Chapter 315 Preparing Supplies (1)
Ji Rong and Jiao Jue sat down in the hall inside Qingyangzi Cave.
After Qingyangzi swam ahead to light the lamps, Ji Rong pulled Jiaojue aside, slightly raised her round eyes, and whispered, "Juejun, how long do you plan to stay in the Qilou? Why did you come here without telling me?"
The supporting array around my Guardian Palace has now been repaired.
My senior brother Qingdongzi saw me today and asked when we would set off for the Danxue Mountains.
Jiao Jue squinted and smiled, “Great Sage Gao Yang (Qing Yangzi) also wants to set up a mining office in the Danxue Mountains. These days, we have been studying the techniques of mineral crystal refining in the Qilou.”
Ji Rong winked at Jiao Jue, then raised his wing claws and rhythmically stomped on Jiao Jue's hind claws, saying, "Forging can be done one hammer blow at a time, why are you using your authority to forge it, brother? What a waste!"
Jiaojue extended its claws, pressed down on Ji Rong's wing claws that were hitting it hard, and sneered with narrowed eyes: "Your senior brother Qingyangzi is quite wealthy. He gave you that bit of source."
Qing Yangzi, who was described as wealthy, had not yet entered the depths of the cave when he heard these words. He quickly swam back a few steps and said calmly, "Jue Jun, please do not joke with Junior Sister Qing Jizi like this."
"Junior sister, this bit of source energy was something I obtained from you before, but I've never used it. It's finally come in handy today."
Ji Rong rarely saw Qing Yangzi act so stingy, so she immediately raised her head and laughed loudly.
After laughing, she spread one wing and said, "Senior Brother and Juejun, have you figured out the refining technique? If it will take some more time, I'll go out and have some fun. Call me when you have made progress."
Qingyangzi immediately nodded and said, "That's very good."
"Junior sister, you can leave later. Try my stalactite marrow water first." After saying that, she wiggled her big tail and swam inside.
The stalactite marrow water was icy and refreshing, with some spiritual energy gathered in it, but it wasn't particularly delicious. Ji Rong drank a few cups and then asked Qing Yangzi for a full pot.
She happily stuffed the pot of stalactite marrow water into her fully-filled storage ring before getting up to bid farewell to Qing Yangzi.
As they reached the door, Jiao Jue stretched his head out in front of Ji Rong and said, "If you want to wander around, then wander around the vicinity of Shoudao Palace. I will definitely return within twenty days."
Ji Rong nodded and said, "Okay."
After leaving Qingyangzi's cave, she headed towards the Blood Pill Workshop.
Ji Rong took the teleportation array to the Golden Summit of Kunlun, and strolled around the original medicine garden, which Qing Qizi had renamed the Precious Medicine Mansion, as if she were visiting a garden.
She rushed to the edge of the Golden Cauldron Palace, which was now shrouded in thick fog, and waited there for half a day. Seeing no sound from inside, she returned.
Ji Rong sat in the Guardian Palace, holding the two storage rings containing the sediment of the source stream, and continued to think about the feasibility of recreating the source stream in the Danxue Mountains.
Twelve days later, Jiao Jue returned. Upon seeing Ji Rong, he tossed his head, and the four scepters instantly transformed into four great dragons in the air, surrounding the two of them completely.
Jiao Jue asked, "You called me back, is there any progress?"
Ji Rong grinned and said, "Of course! Big brother, you'd better watch carefully."
As she spoke, she conjured a tree trunk. When a faint golden source of energy accumulated at the roots, Ji Rong used her roots to place that source of energy into the claw of the Horned Jade, transforming back into a bird form. She said triumphantly, "Big brother, how was it?"
Looking at the pale gold, Jiao Jue slowly nodded, then bowed to Ji Rong with its paws clasped and said, "Arong, thank you!"
Ji Rong proudly raised her chin and grinned, "Big brother, there's no need for that. Just call me Rainbow Bird, or Silly Bird, or Dead Bird. It feels awkward to suddenly call me A Rong."
