Free Web NovelChapter 286: Chapter 137: The Array Is Activated, Burying the Dead for Peace
Early the next morning.
Zhou Changwang resumed his daily body refining practice.
Which means practicing the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques several times a day.
This Body Cultivation Technique truly has its unique attributes, never reducing its difficulty as his Experience Points increase.
On the contrary, the higher the Realm, the greater the difficulty in cultivation.
Even though his Body Cultivation Realm has reached the Fourth Layer of Body Refining, he always sweats profusely after every practice.
Of course, the tangible increase in physical strength is clear to him.
It is precisely because of this that he relentlessly practices daily.
After completing the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques three times.
After casting a Cleaning Technique, he heard some commotion outside the door.
Guessing that the Array Master he had arranged might have arrived, Zhou Changwang hurried towards the valley entrance.
However, the person who appeared before him was not the Array Master Chen Yuanfang, but Ma Tiansheng and a cultivator who was short and stout, with an oval-shaped protrusion on his head.
Zhou Changwang glanced briefly, Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.
He guessed the person’s identity, presumably his nominal neighbor, Li Pengfei the Spirit Plant Master.
"Are you Zhou Changwang, the new Spirit Plant Master?"
The short and stout cultivator glanced at Zhou Changwang and frowned.
"Who are you?"
Although Zhou Changwang had guessed the visitor’s identity, he asked nonetheless.
"Li Pengfei, whether in terms of Spirit Plant expertise or cultivation, I should be a bit better than you. You can call me Elder Li."
Li Pengfei raised his head as he spoke.
"What’s your business?"
Zhou Changwang ignored him and replied.
"You and I both serve as Spirit Plant Tributors at Shuiyun Pavilion, theoretically, I shouldn’t be coming.
But my brother rented spirit land before you and now you’ve driven him away the moment you arrived, which seems unreasonable."
Li Pengfei looked at Zhou Changwang and spoke coldly.
"If I recall correctly, I did give him ten days.
The time was up, yet he refused to leave, so it’s not my fault.
Or do you think I’m easy to bully?"
Zhou Changwang sneered and then looked at Ma Tiansheng.
Upon hearing this, Ma Tiansheng met Zhou Changwang’s seemingly calm gaze, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, absolutely not..."
He was indeed a bit scared.
Who brings out talismans at the slightest disagreement to smash the Mountain Protection Array?
When that immensely powerful thunderbolt descended and shattered the entire array at that instant, his soul seemed to fly away, almost immediately remembering the despair when he encountered that terrifying Demon Beast in the wilderness.
Thus, facing Zhou Changwang again at this moment, he was very fearful in his heart.
"On this point, my brother was wrong.
However, my brother left in a hurry and did leave a lot of things in the spirit land.
So, we need you, Changwang, to open the array and let us in."
Li Pengfei’s expression froze, then he spoke again.
As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Tiansheng, showing a look of reproach in his eyes, what’s going on? I’m trying to stand up for you, and you’re holding me back?
"Left things behind?
Fellow Daoist Ma, what did you leave behind?"
Zhou Changwang’s expression didn’t change, just looking at Ma Tiansheng again.
"No, nothing... I didn’t leave anything behind."
Ma Tiansheng continued shaking his head vigorously, then pulled Li Pengfei and said softly, "Let’s go."
"Go?"
Li Pengfei looked at him incredulously.
But Ma Tiansheng just pulled him, and then with a smiling face said to Zhou Changwang, "We’ll leave now, we’ll leave now."
Then the two slowly walked off in another direction.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but show a hint of confusion on his face. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
These two came early in the morning looking fierce, and just like that? It ended unresolved?
As for Li Pengfei’s implied intentions, he was naturally clear.
Isn’t it about the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field? If they had spoken reasonably, he was not an unreasonable person and had already prepared to start anew.
...
"Old Ma? What’s wrong with you?
Faced with the final moment, why did you back down?"
On the way back, Li Pengfei complained immediately.
"I didn’t back down, we were wrong to begin with.
Pushing forward, there’s no reason."
Ma Tiansheng just shook his head, unable to help but argue back.
Of course, he wouldn’t admit to being afraid of Zhou Changwang.
Indeed, someone who could easily whip out so many High-grade First-grade Spirit Talismans and smash that Mountain Protection Array is certainly not someone a mere Spirit Plant Master like him could afford to offend.
Who knows what background he has behind him?
"You, Old Ma, are not usually a reasonable person."
Li Pengfei gave Ma Tiansheng a sidelong glance and then added, "Besides, the Spirit Plants you planted in the Spirit Field.
The Qingyun Grass and Spirit Charm Flower aside, but those Purple and Blue Flowers, you planted over three hundred of them yourself, with the Spirit Seeds costing over a hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. Now they’re almost ripe, and just letting him have them?"
"What can be done?
The Purple and Blue Flowers are very delicate, requiring Second-Grade Spirit Field to survive.
After transplanting, they must be planted in suitable Spirit Land within three hours, otherwise, they’ll wither and die.
Even if I take those Purple and Blue Flowers back, I can’t find a suitable place to transplant them at the moment?
Old Li, are you willing to empty a mu of Spirit Field to help me plant Spirit Plants?"
Ma Tiansheng spoke, looking expectantly at Li Pengfei.
"That’s impossible."
Li Pengfei quickly shook his head.
His Spirit Field was already fully planted, of course, it wasn’t possible to give up space for Ma Tiansheng.
"I shouldn’t have listened to you from the start.
If I honestly gave up, I could use the vacant time to cultivate the Purple and Blue Flowers to maturity, preserving a lot rather than suffering such losses."
