Chapter 718 – Distribution of Treasures and other things…

Moon Aiko took a while to recover from the spinning, but she still had one important question in mind.

"But don't you need to circulate those energies?" Moon Aiko tilted her head. There was no way that Mei would attempt that by han-

"You can just do it by hand." Mei chuckled happily. She finally found a way to get those seeds to sprout~!

"..." Moon Aiko had a questioning gaze, but Mei completely ignored her.

"She probably intends to do a few, then grow them before using the seeds of the new flowers." Danji suggested, since Mei was in her own world right now.

"That... would make sense, but wouldn't that take too much time?" Moon Aiko tilted her head. She believed it would be faster if there were as many seeds as possible.

"There is apparently an Array that can speed things up, but I don't know much about it." Danji shook her head. She did hear from her dad about something like that, but she never really cared to learn more.

She liked to play with her brother and that was about it. Well, she could still do that, but it would be strange since she was now really powerful.

"Hmmmm." Moon Aiko pondered about her sub-profession. If what Danji said was true, then she could use the same thing for her small trees!

'I wonder if I can make everything small...' Moon Aiko groaned unhappily.

[It is possible.]

The system suddenly answered her.

'You know that I don't like it when you answer only some questions, right?' Moon Aiko's eyebrows twitched. She really wanted to smack the system, but there were too many eyes on her.

[Because only some questions can be answered at the moment without any repercussions.]

'Yeah, yeah.' Moon Aiko waved her hand and sat down. She observed the other Foxes and how they were doing.

The Seer was running around bothering pretty much everyone, but surprisingly everyone was very sweet to her.

It seemed like not only the overly old Fox was happy that the Seer was now free.

Another point of contention was Danji's brother. He was talking with the Shadows Peak Elder about something, but...

'She is completely infatuated...' Moon Aiko didn't believe she heard a single word of his. Well, it might be possible she was still keeping up with the conversation, but with that kind of face, Moon Aiko was doubtful.

It was time to switch the Fox Elders. Not only did the guard Fox Elders rotate, but also the Fox Elders that operated the continental flying ships, thanks to Chen Shi's modifications.

'He is surprisingly hardworking when he is not thinking with his dick.' Moon Aiko nodded her head slowly.

There were some other flying ships accompanying them. They were part of the Southern Sect Grandmaster's entourage, so Moon Aiko didn't need to pay as much attention to them.

What was surprising was that nobody sought her out and that the other Human Cultivators stayed on their ships instead of coming over like the Grandmaster.

'Puzzling.' Moon Aiko was curious, but as curious as she was, she was also very tired, so she would just go rest again.

-----

Just as Moon Aiko fell asleep, the doors opened.

The duo laughed happily, obviously very intoxicated.

It seemed like both of them were happy, so the other Foxes turned blind eye to this.

-----

Moon Aiko woke up on that semi-comfortable bed, wondering how she got into this 'shack'.

"Awake? How are you feeling?" Mei smiled gently, while making some Pills in the same room.

Danji was reading something, and sorting it.

Moon Aiko looked around for a while before asking.

"What is happening?" She was curious why both of them were working so hard.

"We intend to do a small tournament to give out the Treasures, but we don't have enough information about the other Foxes." Mei sighed softly. Everything would be working well if the previous Fox Elders kept notes about their Disciples, but nothing like that was happening.

Pretty much everyone was guessing the power of their Disciples, making it a lot messier than it was supposed to be.

"There is no information whatsoever, so we need that tournament to record what kind of elements are prevalent and what we should stockpile." Danji added. The element used by the fewest Foxes would be the element that would be used for bargaining. If the elements were close to each other in number, then they would just proceed with the other plan.

"Why not use those Treasures during the deal?" Moon Aiko tilted her head.

"I may have... forgotten that only Foxes have pseudo-human bodies, making it difficult for other Beasts to use our Treasures. While we can't use the Human-based Treasures, everything else could only be used by Foxes and only a few by other Beasts." Mei sighed again. Her thinking was still in the Immortal World, so she was missing quite a lot of information and her common sense was warped like Aiko's.

"I see, and we will make room for more things since the Foxes having those Treasures would make more free space." Moon Aiko nodded her head. She already believed that Mei gave out some Treasures, but it seemed like they had a lot more than Aiko expected.

