Chapter 319: Fruition, Straight to the Point
Prefectural-level region.
"There is a spiritual field that produces two shi and three dou? Are you sure you read that right?!"
The head of Lingzhen Hall, who was at the foundation-building stage, had high eyebrows and his gray hair was shaking constantly, and asked with an incredible look on his face.
"I personally checked and weighed it, and there is absolutely no mistake or omission!"
Qian Qiancheng, the elder of Lingzhen Hall, looked very confident and said sincerely, "I am willing to guarantee it with my life!"
"It's quite interesting. Even in the Earth-level region, a spiritual field can only produce more than two stones of spiritual rice at most, and that's when all methods are used. How can a mere mortal-level region be better than an Earth-level region?"
There was a gleam in Wan Zhiqi's eyes. Anyone who had some knowledge of spiritual rice would be able to see that there was something seriously wrong with this harvest.
"Do you know the monk who planted the spiritual rice?"
Wan Zhiqi asked again.
"I know him. He is just an immortal seedling who came here nine years ago. He has just been promoted to the second level of Qi training. He is ordinary and there is nothing special about him before."
Qian Qiancheng replied.
"Call him over and ask him what's going on! How can a mere cultivator at the second level of Qi training be able to do something that none of us can do, and in the mortal realm at that!"
Wan Zhiqi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a meaningful look.
It is said that there are many opportunities on the path to immortality, but the prerequisite is that you have to have opportunities outside!
Currently, only six immortal pavilions have been discovered in the Buzhou Mountains, and only these six places have spiritual energy.
Even if there is any chance, it must appear in the Immortal Square. How can there be natural treasures in a place without spiritual energy? There is no place to counterattack!
This is the real reason why the Immortal House is fearless most of the time.
As long as one can monopolize most of the spiritual energy, enjoy the highest level of treatment, and continuously improve his strength, that is the key to ensuring his own rule.
Occasionally, a few gifted geniuses would be recruited by the Immortal House and become part of its top leadership.
It is extremely difficult to find any variables inside the Immortal House.
Soon, Ning Yuan was brought to the prefecture-level area.
Even though he was not forced deliberately, the aura that was inadvertently revealed by a great foundation-building cultivator still made him tremble with fear, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
"Are you Ning Yuan?"
There was a gleam in Wan Zhiqi's eyes. As a great foundation-building cultivator, he used his magic to spy on Ning Yuan. In his eyes, Ning Yuan's strength was clear as day. He was only at the second level of Qi training and was quite weak. There was nothing surprising about him.
"yes."
Ning Yuan buried his head deeply.
"How did you grow spiritual rice with a yield of two stone and three dou? Don't be nervous. I don't want to punish you. Instead, I want to reward you greatly! You have done something that countless cultivators cannot do. If you can promote it, you will have made a great contribution to the Immortal Square. It is possible that you will be rewarded with another earth-level cave!"
Wan Zhiqi said temptingly.
"It's just an ordinary species."
Ning Yuan lowered his head and spoke cautiously.
"Bullpen!!"
Before he could finish his words, Qian Qiancheng's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "The Immortal House gave you a chance to cultivate immortality and train you to become a cultivator. Now the head of Lingzhen Hall even condescended to meet you, which is enough to show that the Immortal House has its own love for talent!
If you have the ability to double the output of spiritual rice or even other spiritual plants, will you be treated unfairly? If you are so secretive, you may not get the original reward, and you may be considered a spy sent by other spiritual workshops!
Young people, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Just say what you have to say.
The Immortal House has never been stingy in treating talented people! The person who presented the spiritual rice is still living and practicing in the prefecture-level area. This is something that everyone can see. What do you have to worry about?
Could it be possible that a great master of foundation building would deceive a young man like you?
Tell the truth, and you will get the full reward. If you speak nonsense and dare to lie, you will be punished like a traitor. Do you know the price? ! "
Ning Yuan's face turned green and red, and he said cautiously: "I really just planted it the same way as before."
"you"
Qian Qiancheng was about to get angry, but Wan Zhiqi waved his hand.
Then he asked, "So, what's different from before?"
Ning Yuan stopped talking for a moment.
Seeing his reaction, it was easy for the two shrewd people to not see it.
"Just be honest, don't worry. No matter whether the person behind this is good or bad, kind or evil, they will definitely not punish you. We are only doing this for the development of Ningfang."
Wan Zhiqi said patiently.
One of them plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy.
He was just a young cultivator at the second level of Qi training, how could he withstand this combination of punches? Or rather, he had no choice at all.
"real?"
Ning Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course! I am the head of Lingzhen Hall, and I cannot go back on my words!"
Wan Zhiqi said with a smile.
"Yes, it's Senior Kong. Senior Kong felt sorry for me, so he gave me an opportunity without asking for anything."
