NOVEL NEXT Chapter 427: Someone has a cave!
"I found it!" Yun Mo, more confident in cultivation after acquiring the "Five Elements Thunder Technique," eagerly flapped his wings and answered, "Upon returning, I immediately noticed that the Spiritual Energy at home is even denser than during the day in Carefree City above the Wilderness!"
Hu Zhile smiled and directed his gaze toward the drifting cloud cherry blossom in the living room, softly saying, "Where did the Venerable Family acquire this bonsai? It's beautiful and can gather Spiritual Energy, truly a treasure."
Yun Shu, who can't cultivate, wasn't very interested in the density of Spiritual Energy, but her eyes lit up when she caught sight of the beautiful flowers. "I've seen this kind of flower somewhere before..."
She paused and hesitantly said, "Much larger than this, like a small mountain... The pink blossoms look like clouds..."
"A tree like a small mountain?" Wan Mingchuan chuckled upon hearing this: "If there really were such a tree, we could build our entire small courtyard on it!"
With a slightly bewildered gaze, Yun Shu blinked and reverted to her puppet state, sincerely saying, "The Teacher is skilled at planting and cultivating. Maybe in two or three hundred years, he can truly grow this small potted plant into a towering tree."
The group was chatting excitedly around the drifting cloud cherry blossom when the door was pushed open. Bai Yunqi, with an unconcealable joy on his face, strode in and bowed to Jiang Yuan, "Thanks to the Venerable Family's favor and Elder Zhou's careful guidance, I have completed the full version of the Devouring Technique's Heart Method!"
"That's wonderful!" Jiang Yuan was pleased as the goodwill surged.
The courtyard members are finally all gathered together... No wait, someone is missing.
With a thought, he entered the mist bounds instance to find the bluebird who was chopping trees, "Come on, let's go home for a reunion dinner."
Why have a reunion dinner now?
The bluebird, usually indifferent to interpersonal relations, didn't understand, but it's not every day one gets to eat the top-notch delicacies cooked by her brother's own hands. As long as it's not a banquet at a hostile gathering, it's fine.
The two left the instance and flashed back to the living room, where she immediately saw the others admiring the drifting cloud cherry blossom. She raised her little head proudly and said, "My brother says that when conditions allow, we can place a similar bonsai or vase in every room. So, for now, I'll be in charge of guarding this pot of drifting cloud cherry blossom!"
"But, Aunt..." Wan Mingchuan scratched his head, looking perplexed, "The Spiritual Energy gathered by the drifting cloud cherry is shared, there's not much difference between guarding it and staying in the bedroom."
Much like the Furong Spirit Pool, Dragon Brother's Spirit Pool, and Big Brother Mo's tree house, they enhance the overall density of Spiritual Energy in the small courtyard, whether you guard them or not.
The bluebird blushed slightly, pouted, and stomped her little foot, "Humph! I just enjoy it! Guarding the pretty flowers and seeing Spiritual Energy flowing like clouds and mist makes me happy!"
The others nodded in agreement, though the Spiritual Energy is shared, there's not much difference between staying in the Spirit Pool and the farm field, it's just the feeling of possession and abundance they love!
"Were there any other changes in the rush to enter?" Jiang Yuan smiled and waved, "Let's go out and take a look, there's a surprise waiting."
Gathering together, they left the room and Hu Zhile immediately locked eyes on the light purple shiny little mountain decoration under the tree house, emitting dense Spiritual Energy, "Venerable Family, what is that? Amethyst?"
"It's a gift for you, go see if you like it."
"A gift for me?!" The happiness was too sudden for her to react, and she repeated the question before rushing forward eagerly, only to find something hidden within. "Venerable Family, can I go down?"
Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile, "Certainly, go down and see, if you like it, the Linglong Cave will be your residence."
"Thank you, Venerable Family!" Without seeing what's below, Hu Zhile first bowed and thanked.
She knew that when the Venerable Family made a move, it would definitely be a treasure beyond her imagination, she made her way quickly into the cave, breathing in the dense Spiritual Energy, her long narrow eyes somewhat lost, not knowing where to look.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Yun Shu followed closely behind, her eyes caught by the exquisite stone flowers and stalagmites, colors vivid and dreamlike.
Wan Mingchuan bounced in, exclaiming, "Master, you dug out such a large place underground? That must've been exhausting! Why didn't you call us back to help?"
"Fool!" Bai Yunqi lightly flicked his forehead, "Do you think this can be done with manpower?"
"The Teacher is so thoughtful. Elder Hu loves living in caves, such a large, beautiful cave is perfect for her."
The bluebird, having been quiet, gazed around enviously, her eyes turning red.
A moment ago, she was proud of getting the drifting cloud cherry blossom, but now she was completely deflated. What does the cherry blossom matter? Look at what others have! They've got a lush cave!
"Brother~" She went over to tug on Jiang Yuan's sleeve, acting coquettishly, "You are the best! You're the greatest good person ever! Brother~ my good brother~ I want one too~"
Jiang Yuan laughed and pulled back his sleeve, "There has to be a priority, even if there's another great residence, it has to go first to my disciple, then to Yun Shu, so you'll have to wait patiently."
"Brother~ good brother~" The bluebird looked at the white snake with the Spirit Pool, the big bird with the tree house, and the fox with the Linglong Cave, thinking about the two people ahead in line made her anxious but she couldn't say anything else, so she just clung to his sleeve unwilling to let go.
Wan Mingchuan was fairly satisfied after touring around and seeing the little girl clinging to the master without letting go, he laughed and said, "Anyway, it's the same for me wherever I live, Aunt is eager, let's arrange for Yun Shu first and then her.
I've always been comfortable in my room, don't bother with the switching."
The bluebird's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Mingchuan, you're so nice! Truly the best disciple taught by the best person, Aunt won't let you suffer!"
She let go wanting to offer something of value, but her mind was empty, and her storage bag given by her brother seemed a bit sparse. She could only promise, "Wait until I advance in Realm, I definitely won't let you down!"
Yun Shu paused, then questioned, "Teacher will arrange a residence for me too? Actually, there's no need, I can rest anywhere, and I've pretty much explored Cloud City these days, once the shop opens, I'll go there."
"Then... can I move ahead of you?" The bluebird saw hope, hurriedly gesturing, "I won't move up the line for nothing! You're a puppet needing Immortal Jade for all actions and rest, right?
I vaguely remember a treasure that can free you from the shackles of Immortal Jade, allowing you to absorb Spiritual Power independently like a Cultivator. However, my Realm is too low now, I can't remember what it is or where to get it, so let me move up the queue and I'll help solve the shackles for you, alright?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan and Yun Shu both widened their eyes.
"Is that true?"
"Absolutely guaranteed!" The bluebird stood up straight, patting her chest confidently, "Give me some time, I'll definitely remember! Brother~ good brother... Mingchuan and Yun Shu have agreed to let me move up, can you arrange for me first?"
