After reprimanding his troublesome younger brothers, Di Jiang began to handle the affairs of the Qilin clan. With a thought, the Qilin Cliff sub-dimension, sealed by Space Law, appeared in his hand.
Next, Di Jiang arrived at the foot of Mount Buzhou, found a place rich in spiritual energy and with stable earth veins, and with a wave of his sleeve, the Qilin Cliff and its sub-dimension slowly descended, as if it had always grown there, perfectly merging with the terrain of Mount Buzhou. From then on, the Qilin clan settled anew at the foot of Mount Buzhou.
Di Jiang transmitted a message to the Fire Qilin, his voice echoing within the sub-dimension:
"Patriarch Huoyun, you have returned to Mount Buzhou. This place is the spine of the Father God, with spiritual energy and Dao rhymes far superior to other places. You can cultivate here with peace of mind, without worrying about external enemies. I hope you cherish this opportunity and do not squander the fortune of this ancestral land of Mount Buzhou."
Huoyun led the entire clan in thanks, his heart filled with emotion. Returning to Mount Buzhou held extraordinary significance for the Qilin clan.
After settling the Qilin clan, Di Jiang summoned his six younger brothers and sisters, including Xing Tian who was contemplating his mistakes, and pointed to the newly appeared cliff shrouded in auspicious energy at the foot of the mountain, saying:
"This is the Qilin clan. From now on, they will be affiliated with my Mount Buzhou. You must coexist peacefully with them and not bully or kill them without reason." As he spoke, Di Jiang gave Xing Tian a pointed glare!
Then, he pointed to the Gourd Vine that wound its way up Mount Buzhou, full of vitality and covered in Dao patterns:
"This vine is crucial for the defense of Mount Buzhou. You must guard it well and not let anything happen to it. In your free time, you may also move freely within Mount Buzhou, familiarize yourselves with every plant and tree in the mountain, and comprehend the Father God's Dao rhymes."
"However, without my permission, no one is allowed to step half a step outside of Mount Buzhou! The outside world is currently chaotic, with Great Powers emerging one after another. With your current cultivation and temperament, going out might cause trouble or lead to schemes. All of you will stay obediently on Mount Buzhou and focus on cultivation; that is the proper way!"
He said this primarily to Xing Tian and Hou Yi, who were more restless. Jiu Feng and Xiangliu were more steady, and Kuafu and Chi You were more obedient.
Seeing their elder brother's serious expression, the siblings knew there was no room for negotiation and responded in unison: "Yes, Elder Brother!"
After handling these matters, Di Jiang's divine sense habitually swept over the newly settled Qilin Cliff sub-dimension, especially its treasure vault. He had promised to protect the Qilin clan, but he hadn't promised not to touch their inheritance.
This sweep actually led him to discover a good item! It was a large hammer, entirely earth-yellow, with an ancient design, radiating dense Earthen God Hammer essence. Its aura was majestic, clearly a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
It was named the Earthen God Hammer! This hammer contained the pure Earthen Law of Wu Tu, was incredibly heavy, and with a single strike, it could mobilize the power of the earth veins, possessing unmatched ferocity.
"Earthen God Hammer?" Di Jiang's eyes lit up!
"The Wu Tu Law contained in this treasure is a perfect match for Chi You's Great Dao of Earth! Moreover, judging by its aura, it doesn't suit the Fire Qilin's attributes, so he can't use it either. There are no other Golden Immortals in the Qilin clan, so such a Spiritual Treasure would just be gathering dust in the vault."
Di Jiang felt no psychological burden. With a thought, the Earthen God Hammer silently disappeared from the Qilin clan's treasure vault and appeared in his hand the next moment.
However, he naturally had to inform the Fire Qilin about such a matter, and the Fire Qilin raised no objections, leading to universal joy!
With Chi You's Spiritual Treasure problem solved, Di Jiang returned to the Pangu Divine Hall and turned his gaze to the golden Bitter Bamboo in the corner of the hall. This top-grade Innate Spiritual Root exuded a bitter Dao rhyme and was full of vitality.
"Got it!"
