Chapter 594: Kill-Life Cult (Happy New Year to all readers!!!)
Time flew by, and seasons changed in the blink of an eye.
Years passed in the Qingyu Garden.
Fang Xing calculated with his fingers and realized that his 60th birthday, the Jiazi anniversary, had arrived, but unfortunately, there was no one to celebrate with him.
He cooked himself a bowl of longevity noodles and once again jotted down the grudges against the Xue Ying Clan in his little notebook, awaiting the day he would take revenge on them for his original body's family.
Several months later, inside the treehouse, Fang Xing sat cross-legged, and suddenly, he felt the 'Qingmu Art' power within him break through a hurdle that had troubled him for a long time.
The 'Yuconglong' Daoji realm trembled slightly, reaching its limit.
"The Middle Dao Ji Realm, achieved..."
Fang Xing opened his eyes, and a flash of green light appeared in them, "After practicing the art for over a decade, I've finally broken through the Middle Dao Ji Realm... This progress is quite good."
In reality, if outsiders knew of this progress, they would be astonished.
With a thought, a vast amount of essence from the lush and verdant Changqing trees outside surged into his body, transforming his bones and muscles.
In this state, the attributes in his status panel continuously refreshed:
[You have undergone a 'Natural Baptism', gaining a large amount of 'Natural Knowledge'...]
[Your Druid level has increased to 14, gaining the talent 'Regeneration'!]
Fang Xing suddenly felt his body infused with a powerful life force, capable of regrowing even severed limbs.
"Good things come in pairs..."
He sighed and looked at the detailed data:
[Name: Fang Xing]
[Age: 60/601]
[Profession: Druid Level 14]
[Realm: Middle Dao Ji Realm (Yuconglong)]
[Talents: Nature Affinity, Wilderness Shapeshifting, Plant Growth, Toxin Immunity, Youth Eternal, Thorn Technique, Tree-Bark Technique, Nature Heal, Enlightened Tree Being, Tree Herder, Toughness, Combat Casting, Enlightenment Technique, Regeneration]
[Skills: Wan Quan Hand (Grandmaster 800/800), Paper Folding Technique (Grandmaster 466/800), Beast Taming Technique (Grandmaster 800/800), Qi-Concealing Technique (Grandmaster 800/800)]
...
"The growth of my Druid level seems a bit slow. Is it because I've used the Enlightenment Technique to enlighten the Ginseng Sprites and the Black Snake multiple times?"
"Or is it that the experience gap widens significantly in the later stages?"
Fang Xing fell into deep thought.
The next breakthrough to level 15 Druid would bring about earth-shattering changes, and it might take even longer!
After all, a level 15 Druid was equivalent to a Yinshen Immortal!
"There's no need to be too anxious. I can start plotting to obtain those Divine Nature's Gift root diagrams first..."
Fang Xing was very interested in the so-called Divine Nature's Gift root diagrams. According to the description, by comprehending them, there was a chance to gain a Pseudo-perfect enlightenment!
Such divine objects were not something that Yinshen Immortals or Yangshen Cultivators could create.
There was a high possibility that they were created by the divine beings of the Greater Zhou Divine Court!
'Before, it was just hearsay, but after joining Qingmu Mountain, I learned more about the Greater Zhou Divine Court... Those divine beings, compared to Yangshen Cultivators, are like the sun to fireflies... If not for their restrictions on taking action, those so-called Ten Great Righteous and Evil Sects might not even have the chance to flee to the Beyond.'
'The so-called Beyond and Ten Great Righteous and Evil Sects are nothing more than a bunch of stray dogs.'
'But I am quite interested in the power of those divine beings...'
Fang Xing pondered for a moment but decided against accepting any combat missions to earn more Gongxun contributions.
After all, battles were dangerous.
As long as he didn't participate, there was no chance of losing!
Moreover, he didn't need to step onto the battlefield.
With the Druid's Plant Growth talent and the Yuconglong enlightenment, maturing thousand-year spiritual herbs was a simple task.
The next time he submitted medicinal ingredients, he could mature several more, easily earning ten thousand Gongxun.
Although thousand-year spiritual herbs only looked a decade older than hundred-year herbs, their value increased by a hundredfold or more.
"The grade of spiritual herbs increases significantly every hundred, thousand, or ten thousand years..."
"In fact, I don't need to provide thousand-year spiritual herbs. That would draw too much attention. It's better to focus on quantity... I'll offer several times more hundred-year spiritual herbs. Although it's still an impressive feat for a spiritual farmer, it won't be earth-shattering."
Fang Xing made his decision and immediately left the treehouse, heading towards the ancient Changqing Tree.
"Greetings, Manager."
Meng Tiandong and the others hurriedly saluted, but their thoughts were less respectful.
This manager, aside from planting trees, usually preferred wandering in the wilderness. Why was he in the medicinal garden today?
"There should still be many seeds of Qingyu Grass, Qinglong Flowers, and Trilife Fruits, right?"
Fang Xing inquired.
"Of course..."
Meng Tiandong nodded. These seeds weren't particularly rare. After harvesting them in a specific way, the spiritual herbs could continue to grow.
Moreover, a single seed could produce ten or more spiritual herbs.
"Then let's open a hundred acres of herb fields. I want to plant them myself."
Fang Xing instructed.
"Yes, sir."
Meng Tiandong and the others had no objections. After all, the new herb fields wouldn't affect the output of the existing medicinal garden.
If there were additional benefits, they would also gain a lot.
Furthermore, although this medicinal garden manager dressed a bit oddly, his spiritual farming skills were genuinely impressive.
