Without Subordinates, Everything Was a Hassle
Song Wen watched as Bai Jinge and Hu Rui led six women onto the White Rainbow Sky-Patrolling Boat- White Rainbow Sky-Patrolling Boat towards the distant horizon.
He suddenly remembered something: he hadn't yet obtained information about the Fengdu Poison Sea.
At that time, after Bai Jinge sent a message to the Heavenly Secrets Hall Purple Star Immortal Sect and requested information about the Fengdu Poison Sea, he hurriedly led him to the External Affairs Hall.
After renting the Bamboo-Hidden Ravine from the External Affairs Hall, Bai Jinge urged him to go Bamboo-Hidden Ravine. This resulted in the intelligence on the Fengdu Poison Sea not yet being obtained.
Song Wen was about to set off to chase after him, but then he quickly changed his mind.
Now that we've finally gotten rid of that shrew Bai Jinge, it's best not to provoke her for now. We'll go find her again after some time.
However, a Jade Slip suddenly flew out from inside the White Rainbow Sky-Patrolling Boat and headed straight for Song Wen.
At the same time, Bai Jinge's voice also reached Song Wen's ears.
"Before leaving Central Mu City, the Heavenly Secrets Hall had already sent me information about the Fengdu Poison Sea. We were strolling around at the time and forgot to give it to you, but I've recorded all the information in this Jade Slip. Also, remember you promised me you'd come to Central Mu City to see me, don't forget."
As soon as the words were spoken, the White Rainbow Sky-Patrolling Boat disappeared into the vast sky.
Song Wen shot out an Immortal Essence, drawing the Jade Slip to his face and probing it with his Divine Sense.
Perhaps because the Fengdu Poison Sea is too dangerous, no one has truly explored this forbidden place. The information in the Jade Slip is quite disorganized, but it also has a certain order, obviously a compilation of various pieces of information.
But this intelligence actually confirmed Jiang Wanyue's earlier statement—
First of all, the Fengdu Poison Sea does indeed contain a variety of spirit medicine needed to refine the 'Grand Clarity Soul-Nourishing Pill'.
Secondly, the poisonous miasma within the Fengdu Poison Sea is constantly changing, with no fixed safe zones. To survive, one must move to areas with relatively lower concentrations of miasma as its concentration changes.
Furthermore, the dangers of the Fengdu Poison Sea lie not only in the omnipresent poisonous miasma, but also in the presence of ferocious beasts and Yin Soul.
Furthermore, the intelligence report also included a topographical map of a small area in the northwest of the Fengdu Poison Sea, marking the locations where heavenly materials and earthly treasures and heavenly materials and earthly treasures names. Song Wen speculated that it was likely that whenever the miasma in the Fengdu Poison Sea weakened, members of the Purple Star Immortal Sect would travel to this area, allowing them to explore it in relatively detail.
"It seems necessary to venture into the Fengdu Poison Sea. If it proves to be extremely dangerous, we should retreat as soon as possible," Song Wen thought to himself.
Having made up his mind, Song Wen remembered that Jiang Wanyue had once told him to give her a timely reply, regardless of whether he decided to go or not.
Thinking about this, Song Wen began to consider whether he should go to Ink Wind City to see Jiang Wanyue.
But just as this thought crossed his mind, Song Wen suddenly felt a soreness in his lower back.
"Never mind, there's no rush."
Song Wen took out the Formation Plate, made two hand Method Formula, and immediately the transparent barrier emitted a misty white fog.
After a few breaths, the core area of Bamboo-Hidden Ravine was once again shrouded in mist, making it impossible for outsiders to see anything.
Song Wen entered a side room in the Heaven and Earth Treasure Hall, sat down on Meditation Cushion, and began to study the "Grand Void Sealing Heaven Restriction Formation" while refining his cultivation.
Three months later.
The mist in Bamboo-Hidden Ravine suddenly surged violently, spreading outward like a tide, engulfing the earthen slopes, the Small Courtyard and spiritual fields left behind by the Fat Monk and others, and extending for more than 5,000 miles before finally stopping.
Inside the side hall, Song Wen suddenly opened his eyes.
He has comprehended the "Grand Void Sealing Heaven Restriction Formation" and can manipulate it freely, thus enabling him to control the expansion of the array.
Song Wen emerged from the palace, ascended into the sky, and looked around.
The array's coverage expanded several times, encompassing an area of eight thousand miles. Although it did not cover the entire Bamboo-Hidden Ravine Basin, it included all areas containing Immortal Spiritual Qi. In this way, not a single trace of Immortal Spiritual Qi would be wasted.
Song Wen nodded in satisfaction, then looked down at the Purple Qi Bamboo on the two mountains below.
It's time to take stock of the ancient Purple Qi Bamboo in the mountains.
All the ancient Purple Qi Bamboo will have a silver stripe growing on its trunk.
However, these silver lines are so fine and faint that they are barely noticeable.
Song Wen scanned the entire bamboo forest with his Divine Sense, but found nothing—the old Purple Qi Bamboo was like a clay ox sinking into the sea when his Divine Sense probed it; he could not discern anything unusual.
The following day, Song Wen finally examined all of the tens of thousands of Purple Qi Bamboo and found five ancient Purple Qi Bamboo.
Without hesitation, he cut down all five Purple Qi Bamboo and stored them in his storage ring.
However, the number of Purple Qi Bamboos he cut down was not just five, but more than a thousand.
He discovered a large number of Purple Qi Bamboo infested with Ming Insects. These Purple Qi Bamboo appeared normal on the outside, but their interiors were riddled with holes and rendered unusable. If not cleaned up in time, the Ming Insects would spread to other Purple Qi Bamboo nearby.
What annoyed Song Wen was that all the Purple Qi Bamboos infested by Ming Insects were over a hundred years old. Unfortunately, Divine Sense could not penetrate the interior of Purple Qi Bamboos that were over a hundred years old. To find the Purple Qi Bamboos infested by moths, one could only check them one by one or tap the bamboo trunks.
Song Wen suddenly realized that without subordinates, it would be inconvenient to get things done.
We can't expect him to patrol the bamboo forest every few days, can we?
If that were the case, how could he concentrate on his cultivation?
With no immediate solution, Song Wen had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
He then flew up to the sky above the spirit field.
This spirit field, cultivated by the Fat Monk and his companions, was likely cultivated by the Fat Monk beforehand, who had harvested all the rare spirit medicine, leaving only some of less valuable spirit medicine.
The spirit fields cover approximately a thousand acres, which is sufficient for Song Wen's needs, saving him the trouble of cultivating additional spirit fields.
Song Wen pulled out all the remaining spirit medicine, and then took out the Spirit Herb Seeds given to him by Bai Jinge. There were four varieties of seeds, all of which were Immortal-Rank Spirit Medicine.
He planted a seed every ten square meters or so, and watered each seed with some spiritual liquid.
The elixir was also a gift from Bai Jinge; it was a specially concocted Immortal Medicine Liquid from the Purple Star Immortal Sect.
It took more than an hour to fill the entire spirit field. This made Song Wen realize even more that having no subordinates and having to do everything personally was truly a waste of time and energy.
"I'm already Lingxu Dao Immortal, yet I still have to personally cultivate spirit medicine!"
Song Wen chuckled self-deprecatingly, then left the great formation and headed towards Ink Wind City.
