Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 357 My name is Shimen Kang

Suizhou.

Qingnang Sect, on Juetian Peak.

The morning mist began to dissipate, and the cloud platform on the top of the mountain was split by the golden sunlight.

Hua Qingxia walked barefoot on the green jade bricks. Her hair was not tied up in a bun, and strings of red coral beads hung between her long black hair.

The long sword turned with the wrist, drawing an arc like flowing clouds. The shattered light spots from the sword edge fell on her moon-white gauze dress, startling the jade butterflies that were nesting in the garden.

A young deer peeked out from the pine forest, its wet nose following the morning dew stirred by the sword energy.

The sound of bells rang in the distance, parting the clouds. She put away her sword and stood up, smiling, only to see Chen Jing's figure.

He stood at the end of the sea of clouds, where the morning sun shone, and seemed to have been watching for a while.

"Junior Brother Chen, why are you looking for me?"

Hua Qingxia leaped onto the white marble railing and tiptoed to the side of Chen Jing.

Chen Jing seemed to have not yet reacted and had a serious look on his face.

"Oh no, Cao Lan's magic is so powerful that I actually saw my senior sister dancing with a sword in my dream during the day."

"What a daydream." Hua Qingxia rolled her eyes. "My path has improved again. You can now pass on the Dharma through mind-to-mind communication and condense an incarnation beside me."

"so good?"

Chen Jing was amazed, and then asked: "Anytime?"

"You are the only one who can do it anytime."

"..."

Chen Jing didn't answer, he was thinking about something wrong.

"You must have something urgent to tell me?" Hua Qingxia said with a smile.

"It's indeed an urgent matter. I was fighting with someone in the lower realm and was hit by a Taoist method that forced empathy. It's difficult to control myself." Chen Jing also sent the specific information to Hua Qingxia.

Hua Qingxia said: "I can solve this problem, but it takes some time to prepare, and I can only solve it for you. After all, I am not familiar with your two fellow practitioners."

"Can't I be the medium?"

Chen Jing asked.

It was useless even if he unleashed the magic, after all, the only ones who could withstand the heavy bombardment and reach Cao Lan were Jiu Niang and Cheng Xiaying.

So he had to eliminate the negative influence of those two people.

Hua Qingxia said: "It should work, but I have never succeeded. Junior brother, you can give it a try."

"Just give it a try."

Chen Jing nodded.

She also created the Taoist method of Heart to Heart, which was based on the characteristics of a pure heart.

The main point is to treat people with sincerity.

If Chen Jing's philosophy is that the stronger the bottom line is, the stronger Hua Qingxia will be.

The main focus is on the power of friendship.

Being honest and aboveboard with others will earn you positive feedback, and you can then share each other's abilities based on your level of trust.

This is the power of Hua Qingxia's inheritance method. So far, Chen Jing is the only person with the highest level of trust, and they can almost share all of each other's abilities.

On the contrary, the master and senior brothers could not reach this level, not because they did not trust her enough, but because that trust was based on status, not on the trust earned by her sincerity.

However, Chen Jing met the best senior sister when he was obscure. They shared hardships and prosperity. In a sense, Chen Jing is Hua Qingxia's fruit of Tao.

That's why Chen Jing said, let's try using him as a medium.

The level of trust he had with others could perhaps be shared with Hua Qingxia without loss, even though they had never met before.

She asked, "How long can you hold on, Junior Brother?"

Chen Jing said: "We can hold out for half a month, but it would be best if we can resolve it within seven or eight days."

"That's enough, leave it to me." Hua Qingxia gave her a reassuring look.

……

Hua Qingxia jumped off the cliff lightly and landed on the back of the spirit bird that was transformed from a magic weapon.

The spirit bird flapped its wings and flew through the clouds, carrying her down from the main peak.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he shouted to Taoist Yun Ting who was making a nest by the river: "Master!"

"Oh my fish!" Taoist Yun Ting's hands trembled, and he was filled with grief. "What's going on? What's going on? Why are you yelling so loudly so early in the morning?"

"Junior Brother Chen is in danger!"

Taoist Yun Ting immediately threw away his fishing rod and asked, "What's the matter?"

After hearing the news relayed by Hua Qingxia, he said, "The method that Cao Lan practices is not simple. Old Five practices the holy way, and his Dao heart is indestructible. To have such an impact, it can only be the famous Dao technique of the Chaos Demon Lord. If there is no targeted Dao technique, it will be difficult to solve."

The Demon Lord of Chaos was one of the seven demons who invaded the Central Plains back then.

At that time, the chaos caused by the collapse of the Divine Dynasty had just ended, the new way of immortality was just established, the three major holy places had not yet established their current holy place status, and the entire Shenzhou was still in turmoil.

The ten immortal evil spirits, the seven demons that attacked the Central Plains, the dragon-hunting angel that dug out the heart of the dragon, and so on.

