Chapter 453 Inviting Good Neighbors to a Feast at Baishuihe Spiritual Land (Please Subscribe)

The morning light was faint, and the mist was thick.

Baihua Peak.

The ancient flowers, glistening with morning dew, appeared exceptionally beautiful.

Two fluffy, round bumblebees shuttled back and forth among the thousand-year-old spiritual flowers, collecting enough pollen before turning and flying to a tree that was ten feet tall, as thick as a person could hug, bare and leafless, resembling a beehive.

At this time.

A streak of crimson light flew from the horizon and landed directly on Hundred Flowers Peak.

Busy Xiong Da and Xiong Er sensed the fluctuations in the terrifying insect's spiritual energy and were immediately startled. They cautiously looked towards the source of the escaping light, and when the light subsided and they saw the situation clearly, they exclaimed with delight, "It's Cai Ling!"

Flying close, completely ignoring Zhu Yu, they shouted excitedly, "Cai Ling, Cai Ling, has Ju Feng woken up yet—."

"Did Cai Ling come to bring food to Xiong Er?"

'

Cai Ling glanced sideways at Xiong Da and Xiong Er, then raised her wings and pointed at Zhu Yu, "Ju Feng."

Zhu Yu looked at Xiong Da and Xiong Er, who had already been promoted to intermediate-level Zerg warriors, waved and smiled, "Long time no see, Xiong Da and Xiong Er!"

.

"Kyoho!"

"You are a giant peak!"

Big Bear and Little Bear exclaimed in surprise, raised their bodies, sniffed his scent, and circled him a few times before finally confirming that this huge insect was indeed a giant beetle.

The two insects exclaimed in unison, "Wow! Giant Peak, you've become so big and majestic..."

"Jufeng looks so good now, Xiong Er wants to grow that big and good-looking too..."

"6

""

The two insects chattered away, asking all sorts of questions. Zhu Yu was not impatient at all and patiently answered them one by one. After chatting for a while, he took Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Cai Ling and flew towards the "Fine-leaved Sword Fir" garden.

We soon arrived at the side of the mountain.

Zhu Yu hovered in mid-air, raised his hand and tapped lightly, and ripples spread out, revealing a passage as tall as a person.

The three insects and one spirit beast flew into the formation.

What comes into view are rows of "Fine-leaved Sword Cedars" that are about three zhang tall, with an appearance like carved topaz and leaves that are thin and sharp like swords. In the center of the "Fine-leaved Sword Cedar" forest, there stands a "Fine-leaved Sword Cedar" that is nearly five zhang tall.

You can see it when you get close.

Under the thick "Fine-leaved Sword Fir" tree, three snow hares, each as tall as a person and with snow-white fur, were fast asleep, sprawled out on their backs.

"These three little guys..."

Zhu Yu's eyes sparkled with a smile as he flapped his wings and flew down.

Perhaps sensing something amiss, the three Xue brothers opened their eyes simultaneously, rolled over, and looked around warily. When they saw Zhu Yu, they were momentarily puzzled. Xue Da, as if realizing something, exclaimed with delight, "Jufeng, you're awake..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Er and Xue San looked at Zhu Yu with suspicion, muttering in disbelief, "Giant Peak isn't that big or that beautiful..."

boom...

Xue Da frowned, clenched his fist, turned around, and without saying a word, punched them hard, knocking them to the ground. He grumbled, "Xue Da wouldn't mistake an insect..."

Zhu Yu's smile deepened. He sensed the condition of the three snow rabbits and confirmed that their physical strength was not damaged, but their progress was not significant. He breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He fell asleep so hastily that many things were not arranged in time.

This includes providing the three Snow Rabbit brothers with spiritual food and life stones.

He learned from Xiong Da and Xiong Er that the three Xue brothers had not left Baihua Peak for three years. In the early days, they had some high-grade spiritual food, but in the later days they only had ordinary spiritual food from wild giant peaks.

Of course, so are Big Bear and Little Bear.

Zhu Yu bowed apologetically to them and said, "Jufeng apologizes to you. You've worked hard these past three years."

1

"What's so hard about it?...

"Bear Big and Bear Two were also very puzzled."

They eat and drink well every day, sleep when they're full, and eat again when they're well-rested; they don't suffer at all.

They cultivated many "bear trees," accumulating quite a lot of bear honey, which is still very fragrant and sweet.

"what?"

Xue Da blinked, while Xue Er and Xue San looked blank.

Is it hard work?

The three brothers exchanged a glance and shook their heads firmly.

In the past, they lived a life that was far from good, not much better than a life of irregular eating habits.

Now they eat spiritual food every day and can eat their fill. If word got out, the snow rabbits in the clan would be extremely envious.

As for the "Life Stone".

At first, they would think about it from time to time, but after three years, they have long forgotten about it.

Seeing their reaction, Zhu Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What simple and honest insects, what spiritual beasts..." But while Xiong Da and Xue Da might not care, he couldn't help but care.

He didn't say much, but his eyes were full of satisfaction as he said, "You'll all go back with Jufeng later. Jufeng will treat you all well..."

"Is Kyoho going to hold a banquet?"

