Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 115 The Dual Plan, Moon Lord's Gift

The spirits of the Yin Earth Vein in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm are not very old, and are far inferior to the Earth Yang Serpent Lord in the Great Sun Spirit Realm.

However, the previous spirit of the Earth Yin Vein was particularly ancient. Not only had it submitted to the City God Temple before the current Heavenly Emperor's calendar, but it had also built such a massive palace underground.

"This palace was modeled after the Moon Palace of the Moon Star. It took more than two thousand years of effort from our predecessors to complete, and it has countless secret passages leading to various parts of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm..."

As he said this, the fat, monk-like elf pointed to a spot not far away and led the way, flying over there.

Since the Bright Moon Spirit Realm was not large to begin with, and the scale on the ground was further reduced underground, Su Ji and Mo Linglong only flew less than a thousand feet with the fat cultivator before they began to head towards the surface along the underground cave.

Yan Tianchou immediately came up with some analysis results: "The entire underground of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm is centered around the palace, forming a huge formation. Each cave is the earth yin root of the huge palace. By simply mobilizing the power of the earth yin spiritual veins, the power of all the earth yin roots can be activated."

"These earth roots may only occupy one ten-thousandth of the volume of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, but they are spread throughout the entire Bright Moon Spirit Realm. Perhaps every few dozen feet there is a root that serves as a node in the array."

"Wherever the spirit of the Earth Yin Vein goes, that is its domain. Unless the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm intervenes, even if all the gods of the City God Temple came here, it would be difficult to subdue the spirit of the Earth Yin Vein in a short time..."

The Earth Yang Serpent Lord of the Great Sun Spirit Realm existed for a shorter period of time, spending most of his life on the Earth Yang Reservoir. His mastery of the Great Sun Spirit Realm was limited to the new and old Earth Yang Spirit Veins.

The previous generation of spirits in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm submitted to the City God Temple early on. They not only used the power of the City God Temple to build palaces, but also constructed such a huge underground formation, which is simply an impregnable war fortress.

While Su Ji was shocked, he couldn't help but feel a bit doubtful: "The emperors fought for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor 352 years ago, and the previous generation of Earthly Spirits was severely injured as a result. Could it be that the battlefield was not in the City God Temple Underworld, but outside the city..."

If the battlefield were in the City God Temple Underworld, the Earthly Spirits would be virtually invincible, relying on the massive formation centered around the Bright Moon Spirit Realm Underground Palace.

"Or perhaps, the Earth Spirits were thwarted by the gods?" Su Ji shook his head, not wanting to speculate any further.

He had too little information about that imperial struggle back then, and thinking too much about it would only do him no good.

Soon, the three of them found themselves with nowhere to go. The fat elf cultivator simply pushed the stone wall, and it seemed to come alive, opening up a gap on its own.

Mo Linglong's eyes lit up. Such a method could change things in nature; it was truly miraculous.

Of course, the mechanisms in Thousand Changes Town are equally mysterious.

Earth spirits manipulate earth and stone using the power of the earth's spiritual veins, while mechanical sorcerers manipulate real objects using the power of magical artifacts. What they have in common is the skillful use of formations...

The new cave was incredibly deep, and after walking for a while, a faint ray of moonlight shone down.

The plump elf monk stopped abruptly, then gestured, "Please, gentlemen!"

Su Ji smiled and expressed his gratitude, while Mo Linglong nodded slightly and followed Su Ji and the paper-figure scholar.

Suddenly, a vast expanse opened up before them. There was no crescent moon in the sky; instead, a huge, upside-down world was hidden behind the floating clouds.

The vast world in the sky is a replica of reality. Although it is night, it is brightly lit everywhere. Here, as long as there is enough incense and prayer, one's wishes can be fulfilled, without pain or trouble...

"The Homeland Without Birth!"

When Su Jigang was serving as a wandering spirit soldier, he had already heard of the name of Wusheng's hometown.

"No birth" means the absence of living beings. The Earth Yin Spirit of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm and the Earth Yang Serpent Lord of the Great Sun Spirit Realm are both born from transformation, and thus can also be considered as "no birth".

While the physical body of a person is subject to birth and death, the soul, as long as it is not fatally injured, can continue to be reincarnated, which can be considered another kind of immortality.

Immediately, Su Ji's gaze fell upon the floating clouds, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"So this is where the earth mica was!"

The side of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm facing the Taiyin is quite cold; even if there is moisture, it condenses into water droplets, and not even floating clouds can be seen in the sky.

The back of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm is Wusheng's hometown. Not only does it face away from the Taiyin Star, but it also allows one to see the "lights" of Wusheng's hometown. The "temperature" is naturally higher, and the water vapor and earth yin energy rise up, turning into floating clouds.

