Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 221: Freedom is precious, but the price is too high

There was silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Jing, watching his reaction and waiting for his answer.

Chen Jing stood up slowly.

He walked over to the two of them and helped Li Yuhai, who was bowing and lowering his head.

"How could I, Chen, deserve such great admiration from such a talented person? I feel so unworthy, so unworthy!"

"Master Chen!"

"Brother Yu Hai, get up quickly!"

"Master Chen, I won't get up unless you agree!"

"Brother Yu Hai, hey, hurry up and get up. Okay, isn't it enough that I promise?"

"Master Chen!"

Chen Jing held Li Yuhai's hand tightly. Li Yuhai was obviously very moved and could not get up no matter how hard he tried.

The two men had anxious looks in their eyes, as if they were on Liangshan Mountain in the Northern Song Dynasty or in the Utopia of the Three Kingdoms.

It's so exciting.

Liang Zuodao, standing between the two men and watching this scene, felt his heart almost torn apart.

"Yu Hai, you, you."

The fists clenched tightly in Liang Zuodao's sleeves were shaking.

How he wanted to explode right then and there and beat the bastards to death.

Why is this happening!

It was obviously me first!
"Master Liang? Are you happy for me too?"

Li Yuhai turned around, grabbed Liang Zuodao's arm and held it tightly.

"Hahahaha, Liang is overjoyed to hear such a wonderful story!"

When he said the last few words, the hatred between his teeth could hardly be suppressed.

He tried hard to pull his hand out, but failed.

But on his red face, he managed to force a smile of joy and emotion.

'Li Yuhai, you dare to betray me!'

Liang Zuodao questioned through voice transmission, his eyes fixed on Li Yuhai.

"I'm sorry, a bird that chooses a tree will find a good tree to live in, a minister that chooses a master will find a wise master. Today, I, Li Yuhai, have found a wise master, which is enough for my life! Liang Huizhu, please don't come to see me, I'm afraid that Lord Chen will misunderstand me."

What kind of words are these!
Li Yuhai's eyes were filled with tears and his heart was broken. Not a single punctuation mark in every sentence he had said so far was created by him.

At this moment, he felt that Chen Jing was simply a devil. He, the person who said this, felt that his soul was about to break apart. He couldn't even imagine how furious Liang Zuodao was when he heard this.

really.

Liang Zuodao's body shook after receiving the message, and the magical power he emitted became chaotic.

Chen Jing couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

What level is that? He is worthy of using the same employees as me, Chen.

"Okay, okay, I really didn't expect that Chen Zhenchuan actually had this trick. I hope that when you pay the price, you won't regret what you did today!"

"Please feel free to join me, Master. I'm happy to accompany you."

Chen Jing just responded gently.

He is still the same young man, without any change. During the battle, he would use illusions and hide behind others, waiting for his chance to strike. Although the battlefield has changed, his style remains the same.

I try my best not to argue with my opponents.

But the mouth will be sent out to output crazily.

At this time, on the surface, the three of us hold each other's hands, forming a stable triangle relationship, and everything is peaceful.

Behind the scenes, Chen Jing and Liang Zuodao were on the verge of a fight, as if they were about to start a fight at any time. Li Yuhai, who was caught in the middle, dared not move.

"Let's talk about this in private so as not to waste everyone's time."

Chen Jing took the initiative to let go, turned around and left, and Li Yuhai followed behind him in small steps and left together.

Liang Zuodao stayed there alone, waiting for the two men to pass by him. He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then turned around.

Wave goodbye.

Even though he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, Liang Zuodao had to follow the way Chen Jing gave him in front of so many people.

……

"Master Chen."

Following Chen Jing, he arrived at an empty side hall that he had rented.

Li Yuhai no longer concealed his expression and became cautious.

He is tall, with a broad frame, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

In the eyes of others, Li Yuhai is an absolute gifted child and a role model.

He was born in an ordinary peasant family and his status was lowly.

When he was young, he accidentally swallowed a magical fruit from the mountains and entered the threshold of spiritual practice. He realized that the fruit was extraordinary, so he secretly planted the seeds. The magical fruit grew very fast, blooming and bearing fruits every year. He also had an endless supply of magical fruits to eat, which supported his practice.

In this way, when his compatriots and fellow tribesmen were still skinny, Li Yuhai was a head taller than others.

Li Yuhai's abnormal behavior attracted attention, and the spiritual fruit was also exposed and had to be shared.

Who would have thought that the spiritual fruit was actually a poisonous fruit. He was fine after eating it because of his special physique, but many of his fellow tribesmen died after eating it.

As a result, Li Yuhai was executed by his clan according to clan rules. Before his death, he was rescued by a monk from the Qingnang Sect, who fed him elixirs and treated him very well.

Things turned unexpected at this point. The Qingnang Sect cultivator who saved him turned out to be an evil cultivator who used his physique to practice evil techniques.

