Chapter 156 Sharing (2)
Ji Rong's eyes darted around, and she immediately stretched out her claws, saying, "Brother Juejun, give me some travel expenses."
Upon seeing this, Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes and slightly curled his lips, saying, "Sure! After your brother finishes dividing it up, I'll give you whatever's left over."
Shan Shui was very tired. After saying those words, he rested on Ji Rong's neck. Shan Wudao said, "Nephew, quickly pick out the things and return the storage ring to me."
Ji Rong nodded and opened Shan Wu's storage ring to search through it.
Inside the storage ring were several tattered pieces of cloth with tangled threads; a pile of withered grass, some pebbles, and three bundles of dry branches... Ji Rong searched for a few moments, but there wasn't even a single spirit crystal inside; it was extremely shabby.
Ji Rong blinked, reminiscing about the days when her family made a living in Ligu City. The items in their worn-out pouches were worth more than the things in this Mountain Without Storage Ring.
Heavens, this is unfair! How can there be a tiger cultivator who doesn't need any treasures at all? Just because he adopted a god, he can somehow become an emperor?!
With a stiff smile, Ji Rong took out the withered branches and leaves from Shan Wu's storage ring, placed them on the ground, straightened the loose threads on the tattered cloth inside, and then put some low-grade spiritual fruits into Shan Wu's storage ring.
Then, she stretched her beak and said with a fake smile, "Ji Rong thanks Uncle Shan Wu. Uncle is so generous. I want all of these on the ground. Ji Rong has also prepared some fruit for Uncle and put it in her storage ring. Uncle can eat some to relieve your boredom."
Shan Wu looked at the group that Ji Rongqing had brought out and suddenly burst into laughter. He circled around Shan Shui and said proudly, "Brother Shan Shui, look, she's even sillier than me. She really is my nephew."

The Mountain and Water God has already formulated a preliminary plan on how to go to the source of the reshaping.
After Shan Shui regained some strength, Ji Rong proposed to absorb the source of life to nourish His broken divine body.
Shan Shui looked at her, and after a few breaths, he sighed, "Young friend Ji Rong, how much can you absorb?"
The source is a source because its energy is too vast; if we absorb too much, the spiritual river is prone to breakage and disconnection under the scouring of the source.
"I have lost my authority and can no longer repair the Spirit River; the Silver Disc does not possess that ability."
Ji Rong said seriously, "You're already beyond saving, why are you thinking so much? I certainly can't absorb more than Jue Jun. If that spirit river is cut off, I'll just cultivate it."
Shan Shui then nodded.
On the way there, Ji Rong asked Shan Shui, "Divine Lord, you can actually absorb enough source water here, but you can't bear to see the water veins of the Canglan Mountains damaged and your people killed or injured, is that right?"
Shan Shui smiled gently and said, "If I were to reshape it, the required source flow would be quite large, and the reshaping would take a considerable amount of time. You are right about one aspect."
Secondly, even if I destroy the water veins of the Canglan Mountains, they will not allow me to obtain enough source water.
I must return to the source to have a chance for reshaping.
Since there was no solution to the problem, Ji Rong said no more and carried the mountains and rivers to the opened Lingyuan Pass.
As Shanshui sat at the break, the source immediately rushed towards her. Ji Rong took root at that moment, frantically absorbing the remaining source within. Just as she had absorbed her fill, Shanshui suddenly got up and left.
"Bang." The Spirit River broke off completely at this point.
"Fix it quickly!" Shan Shui urged.
Ji Rong nodded, calmed her mind, and activated the ancestral tree within her body, placing the phoenix phantom into the spiritual vein; as soon as the phantom entered, it was overjoyed, as if it had come home.
Then the phantom, together with Ji Rong, pieced the broken joint back together, though the stitching was a little crooked; but that didn't matter, the spiritual energy inside had flowed again.
