“Do you have seeds of spiritual plants?”

After leaving Wen Yulong, Chu Liang immediately returned to the Dan Ding Hall, inquiring about the seeds of spiritual plants.

There was a spiritual plant garden cultivated by himself on Shu Mountain, naturally, there were also seeds of heaven and earth treasures, but usually, very few disciples bought these, so the managing disciple was slightly stunned when he heard it.

“I have managed a small flower garden myself, and I want to try planting some spiritual plant seeds to see if they can germinate.” Chu Liang smiled with an innocent and simple face.

The real purpose of asking for seeds was somewhat unspeakable, so he didn’t say it directly.

The managing disciple looked at him, his eyes as if looking at a walking daydream, “If the junior brother needs it, we do have some here, but the price may be a bit expensive.”

Expensive, was relative to the result of getting nothing.

In fact, the few spiritual plant seeds he showed to Chu Liang were all priced less than a hundred sword coins.

After all, very few people in the cultivation world buy and sell spiritual plant seeds, because it’s not that you can grow them just by having seeds. A spiritual plant can produce many seeds, but to cultivate all these seeds, even the top immortal sects do not have this strength.

Occasionally, there would be Shu Mountain disciples who were delusional and came to ask, attempting to grow spiritual plants themselves, but the end result was often disappointment.

“This is Taiyang Grass, this is…” The managing disciple began to introduce to Chu Liang.

Chu Liang raised his hand, “Senior brother, you don’t have to tell me, just tell me, which one is the most expensive when grown?”

He asked bluntly.

“Heh.” The managing disciple smiled and said, “That would naturally be the seeds of the Ascension Grass.”

“Ascension Grass?” Chu Liang asked, “Does Shu Mountain actually have its seeds?”

“In history, the predecessors of Shu Mountain have retrieved Ascension Grass a few times, and two seeds were left behind. One of them was experimented by the senior elders of Dan Ding Hall, but no matter what, they couldn’t grow it. No one knows why, the other one is left here.” The managing disciple pointed at a large milky white seed.

“Then I’ll take this one, how much is it?” Chu Liang asked.

Since it was a trial of a dream, why not make it a big one. If he could grow an Ascension Grass, it would be much more valuable to him than other heaven and earth treasures.

“If you want it, take it for a hundred sword coins.” The managing disciple said.

“Okay.” Chu Liang paid promptly.

“If you can’t grow it, just send it back to us, we’ll buy it back for twenty sword coins.” The managing disciple added, “After all, it’s a seed of a rare spiritual plant, it still has some collection value.”

“…” Chu Liang was speechless.

Alright.

That’s really black.

Leaving Dan Ding Hall, he immediately rushed to the cave where the golden skeleton was once buried. Finding no changes around, he was relieved that no one had been here.

“Senior, I’m sorry.”

He came to the place where he had buried the skeleton before, bowed, and then dug a bit to confirm that the golden skeleton was still there.

Then he carefully buried the seed of the Ascension Grass in the chest of the skeleton, covered it with soil, watered it, and sprinkled some plant spirit, basically giving everything he could think of.

After everything was done, he stood up again.

“Senior, if you can give me an Ascension Grass, I will offer sacrifices every year and incense every year, and I will definitely not take your grass for nothing.”

“Senior, please!”

…

The next day, Chu Liang received a flying letter from the Sword Exchange Pavilion.

The letter informed him that the group going to the Immortal’s Marsh was already formed, and if he was ready, he could reply that he could set off. Anyway, he couldn’t wait for the Green Leaf artifact to be repaired, so Chu Liang replied immediately.

Soon, the flying letter came back again, instructing him to immediately gather at the Sword Exchange Pavilion.

That was quick.

Chu Liang didn’t have much to prepare, he went there easily by himself.

Going to the Immortal’s Marsh was something every Shu Mountain disciple would do when they formed their golden core, but over the thousands of years, how many people could really find the Ascension Grass? Everyone treated it as a luck-testing activity, and didn’t hold too much hope.

It’s a pity that the Immortal’s Marsh was dangerous, and he couldn’t bring the Koi fish, otherwise the chance of encountering Ascension Grass would be greater.

When he arrived at the Sword Exchange Pavilion, he saw Xu Ziyang, who was already waiting there in a neat and vigorous outfit, with a cold face. He stood there upright, with an imposing aura, attracting the attention of passing disciples.

Some people were like this, even in the dark, they would shine like fireflies.

Jiang Yuebai was like this, Xu Ziyang was too, and Chu Liang hoped that one day he could also grow into such a proud character.

“Senior Brother Xu.” Chu Liang nodded in greeting.

“Hmm.” Xu Ziyang nodded slightly.

So cold, Chu Liang muttered to himself, wondering if it was because he had rejected his application to become his uncle.Just as Chu Liang was wondering what to say to Xu Ziyang, a joyful call came from the side, “Brother Xu!”

