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

Chapter 173 Mysterious Arts, Lesser Yang Immortal Furnace

Su Ji was, after all, a Sun Guardian General. Even though he was busy with various matters, he still had to go to the Great Sun Spirit Realm to check on the situation every few days.

The Fairy Realm Project still requires weather conditions, and comparatively, the Earth Serpent Lord, whose cultivation level is higher, obtains more weather conditions.

As for spiritual materials of various attributes, Jinfeng County is trying its best to collect them. Over the years, the Sun and Moon Spiritual Realms have brought so many benefits that they don't feel bad about spending money on them.

Most importantly, the value of spiritual materials of various attributes is more about quantity than quality. What is needed is the mystery that the Great Sun Spiritual Realm and the Bright Moon Spiritual Realm lack, and it does not affect the resource output of the two spiritual realms.

As for Mingyue Lingjing's lead, it was not Su Ji's intention. It was simply because the broken immortal realm of Jinku Sect and Taibai Dragon Clan were both Yin, which allowed Mingyue Lingjing to quickly collect a lot of the mysteries it needed.

When the local Yang Snake Lord came to inquire, Su Ji told him the truth. He did not expect that this news would be such a blow to the local Yang Snake Lord, who even forgot to say goodbye.

Su Ji could only watch the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord leave before heading to the brick kiln to cultivate.

Over the past month, Su Ji has naturally not slacked off. At the advanced cultivation level, cultivation level is important, but realm also needs to be improved.

In order to improve his realm, Su Ji focused his attention on thirteen aspects, namely the deviation of the Five Elements, the deviation of the Four Symbols, the deviation of Yin and Yang, and the deviation of Qian and Kun.

Qiankun represents heaven and earth, Yin and Yang represent the sun and moon, the Four Symbols represent the four seasons, and the Five Elements represent all things.

Heaven and earth are there, the sun and moon rise and set every day, the seasons turn endlessly, and all things are constantly changing.

Among the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth:
Water, wood, and earth are the most common elements, making it easy to find objects of study and enlightenment.

Gold rarely exists in a pure state. Even though there are many metals in human society, they are only accumulated over a long history. Su Ji chose to join the Immortal Artifact Forging Team in Thousand Changes Town.

Although fire is common, it is mostly a small, everyday fire, and understanding its effects is too slow, far less effective than the large-scale burning of black gold stone in brick kilns.

It is now November 11th, already midwinter. It seems that due to the influence of the ruined fairyland of Jinku Sect and the reflection of the autumn chill fairyland of Qili Lake, it snowed early this year.

In fact, as early as September, the people had finished their year's work and started the autumn harvest and winter storage.

Thanks to the East-West Chamber of Commerce's innovations in sericulture techniques, most villages in the north of the city benefited.

Even though the weather was slightly dry this year, the villages along the river used waterwheels, and the farmers around Qili Lake benefited from the Taibai Dragon Clan's regulation of the water veins, resulting in a good harvest.

With more money, people begin to pursue material and even spiritual needs. Many people would normally start repairing their houses after the autumn harvest to prevent them from collapsing under the weight of winter snow.

Fortunately, after three or four months of hard work, the houses in Dongsang Village and Xisang Village have been completely transformed. The houses of many villagers, such as Zhang's Courtyard, Zhou Wen's, Zhou Lan's, Wu's, and Li's, have been rebuilt.

Not only landlords, but also some silkworm farmers and fishermen who made money built brick houses here. If it weren't for the fact that Dongsang and Xisang villages didn't have city walls, they would even be considered a newly built urban area of ​​Jinfeng County.

The progress of Dongsang and Xisang villages has made the surrounding people very envious. Perhaps some people cannot afford to build houses, but the rich and small landlords have their eyes shining.

Currently, the order book for bricks alone is already full up to the 20th, so the brick kiln has specially opened a new kiln for this purpose.

Not far from Jushan in Jiuxiang County, a brick kiln has also been opened and is currently firing bricks for the Qiu family.

Most importantly, in the past, when autumn and winter came, some people would go into the mountains to cut firewood to prepare for the winter, while others would take advantage of the dry season to dig up silt for fertilizer... but most people were still quite idle.

Today, brick kilns not only provide jobs for ordinary people, but also create employment opportunities for construction workers. Money is earned and then spent, and although the overall situation seems unchanged, it actually increases the assets of the entire human society.

