Chu Li felt that he had eaten to his heart's content during this meal. He was so satisfied that Qin Huaichuan could not even catch his breath. Chu Li felt elated.
The rain came and went quickly. By the time Chu Li finished his meal, the rain had stopped and the weather had cleared up.
The air was fresh and the sun was shining brightly. It was as if the rain had never happened.
As soon as he returned to the valley of the Spirit Medicine Nursery and stepped into the valley, Zhou Huang's round body blocked his way and glared at him angrily.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Elder Zhou, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong!" Zhou Huang gritted his teeth. "Brat, do you know that you have to cover the Golden Glow Grass as soon as it rains? They can't stand the heavy rain and will drown."
Chu Li said, "It's okay. I have Buddhist scriptures that can help them get through this."
"Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures again!" Zhou Huang gritted his teeth. "Brat, if the Golden Glow Grass dies, I'll seal your mouth so that you can never chant scriptures again!"
Chu Li nodded. "No problem!"
"Alright, hurry up and go take a look!" Zhou Huang scoffed.
Chu Li said, "Elder Zhou, you're breaking the rules."
"What rules?"
"Didn't we agree in our bet that you can't interfere with how I plant the Golden Glow Grass?" Chu Li shook his head. "Elder Zhou, you're breaking the agreement."
"Did I interfere? How did I interfere? "Zhou Huang scoffed." Did I go to your place to take a look? Did I enter your Spirit Medicine Nursery? "
"Alright!" Chu Li shook his head helplessly. "Can I leave now?"
"Get lost!" Zhou Huang waved his hand and strode away. "Don't block my way!"
Chu Li shook his head and walked away. He returned to his Spirit Medicine Nursery and passed by Cui Er's Spirit Medicine Nursery. Cui Er was busy draining the soil with a shovel.
Chu Li greeted him. "Senior Brother Cui Er."
When Cui Er looked up and saw him, he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see him.
He was afraid of Zhao Dahe now. Zhao Dahe was pretending to be weak. Although he looked like a brute, he was actually a ruthless person. He pressured Qin Huaichuan to the point that he could not breathe and forced Qin Huaichuan to pass on the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture to him. Then, he drove Cui Da out of Great Light Peak!
He couldn't defeat such a vicious fellow, so it was better for him to pretend that he didn't know him.
Chu Li laughed and said, "Second Brother Cui, we are neighbors now. We should take care of each other in the future."
Cui Er waved his hand without raising his head.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I want to talk about Eldest Senior Brother Cui. He was the one who dug his own grave by uprooting all the Golden Glow Grass. In the end, not a single one was left."
Cui Er couldn't help but raise his head and say, "Cui Da said he didn't hoe that much."
"Then maybe God is punishing him, blaming him for having evil intentions," Chu Li said.
"You …" Cui Er snorted and continued working hard.
Chu Li said, "What you're doing is useless."
Cui Er didn't say a word and just focused on his work.
Chu Li shook his head and returned to his Spirit Medicine Nursery with his hands behind his back.
The Golden Glow Grass looked very fresh. After being watered by the rain, it looked fresh and green, but he knew that this was not a good thing. It had drunk too much water, and if it drank any more, it would not be able to take it.
He sat on the bed and circulated his Withered Qi to sweep across the Golden Glow Grass.
Soon, the Golden Glow Grass drooped and no longer looked like its previous self. It was like a sick person.
In this state, it couldn't eat or drink, so it stopped drinking water.
This state lasted until evening. By then, the moisture in the Spirit Earth had almost sunk. When it started drinking water, it returned to normal and was no longer affected by the heavy rain.
Although Zhou Huang stopped interfering with him, he still secretly watched him.
He saw that Chu Li had returned to the Spirit Medicine Nursery and had no intention of draining the water. Instead, Chu Li sat on the bed and chanted for an hour before he began to meditate and cultivate. He didn't care about the Golden Glow Grass at all. He didn't even come out to check on the Golden Glow Grass.
The Golden Glow Grass soon became wilted and drooped. Zhou Huang flew into a rage and wanted nothing more than to run over and grab Chu Li's head to give him a good beating. However, when he thought about the bet, he could only force himself not to do so.
Looking at the drooped Golden Glow Grass, Zhou Huang felt like his own child was sick. He didn't eat his lunch or dinner and hated Chu Li to the core.
At night, the Golden Glow Grass regained its vigor under the moonlight. Zhou Huang was worried that it was a sudden recovery, so he secretly watched it. The next morning, the Golden Glow Grass was still full of vigor, which was completely different from the Golden Glow Grass in the Spirit Medicine Nursery.
He let out a sigh of relief and calmed down. However, he couldn't help but feel surprised. Was chanting really that effective? It could even help the Golden Glow Grass overcome the flood? This was simply unimaginable!
In the following days, Chu Li would occasionally hoe the grass and then ignore it.
While Zhou Huang was in a state of shock and fear, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this month, Chu Li didn't leave the Great Light Peak at all. Zhou Huang kept an eye on him, so he couldn't leave and give himself away.
Other than eating at the Flavorful Tower, he didn't go to the martial arts field. Instead, he went straight back to the Spirit Medicine Nursery to cultivate.
He was cultivating three scriptures at the same time. His Divine Light Technique improved by leaps and bounds. One month of cultivation was equivalent to several years of hard work. His inner energy was much more profound and had far surpassed Qin Huaichuan's inner energy cultivation level.
When he was in the Flavorful Tower, he estimated the cultivation level of the disciples. If they didn't have any hidden secret techniques, then his cultivation level was already the strongest. No one could surpass him. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was very helpful to him.
He rarely went to the Flavorful Tower. Sometimes, he would go there once a day, and sometimes, he would go there once every few days. He would meditate and cultivate for a few days at a time. The Concentration Talisman made him energetic, so he could cultivate without rest.
He would only chant the scriptures occasionally. Most of the time, he didn't chant the scriptures anymore. He spent most of his time in cultivation.
Zhou Huang's worries slowly dissipated. Soon, the Golden Glow Grass began to show signs of abnormality. It grew extremely fast and was abnormally vigorous, far more than the Spirit Medicine Nursery next to it.
After a month, the Golden Glow Grass had actually matured and could be harvested.
In the early morning, Zhou Huang came to the Spirit Medicine Nursery and lowered his head to carefully examine the Golden Glow Grass. Then, he pulled out a stalk and examined it closely. It was indeed mature and should be harvested immediately. If he delayed any longer, he would miss out on the best medicinal effects.
Zhou Huang looked in through the window. Chu Li was still meditating on the bed in the house. Chu Li's breathing was long and slow as if he was in hibernation. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to meditate for a day or two.
When he saw this, he couldn't stand it anymore and knocked on the window.
Chu Li woke up from his meditative state. His gaze was distant and calm as he looked at Zhou Huang.
"Young man, it's time to harvest the Golden Glow Grass!" Zhou Huang called out.
Chu Li got off the bed and opened the door. He gave a fist salute and said, "Elder Zhou, why are you here?"
"If I didn't come, how much longer would you have delayed!" Zhou Huang said impatiently. "The Golden Glow Grass is ripe. It's time to harvest!"
Chu Li looked at the Golden Glow Grass around him and smiled. "Alright, I'll harvest them today."
He turned his head and asked, "Elder Zhou, what kind of pills can I exchange these Golden Glow Grass for?"
"What kind of pills do you want?"
"Is there anything that can make me handsome?" Chu Li touched his face. "This face is too ugly."
