Chapter 228 The Place Where Dreams Begin
I don't know if it's because Holy Snow Valley is very rich, but the Valley Master launched a magnificent building-shaped cloud boat, big enough to carry dozens of people. There were only eleven people on each side, so it was very spacious.
This cloud boat can travel long distances and has good overall performance, but it is not the fastest. If you want to go fast, you need to burn spirit stones as much as possible.
Leng Huan thought that they might have just acquired the territory of Chiang Rai, a place that was incredibly wealthy.
Although she discovered that Qinglai's spiritual veins were almost depleted when she was about to extract them, they were still enough to sustain her for several decades. She only selected three good ones and left two for Holy Snow Valley.
That place was too far away, and it wouldn't be easy for them to manage it. Apart from the training grounds and the small secret realm, the Holy Snow Valley was simply razed to the ground and emptied out.
The Valley Master let the two of them choose the resources first, so Leng Huan is now quite wealthy, though she hasn't had time to tally it up yet.
Fu Xun gave all the storage treasures of that Nascent Soul cultivator to Leng Huan, and Leng Huan generously gave him a few bracelets, saying that a man should have some savings in case he has to show off.
His gaze was very strange at the time, so I could only laugh and cry at the same time and put it away.
"Raising a child isn't easy either. Resources have to be divided into three parts. A second-generation immortal should act like a second-generation immortal..."
After exchanging information with the Valley Master, Leng Huan returned to his room. Fu Xun was meditating, while Leng Huan began to take stock of his possessions, silently calculating in his mind.
The resources she and Fu Xun gave their children were mostly spirit stones and various magical artifacts. They would only give them elixirs on specific occasions. Neither of them believed that using elixirs and other resources to boost cultivation was a good thing.
Given the aptitude of Yun Du and his siblings, cultivating their abilities through their own efforts is the best path. I've never heard of a cultivator ascending to immortality through medicine.
"Tsk, the wealth of powerful cultivators is truly that of a domineering CEO." Leng Huan counted the storage artifacts of the Nascent Soul elders of the Chiang Rai Holy Land. There were six or seven bracelets alone, more than a dozen rings, not to mention storage bags.
When a person dies, all that's left is a string of cold, uncountable numbers.
"This Valley Master is really generous, he actually gave me the storage artifact of the Holy Lord of Chiang Rai, tsk... I'm rich."
After this thorough search, Leng Huan discovered that, just counting the storage artifacts of the few Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators in Qinglai, she already possessed dozens of bracelets, twice the number of rings, and storage bags…
Among them are more than a dozen bracelets and rings made of special materials that can ward off lightning, each one filled to the brim.
In particular, cultivators at the Integration Stage have several rings containing high-grade spirit stones, a bracelet containing half top-grade spirit stones and high-level spiritual medicine materials, and countless mid- to low-grade spirit stones in their remaining storage space.
The combined elders' accumulated wealth is conservatively estimated at over two billion.
Wow... the food at Chiang Rai Sacred Land is really good.
"Pfft, hahaha..." Leng Huan couldn't help but burst out laughing with delight.
These all belong to her. These resources don't even include the storage artifacts she obtained by pretending to be weak while secretly fishing, or the resources she accumulated through her daily training.
The children are very capable; they will acquire resources on their own when they grow up. Apart from the fact that adults give them a lot of consumable items like magic weapons and treasures, there is nothing else that costs money.
Upon hearing her voice, the person meditating on the couch opened their eyes.
"Is my wife very happy?"
Leng Huan turned his head and saw him walking over. He pointed to the pile of bracelets and rings on the table and laughed, "Look, I'm rich!"
"..."
Leng Huan pondered, "After all, they've all reached the Golden Core stage. Later, for the children's birthday gifts, I'll give each of them a bag of magical artifacts, two magical treasures, a bag of talismans, a bag of miscellaneous items, and finally, a million spirit stones for each person... How about that?"
She crafted the magical artifacts herself, and for some reason, the artifacts tempered with cold flames seemed to have gained some additional attributes. They are now very stable and rarely explode.
Of course, it took many experiments to get it right. At first, the amount of material added was too much, and it exploded many times.
“Okay.” Fu Xun sat opposite her and saw that she was very much like a housekeeper, but he didn’t dare to say it and just admired her silently.
Leng Huan began rambling on as he tidied up the items.
"Wow!" she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "There are actually several peculiar jade slips in the space of the Holy Lord of Chiang Rai... Take a look."
Fu Xun took the jade slip from her hand and immediately realized that it was some kind of sealing technique, similar to a restriction or seal, mainly affecting the soul and the sea of consciousness.
"This secret technique is both righteous and evil, depending entirely on how the user uses it. My wife, I'll keep it and study it when I have time."
"Okay, take the rest too."
Leng Huan estimated his assets, approximately...
"Knock knock—" There was a knock on the door, followed by Yun Yi's voice: "Mother? May I come in?"
"come in."
Leng Huan responded, and Yun Yi pushed the door open and came in, followed by her two older brothers.
"You've arrived just in time, come sit down." Leng Huan beckoned, and his children obediently sat down on either side.
"Mother, what are you busy with?" Yun Yi cupped her face in her hands, looking curiously at the storage artifacts on the table.
Leng Huan replied, "I'm preparing birthday gifts for you. Yun Du is in the summer, and you two younger ones are in the autumn, so I'm giving them to you both. Otherwise, you might miss them if you go into seclusion again later."
After distributing the gifts, the family chatted idly, and suddenly the topic turned to their experiences on the Eastern Sea Continent.
Fu Xun looked at his children from left to right and said, “You have basically never traveled on the mainland. After you go back, Yun Du will take your younger siblings south to gain experience, especially to see the strength of the elite disciples of various sects and participate in the Immortal Alliance Gathering.”
"Having entered the world of cultivation, experienced the trials of the martial world, witnessed the wickedness of human nature and the myriad aspects of the world, your mother and I will no longer follow you. It is time for you to roam the world of cultivation on your own."
In the world of martial arts and the mortal realm, Leng Huan propped his head up, saying little, his thoughts already drifting far away.
—The place where dreams begin, the place where fate brings them together and ends, she wants to go back and see Linjiazhuang again.
"...Leng Huan!"
Hearing that name called out suddenly brought her back to her senses.
Fu Xun waved his hand in front of her, "I've called you several times, what are you thinking about, my wife?"
Leng Huan shook his head, only then realizing that the children had already left.
She simply got up and walked out, and Fu Xun followed. The two stood at the bow of the cloud boat, where the afterglow of the setting sun shone down and the evening breeze stirred the clouds and mist.
The two stood silently for a long time, then she suddenly asked, "Fu Xun, is there any secret method in the world that can find a person's reincarnation?"
After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Yes and no."
"It requires a wisp of a person's essence to be taken while they are alive, and then refined into a magical artifact using a secret method. It can only be found when a person has just entered the Yellow Springs or after reincarnation."
Leng Huan clenched his fists tightly and said in a low voice with regret, "I see."
They were too weak and panicked back then, they had nothing, and their loved ones were gone and could not be found.
"Will I be able to..." her voice was a little hoarse, "to reunite with old friends in this world?"
Grandma Zhou is a kind person. After passing through the Yellow Springs and the fires of karma, she will surely be reborn into a good family.
"When the time is right, it's possible."
Fu Xun hugged her, "The eternal lamp we offered at Jinshan Temple back then can pray for the deceased and bring them good fortune."
"May she live a peaceful life."
Leng Huan didn't know how many times he had made such a prayer, and every time he hoped that there really was a god in this world.
