Chapter 436 Planting grass? We are here to cultivate immortality, not to farm!
Seven days later.
Mao Shi.
Lingshan Square is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the morning light is just beginning to shine through.
Today's trial ends with everyone's attention.
The square was filled with noise and all the monks looked up at the four figures sitting on the high platform.
The main seat in the center is Lingshan Sect Master Chen Xuan, who is wearing a blue robe with a star totem embroidered on the cuffs. He has white hair and a youthful face, and he strokes his long beard with his hand, looking very amiable.
On his left was the Wuji Sect's leader, Shuangyue, dressed in white as white as snow, with a white jade hairpin in her hair. Her eyes were cold and clear, as if they were untouched by the world.
Sitting on the right is Jun Yan, the leader of the Tianyan Sect. He is wearing a blue robe with an exquisite belt wrapped around his waist. His eyes are like torches that seem to be able to burn the void.
At his side was the Nine Yang True Man of the Nine Yang Divine Sect, wearing a golden lotus crown, a bright yellow Taoist robe, holding a whisk, and golden light flowing around him.
The four of them sat quietly on the high platform, their aura as overwhelming as an abyss, silencing the entire audience.
Everyone's gaze finally fell on the empty imperial throne, which belonged to Emperor Yun Che.
"Why hasn't the Emperor appeared yet?"
A monk muttered in a low voice.
"The Emperor was absent from today's awards ceremony?"
"Could it be...something happened?"
The monks were talking about it.
Suddenly, he slowly stood up, his eyes swept over the thousands of monks, and his voice was loud and clear:
"The Emperor is in retreat and should not be disturbed lightly."
"I have called you all together today not for a casual gathering, but to announce three things."
The crowd held its breath.
"First, those who pass the trial will receive their rewards according to the rules."
"second……"
"Those who violate the sect rules in the trial ground will be severely punished."
The crowd was shocked, some were happy, while others lowered their heads in guilt.
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he lifted his outer robe and sat down elegantly.
At this moment, Shuang Yue slowly stood up, opened her red lips, and spoke in a voice like an icy spring dripping on stone:
"The third thing is that my Wuji Sect will take the lead in holding a 'Planting Competition'."
She raised her hand, and a book appeared in the air. On it was a picture of a small green grass with seven-lobed leaves, emitting a faint silver light.
"Whoever can cultivate one thousand fully mature, seventh-grade soul-nourishing herbs within a year will receive an 'Emperor's Order'!"
"Those holding this order can enter the top floor of the Sutra Repository and comprehend the long-lost 'Taichu Daojing'. They can also call upon any spiritual vein for three days!"
"Even... after the Emperor comes out of seclusion, he can personally guide me."
There was an uproar.
This reward is enough to make the Yuanying old monster excited.
But then, doubts arose.
"Growing grass? We are here to cultivate immortality, not to farm!"
A burly man roared, he was a swordsman from the Tianyan Sect.
"That's right! Let's water and fertilize? And plant soul-nourishing grass!"
Another person echoed.
"Do you know that a seventh-level soul-nourishing grass..."
"It absorbs the remnant souls of heaven and earth, and purifies the resentment of wronged deaths."
"What you call 'farming' is actually helping the souls of the dead to be reborn and prolonging the life of the cultivation world!"
Her voice was still light, but every word was as sharp as a knife.
"The Emperor needs this herb to stabilize his soul during his cultivation!"
"Without this herb, the Emperor will go astray and fail to transcend the tribulation. When the sacred mountain collapses, can your swords withstand it?"
silence.
Everyone lowered their heads.
A young female cultivator asked in a trembling voice:
"What if...what if we don't know how to plant?"
Shimotsuki finally revealed a smile:
"The Wuji Sect will open the 'Soul Cultivation Hall' to teach the art of cultivation."
"In addition, anyone who registers can receive three 'Spirit Concentration Pills' every month to prevent soul power backlash."
This completely shook people's hearts.
Chen Xuan looked at the crowd below which was gradually becoming excited, and then his gaze quietly shifted to Shuangyue beside him.
