Chapter 387: Planting Field

No wonder I was targeted by the Nascent Soul True Lord back in the Nan Ting Mountain Region; although Yan Buji doesn't know what happened afterward, I abandoned part of the flesh gate infused with Heaven Gate Law, which simply opened that aberrant zone.

The Green Mountain Gate sect master placed within the mountain gate a Void‑Escaping Gate for the disciples to cultivate...

Also the Nascent Soul True Lord who was scheming behind the scenes in Huang Du, plus the authentic‑lineage disciple who was beckoned to join some mission that was circulating in the Green Mountain Gate at that time...

It turned out they were all after the aberrant zone!

Or rather, they might know that within that aberrant zone in Huang Du, the Primordial Child exists!

This Primordial Child is the key to everything!

Yan Buji fell silent for a long while, then laughed, "I really didn't know about that."

"Is that so? I heard the Primordial Child can let people break through without limits, though I don't know if that's true or false," Xue Rou said.

"If such a treasure truly exists, it's not something we Golden Core cultivators can meddle with," Xue Qing laughed, then turned to Yan Buji: "Daoist Yan, since you don't know about this, and the Martial Dao path has been severed, unable to break through the Nascent Soul stage, what will you do from now on...."

"Hahaha." Yan Buji chuckled: "The world is vast; there is no road that cannot be walked. Even if the sages cut off the Martial Dao, the first warriors walked a path unknown to anyone, with no prospects. If we cultivators follow the rules, how can we contend with Heaven and Earth?"

The snowfolk looked at Yan Buji in surprise; they admired his mindset, but...

Who doesn't brag a little?

If the path cut off by the sages were so easy, and one could truly break through the Nascent Soul stage, why are Martial Dao cultivators so scarce today?

Now is the era of Magical Cultivation; Martial Cultivation is merely a sunken ship swallowed by the tide of the times, unable to sail further.

Nevertheless, the snowfolk wouldn't deliberately strike each other; after all, kicking someone when they're down brings no benefit.

Immediately, several snowfolk were assigned to reside within the city; being an outsider race, many Dragon People were quite curious about them.

Yan Buji assigned them guards, but they declined the trouble and strolled around the city, perhaps to gather information about the Dragon People.

Yet Yan Buji paid no mind to any of that.

After a few days.

Another group of snowfolk arrived bearing water‑essence seeds; Yan Buji greeted them with a smile and led them into the Boundless Abyssal Trench.

Wang Man looked at the snowfolk, eyeing them up and down with curiosity.

"Wang Man, do not be rude."

"Ah, my lord, forgive me; this is my first time seeing an outsider, I'm a bit curious. I am Wang Man, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Dragon People, pleased to meet you Daoist friends," Wang Man said with a smile.

Xue Qing and the others clasped their hands and said, "Nice to meet you, Daoist Wang... Is this the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace of the Dragon People? Truly distinctive."

"You flatter me, Wang Man. How is your preparation going?"

"Everyone, come this way. Within the Boundless Abyssal Trench flows the Lazy Current; please stay vigilant and do not let the Lazy Current erode you."

Xue Rou muttered, "So it is the Lazy Current, no wonder they immediately wish they could just find a spot to lie down."

"You might as well lie in the soil," a nearby snowfolk rolled their eyes.

"You're the one who's dead!"

"Enough!" Xue Qing laughed helplessly, cutting off the bickering: "Sorry, this is my first time in the Boundless Abyssal Trench; I hope I haven't embarrassed you."

"Hahaha, no problem." Yan Buji and Wang Man led them to the area near Soul Mountain outside the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace, where a vast herb field had been cultivated, fenced, and guarded day and night by numerous patrolling Dragon People soldiers:

"Everyone, see whether this herb field is sufficient; if not, I will arrange more people to continue clearing it until you are satisfied," Wang Man said with a smile.

"Although more is indeed better, that would trouble the Dragon People too much. For now, planting this patch is enough; let me demonstrate first."

A snowfolk took the seeds into the herb field, operating while saying, "Like this, stack a mound and press the seeds down..."

The snowfolk explained many points to note when planting water‑essence, and warned that the water‑essence attracts many demonic beasts, especially at maturity, so they hoped the guards would be strengthened.

Especially underwater, there are many sea‑worm‑type demonic beasts that like water‑essence seeds; although it's unknown whether such beasts exist in the Boundless Abyssal Trench, they were still cautioned to be careful.

The method for dealing with demonic insects was also conveyed to Wang Man, who spent a long time jotting it down on a jade tablet.

Yan Buji then led Xue Qing, Xue Rou and the others to tour the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace: "This is where our Dragon People once lived; now many dragons still reside here, since the cities outside are not yet fully built and unsuitable for large‑scale migration."

Xue Rou, upon seeing Yan Buji, was filled with terror and panic, quickly lowering her head to make way, daring not to glance at him again.

Xue Qing also noticed this, but said nothing further.

She only thought that Daoist Yan, being able to sit on the throne of the Dragon People, must be a capable individual.

"By the way, has the bloodline sealing spell of the Dragon People been lifted?" Xue Qing asked.

"Yes, otherwise it would be too dangerous for us to go out like this; it's all thanks to the achievements of our ancestors," Yan Buji said with a smile.

"That is truly impressive."

Although they had little direct contact with the Dragon People, they had heard of the origin of the bloodline sealing spell.

Yet they didn't expect that upon this meeting, the Dragon People had actually lifted the seal, and although they couldn't discern the details, they felt it wasn't that simple.

After all, this was a seal set by the sages; how could the Dragon People break it?

When they saw the nearby frolicking little dragons, Xue Qing's expression changed: "Do the Dragon People now have reproductive ability?"

"That is a consequence of lifting the bloodline seal, also unexpected," Yan Buji said with a smile.

He didn't want to elaborate; these snowfolk seemed to have some standing, perhaps not minor figures within the snowfolk race, otherwise they couldn't know so many major affairs.

So Yan Buji didn't wish them to form a huge prejudice against him, and frankly, these were internal matters of the Dragon People; since they kept asking all sorts of questions, he could simply choose not to answer.

After a while, Yan Buji asked those people to leave the Boundless Abyssal Trench, instructing Wang Man to guard the herb field well.

Immediately thereafter, the snowfolk took their leave, and Yan Buji considered his social duties done, planning to find time to visit the Shallow Dusk Snow Mountain for this year's Alliance Conference.

Speaking of the Alliance Conference, the Dragon People have few resources to contribute; the underwater tunnel is unfinished and unlikely to be completed this year, so Yan Buji intends only to gather information and then return to resume cultivation.

The rest...

Oh, by the way, condense the Earth‑origin Great Pill!
