Chapter 290

An Xianjing says: "In this year or more, you have made rapid progress, and your cultivation is not low now."

Li Li Youyi tries hard to see through her cultivation realm, but it is in vain, his heart unable to be calm: "With your cultivation, you actually prepared to kill me, a Five Seas Realm martial cultivator, to make money?"

An Xianjing has no powerhouse momentum, nor is she cold and sharp, her smile is gentle, and her affinity is full: "Your appearance entered the 'World's Living Beings Picture,' but there was no cause and effect, no past or future; I was very curious at the time, so I went to see you specifically. If you were a threat to the rice people, I would definitely have killed you at the time."

Li Li Youyi gasps, lingering fear.

Fortunately, seeing that group of children pitiful, he treated them to noodles, otherwise how could he live safely until now?

At that time, the strength the protective wife could exert was still very low.

The woman in white laughs: "You don't have to be so nervous! I am a person who practices Buddhism, a compassionate person; I return compassion to him. For those who do evil, I grant them rebirth."

"Whether it is compassionate or not, isn't it all said by the strong?"

Li Li Youyi squeezes out a stiff smile and says again: "Your cultivation should be very simple, right? What is the 'World's Living Beings Picture'?"

An Xianjing has no intention of telling Li Li Youyi the mystery, saying lightly: "You can just treat it as a magic weapon that can capture heavenly secrets!"

"Are you here to see the South Venerable?" Li Li Youyi says.

"I've already seen her! She shouldn't be in the South Clear Palace recently, she has important matters to deal with."

An Xianjing says: "Li Li Youyi, how do you see the rice people?"

Li Li Youyi knows she is not easy to provoke; everyone could smile and eat noodles at a table in the previous moment, and in the next moment, they might take action to kill.

Unpredictable is the most terrifying.

Li Li Youyi answers truthfully: "I know very little information about the rice people, I'm afraid I can't answer such a broad question with narrow perceptions."

An Xianjing asks: "What kind of rice people do you know?"

"Must I answer?" Li Li Youyi says.

An Xianjing says: "If you don't answer, you might die. Amitabha!"

"Don't threaten me!"

Li Li Youyi really wants to test her weight; pretending to be mysterious doesn't necessarily mean having real talent and learning.

"If you want to take action, just take action! It's not too late to answer after fighting. Amitabha!" An Xianjing blinks, issuing an encouraging invitation to him.

Li Li Youyi says: "Really confident! Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies?"

"Is there a difference?"

Li Li Youyi says: "The truth is hard to hear, I'm afraid it will make you unhappy. I can also say flattering words, after all, I am at the main altar of the Rice Sect."

"Then tell me the truth!" An Xianjing says.

Li Li Youyi doesn't dislike this woman in white very much; at least she doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he says: "The information I know about the rice people is mostly told by others. In this, it is divided into two types."

"One type, rice people are the vulnerable group in this world, grown from planting, without parents, relatives, not accepted by the mainstream, sold, cultivated into dead soldiers, slaves, and even raised as livestock."

"The other type... calls the Twin Rice Sect an evil sect, acting extremely, hating humans, being the provoker of many contradictions, wanting to turn the entire Lingxiao Life Realm into rice fields."

An Xianjing asks: "Is there a difference between rice people and humans?"

"It seems there is no difference... but I don't know much, I haven't had much in-depth contact. Why do you ask me?" Li Li Youyi says.

An Xianjing says: "Since everyone is no different, why do humans enslave rice people? They plant rice people to grow up, like the parents of rice people, but without a trace of love; we don't ask for love, we only ask for dignity, ask for fairness, is it wrong? As for what you said, wanting to turn the entire Lingxiao Life Realm into rice fields, it is even more nonsense; when have we ever had such a big ambition?"

Li Li Youyi says: "Look, this makes you unhappy, I should have known not to tell the truth!"

An Xianjing recites a Buddha name: "Amitabha!"

