Master of Strange Dao

It's really a pity.

He sent many treasures, but he didn't want any of them and insisted on trading as agreed.

The Old Dragon King felt a bit conflicted inside.

On one hand, he felt sincerity was a good thing, and it could lead to deeper connections.

On the other hand, he thought this person was simply mad, refusing the benefits handed to him.

With mixed feelings, the Old Dragon King took the Dragon Women and returned to the deep sea.

On August 15th, the day of the year when the Bright Moon is the furthest, largest, and most powerful.

The Dragon Clan prepared the sacrificial altar for the annual festival.

Not only the Dragon Clan, but other Sea Clans, Demon Clans, and even the Demon Clans on land were quieter on this night.

Either absorbing the strongest and purest moonlight of the year, or having a moon ritual if the group was large in numbers.

The Dragon Clan's moon festival was held every year, with an additional procedure this year.

Two pitch-black Bull Devil Eyes had been forged into two magical treasures, like two moons radiating moonlight.

On the sacrificial altar, the two Bull Devil Eyes transformed into a bright moon, dissolving under the brilliant moonlight, slowly merging into one to form a full moon.

The moonlight merged with the moonlight from the Bright Moon in the sky, unnoticed by anyone, a strand of moonlight soared upwards towards the Bright Moon.

Under the strongest moonlight of the year, no one could distinguish the same rooted yet differently directed forces.

A Bull Devil Eye, transformed into a bright moon, disappeared within the Bright Moon.

On the surface, everything seemed unchanged.

Inside the Crystal Palace, a Bull Devil Eye, transformed into a bright moon, quietly floated there, as the Dragon Women recited ancient spells facing the bright moon.

Moments later, a deep sigh echoed in the Dragon Women's mind.

...

Yu Ziqing returned to Jinlan Mountain, reaching the southwest corner, and took out the newly acquired Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

He separated half of it and gave it to Juice.

This thing is most suitable for planting Immortal Herbs.

As for other uses, Yu Ziqing doesn't need them for now.

He neither practiced Qi Refinement nor used it to forge magical treasures.

Assisting Body Refinement or cultivating Earth Element Dharma Methods, no matter how extravagant, doesn't require much, a little as a catalyst is enough.

Juice found a new place to root, and a halo began to swirl on the previously unchanged leaves.

"I'm just idle here, so I'll continue to tell you some other things.

Today, let's talk about things related to the moon.

It's said that, on the moon..."

Juice's condition improved increasingly.

Nine Heavens Breath Soil is the best soil, and the stories Yu Ziqing narrated were the best fertilizer.

Everything was nurturing Juice to thrive, after nine blooms, another life begins.

After narrating the moon story to Juice, Yu Ziqing prepared to leave, only to see all the Magic Plants around eagerly waiting.

Snakes hanging from the Snake Willow looked at Yu Ziqing with pitiful eyes, as if close to starving.

Yu Ziqing sighed and took out some beef, feeding a bit to each Magic Plant.

"Your tastes are becoming more picky, this won't do.

This time it's just a taste, next time there won't be any, this is already the last Big Bull Devil in the world.

Once it's eaten, there really is no more.

In the future, don't be picky with food, being picky on Jinlan Mountain will get you beaten to death."

Many snakeheads on the Snake Willow nodded repeatedly, eating while forcing out a few snakeheads to hiss at other Magic Plants, saying something unknown.

Judging by the reluctant looks of other Magic Plants, it was definitely not good words.

After feeding the Magic Plants, each swollen with the strength of the beef, Yu Ziqing finally rid himself of these creatures.

Thinking of the Bloodthirsty Devil Flower in the Abyss, how domineering it was, having dignity, refusing free food.

His Magic Plants had all become lazy weaklings, with open mouths waiting to be fed.

And even exhibiting picky eating tendencies.

If spread, who would believe Magic Plants would turn out like this?

True Magic Plants should accept anything, eat meat if there's meat, eat bugs if there are bugs, devour rats if there are rats, extract nutrients from feces, while taking nutrients from passing northwest winds.

False Magic Plants would show picky eating tendencies.

If they're picky again, he will starve these creatures for a few years.

After Yu Ziqing left, each Magic Plant was full, lazying around, while the snakeheads on the Snake Willow were busy pushing each other away.

Juice, wrapped by Nine Heavens Breath Soil, swirled with halos, slowly absorbing Yu Ziqing's narrated story.

The story began to settle in the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, imprinting onto it.

Yu Ziqing's understanding of Nine Heavens Breath Soil was solely that it was better than Five-Colored Soil and definitely good for his Immortal Herbs.

Besides that, it was used to forge certain best magical treasures, nothing more.

Regarding the trade with the Dragon Women, he didn't care at all about what treasures he exchanged.

He just wanted to see who had treasures of such caliber.

The Bull Devil Eyes fell into his hands without much use, he even asked No.4 White Water Egg specifically if they could replace the Shadow Devil's eyes.

After confirming they couldn't, Yu Ziqing had no worries about it.

Returning to the village, the unknown changes began to take form.

The moon story he narrated was from nowhere, stories nonexistent in this world.
