From Celestial Official to Great Celestial Venerable

Chapter 83: Flowers Blooming in an Instant
call! !

Standing atop the flying sword, Qin Chuan experienced a thrill and excitement completely different from that of flying boats.

Before he could even take a closer look at Fairy Sangsang's ancient immortal sword from Moon Cold Palace, he was terrified by her sword-wielding skills.

She transformed the celestial sword, which resembled an ice crystal from the moon palace, into a beam of light, enveloping Qin Chuan as they weaved back and forth through the perfect capital, at an extreme speed that even produced sonic booms!
Judging from the speed and momentum of the flying sword alone, Qin Chuan knew that her cultivation level was definitely no lower than the Golden Core realm.

It was even more imposing than that of Master Xuanji.

If this were in the Eastern Heaven, such a sword-riding maneuver, weaving and circling past numerous shops and mountains, would have already drawn warnings from the patrolling immortal guards. Moreover, this was the capital city. Yet, in this perfect Shengjing, no one paid any attention to Liu Sangsang's sword-riding. In fact, as she passed through many shops and streets, she was met with numerous whistles and screams, clearly interacting with her.

Several times, Qin Chuan instinctively sensed with his divine sense that such a fast escape speed meant that he was definitely going to crash into the sacred mountain, but Liu Sangsang grazed past the edge of the mountain.

It must be admitted that flying swords are indeed faster and freer than flying boats. They do not need to travel along spiritual paths, and in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrive at a celestial sect garden a thousand miles away from Shengjing.

[Successfully refined 'Qi into sword']

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Qin Chuan extracted a tiny fraction of the essence of this ancient immortal sword: a method of "transforming qi into sword." This method involves condensing the true qi and magical power within the body into sword qi, eliminating the need for flying swords; one's own body is the sword.

Although this method is of little use to him now, what if he returns to Dongsheng in the future and has to fight against others using magic?
Whether in the ancient mythological era or in the current new era of cultivation, sword immortals have always been the most powerful cultivators in their realm. Their self-proclaimed ability to "break through all laws with a single sword" is not just talk, but something they can truly do.

"Hey, did you steal some of my swordsmanship techniques from that sword flash just now?"

Unexpectedly, after Qin Chuan obtained the sword energy in the form of threads, Liu Sangsang, as the most talented natural sword immortal of the Moon Cold Palace in this generation, immediately and keenly sensed the presence of a trace of 'sword energy' on Qin Chuan's body. This was an instinct of a sword immortal.

Qin Chuan was slightly startled, but immediately said without changing his expression, "The fairy's swordsmanship is indeed mysterious. I have indeed gained a lot from watching her all the way here."

He said that.

To Liu Sangsang's even greater surprise, she asked curiously, "Then demonstrate for me, and let's see how much you've learned?"

After pondering for a moment, Qin Chuan tried to transform the spiritual energy within his body into a wisp of sword energy, which landed on his fingertips and coiled like a small young dragon, extremely sharp.

Liu Sangsang suddenly widened her eyes and said, "In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, you have learned the secret of turning qi into sword. It seems that you are indeed worthy of being praised by the God King for your talent. I did not expect that you not only have great talent in the way of space, but also in swordsmanship... I should have taken you on the flying boat."

"It was my fault. I will forget this sword technique as soon as I get back." Qin Chuan immediately began to demonstrate.

"Fine, it's quite an achievement that you can understand something from a cup of tea."

She hummed:

"I really hate geniuses like you the most. I can't help but get the better of you. Now, Sun Qinghan will definitely have to repay me with another favor, otherwise, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan realized that the other party didn't seem to mind him learning some of the tricks. He then understood that the so-called "transforming Qi into sword" technique was probably just a basic, mediocre method within the Moonfrost Palace. After all, the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Sword contained over a thousand different techniques, and Qin Chuan could only extract the most basic one from them, which was the reason why.

He then smoothly changed the subject and asked:

"This humble Taoist priest is still unclear about how the fairy and our County God Sun met. Your relationship seems to be as close as sisters."

"She came here with her mother ten years ago and stayed at our Moon Cold Palace for a while."

Recalling the past, Liu Sangsang also had a hint of reminiscence in her voice. As if remembering something, she smiled wistfully and said:
"You say she's the county god, which is the county magistrate? Haha, it's hard to imagine that crazy woman could actually govern a region properly. You don't know, back then, this crazy woman relied on her status to wreak havoc in the Moon Cold Palace, beating up all the Moon Cold Palace disciples who were her age at the time. But, it was precisely because of her intervention that I taught that bitch Qinghui a lesson, and that's how we became friends after our fight."

Qin Chuan was stunned. He never expected to hear such a vivid image of Sun Qinghan, the county god, from the mouth of this fairy Sangsang.

He suddenly asked, "What did the fairy just say about the identity of our County God, Sun Qinghan?"

"So you didn't know who she was?"

Liu Sangsang smiled knowingly:
"That makes sense, but since you don't know, I can't tell you either. In your Eastern Continent, it's called 'It's inconvenient to say more, those who know, know, right?'"

Just that one sentence sparked a whole host of thoughts in Qin Chuan's mind.

