Chapter 504: Sharing and Admonition

Now that she was left all by herself, she probably didn't know how to face her Master or her familiar fellow disciples upon returning.

Therefore, on the journey back together, she remained in low spirits the entire time!

Chen Zi Ya, however, kept trying to converse with her, hoping to enlighten her, but the effect was not obvious, and in the end, she could only give up helplessly. After the two returned to their residence, they did not rest, because they had actually rested enough on the treasure ship. Now they had to seize the time to transplant the purple bamboo clusters and the few second-grade spirit peach trees from the spirit plant bags.

Around Chen Zi Ya's residence, the two began digging nearly a hundred deep pits according to the locations she had marked.

Moreover, in each pit, they specially placed two or three hundred low-grade spirit stones before planting the purple bamboo clusters inside; this way, they would certainly grow better in the future! This method of cultivation was not something every spirit plant master would be willing to use; only someone like Lin Zhangqing, who was relatively wealthy and generous, would be willing to do so! After waiting for a period of time to confirm that these spirit plants had all survived,

Chen Zi Ya would utilize these purple bamboo clusters to arrange them into an array, and incidentally, release the Spirit-Shocking Cicadas she had on hand into this area! As for the other three second-grade spirit peach trees, the method was the same, except that in the pits where they were planted, each had more spirit stones placed inside—about one thousand low-grade spirit stones! Moreover, they were planted directly in Chen Zi Ya's courtyard; in the future, she would be able to see the spirit peach trees blossom and bear fruit, which could be considered another kind of scenery!

The two were busy like this for several hours, and it wasn't until around noon that they finally finished everything! Just as they wanted to sit down and rest for a while, Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia arrived together for a visit!

The two had just learned that the cultivators who participated in the Jiazi Trial had returned, so they immediately made an appointment and rushed here! Along the way, the two were very anxious and uneasy, and it wasn't until they saw that Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya were both safe and sound that they finally felt relieved!

And seeing that the cultivation bases of Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya had both improved significantly, they were naturally both happy and envious!

The four gathered again, and their feelings for each other felt much warmer. The group sat down in the pavilion within the courtyard, and Chen Zi Ya brought out spirit fruits and spirit tea to entertain them.

After everyone had drunk a few cups of Green Jade Tea, Hu Yunna finally asked, "Senior Brother Gao! Was your Jiazi Trial this time smooth? Share your experiences with us!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, and after organizing his thoughts, he said, "For the two of us, it should be considered smooth.

We didn't spend much time before meeting up, and the two of us supported each other, successfully passing the Jiazi Trial! But for others, it was not necessarily the case. When the Qingyun Sect went, there were about eight hundred people, but only over one hundred and eighty were able to return.

Even half of the Purple Mansion cultivators were lost inside.

If calculated carefully, over seventy percent of the people who went inside died! It can be said to be extremely cruel and tragic.

The whole process was actually very simple: just hunting demon beasts, and in the end, cultivators killing each other to compete for the demon cores on hand; there was nothing particularly special! Anyway, the whole process gave me the feeling of naked survival of the fittest; there was no such thing as luck!

In the future, if you don't have any powerful means, you must never participate in this kind of trial!"

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia truly felt the cruelty of this trial and felt fortunate that they had not participated! Zhao Mingxia, however, noticed the surrounding purple bamboo forest and the few second-grade spirit peach trees; she remembered that she hadn't seen these spirit plants when she came last time!

So she couldn't help but ask, "Then, Senior Sister Chen, are these spirit plants around here your harvest from inside this time?"

Hearing this, Chen Zi Ya smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, these were all dug up by Green Brother!

And we also discovered a very powerful kind of spirit insect inside, and it took a great deal of effort to subdue them! Let me take one out for you to see!" After speaking, she took out a first-grade Spirit-Shocking Cicada from her spirit beast bag.

Because this Spirit-Shocking Cicada had already been blood-bound and had received instructions from its master, it did not chirp incessantly as it had before.

Instead, it was held very quietly in Chen Zi Ya's hand, and then she handed it to Zhao Mingxia and the other. The two held it in their hands and looked at it, very curious as to why Chen Zi Ya would say this little thing was very powerful.

So Zhao Mingxia continued to ask, "Senior Sister Chen, what exactly is powerful about it? Let us witness it!"

Hu Yunna also nodded; she had the same thought. After witnessing the power of the Purple Crystal Scorpion, she knew that ordinary spirit insects would certainly not be held in high regard by Lin Zhangqing!

So she was also extremely curious about this kind of spirit cicada and really wanted to see what was different about it!

So Chen Zi Ya smiled mysteriously at them and then said, "It performs divine soul attacks; you must be careful, remember to guard your spirit platform!"

After she finished speaking, that first-grade Spirit-Shocking Cicada chirped twice. Hu Yunna and the other felt their minds suddenly go blank, their bodies swayed twice, and only then did they react.

This time, the two were truly very shocked. Just a single first-grade spirit cicada could make both of them fall victim to its attack.

Then what if it were a second-grade one? Would that be the end of it? Would the two of them already have no power to fight back?

Hu Yunna couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Gao, what are they called? They are actually so powerful. How did you subdue them at that time?"

Zhao Mingxia also said, "I've truly broadened my horizons; this little fellow is indeed very powerful! If there were second-grade spirit insects, wouldn't you be able to run rampant in the trial secret realm relying on them?"

Hearing Zhao Mingxia ask this, Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh!

In fact, exposing the Spirit-Shocking Cicadas to Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia was the result of Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya's discussion.

Of course, there was also a bit of being forced into it; after all, they would definitely come over to visit frequently in the future!

In that case, they would eventually find out, so it was better to tell them directly to avoid them guessing back and forth!

Moreover, last time, the two of them were afraid that they were not well-prepared, so they specially gave Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya very precious gifts.

Therefore, after Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya discussed it, they were also prepared to reciprocate, which is why Chen Zi Ya directly led the topic to the Spirit-Shocking Cicadas! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 505 =====
