Chapter 346 Progress (2)
As they were talking, Feng Qing, with his eyes squinted, took small, quick steps and, with his three little dragons, methodically set up the table and chairs, reminiscent of the old days.
Ji Rong couldn't help but praise, "Brother, when it comes to training subordinates, I don't think anyone in the whole world can compare to you."
Jiao Jue accepted Ji Rong's flattery without any qualms, and the two began to talk about recent events.
During the time Ji Rong and Qing Guanzi were at Yuxu Palace, the Danxue Mountains underwent significant changes.
More than 70% of the underground water veins have been restored; only some corners and edges need careful repair.
Both mining lines at Tiexieshan have commenced full-scale construction.
On Xingluo Plain, thanks to the dredging of the underground water veins, the soil has dried out, which has also made the formation of Jiufeng and his group much faster and has been completed.
Currently, they are diligently refining the low-level talismans that Ji Rong mentioned, and have already used elm bark as the main material to refine the first "Swift Wind Talisman" that can reduce body weight. Although it can only last for ten breaths, it is very suitable for small cultivators who are heavy and cannot run fast.
Meanwhile, Qingshao is leading her tribe to dredge the Dan River. Before long, the Dan River, as an inland river of the Danxue Mountains, will be able to be used for transportation, just like the Cang River and the Nan River.
In short, the Danxue Mountains present a thriving scene.
Ji Rong raised his head and said, "Brother, now that we've started developing, are there any rules?"
"The sect system of the Jade Void Mountain Range was put on the right track by Senior Brother Guan Shan, so I think it would be most suitable for him to train the defense force of the Danxue Mountain Range."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue immediately relaxed his brows, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, saying, "It's wonderful that Guan Shan is willing to come."
He opened his mouth and pulled out a huge storage ring from it. He took out the Canglan Mountains Water Vein Management Regulations that he had already copied and handed them to Ji Rong, saying, "Take a look, is there anything that needs to be changed?"
He then took out a scroll depicting the entire Danxue Mountains, marked with the size of the peaks and the vegetation, and gave it to Qing Guanzi, saying, "Since Guanshan is willing to be here, I will give you a mountain to use as your cave dwelling. Come, Guanshan, take a look. Among these unmarked peaks, is there one you like?"
Ji Rong also handed the scroll filled with regulations to Qing Guanzi, saying, "Senior Brother Guanshan, take a look at this and keep what's useful. Delete what's not."
Qing Guanzi first took a quick look at the regulations and found them to be very comprehensive, with even the punishments clearly written. He didn't need to use his brain at all; he only needed to make slight modifications. He was very satisfied.
He then unfolded the map of the Danxue Mountains and pointed to the mountain behind the "Great Wind Sect" on Xingluo Plain, saying, "This place is the closest, making it convenient for me to execute serious criminals in the future."
Jiao Jue pointed to another mountain and said, "Guanshan, the mountain you prefer was originally located within the territory of the 'Great Wind Sect'."
Why don't you choose this one? Although it's farther, it's larger. You've worked on water veins, so you should know that this mountain is better. If you want to mine it, you can do so according to the same proportions as before.”
The mountain that Jiaojue refers to is even better, because it is a mountain of gold and jade, and most of the gold and jade in the mudflats come from this mountain.
The fact that treasures were delivered was... excellent! Qing Guanzi immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Jue. I will go to Xingluo Plain right away and ask my friend Zhan Shi to recruit workers to build a memorial archway and repair my cave."
After saying that, Qing Guanzi hurriedly headed towards Xingluo Plain.
Since we are waiting for the meat to come to us, we should first make sure our cave dwelling is in good condition.
Qing Guanzi wagged his tail and shook his head, thinking happily, "Let the disciples of the Great Wind Sect come to my place to open a jade mine. I'll supervise them. Those who obey will be rewarded with jade, and those who disobey will be given food to eat."
Once the market opens, I can profit from both!
Ah, if only I could get Master's recipe for making flesh pills from my senior brother, and then have Junior Sister Qing Ji Zi select a few promising talents from the Blood Pill Workshop to refine flesh pills for me, wouldn't that be wonderful!
