He followed the formula taught by the Eldest Senior Sister and the method taught, how could it be two different magic spells when cast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This makes no sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll demonstrate it to you again.\" Yun Zhi is a very responsible teacher, her teaching level is quite average, but she is patient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zhi took out an hourglass, turned it upside down on the ground, and then held Lu Yang's shoulder, and the two performed spatial jumps together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and came to a strange space, with colorful streamers on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang subconsciously wanted to touch the streamers, but was stopped by Yun Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is a strange scene formed by spatial distortion. Let alone you, even a Nascent Soul cultivator will be stirred to pieces and soul-scattered if he touches it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scared Lu Yang to shrink his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stepped out of the space, only to see a white giant snake winding around the mountain, swallowing the sun and moon, refining the essence of heaven and earth, the snake pupils were agile, and the two happened to fall into the python's mouth, and entered the abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the gastric juice was about to drip, Yun Zhi stepped again and came to the strange space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Yun Zhi'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang had never seen or heard of such places; it was truly hard to imagine that such strange people and sights existed in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the two returned to the starting point, Lu Yang panting and still shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The places I just took you to are all within the borders of the Seeking Dao Sect. You can go there yourself when you have the chance in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seeking Dao Sect is too vast and wide; the areas outside the nine core mountain peaks were still unknown territory to Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try casting the spell again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Zhi felt that this time might be different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Yun Zhi's eager and expectant gaze, Lu Yang braced himself and cast the spell again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a day of practice, Lu Yang finally learned how to perceive the underground environment and how to avoid being stepped on after shrinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never succeeded in \"Shrinking Earth to an Inch\" once, but he succeeded in \"Shrinking Earth\" and \"to an Inch\" every single time, becoming more proficient with each attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, he didn't even need the incantation; he could cast the spell with a single thought, as if he had been immersed in this path for months or years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang's original intention in learning \"Shrinking Earth to an Inch\" was to use the spell for travel; now that he had learned the spell \"Shrinking Earth\" for travel, it could be considered consistent with his original intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the method was hard to describe, and the speed was a bit slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Lu Yang shrink and grow at will, drilling back and forth in the soil, having the time of his life, Yun Zhi asked casually: \"Little Junior Brother, I heard that it's very difficult for you to accept missions at the Mission Hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, most missions can only be completed by those at the Core Formation stage or above; there are very few missions suitable for me.\" Lu Yang was considering camping out at the Mission Hall for a few days to see if he could snag a suitable mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's quite a coincidence. A few days ago, I held a meeting with the Elders, and someone mentioned that there was a problem at the Herb Garden. A mission was posted at the Mission Hall, but no one took it. I think you are a suitable candidate; you might as well go to the Herb Garden and take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang knew that ever since his Master went into seclusion, the Senior Sister had been presiding over meetings in his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of mission?\" Lu Yang was puzzled. His specialties weren't prominent in the Seeking Dao Sect, so what kind of mission would be suitable for him, let alone one in the Herb Garden, about which he knew nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't even finished learning how to identify herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll know when you get there.\" Yun Zhi did not answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lu Yang's view, the Seeking Dao Sect itself was a small cultivation world. Without leaving the sect, one could find people to help with alchemy, artifact refining, array formation... Most of the time, it could be self-sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alchemy requires spiritual herbs, and the Seeking Dao Sect has a huge demand for alchemy; it couldn't always rely on external purchases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To solve the problem of spiritual herbs, the Seeking Dao Sect opened a large Herb Garden inside to grow herbs, and the Mission Hall also posted missions to help cultivate herbs in the garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating herbs requires professional knowledge. Lu Yang knew nothing about this; he hadn't even figured out what herbs and spiritual beasts he was eating every day, let alone being able to cultivate herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From far away from the Herb Garden, Lu Yang could smell the fragrance of the herbs. Unlike the fragrance from the Alchemy Peak, which had a probability of being poison, this was the purest medicinal fragrance. Mortals who smelled it for a long time would prolong their lives and remain free from illness and disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of the Herb Garden lay an old man, a palm-leaf fan covering his face, napping leisurely on a rocking chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa, may I ask if this is the Herb Garden?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man drooped his eyelids and glanced at Lu Yang: \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Yang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't ask what your name is, I asked for your identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sect Master's fourth disciple, Senior Sister Yun Zhi's little junior brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man didn't care much when he heard the first part—that old guy, the Sect Master, had been missing for ten years, who cared about him? He should just retire and not occupy the position all day, making Yun Zhi do all the work; it was unseemly. But when he heard the second part, he suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sect Master's disciple meant he was Yun Zhi's little junior brother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man jumped up, his body more agile than Lu Yang's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also normal; in the cultivation world, one cannot judge the other's agility and age by their appearance. When an old man and a child stand together, it's hard to tell who is the grandfather and who is the grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one in the cultivation world advocates respecting the old and loving the young, after all, it's possible that both the old man and the child can fight better than you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it was an introduction from Yun Zhi, you should have said so earlier.\" The old man hooked his arm around Lu Yang's shoulder, as close as brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're all from the Seeking Dao Sect, just call me Old Ba. I'm the one in charge of this little plot of land in the Herb Garden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang suspected that Old Man Ba was taking advantage of him, but he had no evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did Yun Zhi send you here for? Picking herbs? How many years old, one thousand or two thousand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Old Man Ba like this, Lu Yang inexplicably remembered the food the Senior Sister made for him. Could it be that they were all one- or two-thousand-year-old herbs picked from the Herb Garden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand-year-old medicinal herb is not a Chinese cabbage; they are relatively precious to the Seeking Dao Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no, the Senior Sister is quite thrifty; she wouldn't waste medicinal herbs on herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang asked politely: \"Senior Sister said that a mission was posted in the Herb Garden a few days ago, but no one took it. I wonder what kind of mission it is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Ba suddenly realized, so it was this mission: \"Do you know how to cultivate herbs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all.\" Lu Yang told the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll explain it to you simply. The steps to cultivate herbs are quite tedious. One step is loosening the soil, allowing the roots of the herbs to better absorb the spiritual energy in the soil and complete the interaction with the spiritual energy in the air.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Loosening the soil has always been done by a pair of Silver Ring Heavenly King Earthworm spouses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recently, they've had some problems at home, and no one is working, so I posted a mission to loosen the soil for the Herb Garden. This requires one of the Five Elements Dao techniques, the Earth Escape technique. There are quite a few little guys who know the Earth Escape technique, but they all think it's too much trouble and are unwilling to take it. It just so happens that Yun Zhi sent you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what I need to do is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Imitate an earthworm, drill into the soil, and loosen the soil for the Herb Garden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang suspected that the Senior Sister was playing with him, but he still had no evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1551,"2026-06-17T23:08:26.054Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","416aec38f38ffd652896ef2d0742f96889f2401c1f9e327b8a74d9e9cd04e3a1","who-let-him-cultivate-chapter-32","who-let-him-cultivate-chapter-30",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-told-him-to-cultivate-cover.jpg"]
