Born with immortal seed

Chapter 200 One Person Blocks the Door

Blackwater Master was still recovering from serious injuries, and Greenwood Master was on the verge of death. They directly sacrificed their withered wood body and used their remaining power to suppress the demonic fire, thus saving their lives.

Zhou Suqing gave the three-tier top-grade spiritual land left by Ancestor Yang to the two seniors for healing and recuperation.

After the Core Formation demonic cultivators retreated, only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect remained outside Jade Moon Lake.

Bai Zichen suppressed his murderous intent and turned to go to the small island in the middle of the lake.

If a Core Formation cultivator conceals their presence and hides in the shadows, they are beyond his ability to detect.

There's no need to expose a flaw in the third-tier grand formation and put yourself back in danger just to kill a few Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.

Master Heishui's injuries have healed considerably, but of course, the lost cultivation level cannot be recovered; he can only rebuild it himself.

A cycle of sixty years is a considerable period of time, even for a Core Formation cultivator who lives for five hundred years.

Bai Zichen secretly became vigilant, knowing he must be careful if he encountered Jiang Yuhe in the future, and absolutely must not let the Black Lotus touch him.

"I wonder if the Seven-Pearl Mystic Pearl can withstand the Black Lotus after it is upgraded to a magic weapon... It will probably be difficult, after all, even if it is successfully upgraded, it will only be a low-grade magic weapon."

Aoki Masato's condition has not improved much; his injuries have not worsened, and he remains unconscious.

It has already exited the withered tree form, its face is covered with black aura, and its body is sometimes as hot as fire and sometimes as cold as ice.

According to Blackwater Master's prediction, it will take another six months for him to regain consciousness.

In the future, he will most likely suffer the same fate as Elder Yang, with a damaged foundation and a greatly reduced lifespan, unable to live to the age of a normal Core Formation True Person.

"Uncle Bai, the harvest of Dragon Tooth Rice has been completed today... Compared to the last harvest, the yield has decreased by 20%."

Cai Heng stood at the lower end, already showing signs of old age.

He was already quite old, and being a rogue cultivator, he had wasted too much time before.

Even with the cultivation environment of Jade Moon Lake and Bai Zichen's guidance, he only reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, with no possibility of Foundation Establishment.

During the sect wars, when people were filled with anxiety, the fact that the spirit fields were managed so well demonstrated not only dedication but also ability.

“The plant masters have not relaxed their efforts, and there have been no mistakes in any step... Please have Elder Tong examine it; the problem should be with the spirit seed.”

"After three generations, the spiritual seed has been weakened, and the yield per acre has inevitably declined, as mentioned by that guest elder of Shennong Sect."

"They also have no way to solve this problem. They can only rely on the secret environment of the Holy Lotus Sect's medicine garden to find one or two mutated spiritual seeds every hundred years, so that the spiritual rice can be restored to the yield of the first generation."

The yield of Longya rice has been declining year by year, and has dropped to half of the original yield per mu.

This reduction in production directly translates into Lingmi's net profit.

This year's Dragon Tooth Rice, after deducting all costs, will only bring Bai Zichen less than 10,000 spirit stones.

"Since it was unavoidable, you don't need to blame yourself..."

Bai Zichen felt a little regretful, as the total income from several rounds of cultivation was more than 100,000 spirit stones less than expected.

Most importantly, it extinguished the idea of ​​becoming a large landowner and earning cultivation resources after acquiring his own spiritual veins.

The current profits from Longya rice are more than enough for him, but far from enough to make others envious.

Moreover, when the lease period for the spiritual fields expires, they must be returned to the sect next year, and the Spiritual Field Hall will arrange for the cultivation of spiritual rice.

"Remember to store the spirit rice properly, make sure it doesn't get wet or get bitten by insects... Once the Ghost Spirit Sect has completely retreated, you can sell the Dragon Tooth Rice to Wanbaoge."

"As for first-grade spirit rice, there's a lot of it, and long-term storage isn't cost-effective. Just like you said before, brew it all into spirit wine."

Since the two wars began, Wanbaoge has not come to Feiyue Lake to purchase spirit rice for several years.