After doing all this, Ji Rong retracted the roots, leaving the phoenix phantom inside. She could sense that although the phantom coveted the ancestral tree within her body, it yearned even more for the spiritual vein beneath.
Thinking back to her previous dream, Ji Rong thought to herself, "Perhaps the true form of this phoenix phantom was born from this spiritual vein."
Having absorbed enough source water, Ji Rong carried the mountains and rivers to find the silver plate. She remembered what the Mountain and Water God had said: the left and right sides of the mountain are not suited for managing internal affairs.
Which species excels at housekeeping? It must be these industrious birds!
Thinking of Manager Bai in the Flower and Bird Pavilion, Ji Rong felt that the egret's luck had come. Now, Ji Rong was a bird with a high reputation under the God Lord.
With her recommendation, this Master Bai will surely be chosen by the proud and noble Lord Yinpan.
Ji Rong felt increasingly proud and dignified as she thought about it. She thought to herself, "If this works out, I need to find an opportunity to talk to this Manager Bai and ask her to make me a feather cushion that's even bigger than the fox's for free."
The thought of getting such a good thing just by talking made Ji Rong immediately raise her head and laugh out loud.
But Ji Rong stopped laughing before she finished.
Shanwu, who was running on the ground, heard Ji Rong laughing loudly without any restraint and immediately flew into the sky.
His bloodthirsty tiger eyes were fixed on Ji Rong, and he roared, "You are carrying mountains and rivers, and a divine lord. Everyone is watching. If you laugh like that again, I will tear you apart."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately shut up.
Ji Rong's recommendation was indeed timely, because Yinpan had an urgent matter to attend to: hosting a banquet for the gods of the Heavenly Palace.
This was His first public banquet since taking office, and He needed many skilled people who knew how to organize such banquets, but there weren't many in the Canglan Temple who knew how to do it.
When Yinpan heard Ji Rong say that there was such a Venerable Realm Bird Talent in the Flower and Bird Pavilion who was extremely prudent in handling affairs, she immediately recalled the scene of summoning Steward Bai back then; thinking about it made her even more satisfied, so she quickly summoned Steward Bai over.
When Manager Bai heard the news, she was directing the waiters to clean; upon hearing it, she was both excited and puzzled, and her two thin legs tumbled down.
After delivering the message, Yin Lian said to Bai Zhushi with envy, "Sister Bai, you're about to make it big. Don't forget me. Talk to my clanswoman, I'm also a dragon talent, and ask her to transfer me over there too."
After the silver tray had arranged for the person in charge of preparing the banquet, the group went to the inner treasury of the mountain and water to check the treasures.
The Mountain and Water God packed up what He needed, then distributed some to His brothers and Ji Rong, and gave the rest to the silver plate.
Inviting the gods to a banquet is not a simple matter. Although the main gods of each palace will not come, the ingredients used will be simpler and the quantity of ingredients will be less.
Even so, with the original wealth of the Silver Plate, even if she were sold ten times, she still wouldn't be able to afford a feast for the gods.
Jiaojue also couldn't afford to host such a banquet; but He proved His Way in the mountains and waters of Canglan, and the Mountain and Water God arranged it for Him. After that, when He ascended, the other gods only hosted banquets for Him, and He no longer needed to host a banquet.
In fact, the fact that the Mountain and Water God has so much wealth is largely due to His consistent frugal lifestyle.
During his tenure, the Mountain and Water God never held grand banquets, and He rarely attended any banquets.
With the gift of the mountains and rivers, Yinpan had the financial means to purchase some fine dishes from Yaochi, thus ensuring the grandeur of this banquet.
After counting the treasures, the two men, Shan Zuo and Shan You, went to deliver invitations to the celestial palaces, explaining that two gods had recently attained enlightenment in the water veins of the Canglan Mountains.
After delivering the invitations, the two of them took the menu they had personally selected on a silver tray and went to Yaochi to bring back all the ingredients needed for the banquet.
