Dao Seed Immortal Lord

The spirit boat landed in a square.

As soon as everyone stepped off the spirit boat and their feet touched the ground, a dense, almost tangible, spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed towards them.

The spiritual energy was mixed with the fresh fragrance of hundreds of medicinal herbs. Taking a deep breath, one felt a coolness in the lungs and even a clearer mind.

"This...this is Haiqing Garden?"

Li Bai looked up and saw a vast expanse of land stretching to the horizon.

In the distance, the mountains are dark green, and the clouds and mist surge between the ravines, cutting the entire medicinal garden into countless distinct spiritual fields.

Each spiritual field is planted with different spiritual herbs. Some glow with a crimson light, some flow with a pale blue glow, and some are golden yellow. They appear and disappear in the clouds and mist, as if the Milky Way has fallen to earth.

A straight avenue paved with jade stretches out nearby, with neatly arranged spiritual plant racks on both sides. The racks are covered with various vines and spiritual herbs, and dewdrops roll on the leaves, reflecting a crystal-clear luster.

Further away, a sacred spring cascades down from the mountain cliff, forming a small waterfall, with a rainbow suspended in the mist.

"It's huge...it's more than ten times bigger than Peach Blossom Village!"

"Hey, look over there! Aren't those hydrangeas? They've planted a whole patch of them!"

"And over there, fire lingzhi! My goodness, fire lingzhi is being grown in large quantities here! How many tens of thousands of fire lingzhi are there?!"

The two or three hundred spirit plant servants who emerged from the spirit boat were all shocked and astonished. Some stared wide-eyed, some opened their mouths wide, and some even trembled in fear, standing there dumbfounded.

All the medicinal herbs they've ever seen in their lives combined probably don't even amount to a fraction of what's in this corner of the herb garden.

Li Bai was also greatly shaken, but he quickly calmed down and scanned his surroundings warily.

In front of the square, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe stood with his hands behind his back.

The man had a square face, thick, dark eyebrows, deep, unfathomable eyes, and an aura as vast as the sea.

Although he did not deliberately release his aura, his mere presence alone caused the hundreds of servants present to feel a sense of oppression from a life-level perspective.

It felt as if I was facing not a person, but a majestic mountain.

Foundation building realm!

Li Bai felt a chill and quickly lowered his gaze, not daring to look directly at her.

Behind the Foundation Establishment Realm deacon, a dozen cultivators dressed in the robes of the Flowing Cloud Sect's spirit plant masters stood quietly.

Each of them had different spiritual plant emblems embroidered on the cuffs of their robes; some were lingzhi mushrooms, some were sword grass, and some were lotus flowers, representing their respective areas of expertise in spiritual plants.

The lowest cultivation level among these people was the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, while the highest level had an aura as deep as an abyss, with spiritual light from plants flowing around them, which shocked Li Bai and the others.

"quiet."

The Foundation Establishment Realm deacon spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it resonated clearly in everyone's ears like a morning bell or evening drum.

The square fell silent instantly, and the hundreds of servants were trembling with fear.

"I am Yuan Hong, steward of Haiqing Garden."

Deacon Yuan's gaze swept over the crowd. "Now that you have arrived, you are all people of Haiqing Garden."

"From this day forward, you will no longer be ordinary servants, but apprentices in the herb garden. From now on, you will receive a monthly salary as apprentices, and you will also receive better training and treatment."

"Of course, if anyone dares to be lazy, steal medicinal herbs, or leak the secrets of the herb garden, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The voice was calm and indifferent, yet it resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and bowed their heads in agreement, saying, "We will obey your command."

At this moment, a manager at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm stepped forward and began to assign everyone's destinations according to the roster.

Most of the laborers were divided into dozens of teams, led by different spiritual plant master apprentices, and went to the ordinary spiritual field area outside the herb garden.

Those areas mainly cultivate basic spiritual herbs such as low-grade spiritual rice and five-spirit seeds. Although the spiritual energy is abundant, the danger factor is the lowest.

