Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 351: Breaking the Wine

In addition to Chen Jing, Zhang Cheng’s Origin Island construction plan also recruited two temporary workers.

Chen Jing is responsible for optimizing the laws of earth and wood, and the other two are responsible for optimizing the laws of water, fire, and gold respectively.

The laws on the Island of Origin have only evolved to the point where the five elements are in place. After the framework is set up, the optimization work does not require cultivators with profound cultivation. The third realm will be enough.

Zhang Cheng pulled Chen Jing and said, "On the Origin Island, the most important things are soil and wood. Currently, there is only one type of wood, the fir tree. I'd like you to create three different types of trees. Apply the fir tree rules and change the color and height. The same goes for soil."

"No problem." Chen Jing also discovered that the trees here all looked the same, very monotonous.

After Zhang Cheng explained the task, he went to instruct the other two temporary workers.

Chen Jingze developed the framework further, adding acacia, oak and birch.

This was not difficult for him, and he easily incorporated further subdivided rules such as the falling of saplings and the falling of fruits.

Zhang Cheng was very surprised when he inspected the project. He paid him more spirit stones and asked him if he had any intention of working for him for a long time.

But occasional work can help to change one's mood, but long-term work would be pure torture, so Chen Jing flatly refused.

Half a month later.

The underlying architecture of the Island of Origin is basically complete, and it conducts a series of simple yet profound interactions around the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Zhang Cheng told him that some ordinary people would be allowed in to test the waters in the early stage, and gave him some "testing places".

However, Chen Jing took a closer look and carefully understood what these areas open to the whole society were used for.

After understanding.

First of all, Zhang Cheng is not honest at all. The chicken soup he said before was actually a set of public rhetoric. It was just to cheer up the employees, which was fine.

After all, these "developers" have the least resources, so they use every trick in order to successfully develop the cave area they want.

Chen Jing found that most small developers focus on leisure and entertainment.

The incomplete laws of the cave world also have their advantages.

As a result, they are freed from many shackles and can fully realize their imagination.

Originally, if one wanted to develop a "My World", one needed to practice to the fifth realm and open up a cave. However, Chen Jing completely let go, which was equivalent to everyone being in the fifth realm. The attraction was indeed huge.

In order to create the world you want, you need to create tools, which is to create laws.

In this process, the evolution of the cave was greatly accelerated.

……

……

Peace will develop in an orderly manner.

The other end.

However, Chen Jing himself encountered some problems. The rebirth ship suddenly deviated from its course and went deep into the chaos.

Jiu Niang and Cheng Xiaying came out of their residence together, ready for battle.

"Is something wrong?" Chen Jing asked.

"We've run into a tough guy. Sure enough, there's nothing good happening near Purgatory Island." Cheng Xiaying's hair was flying, and she looked fierce. She said, "In other places, our reputation as a flying boat hunter can scare a lot of people, but here, there are flying boat hunters everywhere, and there are also pirates who want to become hunters everywhere. Someone chose us as their opponent."

Jiu Niang said: "The Rebirth Ship won't listen to my comfort. This broken ship, ah, has problems every other day. Get ready to fight the enemy." She then looked at Chen Jing: "--Please keep an eye on the Soul Devouring Flower. If there is a problem with it, we will have to run to Purgatory Island!"

Chen Jing nodded and retreated to the back.

The rebirth ship, accompanied by high-frequency vibrations, passed through a certain obstruction and seemed to be stuck in mud and sand.

Complex fluctuations of spiritual power continued to emerge from all directions, evolving and interweaving into various strange visions, and turning into fierce blows that fell like heavy rain.

Jiu Niang took out the bell and shook it. The patterns on the bronze bell seemed to come alive, outlining intricate patterns, and layers of ghostly shadows emerged from nothingness into reality.

"Hahahaha, Jiu Niang, you still remember me!"

A man's unbridled laughter could be heard not far away.

Jiu Niang did not answer, but her eyes were somewhat confused, and she was obviously wondering who this was.

"Don't think about it. The people you have offended are all over the heavens and the world. Get your boat running first!" Cheng Xiaying shouted immediately.

"What if it's an enemy I know? At least we know each other." Jiu Niang said helplessly.

"what?!"

The man on the opposite flying boat flew into a rage and shouted, "I am the disciple of Hanshan Jiumengxian. You killed my master Jiumengxian and refined his soul, and you actually don't recognize me!"

"I really have no impression of this." Jiu Niang listened to the other party's words without thinking, and sneered: "Although I don't know who your master is, but didn't your master tell you that if you drink my life-ending wine, you have to row a boat for me for the rest of your life?"