Not to mention, in the process of money circulating, it also becomes tainted with the mixed wishes of the people, causing the frequency of Yantianchou absorbing the wishes of money to increase several times or even more than ten times.

When the Tianchou was upgraded, it consumed 300,000 units of computing power, part of which was absorbed from the money circulating in the East-West Chamber of Commerce.

When Di Yang Shejun arrived at the brick kiln following the guidance of the local spirit soldier of Dongsang Village, he saw Su Ji inside the kiln, trying to understand the mysteries of deflecting flames.

The hot air generated when a flame burns causes changes in the density of the surrounding air, which in turn causes light refraction, creating a visual effect of spatial distortion.

Similarly, the bricks fired in the kiln will also be distorted and deflected due to the high temperature.

Moreover, although black gold stone is called stone, it is essentially carbonized wood from ancient times, and can also be used to understand some of the effects of broken wood...

Su Ji's cultivation in the brick kiln is a win-win-win situation. Even if his cultivation progress is not very fast, he can gradually improve his realm over time.

"So it's the Earth Serpent King!"

While Su Ji was cultivating, Yan Tianchou did not forget to observe his surroundings.

The Earthly Serpent King blushed slightly and first bowed, saying, "Not long ago, I lost my composure and left without uttering a sound. I beg the Sun-Monitoring Spirit to punish me!"

In terms of nominal titles, the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord is higher than the Sun-Supervising Spirit General, but in terms of authority, the title of Sun-Supervising Spirit General refers to supervising the Great Sun Spirit Realm, including the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord.

Not to mention, Su Ji was the initiator and host of the two Wonderland Projects. If Su Ji hadn't been so indifferent to these things, he would have already been displeased by the Earth Serpent Lord's disrespect.

Su Ji simply shook his head and smiled: "I know the bad news has had a significant impact on the Serpent King, so there's no need for the Serpent King to come here specifically to apologize..."

Social interactions are necessary, but for Su Ji at present, it's best to save as much time as possible and dedicate more time to cultivation.

Before arriving, the Earthly Serpent King was jolted awake by a few words from the Sun Lord, and now he became extremely polite: "Sun Guardian General, I have come not only to apologize, but also on the orders of the Sun Lord to extend an invitation..."

Although the Earth Serpent Lord gave Su Ji and Mo Linglong a lot of resources during the City God Temple Fair, from another perspective, even if the Earth Serpent Lord did not intervene, Su Ji and Mo Linglong would still have obtained those treasures.

In fact, without the Earthly Serpent Lord, Su Ji and Mo Linglong could have obtained even more treasures. On the contrary, by resolving the relationship between the Earthly Serpent Lord and the City God Temple, some of the treasures in the Earthly Reservoir were taken back by the Earthly Serpent Lord.

From this perspective, the Earthly Serpent Lord is not as generous as the White Jade Toad Lord.

In their subsequent interactions, the Earthly Serpent Lord, relying on his invincible combat power and thousands of years of experience, treated Su Ji as a junior and did not adopt the proper attitude.

So, on the way to Jinfeng County, the Earthly Serpent King blushed slightly, but still had to lower himself and try his best to show goodwill.

However, the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord was used to being domineering and had even opposed the Yang Lord in order to compete for control of the Great Sun Spirit Realm. From childhood to adulthood, he had always acted as a superior.

The Earth Serpent King suddenly lowered its stance, which not only made it feel somewhat embarrassed, but also made Su Ji feel a little uncomfortable.

Su Ji could only change the subject, saying, "Earth Serpent Lord, let's talk about cultivation instead!"

Upon hearing this, the Earth Serpent King seemed to be suddenly awakened, and his eyes lit up.

Bai Yuchan studied under Academician Deng and did understand some social etiquette, but among cultivators, the focus was still on interests.

The Earthly Serpent King had also heard of the profound technique used by the Sun-Watching Spirit General, which was seven or eight parts similar to the divine power of the previous Bright Moon Toad. It was evident that the profound technique might have been derived from the divine power of the Bright Moon Toad.

The Sun-Watching Spirit General had also learned two profound arts from the Great Sun Spirit Realm, but had never broken through to the superior level. If we could help the Sun-Watching Spirit General cultivate his two Earth Yang Profound Arts to the superior level, everything would be much easier to discuss!

Following Su Ji's words, the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord began to discuss cultivation issues, and his first words concerned the profound mysteries of the Great Sun Spirit Realm's death tornado.

