In the last life, Qi Zhiheng was a low-level cultivator with poor personal quality in the Xuanyue mainland, which was respected by martial arts. He was expelled from his home and became a small lan...
Qi Zhiheng, completely unaware of his sons' thoughts, thought he had finally vindicated himself and felt quite happy. After patting his sons' heads, he returned to the house.
Having just obtained a considerable number of spiritual veins from the sect leader, Qi Zhiheng immediately buried these veins into his spatial dimension. Subsequently, a thick fog rose in the space, just like when the last major change occurred.
Qi Zhiheng, who was able to change the rules, planned to make certain modifications to the space during this spatial anomaly!
He has mastered a certain amount of the power of rules. Although he can only use fire attributes to protect himself outside, he can control many more rules in space.
Leaving aside other aspects, he can still handle the conversion between energy, and he'll give it a try this time.
Qi Zhiheng did not go out this time, but stood in the thick fog.
Completely altering the space is not easy, so this time he can only try to transform one thing first.
He knew of a spiritual spring that was beneficial to cultivators, spirit beasts, and spirit herbs alike, and at that moment, he wanted to create such a spiritual spring in this space.
Such a spiritual spring naturally needs to be converted using other things. Therefore, he decided to use some spiritual veins to convert it. At the same time, he also limited the development of the space area. It was completely unnecessary to use spiritual veins to exchange for the expansion of the space area. The current size of the space was already enough for him to use. Using the power of spiritual veins to expand the land would be a waste. Therefore, he decided to convert the option of expanding the land into a spiritual spring.
This time, it took a full half month for one side of the space to evolve. Even Qi Zhiheng did not expect that because of his intervention, the evolution of the space would be much slower, but at the same time, it would change according to the evolution method that Qi Zhiheng wanted. In addition to the spiritual energy in the space being more concentrated, a spiritual spring also appeared!
The appearance of this spiritual spring greatly excited the Heavenly Water Beast, which already lived in the space. It wished it could go in, roll around, and drink a few mouthfuls!
Qi Zhiheng was almost scared out of his wits; this was no joke! They could drink from the spiritual spring, but if the Heavenly Water Beast rolled around in it, they would never be able to drink from it again.
Who could drink the bathwater from the Heavenly Water Beast?
This pool of spiritual spring wasn't very large, covering an area of about twenty square meters and about one meter deep, which was really too big for the size of the Heavenly Water Beasts.
Qi Zhiheng took out a large container and filled it with the Heavenly Water Beast to prevent it from going in and wasting his spiritual spring.
After explaining some things, Qi Zhiheng left the space. His law abilities were not inexhaustible. After converting one pool of spiritual spring, he was exhausted. He could not use his law abilities for at least a month.
During this advancement of the space, the spiritual plants grew wildly again, and the spiritual fruit trees inside were laden with fruit. He needed to find an opportunity to go in and deal with them.
After Qi Zhiheng came out, he thought of his disciples again. He had only been teaching them properly for a few days after taking them in, and they had disappeared again.
After Qi Zhiheng finished speaking to him, Zhang Ruosheng went to find Bai Yilian.
When Bai Yilian saw Zhang Ruosheng arrive, she immediately greeted him with a smile: "Ruosheng, you came to see me?"
Zhang Ruosheng was dazzled by his smile. Bai Yilian rarely showed him such a smile again. He replied, "Yilian, I came to see you this time because there are some things I want to ask you."
"Hmm? What is it?" Bai Yilian showed no interest in his question and, before Zhang Ruosheng could answer, changed the subject, saying, "By the way, did you ask Master Qi to accept me as his disciple?"
Zhang Ruosheng was about to speak when he was interrupted again. Hearing Bai Yilian's words, he replied, "I have mentioned you to my master."
Bai Yilian excitedly interjected, "So Master is going to accept me as his disciple? That's wonderful!"
Zhang Ruosheng interrupted her excited words: "Eleanor, Master has not yet agreed to accept you as a disciple! Please let me finish speaking first."
Bai Yilian's smile froze slightly, feeling that Zhang Ruosheng was utterly useless, unable to even handle such a small matter.
Zhang Ruosheng said, "After I mentioned you to my master, he asked about your progress in alchemy. I thought you had mentioned wanting to practice alchemy before, so you must have learned some basics in the past two weeks. But I don't know how much you've learned, so it's hard to answer. Also, was your soul power test at level three?"
Bai Yilian's smile vanished instantly: "Alchemy? I've never tried alchemy before. I've heard that without a master to guide you, it's easy to go astray. How could I dare to practice alchemy without a master? My soul power is indeed level three, but I was just a little short of taking the next step."
Since she was going to become Qi Zhiheng's disciple, she naturally had to present herself in a positive light, but in reality, her soul power was just one level away from dropping.
"Besides, didn't you say that Master directly led some disciples who knew nothing about alchemy into the sect back then? At my age now, starting over isn't out of the question, is it?"
