Chapter 559: Chapter 511: Eating Herself Broke [Seeking Monthly Votes]
"Ahhh!"
Jiang Yuebai wailed to the sky, looking at the items she had retrieved from various places.
First, fortunately, the Five Elements Lotus Platform and the five Spiritual Artifacts were still there, though they were damaged to varying degrees, requiring some materials to repair.
Little Green, who had swallowed Dongqiao’s fragmented Primordial Spirit and merged with the Netherworld Ghost Lamp, was overall improved, needing some time to digest these things.
The Long-Haired Water Ghost, which Little Green had been carefully guarding, was also intact. The Imperial Decree Golden Book was placed inside the Long-Haired Water Ghost, thus avoiding being consumed indiscriminately by her due to hunger.
The Mermaid Silk’s Magical Robe and Fire Dragon Scale Armor were lost during the Heavenly Tribulation, and all the Spirit Stones on her body were consumed, not a single one remained.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but wail again.
The Eight Arrays Plate was destroyed by Tribulation Thunder; the Taihe Umbrella, Dragon Scale Dagger, Flying Core Boat, Earth Evil Slaughter Bag, Mystic Turtle Treasure Talisman, and Bai Jiuyou’s rarely used Ice Dragon Sword were all consumed.
She even gnawed on the Green Jade Bamboo Flute like sugarcane!
Only the Taiyin Fan and Cloud-Breaking Charge remained, but why didn’t she consume the Taiyin Fan?
Perhaps because the Taiyin Fan had sealed remnants of soul, and she didn’t wish to consume Human Souls?
It seems she still has some baseline of humanity; how dare that trash Fuyu say she has no baseline, humph!
Among the materials on her, besides the various Dragon Clan Essence Blood and part of the Dragon Bone safeguarded by Bai Jiuyou at the cost of his life, everything else like Phoenix Feather, Ten Thousand Years Phoenix Tree Wood, the last piece of Mermaid Silk, her self-made Dragon Soul Treasure Talisman, Dragon Armor Puppet, various Thunder Pearls, etc., were all consumed by her.
"Completely cleared out, hahaha... woohoo..."
Jiang Yuebai laughed and cried simultaneously, laughing because these items in exchange for a life ended up in her own stomach, transformed into a Chaos Body, which was worth it.
Crying because she was now so poor, she’ll have to sell blood, uh... she doesn’t have blood... never mind, that’s not important!
Next, she still needs to repair the Spiritual Artifacts, upgrade their grades, restructure the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, and she doesn’t know how many Spirit Stones that will require.
Bai Jiuyou still wants a new big hammer!
"Yes, also Jixiang, this fellow actually piggybacked on my Heavenly Tribulation to advance to Nascent Soul Stage, now it’s not just a regular Spiritual Rat anymore, should be called Heaven-Swallowing Rat?"
The three golden lines behind Jixiang changed into black and white double lines, able to consume even more compared to before.
Previously, in a daze, she almost consumed Jixiang, simply because, as she ate inside, Jixiang got too hungry and tried to go in to pick up her scraps but was caught by her.
Tree Dragon Hongye went in to rescue Jixiang, also getting pinched by her; fortunately, she restrained herself and didn’t eat these two.
The Little Demon, bee colony, and Spiritual Beasts in the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven were all still alive; the two Grass Dragon Eggs were well cared for by Jixiang, along with its mate and offspring.
The books and Jade Scrolls accumulated in her library had also been eaten, but those didn’t matter, as she had memorized them completely, and can write them out again when free to deepen memory.
The Cave Heaven was destroyed, items lost, but as long as a person is still alive, Jiang Yuebai doesn’t regret.
The only regret she felt was the Crescent Pendant given by Xie Jingshan, destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation; from a young age, she has carefully treasured items given by her sect companions, yet she didn’t feel the same when the Flying Core Boat and other things were destroyed.
Jiang Yuebai felt curious, unable to explain why post-Nascent Soul Stage her senses to Heavenly Dao felt deeper, giving her a feeling of something between her and Xie Jingshan being severed, prompting her to use Divine Infant to perceive Heavenly Dao, attempting to deduce the fortune and misfortune of this matter.
However, the deduction results were like Chaos Gray Mist, shrouded and unclear, difficult to discern fortune, time shifting places change, world affairs many changes, no matter how, as long as she knows her childhood friendship with everyone won’t change.
Taking a breath, then swallowing a mouthful of sand, Jiang Yuebai received the Five Spiritual Artifacts into her body, while tossing the other items under the Old Rong Tree at the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven.
Right, even the storage ring was consumed by her, unexpected huh!
"The two Spiritual Vein Pulses are still here, this Chaos Qi should change the environment here."
Jiang Yuebai attempted to draw a patch of Chaos Qi, sweeping over the desert-covered land, instantly sprouting verdant grass leaves, calming the wind and sand in the entire Cave Heaven significantly.