After hearing this, the man became even angrier, and Chen Jing was also shocked. What the hell, your alcohol has this side effect?
Now was not the time to ask in detail. The man just roared, "Witch!" and used a killing move. Twelve huge copper pillars emerged from the chaos, each of which was carved with a lifelike witch god, trapping them inside.

"Witch God Formation, a grand move."

Jiu Niang just kept ringing the bell, and the ghost's cries became louder.

Chen Jing was originally paying attention to the battlefield, but he heard a particularly painful cry of a ghost, and he couldn't help but look.

But inside a soul-eating flower, there was a skinny old man rowing a boat, his eyes were bleeding and he was crying hoarsely and sadly.

"Old man, why are you crying so sadly?" Chen Jing asked.

"The people outside are my beloved disciples."

The old man rowing the boat stared blankly, looking through the soul-devouring flower at the man who was fighting with Jiu Niang.

"Lin'er has already cultivated such magical powers. I wonder how much suffering he has endured."

Chen Jing was a little curious, so he continued asking.

The old man said, "I am a cultivator from the Lost World. Because of my talent for cultivation, I was spotted by the cultivators of the Demon Sect... The Demon Sect killed my entire family, saying that they wanted to sever my worldly ties and eliminate worldly thoughts.
After taking me up the mountain, I practiced the "Evil Epidemic and Suffering Sutra", and experienced the bitterness of extreme cold, hunger, thirst, knife cuts, and insect bites. Only with deep hatred can I grit my teeth and survive, and cultivate the evil epidemic and suffering magic energy. But after I cultivated it, I couldn't take revenge, but instead..."

Speaking of this, the old man looked painful.

“Instead, I understand my teacher.”

"Ah? He killed your entire family and tortured you half to death, how can you understand him?" Chen Jing was shocked.

"Master has given me the path and the power to control it." The old man said this in a complicated tone.

Chen Jing said: "...Why do we need to master power?"

"Natural disasters, man-made disasters, foreign monsters and ghosts, if you don't cultivate the magic sutra, it will be difficult for them to have a good end." The old man said this and sighed: "Later, I met Lin'er. He is extremely talented and far superior to me. If he can cultivate the magic skills, his achievements will definitely be higher than mine. But I couldn't bear to kill his entire family and repeat the past."

Chen Jing: "What happened next?"

"I was depressed and couldn't make a decision, so I went to Hanshan to drink. In the mountains, I met the incarnation of Jiuniang. She gave me a gourd of life-ending wine. After drinking it, I only had a hundred years left to live, but these hundred years..."

The old man's eyes showed some reminiscence, "I am the true pride of heaven."

During that hundred years, no matter what he practiced, he achieved twice the result with half the effort. No matter what Taoism it was, he could understand it at one glance and with two eyes.

He seemed to be drunk, and in his drunken dreams, he was the protagonist of that world.

Over the past hundred years, he has seized power in the sect, reformed Taoism, killed countless powerful enemies, and earned the name Hanshan Jiumengxian.

But at the end of the hundred years, he died in his dream. When he opened his eyes again, he became one of the three thousand remaining souls of the Soul-Eating Flower.

Chen Jing felt a little emotional and thought to himself that it was a good thing that the wine he drank was fine.

Not long after.

The battle was over. Jiu Niang, still drunk, found a place to sit down casually, while Cheng Xiaying came over carrying the dying man.

"You're just a little bit of a jerk and you want to learn how to take revenge?" Cheng Xiaying snorted and said, preparing to kill him.
Chen Jing then asked, "Aren't you going to keep it for ransom?"

"I found out clearly that this guy is a little genius. He got to where he is today thanks to his courage and fighting spirit. But as for money, he has no money. Even the boat he used to ambush us was rented. When he saw that the situation was not good, he abandoned this guy and ran away." Cheng Xiaying said depressedly.

"Leave this man to me."

"Okay, be careful."

She threw the man aside as if he were trash.

Chen Jing pondered. He actually hadn't figured out what he wanted this guy to do, but he suddenly wanted to do something.

"I didn't know what you meant before, that the dead understand chaos best. Could it be that he is like his master, who became a dead person and has been a rowing soul ever since?"

"The wine of life-breaking is my path." Jiu Niang said lazily, "Life is short, so why not enjoy the moment of splendor? I have given many people the opportunity to choose whether to live a life of mediocrity or enjoy a moment of fame and success."

Chen Jing said: "Then your business should be very good."

"I don't do business with just anyone." Jiu Niang shook the gourd, threw it to Chen Jing, and said, "Want a try?"

