69: Chapter 69 The Eighth Level of Qi Refining

After it matures, he would definitely bring it to Lin Hao.

After reading the letter, Qin Changsheng's eyes were filled with joy.

He had not expected such a huge harvest after killing Zhou Hu.

Not only did he obtain a High Grade Magical Artifact longsword, but he also gained one hundred Spirit Stones.

More importantly, he had also obtained information about the spirit cleansing grass.

Soon, Qin Changsheng had a plan in his mind.

That was to send his Incarnation, Hu Nan, to Beihai Prefecture.

By heading to Beihai Prefecture, the Incarnation could stay far away from the Heavenly Sword Sect, preventing the Blood Demon Sect from continuing to target him.

Secondly, the Incarnation could go to the valley in Beihai Prefecture to seize the spirit cleansing grass.

Thirdly, Beihai Prefecture was his hometown; letting the Incarnation go there would allow him to see his family.

Meanwhile, he would hide within the Heavenly Sword Sect and plant Qi Gathering grass for Fairy Qingling.

Having made up his mind, Qin Changsheng hesitated no longer. A crystalline Spirit Stone flew out from his Storage Pouch and hovered in his palm.

"Condense!" he said in a low voice, and a beam of light flew forward.

A moment later, the spiritual light dissipated, and Hu Nan's figure appeared once again.

"Greetings, original self." Hu Nan bowed slightly, his tone respectful.

Qin Changsheng nodded slowly: "Go to a valley in the north of Beihai Prefecture and search for the spirit cleansing grass!"

"As you command." Hu Nan replied, his figure moving like a phantom as he disappeared into the night of the small courtyard.

...

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Chore Hall.

A man in red sat in the main seat. He wore a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold, sinister eyes.

"Subordinate Manager Ma Yingjie greets the Young Lord!" Manager Ma Yingjie bowed, his tone respectful yet unable to hide his pride.

The masked man glanced at Manager Ma Yingjie below, then asked: "Was Hu Nan killed?"

"Your subordinate has fulfilled the mission; Hu Nan has been successfully killed!" Manager Ma Yingjie was extremely proud.

"Is this true?" The masked man stood up excitedly.

"Young Lord, your subordinate used the Blood Demon Needle Spell to blow him into fragments. There was nothing left, not even a trace of his Divine Soul. It is absolutely impossible for this to be fake!" Manager Ma Yingjie was very confident.

In Manager Ma Yingjie's view, there was absolutely no possibility of Hu Nan being resurrected.

After all, he had seen Hu Nan turn into fragments with his own eyes.

"Good! Good! Good!" The masked man said the word "good" three times, his tone full of praise and joy. "Hall Revered Master Ma, you have done very well! You are indeed the subordinate I value the most!"

Receiving the Young Lord's praise, Manager Ma Yingjie was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude, his tone becoming even more respectful: "Your subordinate dares not claim credit. This is all due to the Young Lord's wise command; your subordinate only did his duty! Being able to work for the Young Lord and relieve the Blood Demon Sect's worries is my honor!"

Hearing Manager Ma Yingjie's flattery, a trace of joy also appeared in the masked man's eyes.

"Young Lord, now that Hu Nan is dead, there is simply no one who can stop the Young Lord from winning the grand competition championship!" Manager Ma Yingjie said.

"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, the masked man laughed out loud.

...

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Qingling Peak.

Qin Changsheng, wearing his Outer Sect attire, arrived here along with many other Outer Sect Disciples.

These Outer Sect Disciples were all like Qin Changsheng, wanting to plant Qi Gathering grass for Fairy Qingling to earn a high reward.

However, Qin Changsheng had come specifically for the Qi Gathering grass.

After all, he possessed the Cultivation trait.

For every plant of Qi Gathering grass he harvested, he could gain five.

Qin Changsheng and the others waited at the entrance for a while before two maidservants led them inside.

Not long after, the maidservants brought Qin Changsheng and the others into a courtyard.

Fairy Qingling was dressed in a light cyan gauze dress, her body devoid of any sharp, aggressive aura of a Cultivator.

"Greetings, Fairy Qingling." Everyone bowed to Fairy Qingling one after another.

"No need for formalities!" Fairy Qingling looked up at Qin Changsheng and the others before asking: "Have you all come to plant Spiritual Plants?"

Seeing everyone nod, Fairy Qingling called Jiang Lijuan over: "Lijuan, take them to the spirit field!"

"Assign them an acre of spirit field to specialize in planting Qi Gathering grass, and inform them of the planting rules."

"Yes, Revered Master!" Jiang Lijuan walked up quickly and bowed to accept the order.

"Junior Brothers, please follow me!"

After Jiang Lijuan finished speaking, she led Qin Changsheng and the others to a spirit field.

"The spirit fields in our Spirit Garden have all been blessed with Spells by Revered Master, making them very suitable for the growth of Qi Gathering grass. As long as you tend to them carefully, you will surely have a harvest."

As she spoke, they had already arrived beside a spirit field on the west side of the Spirit Garden.

This spirit field was flat, the soil a moist, brownish-black color, faintly glowing with a light spiritual aura. It was clearly demarcated from the surrounding fields, with neat ridges, and small tools for watering the spiritual spring were placed to the side, clearly prepared in advance.

Jiang Lijuan stopped and pointed to this spirit field, speaking clearly: "Junior Brothers, look, these spirit fields are what Revered Master has specifically arranged for you to plant Qi Gathering grass. Our Spirit Garden has clear rules: you must plant here with peace of mind. Every six months, you must hand over two hundred mature Qi Gathering grass plants, and the quality of the Qi Gathering grass must meet the standard; there must be no signs of wilting or insufficient Spiritual Qi."

Jiang Lijuan introduced the rules within the spirit field to Qin Changsheng and the others.

The rules were also very simple; this spirit field was leased to them by Fairy Qingling.

They only needed to hand over two hundred Qi Gathering grass plants to Fairy Qingling every six months.

The remaining Qi Gathering grass would be distributed among Qin Changsheng and the others.

Moreover, after completing the submission, Fairy Qingling would also give them some Spirit Sand as a reward.

Hearing Jiang Lijuan's words, Qin Changsheng's eyes were filled with joy.

One acre of spirit field could plant at least two hundred and thirty-some Qi Gathering grass plants.

With the addition of the Golden Trait, Cultivation, he could harvest one thousand one hundred and fifty plants.

After deducting the two hundred plants to be handed over, Qin Changsheng could harvest over nine hundred plants within six months.

After Jiang Lijuan finished introducing the rules, she distributed the Qi Gathering grass seeds to Qin Changsheng and the others.

...

In the blink of an eye, two months passed quietly.

Over these two months, Qin Changsheng would arrive at the west spirit field on time during the day to plant Qi Gathering grass.

At this time, the spirit field was no longer just soil and seeds as it had been initially. Tender green seedlings of Qi Gathering grass had broken through the soil in neat rows, their leaves slender and emerald green, glowing with a faint spiritual aura, growing vigorously.

In the afternoon, Qin Changsheng would return to his small courtyard to practice the Gale Sword Technique.

With the addition of the Golden Trait, Sword Heart Clarity, Qin Changsheng's Cultivation Speed was very fast.

In just about two months, the proficiency of his sword technique had already reached over two thousand six hundred.

Now, he only needed about three months to Cultivate the Gale Sword Technique to Perfection.

At night, Qin Changsheng would sit cross-legged on the stone bed, close his eyes, calm his mind, and enter a state of Cultivation.
