The Misty Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, with undulating peaks and vast expanses.
Misty Peak, the main peak of the range, stands at over a thousand zhang. Dense mist and light clouds hover around the mountainside, with humid and warm rain vapor occasionally drifting down the slopes with the gentle breeze. The peak is hidden above the sky, appearing like a graceful fairy with a thin veil, making it hard to see clearly.
When Tang Muxi and her companions arrived, it was just the time when the golden sun was setting. The golden sun was hidden among the towering peaks, with light clouds half-covering the sky, and water vapor swirling around, creating a dreamy and ethereal scene like a fairyland.
The Tianji Sect is also in the mountains, but it is located on a high platform within the mountains at a lower altitude, and has never seen such a beautiful view. Tang Muxi stared at the scene in a daze, filled with joy and anticipation.
“Senior Sister, where should we settle?” Jiang Yin pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke, “Let’s settle at the mountain peak.”
The residence of the powerful Corpse Cultivator is located halfway up the mountain, not far from the peak, making it convenient to move back and forth. The mountain peak is spacious, with warm winds flowing upward, frequent rain, and misty fog. The dawn light should be the most beautiful place.
Tang Muxi, having won the top prize in the lottery, had a Floating Immortal Island in her hand, which was perfect to place at the misty mountain peak.
If placed elsewhere, it might attract unwanted attention.
Tang Muxi had no doubts herself, touching the storage ring on her finger, thinking about taking out the small Immortal Island later.
Living on the mountain peak, surrounded by nine floating Immortal Islands, would be incredibly grand.
Tang Muxi’s vanity was satisfied like never before.
From a distance, the mountain peak of Misty Peak looked narrow, but upon arrival, it was quite spacious. With year-round rain, the area was rich with spiritual plants and trees, and along the way, many rare and precious spiritual plants could be seen. Tang Muxi’s eyes lit up, and she casually picked a few, thinking of transferring them to the Floating Immortal Island later.
Reaching a flat area, Jiang Yin looked around, satisfied with the open view and rich spiritual energy, and nodded, “Take out your Immortal Island and see if it can be placed here.”
Tang Muxi eagerly summoned the dome jade from her storage ring and carefully transferred the Floating Immortal Island out.
The Immortal Island was large. She had only seen a rough shadow when she won the prize, but now, seeing it fully, she understood what a paradise it was.
There were nine islands in total, with eight smaller ones surrounding the central main island, connected by “Heavenly Rivers” floating in the air, creating a beautiful scene.
Even the smallest island was larger than the small hill Tang Muxi had stolen before. The largest island was like a wide small mountain, floating in the air.
As soon as the nine Immortal Islands were taken out, they instantly occupied a large space, appearing almost more spacious than the mountain peak. Fortunately, they floated in the air and did not take up the land of Misty Peak.
Fearing her small island would block the sunlight, Tang Muxi thoughtfully moved it higher.
After roughly adjusting, she turned back to Jiang Yin with a smile, “Senior Sister, it’s done.” Her tone was full of pride.
Jiang Yin saw her face full of pride, found it amusing yet helpless, and after thinking for a moment, still praised her, “It’s a very beautiful island.”
Tang Muxi’s imaginary tail immediately wagged happily, “Mm-hmm.”
“Have you made a contract with this island?” Jiang Yin asked.
Tang Muxi was taken aback for a moment and shook her head, “No, the island is connected to the Qiong Long Jade, and it can be controlled through the jade.”
“Has the Qiong Long Jade been set with any restrictions?” Jiang Yin slightly furrowed her brows.
Tang Muxi shook her head again. She had just won the item, and not to mention setting restrictions, she hadn’t even recognized it as her own yet.
Without recognizing it as her own, it meant anyone could control it.
Jiang Yin was silent for a long time, quietly looking at her, “Aren’t you afraid of losing it?”
After being reminded, Tang Muxi realized the problem and quickly recognized it as her own.
While she was recognizing it, Jiang Yin took out the Demon Disk and began setting up a formation.
These days, she often studied the formations on the Demon Disk, had already grasped the principles, and based on her insights, created a unique concealment formation.
The Floating Immortal Island was too conspicuous. Although it was covered by thin clouds and rain, it might still be discovered over time, so it was better to hide it.
After recognizing it, Tang Muxi turned around and saw Jiang Yin drawing circles and lines on the ground. The complex and intricate formation patterns interlocked with each other, with large and small formations intertwined. At first, she could keep up with Jiang Yin’s pace and roughly knew what she was drawing, but later on, it made her dizzy. She shook her head and stopped looking.
After all, Senior Sister wouldn’t harm her.
There was a teleportation formation on the Floating Immortal Island, allowing teleportation between each other at any time. Tang Muxi was very curious, hopping back and forth between the nine islands, looking here and touching there. Bai Ling was with her, occasionally sneaking a fruit when passing by a fruit tree.
The island was really big, and it seemed to use some kind of formation. From the outside, it was only the size of a hill, but inside it was much more spacious. Unfortunately, Tang Muxi hadn’t learned the technique of shrinking the ground to an inch, so she was running around, sweating profusely.
She remembered that among the prizes she won, there seemed to be a technique called “Star Shift Technique,” which had an introduction mentioning a similar effect of speeding up travel. It seemed she needed to hurry up and learn it, as she couldn’t even take care of her own territory.
