He could vaguely guess the mystery behind it.
On the other hand, the Omniscient Mirror came from him. The Intersection of Heaven, Earth, and Man was a formation that affected people with the Heaven and Earth. The Omniscient Mirror came from a man and was restricted by the formation. On the other hand, the spiritual energy came from the Heaven and Earth and was not affected by the formation.
Although the Life and Death Scripture's manipulation of spiritual energy was strong, it was not as clear as the Omniscient Mirror. He could only vaguely sense it. The Life and Death Scripture's level was not deep enough, or else it might be as good as the Omniscient Mirror.
The spiritual energy sensed that the two stalks of Soaring Grass had sunk into the ground and were no longer supported by vitality.
Through the Life and Death Scripture, he made these two stalks of Ascension Grass fall into a state of hibernation, as if they were dead. However, they would maintain a wisp of faintly discernible vitality. As long as he sent a wisp of the Life and Death Scripture's spiritual qi to them regularly, they would be able to maintain their life for a very long time.
Then, he used the two Soaring Grasses as the foundation and spread his spiritual energy. He found two more Soaring Grasses and did the same thing.
Chu Li sat at the top of God Eye Peak for a day and a night, but no one came to deliver food to him. It was as if they had forgotten about him. This made Chu Li wonder if the two elders had thrown him to the back of their minds and forgotten about him. The entire Prophecy Pavilion had forgotten about him.
Early the next morning, when the two old men came out of meditation and came to the Spirit Medicine Garden to take a look, they saw that the other two stalks of Soaring Grass were also yellow and dead.
"Ahhh!" The yellow-faced old man screamed at the sky.
The white-haired old man also widened his eyes.
Their faces all became gloomy. They knew that the situation wasn't good. This was a sign of an illness, and not the pampering they had previously thought.
Two of them had died, and now another two had died. If they couldn't find the cause of the illness, it was likely that more Ascension Grass would continue to die. Two Ascension Grass was equivalent to a Ascension Pill. The loss of dozens of years of cultivation was far too disastrous.
What was even more frightening was that a single mistake might cause all of the Ascension Grass to perish. If that happened, they would simply be the sinners of the Pavilion of Heaven's Secret!
"Senior Martial Brother Li, lower your voice!" He hurriedly shouted and lowered his voice. "You're afraid that others won't know what's going on!"
The yellow-faced old man felt heartache as he looked at the two withered Ascension Grass in pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible!"
"What kind of illness is it?" The white-haired old man asked.
The yellow-faced old man shook his head.
He crouched on the ground and sniffed the spiritual soil, then sniffed the spiritual soil around him. Then, he carefully turned over the spiritual soil at their roots. There was nothing strange. He raised his head and sniffed the air again. In the end, he shook his head and said, "This is not an illness!"
His senses towards spiritual plants were extremely sharp, penetrating deep into his bones. If there really was a disease, he would be able to smell it. However, right now, the spiritual soil and spiritual plants were as fresh as usual, without any signs of being infected.
According to his judgment, these two stalks of Soaring Grass had died of old age and were not infected. They were no different from the two he had buried yesterday.
"If it's not an illness, then what is it?" the white-haired old man asked.
"… Unbelievable!" The yellow-faced old man, Li Chengfeng, shook his head. "It shouldn't be an illness."
"What's that?" The white-haired old man, Wu Haojiang, snorted.
"… My lifespan is up."
"How is this possible?!"
Li Chengfeng frowned and did not say anything.
If it was really as he thought, then it was really troublesome. This meant that this place was no longer suitable for growing Soaring Grass. They needed to find another place. Soaring Grass needed a harsh environment. Finding a suitable place to grow was extremely difficult. Who knew how many seeds of Soaring Grass would be lost in the process!
"Senior Brother Li, what should we do with these two stalks?" Wu Haojiang asked.
Li Chengfeng sighed and looked at the two Soaring Grass reluctantly. He shook his head and said, "Bury them."
