Chapter 206: Something Strange
"Once this Blood Spirit Flower fully blooms, it will provide more spiritual energy, which the Corpse Mushroom will then absorb. As the Corpse Mushroom receives more spiritual energy, it will give even more back to the Blood Spirit Flower, allowing both to grow quickly."
Ji Yang listened and tried to sort out the logic behind it.
Then, pondering thoughtfully, he realized it resembled how he had increased his cultivation level through mining without needing to sleep; both methods effectively achieved their goals in different ways.
Ji Yang shook off his thoughts and decided not to think too much.
At least this time, he hadn’t planted the spiritual plants on a cultivator’s head, which was a good thing.
With that thought, Ji Yang smiled and nodded:
"Not bad, very creative."
"I have high hopes for you!"
Feeling shy at Ji Yang’s praise, Tian Zhu smiled bashfully:
"Everything is thanks to Senior Brother Ji’s wise guidance."
"By the way, Senior Brother Ji, I seem to have stopped hearing the breath of the Corpse Mushroom over these past few days. Could you help me check what it’s been saying?"
Ji Yang felt somewhat speechless. Without any divine powers, the spiritual plants themselves had not developed spirit intelligence.
How could he hear its ‘breath’?
Before, its breathing was evident even without listening.
But Ji Yang still nodded in agreement and did not refuse Tian Zhu’s small request.
In the next moment, Ji Yang activated his divine powers and connected with the consciousness of the Corpse Mushroom.
As soon as he connected, a barrage of angry insults filled his ears.
Corpse Mushroom: "*Do you even know how to grow me?*"
Corpse Mushroom: "You beast! Farting all day, it stinks like hell!"
Corpse Mushroom: "You *…"
…
Then, there was another round of harsh sounds that were censored.
“Senior Brother Ji, what is it saying? Did it praise my growing methods?”
Seeing Tian Zhu’s eager expression, Ji Yang couldn’t bear to tell him the truth, so he just nodded:
"Yes, it thinks your ideas are quite good."
The vitality of the Corpse Mushroom was proof enough.
Tian Zhu’s face instantly brightened at Ji Yang’s affirmation, and he said:
"I’ll go back and put a few spiritual stones down so it can absorb spiritual energy even faster."
Seeing Tian Zhu so eager for the spiritual plant to grow, Ji Yang shook his head, deciding to lend a hand to this diligent junior brother.
Ji Yang connected with the Corpse Mushroom, activating his divine powers, and in an instant, countless strands of spiritual energy were drawn to it and absorbed.
Nourished by the spiritual energy, the Corpse Mushroom instantly grew significantly larger, which thrilled Tian Zhu, making him think the Corpse Mushroom had heard his words and was now repaying him double.
Seeing the delighted Tian Zhu leave, Ji Yang didn’t manage his time any further.
He continued to tend to his few Top-tier Spiritual Plants in the spiritual herb garden.
Recently, he had heard the Purple-Backed Tian Kui constantly mentioning that it was about to bloom, but he didn’t know if it was just fooling itself or him.
…
Cultivation +1
Cultivation +1
Spirit +1
Physique +1
…
The next day, after collecting the Light points, Ji Yang sighed.
The harvest was getting worse and worse.
Recently, the High-Level Spirit Plant Area has only contributed about ten cultivation points each day. If not for those five Top-tier Spiritual Plants holding up the yield, it would have been almost worthless.
After finishing the harvest, before Ji Yang could use the Large Cloud Rain Technique, dozens of dark clouds gathered in the sky.
Under these dark clouds, countless excited disciples looked on.
Despite it being a mere beginner spell, they practiced with great seriousness.
"Senior Brother Ji, Senior Brother Ji, how do you think I’m doing with this Small Rain Technique?"
"Senior Brother Ji, come look at mine; it’s really big!"
"Senior Brother Ji, my clouds are colorful! Does that have any special effects?"
…
Ji Yang quickly responded to the disciples and then headed toward the pavilion outside the spiritual herb garden.
He wondered why, over the past few days, no elders came to the spiritual herb garden to ask for spiritual plants.
Even the visiting disciples had decreased significantly; perhaps his reputation had spread.
It was better that they didn’t come, saving Ji Yang the trouble of coming up with various excuses to inconvenience them.
However, the prolonged absence of Elder Yan and Steward Fan left Ji Yang puzzled.
Maybe something unexpected happened; in that case, he would begrudgingly carve a stone tablet for the two.
After all, they could be considered senior brothers.
But after searching high and low, Ji Yang couldn’t find a suitable stone and had to give up.
While looking for stone, Ji Yang paused slightly, a strange expression appearing on his face.
He couldn’t tell if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the spiritual energy in the spiritual herb garden seemed to be gathering toward a particular direction.
However, the speed was slow and not much different from usual.
This made Ji Yang think it might be due to the spirit gathering formation.
After all, the spiritual herb garden itself has a large spirit gathering formation, so the flow of spiritual energy inside is very normal.
Denglong Peak.
Two disciples are chatting.
“Senior Brother, have you noticed that the spiritual energy in the peak seems a bit low recently?”
The person across from him looked puzzled and replied, “Really? I didn’t sense anything at all.”
“Gong Shidi, have you been overdoing your training, making your senses dull?”
The one called Gong Shidi shook his head and said, “No, Senior Brother, you know I have a Spiritual Sense Body. Although this physique is not particularly useful for combat, I have a unique talent for sensing spiritual energy.”
“You’re worrying too much. This is the He Dao Sect’s Denglong Peak, where the spiritual energy is among the highest in the sect. Even if there’s a bit less energy, it’s not a big deal. Perhaps one of the senior brothers broke through, causing a fluctuation in the spiritual energy. You don’t need to mind it; just focus on your training.”
“That’s true, but…”
“I just feel something isn’t right. This is different from the situation when other senior brothers broke through…”
Gong Shidi murmured to himself, then looked up to find that his senior brother had vanished.
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, where did you go?”
“I have a junior sister from Wangxia Peak who asked me to cultivate with her at Wangyue Slope. I’ll be back later!”
Watching his departing senior brother, Gong Shidi could only shake his head helplessly and then no longer concern himself with it.
…
“Boom!”
On Qiyun Peak, a loud explosion sounded from the peak’s summit.
Numerous disciples turned their eyes toward the source of the explosion, then quietly returned their gazes.
That place was the elders’ residence. Though Alchemy Room explosions were rare, they weren’t unheard of.
“Very strange!”
“Normally, everything is fine during alchemy. What went wrong this time?”
“How could it have exploded?”
Inside the Alchemy Room, an elder looked at the overturned furnace in front of him, puzzled.
His technique, materials, and heat control were all perfect, just like usual.
But today, several batches of pills either exploded or couldn’t be formed.
This made him doubt his own skills. Could it be that he hadn’t practiced alchemy for two nights, causing his skills to decline?
…
“Senior Brother, have you noticed that the spiritual energy in the spiritual herb garden seems to have increased a bit?”
“Of course! The spiritual herb garden is a special place. How could there be enough spiritual energy for the growth of spiritual plants without a bit more?”
“No, that’s not what I mean.”
“What does that junior brother mean?”
“He doesn’t mean anything.”
“Ha, if the junior brother says that, it becomes meaningless!”
…
