Chapter 317 Eager to learn (1)
As soon as they set off, Qing Guanzi habitually lay down beside Ji Rong, preparing to fly with his junior sister. But this time, he got up and then returned to the ground.
Qing Guanzi turned to Ji Rong and said, "Junior Sister, why have you gained weight again? Did Senior Brother Wanfa empty out the entire Octagonal Palace and put it in your Guardian Palace? It's really too heavy!"
Ji Rong, without batting an eye, exclaimed, "Where have I gained weight? It's clearly because you, Senior Brother, have become rich and powerful, eating rare delicacies every day, sleeping all day, and getting fat, which has made your body weaker."
"Now even I, a mere royal cultivator, and a single guardian palace cannot carry it; it's clear you're incapable."
Qing Guanzi retorted, "It's not that it can't be carried..."
"Then let's go!" Ji Rong called out, "Our two senior brothers are still waiting for us to set off. Senior brother, you've gained weight now, so please walk slowly so that the younger generation behind us can keep up."
Upon hearing this, Qing Guanzi stopped arguing with Ji Rong. He shook his head and carried Ji Rong and her Shoudao Palace slowly through the clouds.
Qing Guanzi pierced through the clouds, creating one huge cloud hole after another, making it easy for the cultivators trailing behind the group to find him.
They followed the cloud cave that Qingguanzi had emerged from and arrived above the Danxue Mountains, where the mountains and terrain below were clearly visible.
Ji Rong then told Qing Guanzi to stop in the air, and then pointed to the mountains and introduced the mineral deposits in these mountains to Qing Yangzi and Qing Dongzi.
They spent five days circling the Danxue Mountains.
Finally, Qing Yangzi chose Iron Fragment Mountain, which is rich in iron ore. According to Ji Rong, Iron Fragment Mountain is located in a remote area, adjacent to the Jade Void Mountain Range. Moreover, the soil is barren, the vegetation is sparse, and few cultivators like to live here. It is very quiet, which makes Qing Yangzi very satisfied.
Qingdongzi chose Xingluoyuan, which was relatively convenient to travel to and from and had a wide view.
This place, visible from high above, is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and must be one of the few prosperous areas in the Danxue Mountains.
Qing Dongzi thought to himself that since he and his group were array cultivators, they didn't need a large place, but in this area with convenient waterways, they could do some talisman business.
They walked around for a while, chose a spot, and headed to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace at this early morning.
Before they even reached the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, they saw rows of small bird cultivators perched atop the sunlit treetops. Upon seeing them fly in, they called out, "Guests have arrived! Guests have arrived!"
The sound traveled from tree to tree, and soon reached the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.
Upon hearing this sound, Gu Qingqing immediately left the temple and roared in all directions.
Upon hearing this, the group of royal elders, led by Tang Yan, immediately emerged from the forest. Together, they pushed aside the huge grass mat that had been woven recently and laid it on the temple's front courtyard, which was already cracked and held up only by dozens of fixed arrays.
Once the straw mats were laid out, Gu Qingqing and Qingshao each directed the young cultivators to set up tables and stools, and to serve spirit fruits and wine, creating quite a lively scene!
When Ji Rong and her party arrived, the front courtyard had already been decorated as a banquet venue.
Looking at the slightly crooked palace and the cracks showing at the edge of the large plain, Qing Yangzi and Qing Dongzi couldn't help but worry about the current state of the Danxue Mountains.
But this did not affect the fact that Qingyangzi and Qingdongzi's disciples and followers were full of longing for the new life that was about to begin.
Qing Guanzi and Ji Rong, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. As they took their seats, Qing Guanzi remarked to Qing Yangzi and Qing Dongzi, "The cultivators of the Danxue Mountains are the most studious people I have ever seen."
After saying that, he casually picked a table that was a little off to the side and sat down.
As soon as Qing Guanzi sat down, Qing Yangzi and Qing Dongzi watched as various local cultivators from the Danxue Mountains surrounded him, carrying trays of treasures to him.
The girl who used to direct the junior repairmen in serving the delicacies stopped doing so and spontaneously stood in front of Qing Guanzi to record the gifts.
For a time, Qing Guanzi's place was extremely lively. Many cultivators presented gifts to Qing Guanzi and then excitedly shouted and cheered, expressing their great admiration for Qing Guanzi.
Qing Dongzi then whispered to Ji Rong, "Junior Sister, why is this?"
"Oh." Ji Rong said calmly, "Senior brother, you may not know this, but the cultivators of the Danxue Mountain Range are all very studious."
When Senior Brother Qingguanzi was a guest here in the past, he taught the children of the Azure Dragon Clan, and it was very effective.
These are cultivators who have come after hearing the news; they all want Senior Brother Qingguanzi to teach their children some skills.
Qing Yangzi and Qing Dongzi looked at the snake and insect-type and beast-type cultivators surrounding Qing Guanzi and giving him gifts, and felt a little envious.
Qing Yangzi, in particular, was quite tempted when he saw that these young cultivators from the Danxue Mountains were all strong and well-mannered, even better than the rogue cultivators they had recruited from the Yuxu Mountains to work as blacksmiths in previous years.
They both sighed inwardly, "This Danxue Mountain Range truly lives up to its reputation as a place where great clans once lived. Even a poor cultivator like us, who doesn't even have a few spirit crystals, knows that we should learn something."
On the other side, Qing Guanzi was both loving and hurting at this scene. He looked at the gifts on the ground with a conflicted expression and whispered to Qing Tiao beside him, "Tell them to leave. My two senior brothers are very capable. The disciples they have taught have all become emperors or saints."
They are currently invited by Juejun to establish a sect in the Danxue Mountains. You see, they have only brought twenty cultivators with them. They will definitely need many more cultivators.
Instead of worshipping me, they'd be better off going to my senior apprentice's school and learning some skills. If they could even master a tiny bit, they'd be set for life.
Upon hearing this, Qingshao's beautiful, moist eyes curved slightly as she said, "Thank you for informing me in advance, senior."
She stepped forward and whispered a few words to each of the cultivators who had come to deliver gifts. The cultivators' eyes lit up, they bowed to Qing Guanzi, and then withdrew.
Some of the wealthy ones would then take out a drawer full of rare treasures from their storage rings and present them to Qing Yangzi and Qing Dongzi, hoping to become acquainted with them.
Jiaojue watched from afar, and only when he saw that the atmosphere had become heated did he come to sit down in the main seat. He took off the golden fan from his horn and threw it into the air. The golden fan transformed into a golden dragon that circled in the air.
Then, the square gradually became more comfortable, and all the cultivators looked towards the main seat, gradually falling silent.
The monks who presented the gifts all bowed respectfully to the horn-shaped jade pendant before leaving.
Once all the unrelated cultivators had left, Jiao Jue formed a hand seal with his claws, releasing a huge soundproof barrier.
Amidst the clinking of glasses and pleasantries, after several rounds of drinks, He said, "You have all come from afar, which must have been quite tiring, so I will speak frankly beforehand."
As you can see, the Danxue Mountains are now in a state of disrepair, with cracks in the mountains and depressions in the valleys.
Now that you have chosen your destinations, I will arrange the migration of your territories and peoples. However, you will each be responsible for the maintenance of the roads.”
