Chapter 358 Life Choice
Qing Wan took small steps and ran to Lu Zheng, tilting her head back and muttering a few words.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng's mind settled in the small world. He dug up some plants, put them into the storage bag, and then handed them to Qing Wan.

Qing Wan took the storage bag and said excitedly, "I'm going to Yaofeng. You can take your time reading here. Oh, by the way, do you want to buy some herbs? They must have some good stuff there..."

Lu Zhengdao said, "Go and take a look. If you don't have enough spirit stones, come back and tell me."

"Uh-huh……"

Qing Wan nodded heavily, then left Wanjing Building at the drop of a hat.

After a few breaths, Qing Wan came back and asked Meng Yuan, "Senior, where is Yaofeng going?"

Meng Yuan didn't even raise his head and waved his hand gently.

Qing Wan only felt that she was wrapped in a spiritual power, and then she flew up like riding a cloud.

Before Qing Wan could react, she had already fallen to the ground.

"Hey?"

Qing Wan turned her head and looked at the unfamiliar mountains in front of her, all of which were filled with rich spiritual energy, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

At this time, a young disciple of the Yunmeng Sect passed by and glanced at Qing Wan.

This disciple had met Qing Wan before at the lecture hall.

Qing Wan looked at the other party and asked with a bow, "Hello, is this Yaofeng?"

The disciple politely said, "This whole mountain is full of medicinal peaks. Who are you looking for here?"

Qing Wan asked, "Who here is the best at growing spiritual herbs?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple couldn't help but say, "Of course it's Elder Yun Shao."

If we talk about who is the best at growing spiritual herbs, it is of course someone at the elder level.

Qing Wan quickly asked, "Oh! Where is Elder Yun Shao? I want to ask for advice!"

"Well..." The disciple said in a low voice with a troubled look on his face, "Elder Yunshao has been busy meeting with outsiders lately. A few days ago, there were guests who wanted to see the elder, but they were all turned away."

"Oh... that was two days ago." Qing Wan said, "Just show me the way. It was the senior from Wanjing Building who asked me to come here to look for someone!"

If Meng Yuan heard what Qing Wan said, he would definitely be speechless.

He asked Qing Wan to come and ask for advice from others, but he didn't say it was in his name.

However, Qingwan’s statement seemed to be correct, as it was Mengyuan who asked her to come here.

When the Yunmeng Sect disciples heard this, they thought Qing Wan was sent by Meng Yuan and that they were related.

He said, "Then come with me!"

"Thank you!" Qing Wan cupped her hands to express her gratitude.

The two men climbed up the mountain one after the other, and soon arrived outside a formation.

There was a hazy fog inside the formation, making it difficult to see clearly.

The Yunmeng Sect disciple whispered, "That's Elder Yun's residence. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

After the Yunmeng Sect disciple finished speaking, he quickly left.

Qing Wan thought for a moment and said, "The senior from Wanjing Tower said there's someone here who's good at spiritual plants, so he asked me to come over and ask for advice. I apologize for disturbing you."

After a few breaths, the fog became wild and a small path appeared.

Qing Wan blinked her eyes, walked into the formation with her short legs, and walked along the road.

Gradually, the scene became clear.

A medicinal field filled with spiritual energy appeared before her eyes. In the field were planted some colorful spiritual medicines, all of which were medicinal herbs that Qing Wan had never seen before.

A woman in peach-colored clothes was exploring a magical medicine with her back to Qing Wan.

"What does Meng Yuan want from me?"

Yun Shao spoke softly, her tone gentle and soft.

Qing Wan couldn't help but say, "I want to cultivate a kind of pea that can cure all diseases. It's easy to grow and grow, and it doesn't require spiritual energy..."

As she spoke, Qing Wan took out the storage bag and carefully took out peas one by one.

"I've bred many varieties, and these are all different..."

Compared to the high-level spiritual medicines in the medicine field, the bean plants that Qing Wan took out were no different from weeds.

However, Qingwan looked serious and introduced the differences of each bean as if they were her own treasures.

Yun Shao glanced sideways and saw the plant Qing Wan took out, and a slight fluctuation appeared in her eyes.

She came closer and used her spiritual sense to examine each pea plant.

Although these pea plants appear ordinary, each one is different and has distinct special features, clearly having been carefully cultivated.

Without a deep understanding of spiritual plants, this cannot be achieved.

"Did you cultivate all these?" Yun Shao asked.

Qing Wan nodded and said, "Lu Zheng and I trained him together!"

Yun Shao didn't know the two of them, so she asked, "Are you new disciples?"

"Huh? No!" Qing Wan shook her head, "We are guests visiting your clan."

"Oh." Yun Shao nodded slightly. "How do you achieve so many differences in these plants?"

Qing Wan said: "Depending on heredity and mutation..."

Qing Wan slowly and steadily explained her own method of upbringing.

She also took out a small notebook specifically for recording and explained everything to Yun Shao carefully and in detail.

Yun Shao narrowed her eyes slightly. She also had some knowledge of what Qing Wan said, but she did not have such detailed records and formal methods as Qing Wan.

