Chapter 188: Power in Hand
After a little recovery of his magical energy, Ji Yang habitually performed the Small Rain Technique.
It didn’t matter what kind of spiritual plant it was; a little watering was always beneficial.
Moreover, Ji Yang noticed that this spiritual plant was not averse to water.
In his leisure time, Ji Yang randomly found a place to lie down.
The Feather Transformation Ascension Skill rapidly circulated within him, and wisps of ethereal white feathers floated from his body, quickly disappearing after leaving him.
The Huang Ting Dao Jing continuously operated, and his primordial spirit energy slowly increased. Although the growth rate was not as fast as the Light points, he was diligently cultivating all the time.
Even though he wasn’t actively participating, it still counted as his progress.
He had recently nearly grasped the Supreme Sword Energy.
Though it was not a True Immortal technique, it was also extremely powerful; this technique contained only a killing sword intent and nothing else, making it quite pure.
Ji Yang originally intended to find the weaknesses in this technique to prepare for defeating Ye Wuchen in the future.
As he flipped through the pages, he felt quite confident. Although this technique was formidable, it couldn’t compare to his Feather Transformation Ascension Skill.
But when Ji Yang reached the last page and saw that this technique was signed by Ye Wuchen, he felt extremely frustrated.
It turned out the Supreme Sword Energy was created by Ye Wuchen.
This also made Ji Yang even more curious about Ye Wuchen’s strength.
To dominate a peak and instill fear in many elders of the sect while facing a True Dragon alone was not something an ordinary Peak Master could accomplish.
Curiosity was one part of him, but what worried Ji Yang more was Ye Wuchen’s current state.
Originally a top genius, he now seemed to be wallowing in despair, leading Ji Yang to doubt whether Ye Wuchen had suffered some sort of setback.
As a candidate cursed by Heaven, perhaps the calamities he would face in the future would be even stronger, leaving Ji Yang uncertain whether his small frame could withstand it.
Having barely reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Ji Yang naturally wanted to take a look at the higher levels.
But thinking of his diligent training and how he had risen to the Nascent Soul Realm in such a short time filled Ji Yang’s eyes with hope.
As the saying goes, the waves of the Yangtze River push the previous waves! Each wave surpassing the last!
These minor calamities, he could simply brush aside with a wave of his hand!
At this moment, Ji Yang opened his attribute panel:
【Name: Ji Yang】
【Age: 19】
【Realm: Early Stage of Yuan Ying】
【Techniques: Feather Transformation Ascension Skill, Huang Ting Dao Jing】
【Powers: Heart Sword, Sword Cultivation, Breathing Technique of All Things, Soldiers from Beans, Thousands of Sword Energies, Feather Transformation】
【Cultivation Level: 62/999】
【Unavailable】
【Status: Talent Jealousy】
【Status: Heavenly Punishment】
Since leaving the mine, Ji Yang had experienced a slow increase in cultivation points over the past few days. His body and primordial spirit had strengthened, but his realm had not risen.
If he could gain control over the spiritual herb garden, the acquisition of cultivation points would likely speed up significantly.
With everything in the status bar in order, Ji Yang finally sighed in relief; if the spiritual herb garden were to collapse, he would have nothing to say.
After checking that his condition was fine, Ji Yang began to cultivate the Thousands of Sword Energies.
He intended to incorporate the Supreme Sword Energy he had learned earlier to enhance the sword energy’s power.
At night, Ji Yang once again used his powers on the "White Moon Xuanjin."
Its recovery rate was quite rapid; it stood elegantly and beautifully.
The next day, just as Ji Yang finished his training, he sensed some commotion outside the formation.
Ji Yang opened the formation, and Elder Yan hurriedly walked in, clearly having waited a long time to check on the status of the "White Moon Xuanjin."
Ji Yang did not stop him and turned his gaze to the spiritual plant nestled in the stone crevices.
After Ji Yang’s day-and-night effort the previous day, this spiritual plant finally began to radiate a brilliant glow, surpassing its former state when nurtured in the Spirit Spring.
Above the spiritual plant, a flickering blue Light point stood still, capturing Ji Yang’s attention.
Very good.
Ji Yang nodded in satisfaction.
Even though it was a top-tier spiritual plant, it would not provide purple and golden Light points unless it reached a mature stage.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Watching the state of the spiritual plant, Elder Yan couldn’t help but praise repeatedly and even leaned closer to observe it carefully.
After his observations, Elder Yan confirmed that the spiritual plant had indeed revived, and it looked quite well.
He then turned his gaze to Ji Yang, his smile growing even more amiable:
"Ji Yang, you have made a great contribution to my spiritual herb garden. Although there is no sect reward, this place is under my jurisdiction. If you want any rewards, just say the word, and I will not be stingy."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang put away his smile and showed a hint of righteousness:
"As a disciple of the sect, especially now that I am being punished in the spiritual herb garden, this is merely a small effort. Elder Yan, please do not mention rewards!"
"However, I am quite interested in other spiritual plants. If Elder Yan doesn’t mind, I would like to take care of other high-level spiritual plants as part of my punishment here over the next two months."
Elder Yan pondered for a moment and understood Ji Yang’s underlying implication. He chuckled lightly, saying no more, and tossed Ji Yang another token.
At first glance, this token looked similar to the previous one, but it was much more finely crafted, made from extraordinary materials and felt smooth to the touch. What pleased Ji Yang the most was Elder Yan’s subsequent words:
"This token is the formation token for the top-tier spiritual plants in the spiritual herb garden. Although there are other disciples to assist, their skills are quite clumsy, making it difficult for them to handle this responsibility. Why not give this task to you, Ji Yang?"
Ji Yang smiled:
"I will do my best."
"Perfect. I need to go out to gather materials today and won’t return for a few days. With you here, I can rest assured."
"I have already notified Steward Fan. If you have any questions later, you can ask him."
"Thank you, Elder."
The current situation made Ji Yang very satisfied.
He had strategically retreated to advance, not stating his desires directly, but his words were quite clear. He also emphasized high-level spiritual plants, a promise Elder Yan had already made the previous day.
Moreover, Ji Yang had now proven his capability, so Elder Yan certainly had to show some appreciation.
While it seemed like he was given significant power, Ji Yang wouldn’t be able to take the spiritual plants away from here. With Ji Yang’s planting skills, there was no need to worry about other matters.
However, Ji Yang didn’t care about the spiritual plants themselves; being allowed to care for them was the greatest benefit.
"You might gain something, but I will never lose!
This is a win-win situation; why not go for it?"
Feeling reassured, Elder Yan did not linger any longer and hurriedly left the spiritual herb garden, clearly having urgent matters to attend to.
But Ji Yang did not mind; his goals had already been met, and he held the power in his hands.
The spiritual herb garden was due for a new master!
"Steward Fan, let the other disciples continue their work. I will occasionally check on some high-level spiritual plants, but my main focus should still be on those top-tier spiritual plants."
