The mountain gates of all the sects were moved to the Five Directions Flags.
Thanks to the efforts of all the disciples, the various mountain peaks have been basically settled.
At this moment, one can see the shapes of various mountain peaks as far as the eye can see.
This scene pleased Fang Zelin greatly.
From now on, it can be said that there are no more obstacles to the immortal sects.
Fang Zelin's efforts to deal with the various mountain peaks were somewhat slow.
After all, we need to plant things on every mountain peak and clear out a large area.
The most dazzling mountain peak should be the one where the spirit rice is grown.
Following Fang Zelin's instructions, terraced fields were created on the mountain peaks, each layer resembling a series of steps when viewed from a distance.
The spirit rice planted in the ground, swaying its ears of rice, appears full of spirit, making it hard to look away.
By the time all the tasks at hand were completed, half a month had passed.
Yunzi has finished giving instructions, and the disciples have returned to their usual routines.
They spend their days practicing and comprehending Daoist texts, or taking turns nurturing and cultivating magical Law Treasure.
With this regular schedule, the disciples have all become fully engaged in their work.
The disciples dared not delay in nurturing the Law Treasure.
"Is this... planting ice lotus?"
When Yunzi arrived, the medicine boy was diligently digging through the silt in the pond, panting heavily.
Ice lotus requires a slightly special growing environment, and he is currently trying his best to improve it.
Yunzi had been by her side all along and had seen the Ice Lotus Seed before.
Seeing the ice lotus seeds lying to the side, and the appearance of the medicine boy, it was easy to guess what he was doing.
They immediately asked aloud.
The young apprentice heard the voice, glanced up, and then quickly looked down again.
The young apprentice was rummaging through the mud, but he wasn't just doing that. As he turned the mud, he was also using some of his Law Power power to nourish it.
This is to ensure that the mud contains some of its essence; otherwise, the ice lotus will not be able to grow due to insufficient nutrients.
This tiny bit of Law Power needs to be applied very evenly, without being too much or too little.
Too many seeds can cause them to burst, while too few seeds won't be able to grow properly; it's a bit of a laborious process.
Under these circumstances, it was quite difficult for the apprentice medicine boy to do this job.
Unfortunately, this is something that only the other party can do.
With the essence of ginseng itself, combined with the Azure Wood Qi absorbed by the medicine boy earlier, Fang Zelin didn't have such a thing.
If an outsider were to come here and see this scene, they might mistakenly believe that Fang Zelin was abusing children.
Yunzi watched for a moment and also figured out a bit of the trick, and couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.
"Fellow Daoist, this young boy is quite capable; even just turning over a pond has yielded so many intricacies."
Fang Zelin smiled upon hearing this, "He was originally a ginseng in human form, so naturally he's very skilled in this area."
"However, it wasn't for nothing. I shared a Azure Wood Qi with him beforehand. If this Azure Wood Qi were given to any plant or tree spirit, it could easily take form."
For the spirits of plants and trees to take human form is far more difficult than for ordinary demons.
However, once one possesses the Azure Wood Qi, one can easily take on a physical form, which shows just how powerful this Azure Wood Qi truly is.
No wonder the apprentice medicine boy worked so hard after receiving the Azure Wood Qi; he was practically jumping for joy.
Yunzi found this somewhat amusing and was about to say something when she saw Fang Zelin wave his hand, gesturing for her to sit down at the stone table.
Seeing this, Yunzi didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat down.
"Please."
Fang Zelin poured the other person a glass of sake, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Fang Zelin hasn't been practicing much these past few days either.
Having spent so much time crafting this Law Treasure, it's time to relax a bit.
Yunzi picked up her wine glass, but instead of drinking it, she raised it again and then put it down before asking a question.
Now that Law Treasure have been crafted, is it time to go find the Devil Race?
From what she knew of Fang Zelin, he seemed to quite like to take action first and go to their door.
Otherwise, Fang Zelin wouldn't have wanted to know the location of the Devil Race.
