Chapter 310 Storage (2)
Just then, Qianmian heard Qingpingzi say to Qingjizi, "Junior sister, you've come at the right time. This is the Great Sage Qianmian, named Youhe."
His ancestors had a past connection with our master; he almost became a disciple of our master back then.
But it dodged quickly, and the old master and his master scooped up the sixteenth junior sister, Qing Tangzi.
Now, Youhe also wants to switch to the path of immortality. It has already taken the first step on the path of benevolent killing, but it has been unable to resonate with heaven and earth for a long time.
Junior sister, do you have a good idea?
Ji Rong thought to herself that this Senior Brother Qingpingzi really knew how to make things difficult for her, asking such a question that was not in line with her cultivation level right from the start: "I am only at the Emperor Realm now, and I am only a half-saint. How could I possibly know about things above the Saint Realm?"
So she immediately bowed to Youhe and said, "I have heard that the Great Sage with a Thousand Faces lives alone in a secluded valley and cultivates asceticism for many years. Perhaps he is lonely because he has not been out for a long time."
If the Great Sage were to travel more, explore the beautiful landscapes, attend several banquets, and engage in more exchanges, he might just attain enlightenment.
Upon hearing Ji Rong's words, Youhe paused for a moment, then, with a simple and honest expression, bowed its eight paws to Ji Rong and said, "Thank you for informing me." Then, all seventeen of its paws moved at once, pulling out a pile of objects and stacking them on the cloud table. It then got up to bid farewell to Qingpingzi and truly went on its travels.
Ji Rong stared dumbfounded at Qing Pingzi as the strange-looking Thousand-Faced Great Sage left, saying, "Senior Brother, are the Ape-Face Fish Clan really that stupid? How could they just leave like that?"
Qingpingzi laughed and said, "The Ape-faced Fish clan is honest, simple, and keeps its promises, but Youhe is not."
Junior sister, do you know how it got its face? Every time it devours a living being, it attaches that being's face to its own flesh to intimidate all directions. That is its path of killing. This path is very narrow, and if you look closely, there are many obstacles and it is not easy to walk.
Youhe has been here for many days, and we do have a past relationship. I can't send it away, nor can I deceive it, so I've asked you, junior sister, to help your senior brother send it off.”
Ji Rong exclaimed in disbelief, "But it seems to really believe it."
Qingpingzi said dismissively, "What you said is correct."
There are few old gods left who can create things, yet it still lives a wretched life, unable to find liberation.
It has cultivated to the point of sainthood, and has few rivals in the world.
It wanted to go further and had to come out and try; if it stayed in that deep ravine, it would forever remain a fish.
After saying that, Qingpingzi looked Ji Rong up and down, and then looked at her expectantly and said, "Junior sister, what techniques have you been practicing all these years? Could you transform into a tree so that your senior brother can learn from you?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong's eyes darted around as she pondered. She immediately extended her claws and said, "Senior brother, I've only just started walking and don't want to become a tree. Let me relax for a few days first. I've come to ask you for some items."
"Give me one of those gourds that Master gave you, each big enough to hold a mountain."
Qingpingzi stared at Ji Rong without saying a word, so Ji Rong nodded with a bitter face and said, "I'll let you watch for a day."
"Seven days!" Qingpingzi suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Junior Sister, over the years I have taught you the 'Medicine Classic,' 'Alchemy Classic,' 'Puppet Dao Foundation Techniques,' 'Mastery of Array Formations,' 'Spiritual Weapon Nurturing Techniques,' and 'Five Elements Mutual Generation Techniques.'"
Next year I intend to teach "Talisman Techniques," but these techniques are obscure and difficult to understand, and in the past, they have required extremely high talent from the cultivators. Junior sister, could you help your senior brother to organize them so that I can at least pass them on smoothly?
"No way! Two days!" Ji Rong exclaimed, jumping up and down. "I've been your support for so many years to help you achieve immortality, and now that I can finally walk again, you're trying to pull this trick on me!"
Qingpingzi looked at Ji Rong earnestly and said, "Junior Sister, that gourd can hold two mountains!"
Ji Rong rolled her eyes and said, "I don't want a gourd that can hold two mountains. If you give me two gourds that can each hold a mountain, I'll let you watch for another seven days."
