From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 219: True Peach Kernel
Jing Chuwei had made a scene and lost face. Logically, he should have left in disgrace, but he was thick-skinned and insisted on staying.

He begged Yu Shuyang to sign a long-term labor contract, so that he could obtain nutrients from cultivating spiritual plants, just like he could obtain financial resources from trading goods.

After signing the long-term labor contract, Jing Chuwei occasionally went to the Ganoderma lucidum field to water it and help with the harvest. He could obtain the agricultural resources. Although he could not learn how to grow Ganoderma lucidum, he still had a harvest after all.

In order to stay in exchange for farming supplies, Jing Chuwei promised to open up 5,000 acres of spiritual fields on the island, help plant snake grass and snake vines, and leave this craft to teach the monsters designated by Yu Shuyang.

After much deliberation, Yu Shuyang decided to keep Jing Chuwei and asked him to plant snake grass and snake vines on the west coast of Hushan Island to physically isolate him from Zhitian.

Afterwards, he called the bee demon Jin Hu and kept Jing Chuwei on the island. He wanted to teach her how to grow elixirs and asked her to select five bee demons with wood or water as her destiny and send them over to learn from her.

These days, Yu Shuyang only treated the Golden Bee Clan as hired servants, ordering them to work and sharing the profits with them, such as a 30-70 split of the profits from sand mining and gold panning.

However, after hearing about the chaotic battle among the bee, ant and butterfly tribes, some people had different ideas. Even if the bee queen Jin Hu broke through to the fifth level and became a demon fairy, it would be difficult for her to leave Hushan Island and establish her own tribe.

After all, there are still many enemies from the past, such as the butterfly fairies from Kuhai Cliff Island. Now they control the nectar share and cooperate with Dragon Palace and the Five Islands and Eight Cities to do business.

As the idea changed, the style of doing things also changed. The Golden Bee Clan was no longer suppressed, but taught and used instead.

Jinhu was unaware of the mountain master's mental journey. Her clan had come here following the birth of the Iron Mother at Tiger Mountain, feeling the golden energy emitted from it.

At that time, she was the only bee demon who had just begun to gain wisdom. She relied on the tiger woman to teach her how to behave, including practicing the method of swallowing gold and honey. This was half self-realization by the golden tiger and half guidance from the tiger woman.

To be honest, Jin Hu was like a demon servant born in the house, his heart and eyes full of flattery and service. However, when they first met, Yu Shuyang misunderstood him because of the honey production, and thought that Jin Hu was a sweet-mouthed but treacherous person.

Looking back now, the reason Tigress didn't sell her honey was probably because she didn't want to get involved in the old disputes of the bee tribe.

After Yu Shuyang arranged his matters, he went to review his studies with his junior brother Li Taiping. They both had to take the Taoist examination in a few days.

On the other hand, Jingchu Wei earned the opportunity to stay and absorb the food from the Zhitian by teaching the skills of growing spiritual medicine.

After thinking about it, he did not object to opening up a snake medicine field on the west coast. Snake medicine is not an ordinary spiritual herb or medicine. It needs snakes to help gather energy.

Jin Hu brought five bee monsters over. She chose the little bee monsters that were just sensing Qi and had not yet entered the Dao and broken through to the ninth level.

Originally, Yu Shuyang wanted to build a magic platform here, but because the bee monsters didn't know how, he leveled the land first. Now it is easier to use it to cultivate spiritual fields.

Led by Jin Hu, the five bee monsters learned to use their bee tail stingers to break the soil and plow the land. It's really effective. The soil and rocks were shattered by the stingers.

After turning the land left and right, front and back, Jingchu Wei first planted a circle of white snake grass in it. This is a magical herb that can repel snakes and has an effect similar to realgar.

The remaining land was sown with snake grass, which is a magical herb that can attract snakes. The fruits on it are like rice. When eaten by snakes, they can remove the coldness in their bodies. It is a warm and tonic snake medicine.