Fang Zelin poured himself a glass of wine, twirled the glass between his fingers, paused briefly, and then spoke.
"Although the Law Treasure has been mastered, it should give us a good chance of winning if we go to their door. However, the Law Treasure will be even more powerful after it has been nurtured."
"Furthermore, after nurturing these Law Treasure, these disciples will become more familiar with them and be able to control Law Treasure as easily as their own arms, which will be even more advantageous."
So we'll have to wait and see.
Fang Zelin had already considered this matter beforehand.
Going to their door is certainly better than waiting here for them to come to you; you might even be able to catch them off guard.
However, for the sake of the Daoist Sect disciples' lives, Fang Zelin decided to wait.
Once these disciples become more familiar with this Law Treasure and their cultivation deepens,
To avoid too many disciples falling in the end.
It's quite an achievement that we've finally gained so many disciples.
He can't just let countless disciples perish with a single thought, leaving all the sects in a desolate state.
Even though these disciples died without regret and felt they should fight to the death, Fang Zelin did not want to do so.
Yunzi understood Fang Zelin's meaning, paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then spoke.
" The Devil Race has devoted themselves to cultivation for so long, and countless Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune have been refined by them as spirit medicine. Now, it's likely that there are countless powerful figures hidden within that race."
"The number is countless. In that battle, many disciples will surely perish, and I fear many fellow cultivators will also perish along with them."
"But if this battle can completely stabilize the foundation of the Immortal Sect, I will have no regrets even if I die."
Yunzi's eyes were firm as she spoke earnestly.
Even she had prepared herself for her demise.
Fang Zelin smiled helplessly, "Even if a disciple is about to perish, we cannot sacrifice them arbitrarily."
"Let's wait until those disciples are a bit more skilled before discussing anything else. Right now, there are so many disciples from various sects; I can't just lead them there and wipe them all out."
"If we fight until the disciples of the immortal sects are decimated, how can that be acceptable?"
A thousand years ago, he had witnessed the desolate state of the disciples from various sects.
Now that we've finally gained some popularity, we can't afford to lose it all again.
Yunzi didn't say anything more after hearing Fang Zelin's words.
What she wanted Fang Zelin to know was that sometimes necessary sacrifices cannot be avoided.
We can't keep dragging this out. If the Devil Race make their move first and come knocking on our door, causing more disciples to perish, that would be disastrous.
When it's time to be ruthless, you have to be ruthless.
"Master, the pond has been turned over!"
Fang Zelin and the other man talked while the young apprentice worked silently.
Finally, after the last bit of water had been properly nourished, the entire pond came alive with life.
Even a random wild grass thrown in could grow into a spirit medicine medicine.
The young apprentice stood up with considerable satisfaction, his face still covered in dirt, but he didn't seem to care much.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin glanced at the package to make sure nothing had been overlooked, and then said, "If it's ready, then plant the seed."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the young apprentice used his Law Power to gather all the seeds of the Ice Lotus into his palm, and then began to carefully plant them.
A moment later, all the seeds were planted, and the medicine boy clapped his hands and flew out of the pond with great joy.
He channeled his Law Power into himself, and his clothes instantly became clean.
Her fair, rosy face was now completely free of any dirt.
"It seems the Azure Wood Qi has indeed brought you many benefits; two green leaves have actually sprouted from the top of your head."
Fang Zelin hadn't noticed before, but now that the medicine boy had popped his head out, he took a closer look and saw him.
The young medicine boy now had two extra ginseng leaves on his head.
In the past, it was difficult for this young apprentice to grow even one more ginseng leaf.
After all, one can discern the current level of cultivation from the ginseng leaves; each additional ginseng leaf represents a higher level of cultivation.
Now there are two more floors.
Upon hearing this, the young apprentice reached out and touched the ginseng leaf on his head, chuckled, but didn't say anything more.
The benefits that the Azure Wood Qi brought me this time were something that outsiders could never understand.
To outsiders, all they could see was that he had two more levels of cultivation.