The eight auxiliary islands looked beautiful from the outside, but inside they were empty, with only a few plants and spiritual springs. The main island was slightly better, with a beautifully crafted mansion.
Tang Muxi was greatly disappointed after touring each one and made up her mind to decorate each floating island with vibrant life.
Coincidentally, she had a hundred acres of Mixed Yuan Purple Soil, the best land in the spiritual cultivation world, which could yield twice the result with half the effort when used for planting spiritual plants. Tang Muxi decided to gather some spiritual plants another day and build her own herb garden on the island.
It’s time to start learning alchemy and artifact forging. In my past lives, I was always busy doing bad things and never studied these skills. Now that I have a beautiful alchemy furnace, a mid-grade Earth-tier one, I must make good use of it.
Just one Tianyan Pill can attract so many people. If I can also make Earth-tier pills… wouldn’t that mean a lot of money? Tang Muxi daydreamed about getting rich while taking out fresh fish and seasonings.
Alchemy—start by familiarizing yourself with the alchemy furnace. The genius girl Tang Muxi’s road to riches officially begins!!!
The self-created concealment array was extremely complex. Jiang Yin started setting it up at dusk and barely finished by nightfall. She had only ever thought about the array in her mind and never practiced it. Today, she realized some parts still needed improvement. But time was tight, so Jiang Yin decided to record her findings and improve it later.
She was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and now her stomach was growling. Looking around, she didn’t see Tang Muxi, so she went up to the Floating Immortal Island to find her.
The Floating Immortal Island was now under a restriction, preventing it from being stolen, and it was concealed by an array, but it still wasn’t safe. The island lacked a protective array like a mountain-guarding formation, and it wouldn’t hold up long if attacked.
She needed to find a way to set up a protective array for the island another day.
Jiang Yin thought quickly as she arrived at the main island’s Immortal Mansion.
The Immortal Mansion was a refined residence with a training room, living quarters, and more, all fully equipped. It was located in the center of the island, with beautiful scenery.
Jiang Yin smelled a faint aroma of food from afar and knew Tang Muxi was cooking, so she quickly went to find her.
However, when she finally reached the kitchen, she was stunned into silence by the scene before her, her thoughts completely interrupted.
“What… are you doing?” Heaven knows how much it pained the former Demon Lord to say this. Even someone as calm and composed as her almost lost her mind.
“Senior Sister, you’re here!” Tang Muxi, holding a ladle, glanced at Jiang Yin standing at the door and smiled brightly. “Come in, come in. The dishes are ready, and the fish soup is almost done. This alchemy furnace is really useful!”
Jiang Yin’s mouth twitched.
Tang Muxi was cooking, making rice. A standard four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetable dishes, all looking exquisite and smelling delicious. But that wasn’t the point. The point was she was using a mid-grade Earth-tier alchemy furnace made from dragon bones to cook fish soup!!!
Heavens, that was an Earth-tier alchemy furnace, capable of refining divine pills like the Tianyan Pill! Each one was worth a fortune and could cause a scramble among cultivators.
The furnace was made from the bones of a dragon that failed its tribulation, just a step away from transforming into a true dragon. The bones had been purified by heavenly lightning, almost semi-immortal, with traces of dragon energy, making it a top-tier alchemy furnace. It contained the purest solar fire, capable of burning away all impurities.
Jiang Yin even thought this alchemy furnace could rival a Heaven-tier one.
But this unlucky child Tang Muxi was using such a precious alchemy furnace to cook fish soup?
If she were that dragon that failed its tribulation, she would probably be so angry she’d come back to life.
This little fish was truly blessed to have such an “intimate encounter” with a dragon.
As the former Demon Lord, Jiang Yin felt extremely conflicted.
She even regretted it a bit. If she had known Tang Muxi would waste such a treasure, she would have traded it for a Tianyan Pill with that alchemist back then.
Jiang Yin felt her worldview was severely challenged and took a long time to recover from her complex and profound emotions.
Tang Muxi, still unaware, took a small spoonful of soup to taste.
The rich aroma of the meat blended into the broth, smooth but not greasy, exceptionally delicious. Due to the special material of the alchemy furnace, the fish soup was also filled with spiritual energy. Just one sip made her feel refreshed and delighted.
“It’s ready, time to serve!” Tang Muxi transferred all the soup from the furnace into a soup bowl, smiling as she brought it to the table.
On the square table, there were four dishes and one soup, steaming hot and fragrant.
“Senior Sister, try it, it’s really good.” Tang Muxi giggled, eagerly serving a bowl to Jiang Yin.
Jiang Yin had no choice but to accept it, and under Tang Muxi’s expectant gaze, she took a sip and said, “It’s very good.”
Not only was it good, but the fish soup even had the taste of dragon bone.
She felt conflicted.
“If you need a pot, just tell me. I’ll buy one for you. Please don’t use the alchemy furnace to make soup anymore, okay?” Jiang Yin weakly held the soup spoon.
“Why?” Tang Muxi tilted her head in confusion.
“That, that is for refining pills and forging tools.”
Tang Muxi blinked: “I know, I’m just learning alchemy.”
You call making soup learning alchemy? Jiang Yin opened her mouth but found herself unable to say a word, her face full of exhaustion.