Besides, I'm not doing this solely for you. If this works out, we'll both be much better off.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue nodded emphatically. Since leaving the Immortal Path and the Danxue Mountain Range cracked, his wandering heart had once again found a place to rest.
Ji Rong beckoned the two large storage rings containing the sediment of the source stream to Jiao Jue and said, "Big brother, let's first have Senior Brother Qing Dongzi and Senior Brother Qing Yangzi erect the sect's plaque in the Danxue Mountains and recruit many disciples."
In this way, the impoverished creatures of the Danxue Mountains will have the opportunity to learn.
Then, we'll start mining, giving the impoverished cultivators of the Danxue Mountains a chance to earn money and treasure.
We can directly transfer these mineral deposits through the Jade Void Palace to exchange for wealth.
If anyone dares to squat in the middle and block our way, we'll stew that person who's blocking our way.
Brother, once these creatures have work and can learn, the Danxue Mountains will surely become as vibrant as the waterways of the Canglan Mountains, and then we will be able to accumulate treasures.
After the Mountain and Water God emerges and repairs the earth veins of the Danxue Mountains, I will join forces with him to connect all the spiritual veins into this Source Sedimentation Pool.
Ji Rong's considerations were so thorough that Jiao Jue couldn't find a single fault with them.
Having decided on his direction, Jiaojue intended to return to the Danxue Mountains ahead of time.
Before leaving, He personally carved a map of the terrain and mineral resources of the Danxue Mountains and gave it to Ji Rong, saying, "Silly bird, you can only let your senior brothers and sisters see this map, you must never spread it out."
Ji Rong took a look and said seriously, "Don't worry, brother, I'll memorize it, so we won't need the diagram."
Jiaojue nodded slightly, and the golden fan on its horn fell off and transformed into a small golden dragon. It inhaled into the air, and the wind came.
At that moment, Jiao Jue, along with Ji Zhuang and Gu Qingqing, rode the wind towards the Danxue Mountains.
After parting ways with Jiao Jue, Ji Rong rushed to the archway and called down Du Yan. She left half a small storage ring of spiritual treasures for Du Yan and Vortex, carefully instructing them to guard the mountain well and cultivate diligently. She told them that if they didn't have enough food, they should go to the Blood Pill Workshop to get more.
After giving her detailed instructions, Ji Rong headed towards Yunya.
Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi said proudly, "Senior brother, you must reward me well. These days, I persuaded Jue Jun to send out several treasure mountains. Senior brothers Qing Yangzi and Qing Dongzi are willing to go to the Danxue Mountains to establish their own sects after hearing this."
Qingpingzi looked at Ji Rong and asked, "When will Junior Sister return? After I finish explaining the 'Talisman Techniques,' I intend to teach you the 'Spirit Beast Taming Techniques.'"
This technique was originally owned by Yaochi in the Kunlun Mountains. Although it is beneficial to the continuation of the race, this technique has always been quite controversial.
"Perhaps my junior sister will release the tree trunk again, allowing me to deduce its structure along its veins?"
Ji Rong looked up at the sky and rolled her eyes. She thought to herself that her senior brother Qingpingzi was really addicted to teaching, but how could she let him do everything he was already familiar with?
Normally, it wouldn't be a problem for me to help with the deduction when I have nothing else to do, but now, verifying the source pool is more important.
So Ji Rong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Senior brother, actually, you don't necessarily have to be the one to pass on this knowledge. There are plenty of cultivators in our Jade Void Palace who want to promote their skills. You can have them compile books and submit them. You can choose some reliable ones and let them verify them themselves."
When the time comes, you will appear at the preaching meeting and recommend the preacher. After the preacher finishes speaking, you will summarize and share your own insights.
Who knows, our Jade Void Palace might see an increasing number of cultivators spreading the Dao, accumulating karmic connections and achieving immortality—wouldn't that be even better?
