"know."

Cai Ling looked at him with a puzzled expression, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Zhu Yuxi said, "Then Cailing, could you introduce Jufeng to someone?" Fearing Cailing might misunderstand, he quickly explained, "Jufeng wants to purchase a magical talisman from a 'Lord-level' spirit beast."

Fearing that Cai Ling might not understand, he explained again what "supernatural talismans" were.

Cai Ling's crimson pupils widened in confusion, but she didn't ask Zhu Yu why he wanted to buy the supernatural talisman. She simply nodded and said, "Okay." After a pause, she reminded him, "Making supernatural talismans consumes the essence of spirit beasts, so they'll be very expensive..."

expensive?

Zhu Yu immediately waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry, Jufeng has plenty of life stones."

He hadn't even had time to spend the "White-tailed Pear" and the "Xifu Crabapple" that the gods had bestowed upon him. He had five hundred "Jade Coins" stored in his treasury, which could be exchanged for a full fifty million "Life Stones".

Even if a "supernatural talisman" is very expensive...

Fifty million "Life Stones" should be enough to buy it.

Moreover, the "Zerg Realm" is different from the outer realms; here, Zerg warriors are the masters.

Thinking of the "jade coins," Zhu Yu suddenly remembered that before he fell into a deep sleep, the "Heavenly Mushroom" divine seed fruit had not yet matured. Now that three years have passed, it should be ripe by now.

I immediately asked Cai Ling about it.

Having just learned that he was in a deep sleep and had advanced to the next level, and that the "White-tailed Pear" divine seed had not yielded any results, Cai Ling stopped paying attention to other divinely bestowed spirit seeds.

However, spiritual seeds such as "Sea Witch Algae", "Fire Dates", and "Golden Peach" matured one after another while he was asleep, and were harvested with the help of spirit beasts such as Fire Tail.

The harvested fruit, after the pulp is dried, is stored in the hollow of a banyan tree.

"They're all good neighbors..."

I am overjoyed and am preparing to hold a grand banquet once all the arrangements are made.

In his heart, he secretly decided to let the "Queen Bamboo Fungus" and "Hyacinth" bear fruit for another season and transform into a divinely bestowed spiritual seed of the mountain lord level.

He also did not intend to sell the fruit.

All of them will be reserved for spirit beasts like Fire Tail to advance to the Mountain Lord realm.

Suppressing his thoughts, Zhu Yu checked the "White-tailed Pear" divinely bestowed spirit seed and, confirming it was unharmed, flapped his wings and flew away, taking Cai Ling with him, into the array space where the "Heavenly Mushroom" was located.

The array space, less than thirty square meters, was covered with a luminous white fungal carpet.

Threads of mycelium, invisible to the naked eye and as fine as a spider web, intertwined and meandered upwards into the air, supporting a golden-white sphere that resembled a miniature sun.

It is the special superior spiritual seed "Chaotian Mushroom".

Sensing Zhu Yu's aura, the usually shy "Chaotian Mushroom" took the initiative to land, its light subdued, revealing a spherical body inlaid with specks of gold and milky white in color.

A voice, filled with elation and joy, yet tinged with timidity, rang out.

"Jufeng, you're here..."

As for Cai Ling who was following Zhu Yu, "Chaotian Mushroom" ignored her, but she did not show the same disgusting thoughts as "Xifu Begonia" Shenci.

"Uh-huh...

Zhu Yu nodded repeatedly, his gaze quickly falling on the golden light embedded in the surface of the "Chaotian Mushroom" divinely bestowed spirit seed. Sensing the familiar aura of the divinely bestowed fruit emanating from it, he suppressed his joy and flew closer.

He pulled the soft, warm "Upturned Mushroom" into his arms, checking its information with his "True Sight" while asking with concern, "Upturned Mushroom, how are you feeling?...

"Chaotian Mushroom" shyly twisted its body, but did not forcefully break free. It said weakly, "It's fine..." Its voice was soft and sweet, unable to hide its joy.

