Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 23: At the mercy of joy and anger (Please recommend!)

"Well, no need to be polite!"

Elder Ji strode into the hall and raised his hand casually, and tremendous magical power surged out, lifting up everyone present.

Everyone suppressed their fear and stood respectfully, not daring to sit down.

Old man Luo looked even uglier and was sweating profusely.

I don’t know how much Elder Ji heard of what the woman surnamed Xiong said just now.

If he really misunderstood me, I'm afraid that today my old bones will die here!

After walking through the crowd, Elder Ji flung off his fur robe and sat down on the first seat with his big horse and golden sword. He glanced at the many expressions below and smiled.
"I seem to have heard someone say that one of the people present was able to get here thanks to Senior Brother Cai's care..."

"But is it true?"

Although he spoke with a smile, the words made everyone's hearts tremble, their magic power stagnated, and they could not muster the slightest desire to disobey!

I wish I could tell everything without hiding anything!

"Report to the elders!"

Old Man Luo took a step forward and spoke tremblingly.
"This is completely nonsense. Junior Brother Li Ye is the most outstanding disciple I carefully selected from among the many disciples who received planting tasks..."

"He is the one who has harvested the most spiritual rice from the spiritual fields this time. Why does he need to rely on others for extra care?"

As he spoke, he turned around and pointed at Xiong Yinxiu on the other side.

"What happened just now was all slander by this woman without any basis. I beg for your understanding, Elder!"

As he said this, Old Man Luo bowed deeply.

Elder Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard this, glanced at Li Ye who looked calm below, and then looked at Xiong Yinxiu.

"Do you have any objection to what Brother Luo said?"

This woman's face was pale.

"I...disciple misunderstood and spoke without thinking. I hope Elder will be magnanimous..."

After the three of them thought about Li Ye's situation, they all had various guesses in their minds.

But no matter what, those are just speculations and they really have no evidence.

Not to mention that what she said was directly directed at the elder himself.

In other words, she has a hot temper and can't control her mouth, so she yells and curses.

But who knew that Elder Ji would hear this!
In addition to regret, the woman couldn't help but secretly hate Li Ye.

If it weren't for you...

"That means no!"

Elder Ji shook his head, his eyes swept across the crowd,

"I originally wanted to find a disciple with good skills to tend the spiritual fields, but I never thought that you would not wait to judge the skill level, but instead slandered me out of thin air and started verbally abusing me the moment we met..."

“You guys disappoint me!”

He spoke calmly, and although he showed no emotion, it made everyone present feel as if they were falling into an icy cave.

Well! Now I'm afraid we'll have to fight them all back!
Li Ye felt helpless and angry.

If it weren't for that stupid woman's outspokenness, it wouldn't have come to this!

I've been looking forward to it for so long, is it going to end in such a farce?
He glanced at Xiong Yinxiu coldly and made up his mind to take revenge.

Yao and Gu also looked at her unfriendly.

Even the deacon who introduced her had an ugly expression on his face, as if he had murderous intent.

After all, even if the elders don’t blame him for what happened today, he will never have any contact with the elders again in the future!
It's all this woman's fault!
"But you...Li Ye!"

Just as everyone was waiting for the decision, Elder Ji suddenly changed the subject and pointed at Li Ye.
"Although I didn't see Cai Shiwei ask anyone to tell me about you, I have heard of you from Old Man Wang before!"

Li Ye looked up in surprise, and the others glanced at him with expressions of surprise and disgust.

You kid really didn't follow Cai Shiwei's path
But you got other elders to lobby for you, right?
What difference does it make?

Wouldn’t that still be a bargain for you?

"By actively sharing your insights and skills, you have helped a group of spiritual farmers to have a good harvest. They are even willing to give you their newly harvested spiritual rice to express their gratitude for your teaching..." Elder Ji said with a playful smile on his face.
"That old man was actually quite interested in recommending you to me, but I was too lazy to accept their offer, so I turned him down..."

