Chapter 102: The Powerful Plantation

"I am not lacking in cultivation techniques, but I am somewhat short on relevant cultivation resources, and furthermore, I am quite lacking in combat experience..."

Zhang Xuan gave instructions to the Red Queen before him, and the Red Queen faithfully recorded them.

"How about I try going to Beidou to cultivate? There is no shortage of cultivation resources in Beidou, and there are many secret arts as well."

This thought suddenly arose in Zhang Xuan's mind.

Currently, among the Group Files in the Chat Group, there are only two top-tier methods; after Qingdi finished exchanging for the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, he did not have much motivation left.

At the very least, he did not go on to collect the many top-tier methods from Beidou, such as the Nine Secrets or Emperor Scriptures; they are completely invisible.

Zhang Xuan is just as aware of the locations of these methods as Qingdi is, so now that his strength is approaching the Dao Palace Realm, Zhang Xuan had some thoughts, but no sooner had the thought arisen than Zhang Xuan stifled it.

"I've become arrogant!"

"It is a fact that the cultivation world in Beidou is currently in decline, but when the descendants of the various Holy Lands and families—the younger generation who are about my age—walk the world, they have basically already reached the Dao Palace Realm, or even higher, reaching Dragon Transformation; the outstanding ones among the younger generation have even reached the Four Extremes realm."

"With my current state, going there would basically be cannon fodder level; I don't have the destiny of Ye Fan, who can turn danger into safety every time."

"When Holy Lands and families compete, they only compete fairly when they both have top-tier backers; they won't suddenly use top-tier artifacts to commit murder. If a person like me walks over there and happens to attract the attention of many, they might just directly mobilize an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon to strike me down."

Regarding such matters, Zhang Xuan is well aware.

Ji Haoyue of the Desolate Ancient Ji Family, after his cultivation reaches a certain level of strength, can seek out opponents among the entire younger generation of the Eastern Region to temper himself, and from beginning to end, no one who is too far out of spec will try to kill him.

Even if some people are dissatisfied with him, they only hide their identities to launch sneak attacks in secret, and often after one failure, they dare not attempt a second, fearing retaliation from the Desolate Ancient Family.

When Ji Haoyue goes to the various families and Holy Lands to spar with others, he can visit openly, and there is absolutely no problem at all.

Yet Ye Fan, who is equally outstanding among the younger generation, is hunted down wherever he goes.

Once he reveals the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron and some top-tier mental cultivation methods, he is coveted by countless people; not only do his peers hunt him down, but many Supreme Elders of various families completely disregard their reputation and personally take action many times, forcing Ye Fan into a corner with nowhere to go.

At his worst, he was even targeted by an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon; although there were reasons for him being caught in a vortex, it can also be seen that without a background or a backer, the outcome in Beidou will be quite tragic—if you show off your talent and aptitude, you will definitely be beaten to a pulp by others.

It was precisely in this repeated targeting by others that Ye Fan gradually became Ye Hei, becoming cautious everywhere and always keeping an ace up his sleeve.

"The Indestructible Heavenly Art I cultivate doesn't have as many manifestations as the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, and there won't be too many traces when I take action, but once people learn of the relevant situation and I reveal top-tier talent and aptitude, I will definitely be hunted down."

"Although Beidou has countless treasures, I am not fortunate enough to enjoy them right now; it is best not to go and ask for trouble."

Having consecutively gone "unmatched" in two low-level worlds, Zhang Xuan did indeed have a bit of a desire to seek excitement, but he quickly calmed down.

Now is not the time for him to be reckless.

At the very least, Beidou, the Burial Emperor Star, is not a place where he can be reckless.

"As far as the early stages are concerned, only by reaching the Immortal Embryo Realm, especially the second layer of the Immortal Embryo Realm which is equivalent to the level of a Great Power, can one be reckless in the relevant domains of Beidou; only then can one go and harvest the corresponding magic treasures and top-tier secret arts."

Zhang Xuan estimated that the second layer of the Immortal Embryo Realm, which is the realm of a Great Power, would count as having the power to protect oneself in Beidou.

He has always sought stability; he does not want to do anything with even the slightest risk, after all, if something goes wrong, he is the one who will be unlucky.

"For now, I will accumulate some strength in low-level worlds."

With the experience from the Resident Evil world, Zhang Xuan already understands that devouring ordinary characters in a world does not have much significance.

If one wants to truly obtain special Origin, one needs to find some famous and powerful characters, preferably villains.

A character like Xiong Ba can be considered one of them; he has a great reputation and decent strength, and such characters can usually be counted as one of the sources of special Origin.