The Jing family was descended from the wood snake family and was best at growing snake medicines. Most of the Qi they practiced was snake Qi and snake evil. Jing Chuwei took this as the foundation and learned to grow spiritual plants and precious medicines.

Both types of snake medicine are herbal medicines and are not good at gathering snake energy. It is also necessary to plant snake ginseng and snake vines, which are perennial medicinal herbs.

Jing Chuwei imparted his experience to the five bee monsters, telling them what snake medicine is, what spiritual medicine is, and what herbal medicine is.

The so-called snake medicine is a magical medicine that accompanies snakes. It has been infected by snake energy over a long period of time and can be used to refine the secret medicine, the Spirit Snake Pill.

Therefore, to grow snake medicine, you must first attract snakes, and then a field of snake nests will grow. Like snake rice, snake ginseng, and snake vines, the snake itself is a great medicine.

The longer a snake medicine field is managed, the more snakes will make nests in the field. Eventually, the field and the snake nests will become a den of thousands of snakes, and even snake slaves will be bred in the field.

Jingchu Wei exchanged the cultivation of snake medicine for food for the Zhitian, and the student naturally had no objection, but he also kept some secrets and did not mention a word about the snake cave and snake slaves.

The snake medicine field is next to the coast, and there are no land snake species on Hushan Island. When the snake rice is ripe, it will inevitably attract sea snakes.

It's okay for this sea snake to come ashore for a short time, but it will have to go back to the sea after a long time. In this case, the snake medicine field can only plant snake grass to slowly gather some snake energy.

In Jingchu Wei's opinion, this was fair. He taught the method of growing snake medicine. Gathering snake energy, cultivating snake caves, and even snake slaves were another matter and were not within the scope of the transaction.

Here, the golden tiger and the five bee monsters each used their bee stingers to plow and turn the land back and forth. I don't know where they were, but they heard a "bang" sound.

Jin Hu guessed from the sound that a hard rock was broken, and he used his bee tail stinger to flush left and right, and heard two more tinkling sounds.

So she followed the sound and saw a peach pit as big as a cherry in the soil. She picked it up and looked around. Seeing that Jing Chuwei didn't notice, she continued to turn the soil as if nothing had happened.

After the five thousand acres of spiritual fields were cultivated, Jin Hu said politely to Jing Chuwei, "Mr. Jing, these little guys are in your hands.

I can beat them, I can scold them, and if anyone displeases you or makes you angry, just give me a word and I will kill him with my own hands."

Jin Hu is the queen bee spirit of the golden bee clan. According to her status and position, the bee monsters are all her descendants, and no one dares to disobey her discipline.

Jingchu Wei was quite amiable and didn't act pretentiously towards Jin Hu. He said, "Madam Jin, you're joking. I think the children are all fine."

Jin Hu exchanged a few more polite words before leaving the west bank. She did not hesitate to head straight for the Tiger's Mouth Cave on Jinhu Mountain, but saw that the mountain owner, Yu Shuyang, was not there.

She flew all the way to Zhitian. The peach pit she had picked up just now looked very strange. The peach trees growing naturally around Taodu Mountain were not ordinary.

The sacred peach tree on Taodu Mountain is three thousand miles in radius. It is a sacred peach tree in the underworld. The trunk and crown of the tree are in the world of the living, while the roots are in the underworld.

Every year in the first month of the lunar calendar, people would post peach charms to worship the peach tree god, in order to pray for blessings and ward off disasters, and to ward off wandering ghosts.

The fifteen days from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival every year are the time when gods appear and wander around the human world, and it is also the time when ghosts from the underworld return to their hometowns to enjoy the sacrifices of future generations.

It is time for the dead souls and wild ghosts between heaven and earth to come out and ask for incense and pick up sacrificial offerings.

Every year on the day before the Spring Festival, the human race’s fortune officials would row boats to send the sinners to hell, and at the same time, they would pick peaches from the sacred peach tree.

This magical peach must be eaten as soon as possible after being picked, otherwise, it will soon turn into a magical peach ghost. Moreover, the magical peach kernel can only survive in the Taodu Mountain Islands.

