Chapter 176: Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Afterward, Jerry began his own Cultivation.
Jerry prepared to try Sowing Beans into Soldiers and found some plant seeds.
Then Jerry began to release the Growth Skill while simultaneously starting the Infusion of energy.
After consuming 90% of Jerry's energy, these plants grew unevenly; there were hundred-year-old ones and thousand-year-old ones, but no ten-thousand-year-old ones. Perhaps among these seeds, there just happened to be none that could grow to ten thousand years.
How to see their talent limits from the seeds—this was a very critical question.
Afterward, Jerry began to compare the seeds; those not plump were discarded, and those incomplete were discarded.
Finally, a batch of seeds that all looked very good was obtained.
However, during the experiment, the talent limits of this batch of seeds were still different. It seems one cannot tell a seed's talent from its appearance.
After asking the Fairy Queen, she had no way either; in the past, their clan always planted plants in large areas and then selected the plants with higher ages among them to use for battle.
Unable to get what he wanted from the Fairy Queen, Jerry suddenly thought of the Immortal Herbs. Afterward, Jerry found these Immortal Herbs; they had all transformed into Fairies now.
After Wangchuan Qiushui transformed into a Fairy, she directly turned into a cute little girl.
Seeing Jerry walk over, she immediately ran far away!
"Jerry, I have transformed into a Fairy now, there is no Wangchuan Qiushui Dew for you! Don't come looking for me." Wangchuan Qiushui said while running. One look at this and it was clear she had been scared by Jerry's wool-shearing.
Jerry directly connected his Divine Sense to Wangchuan Qiushui and instantly controlled her.
Then he saw her skills: Energy Absorption, Soul Bewitchment, Soul Chaos, Soul Enhancement, Concealment, Recovery, and Fruiting.
So many skills! Truly worthy of being an Immortal Herb!
"Jerry, what are you doing? Why can't I control myself! Let me go quickly!" Wangchuan Qiushui said.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just looking at your abilities. You pretend to be very weak every day; it turns out you have a Concealment skill! You were hiding your true strength! Xiao Qiushui!"
"How did you know? What exactly did you do? Let me go quickly!" Wangchuan Qiushui wanted to resist Jerry's control, but she couldn't resist at all.
"Xiao Qiushui, stop resisting. I should count as a god of the plant world! Just like the Fairy Queen, it's useless for you to resist! Haha." Jerry said with a laugh.
"Even so, why are you controlling me?"
"Xiao Qiushui, you hide too deeply. I'll just ask, what is the use of your Fruiting skill? Forget it, I'll try it!"
"Jerry, don't mess around!"
Jerry directly released the Fruiting skill, and then Wangchuan Qiushui directly reverted to her original form. In the middle of the leaves, a petal grew out, then the petal bloomed, withered, and finally left behind a seed.
Damn, so this is Wangchuan Qiushui Dew!
"Xiao Qiushui, you lied to me before, right! There's no Wangchuan Qiushui Dew? What is this?" Jerry asked.
"Jerry, after I took human form, I couldn't perform Infusion anymore. As for Fruiting, it consumes my own cultivation! You messed around like this, and my cultivation regressed by ten thousand years! Jerry, you are too bad!" Wangchuan Qiushui said sadly.
"Let's not talk about the cultivation matter for now. I'll ask you a question: your skill is Fruiting, and Wangchuan Qiushui Dew is your fruit; shouldn't it be called a seed?" Jerry asked.
"Yes! What about it?"
"I... you should have said so earlier!"
"What's wrong?"
"I wanted to cultivate Immortal Herbs before, didn't I take your leaves and branches? None of them could be planted to survive. If there are seeds, can't I just cultivate the seeds directly?"
"You didn't say you wanted seeds before. Besides, didn't I give you all my seeds?"
Jerry had the urge to strangle Xiao Qiushui. If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have eaten them directly. I could have planted so many over these past few years!
"Do other Immortal Herbs have seeds too?" Jerry asked seriously.
"Nonsense, what kind of plant doesn't have seeds?" Xiao Qiushui retorted.
"Damn it, I missed out on hundreds of millions!" Jerry said excitedly.
Afterward, Jerry went directly to find the other Immortal Herbs. After explaining the reason, they all cooperated and gave Jerry seeds.
Looking at the Immortal Herb seeds in his hand, Jerry chuckled. After going in a big circle, the Immortal Herbs were back! This undoubtedly made Jerry very excited!
Jerry didn't want to stay in the forest for even a moment now and went directly to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
It had been a long time since he came, and the medicinal herbs here were all growing very well.
