Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

Spirit Planting Arts, plainly speaking, are some methods of planting spirit herbs compatible with alchemy; generally speaking, these arts are closely related to alchemists, and basically all of them know some.

However, because Yu Zhangsheng's Alchemy Path mainly came through adding points, there existed a certain disconnect, but solving it was also extremely simple.

Thus, Yu Zhangsheng's mind moved.

【Skill: First Rank Spirit Plant (800/1000) Third Rank Alchemy Path (150000/500000)】

With Yu Zhangsheng's current cultivation base, wanting to raise the Spirit Planting Art's rank was already very simple; actually practicing a few more times would naturally raise it, but Yu Zhangsheng chose an even more simple rough way.

【Consume 200 Essence Points, Spirit Planting Art raised to Second Rank!】

【Second Rank Spirit Plant (0/10000)】

"Continue," glancing at the ten thousand Essence Points needed, Yu Zhangsheng felt no reaction in his heart; this amount of Essence Points was just pocket change to him now, so there would be no hesitation, continuing to choose to add points.

【Consume 10000 Essence Points, Spirit Planting Art raised to Third Rank!】

【Third Rank Spirit Plant (0/100000)】

"One hundred thousand Essence Points, continue raising."

Yu Zhangsheng pondered slightly, closed his eyes sensing the various spirit planting knowledges arising from nothing in his mind sea, and lightly exhaled a breath.

【Consume 100000 Essence Points! Spirit Planting Art raised to Fourth Rank!】

【Fourth Rank Spirit Plant (0/500000)】

"Almost enough for use."

Yu Zhangsheng sensed the swelling pain coming from his brow heart, Yu Zhangsheng rubbed his forehead, his eyes revealing a trace of clarity; various spirit planting methods, the techniques needed during planting... miscellaneous knowledges, continuously surged into Yu Zhangsheng's mind sea, among them including some corresponding spirit planting spells, all with comprehension.

Spirit Planting methods, unlike Pills, do not have too great a requirement for cultivation base; therefore raising to Fourth Rank, with Yu Zhangsheng's current cultivation base he could completely bring it into play.

After a brief rest, once the spirit planting arts in his mind sea were digested thoroughly, Yu Zhangsheng slowly rose, walking toward the rear courtyard.

The entire Yang Tianyi's Cave Dwelling pavilion was actually extremely huge; under the Formation's envelopment, the entire rear courtyard was also separately opened up into a huge Medicine Field, various spirit herbs growing vigorously within, Spirit Qi misty and winding around, supplying Yang Tianyi's daily alchemy needs.

Nearly a hundred mu of land, divided into several Zones; some Zones had astonishing temperatures, flames pervasive; some Zones were enveloped in cold Qi, frost everywhere; even more Zones had water mist forming pearls, marshes continuous...

According to different spirit herbs' different needs for growth environments, the environments were also completely different, each monopolized by Formations, not interfering with each other; one could see, just building this Spirit Yao Yuan, Yang Tianyi spent no small amount of thought.

But overall, inside the Yao Yuan, Spirit Qi abounded, medicinal fragrance assaulted the nose; for ordinary people, merely standing here and taking a breath could prolong life and invigorate spirit, marvelous uses endless.

And this year, for the sake of supplying Yu Zhangsheng's alchemy consumption, this hundred mu Medicine Field could be said to have shrunk considerably, leaving much empty ground; the rest were mostly spirit herbs whose years had not yet reached standard.

Yang Tianyi's joking words about generally depleting his family assets, though exaggerated, also revealed a few parts of truth.

"Master is truly generous..."

Yu Zhangsheng was slightly moved, amid pondering walked onto a piece of empty ground, carefully took out spirit herbs one by one from his Storage Bag, and planted them.

"Nine Star Grass, medicinal effect mild, growth environment yet extremely violent, likes to take root in dry scorching places; placing it in the fire flame zone for planting is most suitable."

"Seven Leaf Frost Flower, seven leaves carry frost, entire body icy cold, yet grows in Spirit Qi rich mild places; therefore planting in the warm Spirit Zone should be the best choice."

"Blood Spiritual Herb... ten year medicinal effect, roots deep yet brittle, planting requires extra care..."

In his mind sea, various key points about these spirit herbs emerged bit by bit; in Hui Shui Shan, the spirit herbs Yu Zhangsheng had gathered could be called massive; under the current nonstop planting, soon the originally empty Zones were refilled by spirit herbs one by one.

And in the dark, Yang Tianyi silently watching Yu Zhangsheng, at this moment his chin nearly dropped in shock, expression also changing from initial calm to disbelief, finally turning into a smile.

