The Qingjiang City Department of Supernatural Affairs was in dire need of reconstruction. Su Tie and Liu Yan, holding important positions, could not stay away from their posts for long, so they soon took their leave and returned home.
Having acquired a divine artifact and obtained a method to annihilate a lord-level monster, Jiang Junxin's journey to the Ghost Realm was now complete, and he prepared to return.
He summoned Zhao Jing and used a supernatural object to leave a trace, watching him and Cai Liang return to reality together, before attempting to connect with "Ghostly Impermissible" to return.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation emanated from the depths of the Mirror Realm.
He focused intently, seemingly hearing some kind of muttering, which made him feel uneasy.
In a daze, he seemed to see a sea of blood, filled with blood lotuses, and on the largest of the lotuses lay a terrifying figure.
The figure seemed to be half-asleep, its mouth opening and closing, emitting a demonic sound that spread indiscriminately outwards.
Jiang Jun felt a chill run down his spine, and was horrified to discover that the Blood-stained Lotus inside the "Demon-Swallowing Gourd" was receiving this fluctuation and trying to send back information.
Fortunately, although the "Gourd of Devouring Demons" could not completely block the transmission of the demonic sound, it could block the Blood Lotus's reaction, preventing the two from truly connecting.
"This blood lotus needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible." He made a silent decision, no longer listening to the demonic voice that bewitched his mind, and no longer trying to contact the "Unforgiving Ghost" spirit. He took the turmeric and ginger juice and returned home.
The two little ones seemed quite excited to be back home after a short separation, running around in the greenhouse.
But seeing that more than half of the spiritual plants were gone, they felt somewhat disappointed.
Jiang Jun smiled and reassured them, "Didn't you see? Those were given to the Department of Supernatural Affairs. You'll see them next time you visit."
"Ah-beh--" Jiang Huang nodded with a pout.
Ginger nudged its back, as if to comfort it.
Jiang Jun coaxed him gently for a few more times before taking out the new magical bamboo slips from today.
Based on his previous experience of comprehending the "Lotus Seed of Brahma Sound", Jiang Jun used his divine sense to carry true energy and injected it into the bamboo slip, attempting to read the secrets contained within.
Unexpectedly, the attempt was met with setbacks.
The bamboo slips emitted a faint, clear light, and then solidified into seven large seal characters out of thin air.
"Master, do not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits!"
As the clear light flowed, Jiang Jun's true energy dissipated, and his divine sense vanished into nothingness.
The turmeric and ginger juice beside it, when illuminated by the clear light, showed signs of revealing their true forms, transforming into Solomon's seal and Ganoderma lucidum.
Fortunately, the clear light was fleeting.
The turmeric and ginger juice recovered and were so frightened that they jumped three feet away, directly from the greenhouse to the living room.
"Is its power really that domineering?!" Jiang Jun frowned slightly, looked around the greenhouse, and found that several spiritual plants showed signs of turning into ordinary plants.
Fortunately, as the sunlight continued to shine on it, the spiritual plant absorbed the sunlight and transformed it into spiritual energy, which allowed it to gradually recover.
"It seems that I won't be able to understand this thing for the time being."
Jiang Jun shook his head, put away the bamboo slips, and then took out the newly brought-back bizarre plant.
Because of the precedent of successful transformation by turmeric, Jiang Jun first purified the five yellow spirit monsters.
Thanks to the recent promotion by the Golden Stream, Jiang Jun's strength has greatly increased. He purified all five Yellow Spirit Monsters in just one week.
As expected, Jiang Huang gained five followers.
Compared to it, the newly purified Huangjing child has plant roots and stems from the waist down, and its hands are not clearly shaped; it can only be said to have a preliminary human form.
They can't even make an "ah-bee" sound like turmeric; they can only express simple meanings through body movements.
"So they were five little mute children—" Jiang Jun shook his head with a smile.
Turmeric, however, did not care. On the contrary, he was extremely happy and stopped worrying about the lost spiritual plants. Instead, he focused on teaching his younger brothers to practice the Sanskrit mantras.
Unfortunately, these five Huangjing boys were somewhat dull-witted and lacked a bit of wisdom, so they simply couldn't understand it.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Turmeric could only listlessly continue caring for the spiritual plants with them.
Fortunately, these little creatures also receive feedback when caring for the spiritual plants, and they have a certain growth potential, so their future is still bright.
After purifying the Huangjing Ghost Child, it was the turn of the two Ghostly Lingzhi.
This time it only took Jiang Jun three days.
As Jiang Jun predicted, as the eerie nature within was purified, the spirituality of the two was greatly damaged, and they were directly reduced to their original forms.
The shapes of the cow and dog became blurred, and they became two immobile spiritual plants.
Ginger was somewhat disappointed, but she still took on the responsibility of caring for the two members of her clan.
