Chapter 207: The Strange Mushroom
The He Dao Sect has many cultivators, and although some disciples and elders noticed some oddities, they didn’t take them seriously.
In a big sect, it’s normal to have some unusual events!
It’s nothing to be surprised about!
Night.
The bright moon hangs high.
Ji Yang looked up, seeing the twinkling stars filling his view.
But between his line of sight, there was an invisible layer of threads hidden within.
This is the Protective Formation of the spiritual herb garden, which cannot be seen with the naked eye; only a powerful primordial spirit can perceive the changes within.
Of course, there is another way: to take the risk personally.
But even a Demon Path Spy wouldn’t do that.
Looking at the ‘Purple-Backed Tian Kui’ quietly absorbing the moonlight before him, Ji Yang appeared deep in thought.
Top-tier Spiritual Plants, aside from the necessary spiritual energy, also require factors like moonlight, morning dew, and sunlight for growth.
If only he could transplant these top-tier spiritual plants to Jingtan Peak.
Unfortunately, he could only think about it. If he brought them all back, he worried that Ye Wuchen would meet an early demise.
Just as Ji Yang planned to study his own Techniques, he glanced overhead again.
His eyes showed a hint of suspicion.
Something’s not right; the spiritual energy in the spiritual herb garden seems even more abundant.
Having stayed here for a while now, he quickly determined that the current scene was not due to the effect of the spirit gathering formation.
Ji Yang concentrated his primordial spirit energy and spread it around.
Under the power of his primordial spirit, the surrounding spiritual energy was revealed; these invisible, intangible energies resembled countless threads floating in the air.
These threads were colorful, aligned with the five elements of the world, but essentially, they didn’t differ much.
If the original spiritual energy in the spiritual herb garden occupied only one-fifth of the air, it has now grown to one-half.
The ratio has doubled; this is too abnormal.
Moreover, the density of the spiritual energy is deepening, and its flow seems to be speeding up.
In contrast, the few top-tier spiritual plants he was caring for showed no unusual appearance, indicating that this was not due to the top-tier spiritual plants.
If this were anywhere else, Ji Yang could just laugh it off.
But the spiritual herb garden is his place of cultivation. If there’s a problem, his cultivation points would be wasted, and that would be a matter of life and death.
Could it be that a Demon Path Spy has secretly infiltrated the spiritual herb garden, plotting a new scheme?
Ji Yang thought to himself and suddenly stood up.
Protecting the sect is everyone’s responsibility!
In the next moment, Ji Yang gathered his primordial spirit energy and carefully sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him.
Under Ji Yang’s observation, he noticed that all the spiritual energy was flowing toward one place.
Following the direction of the drifting energy, Ji Yang looked out.
There, it seemed to be the living quarters of the disciples from the spiritual herb garden.
Having found the direction, Ji Yang wasted no time and headed toward the gathering place of the energy.
Before Ji Yang had walked far, a figure rushed toward him, shouting loudly:
“Senior Brother Ji, Senior Brother Ji, come quickly and take a look!”
Seeing Tian Zhu hurriedly approaching him, Ji Yang frowned.
Could it be that he was too late and the situation had already been decided?
But at this point, panicking would not help, and he hadn’t yet seen any impact on his High-Level Spirit Plant Area, so Ji Yang calmly asked:
“What happened?”
As Tian Zhu neared, he showed signs of panic, then nervously glanced at Ji Yang before hesitantly saying:
“Senior Brother Ji, the spiritual plant I grew seems to have some problems.”
“Hmm? What kind of problem? Explain in detail.”
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Zhu finally spoke:
“The Corpse Mushroom has grown a bit and seems to have changed slightly; I’m not sure about it, so I trouble Senior Brother Ji to take a look.”
Hearing the news, Ji Yang felt relieved; it seemed the situation wasn’t as serious as he had feared, and he had been overreacting.
Ji Yang relaxed his expression and said:
“What’s there to hesitate about? Let’s go see.”
He was curious about what changes had occurred with the Corpse Mushroom that Tian Zhu had planted.
The two quickly made their way toward the place where Tian Zhu had planted it.
On the way, Ji Yang suddenly questioned:
“Didn’t you say it doesn’t need to be planted in the ground? Why didn’t you bring it over?”
Tian Zhu nodded:
“Yeah, Senior Brother Ji, but it has grown too large for me to carry.”
“How big could it possibly be?”
Ji Yang said with a smile.
Tian Zhu did not argue and simply continued to lead the way.
Soon, the two arrived at the place where Tian Zhu had planted the spiritual plants.
As a disciple of Qiyun Peak, unlike the other Punished Disciples, Tian Zhu had his own room and a section of the spiritual field approved for the spiritual herb garden.
Although the spiritual field was not of high grade, it was still much better than that of the Punished Disciples.
Even though it was just a small piece of spiritual field, Tian Zhu had surprisingly set up a small protective Formation.
When the Formation opened, the two entered inside.
Ji Yang saw the Corpse Mushroom he had seen before.
However, when Ji Yang looked at the Corpse Mushroom in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise.
What had been just the size of a palm yesterday had now grown to the size of a wooden house in such a short time.
“Senior Brother Ji, after I showed it to you yesterday, I kept it planted here. But when I came to check today, I found it had grown so big,” Tian Zhu explained beside him.
At this moment, Ji Yang was studying the mutated Corpse Mushroom.
After Tian Zhu had previously shown this type of spiritual plant to him, Ji Yang had done some research. Although the Corpse Mushroom was also a spiritual plant, it was at most a Mid-tier Spiritual Plant, and its Maturity Phase was only about the height of a person.
Yet this Corpse Mushroom before him had grown so large that it could only be described as mutated.
Atop this Corpse Mushroom, a small red flower still stood proudly on its head.
It was clear that this was the same mushroom Tian Zhu had brought before.
However, Ji Yang couldn’t understand why it had grown so big.
To clarify the anomaly he was witnessing, Ji Yang once again spread his primordial spirit energy, as relying solely on his eyes would not reveal the details.
With the scan of his primordial spirit energy, Ji Yang discovered the reason for the abnormal spiritual energy in the spiritual herb garden.
It turned out that all the energy was being absorbed by the mushroom in front of him.
But wasn’t the amount a bit excessive?
Ji Yang continued to observe, but as he did, his expression gradually became serious.
With each “breath” of the Corpse Mushroom, a large amount of spiritual energy flowed into the spiritual plant.
The more spiritual energy it absorbed, the larger the Corpse Mushroom became; it had thoroughly achieved Tian Zhu’s goal of growing well without using the spiritual field.
Yet Ji Yang couldn’t understand why such a situation hadn’t occurred last time.
After all, Tian Zhu had been planting this type of spiritual plant for more than just a few days.
Moreover, beside this giant Corpse Mushroom, there were clearly several other Corpse Mushrooms planted, and the spiritual plants atop the mushrooms varied, showing that Tian Zhu had indeed put in effort in this area.
Ji Yang tried to recall what was different about this mushroom he had seen, while also condensing his primordial spirit energy into threads, preparing to delve into the interior of the spiritual plant for an examination.
