Chapter 232 Something Changes
The woman took out a blood-stained storage ring from her blood wings, then rummaged through it, pouring out a pile of herbs that had lost all their spiritual energy and a few spirit crystals. She said, "Yellow Tiger, since I mastered the Blood Technique, I only use essence blood. Take whatever you want."
Shan Wubian squatted down and began to carefully pick through the spirit crystals. He gathered them into a pile and moved them to his feet. Then he took out his storage ring and poured out all the snacks that Ji Rong had prepared for him. He said, "Your storage ring is even emptier than mine. These snacks are for you."
Then, Shan Wu picked up the spirit crystal he had taken from Shang Nu and strode out.
The wine-drinking woman remained in place, swaying like a piece of red silk, laughing wildly.
Ke Ben led Shan Wu and Ji Rong away from the Zhenxiu Pavilion in a hurry. When they returned to the Jade Void Palace, Ke Ben swung his two thick arms and angrily flattened a slope before yelling at Shan Wu, "Are you stupid? Asking her for things!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Wu, who was lying on the ground, chuckled and said, "I'm stupid."
Ke Ben looked at Shan Wu and felt like his head was about to burst into flames. He took Shan Wu and Ji Rong back to the unloading workshop and saw Qing Qizi directing the work ahead. He put them down and quickly went to lay the array foundation.
Ji Rong watched Ke Ben walk away and anxiously asked Shan Wu, "Uncle, how could you do this?"
Shan Wu proudly flicked his tail and said, "Don't worry, my dear nephew, I know what I'm doing. I can smell the strong smell of blood on her body, and she's old. I figured that no cultivator would want to drink or eat meat with her normally, so I took this opportunity to give her some."
Even if she doesn't like it, it doesn't matter; she's not going to kill us anyway.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong was furious. She asked Shan Wujiang for the jade token she had obtained, and carefully compared it with the token in her palm. She finally discovered that the two jade tokens together were considered one.
Having secured the board of directors of the Unloading Workshop, the urgent issues to be addressed were how to rebuild it and establish a connection with the Jade Pool Immortal Spring.
Hearing the commotion, Qing Qizi came over and asked, "Junior Sister, how is it?"
Ji Rong handed the jade token to Qing Qizi and said in a deep voice, "This is my territory now." She caught up with Ke Ben and said, "Nephew, please take this three-bladed sword back for me to repair."
Upon hearing this sound, Ke Ben immediately stopped. She handed the three knives to Ke Ben and said, "Nephew, you repair it for me first. Once it's repaired, tell me how much treasure it costs, and I will pay you accordingly."
Ke Ben nodded, exhaled a breath of hot air from his nose, grabbed the broken three knives, and left without looking back, leaving Ji Rong and Shan Wu staring at Qing Qizi on the ruins.
Qingqizi said, "Junior Sister, the affairs of the Unloading Workshop are now in your hands. I'll have your nephew Bai Sui come to help you later." Then he left.
As soon as Qing Qizi left, Ji Rong flew into the air, holding up the jade token with her wing claws, and said, "The new chief steward has appeared, why haven't you all come to pay your respects?!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hu Shiba and Jiao Shiwu came down from a tree.
They clasped their hands together in a beaming manner and exclaimed, "Congratulations, Chief Steward Shan Wu!"
The new unloading workshop has been completed, but the new butchers have not yet taken their positions. This chaos lasted only a day and a night.
However, the unloading workshop lost 60% of its cultivators as a result. Ji Rong directed Hu Shiba and two others to dig out the gruesome bodies from the ruins and then neatly arrange them on the ground.
She and Shan Wu dug a deep pit on the spot and buried them all.
One after another, surviving cultivators and servants gathered around.
Ji Rong counted and found there were only eight butchers and three servants, all of whom came from the Heavenly Palace.
Just as Ji Rong finished counting the number of people, the jade token lit up.
"Get to work!" Ji Rong shouted. She and Shan Wu went to the other end of the teleportation array, led the beasts into the slaughterhouse, and then resignedly led the eight butchers to slaughter the beasts.
After slaughtering the beast, Ji Rong personally delivered the meat to it. This process was repeated several times until Ji Rong finally figured out Yaochi's situation.
Yaochi is located in front of the Jade Void Mountain Range. In addition to the Delights Pavilion, it also has a medicine garden, a longevity fruit forest, a rare bird forest, a beast garden, and a dragon pool. The Immortal Spring that Ji Rong longs for is located between the Golden Cauldron Palace and Yaochi. Given Ji Rong's current status, she simply cannot get there.
After finding out the terrain, Ji Rong lamented inwardly, "All my efforts have been for nothing."
But life had to go on. Ji Rong was in charge of delivering the meat, while Shan Wu led the remaining cultivators in the slaughtering, which was quite fulfilling.
Ji Rong then calmed down again and decided to put some effort into dealing with the Blood Phoenix Maiden.
In her spare time, Ji Rong would calm down and cultivate, which brought her a rare moment of peace.
Ji Rong and Shan Wu worked diligently, taking turns offering Shang Nu some of their essence blood every now and then. This quickly earned Shang Nu's approving gaze.
She had lived for so long that she had forgotten what it felt like to interact with others as equals, but Shan Wu and Ji Rong gave her that feeling again.
She no longer disliked Ji Rong's bloodline, and the more she looked at the little bird, the more pleasing it seemed to her.
As for Shan Wu, she initially found him interesting, but after staying with him for a while, she discovered that Shan Wu wasn't very smart. He was just lucky to have become an emperor by following the deceased Canglan God.
Now, she has still hit the jackpot, actually tracing back to the source and comprehending an extraordinary blood technique. The more Shang Nu looked at Shan Wu, the more she felt that the way of heaven was unfair. Therefore, she turned her head to look at Ji Rong, who was also a bird but had a low bloodline, and felt a fondness for her.
Ji Rong naturally noticed Shang Nu's change. The method Shang Nu cultivated was very similar to the complete "Blood Phoenix Scripture" from the past. It seemed that there must be something more to it than that she, a true phoenix, cultivated such a method.
But Ji Rong knew she couldn't ask these questions, so she continued to send her essence blood every few days and waited.
Three months later, one day, the wine-drinking woman suddenly turned grim and screamed at Ji Rong, "Why have you been so attentive these past few days?"
Ji Rong immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "I'm just doing my job."
Shang Nu looked at Ji Rong with a shifty expression, then impatiently flapped her wing at Ji Rong, slamming the door shut. She then began to yell and scream inside. As the soundproof barrier lit up, Ji Rong heard Shang Nu scream through gritted teeth, "You old hag!"
Soon, Ji Rong learned who this "old hag" was. She learned from the butchers at the Zhenxiu Pavilion that it was Qingluan, who had been sent away for a very long time, who had returned. It was said that she had returned holding the hand of a little girl.
As soon as the little girl entered the Golden Cauldron Palace, she seemed to merge into the body of the Golden Cauldron Goddess, who sat regally in the main seat, just like a shadow. The Goddess then began to speak.
These events were widely circulated and spread among the people. Whenever this happened, Ji Rong would slow down and listen carefully to these different voices, trying to analyze more information.
Only after hearing no further news did Ji Rong return to Yuxu Palace. She immediately ran to ask Qingpingzi, who said, "So that's how it is. The Azure Phoenix was actually being trained to have a suitable body."
He paced back and forth on the cliff, swishing his five tails, his heart filled with turmoil. He said, “Junior sister, things are different now. Tell your senior brother honestly, is there any other way to help me perfect the Hundred Skills Seal? I won’t take it for nothing.”