After all, special Origin, no matter what kind of world it is in, usually has manifestations that differ from ordinary people, and they will stand out from a crowd, either having a positive reputation or a negative one.

"Among the existing worlds, the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world is too low-level and does not have much significance."

Zhang Xuan first excluded the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world; not only is the martial power in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world at a low level, but the main issue is that the relevant villains are not particularly outstanding, with only a handful of people like Murong Fu and Murong Bo of Gusu.

There is also Qiao Feng's father, and slightly worse are the Four Great Evildoers.

But Zhang Xuan cannot muster much interest in these characters; overall, it's just a few scraps, and there is no great significance in sweeping through such a world.

On the other hand, he is somewhat interested in another world, Wind and Cloud.

The top villain Xiong Ba, the Four Great Divine Beasts, the long-hidden Di Shitian, the Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun who combine to form the Mo Ke Wu Liang, the Wu Ming whose primordial spirit can leave his body, the Sword Saint, the Wu Ming who plays the erhu at full health and wanders everywhere at low health...

Many characters are quite classic, especially with the Four Great Divine Beasts, which makes Zhang Xuan hold them in higher regard.

He has no small amount of interest in the Four Great Divine Beasts and the relevant top-tier characters.

"If the Origin of the Four Great Divine Beasts could be refined, I imagine it would allow me to receive a great replenishment."

Regarding this point, Zhang Xuan never doubts it; after all, the Phoenix's Origin, or Phoenix Origin, is what allowed Di Shitian to live for a thousand years—this alone makes this mass of Origin extremely powerful and special.

The Dragon Origin is also extremely special, and in terms of power, it is even above the Phoenix Origin.

There is not much clear information about the area where the Black Tortoise is located.

"I don't know if it's the anime version or the TV series version; if it's the anime version, I have to consider it carefully and cannot act recklessly."

In the anime version, Xiao Sanxiao, who devoured the Black Tortoise's Origin, was even stronger than Di Shitian, strong to the point of being unreasonable; he lived for over three thousand years and was later even able to reverse time—it was completely absurd.

If it is the anime version, Zhang Xuan will not consider the Wind and Cloud related world; it is too difficult.

"If it is the TV series related version, once my strength improves a bit more, I can basically sweep across the entire world."

Regarding this point, Zhang Xuan has no doubts at all.

The strength and realm of Di Shitian, who lived for over a thousand years, are not very strong, and his thousand years of Internal Energy did not show anything particularly special.

As the overall most powerful boss, his performance was quite lackluster.

If one were to go to the Wind and Cloud world to work, it should be relatively easy.

At the very least, if one were to devour the Qilin and the relevant Phoenix Origin, it should not be any worse than devouring some Divine Body or King Body.

"Sigh, but many joints in the Shenmu World have not been opened up."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan could not help but think of the Shenmo Lingyuan in the Shenmu World.

If one has the ability, going to the Shenmo Lingyuan would definitely be a huge windfall; what Divine Body or King Body—those people are true Gods, and if one devours them, one would definitely take off in one go.

"Sigh, my strength is still not enough!"

Zhang Xuan lay back on the recliner casually.

"Red Queen, Red Queen, read the Dao Palace Chapter of the Indestructible Heavenly Art to me in detail!"

"Yes!"

"The Dao Palace Realm is the location of the five internal organs of the human body: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys; metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Only by nurturing the five gods can one be considered to have reached the Dao Palace Realm..."

The Red Queen was quite capable; while reciting the relevant scriptures, she even specially accompanied them with corresponding Buddhist and Taoist chants. Faintly blending with the associated Sanskrit sounds, the recitation of these ancient texts did indeed possess a unique flavor.

Zhang Xuan had already completed most of the four minor realms of the Wheel Sea—the Bitter Sea, Life Spring, Divine Bridge, and Other Shore—and was now heading toward the Dao Palace Realm.

Going to the Resident Evil World, the harvest from this trip could not be considered poor.

"Hmm, I can go back for a stroll when I have time in the future!"

Thinking of the many zombies in the Resident Evil World, as well as the force he could use without any restraint, Zhang Xuan rubbed his chin and felt a bit nostalgic.

Soft fragrance and warm jade could be considered a seasoning in life; in any case, it was just a fleeting romance, and Zhang Xuan did not dwell on it too much.

While he was relaxing, the Chat Group suddenly popped up with a message.

Alice: 【I am very grateful for Zhang Xuan's help in my world.】

Meng Qi who has returned to secular life: 【Whoa, is this taking off after saving the world? Brother Zhang Xuan is steady.】

Xiong Ba: 【Curious about what the reward is this time.】

Zhang Sanfeng: 【Moving so fast? Impressive!】

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly; returning to a relatively safe world to browse the Chat Group made him feel happy and without much pressure.