When the sect's law enforcement officers killed the evil cultivator in front of him, Li Yuhai still didn't understand what was going on.

But no matter what, Li Yuhai survived, officially joined the Qingnang Sect, became an ordinary disciple, and lived a stable life.

Until he became a student at the academy and was noticed by Liang Zuodao.

"Most people in the Qing Nang Sect cannot understand your physique, but it is not uncommon in my Yunzhou. This is a natural evil body. Whoever you follow will be unlucky, and you will also suffer. But as long as you can get through it, you will be able to make progress."

"What nonsense!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, your physical constitution and destiny are not uncontrollable. Follow me, you don't want the disaster you bring to befall the academy, do you?"

Thereafter.

Li Yuhai has experimented with this himself and found it to be true. People who are close to him always have various ominous signs.

This made him discouraged and at the same time very urgent, so he immediately agreed to Liang Zuodao. Liang Zuodao provided him with methods to change his physique and resources to improve his realm, and Liang Zuodao would do things for him.

but.

Everything was going well until Chen Jing came to the door.

In front of him, a series of seeds were produced.

"I've seen your results, they are really good. You have improved many spiritual plants such as Xunxian Grass, Tuxing Flower, Mengdao Fruit, etc."

"What is this, the true teaching?"

"Look at this batch of seeds. Your birth-inducing spell should be fast enough to go through them all. Take a look."

Li Yuhai didn't understand what was going on, so he took the seeds to induce labor.

After the birth, the sky fell.

They are all his improved varieties!

No, it should be said that they are all improved varieties that are better than the spiritual plants he improved!

Not more, not less, just enough to include all my achievements, with better quality and higher productivity...

His brain was reeling and he couldn't believe it.

All my achievements and hard work over the past five years have gone to...

My breathing became more rapid.

"This is impossible." Li Yuhai almost cried.

"I heard that you have a deal with Liang Huizhu. I'm very interested. I'll follow you from now on."

Chen Jing's recruitment was simple and crude.

If you dare not follow me, you will forget about your future.

After all, Li Yuhai was also involved in the process of Liang Huizhu throwing dirty water on him, although his extent of involvement was unknown and the dirty water was not thrown out in the end.

But participation is participation, and he is not interested in knowing too many details.

Since you are going to be a knife, you must be prepared to be a knife.

Does Li Yuhai have a choice?
He did not.

All my values ​​are like bubbles that will burst at the slightest blow in front of this person. What else can I do?
It's not on the same level at all.

It took Li Yuhai less than half a minute to choose to surrender.

Subsequently.

Chen Jing said, "I'm suddenly curious about what price Liang Huizhu offered you. You should know how many people in the sect you will offend by joining the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce in public today."

"To be honest, I... have a serious illness."

He told the truth.

Chen Jing suddenly realized: "The star of destiny? This is indeed a problem. You joined the Dao Palace, and the first big exam of the Dao Palace almost went wrong. You worked hard for Liang Huizhu, and Liang Zuodao lost his wife and his army."

"Master Chen, I, I, I didn't mean it."

Li Yuhai suddenly felt ashamed.

"Don't worry, my master has calculated for me long ago that I am doomed. It's just right that you're here. One more person is not too much, and one less person is not too little."

"what?"

Looking at Chen Jing who was nonchalant and smiling faintly, he was stunned.

Surprisingly, it was accepted from this perspective?

"Li Yuhai, since you are a lonely star, there are some things I can ask you to do. When you join the Agricultural Promotion Institute, I will make the seeds public in your name. If there are any new spiritual plants in the future, I will give them to you."

Chen Jing said.

Although he had forgotten his master's instruction not to crossbreed more powerful spirit species by modifying his memory through Forgetting the Hometown, he instinctively knew not to draw too much attention.

There is a "professional" who is "certified as the best in the academy". Put the blame on this guy, put on a vest, and feel safe.

"After you join the Agricultural Promotion Institute, you can work with peace of mind. I will not harm your due interests because of the slight grudge between you and me. I have always advocated that hard work pays off. The achievements during your time at the Agricultural Promotion Institute are no less than yours."

He continued.

"I will never let Master Chen down!"

Li Yuhai bowed his head without any psychological burden.

He had a poor background and encountered setbacks time and again on his way to success. He did not have the so-called arrogance of a genius at all.

He had almost gotten used to the fact that the road to success would inevitably lead to the next disaster.

"Okay, get ready and go to An Ning Mansion and wait. I will be back soon."

"Yes."

Chen Jing waved his hand and let him leave.

"It's not easy..."

He remembered Li Wendao's evaluation of Li Yuhai, and he felt the same way.

The best in the academy.

In the eyes of the world, he is a future star with a bright future.

I don’t know how many people try their best to reach this height.

But it looks like this.

Although he appears to be in a glorious position on the outside, he is actually being manipulated.

This has been true since ancient times.