"That death tornado was not only due to the pressure released by the countless Earth Yang spiritual liquids accumulated in the Earth Yang Reservoir, but also related to the Earth Yang spiritual vein structure specially constructed by Yang Jun. After I escaped, the structure inside was dismantled."

"If the Sun-Watching Spirit General wishes to continue to comprehend its mysteries, I can find a way to reconstruct the structure of the Earth's Yang Spirit Vein..."

The words of the Earthly Serpent Lord immediately struck a chord with Su Ji.

Since he began cultivating, Su Ji has only mastered one high-grade profound technique, [Tongyou Xuanmen]. Even [Yinguang Yingdun], which is only missing the last high-grade profound fragment, requires a specific opportunity to comprehend the world.

As for [Earthly Yang Eruption], even after going to the Mountain God Temple and the Crimson Sun Spirit Realm to comprehend its mysteries, it is still lacking two high-level mystical fragments.

It wasn't that Su Ji lacked comprehension ability, but rather that the [Earthly Yang Eruption] originated from the death tornado of the Great Sun Spirit Realm. Even those in the Crimson Sun Spirit Realm couldn't comprehend its many mysteries. Su Ji could only try to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth while slowly figuring it out on his own.

Now that the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord has suddenly mentioned the reason for this, Su Ji has a renewed hope that he can master the superior-grade profound technique [Earthly Yang Surge] in a short period of time.

Su Ji's eyes lit up as well, and he began to discuss with the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord.

Although Su Ji can no longer enter the Great Sun Spirit Realm because he has become a high-level cultivator, he can still enter it with an avatar formed from his Cave True cultivation. Even though his comprehension is slower due to the lack of the blessing of the Heavenly Soul Spirit, it is still better than him trying to figure it out on his own.

Before long, Su Ji and the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord arrived at the Great Sun Spirit Realm and met the Yang Lord who had been waiting for a long time.

Yang Jun is a collection of consciousnesses from the Great Sun Spirit Realm. He does not have a human form, but rather transforms into a bright little sun.

"Currently, the Bright Moon Wonderland Project is progressing far ahead of the Great Sun Wonderland Project. I wonder if the Sun Watcher has any brilliant ideas to accelerate the progress of the Great Sun Wonderland Project?"

Yang Jun didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

Su Ji had already guessed some of it on the way, so he was prepared when Yang Jun suddenly asked him this question.

"Yang Jun, it is difficult for either the Jinku Sect, which has mastered the [Xin Jin] path, or the Qiuhan Immortal Realm of the Taibai Dragon Clan, which has mastered the [Shao Yin] power, to possess immortal and divine objects with the Yang attribute."

"There are currently three ways to obtain divine artifacts that can help advance the Great Sun Wonderland Project."

"One is to go to the Firebird Wonderland in the White Rock Mountains. Even if there are no immortal or divine treasures with the Yang attribute there, there should be earth-grade spiritual materials with the Yang attribute..."

Lao Yang represents summer in all four seasons, and is also known as the blazing sun, which includes the fire element.

However, even if the Firebird Wonderland has treasures, they should be the treasures of the Firebird clan. Even with the prestige of the City God Temple in Jinfeng County, it would be extremely difficult to borrow them.

"Secondly, there is the Jinshan Sect, the number one Xuanmen sect in Lunzhou. If we pay a certain price and do them a favor, we may be able to borrow a divine magic weapon with the attributes of Old Yang or Young Yang."

The Jinshan Sect ranks first among the Xuanmen sects in Lunzhou. It has mastered more than just the [Scattered Gold] Dao path. It is said that it has also dabbled in some Dao paths of [Xin Gold] and [Geng Gold]... Perhaps it does not have the [Shaoyang] and [Laoyang] Dao paths, but it has a high probability of possessing the immortal and divine treasures of Shaoyang and Laoyang.

Su Ji was not familiar with the Jinshan Sect, but he knew Mo Linglong. Although Mo Linglong had not returned to the Jinshan Sect, she had not severed ties with it either.

"Thirdly, the Jin Feng County City God Temple reported to the City God pantheon, requesting assistance from City God Temples in various regions to rent magical artifacts from the Lesser Yang or Old Yang Immortal Gods. The only drawback is that it would expose the Great Sun Immortal Realm plan..."

The various City God Temples are not brothers, but rather departments of equal rank, not to mention the unapproachable officials above them.