Jerry directly performed Infusion on a patch of medicinal herbs, and after they reached their limit, he harvested them directly.
Then, on the cleared ground, he planted the Immortal Herb seeds.
With one Growth Skill, all the seeds began to take root and sprout, and then Jerry directly performed Infusion. Very quickly, all the plants exceeded ten thousand years, and they still hadn't reached their limit.
It was just that Jerry's soul power had bottomed out, so he could only recover on the spot.
"Boom"—a loud noise, and the entire Barrier shook.
Jerry opened his eyes, and his Divine Sense was released immediately.
"Listen, people inside, open the Barrier immediately, otherwise we will attack with full force this time!" A man's voice came.
"I have already sent a message back, the Spirit Hall will send people over immediately, you all better retreat quickly!" The person inside replied.
"Haha, still trying to use this excuse to scare me. I inquired at the Spirit Hall, and absolutely no one knows about this place. You are using the Spirit Hall's signboard to try and scare me. Let me tell you, I wasn't scared growing up! I'll give you ten seconds to open the Barrier immediately. Otherwise, we will take action."
"Ten."
"Nine."
"Eight."
"Seven."
Who is this, so arrogant!
He saw the people outside releasing their martial souls one after another. It turned out to be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. They are truly courting death; I didn't look for you, yet you came knocking on my door!
"One."
"Do it."
At this moment, a huge voice came: "Let me see who dares!"
Then Jerry appeared in front of everyone.
Jerry's appearance undoubtedly gave the people outside a start, but after seeing Jerry clearly, they quickly regained their composure.
"Haha, and here I was wondering who it was. Just based on a little brat like you? Go home and drink your mother's milk!"
The people nearby also began to laugh boisterously.
"Insolence! This is Lord Jerry of the Spirit Hall. Why haven't you knelt down to beg for forgiveness upon seeing Lord Jerry!" said the person in charge inside the Barrier.
"Haha, just a little brat like him, and he's 'Lord Jerry'? If he's Lord Jerry, then I'm Chrysanthemum Douluo!"
Hearing them speak this way, even Jerry's good temper could no longer endure it.
Then let you all try the skill I just learned!
He directly controlled the trees outside; those that could use Entanglement used Entanglement, those that could release poison released poison, those that could drain blood drained blood, and other plants with various attributes also launched attacks of elemental energy.
For a time, the group of Spirit Masters outside fought desperately, but unfortunately, given the disparity in strength, no amount of resistance was of any use.
Soon, only one Spirit Master remained alive outside, and this was only because Jerry had controlled the situation to leave him behind; all the other Spirit Masters had died in battle, and not even their corpses were left behind, as they were dragged underground by the plants to serve as fertilizer.
"Go back and tell the people behind you that I am waiting right here. Let them come over; I want to see exactly who it is that dares to plot against the Spirit Hall! Get lost!" After Jerry finished speaking, he controlled the plants to throw that Spirit Master away.
The Spirit Master who survived was already on the verge of a mental breakdown, but clinging to his faith in his sect, he persisted until he returned to the station of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
As soon as he saw the Patriarch, the Spirit Master immediately shouted loudly: "They're all dead! Everyone is dead! So many plants! So many plants! Patriarch, save me!"
After the Spirit Master finished saying this sentence, his mind finally found release, and he collapsed directly onto the ground!
The Patriarch Yu Yuanzhen hurriedly had someone check the situation.
The person who stepped forward to check looked for a while, then turned his head and said to Yu Yuanzhen: "Patriarch, he is dead, he died from a mental collapse!"
"Make arrangements to investigate the situation," said Yu Yuanzhen.
Subsequently, the subordinates began to investigate the situation, and they found out very quickly.
"Patriarch, the Spirit Master who returned is named Yu Xiaofei, a collateral disciple. There were a total of 37 Spirit Masters who went out with him this time. The reason was that they discovered a special place inside the Sunset Forest with the Spirit Hall's mark standing outside, but our people inquired and could not find any information about the Spirit Hall having this area. Moreover, one could see from the outside that people were living inside, so they wanted to take this place."
"Oh! It's related to the Spirit Hall again! If it really is a place belonging to the Spirit Hall, then there is a situation! The Sunset Forest belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire; if they occupy this area, it means this area has something special," said Yu Yuanzhen.
"From the few words Yu Xiaofei said, it can be inferred that the other thirty-six Spirit Masters who accompanied him are all dead. He must have been intentionally left behind by the other party to deliver a message. It seems the other party is very confident. As for what he meant by 'so many plants,' I still cannot understand; there are many plants in the forest, that is very normal!" analyzed the Second Elder.
