Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 373 Glimmer
Zhu He, who passed out drunk, had no idea that Chen Jing, to whom he opened up his heart, was a scumbag evil god.

Because at the same time, Chen Jing also connected with several guests.

Those are the other fish in his pond.

"You really don't regret it?"

Chen Jing looked at the calm man in front of him.

This person's story is about his family falling into poverty, and his fiancée breaking off the engagement with him. He then drinks the life-destroying wine, and leads his family to rise again, slapping his ex-fiancée in the face.

Chen Jing seemed to have missed the most exciting part. Now the man in front of him had walked out of the novice village that had made him fall into despair.

The man asked without thinking: "Why should I regret it?"

"I told you back then that with your character and aptitude, even without the wine of abstinence, you would just be a little slower, but you would eventually achieve something," said Chen Jing.

"One step slow, every step slow. There are so many people with outstanding talents, but how many of them stand out?"

The hammer kept hitting, making a rhythmic sound.

The man looked straight ahead, controlling the spiritual fire while forging the magic weapon.

He turned his life around not by refining elixirs, but by refining weapons.

At the same time, he calmly spoke his inner thoughts.

"The mentality of a young man is only three to five years old. If it is smoothed out, he will be nothing. If his mentality is smoothed out, he will not dare to fight or struggle. He will be like an old dog, and will live a cowardly life for the rest of his life."

If these words of the man were to be spread, many people would be offended, but he was talking about himself.

He concluded: "It is better to live a hundred years of true character than to live a lifetime of dullness."

Chen Jing said: "It is not necessary to achieve great things..."

"So you want to be divorced?"

"I don't think so."

"That's it."

……

The candles on the big cake burned to the bottom, and Chen Jing finally collected enough "wishes" and recovered the scattered divine thoughts one by one.

"No negative reviews, what strength."

Chen Jing leaned back slightly.

The truth is, many people who drank the life-ending wine died prematurely before they could live to be a hundred years old.

Unfortunately, their reviews are not included in this rating.

He found that most of these living online guests had the same characteristic, namely: they did not indulge themselves too much in the middle of their lives.

After Zhu He's counterattack, his consumption simply increased. His means of making money remained legal and formal. He focused on preaching and gave free classes for pure charity.

The protagonist who later broke off the engagement became even more obsessed with forging, mastering the craft without caring about fame or fortune.

These guys always talk about making a name for themselves and achieving great things.

But he paid the price of the rest of his life, and only returned to a normal and peaceful life.

Could it be that “normal life” requires such a high price?

Who is paid to?

Chen Jing was still confused, but his heart, which had been silent for a long time, had already begun to move a little.

……

During the decades when Chen Jing's practice stagnated, the development of the Qingnang Sect was also difficult.

The twenty-four realms of the ancient Burning Fire Domain.

All the burden lies on the shoulders of senior brother Zhao Kongxuan alone.

Not only did the eldest senior brother's realm reach the fifth level of the cave heaven, he was also forced to grow a lot in the handling of specific affairs.

At this time, there were three important pieces of information in front of him. Zhao Kongxuan picked up the first jade tube and placed it in the palm of his left hand, with a smile on his face.

"After decades of accumulation, the results have finally come to fruition."

The content of this jade tube involves a seventh-grade Taoist method - "Yin Lei Hua Sheng".

The environment of the netherworld causes the spiritual power attributes to tend to be negative.

The Taoism of the upper realm is mostly adapted to spiritual power with positive attributes, which leads to the fact that the advanced Taoism of the upper realm is inferior to the backward Taoism of the lower realm in practical application.

Therefore, one of the difficulties facing Zhao Kongxuan in preaching in the lower world is to solve the differences in spells.

Although the Qingnang Sect's inheritance book is "Qingdi Jinnang Sutra", its core inheritance method is called "Qingzhe", which is a thunder method.

It is totally inconsistent with the first impression of a farming sect.

