Chapter 61 - Big Brother is so Lonely


Living in this world was so dull. There was no entertainment of the past life, it was even more torturing during the night. Yue Qianchou gradually got used to it after spending a few years. However, Fu Rong's room didn't even have any lightning source, he wondered how she could bear living here for so many years.

There were a lot of fluorescent stones inside the golden bead space. Yue Qianchou wanted to take some of it to light the room, but he thought about it again. The light emitted by the fluorescent stones was pan-blue. He was afraid he would scare himself to sleep seeing Fu Rong's face.

This night, Yue Qianchou climbed to the roof to gaze at the stars. He looked at the little dark room under his butt then turned his sight to the other places where people were living. It was bright and envious. He could only heave a sigh as he returned to his current dwelling.

Inside the dwelling, Fu Rong was sitting cross-legged. Unfortunately, Yue Qianchou's Qi Condensation had reached its limit and he could no longer cultivate to improve it. He planned to ask about the whereabouts of the spiritual plants, with this girl's IQ, she should not suspect anything.

Covered by the bedding that was stretched out, Yue Qianchou secretly took out the jade slip containing the pills' formulas, he prioritized the safety over anything. The purpose was to reconfirm the spiritual plants needed according to the Foundation Establishment pill's formula, making mistake would be foolish.

The divine sense injected into the jade slip and he quickly found the Foundation Establishment pill's formula, Yue Qianchou carefully checked the content.

Core Guarding Orchid, Golden Gang Fruit, Ribs Forging Grass, Spiritual Ice Mushroom, Hybrid Golden Grass, hundred years old ginseng, hundred years old Lingzhi mushroom, Taint Purifying Grass, and Spirit Assembling Grass.

Alright! It's exactly the nine spiritual plants as I have remembered. I didn't know that these hundred years old ginseng and Lingzhi mushroom are also considered as spiritual plants. As far as I have searched the Mulberry Garden, only five kinds were found.

"Martial Aunt Fu Rong." Yue Qianchou recovered his jade slip and called the other party through the rags curtain between them.

"Yes." Replied Fu Rong.

"Does our Mulberry Garden has hundred years old ginseng and hundred years old Lingzhi mushroom?"

Fu Rong answered in wonder, "No, but the forest on the mountain behind the Mulberry Garden has all those kinds. There are not only hundred years old but even some thousand years old, some ginseng even estimated to be perfect grade."

Shit, there is even the legendary thousand years ginseng! Yue Qianchou got excited as he listened, he proceeded to sit down and asked again, "Are the plants abundant?"

"There are a lot of hundred years old but only a few of the thousand years old."

"Haha, I heard that those could be used as medicine. I want to try to eat some." Laughed Yue Qianchou.

Fu Rong replied with a smile, "Ginseng and Lingzhi mushrooms are common plants even in the secular world. It doesn't take a lot of effort to grow them either. The age is what makes them precious. Usually, they would turn into spiritual plants after reaching hundred years old, this case is uncommon in the secular world. For us cultivators, it is wasteful to directly eat the hundred years old ginseng or the hundred years old Lingzhi mushroom, the best way is to take the efficacy by refining them into the medicinal pill."

"I only said it casually." Yue Qianchou smiled and asked again, "Does our Mulberry Garden has Taint Purifying Grass and Spirit Assembling Grass?"

"Not in our Mulberry Garden, there are actually two types of land on the mountain outside our garden. Those were especially for the Taint Purifying Grass and Spirit Assembling Grass." Fu Rong paused a bit and explained thoughtfully, "These two spiritual plants are necessary for the refinement of medicinal pills. Taint Purifying Grass has the function to remove the impurities in the medicine, while the Spirit Assembling Grass can lock the spiritual Qi and the efficacy of the medicine so it won't diminish. These two spiritual plants are used almost for all kinds of medicinal pills. The demand is very high and so these two are the most grown spiritual plants of our Myriad Fragrant Garden."

Originally, he had spent a month searching for all kinds of spiritual plants needed to refine the Foundation Establishment pill, he finally discovered that he hadn't searched far enough. Yue Qianchou heaved a sigh and exclaimed, "There are so many kinds of spiritual plants in our Myriad Fragrant Garden. It must have taken a lot of painstaking efforts to collect those."

Fu Rong replied, "Well, there are disciples of our Immortal-Enchanting Island who have long searched for rare and precious spiritual plants. After collecting many kinds of spiritual plants, our Myriad Fragrant Garden would plant the seeds and grow them in large numbers. Venerated Aunt Jiu of our Mulberry Garden is in charge of the seeds of the various spiritual plants. As long as it is the spiritual plants in the Myriad Fragrant Garden, almost all of the seeds are possessed by her and the elders she is in charge of."

Aunt Pocky Jiu has all kinds of spiritual plants seeds on her hand? Yue Qianchou's heart was beating faster as he was listening, he swallowed his saliva and carefully asked, "Since she has so many seeds, why I don't see many kinds of spiritual plants in the Mulberry Garden?"

Fu Rong explained, "Mulberry Garden is primarily responsible for developing various spiritual plants seeds, not for planting a large number of spiritual plants. There are more precious and rare spiritual plants that cultivated in the Mulberry Garden."

Yue Qianchou did not speak anymore, he sat down on his bed and carefully thought about the information he got. It was a troublesome matter that the spiritual plants' seeds were in Aunt Pocky Jiu's hands. The key problem was that he knew almost nothing about her. Moreover, the old woman had a cultivation of late-stage Tribulation Crossing, it would be very difficult to get the things from her hands. Yue Qianchou's teeth aching endlessly.

Fu Rong was not the kind of person who spoke on her own initiative. Seeing that Yue Qianchou no longer asked, she naturally stopped her speak. Only that she wasn't aware that the latter was worrying about the seeds.

Recalling the scene of Aunt Pocky Jiu that day, even her gaze could already send a shiver to my bones, it's going to be hard ah! However, she seemed to be very affectionate with Yan Zixia on that day. It's really strange, how could a disciple who had just joined was already familiar with Aunt Pocky Jiu? Come to think of it, when I was about to leave, I seemed to have heard someone addressed "Ancestor Grandmother". Who was it? At that time, there were only a few people except Aunt Pocky Jiu.

They are relatives! Yue Qianchou jolted awake from the bed.

If they weren't relative, in this ridiculous self-centered cultivation world, Aunt Pocky Jiu would have no reason to be so affectionate to Yan Zixia. It wasn't because of her beautiful look! Yue Qianchou suddenly realized and slowly laid down, his mind fell on Yan Zixia.

Fu Rong had no idea what he was thinking. She kept surprised by his antics.

As the saying goes, hope is good, but the reality is always cruel.

Since Yue Qianchou arrived at Mulberry Garden, his days would start before the dawn, sometimes he could be seen carrying the buckets of excrement, such days go by. In order to get the spiritual plants seeds, he hit the idea to get closer to Yan Zixia, he often passed by the courtyard gates, hoping to encounter her. Unfortunately, it was to no avail. After several days of checking, Yan Zixia seemed to have disappeared from the Mulberry Garden, not a single glimpse of her figure was seen.

Living at the Mulberry Garden, Yue Qianchou eventually took care of the spiritual plants that were mentioned in the Foundation Establishment pill's formula. Every time, he had the idea to secretly pulled several strains of those spiritual plants. However, Yue Qianchou felt that the seemingly loose environment had an all-looking eye observing every single spot, there was no chance for him to execute his plan. Then, Yue Qianchou hit the idea to gather spiritual plants on the mountain, but it was also failed. When he went to the forest to dig a few hundred years old ginseng and Lingzhi mushrooms, he was driven out and got severely warned.

After trying several times, Yue Qianchou didn't dare to do it again, afraid he would get suspected, he could only wait for a new opportunity to arise.

On a secluded valley in the Myriad Fragrant Garden, a small river was running to the sea, it harbored silvery white fishes. Yue Qianchou casually caught one to eat it and found that the fish taste was unusually delicious. From then on, whenever he got hungry, he would come here to fish. From the corner of the Mulberry Garden, the smell of grilled fish often floated. Fu Rong joined to eat the unique flavor of grilled fish, although her mouth didn't say anything, her facial expression told that she liked it very much.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed by, there was still no sign of the Alchemy Pavilion to ask Yue Qianchou to go back. Although it wouldn't be a good thing to return. The deadlock with Yan Shu had not been resolved. In this way, Yue Qianchou who was waiting for the opportunity led his daily life very regularly. Before the dawn he would pick the excrement from the women's toilets, in the morning he would fertilize the spiritual plants. When he got free time, Yue Qianchou would pass the courtyard gates to try his luck. In the afternoon, he would go fishing then roast the fishes he caught. Yue Qianchou would also occasionally went inside the golden bead space to encourage Chen Feng to return to his business and strive to improve his craft. Guan Yu would often ask him how was his life on the Immortal-Enchanting Island, even if it would get him killed, Yue Qianchou would never say it. After all, picking excrement for a whole year was not a glorious thing, he didn't want anyone in the golden bead space to know. Otherwise, it would be too damaging to his reputation as the Boss.

