Chapter 46 Enjoying Life
Night Sea, second floor.
Their own sky island is located on the edge of the Demon Cultivation City. When viewed from above, it is shrouded in a misty white fog.
The outline of the exquisite and simple house is vaguely visible, but the interior is nowhere to be seen.
The island protection formation is in constant operation.
Outsiders are not allowed to peek inside.
Ji Yun came from the dark sea at night. He raised his hand and made a hand seal, and the white mist immediately parted to create a path, allowing him to land on his own floating island.
The courtyard was brightly lit.
In the side courtyard, two or three maids were sitting with their legs apart in front of a wooden basin, washing clothes. Their long legs, round and jade-like with a perfect balance of plumpness and slenderness, were visible beneath their skirts.
"master."
"Welcome, sir."
"Master is back."
Upon seeing Ji Yun return, the maids all showed joy, their eyes crinkling with smiles. They happily rose, walked to the central courtyard, and bowed in greeting.
There were only a few of them on the island.
Outsiders are not allowed to set foot in this place.
Therefore, they dressed more and more casually, and when Ji Yun was not on the island, they would just grab a thin piece of clothing to cover themselves up.
If the master returns, she will bathe, dress up, and put on her makeup carefully, but she will not have many extra clothes.
He was originally the master's man.
Naturally, he wasn't afraid of being seen by the master.
"Go and prepare some wine and dishes."
I will spend the night here.
Ji Yunluo landed in the courtyard and handed over a storage bag, which contained spirit fish, spirit rice, and various spirit vegetables, wine, and meat given by the Zhao family.
"Yes, sir."
Several maids smiled and responded, taking the storage bag and calling for the other maids.
Ji Yun then slowly walked towards the backyard.
The sea was pitch black all night, and the outside world was fraught with danger.
Since stepping onto this island, these maids have never left their posts; this courtyard is their only place of residence.
Although it cannot compare to the Zhao family's cave dwelling.
However, the second floor of the Night Sea is considered a superior residence.
The residence covers nearly four acres and consists of three courtyards: front, middle, and back, as well as two side courtyards on the east and west sides. It has dozens of rooms, all arranged in an orderly and elegant manner.
They managed it very well.
Each house is clean and elegant, the tables and chairs are wiped down daily, the room is filled with incense, the flowers are regularly pruned, and the plants are lush and vibrant.
A talisman-making room was also set up.
All kinds of talisman paper, spiritual ink, and spiritual brushes were used to draw talismans, which were all neatly arranged.
Thinking back to when I was at the first level of Qi Refining, I only had three rooms, which was really inferior to this place.
"Master, Master Zhou has delivered the profits from the talisman shop, which are all sealed in the wooden box in your study."
"The master's talisman yielded 12,000 catties of spirit sand."
"The maids drew 1,400 talismans, which brought in 6,000 catties of profit."
"This is the account book. Master Zhou also sent many other things..."
The maid, Qianyu, came forward and told her what had happened on the island recently.
"Um."
As Ji Yun listened, he glanced at the small patch of spirit field in the courtyard.
The sacred tree is growing vigorously.
It is already half a palm's height.
Five or six tender leaves unfurled, releasing wisps of elegant fragrance that permeated the middle and rear courtyards, brimming with vibrant life.
He carefully sensed it.
He then turned his head to look at the maid Qianyu, scrutinizing her face for a moment.
This fresh, life-giving fragrance, if inhaled over a long period, should have some life-extending effects and also help maintain youthful appearance.
"This tree is not yet at the Foundation Establishment stage."
"But this ability to prolong life alone makes it more precious than ordinary Foundation Establishment items."
Ji Yun nodded to himself.
The Night Sea is barren of resources. The youth-preserving pills that were extremely common in his previous life are something he has never seen in this life, let alone anything that can prolong life.
Then look up at the attic.
A plaque hangs under the eaves.
The Taoist aura emanating from it gently permeated the courtyard, bringing a sense of tranquility and clarity of mind.
If we disregard spiritual energy, the cultivation environment of this residence is actually superior to that of the Zhao family's cave dwelling.
But the spiritual energy is scarce.
Longevity and comprehension are irrelevant to Ji Yun at this moment; what he lacks is spiritual energy.