But if you think about it carefully, it is actually very reasonable. The founder of Qingnang Sect faced a chaotic world back then. He was able to gain a foothold and pacify Suizhou. Naturally, he was not only good at production, but also good at killing.

The initial effect of the "Qingzhe" inheritance method is very simple, killing and giving birth. There is no need to say much about killing, and giving birth can use thunder magic to awaken the vitality of all things, making all things lead to the vibrant side.

Therefore, it can also be used for farming and medical treatment.

In theory, in the future, the Jingzhe Thunder Method can also enlighten wisdom and activate potential.

Of course, there is a long way to go between theory and implementation.

With the improvement of inheritance from generation to generation, the Jingzhe Thunder Method has also had many derivatives, but the essence remains the same, centered around the power of life and death, and constantly expanding the fields of application and channels of implementation.

After Zhao Kongxuan came to the mortal world, he has been pushing forward related matters.

He not only needs to improve the Jingzhe Thunder Method to match the natural environment of the underworld, but also needs to make the new method match the social environment of the underworld.

Just like Chen Jing and Jiu Niang, they are in the honeymoon period of their cooperation.

Then Chen Jing will try to integrate Jiu Niang's Tao into his own Tao and create a new version, and the new version requires related industries.

This is what it means to be "like-minded", otherwise it is just a simple exchange of interests and that's it after the job is done.

Only when our paths and ideas blend together can we achieve deeper cooperation.

Zhao Kongxuan’s path integration targets two main groups.

First, the four small clans of fellow villagers.

We all go out and work hard together. Now is a good opportunity to further cooperate while we are working together.

The four small sects were also very cooperative in this regard. Each of the four sects had made achievements in talismans, swordsmanship, beast taming, and weapon refining. They also took out the parts of their own Taoism that were consistent with the concept of Jingzhe Thunder Method to create a new Taoism.

In less than ten years, the first edition of "Yin Lei Hua Sheng" was born.

But the first version was just a hodgepodge, with barely a framework.

The Qingnang Sect is responsible for the "spiritual power collection and supply" part of "Yin Lei Hua Sheng".

After all, the essence of magic is the application of spiritual power, so what kind of spiritual power is used is very important.

At that time, Zhao Kongxuan had to collect a large amount of spiritual power from all over the Ancient Fire Domain every day and conduct spell adaptation tests one by one.

This was thanks to the fact that he was being trained as a successor and was well-versed in all the sect's Taoist techniques, which greatly accelerated his progress.

After a lot of calculations and actual measurements, Zhao Kongxuan finally identified the seven major sources of spiritual power.

Two of them come from celestial phenomena, namely the celestial phenomenon of the Burning Fire Star Sky that comes with the Ancient Domain of Burning Fire, and the nearest Styx.

This is the greatest source of spiritual power and must be adapted.

Four of them come from the terrain. Among the twenty-four realms, four realms have complex large-scale terrain.

Just like the terrain has Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, if taken individually, they constitute a large terrain, but when combined, they have endless uses.

These celestial phenomena and terrain, the so-called "spiritual veins", must naturally be adapted first.

When Zhao Kongxuan completed the Taoist magic of the "collection end", the next step was the "development end" of the four small sects. They had to use the collected spiritual power to design spells that combined with their own heritage.

There are sword spells, weapon refining spells, beast taming spells, and talisman spells.

But up to this point, we can only say that it is a makeshift team.

Because the main purpose of Zhao Kongxuan and the four small sects is to manage the lower realm, that is to say, they want the natives of the major realms in the Ancient Domain of Burning Fire to practice their Taoism.

Therefore, Daotu’s second major fusion target is the local demon tribe in the Ancient Domain of Burning Fire.

This wasn't a difficult point.

But we have to look at it in light of the current situation. Right now, the Yaoying will split into two factions, the Immortal Law Faction dominated by the Taoist Academy, and the Bloodline Faction dominated by the Prince Party.

The entry of Qingnang Sect is also one of the links in the struggle between the two factions, so Qingnang Sect has rivals.

