Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 369: My Years as the Evil God

Chen Jing was not busy. He waited for the eldest senior brother before he came, and completely gave up after the eldest senior brother came.

He doesn't need to worry about how to distribute benefits, how to formulate policies, how to manage the economy, how to manage people's livelihood, and how to conduct diplomacy, because he has the senior brother!

It is comfortable to have a master. Before I started my own business, I thought it was good to be a boss. After becoming a boss, I found that it was easier to work.

Now all of Chen Jing's industries are under trusteeship. He is not the first person in charge at the moment and has no work to do for the time being. He is very happy.

He continued to stay on his Happy Island, comprehending Taoism and studying the River Styx.

Studying the Styx was just a side job; the main thing was cultivation. Since the fifth realm, he had not practiced any spells related to the fifth realm.

For example, upgrading your own inheritance method.

All five realm spells have two modes.

Chen Jing called them simple mode and charging mode. The actual combat of spells must follow the basic rules. The longer the charging time, the greater the power.

Of course, spells are all-encompassing, and combat is only a small part.

Chen had never thought about fighting. There are many ways to win a battle, and it is not necessary to be able to fight.

Therefore, Chen Jing's focus of practice was placed on the 'charging mode' of non-combat spells, which was a large-scale spell model that required higher resource consumption and a longer preparation time.

Once this spell is cast, it has a very wide range and lasts very long.

"First, have a sip of wine."

Chen Jing took out the gourd.

This pot of wine is not simple. It is called Duansheng Wine and is related to Jiu Niang’s inheritance method.

When the flying boat was sailing, he specially went to learn it and was authorized to use it at will.

The wine of death-killing can give the drinker the power to realize his dreams, but the price is that his life span is greatly reduced and his soul will be tortured forever.

——Is it a mediocre life or a brilliant moment?
This is Jiu Niang's thoughts on the world and the questions she poses to many people.

However, Chen Jing did not have to face this problem when drinking at the moment. He was drinking the wine in developer mode, only taking some of the rules to perfect his own inheritance method.

"Jiu Niang's path can connect the suffering of the world... Apart from anything else, this connection ability is very strong, which is what I need."

Chen Jing drank the wine, and the murmurings of suffering of all beings in the world faintly emerged in his mind.

'Why can't I be with her...'

"If only Father could look at me more..."

'Damn God, why do you treat me like this!'

Chen Jing tried to block them out, but found that after blocking out these painful sounds, the connection with them would also fade away. He didn't notice this the last time he experienced it.

"Do I have to empathize with you first? Jiu Niang's path is really self-abuse."

Chen Jing's mood was also depressed by these voices.

but.

Since it is just one part of the Tao, there is nothing we can do about it.

"First, a little guinea pig, it's you!"

……

As a twenty-year-old outer disciple of the Qingmu Sect, Zhu Gu only felt that he was limitless.

Before he went up the mountain, the immortal master said that he had extraordinary physique and had the potential to become an immortal.

Under the earnest gaze of the immortal master, he reluctantly agreed to the immortal master's request to go up the mountain to practice. After all, the immortal master was already old, and it was not easy for him to beg him in such a humble manner.

But this alone is not enough.

The immortal master said that the cultivation world is now in decline, with demons and monsters everywhere, and chaos is about to occur, so a hero is necessary.

This completely moved Zhu Gu.

When all living beings are in danger, who else but me?
After going up the mountain, he found that there was no shortage of food and drink here, and his fellow sisters were all very beautiful, and he was secretly delighted.

Zhu Gu, who appeared calm on the surface, was already considering whether to continue eating beef.

soon.

Zhu Gu discovered something was wrong because his cultivation progress was too slow, although people around him were still full of admiration for him.

He felt a little pressure.

But the pressure is not great. Perhaps it is just a small setback before takeoff.

Then came the good news.

Senior sister Lu Xue, who made Zhu Gu fall in love at first sight, seemed to have that kind of intention towards him as well. Senior sister Lu Xue was extremely beautiful, with skin as white as cream and a face as beautiful as a fairy. She had a cold personality, but she always had some affection for him.

The sect is about to hold a grand competition in the near future.

Zhu Gu didn't care at first, but now it's different, because last night, he met Lu Xue in the bamboo forest by chance, and talked with her. He learned that she hoped to get some places in the competition.

But what made him uncomfortable was that his cultivation was still as slow as a snail. At this rate, let alone making a splash in the competition, it was even a question whether he could even enter.

Just at this time.

He accidentally came across a transaction. It turned out that some disciples in the sect were engaging in a shameful transaction.

"Foundation-building spiritual fluid is the pure essence of spiritual energy. If you mix it into water and drink it, it can greatly speed up the process of spiritual accumulation..."