As disciples of the Medicinal Garden, they were the most aware of this.
The evidence was the Changqing trees planted by Fang Xing, all of which were thriving with hardly any dead trees.
Any pest or disease that affected the Medicinal Garden would be dealt with immediately.
Meng Tiandong even felt that the Changqing trees were growing too vigorously, and some of the earliest planted ones seemed to be approaching a hundred years old...
...
According to the rules, the opening of a new herb field in the Medicinal Garden should have been reported.
However, neither Fang Xing nor Meng Tiandong took it seriously.
In the past, when encountering such matters, Shennong Hall would have approved it, but it was just a matter of procedure.
Unexpectedly, after a few days...
There was a mistake in the content of the book!
Fei Changnong, along with a female Dao Ji cultivator in red and several disciples, arrived.
"Senior Brother Fei, Senior Sister Hong!"
Fang Xing greeted them, a little puzzled.
These two were extremely busy individuals, and he couldn't understand why they had come here.
"Hehe, I heard that you, Junior Brother Fang, are opening new fields in Qingyu Garden, so I naturally came to take a look..."
Fei Changnong smiled and walked to the side of the new herb field.
Meng Tiandong, together with Yu Santi and Hua Qing, who were turning the soil, saw the deputy head of Shennong Hall arrive in person and hurriedly paid their respects.
"Not bad, not bad..."
Fei Changnong praised them with his hands behind his back, leaving Meng Tiandong a little confused.
However, when he glanced at Fang Xing beside him, he immediately understood: 'Could it be because of Senior Brother Fang's face? Is he planning to directly report to the sect for merit and earn more Gongxun? This... this... is simply collusion! Why didn't I encounter such a benefactor in my younger days?'
Fang Xing didn't think that Fei Changnong had a particularly close relationship with him.
After inviting Fei Changnong to sit under the ten-thousand-year-old Changqing tree, he asked Meng Tiandong and the others to make tea. At this moment, Fei Changnong finally spoke: "Since you, Junior Brother, have opened a new Medicinal Garden, there might not be enough disciples here. I'll assign a few more to you. What do you think?"
"Of course, we should follow the sect's decision."
Fang Xing nodded, still a little perplexed as to why Fei Changnong wanted to send more people to him.
"That's great..."
The red-robed female cultivator beside him smiled and said, "What do you think about these few disciples of ours?"
Fang Xing was slightly startled and looked over.
He saw that each of these disciples was young and handsome, with decent cultivation, and some had even already refined Gang Qi within their bodies.
His eyes lit up, "Such talented and beautiful disciples should be serving the sect... They are being wasted here."
This red-robed female cultivator was introduced to him by Fei Changnong, and she cultivated the art of seduction, which Fang Xing had always tried to avoid.
The more beautiful the woman, the more trouble she represented.
"Sigh..."
Fei Changnong sighed, "I won't hide it from you, Junior Brother. These few disciples are the ones who didn't turn out well under me and Senior Sister Hong. They might undergo changes in the future, so we sent them here to avoid the sect's combat and guarding missions!"
Fang Xing immediately understood, and his guess was close to the truth.
His task in Qingyu Garden might not be very profitable, but it also represented safety.
"Could it be that the sect is about to go to war with some major sect?"
Fang Xing was shocked. "Furthermore, with Senior Brother's status, aren't there other places to assign them?"
"Of course, there are other places... But the sect's True Man has issued an order to freeze all long-term tasks within the sect... Tasks like yours, with a century-long deadline, can no longer be assigned."
Fei Changnong exhaled a long breath, his expression complex: "You're lucky, Junior Brother. The previously assigned tasks remain unchanged. I wonder if, in ten or twenty years, I'll envy you..."
'So, a major battle is approaching, and my task has become highly sought after. Even more crucial is the scarcity of opportunities...'
Fang Xing nodded, then asked solemnly, "Why is that?"
"Hehe... Junior Brother, there's no need to worry too much. It's just a guess."
The red-robed female cultivator laughed charmingly, exuding an alluring aura, "I have some connections in the Flying Sword School... I know that the Greater Zhou Divine Court is currently cracking down on the Kill-Life Cult. If the Kill-Life Cult is driven out of the Greater Zhou Divine Court and enters the Beyond the Mortal Realm, it will become a powerful force, and there will inevitably be various struggles for power and territory..."
The Ten Great Clans were all losers, and the Kill-Life Cult, which had persisted until now and was being driven out, was likely even stronger than the Flying Sword School! With the limited space in the Beyond the Mortal Realm, conflicts over territory and interests would naturally lead to chaos!
"When?"
Fang Xing immediately grasped the key point.
"It could be in a decade or two, or it might be several decades... or it might never happen."
The red-robed female cultivator smiled, "Who knows, the Kill-Life Cult might even persist."
"Then why worry?"
Fang Xing was even more speechless. How famous was the Kill-Life Cult? Was it enough to scare the Qingmu Mountain like this?
"The Ten Great Clans are not static..."
Fei Changnong spoke up at this point: "The so-called military strategy of the righteous path is for the strong to kill the weak. Therefore, before the Kill-Life Cult arrives, the sects in the Beyond the Mortal Realm might first fight among themselves, then compete to determine the weakest one. Once the Kill-Life Cult comes to the south, they will be handed over to the Kill-Life Cult to replace them..."
'So that's how it is...'
This was the first time Fang Xing had heard someone describe bullying the weak and fearing the strong in such a refreshing way, and he felt like he had gained new knowledge: "Since Senior Brother and Senior Sister have said so, I have no reason to refuse..."