"We won't go through all the Treasures until we land in the safe-zone, so for now we are just sorting them based on their utility and category." Danji added those words, since she was unwilling to work more than she already did.

Of course, if Aiko asked her to do this, she would be more than happy to continue, but Aiko would never do that, so she could accompany her around~!

"That's a good idea." Moon Aiko intended to pick up a few Treasures along the way.

"Just don't take too much stuff." Mei already knew those eyes, so she immediately warned Aiko.

"Why do you think I have tails storage?" Moon Aiko snorted unhappily. If Mei was unwilling to store it then Moon Aiko would just store it in her tails! At least the Demonic Foxes inside would have something to do instead of just writhe in pain.

"I also made some soothing Pills for the Demonic Foxes." Mei more or less understood what was going on, but giving them the 'cure' for this was currently impossible.

It was not about Mei being unwilling to part with those Herbs. They did not have the specific Herbs at all, so Mei couldn't help Aiko speed things up unfortunately...

"Thank you~" Moon Aiko hummed happily. She requested a few things from her team for the Demonic Foxes, since they worked hard and Moon Aiko didn't want them to be in pain.

"I swear I will build that damn Cauldron as soon as possible!" Mei swore seriously, since only a Sect Cauldron could refine more than a few Pills at a time.

She quickly knew that what Aiko held was sent to her by fate, since she wouldn't have to work as hard as before, while she enjoyed what she achieved during her previous lifetimes.

She was used to refining Pills in the Sect Cauldron, so she wouldn't waste as many materials as those that were still learning.

Of course, she was not perfect and would have to adjust, but that was much better than spending decades to just learn how to operate that thing!

Moon Aiko smiled softly. It seemed like everyone was hard at work, so she would join them with learning the other Rune-based professions!

While it wouldn't make her into a master, she would be able to learn enough for her to put it in practice once she arrived at the Beast Sect!

Practice was not as important since she would have plenty of time during her Human Body Stage.

..................

"Can we land?" Moon Aiko was more tired than usual.

"We are almost there." Mei patted her head. "Thanks to the Fox Elders taking turns and the other Fox Elders powering your flying boat. We can make this journey a lot faster than we expected.

"Nobody caught up with us yet?" Moon Aiko was slightly startled that they were able to escape so easily.

"The Northern Sect will probably pursue us, but they won't be able to catch up to us." Mei smirked. "While we might not be going at top speed, our speed is consistent."

"Meaning that they won't be able to catch up to us unless they do the same thing and go at full speed." Moon Aiko pondered about it, but this was quite the impressive feat.

"Usually you have to land the ship in order to exchange the ownership of the ship and thus be able to manoeuvre the continental flying ship, but fortunately, Chen Shi modified it enough that we don't have to care about that at all!

"That's very impressive." Moon Aiko nodded her head. She didn't think that Chen Shi would be so useful!

"Stop it." Chen Shi sighed. "That's just patchwork, it's not that impressive and if you-" He pointed at Aiko. "Had a bit more knowledge, you would be able to do this too."

"I'm working on it." Moon Aiko nodded her head seriously before pausing. "What are you doing inside here?"

"I'm also resting." Chen Shi rolled his eyes. "I was invited by them, by the way." He immediately defended himself, just in case Aiko wanted to kick him.

"I didn't say anything." Moon Aiko shrugged at his second sentence. It was not like they were bathing, so they didn't need to kick him out.

Pretty much everyone slept with clothes on, since there was no need to change them with the [Clean] technique around.

"He is also correcting the flying boat slightly, so it's less of a burden on you." Mei said seriously while observing the tired Aiko.

"That is- Thank you." Moon Aiko was happy, and she did feel a subtle difference in consumption.

"It's pretty shit, this flying boat has most Arrays and Inscriptions baked into the frame, making it really hard to rewrite or even adjust." Chen Shi sighed. He had the worst work out of everyone, but he couldn't really complain.

Everything was going very smoothly, so much so that it made him restless.

"How far are we?" Moon Aiko asked Mei.

"Only a few days and we will be there." Mei smiled while focusing on her Cauldron, so that it wouldn't blow up inside this 'small' room.

"That's something I like to hear~" Moon Aiko smiled from ear to ear and went to bed again...