Furthermore, I've heard that the Primordial Goddess is going to hold a small banquet. I wonder if she has invited me? I'd like to go.
"Okay!" Qingpingzi said happily.
With the agreement made, Ji Rong pouted and asked Qing Pingzi for a gourd. She returned the gourd to Shoudao Mountain, gave it to Jiao Jue, and taught him how to use the gourd.
Ji Rong watched as Jiao Jue poured out all the golden source energy from its belly and sealed it inside the gourd before returning to Yunya with a gleam in her eyes.
Thinking about the origin of the gourd, Ji Rong took out the huge storage ring that the horn jade had not yet returned to, which still contained more than half of the source sediment of the storage ring.
Once she reached the cloud-covered cliff, she pulled Qingpingzi into the depths of the clouds and asked, "Senior brother, do you know where that source originated and whether it can be reborn?"
Qingpingzi said, "The source is formed by the condensation of the essence of the spiritual veins, and it is difficult to regenerate. Now that the earth veins of the Nine Provinces are broken and in ruins, it is even more difficult."
Ji Rong, however, was thinking about her own abilities and whispered, "Senior brother, if we move the spiritual vein here and connect it to the source pool, will we be able to obtain a new source?"
Qingpingzi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but then he shook his head and said, "Junior sister, it sounds simple, but the inside of the spiritual vein is full of spiritual crystal mineral veins and scattered spiritual energy. It cannot be moved or connected at all."
Even if such a movable meridian were found, the source pool has now been completely destroyed by several main gods.
Without that sediment as a base, no matter how many spiritual mineral veins gather, not a single drop of source water can be generated.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong was secretly delighted, and a bold idea had already taken shape in her mind.
She was thrilled, thinking that if she succeeded, she, Ji Rong, could have as much of the source water here as she wanted.
She thought to herself, "If I can live that long, I might even have a god serve as my maid!"
Thinking this, Ji Rong wished she could immediately return to her Shoudao Mountain and verify it properly with Jiaojue, and had little interest in helping Qingpingzi simplify the "talisman technique".
She only released the tree trunk, then let Qingpingzi compare it with the leaves to deduce and verify.
Seven days passed quickly. Ji Rong pried the gourd out of Qing Pingzi's reluctant grip and said, "Senior brother, I heard that Yuanjun also obtained a lot of Origin Essence that day. If you can exchange it for me, I will allow you to use my tree trunk to deduce the Great Dao for a month."
Upon hearing this, Qingpingzi, who had lost the nourishment of knowledge, immediately exclaimed without thinking, "That thing is not easy to exchange. Junior sister, if you let me see it for three months, I will go and give it a try."
Ji Rong took out the storage ring of the horn jade and said, "If Senior Brother can exchange for so much, what does it matter if it takes three months?"
Qingpingzi didn't even look at it, and immediately nodded. No one knows what method he used, but in just a few days he scooped up the sediment from the source.
Ji Rong unceremoniously took the storage ring containing the sediment of the source for himself, and then opened the tree trunk to let Qing Pingzi examine it.
For three months, Qingpingzi worked day and night without rest. In the end, with the help of Ji Rong's Enlightenment Tree, he compiled and simplified the "talisman techniques" circulating among the various races in Yuxu Palace, and translated them into the common language of the demon race.
Ji Rong leaned closer, flipped through the intricately carved wooden book, and then handed it to the old Taoist priest Gu Lin, who was standing to the side.
Her eyes lit up, and she said, "Senior brother, your book is excellent! Quickly have Junior Nephew Gu send it to the Artifact Pavilion for engraving. Once the first batch is engraved, we'll sell it. Senior brother, you're going to make a fortune again!"
Qingpingzi smiled subtly, "Junior sister, how can you do this? Senior brother isn't doing this to earn treasures."
Ji Rong smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. Senior brother didn't charge tuition for teaching them, and this book didn't actually charge any treasures either. It only calculated the cost of spirit wood loss and the labor costs of the weapon masters."
"Now, let's publish this book first, so that those cultivators who are willing to pay can study it. When you preach, they will surely be able to understand it."
Qingpingzi nodded and said, "Junior Sister is right."
