Chapter 207 Plant Cultivation!
Hearing Shen Lianshishi's big mouth, the corners of Zhenren Aoki's mouth twitched.
But what can I do? Someone came to my door.
These are not the key points, the key point is that he can't beat him. If Shen Lian had killed him just now, he might have been queued up in reincarnation now.
The consequences are not something his Qingmu Sect can bear.
"Fellow Taoist, the spirit tree is rare but not sought after. Now my sect only has one piece left, and it was passed down from our ancestors."
"Take it out and see."
Shen Lian asked Master Qingmu to take out the heart of the spiritual tree. The purpose of his trip was for this spiritual object.
Blackmail is just a tactic.
Back then, he ran away like a gangster, but now he comes looking for bullies with an ugly face.
To be honest, it is not an unreasonable thing for him to bully someone like this, but it is quite unreasonable.
Besides, they gave him a piece of spiritual tree heart back then, something worth hundreds of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. It was already an extremely valuable apology to him when he was still at the foundation building level.
I also followed the orders of Yunshang Sect, so I really need to go to Yunshang Sect to find trouble.
It is not an exaggeration to describe him as bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, being shameless and shameless.
He can only blame the Qingmu Sect for having a spiritual tree heart. This thing is something that is hard to come by, and it is what he needs urgently at the moment.
"Fellow Taoist, how can you carry such a valuable thing with you?"
Master Aoki glanced at Shen Lian and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go get it from the sect."
"Okay, Fellow Taoist Qingmu, take it easy. Fellow Taoist Qingyi, please stay here and have tea with me."
Master Aoki hesitated for a moment, glanced at his junior sister, and then flew away.
As Shen Lian waved his hand, there was a simple tea set on the table in front of him.
"What are you doing, fellow Daoist Qingyi, hiding so far away?"
After boiling the spring water and pouring it into the teapot, Shen Lian brought a cup of tea to Qingyi. He slowly enjoyed it himself, regardless of whether Qingyi drank it or not.
"Do you know how to play music?"
After a cup of tea, Shen Lian suddenly asked.
"Won't."
Qingyi responded dully.
"If you want to listen to music, go to the Holy Spirit Palace. The female cultivators there are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I only know how to cultivate spiritual plants."
"What is the natal spiritual plant of fellow Taoist Qingyi?"
The monks of the Qingmu Sect will refine the natal spirit implant. In Shen Lian's view, this sect was born at the wrong time. There are no powerful monks now, mainly because there is no suitable spiritual implant to refine into the body.
If in the ancient times, geniuses and treasures were everywhere, the Aoki Sect would not be able to reach heaven.
"Green Cage Seven Apertures Spiritual Heart Grass."
Before Shen Lian could speak again, Master Qingmu had already returned from the sect, and a jade box in his hand fell in front of Shen Lian.
"Fellow Taoist, this is the heart of a 3,600-year-old spiritual tree."
When Shen Lian opened the jade box, the rich spiritual light suddenly illuminated the entire room. The pure and green light made the three people in the room glow green.
"Third level top grade."
Shen Lian checked it and found that this piece of spiritual wood was much better than the previous one.
Normally, elixirs and plants that are more than three thousand years old will either be promoted to the fourth level or wither.
There are too few spiritual plants that grow slowly, such as the spirit tree heart is wasting time.
With this piece of spiritual tree heart, his physical cultivation realm can be promoted to at least the middle stage of the third level, and by then his legal cultivation can also easily break through.
"Click."
After checking, Shen Lian covered the jade box, and the green light in the room suddenly disappeared.
He grabbed the teapot and poured a glass of water for Masato Aoki.
Aoki took the tea cup, his eyes still falling on Shen Lian.
The spirit tree tree heart has been brought, and he needs Shen Lian's promise. Otherwise, if Shen Lian comes at his word, Qingmu Sect will no longer be Shen Lian's warehouse.
"It's over now."
Shen Lian also knew what Qingmu was waiting for, so he picked up the tea cup and signaled.
As the words fell, Aoki just picked up the tea cup.
"I wonder where you got the spirit tree heart from?"
Shen Lian looked at Qingmu and asked.
