Cheng Ling looked at the scene in the backyard with satisfaction, then took out the selected herbs from the storage ring, and said: "Xiaoyue, you are indeed worthy of being a member of the Mingling Fox clan. The layout here is good, so why not move these herbs together?" Fall in!"
Hu Yue nodded obediently, took the herbs he handed over, and got busy.
This time, Cheng Ling did not leave immediately, but watched from the sidelines. Hu Yue's identity is somewhat sensitive and cannot be discovered by others. He couldn't always ask the little girl to help transplant the herbs. It was better to ask for help from others than to ask for help from others. It would be more convenient for him to learn how to do it himself.
Hu Yue paid no attention to his thoughts at all. After getting the herbs, he moved quickly in the medicine garden. He operated as fiercely as a tiger. In less than one stick of incense, all the herbs Cheng Ling gave him were transplanted without any feeling. A trace of incongruity.
Cheng Ling was completely speechless, how could he steal this lesson? Helplessly, she asked: "Xiaoyue, how do you coordinate these herbs together? Do you have any tips?"
Hu Yue explained: "It's very simple. Herbal medicines also have the five elements, yin and yang and other attributes. As long as they follow their growth characteristics, and the spiritual grass and spiritual plants feed each other back, the growth can be greatly promoted."
"Master, all the herbs have been transplanted. There are still ten bottles of Sanhua Qingye wine here. As long as some are poured into the field every day, the growth of the herbs will be accelerated. Can I go back now?"
Cheng Ling didn't understand, but seeing Hu Yue's aggrieved expression, he took it back into his body with a wave of his hand. Since the little girl is unwilling, she will look at it a few more times in the future and she will always find clues.
Wen Lan went out to inquire about the news and before he could get back the news, he continued to deduce the formation. These herbs in the backyard were treasures and could not be discovered easily, so he decided to set up a magic array and a shielding array.
Immediately sit down cross-legged and carefully deduce the node position. Time passed slowly, and two days passed quickly. Just as all the nodes of the magic array were deduced, Wen Lan came back.
Cheng Ling walked out of the entrance hall and the two met in the front hall.
Wen Lan handed him another storage ring and said, "Brother Xian, these are the herbs and ores we just collected."
Cheng Ling took it and said, "Brother Wen Lan, have you found any traces of Zhang Chu? Is he still on Island No. 1?"
"Fortunately, he has lived up to his fate! He is on the island. City Lord Qi has given him the same treatment as us. He currently lives diagonally opposite the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Okay! Brother Wenlan, from today on, you no longer need to sell elixirs, just concentrate on practicing! I still have some immortal elixirs here, which should be enough for you to ascend to the peak of human immortality. As for the subsequent elixirs, I will wait for you As the grade improves, we will naturally be able to provide it again!”
Wen Lan took the elixir and said worriedly: "Brother Xian, if you really plan to conceal the identity of the elixir master, how should you explain it to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Don't worry! Even if we leave the city, our cultivation speed will not slow down with the help of the elixir. The reason will naturally be known in the future. For now, we should do our best to improve our cultivation before the half-year period is up!"
Wen Lan sighed. This was his second advice, but Cheng Ling had been keeping it secret. Seeing how confident the other party was, it should be okay! He said no more and went back to his residence to practice!
Cheng Ling left the mansion immediately after he left. The matter is imminent. Wen Lan's two trading volumes are enough to attract Dan Pu's attention. Before the news reaches the city lord's palace, the water must be muddied.
His destination was naturally Zhang Chu's mansion. According to the clues Wen Lan heard, he arrived in front of the mansion in less than half an hour. A human-immortal monk was sitting outside the mansion meditating.
Cheng Ling took a step forward and said, "I'm here to invite you, my dear friend. Cheng Ling is an old friend of Zhang Chu. Please let me know!"
The monk glanced with his consciousness and saw that Cheng Ling's cultivation level was not clear, so he said: "I don't dare, please wait a moment, fellow immortal, and I will ask Master Zhang for instructions." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the mansion.
After waiting for about half an hour, the monk turned around and said, "Master Zhang, please come."
Cheng Ling nodded slightly and followed him into the mansion.
The mansion where Zhang Chu lives is similar to the one where he and Wen Lan live, except that there are many monks wearing uniform armor along the road, like military guards, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the defense is very tight.
Cheng Ling murmured in his heart that it seemed that Zhang Chu was doing well. With his cultivation, he should have gone to the islands after the 30th. Still staying on Island No. 1, Lord Qi City must have other plans.
Following the lead monk, he turned around the entrance hall and came to the reception hall. He saw Zhang Chu sitting high in the middle. When he saw Cheng Ling coming in, he suddenly said: "So it's you. What's the important matter with me?"
The official tone is full, and he looks domineering.
Cheng Ling took a step forward and said, "Senior, I want to make a deal with you!" After saying that, he glanced sideways at the guards in the hall, showing a secretive look.
Zhang Chu raised his eyebrows and waved his hand. Everyone in the hall saluted him and left. After a while, there were only two of them left in the hall, and Zhang Chucai said, "Can we talk now?"
Cheng Ling's consciousness swept over and saw that the nearest monk was ten feet away from the hall. He immediately connected his hands and set up several layers of restrictions in the hall without hesitation.
