National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 183 Deputy Department
Lin Zhi stood on a makeshift arena.

He looked at the middle-aged man opposite him.

The other party is from the Li family of the alliance, which is a top-notch family outside of the three major alliance leader families.

"Brother Lin, I am Li Feilong, I am sorry for the offense!"

The middle-aged man smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "I'm here, so you better give up on the position of minister this time!"

"Brother Li, please teach me!"

Lin Zhi smiled back, and the soul land domain slowly unfolded.

For these aristocratic families, it was acceptable for him and Meng Xingchen to become the son-in-law of the aristocratic families in Yu County.

Because as sons-in-law, they have no way to create their own family.

In the future, the child can only follow the family's surname.

Therefore, the son-in-law is a member of the same class.

But if you want to run for parliament, things will be different immediately.

Now, among the 37 members of the alliance, an old professor of the alliance occupies a seat, and Meng Xingchen is about to take a seat, but he has been rejected because of his age.

But Meng Xingchen has unparalleled fighting power and has made great contributions, so it is only a matter of time before he becomes a member of parliament in the future.

If Lin Zhi also occupies a seat in the future, then Meng Xingchen's lineage will have three generations of parliamentarians.

Such a long time is enough to cultivate one's own team in the league and influence an entire era.

It is easy to be born into a noble family.

This is something the aristocratic families in the alliance do not want to see.

The cake is only so big, so naturally the number of people dividing the cake should be as few as possible while still being able to eat up the cake steadily.

Therefore, these noble families could only come out and prevent Lin Zhi from being promoted within the rules.

This is the challenge from Li Feilong, the half-legend of the Li family.

Logically speaking, Li Feilong's use of the Divine Ring (the combat power of a half-step legend) to challenge Lin Zhi, who only has the cultivation level of a Saint Crown, is a case of the big bullying the small.

However, the position of deputy minister that Lin Zhi wanted to run for had a minimum cultivation requirement of half-step legendary.

Therefore, the alliance did not directly send a legend to challenge Lin Zhi, which was already giving Meng Xingchen special face.

Lin Zhi did not dare to be careless and placed the Barrier Nut horizontally in front of him.

As a half-step legend from a top-notch family, Li Feilong is definitely not an ordinary half-step legend gardener.

Various secret techniques and methods emerge one after another and cannot be viewed with common sense.

Seeing Lin Zhi unfold his Soul Earth Realm and enter combat mode, Li Feilong also restrained his smile and unfolded his Source Earth Realm as well.

A hazy tree house villa shrouded in white mist appeared in front of Lin Zhi.

The outlines of plants like tall buildings are looming in the white mist.

Li Feilong looked towards Lin Zhi, a piece of soul soil moved forward, and a "big tree" like a meteorite iron pillar appeared in the white mist.

This big tree has black leaves, and on each leaf there is a star map with various patterns made up of stars.

Above the treetops, the stars shine brightly, emitting a soft light.

Golden fruits as big as trucks hang from the treetops.

As Li Feilong gave the order, these golden fruits fell one after another, cracked in the air, melted and shaped into twelve puppets wearing golden armor.

"Is this... the legendary twelve spiritual plants?"

Lin Zhi was surprised.

I didn't expect that the other party's cultivation level was only the Divine Ring (half-step legendary combat power), but the spiritual plants in the soul soil had evolved to the true legendary level.

Although I can't be like teacher Meng Xingchen, because the origin of the world's saplings' feedback directly comes from rushing to the legend.

But with the legendary spiritual plants nourishing oneself, it is probably just a matter of time before one becomes a legend.

"I admit that you are very good. You have grown to your current level with your ordinary gardener's qualifications. However, in this world, hard work cannot make up for the gap between classes!"

The twelve golden armored puppets on Li Feilong slowly surrounded Lin Zhi.

Another new spiritual plant appeared in front of him.

"If hard work is useful, wouldn't my family's accumulation of thousands of years become a joke?"

A tree with half of its crown blooming with pink flowers, and another tree with half of its crown blooming with white flowers appeared in front of him and quickly turned into two long swords.

Lin Zhi recognized this legendary spiritual plant.

It evolved from the combination of Lingjian Tao and Lingjian Li.

It is called Peach and Plum Trees, and is the material for synthesizing Wan Jian Gui Zong.

Outside the arena, there were the headquarters chief commander Zhao Yan and deputy commander Qian Long.

There are seven commanders, Meng Xingchen, Sun Gui, Li Jianlong, Zhou, Wu, Zheng Zaifei and Wang Zhe, nine half-step epics.

As well as the new 20-odd ministers and deputy ministers of the five ministries whose seats have already been confirmed.

In addition to these twenty-odd legends, there are also hundreds of legion commanders with the same legendary cultivation.

The bigwigs in the command center sat on leather seats suspended in the air and watched the scene in the ring.