When he read the article about Jiuchuan County before, he had some guesses about the arrival of this 28-year-old female Taoist in Jiuchuan. Now, after hearing about it, Qin Chuan has a rough idea of ​​just how profound the background of Dong Sheng, who can make a major sect of a ten-thousand-year-old holy land in Perfect Shengjing respect her, really is.

Surname Sun...

He wisely refrained from asking further questions. Although he had become a celebrity in Perfect World because of the Holy Temple Banquet, he would still be a Heavenly Register Daoist in Jiuchuan County after returning to Dongsheng Divine Continent. There were some secrets of the Heavenly Family that he was not comfortable knowing, so it was best not to know them.

Liu Sangsang led Qin Chuan into this celestial garden. "Holy Maiden!"

As soon as they reached the outside of the garden, a group of more than a dozen strongmen and divine servants came out to greet them.

"So Fairy Sangsang is the Holy Maiden of Moon Cold Palace?!" Qin Chuan was filled with awe.

The Perfect World divides the world into 49 Dao Provinces. Within each Dao Province, there is only one Great Holy Land. The Lord of the Holy Land is the Holy Lord, who is also the leader of the Dao Province and governs all sects and factions within the Dao Province. Under the Holy Lord, there are Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, who are the successors of the next Holy Lord and the Holy Lord's wives.

If this were in China, he could be considered the heir to the grotto-heaven.

I just don't know which Dao state the Moon Cold Palace is located in.

Liu Sangsang ignored Qin Chuan's reaction and stepped forward, saying:
"I've brought a friend from Dongsheng Shenzhou who wants to learn about the cultivation of spirit oranges from you. Who's in charge here?"

Upon hearing this, a small old man with white hair and beard immediately stepped forward, leaning on a cane, and respectfully said:
"Your Majesty, I am the mountain god of this 'Emerald Mountain' where fragrant oranges grow, and I am in charge of planting eight thousand acres of these oranges."

Eight thousand acres!
Qin Chuan was secretly shocked. It was likely that the entire Jiuchuan County couldn't gather so many spirit fields to grow spirit orange trees, and this was only a part of the assets of Yuehan Palace.

“It’s you. Alright, I’ll leave this friend of mine to you. You have to answer any questions he has about the cultivation of Ling oranges, understand?” Liu Sangsang said.

"The Holy Maiden has decreed, how dare this humble god disobey?" After bowing, the mountain god of Cui Luan Mountain turned to Qin Chuan and asked, "I wonder what this fellow Daoist from beyond the heavens wishes to know?"

Qin Chuan couldn't think of what to ask first, so he returned the greeting and said, "Please, Mountain God, tell me about the planting and pest control process of your sacred oranges."

Upon hearing this, the mountain god of Cuiluan Mountain said, "The fragrant oranges grown in our Cuiluan Mountain area are of a variety that originated from Jinzhou..."

As Liu Sangsang listened, she grew bored and yawned, saying, "Mountain God, I'm going to rest at your mountain god temple. You can call me when my friend is about to leave."

"Please proceed, Holy Maiden," the Mountain God said hastily.

"Please take care, fairy." Qin Chuan immediately bowed as well.

After Liu Sangsang left, Qin Chuan followed the mountain god into the orange grove. Upon entering, he found himself surrounded by clouds of spiritual energy, with mist swirling around his feet, truly like entering the mythical 'Peach Garden'.

When I saw the oranges on the tree again, each one was as big as a baby's head, golden yellow all over, and extremely fragrant.

Knowing that Qin Chuan was regarded as a fellow Daoist by the Holy Maiden, the Mountain God dared not treat him poorly, so he picked a spirit orange and gave it to Qin Chuan to taste.

After tasting it, Qin Chuan felt that County God Sun Qinghan was indeed farsighted. Although the spiritual energy contained in this product was not as great as that of Cloud Mist Tea, it could be considered a more universally applicable spiritual fruit. Moreover, the soil in Jiuchuan was indeed not much different from the soil in this garden.

"How do you all usually take care of the spiritual fruits in this garden? What farming tools do you use? May I see them?" Qin Chuan asked.

The mountain god obeyed and brought out many of the tools that the garden's strongmen used to take care of the garden.

Qin Chuan handled them one by one and asked the strongmen for instructions on how to use them. Before long, he had mastered all the methods the strongmen used to take care of the spirit oranges. The most important one was a "grafting" technique.

It turns out that there are many new varieties of fragrant oranges in this garden, which are formed through grafting.

This gave Qin Chuan the idea of ​​cultivating a new variety of orange tree in Dongsheng through hybridization, grafting and other techniques.

The mountain god, as if divinely inspired, introduced a tree to Qin Chuan, saying:

"These are all new varieties in our orchard, grafted only this May. Fellow Daoist, please try them."

As he spoke, he picked another 'Fragrant Orange' from a new fruit tree. After peeling the orange, he found that the flesh inside was blood red, and the spiritual energy was more than three times stronger. Qin Chuan took a bite and felt that the blood and energy in his body were nourished, comparable to the effect of ginseng.

Qin Chuan secretly admired it, then suddenly asked in surprise, "It was only grafted in May this year, how come it already has fruit?"

The mountain god smiled and said, "Naturally, it's because of a Taoist technique."

Qin Chuan subconsciously asked, "What kind of Taoist technique?"

The mountain god smiled faintly and said, "This is a Taoist technique of my holy land. I can only tell you that its name is 'Flowers Bloom in an Instant'."
