Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 218 What if I say no?
Wanjiang Mansion.

Practitioners climbed on the clouds and flew swords, and people came and went like flying shuttles.

suddenly.

The white clouds parted, and a ferocious black dragon emerged from the clouds, taking in all the cultivators.

Many monks were flying slowly. When they suddenly saw the black dragon poking its head out from beside them, they were so shocked that they almost fell from the sky.

But soon, a strong magical power intertwined into vines and supported it.

Chen Jing put the person on the ground and asked in surprise, "Is there anything special happening today? Why are there so many people?"

Beside her, a phoenix chirped, and then turned into a white hairpin and fell into Ying Huiyin's black hair.

"Only the Imperial Academy Examination... well, Feixian Pavilion is also included in it."

"Feixian Pavilion? Why are they coming to the academy to join in the fun?"

Chen Jing immediately became interested.

Feixian Pavilion is an organization similar to the Daoda Academy, but the Daoda Academy is solely owned by the Qingnang Sect, while Feixian Pavilion was built with support from monks from other sects.

Although the two have the same functions, there is some competition between them.

Compared to the Taoist Academy's approach of teaching almost everyone, Feixian Pavilion is a pure elite aristocratic academy, and everyone in it is either rich or noble.

"Feixian Pavilion also has a big exam, um, every four years, and it is open to the public just like the big exam of the Upper School Palace."

"Huh?"

Chen Jing laughed: "Let's go and watch the fun."

but.

Not long after he flew away, a cultivator came over on a sword, braked and stopped in front of the black dragon, made a hand seal, and expanded it into a huge diamond wall.

"Stop!"

The sword-controlling monk stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

Boom~~
The black dragon smashed the diamond wall into pieces without even stopping.

The remaining force did not diminish, and under the astonished eyes of the sword-controlling monk, the ferocious dragon head came into close contact with him.

"what!"

The sword-wielding monk was shocked, his magic power emerged, and strange phenomena unfolded.

But it was as if something was shattered and completely dissipated.

not good!

This was his last thought as his vision went dark...

far away.

A group of monks were chatting and laughing among the clouds.

"Brother Wang, your method of weaving clouds is truly mysterious. Weaving clouds like a mat, looking up to the sky and asking for the breeze, how wonderful it is!"

"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning. What's more, Brother Li is here. The name of the two "Li"s has spread throughout the three states. This is the role model for our generation!"

The man surnamed Wang waved his hands repeatedly.

On the side, Li Yuhai, who was lying in the clouds drinking, burped: "How dare I compare with Li Wendao? Li Wendao improved the Wantong Room and replaced the teleportation array, while I just made a few spiritual plants."

"It's not just a few spiritual plants. Thirty-seven kinds of third-grade and twelve kinds of fourth-grade spiritual plants have been improved. His ranking in learning points is on par with that of Li Wendao. Such strength is well deserved!

"Okay, okay, eat and drink. Eat enough to finish the big test."

Li Yuhai had a satisfied smile.

The other monks understood what was going on, and not only did they not stop, they also flattered him in different ways.

At this moment.

The clouds rolled over and rolled, causing several people to sway left and right, and they almost fell down.

Look back.

It turned out to be a black dragon passing by.

"Who is so rude!" someone immediately shouted angrily.

"The black dragon mount should be the true disciple Chen Jing."

"What about the true teaching? I'll go meet him."

Immediately.

A cultivator flew on a sword and headed straight for the black dragon's path.

Others said: "This... Fang Xing will be okay, right? This true disciple seems to have some reputation."

"As for the Assisting in Battle Method and the Heaven and Earth Borrowing Method, I have heard of them. As for cultivating these external forces, Senior Brother Fang Xing has been immersed in the Mysterious Seal for two decades, and is half a step away from the Divine Treasure. His swordsmanship and Vajra Technique are superb, and he can teach Chen Jing a lesson."

The other person said indifferently.

immediately.

There was a bang.

That Fang Xing fell from the sky like a rag.

On the cloud carpet, everyone was dumbfounded.

The one who reacted the fastest was Chen Jing.

He grabbed the guy.

"No buddy, the flesh body stops the dragon car?!"

Then I saw everyone.

"You saw it, he took the initiative to block in front of me. My mount was so fast, he was heading straight at me, how could I possibly stop!"

"Senior Brother Fang Xing!"

"Quick, save people!"

Everyone rushed to rescue.

Fortunately, the monk had amazing vitality, and with the help of various elixirs, the old man was barely pulled back from the brink of death.

Seeing that the person was alive, Chen Jing asked, "Do you know each other? Why did you stop me just now?"

"We were enjoying the scenery among the clouds, and you rode your dragon and overturned the cloud carpet, spilling the wine. Senior Brother Fang Xing wanted to ask you for an explanation, but you hit him and seriously injured him!" said a female monk angrily.