They are all legendary warriors who have caused severe damage to Shenzhou.

Taoist Yun Ting also popularized the Taoist art of "confusing the mind and empathy". It was originally a top-level auxiliary Taoist method to help practitioners calm down their psychology and rationality. After being adapted, it became a terrifying magic skill.

Hua Qingxia's eyes lit up: "This chaotic heart empathy method is powerful, so I can help my junior brother."

"Do you have a solution?" Taoist Yun Ting was surprised.

"Yes, Master! The disciple-taking ceremony is just around the corner. How about we add a trial called the 'Trial of the Heart Demon'?"

She spoke her mind.

The art of confusing empathy is very powerful. It is essentially a negative benefit. That's right, it is not a debuff but a gain, so it is extremely difficult to guard against and can ignore the judgment of many spiritual defense methods.

But this kind of judgment will also be regarded as ability, and can be shared as long as Hua Qingxia and Chen Jing are willing.

That means multiple people are responsible.

No matter how powerful the Taoist method is, it must follow the principle of volume - talking about toxicity without talking about dosage is just hooliganism.

The solution to Hua Qingxia is so simple, just grab the heads and the master will fight with you.

Taoist Yun Ting couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh: "Great, I'll follow your plan!"

……

The Qingnang Sect's traditional event, the disciple-recruiting ceremony, has also become increasingly prosperous with the entry of the outer sect's market and the rapid development of the economy.

Originally, in Chen Jing's class, the number of people accepted at the disciple-recruiting ceremony was only about two to three thousand. Each of the twelve peaks took in one share, with each family accepting two to three hundred at a time, and each hall took in another share. Some of the less popular halls only recruited a single-digit number of newbies.

Without a large population, there will be no market, and without a market, there will be no source of motivation for creation.

Losing creativity means losing the ability to be enterprising and pioneering. The entire organization and even society will be affected, just like a stagnant pool of water. Those who cross the bridge first block the bridge head to collect tolls, and those behind cannot pass, and those in the front cannot move forward either.

Now, decades later, the Qingnang Sect has finally regained some of its prosperity from its peak.

Chen Jing's peace will greatly reduce the burden on the lower classes, whether it is the worldly burden or the burden of beginners.

And the reduced burden means you can invest with confidence.

The average ordinary family has no less than five children, which they can easily support, and there is a high probability that one of them will become a cultivator.

If a cultivator from a mortal family is not the kind of person who only cares about climbing to the top, but instead turns back to give back to the family, then the mortal family can quickly become richer. After a generation of small efforts, the evolution from a mortal family to a cultivator family can be achieved.

However, families that already have multiple practitioners will actually reduce the frequency of having children.

Firstly, it is objectively more difficult for practitioners to give birth to offspring. Secondly, simply maintaining the number of grassroots practitioners cannot bring about qualitative changes. Instead, it is more cost-effective to concentrate resources and support a genius in the family to break through the ceiling.

The Qingnang Sect also benefited from these changes.

The Qingnang Sect never participates in exploiting the lower classes because they only pick the most essential fruits.

--people.

In recent times, the Qingnang Sect has recruited tens of thousands of disciples in every disciple-recruiting ceremony. One should know that the Qingnang Sect does not accept rookies. All disciples must have mastered all nine orifices before the age of 20. To meet this condition, one must be either rich or a genius.

If you want to go a little higher on the path of cultivation, you need a little bit of either money or talent.

The disciple-recruiting ceremony is equivalent to the Qingnang Sect’s public financial report. The number of disciples recruited each year can clearly show how well the Qingnang Sect is doing recently.

"Urgent news, a new test has been added to the ceremony, and it has been posted on the notice board!"

"A new test?"

Inside Wanjiang Mansion.

The young monks who had been preparing for the exam here for a long time gathered together with their fellow countrymen and friends.

Those who heard the news in time spread it immediately.

"This test is called 'Inner Demon Test' and was set by Senior Sister Hua, the True Transmigration Master of Juetian Peak!"

"Senior Sister Hua? I heard that Senior Sister Hua has a pure heart, has opened up the way of heart seal, and is the most kind disciple to others!"

"I have seen her from a distance before. Senior Sister Hua is extremely beautiful, and her smile is as refreshing as a spring breeze..."

"It's a pity that Senior Sister Hua hasn't been promoted to elder yet, otherwise I would definitely try to become her disciple and listen to her teachings every day!"

"You want to be taught?"

Everyone changed the subject immediately.

"Let's go back to the levels. If you can persevere through the Heart Demon Level for a certain period of time, you can pass it. It doesn't sound that difficult."

"Hmph, in my opinion, this Heart Demon Test is reasonable. In the current Suizhou cultivation world, thanks to Senior Brother Mu Chen, the threshold for cultivation has been greatly lowered, which has also made many fellow practitioners look glamorous on the surface, but in fact their hearts are fragile and unworthy of great use. This Heart Demon Test is the threshold for selecting true geniuses!"

