Chapter 500 Visiting the Mine (2)
In the days that followed, Ji Rong sat upright on the throne of the supreme ruler, expressionless as he received the greetings of cultivators from all over the Nine Provinces who had come to pay their respects, his eyes vacant as he pondered his own thoughts.
With her most important family and friends far away, Ji Rong had no interest in the unfamiliar cultivators filling the hall.
"These extraterrestrial spirit crystals can't be used in large quantities. I wonder how they are doing in the Blue Eternity Realm. I have to hurry back!"
With matters beyond the heavens on her mind, Ji Rong instructed Ze Peng to send a message to Haiya Mountain in Juzhou, asking Qing Tanzi to personally deliver all the extraterrestrial spirit crystals to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.
She then sent a letter summoning Qing Guangzi and He Sui, the former owner of the Li Dan Fang.
Ji Rong gave He Sui a ring of extraterrestrial spirit crystals, informing them that these spirit crystals contained little spiritual energy and many impurities, and that using too many would cause blockages in their meridians; she instructed them to go back and refine some useful pills to treat the blockages in their meridians caused by absorbing extraterrestrial spirit crystals.
Many years later, He Sui had already established his own Li Dan Sect in the Mang Shen Mountains.
She was deeply inspired after reading Shan Zhongfeng's various elixir formulas, and then focused her energy on refining commonly used elixirs.
After she separated and established her own sect, she ordered her disciples to refine and improve pills in large quantities, just like the Blood Pill Workshop.
Although the effects of her improved pills were only average, their medicinal properties were mild and moderate, with no side effects and a low price.
Therefore, minor cultivators in parts of Zhongzhou, Liangzhou, and Cangzhou all love to buy pills from the Li Dan Sect to consume.
Rather than calling the Li Dan Sect a sect, it's more accurate to describe it as a larger version of the Li Dan Room, a pill-refining workshop.
He Sui never expected that his highly respected and accomplished Uncle Qing Ji Zi would still remember him and leave this good thing of improving pills to him.
She thought to herself that if she could successfully refine this, her cultivation level might be able to advance to the next level.
Therefore, she immediately beamed with joy, stood up, and happily accepted the storage ring, directly accepting it on behalf of Qing Guangzi, saying, "Thank you for your high regard, Lord. Master Suihe will refine it as soon as he gets back."
After seeing off Qing Guangzi and He Sui, and having thoroughly observed the tribal leaders who had arrived that day, Ji Rong returned to the Source Regeneration Pool. Facing Shan Shui, who was already sitting beside the Na Ring Mound, he solemnly said, "Divine Lord, let's begin."
Shan Shui nodded, took the bowl off his head, and placed it on top of Ji Rong's head.
Then one could see that the bowl emitted a dim, earthy yellow light, which enveloped Ji Rong within it;
Ji Rong conjured the tree trunk, rolled up her storage ring, and poured out the extraterrestrial spirit crystals inside. After pouring out a pile, her brown roots, which emitted a pale golden light, probed into the crystals to absorb spiritual energy and then sent them into the Source Regeneration Pool.
Aside from those that were sent out and those that were destroyed, there were approximately eleven large mountains of extraterrestrial spirit crystals around the pool.
Ji Rong felt exhausted after drawing spiritual energy from only six mountains. She turned her head to the mountains and rivers and said, "I can't do it anymore. Let's stop here for today."
After saying that, she stretched her neck, drank several large mouthfuls from the Source Regeneration Pool, and then flapped her wings and flew to the jade to sleep.
Shan Shui quickly rolled up the spirit crystal slag along with the ground and put it into his storage ring.
After waking up, Ji Rong asked Shan Shui to put away the ten storage rings filled with extraterrestrial spirit crystals for later use, and then continued working.
This time, she continued until she had absorbed the last extraterrestrial spirit crystal before stopping.
All the work has been done; now all that's left is to wait for good news.
All Ji Rong needed to do was sleep well at night, eat well in the morning and evening, and sit upright on the throne of the sovereign as a mascot during the council.
Such days are comfortable, but boring.
