Xiao Fei's appearance in the lower realm this time caused quite a stir, attracting all the Earth Immortals dispatched by the major powers.
It is said that several Celestial overlords also showed up in the end.
However, Xiao Fei was quite swift this time, and the various powerful figures couldn't even catch his tail before he escaped again.
While the Celestial overlords were sending people to search for Xiao Fei in the lower realm, Xiao Fei's Earth Immortal clone was working as a menial laborer in Jin Xia Cave Heaven.
After some time, he had gradually adapted to this new identity and found it to be quite acceptable.
It aligned with his goal of hiding his tracks, developing quietly, and then astonishing everyone.
Here, he could freely absorb immortal energy, which was more abundant than in his hidden underground lair.
In this place, he was just an inconspicuous little laborer, and no one paid him any attention.
He didn't know what the middle-aged beautiful woman was thinking when she snatched him back from Shui Yue, but she didn't cherish him properly. She casually tossed him here and then ignored him.
His main job now was to fetch bathwater for some official disciples.
In fact, for Earth Immortals, fetching bathwater was such a trivial matter that it could be done without hands.
Moreover, Earth Immortal powerhouses had long ago achieved a state of purity, free from any defilement. They could go tens of thousands of years without bathing and still not produce any dirt.
This was purely done to enjoy the feeling of being served.
Today, Xiao Fei filled a large tub with bathwater for an immortal maiden, thus completing his task for the day.
In reality, he was a diligent and conscientious little laborer. If he were asked to scrub someone's back after fetching the water, he would have done so without complaint.
After finishing his work, it was his free time.
Xiao Fei sat in a laborer's room, forming hand seals and silently reciting a mantra. The surrounding immortal energy rapidly flowed into his body.
This was a cultivation technique specifically tailored for him by Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu had casually concocted this set of techniques, not even bothering to give it a name.
Zhu Yu was lazy, and Xiao Fei wasn't much more diligent. He simply copied the name of the technique.
The name of his previous cultivation technique, "Hun Yuan Gong," was quite good, so he directly borrowed it.
This cultivation technique was designed for his Five Elements spiritual roots, allowing him to cultivate five distinct types of immortal power within his body simultaneously.
If he could also comprehend the laws of the Five Elements concurrently, it would be even more perfect.
Therefore, when he inquired about the Lotus King of the Heavenly Fire Golden Lotus, Zhu Yu readily provided Xiao Fei with all the information about the Lotus King.
Xiao Fei arranged for a clone to spend a hundred years comprehending the two jade slips given by Zhu Yu within his spatial realm.
He had now thoroughly grasped the contents and integrated them.
Xiao Fei cultivated continuously for three hours, and the five different colored immortal powers within his body grew by another sliver.
Despite his spiritual root aptitude, his cultivation speed had slowed considerably after entering the Earth Immortal realm. However, he was still stronger than the vast majority of Earth Immortals, and his cultivation speed was much faster.
At this point, he slowly concluded his cultivation and took out a fist-sized green lotus seed.
Zhu Yu had taught him a technique to directly refine these five lotus seeds and absorb them into his body to nurture a set of immortal artifacts.
Xiao Fei wrapped the lotus seed with a strand of immortal power, and his divine sense attached itself entirely to it.
His divine sense communicated with the law of wood within the lotus seed, and then they began to fuse together.
This lotus seed had already absorbed Xiao Fei's law of wood. The initial communication and fusion were relatively smooth.
It was now the tenth day, and his divine sense finally came into contact with the law of wood within the lotus seed and began to merge.
Then, the lotus seed slowly floated into the air and drifted towards Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei opened his mouth wide, and the lotus seed fell into it…
The lotus seed was a bit large, so he nudged it!
"Gulp!"
His throat moved, and he swallowed it!
In the days that followed, he would need to slowly refine this lotus seed and harness the law of wood contained within it for his own use.
All of this required a great deal of time.
However, he was afraid of exposing the existence of the Creation Jade Disk and dared not cultivate within his spatial realm.
His direct entry and exit from the spatial realm would cause significant spatial fluctuations, which were very different from simply retrieving items from it.
His personal movement in and out of the spatial realm could very well alert the Celestial overlords, rendering his infiltration plan useless.
He could only proceed slowly like this!
After cultivating for more than ten hours, Xiao Fei emerged from the laborer's room.
He walked to the old woman in charge of the laborers to collect his tasks for the day.
Xiao Fei received a jade slip that recorded who he was supposed to fetch bathwater for today.
He submerged his divine sense into it and glanced at the contents. A slight smile curved his lips as he walked out of the courtyard where the laborers resided and headed towards the mountaintop.
An hour later, Xiao Fei had filled a large pool with water. The water was filled with misty immortal energy, and fragrant immortal herbs floated on its surface.
The immortal maidens of Jin Xia Cave Heaven enjoyed bathing in such water. They would often soak in it for half a day without needing to scrub themselves.
They simply needed to allow the fragrant substances in the water to thoroughly infuse their bodies, so that they would exude fragrance wherever they went.
After preparing the water today, Xiao Fei did not leave immediately. He continued to stand by with a smile.
A moment later, an immortal maiden with an oval face gracefully approached.
"Greetings, Aunt-Master Jingyi. The water is ready, and I've added your favorite Nine Nether Orchid."
The oval-faced immortal maiden walked to the edge of the pool, extended a hand to test the water temperature, and took a deep breath. She felt it was quite good and nodded with a smile.
"Excellent!"
Xiao Fei, having received praise, did not retreat immediately. He remained in place, rubbed his hands, and organized his thoughts.
"Aunt-Master, do you require any other services, such as a full bath and massage? I am quite skilled at those!"
"No, I don't have such preferences, Aunt-Master."
The oval-faced immortal maiden glanced at Xiao Fei and refused outright. She was not someone who indulged in decadent living.
"Aunt-Master, do you have any other needs? I will do my utmost to fulfill them."
"No, thank you!"
The oval-faced female immortal stood by the pool, and since Xiao Fei hadn't left, she had no intention of undressing.
"Do you have anything else? If not, you may leave."
"Senior, that matter I asked you about last time…"
Seeing that the oval-faced female immortal couldn't recall, Xiao Fei cautiously reminded her.
"Oh! It's about that. I almost forgot!"
The oval-faced immortal maiden took a jade slip from her embrace and tossed it to Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei quickly caught it and tucked it into his embrace.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Xiao Fei bowed again and then scurried away.
Returning to the laborer's room, he closed the doors and windows and eagerly took out the jade slip to examine it.
This jade slip contained a detailed map of the Immortal Realm and some recent news from the Immortal Realm.
Ever since Xiao Hei was captured, he had been gathering information, desperately wanting to rescue Xiao Hei.
However, he had only recently entered the Immortal Realm and didn't even know the location of Xiao Hei's master's family, making it impossible to gather specific information.
Xiao Hei belonged to the demon race, which was very far from the human realm.
The other laborers in Jin Xia Cave Heaven had limited knowledge and did not understand the situation in the demon race's territory.
In his helplessness, he could only seek help from the senior experts in Jin Xia Cave Heaven, and indeed, they did not disappoint him.