Day after day, it was so depressing for Yue Qianchou. There were many beautiful women in the Mulberry Garden, he really wanted to snuggle those little or big sisters to find a relief, but none of them let him get close lest having any interest. Late at night, Yue Qianchou was hiding in his blanket and sorrowfully wailed, "Big Brother is so lonely!"

Chapter 60 - Taking Care of Spiritual Plants (3)


The Martial Aunts were not only possessed well-fed bodies, but they were also tall and sturdy. Yue Qianchou felt inferior as a man, he could only heave a sigh.

After asking Fu Rong, He learned that these people were some of those who had only reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Since they have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the trial of Immortal-Enchanting Island had been avoided. After quite some time, their growth had stagnated and they've been judged for having no bright future in their cultivation. Therefore, they have been assigned to this kind of lowest level work.

Looking at the crowd in front of him that was busily picking up the excrement. Yue Qianchou could only stand still. As a man, he was embarrassed to join and snatch their business.

Fu Rong shrank behind him, she also didn't plant to snatch from them.

After waiting for a long time, the crowd was almost completely dispelled. Yue Qianchou walked over to the edge of the pit then his face twitched, the pit was dry. The two people visited several other pits and they got the same result.

This ugly Martial Aunt was weak, not to mention she was timid, without snatching from those Martial Aunts, he really didn't know how she completed the fertilization task. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but ask, "Martial Aunt Fu Rong, the fertilizer is not enough. It's also difficult to get from here, how did you accomplish your daily task?"

Fu Rong murmured, "You don't need to apply the fertilizer every day. It's enough to do it once every three days, doing it too often won't be good for the spiritual plants. I have always come here before the dawn." She told Yue Qianchou this thinking that he was the kind of man that could definitely snatch some from those aunts, who knew that Yue Qianchou was equally felt embarrassed to snatch that thing.

Yue Qianchou silently imagined a scene of the thin woman touched and picked up a large amount of excrement in the darkness.

In fact, he would like to ask, Foundation Establishment cultivators would be able to ride the flying sword, why not using it? However, he thought about it once more, if everyone carried a large excrement riding the flying sword, the scene would be spectacular, it would certainly provoke anger and the elders of the Immortal-Enchanting Island wouldn't agree.

Since the task was to do it once every three days, it didn't matter if they couldn't be able to do it right now.

The two carried the empty buckets and shovel away. At the foot of the hill along the small stream, Fu Rong took care of the tools, the two pairs of thin hands washed the tools delicately and thoroughly.

Although this girl wore worn-out clothes and didn't put any cosmetics, she was diligent and took a good care of her cleanliness. Putting in Yue Qianchou's words, throwing the trash to the cliff just to end up with another trash.

Returning to the Mulberry Garden, Yue Qianchou discovered a problem, he had no place to live in.

The faint anger in his heart manifested but only to gradually calmed down after he saw Fu Rong's dwelling.

Inside the dwelling of his fellow spiritual plants caretaker, it only consisted of a single room, there was a pile of sundries. A bench was built out of two wooden planks and two wooden blocks, this was Fu Rong's bed.

Looking at this narrow and small dwelling, Yue Qianchou couldn't seem to believe it, the price of housing in the past life could be said to be tremendous and many people couldn't afford it, does that phenomenon also exist in this cultivation world? This is beyond imagination! But other disciples of Immortal-Enchanting Island are not like this! Even the worst Ling Feng's group of three in the Alchemy Pavilion had a dwelling with a small courtyard, this Mulberry Garden should also have a lot of empty rooms ah!

This ugly Martial Aunt should have a story that he didn't know. Everything led that she was being abused. People of the past life said that you need money to own a house, here apparently that if you're ugly, you wouldn't be given a house!

When Fu Rong returned to this place, she seemed to be quite relaxed, not so tense compared when she was outside. She told Yue Qianchou contentedly that she was five or six years old when she started living here and it's been 15 years, this dwelling was a peace for her.

Her talent in cultivation is actually quite good. In just about a dozen of years she already reached Foundation Establishment stage. This is also a rare achievement in cultivation field. However, who did she offend when she was young? Otherwise, she won't be treated like this! This doesn't make sense! A five-year-old child, so small how could she offend anybody? Who would care about a little kid?

As Yue Qianchou was in doubt, Fu Rong had already begun the clean up the room. She pushed her bed to the side and took out some wooden planks and wooden blocks from the pile of sundries, she built a bed out of it on the other empty side.

After setting and cleaning up the new lousy bed, she pulled the bedding from the old bed to draw a line between the two beds, the meaning was to split for the man and woman area. Finally, Fu Rong embarrassedly told him to put up with her here.

This kind of hospitality? Looking at her expression, this kind of bed seemed already good for her, Yue Qianchou was really doubting whether she had seen the living place of the other disciples. However, she was really confident about her appearance. She was aware that she was in a room with another man but she didn't fear that the man would indecently assault her.

That night, Yue Qianchou didn't make any animal move, he didn't even have a shred of that idea. He asked Fu Rong many questions in a roundabout way, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the Mulberry Garden and its people. The result was equal to not asking at all, Fu Rong knew almost nothing. Yue Qianchou decided to just fall asleep.

Before the dawn, the two people dragged their feet down the hill. Fortunately, there was a moonlight from the sky. Combined with their cultivation, their vision was better than ordinary people. Otherwise, it would be a dangerous thing to trek down the hill. Their goal was naturally the women's toilets.

Sure enough, Yue Qianchou rushed back to the hill while carrying his buckets of excrement, he poured down his harvest into his designated site and quickly trek down the hill again, he took about an hour running back and forth. After quite some time, the sky had brightened. In the end, he did a full four laps, it was a quite good result.

Yue Qianchou found that 'stealing' the dung from the women's toilets in the middle of the night was very exciting and gave a sense of accomplishment. He would never have thought to have this kind of day. If his subordinates of the past lives were to discover that their boss did this, how would they react?

The two people successfully completed their work with a good cooperation, the distance between them gradually narrowed.

In the next few days, Yue Qianchou was pleasantly surprised to find that Fu Rong seemed to have an extreme interest in spiritual plants apart from anything else, as long as it was about spiritual plants, she would answer any of Yue Qianchou's questions. She could even explain it clearly regarding any of the spiritual plants in the Immortal-Enchanting Island, be it the location and the various habits.

This ugly girl unexpectedly possessed this kind of knowledge, it was a good news, Yue Qianchou was very pleased.

During the last few days, Yue Qianchou saw several familiar spiritual plants in the Mulberry Garden. Those were the kind of spiritual plants needed for the Foundation Establishment pill according to the pill formula. His heart pounded uncontrollably. for quite some time.

A bold plan was formed in the heart, to find a way to collect the spiritual plants seeds needed and plant those inside the golden bead space, with the wonderful effect of the purple chaos, he believed it wouldn't be long before he could produce a large number of spiritual plants needed for the refinement of the Foundation Establishment pills. With abundant spiritual plants, he could practice alchemy by himself through trial and errors.

What made Yue Qianchou discouraged was, after carefully searched the whole Mulberry Garden for a few days, he could only find five kinds of the spiritual plants needed, missing the four others. The only other way was to wait for the Foundation Establishment pills distribution that would happen once every three years.

Who knew that after looking high and low till the iron shoes were worn out but still to no avail, he chanced upon it without ever looking. Yue Qianchou tried asking the ugly girl next to him and she actually knew where to find the other four spiritual plants in the Myriad Fragrant Garden. It was a good news, although he didn't even question how he could obtain it. In his consciousness, there was nothing he couldn't get as long as he wanted and knew where to get it.

Chapter 59 - Taking Care of Spiritual Plants (2)


"Screw off! You damned bitch, a broken face can only trembling and trembling before Father, ugly, you think you're helping me? Who cares even if you die!"

Yue Qianchou was furious, he kicked the bucket raised by Fu Rong and shouted again, "Screw off!"

The latter was frightened, she was trembling as she moved aside. The shabby clothes that wrapped the thin body was swaying, on her half disfigured face, tears started swirling in her eyes, but she didn't dare to utter any sound.

It was the first time in this world that Yue Qianchou felt so insulted. In addition that his temperament was ever changing, he was willing to be the bastard son and lower his head. However, once he got furious, let alone the poor looking Fu Rong of Foundation Establishment stage. The nascent soul stage Wu Baoru of the green light stage bitterly ate his scolding, Yan Shu with his core formation stage was also another example.

Looking at Fu Rong's face in front of him, the more Yue Qianchou saw it, the more hateful he became. He didn't care the difference of their cultivation nor how he wouldn't be able to win over Fu Rong. Instead, he went forward step by step, the malicious words spouted out, "Cry, cry, you only know how to cry! Don't you know what you look like? Dead Yin Yang face, ugly, the more you cry the uglier you are, go die already!"