At this time, a chubby old man next to Meng Xingchen smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, the younger generation of the Li family has a legendary spiritual plant. It seems that your disciple will be defeated!"

"As expected of the Li family, known as the uncrowned king, this young man is just a god-level junior, but he has the combat power of a half-step legend. The Li family deserves to prosper!"

On the side, Li Jianlong from the Li family couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face when he heard the praise.

He laughed and said modestly, "It was purely pushed up by resources. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

Within the arena.

The knowledge in the knowledge tree leaves appeared in Lin Zhi's mind, and he already knew the information about Li Feilong opposite him.

Lotus pedestals blossomed under his feet, forming armor that wrapped around his body.

Ruyi is in hand and turns into a sharp sword.

With the halo shining, he entered into combat state.

"Okay, since you're looking for death, I'll send you back to your birthplace!"

Li Feilong waved his hand, and twelve golden puppets turned into twelve rainbow lights and instantly appeared in front of Lin Zhi.

These golden puppets hold various weapons, including swords, hooks, needles, claws, and staffs. Their armor shines brightly, and their thunderous attacks are like a storm.

Lin Zhi, holding Ruyi, collided with them.

The terrifying recoil force came from the Ruyi in his hand, shaking his arms and making them numb.

But after just one confrontation, he found out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

Sure enough, without the legendary soul realm, the opponent cannot truly unleash the combat power of the legendary spiritual plant.

The realm of cultivation, above the divine ring is a legend.

The limit of the divine environment realm. When the combat power far exceeds the divine ring, it is called "half-step legend".

However, Half-Step Legend is not a realm of cultivation.

But combat effectiveness.

Li Feilong's cultivation had not reached the limit of the Divine Ring at all. He only relied on the legendary spiritual plants to reach the combat power of a half-step legend.

However, he was simply unable to unleash the full combat power of the legendary spiritual plant.

First of all, the soul realm is not good enough.

Secondly, the soul soil cannot support the high-intensity output of the legendary spiritual plants.

You know, the combat power of spiritual plants is mainly maintained by soul soil.

The level of soul soil determines the efficiency of converting energy and resources.

The soul soil of the divine environment can only supply spiritual plants of divine ring quality and the combat consumption of divine ring status.

If it were used to supply the legendary spiritual plants, the energy contained in the soul soil would soon be drained.

Without energy or if its function is interrupted, the legendary spiritual plant will lose its function.

Therefore, Li Feilong is unable to replace the full strength of the spiritual plant, and secondly, he is unable to replace more of the spiritual plant's power.

Only by maintaining the combat power of the legendary spiritual plants at the half-step legendary level can the income and expenditure be balanced and the soul soil maintain a continuous energy supply.

However, legends are legends after all.

These twelve puppets attacked fiercely, their armor was extremely hard, and the weapons in their hands had magical effects.

The opponent couldn't hit him, but he couldn't cause any harm to these puppets either.

Lin Zhi did not dare to be careless. He activated his halo and hid himself in the arena.

In the soul soil, spiritual plants such as the Breathless Grass, Soundless Grass, and Tasteless Grass flickered, covering his tracks.

The way to defend a war is to capture the leader first.

As long as the fragile gardener was killed, these legendary spiritual plants would be destroyed in an instant. As soon as he hid himself, Li Feilong quickly summoned new spiritual plants.

A red rose appeared above his head, and then, above the rose, a graceful and elegant figure emerged.

Her eyes were dull and her face was cold.

He raised the staff in his hand slightly, and the light swept across the arena.

Lin Zhi's figure came out of hiding, and then, black ice formed from under his feet, and his whole body froze instantly.

But in an instant, seven-colored flames rose from his armor and melted the black ice.

Lin Zhi took a leap and rushed forward.

The twelve puppets beside him followed closely and blocked his attack.

puff!
Ruyi suddenly appeared from behind Li Feilong and stabbed at him.

The flying sword pierced through his body, but in an instant, a night-blooming cereus flickered above his head and his condition returned to normal.

Lin Zhi's eyes flashed, and he silently calculated the opponent's remaining cards.

"it's time!"

He immediately burned his soul to improve the quality of the soul soil.

Although it has not yet broken through to the legendary quality, it has already reached the soul soil limit of the divine ring status.

The Ruyi sword in his hand was full of power. He swung it fiercely, and the sword suddenly grew longer, piercing through a golden puppet to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, another Ruyi appeared in his hand.

"This...your fighting power?"

In the distance, Li Fei looked surprised.

Why could he, a holy crown, use the divine ring and spiritual plant to kill his own twelve zodiac puppets with one blow?
"What's so strange about that? My teacher Sheng Mian was able to cross levels and kill a half-step legend, so why can't I do the same?"

Lin Zhi took a step forward, and the Divine Flame Pea appeared beside him.

