Chapter 380: Staying, Lin Zhirui's Surprise
Chapter 380: Staying, Lin Zhirui's Surprise
October 26, 2024
"I never expected so many events to unfold in the Central Land," Lu Qing sighed.
The Central Land was too far from Cangzhou, and even the Wei family struggled to station people there.
Information from that region was naturally delayed.
"But doesn't the Holy Mountain have a solution?" Lu Qing knew that the Holy Mountain's principle was to maintain peace among the states.
Logically, with such a major incident in the Central Land, the Holy Mountain should not have turned a blind eye.
The three Holy Masters had the ability to stop this chaos.
"That's precisely what confuses me. With the Central Land in such turmoil, the Holy Mountain hasn't taken any action.
The three Holy Masters haven't reappeared, and even Master, with his advanced age, couldn't meet them when he went up the mountain to seek an audience."
It was for this reason that Master had a premonition of abnormalities and strictly ordered us not to casually involve ourselves in the disputes among the major sects.
He even sent us out to travel through the various states, temporarily avoiding the spotlight."
"The Holy Mountain hasn't taken action?" Lu Qing was slightly taken aback.
But soon, he recalled the information he gathered when fighting the third Holy Master's puppet.
The third Holy Master's true body was at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm.
The other two Holy Masters were likely at the same level.
The Heavenly Dao Resonance had already sounded four times, and it wouldn't be long before it sounded again.
Were the three Holy Masters perhaps comprehending the Heavenly and Earthly Laws, waiting for the rules to evolve to the point where they could break through, hence their neglect of the Central Land's chaos? Lu Qing pondered this, feeling it was a strong possibility.
For cultivators, the most important thing was breaking through cultivation realms.
Everyone had their own desires, and even if the three Holy Masters genuinely cared for the world, they might still prioritize their breakthrough during such a heaven-sent opportunity.
Of course, these were just Lu Qing's speculations, so he didn't voice them.
He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Mister Zhirui, if you don't mind, you can stay here for a while. Although our place is small, the scenery is pleasant, making it a good place to cultivate and nurture your nature."
"You're too kind, Lu Qing. Let me tell you, when I arrived just now, I almost thought I had come to the wrong place.
After being away for so long, the changes in Nine Li Village are immense."
Lin Zhirui looked around.
After sitting in the courtyard for a while, he increasingly felt the village's extraordinariness.
It wasn't just the dense spiritual energy; the earth's energy beneath his feet was also remarkably calm, and the surrounding space held a vibrant aura of life.
Living here long-term, even without cultivation, could likely extend one's lifespan and ensure a pain-free life.
"It's just a bit more abundant in spiritual energy, far from the famous mountains and rivers of the Central Land," Lu Qing modestly said.
"Indeed, if Zhirui has nowhere else to go, staying here temporarily is a good idea. I won't say more, but this plum tea is definitely in abundance."
At this moment, the senior doctor had also finished brewing the plum tea and handed a cup to Lin Zhirui.
Seeing that both master and disciple were urging him to stay, Lin Zhirui was moved.
After some contemplation, he smiled and nodded, "In that case, I'll be imposing on your hospitality. I'm grateful for your kind offer."
He picked up the cup, took a sip, and then, the next moment, his eyes widened slightly as he stared at the cup in his hand, surprised, "This tea..."
"Did you notice, Zhirui?" The senior doctor's face lit up with a smile.
"This plum tea seems to contain the essence of life, and it can aid in cultivation?"
Lin Zhirui wasn't entirely sure.
He had just taken a sip of tea when he noticed that the transformation of spiritual energy within his body had become faster.
Indeed, after a long separation from Lu Qing, Lin Zhirui had recently comprehended the essence of refining spiritual energy, and he had already begun to gradually transform his true qi into spiritual power.
"Hehe, with the changes in the world, the revival of spiritual energy, the plum tree in the courtyard seems to have undergone some transformations as well."
The old doctor chuckled as he spoke, his eyes revealing his understanding of Lin Zhirui's internal condition.
"It seems that after the revival of spiritual energy, the number of spiritual treasures in the world has been increasing."
Lin Zhirui looked up at the plum tree above him and noticed that it had indeed undergone some changes.
Not only had it become more robust, but it also seemed to be brewing a unique essence that Lin Zhirui found difficult to comprehend.
He realized that this plum tree had likely transformed into a legendary spirit tree.
Thus, with Lu Qing and the old doctor's persuasion, Lin Zhirui decided to stay in Nine Li Village for the time being.
At noon, when Wei Shan Hai and the others learned of this, they also came to pay their respects to Lin Zhirui.
In the past, Wang Cang had led his disciples to besiege the Wei family, and it was Lin Zhirui who had intervened during the crisis.
Subsequently, it was Lin Zhirui who came to Nine Li Village to deliver the news, which prompted the old doctor and the others to decide to go to the county town, ultimately resolving the Wei family's crisis.
Wei Shan Hai and the others had always remembered this favor.
Now, upon hearing that Lin Zhirui had come to Nine Li Village, they naturally came to pay their respects.
Especially when they heard that Lin Zhirui would be temporarily staying there, they immediately expressed their willingness to help arrange things for Lin Zhirui.
"Lu Qing, what are you doing here?"
The next morning, Lin Zhirui saw Lu Qing effortlessly using spells to irrigate the spirit field, and he couldn't help but ask.
Especially when he saw the spell cloud that Lu Qing had condensed, floating above the spirit field, he was amazed.
"I'm irrigating the spirit field. To grow these spirit crops well, irrigation is essential.
Moreover, it requires the use of spirit rain for effective results; ordinary rainwater isn't sufficient."
Lu Qing didn't hide anything and explained with a smile.
"This is the spirit field, and what's growing inside is the spirit rice we ate yesterday, right?"
Lin Zhirui looked in amazement at the lush, green rice growing in the spirit field.
He recalled the delicious taste of the spirit rice from the previous night's dinner, which not only nourished the body but also enhanced cultivation.
"Indeed, this is my second batch of spirit crops, but it will take another two months before they can be harvested."
Lu Qing's hand gestures changed slightly, and the spell cloud floating above the spirit field began to move slowly. It drifted to another corner of the field and started to sprinkle spirit rain.
This sight left Lin Zhirui completely dumbfounded.
Although the revival of spiritual energy and the existence of the path of cultivation were no longer secrets, the powerful cultivators in the world were still mostly stuck in the process of refining spiritual energy and transforming their true qi into spiritual power.
Apart from the Four Secret Places, even the top sects in the Central Land were still in the exploratory stages of cultivation.
Lin Zhirui, as a core direct disciple of the Celestial Secrets Tower, had seen and heard much of the world's secrets.
But this was the first time he had witnessed the existence of spells with his own eyes.
Watching Lu Qing effortlessly casting spells to irrigate the spirit field, along with everything he had seen since arriving in Nine Li Village the previous day, made Lin Zhirui truly feel the existence of the path of cultivation.