Di Jiang had a flash of inspiration. Spiritual roots like Bitter Bamboo, with their branches, leaves, and essence all containing Innate Dao Rhymes and immense spiritual power, were excellent materials in themselves! Furthermore, he possessed the Five Elements Law, and had divine items like the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Three Lights Divine Water (condensed from the water control abilities of the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Banner) that nourished all things, making it easy to restore the Bitter Bamboo's depleted origin.
Coupled with the rapid growth characteristic of bamboo, this was simply a sustainable Innate Spiritual Treasure mine!
Only those from the harsh and cold lands of the West, like Jieyin and Zhunti, would directly dismember the Bitter Bamboo to refine it into the Six Pure Roots Bamboo, lacking any concept of circular utilization!
Di Jiang walked up to the Bitter Bamboo. First, he activated the essence of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and the spiritual dew of the Three Lights Divine Water, slowly nourishing the roots of the Bitter Bamboo to ensure its origin was sufficient. Then, he formed his fingers into a blade, imbued with a trace of the Golden Sharpness Law, and carefully reached towards the Bitter Bamboo.
A main branch about ten thousand feet long, entirely golden, with distinct nodes, exuding a Dao rhyme of toughness and purity, was broken off by Di Jiang. Immediately after, Di Jiang precisely plucked off dozens of lush green bamboo leaves, their edges shimmering with sharp light.
The Bitter Bamboo, having a part of its origin taken, trembled slightly, but under Di Jiang's continuous nourishment of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Three Lights Divine Water, that small depletion was instantly replenished. New buds were even beginning to sprout at the broken end, showing astonishing recovery speed.
Di Jiang took the branch and dozens of leaves and began simple processing.
For the main branch, he did not make many changes, merely refining it slightly with his own pháp lực to stimulate its inherent toughness and purity Dao Rhyme, making it more solid. Finally, a golden, heavy, and tough staff took shape!
Its grade reached the Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level! Although not as good as the Earthen God Hammer, its unparalleled toughness, inherent ability to ward off evil, purity, and immense power made it perfect for a brute like Kuafu who followed the path of strength.
"This staff shall be called the Slaying Might Bamboo Staff," Di Jiang casually named it.
Next, Di Jiang processed the dozens of bamboo leaves. These leaves were already thin and sharp, containing the Bitter Bamboo's purity and sharpness Dao Rhymes. Di Jiang divided them into seventy-seven, forty-nine pieces, refining each one slightly to make its edges sharper and its trajectory more unpredictable. Finally, these forty-nine bamboo leaves transformed into forty-nine thin-as-cicada-wing, golden flying darts!
Each one was a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level! While the power of a single dart might not be top-tier, when all forty-nine were unleashed, they covered the sky, specifically designed to break through protective divine lights, insidious and cunning, perfectly suiting Xiangliu's effeminate and treacherous combat style.
"This set of flying darts shall be named Returning Darts."
As for Xing Tian, who was still contemplating his mistakes? If he wants a Spiritual Treasure, he can ask for a hammer! It's useless even if he asks me!
Di Jiang temporarily placed the newly refined Slaying Might Bamboo Staff and Returning Darts on the spiritual energy nodes around the Bitter Bamboo, allowing them to absorb the Dao Rhyme and spiritual energy from the Bitter Bamboo's main body to complete their final nurturing and evolution, making them more compatible with Kuafu's and Xiangliu's Great Dao.
After completing all this, Di Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Spiritual Treasure problem for his six younger siblings, except for the punished Xing Tian, was finally preliminarily solved! Although the quality varied, each person now had a decent artifact to protect themselves, and his reputation as an elder brother was preserved.
Di Jiang then went to another prepared Spirit Soil area and carefully planted the Yin-Yang Banana Tree obtained from Kunlun Mountain, irrigating it with spiritual spring water.
Immediately, he sat cross-legged beside the banana tree, comprehending his own Yin-Yang Law by drawing upon the Yin-Yang Dao Rhyme emitted by the banana tree, while simultaneously circulating his pháp lực and expending resources to accelerate the cultivation of the banana tree, hoping it would mature completely soon so he could hand it over to Jiu Feng.
A temporary peace finally settled within the Pangu Divine Hall on Mount Buzhou. With his siblings occupied with their own tasks, Di Jiang could finally calm down and focus on his own cultivation and schemes.
