Chapter 195: The Threshold for High-level Spiritual Plants
One can endure, but what can’t one endure?
Cai Ming roared, and his aura surged, clearly showing his Late Golden Core stage.
The guard disciples around him shouted in anger:
“Cai Ming, this is an important place for the sect! Do you dare to fight openly here?”
By this point, Cai Ming had been blinded by rage; Ji Yang’s repeated difficulties made it impossible for him to swallow his anger!
Today, he wanted to show this disciple, who was only at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment, a lesson.
Seeing this, Ji Yang sighed slightly, shaking his head:
“Senior Brother, I’m just following sect rules and not trying to make things difficult for you.”
“Damn your sect rules!”
Cai Ming’s fury ignited at the mention of sect rules. Just as he was about to attack Ji Yang, he suddenly sensed two winds rushing from behind, accompanied by a cold voice:
“Stop! In this important place for the sect, who dares to fight?”
When Cai Ming turned around, he saw three law enforcement hall disciples had arrived.
Upon seeing the law enforcement hall disciples, Cai Ming’s rising anger gradually subsided.
Though he wanted to lash out, the law enforcement hall was right there; if he acted, he would surely be punished.
He had heard that the places for punishment in the sect were very severe—many disciples turned pale at the thought of them—he didn’t want to end up in those places.
As for the spiritual herb garden, he definitely didn’t want to be punished here; would that not mean suffering under Ji Yang?
After a quick thought, Cai Ming gradually calmed down, though his expression remained gloomy.
“Brother, you came just in time. This person wants to commit violence in the spiritual herb garden; I ask you to be fair to me.”
Before Cai Ming could speak, Ji Yang had already clasped his hands and said,
“You’re talking nonsense; it’s clearly you who is making things difficult for me under the guise of sect rules!”
Hearing Ji Yang’s words, Cai Ming scolded back,
“Hmph! No matter the reason, the spiritual herb garden is a sacred place; how can you take action here? If there is a next time, you will be severely punished.”
The law enforcement hall disciples who arrived paid no mind to the conflict between the two, simply scolding Cai Ming.
Before a fight began, they did not need to know the reason; they just needed to intervene.
If a fight broke out, they would handle it according to sect rules.
Given the warning, Cai Ming stopped lingering, coldly saying to Ji Yang:
“Hmph! We shall see!”
Ji Yang smiled:
“Senior Brother, take care. Next time you come to collect spiritual plants, remember to bring proof from the elder.”
Upon hearing this, Cai Ming quickened his pace, worried that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to resist tearing Ji Yang apart.
Seeing Cai Ming leave, the law enforcement hall disciples did not stop him and continued their patrol, and the leading law enforcement hall cultivator remembered to smile kindly at Ji Yang as they departed.
In the spiritual herb garden, as a key place for the sect, law enforcement hall disciples often patrol.
After all, the law enforcement hall disciples are also disciples of the sect. Many disciples may spend their contribution points here to exchange for spiritual plants. Even though a few didn’t know Ji Yang, building a good relationship is always advantageous; who knows when they might need help later.
Seeing that he had successfully protected his spiritual plants again, Ji Yang smiled and turned back to the spiritual herb garden to continue taking care of his few top-tier spiritual plants.
…
Inside an Alchemy Room on Juhufeng, Cai Ming displayed a hesitant expression.
However, thinking of Ji Yang’s ugly face, Cai Ming no longer hesitated and sent a messaging talisman towards the Alchemy Room:
“Elder Liao, disciple Cai Ming requests an audience.”
“Come in!”
“Reporting to the Elder, the disciple has failed in his task and was unable to obtain the spiritual plants!”
“Hmm?”
Facing the Elder’s inquiry, Cai Ming began to lament:
“That Ji Yang who watches over the spiritual herb garden—he not only slandered you, Elder, but also used his sect responsibilities to intentionally make things difficult for the disciples. He said…”
After a moment, a cold snort came from the Alchemy Room:
“Is this really true?”
“I swear with my Heart Demon that everything I say is true!”
“Alright, I understand. I have some important pills to refine over the next couple of days. I will meet with the person you mentioned.”
Hearing the Elder’s words filled with suppressed dissatisfaction, Cai Ming couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
Hmph, let’s see how you deal with this!
Once the Elder takes action, it won’t be simple!
…
In the spiritual herb garden, Ji Yang quietly observed the Purple-Backed Tian Kui in front of him.
Compared to the other spiritual plants, this one was obviously maturing faster.
Under Ji Yang’s careful care, it had already begun to sprout a few flower buds.
Flower buds are the first step in a spiritual plant blooming and a sign of it nearing maturity.
When the flowers bloom, the plant will be fully matured, and its effectiveness will reach its peak.
If no one picks it, after the flowering period, the medicinal power will return to the spiritual plant, thus reducing its effectiveness—unless the whole spiritual plant is directly used for medicine, which goes against the sect’s sustainable development.
Ji Yang wasn’t concerned about that; he was only focused on whether this spiritual plant could bring him the desired Light Points upon maturity.
This made Ji Yang take extra care of this spiritual plant, hoping it would bloom before he left.
Then Ji Yang tended to the other spiritual plants; the White Moon Xuanjin, which was once on the brink of death, now radiated vitality, and the other spiritual plants grew in an orderly manner—everything was fine.
At this moment, in the High-Level Spirit Plant Area of the spiritual herb garden, a disciple caring for his spiritual plant suddenly looked around.
Seeing no one was paying attention to him, the disciple immediately opened a small green bottle hidden in his hand.
The green bottle was empty, but the disciple remained calm. After removing the bottle stopper, he quickly wandered around the High-Level Spirit Plant Area before hurriedly putting the green bottle away.
Then, he pretended nothing had happened and continued tending to his spiritual plant.
…
Cultivation Level +1
Cultivation Level +1
Cultivation Level +1
In the following two days, Ji Yang lived a meticulously organized life.
In the morning, after collecting the cultivation points from several top-tier spiritual plants, he rushed to the High-Level Spirit Plant Area to harvest Light Points.
The daily harvest varied greatly, but overall, the cultivation points collected each day remained around twenty.
Over these two days of harvesting, Ji Yang also discovered some mysteries.
For instance, a mature high-level spiritual plant often contributes several Blue Light Points; after that, the quality of the Light Points decreases.
This meant that even high-level spiritual plants cannot endlessly supply cultivation points; each high-level spiritual plant has a threshold.
Once that threshold is surpassed, he could only harvest lower-level Light Points.
However, top-tier spiritual plants do not have this threshold—at least not now, as evidenced by the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower from Jingtan Peak.
This discovery shattered Ji Yang’s previous plan; he had initially thought he could acquire enough high-level spiritual plants and then quietly wait for the right moment to ascend!
Now it seemed that was far from sufficient.
If he could exchange all high-level spiritual plants for top-tier spiritual plants, his cultivation points wouldn’t be much of an issue.
But even in He Dao Sect, there were only a few top-tier spiritual plants, making it clear how difficult it would be to collect enough.
