128th Beast Tide 30
After waking up on Canglan Peak, Cheng Jiu did not leave the peak, but instead closed the door and lived his own quiet life.
The medicinal beads are very effective. The land where they were planted has already yielded a harvest. Moreover, because of Immortal Lord Qingxu's tribulation, these spiritual herbs have been more or less touched by the falling spiritual rain, making them of exceptionally high quality.
Cheng Jiu was somewhat reluctant to harvest the seed; he wanted to nurture it for a few more years, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.
Perhaps the value of these low-grade spiritual herbs will even increase; with this thought in mind.
Except for those medicinal herbs that were only of low age and those that were medicinal fruits, she picked them all and left the rest in the ground.
Time is the best investment. Perhaps she will not appreciate these elixirs in the future, but leaving them for future generations is a good opportunity.
Cheng Jiu thought that those powerful figures who left behind the herb gardens probably thought the same thing.
She cultivated another plot of land nearby and planted other medicinal herbs.
Looking at the fields she had cultivated, Cheng Jiu thought that if her master were to ascend to heaven one day, Canglan Peak might not be an iceberg on top and a forest below, but would be covered with fields of spiritual energy planted by her.
Isn't this just a fairyland transformed into a farmhouse?
For some reason, Cheng Jiu suddenly found it very funny and amused himself for a while before going to retrieve the Ice-Containing Spirit Jade.
Because of the ice spring, the Ice-Containing Spirit Jade became even more translucent, at least much prettier than before Cheng Jiu put it into the ice spring!
With nothing much to do and Cheng Jiu wanting to rest, and with his friends all busy with their own affairs and not bothering him, Cheng Jiu truly enjoyed a long period of carefree leisure.
When she wakes up in the morning, she practices swordsmanship first. Her master will bring her breakfast and then let her try on the robes he made. If they look good, she keeps them; if they don't, he will take them back to redo them.
During this time, he would also instruct her in swordsmanship. After practicing swordsmanship, she would practice physical training until lunchtime, which was still delivered to her by Qingxu Immortal Lord, who would also answer any questions she had during her cultivation.
With nothing to do at noon, Cheng Jiu chose to meditate for two hours.
Then they can go out to play, go skiing on the snow-capped mountains, go hunting in the nearby hills, or tend to the medicinal herb fields.
Cheng Jiu was from the South in her previous life and had never tried skiing before. When she first started skiing, she stumbled and fell to the ground, rolling into a snowball and heading down the mountain.
Xuanze was amused by his disheveled appearance. He thought, "How stupid! He's just skiing, and he's so clumsy."
Regardless of how Xuanze mocked him, Cheng Jiu actually found it somewhat amusing.
The extreme sensation of sliding and gliding gave Cheng Jiu a long-lost thrill.
So even though Xuanze mocked him, Cheng Jiu still enjoyed it immensely.
After dinner in the evening.
After carving the Ice-Infused Spirit Jade for an hour, Cheng Jiu went to bed.
Living a leisurely and contented life, Immortal Lord Qingxu was also engrossed in making clothes for his disciples.
So the master and apprentice stayed home and lived a secluded life.
Meanwhile, outside, as the ten altars scattered throughout the cultivation world were destroyed one after another, the beast tide also receded rapidly.
Without the temptation, the monsters, having regained their rationality, once again prioritized survival.
Without wasting a moment, they quickly dispersed and ran into the surrounding mountains and forests.
This massive beast tide thus slowly came to an end.
But the destruction caused by the beast tide did not end there, and subsequent resettlement issues followed.
For example, Qin Che, that unlucky guy, was completely distrusted by Nan Xingze who assigned him the task of appeasement.
So he switched his second junior sister out, and Qin Che took over his second senior sister's job, being kicked into the Spirit Book Library to organize the spirit books.
He then dragged Huo Yan, this great traitor, into the room as well. The room was filled with books, and Huo Yan still hasn't come out.
Meanwhile, after reporting his investigation findings, Immortal Lord Qingyang took his two disciples into seclusion. Rather than seclusion, it would be more accurate to say that he personally instructed his disciples.
Yao Feng's side is also anything but idle.
As mentioned earlier, due to the beast tide, most people had no harvest at all.
These people also need to eat, and the amount of grain they consume is enormous.
Now that the beast tide has ended, it will probably be three or four months before the next harvest, and the amount of food consumed during this period will be extremely limited.
Not everyone can abstain from grains, and the cultivation world is different from the mortal world; there is no concept of stockpiling food. And now, some cities are already experiencing food shortages.
The sect couldn't mobilize that much food, and since the sect was a celestial sect, apart from the children below the Golden Core stage who needed to eat, and the disciples of the Body Peak who nourished their Dao through food, everyone else practiced abstaining from grains.
After all, besides food, there are also fasting pills, so there are many ways to ensure you don't go hungry.
Even if both of these places were closed and all the food was collected, it still wouldn't be enough to feed so many people!
The Pi Dan is known as the easiest pill to refine; one pill can last for a day.
But no matter what, it's still a pill, and even if the disciples of Medicine Peak refine it day and night, they still can't meet that much demand.
It wasn't just the Guiyuan Sect leader who was having a headache; the other four sects were also experiencing food shortages to varying degrees.
This is also one of the lingering effects of the beast tide. Although the cultivation world has never experienced a large-scale famine since its development, they have a neighbor in the mortal world, so they know what kind of consequences such a disaster would cause.
The sect leader felt a headache coming on. Oh well, he wasn't the only one with a headache anyway. He'd wait for the other old guys to arrive and see what they did!
Cities destroyed by the beast tide also need to be rebuilt; we can't stay in medium-sized cities forever.
These cities can only accommodate so many people because of the beast tide. Once the beast tide ends, the first people the city dwellers will probably drive away are these outsiders.
These people's hometowns were destroyed by the beast tide, so they can't just wander around aimlessly.
He is ultimately responsible for handling all the issues that arise during the city's construction process.
In addition, there are the city lords and disciples who sacrificed their lives in the beast tide, and the subsequent issue of their compensation...
Sect Leader: I'm even more exhausted now.
He fell silent. Why did he have to become the sect leader? He clearly had senior brothers and sisters above him!
Turning his head, he saw Nan Xingze diligently correcting documents at his desk outside. He felt a surge of relief; thankfully, he had a good apprentice to serve him.
Then the documents on Nan Xingze's desk seemed to have grown quite a bit taller.
The Sect Master says it's all an illusion!
Because the main altar was located in Guiyuan Sect, the meeting place for the five major sects was also set in Guiyuan Sect.
Even though the sect had many affairs to attend to, in order to showcase the grandeur of the Guiyuan Sect to other sects, the sect conducted a thorough cleaning before the arrival of the other sects.
The previous chaos and decadence have been swept away, and the entire sect is now filled with a vibrant atmosphere.
The disciples who came and went held their heads high and chests out. Anyone who saw them would call them disciples of the immortal sect, well-mannered and respectful.
The other sects were promptly led to their assigned accommodations by the Guiyuan Sect upon arrival.
The Yunxiao Sect also brought their own treasured mirror this time, which can reveal the souls of the dead and be used for questioning.
The little fox girl and her mother, their souls trapped in their bodies, have special backgrounds and should know a lot of behind-the-scenes information.
Therefore, when Yunxiao Sect heard that it carried a Soul Mirror, they didn't ask any questions and just accepted it.
Although the matter concerns the entire cultivation world, we can't let them start discussing it on their very first day of arrival.
The fact that the sect leaders came this time shows how much they valued the event.
