Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 260: Leeks are not cut this way

Gu Xingqiu returned to the sect and went straight to the cave of his good friend Li Wancheng.

In life, there are always one or two people who can be called good friends. His good friend in the sect is Li Wancheng, a friendship that is worth life.

Moreover, the other party has good qualifications. Although they are both in the Shenzang realm, he is much better than himself in terms of prospects and connections.

Arrived at Li Wancheng’s cave.

He had no time to express his admiration for the many servants and maids in his good friend's cave. He just raised his doubts straight away.

"Tiger Town has more than 10,000 people, and it's a big town. Since there's a beast tide coming, we should do our best to protect it. Why did the sect order me to evacuate and ignore it?"

"Old Gu...if it weren't for me this time, whether you could come back or not would be a different matter."

Li Wancheng leaned back in the soft chair, speaking slowly and in a way that was puzzling.

"Can't come back? What do you mean?"

"Recently, the sect has also had a monster hunting activity, and all the manpower has been transferred there. Tiger Town really can't spare any manpower. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Wancheng slowly stood up, paced for a while, carefully considered his words, and said these words.

He looked at Gu Xingqiu's face, which first showed confusion, then his pupils changed, and then he showed shock and anger, and finally he slapped the table with his palm.

"really?"

Amidst Gu Xingqiu's uncontrollable anger, there was still a last glimmer of hope.

"...Old Gu, it has been like this since ancient times. All six sects are like this."

His friend's words shattered his fantasy.

Gu Xingqiu's body shook.

"Since you're back to the sect, take a break. Call back your disciples as soon as possible, not to mention too many. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect too many people. This matter is not something I can decide." Li Wancheng patted Gu Xingqiu on the shoulder and left him alone to calm down.

after all.

It is indeed difficult to accept the fact that the demons exchanged the killing of civilians with them at first.

People like Gu Xingqiu, who came from an ordinary background, had limited qualifications, and had no strong backing, would not be able to access such information even if they had cultivated to the Shenzang stage.

However, he could not let go of his friendship with Gu Xingqiu and could not bear to see him die in Tiger Town, so he used his connections to get him back.

“Ridiculous, ridiculous…”

Gu Xingqiu was originally going to report on the affairs of the An Ning Society, but now he has completely lost the mood to do so.

His entire family was eaten by monsters. After he embarked on the path of cultivation, he became a monster hunter. He relied on hunting monsters to accumulate contributions to the sect and spirit stones in exchange for food.

After achieving enlightenment, he received a mission from the sect to garrison Heisha Mansion.

Others took advantage of their sect status to extort money...but he was the only one who worked diligently to kill monsters.

Now it's all a joke.

Suddenly, his eyes froze.

Peace Club, Peace Club!
Yes.

Now, there is a sudden appearance of the Peace Society on the edge of Tiger Town, as well as an unknown Shenzhou man named Chen Jing...

Thinking of this, Gu Xingqiu no longer cared about anything else. Without even saying goodbye, he flew away on his sword.

He did not rush to find Chen Jing, but went to Pingmo Mountain outside Hu Town.

"The evil spirit in the mountain is indeed unusual."

Gu Xingqiu used the Qi technique of looking ahead and sensed a clue.

Pingmo Mountain is the first line of defense to stop the monsters. The practicing families in the surrounding counties and towns all provide manpower and material resources to build a defense line.

With the defense line as a support, Pingmo Mountain also developed into the front line for monks to hunt monsters, which in turn attracted many mortals who served the practitioners to settle here.

Today, there are also hundreds of families living here.

Once the beast's nest breaks out, they will die here first.

Since Gu Xingqiu started practicing, he has seen many corpses and bones. People hunting monsters and monsters eating people have been the norm for the past hundred years and can no longer stir up any waves in his heart.

However, when he realized that the sect and the demon race were consciously exchanging killings, he still felt instinctively shocked and terrified.

Perhaps it was because of my background and childhood experiences...

"No wonder in the eyes of the upper world cultivators, the people of the lower world are all evil demons. I originally thought that such remarks were nothing more than prejudices of different realms. The distinction between good and evil is nothing more than the other being strong and us being weak. These are slanderous words from those hypocritical people. Now it seems that I am the ridiculous one..."

The cold wind blew up Gu Xingqiu's clothes, making him feel bone-chilled.

After several more days of exploration, he finally returned from Pingmo Mountain.

After confirming the general situation of the beast's nest in Pingmo Mountain, Gu Xingqiu fell into a new dilemma. When he came here, he just thought that he could introduce the variable of An Ning Society.

But I have never figured out how to lead it and what to achieve.

"Are you trying to save the people of this town, or...are you unwilling to accept the fate of the sect? If you save the people of this town and incur the wrath of the sect or even the demon race, is it worth it?"

