Chapter 483: The New Spiritual Grains.

After leaving the main hall, Ji Yang flew towards Jingtan Peak.

On the way, Ji Yang began to ponder.

In fact, Cuiping Peak did not take the severing of the spiritual veins to heart; otherwise, they would not have sent only one elder.

Besides, he merely dug a small corner, which did not significantly impact the overall spiritual veins of Cuiping Peak.

Unfortunately, the severing of the spiritual veins did not yield any high-quality Light points; otherwise, Ji Yang would have genuinely worried about losing control of the hoe in his hand.

Upon returning to Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang suddenly sensed a strange aura within the peak, one that seemed trapped in a mirage produced by the Blue barley spiritual grains.

This made Ji Yang quite curious about who was so incompetent.

As Ji Yang extended his primordial spirit energy, he discovered that the visitor was none other than Tai Jin.

However, at that moment, Tai Jin was wielding a magical tool, attacking the surrounding area as if engaged in battle with some unknown monster.

Not far from Tai Jin, Little Black and Xuanqing were lying nearby, quietly watching Tai Jin’s performance and occasionally applauding, clearly treating it as their entertainment.

This made Ji Yang’s expression darken.

As Ji Yang drew closer, the two beasts quickly sensed his aura, straightened their expressions, and prepared to confront Tai Jin.

They did not know Tai Jin; they only knew this person wanted to break into Jingtan Peak, perhaps to steal the spiritual grains!

Initially, they thought to play a trick on him before taking him down, but now that Ji Yang was back, they had to put on a good show.

Just as the two beasts were about to strike, Ji Yang shouted:

“Stop!”

His words made Little Black’s open mouth close slowly and reached Tai Jin, who was fighting a few vicious dogs in the mirage.

Once the illusion disappeared, Tai Jin saw the situation around him clearly and immediately understood what was happening.

Upon seeing Little Black not far ahead, Tai Jin’s expression changed slightly; this dog had been the same one in the mirage!

“So, Tai Jin, did you find what I needed?”

As Ji Yang spoke, Tai Jin pulled out a storage bag from his belongings and tossed it to Ji Yang.

When Ji Yang opened the storage bag and saw the seeds of spiritual grains and some high-level spiritual plants inside, his face lit up with joy.

Among them were also two types of top-quality spiritual grains he had never planted before, which would grant him plenty of cultivation points.

Initially, the condition for exchanging the magical tool was that Tai Jin would help him find these items.

At this moment, Ji Yang felt quite satisfied.

“Junior Brother Ji, what about my magical tool?”

Before Tai Jin could finish speaking, Ji Yang took the breaking shuttle out of the storage bag and threw it to Tai Jin.

This was an ancient magical tool used to break formations and spatial barriers; it was somewhat similar to his immobilizing mirror, just with a different function.

After obtaining this item, Ji Yang had not used it much; thanks to the Art of Ascension, ordinary formations could not stop him. Where the Art of Ascension could not work, this magical tool might not be effective either.

But beforehand, Ji Yang had studied the breaking shuttle.

After merging the immobilizing mirror with the Soul Fixing Mirror, a hint of time essence was produced, leading Ji Yang to wonder whether these ancient magical tools also contained different essences of the Way.

After Ji Yang’s thorough examination, he indeed found a trace of the essence of the Way within the breaking shuttle.

Unfortunately, the essence contained in this ancient magical tool was very minimal and could not even be condensed. It seemed to have long merged with the treasure, making absorption impossible.

This left Ji Yang disinterested in further exploration; if he couldn’t extract the essence, this magical tool wouldn’t meet his needs.

Next, Ji Yang checked the causal fishing rod.

After all, this fishing rod inherently possessed the power of causality.

As expected, Ji Yang sensed a hint of Causal Essence within it.

This was also a type of Supreme essence with unusual power. However, unlike other essences, grasping this type of essence would bring many causal influences upon the cultivator, and if their strength was insufficient, they could potentially face disaster.

Moreover, the essence within the causal fishing rod was not enough to be absorbed, so Ji Yang simply used it as a standard fishing rod.

However, if he encountered other ancient magical tools containing Causal Essence, merging the two might allow him to absorb another piece of it.

But Ji Yang had no such plans; he didn’t even dare to advance his cultivation level, fearing that if he drew too much causal influence, he might face the Calamity Clouds too soon.

Upon reclaiming his magical tool, Tai Jin sighed deeply. After carefully inspecting it to confirm it was indeed his breaking shuttle, he quickly returned the tool to his storage bag, casting a wary glance at Ji Yang.

This left Ji Yang speechless—did he really look like that kind of person?

“Tai Jin, safe travels!”

After Tai Jin departed, Ji Yang hurried back to the peak top, preparing to deal with the new seeds of spiritual grains and eliminate their flaws.

However, while handling them, Ji Yang did not remove the flaws caused by spiritual insects in the spiritual grains.

As a spiritual beast, they also needed training; otherwise, how could they grow quickly?

Moreover, he noticed that Little Black became lazy when there were no spiritual insects in the spiritual grains, and that simply wouldn’t do!

Eating the master’s food required fulfilling the master’s tasks.

He still depended on Little Black to guard the house in the future!

Ten days later, all the spiritual grains in the spiritual fields were harvested, and Ji Yang planted the new seeds of spiritual grains.

The two types of top-quality spiritual grains were planted within Jingtan Peak to ensure the quality of the Light points.

As for the other spiritual grains, Ji Yang planted them in the newly opened spiritual fields.

Although the growth rate was a bit slower, producing White Light Points was not a big issue.

During these ten days, Little White, who had been sleeping in Clear Pond, also woke up. After her breakthrough, Little White’s strength surged, reaching the Spirit Transformation Stage. Upon sensing Ji Yang’s aura, she immediately wanted to take revenge.

She had endured for many years just for this moment!

Unfortunately, after a lesson from Ji Yang’s fist, Little White quickly recognized the reality.

But her current submission did not mean she had given up!

Her current retreat was for a brighter future!

With Little White awake, Ji Yang no longer needed to water the spiritual grains himself, making things much easier.

……

“Little Black, Little White, Xuanqing, it’s not that I don’t want to give you all these spiritual grains to eat.”

“You all know that, although I am now the master of Jingtan Peak, the peak also belongs to the sect. The Sect Master has already said I must surrender all the spiritual grains of Jingtan Peak; there’s nothing I can do about it! Although I have some strength, I cannot defy the sect’s orders.”

Ji Yang’s words enraged the three beasts. They had fought hard for every grain, only to hear Ji Yang say they couldn’t eat a single one. They felt like immediately finding the Sect Master to settle the score.

As the three beasts fumed, Ji Yang spoke with righteous indignation:

“What the Sect Master did is indeed excessive, but I am still the master of Jingtan Peak, so I cannot let him act recklessly!”

“After my insistence, the sect only demands seventy percent of the spiritual grains!”

As Ji Yang finished speaking, the three beasts immediately looked at him with admiration.

Watching the satisfied backs of the three beasts as they left, Ji Yang smiled.

If he presented the matter normally, how could he maintain the authority of the master of Jingtan Peak?

But now it made much more sense.

When an initial request cannot be accepted, one should propose an even more excessive demand; that way, it would feel much better for them.
