Li Qingshan was slightly taken aback. Then, he laughed out loud, his laughter echoing in the rain. He was extremely happy. He set off towards beyond the Nine Heavens. Along the way, it was not just for a promise, but also for meeting such a cute girl on the way.
"I'm willing to listen to senior sister's teachings."
Ruan Yaozhu said, "Don't laugh. There will be times when you'll be frustrated."
Li Qingshan smiled, "Since I've come to the Human Realm, my greatest fortune is meeting you. Even if I'm a little frustrated, I can only endure it."
"Same to you." Ruan Yaozhu could not help but avert her gaze, avoiding his burning gaze. She looked back at the many clones and puppets plowing in the fields, "Maybe I should give you some more work."
Li Qingshan clasped his hands, "I couldn't ask for more!"
As a result, his "responsible field" expanded from a radius of five kilometers to a radius of fifty kilometers. It expanded by twenty-five times, and he was never disturbed again.
He did not let Ruan Yaozhu down. With the powerful deduction ability of the Spirit Turtle Transformation and the keen senses of the Qilin Transformation, he used the many shadow clones conjured from the Heavenly Tome of Freedom to work hard day and night. Not only did he complete the basic work, but he also did everything he could to stimulate the vitality of all the plants, making them grow more and more vigorous.
Another month passed like this. The Hundred Herb Garden entered winter, senior sister.
When the first snow fell, the fine snow drifted down and covered the ground. Ruan Yaozhu arrived on the back of a deer.
Li Qingshan was cultivating under the Golden Leaf Bodhi tree. He did not feel the flow of time at all. The last time they met seemed like yesterday. In the blink of an eye, he saw Ruan Yaozhu's smile again.
Ruan Yaozhu looked around and smiled in satisfaction, "You've done well."
As she said that, she flicked her fingers.
The badge on Li Qingshan's chest lit up. He checked with his spiritual sense and was slightly surprised, "So many!"
Ruan Yaozhu smiled, "Originally, your reward should be half contribution and half bookmarks, but I made the decision for you and gave you both contributions. There's also an additional reward."
"Is this in line with the rules? Don't let Le Tian find fault with me and say I cheated. "
Over a month in the Human Realm. More than a year had already passed in the Five Continents World. Under the operations of Green Towering Mountain and the Banyan Tree King, a city of novelists was rising. It had already caused a wave in the entire world, and countless people had thrown themselves into this cause. Soon, he would be able to bloom and bear fruit, and then he could openly cheat.
"What Le Tian? He's your senior brother. When you see me, you must call me Senior Sister. Do you understand? "
Ruan Yaozhu lectured. However, she usually didn't have any majestic aura and still appeared weak and weak.
Li Qingshan smiled and said, "As the saying goes, there is no father and son in a casino, not to mention brothers and sisters."
Ruan Yaozhu shook her head helplessly: "Don't worry, using bookmarks to exchange for contribution points, this is a common practice in the sect. There won't be any problems. "
"I'm just worried that you'll be at a disadvantage."
"The better the Hundred Herb Garden is managed, the better. The more spirit herbs I supply to the sect, the more contribution points and bookmarks I can get from the Myriad Nature Sect. How can I lose out? "
"That's good." Li Qingshan looked at the nine-colored deer strangely, wondering why she didn't interrupt today.
The nine-colored deer raised her head proudly and closed her eyes. After what Ruan Yaozhu said that day, she decided not to talk to Li Qingshan anymore, but because of Ruan Yaozhu's unusual appearance when she returned to the cave abode last time, she still wanted to help her master keep an eye on him.
Ruan Yaozhu praised: "The Book of Freedom is indeed mysterious. He's actually able to create so many clones while cultivating. "
"It's just a small matter, it's not worth mentioning."
Li Qingshan sniggered. During this period of time, his Heavenly Tome of Freedom could be described as progressing rapidly. His soul nascence had become more and more stable, and he had comprehended the Cloning Shadow Transformation technique more and more thoroughly at the same time, which was why he had so many shadow clones.
However, the Qilin Longevity Strategy wasn't on the right track as expected, it was still stuck in a bottleneck and couldn't get out. If it continued like this. He wouldn't wait for the Qilin Longevity Strategy to reach the first level, he would have to go through the tribulation.
Ruan Yaozhu smiled. "If that's the case, then I'll leave this 50-mile radius to you from now on."
Li Qingshan was surprised. "You don't want me to work and cultivate at the same time?"
Ruan Yaozhu shook her head with a smile.
Li Qingshan thought for a while and said, "Give me some time! When I go through the fourth Heavenly Tribulation, I will have more clones, and then there will be no problem. "
Ruan Yaozhu shook her head again. "No!"
Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows. "Then I can only refuse. I can't take care of such a big place, my work and cultivation will all be delayed."
Ruan Yaozhu looked at his confused and indignant look and found it very interesting. "You're too anxious."
"Why should I be anxious?"
"You're anxious to accumulate contribution points and win the bet. You're anxious to cultivate and improve your cultivation level. It feels like something is forcing you, it's more serious than losing the bet. "
"Shouldn't that be the case?"
