During construction.

Zhu Yu recalled the blue ox, black donkey, and big beetle that Heitu had brought. With the two spirit beasts' burly physiques, it would be a real pity if they weren't used for hauling goods.

The herring beetle, with its naturally keen senses and superhuman strength, is not only resilient and capable of fighting, but also able to perceive minute details, making it a perfect fit for tending to the 'Fine-leaved Swordwood' orchard.

"No rush, let's observe for a while and see what their strategy is..."

Zhu Yu shook his head slightly, suppressed his thoughts, and began to get busy.

Not long after.

A formation centered around the "Myriad Stars Plate" was formed. It was not complicated; its main purpose was to gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth for teleportation.

Zhu Yu lightly touched his brow, summoning the "Grass Spirit Technique" seed imbued with his own aura, and tossed it into the groove of the "Myriad Stars Disc." With a slight thought, he activated the array.

An invisible force rapidly spread, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which poured into the "Myriad Stars Disc." The arrays and restrictions were activated, and wisps of dreamlike, colorful light appeared on its surface, merging into the "Grass Spirit Technique" seed embedded in the groove of the "Myriad Stars Disc."

As a chilling aura spread, a mysterious energy pierced through the heavens and earth, probing towards the unknown depths.

It might be a moment, or it might be a long time.

The "Grass Spirit Technique" seed emitted specks of white light, which gathered in mid-air and evolved into a shimmering white vortex.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu dared not delay and hurriedly took out the spider silk bag containing the Lord-level "Goji Berry Divine Fruit" and threw it into the shimmering white vortex one by one.

Wait a few moments.

Then, the stone bottle containing nine hundred drops of "Life Dew" and a million Life Stones were successively thrown into the vortex.

Finally, there was the crimson tail feather that Cai Ling gave him.

Unlike other items, when the crimson tail feathers fell into the vortex, Zhu Yu immediately sensed that the "Myriad Stars Disc" was absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at an increased speed, and there were faint signs of instability.

Fortunately, after a few breaths, calm returned.

"call…"

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, came back to his senses, looked at the "Myriad Stars Compass" suspended in mid-air, and shook his head slightly.

Although the "Myriad Stars Disc" inheritance is wonderful, it is ultimately only a first-tier array artifact. It is fine for teleporting ordinary items, but it is somewhat difficult to teleport items containing powerful energy, such as the Rainbow Tail Feather.

"pity…"

"If the 'Myriad Stars Compass' were still with the original body, it might have a chance to be upgraded to a spirit-grade array artifact..."

The difference between a first-tier array artifact and a spirit-grade array artifact is enormous. If the "Myriad Stars Disc" were to be upgraded to a spirit-grade artifact, there would be no need for him to painstakingly set up auxiliary arrays.

Zhu Yu shook his head to clear his mind of distractions, confirmed that everyone had been teleported away, nodded to himself, and then, while keeping an eye on the formation, thought to himself that tomorrow he would mobilize the residents of "Giant Peak Market" to collect resources such as iron ore and copper ore needed to cultivate spirit seeds.

"Should we set up a contribution point system?...

After thinking about it, I decided to abandon the idea. "Giant Peak Market" currently has too few residents, only about thirty. It's not too late to consider it again when there are more...

……

Martial arts world.

"Foundation Building Realm", Qingping Spirit Ruins.

Within his natal spirit realm, Zhu Yu examined the two blood-red fruits, each the size of an infant's fist, in his hand, a strange look on his face.

"Goji berries...what a simple and unpretentious name..."

Its name is wolfberry, but its shape is different from the wolfberry in his previous life. Instead, it looks like a rare and precious herb called Blood Bodhi in his memory.

Without much thought, he placed the two "goji berries" into two jade boxes and sealed them with a spirit-sealing technique.

After carefully putting away the jade box, Zhu Yu took the stone bottle containing nine hundred drops of "Life Dew" into his palm, opened the bottle, sniffed it, confirmed that the taste was pure and the product was genuine, nodded in satisfaction, and carefully put it away.

He is currently in the prime of his life, so naturally he doesn't need to consume the "Life Dew" which has severe side effects to prolong his life. However, for some elderly cultivators, the "Life Dew" that can extend their lifespan by sixty years is no less valuable than a celestial treasure.

As for the side effects of petrification, that's nothing to worry about.

Nine hundred drops of "Life Dew" are enough to extend the lifespan of fifteen people by sixty years. If he were to sell them, it would be a considerable income for him.

In this regard.

Zhu Yu, however, was not in a hurry.

To sell "Life Dew" at a good price, you need the right timing and the right people.

"Hanabiki is a good insect; she's worth getting to know better..."

Zhu Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.

Thinking of the kind-hearted spirit beasts in the insect realm, and comparing them to their own proud and arrogant subordinate Foundation Establishment cultivators, it's truly a case of "comparison is the thief of joy, and comparison is the thief of joy."