However, the fat, cultivator-like elf laughed and said, "Although there are floating clouds formed from the Yin energy of the earth here, there is a lack of the heavenly energy. If you want to collect the Yin Cloud Mother, you need to drive the floating clouds to the front of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm."

The Bright Moon Spirit Realm also has a window to the outside world, so even if the weather contains the light of the moon and the energy of the heavens, it can slowly absorb some of it.

The drawback is that it is too slow. By the time you reach the back side of the Earth Yin Spirit Realm, the concentration of the weather is not even enough to form Earth Yin Mica.

Su Ji's heart skipped a beat, and then he revealed a knowing smile.

Although he performed flawlessly in the illusion, he saw the spirit of the Earth Yin Vein and entered the Earth Yin Vein.

However, this alone is not enough to obtain the generous gifts from the spirits of the Earth Yin Vein.

The spiritual essence of those three earth yin veins alone contains 1,080 strands, worth 10,080 strands of divine power.

In other words, Su Ji had a great adventure in the Great Sun Spirit Realm. Otherwise, given his previous treasure-hunting progress, he probably wouldn't have been able to gather enough treasures with three thousand strands of divine power even after seven days.

Not to mention, the Earth Yin Spirit Essence is a treasure upon which the spirits of the Earth Yin Spirit Vein rely for growth, so being able to produce three portions is already quite astonishing.

As for the Earth Yang Spiritual Essence of the Great Sun Spiritual Realm, it was produced when the Earth Yang Serpent Lord was imprisoned for fifty-two years, and only one portion was produced every five or six years.

"In that case, the spirits of the Earth Yin Vein should also want to participate in the immortality plan... Following the Great Sun Immortal Realm plan, there may be a Bright Moon Immortal Realm plan!"

Su Ji's foundation is the "Sun and Moon Heavenly Light Vacuum Method," which enables him to implement the Great Sun Immortal Realm Plan, and naturally, he can also implement the Bright Moon Immortal Realm Plan.

Having already conducted the previous experiments and made the necessary preparations, Su Ji didn't even need to put in any other effort; he could simply change the form without altering the substance.

However, although the Earth Yin Spirit Vein Spirit is invincible in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, it is only a Cave Profound Mage in the outside world. It seems that it is still a bit short of the skill to breathe out flowing clouds like the Earth Yang Serpent Lord...

Just then, several deities suddenly flew over from not far away, and immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

The Bright Moon Spirit Realm is a small world. Because the influence of the previous generation of elves still exists, the current generation of Earth Yin Elves, who have not yet become Spirit Lords, are called Your Highness.

The fat, cultivator-like elf nodded and said, "In order to help the Sun Guardian Spirit General collect the Earth Yin Mica, we need to drive the floating clouds to the front of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm. I ask all the gatekeeper spirit soldiers for your help!"

The Earth Spirits' main power lies beneath the earth; if they wish to influence the sky, they need the assistance of the deities residing there.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

When the three deities arrived, they already knew what they were going to do, but they still couldn't help but glance at the so-called Sun Watcher a few more times.

However, Su Ji suddenly smiled and said, "There's no need to trouble you gods. Since we only lack the weather, why bother chasing away the floating clouds?"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeepers were all puzzled, while the fat cultivator-like Earth Yin Spirit Vein Spirit trembled.

In reality, the spirits of the Earthly Yin Vein didn't have much hope.

The reason he gave away three portions of Earth Yin Spirit Essence and promised to collect Earth Yin Mica was not only because Su Ji and Mo Linglong had passed the test, but also because he wanted to form a good relationship.

Unexpectedly, the guardian spirit before them uttered such words, giving the spirit of the Earth Yin Vein the illusion that there was hope for becoming an Earth Immortal.

Immediately, the plump, monk-like elf took a deep breath and asked nervously, "Sun Watcher, the Earth Yin Mica requires the Yin energy of the weather... the weather you're referring to..."

To determine whether it was an illusion or the truth, the spirit of the Earthly Yin Vein was testing the waters with every word.

Su Ji didn't keep them in suspense and nodded, saying, "The large-scale spiritual artifacts in the Great Sun Immortal Realm project can deflect both the sunlight and the moonlight, thus naturally enhancing the yin energy within the weather."

“Originally, if I couldn’t find His Highness and the Earth Yin Spirit Vein in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, I would have used this method to find the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, and then seek the Earth Yin Mica and the Earth Yin Spirit Essence…”

"Now that Your Highness has asked, let's first present the Bright Moon Wonderland plan!"