If the Two Immortal Realms Plan is exposed, the plan will most likely still be able to continue, but it is very likely that the benefits will be taken away, and the gods led by the City God Temple will not allow it.

Su Ji said he listed three methods, but in reality there were only two. Given that the City God of Jinfeng County did not want to be replaced and lose his political achievements, the third method was absolutely impossible to implement.

Therefore, Yang Jun immediately came up with a solution.

"Whether it's the first method or the second method, they should be implemented immediately. The Earth Yang Serpent Lord will be in charge of the White Rock Mountain Range, and the Jian Ri Ling General will have to take care of the Golden Mountain Sect!"

"As for the expenses in this regard, please rest assured, General Jian Ri Ling will reward you handsomely after the matter is accomplished!"

The depleted spiritual veins of a broken fairyland alone are worth tens of millions of strands of divine power, not to mention such a vast Great Sun Spiritual Realm.

Not to mention, the Great Sun Wonderland project received the full support of the City God Temple, and Yang Jun only needed to pay the portion exceeding the City God Temple's budget...

At this moment, Su Ji realized that the Earthly Serpent Lord had also participated in the battle of the gods caused by the struggle for the Heavenly Emperor more than three hundred years ago.

It was only because the Earth Yang Serpent Lord's cultivation level and methods were only at the top level of high cultivation that he did not receive as many benefits as the previous generation of Bright Moon Elf, but the Earth Yang Serpent Lord did make some friends.

Among them was a ghost king of the Firebird clan who had once been saved by the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord, which gave the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord some confidence in borrowing treasures.

Although Su Ji didn't want to trouble Mo Linglong, he had to make some moves, both for the sake of cultivating the superior-grade profound technique [Earth Yang Surge] and for the Great Sun Immortal Realm plan.

"A magical artifact of immortals or deities with the attributes of Lesser Yang or Greater Yang?"

Upon hearing Su Ji's request to rent the property, Mo Linglong immediately fell into deep thought.

Before long, Mo Linglong found some clues in her memories:
"In my memory, I once used a furnace to refine magical artifacts at the Jinshan Sect. The token that the Jinshan Sect brought last time was forged from a magical furnace... and that furnace was of the Lesser Yang attribute!"

In the past, it would have been difficult for Mo Linglong to find an excuse to borrow the Shaoyang Immortal Furnace from the Jinshan Sect. However, Mo Linglong is now representing Qianbian Town to help Jiuxiang County and the dilapidated Immortal Realm refine immortal artifacts.

The Golden Flame Spirit Lord who presides over the broken fairyland is Mo Linglong's niece from her previous life, and the Golden Flame Divine Soldiers who are suppressed in Chrysanthemum Mountain are subordinates of Mo Linglong's niece, the Golden Flame Divine General...

Therefore, Mo Linglong assured, "The Snow Mountain Trade Fair will begin next month. It is easy for us outsiders to participate, but we are very likely to be targeted after the trade. The success of the immortal artifact crafting is therefore of utmost importance."

"Even if the Immortal Furnace is currently being used by immortals and gods, there's a good chance I can borrow it if I just ask..."

Borrowing the precious immortal furnace from the Golden Mountain Sect to forge immortal artifacts was done through official channels, so no one would say anything regardless of whether Mo Linglong succeeded in forging it or not.

If the Immortal Furnace were to be lent to the Jin Feng County City God Temple behind Su Ji, it would be a matter of Mo Linglong's face. Without considering Mo Linglong's past life, the cultivators would not dare to offend Mo Linglong on the territory of the Golden Flame Divine General.

Naturally, Mo Linglong will inevitably incur some favors.

However, ever since Mo Linglong met Su Ji, she has been indebted to him. Even though she has repaid some of the debt by generously gifting him treasures, the debt is still growing.

For example, Mo Linglong's resurrection was achieved thanks to the Frost Altar that Su Ji borrowed from Jinfeng County; the Living Dantian [Dongxuan Cultivation] method that Mo Linglong cultivated was also created and passed down by Su Ji...

Now that Su Ji needs a Shaoyang attribute immortal furnace, Mo Linglong didn't even ask what it was for. As long as Su Ji could guarantee that the main body of the immortal furnace wouldn't be damaged, she would just help him!
The disciples of Jinshan Sect were in Jushan. Mo Linglong was addressed as "Master Aunt" by Jin Yanlingjun the moment she appeared...

Soon, news of Mo Linglong using the Immortal Furnace to forge immortal artifacts reached the Golden Mountain Sect.
