Chapter 316 Preparing Supplies (2)
Qingpingzi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she said, "Junior Sister is absolutely right, that's excellent!"
Having obtained a good idea, he naturally had to reward him. Qingpingzi stretched out his five tails and swept them across the cloud cliff. He pulled away the clouds and mist, revealing the golden cave. Then he beckoned to Ji Rong with his claws and went inside.
Ji Rong followed and stepped inside. As soon as she entered, she felt as if she had entered a huge treasure trove. There were piles of spiritual treasures everywhere and various storage rings everywhere. Ji Rong opened her mouth wide and exclaimed in astonishment, "Senior brother, is teaching the Dao really this profitable?"
Qingpingzi smiled and nodded, saying, "I am unwilling to accept them, but those who come to visit me insist on giving them to them. They often secretly throw them onto this cloud cliff and run away, so I have no choice but to accept them."
Some who have attained immortality and established their own lineages will also come again with gifts to express their gratitude.
Ji Rong was immediately delighted and said, "Since Senior Brother doesn't like these items, then give them all to A Rong."
As she spoke, Ji Rong swiftly extended her wing claws and pulled out a spirit sack from under her wing, handing it to Qing Pingzi.
However, she was too happy and her movements were a bit too exaggerated. The heavy storage ring that was originally under her wings fell off and was hanging in the air.
Ji Rong tucked it under its wing, opened its mouth and cried out, "Senior brother, I am about to embark on a long journey to the barren Danxue Mountains. That is my hometown, and it is now quite desolate."
"Give me plenty, or next time I come back, you'll see a dull-feathered, scruffy bird."
Then, she stretched out her slender neck, opened her beak, and stared longingly at Kiyohirako.
Qingpingzi took the spirit sack and stuffed the things he didn't like into it for Ji Rong. As he stuffed them in, he said, "Junior sister, the disciples of my Jade Void Palace are devoted to their skills. It's fine to let them manage internal affairs, but this new generation is ultimately inexperienced."
"Junior sister, it's good that you go. It doesn't matter if they suffer some losses, just don't let them die out there."
Ji Rong nodded and said, "I have already told Jue Jun about this, and Jue Jun will naturally suppress the native cultivators of the Danxue Mountain Range."
Once the disciples of our senior brothers have arrived, we will open mines to give local cultivators some opportunities to earn wealth. If any promising talents emerge, they will be recruited into the new sect. In this way, they will all be willing.
Qingpingzi nodded with a smile and said, "Junior Sister's actions are appropriate; that's excellent."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong's mind raced, and he immediately laughed, "A proper journey requires treasures to pave the way. Senior brother, please decorate it for me, fill it up!"
Qingpingzi filled most of the sacks for Ji Rong, which contained mostly unique spiritual herbs and materials from all over the Nine Provinces. There was also a small storage ring containing spiritual crystals. With both treasures and spiritual gems, Ji Rong was completely satisfied.
After they left the cave, Ji Rong tied the spirit sack on the cloud cliff and put it on his back, then called out, "Senior brother, I love all the things you don't like. You have to keep them for me and don't give them to others. I'll come back to move them in a year at most."
These very informal remarks greatly shocked Jin Xi, who was serving Qing Pingzi, but He Sui only glanced at Ji Rong slightly before continuing to do the work on her claws.
The old Taoist priest Gu Lin was used to seeing Ji Rong like this, and he spoke up at the right time, saying, "Uncle-Master Wanfa, Aunt-Master Qing Jizi will be leaving soon. Why not give her some treasures for protection?"
Qingpingzi nodded and said, "Very well!" Then he shouted several times towards the octagonal palace.
Upon hearing Pingzi's voice, Yituan, who was guarding the puppet beasts in the Octagonal Palace, quickly subdued them, while Houjia, who was guarding the talisman array in the Octagonal Palace, swiftly opened the layers of array formations.
Qingpingzi led Ji Rong to the side hall, which was the same size as the main hall, with a huge circular platform in the center that shimmered with dark light.
The side hall is covered with black ironwood cabinets hanging on the roof and walls, which are spread out layer by layer around the round platform.
The cabinets were intricately carved with layers of arrays, hidden within the wood and closely connected to the round platform.
The cabinet was filled to the brim with various ritual implements, arranged in order: swords, axes, knives, blades, spears, bows, hammers, clubs, maces, ropes, whips, rings, furnaces, tripods, banners, whisks, bowls, alms bowls, vases, pagodas, and so on.
