Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 95: Wu Changqing's Complaints

In the evening, when Xiao Yuying was harvesting Spirit Rice, Liu Fan, the newly appointed steward of the farm, came to visit.

Chu Ming naturally heard the commotion early on and came out to receive the guest in advance.

Liu Fan was also an old man, with a somewhat stern appearance.

But he knew Chu Ming's background and greeted him with a smile, taking out a bag of Spirit Rice seeds and handing them to Chu Ming.

"Nephew, these are the high-yield Spirit Rice seeds distributed by the higher-ups."

"From now on, all the disciples of the Spirit Farming Department will plant these high-yield Spirit Rice seeds."

"This Spirit Rice has a higher yield than the previous ordinary Spirit Communication Rice, with an average increase of 10 catties per mu of land."

"In the future, the amount of Spirit Rice to be handed over to the sect will be 170 catties per mu, which means 1700 catties per month."

"These Spirit Rice seeds can be cultivated by oneself, but remember not to bring them outside the sect or give them to others."

"There is a resonance between the outer sect's grand formation and this high-yield Spirit Rice. Anyone with ill intentions can be easily detected."

"Once caught, the punishment can range from a whipping in the Punishment Hall to severe torture, or even death."

"This is not a joke. After sowing, you should also check if there are any seeds attached to your body to avoid accidentally taking them out."

Chu Ming couldn't help but think that the Divine Will Sect really treasures these Spirit Rice seeds, guarding them so tightly.

And they are really stingy, requiring the increased yield to be handed over without leaving a single catty for themselves.

Of course, he didn't care. He had so much Spirit Rice that he couldn't finish it all, and he was even too lazy to cultivate the spiritual fields in his space.

Naturally, he had no interest in these high-yield Spirit Rice seeds.

After all, he had already cultivated Spirit Rice seeds that increased the yield by 20%.

Chu Ming smiled and took the bag of seeds. "No problem, I have already sensed them with my divine sense. If there are seeds on my body, I will naturally remove them in advance."

"Our sect's formation is so tight that even if we hold them, we can't take them out."

Liu Fan nodded with a smile. "Yes, I heard that as long as you pass through the formation, even the high-yield Spirit Rice in the High-Level Storage Law Treasures can be sensed."

"So there is no way to take the Spirit Rice seeds out of the sect."

Chu Ming was secretly surprised. The so-called High-Level Storage Law Treasures are Law Treasures like the Dragon Head Staff that can merge with the body.

Although the Dragon Head Staff was obviously more high-level, he couldn't guarantee that the Spirit Rice inside wouldn't be detected after passing through the formation.

To be on the safe side, it's better not to get too close to the formation. Even if he had to go, he would take off the Dragon Head Staff in advance.

After a brief chat, Liu Fan left, and Xiao Yuying took the seeds and started sowing.

She couldn't help but say, "Indeed, we won't receive any of the surplus yield. It's all handed over."

Chu Ming smiled, "They set up such a big formation, naturally not for our benefit."

"But for us, the income from this amount of Spirit Rice is not much."

Xiao Yuying continued sowing with a smile, "Well, but I still want to continue farming this land."

"I can earn sixty spirit stones a month, which is much more than when I was a menial laborer before."

"It's not troublesome to take care of the spiritual fields, it's quite easy."

As she spoke and laughed, a jumping leech attacked her face, but she easily dodged it.

Then she spat out a ball of flames, burning the leech to death, with smooth and flowing movements.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ming couldn't help but think of the first day he met her.

Now she has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, far from the weak junior sister who needed his protection back then.

Xiao Yuying seemed to have thought of the past as well and couldn't help but show a brilliant smile.

"Senior Brother, can I handle things on my own now?"

Chu Ming nodded with a smile, "Yes, at least I don't have to worry about you when it comes to planting Spirit Rice."

After chatting for a while, Chu Ming heard footsteps in the distance. He switched his perspective and saw Wu Changqing's disciple approaching.

Before long, the disciple appeared outside the door.

"Senior Brother Chu, Elder Wu has returned and wants to see you."