"If this island were raised to the third level of the Night Sea and a spirit-gathering array were set up, it would be even stronger than the Zhao family's cave dwelling."
"But this matter needs careful consideration."
Ji Yun sighed inwardly, then walked towards the secret chamber on the floating island.
……
Inside a sealed room.
Li Meier sat cross-legged on the futon, her figure graceful and her aura strange, emanating waves of spiritual energy. She was at a crucial moment in her cultivation.
She has already refined most of the souls and essence of thirty cultivators of the same level, and now she is only one step away from the third level of Qi Refining.
A breakthrough should be achieved soon.
At that time, a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining will be stationed on this floating island.
"The cultivation speed of demonic cultivators is indeed fast."
"Supplies for spiritual practice are also easier to obtain."
Ji Yun withdrew his gaze and walked to the shelf next to him, looking at the items on it.
It's already piled up to the brim.
There were over fifty first-grade mid-level magic artifacts, a dazzling array of mid-grade talismans and pills, and various rare and precious immortal materials piled up like a small mountain.
All of it was seized from the thieves.
They are all at the second level of Qi Refining.
For Ji Yun at this moment, these things were of little use.
Some of the better quality ones can be given as a reward to the maids, and the rest should all be sold.
"It's a bit messy."
"I need to take stock and sort it out."
Ji Yun then took out two more storage bags from his bosom.
One of them was filled with spiritual medicines and pills obtained from the Zhao family, as well as various kinds of spiritual rice and other precious materials.
The other storage bag contained the sword cultivator's relics, including several high-grade magic artifacts and rare junk.
The harvest was too much and too varied.
The secret room is almost overflowing.
However, the only useful part of it is the legacy of the sword cultivator.
……
Late at night, in the backyard.
The lanterns under the eaves cast a soft glow.
A stone table sits in the courtyard, filled with the aroma of wine and laden with delicacies, a dozen or so exquisite dishes on display.
Ji Yun sat at the table.
He was flanked by maids on both sides, their soft, fragrant breaths like orchids.
She might hold a wine glass to his lips or feed him meat and vegetables.
The maids had all bathed and changed, their black hair smooth and shiny, their makeup neat and their rouge applied lightly, their graceful figures wrapped only in white gauze.
They sat around the table.
We also enjoyed this delicious meal together.
"Sir, is this the fish?"
"Fish actually live in water?"
The maids, all smiles and bright and charming, pointed at the fish platter and asked in sweet voices.
They were all young women, still retaining a girlish spirit. Upon seeing these rare delicacies, their faces lit up with joy, and their laughter filled the air.
"The white bones are sharp."
"It needs to be carefully removed."
"Only white meat is edible."
Ji Yun leaned back lazily in the soft chair, with two women embracing him, their bodies filled with warmth and fragrance.
He answered the maids' innocent questions with a smile.
The atmosphere was wonderful.
He was happy to immerse himself in it.
"The taste is so delicious."
"Master, this fish must be very precious, right? It must have cost you a lot of spirit sand."
The maid, Qianyu, leaned against Ji Yun's chest, her head slightly raised, revealing her fair and delicate shoulders. She held a piece of fish between her fingers, her face showing a hint of heartache.
She came from a poor family.
Some people are reluctant to spend such money.
"Haha, it's alright."
Ji Yun chuckled softly, raised his hand to gently pat her back, reassuring her to enjoy the moment.
He could sense that the maids' state of mind was completely different from before.
If she had no choice back then, she is now willing and devoted, and she is already thinking of her husband.
"Sir, would you like to hear some music?"
"We servants all know some singing and dancing."
The other maids, their cheeks flushed, had shared half a bottle of spirit wine and were now slightly tipsy and a little bolder.
They looked at Ji Yun with brimming eyes, their faces blushing shyly, their tone carrying a seductive and eager air.
"it is good."
"One dance, one appreciation."
Ji Yun nodded with a smile, took out his storage bag, and said with a calm and elegant demeanor.
He has no shortage of rewards now.
Besides, they are all his own maids, not from a brothel. As long as they can please him, what's wrong with giving them more rewards?
He has been practicing asceticism for so long.
What's wrong with enjoying yourself?
One should do as one pleases and indulge in unrestrained behavior in order to be worthy of being called a demonic cultivator.