Old He patted Li Bai on the shoulder and whispered, "Kid, I'm off. Take care of yourself."

Li Bai nodded: "Take care, Lao He."

Old He left with a group of servants, his back hunched, gradually disappearing at the end of the Lingtian Path.

After everyone had finished distributing their tasks, Feng Zhenyue straightened his clothes and led Li Bai quickly to Steward Yuan.

He bowed respectfully and said in a low voice, "Steward Yuan, apart from that group of spirit plant servants, this junior brother, although he also started out as a spirit plant servant, recently had an opportunity in the servants' hall and obtained a first-level low-grade spirit plant master's inheritance, the 'Wood Spirit Scripture.' He has now entered the first stage of cultivation and successfully switched to other cultivation methods."

As he spoke, Feng Zhenyue stepped to the side, revealing Li Bai behind him.

Deacon Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze falling on Li Bai with a mixture of scrutiny and surprise.

"Does the Miscellaneous Service Hall have a lineage of spirit plant masters?" He asked in a low voice. "I remember that the inheritance pavilion of the Miscellaneous Service Hall only contains some ordinary spells and basic cultivation techniques. I have never heard of any lineage of spirit plant masters."

Feng Zhenyue quickly replied, "Reporting to you, sir, this is absolutely true."

"When Junior Brother Li knelt and worshipped before the ancestral master's statue in the miscellaneous hall, he triggered the ancestral master's statue to manifest, descending in a phantom form and personally bestowing upon him the inheritance of the 'Wood Spirit Scripture'."

"Zhou Yuan, a disciple of the Miscellaneous Service Hall who was on duty at the time, witnessed this with his own eyes, and the matter has already spread throughout the Miscellaneous Service Hall of Qingyun Market."

"Is the statue of the patriarch manifesting its power?"

Deacon Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the dozen or so spirit plant masters behind him also looked at each other in shock.

The appearance of the ancestral master's statue is a rare phenomenon that the Liuyun Sect rarely sees in a hundred years!

How could a mere servant of spirit plants gain the favor of the patriarch?

Deacon Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and looked at Li Bai again.

This time, his gaze became sharp and deep, as if he wanted to see through Li Bai from the inside out.

"Your name is Li Bai?"

"Replying to you, sir, this disciple is indeed Li Bai." Li Bai stepped forward, bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Show me your plant magic."

Li Bai nodded, made a hand seal, and the Green Wood Spirit Seed within his body began to rotate slightly.

A wisp of emerald green wood spirit energy emerged from his palm, transforming into a misty haze that enveloped a spirit herb that had just been trampled beside him.

The herb straightened its stem at a visible speed, the wounds on its leaves quickly healed, and it regained its vitality.

Next, Li Bai used the Spirit Gathering Technique, his fingertips circulating magic power to inscribe a small Spirit Gathering Array on the ground. The array patterns lit up, and the surrounding spiritual energy slowly gathered.

Finally, he spoke of the Spirit Nourishing Technique. He placed his hand on a spiritual herb, closed his eyes for a moment, and said, "The roots of this spiritual herb are slightly damaged. It should be that the main root was damaged during transplantation. It needs to be nourished with spiritual liquid for three days to recover."

Then there's the Spirit Condensation Technique. With it, a tiny drop of spiritual medicine quickly condensed into two layers at Li Bai's fingertip.

Behind Deacon Yuan, a first-tier high-grade spirit plant master's eyes gleamed. His expression slightly narrowed as he looked at Li Bai for a few moments before exclaiming in amazement, "This is indeed the skill of a spirit plant master, and all his spells are quite accomplished, probably at least at the minor completion stage."

"How long has he been holding this inheritance? He's already mastered these spells to a minor level?!"

By the end, his voice had become somewhat doubtful and uncertain.

That's unbelievable.

Little did people know that this was the result of Li Bai's deliberate control, as he did not want it to be too shocking.

Otherwise, what they would see now is the complete and perfect essence of several spells!
