Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Chapter 53: A Cunning Recruitment Show – Old Silver Coin's Behind-the-Scenes Schemes

Inside the main hall.

The atmosphere was somewhat strange, and both Dongdaozi and his companion fixed their gazes on Ning'e.

Swish!

Suddenly, Qing Shuzi flicked his finger, and the Daoist aura spread out lightly like ripples. Zhou Ning'e, who had just sat down, had no time to react before she was shaken by a gentle and profound Daoist technique and instantly moved to Qing Shuzi's front!

He squinted and scrutinized him from head to toe.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Tu was suddenly startled and realized something was wrong.

It seems that Ning'e's hidden agricultural spiritual potential has indeed attracted the attention of the great Taoist cultivators!

Over the years, Ning'e has actually shown signs of entering the Dao more than once. The last time she helped him finish weaving the straw figure was only the first time. After that, she showed signs many times, but each time she was just a little bit short!

This situation left Jiang Tu feeling anxious and helpless.

Why is it always just a little bit short? He was genuinely curious about what kind of agricultural foundation his wife had been cultivating for so many years would be, and what kind of amazing talent she would possess, but unfortunately, she had never succeeded.

However... now it seems that failing to enter the Dao is actually a good thing. At least it avoids the possibility of being directly chosen by two great cultivators and selected by the Daoist sect for cultivation. There is still room for maneuver!

He abruptly stood up, astonished and puzzled, and said, "Master Daoist, this—"

Zhou Ning'e's face also turned pale, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

This magic is beyond the ordinary; it is indeed powerful and domineering, leaving no room for refusal!

At this crucial moment, however, she calmed down before Jiang Tu, fearing that her husband might reveal his cultivation level to stand up for her. She proactively smiled and reassured Jiang Tu, "Husband, don't panic. The Daoist Master doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me."

Uncle Qing did not speak, but simply looked down at her.

There were no other outrageous or inappropriate actions. His gaze was like that of an elder looking down on a junior, or a superior looking at a child. There was no evil intention to invade or invade, nor did he release his senses to explore in depth. He only scrutinized the child with a light touch.

Dongdaozi also took a half step closer, as if he had noticed something.

The two looked at each other and communicated silently.

"It seems... Brother Dao has also sensed it! This woman harbors a very unique spiritual energy of the agricultural path! She seems completely different from ordinary agricultural cultivators, vaguely containing some kind of mysterious opportunity! It's a pity that we can't see through her like looking at flowers through fog... Alas, we know too little about the agricultural path, so it's understandable that we can't see through it."

"Then... what does Junior Brother think? Should we take him as a disciple and cultivate him?"

Uncle Qing remained silent for a moment.

"It's a pity... If this girl had the foundation of my Daoist sect, I would be more than happy to take her as a disciple and nurture her carefully. But this happens to be an opportunity for the agricultural path, and you know I've always been wary of anything that might develop too quickly. I really don't want to see it grow too fast and unnecessarily seize this young girl's opportunity, forcing it to grow too fast."

"Indeed, if it's a Daoist sect with a strong foundation, they will naturally recruit you. But for the agricultural path... it's best to suppress it! I observe that this girl is already thirty-five years old. Even if she truly has great potential, she may not amount to much. However... if she does show signs of rising, it's best to nip it in the bud."

"Brother Dao, recite the same words as me!"

Once the two had made up their minds, they stopped using their magic. Qing Shuzi flicked his finger again, and Zhou Ning'e was gently pushed back to Jiang Tu's side.

Jiang Tu quickly reached out to support his wife, asking with concern, "Are you alright, my wife?"

"My lord, rest assured, I am unharmed."

Uncle Qing stood up, straightened his Taoist robe, and bowed to Jiang Tu. His hair and beard were all white, and his face was thin. His bow was upright and composed, showing the demeanor of an immortal.

"Young Brother Jiang, please forgive me. I was eager to learn from your talent, and I have indeed been abrupt and offensive... I hope you and your wife will forgive me."

