The Master Of Spirit Plants

Chapter 401

After the celebration, Xiao Jinting soon received a new mission.

“What is it?” Xiao Jinting asked.

“In order to stop the expansion of Sacred Sect, our sect has to join in the campaign. Unfortunately, you are chosen again,” Xu Muan said helplessly.

“Dongcheng Yang is a bastard.” Xiao Jinting thought, “He likes to give me difficult missions.”

Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “Are you going to take it?”

Xiao Jinting had been in seclusion for thirty years, in which the Sacred Sect disappeared and made a comeback.

The Sacred Sect established a base in Thousand Bones Ridge, which used to be an ancient battlefield where countless cultivators fought. The winning cultivators killed numerous captives cruelly, so there were piles of bones in Thousand Bones Ridge, which was dense with fog of bitterness.

Such a horrible place had become a stronghold of the Sacred Sect, which developed rapidly with the protection of it.

They learned that Sacred Sect was planning to attack Platanus Sect, which was not strong enough to protect itself. After receiving the news, Platanus Sect asked the righteous alliance for help, and the alliance assigned the task to the sects.

“I’ll take it.” Xiao Jinting thought he couldn’t flinch since he was a Nascent Soul. Besides, it was a good chance to test his strength.

“Show me the mission list,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xu Muan handed him the list. Xiao Jinting looked at the list with surprise in his eyes.

“Is there a problem?”

“I seem to remember this place,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xu Muan asked curiously, “You should have never been there before.”

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “Of course, I have never been there, but there used to be Heavenly Thunder Wood in the territory of Platanus Sect.”

“How do you know?” Xu Muan asked.

“Did you forget that I have Xie Wanran’s memory?”

Xie Wanran had the memory of a powerful reincarnated cultivator, who advanced to the upper world from where they were. That woman had quite some memories of this world. Xiao Jinting thought he might make a fortune if he went to the places in Xie Wanran’s memory.

“Heavenly Thunder Wood used to grow in Platanus Sect, so perhaps there are some remnants of it,” Xu Muan immediately said.

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I think they’ve been taken away if there is any.” There were many people with sharp eyes in the world. Tens of thousands of years had passed. If there was Heavenly Thunder Wood, other people must have taken it away long ago.

Xu Muan smiled bitterly and said, “I’m growing greedy over the years.”

Xiao Jinting hugged Xu Muan and said calmly, “It’s normal. I want to have the treasures I behold.”

“You are not the only one taking on this mission. There are other people,” Xu Muan said.

Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Muan and said, “Do you know who they are?”

Xu Muan shook his head and said, “I have no idea, but I’m certain that they are both Nascent Souls.”

Xiao Jinting said, “It’s good that they are Nascent Souls, who would not drag me down.”

Although Xiao Jinting felt that he was stronger than ordinary preliminary Nascent Souls, he didn’t think he could rival experienced Nascent Souls. It was a big world, which was never short of strange things. A Nascent Soul normally would have experienced weird things and should have special skills to survive.

Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan rushed to Platanus Ridge.

When they arrived, they saw the two Nascent Souls who were assigned the same mission. One was a monk, reciting scriptures, and the other was a Taoist nun, holding a horsetail whisk and closing her eyes.

Xiao Jinting’s heart sank when he saw their solemn expressions.

Xiao Jinting couldn’t help secretly cursing Dongcheng Yang, who didn’t tell him he would work with a monk and a nun, who were experienced by lonesome masters. He took Xu Muan with him, and they might have offended these two masters.

When Xiao Jinting arrived, the two cultivators glanced at him and looked away.

Xiao Jinting had a bad feeling. He noticed the monk and the nun in the hall looked at him with hostility. It seemed he was their rival instead of companion. He got suspicious, wondering what he had missed.

“Are you Mr. Xiao from Green Cloud Immortal Sect?” A man in grey robe came out and greeted.

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes.”

“I heard that you advanced to Nascent Soul under the age of one hundred. I envy you.” The gray-robed man said.

“Immortal Platanus, you are flattering me,” Xiao Jinting said lightly.

Immortal Platanus was a preliminary Nascent Soul, and he was very friendly to Xiao Jinting.

He said enthusiastically, “Mr. Xiao, let me introduce you. This is Master Heavenly Lantern from Great Buddha Temple.”

“Nice to meet you, Master Heavenly Lantern.”

The monk in a cassock lazily opened his eyes and nodded at Xiao Jinting.

“This is Hermit Emei from Snow Mountain Sect.”

“Nice to meet you, Hermit Emei.” Xiao Jinting cupped his hands together.

The nun glanced at Xiao Jinting with displeasure and said, “The head of the alliance doesn’t know what he is doing. Why did he send a preliminary Nascent Soul over? Sacred Sect is ferocious and aggressive, and you are useless as a new Nascent Soul.”

Xiao Jinting felt embarrassed. There was a huge gap between the preliminary and the advanced level in the stage of Nascent Soul. It should be easy for an advanced Nascent Soul to kill a preliminary one.

Xiao Jinting thought to himself, “This old nun is rude. Both Immortal Platanus and I are preliminary Nascent Souls. When she slights me, she insults Platanus as well.”

Xu Muan pressed his lips together, feeling annoyed, but he didn’t show it because he had experienced similar situations before.

Immortal Platanus smiled awkwardly and said, “Mr. Xiao will make his contribution. Please take a seat.”

Xiao Jinting nodded and sat on the side.
