Upon his emergence from seclusion, Huang Feifei not only prepared everything for Xiao Fei but also handed him over ten million immortal stones.
These immortal stones were all earned from selling immortal herbs from her spatial dimension.
"Young Master, immortal stones are much easier to earn in this universe! I've only sold a few immortal pills and already earned so many immortal stones."
Huang Feifei spoke with a hint of excitement about her experience earning a large sum of immortal stones.
"It's almost enough to save up for an immortal artifact by selling just one bottle of pills."
"Before long, the giant army will each have an immortal artifact, and their combat power will at least double."
"I also managed to snag a piece of ore containing Dao charm, and with the Extreme Dao Sacred Bamboo planted in my space, perhaps we can eventually accumulate a Dao artifact."
"When that time comes, with Young Master wielding a Dao artifact, you can even contend with Supremes."
"It's just that this universe has too many rules. Only by reaching high positions in officialdom can one gain status and access to more things."
"I wonder if the powerful beings like the Three Yang Demon Lord will discover that black hole in the chaos."
Huang Feifei, walking beside Xiao Fei, chattered incessantly, just like an ordinary woman.
"Young Master, you should first examine the jade slip and rest for a few days to familiarize yourself with the Guiyi Realm. I have some matters to attend to these days."
After chatting with Xiao Fei for a while, Huang Feifei took her leave.
Xiao Fei brought the immortal stones gifted by Huang Feifei into his spatial dimension and scattered them all over the land.
As the immortal stones were absorbed, the concentration of immortal energy within the space slowly increased.
Next, he took out the two sections of demonic veins he obtained from below the Demonic God Mountain.
These two sections of demonic veins had been sealed within his spatial dimension since he acquired them, intended for use during breakthroughs.
However, he hadn't used them during his breakthroughs, and it was better to let the space absorb them now, which would also increase the speed of time flow.
Xiao Fei unsealed the two sections of demonic veins and threw them directly into the spatial dimension.
His Creation Jade Disk was incomplete; even if he moved external immortal veins into it, they could not be preserved for long and would gradually decompose.
The demonic veins, upon being thrown onto the ground, immediately burrowed into the soil. He thought he had escaped the threat of life, unaware that his body was being decomposed by the space.
It took several months within the spatial dimension for all the immortal stones and demonic veins to be decomposed, and the concentration of immortal energy in the space increased significantly.
Concurrently, the speed of time flow within the space accelerated to 200 times.
The acceleration of time meant that the growth rate of treasures within the space would increase, and the people in the Jianmu World would also grow faster, allowing for the rapid cultivation of more experts.
Xiao Fei stood atop a mountain, overlooking the entire spatial dimension. Various rare ten-thousand-year immortal herbs grew lushly, presenting a pleasing sight.
Only a patch of barren land, several dozen mu in size, stood out starkly in the center.
In the very middle of this barren land stood a single, verdant bamboo.
This was the Extreme Dao Sacred Bamboo that Xiao Fei had transplanted.
After entering the spatial dimension, this bamboo grew rapidly, especially its underground root system, which expanded with remarkable speed.
From initially occupying over ten mu, it had now expanded to over fifty mu.
Wherever the roots of the Extreme Dao Sacred Bamboo extended, immortal energy was devoured, leaving the ground barren and turning fertile soil into desert.
Having devoured so much of his immortal energy and land, Xiao Fei held great expectations for this Extreme Dao Sacred Bamboo.
He hoped to use it as the main material to refine a Dao artifact in the future.
...
In a storeroom, Huang Feifei was in the process of delivering a batch of immortal pills.
To improve efficiency, she now handled large quantities with each transaction, and then distributed the sales through her intelligence network.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, with a loud explosion, the storeroom door was blasted open, and a large group of cultivators rushed in.
These individuals wore the standard purple robes of Guiyi Realm officials. The leader possessed a commanding presence and was at the Immortal Lord realm, accompanied by four other Immortal Lords.
Even with the denser immortal energy in the Guiyi Realm, Immortal Lords were not common. Deploying five Immortal Lords at once clearly indicated they were serious about dealing with Huang Feifei.
"My lords, what is the meaning of this?"
Huang Feifei remained composed, her gaze fixed on the group of officials who had barged in.
"According to our investigation, you have been illegally selling immortal pills in vast quantities. We are here to apprehend you and confiscate your goods. Come with us obediently!"
The commanding male official issued an order, and the other four Immortal Lords, along with a group of Heavenly Immortal subordinates, surrounded Huang Feifei.
Huang Feifei scanned the positions of the thirty-five people surrounding her. Their auras were subtly connected, forming a profound formation.
With this formation, capturing any single Immortal Lord would be more than sufficient.
However, they were unaware that the person they had surrounded was not an Immortal Lord, but a Golden Immortal.
Still, the situation had not yet reached an irrecoverable point, and she had no intention of making a move.
It was difficult to kill official personnel; even killing a minor subordinate would result in significant trouble later, especially with five Immortal Lords present.
Thus, this group of Guiyi Realm officials packed up the treasures in the storeroom and escorted Huang Feifei towards a large city.
At the entrance of this large city stood a golden monument inscribed with the three characters "Di Gou City."
Upon seeing these three characters, Huang Feifei's inner calm vanished.
Legend had it that Emperor Guiyi had thirty-six Heavenly Spirits and seventy-two Earthly Fiends, and the lowest cultivation among these one hundred and eight generals was the Golden Immortal realm.
The Di Gou City before her was the main city of General Di Gou's fiefdom.
General Di Gou resided here most of the time.
If she could not resolve the situation smoothly and came into conflict with them, it was inevitable that General Di Gou would be alerted.
At that point, it would be more than just a matter of killing a few Immortal Lords.
Since she had come this far, she could only take things one step at a time.
Huang Feifei weighed the potential gains and losses and decided to accompany the officials into Di Gou City.
If it were just herself, as long as no Supreme expert intervened, she could come and go freely without any restrictions.
However, she had to consider the impact on her Young Master. She still wanted to help him manage his intelligence network and earn immortal stones for him; she could not afford to lose.
After all, she had interacted with Guiyi Realm officials quite a bit over the years and was familiar with their usual practices.
Most of the time, spending some immortal stones and offering some wealth could resolve issues, and there was no need to fight for one's life.
Still holding onto a sliver of hope, Huang Feifei decided to continue to endure.
At worst, she would spend some immortal stones to smooth things over. If she could build the right connections, she could expand her business even further in the future.
Huang Feifei was escorted by a group of officials into a tall building and locked in a secret room. The group then departed.
After more than half a day, an elder with a kind and benevolent appearance entered the secret room.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Gou You Captain under General Di Gou, and everyone calls me Old You.
You have been invited here today, Fairy Huang, and I believe you are well aware of the offense.
In truth, this matter can be either minor or major; the outcome depends entirely on your decision, Fairy Huang."
After speaking, the Gou You Captain stroked his beard, looking self-satisfied, and awaited Huang Feifei's response.