Cai Ling, who was standing to the side, looked at the "Face-Up Mushroom" with surprise, her crimson eyes widening.

Zhu Yu gave it a quick check and confirmed that the "Heavenly Mushroom" divinely bestowed spirit seed was indeed unharmed, just slightly malnourished. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then, regaining his composure, scattered a large amount of "Life Stones," smiling as he said, "So, the giant peak is harvesting your fruit?...

The "Upward-Facing Mushroom" swayed gently, its voice barely audible, "Mmm."

Zhu Yu smiled and touched the "Heavenly Mushroom," a divinely bestowed spirit seed, praising it highly: "Heavenly Mushrooms are the best! Giant Peak loves them the most..."

The "Face-Upright Mushroom" trembled, and its milky-white body suddenly turned a light pink, making it look quite beautiful.

"Huh..."

Zhu Yu looked surprised and was about to make a few teasing remarks when he suddenly heard Cai Ling's high-pitched voice beside him.

"Cai Ling likes 'Flying-Head Mushrooms,' let's plant them together with 'White-Tailed Pears'..."

"Um?

"6

Zhu Yu was taken aback, turned to look, and seeing Cai Ling's serious expression, hesitated for a moment before saying tactfully, "Divinely bestowed spirit seeds can become tiresome to both. 'Chaotian' has a good personality, but 'Baiwei' probably won't be happy."

"What if they start fighting and there are injuries..."

Cai Ling stared at him with her crimson eyes and said, "Cai Ling and Bai Wei said they won't fight."

Upon hearing this...

Zhu Yu didn't say anything more, after all, the "Chaotian Mushroom" was a gift from Cai Ling, so there was no harm in giving it a try. If the two couldn't be combined, they could just be separated.

"Alright, once we change to a new sacred site, we'll plant the white-tailed cat and the cat together."

"Um."

Cai Ling nodded, looking at the round, chubby baby facing the sky, her crimson pupils narrowing slightly.

Zhu Yu then began to harvest the "Chaotian Mushroom," a divinely bestowed fruit.

With a twist and a pull, the fruit was picked. It was star-shaped, as bright as gold, and had no fragrance, but one could clearly sense the majestic and righteous yang energy contained within it, as well as about one-tenth of the "Spiritual Ruins Origin".

"To remove and purify negative injuries from the yin side..."

Thinking of the divinely bestowed fruit effect of the "Heavenly Mushroom," Zhu Yu immediately thought of the "Purifying True Flame" within his body. Although their effects seemed similar, the two were fundamentally different.

The "Purifying Flame" is too domineering; to it, everything in the world is filthy.

The Yang energy contained in the divinely bestowed fruit of the "Chaotian Mushroom" is like warm sunlight, containing only the warm side and not the hot and fierce side.

Because he had prepared the fruit in advance.

The "Chaotian Mushroom" was a divine gift, bearing 360 fruits on the tree, with 350 eventually ripening.

Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction, put it into the spider silk bag on his back, and looked at the "Heavenly Mushroom" divinely bestowed spirit seed that had turned from pink to milky white, and said with a smile, "Does the Heavenly Mushroom want to bask in some sunshine and rain?"

The "Heavenly Mushroom," a divinely bestowed spirit seed, swayed slightly, and a weak yet joyful voice rang out, "I want it."

Zhu Yu immediately activated the formation, and in an instant, more than a dozen rhomboid water mirrors condensed in the formation space, refracting the sunlight from the nearby area into the formation.

The "Chaotian Mushroom," a divinely bestowed spiritual seed, joyfully went to greet the sun. However, when the scorching sunlight fell on it, it not only did not feel uncomfortable, but instead, like a small grass receiving rain and dew, it was overjoyed.

"Chaotian, we're leaving now. We'll come see you another day..."

Zhu Yu gave a shout and, with Cai Ling in tow, turned and left the formation.

Take them away.

The "Heavenly Mushroom," a divinely bestowed spiritual seed, emitted strands of golden light. Under its illumination, the array space instantly turned scorching white, and the temperature rapidly soared upwards.

the other side.