There are also ordinary-looking precious objects such as hairpins, hair ornaments, mirrors, handkerchiefs, pendants, bracelets, locks, chains, scissors, belts, and needles.
Qingpingzi flicked his whisk, cleared the layers of arrays in the cabinet, and led Ji Rong to the round platform, saying, "Junior sister, you choose."
Ji Rong asked curiously, "Senior brother, why didn't you put the whisk in Master's hands this time? Would Master agree to that?"
Qingpingzi laughed and said, "Our master has long since passed away. There isn't even a trace of ashes left. Even if we told her, she wouldn't know."
Our Jade Void Palace respects teachers and values the Way. The three swords we gave you last time were only given under special circumstances.
Ji Rong smiled knowingly. She picked and chose among them, and finally picked out a magical artifact made of hundreds of needles.
Upon seeing it, Qingpingzi exclaimed, "Junior sister, this won't do. This is for physicians."
"Junior sister, since you don't study medical skills, it's a waste to use you."
Ji Rong then pointed to a magnificent phoenix hairpin at the very top of the treasure shelf and asked, "What about this one?"
Qingpingzi shook his head and said, "This is a puppet phoenix beast. It was made by cutting off the bones and feathers of a true phoenix when Master was alive. There is only one of its kind in the world. Since you don't cultivate puppetry, Junior Sister, you can leave it here. You can find another one."
Ji Rong narrowed her eyes slightly, then examined it carefully again, pointing to a rope from which a faint light was emanating, and said, "Those should be fine, right?"
After glancing at it, Qingpingzi said, "Junior sister, this is a tool used by array cultivators to measure the depth of array patterns. You don't cultivate array techniques..."
Ji Rong raised her neck and rolled her eyes halfway, interrupting Qing Pingzi, and said, "Senior brother, this won't do, that won't do, then pick one out for me."
But watch closely, senior brother. If it's close combat, I already have three stabs.
If it's a ranged attack, I have this body of magnificent feathers that can be used as a flying sword.
If any cultivator were to try and kill me, I would still have the golden light of faith to protect me.
My senior brother thinks I'm lacking something, so he'll give me whatever it is.
At this point, Ji Rong felt that he was now extremely difficult to kill, and then happily grinned, revealing his beak full of fangs, and laughed loudly towards the sky.
Qingpingzi looked at the numerous magical artifacts hanging around him, then stared at Ji Rong for a moment before saying, "Junior Sister, you already have quite a few magical artifacts on you."
Well then, Junior Brother Guanshan has visited the Danxue Mountains many times and is very familiar with the area.
Since Junior Nephew Ke Ben and Junior Nephew She Shu went to the mountain gate, Junior Brother Guan Shan (Qing Guanzi) has been quite free. He sleeps in his cave every day now, so let him accompany you this time.
If there are any local cultivators who do not submit to Lord Jue, then let Guan Shan go and attack them.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong exclaimed joyfully, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Senior Brother Qingguanzi has been holed up in his cave sleeping all day; he's probably gained quite a bit of weight. Let's go on a trip to the Danxue Mountains together, and we'll definitely help him lose weight.”
Qingpingzi laughed and said, "That's right. Yuanjun's Nightlight Banquet is scheduled for February next year when the flowers bloom. If you're going, remember to come back around that time."
Ji Rong nodded and said, "I understand, Senior Brother. I will go with Senior Brother Qing Guanzi at that time." Then, she bid farewell to Qing Pingzi and left happily carrying the large sack.
A few days after Ji Rong returned, Qing Yangzi and Qing Dongzi informed Qing Pingzi of their plans to establish a sect and a Taoist temple in the Danxue Mountains. Qing Pingzi naturally agreed.
He said, "Right now, Qing Guanzi and Qing Jizi are both free. One is good at fighting and the other is good at planning. So let them go with you."
When Qing Dongzi heard that Qing Guanzi was also going, he was overjoyed.
Qingpingzi instructed Gulin to go to the Bajiao Palace to select three magical artifacts left behind by Lingxiaozi for each of them, in order to help them establish their own sects.
Qingyangzi and Qingdongzi happily accepted the magical artifacts. After returning home, they arranged internal affairs in less than half a month.
Then, each of them took twenty cultivators who were willing to go out and whose skills were decent, and they followed Qing Guanzi and Ji Rong to the Danxue Mountains.