A tall woman in plain clothes was seen running over from the square. She wore a tassel long skirt, covered with beige trousers, her hair tied up in a high ponytail, with a few strands of hair fluttering in front of her forehead. Her face was as bright as a silver plate, her eyebrows and eyes were soft, and her eyes were naturally charming as they moved.

“Um.” Xu Ziyang nodded slightly.

Seeing his indifference towards the beautiful woman, Chu Liang felt balanced.

It seemed that this guy was aloof to everyone.

“Hello, senior sister.” Chu Liang, seeing a fellow practitioner, immediately greeted politely, “My name is Chu Liang, from Silver Sword Peak.”

This woman seemed to be not only older than him, but perhaps even older than Xu Ziyang, so it was definitely correct to call her senior sister.

“Haha, junior brother Chu.” The woman smiled softly, “I know you. You were outstanding at Jiang Jiang’s lecture the other day. There’s probably no one better than you in the third realm of Shu Mountain.”

“I dare not accept such praise.” Chu Liang quickly responded modestly.

“My name is Chen Su, from Lingxi Peak.” The woman continued, “I am also a disciple of the Dan Ding Hall who refines elixirs. If you have prepared the materials, I can refine the external elixir for you for free.”

“Thank you so much, senior sister Chen!” Chu Liang laughed.

The process of forming the Golden Elixir involves transforming an external elixir into an internal one, a process that is quite complicated. The first step is to refine the prepared materials into an external elixir. The refining of the external elixir is not difficult, but if one knows nothing about the way of refining elixirs, it is definitely impossible.

Many people would ask Dan Ding Hall to refine it for them.

While they were chatting, another greeting came from behind, “Brother Xu!”

Everyone turned to look and saw a thin man with narrow eyes in a scholar’s robe, walking quickly towards them.

As he walked, he greeted, “Brother Xu, sorry I’m late. This senior sister, sorry. This is…”

When he saw Chu Liang, he paused.

Chu Liang found him quite familiar.

This seemed to be Shang Ziliang, the son of Shang Shuwen, the master of Cloud Remote Peak, whom he had met before. Considering his “relationship” with Master Shang, it was quite awkward.

Upon careful calculation, besides himself, there were three people in the team, two of whom could be said to have a grudge against his master.

Shang Ziliang’s impression of Chu Liang was much deeper than Chu Liang’s of him.

He had previously plotted against Chu Liang in secret, but each time Chu Liang benefited while he himself suffered a heavy blow.

After being blackmailed by Di Nvfeng last time, Shang Shuwen quickly found out that it was his son who had been playing tricks behind his back. In a fit of anger, he put Shang Ziliang under house arrest.

It was only because they needed to go out to find the Ascension Grass that he was released, and he didn’t expect to be in the same team with Chu Liang already.

Because of the house arrest, he naturally missed the lecture and didn’t know about Chu Liang’s performance. He only knew that when he first met Chu Liang, he was only at the initial stage of the Divine Realm.

How long has it been?

He’s ready to form the Golden Elixir?

Is there something wrong?

No, did I remember the time wrong? A day in the cave, a thousand years in the world?

Shang Ziliang was stunned.

Xu Ziyang, on the other hand, completely ignored his greeting, turned around, and said coldly, “Let’s go.”

Without even a “hmm”.

Xu Ziyang walked to the edge of the square, whistled, and a huge golden eagle with a radiant body swooped down with a sharp cry, bringing a gust of wind and stopping in front of them.

Whoosh—

The wind it stirred up almost made people unable to stand.

A fifth realm spiritual beast, the Golden Winged Eagle.

Xu Ziyang’s mount, rumored to evolve into a Golden Winged Roc when it reaches the seventh realm.

He was the first to mount the eagle, followed by the others. Then, with a whoosh, they shot out like an arrow, and everyone had to quickly grab the feathers of the eagle.

So fast.

It took a while to adapt to this super speed.

Seeing them gradually stabilize, Xu Ziyang turned around and said, “We are going to Xianren Ze this time to find the Ascension Grass. I believe you all know that the biggest point about finding Ascension Grass is… don’t hold any hope, otherwise you will definitely be disappointed. You should treat it as a trial, so you won’t be disappointed.”

“It is said that Xianren Ze was formed from the blood of celestial beings and earthly evil gods in a great battle. Only when a celestial being falls here will the Ascension Grass appear.”

“This saying is naturally a bit exaggerated, but it also shows its rarity. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it appears once in a hundred years. And not only our sect’s top-grade Golden Elixir requires Ascension Grass as a material, even if we encounter the emergence of Ascension Grass, we still have to compete with disciples from other sects.”

When it came to serious matters, he spoke a bit more.”Of course, the most important thing is to protect yourself.” He finally emphasized, “Stay close to me at all times, don’t stray too far.”

“Not only are there opportunities in the Immortal Ze, but also…”

“Ba.”
