Chapter 312 Amassing Wealth (2)
After settling Juejun in, Qingdongzi summoned his disciples and grand-disciples overnight to ask for their thoughts.
Despite the large number of noisy disciples and grand-disciples on ordinary days, only the second disciple, Jiu Feng, who had cultivated to the Emperor Realm and was skilled in illusion arrays, and the fifth disciple, Tu Wei, who had cultivated to the King Realm and was skilled in trap formations, were still clamoring to go out.
However, the fifth disciple, Tsuchio, was usually a guy who was obsessed with array formations, only knew how to draw arrays, and was clueless about practical matters.
This guy, Jiu Feng, always has a stern face and speaks too bluntly, so he's not very likable either.
If they were to go out alone, it's possible that none of the cultivators outside would be willing to listen to them.
Qing Dongzi's heart had already been stirred by Ji Rong, and he thought to himself, "In that case, I will accompany you on this trip."
The Danxue Mountains are rich in mineral deposits; any good-for-nothing rats should be sent to mine them.
So, the next day, Qing Dongzi hosted a banquet for Jue Jun in Zhen Valley and invited Ji Rong to accompany him.
The dragon and the rat each had their own desires, and amidst the clinking of glasses, they indeed chatted happily, and before long, they were engrossed in discussing everything under the sun.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Ji Rong said from the side, "Senior brother, the original form of my Guardian Palace is the Linglong Palace. It can be large or small, but if you need to move around easily, you have to take out everything inside."
"Senior brother, do you have any cultivators under your command who can carve the Guardian Palace into a truly portable treasure?"
Qing Dongzi said with a smile, "Junior sister, if you have important items, just put them in your storage ring. There's no need to take the entire palace with you."
Ji Rong raised her neck, grinned, revealing a set of sharp teeth, and said, "This time, I also want to stay in the Danxue Mountains for a while, but I have always had a habit of carrying my belongings with me. If the Shoudao Palace does not move, I will not be able to stay for long, and I will definitely be worried and have to go back."
Furthermore, if we had our own portable cave dwellings, we could settle down anywhere; where wouldn't that be a place for spiritual practice?
Should he carry his cave dwelling with him? Qing Dongzi thought for a moment, then summoned his grand-disciple, the Venerable Realm snail cultivator Vortex.
Vortex is the disciple of Qing Dongzi's third disciple, She Shu, a cultivator at the Emperor Realm who is trapped in a formation. She Shu herself is a snake and insect, so she likes to take snakes and insects as her disciples.
This vortex was something she picked up from the Ganoderma lucidum field when she went to the medicine shop to help set up the formation. There were a total of nineteen snails, and only this one had gained intelligence, which was quite rare.
After that, She Shu named this vortex, kept it by her side to practice trapping formations, nurtured it to the Profound Spirit Realm, and then took it as her disciple.
However, Zhenlou never thought of Vortex when it came to tasks, not because he thought Vortex's cultivation level was too low, but because Vortex was too slow at working.
She Shu took over the Jade Void Palace mountain range formation from Qing Guanzi. She brought eight of the ten disciples with her, but left only the Vortex and Lazy Snake Poison Eye to her master, Qing Dongzi, saying that she wanted her master to give these two clumsy and lazy cultivators, who had no flesh on their bodies, a bite to eat.
Qing Dongzi, facing the vortex that was almost worn out from carving its own little house, took out a leather scroll and placed it on the vortex's back, saying, "Your clan's cultivation is difficult to increase, but if you grow up, each one of you will be a world-shaking and ancient-level great cultivator."
You're in charge of this mobile array project. Just tell me what materials you need, and I'll provide them without charging you.
Kiyohime is usually a bit unreliable, but she always has some clever ideas. She's generous and easy to get along with, so she probably won't mind if you're slow. If she gives you something, just accept it and keep it.
Go to Shoudao Mountain now and set up an array for her Shoudao Palace so she can move the Linglong Palace around. Return whenever you're finished.
Upon hearing this, Whirlpool happily shook its antennae at Qingdongzi. Then, it put away the scroll on its shell and slowly said, "Grandmaster, can I... let Poison Eye... go with me?"
Qing Dongzi, upon hearing that it was the black-skinned snake that clearly had the talent to cultivate trapping formations but was too lazy to sleep in the soil every day and was only at the Profound Spirit Realm, shouted angrily, "Take her away and let her hang herself in your Grandmaster Qing Jizi's Guardian Palace. She doesn't need to come back again."
The vortex slowly materialized into a celestial form, respectfully bowed to Qing Dongzi, and then slowly walked out carrying the shell. He found Poison Eye outside Qing Dongzi's cave and said, "Poison Eye, Junior Sister, Grandmaster told us to go to Shoudao Mountain to build an array for Qing Jizi, Grandmaster Uncle. He told you not to come back. Let's go."
Poison Eyes half-opened her eyes and said, "What's the rush?" Then she used her tail to create a vortex and swam towards Shoudao Mountain. Although the speed was not fast, at least she was walking normally.
Halfway there, Poison Eye suddenly put down the vortex and said, "What did you just say? Grandmaster told me not to come back?"
The vortex lowered its head slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes."
"It's over." Poison Eye sighed, "We've been kicked out. If I had known, I would have held back and done something for our master."
Vortex shook its head and said, "Grandmaster only said that you should not come back, and that if I wanted materials, I should just tell him. He also gave me the array diagram." As it spoke, Vortex stretched out a tentacle and rolled out the leather scroll.
Poison Eye took the array diagram, shook his head in frustration, and said, "You don't understand. That's what the Ancient Lin Pill Saint said to the Pill Demon Emperor in the past."
The vortex nodded its tentacles as if it understood, then looked at its bewildered senior brother with its poisonous eyes, sighed, and swam quickly toward the Guardian Palace.
When they arrived at Shoudao Palace, they realized they had forgotten to ask Qingdongzi for a communication talisman, so they couldn't get through the mountain gate.
So they waited and waited until Ji Rong returned from Zhen Valley, and then they stopped waiting.
Whirlwind spoke slowly, and Ji Rong finally managed to tell that they were from Zhen Valley. After confirming their identities with the inscriptions, she ordered the two of them to do some work.
So, before these two array cultivators even saw the palace where they were to set up the array, Ji Rong, the master of the house, summoned them to work as laborers and porters at the Blood Pill Workshop.
Ji Rong led the two of them through the Blood Pill Workshop, picking and choosing until his back was full, before heading back towards the Guardian Palace. When they reached the foot of Guardian Mountain, Ji Rong asked, "What do you want with me?"
The vortex spoke slowly, "Grandmaster said, let us... give you... the... Guardian Palace..."
"Stop!" Ji Rong interrupted the vortex, looking at Poison Eye and said, "He's speaking too slowly, you speak first."
Poison Eye then spoke up: "The master asked us to set up a mobile lifting formation for you, free of charge, please take us in."
"No..." Whirlpool was very anxious when he heard Poison Eye say this, but before he could speak, Poison Eye's tail swept across his face, and he hurriedly shrank his head into his shell.
Poison Eye then used her tail to lift the vortex, transforming into a half-beast. She placed the spirit fruits and materials in the spirit linen bags on her shoulder and said, "Grandmaster Qing Jizi, let's go."
Seeing how capable Poison Eye was, Ji Rong nodded and said, "Let's go."
Back at the Guardian Palace, Poison Eye placed the Vortex on the ground and gently tapped its shell with its tail, saying, "We're here. Come out and get to work."
