Ball Ball Cultivation

It took a long time to find out what happened afterwards. By then, Gu Gu had already grown into a foodie.

Wang Jiang was a mortal who stumbled upon the path of cultivation by chance. His ancestors had been cultivators, and this distant cousin was a descendant of that lineage, blessed with spiritual roots, who had come specifically to recognize him as a relative. Lan Guoer was a Miao girl, where boys are given the surname Miao and girls the surname Lan. The clan leader is male, and the most powerful witches are usually women, known as saints.

Lan Lian is the Saint of their tribe. Lan Guoer is gifted and has the potential to become a Saint, but she is cheerful and uninhibited, often going out to play. By chance, she saved the seriously injured Wang Jiang. At that time, Wang Jiang was already a squad leader of the Duobao Pavilion guards, just one step away from the Jindan stage, and he worked hard to accumulate points in order to exchange for a Jindan.

A clichéd story of a beauty saving a hero. The two became Taoist partners. Wang Jiang also used his identity as a Miao son-in-law to exchange for many rare elixirs in this relatively exclusive Miao village. The points in Duobao Pavilion were enough to exchange for a golden elixir, and he successfully formed a golden elixir.

Wang Jiang lived in the secular world until he was fourteen or fifteen. After his parents passed away, he accidentally triggered a mechanism while worshipping in the ancestral temple, which enabled him to obtain a simple Qigong technique and enter the path of cultivation. Therefore, he still attaches great importance to many worldly concepts. He and Lan Guoer were usually quite affectionate, but unexpectedly, the appearance of a cousin from nowhere made Wang Jiang lose his sense of importance. Lan Guoer was also manipulated and forced into premature birth, which almost resulted in the death of two people!

Wang Jiang was intoxicated with a love poison, forcing him to fall in love only with Lan Guo'er. Lan Lian had also read Lan Guo'er's memory using the Golden Gu King. She was indeed a distant cousin, with no family left. Her words of enticement, asking Wang Jiang to recognize his ancestral roots, were meant to entice him, but she also intended to kill Lan Guo'er and make her dependent on Wang Jiang. After all, being the captain of the guards for a large merchant, Duobao Pavilion, was quite valuable. It was better than a weak woman like herself fighting for resources every day.

So she provoked Lan Guoer everywhere. She was already in a bad state of pregnancy in the late stage, and was stimulated to give birth prematurely. In a place like Duobao Pavilion, many rare medicinal materials can be easily exchanged. This cousin gave Lan Guoer a "tonic" that allowed the fetus to quickly absorb nutrients from the mother, causing the mother to die of exhaustion!

This is how Qiuqiu arrived! This is a common tactic used by many matrons, who keep the son and discard the mother, allowing illegitimate children to pave the way for their legitimate children. Lan Guoer, living in a simple environment, had no idea of ​​this. Wang Jiang, influenced by secular ideas, followed his cousin's advice not to enter the delivery room, believing that giving birth for a monk was not dangerous, so he had never entered. This matter is truly difficult to explain.

Ever since Qiuqiu came back with Gu Gu, he has devoted himself to practicing alchemy, making talismans and carving array plates. The children are also not vague and are looking for opportunities to earn more spirit stones.

After Qiuqiu successfully formed a pill this time, a new sea area appeared in the space, Huahua also grew a lot, and all the knowledge that the interstellar intelligence that it had swallowed but had not yet fully unlocked was unlocked.

Using interstellar technology, six artificial intelligences were created with the help of Bai Yi.

Huahua also helped Bai Yi finally reduce the cost of the communication jade slip to around ten spirit stones. The material cost was only three or four spirit stones, and the labor cost was five or six spirit stones. Five signal towers would need to be installed within a ten-thousand-mile radius of Duobao City, forming a large formation. Four would be placed on the tops of high mountains in the four directions, acting as contact points, with the center tower serving as the actual signal tower. This signal tower would cost at least 300,000 spirit stones, requiring the sale of many "cell phones" to recoup the cost.

Bai Yi still shared the credit for the communication jade and the spirit stone dividend with several elders. However, he built Taobao himself and asked the remaining elders, mainly the Pavilion Master and the eighth and ninth elders, to share the cost.

There are only three types of communication jade. The simple type costs 180 spirit stones each. It can be used to make calls or communicate at any time within a radius of 10,000 miles of Duobao Pavilion.

There's another option that costs 980 Spirit Stones. Besides the aforementioned features, you can also see and talk to the person on the other side, and buy items from the Duobao Pavilion directly on the communication jade. You can pick up your purchases directly in person, or have the puppet deliver them, though it costs extra Spirit Stones for delivery.