Dong Daozi also rose, flicked his whisk, and bowed, saying, "My junior brother here is naturally impulsive; he can't resist a promising talent. Please forgive him!"

Jiang Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that even when Taoist masters are out in public, they still maintain a facade of dignity and integrity.

He continued to feign confusion and bewilderment: "Master Daoist, you flatter me. I dare not presume... but I beg you to enlighten my wife and me... what exactly is wrong with my wife?"

Zhou Ning'e also appeared completely bewildered. The couple exchanged no glances or words, yet their actions were perfectly in sync, as if they were pretending to be ignorant commoners who knew nothing.

"Yes, Daoist Master, I have known since childhood that I have no innate talent for cultivation. Over the years, my husband and I have lived a simple life farming and have never encountered any extraordinary opportunities... How come you call me a promising talent? I don't understand."

"What I'm referring to isn't the inherent qualities of a Daoist, but rather the potential of the agricultural path! In recent years, have you come into contact with any cultivators practicing the agricultural path? Have you received any teachings on the agricultural path? Have you attended any lectures at the Yingfeng City Agricultural Academy?"

"Agronomy?"

Zhou Ning'e was taken aback and instinctively began to think.

She had certainly been to Yingfeng City and knew that Rongzhai Agricultural School was now making a great fuss and was being discussed all over the city about spreading the teachings and enlightening the innate wisdom. But she was thinking about other things. Many seemingly unintentional clues came together and gradually became clear.

Over the years, her husband has had her work in the fields, teaching her to identify soil types and observe the weather, to recognize herbs and refine elixirs, and to cultivate superior seeds...

Looking back now, isn't this just agronomy?!

On the night the straw man was enlightened, she personally inserted the needle, and her husband casually enlightened and brought it back to life. This was not the farming cultivation method rumored by the outside world, but farming cultivation is not necessarily impossible!

And the earth escape technique my husband used is a perfect example of agricultural cultivation magic!

And the most crucial empirical evidence right now!

The two Taoist priests had arrived. Her husband was outwardly attentive, but his attitude was different from usual. Outsiders couldn't tell, but she, as his wife, saw it clearly... It was tension, a barely perceptible fear!

If her husband were truly a Taoist disciple, he shouldn't react this way to someone from his own sect; he should at least be much calmer! Even if he had killed a Taoist before, he wouldn't be so overly cautious.

Unless, my husband isn't actually from a Taoist sect at all! Everything he said before was a pretense!

So, all these years, her husband has been teaching her agronomy? He hopes she can also awaken her innate wisdom and stay with him through the mortal world?

She was an exceptionally intelligent person, and at this moment, a sudden flash of insight made all her doubts clear. Many conclusions flashed through her mind, but she controlled them effortlessly, without revealing a trace of them.

She lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "I know nothing about agronomy... I come from a farming family and only know how to work in the fields with my husband. In my spare time, I travel with caravans to supplement our income. I have never heard of or seen anything about farming... Besides, I am already past the age of early learning and enlightenment. How could I dare to hope for any awakening of innate wisdom?"

"I only plan to spend the rest of my life honestly farming and living a simple life. I never thought about these things, and I'm afraid I've made you two Daoists laugh at me."

Qing Shuzi and Dong Daozi exchanged a glance and nodded secretly.

it is good!very good!

Talented but unaware of it, honest and unambitious... In a few years, youth will fade, beauty will wither, and life will be over! The so-called agricultural opportunities will be wasted even if they want to develop.

Uncle Qing feigned regret, shaking his head and sighing.

"What a pity, Brother Jiang. Your wife could have made a name for herself in agriculture, but the two of you are a harmonious and peaceful couple, a blessing that is hard to find in this world... There is no better than a divine couple. My brother and I have wasted sixty years living in seclusion in the mountains, detached from worldly affairs. Seeing your happy life, we can't help but feel a little envious."

Jiang Tu was amazed.

When it comes to acting, you Taoists are the real actors! A highly skilled cultivator like you can put on such a show!

