Chapter 185: Shengquan Peak
“Where is Tian Zhu? Why are you the only one here?”
Steward Fan surveyed the area with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“I don’t know.”
Ji Yang shook his head.
Steward Fan was about to scold him when an elder beside him exclaimed in surprise,
“Ji Yang?”
“Elder Yan?”
Ji Yang turned to look at this elder, both of them wearing expressions of astonishment.
This Elder Yan was not the same Elder Yan from the mine; he was the elder who had recently gone to Jingtan Peak to ask Ji Yang for the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower seed.
Ji Yang knew this elder belonged to Qiyun Peak, but he didn’t expect him to also oversee the spiritual herb garden.
Seeing Ji Yang and the elder recognized each other, Steward Fan felt a chill; had he spoken too loudly?
“I wondered why Elder Liu took special care; it turns out it’s Ji Yang from Jingtan Peak. How has Peak Master Ye been lately?”
After confirming Ji Yang’s identity, Elder Yan stroked his beard and smiled.
“My master is well, but he has been traveling recently.”
“Let’s go, Ji Yang; let’s talk somewhere else.”
At that moment, Elder Yan appeared particularly warm and welcoming.
This made Steward Fan even more uneasy.
On one hand was Elder Liu’s instructions, and on the other was Ji Yang’s strong connections; he chose to step aside.
He would leave the rest to Elder Yan and let him handle it.
Ji Yang felt somewhat puzzled; they had only met once, yet this Elder Yan was overly enthusiastic.
However, Ji Yang did not refuse, as he thought of a better way to act within the spiritual herb garden.
Once the two left, Steward Fan stood there in a daze.
But when Steward Fan noticed the seedlings sprouting in the spiritual field, he leaned in closer to take a look.
As a steward of the spiritual herb garden, Steward Fan was certainly knowledgeable about spiritual plant cultivation.
He initially thought Ji Yang was passing off other spiritual plants, trying to fool his way through.
But after examining them carefully, a look of disbelief appeared on his face:
“This is Xiaoxiang Leaf?”
“How is that possible?”
“How did it sprout?”
“Why hasn’t the Fire Spirit Ear died after being watered?”
“The Illusion Bud just grew in the soil like this?”
At this moment, Steward Fan displayed the same puzzled expression as Tian Zhu.
As a steward, he prided himself on his knowledge of cultivating spiritual plants.
However, the more he knew, the greater the shock he felt at the current scene.
Spiritual plants that should not be able to grow here suddenly emerged.
This made Steward Fan question himself and struggle to accept what he saw.
After a long while, Steward Fan’s expression gradually returned to normal.
This matter must be reported to Elder Yan.
…
In a luxurious pavilion beside the spiritual herb garden,
Elder Yan sat facing Ji Yang.
After a pleasant and harmonious conversation, Elder Yan exclaimed in surprise:
“You want to help take care of the spiritual plants?”
Ji Yang nodded:
“Yes, Elder Yan knows that although I have exceptional talent and my master has high hopes for me, I have some interest in cultivating spiritual plants. Since I am here to face punishment, I wish to do my part.”
Elder Yan showed his approval:
“Very well, Ji Yang; I will definitely meet this request. Here is the formation token for the spiritual herb garden. With this token, you can freely access the High-Level Spirit Plant Area!”
Saying this, Elder Yan handed over a special token for the spiritual herb garden.
Ji Yang accepted it with joy in his heart.
High-level spiritual plants were quite valuable.
But the next moment, Elder Yan rubbed his hands and displayed a gentle smile:
“Well, Ji Yang, I also have a modest request.”
“Please, Elder Yan, speak.”
“There is a plant called ‘White Moon Xuanjin’ in our spiritual herb garden that has been declining in vitality for some unknown reason. I wonder if you have any way to save it?”
Ji Yang pondered for a moment upon hearing this.
The fact that even this elder, who was skilled in spiritual plants, could not find the cause showed how difficult the situation was.
But looking at the token in his hand, Ji Yang replied,
“I cannot guarantee success, but I will do my best.”
Upon hearing these words, Elder Yan’s face lit up with joy as he immediately said,
“Very well; your words are enough for me. Whether or not it can be saved depends on fate.”
In truth, Elder Yan had little confidence, but recalling how the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower could grow in the soil, he thought perhaps Ji Yang had a special way after all.
Moreover, since the ‘White Moon Xuanjin’ could not last much longer, they could only try their luck.
“Since that is the case, Ji Yang, let’s head to Shengquan Peak right away. I have temporarily placed the ‘White Moon Xuanjin’ there.”
Ji Yang nodded.
Shengquan Peak?
He was curious to see it.
Just as they were about to set off, Steward Fan hurriedly rushed in:
“Elder, Elder!”
Seeing Steward Fan’s anxious expression, Elder Yan replied with slight displeasure:
“What is the matter that you are so flustered?”
“It wouldn’t be too late for me to help Ji Yang save the ‘White Moon Xuanjin’!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Yan took Ji Yang and flew outside, leaving Steward Fan confused behind.
What did Elder Yan just say?
Save the ‘White Moon Xuanjin’?
But had he not declared that spiritual plant dead when he returned?
Bringing Ji Yang along? Could it be?
Steward Fan shook his head again; it was not possible. If the elder couldn’t save it, how could Ji Yang, an inner disciple, do so?
However, recalling what he had just seen made Steward Fan feel a twinge of doubt.
…
Elder Yan was anxious, and they quickly arrived at Shengquan Peak.
Shengquan Peak was one of the Twelve Peaks of the He Dao Sect.
Among the Twelve Peaks, it was one of the more renowned ones, mainly because of its spirit spring.
It is said that this spring has rich spiritual energy, which can restore the internal energy of cultivators during battles! Bathing in it can enhance physical strength!
However, most disciples of the peak were not wealthy enough for such luxury.
It was said that each year Shengquan Peak held competitions, and only those who ranked at the top had the chance to bathe in the spirit spring.
Moreover, the spirit spring had many uses, making it a great choice for watering spiritual plants as well.
But this was even more extravagant than bathing.
After arriving at Shengquan Peak, Elder Yan quickly moved toward the peak, and those along the way respectfully nodded:
It was clear that Elder Yan came often and had a good relationship with Shengquan Peak.
This was only natural.
As a master alchemist in charge of the spiritual herb garden, apart from Jingtan Peak, other disciples in the sect wanted to befriend him.
Elder Yan was quite popular, just like Elder Chai in the sect.
However, when the disciples of Shengquan Peak saw an unfamiliar disciple following Elder Yan, they looked puzzled.
An Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment disciple, and not from Shengquan Peak.
Many disciples cast surprised glances at Ji Yang but did not dare to ask further.
Soon, they passed through several barriers and arrived at a place surrounded by formations.
As Elder Yan arrived, someone quickly opened the formation from inside, and an elder from Shengquan Peak walked out:
“Elder Yan, why are you back so soon?”
The person who came out asked in surprise.
