Chapter 376: Chapter 328: Grotto Heaven Blessed Land (Part 2)
Tuoba Wugou was full of surprise in her heart, she quickly moved and continued to patrol around Azure Dragon Peak.
Soon, she discovered several Spirit Grasses!
"Purple Monkey Flower!"
"Hundred Flowers Poison Grass!"
"Three-leaf Spirit Fruit!"
"Forget-worry Flower!"
"Hiss... this is Unity Orchid!"
"All of them are Spiritual Medicines with decades of potency, and they all show signs of habitation..."
Tuoba Wugou marveled in her heart, thinking: "This Azure Dragon Peak is indeed what Emperor Zhengyong left for our Tuoba Clan!"
"It’s not just verbal alliance, but the entire mountain, and even all the Spiritual Medicines on the mountain have been given to us!"
"Such grand generosity..."
Tuoba Wugou was filled with shock and admiration in her heart, is this the Emperor, the Son of Heaven?
She suppressed the shock in her heart and continued forward.
Soon she reached the top of Azure Dragon Peak, where surprisingly there were at least two to three hundred people busy working.
By their appearance, they seemed to be constructing towers and palaces.
Deep within Azure Dragon Peak, could it be that two rows of palaces have already been completed?
"Who’s there?"
The soldiers guarding here quickly noticed Tuoba Wugou and came over to inquire.
Tuoba Wugou took out her Token, and the soldier immediately stopped, respectfully saying: "So it is the Noble Lady, how may I assist you?"
With a thought, Tuoba Wugou pointed to the busy people and asked: "What are they doing?"
"Oh, they are craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, ordered by Your Majesty to build palaces here."
"Palaces? What kind of palaces?"
"I don’t know either."
The soldier shrugged: "This project has been underway for nearly half a year. I heard it’s for building palaces for Immortals."
"There’s a strict order from above to construct five different palaces by the end of the year, to accommodate over three hundred people."
"If not for the Imperial Guard assisting, solely transporting stone and wood materials would be difficult!"
"Five palaces, accommodating three hundred people, this..."
Tuoba Wugou murmured, her eyes full of admiration.
"Noble Lady, do you have any other instructions?"
She shook her head and said: "If anything comes up, I’ll reach out to you again."
"Yes!"
Glancing once more at the group of workers, Tuoba Wugou made her way to the rear hills of Azure Dragon Peak.
This place was the highest point of Azure Dragon Peak, from where Celestial Longevity Mountain could be seen.
Mists hung thickly, as if she were in the Immortal Realm.
Looking far ahead, the sea of clouds surged; the hidden and looming peaks resembled sleeping dragons.
In the distant sky, rays of sunshine intertwined in red and blue, breathtakingly beautiful.
The mountain peaks stood tall and majestic, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a flowing painting.
From high vantage points, feeling carefree and joyous, the magnificent scenery of Azure Dragon Peak made one forget worldly worries, desiring only to bask in the embrace of nature.
As darkness fell, Tuoba Wugou finally departed from Azure Dragon Peak and arrived at Fairy Peak.
This place, like Azure Dragon Peak, was also granted to their Tuoba Clan by Zheng Yi.
Browsing through, she found the situation of this peak almost identical to Azure Dragon Peak.
The diverse Spiritual Medicines on the mountain were left unattended, allowing them to grow freely.
Some of the Spiritual Medicines had already been discovered by small beasts, building nests there and instinctively guarding them.
Some Spiritual Medicines were maturing, surprisingly eaten halfway by unknown small beasts, which saddened Tuoba Wugou.
On the mountain peak, there were also dozens of people constructing palaces.
However, it seemed the project here had finished, leaving only a few dozen people doing the final cleaning work.
She didn’t disturb them but took a deep look before turning to leave.
Soon, she reached the foot of the rear hill of Fairy Peak.
Here, there was a Spirit Pool.
A waterfall hundreds of meters high descended from the sky, crashing onto rocks and the ground, creating thick water mist and vapors, remarkably beautiful.
This pool covered hundreds of acres, its shimmering surface momentarily giving Tuoba Wugou a sense of being home.
The surface of the lake was filled with dense Spiritual Qi.
Upon closer look, several small fish occasionally appeared in the lake.
The scales of the small fish were clear and bright, clearly of the Spirit Fish variety.
"Hiss..."
Tuoba Wugou took another sharp breath, pondering how much Emperor Zhengyong had invested to win over their Tuoba Clan, or perhaps Tuoba Qingying.
