Mountain and Sea Realm, Floating Heavenly Palace.
Inside the main hall, Qi Yuntian was sitting behind a table, flipping through scrolls. Hundreds and thousands of jade scrolls were flying around him. Every moment, a scroll would fall, which would be carefully caught by a half-foot tall child. Then, he would hand it over to the guard outside the hall and send it out.
Qincang School now occupied thousands of times more land than before, and it was still expanding to the north. As the territory expanded, so did the number of disciples. Naturally, the number of things he had to deal with every day had increased. However, as the person in charge of the overall situation, the most important responsibility was to be in charge of the distribution of the various cultivation items. As long as this matter was done well, the four sides of the mountain would be balanced and smooth.
Outside the hall, a disciple walked in, bowed from afar, and said, "Hall Master, Zhenren Zhu requests an audience.
Qi Yuntian did not raise his head, and said, "Summon him up."
Not long after, a tall and beautiful young cultivator walked in, kowtowed, and said, "Disciple Zhu Yi greets Master."
Qi Yuntian said, "Stand up and talk." He put down the scroll in his hand, and looked over, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhu Yi said respectfully, "Master, there is some progress on the planted spirit shell." He took out a jade box, and said, "Master, please take a look."
Qi Yuntian waved his hand, and the jade box came to him. He opened the top cover, and saw 20 pieces of shell neatly placed inside. They were as thin as cicada wings, and sparkled like snow. They looked like they were between plants and living creatures. He picked one up, and with just a thought, it turned into a pure spiritual vigor and was absorbed into his dharma body. He said, "Is this the Blood Jade Spirit Shell that you mentioned?"
Zhu Yi said, "Yes. This item varies from person to person. Sensing spiritual vigor will turn into pure spiritual vigor, sensing blood Qi will give birth to blood power. With this item, you will no longer need to take blood medicine when exchanging with the four regions."
In the countries of the Eastern Wilderness, most of the people at the lower levels used barter, and most of the places used gold and bronze. Among the Mystic cultivators, blood medicine was the most expensive.
After the Nine Continents destroyed the Ming Clan and subdued the Heavenly Ghost Tribe, they had obtained quite a few of these things. However, after so many years, it was about to be used up. Although he could order the Heavenly Ghost Tribe that had surrendered to him to continue to collect more, because the cultivators of the Nine Continents absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the blood medicine was not of much use to them. Therefore, they could only use it to exchange with the hundred countries of the Eastern Wasteland and even the foreign tribes.
In the eyes of many sects, these blood medicines were always obtained for free. Even if they were used up, they only needed to inform the sect and there would be Heavenly Ghost servants to refine more for them. Thus, they did not take it seriously.
However, Zhu Yi didn't share the same sentiments. Virtually all of the surrendered Outsider tribes were refining blood stones. As far as he was concerned, the Nine Continents were expending a great deal of manpower and resources, only to gain very little in the end. In fact, the Mountain and Sea Realm savages were the ones benefiting the most. That was why, ten years ago, he had asked Qi Yuntian for permission to plant spirit shells in order to change the situation.
After looking at it, Qi Yuntian ordered an attendant in the hall, "Go down and summon a spirit guardian bird that cultivates in the Qi and Blood Magic."
The attendant responded, walked out of the main hall, and blew the jade whistle. Not long after, a green-eyed white eagle flew over, landed on the ground, and turned into a handsome boy. He bowed and said, "May I ask what instructions Master has for me?"
The attendant said, "Follow me into the hall."
As the spirit guardian bird, he was responsible for guarding the Floating Heavenly Palace every day. He knew the rules here, so he didn't dare to look up. He just knelt on the ground and waited for orders. After a while, he heard someone say, "Pick this up."
After a while, he heard a voice from above, "Pick this up." He raised his eyes slightly and saw something slowly falling down from above. It was a few pieces of jade shells and he went forward to catch it. The moment it entered his hand, he saw a thread of blood twisting in the shell. After a few breaths, the entire shell turned scarlet red, completely becoming a blood shell. He couldn't help but be startled.
Zhu Yi said from the side, "You can try to refine it."
White Eagle Boy hesitated for a while. Seeing that there were no other sounds in the hall, he activated his Qi and Blood Force. After a while, the blood shell turned into blood Qi and integrated into his body. He felt that his Qi and Blood Qi had a slight improvement, as if he had swallowed blood medicine in the past.
Zhu Yi smiled and bowed to the top again. He said, "Master, these blood shells are divided into five grades. The higher the grade, the more Qi and Spiritual Vigor it can contain. This jade shell in front of me is of the third grade. If it's the first grade spirit shell, Yuanying cultivators can also enjoy it."
Qi Yuntian saw it and asked, "How many shell farms have you opened up?"
Zhu Yi replied, "There are nine shell farms along the East Sea coast. They can collect more than two hundred thousand blood jade shells every month. However, as long as there is enough Spiritual Vigor and Blood Qi to irrigate, they can be produced continuously. We only lack manpower now."
Qi Yuntian nodded and said, "You've really put in a lot of effort."
Zhu Yi bowed and said, "I don't dare to take credit for it. It's because of the cooperation of fellow daoists from Clear Feather Sect and a few senior brothers who inherited from Taihao School. Just Now, I can plant them."
Qi Yuntian waved his sleeves and a talisman fell down. He said, "I'll transfer twenty heavenly ghost tribes with a population of ten million to you. Open up another thousand shell farms along the coast. If you do this well, I'll record it as a merit for you."
Zhu Yi said happily, "Thank you, Master."