Inside the Shoudao Palace, Ji Rong spread her wings and took off the two storage rings hanging around her neck, then proudly hung them around Jiao Jue's neck.
With delight, Jiao Jue stretched out his claws. He no longer squinted and grabbed the storage ring with one claw. He was moved, but still said with his claws outstretched, "Now that the divine authority has left my body, I don't need so much treasure."
"Hmph." Ji Rong said, "You're being too polite. Then give it back to me quickly."
"No need." Jiao Jue immediately stiffened his slightly red horse face and said in a gruff voice, "Feng Qing once told me to follow you, so what's mine is yours now. I'll keep it for you."
That being said, the jade pendant hadn't been displayed for a long time, and there was no indication that it would be taken off.
Jiaojue sat at the table, made a hand seal to create a soundproof barrier, and used its claws to twirl the strings of its storage ring. With a satisfied look on its face, it squinted and asked Ji Rong, "Colorful Bird, Guan Shan is usually only interested in banquets, so why is he so enthusiastic now?"
Ji Rong laughed and said, "Senior Brother Guanshan used to love eating meat the most, followed by drinking. I asked him to come to the Danxue Mountains and eat those extremely unruly ones. He felt that there was good meat to eat, so he was eager to do so."
On the way there and back, we'd fly around slowly, dangling our storage rings, attracting those with ill intentions. Once they'd had their fill, they'd definitely be even less inclined to leave.
Then, Ji Rong craned his neck and whispered, "Big brother, now that the water veins are 70% repaired, let's start repairing the spiritual veins and recreating the source. Where do you want to build it?"
Jiao Jue pondered for a while and said, "In the past, there was a huge spiritual vein in the Phoenix Clan's territory of Luohuang Ridge. It should be usable if we repaired it."
Secondly, Bibo Pool is also nice, but using either of these places would require some persuasion, a couple of fights, and would damage the mountainside.
Ji Rong took out a leather scroll depicting the Danxue Mountains and the course of underground water veins. Thinking back to the appearance of Luohuang Ridge in the past, she sighed, "I was born on Qingluan Peak. There is the only testing array for the Phoenix Clan on Luohuang Ridge."
Now that the Golden Mother Goddess has passed away, if there is any extra treasure left, we can rebuild that testing array and erect a monument for the Wind Maiden and those spirited but tragically killed bird cultivators.
Let's find another source point here.
Jiao Jue nodded and said, "I understand. Once the Danxue Mountains produce something, I will repair the testing array for the Phoenix Clan, build the ancestral hall, and erect a monument."
Ji Rong looked at the scroll for a while, then pointed to the Dragon and Phoenix Mountain below and said, "Brother, this place has the richest spiritual energy. How about we build the Source Regeneration Pool on this mountain?"
Jiao Jue frowned and said, "Isn't Dragon Phoenix Mountain too high? Its source is like water; wouldn't it be better if it settled at a lower level?"
Ji Rong replied, "Brother, you've already dismantled the main pillars of the temple. If the temple really collapses, it won't be good for you either."
Your four powers need to drink from the source, and my tree trunk needs strong guards to protect it. Wouldn't it be better if I built the pool next to your temple?
When I verified this at the Guardian Palace, I discovered that this tree trunk doesn't need to rely on terrain to gather its spiritual energy; as long as the spiritual energy can be received, it shouldn't be a problem.
The dragon and bird then entered the back courtyard of the temple. Jiao Jue said majestically to the remaining three dragons, "Hide the temple. From now on, no one else shall be allowed to enter except for me and Ji Rong."
The three dragons nodded and immediately surrounded Jiao Jue and Ji Rong. They opened their mouths and imprinted the claw marks of the two on their tongues, then transformed into large dragons emitting a faint light and coiled up around the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.
Clouds gathered, and lightning bolts emerged from them, completely obscuring the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.
Ji Rong conjured a tree trunk on the spot, calmed her mind, and took root in the ground along the jade vein behind her.
