The stars shifted, and ti flew by.
In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
Qingyu Garden.
Fang Xing calculated with his fingers, realizing it was his own grand birthday in the cycle of sixty years, but unfortunately, no one celebrated.
He made himself a bowl of longevity noodles and took the opportunity to note down the grudge with the Blood Shadow Sect in his small notebook again, just waiting to destroy that sect in the future to avenge his family’s original body.
Several months later.
Inside the treehouse.
Fang Xing sat cross-legged, suddenly feeling that the mana of the ’Green Wood Skill’ within him had broken through a long-troubling barrier.
The ’Lush’ Dao Foundation trembled slightly, reaching its limit.
"Middle Realm of Dao Foundation, achieved..."
Fang Xing opened his eyes, a green light flashing in them: "Having obtained the cultivation technique for over a decade, to break through to the Middle Realm of Dao Foundation... this progress is quite acceptable."
In fact, if outsiders discovered this progress, they would be astonished like a heavenly human.
With a thought, the lush Evergreen Forest outside emitted a large amount of plant essence Qi, perating his entire body, cleansing and refining his muscles.
In this state, the data on the attribute bar continuously refreshed:
[You underwent a ’Natural Baptism’, acquiring extensive ’Natural Knowledge’...]
[Your Druid level increased to level 14, acquiring the talent ’Regeneration’!]
Fang Xing suddenly felt a powerful life force being injected into his body, allowing even severed limbs to regrow.
"Good things co in pairs..."
He sighed with emotion, looking at the detailed data:
[Na: Fang Xing]
[Age: 60/601]
[Profession: Druid Level 14]
[Realm: Middle Realm of Dao Foundation (Lush)]
[Talents: Natural Affinity, Wilderness Transformation, Plant Growth, Toxin Immunity, Youthful Forever, Thorny Technique, Tree Bark Skill, Natural Healing, Tree Shepherd, Sturdy, Combat Casting, Enlightennt Technique, Regeneration]
[Skills: All-Complete Hand (Grandmaster 800/800), Paper Folding Technique (Grandmaster 466/800), Beast Taming Skill (Grandmaster 800/800), Qi Concealnt Technique (Grandmaster 800/800)]
...
"The growth of the Druid level has slowed a bit, is it because I’ve used the Enlightennt Technique to transform the little ginseng spirit and the black snake multiple tis?"
"Or is it that as it gets later, the experience gap naturally becos as vast as heaven and earth?"
Fang Xing fell into contemplation.
To break through to Druid level 15 that brings earth-shattering changes will likely take even longer!
After all, a level 15 Druid is equivalent to a Yin God True Person!
"I don’t need to be too hasty, I can first sche for those Divine Skills Fundantal Diagrams..."
Regarding the so-called Divine Skills Fundantal Diagrams, Fang Xing had a keen interest because, according to descriptions, as long as he comprehended them, there was a possibility to obtain a fake divine skill!
This kind of divine object is unlikely to be produced by Yin God True Persons or Yang God True Monarchs.
There is a great possibility that it originated from the hands of Divine Spirits from the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty!
’Previously, it was just rumors, but after joining Qingmu Ridge and learning more about the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty... Compared to the lofty Divine Spirits and Yang God True Monarchs, it’s like the sun compared to a firefly... If it weren’t for restrictions on their actions, the so-called ten righteous and evil factions wouldn’t even have the luck to escape to the Outer World...’
’The so-called Outer World and ten righteous and evil factions are actually just a group of holess dogs...’
’The power of those Divine Spirits, I find very intriguing...’
Fang Xing thought for a mont but did not intend to take up any combat missions to earn more rit contribution.
After all, war is risky and dangerous.
As long as he doesn’t enter the battlefield, he certainly won’t lose!
Moreover, he doesn’t need to go to the battlefield at all.
The Druid’s [Plant Growth] talent combined with the ’Lush’ divine skill makes it no problem to ripen thousand-year-old spiritual dicines.
Next ti, when submitting dicinal materials, just ripening a few extra plants will easily bring in ten thousand rit points.
Although the thousand-year-old spiritual dicine appears to just have ten tis the age compared to a hundred-year-old spiritual dicine, its value increases more than a hundredfold.
"The levels of spiritual dicine every hundred years, thousand years, ten thousand years are major barriers..."
"Actually, I probably don’t need to present thousand-year-old spiritual dicine, as it’s too conspicuous. It would be better to win by quantity... present several tis the amount of hundred-year-old spiritual dicines, which, although still an impressive feat of the spiritual farr, wouldn’t be too sensational."
Fang Xing made up his mind, imdiately stepping out of the treehouse and arriving under the millennial Evergreen Tree.
"Greetings to the steward."
Yu Santian and the other two quickly saluted, still inwardly complaining.
This steward, besides planting trees, isn’t he always wandering in the mountains, rarely visiting the dicine garden?
Why today does he have such elegant interest?
"There should still be many seeds left of the Qingyu Grass, right? And the seeds of the Azure Dragon Flower and Three-Life Fruit?"
Fang Xing asked.
"Naturally..."
ng Tiandong nodded, these seeds of spiritual dicines are not considered precious, a ten-year-old herb can produce seeds, and after harvesting with specific thods, it does not affect the continued growth of the spiritual dicine.
Moreover, the seeds of a single spiritual dicine can at least grow into ten spiritual dicines.
"Then open another hundred acres of dicinal fields, I want to plant them myself."
Fang Xing ordered.
"Yes."