He knew that this planting competition was not for the purpose of nourishing soul grass.
But to save Yun Che.
Because the real secret is:
Yun Che was not attempting to transcend the tribulation.
But the body has been shattered, and the soul has disappeared!
And this news was known to only six people: Chen Xuan, Shuang Yue, Jun Yan, Jiuyang Zhenren Xingze, and Jin Xi.
Frost Moon issued the planting order in order to gather strength.
Let’s plant soul-nourishing grass together and refine soul-nourishing pills!
They concealed the truth in order to avoid unrest among the people and to avoid the evil cultivators taking advantage of the situation.
In the bustling crowd, Jin Xi's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the white shadow on the platform.
His eyes were fixed on the fluttering hem of Shuangyue's skirt, and his heart was suddenly moved.
Jin Xi secretly admired in his heart, his eyes revealing admiration that was difficult to conceal:
Frost Moon, you really have good tricks!
If you can save my uncle, then he won’t be able to leave you…”
Thinking of this, Jin Xi suddenly made up his mind.
He raised his hands suddenly and shouted:
"Master, I sign up. I'm willing to grow soul-nourishing grass!"
This shout instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Many female cultivators cast admiring glances at him.
They were whispering and talking among themselves.
"This little Qilin is quite good. Not only is he handsome, but he's also very courageous. He's worthy of being sent to the academy by the Emperor!"
"Yeah, that's right. I'll sign up too and plant soul-nourishing grass with the little Qilin!"
Jin Xi's figure flashed and he was standing on the platform in an instant.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
"Little Qilin also wants to sign up!"
"How about I reward you with one thousand taels of purple gold and medium-grade spirit stones? This is a rare opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Xi's eyes widened instantly and he asked:
"Ah, one thousand taels? Really?"
Shuangyue was startled.
She quickly used secret voice transmission to say to Jin Xi:
Jin Xi, stop making trouble!
Just you, come and plant soul-nourishing grass?
You'll just eat all the spiritual herbs around the spiritual field!"
Jin Xi grinned.
“Hey hey *^_^*”
Also use the secret voice transmission to reply:
"Master, you are so good and so beautiful!"
"I want you...to be my...aunt!"
"I will definitely grow the soul-nourishing grass well!"
"I'll plant it the way you say. If you can save my uncle, I'll do whatever you say!"
Frost Moon frowned slightly when she heard this, but then smiled softly and said:
"Jin Xi, cultivate the soul-nourishing grass well, and you will certainly receive the reward!"
"As long as you work hard, Luoge will be at your disposal in the future."
Jin Xi secretly rejoiced in his heart:
Shuangyue, you can actually sell Sister Luoge to me to use?
But I, Jin Xi, want you to obey me in the future!
Below, everyone was excited when they heard about such a reward.
They rushed to shout:
"Me, and me! I want to sign up too!"
All of a sudden, many people rushed to sign up, and the scene was extremely lively.
However, Mu Qing, who was standing in the Tianyan Sect team, curled his lips in disdain:
"Only a thousand taels? Planting grass! I, Mu Qing, will not participate!"
However, Mu Shaoxuan from the team opposite her jokingly said:
"Mu Qing, how can a young lady like you grow spiritual herbs?"
Mu Qing's face darkened when he heard this, and he scolded:
"Mu Shaoxuan, shut up!"
……
On the high platform, Chen Xuan stood up and announced loudly:
"Monks, be silent!"
"Those who need to register, please come on stage to sign in and receive the spirit stones."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a book leaf appeared in the air and slowly opened. The book leaf was two meters long, which was shocking to watch.
Then, he threw dozens of brushes in his hand into the air!
The brushes were suspended in the air, waiting for everyone's signatures.
Someone below shouted in surprise:
"No way! Why is this sign-in booklet so long? It must have tens of thousands of names on it!"
Mu Qing looked at the book and thought to himself:
"Why hasn't that cat demon Xu Wan come yet?
You didn't even sign up for the last trial, what a loser, hiding away and not daring to show up!"