"That's pretty much it. Senior, how do you think I should cultivate them?"

Qing Wan held the small notebook and looked at Yun Shao with a look of seeking advice.

Yun Shao said quietly, "It doesn't consume spiritual energy, it's easy to grow and survive, and it can be cultivated on a large scale. This is no easier than growing natural treasures." Qing Wan thought that if it were easy, she wouldn't have to ask for advice everywhere.

Yun Shao thought about it, and with a wave of her hand, a medicinal field not far away changed from a field containing spiritual soil to barren land.

Then, Yun Shao had an idea and planted all the pea plants that Qing Wan brought.

Yun Shao explained, "Ordinary plants like these can't be lump together with spiritual medicines. I need to experiment with growing them first."

"Oh!" Qingwan nodded.

Yun Shao cast a spell to induce childbirth, which also caused mist and rain...

As spells were cast one after another, the fields were now filled with lush bean sprouts that did not interfere with each other.

Qing Wan watched Yun Shao's actions and couldn't help but ask some key points out of curiosity.

Yun Shao patiently explained, then asked curiously, "These are the basics of cultivating spiritual plants. Didn't anyone teach you?"

Qing Wan shook her head and said, "No! I don't have a master. I just read books on my own and figured things out with Lu Zheng."

Yun Shao couldn't help but glance sideways, "You are quite talented."

Qing Wan chuckled, "I'm a pea spirit, so of course I'm good at growing this! Growing other things is quite troublesome..."

Yun Shao suddenly said, "Do you want to join the Yunmeng Sect? I can teach you more."

It was rare to see someone so talented in spiritual plants, and Yun Shao immediately became interested.

"Ah?" Qing Wan was stunned for a moment, then said without hesitation, "I don't want to."

Yun Shao was a little surprised to see Qing Wan refused so bluntly.

There are countless people in the world who want to join the Yunmeng Sect but are unable to do so.

She planned to give Qingwan a chance, but she refused without even thinking about it, which made her confused.

"Why?" Yun Shao couldn't help but ask.

Qing Wan said seriously, "I heard that your Yunmeng Sect has a lot of rules and that you practice in seclusion, not caring about worldly affairs. I also want to cultivate peas that can cure all diseases so that I can treat the people and help Lu Zheng do more things."

The Yunmeng Sect is indeed very good, but Qingwan doesn’t like this kind of practice life and feels that it is meaningless.

It was Lu Zheng again... Yun Shao asked, "What's his background?"

Qing Wan was stunned when she heard this and said, "It doesn't have any background..."

……

"Can I really take that seat?"

An Jing stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at his haggard self in the mirror, feeling a little strange.

Lu Zheng's words not only kept her awake all night, but also made her feel out of sorts due to excessive worrying.

She has truly experienced the taste of power in recent years.

If there ever comes a day when she is asked to give up all her power, it would probably be difficult for her to do so.

"Son of Heaven, the throne..."

An Jing murmured softly, a hint of heat in his eyes.

But when she thought of her father who was in his prime, she felt very conflicted.

"My father is in his prime, and I'm still young. This is a good thing. I have plenty of time to prove to my father and them that I have the ability..."

"When I return this time, perhaps I can talk to my father about this..."

An Jing pondered for a moment, then his expression became firm and he made up his mind.

No matter what, she is willing to give it a try.

After all, the power she has now does not really belong to her and will be taken away sooner or later.

Lu Zhengdu dared to be the first, did so many things, and offended many people. She is not a coward.

If her father does not allow, then she will find another way out and act like Lu Zheng to benefit the people.

"call……"

An Jing took a long breath, his mind was firm and the tired look on his face was gone.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing this, An Jing walked out and opened the gate, only to see Liu Changan standing outside with a smile on his face.

Liu Changan bowed politely and said, "Greetings, Princess An."

"Is there something wrong?" An Jing asked calmly.

Liu Changan said, "I heard that Princess An went to the Wanjing Tower with two new guests yesterday. I guess you two are old acquaintances. Could you please introduce them to me so I can make friends with them?"

Making friends, I'm afraid there are no good intentions, right? An Jing's mind turned.

An Jing said calmly, "I don't know much about them, but I advise you not to have any bad intentions, lest you get into trouble."

Liu Changan's smile remained unchanged, but his expression slightly changed as he asked, "Princess, why do you say that?"

An Jing couldn't help but smile, "Although I don't know much, but I heard that those who offended them never had a good ending."

Hmm? Liu Changan was internally suspicious, but he said, "Is that so? Thank you, Princess, for reminding me."

"Is there anything else?" An Jing asked lightly.

"That's all. Sorry to bother you." Liu Changan said hurriedly.

He felt that the aura of An Jing he met today was much stronger than before, which made him not want to face him directly.

Upon hearing this, An Jing gently closed the gate and went back to the house to rest.

Liu Changan frowned and left quickly.

"Everyone is guarding against people like they are guarding against thieves."

Liu Changan shook his head and sighed, "It's boring, really boring. It would be much better if we were outside, fighting and killing would be so much more interesting..."