Dong Daozi slowly stood up, reached into his sleeve, and pulled out a copper whistle, handing it to Jiang Tu.

"Brother Jiang, if one day your wife truly awakens to her innate wisdom and exhibits unusual signs, you may blow this whistle. At that time, a messenger from our Daoist sect will come to meet you. Just mention my name and that of Daoist Qingjiao, and I will guarantee her future as an inner disciple!"

Jiang Tu was flattered: "You two Daoist masters are so kind to my wife; we, along with our wife, are deeply grateful—"

Uncle Qing also pulled a heavy cloth bag from his sleeve and tossed it over casually.

"It is fate that we have met. I have never liked owing favors. Since you cherish the fertile land and have given me a meal, I will give you these good seeds. May you have good weather and abundant harvests every year, and may you and your husband live in harmony."

"We two Taoist priests bid farewell here. Please take care."

"Take care of yourself."

After saying this, the two bowed and left, their figures flashing as they swept over the courtyard wall and disappeared into the distant horizon.

The courtyard fell silent in an instant.

Jiang Tu stood in the courtyard, clutching his whistle and cloth bag, slowly exhaling a heavy sigh of relief.

Splash!

He casually opened the cloth bag, and even with his extensive knowledge and calm demeanor, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

The bag was packed full of high-quality herb seeds!

There were over a thousand grains, each one glossy, plump, and exuding a rich medicinal fragrance... Frost Grass Seeds... Crimson Vine Seeds... Nine-Leaf Cherry Orchid Seeds... Holy crap! There were even Five-Colored Ginseng, which only appeared in the Evolutionary Diary!

He has been operating underground farmland for many years, growing and harvesting his own crops, but so far he has only managed to cultivate a mere three or four valuable and high-quality medicinal herbs worthy of praise.

But such rare and high-quality medicinal herbs were everywhere in this medicine bag, and any one of them was equivalent to, or even better than, his top-quality herbs!

Based on his own cultivation of agricultural techniques, he could sense that these seeds were genuine high-quality seeds, without any hidden dangers.

As a highly accomplished Taoist cultivator, if he encountered someone he wanted to kill while traveling, he would simply raise his hand and kill them. He wouldn't stoop to tampering with the seeds. These seeds were mostly obtained by these two people from their travels throughout Jiangzhou, and they were given to him casually.

Arrogant!

That's incredibly extravagant!

Is this the source of Taoism's confidence?

Ordinary people would probably regard today's experience as a mysterious stroke of luck, talking about it with great relish. A mysterious Taoist master came to their door, ate a meal, checked the cultivation aptitude of their family members, casually tossed out a large bag of priceless high-quality medicinal seeds, and then left in a carefree manner.

Isn't this just like the adventure plot of a fantasy novel? But only Jiang Tu knew just how dangerous the situation was today. If he and his wife made even the slightest mistake, they could face annihilation.

To be honest, if he hadn't known about the filth and secrets of the Taoist sect, he would never have believed that the seemingly refined and virtuous Taoist priest, Green Pepper, could be a ruthless killer...

This acting skill has reached a state of perfection, or rather, in the eyes of the great Taoist masters, all ordinary people in the world are nothing more than cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and they don't care about their life or death at all.

This indifference is more chilling than premeditated murder!

He looked at Ning'e beside him. After this incident, Ning'e had probably guessed most of his true situation. The lies of the Taoist cultivator could no longer be concealed. However, Ning'e just smiled and took his hand, saying.

"My lord, there are truly a lot of those seeds. It would probably take a whole large plot of land to plant them all. Let's expand the underground fields together."

"Alright."

A couple with perfect understanding needs no further words.

it is more than words.

pat.

He weighed the packet of high-quality seeds in his arms, his mind wandering.

Today's hurdle is halfway over...

buzzing.

buzzing.

At this moment, deep within his consciousness, the Sequence Golden Strategy was still trembling. The two great cultivators who seemed to have left were actually hiding in the shadows. How insidious!

Sure enough, those that qualify for major repairs are all old silver coins!