Dragon Tooth Rice is one thing, but first-grade spirit rice isn't very valuable to begin with, and it requires special care and the setting up of formations, so it's not worth it.

"Uncle, rest assured, I have asked the junior brothers from the Array Hall to set up an array in the granary to isolate it from moisture and keep insects and rodents away... I have also arranged for people to patrol it day and night."

Cai Heng has settled down and started a family in recent years. She has become Daoist partners with a female outer disciple and is accumulating spirit stones to prepare for raising their offspring.

Seeing Tong Huan bow down to Bai Zichen, he had some thoughts in mind and became even more diligent and conscientious in his work.

"As for brewing spirit rice, not many people in the sect know how... but we did encounter a family cultivator who has several brewing recipes and his brewing skills are extraordinary."

“I plan to take 100 jin first and let him brew it to test. If the quality of the spirit wine is acceptable, I will report back to the elder and increase the scale of brewing.”

"You can handle this as you see fit."

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Bai Zichen waved for Cai Heng to leave.

Today he met with a total of seven or eight people, including the head of the Liu family of Monkey Mountain, the person in charge of Lingtian Hall in Feiyue Lake, and his own capable disciples.

It serves not only to maintain relationships but also to reassure people.

The war between the sects with the Ghost Spirit Sect has dragged on for so long that morale is low, and many disciples live in constant fear, worried that one day their sect will be destroyed and they will become prisoners.

Not to mention the family monks who temporarily reside under the eaves.

During his conversation with the head of the Liu family, Bai Zichen understood that since the Ghost Spirit Sect's army had withdrawn, they wanted to leave Feiyue Lake and return to Monkey Mountain.

Bai Zichen could only advise the Liu family patriarch that the demonic cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect might make a comeback.

Once the situation stabilizes, Qingfeng Sect will naturally support the Liu family in rebuilding their clan.

Cultivation, cultivation, only cultivation.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Bai Zichen returned to his quiet room, calmed his mind, endured the loneliness, and focused on his cultivation.

While taking elixirs, refining magical power, and waiting for the Earthly Spirit Flame to merge into the dantian and sea of ​​consciousness, he would occasionally take the time to comprehend the Enlightenment Sword Technique.

"This Star Luo Sword Technique is quite interesting. It is indeed the only sword technique created by a Foundation Establishment cultivator that is included in the Enlightenment Sword Manual... It imitates the stars in the heavens, and the sword technique has a very high concept. It already has some meaning of entering the Dao through technique. It is a pity that it is limited by the cultivation level and vision, and cannot truly evolve the changes of the star sea like the Star River Sword Formation. But I will study it for reference first, which will also help me to comprehend the Star River Sword Formation in the future."

The Wuzhen Sword Manual encompasses all the sword techniques created and collected by the disciples of the Naihe Sect over tens of thousands of years, making it a vast sword encyclopedia.

The minimum criteria for selection are that all sword techniques were created by Core Formation cultivators, and there are even many works by Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

The creator of the Star Luo Sword Technique was just an unknown Foundation Establishment cultivator, a nobody whose name would not even be recorded in the history of the Naihe Sect. Only this sword technique was recognized and selected as part of the Wuzhen Sword Manual.

Bai Zichen used his fingers as swords, studying the Star Luo Sword Technique. His sword energy crisscrossed, seemingly echoing the stars in the sky.

On a grander scale, this Star Luo Sword Technique has a slight connection to the Star River Sword Formation, and its lofty ideals piqued his interest.

Unlike other sword techniques in the sword manual, which are only superficially learned and mastered without seeking in-depth understanding, this one is different from other sword techniques.

He had been immersed in the Star Luo Sword Technique for six or seven days, until the Earth Spirit Flame in his Qi Sea disappeared and transformed into a newly formed drop of liquid mana.

Without hesitation, he stopped studying the Starfall Sword Technique and threw himself back into cultivating the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture.

He can now clearly distinguish between what is important and what is not.

Before advancing to the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage, one will no longer be distracted by other things. All cultivation techniques, even the Five Crystal Glazed Body and sword techniques, will not affect one's progress in cultivation.