The poor Fu Rong was forced to step back against the wall. She listened to his viciousness but it didn't make her cry. She resisted the crystal tears to drop from her eyes, it was a pitiful scene. If looked closely, although Fu Rong face was disfigured, her eyes were unusually bright and beautiful, the tears converged on her eyes reflected her tenderness and kindness.

He wondered whether she was really stupid, timid, or kind. With her cultivation, she would be able to easily kill Yue Qianchou as if cutting vegetables, however, she remained resigned.

In this way, an average looking man forced an ugly and weak woman on the corner of the wall. The two eyes faced each other, the combination of fury and pitifulness.

After a long time, Yue Qianchou's fury seemed to have gradually disappeared. Fu Rong loosened her fingers that pinched the corner of her clothes, she murmured, "I'll get to work, it is late, Elder Lan might get unhappy."

In fact, Fu Rong's voice was very nice, it fits together with her the thin, neat, and white teeth. The light words she said somewhat soothed the heated atmosphere.

Yue Qianchou was startled, his own voice was so loud before, wouldn't the old fogeys in the yard hear him? He was too impulsive.

Seeing he didn't speak, Fu Rong slowly moved out from the wall. The bucket that was kicked away by Yue Qianchou was carefully picked up, her eyes glanced at him from time to time, apparently still a bit afraid of him. Then she took a white pill from the clothing bag and threw it toward the side of the pit.

Throwing a medicinal pill into a shithole? Yue Qianchou seemed to have forgotten his previous antics, he was looking curiously.

As the pill sank, the excrement pit reacted, bubbles began to form and some tawny things floated on the surface of the pit. Yue Qianchou stared with dizziness, he had the urge to vomit. He couldn't move closer to the pit, he couldn't bear to move at all. Although he came from a remote village, it was a long time ago. Fu Rong on the other hand calmly stood on the side with a blank expression on her face.

Yue Qianchou breathed in with a strange feeling, the original deep stench was diminishing, to be replaced by a faint fragrance. It must be the effect of the pill, he wanted to see what was going on, but looking at a pile of excrement, he dismissed his idea.

Fu Rong folded her shabby sleeves, the two crystal white small arms reached out, she grabbed the long shovel and began to load a big amount of excrement into the two buckets. Yue Qianchou thought about how a waste it was, so good-looking hands to be used to do this kind of work. Fu Rong appearance was still calm and undisturbed.

After the two buckets were filled, Fu Rong inserted the pole between the two buckets. The slender body gently bent down, the hard pole fell on the thin shoulders, slightly struggling, the two buckets of excrement were picked up by the weak-looking woman. Before leaving, the solitary eyes glanced at Yue Qianchou, she said in a comforting way, "Please don't be angry, you can rest here, I can do it by myself."

That look...

In a flash, Yue Qianchou felt something was broken inside his chest.

"Is it a broken heart? No, but I feel so distressed. Why? What caused my distress? I'm not familiar with her." Asked Yue Qianchou in his heart.

Fu Rong's emaciated figure leaned forward while bearing her burden. With her cultivation, that kind of burden should be a piece of cake, but he always felt the incoordination seeing that skinny figure and two big buckets. Are the buckets too big? Is Fu Rong's body too thin?

Without knowing at it, Yue Qianchou's heart felt it was pierced, watching that unsteady figure bearing the burden.

"Wait!" Shouted Yue Qianchou, he hurriedly ran after her.

When she heard the shout, Fu Rong turned around and stared at Yue Qianchou. She was scared and stepped back. The tawny liquid in the bucket swayed and splashed on the ground, some fell on Fu Rong's worn-out clothes.

"Give it to me." Yue Qianchou reached out his hand with an expressionless face.

"No need," Refused Fu Rong as her slender body kept carrying the burden.

"Give it to me!" Shouted Yue Qianchou as he reached out again.

"It's dirty," Murmured Fu Rong.

"You are not afraid of getting dirty, how can I, give it to me."

"I... I'm used to it, I'm not afraid of getting dirty."

Yue Qianchou's heart was in an anxiety, he slowly asked, "Did you forget Elder Lan's words? Do you think Elder Lan will let me slide? Do you want me to be punished?"

Speaking of Elder Lan, Fu Rong's expression turned frightened and she didn't know what to do. Yue Qianchou didn't hesitate to reach out and forcefully took the burden off her shoulder, he turned and smiled, "Teach me how to do it and lead the way while I follow you." Finished saying, he put the burden on his shoulders.

Fu Rong nodded as she took a flustered step ahead. Yue Qianchou was disgusted and wanted to vomit, he carefully balanced the swinging of the two buckets.

The two people returned to the courtyard and Fu Rong led him to the garden where spiritual plants were cultivated. She gave the instructions on how to apply the fertilizer to the spiritual plants. Fu Rong originally wanted to do it by herself, but she was rejected by Yue Qianchou. She just needed to point it to him and he would do everything.

Yue Qianchou cooperated with Fu Rong with an unexpected gentleness. Fu Rong pointed to him where he should do it. The other beauties who were taking care of the spiritual plants in the garden all looked surprised. The ugly Fu Rong actually found a man to dirty his hands for her.

There were many spiritual plants to fertilize, and the excrement pit outside the fence was simply not enough. Fu Rong led him down the hill to find a place where the Myriad Fragrant Garden female disciples lived. There was a place resembling public toilets. There were many pits, the excretion ability of the female compatriots was not weak!

Yue Qianchou nearly fainted. He never thought that he would come to the ladies' toilets one day to pick up the women's excrement for fertilizer. Even more ridiculous was that there were many higher rank Martial Aunts queued. Am I going to pick up all these excrements? Even Martial Aunts are queuing to pick up excrement? He could only heave a sigh. Myriad Fragrant Garden's spiritual plants' area was big and the fertilizer was short in supply!

SCW Chapter 58 - Taking Care of Spiritual Plants (1)


Hearing the old woman's question. Elder Lan was pouting in dejection as if a little girl, she muttered, "Fei Denan sent someone here, he said it's to help you taking care the spiritual plants. What a nonsense."

Elder Lan's words proved that the old woman in front of him was none other than Aunt Pocky Jiu. However, seeing the change of the beautiful and dignified woman, Yue Qianchou's body shivered. He knew that the elders of Immortal-Enchanting Island should be at least two hundred years old, now the woman with more than two hundred years age was acting like a little girl, it made him giddy. He hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salutation, "Yue Qianchou greets Venerated Aunt Jiu."

"Yue Qianchou?" Aunt Pocky Jiu seemed to have heard his name and asked, "Are you Yue Qianchou who used to be a loose cultivator and recently joined our Immortal-Enchanting Island?"

"It is this disciple."

"I heard that Guan Weiwu took you as his direct disciple, how did Fei Denan send you here? Aren't you at Qi Condensation level ten? Strange, I can't sense your cultivation."

Elder Lan shouted, "It must be because of the matter of command token. That elder who is in charge of our Myriad Fragrant Garden is so narrow-minded. His position is used to solve such a personal grudge. Aunt Jiu, please don't take a blind eye to this matter."

Yue Qianchou heard the conversation, his eyes widened. I'm afraid I will get send back to Alchemy Pavilion, that will be bad! If I knew this, I wouldn't be so harsh on Yan Shu, impulsivity is really the devil ah!

"Is it?" Aunt Pocky Jiu said with a skeptical smile. "Fei Denan is your husband, I don't want to take part in your affair." She turned her head then prudently said, "But now the leading elder of Myriad Fragrant Garden is him. The words of Fei Denan is the law. I also have to obey the rules and can't break it. Lan Yatou, do it in accordance with Fei Denan's words and bring him away."

After listening to the conclusion, Yue Qianchou's pounding heart gradually calmed down.

"Yes." Elder Lan reluctantly agreed. Although, there was another person who was more aggrieved behind her. When Yue Qianchou walked out of the courtyard, he vaguely heard Yan Zixia addressing someone as Ancestor Grandmother. Is it for Aunt Pocky Jiu?

Elder Lan instantly turned into a beautiful and dignified woman again. She handed Yue Qianchou to a female disciple name Fu Rong. After giving a few words, she left.

Yue Qianchou was depressed! For the first time in his life, he was passed to many different people as if a good being delivered.

Depressed ah depressed, but this sister Fu Rong is really awkward, a thin and fragile looking body. No idea what happened to her face, half of her face is covered in a scar, but if seen the other half face from the side, she resembles Yang Guixi or Zhao Feiyan, a charm of her own type, a thin beautiful woman! But if seen from the front, she will frighten anyone.

The clothes wore on her body seemed to be weary compared to other disciples. There were some patches on her weak shoulders, a small clothing bag was slanting on her body.

Eh, how strange! This Fu Rong unexpectedly moved her gaze just from me staring, she seems very timid. Coming into this cultivation world, it's the first time I see someone is actually afraid of me.