"The Dragon Roar Stone contains the magic dragon roar, which can shake the mind, clear away distracting thoughts, and maintain extreme concentration..."

"Nine Apertures Body Refining Pill, a top-grade body refining pill. After taking it, the body will be automatically refined and strengthened..."

Zhu Gu began to practice with the help of elixirs and treasures, and his practice speed increased significantly.

This made him extremely happy.

"This is the speed at which I, Zhu, should practice!"

At the same time, his relationship with the beautiful senior sister was also gradually making progress. Although she only invited him to taste tea and appreciate flowers...but why did she invite Zhu instead of others?
It’s stable!

Finally, the big competition arrived. The ambitious Zhu Gu signed up to participate. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he gave his name.

At the same time the referee shouted "start".

Zhu Gu flew out.

The cultivator who was at the same level as him exuded an incredibly powerful aura and used extremely sophisticated spells, leaving him completely unable to react.

Zhu Gu was eliminated miserably, and at the same time, his beautiful senior sister, who had always been a good person, also distanced herself from him.

This made Zhu Gu feel even more desperate.

then.

He increased his efforts.

"Another loan of 200,000 spirit stones?"

"Correct."

Zhu Gu's eyes were full of determination.

He is a future immortal, and right now he has only temporarily recovered his due qualifications. As for the money he owes, he can pay it back after he becomes an immortal.

then.

Zhu Gu started taking off mode again.

His realm began to advance by leaps and bounds, and his various qualities improved rapidly.

Simultaneously.

The debts owed are also increasing.

until--

"What? Pay back the money, but I, I..."

"Junior Brother Zhu, you have 15 days to pay back the 200,000 spirit stones. Otherwise, your cultivation will be abolished and you will be expelled from the sect."

"No, no, I'll give it back!"

Zhu Gu is now afraid that he will not be able to practice anymore.

He began to work desperately to earn spirit stones, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not pay off his debts due to the compounding interest.

Zhu Gu still didn't give up, but when he accidentally met his senior sister and saw her treating a new junior brother with a similar attitude, he suddenly understood everything.

He felt cheated, and when there was no one around, he rushed forward angrily and questioned his senior sister, but the senior sister just smiled and asked him.

"Have you paid off the spiritual stones? If not, I have work to do, do it or not?"

Fuck your mother!

I was about to say this, but when I got to my lips it became -

"What, what kind of work?"

"Cooperate with me and get ten disciples to sign the Spirit Stone Loan, and you can get 50,000 dividends."

"Huh?! Impossible!" "Eighty thousand."

"..."

Zhu Gu was silent. He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end said nothing and followed silently behind his senior sister.

That night.

He signed a new agreement with his senior sister and got a new job.

During this period, he also understood a lot.

This gang is very large.

Some go to the secular world to find qualified seedlings to join, some, like me, go to act with others, and some are like senior sisters, hanging people...

After Zhu Gu returned, he locked himself inside the door.

"It turns out... I don't have the potential to become an immortal. I'm really just a piece of trash, a so-called 'genius' made up of spiritual medicines and treasures."

His dream of practicing Buddhism was shattered.

However, he couldn't escape it. Everything about him was deeply entangled with it, and it would be difficult to get rid of it unless he died.

Gululu.

Bitter wine enters throat.

Suddenly, a man appeared in the house.

"Qingmu Sect... Wow, isn't this one of the top ten sects in Shenzhou Central Plains?"

Chen Jing was extremely surprised when he learned about this sect.

Jiu Niang's Taoism is really amazing. She is in the underworld and is directly connected to Shenzhou.

He never expected that Chen would come to the heart of the Central Plains in this way.

The reason why he knew about this sect was because his master, Taoist Yun Ting, had once traveled to this sect and even studied abroad for a while.

Later, in the personal travel notes that the master showed Chen Jing, he mentioned some of the customs and practices of the Qingmu Sect.

"Some sects are centered around cultural identity, while others...are centered around debt."

This made Chen Jing sigh with emotion. This was because in the world of immortal cultivation, the military suppression of the top leaders was strong enough, otherwise this sect would have fallen apart long ago.

But it can’t be said to be useless.

The master only learned some of the essentials, which made the stupid senior sister owe a large sum of money at the beginning. The master is really a bad learner.

"Who are you?" The drunk Zhu He looked at Chen Jing.

"Kid." Chen Jing turned around with an evil smile on his face: "Haha, have you forgotten what you have done? Didn't you say that as long as I can give you freedom, you are willing to pay anything... I came here to fulfill your wish, and you still ask who I am?"

“Huh?!” Zhu He regained consciousness and asked in surprise, “You, you are the evil god from the lower world…”

"... a little eye contact."

Chen Jing originally wanted to refute, who is the evil god, you are the evil god and your whole family are evil gods.