The Dark Alliance, which also comes from the lower world, has the support of the Prince's Party and is the support of the Bloodline Faction in the Burning Ancient Domain.

Therefore, it is useless for Zhao Kongxuan to just optimize a new Taoist method. He also has to be able to defeat the Dark Alliance.

It brings higher production efficiency to the Bloodline Sect than the Dark Alliance, is more powerful in fighting, and is easier to practice.

The process is difficult.

However, he finally achieved results, namely the "Yin Lei Hua Sheng" method.

This Taoist method can - painlessly and smoothly collect the mainstream spiritual power of the Burning Fire Ancient Domain;

It's OK - perfectly adapted to most of the excellent spells they brought, and cast almost the same effects in the Nether.

What's more, it can be compatible with the characteristics of most monster tribes and provide more convenient practice for the monster natives.

Zhao Kongxuan looked at "Yin Lei Hua Sheng", which was a Taoist method condensed from the hard work of himself, his fellow Taoists, and his master.

"It just needs to be rolled out and tested in the end."

His mind flashed over the past few decades of development journey, with overflowing expectations and all the hard work condensed here. Although he was confident, he still felt a little uneasy.

Zhao Kongxuan slowly put down the jade tube that was transformed from Yin Lei.

He turned to look at the other two pieces of news that he was paying special attention to.

One of them was intelligence bought from the Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce, which listed some in-depth information about the Dark Alliance.

The Dark Alliance is a human organization, but it mainly practices magic, focusing on body refining and artificial blood. Among them, the ten major families that master and inherit the golden blood are the core pillars of the Dark Alliance.

The one currently setting foot in the Ancient Domain of Burning Fire is one of the golden bloodline families, the Blue Sky Family, which inherits the bloodline of the 'Blue Sky Devouring Python', which can directly reach the sixth realm, has extremely strong combat power, and takes shape very quickly.

This intelligence does not involve much about other golden families, but the location of the Blue Sky Family's lair, member organization and other information are all quite detailed.

At the end of the intelligence, a secret place was mentioned, which is also the highlight.

[The so-called golden bloodline is nothing more than hiding the secrets of heaven and earth in the body... I have discovered that the secret of the blue sky blood is closely related to a fallen fragment of the thirty-three heavens. You should pay more attention to it.]

"Hit the snake at its three-inch mark. The three-inch mark of the Bikong family... I think it's here."

Zhao Kongxuan rubbed his fingertips together, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

I have already formed a plan in my mind.

At last.

He picked up the last jade tube, which was about Chen Jing.

"Junior brother, your practice has not been going well lately."

It's just right for the eldest brother to step in and give some guidance.

Think of this.

Zhao Kongxuan quickly dealt with the chores and took a flying boat to Chen Jing's Happy Island. He came with wine and meat, but there was no sign of Chen Jing.

After some inquiries, everyone said they hadn't seen anyone.

His mind changed.

"Most likely he went to the River Styx."

Without asking in advance, he drove the magic weapon towards the Styx. The spiritual energy around him became noticeably more gloomy, and the voices and shadows of resentful souls occasionally passed by.

Zhao Kongxuan had been to the River Styx many times and walked in with ease.

Not long after.

Sure enough, I saw the aura emanating from Chen Jing.

Come closer.

The Styx was full of dark brown mountains, or gloomy woods and vegetation. Chen Jing was squatting on an inconspicuous hill, looking far ahead.

Zhao Kongxuan’s first reaction was to wonder if his junior fellow apprentice was squatting in the toilet.

This expression of hiding in the corner yet leisurely and comfortable is really suitable.

"Junior brother, you are here indeed." Zhao Kongxuan greeted with a smile.

"Big Brother?" Chen Jing also laughed and said, "A busy man can actually spare some time to come to the Styx. Is there anything wrong with the new method?"

"That is, all passed the test."

