Chapter 1795: Trouble

“Let’s not talk about that anymore,”

Old Yan snapped out of his stupor and said with a smile, “When I have time, I’ll bring that son of mine over for you to take a look. He really looks like me, heh!”

“Sure thing,”

Su Zimo replied with a smile as well.

Old Yan said, “Let’s talk about something serious. You’ve offended that fatty and he’ll definitely cause trouble for you in the future. You’ve got to be careful.”

“However, don’t worry. The people of Snow Wind Ridge can’t kill one another casually. At most, he’ll just look for trouble with you and scold you. Just endure it. There’s no need to stoop to his level.”

Su Zimo smiled without replying.

Old Yan took out two jade scrolls from his storage bag and placed them on his glabella for a moment before handing them to Su Zimo. “These are two lesser immortal arts of the upper world, Cloud Rain Technique and Flora Art. Put them away and comprehend them as soon as possible so that you can prepare in advance.”

Su Zimo received the two jade scrolls and scanned them with his spirit consciousness.

There were indeed two cultivation techniques in the jade scroll. Given Su Zimo’s experience, he already had a rough idea of them after a single glance.

The Cloud Rain Technique was actually a technique to create clouds and rain to irrigate the spirit field.

The Flora Art was even simpler. It was used to remove the weeds in the spirit field before using the essence of the weeds to nourish the two immortal herbs, speeding up their ripening.

“Although the Cloud Rain Technique and Flora Art are immortal arts of the upper world, they have many similarities with Dharmic arts of the lower worlds,”

Old Yan said, “It’s not difficult for us to cultivate these two immortal arts. Back then, I only cultivated for a year and I managed to cultivate both immortal arts.”

Su Zimo nodded.

The two immortal arts were extremely superficial and he had already comprehended most of them during their short conversation.

“Actually, there’s nothing much about farming 13 Mu of spirit fields,”

Old Yan said, “To put it simply, the process of sowing seeds is nothing more than watering, weeding and taking care of them while waiting for them to ripen.”

“How long does it take for two immortal herbs to ripen?”

Su Zimo asked.

Old Yan let out a long breath. “A hundred years.”

“What?!”

Su Zimo was shocked.

The two immortal herbs took a hundred years to ripen. In other words, the spirit herbs required to condense elixirs also required a hundred years of waiting!

In the upper world, the cultivation time required was easily a thousand years.

It was common for some Exalted Immortals to be in seclusion for tens of thousands of years.

Old Yan smiled bitterly. “There’s nothing we can do about it. The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in the Dragon Abyss Star is thin and the immortal herbs grow at an extremely slow speed. I heard that under the jurisdiction of Green Cloud County, immortal herbs will ripen much faster in places with rich Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.”

Su Zimo was silent.

It was no wonder why Old Yan was still at Grade 1 Black Immortal after ascending for 10,000 years.

Most of the others were also at Grade 1 or 2.

The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi of the Dragon Abyss Star was rare to begin with. Coupled with the fact that immortal herbs grew slowly and cultivation resources were scarce, there was naturally no way for one’s cultivation speed to increase.

Old Yan thought for a moment and continued, “Of course, we have to be careful when the immortal herbs are about to ripen. Don’t let any random living beings or bandits steal it away.”

“Random living beings?”

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

Old Yan said, “Most of the people on the Dragon Abyss Star are humans. Of course, there are also a few other living beings that ascended. However, they are few and insignificant. There’s no need to worry.”

“There will be guards patrolling Snow Wind Ridge day and night. If any intruders are discovered, all you have to do is shout. Given the strength of Snow Wind Ridge, we can easily chase away some weak bandits.”

“I’ve been out for a while. I’ve got to go back and look after my spirit field,”

Old Yan pointed to the east. “My place isn’t far from yours. If you have any doubts, look for me there.”

“Alright,”

Su Zimo nodded.

After sending Old Yan off, Su Zimo turned and entered the room. He sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed with many questions in his mind.

Pondering for a moment, he took out the Bronze Square Tripod from his storage bag and observed it carefully.

Now that he arrived at Snow Wind Ridge of the Dragon Abyss Star, he was settled down temporarily. He could not help but recall his experience in the black hole.

The Bronze Square Tripod had already recovered one of its walls after devouring the weapon of an expert.

The inner wall of the tripod was etched with the Prajna Nirvana Sutra.

On the outer wall, there was a lifelike divine dragon etched on it. It was green all over and coiled with its head raised, baring its sharp fangs and claws.

However, the divine dragon’s eyes were closed and it looked less lively.

He did not know how he escaped from the black hole.

However, before he escaped, he seemed to have heard a loud and clear dragon roar!

“Could it be related to the divine dragon on the Bronze Square Tripod?”

Su Zimo murmured softly.

After pondering for a long time, he still found nothing.

Su Zimo tried to summon the Martial Dao Prime Body in his heart.

He could vaguely sense the existence of the Martial Dao Prime Body. However, the latter did not reply. There was a high chance that he was refining the Dragon Phoenix True Body and had no time to be distracted.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Su Zimo put away the Bronze Square Tripod and began to cultivate.

He had to sense the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in the surroundings as soon as possible and recover his cultivation realm!

Once his cultivation realm was restored to that of a Grade 4 Black Immortal, he would at least be able to protect himself in Snow Wind Ridge.

Before long, night descended.

In the spirit field, the sound of frogs and crickets chirping could be heard from time to time, making the long night seem even quieter.

In the morning, Su Zimo let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

Two resplendent divine lights burst forth from his eyes before vanishing rapidly.

Level 2 Black Essence realm!

In just a single night, Su Zimo’s cultivation had already recovered to a Grade 2 Black Immortal!

At this speed, it would not take long for him to recover to a Grade 4 Black Immortal.

Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo closed his eyes and continued absorbing and refining the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

Right then, his ears twitched and he heard footsteps.

The footsteps were rather heavy and headed straight for his straw hut. It was clearly different from Old Yan’s footsteps yesterday.

Su Zimo frowned.

Bang!

There was a loud bang!

The door was kicked open violently and a round-faced fatty stood at the entrance, almost blocking the entire room. He glanced askance at Su Zimo with an unfriendly expression—it was Duan Tianliang.

Just after a single night, Duan Tianliang could not hold it in any longer.

“Hey, country bumpkin!”

Duan Tianliang raised his head slightly and hollered, “Don’t pretend to be dead there. Get up and hurry and plant the immortal herbs in the 13 Mu of spirit fields!”

“These are seeds of the two immortal herbs. Hurry and go! Don’t dawdle!”

As he said that, Duan Tianliang threw a storage bag on the ground.

Su Zimo opened his eyes slowly and looked at Duan Tianliang quietly. His eyes were deep and bright but he did not say anything.

For some reason, Duan Tianliang felt chills run down his spine when he was stared at by those eyes!

It was as though he was not facing someone who had just ascended, but an extremely terrifying and powerful existence; a terrifying beast that devoured humans!

Duan Tianliang closed his eyes and shook his head, as though he wanted to purge the illusion.

Actually, this was not Duan Tianliang’s imagination.

Right now, Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit was not only the Green Lotus Essence Spirit, but also the Dragon Phoenix Essence Spirit!

It was indeed a terrifying taboo living being!

Even if it was powerful living beings of other races, they would feel their hearts skip a beat against Su Zimo’s gaze, let alone Duan Tianliang!