"It should be, but you should have heard of 'more haste, less speed'!"
"I only know that '10,000 years is too long, seize every minute'!"
"Oh you! Do you know why I didn't care when you didn't care about these precious plants and only focused on cultivation? Do you know why I didn't care? Do you know why there are four seasons in this Herb Garden? "
These two questions seemed simple, but Li Qingshan thought for a while and couldn't answer them.
Even if Ruan Yaozhu was on his side, she could still wake him up or arrange for someone else to help him take care of these plants. Most plants liked the height of summer and would stop growing once winter came. With the mysterious spells of the Nature Sect, they could completely keep this place in summer. Winter seemed very unnecessary.
"Didn't we set up this Herb Garden to cultivate rare plants and provide resources for the sect? Is there any other purpose?"
Ruan Yaozhu reached out and caught a sparkling snowflake. She said with a smile, "That's what you say, but you can't think about it."
Li Qingshan said, "Senior Martial Sister, don't keep me in suspense."
"Senior Martial Sister's long-winded speech will only annoy you."
"Junior Martial Brother, I'm all ears."
The Nine Colored Deer suddenly coughed twice.
Ruan Yaozhu said, "You have the Qilin Bloodline, so you can feel the heart of the plants and understand their needs. You use water and fertilizer to the extreme, and control it to the slightest degree."
"What's wrong with that?"
"All living beings, born in this world, must experience hardships in order to grow strong. There must be sunlight, rain, and dew, as well as snow and drought. Plants are intelligent, but they are ignorant and heartless. Besides, even humans, who are the most intelligent of all living beings, if you gave them whatever they wanted, what would they become? "
"Heh, at least they'd be fat."
"When you don't care about them and only care about cultivation, these plants will wither a bit, but in order to obtain nutrients, they will take root even deeper. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, so I don't care. Instead, I'm afraid that you're taking care of them too meticulously, so I increased your workload. I didn't think you could do this. "
Li Qingshan sighed, "I didn't think that taking care of them too meticulously would also be a problem."
Ruan Yaozhu smiled and comforted him, "If it were someone else, I would advise them to take care of these plants carefully, because no matter how meticulous they are, they won't be able to reach your level. But you can do better. Cultivation is the same. It's good to advance bravely, but you can't be too hasty. "
"More haste, less speed. If you're too impatient for results and want to do everything, you won't be able to reach your goal. In more practical terms, even if it's just to use their fruits and leaves to refine pills, it'll be most effective if they grow slowly. Let nature take its course!"
A light flashed in Li Qingshan's mind, as if it was the first ray of light that pierced through the dark night. He muttered to himself, "Let nature take its course, let nature take its course … I understand!"
He finally understood why his Qilin Strategy of Longevity had always been stagnant. It wasn't because he was too "evil", but because he was too impatient.
All along, he had adhered to the words "advance bravely", advancing without fear of hardships and dangers. This spirit had long since fused into his blood, becoming a kind of instinct.
The bottleneck of cultivating the Qilin Strategy of Longevity stemmed from this belief. However, the Qilin Transformation was different from other transformations. It wasn't that he wasn't diligent enough. On the contrary, he was too diligent and spent too much energy.
If there was a common characteristic among the rare flowers and plants in the Hundred Herb Garden, it would be that they grew very slowly. Some spiritual trees didn't even change after more than ten years.
However, he was too impatient. Thus, he did good deeds and accumulated virtue just to be in line with the Qilin's path. Thus, he cultivated diligently, wishing that he could devote all his energy.
It was like planting a seed that didn't germinate, so he watered it more and applied more fertilizer. He even couldn't help but dig it up to see if there was a problem with the seed. In the end, things didn't go as he wished. The seed didn't have a problem, but he had a problem.
He once heard a story about a hunchback with the surname of Guo who was very good at planting trees. There was never a tree that didn't grow well, and it was very lush. Others couldn't learn it. When someone asked him, he said, "I can't make the tree grow quickly or live long. I'm just following the nature of the tree. I can make the roots stretch out, make the soil firm, and so on. "
Once the tree was planted, there was no need to care too much and let the tree grow naturally. Others were either too careless or too worried. They would look at the tree in the morning and touch it at night. They would even shake it to see if the roots were deep. If they peeled the bark to see if the tree had dried up, they would kill the tree instead.
"The Qilin takes pity on the common people." Originally, as long as one had a benevolent heart, he would have the foundation to cultivate the Qilin Strategy of Longevity. However, he could never become a good person. It was inevitable that he would fall into a dilemma. The more he wanted to be in line with the Qilin's path, the more he would deviate from the Qilin's path.
The Qilin's path didn't lie in being benevolent and kind, but in letting nature take its course. It was like the growth of plants and trees, withering and flourishing with each passing year.
As long as he didn't completely abandon his benevolent heart, the Qilin Transformation would grow like a big tree. Killing intent and evil thoughts were just necessary to go through wind, frost, rain, and snow. It wasn't possible, and it didn't need to be.
