Chapter 159 - 159: 144 Conversation and Harvesting a Lot
An expression of delight appeared on Chen Sheng’s face.
Without any hesitation, he immediately took the spirit seed to the front of the spiritual medicine field.
Leaning over,
Chen Sheng again dug up the spot where he had previously placed the stone spirit seed and put the new spirit seed in.
Then,
He squatted beside the field, watching the spiritual light from the tree root spirit seed continue to penetrate into the cracks in the soil around it.
Even the stone spirit seed that was originally full of cracks was tinted with this strong spiritual light, no longer appearing dull as before.
“This Spirit Seed is of a high-quality, with such a thick release of spiritual light. I’m afraid that by tomorrow, it will be able to sprout a new batch of spiritual medicine at the very latest.”
At this time,
Zi Ming also walked over and squatted beside Chen Sheng.
His gaze swept across the small 4 or 5 square meter spiritual field in front of him.
“Brother Chen, I think we can further expand this spiritual field.” Zi Ming pointed to the tree root spirit seed underground. In mere moments,
Its aura had practically covered the entire spiritual field.
By night,
It would be enough to illuminate the entire backyard without any need for a lamp.
Hearing this,
Chen Sheng nodded, before turning his gaze to Zi Ming.
“Do you know how to do it?”
Zi Ming was taken aback.
Immediately after, a smile appeared on his face. “I know a bit about opening up wasteland, digging graves, and hoeing.”
“Clearing the land, digging graves, hoeing, I know a bit.”
After ten minutes,
“Done.”
When Zi Ming stood up again, his hands were already covered with mud. The spiritual field beneath him had been expanded by a ring, and medicinal herb seeds were planted.
After wiping off the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, Zi Ming walked towards the sink to clean his hands.
As for Chen Sheng,
He was in the grocery store, ordering takeout over the phone.
Since neither Xu Ying nor Zhou Li were present, Chen Sheng didn’t feel like cooking and would rather order in.
“Thank you.”
After returning to the backyard, Chen Sheng nodded towards Zi Ming.
Immediately afterwards ,
His expression grew a little strange.
Was Zi Ming actually… sweating?
Even his breathing appeared somewhat labored.
Chen Sheng had originally assumed that because he couldn’t see Zi Ming’s attribute panel, his strength was likely similar to his own, and he might even far surpass him.
But now,
Zi Ming’s performance overturned Chen Sheng’s speculation.
“It’s nothing.”
Zi Ming saw Chen Sheng’s concern, but he didn’t seem to feel like explaining. He continued washing his hands in silence by the sink.
Chen Sheng didn’t take it to heart.
Though he was somewhat curious, if Zi Ming wouldn’t speak, he couldn’t strong-arm him into it.
Upon this thought,
Chen Sheng approached the stone table.
The gift bag that Zi Ming brought contained two wooden boxes in total.
After seeing the spirit seed and getting overjoyed, Chen Sheng momentarily forgot that he hadn’t opened the other wooden box.
Upon opening the box,
The bright light once again filled Chen Sheng’s eyes.
Inside the wooden box, neatly arranged, were about a dozen spiritual medicines.
Their source must also be Li Hengkong.
Although Chen Sheng was unclear how Li obtained these resources.
Chen Sheng wasn’t shy about calling Li a sly dog.
Luckily,
Now, all of these are his.
With this harvest, Chen Sheng would not need to worry about cultivation resources for a long time.
Upon thinking this,
Chen Sheng picked up a spiritual medicine and headed straight to the kitchen.
After asking Zhou Li a series of questions, Chen Sheng selected the appropriate herbs and began to boil water to cook the spirit medicine.
Upon returning to the backyard,
Zi Ming had already sat back down at the stone table, quietly waiting for Chen Sheng.
“Brother Chen, ”
“About yesterday’s incident, you… didn’t leave any evidence, did you?”
Chen Sheng shook his head.
“No.”
When it came to handling crime scene evidence, the current Chen Sheng was no longer the rookie who needed Zi Ming’s guidance. Now, he already had a wealth of experience.
“That’s good.”
Upon hearing this,
Zi Ming nodded, completely relieved.
“You don’t need to worry about Power Sect for now.”
“As long as they can’t find any evidence, at most the Wu’an Bureau will send someone to investigate. They won’t blatantly give you a hard time.”
“Thanks.”
Chen Sheng sat down at the stone table and thanked Zi Ming again.
He was well aware that Zhao Zhenfeng had behaved himself only because of Zi Ming.
“You’ve saved me twice.” “This little thing is nothing.” Zi Ming slowly shook his head.