He took it, hesitated for a moment, and poured it into his mouth.

immediately.

Chen Jing entered a strange state, with broken fragments of his life constantly flashing before his eyes.

Those broken fragments represent the life of every drinker.

And these lives, without exception, are all grey. There is no hope, only pain and suffering.

'When can I take revenge? I'm willing to do anything for revenge!'

'As long as I can get her, I'll give everything!'

"The throne, my throne! !"

"Anyone is fine, anyone is fine, please fulfill my wish..."

'Study hard and practice hard, that's why, haha, haha, hahahahaha! '

The afterimages of madness, depression, and pain passed by Chen Jing one by one. In the end, all that was left in front of him was a little girl sitting by the bridge.

The little girl was wearing a red dress with an exquisite bronze bell hanging in her long hair. She sat by the bridge and stared at the view below.

Chen Jing walked over, only to see that there was a bottomless abyss under the bridge.

One after another, the residual souls, you pulled me, I pulled you, and finally pulled the feet of the little girl sitting on the bridge.

The little girl sat on the bridge without moving, letting the residual soul below pull her.

Subsequently.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Jing.

“Do you want to drink the Death Wine too?” The little girl said grimly, “After drinking it, you will be drunk and won’t have to feel these pains anymore.”

"The intoxication of escape can only last for a short moment, and the pain will spread indefinitely." Chen Jing shook his head.

“The pain is endless.”

The little girl tilted her head.

"Since you don't want to drink, then go back and wait until the day you...can't hold on any longer."

boom.

All the illusions before my eyes were shattered.

Chen Jing's eyes were dazed.

He opened his eyes again, and saw only a dead prisoner in front of him, but not Jiu Niang and Cheng Xiaying. He stood up, holding onto the wall, and shook his head, as if he had a hangover.

“It’s really… uncomfortable.”

Chen Jing bent over until those extremely depressing moments slowly faded away and the sickening pain gradually disappeared.

but.

From time to time, he seemed to be able to sense the prayers and shouts coming from all over the place.

The pain and depression of the person shouting are also transmitted to himself at the same time.

"Why did Jiu Niang build this crappy path?" Chen Jing subconsciously touched his waist - ready to take a sip of strong liquor that would paralyze his brain and block out the shouts that were coming like a tide.

Of course I didn't touch it.

Chen Jing walked to the stern of the boat, looked at the old man again, and said, "Do you regret it?"

"regret?"

The old man asked, "What do you regret? Did you not kill your master after you became successful in cultivation? Or did you not follow the sect rules and kill Lin'er's family after you met him? Or do you regret drinking that sip of wine?"

"Tell us all." Chen Jing said.

"I regret it all." The old man pushed the oars hard, with a ferocious look in his eyes. "Even if I regret it, no matter how many times it happens, I will make the same decision."

"Is it."

Chen Jing nodded.

After pondering for a long time, he turned around and found Jiu Niang sleeping soundly in the corner.

She frowned from time to time, as if there were bad things in her dreams that were bothering her.

In the past, Chen Jing only felt it was strange that a practitioner of this level loved to drink, feel sleepy, and forgetful all day long, and completely lacked the qualities that a practitioner of this level should have.

Now I feel the same way.

The sip of wine he drank, although called wine, was actually just like Chen Jing's Tao Seed, the crystallization of their Tao paths.

Chen Jingxiu's way of guaranteeing the bottom line was that he also took on the responsibility of being a server. He had a lot of mana and spiritual awareness, but he could not call upon much.

Now, through the Duansheng wine, he also intuitively understood Jiu Niang's feelings.

Jiu Niang is also connected to the suffering of all living beings at all times.

Their paths are completely different, yet very similar. Chen Jing's path is a bottom line, which does not eliminate suffering from the root, but reduces the impact of suffering. Jiu Niang's path is that if suffering cannot be eliminated, then there will be a temporary numbness.

It doesn't solve the problem, it just postpones it.

So Jiu Niang was also constantly tortured by the pain, and drinking to drown her sorrows only made her more sorrowful.

It's a pity that I don't have a choice.

I don’t know when.

Cheng Xiaying also walked nearby, without saying anything, but transmitting the message through her spiritual consciousness.

"As the saying goes, people with different philosophies cannot work together. Jiu Niang knows that you must have doubts, so she took the opportunity to let you understand the Tao she practices."

Chen Jing nodded: "Why is there such a strange path? What benefit does it bring to her?"

"When did cultivation come about purely for the sake of benefit? Isn't it all about wanting to see the world that one wishes to see?"

Cheng Xiaying asked back.