"I never thought that you would appear in front of me!"

Is this okay? !

Yao, Gu and Xiong's eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they heard this.

Sharing skills, expressing gratitude through spiritual rice, and receiving recommendations from elders...

Could it be that this guy had planned all this long ago?
Such cunning is really terrifying!
"I just did something insignificant. It is my honor to have such a coincidence!" Li Ye replied tactfully.

Old Man Luo looked at Li Ye, and he could hardly control the surprise on his face.

As the person who personally informed Li Ye of this matter, he did not believe that all this was just a coincidence.

I'm afraid that after I mentioned it at the beginning, this guy started to make plans as soon as he returned!

In order to fight for this opportunity, he can do so much... Even if Li Ye's qualifications are not good, Old Man Luo dare not underestimate him anymore!
I felt even more grateful for myself for taking the initiative to make friends.

Humph! Look at what kind of chickens and dogs you have chosen. You dare to compete with me?!

When Junior Brother Li achieves something in the future, you guys will no longer be qualified to stand with me!

The three deacons and disciples who accompanied him looked at the look in Old Man Luo's eyes and felt angry and jealous.

If the occasion wasn't wrong, they would definitely come...

Ask Old Man Luo how he got to know someone like Li Ye!
"That's it!"

"Since I've decided not to do Old Man Wang a favor, I won't decide on a candidate directly."

Elder Ji waved his hand and said, "Looking for someone else is also troublesome, so I will give you another chance..."

In an instant, the four spiritual farmers' disciples present, including Li Ye, all showed surprise on their faces.

Especially the other three people, they thought that Elder Ji was going to hand over the task to Li Ye, but they didn't expect there was still a chance!
For a moment, Yao and Gu looked at Li Ye with a look of gloating but also a bit of kindness.

After coming to his senses after the surprise, Li Ye couldn't help but secretly curse the elder for being too nosy, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With his current attainments in spiritual plants, he could even give second-level spiritual medicines a try. As long as there was still a chance, what was the harm in competing with them?
It's just that the Qi training disciples are completely at the mercy of the Foundation Establishment Elder's mood...

This experience once again fueled his desire for higher cultivation!
Elder Ji ignored them and continued in a deep voice,
"My spiritual fields are mainly planted with two spiritual crops: Fiery Sunflower and Blood Rice. The former is a second-level spiritual medicine, and the latter is also a top-level first-level..."

"I will personally take care of the Fiery Sun Flower. I, your disciple, only need to help out a little. But even so, I cannot let someone with inferior skills spoil my precious elixir."

"Write down the recipes for cooking the two spiritual plants and present them to me. If you don't know how to do it, you don't need to stay here any longer!"

As he spoke, the boy beside him took out the jade slip and handed it to Li Ye and the other three.

"Thank you."

Li Ye thanked him, thought for a moment, and then placed the jade slip on his forehead, carefully recording what he had mastered.

In just a few breaths, the four of them handed over the jade slips almost at the same time.

They looked at each other, but no one looked nervous.

Especially seeing Li Ye's calm expression.

Xiong Yinxiu looked worried. Although she had come to her senses a little, she was still trying to maintain her confidence.

Yao and Gu saw this and secretly regretted their previous judgment.

From what Elder Ji said just now, it can be seen that this boy has obvious attainments in the art of spiritual plants, but they made rash judgments and almost ruined their chance.

Now it is only with the help of the other party that there is a turnaround and we are able to gain something.

If I had known this, why would I have provoked him and made enemies out of nothing!
Gossip and rumors are deadly!

Li Ye was willing to sacrifice his own interests for this opportunity and planned for so long...

With such a cunning mind and even a murderous nature, he is no match for those guys who tinker in the spiritual fields all day long!

No matter what the outcome is, I must make a good friend of Li Ye...

So as to avoid being envied and getting into trouble!
　I will start posting recommendations next week. I hope readers will keep following the series to avoid giving up after one round. Thank you!