A flash of light flashed in Zhang Chu's eyes. This was something interesting to Cheng Ling. These restrictions were set up in an instant, and even his consciousness couldn't sweep out of the hall.
Just as he was about to ask a question, Cheng Ling said first: "Senior, do you still remember the question that junior asked me about before? In fact, you guessed it right. Junior has had adventures, and he also has the inheritance left by the ancient monks. It is... .!”
Cheng Ling deliberately said the last sentence very softly, and Zhang Chu's spirit perked up, thinking that this boy really has the inheritance of ancient monks. He couldn't help but stand up and leaned over to hear more clearly.
Cheng Ling was waiting for this opportunity. When Zhang Chu came closer, he suddenly took action. His right hand turned into a sword finger, and the sharp sword energy hit several large acupuncture points on Zhang Chu's body, quickly restraining him. Without saying a word, the Long Ling Sword came into his hand. The tip of the long sword was pointed at the center of Zhang Chu's eyebrows, and he said calmly: "General Zhang, you can't think of it!"
Zhang Chu was horrified. Even his own consciousness could not see clearly the strength that the other party burst out in an instant. How is this possible? He is an ascended person who has just come from the mortal world!
But the long sword in front of him was not a trick. He could feel that the sword energy had invaded his soul. As long as Cheng Ling had a single thought, he would be completely destroyed.
"You..., you are not an ascendant, so why did you appear in the Ascension Hall?"
"You will know these things later. Now, open your soul and don't challenge my patience. If you are unwilling to cooperate, there are many ways to make you want to die!"
"You, what on earth do you want to do?"
"It seems that you don't believe what I said, so okay, instead of having to drink a toast, I'll let you feel the pain of separation first!"
After saying that, Cheng Ling's sword energy was like a rainbow, and he instantly cut off a very small part of Zhang Chu's soul!
Zhang Chu screamed fiercely, but the hall had long been restricted. Even if the screams inside were so miserable, the monks outside the hall could not hear him. Big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. This kind of pain of soul separation was really unbearable!
"Hmph, you still want to leave a mark of divine consciousness on my body! How about it? I can only cut off a small piece of the divine soul at a time and let you taste the ecstasy of pleasure a few more times!"
Cheng Ling continued to exert pressure! This is really not an empty threat. With the strength of his spiritual consciousness, it is completely crushing to deal with the soul of a Xuanxian monk like Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and said hurriedly: "Senior, Zhang is blind. He has offended me many times before. Please spare my life."
"I'm not interested in your life yet. Open your mind and don't let me say it a third time!" The tone was cold and there was no room for hesitation!
Zhang Chu had no choice but to open his mind.
Cheng Ling moved his right hand and the Dragon Ling Sword disappeared. Immediately afterwards, he performed dozens of mysterious tricks with both hands. After a while, Zhang Chu felt that his soul seemed to have a kind of fetter. Looking at Cheng Ling again, it was like a mountain standing still, without any sense of resistance.
Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "What? This method of restriction is very mysterious. From now on, if I live, you can live; if I die, you must die! Of course, you will also get some unexpected benefits. , if my realm improves, you will be able to gain some insights into the way of heaven!"
By this time, Zhang Chu had completely understood. There is a forbidden connection between the two. Cheng Ling's cultivation level is no longer a secret. I really didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a late-stage Celestial Immortal monk. He knelt down and said respectfully: "Zhang Chu pays homage to the master!"
Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction. This restraint method was the same as the one used to control Eunuch Hai. Life and death depended on his own thoughts. The only troublesome thing is that when the restriction is imposed, the other party must open up and not resist.
Now that Zhang Chu is finally under complete control, the follow-up plan can be carried out!
He said calmly: "Get up! Don't reveal my cultivation level for the time being. From now on, you and I can treat each other as brothers. In the eyes of outsiders, your cultivation level is higher, so just call me Lingdi!"
"Yes, Brother Ling!" His life and death were completely in the hands of the other party. Zhang Chu really didn't dare to call out Brother Ling, so he could only call out Brother Ling vaguely.
Cheng Ling shook his head. He knew that Zhang Chu was scrupulous, but he didn't blame him. He said, "Don't be so formal. This title sounds too awkward. Just treat us as sworn brothers and just call us second brother. Do you understand?"
Zhang Chu took a peek and saw that he didn't seem to be faking it, so he plucked up the courage and said, "Yes, second brother!"
"Okay, big brother! Now tell me, why did Lord Qi let you stay on Island No. 1?"
"Well, after we were kidnapped here by the men in black, Lord Qi saw that my cultivation had reached the late stage of Xuanxian, and there happened to be a lack of monks in the city to manage the ascended ones, so he kept me as the city's protective general. "
"Second brother, you also know that there are more than 500,000 monks on the island. With so many monks, collisions are inevitable. The city guard general is equivalent to law enforcement in the city, maintaining the majesty of the city lord's mansion. Once the rules of the city lord's mansion are found to be violated, the city's law enforcement will have Quan kills him on the spot!"
"Oh, how many guards do you have?"
"There are currently 500 of them, and their cultivation levels are all above the late Human Immortal stage. Some of them have survived the ring battle."
"Are they all monks from the City Lord's Mansion? Are there any of them who only obey your orders?"
Zhang Chuluo pondered for a moment and then said: "The number of my trusted subordinates who only obey my orders is not large. After all, I have only been on the island for a short period of time. There are only seven or eight of them in total!"
