Phoenix Nest Mountain
Since the Mountain God has awakened, the scenery within the mountain has completely transformed.
The former desolation and gloom have vanished, and the mountains have regained a vibrant appearance. From afar, the spiritual energy gathers within the mountain, with peaks standing tall amid the clouds, resembling a phoenix spreading its wings.
At this moment, a procession is approaching from the foot of the mountain, with mules and horses neighing, and the cart is loaded with many wooden beams.
Among the mountains, Phoenix Spirit watches this scene, a hint of joy deep in her beautiful eyes, unable to help but speak.
"Brother Zhang, this might be too extravagant!"
Zhang Jian stands by her side, smiling: "It's just a token gesture. Without the Mountain God's assistance, the situation inside and outside Fengyang County would be vastly different!"
This time, he has come to Phoenix Nest Mountain to select heavenly and earthly treasures, not empty-handed, but accompanied by many carpenters and young men, intending to rebuild the Mountain God Temple.
This was an idea he had long ago.
It's also his way of giving back. In addition to this, he had prepared many worldly gifts, like various snacks, famous pastries from different regions, fresh teas of the four seasons, and luxurious cosmetics.
Though not particularly precious, they are novel and add a touch of brilliance to the Phoenix Spirit Mountain God's lonely years.
No wonder the Phoenix Spirit Mountain God is so pleased.
"Fellow Daoist, a small feast is already prepared in the mountains. Please, come in!"
Zhang Jian nods.
Zhang Lu has been following behind him. This is his second time meeting the Phoenix Spirit Mountain God, and he clearly knows that this Mountain God is of phoenix origin, which greatly astonishes him.
After the small feast, their relationship grows closer, and Phoenix Spirit leads Zhang Jian into the core territory within Phoenix Nest Mountain.
It's an ancient mountain cave, with primitive celestial gold ores scattered both inside and out. At first glance, Zhang Jian's eyes slightly flicker, having already spotted several types of celestial gold needed for refining the Qianyuan Tripod, such as Venus Celestial Gold, Wind Thunder Celestial Gold, and Seven Aperture Celestial Gold...
The ancient cave is now filled with a rich fragrant breeze. Although it looks ancient, it's arranged very neatly, exuding an air of the first layer of spiritual beauty and is slightly decorated, pleasing to the eyes with its color coordination.
There's a unique gentle and delicate femininity about it.
But in an instant, Zhang Jian is attracted to a celestial gold ore several feet tall right before him.
Its exterior is golden, with a supremely strong and Yang inner glow of crimson gold.
"Qianyuan Golden Mother, and such a large piece at that. Isn't a small piece as big as a fist said to take a thousand-year-old celestial gold vein to nurture?"
Staring at the massive Qianyuan Golden Mother, Zhang Jian is dazzled, realizing this Phoenix Spirit Mountain God is truly a little rich lady.
It's not just this incredibly precious Qiankun Primordial Golden Mother; he sees over a dozen types of celestial gold ores, all very pure in quality, piled casually into a small hill before him.
Besides that, another main material reveals itself.
Deep within the cave are several original ores in a rich mixed yellow hue, emanating a strong energy of Wu Earth, which is another main material for artifact refining, Earth Mother.
"Brother Zhang, do you think the collection in my treasure vault is enough for you to refine your lifebound dharma artifact?"
At this moment, there is a hint of curiosity in Phoenix Spirit's eyes, her charming eyes carrying a bright expression.
"More than enough, it's truly an eye-opener!"
Zhang Jian doesn't hold back his words of praise for this Mountain God and adds: "Fellow Daoist Phoenix Spirit, every item in your treasure vault is priceless, but although I'll be using them, I can't provide you with equal value items!"
In fact, it's not just the spiritual materials needed for his lifebound dharma artifact; he also finds many highly valuable heaven and earth spiritual materials in the treasure vault.
Like a piece exuding a colorful brilliance of refined gold!
The aura it emits is akin to a phoenix nirvana!
It must be a piece of highly valuable refined gold!
And there are many other treasures, each spiritual material could be auctioned for high prices among cultivators.
For cultivators, resources are always scarce.
Zhang Jian isn't sure if this Mountain God is inherently wealthy or if it's a common trait among gods to safeguard treasures?
Zhang Jian leans towards the former!
After all, a phoenix never lands where there are no treasures.
Upon hearing this, Phoenix Spirit Mountain God smiles: "Brother Zhang, feel free to use whatever you need. To tell you the truth, if any kind of heaven and earth spiritual material runs out, just mention it. We Mountain Gods actually have specialized channels for exchanging resources!"
"Missing spiritual materials can also be purchased through special channels!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian is somewhat surprised.
Phoenix Spirit Mountain God shakes her head in response to Zhang Jian's surprised expression: "Brother Zhang has limited understanding of the Divine Dao. While managing our own Divine Offices, Mountain Gods often face the predicament of lacking certain special resources. Long ago, Mountain Gods began trading with many cultivators and even established mountain ghost markets!"
"Moreover, certain Mountain Gods born in spirit mountains and rivers with abundant spiritual mechanisms make agreements with major sects, setting aside zones for renting to cultivation clans for growing spirit medicines, or as spirit fields! All to exchange for cultivation resources!"
A hint of shrewdness common to many women gleams in Phoenix Spirit's eyes.
Zhang Jian also feels enlightened. No wonder the treasure vault of this Phoenix Spirit Mountain God is filled with various treasures.
"The specialty of our Shuangfeng Mountain Range lies in the several celestial gold veins below. Originally, there were also small patches of Geng Metal Spirit Field, producing unique gold element spirit fruits and spirit medicines, which unfortunately were destroyed by bandits!"