Initially, Su Ji did not have any plans for the Great Sun Spirit Realm, so he could only send Qian Feng and Yan Tianchou's clones into the Bright Moon Spirit Realm to try their luck.

Later, when the Great Sun Wonderland Project was launched, Su Ji felt that the Earth Yin Spirits were not strong enough, so he did not directly mention the Bright Moon Wonderland Project to the City God Temple.

Now that Su Ji has seen the scale of the underground Toad Palace and the expectation in the eyes of the Earth Spirits, he knows it is time to propose the Bright Moon Wonderland plan.

Even if the Earth Spirit is not strong enough at the moment, it will only take a few more years. At least it can give the Earth Spirit hope and motivation.

"Project Bright Moon Wonderland!"

Not only the Earth Spirits and the gatekeeper deities, but even Mo Linglong's eyes widened.

The Great Sun Wonderland Project, given the precedent of the Great Zhen Prefecture in Yuzhou, is surprising but acceptable.

If the Great Sun Wonderland Project and the Bright Moon Wonderland Project are implemented together, wouldn't it be possible for Jinfeng County to have two wonderlands in the future?
At that time, Jinfeng County will not only be the number one county under Dazhen Prefecture, but may also surpass Dazhen Prefecture and become the number one City God Temple in Yuzhou!
Although Qianbian Town is directly under the jurisdiction of Dazhen Prefecture, it belongs to the territory of Jinfeng County. If Jinfeng County rises rapidly in the future, Qianbian Town may very well be assigned to Jinfeng County...

As the young lady of Thousand Changes Town, Mo Linglong may be indifferent to other things, but she still cares a lot about Thousand Changes Town, where she has lived for so many years.

"Project Bright Moon Wonderland—"

When Su Ji uttered those words, an inexplicable force descended from the sky, causing everyone present to feel an immense pressure.

The plump, monk-like elf quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Moon Lord!"

In fact, the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord is a collective term for all the collective consciousnesses of the spiritual realms. The Heavenly Will Spirit Lord of the Great Sun Spirit Realm is called the Yang Lord, and the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm is called the Moon Lord.

Su Ji understood and bowed in return, saying, "Greetings, Moon Lord!"

The guards dared not be negligent and quickly bowed.

Mo Linglong simply nodded slightly. Given her pride as a reincarnated immortal, this was already a gesture of goodwill.

"Why didn't the Supervising Spirit General mention the Bright Moon Wonderland project to the City God Temple? Is there some difficulty involved?"

Yuejun's voice seemed both far away and close at hand.

Su Ji nodded solemnly: "The Moon Lord's prediction is correct. In the Great Sun Immortal Realm plan, the Earth Yang Serpent Lord's breathing technique removes the Nine Heavens' protective energy. However, since His Highness the Earth Yin is still young, I felt that we should wait a few more years, which is why I kept it unsaid..."

The night sky and drifting clouds contain yin energy; if the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord were to absorb and expel it, much of its power would be lost. Moreover, even if the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord were willing, it wouldn't have the energy to reverse day and night.

In an instant, all eyes fell on the fat cultivator-like spirit of the Earth Yin Vein, and everyone agreed that what the Sun-Watching Spirit General said was true.

However, the spirit of the Earth Yin Vein suddenly shook his head and smiled: "What the Sun-Watching Spirit General said makes a lot of sense. With my current cultivation level, it is difficult for me to swallow and exhale the flowing clouds. But don't forget, in addition to leaving behind the underground toad palace, the sages also left behind a remains as the Yin Gate."

"As long as I ride the remains of the ancient sages into the sky, I can also swallow the flowing clouds and carry out the Bright Moon Wonderland Project!"

The previous generation of Earth Yin Spirit Vein Spirits was incredibly powerful. After their death, their remains became the gateway from Bright Moon Spirit Realm to Wusheng's hometown, and a guardian spirit general was appointed to protect the gateway.

Immediately, the cultivators present were all amazed, and they could even vaguely see the scene of the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm standing side by side in the sky above Jinfeng County.

"What a brilliant Bright Moon Wonderland plan!" A loud voice rang out, and an old man with white hair and beard flew over from not far away.

All the guardian spirits bowed and said, "Greetings, Guardian Spirit Generals!"

The plump, monk-like elf even performed a disciple's salute: "Greetings, Master!"

The guardian spirit is a teacher specially chosen by the City God for the spirits of the Yin Earth Veins, based on the lessons learned from the Earthly Yang Serpent King.

“Huh…” Su Ji suddenly felt that Zhang Xiaolian looked somewhat similar to the old man in front of him.

