Chapter 170: Conspiracy
Little Black’s mouth hung open for a long time, unable to close.
He could manage a few acres of the spiritual field before, but now it had expanded several times to cover an entire peak’s worth of spiritual fields.
How could he possibly take on such a task?
Little Black ground his teeth until sparks flew.
Realizing he was no match for Ji Yang, Little Black held back once more.
Sensing the two beasts’ emotions had not calmed, Ji Yang thought for a moment, and his eyes brightened.
He then took out a spiritual plant from the Heaven’s Secret Pearl.
Once the spiritual plant was retrieved, a peculiar aroma began to emanate from it.
This was a black lotus.
The two beasts’ gazes were instantly drawn to the lotus flower.
The Black Leaf Lotus was what Ji Yang had caught using the causal fishing rod earlier, and it had body-refining properties.
As a Top-tier Spiritual Plant, its body-refining effects should be quite good, but Ji Yang didn’t need it for himself.
Now, it was just right to reward the two beasts, to avoid them refusing to work.
“I plan to go out today. When I return, whoever has done a better job will receive this Black Leaf Lotus. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, the two beasts nodded continuously, their earlier anger gradually fading under the lotus’s aroma.
As a Top-tier Spiritual Plant, it held enough allure for them, who were still not very strong.
Seeing that the two beasts had calmed down, Ji Yang nodded.
Using both rewards and authority was the way to tame beasts.
Once he had settled the two beasts, Ji Yang turned his gaze to the Golden Valiant Warrior nearby, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Although he had infused a decent amount of magical power into this Battle Soldier, and it was also made from supreme spiritual grains, he hadn’t expected it to sustain itself for so long.
Perhaps it was also due to the middle-aged man himself.
“Your words last night were like a refreshing insight, and I benefited greatly. I have decided to go out to train today. Are you planning to stay here?” Ji Yang asked.
Hearing Ji Yang, the Golden Valiant Warrior’s eyes turned blank.
If it weren’t for Ji Yang’s loud snoring afterward, he would have believed it.
However, knowing Ji Yang was going out to train brought some comfort to the middle-aged man, at least what he said last night had some effect.
“I will stay here; you can ask that magic mirror if you have questions, and it will answer you.”
Ji Yang smiled inwardly, not arguing.
The middle-aged man’s main soul was still in the mirror, so of course, there would be a response.
Moreover, this was just a remnant soul, unable to leave the He Dao Sect, so he didn’t need to worry.
If he wanted to stay here, then let him stay; it would also watch over the spiritual fields for him. After all, there was nothing of value atop Jingtan Peak anyway.
When Master returns, let him deal with the anger.
After tidying everything up, Ji Yang left Jingtan Peak once again.
Now, without enough Spiritual Plant Seeds, staying on Jingtan Peak would only waste his cultivation time. If he waited for Ye Wuchen to return, it would be even harder. It was better to take this opportunity to spend a few more days mining for resources.
But before that, he needed to go to Jixian Peak to retrieve his new magical weapon. He was curious about how Elder Chai had crafted it.
…
In Feng Ling Valley, in a spiritual field.
A slightly overweight man was busy clearing away the spiritual insects that kept appearing in the spiritual field!
While clearing the spiritual insects, the man suddenly cursed loudly:
“Damn spiritual insects!”
“Ji Yang, I will get back at you for this!”
This man was Elder Li, who had been punished in Feng Ling Valley for a long time. After the last battle, he had been stationed here to guard the spiritual field. Since he was quite powerful, he covered a larger area than other disciples.
Tending to the spiritual field was not difficult for Elder Li, but every time he thought of Ji Yang, his anger surged!
Just when Elder Li was seething with rage, a noise not far away caught his attention, and he focused on the front of the spiritual field, shouting angrily:
“Who’s lurking around?”
A soft laugh came from the spiritual field:
“Hehe, Elder Li, I hope you are doing well.”
Following the laughter, a shadowy figure slowly emerged from the spiritual field.
Seeing the person before him, Elder Li’s eyes filled with alarm, and he glanced around, angrily snapping:
“Damn! It’s you?”
“Elder Li, don’t be alarmed. I’ve used a magical tool to shield this area; even the Xuan Tian Mirror wouldn’t notice unless it looked closely.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Li’s expression calmed slightly, but he still questioned sharply:
“Why do you dare to stay in the sect?”
“I am now a disciple of the He Dao Sect, of course I’m here. Where else would I be?”
“Hmph, I warned you last time. If you remain in the sect, don’t blame me for being ruthless and informing the Law Enforcement Hall!”
“Tsk tsk, Elder Li, please hold your horses. Let me explain my purpose for coming before you decide.”
Elder Li snorted coldly:
“A disciple of the Demon Sect, what is there to discuss?”
“Alas, recently the sect heard that a genius has emerged from the He Dao Sect and issued an order for me to eliminate this person. Once that is done, I will naturally leave the He Dao Sect, and at that time, you won’t need to worry.”
Elder Li frowned slightly:
“Why are you telling me this? We have nothing to do with each other now. Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose this matter?”
The person just smiled:
“Hehe, you know this person, Elder Li.”
“I know him?”
Elder Li looked puzzled.
The figure opposite him reminded:
“Isn’t he the one who got you punished here? This person has Talent Jealousy and progresses in cultivation very quickly. In less than two years, he has already entered the inner sect! He can even fight above his level. Although he possesses Talent Jealousy and faces great tribulations, the sect wants to eliminate him early to avoid future troubles.”
“The sect doesn’t want a second Ye Wuchen!”
After listening to this person’s words, Elder Li understood immediately, grinding his teeth and saying:
“Ji Yang!”
“Exactly, it’s him! I was blind back then! Alas!”
After the anger, Elder Li wiped the expression off his face and said lightly:
“So what? This matter has nothing to do with me. I advise you to leave early; otherwise, you won’t be able to leave!”
“Tsk tsk, are you really sure this has nothing to do with you, Elder Li?”
“Oh, I forgot. You are no longer a steward; I should call you Brother Li Tian.”
“What a pity, you are about to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, but who knows how many more years it will take!”
Seeing the person in front of him reveal his pain, Elder Li clenched his fists:
“What do you want?”
“Let’s be clear, although I have a Special Treasure to conceal myself, I can’t act here! But I still have tasks from the sect to complete. If you are willing to help, that would be the best!”
Elder Li waved his hand:
“Impossible! I won’t agree to this. Killing a fellow disciple is a Severe Crime, and besides, he has the support of Ye Wuchen. If I kill him, I won’t escape either!”
The person opposite sighed:
“Then there’s no other way. I wonder what punishment the He Dao Sect has for colluding with Demon Sect disciples?”
Elder Li looked shocked and angry:
“You’re threatening me!”
“This is just a friendly reminder.”