"I don't think we can bury them here anymore!" Wu Haojiang said in a deep voice, "The further the better! … Otherwise, bury them at the foot of the mountain! "
"Why bother!" Li Chengfeng was a little reluctant.
Wu Haojiang said, "Take out the other two and bury them at the foot of the mountain. We can't bury them here. What if they really infected us? … We can't not be careless. For the sake of the other Soaring Grass, we can only do this! "
He also knew Li Chengfeng's feelings towards the Soaring Grass. They were like his own flesh and blood. Even if he died, he did not want them to be too far away from him. He wanted to bury them by his side and see them at any time.
Li Chengfeng's yellowish face looked gloomy. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Alright, bury them at the foot of the mountain."
Wu Haojiang revealed a smile. Li Chengfeng was finally willing to listen to his advice. He did not have to waste his breath.
"You stay here. I will bury them," Li Chengfeng sighed and said.
Wu Haojiang nodded.
Li Chengfeng dug out the two Soaring Grass he had already buried and brought them along with the other two. Then, he floated down the mountain and arrived at a pine forest at the foot of the Dreamy Cloud Mountain. He dug a hole and carefully buried them before covering them with soil.
The four Soaring Grass were buried under a pine tree. He made a mark on the pine tree.
He did not have any intention of coming back in the future. He just did not want these four Soaring Grass to die without anyone remembering them before they could be refined into Soaring Pills.
He stood there for a while and left with a face full of melancholy.
After entering the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he met a beautiful young woman on the way back to the forbidden area. She had a slender and graceful figure and an exquisite oval face. She was walking slowly with a long sword in her hand. She looked elegant and charming. It was obvious that she had just returned from sword practice.
"Greetings, Master's Junior Li." The young woman cupped her fists and bowed.
"Xiao Wu, send food to the guy from Divine Eye Peak. He will face the wall," Li Chengfeng said in a low voice.
Song Wu was stunned. She cupped her fists and asked, "Which Senior Brother will face the wall as punishment?"
"The newest disciple, Xu Hun."
"So it's Junior Brother Xu. What did he do wrong?"
"He's asking for trouble by barging into the forbidden area!"
"Yes," Song Wu said. "Junior Brother Xu has an eccentric temper. It's not surprising that he would do such a thing."
"As long as he doesn't starve to death. Let him have a meal every three days." Li Chengfeng scoffed.
It was only after Chu Li barged in that the Soaring Grass acted up, but he still vented his anger and grievance on Chu Li.
"… Yes." Song Wu pursed her lips and smiled.
Li Chengfeng took out a black sword-shaped wooden token from his sleeve and tossed it to her. Then, he left slowly.
Song Wu carefully took the black token. With this, she could freely enter and exit Divine Eye Peak. Without this token, she could not enter Divine Eye Peak.
She carried the sword and left gracefully. She changed her clothes and went to the dining hall. Then, she took a lunchbox and glided up Divine Eye Peak.
Divine Eye Peak was currently shining with golden light. The scorching heat from the sunlight wreaked havoc in Chu Li's internal organs. The pain was unbearable, but it was nothing compared to noon. Chu Li looked relaxed.
He sensed that the four Soaring Grass had left the forbidden area and appeared at the foot of Cloud Dream Mountain. His painstaking and scheming did not go to waste. He managed to steal the Soaring Grass without anyone noticing.
When Chu Li saw Song Wu, he looked at her in surprise.
Song Wu was young but her cultivation level was high. He could only vaguely see the situation in her mind. However, he knew that this graceful figure and delicate and beautiful face had flashed through Xu Hun's mind many times.
Song Wu came to him with a faint fragrance. She smiled sweetly. "Junior Brother Xu, you must be hungry."
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister Song, I thought I was going to starve to death."
Song Wu placed the lunchbox in front of him. She opened it and took out four dishes, two soups, and two bowls of rice. "Hurry up and eat. Junior Brother Xu, what are you doing? How can you barge into the forbidden area so easily?"
