Chapter 66 Food Needed
Next, Zi Ji took out several exquisite jade bottles, uncorked them, and a delightful aroma of wine mixed with the essence of hundreds of herbs wafted out. It was the spirit wine secretly stored by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"King of Ten Thousand Demons, this spirit wine is brewed with a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs. It is very beneficial to nourish the soul source of plant-type creatures, and it is said to promote the growth of spiritual intelligence."
Then Murasaki took out a bunch of art books published by human artists, as well as some painting tools and paints.
The demon kings also knew that they liked human paintings.
"Ahem," Xiong Jun barely suppressed the urge to snatch the roast chicken away immediately, "Mining... isn't out of the question. But we need more food! From now on, there needs to be plenty of this roast chicken!"
"I want roast chicken too," the three heads of the Red King said in unison.
The Demon King remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "We can only use herbs that are not old enough, but for the rest, we can use mature plants."
Di Tiandao said, "The spiritual herbs are beneficial to our clan. We shall obtain them as requested by the Demon King."
Zi Ji pushed the food, wine, painting collection, and painting tools in front of the three beasts, saying, "These are the first batch of samples. We'll settle accounts monthly from now on."
Thus, a strange sight appeared in the Starry Sky Forest:
On one side, Xiong Jun and Chi Wang were leading their people and the Lava Pangolin clan to mine;
On the other side, the Demon King led a group of plant-type soul beasts, searching for and collecting the medicinal herbs on the list with an almost artistic precision and care. He would even occasionally stop to observe the angle of sunlight passing through the gaps in the leaves, lost in thought.
Not far away, on a smooth rock, Di Qiu watched Xiong Jun and Chi Wang mining and encouraged them, "Uncle Xiong Jun is amazing! Uncle Chi Wang's fire is incredible too! Keep it up!"
Meanwhile, Zi Ji used a specially prepared large storage soul tool to sort and store these precious minerals according to the mineral atlas.
Deep within the forest, the Demon King's physical roots and spiritual network spread across a vast area, leaving no medicinal herb undetected.
Guided by Brigitte's precise list and motivated by "distribution according to work," massive amounts of minerals and basic medicinal materials converged on the human world beyond the Starry Sky Forest at an unprecedented speed and scale.
Di Tian was entrusted by Zi Ji to select suitable soul bones for Ning Tian Wu Feng. Even after the initial classification by year, Di Tian was still overwhelmed by the choices and needed to further subdivide them. The next step should be to further subdivide them by body part and attribute.
When Ziji left the core area again, the resources loaded in her storage soul tool were of immeasurable value.
Before departing, the Demon King also presented several seeds of the Demon Eye Tree originating from his own body.
"The spirits will immediately take root and connect with the trees surrounding the Spirit Pagoda."
He explained, "At that time, I will be able to remotely sense and monitor all movements around the Spirit Pagoda through them."
……
The morning after the Sea God Pavilion meeting on the Spirit Pagoda that morning, Li Ren, the Pavilion Master of the Medicine Pavilion, personally came to the Tang Sect's residence to pay a visit to Bi Ji.
"Your Excellency Huo Biling, the Sea God Pavilion has made a decision. Our Medicine Pavilion hopes to engage in full cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda!" Li Ren said directly and sincerely.
"To facilitate deeper integration between the two sides and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I, Li, have a request... May I humbly request that Your Excellency Biling assume the position of 'Vice Pavilion Master' of the Medicine Pavilion at Shrek Academy?"
Brigitte was not surprised by the academy's swift response, and she calmly poured Li Ren a cup of tea.
Seeing that Bi Ji's eyes flickered slightly as if she was thinking, he quickly explained, "Please do not misunderstand, Your Excellency. This title is by no means restrictive, nor does it require you to handle daily mundane affairs."
The Medicine Pavilion will also fully open its medicinal herb reserves to the Spirit Transmission Tower, allowing you to take what you need with priority. This... will greatly facilitate communication and cooperation between us.
Biji instantly understood Li Ren's deeper meaning. "If Elder Li is so hospitable, Biling would be ungrateful to refuse."
I accept the position of Vice Pavilion Master. I will do my utmost to explore the mysteries of alchemy with the Medicine Pavilion. Elder Li, please address Bi Ling as "young friend" as before.
After all, Li Ren had taken good care of her during her time at the medicine pavilion.
"That's wonderful!" Li Ren was so excited he almost knocked over his teacup. "Having young friend Bi Ling is a blessing for our Medicine Pavilion, and even more so for Shrek Academy!"
The cooperation agreement was reached with unexpected speed. That afternoon, the Medicine Pavilion officially announced this important appointment, causing quite a stir within the academy.
Everyone realized just how close the relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and the academy had become.
The first thing Biji did after taking office was to provide three improved basic pill formulas to the Medicine Pavilion. These three formulas alone raised the overall pill-making level of the Medicine Pavilion to a new level.
Meanwhile, Biji also set up an irregular forum in the Medicine Pavilion to discuss alchemy with the elders and outstanding disciples of the pavilion.
With the title of Deputy Pavilion Master of the Medicine Pavilion, Brigitte's movements within Shrek City became much easier.
……
As a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Zang's martial soul is naturally the Clear Sky Hammer.
Due to the restrictions imposed by his sect, he could not openly join the Spirit Pagoda, but this did not prevent him from carrying out orders from the divine realm.
He cleverly disguised himself as Wang Dong's distant cousin, using this identity to get close to him, and finally persuaded this proud young sect leader to consider joining the Spirit Pagoda.
Although Wang Dong was reluctant, he eventually gave in to the idea after considering the meaning of his two uncles as relayed by Tang Zang and the current popularity of the Spirit Pagoda.
She found Xiao Xiao, who was in charge of registration, and still had her usual reserved expression on her face, as if joining the Spirit Pagoda was a favor to her.
Looking at Wang Dong's "it's your honor that I, the young master, can join" attitude, Xiao Xiao felt a surge of anger.
She must have been blind to think this face was good-looking—although she has to admit now that Wang Dong is indeed good-looking, his personality is really not something to be proud of.
Even Xiao Xiao, with her illustrious background and extraordinary talent, had never been so arrogant.
"Wang Dong, our Spirit Pagoda only accepts members who are sincere in their commitment to joining." Xiao Xiao suppressed her displeasure and politely declined in a calm tone.
Wang Dong was taken aback at first, then felt a surge of embarrassment and annoyance, but remembering Tang Zang's instructions, he had no choice but to suppress his temper and say, "...Of course I'm sincere!"
The commotion attracted several classmates who had already joined the Spirit Tower and pinned badges on their Shrek school uniforms.
The Lan sisters, Susu and Luoluo, spoke first: "If you really want to join, why didn't you sign up immediately?"
Zhou Sichen bluntly stated, "With your personality, I'm afraid you won't even pass the tower entry test."
Cao Jinxuan tried to smooth things over, while Ma Qingshuang stood to the side.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Dong felt his face burning with rage and anger. Unable to stay any longer, he abruptly turned and rushed out of the crowd.