But if you think about it carefully, the magic he used in the lower world was indeed Jiu Niang's evil magic. So it seems that he is really an evil god from the lower world.

Chen Jing did not give the boy a chance to continue speaking, and mocked him: "I can't believe that you can owe three million spirit stones at a mere second level. It was not easy to earn so much at my level. How did you get to this level with three million spirit stones?"

"Hahaha, my life is over, laugh if you want to." Zhu He leaned back, picked up the wine gourd and put it into his mouth.

Zhu He didn't drink originally, but due to too much pressure, he also developed the bad habit of drunkenness and alcoholism.

And this is exactly what makes it easier to be linked to Jiu Niang's Taoism.

Chen Jing walked over slowly and said condescendingly, "Are you giving up now? Didn't you say that you would pay anything to regain your freedom?"

"Of course." Zhu He sat up suddenly, his eyes full of hope: "You are the evil god, you must have a way to restore my freedom!"

Don't think too highly of the evil god.

If I, the evil god, really come over, I will be beaten into ashes by your sect in minutes.

Chen Jing was happy, but still nodded: "Of course there is a way, but what can you use as compensation?"

"It's all up to you!"

"Then I want your freedom."

"?"

Trading freedom for freedom?

Seeing his expression of "are you kidding me?" Chen Jing said leisurely, "I will give you the freedom of the rest of your life in exchange for your freedom of a hundred years now."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Jing said: "From today until a hundred years have passed, you will have the ultimate talent for cultivation, and you will also have the magical powers I have given you, and you will earn a lot of money. After a hundred years, I will take your soul."

This is not meant to scare the other party.

Since he is using Jiu Niang's Taoism, he must follow the principles of this Taoism.

After all, this is the road opened up by Jiu Niang, and she has the final say.

Zhu He showed a look of struggle, closed his eyes for a long time, took a deep breath, and said: "If I continue, I will still be in shackles all day long. I might as well take this opportunity to be a genius for once."

"I want to remind you." Chen Jing crossed his arms, "It's just three million spirit stones. It's not worth it for you to give up the rest of your life and sign a contract with me. It will be very painful... Practice diligently and don't touch things that are beyond your ability. With your current ability, you can still live a stable life after paying off your debts."

"You are an evil god, but you are advising me not to sign the contract?" Zhu He was amused.

"Because I am kind."

"Hahahahaha." Zhu He's drunkenness disappeared without a trace. He stood up and sat down, saying, "Since I entered the cultivation world, all the fellow practitioners I have seen are swindlers and fraudsters. They claim to be righteous, but in secret they are all prostitutes and thieves. On the contrary, you, the evil god, showed me your power and advised me to practice diligently."

"..."

So I am not actually an evil god.

Zhu He smiled and said, "If I want to be a down-to-earth person, why should I give up my mundane family business? Since I have the hope of seeing the scenery from a high place and experiencing the joy of being a genius, it is worth my journey to the immortal path...Sign the contract, I agree."

"really?"

"really."

Zhu He's eyes were filled with an unresolvable stubbornness.

Chen Jing sighed: "There are not many birds to see at high altitudes, and geniuses are not always happy... I will ask you one last time, do you want to sign?"

"Maybe there really isn't much good scenery, but I can't bear the thought of never being able to see one in my lifetime."

Zhu He lowered his head and clenched his fists.

"sign!"

"The contract is made."

……

Zhu He woke up suddenly and climbed up from the cold ground.

He looked around, raised his hand, looked at the empty wine jug, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Oh, it turns out it was just my drunken imagination."

There was deep regret and loss in his eyes, and he gradually felt despair.

It may be that the fairyland described to him by his master at the beginning was very wonderful, or it may be that after he entered the door, the actors around him were too amazing.

The reason for Zhu He's despair was not that he could not repay the spiritual stone loan, but that his spiritual world was shattered.

Like a zombie, he follows the instructions of his senior sister and begins to deceive new disciples, becoming one of the countless extras.

Since he still had a knot in his heart, he didn't participate much in the performance, and there were almost no new disciples who came to interact with him.

Until one of the new sisters who had just joined the group walked towards him timidly.

"Brother Zhu, I, I just can't learn the Cloud Walking Technique. Please give me some advice."

Oh, now is the time to show some friendliness and let her temporarily stop doubting her "superb talent".

Zhu He barely managed to get himself together, but at this moment.

A mysterious spell suddenly emerged in his consciousness.

【Vientiane Dharma】

【The art of asking questions】【The art of preaching】

He looked shocked.

"It's actually true..."

"Senior Brother Zhu?"

"what."

Zhu He came back to his senses, and then smiled and said, "Junior sister, try the Cloud Walking Technique again now."
