Chapter 1775 Knowledge is wealth

Song Shuhang suddenly got a strange idea.

What would it look like if the Inner World absorbed this stone milk? Would it be able to become a living creature?

Taking a step back, even if there weren’t any changes to the Inner World, there should at least be some changes to the lotus flower projection after it absorbed a portion of the stone milk, right?

If the Inner World can really become a living creature, perhaps it won’t be as cowardly in the future. This was Song Shuhang’s wish.

In fact... Song Shuhang knew that it wasn’t the Inner World’s fault that it was so quick to cower every time. It wasn’t that their camp was weak; it was the enemy that was way too strong. As soon as those big shots made their appearance, the first thing they did was to block all spatial-type magical treasures and abilities, using their own various means to lock the space and prohibit anybody from using spatial means to leave the area. This created the illusion of the Inner World being the first to run every time.

Nevertheless, taking another step back, even if the stone milk couldn’t affect the Inner World or the lotus flower projection, would it be able to make the Inner World evolve?

The lotus flower projection was very restrained in its absorption this time, stopping after absorbing a small portion of stone milk. Afterward, it retracted its tentacles, and went to silently float in front of Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang looked expectantly at the lotus flower projection, while also paying attention to any changes to the Inner World.

After a long while...

Nothing happened to the lotus flower projection, and the same went for the Inner World.

Soft Feather said, “Nothing happened, Senior Song.”

Song Shuhang calmly said, “Mm-hm, I can see that, Soft Feather.”

It seemed that that portion of stone milk just now was wasted. If this portion of stone milk were divided into ‘drops’, there would have at least been several hundred drops... If it were exchanged for spirit stones, that was one very large amount of spirit stones.

It made his heart ache a bit.

He looked at the stone milk in the small pond, and thought to ask a question. “Right, Dragon Network Assistant, does all of the stone milk here belong to me?”

“In order not to affect the Black Dragon World, only half of what is available can be given to Administrator Tyrannical Dragon,” the Dragon Network Assistant replied. “If Administrator Tyrannical Dragon wants a little more, then that will have to be in exchange for some of the magical beasts and spirit plants.”

“That’s fine by me.” Song Shuhang shook his head. Half of the stone milk in the small pool was already enough for his needs.

At this time, Soft Feather curiously asked, “Right, Dragon Network Assistant, if a human were to drink a drop, what would happen?”

She was quite curious as to what effect it could have on her, and wanted to try it out.

The Dragon Network Assistant sincerely prompted, “It is advised to avoid doing such a thing. Information on this subject is insufficient, and the consequences cannot be calculated.”

Soft Feather thought for a while, and then asked, “Can you give me some stone milk? I’ll take it back and let my life-bound monster pet try it.”

The Dragon Network Assistant glanced at Soft Feather and nodded. “Miss Soft Feather has helped Administrator Tyrannical Dragon a lot this time, so I can give Miss Soft Feather a bottle of stone milk.”

When did I help Senior Song? Soft Feather looked confused.

Although she didn’t know what she had helped Senior Song with, she still thanked the Dragon Network Assistant politely. “Thank you, Dragon Network Assistant.”

After saying that, Soft Feather reached out, and gently patted the little Dragon Network Assistant. “You are the cutest assistant.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Miss Soft Feather,” the Dragon Network Assistant replied solemnly. Then, with a wave of its hand, a small bottle appeared, was filled with stone milk, and then given to Soft Feather.

Song Shuhang saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and he reached out and touched the head of the Dragon Network Assistant. “The Dragon Network Assistant is really the cutest.”

“Administrator Tyrannical Dragon, no matter how much you praise me, I will not praise you back,” the Dragon Network Assistant said seriously—it did this because Administrator Tyrannical Dragon had previously commanded it to do so. Hence, before that command was revoked, it would not praise Administrator Tyrannical Dragon again.

“...” Song Shuhang.

??????

With the assistance of the Dragon Network Assistant, Song Shuhang extracted the rest of the ‘stone milk’ that belonged to him, and transferred it to the ‘Inner World’.

The Inner World Assistant had long been ready, and it had even prepared a stone pit beside the core living spring for the stone milk to be placed in.

Song Shuhang’s consciousness entered the Inner World, and took a look at the new setup of his Inner World.

With the hard work of the Inner World Assistant, the layout of the entire Inner World had become a lot tidier. In addition, along with the improvement of Song Shuhang’s strength, the Inner World was also evolving simultaneously, and even the core living spring was changing.

The core living spring was gradually being divided into two levels. The upper layer was a ‘living spring’ that was constantly gushing out, while the lower layer was the living spring Pavilion Master Chu was soaking in. Beside the lower layer of the living spring pond, there was Song Shuhang’s predetermined disciple, the monster tree Miruru, as well as a Seven Colors Wonder Fruit sapling.

Song Shuhang’s consciousness swept over Pavilion Master Chu.

Pavilion Master Chu’s body had grown again. Previously, her body had only grown to her collarbone, but now even her shoulders had formed. If one were to ignore and not look at the bottom of the pool, Pavilion Master Chu, who was floating above the water with her shoulders revealed, looked very attractive.

At this time, she was soaking in the water of the living spring, looking curiously at the changes in the Inner World and the busy Inner World Assistant in the sky.

As Song Shuhang’s consciousness passed by, Pavilion Master Chu raised her head, and looked up with her eyes. With her realm, she could naturally sense Song Shuhang’s consciousness scan over her.

Song Shuhang quickly shifted his consciousness.

At this moment...