At this moment, Su Ji had some guesses in his mind.

Although Zhang Xiaolian's grandfather, Mr. Zhang, has never appeared, he should not be that old. The only possibility is that he is from the Deng family, the family Zhang Xiaolian's mother came from.

Yan Tianchou immediately offered some analysis: "The Deng family once produced a Grand Secretary who was not only extremely learned but must have also accumulated some merit after his death, making him the best candidate to be the guardian spirit of the gate."

Nephews resemble their uncles, and nieces also resemble their uncles. Perhaps it is this wonderful heredity that makes Zhang Xiaolian and the gatekeeper spirit in front of her look somewhat alike.

Su Ji quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Guardian Spirit General!"

The Bright Moon Wonderland Project is of great importance. If it succeeds, all participants will receive very generous rewards.

The gatekeeper spirit general, Grand Scholar Deng, was naturally very pleased and said with a smile, "If the Bright Moon Spirit Realm can be transformed into a fairyland, then my name as the gatekeeper spirit general can also be included in the annals of the City God's Palace!"

What scholars value most is to leave their mark on history. Although Grand Secretary Deng became less concerned about many things after his death, it would still be a happy thing if he could leave his name in the annals of the City God.

The spirit of the Earth Yin Spirit Vein looked gloomy. According to the City God Temple's calculations on the Great Sun Immortal Realm plan, it might take more than sixty years for the Bright Moon Spirit Realm to have a chance to become the Bright Moon Immortal Realm.

Grand Scholar Deng's combined lifespan (both yin and yang) is already close to one hundred, so he probably won't live to see the Bright Moon Spirit Realm advance to the Earth-level Immortal Realm...

It should be noted that the lifespan of a normal cultivator is at most 120 years, while a Ghost General can add 20 years, and a Ghost King can add another 60 years.

This kind of lifespan, whether yin or yang, is the upper limit, something the soul is born with.

Many people have flawed souls or have suffered soul injuries. Before that, their souls would age and decay. Taking longevity elixirs only solves the problem of soul decay, and it is extremely difficult to break through the upper limit of the soul's essence.

Of course, there are special cases like Qian Feng, whose souls have undergone transformation, but these are extremely rare and not common.

If Scholar Deng could break through to the Ghost King level, that would be even better. However, cultivation is a personal matter, and even the spirits of the Earth Yin Vein have no good solutions.

……

With the addition of the Moon Lord, obtaining the weather information becomes very easy.

A wisp of weather fell from the sky, passing through a cloud in the outside world. After that, the Nine Heavens Qi was almost gone. Then, after passing through Su Ji's [Deflection Mystic Realm], only the relatively pure Yin Qi remained.

This scene was not concealed, which naturally startled many of the gods in the City God Temple.

As a result, before the Earth Yin Mica had even formed, the City God Spirit Officer set off again, carrying the will of the City God.

Su Ji nodded to the City God with a calm and collected expression.

Mo Linglong remained expressionless... Although there was an additional Bright Moon Wonderland project, she only needed to create a large spiritual artifact with deflection capabilities.

Everyone else bowed to the City God, but the City God bowed to the gatekeeper, Scholar Deng: "Teacher, how have you been lately?"

Deng Dashi once had many students, but the City God and the Spirit Official were just some of the less successful ones.

However, since Yin and Yang are different, the disciple who was incompetent in his official career became the City God Spirit Officer after his death, which also gave Grand Scholar Deng another achievement.

"Not only are we safe and sound, but we are also overjoyed. If it weren't for our duty as gatekeepers, we would certainly raise a large toast!"

Deng Dashi was a free spirit, and given his status, many deities in the City God Temple respected him greatly. Even the God of Wealth, Qian Gong, would often come to invite him for drinks.

As a result, the atmosphere became much more relaxed under the influence of Grand Secretary Deng.

Su Ji didn't even need to collect the earth mica; the clouds in the sky flew together on their own, and soon a piece of earth mica was formed.

When the Moon Lord remained silent, the Earth Spirit conveyed the "divine will" and said, "If the weather is continuously replenished, the floating clouds accumulated over the years in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm can produce at least thirty portions of Earth Spirit Mica... It will probably take three days."

When there are many floating clouds, the production rate of mica in the production area is fast, but it will only slow down in the future.

Su Ji understood, and bowed to the omnipresent Moon Lord: "Thank you for your help, Moon Lord. If possible, I only need nine portions of Earth Yin Mica!"

During the daytime today, if Su Ji hadn't already obtained a treasure worth at least 60,000 strands of divine power from the Earth Yang Reservoir, the Heavenly Will Yang Lord of the Great Sun Spirit Realm would definitely have given Su Ji more than just a single high-grade Yang Fire Seed.

