Hermit in the Mountains

Ling Xuzi urgently retrieved the original design draft from his sea of ​​consciousness and made adjustments based on the current island size.

"Reporting to Master, after this surge of spiritual energy, the jade reserves within Mount Kuruo exceed one hundred million tons."

"The island of immortality can be paved with jade slabs, forming a winding spiritual canal, with spiritual water flowing through the entire island;"

"The spiritual water flows down the edge of the island like a waterfall, forming a spiritual lake at the bottom of the grotto-heaven world;"

"The evaporation of the spirit lake forms spirit mist, which rises and forms spirit clouds, nourishing the various islands."

"The spiritual energy in the cave comes from the outside world and flows into the spiritual lake from Changsheng Island, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave."

"Build a large, wall-less hall at the landing site so that Uncle-Master Huang Feng can meditate there."

"A jade palace surrounded by water on all four sides was built in the very center; the main hall was divided into front and back sections."

"The front hall of the Hall of Longevity is the preaching area, and the rear hall is the master's bedroom."

"A Jade Palace with Four Waters Returning to the Hall will be built on the edge of the island behind the Hall of Longevity, with an open courtyard where spirit orange trees can be transplanted."

"Just reserve a room for your disciple in Master Qingxuan's Jade Palace."

"A medicinal garden will be built on the far right side of the island, containing the Star Tree and the Three Lights Divine Pool."

"Build a treasure hall on the far left of the island to store all kinds of rare and precious materials and supernatural techniques."

A beautiful image immediately came to Gu Changsheng's mind. "Alright, we'll go according to your plan. Let's finish building the Changsheng Island palace first."

"Afterwards, I will assist you in relocating the innate spiritual plants from the outside world."

"You shouldn't squeeze in with Qingxuan either. The main hall will serve as your place for quiet cultivation; you can build it however you like."

"From now on, the palace will be under your management."

"I'll go out first. If you need anything, please let me know."

After saying that, Gu Changsheng's figure disappeared into the Realm of Immortality.

"Respectfully seeing off Master." Lingxuzi bowed with his hands clasped.

His spirit disappeared, and his mind returned to the original space of the cave. He then controlled his physical body to fly into the Kuru Mountain and devour the jade ore.

Jade slabs were slowly laid out on Changsheng Island, arranged in a staggered pattern, with jade steps and a winding spiritual canal...

As soon as Gu Changsheng returned to the Changsheng Palace in the outside world, a massive amount of pure spiritual energy surged into the Dao Tree.

"Is it Xiao Wu's spiritual energy feeding back?"

Without much thought, the Pure White Lotus appeared and enveloped him, putting him into a meditative state.

Several hours later, Gu Changsheng broke through two minor realms in succession, and his cultivation reached the forty-third stage of withering and flourishing (the seventh transformation of the Dao Flower Realm).

After stabilizing his magical power, Gu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

This time, the cultivation boost is almost catching up with the opportunity of the spiritual energy tide.

That's what it feels like to have a cheat code—just one word.

Cool--

Unfortunately, this kind of support only happens once; afterwards, it's just a steady stream of support.

Only someone like Ling Xuzi, whose foundation leaps to the embryonic level of a primordial treasure, could possess such a strong power of feedback.

He eagerly anticipates how much cultivation Lingxuzi will return to him when he begins to take shape.

When a primordial treasure takes shape, it will be a qualitative leap, and the resulting feedback to creation is something that cannot be sought after.

Gu Changsheng was considering whether to follow Ling Xuzi's path for the remaining four personal disciple slots.

When re-condensing the Dao Seed, elevate its root to the level of a top-tier innate spiritual root or an innate supreme treasure.

The eldest disciple belongs to the category of innate spiritual roots;

The second disciple belongs to the category of innate spirit beasts;

The third disciple belongs to a special type of spiritual being;

The fourth disciple belongs to the category of innate Daoist bodies;

The fifth disciple belongs to the category of innate spiritual treasures.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that none of his disciples belonged to the same category; they came from all sorts of races.

Plants, Beastmen, Spirits, Humans, and Unnamed Races.

The herbaceous family includes all plants;

The Orcs include birds, beasts, and sea creatures;

The Spirit Race includes energy life forms and elemental life forms;

Unnamed race (a race for which I can't think of a better way to describe it.)

It seems there are no more major types of races left for him to collect. (Fellow Daoists, please lend me a hand.)

"If you find a suitable disciple, just take him on as your apprentice. Why worry about this?"

Muttering to himself, Gu Changsheng looked at the "Human Emperor's Seal" on the jade platform to his left.

He probed into it with his divine sense, and a dense aura of fortune rushed towards him.

He saw nine faint lines of cause and effect, spanning the void and connecting the nine chosen ancient cities.

Within the space of the "Human Emperor Seal," the Qi (vital energy) is simultaneously tempered, purified, and integrated, accumulating humanistic Qi for the purpose of consolidating one's position.

He can observe the changes in the fate, fortune, power, and luck of the nine candidates through the "Human Emperor Seal".

He can use this additional ability to judge the merits of each candidate;

Power and fortune cannot be faked.

