Chapter 445: Soul Tablet and Life Lamp

So it was better to leave a portion for Chen Zi Ya to deal with the sect. But it certainly wouldn't be too many, to avoid her appearing too outstanding.

By then, if she was taken a fancy to by some ancestor and accepted as a disciple or something, that would be troublesome.

Next were the uniformly sized twenty jade boxes. Lin Zhangqing opened them one by one and found that they were basically all empty.

Only in one jade box with a Spirit-Sealing Talisman did he find two demon cores. They were very fresh, and he understood that these should be the demon cores of the two second-stage Earth Armored Rhinoceroses.

With a thought, he put these two demon cores together with the demon cores he harvested today, but he placed them separately in different jade boxes according to early, mid, and late stages, for easy retrieval later.

The remaining things were a black identity jade token, but it was already covered in cracks, proving that the owner of the jade token had already died and fallen.

And there were some daily necessities, clothes, and other sundries. There were absolutely no cultivation methods, secret manuals, or similar things.

The two jade slips found didn't have the things Lin Zhangqing wanted either. One of them recorded.

All the big and small experiences of this Ghost Controlling Sect cultivator named Liu Shengfu from entering the sect to preparing to participate in the Jiazi Trial. It was somewhat similar to a biography.

Lin Zhangqing decided that whenever he had free time, he could take it out and read it, just to pass the time and relieve boredom, and by the way, understand from the side what kind of sect the Ghost Controlling Sect really was.

The other jade slip was specifically issued by the Ghost Controlling Sect to these cultivators participating in the Jiazi Trial.

It was all information collected in the past, and the content was about the same as the one Great-Grandmother gave him in Lin Zhangqing's storage bag.

So, after he browsed through it roughly, he put it away. This thing was not as interesting as the biography just now!

After storing all the things in categories, he took out the third-grade conch and communicated with Chen Zi Ya.

After confirming that everything was normal on her side and there was no danger, Lin Zhangqing finally felt relieved and instructed her that she could let the Purple Crystal Scorpions guard her at night, before ending the call.

Leaving the Illusion Array, he patrolled around the station and confirmed there were no traces of other cultivators before he returned to the array and entered the inner space directly.

Entering this time, he mainly wanted to take Lu Youqiang and Lu Youguang into the spirit beast bracelet to bring them out.

He could choose not to use them, but he couldn't just enter the inner space to find them when he wanted to use them! After all, the secret realm was ever-changing.

No one knew when they would be needed, so it was better to be prepared first; that was the proper way.

As for delaying the catalysis and cultivation of spirit herbs and spirit plants in the inner space, there was no way around it; there always needed to be some trade-offs!

As soon as he entered, he felt that the inner space had increased quite a bit, and there was a feeling of extreme emptiness. Lin Zhangqing specifically flew a large circle on his sword, really a large circle.

Last time he entered the inner space, there were already more than thirty thousand mu of spirit land. Now he felt it had at least doubled, and it might be even more! Because now the comparison in the inner space was really too obvious; only the part in the very middle was green.

The remaining land was all pitch black, without a bit of green, proving that the land utilization rate of the inner space now was really excessively low!

This made his idea of getting some cultivators to come in and farm for him even more urgent. After flying a circle to declare he was back, he returned to the courtyard. Not long after, all the deer ran over. Only those four second-stage ones could use the Wind Escape Technique, so they were the fastest!

After everyone arrived, Lin Zhangqing fed them Spirit Nurturing Pills, fed each of the second-stage Three-Colored Deer a Vermilion Fruit, and then communicated with Lu Youqiang and Lu Youguang through the contract.

He said he might need their help to travel, and after communicating the general situation with them, he got their support.

It was mainly because Lin Zhangqing promised too much, and they couldn't refuse. Besides, Lu Youqiang had experienced similar experiences before.

So after communicating with them slightly, they agreed very easily. He let them go to communicate and say goodbye to their families first, to avoid the remaining deer worrying if they suddenly disappeared.

When Lin Zhangqing left later, he would take them into the spirit bracelet and bring them out of the inner space.

After they all left, only Lu Xiaomin, who had advanced not long ago, remained. It had been trying to burrow into Lin Zhangqing's arms, and he picked it up.

Now its size had also grown quite a bit, but it was still as clever and cute as ever. It was already at mid-first-stage cultivation and could also help share a little bit of the work of catalyzing spirit plants.

It just happened to relieve a little bit of the work pressure after Lu Youqiang and the others were taken away from the inner space. After playing with it for a while, he let it leave.

He summoned Xu Meiniang and Zhao Liyu, who were waiting on the side. After the two of them paid their respects, Lin Zhangqing directly asked: "The inner space has increased quite a bit. Have you measured the land area of the inner space after the addition?"

Xu Meiniang nodded and said: "Yes, Master! When the space stopped growing, we went to measure it immediately! Now there is about seventy-two thousand mu of spirit land area in the space, an increase of forty-one thousand mu all at once.

However, Sister Yu and I are indeed powerless and have no way to take care of so much spirit land.

Please, Master, use your discretion to add some more manpower for us! Otherwise, we really are too busy to handle it. Seeing such good spirit land lying waste, we really feel too heartbroken!"

Lin Zhangqing waved his hand and said: "Alright, I know about this! I will pay attention to this matter during this period!"

In fact, he had originally planned to take advantage of this trial opportunity to use the characteristics of the Purple Crystal Scorpions to capture a few female cultivators who were pleasing to the eye and bring them into the inner space to farm for him.

But later, after thinking about it, he found it somewhat improper and couldn't do it this way. It was mainly because these disciples of major sects, when they came out to participate in the trial.

Would definitely leave soul tablets, life lamps, and similar things in the sect. If they hadn't left the secret realm, but the soul tablets or life lamps left in the sect hadn't shattered or extinguished.

Then someone would definitely investigate their whereabouts. If there were any special means that implicated Lin Zhangqing, that would be bad! So he still decided not to capture these disciples of major sects in the secret realm, mainly out of fear of the unknown means of those high-stage cultivators.

It was better to wait until he was out traveling and adventuring alone before doing these things! By then, there wouldn't need to be too many scruples!

In any case, there were robber cultivators who weren't afraid of death everywhere. If he exposed a little wealth, there would definitely be plenty of people who couldn't help but take action.
