Chapter 687 - 634: Tallying the Spoils (2,000 June Monthly Tickets Bonus)
Jiang Yuebai rushed over and pushed Bai Jiuyou aside, taking over to divide the spoils. It’s very necessary to win over the loyalty of the creatures. Otherwise, if they only listen to Bai Jiuyou, what will she do if she can’t command them in the future?
Bai Jiuyou pouted but said nothing.
The items collected by Yann Hongyu and the others this time were mostly spiritual medicine and ores. She claimed she found them, but in fact, it was Jixiang leading the mouse children, relying on the Treasure Hunting Rat’s talents to find them.
Jiang Yuebai glanced over them, noting that there weren’t many high-grade ones. The ores were allocated to Bai Jiuyou for artifact refining, and she kept rare kinds of spirit grass to plant later, as she had so many islands lying barren, which made her uncomfortable.
Just right, the spiritual ores Bai Jiuyou didn’t need could be used to refine planting puppets. Now, having learned the Zhuge Family’s new techniques, the efficiency of the planting puppets has greatly increased, fully capable of automating everything from opening land to planting, watering, fertilizing, and harvesting.
"You all actually found Black Orchid and Green Flower, which are two of the three main ingredients for refining the Blood Jade Pill. Not bad, not bad, there will be heavy rewards!
Jiang Yuebai picked out these two types of spirit plants and put them aside. The Blood Jade Meat Mushroom obtained earlier can be used to quickly refine Blood Jade Pills that enhance the cultivation of spiritual beasts. She was wondering where to find the three main ingredients, and here are two of them.
Leave some for seedlings, and once the other main ingredient is bought, a batch can be refined first for the mouse children, allowing them to upgrade faster.
The Blood Jade Meat Mushroom shares the characteristics of the Meat Ganoderma, as long as there is a small piece in hand, more can be continuously cultivated, despite the previous concern of lacking an extremely yin land.
In the current Lotus Platform Small World, there is an island with abundant Yin Qi, which is perfect for cultivating Blood Jade Meat Mushrooms.
The Blood Jade Meat Mushroom can be directly consumed by Ghost Dao Cultivators, and later it can also be given to Little Green, Yann Hongyu, and the hundred ghosts in the Netherworld Hundred Ghosts Painting to eat.
After refining into Blood Jade Pills, distribute them to the Jixiang Family, Hongye, two little grass dragons, and the little flower demons in the Lotus Platform Small World, as well as the mountain monkeys assisting with work.
Whether the Black Armor Bee Swarm and Dream Demon Thorn can consume them is still unknown, but they can be tried first.
Lieque is rather special, having no physical form, and usually consumes the Yin Yang Thunder Pearls refined by her for cultivation. The Blood Jade Pills probably won’t work for it.
Jiang Yuebai quickly allocated all the items, with none of them being complete magic treasures, mostly just fragments.
What remained was the map fragments of the Kunxi Secret Realm. Jiang Yuebai thought about leaving them in the Immortal Palace and, later on, having another chance to enter, so she kept the fragments for studying if there were any undiscovered parts.
Everyone was generally satisfied with Jiang Yuebai’s distribution. After being satiated, they each dispersed to handle their daily tasks.
The Lotus Platform Small World has changed dramatically, with so many islands awaiting development and construction, leaving endless tasks to be done.
Jiang Yuebai threw the Blood Jade Meat Mushroom and the Jade Scroll regarding it to Bai Jiuyou, then took the sacrificial altar and left without giving Bai Jiuyou a chance to speak.
Bai Jiuyou cursed from behind, but Jiang Yuebai darted to the top of the Old Rong Tree’s canopy, using her hair to connect to the trunk, urging the branches and green leaves to form a nest for herself.
Blowing in the wind, looking at the distant mountains and sea, she slowly tallied the main gains from this time.
The biggest gain this time was, of course, the Kunpeng Eye, which upgraded her Lotus Platform from Grotto Heaven to Small World and provided her with an opportunity to benefit from Immortal Monarch Chongmin.
There will certainly be more benefits waiting for her to uncover in the future.
Next were the Taiyin Tenuous Light and Sun Candlelight marks imprinted in her Sea of Consciousness due to comprehending the Yin Yang Path on the Heaven-Reaching Stairs.
This kind of mark belongs to a type of Refining God Technique. Jiang Yuebai felt there should be a corresponding method for it; otherwise, just contemplating it would not allow her to suppress the power within the marks, also making the enhancement of Divine Soul Power inefficient.