Zhang Ruosheng thought about it and felt that Bai Yilian's words made sense. However, he was ordered by Qi Zhiheng to inquire about the situation, so he could only press on: "You should be fine since you haven't started refining medicine. Also, I wonder how much you know about spiritual herbs?"
Bai Yilian was a little angry at what he said, feeling that Qi Zhiheng was too demanding and Zhang Ruosheng was too foolish! When Qi Zhiheng asked about her, he could have just given a direct and positive answer! As long as Qi Zhiheng took her under his wing, everything would be settled. Even if it was discovered that her abilities were not as great as Zhang Ruosheng claimed, she could make an excuse that she didn't know Zhang Ruosheng thought that way, and that she had probably been idealized too much in Zhang Ruosheng's mind.
This way, she could clear herself of all blame! Zhang Ruosheng would take the fall! Given such a good opportunity, Zhang Ruosheng actually answered honestly!
Sure enough, she still didn't like Zhang Ruosheng, who was inflexible!
Zhang Ruosheng, unaware of Bai Yilian's inner thoughts, took out a thick book of first-level spiritual herbs and said, "This is the spiritual herb guide we learned when we first entered the sect. Our master even mentioned it. Do you remember all the spiritual herbs in here?" As he spoke, he stuffed the book into Bai Yilian's arms.
Bai Yilian: "..."
Bai Yilian had no interest in reading. If she couldn't become Qi Zhiheng's disciple, she definitely wouldn't bother learning alchemy. If it weren't for Zhang Ruosheng telling her that becoming Qi Zhiheng's disciple would allow her to learn the inherited methods for enhancing soul power, she wouldn't want to go looking for Qi Zhiheng again.
To maintain her public image, Bai Yilian smiled gently and said, "Thank you for bringing me the book. I'll take a look now." She directly avoided the question of whether she had read any books about spiritual herbs before.
Feeling grateful to his beloved, Zhang Ruosheng blushed slightly and said shyly, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do."
“However, this book is so thick, it would be difficult for me to finish learning it all at once. Why don’t you tell Master Qi when you go back that you have already finished learning the contents of this illustrated book?” Bai Yilian thought to herself, quite pleased with herself.
Zhang Ruosheng uttered a seemingly simple but infuriating statement: "Don't worry, I heard today that Master has suddenly gained some insight and gone into seclusion. He probably won't be able to come over for the next few days. You can use these few days to memorize the contents of this illustrated book."
Bai Yilian: "..."
Zhang Ruosheng hadn't yet noticed Bai Yilian's strange behavior. When Bai Yilian sent him away, he thought she was just concerned about his progress in alchemy.
Half a month later, Qi Zhiheng returned to the alchemy room. After assigning alchemy tasks to his disciples, he planned to wait in his alchemy room to check on their recent progress.
Upon seeing Qi Zhiheng arrive, Zhang Ruosheng immediately went up to him and explained the situation regarding Yilian. He had originally thought Qi Zhiheng would only have a few days of enlightenment, but unexpectedly, he had been gone for another half month. Bai Yilian was getting quite impatient waiting, but there was nothing he could do.
When Qi Zhiheng saw Zhang Ruosheng, he remembered the time when this disciple wanted to introduce him to a disciple. He said, "Is it about last time? Come with me."
Zhang Ruosheng followed Qi Zhiheng to the alchemy room that Qi Zhiheng usually liked to use.
After Zhang Ruosheng answered Qi Zhiheng's questions one by one according to the information Bai Yilian gave him, Qi Zhiheng sent someone to see him three days later and gave him a pass.
When Zhang Ruosheng learned that Qi Zhiheng wanted to see someone, he knew that Bai Yilian had a great chance of becoming Qi Zhiheng's disciple, so he happily withdrew.
After dealing with the matters in the alchemy room, Qi Zhiheng was summoned by the sect leader again.
Qi Zhiheng was truly helpless. Why did the sect leader have to consult with the other peak masters instead of Old He?
Although he was reluctant, he still had to go.
Que Hanhai mainly felt that since Qi Zhiheng was the one who discovered the matter, it was normal to report the progress of the matter to him.
Qi Zhiheng listened to Que Hanhai talk about the recent cleanup of the demonic mushrooms.
The cleanup of the Demon Mushrooms went surprisingly smoothly; the other side probably never expected that they would accidentally break the Demon Mushroom trap with a child's urine.
Que Hanhai has already begun researching methods other than using children's urine, and it has proven that without children's urine, the matter of the demonic mushroom would likely be much more difficult to handle.
He tried everything, but couldn't find a way to replace the boy's urine. Even the people who left the demonic mushrooms in their territory probably didn't realize that boy's urine was the natural enemy of the demonic mushrooms.
When Qi Zhiheng heard this news, he was actually quite surprised. He never expected that his son's pee would inadvertently solve a major problem for the Slaughtering God Sect!
Qi Zhiheng asked, "Are there any traces of Demonic Mushrooms in the territories of other sects?"
Que Hanhai shook his head and said, "No problems have been found in other areas so far."
Qi Zhiheng had some ideas in his mind.
