Chapter 213: Chapter 153: How Preposterous (Two in One, Please Subscribe) Chapter 213: Chapter 153: How Preposterous (Two in One, Please Subscribe) Emei’s rear mountains, Deep Pond.
All the disciples and everyone in the surveillance room widened their eyes, looking in the direction the old temple master was pointing.
There, they saw a bud of a golden lotus about to bloom.
Looking at these golden lotuses, which clearly were no ordinary items, someone couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
The old temple master shot the disciple a glance.
The budding golden lotus did indeed emit a slight fragrance into the air, but to say it was very fragrant was simply self-delusion.
And even if it were fragrant, the old temple master had already decided not to let these disciples stay there.
With more people, there would be more variables.
He adjusted his thoughts, recalling the message left by the True Cultivator he met while fishing.
He first briefly explained that the lotus in the Deep Pond was called Golden Spirit Lotus Rice.
It was just budding now and required meticulous care, waiting for it to bloom before reaping the rewards.
After casting a glance at everyone looking at him,
he decided to divide the disciples from Green Wood Taoist Temple, who were eligible to come to the Deep Pond and had received this fortunate opportunity, into three groups.
Each group could guard these Golden Spirit Lotus Rice for eight hours a day, implementing shifts to achieve all-day care without issues.
After naming one group to stay behind, he let the junior brother take those reluctant disciples back to the Taoist Temple.
The old temple master sat cross-legged on a rock, receiving special care due to favors from Su Ping.
Through the Health Care Skill, the old temple master reached the entrance level and even approached minor accomplishment in one afternoon.
With the absorption of spiritual energy, he now felt warm all over, not tired at all.
He began instructing the remaining disciples on how to position themselves and how to recognize the state of the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice in order to care for them.
Latter, the old temple master took out a communication device to contact the Vice President.
The Vice President had already known that Green Wood Taoist Temple had witnessed another anomaly, relating to cultivation.
He was anxious like ants on a hot pan.
Seeing the call from the old temple master, the Vice President breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly answered the old temple master’s call and immediately put it on speakerphone on his desk.
I couldn’t help it, as several higher-ups were also smilingly looking at him in his office at that moment!
Fortunately, the old temple master did not mention anything about profit sharing.
He merely mentioned the names of the spiritual objects in the Deep Pond and the fact that they were not yet mature.
Then the old temple master got to the point.
That was, the birth of spiritual objects could likely attract pests from the surroundings.
To protect these spiritual objects, the old temple master hoped the Vice President could think of some measures.
The Vice President looked at the higher-ups sitting in front of him, saw their nods, and then loudly agreed.
Hence, before the night had fully fallen,
Large numbers of helicopters and drones appeared over Emei’s rear mountain protected area.
They carried a large amount of related equipment and began constructing circles of protective measures around the Deep Pond.
The targets were not only humans and wild beasts.
But also those snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
During this period, the Emei monkey sanctuary experienced some disturbances.
A few particularly strong, intelligent Monkey Kings seemed to instinctively sense the existence of the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice.
They gathered their respective monkey troops, trying to approach the rear mountain.
But this time, these monkeys encountered adversaries.
Fully armed soldiers, with no skin exposed, used electric shock guns and smoke bombs on the monkeys, together with robot dogs and drones,
Scattering the monkey troops at the same time.
Commanders, based on substantial video analysis, identified these Monkey Kings as key to the incident.
They thus dispatched squads that sedated the Monkey Kings and took them to a research facility to determine if these monkeys had also undergone some mutations.
The reason for suddenly leading the monkey troops toward the rear mountain.
Meanwhile, the sky was also monitored by drones, creating a barrier against birds and flying insects mid-air.
And indeed, not long after, it blocked numerous birds attracted by the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice from diving down.
Fortunately, the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice did not attract insects and ants, these difficult-to-prevent swarming creatures.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, what is considered a significant danger of pest infestations became exceptionally simple on Water Blue Star.
The old temple master guarded the Deep Pond throughout the night.
After receiving assurance from the Vice President that the pond was continuously monitored remotely, and that any disciple in the Taoist Temple who suddenly acted irrationally would be stopped immediately, the old temple master finally got up and returned to the Taoist Temple to rest after changing shifts.
In the surveillance room, the investigators enviously watched the old temple master return to the Taoist Temple.
They all understood that the old temple master must have contacted that True Cultivator again.
When these Golden Spirit Lotus Rice matured, others might not know, but the old temple master was sure to benefit.
These investigators were also native to the Eastern Ancient Country and harbored their own dreams of becoming Immortal Heroes.
Leaving aside unreliable notions such as eternal youth.
To be able to fly through the air and cast myriad spells, eliminating demons and dispelling evil.
Who hasn’t fantasized about such feats during their adolescent years?
In Nier, outside Gad City,
Thanks to President Huang and the other five Registered Disciples gathering sufficient funds recently from their new friends,
a Gad City airport built by several construction crews from the Eastern Ancient Country had already laid down multiple functional runways and control towers.
With the second phase of construction continuing,
airliners full of passengers had already landed at this airport.