Senior Turtle crawled slowly from a distance, and arrived at the side of the living spring. With Lady Onion having been out the past few days, Senior Turtle had become idle and bored, so it would often come over to chat with Pavilion Master Chu.

Senior Turtle and Pavilion Master Chu getting along was beyond Song Shuhang’s expectations.

To be honest... Their two camps should have been enemies in the ancient era.

But thinking about the relationship between the Great Northern Emperor and Cheng Lin, with their relationship having gotten straightened out, it no longer seemed off for the two camps to become ‘allies’ now.

Regardless, the relationship between these seniors was as messy as tangled earphone cables.

“Would you like some tea?” Senior Turtle sat up like a human, holding a teacup with its forelimbs.

“No, thanks,” Pavilion Master Chu said. “Now that I only have a head left, soaking in spring water all day... I don’t feel like drinking anything at all.”

Blowing bubbles had become her only source of joy.

“That’s true,” Senior Turtle responded, and suddenly asked mysteriously, “Pavilion Master Chu, would you like to apply a face mask?”

“???” Pavilion Master Chu.

Senior Turtle said, “I tried it myself, and its effects were pretty good. After using it on myself, I found it quite comfortable.”

Pavilion Master Chu thought for a while, and then replied, “Alright.”

Although she was an Immortal, and, theoretically speaking, these things were completely useless, theory was theory, and theory could not always be applied to reality. Theoretically speaking, a woman would be just fine wearing only three sets of clothes throughout an entire season, but would a woman actually buy only three sets of clothes?

Senior Turtle stretched out its forelimbs, and took out a box of dark green masks, each exuding a faintly refreshing fragrance. They looked pretty good.

Pavilion Master Chu asked curiously, “What mask is that?”

Senior Turtle replied, “An onion sprout seaweed mud mask.”

Pavilion Master Chu praised, “Innovative.”

With a wave of her hair, she flexibly took a mask from Senior Turtle, and applied it evenly on her face. At the same time, a mask was also applied on Senior Turtle.

An Immortal and a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender began to talk about all kinds of things, both with green facial masks on.

“...” Song Shuhang.

What was he supposed to do at this time?

Senior Turtle said, “Shuhang has recently transferred a lot of spirit plants into the Inner World, many of which are suitable for facial masks. After he cultivates them in large quantities, I’ll ask for some for experimentation on new facial masks.”

Pavilion Master Chu raised her head, and asked, “Shuhang, are you going to cultivate large batches of spirit plants?”

Senior Turtle asked, “Shuhang’s consciousness is in the Inner World?”

Song Shuhang replied, [Yes, Seniors.]

Senior Turtle shyly held the facial mask on its face with its forelimbs. “Aiya, did you already find out about my application of facial masks?”

“...” Song Shuhang.

I found out a long time ago, Senior Turtle. And I even know you use Lady Onion’s green onion sprouts to make facial masks.

Pavilion Master Chu asked, “Have you found suitable spirit plant masters?”

“Not yet, I’m not that fast,” Song Shuhang said. “I plan on asking the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group if they know where I can hire a batch of spirit plant masters for a transitory phase when I get back this time. During that transitory phase, I plan on figuring out how to nurture a batch of my own spirit plant masters and beast taming masters.”

Pavilion Master Chu said, “You can leave the raising of spirit plant masters to me. You can just be responsible for selecting suitable and reliable candidates, then I’ll take care of them for you.”

She had been staying in Song Shuhang’s Inner World’s living spring for so long, and wanted to find something to do… Conveniently, this could serve as her rent as well.

Senior Turtle said domineeringly, “Unfortunately, I’m not that well-versed in spirit plants or beast taming, so I can’t help you in this regard. However, if the newcomers are disobedient, I can educate them for you.”

Song Shuhang thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up. “Okay, then I’ll be troubling Pavilion Master Chu with the matter of raising spirit plant masters. In addition, if I were to hire some spirit plant masters, would Pavilion Master Chu be willing to provide them with some pointers?”

He was planning on hiring spirit plant masters from the forces that Senior Yellow Mountain, Senior Spirit Butterfly, Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, and other seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were a part of.

And he might also hire some of the disciples from the sects which Fairy Lychee, Great Master Profound Principle, Senior Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark, and other seniors were a part of. At that time, if Pavilion Master Chu was willing to give pointers, these spirit plant masters would definitely benefit greatly—an Immortal personally providing pointers on cultivating spirit plants was an opportunity that was very hard to come by.

…And if he used that as a selling point, he should be able to draw a wave of spirit plant masters who were willing to work for free. And if they weren’t among those related to the group, he could even ask them to pay a tuition fee for working with him.

The more Song Shuhang thought about it, the more beautiful it appeared to him.

Succeeding Doudou, Song Shuhang’s merchant soul had also begun to awaken.

However, Doudou’s merchant soul had awakened because of interest, but Song Shuhang’s merchant soul was completely driven by his being ‘poor’.

Pavilion Master Chu rolled her eyes. “I am bored anyway, if I am in a good mood, I can provide them with some pointers.”

Song Shuhang grinned, and said, “Thank you, Senior Chu.”

Knowledge is wealth, and an elder in a family is akin to a treasure, this saying is indeed true.

He couldn’t wait to meet the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group and deceive— no, bring the good news of an ‘Immortal Personally Providing Pointers on Cultivating Spirit Plants’ to them.

After their conversation, Song Shuhang’s consciousness got ready to withdraw from the Inner World.

But then at this time, the lotus flower projection suddenly took the initiative to return to the Inner World. Afterward, its countless roots spread out, spreading across the sky of the Inner World.

Then, it severed all of its roots on its own.

“?” Song Shuhang.
