Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 271 The war is coming
The Dead Mountain is the headquarters of the White Bone Sect.

"You mean... they are growing spiritual plants in Tiger Town?"

"That's right. The people from the An Ning Society were just outside Tiger Town, cultivating fields and setting up formations. They didn't stop us from watching. I saw it all with my own eyes."

Chen Jing's actions in Tiger Town soon reached the ears of the surrounding White Bone Dao.

For a while.

All the practitioners of the White Bone Sect felt incredible.

In fact, only large sects can understand the true meaning of growing spiritual plants.

Because only large sects have cultivators of the Shenzang and Dongtian levels who can offset the influence of the evil land of the wasteland and plant spiritual plants in the Dongtian and domains.

The reason why the big sects can stand firm in this underworld environment is not because they are ruthless, but because they have a stable income that allows them to withstand storms time and time again.

and so.

Farming outside the Shenzang and Dongtian seems so unusual.

The major cultivators of the White Bone Sect immediately sent people to try to plant spiritual plants outside, but unfortunately, all of them were affected without exception.

“Why is An Ning okay?”

"Find out for me!"

"Send another envoy to see if we can exchange this method. Besides that... send some trustworthy people to find out the reason behind this at all costs."

The White Bone Sect acted quickly, reacting both overtly and covertly.

Gu Xingqiu, who had been staying at the side of the An Ning Society, took the opportunity to serve as the envoy of this mission.

Gu Xingqiu sold out all the White Bone Sect as soon as he came up.

"In the White Bone Sect, there has always been a dispute between the ancient and modern schools... The modern school is led by Elder Cao, while the ancient school is led by Elder Zhongbo and Wenzhong... Elder Cao's school has the upper hand."

Following Gu Xingqiu's explanation, Chen Jing gained a more detailed understanding of the White Bone Dao.

No one knows where the tradition of the White Bone Dao comes from, but it uses white bones as a way of practice. It looks like a necromancer, but there is nothing wrong with it essentially.

However, the fact that there is no problem with the inheritance of Taoism does not mean that there is no problem with the people who use it.

The best way to extract the spiritual power of bones is to carry the last wishes of the living, which is in a sense a form of salvation. The spiritual power of bones obtained afterwards is pure and powerful.

Later, the Jinfa School was born. If qualitative change was not possible, they would resort to quantitative change, causing a large number of deaths and accumulating huge amounts of bone spiritual power.

Although the quality is not good, the example of Chen Jing is enough to illustrate that sometimes quantitative change can defeat qualitative change.

The real rise of the Jin Fa faction was due to the deal they reached with the great monsters in the mountains.

It can be said that the current project of exchanging people is hosted by the Jinfa School of Baigudao, and it generates continuous income.

Under the suppression of the modern school, the ancient school could only barely protect itself. Perhaps it still had some things left, but it obviously could not change the situation.

Chen Jingze asked: "Which company do you represent?"

"Anywhere."

Oh, sell both.

very good.

"Elder Zhong and his faction are willing to make friends with you, but they may not be able to offer anything good. Elder Cao now holds the final say, but his attitude... is unfriendly."

“Why are you being unkind to me?”

"Master Chen may not be aware that the White Tiger Demon outside of Pingmo Mountain is putting pressure on Elder Cao..."

"I see."

Chen Jing suddenly realized.

It turns out that he must have offended a big client. No wonder he was so unfriendly without even talking to her.

Recently he has monitored quite a few White Bone Sect practitioners with ill intentions.

They started with kidnapping, interrogation, and soul-searching.

A serious demon cultivator's posture. Unfortunately, both the An Ning Society and Tiger Town are connected to the Internet, and there is a temple in every village that serves as his spiritual consciousness node.

Every cultivator practices his inherited method.

In other words, every An Ning Society monk is equivalent to his incarnation walking in the world, and the fate of those evil monks is naturally to retaliate, interrogate, and search their souls.

The information obtained from Gu Xingqiu now corresponds to the information obtained from soul searching.

"Elder Cao, I won't go into detail about the price that I can offer. One of the conditions is that Tiger Town must cease fire and stop fighting the monsters in the mountains."

After Gu Xingqiu finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.

It's ironic.

Chen Jing shook his head: "I guess he doesn't intend to pay anything, and he even proposed a lot of exorbitant conditions."

"As you expected, Elder Cao requires you to provide a method to plant spiritual plants outside, and then give compensation gifts, some to the demon clan, and some to the White Bone Sect... Hehe, I am not a person who would betray my own people. After all, the White Bone Sect also gave me a place to practice Taoism and settle down. But I am also disappointed to see them act this way."

"understand."

Chen Jing poured a pot of tea for the other party and nodded.

Which messenger would convey a statement that insults others as if they were idiots? He would be very disappointed.

