871: Chapter 555.2 871: Chapter 555.2 Those working on tasks here were assigned high-level tasks.
Besides taking on tasks, they also needed to cultivate; indeed, the burden on them was quite heavy!
After all, there were only a few hundred of them managing an entire base that spanned hundreds of miles!
In such a large area, where Spirit Plants were cultivated everywhere, they had to be self-sufficient!
Apart from medicinal fields and crop farming lands.
There were also orchards spanning hundreds of miles, dozens of large mountains, and several small ones, and even more plain areas.
Just managing these lands, aside from their assigned tasks, kept them busy enough!
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin couldn’t bear to pull some people from their duties to perform tasks outside the base!
They even brought along the goods they had obtained from completing tasks during this period and sold them at shops outside the base!
They also distributed some of the seafood and meat that Jiang Tang had obtained in the past couple of months to them to try something fresh!
For those working on tasks here, they felt rewarded and comforted, making their monotonous daily tasks in this secluded place more bearable and granting them moments of joy!
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin bade farewell to them; those people were too busy to talk more with them or even see them off.
They had more important things to do now, which was to copy the Secret Manuals.
With all these manuals to copy and cultivation to ponder, how could they have time to think about anything else?
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin walked together around the entire base once more before they reluctantly left the base.
They did not head to another base!
The exit they used was not the same one they had entered through; this base had four exits in the north, south, east, and west!
The time they used was not much, and the two bases were not far apart; they took only a day to move from one side to the other!
These were places that others deemed of no lodging value and devoid of Spiritual Energy, without any mineral resources!
Such places, seemingly uninhabited and secluded by monkeys, actually had abundant resources, the specifics of which they did not know!
The Saint Master had not yet opened up the resources of the base; he only used their energy to renovate and transform the entire base into an energy base!
Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan appeared at the entrance of another base!
This base also required an Identity Jade, and they could enter only with their fingerprints!
From the outside, they could see nothing of the base; it appeared dark, and the Black Mist obscured the view of those outside!
Even with their Divine Sense, they could not see what it was like inside!
The two knew that perhaps their abilities were insufficient, or perhaps even stronger individuals could not guess what it was like inside!
They were even more convinced of the Array set up by Jiang Tang; not to say they could break it, perhaps not even high-ability personnel could!
They had witnessed firsthand that even highly skilled individuals could not break the Seal set by Jiang Tang!
It showed how formidable the Buddhist Seal was; perhaps only an Immortal could break it!
Here, they were both proud and couldn’t help but sigh; with such a bright future, why had the Saint Master and some others disappeared?
What was the reason for their disappearance?
This answer could only be explained by finding him, perhaps tied to that legend, that legendary place where they stayed!
Are the Elves in that legend truly so formidable?
Does the Demon Realm in the west compare to the mythical Elves from their eastern legends?
This is only speculative, known only to those who have experienced it firsthand!
But can those who’ve experienced it firsthand still come back alive to tell?
How exactly did that legend spread?
That too remains a mystery!
Luo Yaxuan placed his Identity Jade and fingerprint on a position they knew, and suddenly the gate lit up; he was transported inside!
Watching his comrade enter the base, Lai Jianlin quickly followed suit, inserting his Identity Jade and fingerprint into a position; he too was transported inside!
As the two entered, they used their Identity Jades, and no announcement of visitors was made within the base!
They had only reported the two of them entering the base when the voice from this place returned!
Ding Ling thought and hoped for Lai Jianlin’s return; his departure had spanned ten or twenty days, feeling as long as a decade or two.
So long!
The two could communicate using the Communication Artifact and even see each other through it, but it wasn’t like seeing each other in person, not being by their side.
He still missed him so dearly and thought about him every day!
Now, at this moment, he had returned, and Ding Ling ran out without a care!
The dozens of boys and girls Jiang Tang had sent back last time were being taught by these women every day!
There were also some children recruited from various places who had become the new generation of disciples at their base!
Because these people were too young, besides daily care, they also needed to be taught and have abilities imparted to them!
In their base, there were only a few highly capable women, and they became the teaching elder sisters!
Ding Ling was one of the elder sisters and was both an elder sister and like a master!
Although some disciples had other women as their masters, those people were not here and could not often impart their abilities!
These people included the nine women around Jiang Tang.
Liu Jiaojiao also ran out with her; she had always resented her senior brother for going far away without taking her along!
This time, the Saint Master had taken in so many children, some of whom were rescued; those children needed someone to impart abilities to them!
She and her mother had also become one of the masters, and as a young woman of fifteen or sixteen, she felt a significant sense of accomplishment being a master for the first time!
When the two of them heard the clear name, they ran out, leaving the other women shaking their heads helplessly, but fortunately, their lovers were always at the base!
Liu Jiaojiao’s mother, smiling as her daughter ran out, had not seen her son-in-law in a long time; both she and her daughter missed him.
Her husband missed him too!
After all, her husband was Luo Yaxuan’s master!
Once a teacher, always a father!
Even though this master’s ability might now be on par with Luo Yaxuan, their abilities had become equal!
Lai Jianlin saw Ding Ling, who was using the Flying Treasure and rushing towards him in the sky, and smiled as he extended his hands!
Ding Ling, filled with adoration, hurled herself towards Lai Jianlin and tightly embraced this handsome man!
Her face flushed, she shyly looked at the lover she had missed day and night!
Lai Jianlin missed his junior disciple too.
After falling in love with his junior disciple, he truly understood what love was!
For their mission, for their ideals, they sometimes had to separate, leaving the side of their loved one, yet their hearts were still connected!
Lai Jianlin embraced this beautiful junior disciple, flying in the sky; they seemed to forget everything else, forget others, but they forgot about their peers!
They only had each other’s presence, and the two of them embraced and playfully flew around the sky!
Liu Jiaojiao was a bit late.
Seeing his brother being so unrestrained, Luo Yaxuan, upon seeing his junior disciple coming over, embraced her without hesitation!
Liu Jiaojiao looked at her senior brother with deep affection, “Senior brother, why did you only just come back?”
Luo Yaxuan returned a weak look, “Hmm, have you been well here?”
Liu Jiaojiao pouted, “Not good, you weren’t by my side!”
Luo Yaxuan stroked her hair, “Be good, we have tasks to do.
I came back this time also for some matters!”
Hearing that her senior brother did not come back just to see her but for other matters, Liu Jiaojiao, unhappy, let tears drip down, “Senior brother, don’t leave this time, take me with you!”
Seeing his junior disciple’s tears, Luo Yaxuan, while wiping her tears, couldn’t help but soften his heart, “Okay, next time we go out, I will definitely take you with me!”
Luo Yaxuan was not sure whether he would stick to this promise, but hearing it made Liu Jiaojiao smile happily!
Luo Yaxuan looked at his junior disciple, who was both crying and laughing, wiped her tears, and pinched her face, “No more crying, or you’ll get ugly!”
Liu Jiaojiao’s face was pinched, “Senior brother, you’re mean!
Annoying!”
“Hahaha!” Luo Yaxuan was happily laughing out loud!
