Chapter 873: Chapter 420: Supplemental Update in Progress..._2

"I suspect you’re trying to provoke me... but I’ll take the bait, just you wait."

Celestial Lang immediately stood up and left the cave mansion.

Celestial Concealment smiled helplessly as he watched.

This Sixth Uncle sure has his charming moments.

Soon after, Celestial Concealment cleared a plot of land outside the cave mansion, intending to plant some basic mystical seeds first.

Not long after, the Sixth Uncle not only brought the books Celestial Concealment needed but also a lot of seeds of mystical plants.

"I’ve bought you the seeds, whatever you do, stay close to the cave mansion." After saying this, Celestial Lang glanced at the already overturned land next to the cave mansion and chuckled, "Hahaha, kid, you really dare to think and do. This isn’t a Spirit Field, planting mystical seeds here will take years to grow."

"I know." Celestial Concealment responded.

What he lacks the least is time, and he wasn’t expecting the mystical seeds to sprout immediately anyway, he was merely collecting them.

After saying this, Celestial Lang picked up his fishing rod and headed towards the pond, "Alright, you go on with your business, don’t forget to cultivate, and... don’t forget to set up the pot, we might be able to have Spirit Fish tonight!"

Celestial Concealment didn’t reply, he just smiled without saying a word. Grabbing a chair, he began to browse through the books his Sixth Uncle had gotten for him outside the cave mansion.

There were six books in total.

Five were records of mystical plants, named — The Record of Ten Thousand Treasures. They documented 107,622 kinds of mystical plants in the Celestial Net State.

The other one was "Cultivation and Nurture of Mystical Plants". It contained methods to plant and nurture more than a thousand kinds of mystical plants.

"I wonder if I can use the system to identify the names of the seeds, that would save me from having to compare each to The Record of Ten Thousand Treasures."

Surprisingly, it worked when he tried.

[Yellow Spirit Bamboo Seed · Inferior (Can be used for refining Magical Artifact at the Qi Refining Stage after ten years, refining Foundation Establishment Stage Magical Artifacts after a hundred years, and can be used as fuel for Alchemy after a thousand years, greatly increasing the chance and quality of pill formation...)]

[Shallow Moon Grass Seed · Inferior (Can be included in pills after ten years, providing good healing effects effective for Qi Refining Stage; after a hundred years, can be included in pills as well as consumed raw to quickly restore all injuries of the Qi Refining Stage...)]

[Prime Without Fruit Seed · Superior...]

...

Celestial Concealment was delighted, realizing he could see much more precise effects than those in The Record of Ten Thousand Treasures.

Celestial Concealment hurriedly asked, "What do superior and inferior mean?"

[They represent the quality of the seeds, the higher the quality, the better the quality and effect of the grown mystical plants.]

"I see, I’ll try planting the Shallow Moon Grass first." Celestial Concealment hurriedly checked the "Cultivation and Nurture of Mystical Plants", finding the method for planting Shallow Moon Grass within it.

It was simple.

In the seven days after planting, water it every quarter-hour during the day, one ladle per session, and it must be Spirit Water.

Determined to act, Celestial Concealment used a small hoe to dig a hole, threw the Shallow Moon Grass seed inside. Then he fetched a bucket of water, crushed a Low-grade Spirit Stone into it, then scooped a ladle to water the planted seed.

At that moment, the cultivators passing by Celestial Concealment’s cave mansion couldn’t help but be astonished at what they saw.

The Celestial Family’s Celestial Soul had already been defeated miserably, the Chen Family’s strongest Qi Cultivation Great Perfection cultivator had declared he would kill you personally, yet you have the leisure to plant seeds?

"Is he mad?" someone muttered softly, glancing at a nearby friend.

The friend was equally puzzled, "Could he have been scared silly?"

Yet, as these scenes continued for the next few days, seen by anyone passing by Celestial Concealment’s cave mansion, they were even more bewildered.

Thus the news spread quickly, leading to more and more people passing by Celestial Concealment’s cave mansion just to see if he was really planting crops.

Meanwhile, atop Mingjian Peak, the Celestial Family’s three Qi Cultivation Great Perfection cultivators stood respectfully before an elder with white hair.

