Chapter Thirty Return to the Mountain
After leaving home, Lu Yuan wandered around again.
The territory of Great Jin is quite vast.
The province of Dongping alone is hundreds of millions of miles in size, and the Great Jin Dynasty has dozens of provinces, which can be seen from the vastness and unimaginability of this land. The entire Great Jin Dynasty is probably tens of billions of miles in size. Lu Yuan bought a horse and wandered idly in Dongping Province, but at this time, Dongping Province, as well as the entire Great Jin Dynasty, were all in a state of peace and prosperity.
The entrances of the underground world and the ground world are guarded by people from the Five Great Fairy Gates and other fairy gates.
The Great Jin Dynasty has no underground demons, and it is naturally extremely peaceful.
In Dongping Province, I strolled around for a while and didn't encounter any more demons causing trouble. Instead, I stumbled upon something called the Wulin Conference, which was supposedly organized by skilled martial artists from the Jianghu. The Jianghu is said to be a place where people with nothing better to do go. Lu Yuan acknowledged that he was quite idle, but not to the point of being bored out of his mind. So, after strolling around Dongping Province for a while and checking the time, it had almost been half a year.
It's time to return to the mountain.
Of course, now thinking of returning to the mountain, there is another reason, which is that after killing the Shura and searching for spoils of war, the Lingpai searched and obtained three precious cloud system spirit beasts, which far exceeded his expectations. The cloud system spirit beast can continuously spit out cloud system yuanqi, making people's cultivation speed much faster.
Since then, without having to specifically go practice meditation, the speed of improvement in spiritual power is also quite good.
However, cloud spirit beasts also need to be fed.
Of course, this feeding is quite valuable, in terms of a quantitative comparison, specifically, one can get about three times the amount.
Such feeding, of course, is not reluctant.
Lu Yuan also naturally gave up.
Know when to let go and know when to hold on.
Now, I don't have any low-grade spirit stones on hand, what a tragedy. But coincidentally, it's time to feed again. Due to the long period of not feeding, the yuan energy from the seal spirit plate that has entered my body has decreased somewhat.
Who would have thought that the twenty-two low-grade spirit stones obtained from the battle against the Asura would be used up so quickly, otherwise there would still be some left now.
For the sake of the inferior spiritual stone, I can only return to the mountain myself.
The mountain is still the same mountain.
Mount Hua
Mount Hua of Ten Thousand Feet
A mountain of a thousand feet high, is not what humans can imagine, it almost covers the sky, people on the ground look up and see the sky as if it has been split in two, the majesty of the mountain, towering, almost unimaginable. This mountain range was born with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the yuanqi above is dense, far beyond what can be compared outside.
Although it cannot be called a grotto heaven, it can be called a blessed land, which is almost the same.
This blessed land is occupied by Dashanmen, which is also reasonable.
Finally back, looking at the towering mountain range in front of him that almost splits the sky in half, Lu Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. Arriving at Mount Hua's Immortal Gate, there were layers of restrictions outside, with seven-colored aurora lights making it impossible to force one's way through. Lu Yuan reported his name from outside and after verification, he finally returned smoothly to the Immortal Gate of Mount Hua.
——————
After returning home, there are still many things to be done.
First, I went to ask Master how he was doing. Half a year after leaving the mountain, Master's complexion had become even paler, and a hint of death energy faintly emanated from him. As one of the Six Sword Sages of North Peak, Master possessed unparalleled martial power, yet even someone like him couldn't conceal his aging, with his lifespan dwindling by the day.
Lu Yuan sighed inwardly and chatted casually with his master for a few sentences. Li Yuanbai asked about life after descending the mountain, and listened to Lu Yuan's experience in killing Shura, nodding and smiling on the side. With such cultivation, he had killed countless powerful Shuras, even comparable to those of the Practicing Body period, and had personally beheaded them. A mere Shura would naturally not be taken seriously by him.
He simply listened to his disciples' stories, heard that they won, and then felt extremely happy, that's all.
The closer he is to his death, the more he values relationships. Now, his master-disciple relationship with Lu Yuan has become similar to a familial bond.
Afterwards, Lu Yuan went to the Department of Internal Affairs and took ten spirit stones before heading back to his own bedroom.
The bedroom is still so simple.
A bed, a chair, a table.
On the wall, a flying sword was hanging. The hilt of the flying sword was slightly red, and the scabbard was ancient. It was indeed the Long Hong Sword, which had been won from Sima Bo in the North Peak Grand Assembly. He also took off his own Nourishing Me Sword, which he always carried with him, and hung it on the wall. Ah, it still felt comfortable to sleep in this nest of six years.
Lying on the bed for a while, after regaining the feeling of being in bed, he got up and turned over. It was time to feed the cloud spirit beasts in the sealed spirit plate. He picked up a low-grade spirit stone in his hand, pinched a spell, "All laws return to one, seal spirits return to prohibition, seal spirit plate, enter", and entered the grassland world inside the seal spirit plate, also pinching a low-grade spirit stone in his hand. As soon as he entered, he found that the three spirit beasts inside the seal spirit plate were all happily pouncing towards him, those three cloud rabbits were extremely happy to pounce over.
In this world, bribery is indeed the way to go. Before I didn't bring any spirit stones in, these three spirit beasts wouldn't even bother with me, but now they're so enthusiastic and proactive.
Before Lu Yuan could react, the three cloud rabbits had already swallowed the inferior spirit stone. After swallowing the spirit stone, they stared at him with pitiful eyes.
No way, I'm out of here again.
This time when he went back, he brought out two pieces of inferior spirit stones. These two pieces of inferior spirit stones made the fire dog and three cloud rabbits eat with great relish, and they were extremely pleased. The fire dog and three cloud rabbits, who had been indifferent to him at first, were now affectionately rubbing against his side. The three cloud rabbits were especially adorable, rubbing against his feet while rolling around on the ground, their bellies round and full, seemingly no longer in need of feeding, looking like they had eaten their fill.
After this trip, back to the outside of the Sealing Spirit Tablet, consciousness returned to the physical body, and immediately felt the cloud system's spiritual power transmitted from the Sealing Spirit Tablet, which had restored its original level. After roughly calculating the loss of low-grade spirit stones, compared with the received cloud system yuanqi, this transaction was quite a good deal.
It's only natural that when cultivators absorb the spiritual energy from spirit stones, they need to convert it into their own magical powers, and this conversion process results in losses.
The Ling beasts, on the other hand, are 100% transformed, without any loss to speak of. Moreover, since the Yun beast itself contains the primordial energy of this lineage, it will naturally reveal some of it.
In this way, naturally, raising a spiritual beast is basically the most worthwhile deal.
Lu Yuan sank into a deep sleep with his head on the spirit tablet.
The familiar little house I've lived in for over six years, sleeping is especially comfortable.