After calming down.

Gu Xingqiu sadly discovered that he didn't seem to want to protect the people that much.

He was obviously very angry, but he didn't dare to resist. He was obviously very sad inside, but he didn't dare to do anything.

Arrived at the edge of Anning Mansion.

Hesitating and not making up his mind to move forward.

For a moment, the inner demon took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, causing him to lose his breath and become confused.

Gu Xingqiu barely suppressed his inner demons and recalled Tian Kang to find out the news from Anning Mansion.

"Master?"

Tian Kang, who had returned happily, lost all his joy when he saw his master's gloomy look, and he saluted cautiously.

"Kang'er, tell me what you saw and heard during this trip."

"Yes……"

Tian Kang carefully glanced at his master's face again.

“This time, my disciple practiced the three great magic formulas recorded on the jade cylinder. It is indeed mysterious and wonderful, a holy method that has never been heard of in ancient and modern times. The magic forest can allow my disciple to borrow magic power for hundreds of years. As long as I practice diligently and improve my reputation, it will be just around the corner for me to borrow magic power for a thousand years…”

"Oh? What are the restrictions?"

"There has never been a limit. I have observed that everyone here practices this method. On weekdays, they use their excess mana to water the mana trees in the mana forest with magic... Everyone's power is combined to water the mana trees, and they grow day by day. However, the number of people who learn from the method is far less than the number of people who keep the method. Therefore, the mana pool only increases and never decreases. It is very reliable..."

Gu Xingqiu nodded, stroking his chin as he commented.

"After explaining it, this method is not difficult to understand, but the wonderful thing about it is that it is hard to imagine. We only know that money can be deposited in a bank, but we don't know that magic power can also act in this way. The method of the upper world is indeed powerful."

"In addition, there is another method that is even more amazing. It is called the Wanxiang Method. There are tens of thousands of methods hidden in it. There are no restrictions on learning. I, the disciple, dared to learn the methods of alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and array formation..."

When Tian Kang saw that his master's complexion had improved, he immediately sped up his speech.

"What?! I learned all this for nothing?!"

Gu Xingqiu's eyes widened.

"That's true, but because I am a tourist, I don't have any formal authorization, so I can only learn the first-grade introductory techniques for nothing. Even so, these basic knowledge are profound, far-reaching, and have a solid foundation, far better than the inheritance of the sect..."

"hiss."

Gu Xingqiu took a deep breath and almost pulled out his beard.

"In the upper realm, there are so many spells that anyone can learn them at will..."

"Master, in fact, the magic formula of the upper realm is also very precious. It is true that the An Ning Society is different. It is said that the An Ning Society is not tolerated by the upper realm because it teaches everyone and preaches to the poor. That is why they have to come down to avoid disaster."

"There are people who do good deeds for free? Do you want to sign a contract or any restrictions?"

Gu Xingqiu couldn't help but ask back, intuitively feeling that there was something wrong with it.

"Disciple has not found any restrictions. Many poor monks here can freely enter the Yunxue Palace and practice any magic at will."

Speaking of this, Tian Kang's face showed a little resentment.

"But many cultivators, despite having such good conditions, are still picky and unwilling to practice. They rely on borrowing magic from heaven and earth to improve their magic power, and rely on auxiliary magic to use spells... If it were me, I would not rest for a day and would have to learn it all!"

This can be said to be the most infuriating thing he has ever encountered. Do you know how much suffering we have endured in order to practice? !

The suffering of practicing magic itself is the most insignificant part of it, but here, it has become the greatest suffering!
You don't want to suffer this, so I have to suffer it, damn!

Gu Xingqiu couldn't help but reveal a leisurely and fascinated look.

For these monks who have climbed up on their own, everything about the Peace Society is simply a dream paradise.

"Master, regarding the beast's nest..." Tian Kang asked.

"This matter..."

He could only remain silent, not knowing how to tell his disciples.

but.

During the conversation just now, the point that had been bothering me in my heart was suddenly resolved.

After Gu Xingqiu thought about these spells for a while, he understood the style of Chen Jing and the An Ning Society.

They are obviously very similar to those bald monks in Buddhism and Taoism, all of them follow the Shinto civilian route.

That being the case.

You don't have to worry about anything. Just tell the other party about the beast's nest, and they will most likely take the opportunity to take action.

……

With Tian Kang's return.

Chen Jing also learned from him the information that Gu Xingqiu wanted to reveal.

"Exchange the people? I've heard that the people in the lower world are leeks, which is not an adjective! The demon race doesn't care about the demon beasts, because the demon beasts and the demon race are not the same race in essence, just like people grow vegetables, it's natural for people to eat vegetables and sell vegetables, but cultivators and ordinary people are still in the same category and species."