And with the harvest this time being quite significant, Zhang Xuan felt the most special thing was not the Resident Evil World, but rather the Chat Group's newly opened feature: the Plantation.

It only took ten days for the Kunlun Flat Peach to mature, and furthermore, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Flat Peach had increased significantly; it could already be considered a heaven-sent treasure, which was quite good even in the Zhetian World.

After thinking about it, since joining the Chat Group, he had always been snatching Red Packets from others and had never sent one himself. Coupled with the need to promote the Plantation's functions, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment.

Looking at the two remaining Flat Peaches, he first set up a private Red Packet, specifying that only Zhang Sanfeng could claim it, and at the same time, he sent out a public Red Packet.

Ding, Zhang Xuan has sent a Red Packet!

Zhang Sanfeng has claimed your Red Packet.

Ding, a Red Packet sent by Zhang Xuan!

Chen Nan has claimed your Red Packet.

In the Immortal Sword World, Zhang Sanfeng, who was still discussing the Dao with a group of people at Lin Family Fort, was suddenly stunned. Looking at the head-sized Flat Peach that appeared in his palm and feeling the rich Heaven and Earth Essence radiating from it, he immediately felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

Zhang Sanfeng: 【Little Friend Zhang Xuan is too polite; I can hardly accept this Flat Peach.】

Chen Nan: 【Big Boss 666, this Flat Peach is already comparable to a Fire Immortal Lotus. To give it away so casually, you are truly a Tier 4 big boss!】

Zhang Xuan: 【Small matter, small matter. I receive your Red Packets in the group every day, but I haven't sent one properly yet. It's a pity that my pockets are a bit empty now and I can't send many, so I can only send two.】

Zhang Xuan: 【@Zhang Sanfeng, I still have fresh memories of the Flat Peach that True Person gave me last time. Now that the Flat Peach I planted has matured, I thought I would take one for you to taste.】

"Hmm?"

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned, feeling a mix of surprise and astonishment; many emotions were blended together.

Zhang Sanfeng: 【I only gave you an ordinary Flat Peach; why return such a big gift?】

Although it was a rhetorical question, Zhang Sanfeng still felt quite a bit of joy in his heart.

Being respected by others at any time is a very comfortable feeling.

In the Yitian Tulong World, the Kunlun Flat Peach he gave to Zhang Xuan was the most precious Flat Peach he could obtain. Its spiritual energy was not very dense, and at most, it would only help people cultivate their Internal Energy a little faster. However, the Flat Peach that Zhang Xuan returned to him was rich in Essence, which was of no small help to him now.

Before coming to the Immortal Sword World, Zhang Sanfeng did not know the subtle differences, but after arriving in a more expansive world, he finally understood the subtle distinctions.

But at the same time, Zhang Sanfeng had a strange feeling in his heart. Thinking of Zhang Xuan's response and his previous words, he couldn't help but ask another question.

Zhang Sanfeng: 【Did you plant the peach pit left over from the Flat Peach I gave you? Is this the fruit borne by that Flat Peach?】

【But this is too fast, and the concentration of Essence is also far too high, this...】

Zhang Sanfeng was very surprised, but at the same time, he had a vague guess in his heart. Before Zhang Xuan could respond, he said.

Zhang Sanfeng: 【Is it the Chat Group's Plantation feature from before?】

Chen Nan: 【Plantation?】

Meng Qi who has returned to secular life: 【A special function of the Plantation?】

Seeing that several people were paying attention, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth.

This was the effect he wanted.

Zhang Xuan: 【That's right, the effect of the Plantation exceeded my expectations. After planting the Flat Peach, it grew and was ready for harvest in just ten days, and compared to before, it has improved significantly.】

Meng Qi's eyes lit up instantly. Originally, he hadn't paid much attention to the addition of the Plantation feature in the Chat Group.

But now, thinking back, he suddenly felt that he had missed out on too much.

"The Kunlun Flat Peach in the Yitian Tulong World, I have an impression of it. It isn't considered very special in the Martial Arts world. It was something Zhang Wuji got after falling off a cliff, performing surgery on that white ape in a cave in the Kunlun Mountains; the white ape had spirituality and picked it for him."

"If I remember correctly, it basically doesn't have many special functions, at most the fruit fragrance is richer, and it's a bit more generous than ordinary peaches."

"But now..."

Meng Qi looked at the Chat Group; even Chen Nan from the Shenmu World was praising the Flat Peach, and Zhang Sanfeng, who had gone to the Immortal Sword World, was also complimenting it.

Then the capabilities related to the Plantation were truly surprisingly powerful.