"Big Bear and Little Bear are full of anticipation," said Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

The three Xue brothers' red pupils lit up simultaneously.

"Yes, a banquet, a grand banquet."

Zhu Yu smiled and nodded, asked the three Snow Rabbit brothers some questions about the "Fine-leaved Sword Fir", checked them one by one, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. Then he turned around and ran towards the millipede native insectoids that had been isolated by the formation for three years.

Activate the formation.

On a dead tree, a group of black and gray millipede native insects were seen lying on it. As if sensing the fluctuations of the array, the millipede native insects lying on the dead tree raised their heads.

A burst of noisy buzzing voices rang out.

"Wow, what a huge bug..."

"It's so ugly..."

"It won't eat bugs, will it? I'm so hungry..."

"Bear Honey Bear Honey..."

'

'

"Great, full of energy!"

Zhu Yu opened his divine sense, his voice abruptly stopped, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the millipede natives who were almost able to be drawn into his body due to the isolation of the array, he hesitated for a moment and then gave up the idea of ​​accepting them as subordinate insectoid warriors.

It's not that I'm afraid they'll take over my territory in the future.

Rather, the time required to train new Zerg warriors is too long, and since they are not the same race, he might as well train new Zerg warriors who are also "Great Winged Wasps" rather than training subordinate Zerg warriors.

He asked Xiong Da and Xiong Er for some bear honey, poured it onto the tree trunk, and seeing that they were eating happily, he closed the formation and turned to leave.

The journey back to Jufeng Mountain.

"I wonder if Hanabishi has transformed into the mountain lord yet—"

Zhu Yu suddenly thought of Hua Ling and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

During the three years he was asleep.

The previous year, Hua Ling arrived as promised. Upon hearing that he was undergoing a slumber and transformation, she accompanied him for a day through the array, leaving behind a top-tier water-attribute spirit species called "Sea Heart Begonia" from a medium-sized tribe. She said that she would not come again next year, as she was about to transform into the mountain master, and then she left Jufeng Mountain.

Two years have now passed.

If Hua Ling successfully transforms into the Mountain Lord, it should arrive together with "Ye Lian Mountain Lord" in another six months.

"Six months—"

Zhu Yu felt both apprehensive and expectant. "Hanabishi is determined to become a great traveling merchant; she's bound to succeed—"

As he approached Jufeng Mountain, he forcefully suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Climb to the top of the mountain.

Then I saw Baldy directing his children and grandchildren to dry wild Kyoho grapes, Fire Tail burning paper to hold containers, and Blackie, Blackie and Whiteie, and other spirit beasts lying under the banyan tree to cool off and chat. I saw him, Cai Ling, Xiong Da, and Xue Da climbing to the top of the mountain.

Unlike Xiong Da and Xue Da, Huowei and Tutou were very familiar with Zhu Yu's aura. Recalling the strange phenomenon from the day before, they recognized him after only a moment of stunned silence.

They all stood up and surrounded them.

"Jufeng, you're awake—"

"Kufeng, you've grown so big, and your aura is so strong—"

"The Giant Peak is an insect of the Mountain Lord Realm, truly amazing—"

"Daddy, Daddy—"

, "

The spirit beasts happily praised Zhu Yu with their limited vocabulary, while the little hummingbird was more direct, circling around Zhu Yu and calling out "Papa, Papa" incessantly.

Looking at his good neighbors, Zhu Yu was overjoyed and raised his hand, shouting, "To celebrate Jufeng's transformation into a mountain master, let's have a feast!"

After saying this, he ordered Firetail to make a long table large enough to accommodate them, and then sent Baldy to call over the Black Warriors Black Soil, Hornless, and Black Skin.

He then flew to the banyan tree cave and took out all the fruits from the top-grade spiritual seeds he had nurtured in the past two years, including special superior spiritual seeds such as "Sea Siren Ulva", "Golden Peach", and "Flesh Ganoderma", as well as the dried fruit.

He quickly took stock of everything.

After he tended the fruit, the "Sea Witch Algae", "Golden Peach", "Fire Date", "Giant Jade Mushroom" and "Flesh Ganoderma" all had 360 fruits. However, because he was asleep and did not take good care of them, the fruits that eventually ripened were mostly around 310.

Its value varies greatly.

According to Hanabishi.

The "Siren Ugly Duckling" fruit has the effect of strengthening the soul, making it the most valuable. A high-quality one costs around 8,000 "Life Stones".

Then come the "Golden Peach" and the "Giant Jade Mushroom". The former is attribute-free and its fruit effect is to purify blood and qi and refine bones and muscles. The latter is wood attribute and its effect is to refine physical aptitude and has a chance to transform into a certain kind of physical spirit.

A high-quality 7,000 Life Stone.

But for spirit beasts...

Both are much more precious than the "Siren Utricularia".

Next is "Fire Date," a fire-type pet with the same effect as "One-Leaf Lotus," but with enhanced fire affinity.

Because they are so abundant, a single Life Stone is worth five thousand.

Then there is the special superior spiritual plant "Meat Ganoderma," which has the effect of building muscle and strengthening muscles.

A Life Stone worth two thousand.

of course.