"Brother He, what you said makes sense!"

"Hiss, then I have to make some more preparations..."

The monks quickly discussed how to deal with the situation and tried to guess the topic.

Get ready.

Finally, it was time for the ceremony of accepting disciples to begin. One had to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, worship the divine tripod, and pass three levels... no, now it had become six levels!
The first three levels are still the same, with some ingenious levels in terms of mana, spells, and adaptability, or simply bringing back levels from a previous session for reuse.

As the Qingnang Sect developed, two new levels were added, named civil and military combat, which means literary combat and martial combat.

The literary contest is a test of your mastery of the various arts of cultivation. It is purely a bonus item. If you can pass it or get a grade, you can get extra points. If you can't pass it, it doesn't matter.

The martial arts competition is conducted with disciples from other sects who are watching the ceremony. It has been continued since Chen Jing's class and has become a reserved event.

There were winners and losers in the fighting sessions, and after each result came out, someone would recall Chen Jing and tell the new disciples the glorious story of Brother Chen.

Although Chen Jing is no longer here, and has even been nominally expelled, his An Ning Society is still there, his Peiyuan Rice Queen and Dao Seed are still there, and his influence is naturally still there.

Moreover, every new disciple of the Qingnang Sect will hear his name again after the martial arts competition.

This time, they will understand from what their senior brothers have told them, how Chen Jing defeated the malicious intentions from the outer sects in the past, and then they will know how Chen Jing brought blessings to the lower-level disciples, but was eventually forced away by the outer sects and humiliatedly expelled.

It can be said.

Telling Chen Jing's experience from the fighting stage has become the first hurdle for new disciples to identify with the sect's culture.

The disciples who are defeated in a fight will know that this is not a simple failure, but a shame, and they will then become braver after knowing the shame.

The victorious disciples will also know that the current victory is not worth celebrating. The real strong enemies are the external sects and their own weakness. Only when the sect is truly strong can they prevent the humiliation of Chen Jing being forced away.

The Qingnang Sect also used the incident of Chen Jing to create another cultural symbol.

This cultural symbol provides a practice guideline for the disciples.

——Why do you practice?
The founder of the Qingnang Sect founded the sect in order to quell rebellions and bring peace to the people. This is certainly great and has pointed out the direction for the Qingnang Sect's development for thousands of years. However, times are progressing, and the past action programs can no longer provide guidance for the current pursuit of development and progress.

Perhaps it is the times that make heroes. When the Qingnang Sect was seeking change, by chance, Chen Jing became a crucial part of the new program.

Level 6.

Hua Qingxia smiled at Chen Jing's incarnation beside her.

"The new disciples nowadays may not know it themselves, but you are the driving force for their future practice. Junior Brother Chen, how do you feel?"

Chen Jing held his forehead with his hand: "It's okay, but... misunderstanding is indeed the fate of the expresser. I really didn't think so much."

The lying monster means I just want to lie down, what are you trying to do by praising me so highly?

"Compared to these, I am already very happy to be able to see the sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony with my own eyes. Senior sister, you must continue to develop your Taoism. One day, I will be able to play in the immortal universe!"

It is true that the incarnation of spiritual consciousness can travel through the heavens and all realms, but it also has to cross them step by step personally.

Therefore, Chen Jing did not leave any of his spiritual incarnation outside.

But Hua Qingxia’s heart-to-heart connection is so awesome.

His real body was still being beaten in front of the Demon Boat Cao Lan, and he directly projected an incarnation of his spiritual consciousness to watch the sect competition.

It's really an extraordinary experience.

"Come on, Junior Brother Chen, take a look at the new test we have prepared for the new disciples."

Hua Qingxia chuckled and shared some of Chen Jing's 'confused empathy' with the new disciples.

As a pioneer of the Great Dao, she has taken the use of mind-to-mind communication to a new level. For example, now, she can forcibly share certain abilities with anyone at the lowest level.

Even if the opponent is an enemy, you can share some of the opponent's abilities, and then share your negative status with the opponent.

Having a pure heart does not necessarily mean being honest. One must be able to use open tactics and be more familiar with subtle tricks.

The disciples off the field finished reading the rules.

The rules are simple, just persist in the 'Inner Demon' state.

After reading the rules, he began to steal glances at Hua Qingxia.

"Senior Sister Hua is so beautiful!"

"Who is the man next to him? Damn it..."

"Looks a bit like Senior Brother Chen? But hasn't Senior Brother Chen been exiled to the lower realm?"

Before they can figure out anything.

He received a Heart Demon Virus shared by Hua Qingxia.

"Ah~~~"

"Woo, I'm so happy mom, woo, woo."