Yue Qianchou woken up from his daze, in his mind thought that this half-faced girl was either someone with low self-esteem or pretended to be a pig to eat tigers.

Yue Qianchou saluted, "This one is Yue Qianchou, A Qi Condensation level ten disciple greets Senior Sister."

"Ah!" The half-faced Fu Rong was flustered and hurriedly replied, "Fu Rong, late-stage Foundation Establishment, greeting Mr. Yue."

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator actually calling me Mr.? Yue Qianchou gawked, he returned the courtesy and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. It's actually Martial Aunt."

Fu Rong was feeling uneasy being called that, she said, "Elder Lan had told me, I will show you how to take care the spiritual plants in the Mulberry Garden, come with me!" Finished saying, she turned away in panic.

"This back view... It's a pity with that face!" Yue Qianchou shook his head regretfully.

Outside a small shed where the tools were stored. Two buckets, a pole, and a long shovel.

Those were the three tools that Fu Rong

Yue Qianchou stared at Fu Rong who was standing on the side like she had made a mistake. He looked suspiciously at these three tools. He was familiar with these three tools and was familiar with the combination. However, he couldn't remember where he had seen it long ago.

"Martial Aunt Fu Rong, are these for me? What are these for?" Asked Yue Qianchou with a frown.

"Taking care of spiritual plants..." Fu Rong's voice was so low almost unnoticeable.

"Oh!" Said Yue Qianchou, he smiled embarrassedly, "Hehe... Martial Aunt, I just got here, this... Hey Hey! I really don't know how to take care the spiritual plants with these things. Martial Aunt, please don't hesitate to enlighten me."

"That... Then you come with me." Murmured Fu Rong, she reached out to grab the three tools for taking care the spiritual plants. Yue Qianchou quickly stopped her and said, "Let me, let me. Martial Aunt shouldn't overwork herself."

He was now sure of it, the disfigured thin Martial Aunt was really timid and shy, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to flatter her. The three tools were successfully snatched by him. The two buckets were connected to each side of the pole, then he lifted the pole and put it on his back shoulders along with the long shovel. Yue Qianchou said with a smile, "Martial Aunt, please..."

Fu Rong nodded shyly. The two little hands grabbed the corner of her clothing, she snagged around and led Yue Qianchou outward the courtyard. After passing the tall wall, she made a stop.

There was a small ditch under the wall which was connected to a small pit in front of it. The yellowish-brown liquid in the pit emitted an unpleasant door. On the surface, there were many floating objects that he was very familiar with..... Feces!

To put it bluntly, the pit in front of the two people was an excrement pit.

Yue Qianchou stared blankly in front of the excrement pit as if struck by lightning, his eyes opened wide. It didn't need to be explained, nothing needed to get explained, his mind immediately understood it. He had lived in a rural area during his past life. Although it wasn't clear, the previous life of uncle farmers appeared in his mind, the scene was that they were applying fertilizer to the crops.

Taking care of spiritual plants? Applying fertilizer to spiritual plants? Am I going to personally apply this thing to fertilize the spiritual plants? Do spiritual plants even absorb this thing?

Fei Denan abused his position to retaliate against personal grudge! Yue Qianchou's complexion turned white, it then turned red,  then turned green, then black, he had a tendency to run away. No wonder the three tools were so familiar, it was for this...

Fu Rong on the side was feeling frightened, she took a few steps back.

Yue Qianchou's voice from his choking throat was heard in loud, "Shit! Taking care of spiritual plants my ass! Fei Denan, you bastard son! Asking Father to pick up dung!" He threw the tools on his shoulder on the ground.

Looking at the red-eyed and heavily panting Yue Qianchou, Fu Rong's hands tightly squeezed her hem. Her fingers turned pale, the eyes were suffused with tears, her low voice could be heard with a sob, "Mr. Yue, you don't have to get angry. This work, I will do it, you don't need to do anything. I will not tell Elder Lan. You... You can rest on the side..." The two feet carefully stepped forward, the figure slowly squatted, and the pale little hands picked up the tools lying on the ground.

Chapter 57 - The Mulberry Garden


Along the way, Yue Qianchou's heart was still muttering with a bit nervousness. What kind of work will I get to grow the spiritual plants? And who is Aunt Pocky Jiu? Elder Fei who is in charge of the Myriad Fragrant Garden shouldn't be a nonsense person.

The female disciple who led the way was staring at Yue Qianchou from time to time. She naturally didn't take fancy on him. With the below average appearance of the other party, maybe only a few people would catch him in the eye. She thought in her heart. Who is this person? Elder Fei personally borrowed him from the Alchemy Pavilion. How will he be assigned to take care the spiritual plants?

The female disciple suddenly remembered the rumor from a group of disciples a few days ago. There was a new disciple who joined the Immortal-Enchanting Island using the command token and got accepted as the direct disciple of Elder Guan of the Alchemy Pavilion. She heard that there were dozens of elders were fighting over him to get the command token, and finally, Elder Guan got that command token. The name of that disciple seemed to be Yue Qianchou, is this the person?

When she thought of that, the doubts in her mind was solved. She stared at Yue Qianchou again, there was a bit of compassion showed in her eyes.

The scenery of the Myriad Fragrant Garden gradually eased Yue Qianchou's depressed heart.

Surrounded by a variety of spiritual plants, a vast field, a flowery fragrance drifting slowly, during which a lot of beautiful women working attentively. Myriad Fragrant Garden had a variety of topography, ranging from high hills, flat grounds, and low terrains. It was filled with various spiritual plants, many of them were flowering or fruiting. The colorful spiritual plants were swaying in the breeze. Occasionally when the wind was strong, there would be skirts blowing up, the delicate hands would quickly press down, let the people imagine.

What a great place! A vast of colorful spiritual plants accompanied by beautiful young women, a wonderful scenery. Although this place gave Yue Qianchou's heart some troubles, at the same time he had to admire the major faction of cultivation worlds on picking the disciples, the female disciples who got accepted were all top class beauties, but that because all of them have cultivated their flesh and bones, they naturally possessed better appearance than mortals. Of course, not all talented people possessed a good appearance, there were also ugly but talented people, but this case was a minority.

Looking around, the working chicks seemed to be full of innocent girls. Oh! There were few who exuded a charm of maturity! Yue Qianchou was in a trance, he felt as if he was in a women only's country.

The two arrived at the foot of the hill, the height was not that high, but it covered a vast area. There were some unusual trees surrounding the hill, and most of the area was covered by various spiritual plants. The entire summit was occupied by a courtyard, it looked very ancient. Although Yue Qianchou's cultivation was not high, he had found out that this hill possessed the most abundant spiritual Qi, it was so thick that it produced a faint mist.

The female disciple reminded him, "Yue Qianchou, on top of the hill is the residence of Venerated Aunt Jiu. Venerated Aunt Jiu doesn't like loud noises, you must refrain from being loud there."

Yue Qianchou thought that she gave a sincere reminder and saw the faint fear on her expression. Obviously, she was afraid that he would burden her later on. The two were not familiar with each other. Beside being a woman, he didn't care much about her. As Yue Qianchou gazed at the top hill, he asked, "Is Venerated Aunt Jiu the same person as Aunt Pocky Jiu mentioned by Elder Fei before?"

"Keep it down!" The female disciple was shocked by his words and said in a low voice, "We are not to call her Aunt Pocky Jiu. Elder Fei also called her that only in the back, he doesn't dare to do it in front of Venerated Aunt Jiu. Venerated Aunt Jiu is the biological aunt of the former Sect Leader and she is in charge to manage the elders in the Myriad Fragrant Garden. She has reached the late-stage of Tribulation Crossing. Even the current Sect Leader has to salute before her."

"Oh," Said Yue Qianchou. In the heart thought about the face of Fei Denan, Why did you throw father into this kind of old monster? Is it because you want to use the hand of this old monster to kill Father? I don't know who is more powerful if this old monster were to fight with Big Sister, both are late-stage Tribulation Crossing.

"Let's go!" Said the female disciple. Yue Qianchou nodded, he originally wanted to get closer to her, starting by asking her name. However, he sensed that she was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, she also barely considered as a beauty, the thoughts were extinguished.

Walking along the bluestone steps toward the top of the hill, he arrived outside the wall. Yue Qianchou discovered that the yard was really big and the fences were really high. The tall courtyard gates were wide open and there was no guard at the entrance. Looking up, the words 'Mulberry Garden' was engraved above the gates. He walked quietly following the female disciple.

Once inside, for some unknown reason, Yue Qianchou suddenly felt that the temperature in the surrounding area had dropped a lot. The inside and outside of the wall seemed to be two different worlds. Walking through the shade of trees and vines from the entrance to the courtyard, the two eyes widened, all kinds of exotic and colorful flowers, there were actually many kinds of gardens with each different spiritual plants on it, there were also one or two female disciples working on each garden.

Fortunately, the women's appearance here seemed to be on a higher level than the ones he had seen outside

A beautiful and dignified woman greeted the two people with a smile. The female disciple hurriedly said, "Elder Lan." After giving a salute, Yue Qianchou also followed.