Ning Yuan said.
"Senior Kong?"
Wan Zhiqi muttered the name, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Is there a powerful cultivator named Kong in Ningfang? How come he doesn't know? Wan Zhiqi turned his gaze to Qian Qiancheng with a hint of inquiry.
"The Senior Kong you are talking about is not called Kong Zhai, right?"
Even Qian Qiancheng thought for a moment before asking uncertainly.
The only cultivator with the surname Kong that he could remember from the mortal area was probably this one.
"It's him."
Ning Yuan nodded and said, "Senior Kong is a very good person. He gave it to me because he saw that my harvest from farming was not good."
"You go back first."
Wan Zhiqi waved his hand. Since he had found his true master, he didn't want to listen to him anymore. He said indifferently, "Go back and practice well. There is a promising future ahead."
"Kong Zhai. This name seems familiar to you?"
After Ning Yuan was sent away, Wan Zhiqi frowned. He had a vague impression of this name, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
It's really a bit strange.
"Kong Zhai is a cultivator from the Law Enforcement Hall."
Qian Qiancheng's mouth twitched as he explained, "I joined Ningfang as a Grandmaster eight years ago, and distinguished myself in my sparring with the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Huang Chao. I was recruited by Huang Chao to join the Law Enforcement Hall, and it has been eight years now.
It seems that he was experimenting with some magic some time ago. Not only did he blow up his own cave, but he was also seriously injured. He is still recuperating in our Lingzhen Hall. His strength has just reached the fourth level of Qi training."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember it. The Huang Dynasty's reputation changed because of that speech, and he has always been regarded as a foil to the lucky master."
Wan Zhiqi stroked his chin and asked, "Have any stories about Kong Zhai been passed down in the past eight years?"
"No."
Qian Qiancheng immediately shook his head.
"That's interesting. Come with me to meet him. How can such a talent stay in the Law Enforcement Hall, a place that only knows how to kill?"
Wan Zhiqi laughed, "I can give him whatever the Law Enforcement Hall can give him."
The mortal level area, Lingzhen Hall.
Gu Dan was lazily basking in the sun on a recliner, his face covered with a borrowed book on Taoism.
There is probably no one else in the entire Ningfang who can be so leisurely.
In this increasingly depressing atmosphere, he lived a fulfilling life and did not feel that there was anything wrong.
"Friend Kong!"
Two footsteps came from afar and Qian Qiancheng quickly came to Gu Dan.
"Um?"
Taking off the immortal book on his face, Gu Dan stretched and asked, "Elder Qian? What can I do for you?"
"Happy event, great happy event! The head of Lingzhen Hall is here to visit you!"
Qian Qiancheng said with a smile on his face.
"oh?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, "My injuries are almost healed, why do I need the Lingzhen Hall Master to visit me?"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the side and saw Wan Zhiqi at a glance.
"Kong Zhai from the Law Enforcement Hall is here to pay a visit to the head of the Lingzhen Hall."
He clasped his hands together as a gesture of greeting.
But the person did not stand up and was still lying on the recliner.
Qian Qiancheng couldn't help but frowning when he saw this. This person might be difficult to deal with!
"No need to be polite. I came here to discuss something with you. I hope you can give me some advice, Brother Kong."
Wan Zhiqi also reacted very quickly. He did not get angry because of Gu Dan's rudeness. On the contrary, a harmless smile appeared on his face, and he said, "May I ask if Brother Kong Daoist has given an opportunity to the cultivator named Ning Yuan?"
"Chance?"
Gu Dan tilted his head and thought for a while, "I did give things as gifts, but I don't even have the opportunity myself, so how can I give it as a gift?"
"That's wrong!"
Wan Zhiqi said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Kong may not know that the spiritual rice harvested in Ningyuan not long ago weighed two stone and three dou, and even grew better than the spiritual rice cultivated in the prefecture-level areas! Such a bumper harvest is unprecedented. If it is not from Ningyuan, it must be the work of fellow Daoist Kong.
This matter is of great importance to Lingzhen Hall, so please speak frankly, Fellow Daoist Kong!"
Lingzhen Hall, just by listening to the name you should know that it is related to Lingzhen.
In addition to the spiritual rice, spiritual bamboo and other things that the lower-level cultivators come into contact with the most, the Immortal House has actually been researching how to cultivate various spiritual plants. This is the biggest mission of Lingzhen Hall.
But the problem is that not only does the spiritual plant grow extremely slowly, but its yield is also simply not high enough. The lower-level cultivators can't even hear it, and even the needs of a few people cannot be met.
Even the better spiritual rice has to be harvested once every five years, and its efficacy is only twice as good as that of ordinary spiritual rice. The time cost is more than doubled, and the yield has not increased. It can be said that it is a loss! But if there is a way to double the yield of five-year-old spiritual rice, wouldn’t it be less of a loss? Exchange time for quality!