"This guy's Spirit Planting Art is also not as bad as I imagined; these spirit herbs, the techniques and precautions needed for transplanting, some I am not even too clear on, yet he actually grasps them so clearly."

"So many spirit herbs, actually one hundred percent transplant survival rate... looks like I still underestimated him."

Spirit Planting Art, looks simple, but actually inside involves many things: spirit plant planting methods, techniques to note during transplanting, various spirit plant care and so on...

Among these, without many years of experience and guidance, it is hard to be like Yu Zhangsheng, planting with one hundred percent survival rate.

A full three hours, until this Yao Yuan's mostly empty spaces were filled almost completely, all the spirit herbs Yu Zhangsheng had gathered all along were also completely transplanted.

"Finally almost done..."

Looking at the large Medicine Field before him, Yu Zhangsheng exhaled a breath; as his spirit relaxed, a trace of smile surfaced on his face.

"The rest is simple."

"Rainmaking Technique!"

Yu Zhangsheng laughed hehe, clapped his palms; the next moment, surrounding Spirit Qi surged into mist, continuously condensed, finally turning into threads of raindrops, falling onto the spirit herbs, continuously moistening them.

"Always consuming Master's stores isn't a solution; there must always be replenishment."

Muttered a sentence, Yu Zhangsheng handled things here for another half day, then carrying the Condensing Foundation Pill took leave and departed, heading to Zhang Tianwen's residence.

"Changsheng you this... how should I thank you?" Zhang Tianwen looked at the Pill in his hand, gaze moved, emotion carrying a trace of complexity looking at Yu Zhangsheng, softly said.

"Thank what, between us Senior Brothers where is there need for these formalities; Senior Brother Zhang able to recover Spirit Platform early is the best."

Yu Zhangsheng laughed hehe, patted Zhang Tianwen's shoulder, pushed back the Storage Bag he handed over, said without room for refusal: "Alright, now that Condensing Foundation Pill is in hand, Senior Brother you take it early; I won't disturb further, returning first; hope next time seeing Senior Brother you'll manifest elegant bearing."

Finished speaking, Yu Zhangsheng cupped fists toward Zhang Tianwen, then returned to Cave Dwelling; as for Zhang Tianwen's final result, Yu Zhangsheng could only silently bless.

"Sigh." Watching Yu Zhangsheng gradually disappear from vision's background, Zhang Tianwen let out a long sigh, then looked at the Pill in hand, shook head and spirit invigorated.

"Last attempt; if it fails, then can only use this to condense Golden Core..."

For a full one week, inside Wanxiang Sect, once again restored calm; everything as usual.

Regarding Yu Zhangsheng and others' matters in Hui Shui Shan, ultimately only a small portion of people knew, therefore did not trigger much shock; and Yu Zhangsheng's days also rarely once again restored tranquility: raising chickens, feeding beasts, cultivating...

But inside Wanxiang Sect, regarding the Dark Current's actions, yet never stopped; ultimately after thorough planning, personally led by Zheng Tianheng, thoroughly investigate all Dark Current Strongholds within Wanxiang Sect's ten thousand li range, issued extermination activity against this Organization, the Dark Current.

Its reasoning was sound and well-founded, and its attitude was also extremely firm; moreover, it had the unprecedented Yujian Peak Sub-Talisman Ancestor of the Wanxiang Sect stepping forward to endorse it, serving as its backing, issuing a shock spell.

Thus, the entire sect trembled; mission after mission was issued, cultivator after cultivator mobilized, and the spies spread throughout the Wanxiang Sect's territory continuously brought news of the Dark Current.

All of this also shocked the remaining sects within the Three Gates and Six Sects, as well as the various Xianren; some echoed in response, but more maintained a wait-and-see stance.

The only thing that surprised the Wanxiang Sect was the Zihong Gate within the Three Gates, which also made its stance known afterward, thoroughly investigating the Dark Current forces within the Zihong Gate's territory; upon any discovery, they would immediately purge them, and even issued a command that if necessary, they would cooperate with the Wanxiang Sect's actions, uniting with each other.

For a time, this made the various sect forces maintaining silence unable to sit still; amid heated discussions, they speculated.

"The Zihong Gate is taking a stand for the Wanxiang Sect! Who doesn't know that behind this Dark Current organization, there is some shadow of the Xuan Yin Gate? Now, first the Wanxiang Sect launched an extermination campaign against the Dark Current, and now there is even the Zihong Gate's stance..."

"This time, even if the Xuan Yin Gate is furious, I'm afraid they won't dare to turn hostile for a while! They all need to properly consider it."

"However, when did the Zihong Gate and the Wanxiang Sect become so close? Or is this just a coincidence?"

Within the Three Gates and Six Sects, there were also some middle and small force high-level figures, each exchanging thoughts, thinking much from this matter.