Nourished daily by its spiritual energy, the two Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms are showing signs of becoming more vibrant.
Finally, the two "Polygonum multiflorum blood vines" were purified.
These two were exceptionally ferocious. Even though they were sealed by the Department of Divine Mysteries, they would still occasionally regain their senses and gaze at the Yellow Essence Boy in their home with a sinister and covetous look.
When they develop a bloodthirsty appetite, the bloodstains on their roots seep out, congeal into black blood beads, and emit a strange fragrance, enticing the Solomon's Seal children to lick them.
But Jiang Huang wasn't going to tolerate them. Seeing their disgusting looks, he directly bombarded them with Sanskrit incantations, forcefully extinguishing a small portion of their eerie aura.
Jiang Jun naturally sided with his own "person" and didn't blame them. Instead, he took the opportunity to increase the intensity of the purification.
Another week passed, and the purification of these two "Polygonum multiflorum blood vines" was completed.
"How come there are two old men?" Jiang Jun was somewhat taken aback.
After purification, these two Polygonum multiflorum and Polygonum multiflorum vines resembled puppets, were reddish-brown in color, and had complete hands, feet, and facial features.
Unlike the adorable Huangjing Boy, these two have wrinkled faces that exude a sense of melancholy, making them less appealing.
"Ugh—"
"Ugh—"
The two old men prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing deeply to Jiang Jun, their voices hoarse.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Jun is somewhat of a looks-obsessed person.
He had originally planned that after purifying the two Polygonum multiflorum vines, he could keep one and place it at home with turmeric,
Accompanied by ginger juice.
But now—
He turned his gaze to the two little ones, and sure enough, Jiang Huang also showed great disdain.
Jiang Jun felt that judging someone solely by their appearance was not a good idea, so he decided to hold off for a while and see what their strengths were. If they were exceptionally capable, they could be kept on as an exception.
He then recruited another group of stray cats and dogs to conduct experiments.
The result left him somewhat amused and exasperated.
The effects of this Polygonum multiflorum on injuries and illnesses are extremely limited; it relies entirely on the sustenance of spiritual energy.
But there was an old black dog whose head was half white, but after they took care of it, its fur became black and shiny again.
There was also a blue cat whose chin fur had long turned white, but thanks to their treatment, it regained its glossy, fluffy gray-blue color.
This shows that they haven't forgotten their original aspirations.
Jiang Jun: "————" Forget it, how about we just give it to the Department of Mysteries?
He shook his head in disappointment, preparing to send the cats and dogs, which had recovered from their injuries at home, to cat and dog shelters willing to take them in.
When Jiang Jun called the old black dog into the cage, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
His expression was serious as he used his divine sense to control his true energy, slowly channeling it into the old black dog's body. Then, he was shocked to discover: "Rejuvenation?!"
He gasped, then called the old blue cat over and examined it again.
The result was exactly the same!
Both the cat and the dog no longer looked old; they had become exceptionally healthy.
He then examined the other cats and dogs one by one and found that the older they were, the more significant the changes were.
Those in their prime showed relatively minor changes. Those with two puppies showed no changes at all.
"As expected of He Shou Wu! It lives up to its reputation!"
He suppressed his excitement, paced back and forth in the room, pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "This ability is far too important! I am in the prime of my life, and keeping it will be of no use to me, but sending it to the Department of Supernatural Powers will be of great use!"
He naturally remembered that day when the strange realm descended, and four extraordinary realm experts from the Divine Realm made a move. Apart from Su Tie, the other three were already old and frail.
"With the help of this Polygonum multiflorum, they might actually be able to live a second life!"
Although the "Polygonum multiflorum Blood Vine" is only an elite-level monster, the spiritual objects purified from it cannot reach the extraordinary level.
But aren't there also supernatural objects?
Perhaps some kind of mystical object has a similar effect; if the two are combined, who knows, it might even rejuvenate someone in the transcendent realm?
If this matter succeeds, it will greatly enhance the power of the Divine Bureau, not only ensuring the safety of the Chinese land, but also providing him with stronger support during his tribulation.
He looked at the two old-looking He Shou Wu plants and laughed, "Since you are no longer He Shou Wu blood vines, it's time to give you new names."
After much thought, he clapped his hands and said, "He Shou Wu also has the nickname 'Shan Weng' (山翁). From now on, your tribe will be named 'Shan Weng'!"
Upon hearing this, the two old men from the mountains beamed with joy, and once again prostrated themselves before Jiang Jun, bowing three times: "Oh my god!!!"
Jiang Huang tilted her head, looking at Jiang Jun with disbelief, as if to say: You weren't like this before!
Jiang Jun chuckled and patted its little head: "I made the same mistake as you, judging by appearances. That's not good; we should both reflect on it."
Although Turmeric was puzzled, he nodded earnestly. Ginger juice beside him also nodded, as if in agreement.