He felt that this thing was too devilish.

Everyone is cutting the people, and Chen Jing is also cutting leeks.

But such a rough cut is hard to look at.

"Are you going to take action?"

Ying Huiyin tilted her head and looked at him.

"This move is equivalent to offending the local sect and the nearby big monster..."

Chen Jing leaned back slightly.

"But I'm not here to do business. Just do it. Call everyone here. Let's have a meeting tonight to discuss how to take over Tiger Town. From now on, Tiger Town will have a new boss."

This is also part of spiritual practice.

He had previously captured an original avenue in the Qingnang Cave and filled his own avenue into it, so his own avenue also accumulated and grew.

The same principle applies to spiritual practice today. What should we do if the domain only covers Anning Prefecture? It’s simple, just go out.

Shenzang practice: entering the Tao, the three talents, and the Dharma.

Among them, the three talents are the three major systems of heaven, earth and man, and the best one to start with is 'man'.

There are three paths to humanity.

First: Kill enough people.

Anyone who does not follow my path will be killed!

This is the most primitive and bloody humanitarian path, using force to suppress all disobedience.

The second way: conquest.

Just manage a certain number of people.

This requires a certain status. For example, Chen Jing was previously a "true disciple". Having the identity of a true disciple is equivalent to having access to the human system. Many people in the Qingnang Sect are nominally under his jurisdiction.

The third path: influence.

There are tens of thousands of people who admire my teachings.

In other words, there are a certain number of people who practice my Tao.

Then the system of "people" will be connected.

As an adult, Chen Jing naturally wanted all of these three options.

Bloody suppression of demons and monsters, conquest and management of local indigenous peoples, and finally, influence of people outside the scope of management with the Way of Thick Earth.

Therefore, Chen Jing chose to take action without hesitation.

Rather than letting the White Bone Sect feed this wave of people in Tiger Town to the demon clan as blood food, it would be better to snatch them back home and raise them ourselves.

Since we are already in the underworld, we should act a little roughly.

What's wrong with robbing you?
……

At this time, Tian Kang was still in Anning Prefecture.

Look up.

I saw a large number of monks flying in the air, and from time to time three or five people would soar into the sky.

"Friend Tian? Do you still remember me?"

suddenly.

One of them fell.

It was the priest who first received him in the village.

"Remember, remember, you are..."

"I can't remember it at first glance. My name is Ning Hui." Priest Ning Hui said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me...Fellow Daoist Ning, and all the other fellow Daoists, where are you going?"

Tian Kang hurried to inquire.

"It was Fellow Daoist Tian who brought the news. I never expected that the lower realm sect would act like this, treating ordinary people like grass. Lord Chen was extremely surprised. No matter what, the people are innocent, so he ordered us to go to support Tiger Town."

"Tian is extremely ashamed..."

"What's there to be ashamed of? Sir Chen gave us quite a lot of rewards this time, and we are all very happy. If you really want to thank someone, go thank Sir Chen. I'm in a hurry to sign up."

Ning Hui talked for a few words, then took out a musical instrument and handed it over: "We, An Ning, specially made a musical instrument. You often go to Tiger Town, so I'm sure you have some pointers. I'll come back to you, don't refuse!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Tian Kang continued to stare at the sky.

Looking at the group of An Ning Society monks who rushed to rescue Hu Town, all kinds of emotions surged up in his mind at once. Even though he knew that the other party must have their own interests in mind when taking action.

But isn’t it a consideration of benefit to feed the people of a town to animals?
One kills, the other saves, the difference is obvious!
Tian Kang immediately took out the sound transmission talisman and reported back what he saw and heard.

Gu Xingqiu, who received the message, said, "Master has seen it."

at this time.

A total of three auras from the Divine Hidden Realm descended upon Pingmo Mountain, apparently observing the environment in advance.

The team leader was Shen Ningxiang, who was in the Dharmakāya stage.

She still covered her eyes with a ribbon, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

In addition, there is a monk who looks not serious, and Brother Wu who looks very serious.

There are four sacred treasures in the house, and only a dragon girl is left to guard the house.

Shen Ningxiang said: "I am devoted to cultivation and am not very familiar with the outside world. I will listen to your advice on everything."

"I am more familiar with the behaviors and methods of practitioners from outside the region. I need to investigate the situation of the practitioners here before making a decision." Master Yu said.

"Then I will investigate the monster tribe here. I have been guarding outside the area before, and fought against many monster tribes together with Senior Brother. I am quite familiar with the area." Senior Brother Wu also said.

"Thank you both for your help. I will be there to assist you if anything happens."

Shen Ningxiang nodded.