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall. He looked back and saw a strong cultivator striding in. His expression turned solemn. He bowed and said, "Greetings, big senior brother."
Guan Yingyue nodded to him and then bowed to the seat. He said with a slightly excited tone, "Master, Just Now, there's a movement on the Tongtian Gui, and it's a message of victory."
Hearing this, Qi Yuntian's expression didn't change at all. He asked in a deep voice, "Can you confirm that it's from the Nine Continents?"
Guan Yingyue said, "I've checked repeatedly. The message sent by the spiritual message was indeed set by the Sect Master. Even if someone else obtained the Tongtian Gui, it's impossible for them to know about the change."
Qi Yuntian nodded. Since it was a message of victory, the result of this battle seemed to be without a doubt. However, as the person in charge, with thousands of disciples behind him, he wouldn't let his guard down just because of this.
He thought for a moment and said, "Although there's a movement on the Tongtian Gui, it'll be at least a few years before the Venerable Ones return. Inform this matter to the Zhenrens of the various mansions and order them to restrain their disciples and prepare to welcome them. But remember, don't let your guard down. If there's any change in the situation, you can escape as soon as possible."
Guan Yingyue solemnly said yes, bowed again, and went down to pass on the order.
In the clear blue sky, Liu Yanyi wore a plain white dress and tied her hair with a silver ring. She sat on a praying mat and smoke curled up from the incense burner in front of her. The clear and gentle water vapor around her rose and fell, running back and forth. There was a sound in the air, like water hitting a stone.
At this moment, a Supreme Sky Gui that was placed beside her suddenly shone with a bright light and rose to a height of ten feet. She opened her eyes wide and thought happily, Could it be that Master has sent a message back? She pressed her slender hand, and after a moment, she confirmed that it was indeed from her teacher. "Teacher will come in a few years, I'll tell this news to the Junior Brothers first."
Out of thin air, she condensed four flying letters with a few illusory points. With just a press, they turned into spiritual lights and flew in different directions.
At this moment, not only Qincang School, Shaoqing Sect, the Six Sects of Ling Sect also received the message that Zhu Zhen's trip was successful and that he would be returning soon. Once this news spread, the haze that had been pressing on the heads of the various sects since the Zhen's expedition to Jun Chen World disappeared.
After waiting for three years, the Heaven and Earth suddenly shook. Then, the Heaven and Earth Gate opened with a loud bang, and three majestic clear lights penetrated into the Heaven and Earth Gate from the Outer World. Then, they landed in the sky, and when the lights dispersed, Meng Zhide, Ying Chunqiu, and Xue Dingyuan walked out.
The three of them had low cultivation, so they first entered the world to appease the various sects. If they had come with Big Kun, it would probably take a few more years.
The three of them bowed to each other in the sky and after a few words, they went their separate ways and headed towards their own sects.
After Qi Yuntian sensed Daoist Meng's Qi activity, he ordered a group of people from the Heavenly Abode to wait in the sect while he brought the Protectors of the Upper Extreme Hall, Lv Junyang and Qin Nan out of the Upper Extreme Hall and rode the palace city towards Tian Zhong.
Not long after, he saw water vapor surging in front of him and rumbling like the Milky Way rushing over. He knew that his teacher had arrived and went forward to welcome him. He bowed from afar and said, "Disciple greets Teacher."
The water suddenly stopped and Meng Zhen appeared in front of him. He said, "Disciple, you may rise."
After the greeting, the three of them welcomed Meng Zhen into the palace. When they were seated, Qi Yuntian asked, "Teacher, when will Sect Master Spiritual Master and the other spiritual masters return?"
Meng Zhen said, "You don't have to worry. Even though this battle was dangerous, it was fortunate that the arrangements were made beforehand and no one died. Sect Master Spiritual Master, Sect Master Yue, and Hall Master Du Zhen all have profound cultivation. It will take a long time to pass through the realm pass and they will only return a few years later."
Qi Yuntian said, "So, the Jun Chen Realm is no longer a threat to me?"
Meng Zhen stroked his beard and said, "It's not wrong to say that. That Yuliangism Cult Master has been killed by us. Even though there are still a few Imperial Emperors left, the strength of the Nine Continents is enough to suppress them. We just need to wait for the True Essence Qi to recover and we can do this."
When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Now that the danger is over, we can call back those disciples who were sent to the Evil Realm."
Qi Yuntian said, "Teacher, disciple thinks that we can delay this matter."
Meng Zhen said, "Are you worried that there will be other changes?"
Qi Yuntian said, "It's not that. It's the message from the Two Realms Instrument. It said that cultivating in the Evil Realm, even though the cultivation progress is not fast, it can train the disciple's mind. Therefore, disciple thinks that this is not a bad thing. In the future, if possible, send more disciples to cultivate there."
The Evil Realm was not as rich in spiritual vigor as the Mountain and Sea Realm. One could absorb as much spiritual vigor as one wanted. The amount of spiritual vigor that one could absorb every day was extremely limited. Every mouthful had to be treasured and not a single bit could be lost. As for the rest, they could only use medicinal pills to make up for it. The disciples who cultivated there were very hard.
However, cultivating in such a harsh environment could also train people. Just like what he said, if one could persevere here, it was the same as tempering one's spirit and willpower. It would be very beneficial to one's future cultivation.
Meng Zhen thought about it and nodded subconsciously. He said, "Then let's do this for now. As for your suggestion, it won't be too late to talk about it after the enemies of the Jun Chen Realm are dealt with."