If it were someone with a bad temper, he would chop off the messenger's head first and eat it with wine.

That’s why Gu Xingqiu sold the White Bone Sect as soon as he came here. It’s such a rubbish sect, why not sell it and keep it for the New Year?

Chen Jing could also understand why Elder Cao did this.

The only thing a person cannot betray is his own ass. Elder Cao’s personal thoughts are actually not important. What is important is that he is the representative of the Jinfa School.

Unless Chen Jing can come up with benefits that completely replace the current law, Elder Cao can't talk about anything.

The only thing Elder Cao can represent is to fight to the end for the interests of the current Dharma faction.

"What does the White Bone Sect leader mean?" Chen Jing asked.

"The sect master comes from the Jinfa School. On the surface, he supports Elder Cao's faction, but in reality, he suppresses them. This time, the boy under the sect master's seat and I 'randomly met' him, and he asked me to deliver a gift on his behalf."

As he spoke, Gu Xingqiu took out a piece of jade bone.

Chen Jing looked around for a moment.

The item is not a very good one, but it is exquisitely designed and the mana runes are cleverly constructed, making it a good gift.

When the divine consciousness probes into it, some hidden information can be seen, which seems to be about the large number of rune differences summarized by the White Bone Dao. It is actually quite useful.

He didn't look carefully, but he had already guessed the other person's psychology.

"Master Bai Gu Dao, I would like to have a good talk with me."

Chen Jing took the gift and put it aside.

Faction leaders need to maintain their factions mindlessly, there is no other way around it, but the position of the clan leader is different. Even if one comes from a certain faction, after taking office, it is more important to maintain the balance.

The suzerain needs the direct faction to work hard, so he will maintain his support, but he does not want to be coerced or even sidelined by them, so he has to suppress them appropriately to ensure that they have the advantage but not dominate alone.

Balancing looks simple, but it requires a lot of effort.

After all, resources are limited.

The so-called balance is nothing more than dividing the spoils.

Now that Chen Jing has demonstrated his ability to cultivate land in the wilderness, it represents additional resources, so the sect leader will definitely be inclined to cooperate with the An Ning Society.

The power of the suzerain comes from how much salary he can pay to his subordinates.

Chen Jing's words are now law and his prestige is great. Even if he just sits there, his cultivation level is improving rapidly. This is because he can pay his subordinates high salaries.

It’s not about how strong he is. Strength is the result, not the cause.

If the leader of the White Bone Sect wants to make progress and become stronger, he must obtain resources and have the ability to pay more wages, so he specially sent a gift to express his gratitude.

Then in Chen Jing's eyes, everything about the White Bone Road became clear.

An ancient school that you can be friends with.

The leader of the White Bone Sect who is willing to cooperate.

The modern legal school with irreconcilable contradictions.

So does Chen Jing want to cooperate?

Of course he did. The productivity of An Ning Society in the upper realm is very high. Because it has to export to two sects, its productivity is far beyond its own needs.

Now that it has come down, there is no rash reduction in production capacity.

After all, that would inevitably lead to a wave of layoffs, which would interrupt the current rapid development momentum.

Everyone is like this.

When the market is good, people are adventurous and enterprising.

Once frustrated, even if they recover, they will be hesitant to do things, looking ahead and behind, and it will be difficult to regain the momentum when they want to take off again. Chen Jing had no good solution, so he could only build many warehouses and buy the excess output with his own money to store it temporarily. He originally planned to expand here and use it when domestic demand increased.

But it is definitely not as good as dumping it directly.

"Cooperation is good, open doors, free trade."

Chen Jing couldn't help but smile.

He is looking forward to in-depth exchanges with the major forces in the Southern Wilderness.

Anyway, the other party doesn't have the ability to overturn the table, so it depends on who has better card playing skills.

Of course, it is still too early to kick open the door and achieve free trade. The first thing to do is to deal with the Jinfa faction of Elder Cao, who now holds the power in the White Bone Sect.

It's not that we should kill Elder Cao, that's useless. The representatives of interests cannot be killed. The interest groups of the Jinfa faction must be completely disintegrated.

The interests of that group of people are simple, it's just a deal with the demon clan.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, I came here in a hurry and didn’t bring any gifts, but it just so happens that I can provide whatever the Ancient Law School and your clan’s leader want, whether it’s planting spiritual plants in the evil land or other things. But before we discuss further, I have to do one thing first…”

Pavilions and towers in Taichung.

Chen Jing sat in front of the bamboo tea table and opened the teapot.

The mist rising from the pot and his peaceful voice came over him like the fragrant aroma of tea.

"This month, kill the White Tiger Demon."

……

Pingshan Guanfang Market.

An unprecedented atmosphere of solemnity and murder hung in the air.