Therefore, every year, chewed peach pits are found on various islands. This is nothing to be surprised about, as only one in ten thousand of these peach pits can germinate.

The reason why Jin Hu was so panicked was that there was a word "true" on the peach kernel, which was very unusual. You should know that there was a fixed number of real peaches on the magical peach tree, and the peach kernel was bound to grow.

Zhitian's Big Dipper Star Map was unfolded again, and the mist exhaled by the cloud tea trees completely covered the 50,000 acres of spiritual fields.

Tea trees are planted according to the star positions. Without the guidance of the Star Key, anyone who ventures into one will inevitably be trapped within the star array. Fortunately, the array contains no hidden dangers. Jin Hu doesn't understand the changes in the Big Dipper's constellations, but she and Zhixian Tu Liu worked together on the transplanting of the Yunwu tea trees, and she also knows a way to enter the array.

She took one step forward and nine steps back, circling back and forth in the formation over and over again. After probably going back and forth more than three hundred times, she suddenly felt her eyes light up and walked out of the clouds.

Tu Liu noticed it as soon as she entered the formation. The bad boy stood there with his arms folded, watching and saw the Golden Tiger circling around for more than three hundred times.

"Sister Jin, why are you here?"

Tu Liu smiled before he even opened his mouth to speak. He had learned to be tactful now, unlike the time when he followed the candlelight spirit Wan Jia while holding two water gourds.

"Isn't the mountain master here? I have something important to discuss with you." Jin Hu asked with concern.

Tu Liu looked at Jin Hu, paused for a moment, called Zhi Ma over, said a few words in its ear, and when he was done, he patted the horse's butt, and Zhi Ma disappeared in a flash.

"Sister Jin, please wait a moment."

Zhima has not yet developed any intelligence, but he is like a three or four-year-old child. He can understand what is said and can be told to do things.

The golden tiger had no choice but to wait here. At this time, the grass had grown as long as fingers. The ox and the pig were together, one swallowing the soil and spraying sand, and the other turning the sand into soil.

This group of Zhiniu have all been able to manifest themselves with the power of the Big Dipper. They can drive the star energy of the Big Dipper to attract clouds and mist, which will turn into fertile soil when they touch the spiritual sand.

Not long after, Yu Shuyang came over. He was discussing scriptures with his junior fellow apprentice at Jishuitan when he saw Zhima running over and pulling at his robes.

It seemed that he was asked to go to Zhitian next door, so he got up and followed Zhima over, only to see Tuliu and Jinhu sitting there idly.

"Tu Liu, did you let Zhi Ma go over there? This little thing is getting more and more naughty now."

Tu Liu was scolded but didn't feel bad. He stood up and said, "Master, I was thinking of giving him some more training.

Sister Jin is here to see you, she's quite anxious, please go and ask her quickly."

Yu Shuyang glared at him and said, "You've only been practicing for a few years, but all you do is hang around all day."

Tu Liu then curled his lips and hid aside. It was no wonder that he was criticized. His method of cultivation was the most difficult. He had to sacrifice and refine fifty-five magic talismans. It would take a lot of effort to break through to the ninth level.

When Jin Hu saw the mountain master coming, he hurriedly stood up to greet him. Seeing Zhixian Tu Liu scolding him, he took the opportunity to take out the peach pit.

"Master, I just found a peach seed with the word 'Zhen' on it while reclaiming spiritual fields on the west bank of the island." After saying this, Jin Hu handed over the peach core.

Yu Shuyang picked up the peach pit, only to find it was jade green in color, stained with a lot of mud and dust, with a real word "Suo" written on the front.

The divine peach tree on Taodu Mountain is one of the five largest peach roots in the world. It embodies the yin and yang of Wu, Ji and earth. Eating a Yin peach on the tree can increase one's Yin lifespan by 500 years, while eating a Yang peach can gain one's earth-walking magical power.

This carambola is also called the true seed magical peach. The magical powers it obtains all depend on the true seed it breeds. If the peach kernel is buried in the soil, it can also grow into a Shuodu peach tree.