Leave the array space.

Zhu Yudang then shouldered his belongings and the newly harvested "Chaotian Mushroom" divine fruit, and together with Cai Ling, he took flight, transforming into two streaks of light, one white and one gold and red, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Firetail, Baldhead, and other spirit beasts climbed to the top of the mountain and took a look. Seeing that Zhu Yu had not come out of seclusion and Cai Ling was not there, they went down the mountain.

Together, they drove away the spirit beasts, insect warriors, newly recruited spirit beasts, and ordinary animals that were surrounding the foot of the mountain, and began to busily harvest the sweet and delicious wild Kyoho grapes.

Night was beginning to fall.

The twinkling stars surround the rising bright moon.

The sky.

Zhu Yu flapped his wings slightly, and the insect appeared ten feet away as if by teleportation. Sensing the negligible consumption of spiritual energy within his body, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"No wonder the Zerg aren't called the Zerg, but rather Zerg Warriors—"

He considered it in terms of the cultivators of the "Heavenly Dao Sect".

With the strength of his Mountain Lord-level Zerg warrior, he is not much weaker than his original body when he first entered the Foundation Establishment Realm. In fact, due to the "Purifying White Fox" bloodline, he is even stronger than his original body in some aspects.

The "Life Realm" is attached to the "Insect Realm" rather than a special "source of power," which makes it much inferior in terms of freedom, flexibility, and potential.

"Once the acquired 'supernatural talismans' are transferred to the main body, it's time to fuse some 'divine soul particles' with them, and then transfer the mark given by 'Lord Ye Lian Mountain' to the main body to set up a beacon. In the future, there will be no need to worry about not being able to enter the 'Insect Realm'—"

The thought of wishing for her well-being flashed through my mind, and my joy grew even stronger.

At this time.

As Cai Ling leisurely led the way, walking on air ahead, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

"Have we arrived yet?!"

Zhu Yu's mind stirred slightly, and he was about to say something when he saw Cai Ling's wings flash, followed by a loud cry, and then he felt the world turn crimson.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a crimson space, surrounded by surging energy that made him feel somewhat terrified.

"Hiss—this is—"

Zhu Yu was stunned, and couldn't help but gasp inwardly, "Cai Ling is actually this strong—"

In his perception, the surging energy in the surrounding space was no less than that of the "Kui Dou Zhenren" he had faced before.

In other words.

Cai Ling is a peak second-tier spirit beast.

Considering that he possesses the bloodline of the phoenix, his strength in terms of offensive techniques is probably no less than that of "Master Kui Dou".

Zhu Yu said with delight, "Good brother—you've finally stopped hiding your strength!"

"Cai Ling has no hidden strength."

A domineering and arrogant voice resounded.

"It's because Jufeng was too weak before, and couldn't feel it—"

Zhu Yu didn't argue, and said with a smile, "Let's move when we get back, shall we? What does Cai Ling think of 'Moon Gazing Plain'?"

"Xianyue said there is a huge spiritual land there, enough for Jufeng to open up many spiritual seed orchards. With orchards, divine gifts may be born."

"By the way, Cailing, you didn't know, did you? Jufeng's 'Life Realm' can nurture 'divine gifts'! Cailing, what kind of 'divine gift' do you like? Jufeng will nurture one for you when we get back—"

Jufeng Baba recounts the story.

In summary, he has a bright future, is incredibly capable, and Cai Ling will enjoy a life of luxury with him; her future is very promising.

A while later.

Zhu Yudu was having trouble continuing, but Cai Ling's voice came late in.

"Cai Ling will listen to Ju Feng completely."

"Once we arrive at the 'Red Fire Ant' market, Cai Ling will find a 'spirit seed' she likes and give it to Ju Feng to nurture—"

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately assured her, "No problem, even top-tier 'spiritual seeds' are fine. Cai Ling, you can choose with confidence."

He paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "At most one year, at most one year, and the giant peak can nurture it into a 'divine gift'—"

outside world.

