Wang Changsheng didn't know how long he slept. He only knew that when he opened his eyes again, it was already late in the morning. [No pop-up window.]
After yawning lazily, he got up and walked out of the small courtyard outside the house.
Seeing the weeds on the left side of the spirit field, Wang Changsheng bitterly smiled. It seemed that if he wanted to plant spirit herbs in the spirit field, he would have to get rid of these weeds first.
There was a well behind the pavilion. Wang Changsheng used a wooden bucket beside the well to get half a bucket of well water. He cupped his hands and drank two mouthfuls. A cool feeling rose up from his lower abdomen.
Wang Changsheng's spirit was roused. He drank a few more mouthfuls of well water. Then, he used the remaining well water to wash up and walked towards the pond.
As soon as he got close to the pond, a few small fish quickly dived into the water. There were a few pink lotus flowers growing on the edge of the pond. The water in the pond was somewhat muddy, so he couldn't see the situation under the water.
Wang Changsheng took a small petal from one of the lotus flowers and put it in his mouth. He felt that the petal was very sweet, but it didn't contain any spirit energy. It was just an ordinary lotus flower.
Thinking about it, if these lotus flowers were spirit herbs, the previous owner would've taken them away when he moved away. How could he leave them for others?
Because he had eaten a fasting pill before, Wang Changsheng didn't feel hungry. He touched the storage pouch at his waist and took out a silver hoe. There was a faint light on the hoe. It was a magic tool.
This hoe magic tool wasn't given out by the Taiqing Palace. In the storage pouch given out by the Duty Tower, there was a mid-grade sword and a mid-grade flying magic tool.
Speaking of which, the spirit fields used by cultivators to plant spirit herbs were similar to the fields used by mortals. The only difference was that the former's soil was more fertile and contained all kinds of spirit herbs.
Wang Changsheng raised the silver hoe with both hands and fiercely slammed it down on the ground.
Although he didn't pour any magic power into it, the silver hoe was still a magic tool. A thick layer of black soil and weeds were dug up from the ground.
Wang Changsheng took a deep breath and began to crazily work.
At dusk, the sunset glow burned half the sky red, reflecting the pond water and dyeing the entire mountain red.
Wang Changsheng lay on the floor of the corridor, looking at the red sky with a faint smile on his tired face.
After half a day of hard work, more than half of the weeds in the spiritual field had been removed by him. In another day's time, it should be completely cleared.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the weeds in the spirit field. A black python that was several feet long crawled out from the weeds. It was Xiao Hei.
Looking at Xiao Hei's bulging belly, Wang Changsheng smiled.
It was unknown how long this courtyard had been abandoned. In the abandoned spiritual field, there were actually many mice the size of a hen. Wang Changsheng released Xiao Hei to eat these large mice. In addition, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was much richer than in the Spirit Beast Pouch. Xiao Hei could also advance quickly in this environment.
Xiao Hei crawled to Wang Changsheng's side, curled up into a ball, and lazily lay on the ground.
The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon quietly climbed into the sky. At this time, if someone passed by from the sky, they would see that some of the courtyards on the mountain were brightly lit, and from time to time, there would be noise.
Wang Changsheng let out a light breath, got up and walked to the back of the pavilion.
Walking to the side of the well, Wang Changsheng fetched a bucket of well water and poured it on his body. His whole body was indescribably cool.
Wang Changsheng took off the smelly clothes on his body and bathed under the pure white moonlight.
Wearing the clothes given by the Taiqing Palace, Wang Changsheng felt very comfortable. He didn't know what the clothes were made of, but it felt cool to the touch, and warm to the body.
Wang Changsheng could also see that these were just ordinary clothes, not clothes that could resist magic. The Taiqing Palace wasn't so extravagant as to give every disciple a set of clothes.
After returning to the room, Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on the bed. He touched the exquisite storage bag at his waist, and a red jade slip appeared in his hand. He placed it on his forehead and closed his eyes.
Time passed by little by little.
After more than half an hour, Wang Changsheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes. He had a thoughtful expression on his face.
This jade slip mainly introduced the rules and regulations of the Taiqing Palace. Violating any one of the rules would result in a corresponding punishment. For example, one of the Nine Great Commandments — deceiving one's master and destroying one's ancestors. Disciples who committed this crime would not only be punished by having their souls extracted and refined, but their families would also be implicated. This commandment also gave an example.
A disciple of a Core Bearing Stage Elder of the Taiqing Palace secretly practiced some kind of insidious magic. After being discovered by his fellow disciples, he cruelly killed his fellow disciples and injured his master. Then, he escaped from the Taiqing Palace.
After that, the Taiqing Palace issued a warrant for this person to be wanted all over the country. They also sent a law enforcement team composed of Core Bearing Stage Elders. This family also had Core Bearing Stage cultivators, but how could they be a match for the Core Bearing Stage Elders of the Taiqing Palace? Overnight, all the cultivators in this family were killed, and no one escaped.