These are all seeds that have had their buds removed, making them unsuitable for planting or cultivation into viable species; they are only edible.

In summary...

The total value of all the spiritual food is approximately nine million "Life Stones".

"As long as Firetail and the others are happy..."

Without hesitation, Zhu Yu took out all the spiritual food and dried fruit, looked at the spirit beasts watching the fire tail burn the table, chuckled, flapped his wings and flew into the "Five Elements Spirit Array".

Arrive at the array space where the "star chart" is placed and activate it by transferring spiritual power.

Strands of spiritual light rose, manifesting as a shimmering white vortex.

Zhu Yu immediately took out the two "divine power talismans" he obtained from Jia Twenty-Three, the "Fire Palace Flower Lord", as well as the mountain lord marks he obtained from the "Ye Lian Mountain Lord" and himself, and put them all into the teleportation vortex.

"With these two 'divine power talismans,' plus Qingji Xiaozu's 'divine power talisman,' we have three divine power techniques comparable to the 'Golden Core Realm.' If the 'Ghost Realm's' Nascent Soul stage still can't defeat the 'Stone Spirit,' hmph..."

Wait a moment.

After confirming that the teleportation was unimpeded, he left behind a divine thought and flapped his wings to leave the formation.

While he and his good neighbors were watching the fire tail cook the dining table and chatting, the bald man's descendants returned, but only the "red fire ants" who called themselves fire spirits came back. After asking around, they learned that the black soil and hornless ones had gone out to work.

"Did you go out...?"

Zhu Yu shook his head regretfully, but didn't ask any more questions. Thinking that he would leave some for them, he happily continued chatting.

Not long after.

A long, narrow table, shaped like a seven-colored glass, stood under the banyan tree.

A group of spirit beasts gathered on both sides of the long table, looking at Zhu Yu expectantly.

"The banquet begins..."

Without wasting any words, Zhu Yu immediately took out a spider silk bag containing spiritual food, opened it, and used spiritual energy to distribute the food to the group of spirit beasts.

Among them, Firetail, Baldhead, and other spirit beasts that followed him first had the most spiritual food piled up in front of them.

Next are the three brothers: Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Xue Tu.

Next are Bai Mao's parents, Bai Ling and Bai Yu, a couple who moved here not long ago.

As for the "Red Fire Ant" Fire Spirit.

Although he hadn't offered him any help, he had given him one of each type of spiritual food.

As each piece of spiritually potent food fell to the ground.

The spirit beasts were overjoyed and shouted "Generous Giant Peak!" in succession.

However, as more and more spiritual food was piled up in front of them, and they were familiar with each and every one of the spiritual food, when the "Moon Elf" was still around, she often told them about the preciousness of top-level spiritual species such as "Sea Siren Ulva" and "Golden Peach".

The spirit beasts were willing to accept one or two coins, but when ten or twenty coins were placed in front of them, they were immediately frightened.

Firetail looked at the spiritual food in front of it, especially the "Fire Dates," "Golden Peach," and "Meat Grass" which were very beneficial to it. It couldn't help but swallow and forcibly looked away, looking at Zhu Yu in the head seat, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

The other spirit beasts were just like it, wanting to say something, but afraid of hearing bad news.

Only the carefree little hummingbirds, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, and Xue Er and Xue San, picked out their favorite spiritual food and kept munching on it.

There is also a "red fire ant" whose eyes are completely fixed on food imbued with spiritual energy.

Zhu Yu quickly distributed the spiritual food worth nine million life stones. Seeing the worried looks in the eyes of the spirit beasts, he paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty of spiritual food on Giant Peak. Eat up!"

As if remembering something, she quickly said, "If you have anything you don't want to eat, you can exchange it with each other, or sell it, but don't sell it cheaply—"

After saying this, he told the spirit beasts the prices of spiritual foods such as "Sea Siren Ulva" and so on, which immediately shocked them.

"Jufeng and Cailing, go check out the new sacred site. You all enjoy your meal—"

Zhu Yu chuckled and nodded to Cai Ling beside him, then flapped his wings and flew towards the location indicated by the "Moon Elf" Xian Yue.

With his current level of mountain lord cultivation.

They soon flew out of the wild mountainous area and entered the "Moon Gazing Plain".

Looking down.

"Moonlit Plain" is a wetland that stretches as far as the eye can see.

It is teeming with birds and beasts, and its waters are scattered like stars.

It hasn't been flying for long.

He then saw the "White Wave River" that the "Moon Elf" Crescent Moon had spoken of.

A river connecting the wild mountainous region and extending to the Moon Gazing Plain, it is a hundred miles wide. The river water is turbulent, with waves rising and falling. Under the sunlight, it glitters silver and is a beautiful sight.

"The sacred land of Bailang River—"

Without deliberately searching, Zhu Yu looked around and found the sacred place mentioned by the "Moon Spirit" Crescent Moon.

Its vegetation is significantly more lush than that of the surrounding area.

Looking down from the sky, the spiritual land is an irregular oval shape, mostly located north of the river, with only a very small portion in the south.

And soon.

He then discovered the ferocious beast that the "Moon Elf" Crescent Moon had spoken of—