Those who are capable are only fit to be tools, those who have resources are the fathers.

The reason why Chen Jing could easily jump out of the pit and bury Liang Zuodao in it was because he had more than just ability.

The reward for Li Yuhai to create a fifth-level formation is a sky-high price, and when it is given to Chen Jing, Chen Jing straightens his back and says, who can't stand this kind of test?

The constraints of resources on Chen Jing are far less than those on Li Yuhai. The independent cultivators and poor monks, who are busy collecting resources, have never had real freedom.

Continue to wait for a moment.

A woman in white clothes and long hair came over.

It is exactly the response.

"Just as you guessed, in addition to Li Yuhai, there are many other students who have joined the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce or various organizations under the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce."

"What's the sect's reaction?"

“I haven’t seen any reaction yet.”

Ying Huiyin continued, "Feixian Pavilion also encountered the same situation as the academy, but the disciples of Feixian Pavilion openly accepted funding from the Chamber of Commerce."

"This kind of thing has both advantages and disadvantages. If the extraterritorial battlefield and the bloody battle cannot be effectively resolved, then the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages. Sacrificing long-term interests is certainly not good, but if there is no present, there will be no long-term. The sect's acquiescence makes sense."

Chen Jing suddenly felt powerless.

I was making money and cultivating immortality in my base camp, and then, it seemed like the boat was about to sink...

Today, he is still a distinguished father with resources.

Once the ship sinks, Li Yuhai's today will be Chen's tomorrow.

Chen Jing thought for a moment.

"Let's go. We have finished this year's imperial examination. It's not bad to take first place in the imperial examination."

It's kind of funny to talk about this.

He had thought about getting the first place before coming here, but he didn't expect to get it this way.

The two left.

Coincidentally, they all arrived at the nearest long-distance Wantong room.

Normally, both of them would drive back and forth by themselves, one riding a dragon and the other riding a phoenix. But now, after a "car accident", they have both become quiet.

……

Anning Mansion.

Qu County.

"Master Grand Minister of Agriculture, how is your medicine going? If you don't make it right, my son will become a dead dragon!"

A muscular man as big as an iron tower squatted in a small courtyard and uttered a sad plea.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, be patient."

The Minister of Agriculture took a palm-leaf fan and fanned the alchemy furnace from time to time.

If Chen Jing saw this burly man, he would definitely recognize him.

This person is the 'remnant of the Fengtian Sect' who snatched the "Heaven-Repairing Medicine" from a number of noble families at the Earth-level auction on the Yunkun flying boat.

This fellow, whose appearance made the whole place tense, was currently staying at the Qu County Agricultural Promotion Office, in the courtyard of the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Fengtian Sect, who went by the alias "Lin Ping".

The Grand Minister of Agriculture had a sleepy old face and kept shaking his head.

"Even though half of my body is in the coffin, I am still not as anxious as you young people. The time is not right, why should I be so anxious?"

"But the king is pushing me too hard. The prince's injury must have worsened." The burly man cried, "Although I don't like the prince, if he dies, I will definitely suffer the consequences."

"Should."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture snorted, "You dare to activate the bloodline of the Great Ancestor without any luck. If the power of the true dragon is so easy to use, can your master still be the Ninth Prince in peace? He would have become a skinned loach long ago."

"Master Sinong, you are right, but aren't all of us Dragonborn like this? When we have good luck eating, everything is fine. But when we don't have good luck eating, we become very irritable."

"..."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture was speechless when he thought of a certain princess whom he had raised as his daughter.

Ever since he brought her here to get some good luck, her temper has indeed gotten better and better, and she even has time to learn about spiritual plants from him.

In the past, he would either be sarcastic or lose his temper.

"Luck, luck... humph."

What a bad guy... he murmured in his heart.

The Grand Minister of Agriculture's eyes changed, and he fanned the furnace fiercely, causing the fire in the furnace to grow even stronger.

bang~
The essence and energy took shape, resembling a giant python.

The giant python turns into a dragon, and the big dragon turns into a dragon.

The shadow of a dragon flickered from the furnace.

Finally, the brilliance was completely condensed and transformed into a golden elixir.

"Okay, this section of Yundan is ready."

"It's done?!"

"I spent four years refining the elixir, overdrawing Chen Jing's luck for a hundred years, to finally create this elixir of fortune. With this elixir, your son can be saved, but your son must pay for the karma of this hundred years of luck."

"Return it, return it, I must return it, it's not me who is paying anyway."

The burly man said happily.

"Bring it here."

"Ah? Oh, yes, the Heaven-Replenishing Medicine!"

The burly man took the Heaven-Replenishing Medicine and exchanged it with the Minister of Agriculture for the Yun-Intercepting Pill.

"I will take a hundred years of your luck and return you the foundation for enlightenment. Chen Jing, let me see if you can break through your own limits."

The Minister of Agriculture took the Heaven-Repairing Medicine into his arms.