The forces that had a good relationship with this cultivation family were implicated to a certain extent. After that, they were all suppressed by the Taiqing Palace. Of course, this wasn't mentioned in the jade slip. It was just Wang Changsheng's own guess.
The Nine Great Commandments were the foundation of the Taiqing Palace. Therefore, the punishment set for violating the Nine Great Commandments was quite harsh. Being torn apart by five horses was considered a light punishment. In addition to the Nine Great Commandments, there were also 108 sect rules. The punishment for violating the sect rules was relatively light. The most serious punishment was only the abolition of magic power and expulsion from the sect.
According to the jade slip, the Taiqing Palace had a law enforcement hall in charge of punishment. It was responsible for arresting and punishing disciples who violated the Nine Great Commandments. However, since the establishment of the Taiqing Palace, there weren't many people who dared to violate the Nine Great Commandments.
Wang Changsheng didn't want to violate any of the Commandments and sect rules. Therefore, he carefully memorized each sect rule until he could recite it backwards.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Changsheng lay down in a daze and closed his eyes.
The next morning, Wang Changsheng got up and washed up. Then, he picked up the hoe and began his life as a farmer.
At noon, a blazing sun hung high in the sky. Wang Changsheng wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the vast spirit field. A trace of a smile appeared on his tired face.
The weeds were finally cleared. Next, it was time to plant the spirit herbs.
If it was the spirit herb seeds, the Duty Tower would probably have them. Of course, he didn't know the specifics.
After resting for a while, Wang Changsheng took a bath and changed his clothes. Then, he left the courtyard.
Wang Changsheng didn't immediately take out the flying magic tool issued by the sect. Instead, he walked to an open area and took out the flying magic tool.
This was a flying magic tool shaped like a banana leaf. It was green in color and was about three feet long after it was injected with magic power. It could fit three people at the same time.
With the experience of controlling a flying magic tool, Wang Changsheng quickly familiarized himself with controlling this leaf-shaped flying magic tool. He headed in a certain direction.
Compared to the destroyed Black Cloud Boat, this magic tool's flying speed was much slower.
Along the way, Wang Changsheng met many other disciples of the Taiqing Palace. Some of them were in the 12th or 13th layer of the Qi Refining realm. There were also martial uncles in the Foundation Establishment realm. When these people saw that Wang Changsheng was only in the 10th layer of the cultivation technique, they didn't pay much attention to him and hurriedly left.
After flying for half an incense stick's time, Immortal Wang landed near the Duty Tower.
After putting away the flying magic tool, Wang Changsheng walked into the Duty Tower.
Wang Changsheng didn't stop at the first or second layer. Instead, he went straight to the third layer.
At this moment, there were many green-robed disciples on the third layer. Wang Changsheng saw many familiar figures. Obviously, these people were like him, new disciples.
Wang Changsheng glanced around and walked towards a short and fat old man. He cupped his hands and said, "Martial Uncle, I want some spiritual medicine seeds that have a short maturation period. Do you have them here?"
"Hehe, you've found the right person. When it comes to spiritual medicine, no one is more familiar with it than me." The short and fat old man's gaze swept over the surrounding elders. His eyes revealed a touch of pride. He continued, "Martial Nephew, what kind of spiritual medicine do you want? Do you want one that grows in the soil or in the water? How long does it take to mature?"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Changsheng said, "I want one that grows in the soil. It takes between five to ten years to mature. It's best if it's the kind that is easy to take care of and can be sold quickly."
The short and fat old man smiled and said, "There are many spiritual medicines that meet Martial Nephew's requirements. How about this? I recommend Yellow Ball Grass, Full Moon Flower, and Green Rain Ganoderma. These three spiritual medicines are supplementary medicines for many kinds of spiritual pills. They don't have long maturation periods, just eight to ten years. The seeds of each spiritual medicine are ten spirit stones per jar."
"What about those that grow in the water?"
"There are very few low-level spiritual medicines that grow in the water. There are also certain requirements for the water quality. Moreover, they are not easy to take care of. I don't recommend Martial Nephew to plant spiritual medicines that grow in the water."
After hearing this, Wang Changsheng had a trace of a good impression of the short and fat old man. If the short and fat old man didn't say it, Wang Changsheng would be wasting spirit stones to buy them. After thinking for a while, Wang Changsheng said, "How should I address Martial Uncle?"
"My surname is Bai. You can call me Martial Uncle Bai. Let me say first, this price is set by the sect. I have no right to change the price." The short and fat old man narrowed his eyes and said.
"Well, Martial Uncle Bai, I want one jar of each of these three spiritual medicine seeds." After speaking, Wang Changsheng took out thirty spirit stones and put them on the counter.
