Dao Seed Immortal Lord

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He was already a first-tier low-grade spirit plant master.

If I go to the herb garden as a spiritual plant master, will I be treated differently?

He hesitated for a moment, but still chose to say it.

Li Bai stepped forward, approached Feng Zhenyue, clasped his hands in a salute, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Feng, I have something to tell you."

Feng Zhenyue raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Li Bai. He remembered this young man; he had noticed that Li Bai had broken through to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm at a young age when he was collecting tribute last time, and his aptitude was quite good among the menial servants.

"explain."

Li Bai took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Some time ago, when I went to the Market Hall to obtain an advanced inheritance, I unexpectedly received the favor of the Ancestral Master and obtained a first-tier low-grade spirit plant master inheritance, the 'Wood Spirit Scripture'. Now I have successfully switched to this cultivation and have stepped into the threshold of a first-tier low-grade spirit plant master."

After a pause, Li Bai looked up at Feng Zhenyue and asked, "This disciple would like to ask, if I were to go to the medicine garden as a spirit plant master, what arrangements would you make, senior brother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the square fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Li Bai, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

Old He froze, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

"This...this kid..."

When he gave Li Bai that thirty-year-old Qi Refining Grass, he only hoped that Li Bai could break through to the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible. He never expected that the kid would become a Spirit Plant Master without making a sound!

A first-tier, low-grade spirit plant master!

That's a status that even many outer disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect would covet!

"Li...Li Bai became a spirit plant master?"

"To acquire an advanced spell in the servants' quarters and actually obtain the inheritance of a first-tier low-grade spirit plant master?! How is that possible?!"

"He's only a few years old! He not only reached the initial stage of Qi Refining, but also had a fortuitous opportunity to become a first-tier low-grade spirit plant master? Is his talent... really just that of a spirit plant choresman, or is it really a pseudo-spiritual root talent?"

The gazes of the crowd toward Li Bai were extremely complex, containing shock, envy, awe, and a deep sense of powerlessness.

They've toiled here for decades, struggling even to break through to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, while this young upstart not only broke through to the Qi Refining Realm in just over two years, but has now also obtained the opportunity to become a Spirit Plant Master...

The gap is so huge it's utterly disheartening, inspiring envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Feng Zhenyue's pupils suddenly contracted as he stared intently at Li Bai.

"What did you say? You received the favor of the patriarch and inherited the legacy of a spirit plant master?" His voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

The lineage of spiritual plant masters is fine.

But the favor bestowed by the patriarch is no ordinary matter! How could a mere spirit plant servant receive the patriarch's favor?! Feng Zhenyue was somewhat dumbfounded.

Li Bai nodded and immediately used three spirit plant master spells: Wood Spirit Technique, Spirit Gathering Technique, and Spirit Nourishing Technique.

With skillful technique and a surge of spiritual light, a unique aura of plant magic belonging to the plant master spread out.

Feng Zhenyue glanced at Li Bai, his eyes gleaming: "Indeed, this is the skill of a spirit plant master! And all three spells are quite accomplished!"

He took a deep breath, looked Li Bai up and down, and the contempt in his eyes vanished, replaced by respect.

After a moment's hesitation, Feng Zhenyue solemnly said, "Alright, alright, Junior Brother Li, as long as you're willing to go to the herb garden, I'll introduce you to a senior first-grade high-level spiritual plant master to become your teacher!"

"Moreover, spirit plant masters hold an extremely high status in the herb garden, and ordinary outer disciples dare not offend them easily. Once you go there, you can focus on cultivating spirit herbs and improving your cultivation; you don't need to do hard labor like ordinary servants or apprentices."

Li Bai was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Feng."

Feng Zhenyue waved his hand and looked at the others: "Is there anyone else who wants to change their mind? If not, board the ship immediately."

No one changed their mind.

Those who were initially hesitant turned their hesitation into determination after seeing Li Bai's identity as a plant master revealed. If even a young man like Li Bai dared to go, what did they have to be afraid of?

With a wave of his sleeve, Feng Zhenyue used his magic to lift everyone up and send them onto the spirit boat that was suspended in mid-air.

The interior of the spirit boat was much larger than it appeared from the outside, measuring several tens of feet square, and was divided into two levels.

The lower level is the cabin, furnished with dozens of cushions for people to sit and rest, while the upper level is the deck, offering a panoramic view of the scenery below.

When Li Bai boarded the spirit boat, he found that there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were also spirit plant servants from other places, men and women, young and old, most of whom were at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm. A rough count revealed that there were at least one or two hundred of them.

Among them were more than a dozen people with extremely strong cultivation, whose auras were profound and steady, and who had reached the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, or even approached the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Those people were dressed differently from the servants of Peach Blossom Village, and were obviously from other villages or spiritual fields.

Li Bai's vigilance intensified.

The fact that so many spirit plant servants were drawn from different places indicates that the losses at the front lines were indeed considerable.

He and Lao He found a corner to sit down.

The spirit boat trembled slightly, slowly rose into the air, and flew towards the depths of the distant mountains.

Through the windows of the spirit boat, one could see Peach Blossom Village below growing smaller and smaller until it became a black dot and disappeared into the clouds.

Old He was silent for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Li Bai and stared at him for a few moments.

"You little rascal...you've been hiding it well."

Li Bai smiled sheepishly: "Thanks to your Qi-refining grass, Lao He, otherwise I wouldn't have broken through so quickly, and I wouldn't have had the chance to go to the Miscellaneous Service Hall to obtain the inheritance."

Old He waved his hand and sighed, "That's your own fate. I never expect anything in return for what I give away. It's just..."

He paused, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, "Seeing your achievements today, this old man is also happy for you."

"Once you reach the herb garden, you must cultivate diligently to strive for a better inheritance as a spirit plant master. Although it's dangerous there, there are also many opportunities. Who knows, one day you might actually become a formal disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Don't forget to give this old man a hand then."

Li Bai nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Lao He, I, Li Bai, am not an ungrateful person. If I truly achieve something in the future, I will never forget the kindness I have shown you today."

Old He smiled, said nothing more, and closed his eyes to rest.

Li Bai also sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

The spirit boat traveled deep into the mountains, with clouds and mist swirling outside the window. Occasionally, a glimmer of spiritual light could be seen below, whether from a market town or a cultivator's cave.

After an unknown amount of time, the spirit boat suddenly shuddered and its speed noticeably slowed down.

Feng Zhenyue's voice came from ahead: "Haiqing Garden, we've arrived."

Since Li Bai transmigrated, he has not had much contact with the environment of the immortal sects. He has only been to the market twice and seen what the market looks like.

Now, as Li Bai stepped out of the spirit boat, the vast medicinal garden before him shook him to his core. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, several times richer than that of Peach Blossom Village, rushed towards him like a mist.

Countless spiritual herbs, shrouded in a faint glow, appeared and disappeared amidst the swirling clouds and mist...

It stretches as far as the eye can see!

Li Bai's eyes were filled with shock, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before. He was both nervous and excited, wondering how many magical elixirs this must have taken.