The Little Demon and Spiritual Beasts hiding under the Old Rong Tree cheered joyfully, sprinting out to frolic on the green grass.
Jiang Yuebai picked some grass with her hand, "So much Chaos Qi only covers one patch of grass, too wasteful, I better go outside and find a forest to pluck some stuff to bring in, save the Chaos Qi for cultivation. No idea how many years I’ve undergone Nirvana, better quickly go outside to see."
Jiang Yuebai held the grass, communicating with the Lotus Platform, instantly appearing in a dim stone chamber.
The grass in her hand transformed into Spiritual Energy and dissipated, just as Jiang Yuebai predicted, things converted by Chaos Qi could only exist within Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, not genuine creations.
"Where is this?"
Jiang Yuebai released Little Green, holding a glowing green lantern to illuminate the surroundings, the stone chamber was very dilapidated, webbed and dusty everywhere, resembling an Elixir Room, with one side being a bookshelf and Elixir Shelf, and the other being a Pill Furnace.
Jiang Yuebai expanded her Divine Sense, the stone chamber was in a very hidden place underground, outside it looked like the ruins of a sect, with mountains, rivers, grand halls, and spiritual fields all present, mostly ruins, while at that time several groups of people were distributed in different places searching and exploring.
These people’s cultivation levels weren’t high, all were Foundation Establishment, not a single Golden Core.
"I was clearly in the Green Dragon Realm’s West Sea, yet got thrown here, could this be a Small Secret Realm?"
During the time nursing Ao Juan’s injuries, she discussed Space Power with Ao Juan.
The Space Power surrounding Secret Realms and Small Worlds exists chaotically, potentially causing instances of being inexplicably sent from one place to another.
The Two Realms Transmission Array leverages this fact, using array formations in the transmission to stabilize space channels, ensuring transmission to fixed positions every time.
Of course, sometimes the Transmission Array malfunctions, sending people to the wrong place.
With no external threats, Jiang Yuebai wasn’t anxious to venture out, temporarily sealing the stone chamber.
Previously, when touching the Immortal Cultivation Panel, she noticed the "Dragon God Transformation" Skill Level far exceeded the required level for upgrade.
This must relate to consuming hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulated dragon corpses beneath the West Sea, only requiring her practicing a few times to convert these accumulations for her use.
Combined with her current Chaos Body, frequent use of Space Restriction, and even Ao Juan’s taught Space Great Array poses no problem.
Jiang Yuebai examined around for anything useful,.
Since she was impoverished, unable to produce even a single Spirit Stone, later when those treasure-seeking cultivators find this place, she might ’borrow’ some from them and inquire for news.
Positions herself at the Elixir Shelf, usually dusty brew many Elixir Bottles, casting the Dust Cleaning Technique, she simply checked, finding mostly empty bottles.
Removing a still filled bottle, Jiang Yuebai opened it placing beneath her nose to sniff.
"Stinky, Jixiang come taste."
Jiang Yuebai placed Jixiang on the Elixir Shelf, poured out a cyan pill for Jixiang.
Jixiang sniffed it, then opened its mouth to inhale, the pill falling into its mouth, swallowed whole without tasting any flavor, squatting down, holding its front paws, gazing wistfully at Jiang Yuebai’s pill bottle.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths, Jixiang’s Spiritual Energy grew increasingly vigorous.
"Seems non-toxic."
Jiang Yuebai clenched her empty stomach, opening her mouth, tilting her head back, pouring the entire bottle of pills into her mouth.
Jixiang: ...
And that wasn’t all, Jiang Yuebai finished the pills, Chaos Qi overflowed from her palm, swiftly converting the pill bottle to residue, absorbing clean.
Jixiang: !!!
Jiang Yuebai expressionless, "Our family isn’t affluent, this pill bottle contained some Spiritual Energy, cannot waste."
Jixiang collapsed onto the shelf flattening like a mouse pancake, tearful-faced, will it never even scavenge trash again?
Jiang Yuebai not did consume all Elixirs ’entirely,’ dividing those she recognized as useful for cultivation with Jixiang some.
Jixiang drooled emotionally, upon eating hastily gnawing empty bottles, fearful of Jiang Yuebai competing with it.
Indeed, the Elixirs felt to Jiang Yuebai very ancient-like, visually ordinary but unknown of age, surprisingly strong residual medicinal properties extant.
Moreover, minimal impurities present, notable some Elixirs even bore legendary Elixir Patterns.
After storing Elixirs, Jiang Yuebai searched the bookshelf, discovering numerous Ancient Elixir Formulas, yet only briefly glimpsed had exterior array breaking movements sound.
After securing the Elixir Formulas, clearing her throat, her imposing presence loomed vast as the ocean, surging outwards instantly rebuking,
"Who dares to disturb this sovereign’s serene cultivation!"
