Ren Jian's words made Bao Bao and Ba Jiu lower their heads even further.
The task their sister had given them was not completed.
The two felt they had let Ming Yue down, especially since they knew in their hearts.
Ming Yue had entrusted all the remaining seeds to them.
It was all to solve everyone's problem of survival.
It was the hope for survival, and yet...
Not a single crop had been planted. They felt immense self-reproach.
When Ming Yue learned of this outcome, she too fell silent, her expression troubled.
"Good daughter, have you encountered a problem you cannot solve?"
Ming Ya Nan, holding He Si's hand, walked back from a distance.
Seeing Ming Yue's displeased expression, she asked curiously.
She and He Si had been immersed in the joy of their reunion.
They hadn't noticed what was happening here at all.
Ming Yue briefly explained the current predicament.
There were no rooms to house the immigrants from the Xuan Realm, and the food shortage would not last long.
For some unknown reason, the land could not grow plants.
These problems were obvious.
Even if Ming Yue didn't want her mother to worry, she couldn't hide them.
"Good daughter, don't worry. Perhaps Mother can help you.
He Si, give me the jade pendant you have."
Ming Ya Nan turned and said to He Si with a smile.
He Si looked bewildered, thinking.
Hadn't Ming Ya Nan just looked at the jade pendant a moment ago?
Just now, he had held the jade pendant and told his wife that he always kept the things she left behind with him.
Looking at the jade pendant would remind him of her.
At that time, his wife had also instructed him to keep it safe, so why was she asking for it now?
However, He Si had always been obedient to Ming Ya Nan.
He obediently took the jade pendant from his neck and placed it in his wife's hand.
Ming Yue and the others didn't know what Ming Ya Nan intended to do.
But since Ming Ya Nan said she could help Ming Yue solve the problem, they all stared intently at her actions.
Ming Yue stood beside her mother and immediately recognized the jade pendant.
In the original owner's memories, this jade pendant existed.
When she was young, she had even played with it as a toy.
It was a dark green circular jade tablet, with swastika patterns around the edge.
The front had a pattern of a building, and the back should have had three characters.
The original owner, being young at the time, didn't recognize them.
As Ming Yue reminisced, Ming Ya Nan's eyes began to change.
They emitted a purple light, which shone upon the jade pendant in her hand.
The dark green jade pendant, illuminated by the purple light, suddenly flew into the air.
Then, with a violent shake, it disappeared.
"Wow! Auntie, what kind of ability is that?
No, that's not an ability, that's practically immortal magic!
Are you the Bodhisattva Guanyin, the savior of the suffering, who grants all wishes?"
Ren Jian knelt exaggeratedly before Ming Ya Nan, clasping his hands together, bowing repeatedly.
His usual playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a face full of piety.
Not only him, but even the knowledgeable and unflappable Ming Yue and Ji Shiyou.
Were stunned, because the scene before them was too astonishing.
Just now, after the jade pendant disappeared, the entire Tianzhu Peak.
From its summit to its base, countless buildings had appeared out of thin air.
There were thousands of them, with courtyards, pavilions, and palaces.
The architectural styles varied, encompassing all forms they had ever seen.
Some were magnificent and resplendent, others grand and imposing.
Some were rustic and charming, others solemn and elegant.
...
The originally bare, dark Tianzhu Peak, which had been lifeless.
Now, with these buildings, it immediately became vibrant and full of life.
"Mother, what is this?"
At first, Ming Yue, like Ren Jian, believed Ming Ya Nan's cultivation was supreme.
That she had conjured these buildings out of thin air with her magic power. But she, bearing the Heavenly Dao Disk and the Creation Red Silk,
Could not detect any fluctuation of magic power, so she asked in confusion.
"Silly child, Mother has no cultivation.
I only have the useless Insightful Eyes. All of this is thanks to the jade pendant.
It has a name, called Qian Sha Jian.
It means ten thousand mansions integrated within.
You know the origin of the Xuan Realm from your uncle, right? The ancestors who established the Xuan Realm.
They were unwilling to move to the three thousand great worlds created by the Heavenly Dao, so they established the Xuan Realm.
These ancestors were very weak compared to the creation saints.
But each of them possessed a special skill they excelled at.
Like our Yue family's ancestor, who was skilled in architecture.
He spent his life engrossed in building houses, but the land in the Xuan Realm was limited.
There was no extra space to place his creations.
So, he devised a method.
Every time he completed a work, he would use his magic power to integrate it into this jade pendant.
Over time, so many were accumulated.
And the Insightful Eyes are a symbol of the Yue family bloodline.
Only the Insightful Eyes can open Qian Sha Jian and release these buildings.
But due to the great age and diluted bloodline,
Many generations of Yue family descendants have had no one with Insightful Eyes.
And although I cannot cultivate like my brother,
I inherited the family's Insightful Eyes. At that time, your uncle had already inherited the Gate of All Wonders.
And became the guardian of the Xuan Realm, so he gave the Yue family's heirloom treasures.
Qian Sha Jian and Ju Huan Yan, all to me."
Ming Ya Nan reached out and helped Ren Jian up from the ground, explaining the origin of the jade pendant to her daughter.
"May I have a mansion of ten thousand rooms, to shelter all the poor scholars and make them joyful!
Mother, Qian Sha Jian is the jade pendant, and within it are ten thousand mansions.
Then Ju Huan Yan, is it your bracelet?"
Ming Yue exclaimed, what could make everyone joyful?
It was freedom from want, food and clothing! She thought of her own spatial bracelet.
Inside it were fertile lands and abundant resources.
Living like a paradise, everyone would wear happy smiles. Thus, she asked uncertainly.
"That's right, that bracelet is Ju Huan Yan.
The Yue family's ancestral grandmother was skilled in the Way of Space.
Seeing the ancestor integrate buildings into the jade pendant, she was inspired.
She created a space within a jade bracelet.
It contained mountains and rivers, countless resources, and vast fertile farmlands.
Your father told me that the jade bracelet is in your hands.
Is it still there? If it is.
Mother can help you merge the space within it with this world.
Then the food problem will be solved, won't it?
You can plant anything. Not just twenty thousand people.
Even two million people can be supported!"
Ming Ya Nan said with a smile, happy to be able to share her daughter's burdens.
"Mom, I might disappoint you. Ju Huan Yan was broken by me."
Ming Yue said softly, not expecting her jade bracelet.
Was her mother's heirloom, something passed down from the Yue family ancestors.
The self-detonation last time caused the space to degenerate, and now it only retains its storage function.
All the mountains, rivers, and vast farmlands have disappeared.
"It's broken, so it's broken. Don't blame yourself.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved. Mother cannot help with other matters.
But I still have a pair of Insightful Eyes. Isn't that enough for vast farmlands?
The land in this Xuan Realm is more than vast. Tomorrow morning, Mother will go and help you see.
What is the reason why nothing can be grown.
Everyone is tired now. As the newly appointed guardian of the Xuan Realm,
Shouldn't you first assign everyone their residences so they can rest early?"
Ming Ya Nan stroked Ming Yue's head, comforting her gently.
At the same time, she felt heartache for her daughter, who was burdened with too many worries.
"Me! Me! Me!
I have a request!"
Ji Shiyou, upon hearing about the assignment of residences, jumped up and shouted.