"Once the situation stabilizes, I'll go to the Wanbao Pavilion and see if they have any pills similar to the Nine-Turn Dragon-Tiger Pill... It has a limited number of uses, but one pill is equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation. I can accept even a premium of several times, as long as it can shorten the time it takes for me to refine my mana."

Bai Zichen possessed the Purple Star Thunder Sword Embryo, whose true quality exceeded that of a fourth-tier item. The poison left by pills of at most a third-tier item could be easily cleaned up by the overflowing electric arcs.

With such a powerful tool at our disposal, how can we not focus our efforts on this aspect?

Before he knew it, June had passed. During a break from his cultivation, Bai Zichen suddenly noticed that the elder's token was flashing wildly, but he did not say anything about what had happened.

He changed into a new plain-colored Taoist robe, tied with a silk sash around his waist, and strode out of the meditation room.

"But what happened?"

Bai Zichen flew into the air, and all the disciples passing by had happy faces, their eyebrows raised in triumph, sweeping away the dull atmosphere of the past few years. He casually grabbed a menial disciple and asked.

"I have met Elder Bai... News came from Ancestor Ge Cang. The Ancestor escaped from the Lotus Life Secret Realm and, upon hearing the news of the Ghost Spirit Sect's attack on the sect, went directly to Hejian County. He set up a formation at the Ghost Spirit Sect's mountain gate and single-handedly blocked the entire Ghost Spirit Sect for a month."

The servant disciple spoke loudly, feeling proud, even though he only knew bits and pieces of information and didn't understand much.

The war with the Ghost Spirit Sect lasted for several years, and although the Qingfeng Sect did not suffer losses in terms of the number of cultivators killed or wounded—

Old Ancestor Yang self-destructed to form his Core Formation, resulting in one Core Formation cultivator from the Ghost Spirit Sect dying and another being severely injured.

With Bai Zichen, the god of death, around, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators who died in the Ghost Spirit Sect was actually several more than those in the Green Maple Sect.

However, fighting on home turf, they were suppressed by the Ghost Spirit Sect within the mountain gate and could only barely protect themselves with the help of a third-order formation.

Outside the great formation, all resources were abandoned, allowing the enemy to plunder them.

Especially on the side of Jade Moon Lake, the formation was almost broken, and everyone was killed.

The balance of power was clear to every disciple.

If it weren't for the protection of the third-tier grand formation, the Qingfeng Sect would have been no match for the Guiling Sect and would have been wiped out a hundred or eighty times over.

Now that Ancestor Ge Cang has made a powerful return and has blocked the gates of the Ghost Spirit Sect, how could all the disciples of the sect not be excited?

"One person blocking an entire clan, what a powerful and spirited act!"

Bai Zichen flew straight to the small island in the middle of the lake, believing that Zhou Suqing would have more specific information.

When he arrived, the hall was already bustling with activity, as all the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Jade Moon Lake had arrived.

"Senior Sister Zhou, has any specific intelligence been sent from the sect?"

"Yes, Elder Zhou, did Ancestor Ge Cang really storm into Hejian County and take on the Ghost Spirit Sect all by himself?"

"Has the patriarch returned to the sect? Or is he still in Hejian County?"

Zhou Suqing raised her hand twice to signal the noise to stop so she could hear what she was saying: "That's right, the news arrived yesterday, and today there's a detailed explanation."

"Old Ancestor Ge arrived in Hejian County a month ago, and along the way, he traversed the region, slaying countless demonic cultivators... Near the Ghost Spirit Sect's mountain gate, he encountered the White Bone True Man, Peach Blossom Fairy, and Nine-Child Yin Demon, and after a world-shaking battle, he defeated the three of them!"

"The White Bone Immortal's natal magic weapon was destroyed, and four of the nine naked infants that the Nine Sons Yin Demon relied on most were converted by the Ancestor with Supreme Divine Thunder... If it weren't for the help of some Taoist, at least one person would have perished on the spot, not far from the Ghost Spirit Sect's mountain gate!"
