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

Chapter 212: Forbidden Immortal Path
Qingshi County, City Lord’s Mansion.

A group of foundation-building monks gathered together.

The Lord of Qingshi City sat alone on a high position, his eyes fixed on the old woman below.

"Friend Wang, is this recipe authentic and correct?"

"It is absolutely true. With this recipe, we can change the qualifications of the younger generations of our family. It will be no problem for us to give birth to Jindan cultivators in the future. The city lord probably doesn't want to experience the disaster of this year, where the gods fight and the mortals suffer!"

The old woman narrowed her eyes and said.

"Yes! This group of powerful people don't regard us low-level cultivators as human beings! In order to hunt a golden crow, the whole Pingchuan Prefecture was destroyed by the double sun in the sky, and all the people were devastated. As a result, all the independent cultivators joined the Taiping Dao and caused chaos in Pingchuan Prefecture. If there were Jindan cultivators among us, how could we be so passive?"

"Well, there are gods in heaven and the underworld, so don't say too much. Since Brother Wang is sure that this recipe is true, we must give it a try no matter what. Everyone, do you have any information about the raw materials of this tender beef?" The city lord said in a deep voice, scanning the people present.

These people are all the heads of the major immortal cultivation families in Qingshi County, and they have the foundation-building cultivation level.

"I have a yellow ox monster at home, which I use to cultivate the spiritual fields. If... if I can't find it, the worst that can happen is that I will sacrifice it!" an old man gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, Mr. Liu, you are so righteous! If this is accomplished, I will not let you down!"

The city lord was overjoyed.

"In the Taixuan Mountains a hundred miles away, I once saw a black bull. You can send someone to look for it."

"I remember there was a clue about the white bull in Sanchuan County..."

"Then finally there is the red bull and the green bull. Do you have any clues?"

"City Lord, this blue bull and red bull has the blood of ancient wild beasts, which have long been extinct in the mortal world. If you want to obtain it, I'm afraid you have to go to the secret realm."

"Yes, the Luotian Secret Realm is about to open, and there may be remnants of wild beasts."

……

A year later, Lin Zhi met Old Lady Wang, who had just returned from Luotian Secret Realm and was on the verge of death.

At this time, Lin Zhi had already married Wang Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, and became one of the decision-makers of the Wang family.

Seeing that all the core members of the Wang family were present, Old Lady Wang waved her hand and closed the door.

She wiped her storage bag, and 100 jade boxes flew out.

"This is the Tender Beef Five Recipes. Because it uses the blood of the ancient blue ox, the effect is surprisingly good. Only one portion is needed to cleanse inferior spiritual roots into low-grade spiritual roots. If you eat 10 portions, they can become mid-grade spiritual roots. As for more, there will be no effect."

"Ahem, you, you take these and use them to train the younger generation. I will go into seclusion and hang on to my last breath to protect...protect the future of our family!"

……

After obtaining the Five Ingredients of Tender Beef, Lin Zhi and Wang Lingyu successfully cleansed their spiritual roots and reached the middle-grade spiritual roots.

With the support of the Wang family, he and the two women lived happily together, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Lin Zhi opened his eyes from the secret room.

He successfully broke through the Qi training and completed the foundation building.

There is no such thing as a foundation-building pill. There is no such thing as a foundation-building pill in this world.

Relying only on food supplements, he reached the foundation-building stage.

Lin Zhi felt that the foundation building was different from the Red Moon Body Refining Realm in the alliance. The foundation building did not increase physical strength but the life level.

This is why even the Alliance’s Divine Ring has a lifespan of less than 500 years.

The reason why the gods of the Xiantai Continent have a lifespan of three thousand years.

As he practiced the immortal cultivation technique, he increasingly felt the incompleteness of the Gardener's system, which was like a castrated version of the cultivation system.

In addition to the improvement in his cultivation over the past ten years, his greatest gain was the spiritual plants in the bodies of Wang Lingnu and the other girl.

They successfully transformed the Dantian of the two women, allowing them to obtain "spiritual bodies".

According to this world, Wang Lingyu possesses the spiritual plant Qinghui Yueyun, whose magical power can calm the mind and soul, and heal and restore, so it is called the "Qinghui Yueyun" body.

Wang Qingqing possesses the "hallucinogenic poppy" and her magic power is full of charm, so she is called the "Charming Body".

The spiritual roots of the two women were also affected by their physical conditions, rising from medium to high quality, and then to top quality.

So, as early as three years ago, the two women successfully established their foundation.

Seeing them building their foundation, Old Lady Wang breathed a sigh of relief and left with satisfaction.

Now, the Wang family has three people who have established their foundation, and has become the third largest family in Qingshizhen.

Over the past ten years, Lin Zhi has made many efforts to produce various innovative spiritual materials, making the Wang family a well-known supplier of raw materials in dozens of surrounding counties. Lin Zhi's own reputation as a "spiritual material genius" has also spread widely.

