Chapter 501 Blue Eternal Realm (1)
As the saying goes, prescriptions for elixirs are hard to come by, and miraculous medicines are even harder to find.
Fortunately, He Sui was used to refining cheap pills, and the materials needed for these five pill formulas were not difficult to obtain within the Nine Provinces.
Ji Rong instructed He Sui to refine a batch of pills according to the five pill formulas, and also ordered the Dragon and Phoenix Palace to collect hundreds of materials needed for the pill and medicine formulas, and to prepare various spiritual seeds for Ji Zhuang to try planting in the Blue Heng Realm.
In addition, she also had the Refining Sect refine a large number of storage rings for her. These storage rings did not need to be fancy, as long as they were large enough, could hold a lot, and could withstand the spatial oscillations within the inscription.
After packing up the supplies, Ji Rong sent a message to Qing Tanzi, asking him to select some unattached cultivators specializing in pills, medicines, arrays, and artifacts to accompany her to the Blue Eternal Realm.
These cultivators will remain outside the realm and participate in the excavation of extraterrestrial spirit crystals and the construction of the Blue Star Realm. Therefore, their cultivation level is irrelevant, because Qingpingzi will definitely teach them after they arrive at the Blue Star Realm.
When Qing Tanzi sent a message saying that the cultivators were ready, Ji Rong announced at the council meeting that she would be going into seclusion to study, then she packed her bags and flew towards Haiya Mountain under the cover of night.
Outside the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, only Shanshui led Zepeng and Xiaohua to see them off silently.
When cultivators return from the Outer Heavens again, these extraterrestrial spirit crystals will likely be able to circulate within the Nine Provinces Realm.

——Blue Eternal Realm——
After Ji Rong left, the cultivators lost their source of spiritual energy, so they began to try using extraterrestrial spirit crystals.
In just two months, Jiao Jue and Qing Pingzi discovered something unusual about Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang, and then they all switched to using the Source Flow.
Although Qingpingzi still had a formation token to return to, they were far from being at their wits' end, so they decided to wait for Ji Rong to return as agreed.
However, the source of the resource was ultimately limited, and Ji Rong's return was uncertain. In order to save resources, they stopped focusing on mining.
Ji Zhuang would drag Gu Qingqing around the seedling under the cover formation every day to watch it, and would also go out from time to time to turn the soil, build shelters and plant old spirit grains.
Qingpingzi was not idle either. He no longer had to work as a miner. Every day, he stood high in the sky, watching the scene of destruction intertwined in the sky.
Meanwhile, Jiaojue would dig at the spirit crystals idly, and once the spirit crystals piled up into a mountain, he would sleep on top of it, often for several months at a time.
Staying in one place for a long time can become boring.
Seeing that everyone was becoming listless, Qingpingzi led them around Lanheng Realm and recorded the scenery of the place.
Because of the constant disasters, the land in this Blue Eternal Realm is scattered in pieces, not connected to each other; sometimes there are raging floods and constant hurricanes between the lands; at other times they are dry and cracked, and scorched by raging fires.
There is no sun here, yet an extraordinary number of embers of fire have been preserved.
As Qingpingzi and his party flew over a deep, cracked abyss, they saw a flame suddenly burst forth from the abyss. The flame grew rapidly in the wind, and was then swept into the sky by a strong wind, flying into the distance and once again igniting patches of sea of fire.
When the wind came, the rain followed, and the torrential rain suppressed the flames and filled the ravines.
As Qingpingzi watched, he carefully counted the night watch and discovered that in just over ten days, the abyss had become a great river.
The river water eroded the soil on both banks, causing it to continuously crumble. They watched as many spirit crystal ores were carried away by the water and flowed into the distance; this time, they had no idea where they would end up.
As the great river rises, the fire beneath the riverbed gradually fades, seemingly extinguished yet not quite; as the rain washes over and a cool breeze rises, the hailstones in the sky fall again, once more for several days, the head-sized hailstones pelting the entire river, causing the water to overflow.