Something like the spirit tree heart can only be born from some ancient trees in places with abundant spiritual energy.
There are old trees in the mountains and fields. Some old trees have grown for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. They wither and sprout again and again, but they are still ordinary trees.
"As I said before, it was passed down from our ancestors. When it comes to my generation and my junior sister's, there are only two pieces left, and they have all fallen into the hands of fellow Taoists."
"There must be a place for production." Shen Lian continued to ask.
"It's deep in Tianzhu Mountain, go find it."
Seeing Shen Lian intimidating her senior brother, Qingyi, who had been silent, spoke up.
Shen Lian didn't care. He boiled the spring water again and poured it into the teapot. The only sound left in the room was the clinking of the tea cups and the gurgling of the spring water.
This feeling makes Qingmu and Qingyi feel even more stressed.
Suddenly, Shen Lian spoke.
"Cuilong Qiqiao Lingxincao, your junior sister's spiritual plant has not yet awakened."
As soon as these words came out, Qingmu and Qingyi were suddenly startled.
"You...how do you know the secret of spiritual planting?"
Qingyi spoke in surprise.
"Who said it?"
Her natal spiritual plant, Lingxincao, is not a secret among some golden elixir monks in the South China Sea, and it is not difficult for Shen Lian to find out.
"Hand over the heart of the spirit tree, and I may be able to help you gain enlightenment."
Just now, while Shen Lian was boiling water and making tea, he had some knowledge about Ling Zhi's inheritance.
The inheritance of the previous first- and second-level spiritual planters does not consume many enlightenment points in total.
At this moment, the mind is in the sea.
The little man of divine consciousness sat cross-legged, with densely packed knowledge of inherited spiritual plant masters in front of him, from the first-grade low-grade to the second-grade middle-grade.
The little man of divine consciousness flipped through the relevant knowledge, and his mouth slightly opened.
The soul and the body were synchronized, and turned into the words that Shen Lian spoke.
He flipped through the information and pretended to be a master, without wasting time.
The inheritance of the first and second-grade spiritual plant masters is naturally not so profound, but it has a general outline and makes preliminary annotations on the countless spiritual plants in the world of cultivation.
"Are you also a spiritual plant master?"
Qingyi shrank his green cloud pattern cloak, especially the position of the dantian, and he crossed his hands to protect it.
Qingmu Sect is rich in spiritual plant masters, and their two junior sisters are also spiritual plant masters. In the past, Yunshang Sect often asked them to cultivate spiritual plants and spiritual medicines.
But the spiritual plant skills inherited by Qingmu Sect are actually not comprehensive, and are more for assisting the practice of exercises.
"Green cage seven-orifice spiritual heart grass, it looks like you haven't opened any orifice."
Spiritual plants, like cultivators, need to be improved little by little. Some spiritual plants' transformation needs some external conditions to trigger.
For example, this spiritual heart grass, not to mention opening seven orifices to activate the spiritual heart, as long as four orifices are opened, Qingyi can also be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
She is now promoted to the Golden Core stage, which is actually not related to the spiritual heart grass. It is purely due to her own practice.
The seven-orifice spiritual heart person is the old fox among the old foxes. With the temperament of Qingyi Zhenren, Shen Lian can't see where she has opened her orifice. Instead, she is more like a flower carefully cared for by the sect.
"Daoyou, do you really know the method of opening the orifice of the seven-orifice spiritual heart grass?"
Qingmu's expression changed. Shen Lian was the first one in recent years to say that the Green Cage Seven-orifice Spirit Heart Grass needed someone to open his orifice.
He Qingmu Sect was born at the wrong time!
If it were in the ancient times, no, even in the Middle Ages, his Qingmu Sect could also become a famous Nascent Soul, or even a God-transforming sect.
But now it is just an ordinary Jindan force.
The founder of Qingmu Sect was just a casual cultivator in Tianzhu Mountain. Once, when he was being chased, he accidentally ran into the depths of Tianzhu Mountain and received the inheritance. He practiced all the way to Jindan Great Perfection and founded Qingmu Sect.
Over the years, Qingmu Sect has inherited some spiritual plant skills, but no cultivator has ever broken through to Jindan Great Perfection.