Fang Xing had no objections whatsoever—after all, the new dicine field wouldn’t affect the original output of the dicine garden.
If there are any extra profits, they would also benefit greatly.
Moreover, although this dicine garden steward dresses sowhat oddly, his skill in Spiritual Farming is indeed solid and reliable.
As disciples of the dicine garden, they knew this better than anyone.
The evidence was the Evergreen Trees planted by Fang Xing—all thrived without a single one dying.
Any pest issues in the dicine garden were resolved imdiately.
In fact, Fang Xing felt that the Evergreen Trees were growing excessively, with a few of the earliest ones seemingly starting to approach a hundred years old...
...
The new dicine field in the garden was supposed to be reported as per the rules.
However, neither Fang Xing nor ng Tiandong paid it much mind.
In the past, when encountering such issues, Shennong Hall would surely approve; it was rely a formality.
Unexpectedly, a few days later.
Fei Changnong along with a red-clothed female Dao Foundation cultivator and a few disciples arrived.
"Brother Fei, Sister Hong!"
Fang Xing stepped forward to greet them, sowhat puzzled.
These two were quite busy individuals, so why were they here?
"Haha, I heard Junior Brother Fang opened a new field for Qingyu Garden, so of course I had to co and take a look..."
Fei Changnong laughed, coming to stand by the new dicine field.
ng Tiandong was busy flipping soil along with Yu Santian and Hua Qing. Seeing the Vice Hall Master from Shennong Hall arrive personally, they hurried to pay their respects.
"Not bad, not bad..."
Fei Changnong praised with his hands behind his back, leaving ng Tiandong sowhat baffled.
But he glanced at Fang Xing next to him and imdiately thought: ’Could it be, it’s out of respect for Uncle Fang’s favor? Is this preparing to report rit directly to the sect, and gain more contributions? This...this...is simply collusion between higher-ups...Why didn’t I encounter such a benefactor back then?’
Fang Xing didn’t think Fei Changnong had much camaraderie with him.
After inviting Fei Changnong under the ten-thousand-year-old Evergreen Tree, he had ng Tiandong and the others brew tea. Only then did Fei Changnong speak: "Junior Brother’s new dicine garden is lacking disciples, let assign a few more for you, how does that sound?"
"This, I naturally abide by the sect’s decisions."
Fang Xing nodded, still unclear why Fei Changnong wanted to send more people his way.
"That’s good then..."
Beside him, Sister Hong smiled: "What about these disciples we have, what do you think?"
Fang Xing was slightly startled, looking over.
The disciples were young and handso, with not weak cultivation abilities; so had even refined Gang Qi.
His eyes turned: "Such brilliant talents should certainly serve the sect... In Junior Brother’s place, they would be wasted."
This Sister Hong was introduced by Fei Changnong. She practiced Charming Skill, which Fang Xing always avoided.
For the prettier the woman, the more trouble she represented.
"Sigh..."
Fei Changnong sighed: "I won’t hide from Junior Brother, these disciples are a few under myself and Sister Hong who were rather unaccomplished. There might be changes in the future, hence sending them here to avoid the sect’s battles and guard duties!"
Fang Xing imdiately understood; this aligned with his guesses.
The Qingyu Garden task he had may have little profit, but it represented safety.
"Could it be that the sect is going to war with so great sect?"
Fang Xing exclaid in shock: "Moreover... Given Brother Fei’s status, are there no other arrangents?"
"Other places, of course, there are... But the sect’s orders are clear; all long-term tasks within the sect are frozen... Tasks like Junior Brother’s with a hundred-year term are no longer being issued."
Fei Changnong expelled a long sigh, his expression complex: "Junior Brother is lucky, as the pre-set tasks remain unchanged. I wonder if in ten to twenty years, I might envy you..."
’So there’s a coming war, my kind of task has beco a hot commodity, but the opportunities are very few...’
Fang Xing nodded, then asked seriously: "Why is it so?"
"Haha... Junior Brother need not worry too much, it’s just a speculation."
Sister Hong chuckled, brimming with allure: "I have so connections with Feijian Sect... I know Great Zhou Divine Dynasty is abolishing the Killing Life Sect. If the Killing Life Sect is expelled from Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, entering the Outer World, it’ll be a mighty dragon, bound for all sorts of open and secret battles..."
The ten righteous and evil sects are losers too, and the Killing Life Sect, enduring till now before being ousted, is likely stronger than Feijian Sect!
The Outer World is only so big; to fight for territory and profits...naturally, it will incite chaos!
"When will it be?"
Fang Xing caught onto the key point.
"Could be in ten years, or a few decades later... Or it might never happen."
Sister Hong smiled radiantly: "It’s uncertain whether the Killing Life Sect might hold on..."
"Then why worry?"
Fang Xing was even more speechless; was the Killing Life Sect’s reputation so great as to terrify Qingmu Ridge like this?
"The ten righteous and evil sects are not constant..."
Fei Changnong spoke at this mont: "The so-called military strategies are fundantally for the strong to eliminate the weaker... There are never strong ones deliberately choosing other strong opponents to fight. Hence, before the Killing Life Sect arrives, our sects in the Outer World might first have a civil conflict, then determine the weakest. Once the Killing Life Sect cos southwards, they would allow it to take their place..."
’I see...’
Fang Xing was witnessing soone articulating the notion of bullying the weak and fearing the strong in such a refreshing manner for the first ti; he felt enlightened: "Since Brother Fei and Sister Hong have spoken so, I certainly won’t refuse..."