As the ice and snow melt, the surrounding temperature continues to drop, gradually forming a layer of ice on the river surface.
Fire, flood, and ice appeared simultaneously on this shattered realm. Amidst these calamities, the spirit grains that Ji Zhuang had sown were frozen to death, burned to ashes, and some were swept away by the rushing waters, their whereabouts unknown.
The spirit fruit seedlings hidden in the concealment formation only grew to an inch tall before gradually withering away.
Qingpingzi also looked at it together, and he shook his head regretfully at Ji Zhuang, saying, "Young friend Ji Zhuang, the soil and air here cannot provide the spiritual plants with normal spiritual energy."
It was able to sprout and grow into a seedling probably because my junior sister's precious tree used to stay here; now that it's dead, that's to be expected.
They witnessed a grand spectacle of water and fire colliding in the Blue Eternal Realm, a spectacle that lasted for thirty years before finally coming to a complete end.
In this play, Qingpingzi and Jiaojue saw the mystery of water and fire, life and death, being intertwined. The four little dragons of power even flew into the deep sky, entered the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and each had a hearty meal, their bellies swelling up.
Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang watched from the side, but they felt as if they were about to become a part of this world being molded by it.
Over the years, they had long since exhausted the spiritual food they brought. Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang longed to eat some spiritual fruits, grains, and meat, and drink some spiritual water to get rid of the earthy taste in their mouths.
When the second round of firelight was lit again, Ji Rong finally returned with the distracted Qing Tanzi and his group.
Arriving at the Blue Eternal Realm is the farthest distance Qing Tanzi has ever flown.
Along the way, she gazed at all kinds of glittering stars, becoming somewhat mesmerized, often remaining motionless in the void; she would look at this for a while, then at that, as if standing beside a fruit tree, wanting to pick the best fruit from the tree.
Later, Ji Rong noticed that her expression was really not right, so she flew over and shook her, saying, "Senior Sister Gaotan, important matters are more important."
Only then did the clear jar continue forward with Ji Rong.
Upon entering the Blue Star and meeting Qingpingzi and his group, Ji Rong gave each of them a string of storage rings from under their wings. Qingpingzi naturally refused, but Ji Rong insisted that this was the most convenient way to store spirit crystals, so Qingpingzi did not take them off.
After the monks had eaten their fill, Qingtanzi wanted to take his leave.
Remembering Qing Tanzi's infatuated expression, Ji Rong worried that she might lose control, so she said, "Senior Sister Gao Tan, I have heard that in the ancient times there were great cultivators who could refine an entire realm, turning everything within it, including living creatures, into their own private property, which could be carried around like a storage ring or a storage bag."
"Senior sister, look at all these extraterrestrial stars, so many of them, with countless mineral resources. Is it possible to find a way to achieve this?"
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts.
Qing Tanzi asked in surprise, "Junior Sister, the matter you described is like the creation of the world by the Mother Goddess; is there any other great deity besides Her who has accomplished this?"
Ji Rong immediately winked at Qing Pingzi and said, "Senior Brother Wanfa, you are knowledgeable and experienced, have you heard of this?"
Unexpectedly, Qingpingzi was so captivated by Ji Rong's words that she ignored her gaze and excitedly asked, "Junior Sister, where did you see such a powerful spatial technique that can be used by oneself?"
Qingpingzi didn't respond, so Ji Rong could only say with certainty, "What you're saying, Senior Brother, makes no sense. When I first said I was going to the Outer Heavens, you asked me if I was going to refine this world. Now you're asking me instead."
Qingpingzi was stunned for a moment by the question and could only say: "The kind of spatial artifact you mentioned, the original few ancestral gods who could evolve rules could probably do it, but I have never heard of it. I have heard of quite a few gods who merged with the Dao."
"Junior sister, are you saying this today because you have a method for constructing rules?"