Thinking of this, he looked up at the dark sun in the sky, sensing the increasingly vigorous energy within it, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"We'll just have to wait for Xiaoyu and the others to break through..."

As he was thinking this, the shimmering white vortex on the teleportation array suddenly shone brightly, and the next moment, life stones gushed out like spring water, scattering all over the ground.

Before Zhu Yu could finish, the shimmering white vortex suddenly trembled violently, showing signs of collapsing. His eyes lit up, and he quickly used his "Native Spirit Void" to suppress the formation and prevent it from collapsing.

"Is it coming...?"

It didn't take long.

Suddenly, a touch of crimson appeared in the shimmering white vortex, and then a tail feather, entirely crimson like jade, flew out from the vortex and hovered in mid-air.

A violent, destructive aura gradually spread out.

"not good…"

Zhu Yu's expression changed drastically, and his divine sense enveloped it. Just as he was about to move it out of the "Natal Spirit Ruins", a melodious bird song containing doubt resounded in his mind.

"twitter?…"

Then, the tail feathers that had seemed about to burst forth instantly returned to calm, and like ordinary feathers, slowly drifted down.

"Um?"

Zhu Yu tried to raise his arm, and this time he did not feel any resistance from the tail feathers, and successfully captured them in his palm.

It feels warm to the touch and is soft to the touch, not much different from ordinary feathers, unlike its hard appearance.

But in his divine perception, he felt that what he was receiving was not a small tail feather, but a space filled with a violent and destructive sea of ​​fire.

It seems that as long as one has a slight thought, one can unleash its inner power.

He had a vague feeling that once the power contained in the tail feathers was unleashed, even the "natal spirit ruins" would be burned through, leaving the person either dead or crippled.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Zhu Yu was overjoyed. With this tail feather, even if he couldn't contend with a Dharma Aspect Martial Artist or a Great Immortal who had perfected the Threefold Tower Dharma, he wouldn't be completely powerless to fight back.

After thinking for a moment, he used his divine sense to cover his tail feathers and carefully called out:

"Cai Ling?... "

The tail feathers remained unmoved.

"Cai Ling..."

Undeterred, Zhu Yu called out several more times, attempting to awaken the spirit or intent contained within the tail feathers.

No matter how he called out, Tail Feather did not respond.

Finally, Zhu Yu reluctantly came to the conclusion that Cai Ling didn't like him and didn't want to pay attention to him.

He even had a vague feeling that if he didn't use the tail feather before Cai Ling got impatient, it would naturally transform into mortal feathers.

Zhu Yu's face darkened: "..."

No.

He is Jufeng, and Jufeng is also him…

We're both the same person, why is there such a big difference in treatment?

The feeling of unease he just experienced was not a premonition, but rather the influence of the colorful thoughts within the "tail feather" on him, making him somewhat impatient to use the tail feather.

Zhu Yu was so angry that he wanted to complain to the distracted spirit and give Cai Ling a good scolding when she returned to Jufeng Mountain, but he had to suppress the thought for the time being because he might need her help in the future.

Coming to his senses, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

"Ha, this is truly a reversal of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Who is the true form here?... "

Without much thought, he turned to look at the still-dissipating shimmering white vortex, lightly touched his brow, and extracted the Dao Foundation, which contained a portion of his consciousness and was condensed from six thousand divine soul particles, and sent it into the shimmering white vortex.

With these six thousand divine soul particles.

Even if one breaks through to the Mountain Lord level through a split-point breakthrough, there is no need to worry about the soul lagging behind the physical body's growth for a long time.

Because Cai Ling somehow influenced his distraction, making his soul and body inextricably linked, he might receive a surprise in the future.

Once the shimmering white vortex disappeared, Zhu Yu sensed that he was unharmed after being distracted for a moment. He then moved the scattered life stones to where Xiao Hei was and instructed it to give the "Starry Sky Wood" ten life stones every day as a supplement.

After doing all this.

Zhu Yu looked up at the "Origin of the Spiritual Ruins" and "Essence of the Five Elements" that had expanded several times in the air, then looked at the new tomb that had appeared on the ground. He chuckled and with a slight thought, a bronze artifact appeared in front of him.

The door was wide open, and I stepped inside.

When he appeared, he heard deafening shouts of battle. He stepped into the sky and looked down.

All that could be seen was the city of "Huangliang City" mentioned above.

Tens of thousands of soldiers dressed as Yongzhou Guards were fiercely fighting against the "Tuyu People," who outnumbered them several times over. As their formations shifted, they cut the scattered and disorderly "Tuyu People" into pieces.

The Yongzhou Guard should have used its ingenious strategy to surround and kill the scattered "Tuyuren," but unfortunately, there were too many of them, and they were all thick-skinned and fearless of death.

The battle will only last for a short time.