Elder Lan smiled and said, "Do you have something for coming here?" The female student pointed toward Yue Qianchou. "This is the disciple that Elder Fei borrowed from the Alchemy Pavilion, his name is Yue Qianchou. Elder Fei had ordered me to send him to Venerated Aunt Jiu to be assigned to his work to take care spiritual plants."

"Yue Qianchou? Taking care spiritual plants?" Elder Lan squinted her eyes toward Yue Qianchou and frowned, "What is that Fei Denan up to? Well, hand this matter to me, you can go back."

"Yes." The female disciple gave her salute and returned. After listening to their conversation. Yue Qianchou felt uncomfortable, he cursed in his heart, "Shit! When did Father start becoming a sundry good, being sent from one person to another!"

"You come with me," Said Elder Lan with a smile.

"Yes." Yue Qianchou followed her from behind.

Passing through several spiritual plants gardens, he estimated that the spiritual plants planted here were definitely more precious than the outside, he couldn't help but look around. It turned out that he had seen many depictions of the spiritual plants here from the pills' formula.

Following the woman to a courtyard, he suddenly felt the temperature dropped a lot. He saw a well not far from him and felt an extreme cold when he bypassed the well. Yue Qianchou shivered coldly. Although his cultivation was not high, it was not a problem to withstand a normal cold temperature. This small well surprisingly emitted a powerful coldness, the low temperature of the entire hill seemed to come from this well. Unexpectedly, even with such low temperatures, the well water wasn't even frozen, it added the mysteriousness of this courtyard.

In the courtyard, a white-haired old woman was holding a young and beautiful woman's hand as she spoke. Yue Qianchou noticed the young woman, it was Yan Zixia who he recently separated from. How could she be here? He had a strange feeling in his heart.

When the two approached, Yue Qianchou noticed that the old woman's face was full of pockmarks. He couldn't help but think of the name Aunt Pocky Jiu from Elder Fei's mouth. This should be the old woman.

The old woman turned and looked at Yue Qianchou. The bland eyes actually gave a frightening feeling to the latter. From the mouth could be heard a weary voice, "Lan Yatou, who is it that you bring here?"

Yan Zixia was also wondering why Yue Qianchou came here. The two people noticed each other's gaze and nodded slightly.

Chapter 56 - Is This the Myriad Fragrant Garden?


The words were too fierce and the voice was deafening. The entire people outside the hall heard it and the atmosphere immediately turned silent and tense. Every eye turned to look and everyone was dumbfounded. Lin Feng, who mocked Yue Qianchou's flattery not long ago had a gaping mouth. Elder Guan and Elder Fei felt a bit awkward. On the contrary, the young woman couldn't figure out what had happened.

Yan Shu's complexion turned green and red. The two eyeballs protruded almost escaping, the trembling arm pointed toward Yue Qianchou, he seemed furious.

On the other side, Guan Weiwu shouted, "Enough!"

Looking at Yue Qianchou again, he refused by saying, "This matter has been decided, you will go to the Myriad Fragrant Garden with Elder Fei."

Seeing the outcome had been set and couldn't be changed, Yue Qianchou silently nodded.

"Let's go!" Said Elder Fei with a smile, he went down the mountain followed by the young woman, Yue Qianchou handed the jade token to Ling Feng and saluted toward Guan Weiwu, he said, "Master, please take care..." He then followed suit.

The crowd watched as they went down the mountain, but the resentment in Yan Shu's eyes was hard to hide. There were some people who stared at Yan Shu with schadenfreude, his reputation seemed really bad.

Elder Fei walked down the mountain leisurely. The young and beautiful woman followed while Yue Qianchou fell ten meters away behind the two. If he had been in the past, he would probably follow right behind the young woman, not mentioning to enjoy her fragrance, but looking at the perky butts was also a pleasant thing. Of course, the premise was that Qu Ping'er and the White Fox didn't know about the situation and the mood wasn't bad.

Yue Qianchou's current mood was awful. Just as he was about to plan about using the pill formula, he was actually fated to meet with Elder Fei, the latter casually dragged him to Myriad Fragrant Garden. It certainly disturbed his mind, in his cognition, most cultivators weren't much different from wild animals. In particular, the old fogies who have lived for hundreds of years. The human nature had probably been eaten by dogs, he worried it would only bring him the danger.

Elder Fei Denan stopped and turned to look at the dejected Yue Qianchou. He smiled and said, "Yue Qianchou, come here." He continued to walk down the mountain.

Yue Qianchou was startled, beggars can't be choosers! now, he could only be obedient. Without wasting time, he ran toward Elder Fei. Putting a flattering smile he said, "Elder Fei, do you have anything to ask me?  If there is something, please just command me. I, Yue Qianchou, will even go through the mountain of sword and the sea of fire without any complaint."

"Uh..." Fei Denan stared at Yue Qianchou that was exuding a villainous countenance, the words he wanted to say unable to come out.

Honestly speaking, after seeing Yue Qianchou, Fei Denan felt a bit unhappy, but it didn't really disturb his heart. However, he hit an idea to make use of the situation at that time and to take the guy with him. Afterwards, he saw Yue Qianchou's defying outburst of retaliate. Fei Denan had a fondness to Yue Qianchou for that, nowadays young people like that becoming less and less, the thoughts to trick him didn't prevail, to be replaced by a care.

However, this villainous countenance was a far cry from the might that didn't fear the difference between heaven and earth just a moment ago. It made Fei Denan lost his fondness, he gave a cold hum and immediately said, "Nothing, just keep up with your speed." The tone was not kind, Yue Qianchou only repeatedly nodded and answered with a "Yes".

Yue Qianchou didn't feel like to walk side by side with Fei Denan, he found a reason to fall a few steps, pretending to talk with the beauty on the side, with a smile he asked, " This one is Yue Qianchou, a Qi Condensation level ten. May I know how to address you?"

The young woman also smiled at him and replied, "Yan Zixia early-stage of Foundation Establishment, I just entered the Immortal-Enchanting Island today, thanks to Elder Fei of the Myriad Fragrant Garden."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Martial Aunt Yan," Said Yue Qianchou as he saluted.

The young woman nodded and stared at Yue Qianchou up and down. She secretly thought in her heart, "This person acted quite differently from a moment ago."

Myriad Fragrant Garden possessed the largest land of all the Immortal-Enchanting Island, it was the place with the most abundant spiritual Qi across the island. This was for an obvious reason, spiritual Qi was required for planting the spiritual plants. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to supply the demand from the sect.

At the same time, Myriad Fragrant Garden was also the place where most female disciples of Immortal-Enchanting Island stayed. Almost 99% of the Immortal-Enchanting Island female disciples were in Myriad Fragrant Garden, the number was nearly a thousand. There was certainly a reason for this. Spiritual plants were not just ordinary herbs and needed exquisite care. Women were naturally more attentive than men, they were the best figures to tend these spiritual plants. It was not a very laborious activity in general, while the laborious works were handled by the few male disciples.

Yue Qianchou just joined not long ago, he naturally possessed a little knowledge about the Myriad Fragrant Garden and had no time to gain information from other people.

When Yue Qianchou stepped into Myriad Fragrant Garden, he felt the boundless spiritual Qi, the fresh air, and the fragrance of the spiritual plants inhaled into his nasal. The two eyes widened, he saw many beautiful and graceful women everywhere. Yue Qianchou spied his eyes and thought that it was an illusion of array formation. He immediately followed right behind Fei Denan, fearing that he would be trapped in the wrong place by the formation.

He didn't expect himself to be trapped, Elder Fei would surely rescue him.

When he noticed a group of perky women gave a respectful salute and greeted Elder Fei, Fei Denan nodded his head back. Yue Qianchou was startled, this was not an illusion.

Myriad Fragrant Garden actually has so many female disciples? And everyone is not bad, shit! Is this Myriad Fragrant Garden or Myriad Flowers House?

Yue Qianchou was surprised. If it wasn't for this extraordinary environment, he would suspect it as a brothel. The two eyes blankly gazed at the surrounding scenery.

Fei Denan led the two toward the main hall of the Myriad Fragrant Garden. He exchanged a few words with Yan Zixia.

Yue Qianchou still hadn't recovered from his daze.

Fei Denan was stroking his beard, stopping before the main hall, he smiled at the dazing guy and gave a light snort, "Come on!" The guy finally awakened.

A female disciple outside the door came toward to salute, "Elder Fei."

Elder Fei pointed to Yue Qianchou and said, "This is a disciple that I borrowed from the Alchemy Pavilion named Yue Qianchou. Take him to Aunt Pocky Jiu and told her that Yue Qianchou will be assigned to help taking care of the spiritual plants."

The female disciple's face flashed a surprise, she immediately saluted and said, "This disciple understands."