"Having emotions is normal. I have always believed that opposition in stance exists at any time and in any place. But once it falls into paranoia and extremism, it must also be a wrong path."

Li Li Youyi thinks of the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, so he says: "Everyone is born free and equal in dignity and rights. If rice people are really exactly the same as humans... forget it, I feel it's useless to say it..."

An Xianjing says: "Then you'd better not say it! I feel that you are just a child who hasn't grown up yet, completely an idealist. Where is there any freedom and equality in this world? Even if there is, it must be fought for with powerful cultivation."

Li Li Youyi is eager to do so, not wanting to discuss such profound problems with her: "Your appearance seems to have changed from before?"

An Xianjing's emotions completely calm down: "I practice the 'Formless and Faceless Buddha Canon,' and my appearance changes every day, changing with my mood and heart. Only when I reach the transcendent realm will it stabilize, my heart like a flat lake, recovering as one."

"You aren't trying to scare me, are you? The disguise technique is described by you so mysteriously?"

Li Li Youyi cannot suppress the curiosity in his heart, not wanting to be scared by the mysteriousness the other party pretended to have.

"Swish!"

Rushing out like lightning, he strikes with a palm.

The palm wind scrapes the surrounding grass and trees to sway, and the lake surface raises waves.

An Xianjing moves her figure two feet horizontally, dodging: "You can go all out, no need to hold back."

This woman in white before his eyes has a very immature temperament, turning her face as fast as turning a book, and under the disguise technique, there might be a very young face.

Since it is a figure of the younger generation, why fear her?

Li Li Youyi is provoked to have a competitive heart, changing his palm to a finger, operating his magic power with all his strength, and pointing out dozens of finger shadows within one breath.

But they are all blocked by the palm prints she formed; she is like a thousand-handed Guanyin, standing in place, her eyes staring at Li Li Youyi all the time.

Li Li Youyi retracts his finger and retreats, his expression solemn: "So powerful! What is your cultivation realm?"

An Xianjing laughs: "I have always been interested in your Compassionate Opening Finger, feeling that it has Buddha essence. How about you try it on me?"

"Forget it! Your cultivation is profound, I can't afford to provoke you."

Li Li Youyi waves his sleeve and turns to leave: "But I can afford to hide."

"You can't hide!"

An Xianjing grabs his arm, her figure flashes, and the next moment she crashes into an array inside the South Clear Palace.

Li Li Youyi lands on his feet, trying hard to suppress the suspicion in his heart, looks back at the array light curtain still vibrating behind him.

This array is the most powerful one in the South Clear Palace, which Li Li Youyi couldn't see through even using the Heavenly Eye.

But she crashed directly into it.

Li Li Youyi asks: "May I ask the donor's name?"

"An Xianjing!" she says.

"Boom!"

Li Li Youyi's head is about to explode, and then he thinks of the Hall Master of the Spirit Valley Hall, who also seems to be surnamed An, so he probes: "The An Bodhisattva of the Coffin Mountain? Hall Master of the Spirit Valley Hall?"

Inside the array is a mu of paddy field.

In the field is three-colored spiritual soil.

The water is blood water one inch deep.

In the field, only one rice plant three feet high is planted.

It looks like it is cast from gold, the leaves are sharp like swords, the whole body emits dazzling golden radiance, and the life energy is strong, looking extremely extraordinary.

An Xianjing puts one hand behind her back, walks on the ridge of the field, her gaze staring at the golden rice: "In your heart, An Bodhisattva and the Hall Master of the Spirit Valley Hall are not good people, right?"

Li Li Youyi thinks of Yao Yao Qingxuan's reminder before, so he changes his face: "How is that possible? Since we parted in Jiuli City, I still remember An girl's charming smile, very gentle, really a Bodhisattva descending to earth."

An Xianjing's brows wrinkle, she glares at him, then says: "When I saw you in Jiuli City, I didn't put you in my eyes. But at the Qianlong Lantern Festival, you returned to my field of vision; your cultivation speed is too fast, walking the road others can't finish in ten years in one year."