At that time, Yu Shuyang also knew that this peach pit could not only be planted in the world of the living, but also in the underworld of the dead. What grew out would not be the Shuodu peach tree, but the Ruomu tree on the banks of the Black Water River.

"Jin, you've done very well. I have to reward you..." Yu Shuyang pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons before saying, "How about this? I'll teach you a sword-throwing technique."

He had long noticed that the golden bees were suitable for sword making, but he had always wanted to suppress their use and naturally would not teach them.

Now, no matter how valuable this genuine peach kernel is, if Jin Hu can think of handing it over to him instead of secretly keeping it for himself, he will have to reward him handsomely.

The method of stabbing with a sword is a tradition of sword-wielding, and the sword-drawing moves include straight stabbing, oblique stabbing, upward stabbing, and downward stabbing.

It looks simple, but it is actually one of the core elements of kendo. In the previous life, the killers had only two entry-level sword moves: stabbing and slashing.

Yu Shuyang wrote down the Thirteen Water-Strike Techniques and the Outline of Sword-Stabbing Practice, including diagrams and exercises, totaling twenty-two sheets.

"This sword-throwing technique can only be learned within the Golden Bee Clan. It cannot be passed on to outsiders without my order. Please swear an oath." Yu Shuyang said.

The Thirteen Water-Strike Stabs were compiled by him in his previous life, and could be considered a half-tradition of the Assassin Sect. It was not appropriate to teach or pass it on casually, so he had to make Jin Hu swear an oath beforehand.

He also had no intention of passing on the Golden Bee clan's sword tradition, so he didn't use his spiritual thoughts to teach. He only wrote down the sword techniques and sword intent and state of mind. How much Jin Hu could learn depended on his comprehension.

Jin Hu naturally swore an oath obediently. This kind of oath swearing to the sky was no joke. Heaven and earth were his witnesses. If he broke it, he would be killed.

Yu Shuyang then handed the thing to Jin Hu and told her to comprehend the true meaning of the sword art and pass it on to other bee monsters after refining the sword energy.

Jian Yuan is the sword energy generated when the sword is swung after the sword and the heart are united. This is the sword energy unique to the sword-wielding lineage, and is different from the sword energy in the four major sword skills.

He picked up the peach pit and weighed it again, thinking that it would not be easy to plant it. It was said that a real divine peach would take root as soon as it was planted in the soil, which was different from the one-in-a-million Yin peach pit.

Fortunately, Yu Shuyang was not without other solutions. He took the peach pit directly to find his junior brother Li Taiping. With this walking dictionary and know-it-all, was there any need to worry about not finding a solution?

Li Taiping was soaking in the Jishuitan Pond. The water in the pond was a blend of several spiritual waters, including the purple morning dew produced by the purple bamboo, the clouds and mist produced by the cloud and mist tea tree, as well as the Tianyi True Water and the Xuanming True Water.

The old cowhide of the rhinoceros beast was softened by soaking, and the hard skin on the cow's legs, the hooves on the cow's feet, and even the cow's hair all over its body were as soft as cooked noodles.

"Junior brother, look at this peach pit, why doesn't it take root and sprout?" Yu Shuyang asked in confusion.

Li Taiping opened one of his ox eyes, glanced at it, and moved his lips slightly as he whispered, "This isn't a real divine peach, but an ornament hanging from the divine reed rope of the peach tree."

The word "索" on the peach pit did not grow on the peach tree, but was a real word that was created by the peach tree god using the peach pit to decorate the reed rope, which was then stained over time.

"Is there any way to grow it? Could it be a dead peach pit?" Yu Shuyang was very disappointed.

"Brother, wait a few days. On the Lucky Day, offer sacrifices to the Ancient Peach God. I believe they will be able to exchange them for real peach pits."

Li Taiping felt comfortable soaking in the pool of water. He tried to say as little as possible. After he finished telling what happened, Niutou dived into the water and ignored him.