What should I do to take care the spiritual plants? Muttered Yue Qianchou in his heart, he then heard Fei Denan asked him, "Yue Qianchou, this is Elder's arrangement for you here, do you have any dissatisfaction?"

"No, no. This disciple resolutely obeys Elder Fei's arrangement." Yue Qianchou smiled and saluted respectfully.

"That's good." Fei Denan waved his hand and said, "Bring him away!"

"Yes." The female disciple retreated. Yue Qianchou vaguely felt something was wrong but he couldn't figure it out. He had no choice but to keep up with the female disciple.

Chapter 55 - How Bold!


Yue Qianchou read attentively about the formula for the refinement of the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was stated that he would need nine kinds of spiritual plants. Yue Qianchou quickly wrote down the names of the spiritual plants and the refining process. It was what he needed the most.

The fourth layer contained the pills formulas for Core Formation cultivators. Yue Qianchou only casually checked it, his mind was occupied by the Foundation Establishment pill and had no interest to look at it again. The sound of a group of people came from the outside, he carefully put his jade slip back.

"Why don't I see Yue Qianchou?" The voice of Yan Shu was heard from the outside.

Yue Qianchou opened the door and shouted. "Here, here, Martial Ancestor Yan is well." He hurriedly ran toward Yan Shu with a smile then saluted. He also smiled and greeted the other three.

"Humph!" Yan Shu coldly stared at him and said, "From today onwards, you will work with these three people. If you dare to be lazy, you will be punished. Do you all understand?" The last sentence was directed to the four people together.

Only Yue Qianchou smiled charmingly and said, "Yes, I understand." The other three people were expressionless, Yan Shu's face sank, he heaved a cold hum and walked away.

"Martial Ancestor Yan, please take care!" Yue Qianchou smiled as he watched Yan Shu going away, the slightly bowed waist was straightened up. He suddenly found that all the three people were staring at him with contemptuous eyes, obviously not approving of his flattery.

Yue Qianchou turned to the three people and said with a smile, "I will join the three brothers starting from today, please take care of me."

"Humph!" Bei Zi stared at him with squinting eyes and said, "You are Elder Guan's disciple yet also asking us to take care of you, if you want just seek your Martial Ancestor Yan."

Ling Feng said without even looking at him, "Let's go! We shouldn't make any excuses to the surnamed Yan."

The awfully quiet Xuan Ping was even more obtrusive. Only heard him shouted, "Slow!" The guy ran into his room and brought out the wine jar he had drunk yesterday. He passed it to Yue Qianchou and said, "Yesterday was just a dog's drink, it's a shame." The wine jar was directly thrown toward the cliff outside the courtyard.

The three men walked toward the courtyard.

Yue Qianchou was momentarily surprised, then immediately understood. The first time hearing Xuan Ping said so many words, unexpectedly to scold himself. Looking at the distant figures, he shook his head with a wry smile, yesterday he was drinking together like a brother, but today he was like an enemy.

Yue Qianchou had no choice but to follow suit, he thought in his heart, "The three guys really have a good personality, but also fucking hateful! I don't know if they have a good integrity or they are just pedantic. I was going to make some friends, now it seems won't happen. Forget it, there's another time."

Following the three people coming to the Alchemy Pavilion Hall, many disciples were seen coming in and out. Yan Shu was standing outside the hall waiting for the people. Seeing the four people came, he handed four pieces of a jade token to them. The man coldly said, "This is your task today. If it is not completed, there will be severe punishment."

Seeing Ling Feng and his group injected Divine Sense into the jade token, Yue Qianchou did the same. Meanwhile, three people were coming out from the main hall, Yue Qianchou recognized these people.

In front of him were Elder Guan and Elder Fei of the Myriad Fragrant Garden, they walked while talking together. Behind them was a beautiful young woman. Yue Qianchou had seen her before, it was during his visit to Immortal-Enchanting Island shop in the Hundred Flowers Valley. He remembered that there was a man along with this woman. The two were quite similar, he estimated that the two were either brother and sister or at least relative. The two people seemed to call Elder Qin as Martial Uncle, obviously not as in a jumbled manner as Immortal-Enchanting Island rules. The shopkeeper seemed to call the two as Young Palace Lord and Young Lady. This chick should be a big figure!

When the people arrived outside the hall, the always domineering Elder Guan actually politely said to Elder Fei, "Please..."

Elder Fei smiled and said, "Don't force me to be too tight on my Myriad Fragrant Garden."

The arrival of the two men alerted the surrounding people, they saluted toward them, "Elder Guan, Elder Fei."

Only Yue Qianchou shouted, "Hello Master!" It sounded unusually harsh and caught everyone's attention. Guan Weiwu noticed Yue Qianchou and nodded happily at him. Obviously, it wasn't as Ling Feng had said that this muddle-headed Master would forget who his disciple was.

Elder Fei gazed at Yue Qianchou. At first, his facial expression twitched slightly, he remembered the unpleasant memory. Then he turned his face and said to him, "Oh, Isn't it Yue Qianchou!"

This old fogy seems a bit strange, does he take the matter of the command token to heart?

Yue Qianchou felt a bit uncomfortable. Thinking that he was at the Alchemy Pavilion, he didn't think too much of it and immediately saluted, "Hello Elder Fei."

The young woman behind the two elders suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Your name is Yue Qianchou?"

Yue Qianchou was startled, in the heart wondering how she knew him, he wasn't exceptionally famous in the Immortal-Enchanting Island. Elder Guan stared strangely at the young woman and asked, "Did you know him?" The young woman shook her head and seemed to wonder.

Elder Fei smiled and said, "Elder Guan, I really need your help!" When he was speaking, he stared at Yue Qianchou with an unpleasant gaze. It made the latter's heart beating faster.

Elder Guan also stared at Yue Qianchou and frowned, "What is it?"

"Elder Guan, you know that during this time, my Myriad Fragrant Garden's manpower was tight and the Sect Leader had said that he would hand over the man to me. I think your disciple is clever, it will be better if I can borrow him for some time." Said Elder Fei indifferently.

"Ah!" Exclaimed Yue Qianchou. The old fogy made it clear that he wanted to use his position to pay back his personal grudge. Yue Qianchou immediately stared at Guan Weiwu with a pitiful expression on his face.

"This..." Said Elder Guan. Although he was the 'Mad Pill', he wasn't ignorant. He naturally saw that Elder Fei wanted his disciple for something else.

Yan Shu who was on the sideline seemed to have sensed that something was amiss. He stared at the pitiful Yue Qianchou then turned to Elder Fei with a smirk plastered on his face.

"What's the matter? Is Elder Guan unwilling to help?" Asked Elder Fei, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the young woman behind him.

Elder Guan also glanced toward the young woman, with a sigh, he apologetically said to Yue Qianchou, "Yue Qianchou, you will go to Myriad Fragrant Garden to help for a while. When you come back, Master will personally teach you alchemy."

"Master, please don't agree." Pleaded Yue Qianchou.

"How bold!" Yan Shu shouted, "A disciple of Qi Condensation stage dares to negotiate with the pavilion elders. The eyes can't see the Immortal-Enchanting Island rules!"

Yue Qianchou was taken aback for a moment. Mother! Do you want to trick Father to provoke you? My life is already pitiful. First time coming here yet I have to deal with you. Do you want Father to lick your face and keep flattering you instead? Now Father really doesn't know how to handle you.

His expression suddenly turned fierce, from the mouth came a voice louder than Yan Shu's previous shout, "Yan Shu! Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are? My Master and I aren't speaking about your fart. You're the one who interrupted Elder's conversation. Your eyes the one that can't see the Immortal-Enchanting Island rules! Is it because your father is also an elder? Do you think there are no other elders in your eyes? Do you really think Immortal-Enchanting Island is revolving around your life? My master and Elder Fei are more prestigious than you! Screw off!"

Chapter 54 - Checking the Jade Slip 


After listening to him, the facial expressions of the three people were very complex. They didn't expect Yue Qianchou to be so knowledgeable. The kind of zoology, botany, natural science, and entomology were unheard of and became an eye-opener today.

The young Chen Feng was full of admiration, while Guan Yu was slightly embarrassed. Yue Qianchou seemed to notice the strange gaze from the White Fox and he decided to make his move.

Yue Qianchou remembered what he wanted to say. He said a bit embarrassedly, "Big Sister, there is something I need your help with."

The White Fox's bright eyes glanced at him as she heaved a gentle "Hmm."

Seeing that his big sister agreed, Yue Qianchou was overjoyed. He quickly pulled out the jade slip containing the pills' formulas and gave it to her, he said, "I know that Big Sister has many extraordinary techniques. There is something inside this jade slip that I want to see, unfortunately, it is under a lot of restrictions. Big Sister, help me open it please..."

Guan Yu and Chen Feng didn't bother with their conversation. The two went to the open space on the side and examined the botany that Yue Qianchou said.

The White Fox took over to jade slip to probe it. The eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Yue Qianchou asked a bit nervously, "Big Sister, can you get rid of it?"

