Cultivation: Start with a Spiritual Plant Space

At this time, Li Fan took a deep breath and quickly formed seals with his hands.

I saw spiritual power entwined around his fingertips like nimble little snakes, blending into the Netherworld Sand Flower with precision and accuracy.

Then, a magical scene happened.

The traces of evil energy that originally lingered around the Netherworld Sand Flower were cleverly refined in an instant.

Then it is transformed into part of the power of the spiritual plant itself.

The petals of the Netherworld Sand Flower became darker in color, and the light they emitted became more dazzling.

The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations spread out like water waves.

Everyone present couldn't help but be shocked.

At this time, other contestants had also completed the cultivation of spiritual plants.

Zhang Chengzhen was originally full of confidence, but when he saw the Netherworld Sand Flower blooming with dazzling light, his expression instantly became dull.

His eyes widened, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and his heart was filled with disbelief.

"I've clearly performed to my full potential, how could this happen? What kind of level is this?"

Zhang Xuxi originally looked relaxed and thought he could win, but at this moment, the smile on his face froze instantly.

His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were filled with shock.

"The gap is too big. How on earth did he do it? Impossible, impossible."

The whole person seemed a little nervous.

The elders in charge of judging gathered around, bent down, and put their faces close to the Nether Sand Flower.

His eyes didn't blink, and the look of surprise could not be dispelled.

At this time, the great elder Zhou Hong landed on the scene with a bang.

Looking at the spiritual plants cultivated by Li Fan, he nodded slightly, with a glint of surprise in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "This boy's accomplishments in cultivating spiritual plants are far beyond imagination. He is truly a promising talent. I must find a way to win him over."

The second elder's face was extremely gloomy, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

My heart was filled with anger and resentment.

"I miscalculated that this kid could actually shine in such a situation. What should I do? I must stop him, humph."

Zhou Qi's eyes almost popped out of his head as he stared at the stage in disbelief, muttering, "How is this possible... This is absolutely impossible!"

His body was frozen in place, as if under a spell.

Zhou Zhiyue was so excited that he jumped three feet high, waving his hands vigorously and cheering non-stop.

"Brother Li is truly amazing. Let's see what Zhou Qi and the others can say now!"

Wuming and Li Mingzhao's faces flushed with excitement.

"Brother Li Fan's trick is really amazing."

A trace of admiration flashed in Zhou Yuruo's eyes. She pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

"It's really amazing. I was wrong."

Brother Zhou Tianfang felt sincere admiration.

The two looked at each other and saw amazement in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Li Fan slowly spoke.

"This round has been decided. How do you think?"

The sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

After a quiet discussion, the judging elders finally announced, "Li Fan wins this spiritual plant cultivation competition!"

There was a sudden burst of cheers and applause from the audience.

Li Fan walked down from the stage, smiling, and walked towards Zhou Zhiyue and others with light steps.

Zhou Qi and others lowered their heads in shame, not daring to face the gazes of the crowd.

At this time, clan leader Zhou Huhu frowned, feeling that Li Fan's actions seemed familiar.

So, he walked down the platform step by step with steady steps.

He looked over closely, with deep doubt in his eyes.

He walked over with a frown on his face.

With his hands behind his back and his head lowered slightly, he leaned closer and said in a deep voice, "Why does your cultivation method feel so familiar to me?"

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat. He had actually forgotten about it before.

Part of his inheritance came from Zhou Yiting.

That is the younger brother of the clan leader in front of us.

The two have a deep grudge against each other, which is a bit troublesome.

Li Fan pretended to be calm, forced a stiff smile on his face, his eyes were a little evasive, and he quickly turned his head to the side.

After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Patriarch Zhou, I figured this out on my own. It might be a coincidence."

Zhou Yihu raised his head, his eyes like sharp swords, with strong penetrating power.

He snorted lightly, his tone full of suspicion, "Figure it out yourself? Humph, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Li Fan was not good at lying, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He quickly raised his hand to wipe it, trying to keep his voice steady.

"Patriarch Zhou, I really didn't lie to you. I just came up with this idea by chance."

Zhou Hu stared at him for a long time, which made Li Fan feel uneasy.

Then he slowly said, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."

The words were not finished, but the threat was self-evident.

Li Fan swallowed, clenched his hands unconsciously, and then quickly loosened them, repeating this several times.

Continue to make up lies.

"Patriarch Zhou, I once saw a similar method in an ancient book, so I tried it."

Zhou Yihu's eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at him with a hint of ruthlessness.

He snorted coldly and said, "Ancient book? Which ancient book? Tell me about it. Didn't you say you figured it out yourself? How did it become an ancient book?"

Li Fan's heart tightened, his mind racing, and he responded in a panic, "That ancient book is so old, I don't even remember the name."

The corners of Zhou Yihu's mouth twitched slightly, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this answer.

His eyes grew colder and his voice deeper.

"Hmph, do you think I will believe your lies?"

Li Fan felt extremely regretful. Why didn’t he learn how to lie? Damn it.

So, just give up.

"Chief, I really didn't lie to you. I can't help it if you don't believe me."

Zhou Xiaohu was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "I'll let you go this time, but you'd better not let me catch you lying."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Li Fan was left standing there at a loss.

He looked at Zhou Yihu's departing back with a frown on his face.

I know that although the other party will not pursue the matter for the time being, this matter may not end so easily.

Zhou Yihu returned to the platform, his face still looking very gloomy.

Sitting on the chair, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrests, making a "tap-tap" sound.

The second elder on the side saw this and said sarcastically, "Clan leader, is Li Fan's statement credible?"

Zhou Xiaohu shook his head slightly and said coldly, "Humph, he must be hiding something, but this matter still needs to be carefully considered."

After hearing this, the second elder's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction. Anyone who ruined his plans would not have a good ending.

On the other side, Li Fan returned to Zhou Zhiyue and others.

Zhou Zhiyue asked with concern: "What did the clan leader say to you? Did he not embarrass you?"

Li Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have managed to cope with it for now, but the clan leader obviously doesn't believe me. I am afraid there will be trouble in the future."

Wuming frowned and said with a worried look on his face, "What should we do next?"

Li Fan took a deep breath, gathered himself, and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. For now, let's just deal with the competition first."

Zhou Zhiyue frowned and fell into deep thought.

I had no good ideas for a while.

Next, it was the formation competition, and it was Li Mingzhao and Wuming's turn to take the stage.

Of course, Wuming also brought the rabbit-tailed squirrel.

This little fellow's talent in formation formation is amazing.
