Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 279 White Tiger's Knife
The moment the White Tiger completed the transformation of his Taoist foundation, the lightning in the sky no longer accumulated.

No matter how much desire there is in the Way of Heaven, it is still rigid.

Dealing with "Taoist thieves" and dealing with "enemy Taoism" are two completely different mechanisms. Now that Baihu's household registration has been cancelled from the Southern Wilderness to an international cultivator, the mark of the Heavenly Dao on him has become a normal bounty for the enemy of Taoism.

Of course, it’s higher than the usual bounty.

Chen Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. Brother Huzi was unexpectedly powerful. He spent less mana than he expected, and the inventory was not consumed at all. It could be replenished in two or three days.

In case he is not strong enough, this incarnation of his only has 15% of the spiritual consciousness, and can only control this amount of magic power. He can only last for a few days at most when dealing with the increasing power of the Heavenly Dao.

Not far away, two huge demons saw that the White Tiger had accomplished his mission, stared at it deeply, and then retreated.

Retreat thousands of miles away.

The black-armored elephant monster raised its head and neighed. Soon, a purple-feathered eagle descended from the sky and landed in front of it.

"I'm waiting for you. You're too slow." The purple-feathered eagle made a sharp sound.

"My escape technique has reached perfection, but I'm still no match for you guys with wings." The Black-Armored Elephant said in a dull voice.

Among the monsters, the strongest ones are those with wings.

The inherited skills of the demon race are very different from those of humans. Most of them are based on strengthening certain features such as scales, wings, claws, teeth, etc.

Even if there are racial differences, it doesn’t matter, as long as there are parts with similar functions, the main focus is on modular practice.

In other words, humans can actually practice magic, and they just need to find the corresponding strengthening modules. Of course, ordinary monsters can only do it in 'bulk', while those noble bloodlines with a long heritage will have a complete set of systematic 'inheritance sets'.

The obstacles within the demon race are no less than those within the human race. There is a watershed between ordinary demon beasts and the demon race. There is another watershed between the demon beasts that have been transformed through their orifices and the natural demon race. For the natural demon race, there are watersheds one after another depending on the strength of their bloodline and ethnicity.

Based on these, those who were born to fly in the sky have always been superior to those who run on the ground, the bird school, the beast school, the plant school and the biological school, the egg-laying school, the moisture-laying school... it's really enough to make people's scalp tingle.

Purple Feathered Eagle said in a cold voice: "This group of newly fallen humans are totally ignorant and have openly violated the taboos of the Ancestral God Mountain. We must not remain indifferent to the conversion of the demon race no matter what!"

The black-armored elephant expressed his approval and added: "That White Tiger must die."

"I will go inform Zushen Mountain, and you contact the nearby great monsters. It's time to teach the human race a lesson."

Say it.

Break through the clouds and leave.

The black-armored elephant looked back in the direction of the An Ning Society, swung its trunk, sprayed out a curtain of water, and its figure disappeared in it.

……

at this time.

The tiger sits on the mountain.

"Huzi, let me ask you, is there any way to alleviate the situation of the demon tribes that are all possessed by demons?"

Chen Jing first asked himself what his main purpose was.

Baihu said: "The evil thoughts of the Great Dao have been weakened by all kinds of acquired ways. This seat deliberately guided them, but it only temporarily triggered them and made them possessed by the devil for a while. We just need to prevent them from spreading, and there will be no new demons possessed by the devil on a large scale."

"In other words, just wait for the time to come."

"Hmph, that's right."

"Then tell me about your problem."

Chen Jing snapped his fingers, and the surroundings made popping sounds, and mud, rocks, and grass were condensed into tables and chairs by magic.

He sat in his chair and leaned back.

The first-grade "Tables and Chairs: Deluxe Edition" of Yunxue Academy's life spells can condense common materials into tables and chairs that last for half a quarter of an hour. There are twelve sets of tables and chairs. After careful adjustment by the spell author, many changes and bug fixes have been made, which have been well received and included in the "Picnic Series Spells 3.0". This year, it was nominated for Yunxue Academy's top most useful spells of the year.

Then the light descended, and the three Dharma-phase masters of the An Ning Society sat on their chairs, staring at the white tiger.

Baihu had just changed his foundation, and his realm was still at the third level of perfection… Although his foundation was at the Dharmakāya level, he was still under a lot of pressure facing the scrutiny of the crowd.

"If you want to kill me or chop me up, I will take it." Baihu said with his head held high, under pressure.

"hehe."

Dragon scales appeared on Yan Lingxi's arms, and the dragon's might pressed down on the white tiger, causing its limbs to sink.

Anger flashed in the white tiger's eyes, and its limbs trembled like sieves under the huge dragon power, but it still held its neck high.