Although it has been decided to send the two mountain elders to the Department of Mysteries, there are still some loose ends to be sorted out.
Jiang Jun took the "Ghostly Prohibition" talisman from the window and unleashed its power to the fullest extent.
A faint, clear light flashed and entered the old man's mind.
Before long, their impression of Jiang Jun gradually faded, and they only knew that there was a great being who redeemed them from their monstrous depravity and gave them the power to rejuvenate.
Looking at the sleeping old man, Jiang Jun nodded slightly, then looked at the five yellow spirit boys and gestured to Jiang Huang, saying, "Choose two to keep him company, and I will send the other three to the Department of Divine Wonders."
After much deliberation, Jiang Huang finally chose the two most lively ones to keep: "Ah Bei!"
Jiang Jun followed the same method, blurring his own image in the consciousness of the three Huangjing children.
Unlike before when turmeric and ginger juice were used to visit the Qingjiang City Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, the trust built up previously was there, and the "Vajra Lotus Seed" could be sensed at any time, making the risks relatively controllable.
This time, the two mountain elders and the three yellow spirit boys went to the Department of Mysteries, and who knows where they will end up being sent.
If you encounter someone with ulterior motives, or if something unexpected happens, someone might use methods like soul-searching.
Jiang Jun's move was merely a precautionary measure to prevent problems before they arise.
The remaining two Ganoderma lucidum plants did not have many miraculous effects, but Jiang Jun decided to keep them because he really liked Jiang Jue.
The two little guys, exactly one "person" with two younger brothers of the same clan, didn't show favoritism towards either side.
Once everything was ready, Jiang Jun returned to the Mirror World, to the same cat café.
Cai Liang and Zhao Jing appeared one after the other.
Before long, Liu Yan was invited over by Cai Liang.
Upon learning of "Old Man of the Mountain's" abilities, Liu Yan was speechless with shock, remaining stunned for a long time before exclaiming, "Senior is truly amazing!"
Jiang Jun laughed and said, "It's just a matter of fate. The ability of the mutated plants to be purified into spiritual plants is not something I can control; it's all their own destiny."
Liu Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "To be honest, senior, strange creatures age people quickly. Within our Department of Supernatural Beings, there are quite a few seniors who are old and frail and facing backlash."
"Over the years, the company has tried many methods and collected a lot of magical objects that reflect the laws of time, but it can only reverse time on a small scale. It can't rewind time for a long period of time at all."
She bowed solemnly to Jiang Jun: "With the assistance of these two venerable elders, I believe a major breakthrough will not be far off. I thank you in advance, senior."
"Director Liu, there's no need for such formalities." Jiang Jun waved his hand. "The Department of Divine Wonders is the pillar of our Great Xia Dynasty, the golden bridge spanning the sea. I am quite pleased to be able to help you."
He then pointed to the three Huangjing Boys: "These three little creatures may not have great abilities, but they are very good at taking care of the wounded and tending to spiritual plants. I hope your company will take good care of them as well."
Liu Yan quickly replied, "Of course, our Department of Mystic Arts has always cherished spiritual plants, let alone these little spiritual creatures."
Jiang Jun nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Seeing that his teacher and the senior from the Department of Mysteries had reached an agreement, Zhao Jing hesitated to speak.
Observing the situation, Liu Yan took the initiative to ask, "Does Xiao Jing have something to say?"
Zhao Jing pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Jun, but the other man's twelve-tasseled crown hung down, making it impossible to see his expression.
He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said bluntly, "Teacher, Director Liu, I want to ask an old man in the mountains for a favor."
Before Jiang Jun could react, Liu Yan already understood: "Is it for your grandfather?"
Zhao Jing blushed slightly and nodded shyly.
Before Jiang Jun could express his opinion, Liu Yan said with a smile, "In principle, the spiritual objects of the Department of Supernatural Beings should be registered before being allocated and used in a unified manner."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Zhao Jing's face.
"However, before the register is made, these 'mountain elders' are still with the seniors. Asking them for a small favor is naturally not against the principles." Liu Yan smoothed things over.
Zhao Jing was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you so much, teacher! Thank you so much, Director Liu!"
Liu Yan smiled slightly, then looked at Cai Liang: "What about you, Cai? Do you have any elders at home who need to be rejuvenated?"
Cai Liang shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness." The implication was that he didn't need it.
Liu Yan didn't ask any further questions, and extended her hand to the two old men and three boys with yellow essence: "In the future, I hope you will take good care of me!"
Huangjing Tongzi looked somewhat bewildered.
The two old men enthusiastically stepped forward and extended their withered hands, no bigger than fingers, to Liu Yan: "Mmm!"
Liu Yan raised an eyebrow, shook hands with each of them, and then patted the heads of the Huangjing boys: "Then, gentlemen, please come with me back to the Department of Mysteries."