After sitting for a while, Ji Rong couldn't help but wonder if the gods of the past also sat high on their thrones, looking down on all living beings, just like her.
Thinking this, she couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, thinking to herself that she was truly remarkable.
Another day passed, and after the last person in charge of the temple finished speaking and left, Ji Rong said to Shan Shui, Ze Peng, and Xiao Hua sitting next to Ze Peng in the temple: "Now we have found a way to solve the shortage of spirit crystals."
"After I ascend this time, you must find a way to increase the number of cultivators in the Nine Provinces; only then will there be miners in the outer heavens, and only then will there be truly new land."
"Procreation?" Xiao Hua asked, puzzled. "Master, isn't that something only cultivators who have no hope of achieving the Great Dao would do?"
In today's Kyushu, there are many cultivators and many different schools of thought and traditions.
Living beings no longer wish to reproduce; even cultivators who follow the path of compassion are unwilling to leave offspring, lest the presence of cubs hinder their cultivation journey.
Ji Rong nodded and said, "That's why I said you need to come up with a solution."
Just think about it, the Blue Eternal Realm alone is larger than the area we live in now. Who will cultivate those lands and spirit crystal mines?
"You can offer suggestions, such as dividing land or giving them treasure, as long as they are willing to have children."
Zepeng said, "Master, since you became the supreme ruler, the number of living beings has increased eightfold."
"With a smaller area, there will be more friction and many troublemakers. How about we gather them together and move them out to mine?"
Ji Rong nodded to him and said, "That's right, but nowadays, the Outer Heaven is a lawless place, so if we're going to move people, we have to move good people first."
Once Senior Brother Guangzhen and Junior Nephew Kesui have refined the pills to clear the blocked meridians, I will exchange them for the pill formula and then lead some weaker clans to the Outer Heavens.
We will build shelter for them, give them land, leave them enough spiritual veins and star maps; so that they can live a prosperous life there, and also have the hope and confidence to go out and explore.
As for those heinous criminals, since you all say there are countless beings in this world, then exterminate them here. Take them to Jade Void Palace or Sea Cliff Mountain, it will serve as a warning.”
Shan Shui nodded and said, "That's excellent."
————————
In the cave dwelling of the sect leader of the Li Dan Sect in the Mang Shen Mountains, there is a ten-foot-tall pill furnace. Qing Guangzi and Qing Qizi are inspecting the pills refined by Ke Sui.
Because Ji Rong brought back soil from various places and allowed Qing Guangzi's lineage to refine pills, Qing Guangzi felt proud and stopped competing with Qing Qizi.
This time, he personally brought Qingqizi and Shenlao to the Lidan Sect, where they used extraterrestrial spirit crystals, tasted pills, and evaluated their medicinal properties.
He Sui continued refining pills by the alchemy furnace. These pills only needed to solve the problem of meridian blockage caused by cultivators using extraterrestrial spirit crystals, and there were plenty of ready-made pills within the Nine Provinces.
What they need to do now is to improve upon the existing foundation.
Qingqizi and Shenlao had examined the soil that Ji Rong had brought down beforehand, and now, using these extraterrestrial spirit crystals, they soon found the source of the impurities contained within the spirit crystals.
It turns out that these spirit crystals all contain a trace of irreconcilable conflicting energy among the five elements. This energy will follow the spiritual energy into the cultivator's body like a thread and reside in the cultivator's spiritual platform.
At first, it's not a big problem, but over time, it will block the meridians.
In such cases, to achieve a complete cure, in addition to taking medicines to unblock the meridians daily, it is best to combine it with medicinal baths and cleansing the muscles and bones for better results.
Therefore, in addition to Qing Guangzi and He Sui continuously improving and refining five kinds of pills that could eliminate the side effects of using extraterrestrial spirit crystals, Qing Qizi and Shen Lao wrote down three medicinal bath formulas. These three medicinal bath formulas have the effects of cleansing the skin and strengthening the muscles and bones.
He then ordered the cultivators to quickly deliver the pills, prescriptions, and letters to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.