If this method can be mastered, it will be enough to replace the spiritual rice in the spiritual workshop, which is equivalent to artificially easing the current situation! Not only is it beneficial to the lower class, it is also a good thing for the upper class!
Even those monks whose practice is restricted by the annual rice can find some time to practice properly, and this is just the superficial use.
Lingzhen Hall naturally also has more precious spiritual plants that are not open to the public. If their output can be doubled, wouldn’t it be equivalent to getting double the harvest in the same amount of time!
This is not only a matter of great importance, it has a direct impact on the development and even planning of Ningfang! Ningfang was originally inferior to the other five immortal houses, and if it wants to catch up, it must make more efforts. Now, isn't this opportunity here?
"Oh, so that's why you came here."
Gu Dan laughed.
He was naturally the one who understood the effects of Qingmu Liquid best.
The Qingmu Liquid in his body, even in its imperfect state, is enough to rival the Heavenly Spiritual Root.
When used outside, it is a "holy medicine for healing wounds". If used on plants, it can even force them to ripen.
Of course, due to the characteristic of Qingmu Liquid that it neither increases nor decreases, when the Qingmu Liquid is used up, his cultivation speed will inevitably decrease slightly during the period of shortage, and the more he uses it, the greater the decrease.
Until all the used Qingmu liquid is consumed, you will slowly recover.
As for other people, there is no way for them to use the Green Wood Liquid to practice - because he has absolute control over the Green Wood Liquid, which can be created in a thought or destroyed in a thought.
Therefore, unless necessary, Gu Dan would not use Aoki Liquid on a large scale.
But he also has his own plans.
Qingmu Liquid should be used when necessary.
Now is a time of trouble, and his 'injury' is almost healed.
The Law Enforcement Hall is afraid that it will not be able to escape from this muddy water.
But Gu Dan didn't want to get involved in the battlefield, so he had to find a convincing enough method to stay out of it.
Instead of finding the way yourself, it is better to let others find you.
After all, waiting for a good price and recommending oneself are two completely different approaches.
Moreover, Gu Dan was also very interested in the Lingzhen hidden in Lingzhen Hall. The effect of Qingmu Liquid was extraordinary, but the real Lingzhen had been monopolized by Xianfang, and even a hair could not be found outside, let alone seeds! If you want to get Lingzhen, you have to go to Lingzhen Hall.
When Gu Dan gave Ning Yuan a small drop of Qingmu Liquid, he was waiting for this day.
Although his cultivation speed was extremely fast, it was with the help of Qingmu Liquid.
When you break through, you still have to rely on yourself! In other words, when he broke through, he still had the qualifications of a low-grade spiritual root.
Qingmu Liquid can help him increase his cultivation speed, but it is not himself after all.
Judging from the current speed of cultivation, he will face the challenge of breaking through the foundation in about twenty years, so Gu Dan will have to find a way out for himself.
The best thing to do would be to go to Lingzhen Hall to beg for the seeds and secretly cultivate the elixir for breaking through the realm.
"It's actually nothing mysterious. It's just an internal breathing technique that I've been practicing since I was young, combined with the immortal technique 'Rongsheng Fa'."
Gu Dan said it very straightforwardly.
"Internal Breathing Technique?"
Wan Zhiqi was stunned.
Even Qian Qiancheng was stunned.
They never expected that Gu Dan would tell them the method so straightforwardly, without even waiting for them to use threats or inducements.
"Yes, inner breathing technique."
Gu Dan glanced at the faces of the two.
There was always a doubt in his mind.
That was the place that made him most curious, besides the innate realm.
Internal Breathing Technique! As a special method that is not difficult to find in the mortal world, Qingmu Huasheng Jue brought too many surprises to Gu Dan, but he could not find any origins in the classics.
There were other people who had tried to reach the innate realm, but as for the internal breathing technique, Gu Dan had never seen anyone other than him who had achieved any results in practice.
Where did the Inner Breath Technique come from? Who did it inherit from? What would be the effect of practicing it to the extreme? I don't know, absolutely nothing.
The origins of the immortal ways can be found, but Gu Dan has never seen in the classics that anyone has developed the art of internal breathing.
Even though he is now a grandmaster, unrivaled in martial arts and knowledge far beyond the ordinary, he cannot compile a book on inner breathing techniques, because that thing is not a normal method of practice at all, but a technique that comes from nothing!
If possible, he naturally wanted to find out what the internal breathing technique, which had become increasingly prominent without him noticing, was.
And he doesn't even need to work hard for this. As long as he shows a little bit of extraordinaryness, someone will naturally do the work for him.
This kills two birds with one stone!