"But it's also true; the Dark Current's actions these years have become increasingly unscrupulous; all forces have long detested the Dark Current, only they feared the Xuan Yin Gate and the Dark Current's combined strength, so they dared not speak their anger."

"Now, since the Wanxiang Sect has taken the lead, it counts as having a leader, and with the Zihong Gate taking a stand, then all this seems only natural..."

"After all, such an uncertain organization is a malignant tumor while also being the Xuan Yin Gate's eyeliner; no one hopes that within their own sphere of influence, there is such an organization stirring up storms."

As these thoughts connected, thus, following the Zihong Gate's move, one after another, even more middle and small forces acted, issuing one extermination action after another against the Dark Current.

Within the Three Gates and Six Sects, two more sects stepped forward, likewise echoing the Wanxiang Sect, taking this opportunity to thoroughly purge the Dark Current spies within their own forces; only some forces with good relations with the Xuan Yin Gate still maintained a wait-and-see state.

But even so, as one Dark Current stronghold after another was uprooted, one Dark Current cultivator after another was intercepted and killed by the various sects, more matters also followed, exposed, surfacing; for a time, within Wu Zhou, there was universal outrage.

"What? These Dark Current cultivators not only have hearts blinded by profit, but their methods are also cruel, secretly cultivating evil techniques?!"

"How dare they?! Using the blood of an entire city's mortals to cultivate their so-called Dark Current Saint Art, exchanging it for cultivation speed beyond ordinary people?! Sins towering to heaven, making hair stand on end!"

………

"Using the souls of ten thousand mortals to condense into a Blood Soul Golden Core?! No wonder there are so many Golden Core experts within the Dark Current; I initially thought it was forcibly piled up relying on resources and pills, never expected it was actually cultivated through such a heaven-defying evil method!"

"Truly damnable! If this kind of malignant tumor isn't removed, how can there be peace within my Wu Zhou? How can billions of mortal living beings live in peace?!"

"Fifty years ago, the Han Shui Gate was destroyed overnight; all living beings within the entire sect's range, none survived; the earth stained with blood, blood light towering, resentment shocking; it turns out it was also the Dark Current people secretly acting, the purpose being to help the Dark Current Sect Master break through to Sub-Talisman?!"

………

News such as this, as the various sects besieged the Dark Current, was continuously exposed; thus, within a short time, within Wu Zhou, every bush and tree looked like an enemy soldier, the Dark Current's reputation plummeted in an instant, becoming like rats crossing the street, everyone shouting to beat them; within Wu Zhou, anger toward the Dark Current completely erupted at this moment.

And this situation was also something the Wanxiang Sect had not anticipated at the start; in the end, they could only sigh with emotion: the Dark Current's deeds these years were truly intolerable by heaven, they brought it upon themselves.

But even so, there were still quite a few forces, most continuing to maintain silence, a wait-and-see state, not acting rashly, not joining this extermination and purge operation against the Dark Current.

More people looked toward the Xuan Yin Gate, waiting for the Xuan Yin Gate's attitude, while the Xuan Yin Gate strangely maintained silence, letting the winds and clouds churn outside, giving no response.

And on Yu Changsheng's side, he also received the news at the first moment, constantly monitoring the progress of this operation, and even personally participating in it.

Looking at the Chuan Yin Yu Tong flashing in his hand, Yu Changsheng's eyes flickered; he deeply exhaled a breath, muttering to himself: "Unexpectedly, behind the Dark Current there is actually such a dark scene; this time, it truly is self-inflicted, interesting."

"From the day I dueled with Yan Ta, I sensed something wrong and cruel about the technique Yan Ta cultivated; I thought it was just an isolated case; now it seems there was likely collusion long ago."

"Sure enough, there is a connection between the Xuan Yin Gate and the Dark Current; for the Dark Current to dare do such shocking things within Wu Zhou, and for so many years not be discovered as abnormal, behind this, if one says there is no Xuan Yin Gate cover-up, it is obviously impossible..."

Yu Changsheng pondered; thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, a trace of killing intent faintly erupted.

"Such a heaven-harming, reason-defying matter, yet they can do it so unscrupulously; the Dark Current! Already has a death-seeking path, truly deserving of ten thousand deaths! Fine then, this time let's see how the Dark Current that has provoked public wrath can continue to survive with difficulty."

"Just don't know, facing this kind of situation, the Xuan Yin Gate side, will there be any indication? Secretly interfere, or just give up? Although the Dark Current is infamous, it is still a major chess piece..."

"Giving up like this is tantamount to letting the Xuan Yin Gate cut off a piece of flesh; I'm afraid it will be especially heartbreaking, right?" (Chapter End)