The violent flaming peas poured towards the spiritual plants in Li Feilong's soul soil.

The queen elf quickly put up her shield to defend against the attack.

Lin Zhi came behind Li Feilong in a flash.

"It's over!"

Ruyi turned into a sledgehammer and smashed down suddenly.

A protective shield was erected on Li Feilong's body.

A super alloy farm appeared below him.

Countless flying swords flew out.

boom!
He flew backwards.

Yuebu continued to pursue the victory and continued to attack the flying dragon.

Outside the ring, someone sighed.

"The outcome is decided. Brother Meng, you have trained an incredible disciple."

"This, how is this possible? Why can he defeat a half-step legend?" Li Jianlong from the Li family had a questioning look in his eyes.

“It’s the ultimate realm!”

Meng Xingchen smiled and said, "This is the foundation. Each of his spiritual plants has perfectly evolved to the divine ring, while you have the resources but cannot do it. This is the gap."

As someone who can cross levels and kill a half-step legend with the Holy Crown, he has the most say.

“The spiritual plant is burning in the blazing sun, and the Holy Crown is condensing a light crown, which will continue to accumulate essence.

Although it has not yet been promoted to legend, it already has a hint of legendary charm.

As for the boy from the Li family, it is said that the spiritual plants were forcibly synthesized with the help of his family, and many of them were temporarily transplanted.

This is a congenital deficiency!"

Meng Xingchen explained slowly.

"I see!"

Someone nodded in sudden realization.

The same spiritual plant may have different spiritual foundations due to different cultivation conditions, such as whether it is cultivated from seeds, whether it has been eradicated or transplanted in the soul soil, and other factors.

Therefore, the same legendary spiritual plant has different strengths.

In the ring, Lin Zhi finally defeated all of Li Feilong's tricks and sent him back to his birth point.

As Li Feilong died and resurrected to his birthplace, a ray of light fell to the ground.

The light was instantly absorbed by the soul soil, and he felt that the spiritual plants in the soul soil absorbed the light and took a step further.

"This... killing a legendary spiritual plant can actually absorb its essence?"

Lin Zhi was surprised to find that the spiritual plants in his soul soil had become more solid because of destroying the other party's five legendary spiritual plants.

At this time, new descendants of aristocratic families flew down to the arena for battle.

"Wang Qiang from the Wang family, I come to challenge Brother Lin, please teach me!"

"Well, please, brother Wang!"

Lin Zhi's eyes focused. Another half-step legend appeared, even more powerful than Li Feilong just now.

However, the Black Lotus of Killing has been activated, and he becomes stronger and stronger as the battle goes on.

As expected, half an hour later, Wang Qiang flew backwards.

……

Outside the arena, the strong men from the aristocratic families frowned.

"Brother Zhao, this is already the 47th member of the noble family, right? Why do I feel like this younger generation is getting stronger the more they fight?"

Commander-in-chief Zhao Yan slowly shook his head.

Of course he knew what was going on.

But he didn't say.

As the leader of the alliance family, he had no objection to Meng Xingchen creating a new family. He even hoped that the other party would create a family that would conflict with other families.

Only through the rise and fall of the lower-level families can the status of the leader's family be maintained.

Three full days passed quickly, and more than three hundred half-step legends challenged Lin Zhi.

However, these half-step legends, due to the forced synthesis of legendary spiritual plants, did not have strong foundation, and instead sent Lin Zhi's spiritual plants to the ninth ring of the divine ring.

Finally, a legend is about to die.

However, Meng Xingchen took action.

One blow severely injures the opponent.

"Everyone, it's better to abide by the alliance rules. If you are not as skilled as others, don't come out and embarrass yourself!"

Meng Xingchen changed his cheerful look and showed a cold expression.

The noble families looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally, they let out a long sigh.

"Give him this position of deputy minister!"

Finally, Commander-in-Chief Zhao Yan made the decision.

……

The next day, Lin Zhi was officially promoted to Deputy Minister of the Intelligence Department, becoming one of the 30 ministers and deputy ministers in the Alliance's Void Battlefield.

His position is second only to the nine people in the command center.

With the arrival of the new year, the plan to capture Qi Yan City was launched again.

This time, he was no longer an executor who recorded the data.

But a data analyst from the Intelligence Department.

He slowly unfolded the Soul Land domain and entered it.

The nine rings of the spiritual plant have solidified and can now combine to become a legend.

However, before the synthesis, he needs to raise his soul realm to the divine ring.

He took out a large number of soul beads and soul stones and began to refine them.

"This time, if I succeed in my promotion, the quality of my soul soil will surpass the Divine Ring and reach legendary quality!"

Lin Zhi felt proud. Finally, he was about to reach the legendary level of combat power.

He absorbed and refined the soul beads one by one, and he felt the transformation of his soul.