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the sacrificial altar placed nearby, noticing that parts of the ancient demon text included the Tenuous Light and Candlelight marks. Translating them later would reveal if they correspond to any method, so first, look at other items.
Jiang Yuebai spread out the items obtained one by one, including the Great Medicine refined by Xiong Yanhong, Xiong Yanhong’s storage ring, the Old Dragon Scale picked up by Hongye, the Qilin Blood given by Shen Mingjing, and the four magic treasures from the Heavenly Star Sect and Xiong Family’s cultivators.
Then there were the Michen Seal, the Sealing Jade Bottle containing the Water Spirit of One Yuan Heavy Water, and a Jade Scroll documenting dragon clan spells and murals of dragon species in the inner hall passages.
Jiang Yuebai first picked up the Michen Seal, which was significantly useful this time, helping her save a lot of Space Power. It’s a good treasure, and more importantly, it might still be a key to somewhere; it’s unknown if she’ll find where the Michen Seal originated.
Next was the Great Medicine refined by Xiong Yanhong, which she plans to absorb later upon returning to the Zhuge Family and advance to Mid-Stage Nascent Soul.
Then, infuse the Innate Water Spirit from the One Yuan Heavy Water into the Taihe Umbrella, refining it into a Spiritual Artifact.
With the support of One Yuan Heavy Water, each Feather in the Taihe Umbrella can bear immense power, greatly enhancing its might, and possibly leading to other changes.
The Qilin Blood is kept aside, and the four magic treasures—the Shadowless Array, Wind-Controlling Screen, Heaven-Covering Net, and Dongming Order—will all be refined later, just in case.
The Jade Scroll and Kunxi Divine Palace map belong to the Lotus Platform Small World’s study room. With its growing library, it’s time to build a library.
Xiong Yanhong’s storage ring cannot be opened as the old man placed many seals on it. Though he’s dead, the seals are hard to break and might explode, requiring time and effort.
What’s left is the Old Dragon Scale. Jiang Yuebai studied it in her hand for a long time, and combined with her understanding of the dragon clan, she felt it was a ’Reversed Scale’ from a type of dragon in Ancient Times.
With the reversed scale of a dragon, touching it means death.
Jiang Yuebai tried various methods to refine it, eventually using the Dragon Qi in her spine to successfully refine it. The reversed scale flew to the back of her neck, merging into her skin.
She also realized the use of the reversed scale, which is not just a piece of reversed scale, but a ’Reversed Scale Armor’ formed by thousands of reversed scales from the dragon clan.
Once activated, it transforms into Dragon Scale Armor that envelopes the body. It is inherently hard, comparable to a defensive Spiritual Artifact, and can counterattack when attacked, also triggering Dragon Fury, thereby continuously enhancing one’s power.
Jiang Yuebai felt this Reversed Scale Armor is a bit ’cheap’, growing stronger the more it’s beaten.
Shaking her head, Jiang Yuebai planned and organized all the items, took out some blank Jade Scrolls, and released three clones to surround the sacrificial altar, each taking a side to start translating and recording the texts on the four sides of the altar.
The sound of waves roared, the sea and sky appeared uniform, while Jiang Yuebai and the three clones translated until dusk, finally converting all the obscure texts on the altar into easily understandable words.
She put down the Jade Scroll and stretched her body, looking up to see the sunset half submerged, the sea surface shimmering with golden light, an enchanting scenery.
Finally, it was not just a void of darkness. Afterward, let Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi come in to watch the dusk by the sea and drink fine wine.
Letting down the stretched arms, Jiang Yuebai dissipated the three clones and gathered the Jade Scrolls, confirming the four sides of the altar indeed inscribed different cultivation techniques.
One written in Ancient Demon Text, "Beiming Fish,"
One inscribed in Human Clan Cloud Seal, "Carefree Travel,"
One in Demon Clan text, "Water Strike Three Thousand,"
One in Heavenly Witch Clan text, "Observing Yin Yang Method."
At first glance, these four cultivation methods, all created by Kunpeng, are meant for cultivation by humans, demons, and the Heavenly Witch Clan respectively.
Jiang Yuebai speculated that Kunpeng was surely a ’Sea Accepts All Rivers’ Demon Saint. In its era, all four clans sought the Dao within the Kunxi Divine Palace, and Kunpeng, according to its Dao, wrote these four cultivation techniques for the four clans.
However, these ancient era cultivation techniques need further verification to ensure they can still be cultivated smoothly today.