"?"

No, who taught you to drink like this?

Chen Jing felt that these people were probably sick, and he did not want to get involved: "I was wrong in this matter, Chen. I will make amends with wine in the future."

Everyone looked at Li Yuhai.

Li Yuhai bowed and was about to speak when suddenly a voice interrupted him.

"Leave this matter to me."

"Master Liang!"

Everyone looked over and saw that Li Yuhai didn't say anything. He just carried Fang Xing and left. Everyone else also left with him, leaving behind the man called Liang Huizhu.

Mr. Liang was of average build, with a small mustache, shrewd eyes and a slight smile on his face.

"Chen Zhenchuan, I have long heard of your great name."

"who are you?"

"I am Liang Zuodao, the leader of the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce in Wanjiang Prefecture."

Liang Zuodao bowed and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being the number one person in this Taoist Academy. It is better to meet in person than to hear about your reputation. Would you be so kind as to go with me?"

"Sorry, I'm busy. Let's deal with what happened first."

"What happened just now was actually a request from Liang, which was somewhat unreasonable." Liang Zuodao pointed in the direction where Li Yuhai and others left and said, "Does the True Transmission know the name of the person just now?"

"……who?"

he does not know.

"He is also a young talent. In just a few years, he has become known as the Double Li..." Liang Zuodao listed the achievements of this Li Yuhai and then shook his head: "But it's a pity that if it weren't for Chen Zhen's teaching, he might have been the first in this Taoist Palace exam."

"Oh?"

Chen Jing crossed his arms and said, "Why do you seem to know very well that I am number one?"

"The Immortality Bean, the Queen of Peiyuan Rice, and the Snow Soul Mulberry alone are far from enough. Even Li Yuhai may not be able to beat them. However, the academy's test does not only look at the innovation of Taoism, but also at mana and consciousness. Lord Chen may not know that Liang has also received a mana tree. He has signed in for 31 days since receiving it, without a break."

"I see. Mr. Liang is still my client."

"client?"

The term "client" mainly refers to people who have fled to other places or make a living by renting land.

Chen Jing said "customer" again, and Liang Zuodao finally understood.

"That's right. That's why I know that with the true transmission of magic power, it is already the best in the entire Suizhou. I dare not say that there is no one before, but for thousands of years, the true transmission is also worthy of being the most powerful person in thousands of years."

"..."

Am I so strong?

Chen Jing was surprised.

In just five years, his magical powers and spiritual awareness have reached the top in a thousand years. That's not bad.

"Master Liang, what's the matter? Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me directly."

"Hahaha, the true disciple is quick to speak. To be honest, Liang wants the true disciple not to participate in this exam. If you come, there will be no suspense in this exam." "Go on, I'm listening."

"If you give up the true teachings, I, Liang, will compensate you."

"for example?"

"The reward for the first place in this academy is learning points, and the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce will give you the true teachings of the same amount, unconditionally. Even if it is something that is not allowed to circulate in the three holy places, it can be handed over to you legally and reasonably!"

As soon as Liang Zuodao opened his mouth, Chen Jing was deeply moved.

Rich people!

But he shook his head.

"Master, if you have asked about me, Chen, you should know that I, Chen, am financially independent."

"..."

Liang Zuodao's smile could hardly be suppressed.

You are just a small local rich man, how can you be considered rich? Have you ever seen what real wealth looks like?
But he was also very angry.

Because he had investigated and calculated, he knew very well that Chen Jing had been developing in a low-key manner in the past four years and had a lot of spare money on hand. It was not wrong to say that he was financially free.

"Formation, fifth level." Liang Zuodao said in a low voice.

"Ouch."

Chen Jing was slightly shocked by this move.

So far, the most advanced formation in the entire Qingnang Sect is the sixth level, and it was all set up by external sects at a huge cost.

The progress of the local formations is very impressive, the highest is only level four, and some are level five.

It can be said that among the cultivation skills, the most important are formations and refining, followed by talismans and weaving. These four determine the hardware ceiling of a sect.

However, alchemy and spiritual plants determine the lower limit of a sect.

Among them, the formation is the most important.

If the formation doesn’t work, it means nothing will work.

For example, in alchemy, the refining of the sixth-grade elixir requires the assistance of a sixth-grade formation, because the sixth-grade elixir no longer involves the combination of medicinal materials, but also involves the fusion of the laws of heaven and earth.

There is a sixth-grade elixir called "Holy Star" that requires the power of thousands of stars. How to obtain it?

The formation is taken.

Without a formation, the main materials cannot be removed.

Of course, you can also go in and out of various dangerous places like in the ancient immortal era, collect natural treasures that contain relevant powers, and spend a hundred or eighty years to gather the main materials for a furnace.