"What about Dragonborn? You are not a true dragon. Don't even think about making me submit!"

"Eh~"

Chen Jing waved his hand, letting Yan Lingxi dissipate his pressure, and said with a smile: "Don't bully Brother Huzi. We don't want him to surrender. It would be bad if there was a misunderstanding."

"Ok?"

Yan Lingxi gave him a strange look instead.

Don't want to conquer?
Look at the people around you, including herself, they basically all come from “villain” backgrounds.

Chen Jing really didn't want to tame the White Tiger, and he hesitated for a long time.

Then he spoke slowly.

"Huzi, we have never met before, but you have plenty of time to inquire and learn how kind I am. I see that although you have successfully changed your foundation, your life span has been reduced. If you do not recover to the Dharma Realm within 30 years, you will surely die."

"So what? Three hundred years of wasted time in exchange for thirty years of freedom is enough."

"..."

Chen Jing was speechless.

When this guy dies and is cremated, I guess you can still pick out his mouth. It's the toughest part of his body.

Fortunately.

He really doesn't intend to take this troublemaker down, so there's no need to worry about it.

"I'll show you the way."

"Oh?"

"You have interpreted Chen's Thick Earth Way into a new path. As the saying goes, those who benefit from the Way will be rewarded. Now that my Thick Earth Way is in its infancy, you have made a new breakthrough. Tell me, should I reward you?"

"If you want to say something, just tell me directly. I have seen everything."

"Okay!" Chen Jingmeng slapped the armrest and said in a serious tone, "I like your straightforward attitude, Huzi. I'm going to be frank. I admire you very much and want to invest in your business! A big investment, a huge investment!"

"???"

"Although you and I are of different races, our paths have something in common. However, I have chosen the path of science, technology, and cultural influence. Even if you stay with me, I won't give you any room to develop. Instead of that, why don't you start your own business and practice your path? How do you do that?"

Although Chen Jing ended with a question, he did not give the other party room for further consideration and response.

He stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"In Zushen Mountain, heroes are judged by their bloodline, but in the universe, are there more monsters or monster beasts? One percent of the monsters occupy ninety-nine percent of the resources. Countless wild monsters that have stood out have no choice but to bow their heads. Huzi, you have created a breakthrough method of exchanging the killing of civilians, which is why you stand out..."

"That's Liu Chang...Huh? Where's Liu Chang?!"

"He's dead. Forget about that accomplice. Let's continue talking."

Actually not dead.

But when Chen Jing saved the white tiger, he slapped Liu Chang to death. What a joke. It is natural for monsters to eat humans. It is a normal hostile relationship. Liu Chang is a traitor. He cannot tolerate people who betray their tribe. He has always been very tolerant of his enemies. If they have opposite positions, then it depends on their abilities. If I suffer a loss, it is because I am not as skilled as others.

But there must be zero tolerance for traitors.

Everyone in the Southern Wilds knows that one must use all one's strength to punish a traitor.

When Baihu heard that Liu Chang was dead, he couldn't help feeling empty, and then he was filled with deep anger. He thought that Liu Chang had died from a heavenly calamity, and his hatred towards the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Dao and the Zushen Mountain immediately intensified.

Chen Jing continued, "You can make up for ordinary cultivation resources through bloody battles in heaven, but what about the profound demon cultivation inheritance? What about the blessed land? This ceiling is pressing on your head. Can you push it open by yourself?"

Hu Zi's eyes were gloomy.

Of course I can’t push it open.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have planned for so many years, just thinking about escaping.

Chen Jing patted the other person on the shoulder.

Look into each other's eyes with sincerity.

“There are also countless Ancestral God Mountains within my human race. You think that just changing your foundation will solve the problem? That’s too naive. There are more Ancestral God Mountains within the human race than within your demon race… I, Chen, was born a poor farmer, and I understand this very well. The reason why I fell from Shenzhou to here is that those Ancestral God Mountains of the human race were afraid of my outstanding ability and unparalleled talent, so they targeted me in every way…”

He coughed, then slowed down a little and tried to hold it together.

"But you and I are different, Huzi. You are alone, but I have a group of like-minded people.
I will give you a sum of start-up capital, and you organize the wild demon tribe, become their leader, and lead them to resist and fight. The power of one demon is small, but the power of tens of millions of demons is not small. With tens of millions of demons, even the Ancestral God Mountain will have to surrender!

Huzi, it's time to look at the world with a new mindset. It's time to let the world feel how powerful we, the insignificant ones, are! "

Baihu growled, "After all, you still want to control me!"