Just one mountain alone was worth far more than their Yunmeng Marsh.
Much less two mountains!
For a moment, she felt an impulse to immediately agree to Emperor Zhengyong.
"Hoo..."
"For those who cultivate, stability is of utmost importance."
She murmured, then sat cross-legged, forcing herself into a cultivation state.
Soon, strands of dense spiritual qi began to seep into her body according to the cultivation technique, then transformed into magical power.
In the state of meditation, time flowed swiftly.
An unaware Tuoba Wufeng found upon opening her eyes, that a layer of moisture had already settled on her body.
The sky had also dimmed somewhat, with the distant horizon faintly lighting up as the sun was about to rise.
With a slight sensing, her expression changed slightly.
Time had already passed for five days!
This means that her meditation this time had astonishingly lasted five whole days!
This duration was truly terrifying.
If there were any ill-intentioned people around, she would be in trouble.
But this also indirectly proved that this place was extremely suitable for cultivators to practice.
On usual days at Yunmeng Marsh, the most she could meditate was no more than three to five hours.
Soon after, her cultivation would be interrupted due to a lack of spiritual qi or other reasons.
But now...
She could actually meditate for five days and nights in one go.
If this became known, it would drive many people mad!
Moving her divine thought, she introspected herself.
The seventh-layer qi cultivation had increased somewhat, and her magical power had grown even more robust.
If she continued this way, she was confident she could make a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage!
The only thing lacking was the Foundation Establishment Pill.
But there was no need to worry, as she had discovered several necessary spiritual medicines for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill on her way here.
Given time, after numerous experiments, she would surely refine the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Tuoba Wugou had already made up her mind, then stood up, gazing towards the east.
The eastern sky gradually took on a fish-belly white, through which a faint red glow emerged in the mist.
On the distant mountain peaks, everything seemed gently awakened by the soft morning light. The grass sprouting from the cracks in the rocks sparkled with gem-like dewdrops.
A gentle breeze swept through, carrying the freshness of the mountain forest and the fragrance of the earth.
Now standing at the edge of the Spirit Pool, her nostrils were filled with the rich taste of moisture and spiritual qi, refreshing her entire being.
The eastern sky was gradually tinged with layers of orange-red, flowing like molten gold, as if a painter was freely wielding brush and ink, uninhibited and carefree.
The sun had not yet shown itself, but its powerful life force was already palpable, concealing boundless heat and light.
Suddenly, the sound of chatter reached her ears. Tuoba Wugou looked up to see a group of birds singing happily as they started their day; some soared high, some leapt among the branches, seemingly welcoming the new day too.
Strangely, several of the birds actually stood on branches, tilted their heads, and looked at her, not scared at all.
In their eyes, there seemed to appear a hint of human-like light, as if they were saying something.
Spirituality.
These birds had astonishingly awakened spirituality, becoming similar to spirit beasts.
How terrifying!
In Great Yu, the path of immortality had long been severed, yet not only was the spiritual qi abundant at Celestial Longevity Mountain, but it also seemed to give birth to spirit beasts.
This place was truly a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land!
She took a deep breath, then set off down the mountain.
It was slow coming, but swift going.
Soon, her figure descended the mountain.
"Is this... Yuelong Palace?"
A majestic palace complex appeared before her eyes in the distance. Tuoba Wugou pondered for a moment and decided not to head there.
Yuelong Palace.
According to letters from Tuoba Qingying, this place was established by Emperor Zhengyong, specifically to nurture young cultivators.
It was said to be similar to a school in the mortal world.
However, in Tuoba Wufeng’s view, the heritage among cultivators was passed down not only through father and son bloodlines but also through master and disciple relationships.
How could cultivators rely on a teacher like in a school?
"Hmm? What is that smell?"
Tuoba Wugou’s expression suddenly changed. She sniffed lightly, noticing a strange medicinal fragrance permeating the air.
"Someone is refining elixirs!"
"Strangely, this medicinal fragrance... is it the Yellow Dragon Pill? No, it includes Golden Beetle Shell, and also... Iron Tree Flower? Plus unknown herbs..."
"What on earth is this person refining?"
Being an Alchemy Grandmaster who had once successfully refined two kinds of tier two elixirs, Tuoba Wugou knitted her brows, then headed towards the source of the fragrance.
"There is actually an alchemist here, and they are refining an elixir I have never seen before. I must go and discuss with them!"
With these thoughts in mind, Tuoba Wugou increased her speed.
"Yuelong Palace is truly extraordinary!"