The nine people are ranked every six months or a year, and the top three are awarded prizes.

In this way, they will feel a sense of urgency, and their power will develop faster.

He only needs to bestow some useless treasures to receive a return of fortune and a reward of merit;

You can only make a profit, never lose money!!!

We've won so much!

Rewards are given using the divine and underworld duties of the Heavenly Lord and the Earthly Lord.

hey-hey........

Don't take out the coins.

Using someone else's official position to do your own thing.

The Investiture of the Gods, the Seal of the Human Emperor, and the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls are used in a cyclical manner, forming a closed loop.

He is a true genius.

Each reward involves bestowing titles upon local deities, river gods, mountain gods, and underworld generals within their territory to help manage mountains, rivers, and spirits.

They built temples for the Earth God, River God, Mountain God, and City God.

This will also expand the number of worshippers, and it's officially certified by them.

It also aligns with the concept of Heaven, Earth, and Man, where the three realms jointly govern Heaven and Earth.

He only needs to sit behind the scenes to have a continuous flow of good fortune and merit.

He was unsure whether the Investiture of the Gods, the Emperor's Seal, and the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls would be requisitioned.

He should hurry up and recoup the merits, resources, refining costs, and management fees he has invested.

He doesn't want to make a losing deal.

He doesn't plan to include the Investiture of the Gods, the Human Emperor's Seal, and the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls in the Realm of Immortality, just in case.

The four peaks of Mount Kurong will soon be idle, which will be perfect for housing these three great masters.

The Treasure of Withering and Flourishing is brought into the Realm of Immortality. As for the movement of the Spirit Network's coverage area, what does that have to do with him?

Although Mount Kurong is about to be abandoned, it has a good foundation and can be used as an experimental field.

Setting up various spirit-gathering arrays and generating a single spiritual energy node is a simple matter.

Transplanting various common spiritual herbs and burying common spiritual ores can transform them into innate-level spiritual herbs and materials, which can then be brought into the Realm of Immortality.

Ordinary items will only deplete the resources of the grotto-heaven when brought into the realm of immortality, but innate spiritual items will not.

Innate spiritual roots and veins possess the ability to absorb and transform external energy, turning it into their own spiritual energy, which can then nourish blessed lands and grottoes.

It is still an immature innate spiritual root, but its potential has already been revealed and its unique characteristics have emerged.

Gu Changsheng no longer paid attention to the Investiture of the Gods, the Human Emperor's Seal, and the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, letting them grow on their own.

He should still focus his training on his own treasures.

Nurturing Ling Xuzi had exhausted his resources, and he still had the Law-Breaking Ruler to nurture, making his task very heavy.

The crafting of the Business Fortune Treasure also needs to be put on the agenda, lest something goes wrong and someone else gets there first, leaving us with no one to blame but ourselves.

He's not the only smart person in the world.

With a flick of his right hand, Gu Changsheng summoned the withered and flourishing spirit to his front, and he entered it with his mind.

The Dao Realm, the Hall of Longevity.

Gu Changsheng's illusory figure appeared in the Hall of Longevity. He used his mind to search the core database of the Spirit Network, looking for information on spiritual materials suitable for refining the God of Wealth Tree.

The Spirit Network is a huge information collection platform. As long as cultivation methods, spells, arts and crafts, and treasures circulate on the Spirit Network, they will be recorded, marked, and stored in the core database.

Only Gu Changsheng knew about the core database.

Information is also a core resource, and its nature remains unchanged in the cultivation world.

The upgrade of the Ku Rong Bao Token's grade cannot keep up with the expansion rate of Blue Star;

The Spirit Network cannot cover the entire globe;

The conversion of spatial power is insufficient, and the teleportation function cannot be improved for a long time;

These are all problems that Gu Changsheng urgently needs to solve.

Simply upgrading the grade of the Withering and Flourishing Treasure Token will probably never be able to keep up with the expansion speed of Blue Star.

Gu Changsheng thought of the virtual universe in "Devouring" and the illusory god realm in "Perfect"...

The Spirit Network is like the original version of the virtual universe, and the Dao Realm is like the original version of the illusory God Realm.

To achieve an unlimited coverage of the Spirit Network, it would probably be necessary to start with the soul, the virtual world, and the laws of spacetime.

Or it could be integrated into the laws of the universe of Earth, using those laws as an amplifier;

This plan is a bit like "throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever."

Gu Changsheng had a flash of inspiration; he thought of the World of Withering and Flourishing.

The cave world is still a world, possessing some of the power of laws; it is a miniature version of heaven and earth.

The cave world inherently contains the power of space and time. If the Withering and Flourishing Treasure Token is integrated into it, giving rise to souls and virtual laws, wouldn't that be an enhanced version of the Spirit Network?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it had potential.

The Cave Heaven World is derived from the Pearl of the Withering and Flourishing World;

The World Pearl of Withering and Flourishing is his natal object, which he has refined, and it is impossible for it to escape his control in the future;

Perhaps it can also accelerate the birth of the spirit of the cave by using the spirit network.

The spirit of the grotto-heaven, the spirit of the world, is essentially the Way of Heaven.