The white-haired elder had only achieved Qi Cultivation Great Perfection himself, but the Daoist Robe he wore was different from the one Celestial Soul and the others wore, leaving a faint red glow in its wake as he moved, demonstrating its uniqueness.

Hence, while Celestial Soul and the others appeared to respect the elder, they were practically respecting the extraordinary black and gold Daoist Robe he wore.

"Elder Yang, although Celestial Concealment began his cultivation late, he indeed has an Earth Spirit Root. If you’re willing, he could become your disciple." Celestial Soul spoke, his complexion worse than it had been a few days earlier, his lips noticeably pale.

Clearly, his injuries were serious.

The elder remained unmoved, "Celestial Soul, you’ve been with the sect long enough. You should know that Outer Elders cannot intervene in disputes between cultivation clans."

"I understand, I naturally wouldn’t ask you to get involved. But you have indeed lacked a good disciple in recent years. This Celestial Concealment is just perfect!" Celestial Soul continued.

The elder finally smiled, "Very well, I’ll take the kid as my disciple. I’ll talk to Chen Chengzhi, he would not refuse my request even if he’s arrogant!"

Celestial Soul forced a smile, responding, "Of course, of course."

Quickly, the elder laughed heartily and left.

But Celestial Soul and the others remained motionless for a long time.

Eventually, a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection cultivator of the Celestial Family spoke slowly, "Godfather, having Celestial Concealment, an Earth Spirit Root, become the disciple of an ancient relic stuck at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection for a lifetime seems too good for him."

Celestial Soul responded, "What choice do I have? I’ve received word that Tianxiu won’t return anytime soon. And I’m heavily injured, with only half my strength remaining, unable to stop Chen Chengzhi, so I must rely on others."

After his words, a long silence ensued among the three.

As night fell.

Elder Yang appeared at Xianyue Peak, near Chen Chengzhi’s cave mansion.

"Where is Younger Brother Chen?" As soon as he landed, Elder Yang struck a pose befitting an elder, waiting for Chen Chengzhi to appear.

Within moments, Chen Chengzhi, looking middle-aged, strolled out from the cave mansion with a smile in his eyes, walking towards Elder Yang.

"Elder Yang, what a rare guest, I didn’t expect you to have free time to visit my cave mansion."

Elder Yang replied hastily, "I wouldn’t come without a purpose. I recently noticed a child with extraordinary talent, and was stirred with the idea of accepting a closed-door disciple. Younger Brother Chen, you know, it’s been a regret of this old man not to have a satisfactory disciple all these years."

"Oh, who might it be, to have the fortune of catching your Dharma Eye?" Chen Chengzhi’s face showed unexpected anticipation.

He genuinely seemed eager to know who it was.

However, Elder Yang’s next words wiped the smile from his face, replacing it with cold indifference.

"It’s that kid Celestial Concealment!"

With those words, Chen Chengzhi stood coldly and silent.

Elder Yang hurriedly continued, "Younger Brother Chen, grant this old man a favor, and in the future, should there be any good opportunities in the Outer Sects, I will think of your Chen Family first."

Yet, Chen Chengzhi still didn’t speak.

He merely looked at Elder Yang coldly.

One breath.

Two breaths.

At the fifth breath, Chen Chengzhi spoke, "Elder Yang, take care, I have matters to attend to, I won’t be seeing you off."

After saying this, Chen Chengzhi turned to leave.

"Chen Chengzhi, are you sure?" Elder Yang’s tone turned displeased, as he truly did not want to miss that kid Celestial Concealment.

A future Foundation Establishment cultivator, if accepted, would bring honor to the sect and not live life in vain!

Suddenly, Chen Chengzhi halted his steps, then spun around abruptly, uttering a light chuckle, coldly saying, "Elder Yang, without that robe, you’d not even deserve to sit as an equal... don’t take yourself too seriously!"

"I’m determined to kill Celestial Concealment, Celestial Soul can’t stop me, neither can you! Don’t fear telling you this: when he undertakes a sect mission and departs, that’ll be the day I make my move. If you dare, go ahead and accompany him."

After saying this, Chen Chengzhi returned to his cave mansion without looking back, leaving Elder Yang trembling with anger alone, the wrinkles on his face quivering.

...

Five days later.