Zhao Kongxuan couldn't help feeling proud when he said this. As a force from China, they were not newcomers when they came here, while his opponent was a real local tyrant.

In such a difficult situation, he was able to stabilize the situation and gradually improve it, which is something he can be proud of.

"How are you doing? I've heard about the plan to control the Styx, but have you achieved any results?"

Zhao Kongxuan turned and asked about Chen Jing.

Chen Jing said happily: "Indeed, Senior Brother, you came at the right time. Come and see how my underworld is built."

He points forward.

In the dark and hazy gray fog, the outline of the palace can be vaguely seen. The palace complex is not of the specifications commonly used by humans, but is much larger in proportion, like a giant's palace.

There is a huge vengeful soul inside, walking back and forth, making it quite lively.

Outside the Gray Mist Palace, there were also a large number of resentful souls. Some of them looked like mummies, and some were crawling on the ground without legs, but they were all wielding hoes and tilling the land carefully.

Zhao Kongxuan was stunned: "Ah?"

What did he see, resentful souls farming?
"Junior brother, what do you think of this?"

Chen Jing replied, "When I first arrived at the Burning Fire Ancient Domain, I accidentally encountered an evil cultivator who brutally killed his beloved wife and gave birth to a fierce ghost. He used this to raise and control ghosts. I thought about it and changed my method, and I also found a way to control ghosts."

A soul is a soul, and a ghost is a ghost; they are two different things.

There are two necessary conditions for a soul to become a ghost. One is a negative and feminine spiritual environment, and the other is obsession.

Only when the obsession is too strong, whether it is love or hate, and then encounters the right environment, can it turn into a ghost.

The latter is more important. This is why the evil cultivator attacked his wife back then. This obsession is the strongest.

If you can control the ghost's obsession, you can also control the ghost.

Zhao Kongxuan became interested and asked curiously, "How did Junior Brother master the obsessions of so many ghosts?"

"Actually, it wasn't me. I took advantage of the situation and hired a ferryman to do what he wanted. The ferryman often travels between the Yin and Yang worlds and knows a lot about ghosts. So, it was the ferryman who mastered the ghost's obsession."

Chen Jing smiled.

He didn't take it too seriously, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

"I later made a deal with these resentful souls. The ferryman helped them to resolve their obsessions, but they also had to farm my land for a period of time.
In fact, only a few wronged souls can wait until their obsessions are resolved, but during this period they will be very peaceful, regain a lot of rationality, and create a lot of value. Some wronged souls with good talents can even resolve their obsessions and have the wisdom to become Buddhas.

Look at these resentful souls. Those who are good at fighting, I let them join hands with the ferryman to kill enemies in the world of the living. Those who have skills, I let them make tools and build houses. For those who can't do anything, I made some seeds that can be planted in the Styx, so that they can farm and produce. "

Zhao Kongxuan exclaimed: "Junior brother, you have no money but still use ghosts to push the mill, it's really amazing."

Chen Jing said: "The main thing is to purify the environment of the Styx. Instead of investing a lot of manpower to eliminate the resentful souls, it is better to let the resentful souls purify themselves."

Zhao Kongxuan nodded, and then asked, "Junior brother, how has your cultivation progressed recently? Is there anything you don't understand?"

"all the best."

Chen Jing's answer was beyond Zhao Kongxuan's expectation. Zhao Kongxuan thought that his junior brother must have hit a wall since he had been silent until now, but looking at his relaxed demeanor, he didn't seem to be showing off.

Zhao Kongxuan frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said, "Is it really going well?"

"Brother, you understand. If things really don't go well, I will tell you directly." Chen Jing has no burden about playing badly. "My achievements today are all due to the efforts of others."

"You, you." Zhao Kongxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was relieved: "Tell me if you have any trouble."

"Big Brother, you too, I heard you're going to do something big soon?"

Chen Jing nodded and asked.

"Well, the Blue Sky Family of the Dark Alliance is planning to storm his lair next year."

Zhao Kongxuan was filled with murderous intent.