At this time, Lin Zhi met the city lord and took out a "Nascent Soul Cultivator's Inheritance" forged by the Hall of Knowledge.

Although the inheritance is forged, the content is indeed true.

The inheritance includes a method of reverse cultivation of the original body, a newly optimized method that can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, and a recipe for a supreme immortal dish for cleansing spiritual roots.

Then there are hundreds of recipes for magical dishes with various effects.

He stated his goal, which was to marry the city lord's granddaughter.

Seeing that Lin Zhi took the initiative to propose marriage, and seeing that such a talent was rare, the city lord readily agreed, and the two quickly reported the wedding.

At this point, the Wang family had established close relations with the city lord. Lin Zhi "invented" spiritual materials for the foundation-building stage from time to time. The industry was booming and his reputation spread throughout Pingchuan Prefecture.

Lin Zhi also got what he wanted, and through the immortal food, his spiritual roots reached the highest level.

Then, through dual cultivation, his spiritual roots broke through to the upper level and reached the ultimate level.

In just 10 years, Lin Zhi's three wives successfully formed the elixir, and 5 years later, Lin Zhi also succeeded in forming the elixir.

After forming the elixir, Lin Zhi was invited by the city lord to go to Pingchuan Prefecture.

There is a Yuanying in Pingchuan Prefecture, and the city lord was born into one of the Yuanying families, the "Li Family".

As a foundation-building cultivator, the city lord was not taken seriously. Only after he became friends with Lin Zhi did the people in the clan start to take him seriously.

Lin Zhi took his three daughters to Pingchuan Prefecture and joined the Li family as guest officials.

Lin Zhi continued to display his talents, and after several years, he won the favor of the daughter of the head of the Li family. Soon, during an experience outside, his relationship with her warmed up and he got a pass.

With the help of the Li family's background and resources, it took him less than fifty years to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

He became the seventeenth Yuanying of the Li family. The previous thirteen to sixteen were his four wives.

Currently, due to his spirit species, his fighting power is not as good as that of the four ladies.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and on the alliance side, Lin Zhi reached the realm of refining emptiness.

Lianxu corresponds to the legend of the gardener. When Lin Zhi was promoted to Lianxu, he felt the difference between Lianxu and the legend.

At this time, he also understood why the Xiantai Continent had a brilliant record and was able to fight against many enemies at once without losing.

The reason lies in the two words "Lianxu".

The so-called "refining the void" means refining the void outside the world.

However, the powerful cultivators of the Xiantai Continent are not directly in the void, but in the "Fairyland". They refine the void indirectly through the yin and yang harmony with the cultivators of the same level who possess "soul soil" and the growth of spiritual plants.

The void is the root of all things. The void energy and matter have evolved the heavens and myriad worlds, and billions of materials.

The process of refining the void is actually the process of evolving all things. As the level of refining the void improves, Lin Zhi's perception of things is also improving.

He gradually mastered the divine runes.

The divine runes are the embodiment of the laws of the Great Dao. Through the divine runes, Lin Zhi gradually deduced the Taoist method of refining soul soil and incorporating it into his Dantian.

He unfolded the Soul Land domain and entered into the Soul Land.

Now, through the perspective of an immortal cultivator, he immediately discovered the weirdness of the soul soil. This soul soil had too many traces of "artificial carving"!

Especially since it is bound to the gardener's soul and can allow the gardener to enter and exit the world at will, it is really too weird.

Soon, he discovered a transparent "thread", or something like a mental network.

The atmosphere of this spiritual network made him feel somewhat familiar.

Using the "sharp blade" condensed by the divine patterns, he quickly cut the thread.

As the thread was cut, he was horrified to find that the light film outside the soul land quickly dissipated.

This light film is the key to protecting the soul soil from being eroded by the turbulence of the void and enabling the exchange of matter inside and outside.

Once the light film disappears, the soul soil may be fine, but he and most of the spiritual plants in the soul soil will probably be destroyed by the violent turbulence of the void.

Fortunately, at the moment the silk thread disappeared, he found that he could use magic to make light work of heavy objects and to "move" the soul soil through telekinesis.

The previous soul land seemed to be rammed into the void, unable to move, and could only move with the world.

Now the soul soil can be easily moved by him and then stuffed into the purple palace in his dantian.

As the soul soil entered the purple palace in his dantian, his whole person changed rapidly.

Countless divine patterns appeared out of thin air, and his mind became extremely clear.

At this moment, Lin Zhi felt that his spirit and soul, soul and flesh, and flesh and spirit had achieved a perfect unity.

If humans are also divided into evolutionary levels, he can say that he is now a "perfect body".

With a thought, Lin Zhi appeared in the void in the next moment.

The violent void currents rushed towards his body, but the imagined destruction did not come.