A divine bird with a wingspan of hundreds of feet, a chicken's head, a snake's neck, a tortoise's back, and a fish's tail, its feathers resembling gold and red, as if cast from magma, pierced the sky.

Upon hearing Zhu Yu's words, a hint of surprise flashed in its bright golden eyes. Then, it narrowed its eyes and sent a domineering and arrogant voice into the golden-red cover on one corner of its back.

"Kyoho is the best!"

Whether it was just her imagination or not, Zhu Yu felt that Cai Ling's words were a little hesitant, but she didn't think much of it, raised her head, and said shamelessly, "Ju Feng is just that amazing!"

Immediately, the man and the phoenix started chattering away, one after the other.

They were all talking about things like how the Firetail bloodline was alright, the bald one was a king beast, and how the Black and White Ones and the Golden Fur Ones were of good bloodlines—

I don't know how long it has been.

As soon as Cai Ling finished speaking, Zhu Yu saw the space in front of him slowly fade away. When it completely disappeared, he found a large, five-colored rooster standing beside him, pointing with one wing to a distance, saying, "Buy 'Supernatural Talismans' at the Red Fire Ant 'Market'—"

"Red Imported Fire Ant Market" —

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up, unaware that Cai Ling's voice hadn't returned to its high-pitched form; it remained the same light yet domineering and arrogant tone.

"Let's go, let's go! I've been wanting to visit the Red Fire Ant 'Market' for a long time!"

The insect and the spirit beast headed towards the "marketplace".

Not long after.

A vast expanse of stars, its length and width unknown, stretching as far as the eye could see, came into view.

He was all too familiar with the starlight emanating from this sea of ​​stars.

It is the "star mushroom" produced by the "fungus world" that has a strong reproductive capacity and is suitable for use as lighting.

You'll notice it when you get close.

In the center of the starry sea stands a colossal shrub, entirely crimson, its thickness unknown, and its height exceeding a thousand feet.

Looking from afar.

It resembles a raging volcano.

Zhu Yu could clearly sense the vast, boundless "spiritual essence" emanating from this "Fire Jujube" divinely bestowed spiritual seed. He gasped, stunned, and exclaimed, "Hiss, what level of 'divinely bestowed' spiritual seed is this—"

Cai Ling, standing to the side, replied nonchalantly, "Cai Ling has heard other spirit beasts say that this is the ancestral tree of the Red Fire Ant tribe, and it seems to be—" It thought for a moment and added, "It is a king-level wild divine-given spirit seed."

"King-level wild divinely bestowed spirit seed—"

Zhu Yu repeated, "As far as I know, the King level is a rank above the Lord level."

In other words, this wild, divinely bestowed "Fire Jujube" plant, as large as a mountain, was two whole realms above him.

If we classify them according to the level of "Heavenly Dao Sect".

It belongs to the "Primordial Spirit Realm" spiritual plant, with the same cultivation level as the ancestor "Qingyang Daojun".

"Wow, it's huge!"

Zhu Yu sighed, then asked with interest, "I wonder if the Red Fire Ant tribe sells the fruit of the 'Ancestral Tree'—"

Cai Ling glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The insect and the beast soon landed in front of the "Marketplace".

In front of a towering, crimson archway, hundreds of feet tall.

"Huh, could that be 'Blood Copper'?"

Zhu Yu's gaze fell on the archway, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Blood Copper".

Only when the blood of high-level demonic beasts is spilled in the copper mine, and over a long period of time, can it be nurtured. When it is mined, it is only of low grade, but after being refined through a series of processes, it can eventually be refined into a second-grade high-grade spiritual material.

If "blood copper" is added to a magical artifact, its spiritual power will be greatly enhanced, making it an excellent item.

The market archway was made of low-grade blood copper.

"How extravagant!"

Zhu Yu sighed inwardly, wondering if the Red Fire Ant tribe sold refined second-tier "Blood Copper," when a joyful shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Jufeng, is that you—"