After saying that,
He fell into silence, hesitation flashing in his eyes, as if wrestling with something.
After a while,
Shen Ziming seemed to have made up his mind.
He turned to Chen Sheng.
“Brother Chen, ” “Are you interested in the Sealed Land?”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng’s gaze sharpened.
As expected.
He suspected that Shen Ziming’s visit to Fuhai Province was not just to help him deal with the power sect issue.
A few days ago, Chen Sheng attacked Xiang Zeng and took his phone. While checking the text messages on the phone, he saw a message about the sealea Lana.
Last time he explored the Sealed Land, Chen Sheng obtained the powerful breathing technique of Profound and True Martial Arts.
But he was not sure if the other Sealed Lands would also contain similar breathing techniques.
“What do you mean?”
Chen Sheng didn’t show any interest in the Sealed Land.
Because so far, his knowledge of the Sealed Land only came from sporadic information from Xu Ying and what he discovered at the bottom of the waterfall.
“The Sealed Land is a site left by the ancient humans after they sealed the Celestials.”
“Its location and scale have no particular pattern, mainly because most of them are extremely well-concealed and hard to discover.”
“We can only discover them when the seal gradually breaks, and the power leakage from the Sealed Land impacts the surrounding environment . “However, there’s one thing that is common in all Sealed Lands.” “That is, in every Sealed Land, there are inheritances.”
“Those ancient humans who sealed the Celestials would leave the legacy of their cultivated breathing techniques in the Sealed Land. Any human who enters the deepest part of the Sealed Land can obtain an extremely powerful breathing technique as long as they pass the tests.”
Huh?
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng’s face shifted.
He instantly turned his gaze towards Shen Ziming.
“Without exception?”
“Without exception.”
Chen Sheng’s fingers were slowly twirling, his eyes reflecting a contemplative expression.
Shen Ziming affirmed the suspicion in his mind.
That was, other Sealed Lands also contained powerful breathing techniques like Profound and True Martial Arts. Upon thinking, his mind instantly became active.
It would be a lie to say that Chen Sheng didn’t want powerful breathing techniques like Profound and True Martial Arts.
However…
“Recently, the Martial Arts Association found a potential new Sealed Land around the border of Fuhai Province and its neighboring provinces.”
“In a few days, they will probably discover the entry to the Sealed Land.”
“I plan to go explore it.”
“So, I was wondering if you would be interested in—”
“Sorry,”
“I’m not interested.”
However ,
Before Shen Ziming could finish speaking, Chen Sheng cut him off.
Now that he has obtained the inheritance of Li Hengkong, Chen Sheng doesn’t have to worry about resources for the meantime.
As for the breathing techniques, he also acquired a dozen or so from Li Hengkong.
Although individually, they may not be as powerful as Profound and True Martial Arts.
However, with the existence of Breaking Limits, the enhancement effects of these breathing techniques on his physical attributes, when stacked together, are also very considerable.
Therefore,
Chen Sheng’s current plan is to seize every opportunity to enhance his strength.
Once he is strong enough, getting breathing techniques and spirit medicines through other means would be much easier. He doesn’t need to risk exploring the Sealed Land.
Therefore,
After considering, Chen Sheng decided to reject Shen Ziming’s invitation.
Shen Ziming slightly opened his mouth, clearly surprised.
He didn’t expect Chen Sheng to refuse so decidedly.
However, shortly after, he closed his mouth and gave a wry smile. “I worked hard to gather the courage to invite you.”
“Sorry,”
Chen Sheng’s face unchanged, he apologized again.
“It’s okay.”
“I planned to go alone anyvvay, but after meeting you and seeing your extraordinary strength, I decided to extend an invitation.”
“If you’re not interested, I won’t force you.”
“Let’s forget about it. Let’s drop this topic.”
Shen Ziming laughed and waved his hand, halting the discussion about the Sealed Land. For the next half an hour,
They chatted idly.
After having a meal, Shen Ziming prepared to leave.
“I’ll be going first.”
“I’ll find you for a chat and tea when I get back from the secret land.”
At the entrance of the grocery store, Shen Ziming waved cheerfully at Chen Sheng and turned to saunter towards the alley entrance.
Watching his retreating figure,
Chen Sheng suddenly felt a strange premonition in his heart. This parting might be a long one, possibly the last.
“Hey, your health—”
Thinking about how Shen Ziming was panting for breath just from clearing the land,
Chen Sheng immediately raised his head, intending to call out to Shen Ziming.
But the next second, his pupils shrank, his face flashing with shock. He stared at the empty alley before him.
Shen Ziming, had disappeared..