The third model, priced at 8,800 yuan, has functions similar to those of modern mobile phones.

There was also a special type, limited to the use of high-ranking officials within the Duobao Pavilion. There were a total of one hundred pieces, and the Pavilion Master and the elders were only entitled to use ten each. Finally, this type of communication jade was named Duobao Jade.

They also promised that within ten years, communication would be possible in all places on Pearl Star, without any distance restrictions. This was also the result of Bai Yi and Hua Hua's efforts.

Each signal tower was then turned into a signal transmitter, and finally a signal center transceiver would be installed at the highest point of Mount Everest. This was primarily directed by Huahua and implemented by Bai Yi, and it was unknown how many years it would take to complete.

The various materials used to build the formations are all spiritual materials that will not deteriorate for thousands of years, and if the Multi-Treasure Jade is not used frequently, it will not deteriorate even after ten thousand communications. This is a blend of two civilizations and is difficult to imitate.

A ten-thousand-mile communication talisman costs hundreds of spirit stones and can only transmit a single message. This Duobao Jade, which costs less than two hundred spirit stones, can transmit messages tens of thousands of times. While this has a limited range, for a cultivator, a ten-year retreat is only a matter of a single time. The current low price is due to the imperfect communication locations. Therefore, Duobao City, where the auction was about to take place, quickly gained a reputation.

Most monks bought simple styles so they don’t have to worry about getting lost after shopping together!

With the installation of the Duobao Pavilion signal tower completed, the Duobao Jade also flowed to the various branches below.

The Taobao website that was jointly established with the Eight-Nine Elders is also gradually being improved, and nothing else is online except for the common goods.

Each branch of Duobao Pavilion was equipped with an optical computer for backend processing, with the core controlled by the Pavilion Master and the nine elders, who controlled the core optical computer. With swift execution, the establishment of all branches was completed within a month. However, Bai Yi needed Huahua's help to refine the optical computer, which delayed the process a bit.

The Duobao Jade only requires the purchaser to leave a spiritual imprint before use. The fluctuations of spiritual energy form independent waves that can be identified. To contact someone, simply remember their spiritual fluctuations. Contact is simple! The fluctuations are encoded numerically or recorded as names or Daoist names. Even if the name is the same, the fluctuations will vary, eliminating the need for duplication.

Taobao was already booming before the auction! Even the once-a-century auction featured promotions for Duobao Jade. Taobao now held a monopoly on Duobao Pavilion, expanding rapidly. The items sold were all already in the store. Pickup was generally the norm, and Duobao Jade was still primarily used for communication.

What really opened up the market was the mercenary business.

A customer at Duobao Pavilion in Tianyao City urgently needed White Jade Spirit Mushrooms. After searching everywhere to no avail, the customer, who had a connection with the owner of Duobao Pavilion, asked him to issue a demand notice, advertising not only in the shop but also on Duobaoyu. Unexpectedly, someone saw Duobaoyu's request and, knowing where to find White Jade Spirit Mushrooms in Tianyao Forest, ventured to collect them for the high commission. The customer generously offered spirit stones, and the owner offered his assistance. In less than half an hour, a mercenary team was formed through Duobaoyu's influence. The owner of Duobao Pavilion, recognizing the enormous potential, immediately developed various team formations and mercenary sections. This led Duobaoyu to develop in a new direction, one that has never been reversed!

Qiuqiu is still working hard to make the elixir. Ever since being contracted by Qiuqiu, Gugu has been sleeping and absorbing the gifts received through the contract. After finally waking up, he is still very arrogant and does not contact his master. He does not even respond when Qiuqiu actively teases him while he is making the elixir.

Qiuqiu gave the beast-feeding pills he made to Xiao Gugu, but he took a few bites of them with disdain and showed no sign of liking them.

On a chance occasion, Qiuqiu didn't put away the ebony cup, and ate barbecue with Xuanchen and Xuanshen. While eating, the three of them exchanged their cultivation experiences. They didn't even notice that a piece of barbecue was missing from the table.

It wasn't until Xuan Shen lost his focus that he realized a corner of his barbecue had been eaten. He found the culprit, but after two attempts, he couldn't catch Little Gu Gu, and Qiu Qiu finally had time to stop him. From then on, Little Gu Gu became a shameless foodie.

Qiuqiu, busy refining pills to earn spirit stones, hadn't yet discovered Gugu's preferences, but the ebony cauldron could no longer contain it. After two days without a meal, Qiuqiu was about to continue refining a fourth-tier pill when the voice of a two or three-year-old child echoed in his mind, conveying one message: "I'm hungry, I want to eat something delicious."