Li Li Youyi hurriedly says: "Senior An, I really don't have any special opinions about rice people, I haven't had much contact with you, I am not a threat. And, my ancestral field... hey, it's hard to say, why does everyone want to target me?"

"You killed quite a few people in the Divine Sect, right? At the Qianlong Lantern Festival, a batch of Five Seas Realm experts were killed by you." An Xianjing says.

Li Li Youyi says: "I didn't know they were people of the Divine Sect."

"Did you kill Wang Zhi and Wang Wang Shouxin?"

Li Li Youyi says: "..."

"Did you kill Zuo Shi?"

Li Li Youyi says: "I was protecting myself."

An Xianjing says: "I won't kill you, you treated me to noodles, and we have no grudges. But, if I throw you out of the South Clear Palace, how many people do you think want to take revenge on you?"

Li Li Youyi is not scared by her, his mind turning a hundred times: "Does Hall Master An mean that you, old lady, intend to protect me?"

"I didn't say that, but if you are useful to me, you can be used." An Xianjing says.

Li Li Youyi says: "May I ask how Hall Master An plans to use me?"

An Xianjing's gaze falls back to the golden rice in the center of the blood field: "About two years ago, the Rice Ancestor found four ancient golden Dao seeds from the Pogaluo Sect period in the Saint Heart Layer of the underground immortal mansion, and handed them to the three Hall Masters and one Vice Hall Master to plant."

"The Rice Ancestor believes that these four rice seeds can grow infants with extremely high talent."

"Whoever can successfully plant them can observe the supreme canon of the Divine Sect, the 'Ji Emperor Hunyuan Sutra,' and obtain the opportunity to impact the transcendent."

"For two years, the South Venerable and I have taken turns using our Longevity blood to irrigate and cultivate with Longevity magic power, but it only allowed the rice to take root and sprout, growing into a seedling. After growing to three feet high, it wouldn't grow anymore!"

Li Li Youyi says: "Why not look for the blood of the transcendent? The melee ten months ago was earth-shattering, several transcendents fell, and even more transcendents spilled blood on the Lingxiao land; how could you not find some?"

I don't know what offended her, but An Xianjing's tone is slightly cold: "In your eyes, Ren rice is a monster that sucks blood, right?"

"I didn't say that."

Li Li Youyi is very helpless, feeling she is too sensitive.

An Xianjing says: "The vast majority of Ren rice only needs to borrow the water of the blood sea, or the water of the blood river underground, to grow up."

"Using the skeletons of human martial cultivators as rice fertilizer is just a means of revenge and deterrence against enemies. Although, I don't like this method."

"Once human blood is used to interfere with the growth of Ren rice, the infants that grow up will definitely carry the characteristics of the blood donor in appearance and personality, representing a kind of inheritance."

Li Li Youyi says: "Like parents and children?"

"Almost." An Xianjing says.

Li Li Youyi nods and says: "This is indeed a headache, the cause and effect are complex."

An Xianjing says: "If transcendent blood could be used to cultivate it, why wouldn't the Rice Ancestor cultivate it directly? Instead of handing it to us?"

"Golden Valley Seed, it must be an extremely powerful seed, which can raise infants with high talent. Therefore, using the blood and magic power of people with high enough talent to nourish it, perhaps it can continue to grow. Your trace veins are all gold, your physique and bloodline are definitely not ordinary."

Li Li Youyi is stunned: "Hall Master An wants me to help you raise golden rice?"

An Xianjing cuts her wrist, spilling blood into the field. Immediately, blood gas spreads, making the entire water field permeate with a layer of blood mist.

"You offended the Divine Sect and are watched by many people; if I don't find you, you will be found by others. Brother Zuoqiu Zuoqiu Cangwu is thinking about you, let alone others?"

"You help me raise rice, I protect your life."

"Of course, the premise is that your blood is really useful to it. I'm just holding a wait-and-see attitude!"
