Chapter 342 The Game (2)
Qing Guanzi took the pot, immediately uncorked it, took a sip, smacked his lips, and said, "The flavor is a bit weak, but the quantity is enough."
Then, he poured a lot more into his mouth, weighed the bottle in his hand, and seeing that it was still half full, he returned the bottle to Ji Rong, saying, "Since Junior Sister is so generous, Senior Brother will play this game with you."
"Let's make this clear first. The Danxue Mountains are too vast. My true form is enormous, so I'll only be drilling into the main underground water veins. For the smaller, less visible areas, you can have Juejun find other insect cultivators to handle them."
Ji Rong was overjoyed and immediately bowed down, saying, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Guanshan!"
Then, she took out the Danxue Mountain range map that Jiaojue had given her in the past and pointed it out to Qing Guanzi one by one.
After memorizing the main branches, Qing Guanzi raised his head and looked at Ji Rong, saying, "Junior Sister, you are still from our Jade Void Palace. The state of the Danxue Mountain Range has no effect on Jue Jun. I really can't understand how you can be so kind-hearted?"
Ji Rong raised her head, opened her big beak, and solemnly called out: "Senior brother, have you forgotten? Junior sister was born in the Danxue Mountain Range. Although I have now cultivated to the Emperor Realm, when I lived here in the past, I had only just awakened my wisdom."
Now that I am rich and a great cultivator who has roamed the heavens, why not treat this hometown better?
Qing Guanzi disagreed, saying, "But for us, as long as we are strong, anywhere can be our home."
Many cultivators, after becoming wealthy, will seize a territory and live comfortably. Our Jade Void Mountain Range was seized by Master in a fight back then.
"You're something else, not only not trying to take over any territory, but you even brought your senior brothers and sisters here to work. I really don't know what you're after."
Ji Rong grinned and said, "Of course I want to make this grand plan for ten thousand years, share wealth and honor with you all, and continue to be my wealthy bird."
Senior brother, one day our vital energy will decline.
My junior sister only has some ideas on how to make money. I don't want to live a life of poverty like my senior brother Qinghezi, guarding my meager treasures, nor do I want to just find a place to wait for death.
When that day comes, I will hold my treasures in glory and be respectfully seen off by the monks who admire me.
But you, senior brother, are naturally indifferent to worldly affairs, and you certainly wouldn't agree with my views. So, just consider me a kind-hearted, foolish bird.
Qing Guanzi exhaled a breath of hot air onto Ji Rong's face, but seeing the determination in Ji Rong's beady eyes, he said, "I understand, silly junior sister, let's go play in Chuanshan."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately adopted a businesslike demeanor and nodded, saying, "Senior brother, you go into the mountain and clear the water veins. I will wait for you at the water vein's outlet."
"Once you're out, I'll fly away. If you can catch me, I'll take out the food Brother Wanfa prepared for me and treat him to a big meal."
Qing Guanzi grinned and said, "If I catch you once, does that count as one time? There are eleven major underground water veins in Danxue Mountain. If I catch them all, you'll have to treat me to eleven meals."
Ji Rong immediately flapped her wings and cried out, "Where are the eleven? There are clearly nine!"
Qing Guanzi breathed hot air onto Ji Rong's face, looking like he was about to give up, and said, "Since you want me to untangle the winding underground water veins, then I have to start from the back and work my way forward."
After I've finished combing, shouldn't I then start pushing the material downstream from the source again? This is such hard work; shouldn't you at least give me two decent meals?
Ji Rong said with a bitter face, "What Senior Brother Guan Shan said is very true, but Senior Brother has a big appetite, and I am really afraid that there will not be enough spiritual treasures in the storage ring."
Let's make this clear first: if I don't have enough food for you, you'll have to make me owe you.
Qing Guanzi immediately exclaimed happily, "Of course, it's because I'm kind too."
Before the emergence of the immortal path, the Danxue Mountains consisted of 112 peaks. Where two mountains met, there were often streams or depressions, and the Dan River flowed through the Danxue Mountains.
The Dan River originates from Danxue Mountain, passes through Xingluo Plain, and finally flows into the Tianjiang River.
Nowadays, due to landslides and the collapse of underground water veins, the underground water can only flow to the surface, causing the Danshui water level to fluctuate wildly, making the integration work in Xingluoyuan very difficult.
Qing Guanzi followed Ji Rong to a place where water was seeping out from a collapsed point next to the border mountain. This was the last major break in the underground water source that flowed into the Tianjiang River.
Qing Guanzi transformed into a gigantic body and smoothly burrowed into the mud, like a dragon burrowing into the mud.
Before long, Ji Rong, who was walking in the forest with the map of the Danxue Mountains in her hand, heard Guan Zi's voice clearly coming from under the thick soil, saying, "Junior sister, you've gone the wrong way, come with me."
Ji Rong immediately flapped her wings and ran after the sound. Every time she went a section, she would write a section on the scroll to make it easier to connect with the spiritual vein in the future.
The underground water veins meander and twist, often rotating and turning in one place, like a fish in the deep sea, long and narrow but useful.
As the soil was cleared, the water on the ground visibly decreased.
After passing the border mountain, the Duorang mountain, the Huanhe mountain, and the Wuhe mountain, you emerge from the sixth gap in the underground Qingguanzi.
He swiftly grabbed Ji Rong, then shook off the mud from his body and cleaned all the mud from his mouth and claws before calling out to Ji Rong, "Junior sister, I'm hungry, quickly give me something to eat."
Ji Rong immediately pulled out a storage ring with a fairly large capacity from under his wing, and stood aside, stuffing things into Qing Guanzi's mouth.
After filling half of the storage ring, Qing Guanzi let out a satisfied burp and said, "Sigh, Senior Brother Wanfa is really biased these days. Even though I'm right here, he only prepares food for you, Junior Sister, and doesn't even see me."
Ji Rong rolled her eyes to the sky and pursed her lips, replying, "What are you saying, Senior Brother Guan Shan? You've already come out with me. Even if you don't cultivate this underground water vein, do you think I wouldn't give you something to eat?"
"Senior Brother Guanshan, you're so grown up now, why are you still acting like a cub?"
Qing Guanzi laughed heartily. He rested on the ground for a while, then plunged back into the water veins to continue his cultivation.
Having just finished repairing Zhaoyu Mountain, Qing Guanzi climbed out again. He spat out a pile of jade dust, then grabbed Ji Rong, who was pretending to fly away, and said breathlessly, "Let's stop here for now. I'll rest for a few days and then come back."
Seeing that Qing Guanzi looked exhausted, Ji Rong immediately started feeding him again using her storage ring. Once Qing Guanzi was full, he fell asleep on the spot, and Ji Rong had no choice but to wait by his side.
Qing Guanzi slept for five days before waking up. As soon as he woke up, he asked for food. He took some spiritual herbs from his storage ring and stuffed them into his mouth while excitedly exclaiming to Ji Rong, "Junior Sister, now I finally understand why you asked me to come and repair the water veins, and now I finally understand why you asked them to come here to mine. There are so many mineral deposits in the Danxue Mountains!"
Ji Rong really wanted to say that it was because your good friend Jue Jun couldn't cultivate it himself, but felt that you had a unique talent, that he asked me to lure you to cultivate the water veins.
But as soon as he was about to speak, his eyes darted around, and he raised his head and started to laugh fake, "Hahahaha."
They would work for two or three days, then rest for five or six days. Each time, Ji Rong would have Qing Guanzi capture her, and then take out her storage ring to feed her.