The White Fox shook her head, the lips slightly said, "The one who set these restrictions possessed a high level of attainment in this. There are a total of seven restrictions that have been set. The first restriction had been unlocked. I can try to unlock the few former restrictions, but I have never seen the kind of restrictions for the few last in it, I will need to spend some time to unlock it. Otherwise, forcing to break it open will damage the content inside."

Finished saying, the delicate fingers made a seal toward the jade slip. Yue Qianchou knew she was unlocking the restrictions, be he couldn't understand it and felt it was very mysterious.

After three flashes of white light toward the jade slip, the fingers movement stopped. It only took a few breaths of time, then she returned the jade slip and said, "Of the remaining six restrictions, I have unlocked the first three restrictions. For the last three restrictions, I can't get rid of it for the time being. However, I have memorized it, it will take some time for me to decipher it."

Yue Qianchou took over the jade slip with a grin, "It's enough to unlock the three restrictions, the others are not urgent. Big Sister, please just think about it slowly."

The White Fox nodded and stared at him without saying anything, she turned to walk toward the bamboo house outside the garden.

At the other end, the sighs of surprise from Guan Yu and Chen Feng were apparent after the result of their experiment. Yue Qianchou was still smiling vividly over his jade slip. he walked past and saw Chen Feng, he suddenly remembered a person. Beside Chen Feng in Hundred Flowers Valley that day, he had also abducted a person who made and sold him the 'Immortal Divine Collapsing'.  Yue Qianchou had visited his space several times but didn't see the guy at all, that was the talented person who he personally selected!

"Yunchang, I have something to ask you."

Guan Yu tidied the soil with his hands, with a smile he stood up and asked, "What is it?"

Yue Qianchou asked, "In addition to Chen Feng, I have brought another person in. How did I have never seen him at all? Where did he go?"

Guan Yu was taken aback, he then laughed, "You're asking about that guy ah?" He brought his mouth closer to Yue Qianchou and whispered a few words. Yue Qianchou's expression greatly changed as he was listening, he casually said, "He deserved it!"

Originally, the guy who sold him the smoker was taken in and his life essence was forcibly extracted the same way as Chen Feng. However, he was entranced by the White Fox's appearance and actually tried to conquer her with his 'Immortal Divine Collapsing'. Not knowing the heights of the heavens, he probably wasn't even aware of the consequence having his life essence stolen, his every move wouldn't escape the other party's awareness. The result was that the White Fox destroyed his life essence, his remains were turned into ash and became the flowers' fertilizer.

"Ai! What a waste of a good talent... Forget it, he brought it upon himself. Well, you guys keep it with your plays, I'll be going first, see ya!" Said Yue Qianchou somewhat regretted.

"Wait!" Guan Yu pulled him and said, "Remember to bring in a nest of bees when you come back. I want to understand the relationship between botany and zoology."

"Alright, I remember."

Having returned to his own room in the Immortal-Enchanting Island, Yue Qianchou carefully listened the outside and concluded that there was no movement. He proceeded to take out the jade slip containing the pills' formulas to take a look. The divine sense was injected into the first layer.

In fact, the first layer didn't contain any pill formula, it explained the alchemy's general idea and what to do. For example, what type of fire was best for alchemy, what kind of pill furnace that could improve the success rate of the medicinal pills. There was a whole lot of instructions.

For Yue Qianchou who was completely new to alchemy, this general idea that could bring him a headache was what he needed to understand the most. He read it attentively word for word as he tried to memorize it.

The second layer was still not about pill formula. When Yue Qianchou's divine sense entered, he felt that he had entered the seas of various spiritual plants. Not only the names and efficacy of various spiritual plants were described in details, even the appearance from small to large were vividly displayed before him, the level of detail was exquisite. Even the growing habits of each plant and the approximate locations to find were listed.

Yue Qianchou was shocked, not just shocked in general, but totally flabbergasted. Although he didn't know anything about spiritual plants and alchemy, he was aware that he possessed a priceless treasure. He was glad that such a precious thing fell into his hands by making a move on Liu Zhengguang.

After recovering shock, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but think back to the Pill Sect. He estimated that nobody could rival the Pill Sect attainment in the alchemy. Only by checking the first two layers, it already consisted of a very detailed record of the innumerable spiritual plants. It should take a lot of time and many generations to collect such a record, these two layers were already sufficient to make the jade slip as a world treasure. He believed that anyone could rebuild the Pill Sect with this jade slip alone, there would be no much obstacles.

It was impossible to memorize such amount of record in a short period of time. He could only heave a sigh and decided to do it slowly. Yue Qianchou divine sense crossed and entered the third layer.

From the introduction words of this layer, the inside held the record of various pills' formulas for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The medicinal pills' efficacy was written beside the name of the pills and the ingredients needed were written below it. It included the instruction such as the order and timing of putting the herbs into the refining process and the year of the spiritual plants needed, all of them were written out in detail. The problems that could arise during refining the plants and how to deal with it had also been marked.

Tsk Tsk! What a good thing! Even a completely ignorant person might be able to produce medicinal pills by lavishly following these instructions. I didn't expect that the Foundation Establishment cultivators can use so many medicinal pills to assist with the cultivation. However, it's really strange. Since the Pill Sect possessed such an attainment in the alchemy, they shouldn't be weak, how could they get exterminated?

Yue Qianchou was still checking the content, his eyelids suddenly rose. The word 'Foundation Establishment Pill' appeared and immediately caught his attention.

Chapter 53 - The Talent of Being a Teacher 


Guan Yu saw his serious expression, he didn't ask anymore and immediately did what Yue Qianchou said.

A moment later, several flowers bloomed before the people.

Before the flowers progressed to wither, Yue Qianchou quickly plucked a flower of the previous plant and immediately brought it closer to the growing flower face to face. The flower's stamens came in close contact with the other's pistil, he did it again and again.

Guan Yu didn't understand what he was doing. Chen Feng stopped his work. Even the White Fox stared seriously at Yue Qianchou. The three people were curious as they gazed the plant in front of him.

Yue Qianchou suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it should be like this."

The three people saw an unexpected thing happened. The flower that had been dying unexpectedly didn't immediately wither. Instead, the central part began to grow and a fruit gradually formed, the petals on the side collapsed.

After being done by Yue Qianchou, the plant didn't wither, and the withering process turned into the bearing of fruit.

The three people on the side stared at Yue Qianchou with an unbelievable expression. Guan Yu exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

The problem that had been bothering him finally solved, Guan Yu was so excited he couldn't believe it, even the White Fox was unable to give him the answer, now his boss Yue had actually easily solved it.

The graceful figure of the White Fox flashed toward the plant that just bore fruit, the slender hand plucked the fruit and the nail pinched it, inside could be seen a few dark grains of seeds. She brought the fruit closer to her nose and sniffed it, a surprised expression appeared on the face.

Chen Feng's eyes that were originally full of resentment now stared at Yue Qianchou as if in admiration.

In fact, for Yue Qianchou, this was just a common sense problem in the past life. Because the flowers in this space never got pollinated by the insects and bees. These plants naturally could only bloom with pollinating and of course, they couldn't produce seeds without this process.

Placing it in the past life, this problem could even be solved by elementary school students. Now, it was a bit shocking to Yue Qianchou. Seeing that the three people stared at him with eyes vaguely showed some little stars of worship. Yue Qianchou was feeling proud and embarrassed, he grinned, "Don't admire Brother that much, Brother is just a wise man."

"Stop pretending! Say, what the hell is going on?" Said the White Fox, the fruit was still held in her palm.

Yue Qianchou smiled, he rubbed his nose and said, "Big Sister! This is a long story. It involves botany and biology. It is really a complicated knowledge, I'm afraid you won't understand it."

After speaking that, the thirsty look in the three people's eyes turned into confusion. Yue Qianchou said slowly, "It will be too complicated for you to understand it, I'll just explain a bit first. Heaven and Earth are divided into Yin and Yang, like there are the sun in the sky and the same moon. The light of time and the darkness of space. Everything on this earth is also divided into Yin and Yang, which is what we also call as male and female. Uh... I have made it as simple as I could, I don't know if it was too complicated, can you guys understand it?"

The three people nodded in unison and motioned him to continue.

"That's good, then I will continue to explain it, listen carefully." Yue Qianchou made a light cough with a fist in front of his mouth, then he continued, "Everything is born of Yin and Yang, you should easily understand whether it is people, pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, and other living things are divided into male and female. A man alone cannot bear a child, it's also the same for a woman, so there is a need of unification between a man and a woman, that is, the unification of Yin and Yang. The same is true for animals that walk on two feet or on four feet, I classify these living animals into zoology. zoology is a higher level of biology, biology refers to all living beings between heaven and earth, these living beings also contain plants, the so-called plants that I want to talk about are classified in botany. The amount of... I ask again, can you guys follow me?"

The three people nodded again. Although there was a little doubt in the minds of these people, the sophisticated words and the seriousness of Yue Qianchou eliminated that, the learning atmosphere was very strong.