Chu Ming pretended to be puzzled, "Has Senior Uncle returned so soon?"

"Didn't he go to participate in the Dragon Gate Trial?"

The young disciple smiled bitterly, "Well... Senior Brother will know when he goes and sees for himself."

Chu Ming pondered for a moment, "Alright, you go back first. I'll tidy up and go over immediately."

After settling his junior sister, he changed into a new white Dao robe and headed towards the guest room in the council hall.

Wu Changqing was already sitting by the table, and due to the Dao robe, his missing leg was not revealed.

Chu Ming didn't pay much attention to his leg and walked over with a smile, "Senior Uncle, you're back?"

Wu Changqing nodded expressionlessly, "Mm, I'm back."

"Come, have a seat."

Chu Ming walked over with a smile, and Wu Changqing swept his spiritual sense, sensing Chu Ming's cultivation level.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Junior nephew, you've already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

Chu Ming sat down and nodded with a smile, "I'm just a mediocre disciple. I just broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining recently."

"Very good!" Wu Changqing exclaimed excitedly, "You truly have extraordinary talent!"

"The Five Elements Art is so difficult to cultivate, and you've reached the eighth level of Qi Refining in such a short time."

"Once you reach the eighth level of Qi Refining, the ninth level is not far away."

"Although you have the Five-Colored Mixed Spirit Root, the advantage of mixed spirit roots lies in being able to cultivate spells of multiple attributes."

"Once you grow up, your strength will definitely be outstanding!"

"In the future, once you pass the trial to enter the inner sect, you can definitely hold a position in the Martial Hall."

If he really entered the inner sect, Chu Ming naturally didn't want to fight in the Martial Hall. It would be better to find a quiet Cave Mansion to cultivate.

Instead of directly responding, he used his spiritual sense to sense Wu Changqing's leg and pretended to be surprised, "Senior Uncle, your leg..."

Wu Changqing's face was still somewhat excited, but when he heard Chu Ming's words, his expression suddenly became desolate.

He lifted his Dao robe, revealing the broken leg inside.

"Ah, I thought the Dragon Gate trial wouldn't be too difficult for me, especially since I collected so much information in the past two months."

"But who would have thought that as soon as I reached the second level, I encountered a giant crab Demonic Beast that I had never heard of before."

"It used illusions, and I didn't react in time, so it snapped off my right leg."

"After a bitter battle, I managed to kill it, but I had no intention of continuing the trial. I could only choose to withdraw."

Chu Ming suppressed his amusement and tried to imagine some sad things.

His nose tingled, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked, "How could this happen?"

"Senior Uncle, with your status, can't you have your severed limb healed in the inner sect?"

"Has Wang Ming's severed arm already been healed?"

Wu Changqing sighed, "The Spirit Medicine needed to heal severed limbs requires five hundred sect contribution tokens to exchange."

"Wang Ming got his through the contribution tokens accumulated by the Punishment Hall Elder."

"I'm usually in the outer sect, where would I get so many contribution tokens?"

"It's difficult to obtain sect contribution tokens. Inner sect disciples only receive contribution symbols for completing general tasks."

"To obtain contribution tokens, you must achieve significant merits."

Chu Ming said earnestly, "If I have the opportunity to obtain contribution tokens, I will definitely give them to Senior Uncle in the future."

Wu Changqing nodded, "Sigh, you're considerate."

"It's also because I usually take care of you."

"Take these two thousand spirit stones for now."

As he spoke, he brought out another box of spirit stones. Chu Ming declined for a while, but in the end, he accepted them.

However, Chu Ming naturally didn't take the matter of contribution tokens to heart. He was just saying it.

It must be difficult to obtain, so it must be very useful. Wouldn't it be great to keep it for himself?

Just then, a disciple wearing a gray Dao robe from the inner sect walked in.

"Hello, Senior Uncle Wu. This is a jade box sent by Elder Tang from the inner sect."

"It should be to inform Senior Uncle Wu that a qualification test for alchemy will be held in the outer sect to recruit a group of alchemy disciples for Azure Spirit Peak."

"Please read the specific contents, Senior Uncle."