His entire body floated in the turbulence of the void. Countless void energy substances were absorbed by his pores, poured into his meridians, entered the soul soil of his dantian purple mansion, and were then absorbed and refined by the soul soil.

Most of it is supplied to the spiritual plants, and a small part overflows into the Dantian and flows along the meridians to the limbs and bones.

Then, he discovered that the soul soil was actually actively absorbing the divine patterns in the void, slowly improving its own quality.

“This, this, this… If the soul soil continues to be absorbed, won’t it be able to grow to the mythical, miraculous, and immortal levels on its own?”

He felt surprised, but also a little scared.

Is it good or bad for this soul land to practice automatically?
……

At the moment when Lin Zhi was promoted to the realm of refining emptiness and cut off the spiritual thread.

Dog Lovers Association, a projection of a beautiful woman appeared above the throne.

Soon, several figures appeared in the hall below.

"No, this will destroy this era! Quick, stop him and bring him to see me!"

"President, what's going on?" Big Head Whale asked hurriedly.

"You don't understand, just bring him here!"

The woman waved her hand, and Lin Zhi's appearance appeared.

"Ah, it's my nephew!"

Whale Kill said in surprise.

"Then you should contact him quickly. Once he transcends the tribulation and becomes an immortal, this era will be over!"

"Overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal? What does that mean?"

Whale Kill was curious, but the president had disappeared.

"Well, it seems that I have no choice but to contact Lin Zhi first."

Whale Kill immediately dialed Lin Zhi’s number.

"Nephew Xian, my guild master wants to see you!"

"President? To see me?"

Lin Zhi showed confusion on his face, but he also wanted to meet the president of the Dog Lovers Association to find out what methods he used to brainwash a group of loyal supporters.

Soon, he appeared in the "secret place" where the Dog Lovers Association was located.

"Nephew, please come this way. Hahaha, this is your first time here. Let me introduce you. This is the meeting hall of our Dog Lovers Association. Do you see these sculptures? There are 366 sculptures of all sizes. They represent the stars."

Whale Kill introduced it to Lin Zhi enthusiastically.

It was not because of the relationship between the two, but because of the joy of completing the task of the chairman. In addition, during the past hundred years when Lin Zhi was in power and the infinite skynet was covering the alliance, the alliance was truly fair, clean and without oppression, and the noble families were dormant.

The goal of the Dog Lovers Association seemed to be accomplished silently by Lin Zhi.

Soon, Lin Zhi arrived at the main hall, and saw a beautiful woman slowly emerging from the stone statue above the hall.

The moment he saw the other person, Lin Zhi was shocked.

In a flash, he guessed three-quarters of the truth.

Subconsciously, I want to activate quantum teleportation and escape.

However, the next moment, the other party called him.

"Don't worry. If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead. After all, I am the world!"

Lin Zhi stopped.

Sure enough, I guessed it right!

He turned his head and looked at the woman with a smile on his face, and said, "So why did you call me here, Senior?"

"I will stop you from continuing to practice the immortal arts. This is a forbidden path, not the right path! If you practice it, it will only bring disaster to the heavens and the worlds. This era will be destroyed because of you!"

The beautiful woman said solemnly.

"what?"

Lin Zhi was surprised, then laughed and said, "Senior, are you trying to trick me?
This immortal technique is so perfect that it allows my body, soul and spirit to be perfectly united, and it also gives me a complete future. How can it be a forbidden path?

If you are truly the consciousness of this world, you should know that I am a time traveler.

In my home planet Earth, there are similar literary works. This immortal method points directly to the great way!"

Hearing Lin Zhi's question, the beautiful woman showed sadness.

She said slowly, "The Immortal Law is indeed a great way to heaven, but it does not prevent it from becoming a forbidden road! Do you know why I have fallen to this point? Do you also know why I want to transform into the world? Do you know why the immortal creatures of the previous era fell? Do you know why there is a gardener system now?"

Lin Zhi quickly shook his head and said, "Please give me an answer, Senior."

"I only have a partial understanding of the truth of the matter. I only know that this void where all the heavens and myriad worlds are located originated from the God of Creation."

The beautiful woman said slowly, "The God of Creation opened up the void, and he transformed himself into endless void matter and energy.

These substances and energies gave birth to immortal beings like us. We practiced the immortal methods passed down by the God of Creation and quickly reached a high level. Due to limited resources, we started killing each other. In the end, only 129,600 immortal beings survived.

After who knows how many years had passed, an immortal creature successfully broke through the realm and achieved eternity. Then, the nightmare began!"

The beautiful woman couldn't stop trembling and said, "The moment he became eternal, a black light cut through the void. The second moment he became eternal, he completely lost his vitality and turned into an eternal continent."

“That’s not all. When this black light burst out, several powerful immortal creatures nearby were also affected. They instantly lost their vitality and turned into immortal continents.

We immortals were too weak to get close to the ceremony, so we escaped. To find out the truth, we explored the void and found a manual in the deepest part..."
