The Master Of Spirit Plants

Chapter 169

“What is this?” Xu Muan asked.

“The Green Cloud Immortal Sect is recruiting people. This is the recruitment information I copied,” Xiao Jingting said.

Xu Muan was a little surprised as he asked, “Recruiting?”

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!” At his and Xu Muan’s age, they had long passed the age for recruiting disciples of Green Cloud Immortal Sect, so Xiao Jingting had to find another way to enter Green Cloud Immortal Sect. It just happened that the Green Cloud Immortal Sect was recruiting Spirit Planters, making Xiao Jingting immediately tempted.

Xu Muan nodded and said, “That’s it! Then you go try it.”

“That’s what I thought too.” Xiao Jingting said. It was common to see people killing to seize treasures in Cloud Continent, so if you wanted to be safe and sound, it was best to find a big power for shelter. However, big forces were not so easy to take refuge in, so the Green Cloud Immortal Sect recruiting Spiritual Planters definitely provided a good opportunity.

The next day. Xiao Jingting followed several spiritual planters to the test site. Xiao Jingting found that there were more than forty people who had applied. All these people were divided into four groups by lottery, and in Xiao Jingting’s group, except for him, there was only one Foundation Building cultivator while others were at the Qi Practice stage.

Shortly after Xiao Jingting and the others arrived at the designated place, a man dressed in black with a face like he had been burned by fire, came out.

“Hello, my surname is Qiu and you can call me Steward Qiu.” The man’s voice was coarse and unpleasant and his eyes carried an indescribable coldness. “Next, you will have to take a month-long test. After passing the test, you will be able to enter the Green Cloud Immortal Sect.”

The man distributed the task. Xiao Jingting saw that his task was taking care of the peach tree. As long as the peach fruits matured, he would be considered qualified to enter the sect.

“What bad luck! We have to deal with that guy.” The Foundation Building cultivator next to him looked at the task and said gloomily.

Xiao Jingting looked at the man in bewilderment and asked, “Brother, what do you mean by that?!”

“You don’t know him?” The male cultivator asked Xiao Jingting.

Xiao Jingting shook his head and said with some embarrassment. “I’m new here. I’m not very clear.”

Zhang Lu sighed and said, “Then, let me tell you something. This man, Qiu Yun, has a very eccentric temper and likes to eat jasper peaches the most. Five years ago, he accidentally saved a Golden Core cultivator from the Green Cloud Immortal Sect. In order to repay him, the Golden Core cultivator brought him into the sect and put him in charge of this Northern District Spiritual Medicine Garden.”

“Three years ago, the Green Cloud Immortal Sect also recruited a group of spiritual planters. At that time, four Foundation Building cultivators were assigned under Qiu Yun but all of them, without exception, lost the selection. In fact, in other medicine gardens, if Foundation Building cultivators like us participate in the selection, it is generally just going through the motions and we would not be dismissed,” Zhang Lu said.

Xiao Jingting rubbed his chin and said, “Does it mean that last time those individuals were also tasked with taking care of peach trees?”

Zhang Lu nodded and said, “Yes, it’s very difficult for Jasper peach tree to survive. The last time all these people failed and it’s said that Qiu Yun often spent a lot of money in exchange for Jasper Peaches. No one knows why he likes Jasper Peaches so much but some female cultivator once suspected that jasper peaches might have a beautifying effect and can restore destroyed appearance, so they bought them to eat as well.”

Xiao Jingting, “…”

…………

“You are back,” Xu Muan said.

After arriving at Cloud Continent, Xu Muan rented a cave not far from Green Cloud Immortal Sect. “How’s the situation?”

Xiao Jingting took out an identity plate and said, “Not good, not bad. This is a temporary identity plate and with it, I can temporarily enter and exit the Green Cloud Immortal Sect’s Spiritual Garden. However, the content of this examination seems to be a bit troublesome.”

“Troublesome?” Xu Muan said.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! I heard that the person who assesses the task is a freak who likes peaches very much. Moreover, this peach tree is not easy to grow, so the elimination rate will be very high.”

“I believe it won’t beat you easily.” Xu Muan said with a smile.

“I have to go and see the specific situation to know it. After I go, I am afraid I will not be able to come back for a while.” Xiao Jingting said.

Xu Muan nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of my sons. Just do your best for the test.”

“Alright.” Xiao Jingting nodded and said.

With the identity plate in hand, Xiao Jingting easily passed the gatekeeper’s inspection and entered the Medicine Garden.

The North Medicine garden was one of Green Cloud Immortal Sect’s medicine gardens. It covered a vast area and Xiao Jingting saw hundreds of Qi Practice cultivators working in the fields. The North Medicine garden was dense with spiritual qi. Many spiritual herbs that were precious and unusual in the Barbarian Continent grew everywhere here like weeds.

“Here you are.” Qiu Yun looked at Xiao Jingting coldly.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Greetings, Steward Qiu.”

Qiu Yun waved his hand and said with an impatient expression. “No need to be polite. If you have time, go and study the Peach Tree.”

Xiao Jingting, “…”

Xiao Jingting walked to the peach forest where the peach tree was located.

“Senior, are you the cultivator who came to take the test?” A dark-skinned man in the garden asked. He was a cultivator at eighth level of Qi Practice.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes.”

“My name is Wei Li, I help look after the peach garden.” The man smiled a little awkwardly as he spoke.

Xiao Jingting was a little surprised as he said, “You look after this peach garden?”

The man hurriedly shook his head and said, “No, no! I only occasionally help catch insects. Usually, it’s steward Qiu who takes care of them personally. Every peach tree in this peach garden was obtained by steward Qiu. You can only use these two peach trees. These two peach trees are the target of your examination.”

Xiao Jingting nodded and said “I understand.”

“I am a handyman in this medicine garden. If you have anything that needs my help, just call me.” Wei Li said somewhat nervously.

“Thank you.” Xiao Jingting threw a bottle of pills to Wei Li. After he took it, he thanked him again and again.
