From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 211 Laurel Blossoms

You Ming sat cross-legged inside the cave, and a root of the Azure Divine Tree extended from the void all the way to Zhou Dacheng's house.

This amount of spiritual energy is nothing more than a drop in the ocean for the cave heaven.

But for a newcomer who has just embarked on the path of cultivation, it is undoubtedly a lifeline.

Moreover, the attributes of the Azure Divine Tree are compatible with Zhou Dacheng's Herb Spirit Body. You Ming also wanted to try and see what kind of sprout this seed he had unintentionally planted would grow in the future.

His cultivation level is gradually improving, and he can now be recognized as a great cultivator.

His mindset and perspective were also completely different from before.

Just as Qinglian Jun casually bestowed favors back then, he now does many things on a whim. In the future, they may yield good results or they may yield nothing, but it will not affect him in any way.

Everything follows its natural course, just like the great Dao.

……

Yuanling Mountain is only about 20 miles away from Changning County; they are practically next to each other.

Now that Changning County has been upgraded to a prefecture, it has been renamed Changning Prefecture.

The entire city was expanded, extending several times its original size eastward. Over the past few years, one could almost always see laborers conscripted by the government toiling away on the construction site.

However, all of this has nothing to do with You Ming anymore.

Since the dispute arose over the division of jurisdiction, the two sides have basically stopped interacting.

You Ming didn't have much of an opinion about the original county god, because this matter was not something that a county god like him could decide.

Moreover, in terms of character, this county god is quite good; at least the two cooperated very well during the "Autumn Hunt in Zhenshan".

Nowadays, even if the deities in Changning Prefecture hold any events, they basically won't invite You Ming.

You Ming was happy to have an easier time, spending his days cultivating his qi and honing his supernatural powers, living a carefree and leisurely life.

On this day, he was pondering his supernatural powers in his cave when he suddenly heard Wu Mo send a message saying that the laurel in the nursery on the back mountain was about to ripen.

"Are the laurels ripening soon?"

"Time flies so fast, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

You Ming felt a slight sense of emotion.

The laurel was obtained by him during the "Autumn Hunt in Zhenshan" and was later planted in the nursery.

He had previously instructed his subordinates to notify him if the laurel was about to bloom.

You Ming took a step forward, a crystal floated in front of him, and his figure disappeared instantly, appearing in the nursery on the back mountain the next moment.

In that not-too-large nursery, the fairy-like Miao Mu Tian Xian was diligently casting spells around a crystal-clear osmanthus tree.

Ten years ago, this laurel tree was only a few feet in size, but now it is over ten feet tall.

The branches are covered with abundant flower buds, their surfaces seem to be flowing with moonlight, surrounded by a golden glow, and the air is filled with a captivating fragrance.

Like milk and orchid, rich and mellow.

Surrounding the laurel tree were various kinds of spiritual plants, lush and verdant, clearly well cared for.

"I've met my lord."

When Miao Mutianxian saw You Ming coming over, she quickly bowed.

"You go down."

"You've done well these past years. Go to Wu Mo and collect ten offerings."

You Ming simply nodded and said casually.

Upon hearing this, Miao Mutianxian was overjoyed. Ten incense offerings—this was a fortune she never dared to dream of before; even the monthly stipends of official deities were only ten offerings.

She naturally expressed her deepest gratitude.

After Miao Mutianxian left, Youming came to the laurel tree and poured a stream of magic power into the trunk.

At the same time, the compass was turned on, activating the cheat code "[Fate and Fortune]".

This cheat code allows any plant to drop items when it matures.

You Ming had tried before, but because the quality of the spiritual plants was limited, he mostly got junk.

This laurel tree is of exceptional quality, so he naturally hoped it would drop some fine treasures.

"Crack."

As Youming infused his magic, the entire laurel tree seemed to awaken, and he even heard the very faint sound of flowers blooming.

The branches and leaves danced without wind, and a faint silver light quietly shone through the trunk. The laurel blossoms on the branches bloomed quietly at this moment.

Countless nearly transparent petals, like a piece of light gauze peeled off the moon, breathe and exude a faint fragrance as the light shimmers.

The fragrance gently spread, immersing the entire nursery in a soft and tranquil atmosphere.

As the flowers bloomed, the moonlight grew even brighter, cascading down onto the laurel tree like a gentle stream.

This scene was so beautiful that it made people hold their breath.

However, You Ming's will was strong, and even the beauty of the laurel blossoms could not shake his mind in the slightest.

With a flick of his sleeve, You Ming activated the ability of [Infinite Weight] in an instant. It was as if countless grids appeared in the void, and countless mature flowers fluttered up and were collected into the grids.

In the blink of an eye, all the osmanthus blossoms on the laurel tree were taken away, leaving only translucent branches and trunk.

These laurel flowers are naturally unparalleled medicinal treasures, and are the most precious materials whether used for alchemy or brewing wine.

It can nourish the mind, dispel inner demons, and stabilize thoughts, making it extremely precious.

Just as all the osmanthus blossoms were picked, suddenly, an extra ray of moonlight descended.

The moonlight seemed to form a passage, and a chariot, entirely silver-white and as if formed from moonlight, descended directly from the heavens.

The chariot's overall outline resembles a crescent moon, with its body made of black iron and covered with moonstone skin. Its surface has a faint silver light that flows slowly, like the undulating moonlight.

The vehicle has two wheels on both sides, which seem to be carved from millennia-old cold crystals. The wheel hubs are inlaid with flowing moon springs, which surge up silver waves with each turn.

The front of the chariot is carved with the head of a four-cornered moon-shaped unicorn, which is fierce and majestic, yet also agile.

Nine silver ribbon-like tail feathers hang from the rear of the vehicle, swaying gently in the wind, ethereal and mysterious.

A phantom moon always floated behind the entire chariot, clear and bright, looking sacred and powerful.

You Ming remained unmoved when the laurel blossoms, but now, upon seeing this chariot, a surge of excitement welled up within him.

Even with his Dharma Aspect realm, he could sense the power of this chariot, as if it were a top-tier mythical creation, inspiring awe and wonder.

You Ming's figure blurred, and he appeared in front of the chariot.

Even before he got close, he could feel the icy chill emanating from it.

He gently stroked the chariot, and the moonlight on it trembled and rippled like flowing water.

When he poured divine power into it, the four-cornered moon-shaped creature carved on the front of the chariot suddenly came to life. Its ruby-inlaid eyes suddenly became bright and spirited. Then it leaped forward and transformed in an instant into a robust creature that resembled both a qilin and a wild bull.

Its feet tread on moonlight, and it spews stardust from its nostrils, seemingly unable to contain its inner turmoil, ready to pull its chariot toward the enemy's thousands of troops.