Monks dressed in black Demon-Slaying Division uniforms lined up high in the sky, with dark clouds supporting their bodies. The sunlight shone on the magic weapons in their hands, reflecting dazzling light.

Looking around, the entire sky and layers of clouds were filled with monks from the Demon Slaying Division.

Under the market town.

The independent cultivators who came here and the cultivators who had newly joined the battle group looked at this scene and were confused as to its meaning.

"Such a big scene, what happened?"

"Phew, just looking at it almost makes me breathless."

"Is this the true strength of the An Ning Society? I thought those battle groups were the elite of the An Ning Society!"

"We must report this to Lord Cao... An Ning will make a big move, and it seems that he is going to attack Pingmo Mountain!"

The monks of the Jinfa School who came here to gather information were terrified when they saw this scene.

too frightening.

When there are tens of thousands of people, it becomes a sea of ​​darkness with no end in sight.

At this time, there were more than ten thousand monks lined up in the sky above the dark clouds.

below.

Even the first group of people who joined the battle felt dizzy.

Liu Sanlang's throat rolled, and he said, "Captain Ye, this... this is?"

Ye Fan folded his arms and looked up: "This time, they are a little more serious. Many of the 100,000 disciples of the Demon Slayer Division have come."

"A little?" Liu Sanlang widened his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, there are about a hundred battle groups and several thousand monks in Pingshan Pass.

That was enough to surprise him.

This is the "immortal" who had been searched for for years but could not be seen.

As a result, the scene before him completely destroyed his three views.

Fairy?

One hundred thousand of them, neatly lined up in front of you!

"Heavenly soldiers and generals, these are heavenly soldiers and generals!"

There were people in the market kneeling on the ground, shouting and losing their minds.

One person yelled, and immediately, more people whose hearts were shaken and unable to control themselves started shouting one after another, venting their uncontrollable emotions.

As for those people from the Southern Wilderness who had just joined, they were shocked, but also felt a genuine sense of relief, peace of mind, and belonging.

The treatment provided by the Hospice was indeed very good, so good that it was beyond their imagination.

But in fact, everyone has hidden worries in their heart that they don’t want to think about.

Worried that all this will suddenly shatter like a dream.

Worried that An Ning will be broken up due to an accident.

And at this time.

Seeing such a spectacular lineup in front of me, all the worries in my heart disappeared completely, and were replaced by extremely strong positive emotions.

"Must win!!"

"Kill all the monsters!"

They also couldn't wait to vent their emotions and were extremely excited.

At this moment, they were even more loyal than the real people of An Ning Prefecture. They wanted to let the whole world know what a powerful and beautiful place they had joined.

"What a pity! We should have been on top, but now we are out of the team."

Ling Zhi said regretfully.

They were originally part of the Demon Slayer Division, but after the launch of the battle group system, they became independent in this new system.

The Demon Slayer Division is a regular army and belongs to a different system from the battle group.

Besides.

There is also a mercenary system, but it is formed spontaneously by the people and does not enjoy the benefits of the Peace Society, so Chen Jing does not interfere much.

"We also have our tasks. Keep a portion of your consciousness on the battle network at all times and pay attention to the battle group's prompts."

Ye Fan gave an instruction.

The two of them used a wisp of their spiritual consciousness to check the battle network.

As expected, a large number of activity tasks were found above.

Now that the regular army has appeared on the scene, the frontal battle has naturally been handed over to the Demon Slayer Division. However, their regiment is still needed as tentacles to understand the situation on the battlefield.

After all, the Heavenly Dao is taking sides, and spells still fail from time to time. Only a third-level cultivator, who radiates the Xuanyin Dao foundation to his surroundings, can avoid the influence of the Heavenly Dao.

Although the regular army is large, most of them are at the second level and need to follow the team closely, so they are naturally not so free in fighting.

"Brother Ye, come on, let's compete to see who gets more points in this wave." Ling Zhi said with a smile.

"You're even better than me, alright."

Ye Fan crossed his arms.

At this time, another acquaintance came over.

"Yo yo yo, add me one, add me one."

"I say, is it necessary to make a special comparison? Isn't it enough that Lord Chen has made a ranking list?"

"...Fuck, forget about that."

The ones gathered at this time were the most elite group of warriors.

They are gearing up and looking forward to the final battle of Operation Tiger Hunt.

at last.

Thunder roared.

Senior Brother Wu stepped forward in full armor, spear in hand, and roared angrily.

"Follow me on the expedition!"

Thunderclouds rolled and the territory expanded.

With a strong aura of oppression, a hundred thousand members of the Demon Slaying Division marched into the depths of the Ping Mountains in a mighty force.

"We're on it too."

The leaders of the major regiments who received the mission also rushed to the designated location with their members.