Although the "Tuyuren" suffered casualties, the Yongzhou Guard suffered even more.

Not long after.

Accompanied by the faint sound of drums, Wei Rushui of Yongzhou withdrew from the battlefield.

The enraged "Fishmen" swarmed after them, hacking and slashing, before returning to the city at the urging of some giant "Fishmen" nearly ten feet tall and elite "Fishmen" who could cast spells.

next moment.

At a camp ten miles outside "Huangliang City," several figures emerged from the air and arrived before the city in an instant. Leading them was a refined and handsome middle-aged man. He looked into the city and shouted:

"Extraterrestrial demons, do you dare to leave the city and fight?"

The words fell.

Several streaks of light emerged from the city, manifesting in mid-air the figures of Cang Hai, Cang Li, Fu Hongxi, Hong Youfu, Qiao Heyong, and others.

No nonsense.

The group immediately clashed, their qi, blood, true energy, and magical power scattering everywhere, creating a deafening roar and a tremendous spectacle.

However, in Zhu Yu's eyes, although the fight seemed to be very powerful, in reality, they only used less than one-tenth of their strength, leaving nine-tenths of their strength for defense and to prepare to escape at any time.

After taking a couple of glances, he leaped down and, in a flash, arrived at a military camp not far from the main camp.

Seeing the tiger-shaped flags fluttering in the military camp, Zhu Yu did not rush in. Instead, he revealed his true form and addressed the Zhenwu Army guarding the gate: "Please inform General Huang that Qin Ying has come to visit you."

"Prefect Qin, please wait a moment."

The guards of Zhenwu Army recognized Zhu Yu, with whom they had met many times. They exchanged a few polite words, then turned and entered the military camp. A short while later, they returned with Huang Shi's adjutant.

"Prefect Qin, the general requests your presence."

The adjutant glanced at Zhu Yu and said politely.

Thank you.

Zhu Yu nodded his thanks, and then, under his guidance, entered the military camp. It was as if he had passed through some kind of barrier. As soon as he entered, he felt himself being stared at by a vicious gaze that seemed to devour its prey.

Following the gaze, one could see a flag, half of which had been cut off by some sharp weapon, hanging on a thick, several-foot-tall hardwood log in the center of the military camp.

The flag was embroidered with tiger stripes, so lifelike that the menacing gaze he sensed came from it.

"Array Soul... The Legacy of Military Strategy..."

Gazing at the flag, Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of envy and secretly sigh, "It's so nice to have someone backing you up..."

Without thinking much, he followed his adjutant into the central tent.

Inside the tent.

The withered and dark-skinned Huang Shi was sipping tea with great relish, and the tea soup was emerald green, which was indeed green tea.

"General, Prefect Qin has arrived."

The adjutant said.

Huang Shi waved for him to leave, then turned his gaze to Zhu Yu, a hint of eagerness appearing in his eyes. He gestured for him to leave, forcing an awkward smile, and said:

"Sit down and talk."

As soon as Zhu Yu sat down, he suppressed his excitement, reached out and poured him a cup of tea, and then slowly asked:

"Young man, have you found the miraculous elixir?"

Zhu Yu looked at his body, which was noticeably thinner than before, and was puzzled for a moment. He didn't think much of it and assumed it was due to his injuries. When asked, he nodded slightly and, without saying anything, took out a jade box containing the Lord-level "Goji Berry" divinely bestowed fruit from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"I have successfully completed my mission. General, please take a look and see if this is suitable..."

After speaking, he opened the jade box under Huang Shi's burning gaze.

Instead of the elixir that exuded celestial charm as he had imagined, he found a fruit that was crimson in color and round like jade.

"This is... a fruit..."

Huang Shi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Yu, who had a calm expression, and reached out to the "goji berry" divine fruit. The moment he touched it, he felt the powerful blood and energy contained within the fruit. His eyes widened and then turned into ecstatic joy.

boom…

He slammed the jade box shut, took it in his hand, gently stroked it, and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, good, good, good..."

Zhu Yu glanced at him and reminded him at the opportune moment, "General, the divine seed..."

Huang Shi, who was interrupted, was not angry. Instead, he took a cloth bag from his pocket, tossed it to him, and grinned, saying:

"Young man, please check if this is correct."

He paused, then added, "This isn't an old divine seed; it's a freshly picked one, still very fresh..."

"Fresh…"

Zhu Yu glanced at Huang Shi in surprise. Suddenly, he vaguely understood why the Zhenwu Army was stationed outside and why it had not joined forces with the Yongzhou Guard to attack Huangliang City.

The reason is...

It's probably in this cloth bag...

Zhu Yu opened the cloth bag and poured out a blood-red crystal, revealing a silvery-white heart sealed inside.

He glanced at him, then looked up at Huang Shi, who was sipping tea, and couldn't help but ask:

"General, which Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist is this?...