Tonight, the Earth Yin Spirit Vein Spirit only sent three portions of Earth Yin Spirit Essence, so all the Moon Lords focused their attention on the Earth Yin Mica.

Then, the Earth Spirit laughed and said, "The Moon Lord has decreed that all the Earth Mica produced shall belong to the Sun Guardian Spirit!"

In the internal exchange list of the City God Temple, a piece of Earth Yang Mica is worth 1,500 strands of divine power, while Earth Yin Mica is out of stock and will only become more valuable due to its scarcity.

In any case, the Moon Lord and the Earth Spirit were able to collect thirty portions of Earth Mica, worth no less than 45,000 strands of divine power, which can be described as a generous gift.

Since Yuejun had said so, Su Ji had no reason to refuse. Even before the large-scale spiritual artifact was manufactured, he continued to assist Yuejun in purifying the Yin Qi.

In less than an hour, the Yin Qi that Su Ji helped purify was enough for tonight's use. The purification was done by the Earth Yin Spirit Vein Spirit and the Moon Lord, so Su Ji had some free time.

During this period, the City God had already received the confirmation and left.

Mo Linglong sat cross-legged in place, deep in thought, occasionally glancing up at Su Ji and the fat cultivator-like spirit from the Earth Yin Vein.

Seeing Su Ji looking at her, Mo Linglong looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Su Ji smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Mo, please feel free to speak..."

So much happened today that Su Ji had no idea what Mo Linglong was thinking about.

A hint of doubt appeared in Mo Linglong's eyes: "I feel like I've seen this Earth Yin Spirit Vein Spirit somewhere before..."

After all, Mo Linglong was a reincarnation of a Xuanxian. Even though she had some flaws due to her incomplete soul, after a period of time, she still remembered some fragments of her dream when she first entered the Bright Moon Spirit Realm.

Although Su Ji didn't want to reveal the existence of the Heavenly Calculation Technique, he also didn't want to lie. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "It's just a dream, leaving no trace for ordinary cultivators, but for me it's just a minor technique. However, since it involves some of my secrets, I didn't elaborate..."

The so-called secret is naturally the Heavenly Plan.

However, Mo Linglong's thoughts wandered elsewhere, and she said with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Even I almost forgot everything, yet Fellow Daoist Jin is unaffected. Could it be..."

Mo Linglong was referring to cultivators who had cultivated their true spirit.

Su Ji smiled without saying a word. The local earth god and the gods of the earth temple had long thought so. One more Mo Linglong wouldn't make a difference. This was not deception, but a reasonable cover-up for the transmigrator's identity.

For a moment, Mo Linglong felt a greater sense of admiration for Su Ji.

It should be noted that even her previous life as a Xuanxian immortal failed to cultivate a true spirit before reincarnation, and ultimately could only enter the cycle of reincarnation.

In this life, Mo Linglong's body is in a state of suspended animation. Although she has wasted a lot of time, there is still a possibility that she can cultivate a true spirit.

Therefore, if Mo Linglong could find a "senior" who had cultivated a true spirit to learn from, she might have a better chance of cultivating a true spirit herself.

However, Mo Linglong was not good with words, so she could only suppress her feelings and quietly follow behind Su Ji, looking for an opportunity.

Although Mo Linglong didn't say anything, Su Ji had already noticed Mo Linglong's little scheme.

Just then, Su Ji thought that it wasn't easy to come to the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, so he prepared to use the [Resonance] method to comprehend some of the mysteries of Yin.

Within the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, there are two most mysterious places: one is the underground Toad Palace, and the other is the Yin Gate, which is the remains of the previous generation of Yin Spirits.

The underground toad palace still needs the guidance of the Earth Spirits, who in turn need to collect Earth Mica and will likely be unavailable for the next few days...

So Su Ji took flight and headed toward the Yin Gate, which was formed from the remains of the previous generation of Yin Spirits.

Just then, the gatekeeper, Academician Deng, was on duty at the Yin Gate. Su Ji didn't have time earlier, but he'll definitely find an opportunity to chat with him later.

Family matters?

Su Ji didn't want to reveal his relationship with Zhang Xiaolian, so he wouldn't make that connection for the time being.

Mysterious principles?

Judging from my observation of the gatekeeper, Scholar Deng, his cultivation level is only at the minor cultivator level, and he doesn't seem to have put much effort into this path.

Just then, Mo Linglong had some ulterior motives related to cultivating true spirit.

What Su Ji wanted to discuss with Grand Scholar Deng was the Dao of Dongzhen.