The main reason is that the dual cultivation method of the natal spiritual plant is too dependent on the spiritual plant at the time of entry.
Take Qingmu Zhenren himself as an example. When he was practicing, he refined a third-level cloud pattern sky blue wood, which is said to be expected to be promoted to the fourth level.
But when he really promoted to the Jindan stage, he found that let alone letting the cloud pattern sky blue wood be promoted to the fourth level, he didn't even have the ability to let the sky blue wood be promoted to the third-level upper grade.
After years of hard practice, he only promoted to the third-level middle grade, and his strength happened to be in the middle stage of Jindan.
Because the quality of cloud pattern sky blue wood is just so-so, his combat power is not outstanding among the middle-stage Jindan cultivators. He will even be beaten and flee when he encounters the early-stage Jindan cultivators with fire attributes.
The Cuilong Seven-orifice Spiritual Heart Grass is quite famous in the world of immortal cultivation. There are related records in many sect classics, but there is no record of its cultivation.
The unopened Spiritual Heart Grass can grow into a third-level spiritual plant on its own, which can be used as medicine or to make talisman paper.
But if you want to be promoted to the fourth level, you must open your orifices. However, this kind of spiritual grass is naturally suitable for plant cultivation. Without the help of plant cultivation, the Spiritual Heart Grass will gradually wither after becoming a third-level spiritual grass.
Each kind of spiritual plant has a corresponding cultivation method, but the Qingmu Sect does not have a cultivation method for the Spiritual Heart Grass.
True Man Qingmu stood up and poured tea for Shen Lian, his expression was very uneasy.
The Seven-orifice Spiritual Heart Grass refined by Junior Sister Qingyi was brought back by his master from the depths of Tianzhu Mountain.
Since the founding father, every generation of Qingmu Sect's leader would go into the depths of Tianzhu Mountain to explore when he was about to pass away.
Throughout the generations, only four people have been able to return from the depths of Tianzhu Mountain, including their master, the previous generation Qingmu Zhenren.
After the previous generation of Qingmu Zhenren returned, he accepted Qingyi as his disciple and passed away in just five years. Qingmu can be said to be both a senior brother and a master.
The previous generation of Qingmu Zhenren brought back the Cuilong Seven-orifice Spiritual Heart Grass from the depths of Tianzhu Mountain. Such a thing naturally could not be hidden from Yunshang Sect.
As a Yuanying Sect, Yunshang Sect has countless classics in the sect, and naturally found records about the Spiritual Heart Grass.
Therefore, when Qingyi was refining the Spiritual Heart Grass, Yunshang Sect sent a message to let Qingyi choose a Taoist partner in Yunshang Sect.
However, over the years, seeing that the Spiritual Heart Grass on Qingyi had not opened up, it was determined that Qingmu Sect did not have the corresponding method to open up, so this matter was slowly suppressed.
"If you can tell me how to open my mind, I will give you the map of the place where the sect found the heart of the spiritual tree."
"Let me see the spiritual heart grass of Qingyi."
Shen Lian looked at Qingyi Zhenren.
Plant cultivation can be said to be a declining path of cultivation after physical cultivation, and the decline of the two is closely related. The two sides are enemies.
It is said that when physical cultivation could not find high-level spiritual objects, they set their minds on plant cultivation.
Kill plant cultivation to steal spiritual plants.
Under Shen Lian's gaze, Qingyi opened the cloak that wrapped her, and a small hole slowly appeared on the green skirt at the lower abdomen, just revealing the navel.
A green spiritual plant about three inches in size just covered the navel.
This spiritual plant has seven crabapple-shaped leaves, and there is a hazy green light ball between the seven leaves.
Rumor has it that when the spiritual grass opens its orifices, it will all be submerged in the cyan light group. When all seven orifices are opened, the cyan light group will submerge into the heart of the practitioner. During the process of opening, it will gradually enlighten the practitioner's spiritual wisdom and improve it. Comprehension.
After observing the spiritual grass, Shen Lianye stated his conditions.
"Give me a set of rubbings of the practice methods inherited by the Aoki Sect, plus the location where the heart of the spiritual tree was found."
