“You still dare mention the mission!” Shu Yi was infuriated and directly replied in her mind, “What’s going on with this spirit field? Didn’t they say this was the area with the weakest Spirit Qi? Why was he still able to grow spirit herbs. And they’re not the ordinary spirit herbs!”
[I don’t know either, but this is a high level immortal cultivating world, its Heavenly Dao is much stronger than other elementary worlds. Besides, he is someone who had once ascended in his previous life, those who are able to ascend must have the grace of the Heavenly Dao.]
“Senior Sister?” Seeing that she wasn’t replying, Zuo Shuming asked again.
Shu Yi inhaled and exhaled deeply several times before replying with gritted teeth. “No, need!”
“Oh.” Zuo Shuming was not bothered too, they weren’t close anyway, he turned and sat back in the same spot to continue cultivating.
She then continued to question 001.
“What exactly are those spirit herbs in the ground? Why was that He guy so nervous just now?”
[All these seems to be variant spirit herbs and some are advance spirit herbs.]
“All of them?”
[That’s right!]
“It seems that this Zuo Shuming must still have a trump card.” Shu Yi’s expression darkened. “He might have gotten other opportunities. 001 can you sense what he has on his body now?”
[No! If I scan directly, the Heavenly Dao will sense it.]
Her long face grew more upset. “Hmph! Forget it, we will find out somehow.”
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Say, could this invader’s habit of turning on the public… no, the broadcast at every turn not be changed? They really didn’t want to get spoilers on her upcoming schemes and plots!
Lonemoon sighed and turned to look at the spirit field before him. Others could only see rows of variant or advanced spirit herbs, but in his eyes, the entire spirit field was covered with a thick layer of authority overhead. It seemed like there were numerous soft voices nagging beside every stem of spirit herb.
“Grow quickly, grow quickly, grow quickly… grow to be prettier, grow to be more good-looking… quick quick quick!”
The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched and he immediately turned back to look at Chef who looked equally speechless and sent a voice transmission, “Chef.”
“… Mm.” Chef nodded before looking up at a certain spot in the sky. “That’s enough.”
Following that, a faintly soft voice sounded by their ears at the same time. “Alright Boss, no problem Boss!” Leave a good rating!
In the next second, the authority gathered above the spirit field completely dissipated.
——————
They’d thought once Steward He left, it would take a while before he returned. Unexpectedly, in less than 15 minutes, several figures came flying from the main peak.
The one right at the front looked slightly familiar, it was the Sect Master of Gui Yi Sect. Following behind were several Nascent Soul cultivators, seeming to be the Elders of each mountain. They were also present in the big hall the other day.
Once they landed, the few of them stared right at the spirit field before them, everyone had wide eyes, wearing looks of disbelief.
“It’s rea… really variant spirit herbs!” The Sect Master looked wholly agitated.
“Not just that!” Another Nascent Soul cultivator said even more excitedly. “Look at that stem, seven colors on one leaf, that is an advanced spirit herb! And it is at least a second level one.”
“This is my first time seeing so many variant spirit herbs.” The Sect Master was so excited that his hands were trembling slightly as he quickly grabbed the steward who reported this. “He Fu, who did you say farmed this land?”
“Replying to Sect Master, it was an outer sect disciple named Zuo Shuming.” Steward He didn’t dare to hide anything and quickly answered with cupped fists.
Everyone then recovered from their agitation and looked towards Lonemoon and Zuo Shuming who stood by the side.
“Greetings Sect Master, Elders!” Both of them could only step forward and bow.
The Sect Master surveyed the both of them and finally locked his eyes on Zuo Shuming who had perfected the Qi Refinement stage. “You farmed these spirit herbs?!”
“Replying to Sect Master, I did it together with Brother Lonemoon.” Zuo Shuming answered.
“Mm.” A hint of admiration flashed through the Sect Master’s eyes, he doesn’t rush to put all the credit on himself, good prospects. “Do you know that variant spirit herbs have not appeared in my Gui Yi Sect for several thousands of years. Though these are low level ones, their effectiveness are already comparable to high level spirit herbs. Are you willing to hand in all of these spirit herbs to the sect?” He asked in a low voice, then added after some thought. “Of course we will reward you for them.”
Zuo Shuming looked back at Lonemoon, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he then replied. “These spirit herbs were arranged to be planted by the sect in the first place. They should naturally be handed in to the sect.” Besides, he had yet to start learning about pill refinement, the spirit herbs were actually of no use to him.
“Good good good!” The sect master’s gaze became even more pleased. “I will calculate everything and pay spirit stones to both of you according to the market price. Both of your dispositions are not bad, from today onwards, you are official disciples and part of my main peak.”
Zuo Shuming was instantly delighted and was about to reply.
But Shu Yi from beside him panicked and cried out, “No!”
The Sect Master faltered, only noticing Shu Yi then. “Oh, Little Yi is here too! Why are you…”
He was about to ask when an urgent call sounded from above. “Where have the variant spirit herbs and advanced spirit herbs appeared!” In the next second, a figure carrying the Spirit Qi of the Soul Formation phase rushed over, instantly appearing beside everyone else.
“Greetings Uncle-Master Tian Yi!” The Nascent Souls all bowed. The person who came was the Soul Formation cultivator who almost took Zuo Shuming under his wing to the Dan Xia Mountain.
However Tian Yi ignored them all and instead turned to stare at the field of spirit herbs, murmuring with a look of disbelief. “It is extremely rare for variant spirit herbs to appear but so many has appeared here at once! And there are also advanced spirit herbs!”
He was wholly agitated, variant spirit herbs are precious not because of its effectiveness that was comparable to high-level spirit herbs but because they naturally came with a blending attribute and could blend other medicinal properties that could directly increase the success rate of refining pills by 10% whereas advanced spirit herbs could boost the effectiveness of elixirs and could be directly refined into supreme-grade elixirs.
“All these… who grew them?” As a Soul Formation Supremacy, even Tian Yi was finding it hard to conceal his inner agitation and quickly asked.
“It’s these two disciples.” The Sect Master pointed to Lonemoon and Zuo Shuming at the side.
Tian Yi turned and glanced at them both, his eyes fixed onto Zuo Shuming whose cultivation was of a slightly higher level as a hint of doubt flashed across his face. This disciple looked slightly familiar but he temporarily could not recall when he had seen him. He directly spoke up to snatch them up. “Good good good, from today onwards, you both can join my Dan Xia Mountain!” They grew variant spirit herbs once, who knows they might be able to do it again.
Once his words fell, the Sect Master did not say anything but Shu Yi panicked even more. “No way!” If Zuo Shuming went to Dan Xia Mountain, then everything that she had done previously would have been in vain.
“Little Yi is here too!” Tian Yi glanced at her. “Why not?”
“Because…” Shu Yi paled, her eyes shifted around before she replied, “Because… because earlier on sect master already ordered them to join the main peak.” Regardless, she absolutely could not allow Zuo Shuming to join Dan Xia Mountain.
“Oh! Really?” Tian Yi turned towards the Sect Master.
The Sect Master faltered for a moment, how would he dare to snatch with the Uncle-Master, but it had already come to this, he could only bite the bullet and nodded.
