Chapter 546: Chapter 232: A Word Determines the Heart Demon_1
With the retreat of the Divine Craft Clan and the Geng Family, it was conclusively declared that Danxia Peak had a new master.
From now on, the rogue cultivators must look elsewhere for Spirit Lands.
Meanwhile, within Danxia Peak, the cultivators of Luo Tian Creed got busy.
Min Longyu, leading a group of people, began to explore the entire mountain in an attempt to set up a Big Formation, reviving the former brilliance of the Min Family’s Path of Array.
Granny Yuan and Yuan Dongsheng, leading the Medicine Hall, busied themselves on the mountain.
The original Danxia Peak had hundreds of First Order Spirit Fields, excellent for cultivating medicinal herbs or Spirit Rice.
Unfortunately, over the past century, without anyone to take care of it and with the havoc wreaked by rogue cultivators.
The number of First Order Spirit Fields drastically reduced to just over a hundred.
Even these hundred-plus Spirit Fields are suffering from a lack of Spirit Qi, facing the danger of dropping in Order.
After the survey, Granny Yuan was heartbroken.
Recently.
She led several cultivators from the Medicine Hall, walking among those Spirit Fields.
For those still of Order, they pulled out all the planted crops and planted common Spirit Grass that Luo Tian Creed often used.
Those fields that had dropped in Order to become ordinary fertile soil, Granny Yuan did not give up on them either.
First, she used the Fire Scorched Wilderness Technique, burning all the chopped Green Steel Wood into ash, and burying this ash in the fields.
She then asked Sima Huiniang for a thousand Spirit Stones and made a special trip to Tian Lan Immortal City.
She purchased seeds for a Spirit Grass called Celestial Silkworm Cloud Bean.
Upon returning, she sprinkled these seeds over the ordinary fertile soil.
“Planting the Celestial Silkworm Cloud Bean in rotation for three years, supplemented with Gui Water Fertilizer Technique.”
“So, in three years, these Spirit Fields can be restored to First Order quality.”
“Such good Spirit Fields were really wasted in the past!”
“Rogue cultivators, mostly, do not operate Spirit Fields in the long-term. But almost all Sects will massively develop Spirit Fields, cultivating Spirit Plants. These, though inconspicuous, are all important resources as the foundation of the Sect.”
She was explaining to Luo Chen.
When Luo Chen showed curiosity, she took the time to explain in detail.
After hearing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but marvel, thinking that the way of the Spirit Plant Cultivator was so profound.
“The ash produced from burning Green Steel Wood can provide nutrients to the soil?”
“If the Pill Hall produces a large amount of Green Steel Wood ash in the future, it could be reused.”
Luo Chen was mulling over this.
His gaze landed on Granny Yuan, who was hunched over, looking kindly at Yuan Dongsheng who was busily working in the field.
She used to be energetic, but after all these years, she had aged significantly.
Especially during the journey from Taishan District to Tianlan Immortal City, after experiencing a battle, she seemed even more aged.
Her hair was white, and her body hunched.
Standing there, she seemed like a remnant candle in the wind.
No one knew how many more years she could live.
It appeared she had noticed the sympathy in Luo Chen’s eyes.
Granny Yuan slowly said, “Lord President, are you curious about my lifespan?”
Luo Chen let out a soft hum, curious why she knew what he was thinking.
Granny Yuan revealed a kind smile, “In recent years, you’re not the only one who has asked me this. Dongsheng has always been urging me to rest, saying that he would manage these things.”
“But how could I let go and rest!”
She turned around, looked up at Luo Chen.
“Without hiding anything from you, I have at most one or two years left.”
Even though he was somewhat prepared, Luo Chen was still taken aback.
“In that case, you should not burden yourself with these matters, rest and enjoy your remaining years!”
However, Granny Yuan shook her head.
“No, I’ve lived long enough, and I’ve had enough rest.”
“Now, all I want is to pass on everything I’ve learnt to Dongsheng.”
“He has already learned enough, all he lacks is experience. Among the Techniques needed by a Spirit Plant Cultivator, other than the Second Order Fire Scorched Wilderness Technique and the Cao Ti Geng Gold Sword Technique, he has mastered them all.”
….
“President, can you promise me one thing?”
In her rambling speech, she praised and criticized Yuan Dongsheng, showing a steely determination.
Suddenly, she beseeched Luo Chen.
Luo Chen’s face turned serious, “Speak freely, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best!”
This was not simply a formal reply.
It was a heartfelt promise from Luo Chen.
Although Granny Yuan was not a close friend of his, since the establishment of Luo Tian Creed, she had been supporting him silently.
From the initial Pill Hall to the Medicine Hall.
Even now when she arrived at Danxia Peak, she was still putting forth her remaining efforts to reorganize all the Spirit Fields of Danxia Peak.
If she really could restore the glory of a hundred years ago in three years.
Then, not to mention anything else, just those hundreds of Spirit Fields, would be a solid foundation for Luo Tian Creed!
She had truly given it her all.
Granny Yuan laughed and shook her head, “The Lord President doesn’t need to go all out; actually, it’s a simple matter.”
She pointed at Yuan Dongsheng, who was busily working in the field.
“That boy, although he doesn’t mention it, has always been determined to glimpse the Great Dao Path.”
“But he’s already quite old, and in terms of aptitude, indeed, not that great.”
“So, I’d like the President to find him a marriage when he turns sixty if he has not yet achieved Foundation Establishment.”
“The Yuan Family’s lineage must not be severed!”
Luo Chen opened his mouth.
He never expected that her solemn request was so straightforward.
Facing those earnest eyes, Luo Chen took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
“Rest assured, I will remember this!”
“That’s good, that’s good. On behalf of myself, thank you, President.”