Yue Qianchou was very satisfied with this situation. The fake role model said again, "What are plants? Flowers and trees that produce fruits and vegetables we usually eat belong to the category of plants, including the three of you now planting, they can naturally grow. Of course, this involves in a more advanced nature science, you won't understand it so I won't say. These plants are also living things, so they are classified in biology. Don't underestimate these plants, they are the same as animals in zoology. As I have mentioned earlier, there are also male and female and the need for unification. Guan Yu, you asked me why these plants didn't bear seeds, I will give you a detailed answer. Uh... I've gotten very thirsty, is there a water to drink here?"

"Yes!" Replied Chen Feng, then he grabbed a spoonful of water from the bucket.[1] He respectfully offered it to Yue Qianchou, although a bit of resentment could still be seen from him.

Yue Qianchou handed the spoon  back to him after drinking the water and said, "Thank You." He continued, "Why did your planted flowers didn't bear any seed? Look here..." Yue Qianchou pointed to a plant full of flowers, he said, "There are a lot of flowers on them. They all look the same. Yes, although they all look the same, actually, these flowers also have the distinction of Yin and Yang. If they want to produce seeds, they will be like people. It is also necessary to unify Yin and Yang. However, they can't unify in the same way as men and women. Therefore, it is necessary to use the help of external forces. As I have just done earlier, is one of the means to help them unify."

When he heard this, Guan Yu uttered his doubt, "Is it? The flowers and plants in the outside world don't have people to unify them. How could they still bear the seeds?" Chen Feng and the White Fox also looked at him doubtfully, apparently agreeing with Guan Yu.

"Your question is very good, it involves the entomology in zoology." Said Yue Qianchou praising him, he continued, "The flowers in the wilderness of course without the help of people for the unification, it is by other animals, they are insects. What are insects? You should all have seen insects such as butterflies and bees right? If you observe closely, you will find that insects such as bees are attracted to all kinds of blooming flowers, when they made a contact with a flower, they are contaminated with the pollen of its flower, and when the moved and made a contact with another flower, they have become the medium of the flowers' unification. So those plants in the wilderness could also bear fruit and reproduce. If you don't believe me, I can bring some bees from the outside to breed here, then you'll know if I'm telling the truth."

After hearing his explanation, the three people realized that the habits of bees and butterflies they have seen were like that. Thinking about it, it really seemed to be the truth. Although the three people didn't express it, they have believed what he said was true.

Ai! I never thought that even with my noisy half bucket of water^[2], I actually have the talent to be a teacher, such unexpected! Yue Qianchou suppressed his inner feeling of satisfaction not to leak out, he smiled lightly and said, "Since you have learned about the problem, I don't need to go on the more complicated matter, it's enough to end it here..."

Chapter 52 - Purple Chaos

 
A spoonful of a purple object was poured into the small hole where one of the seeds was placed. Guan Yu quickly sealed the two holes with the soft soil around and immediately poured water from the bucket next to him. Yue Qianchou stared at him completing a series of movements then turned his gaze toward the soil.

Not long afterward, there was a crack in the soil that was penetrated by a few drops of water. Suddenly, the crack grew bigger and it was broken from the middle. A small conspicuous light green object was seen, it would be undetected without paying a close attention

Soon, the light green object was slightly shaken and gradually stretched out. A small green seedling appeared in front of him.

Yue Qianchou breathed in from his mouth and said, "That... That seed is germinating? How is it possible?" He stared at Guan Yu and asked again, "How did you do it?"

Guan Yu smiled at the green shoot and gestured for him to continue watching.

The small green shoot sprouted full of vitality, the branches spread into four and it continued to expand and grow at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The young leaves continued to multiply along the branches, the main trunk reached the height of human thighs. The beginning semi-transparent green trunk became brown, and the whole plant as if had finished, there was no more movement.

Aside from the growth process that was too rampant, no one could see the difference between this plant and other plants.

Is it done? Yue Qianchou regained his breath and just breathed out. Suddenly, the plant was moving again, the branches and leaves were shaking and attracted his attention.

The quietness of the plant seemed to be in order to brew something, the branches were trembling, there was something unusual growing on the branches, starting from a small bud and becoming larger and larger.

Afterward, there was something trying to break free from the buds, the fragile flowers burst out open. The bright colors began to bloom, it kept expanding and shaping. A few full bloomed flowers appeared in front of the eyes, the petals were bright and fresh, the stamens and pistil pleased the eyes.

Not long after, the people who stood on the side could smell the faint fragrance

In this way, a plant with more than a dozen flowers on its branches stood in front of the eyes. From the time of sowing, watering, germination, establishment, vegetative growth, budding, and flowering, it only took a tea time, it was really unbelievable.

Looking at this scene, Yue Qianchou held his breath for a long time. He slowly turned his face and his eyes fell on the bamboo tube in Guan Yu's hand. In addition to that spoonful of a purple object, he didn't find any abnormality during the planting process. It was clear that something in the bamboo tube was the key.

Guan Yu smiled at him and said, "I'll let you see again." Then he squatted and repeated the process to the other small hole. When he added the purple object, he added a more spoonful than before.

Soon, a seed grew into a swaying plant. Looking at the growth process, Yue Qianchou didn't find any difference with the former.

Looking at the two flowers stood together, the abnormality suddenly appeared. After the flowers bloomed, the petals were changing, the eye-catching bright colors eclipsed, it slowly dying of an old age. The flowers began to wither, the petals fell piece by piece, the stamens and the pistil shrink and fell down. The branches and leaves withered and turned yellow as it collapsed. Finally, only dead branches remained on the ground, it was in contrast to the full bloom flowers beside it.

"How is it?" Guan Yu shook the bamboo tube with a smile "Do you think I showed you a good thing?"

Yue Qianchou nodded his head and said, "It really is a good thing, to actually compress the growth process of a plant in the time of tea, really magical, but..." He suddenly pointed to the distant chaotic purple fog and asked, "What I want to know the most is, what method did you use to put that purple chaos into this small bamboo tube?" Just as the flowers withered, Yue Qianchou suddenly had this feeling, he guessed the object in Guan Yu's hand.

"Hah, I really can't hide the truth from you," Guan Yu wanted to tease Yue Qianchou but he didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. He raised the bamboo tube in his hand and exclaimed, "Although I don't know what it is, you should understand it better than me. You said that this is the purple chaos, then it should be purple chaos. I have only discovered the usefulness of this object purely by accident.

He looked into the distance purple chaos and said, "When I first saw this thing, I felt it was very strange. What was behind that purple? After strenuous efforts, I discovered that although this thing is soft, I couldn't even squeeze it open nor break it, let alone install it, it's really amazing. I thought you know something about it, now it seems that you don't."

Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Then how did you do it?"

"Haha, it was merely a coincidence. A few days ago I was hungry and went to roast rabbit meat on a stick, I had this weird idea. Although that purple chaos couldn't be broken even by a stone, it was unexpectedly scratched by the wooden stick in my hand. After trying several times with different objects, I discovered that this chaos purple is invulnerable to anything but a wood attribute object. So I dug it out with a wooden spoon and tried to store it, but in the end, it was still useless. It would eventually disappear whenever I store it, then I finally thought about using a bamboo as a storage since it is also a wood attribute. That's how I came into this, haha! Really useful," Said Guan Yu followed by his proud laugh.

"So that's how it is!" Yue Qianchou finally realized, he then pointed to the bamboo tube in the hand and pointed to the blooming flowers, "How did you know that it possesses this magical effect? Was it also accidentally discovered?"

Guan Yu secretly gazed at the White Fox, he smiled and said, "Well, I've been planting flowers every day, during the boring time, I had the impulse to see what it would be like to use this purple chaos as a fertilizer, so I scoop out from the tube, and the result.... The result startled me! It was that time I discovered this purple chaos possessed such a magical effect. After that, I tried several times to decide the right amount so I can control the growth rate of the flower plants."

"I would have never thought that such a treasure unexpectedly inside my own turf." Yue Qianchou heaved a sigh and said, "Is it also working on other kinds of plants? Yunchang, have you tried other things?

On the side, the White Fox stared at Guan Yu, it was her first time Guan Yu was also called as Yunchang.

Guan Yu nodded, "I have tried a few,  it should be useful to grow any plants. However, I discovered a strange problem, the flowers and plants that we have planted were never bearing any seeds. Looking at it, it should be impossible, I can understand it if it is because there is no blossoming flower, but this is not the case. The same is true with the purple chaos, is it related to this place? Boss, you always said that this is your territory, I want you to explain it to me!"

Yue Qianchou also pondered the problem, as for Guan Yu's demand, he pretended not to hear it.

The two eyes swept across the blooming flower garden, he felt that there was something missing. The slightly frowning eyebrows suddenly loosened. Yue Qianchou pointed toward the dead branches that had just experienced the rise and fall, he said, "Yes, you just do it again just the way it was."