"Huzi, I believe in your wisdom. You are not stupid for being able to cultivate to the realm of Dharma. You will understand who the fruits of your hard work will eventually belong to. If they belong to me, then I am driving you, but if they belong to you, I am just an investor. Think about it carefully. By the way, you can separate your spiritual consciousness and come to my An Ning Club to learn."

After Chen Jing finished speaking, he signaled with his eyes and left with the group.

The white tiger was left sitting there in a daze.

He pondered for a long time.

In fact, he understood that he had no choice. Chen Jing's way was not the way of God in China. It had attributes and tendencies. Although he had used his personal talents and abilities to open it up in the direction that best suited him, he still had to have a "bottom line".

The bottom line is the core of the Way of Thick Earth. Even if you want to go to the sky, it must be based on the bottom line.

Just as Chen Jing complained in his heart, Baihu was just being stubborn.

And Chen Jing's words did point out a practical direction for Baihu. Baihu deeply understood that some things, which you are not born with, will never be obtained again no matter how hard you try in this life.

This is true for humans and monsters alike.

The theory of origin exists everywhere, even in Chen Jing's An Ning Society.

In Chen Jing's eyes, the offspring of criminals and prostitutes are labeled. You will not be deprived of job opportunities, but all opportunities for advancement will be blocked, even if the mistakes were made by your parents, even if you have some amazing talents.

No need.

If you cannot rise to the core level, you are doomed to be unable to access core resources, let alone make a transition.

Just one sentence.

If anyone dares to take a shortcut, not only will you have to pay me back, but your descendants will have to pay me back too! Double the amount!

This kind of theory of origin is not simply discrimination, but also a protection of the interests of its own main supporters. If you take shortcuts without paying a price, who would be willing to work like a beast of burden? You really treat people like beasts of burden.

Chen Jing's base is these simple and hardworking people, so naturally he wants this group of people to be "Tianlong people" and become people who can discriminate against others.

Chen Jing has his own theory of origin, and the same goes for other forces.

There is actually no way to deal with this. If you were not born in that circle, you will be unlucky and weak.

And Chen Jing's way can at least keep most of the real people in the circle.

For Baihu, his current Tao is a branch of the Tao of Thick Earth, but it is very different from Chen Jing's.

Chen Jing works hard to expand the circle he created, while Baihu wants to directly destroy the existing small circle so that the majority of people who are not in the circle can benefit. From this point of view, Baihu is actually destined to not be a part of the An Ning Society.

Of course, if An Ning Society deteriorates, the path of the White Tiger branch will be a knife of self-revolution.

At the moment, Chen Jing’s attitude is very clear. The knife is just sitting there anyway, so how about using it to stab the monsters?
Baihu thought for a long time.

Said subconsciously.

"Liu Chang, what Chen Jing said makes some sense. All the results and success or failure depend on me. It's okay even if I agree to it."

"Liu Chang? Liu Chang?"

"Liu..."

The familiar voices of "My King" and "Lord White Tiger" did not sound, only the lonely sound of the wind blowing slowly.

The white tiger realized something, and its head and tail, which were raised high, lowered silently.

Although he is just a ghost.

But after all, he had been with him for seven hundred years. This "mere minion" had taught him many human principles, and could be considered both a teacher and a friend.

"...You actually went there before me."

He was extremely depressed.

suddenly thought.

If the world was really as peaceful as Chen Jing described, Liu Chang might be able to become a serious scholar, study peacefully, take imperial examinations, marry and have children, serve as an official and herdsman... and be buried with great ceremony in the end.

Baihu couldn't help but laugh.

As I get older, I actually start to miss it.

He raised his head stubbornly again.

"I am not a heartless person. This time, I will agree to Chen Jing's request for your sake. I swear to the heavens that all the merits of killing monsters in the future will be counted on you. This can also be regarded as redemption for your sins... If there is an afterlife, you should be reborn into a good family and never walk the dark road again."

His huge body gradually shrank and turned into a majestic white-haired old man.

The old man dug a grave for Liu Chang with his bare hands and erected a tombstone, inscribed "Tomb of the Loyal Servant Liu Chang", and then turned around.

He strode towards Anning Mansion.

In Anning Mansion.

Yan Lingxi asked, "Aren't you afraid that he will just leave? Letting the tiger go back to the mountain is talking about you."

Even a dragon has to coil up, let alone a kitten.

Chen Jing thought to himself.

"Don't worry. Even if he can't do it, I can just look for another grassroots monster tribe. Now the Monster Mountain monster tribe is in pieces, and there is no place to hunt monsters on a large scale. I might as well support a few monster tribe rebels to fight each other. This can not only develop the way of thick earth, but also get some monster materials. It's a good thing."

Then we chatted for a while.

Soon after.

Chen Jing smiled slightly.

"coming."