"Also, add thirty third-level high-grade talisman papers."
Having said this, Shen Lian looked at Master Qingyi, "You have inherited the Qingmu Sect for so many years, do you have any fourth-level talismans?"
When Shen Lian saw it, Qingyi panicked.
"It really does."
"Add three more fourth-level talisman papers."
There was silence in the room.
"I have the secret method to open the front four orifices."
The four orifices of Green Cage Seven-aperture Spirit Heart Grass open corresponding to the fourth level, allowing Zhixiu to advance to Nascent Soul.
"Fellow Taoist wants too much."
Qingmu smiled bitterly, they really couldn't get what Shen Lian wanted.
The Qingmu Sect established its sect through cultivation, and naturally a lot of spiritual herbs have been cultivated over the years. Moreover, the Yunshang Sect also stipulated that every generation of Jindan Daoist in the Qingmu Sect must make a fourth-level talisman paper for them.
The reason why the Qingmu Sect can make fourth-level talisman paper is not that the craftsmanship is exquisite, but that the Qingmu Sect has a stupid way.
Take the essence of third-level spiritual plants and spend hundreds of years gathering them together little by little, using quantity to produce qualitative changes.
The quality of the fourth-level talisman paper produced by this method is not that good, but looking at the various regions of the Southern Continent, it is still a strategic material.
"Fellow Taoist asked for my sect's cultivation method because I want to see if I can follow the path of cultivation. Our sect has a secret cultivation method that can use the power of spiritual cultivation."
Master Aoki didn't want to take away the sect's cultivation techniques, but he knew Shen Lian's purpose.
At that time, the Yunshang Sect also came to visit.
"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with you, but my fellow Taoist has a major cultivation method. Unless he practices it again, he can no longer practice the cultivation method. He can only use the secret method to perform it."
Aoki explained, "In addition, our sect does not have that many talismans. The maximum number of third-level talismans can be given to five fellow Taoists, and the fourth-level talisman can be given to one fellow Taoist."
"Ten third-level high-grade talisman papers."
"Two of the fourth level."
Qingmu shook his head, "Fellow Taoist, our Qingmu Sect really can't afford so much."
Shen Lian didn't look at Qingmu's bitter face, and his eyes fell on Qingyi again.
"Fellow Taoist, is it true?"
Qingyi looked at Qingmu, then closed her eyes again after realizing it.
"Fellow Taoist Qingmu is not sincere."
Shen Lian looked at Qingmu again, "Compared to your sect giving birth to a True Lord Nascent Soul, this little thing is nothing."
Aoki smiled bitterly again, a little helpless, the junior sisters all took action.
"Fellow Taoist, this matter must not be revealed to anyone. You and I need to make a land contract."
"I also want to make sure that you can't trouble me again in the future." Qingyi said.
"I guarantee that the method of opening up the Qiqiao Lingxin Grass is true."
"Can."
Shen Lian nodded. He was not afraid of cultivating a Nascent Soul enemy. The method of enlightenment could not be completed in a short time. He also needed to find the corresponding spiritual object.
It would take decades just to collect the corresponding spiritual objects, and even if they were used, they might not be successful.
By then, it’s hard to say that he would have already taken the first step towards Nascent Soul.
Besides, based on what he observed, Qing Yi was already afraid of him, and she would probably not dare to fight him even if she met him in the future.
With this batch of talismans, he is more certain of killing Ziyang.
After practicing in seclusion for more than 20 years, Shen Lian thought clearly that old Ziyang had hidden a lot of things, but even if the combined value of these things increased ten to a hundred times, would they still be comparable to the secrets he had?
Not to mention anything else, just saying that he has mastered several crafts, once word spreads, it will attract a lot of attention.
Coupled with a Five Spiritual Roots, a Five Spiritual Roots monk who can practice to the golden elixir stage, the quality of the Spiritual Roots will not be bad, and I believe there will be more people interested.
As for his intention to accept Ziyang's old man, Shen Lian was not sure at all. Ziyang was not Dahei, Sanqian, or Twenty Thousand, whom he had raised since childhood, but an old guy who had lived for more than three thousand years.