But times have changed.

Even if all the sects from the ancient times were combined, they would not be enough to defeat a single holy place in the Central Plains today.

You spent a hundred years gathering the ingredients for a furnace of sixth-grade pills, swallowed the finished pills, and became a powerful person.

Once their formation is activated, the world will be changed. Whatever is lacking will be replenished. Every year, one furnace of sixth-grade pills can be produced in batches, and strong people can be mass-produced.

Cultivating immortals also requires productivity.

Nowadays, formations are universal converters that replace all rigid conditions.

It's not just about alchemy, there's also refining tools, weaving, and hundreds of other arts. Having corresponding formations and not having corresponding formations is the difference between primitive people and immortals.

In the Central Plains where the way of immortality is most developed, elixirs and magical instruments made from original ecological materials have become luxury goods. When promoting their products, people would just say, "These are made by a master and do not contain any array additives. They are pure and natural and exquisite."

The reason why the Qingnang Sect is so good at alchemy is because it has the supreme treasure, the Shennong Ding, which allows it to bypass many rigid indicators related to alchemy and ensure that it exports high-level elixirs to earn foreign exchange every year. Otherwise, it would not be worthy of being taken seriously by other sects.

Understand the influence of formations in today's era.

You can understand Chen Jing's inner surprise at this moment.

A fifth-grade formation, what’s being sold is not just a formation, but fifth-level productivity!
Chen Jing became even more curious: "Fifth-level formation, can I choose any one?"

The type of formation is also very important.

The comprehensive category is the worst.

The formations he currently has on hand are all comprehensive types. They seem to be able to do everything, but in fact none of them stands out.

"You can choose any of the true teachings."

"Is it okay if I want a large formation for refining equipment?"

"Row!"

The other party agreed immediately.

Chen Jing remained silent and looked at Ying Huiyin.

what the hell.

This matter is not simple.

"You might as well tell the True Transmission that Li Yuhai is a member of the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce in Wanjiang Prefecture. We have already reached an agreement that when Li Yuhai gets first place, he will join the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce, become the vice president and lead the spiritual plant affairs. His first place is of great significance."

"Oh~"

understood.

Good guy.

I was wondering why you didn't want the ancestral methods anymore and even dared to sell the formation.

It turns out that we also have to change the laws of our ancestors.

Chen Jing knew how powerful the celebrity effect was.

This is the first major exam of the Dao Palace, and also the first first place in the history of the Dao Palace!
With a little publicity and selection, Li Yuhai will be known as the best of all time.

For most people, their cultivation level may not improve but their thinking ability may not improve, so the routines that are useful to ordinary people are also useful to cultivators.

With such a reputation and celebrities taking the lead, Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly usher in a wave of rapid development.

Chen Jing's thoughts turned, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the place where Fang Xing was knocked away.

Thoughtful.

"The true teachings are really good, and the thinking is quick." Liang Zuodao suddenly laughed.

"I was wondering where this idiot came from. He hit my dragon car with his body. It must be you... Let me guess, if I don't agree now, Fang Xing will not survive today."

Chen Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Liang Zuodao.

"Ugh."

Liang Zuodao looked far away and sighed faintly: "The true teaching is that people are all stupid, you should understand."

This sentence just skipped a lot.

But Chen Jing knew what it meant.

If the news of Fang Xing being killed today were to be made public, his reputation would be ruined, and the sect's investigation would surely reveal that someone had tampered with Fang Xing and affected his mental state or something like that.

but.

As the other party said: people are stupid.

Even if evidence is presented, there are still some people who only see one thing.

——Chen Dazhen’s biography, killed an ordinary cultivator.

Because the world has always been like this.

Landlords beat servants to death, noblemen rode their horses to kill commoners, monks killed ordinary people, and true disciples bullied ordinary disciples...

There has long been no justice in this world, or rather, justice has never been formally achieved.

Justice is merely a tacit understanding between people of equal power. It is not a capital for the weak to shout at the strong.

In this environment, many people will only look at the truth from their standpoint and seek justice within the scope of their fists.

As for the evidence?

Even if Liang Zuodao shouted loudly that he did it, people would think he was forced to do it.

"Master Liang is determined to get the first place..."

Chen Jing exclaimed.

The soft one has a fifth-order formation.

The hard ones will be ruined.

Carrot in the left hand, stick in the right hand.

Moreover, Fang Xing's death will definitely not just ruin his reputation, it will definitely make his achievements invalid.

There is probably a traitor in the elders' meeting...

"I dodged the old man's zero-frame attack, but I didn't expect that he could chase me here."

He couldn't help but laugh.

Oh shit.

Damn it.

Take a deep breath.

Chen Jing restrained his expression.

"What if I say no?"
