Chapter 193: Is There Sect Permission?
This made the disciple from Juhufeng look slightly disdainful.
He came here today representing the authority of his elder, and since there was no steward to receive him, it was even more frustrating to find that he was being attended to by a mere disciple in the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment.
This was clearly looking down on them from Juhufeng!
Though he felt unhappy in his heart, he remembered that he needed something from here, so the Juhufeng disciple quickly flashed a smile and cupped his fists, saying,
"I’m Cai Ming, Junior Brother. The elders in our peak have been busy with alchemy lately, so I was sent to retrieve a few High-level Spiritual Plants. I hope you can help me so I can report back early."
"Here are the High-level Spiritual Plants that the elder required; please look them over."
After speaking, the Juhufeng disciple handed over the list of spiritual plants with one hand.
Although his words sounded polite, there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
Usually, when coming to collect spiritual plants, he would have a steward send a disciple with him, but since the person was an unfamiliar Ji Yang, he simply expected Ji Yang to fetch them for him, believing Ji Yang would not dare refuse.
Cai Ming then stood proudly, waiting.
Seeing Ji Yang take the list, a trace of a mocking smile crossed Cai Ming’s face.
Just that!
Ji Yang glanced quickly at the list he received.
In his heart, he scoffed coldly.
The list mentioned several High-level Spiritual Plants that were still in the Maturity Phase.
While these spiritual plants were available in the spiritual herb garden, Ji Yang had already regarded those High-level Spiritual Plants as his own possession.
No, they were not just his possessions; they were his unmissable path to greatness. How could he allow others to take them?
Moreover, the authority over the spiritual herb garden lay entirely in his hands. If he allowed others to take them now, he might as well not live anymore.
Though he was already inclined to refuse, Ji Yang did not show it on his face; he merely smiled and said,
"That’s easy enough, but where is your sect permission, Senior Brother?"
To take spiritual plants from the spiritual herb garden, one could not simply rely on words.
It might have been acceptable in the past, but not now!
"Sect permission?"
Hearing this, Cai Ming was taken aback for a moment before quickly realizing what Ji Yang meant, smiling as he replied,
"Junior Brother, you must be joking. We don’t need that on ordinary days."
Ji Yang’s expression changed immediately, and he said sternly,
"Without sect permission, no one is allowed to take anything from the spiritual herb garden. That is the rule of the sect. Please return, Senior Brother!"
Cai Ming’s smile gradually faded, and his fists clenched tighter.
He could see that this kid was clearly trying to make things difficult for him. He had come to the spiritual herb garden so many times and had never encountered a steward who asked for sect permission!
Moreover, even the steward of the spiritual herb garden wouldn’t treat him like this!
But thinking of the task given to him by his elder, Cai Ming forced a smile and said:
“I am Liao Huayuan, representing Juhufeng and Elder Liao. I hope you can be lenient with me, Junior Brother…”
Before he could finish, Ji Yang raised his hand and interrupted him, saying,
“Don’t mention Elder Liao; without sect permission, not even the Sect Master can!”
“You!”
Looking at Ji Yang’s opportunistic demeanor, Cai Ming felt a surge of anger, and his head started to spin. He couldn’t understand why the spiritual herb garden would send such a stubborn young man.
“I want to see Steward Fan!”
Cai Ming quickly realized he could no longer expect to obtain the spiritual plants from Ji Yang.
“Sorry, but Steward Fan isn’t here at the moment. This place is entirely under the disciple’s responsibility.”
Cai Ming’s fingers trembled, but he couldn’t find the words. Finally, anger took over, and he waved his sleeves as he left, shouting,
“Just you wait!”
Seeing Cai Ming storm off in frustration, a faint smile appeared on Ji Yang’s lips.
This feeling of winning without a fight was truly satisfying; it was different from defeating enemies with sword energy.
It’s no wonder so many disciples in the sect wish to secure a future, even with just a tiny bit of insignificant resources, as it allows them to wield power to its fullest.
After Cai Ming left, a flame suddenly appeared in Ji Yang’s hand, turning the list of spiritual plants to ashes.
If he wanted to take his spiritual plants, wasn’t that asking for his life?
Dream on!
The guard disciples watching this quickly withdrew their gazes, no longer wanting to look.
At that moment, they felt astonished, but since Steward Fan had already given orders, these matters were beyond their control.
As disciples responsible for guarding the spiritual herb garden, they were also quite well-informed, knowing that Ji Yang was not an ordinary person. Did they not see how Elder Yan had laughed and spoken with this Junior Brother, treating him with great respect?
“If anyone else comes to pick spiritual herbs, they must notify Junior Brother first. Please let this matter be known to you, Senior Brothers.”
At this moment, Ji Yang looked at the other guard disciples and spoke in a stern tone.
Though these disciples seemed to have higher cultivation levels than Ji Yang, they stood straighter upon hearing his words and nodded in agreement.
That instant’s pressure felt stronger than that of Steward Fan, rivaling even that of other elders.
After giving his instructions, Ji Yang returned to the spiritual herb garden with ease, planning to check on his spiritual plants and take care of a few Top-tier Spiritual Plants.
If the blue cultivation points were spread across many High-level Spiritual Plants, then the even higher-tier Light points could only be derived from those Top-tier Spiritual Plants.
Since time was limited, Ji Yang wanted to see if he could acquire new divine abilities within this short period.
He was quite satisfied with the various divine abilities contributed by the purple Light points.
If there was hope now, he naturally wished to gain another ten or eight.
In terms of divine abilities, he could never have too many.
Though Steward Fan was not present, the spiritual herb garden was still orderly, just like usual.
The assessments for some Punished Disciples were all accumulated at the end of the month, and many disciples from Qiyun Peak each performed their duties without Ji Yang needing to oversee them too closely.
The biggest issue for the spiritual herb garden was merely damage to spiritual plants or losses caused by improper cultivation.
But Ji Yang had no need to worry about that at all.
This made Ji Yang wonder why he hadn’t discovered such a good position earlier.
The next day, Ji Yang strolled into the High-Level Spirit Plant Area leisurely.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Ji.”
“Hello, Senior Brother Ji!”
…
Many disciples greeted him one after another.
Yesterday, Steward Fan had already informed them that for the next few days, Ji Yang would be in charge of everything in the spiritual herb garden, and any issues should be brought to Ji Yang.
The numerous disciples understood the reasoning behind this, especially after seeing Ji Yang’s performance the other day.
He was a talented disciple who could revitalize many spiritual plants with just a wave of his hand.
Naturally, everyone wanted to be on good terms with him.
Responding to the greetings, Ji Yang smiled and nodded, maintaining a friendly demeanor while carefully inspecting the growth of each spiritual plant.
Seeing Ji Yang not only being amiable but also serious about caring for the spiritual plants made many disciples unable to help but express their admiration.