In reality, however, the benefits he received were far greater than that.
However, given his current level of skill, he wouldn't be afraid to face both the tiger and deer demons.
"Immortal Master."
Just as the medicine boy was thinking that he could easily beat the two demons to the ground, the tiger and deer demons flew over at that moment.
Tianxi was also there.
"Immortal Master, we have completed the task of dealing with the three mountain peaks as you instructed."
All three mountain peaks have been treated according to Fang Zelin's requirements, and things like the gourd-shaped rice paddies have also been prepared.
Earlier, Fang Zelin had saved some seedlings, but now that he had a place, he could just plant them directly.
So after the terraced fields on these mountains were built, they were directly planted with countless rice seedlings.
Fang Zelin was quite satisfied to see the three demons return, and immediately took out three gourds and tossed them to the demons.
"This is a reward for you."
The gourd contained elixirs, specifically the Essence-Enhancing Pill.
Each pill can increase one's cultivation by thirty years, and there are about thirty pills in a gourd.
A rough calculation suggests that one gourd can increase one's cultivation level by about nine hundred years.
The three demons had followed him for many years, so giving them some pills now was nothing.
In addition, he had frequently used the three demons when he was practicing with Law Treasure.
This gourd of pills is indeed worth giving away.
The three demons took the gourd and saw the pattern of Pill Furnace engraved on it, immediately realizing that it contained elixirs.
In an instant, his eyes widened, revealing an undisguised surprise.
They were very familiar with the elixirs that the immortal had refined before.
The lowest grade of pills can increase one's cultivation by thirty years, and each gourd contains thirty pills.
These gourds containing elixirs all have a marking on them.
For example, a gourd that can increase one's cultivation level by thirty years will have an extra number three engraved on the Pill Furnace.
Just like the gourd in their hands.
On the top side are pills that can increase one's cultivation by fifty years, and the number is five.
A better elixir is an eighty-year-old elixir, the number being eight.
Then there's the hundredth year; the number is one hundred.
The immortal master refined quite a few of these elixirs back then.
Giving them a demon and a gourd is an immense blessing.
After all, there are thirty pills in one gourd, enough to increase one's cultivation level by nine hundred years.
If this were a gourd containing a hundred characters, it would represent three thousand years of cultivation.
However, even with a hundred-word gourd, the immortal hadn't refined many of them, so naturally they dared not covet the pills.
"Thank you, Immortal Master!"
The three demons were overjoyed. After a slight moment of surprise, they hurriedly thanked Fang Zelin repeatedly.
They were incredibly excited at that moment.
The young apprentice stood to the side, initially looking rather arrogant, believing he could now take on these two demons one-on-one.
However, to their utter surprise, the immortal gave each of them a gourd in the blink of an eye.
With a cultivation of nine hundred years, the gap in elixir refining was originally slight, but it has now been completely closed!
Upon realizing this, the ginseng leaves above the young apprentice's head immediately wilted.
What kind of mess is this? I thought we'd finally separated those two demons completely!
I never expected it to turn out this way.
"Well, take the pills and return to your respective peaks to cultivate and refine them properly."
Fang Zelin nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said something.
The three demons dared not be negligent upon hearing this, and quickly nodded in agreement before turning to leave.
However, upon seeing the medicine boy beside him, the tiger demon paused slightly and slowed its pace.
"It seems your cultivation has improved quite a bit, not bad at all. It seems you've received many benefits from the immortal, haven't you? After I refine this pill, shall we have a spar?"
As the tiger demon spoke, it bared its enormous fangs.
The tiger demon, who usually appeared somewhat docile, now exuded an aura of domineering power.
Upon hearing this, the medicine boy shook his head vigorously, "No way! I'm not good at fighting, no way!"
If his cultivation level is high enough, then it wouldn't hurt to fight with the other party.
But it won't be long before the gap in skill level is closed, and it's even possible that the opponent will surpass him.
Furthermore, the tiger demon is extremely skilled in magical combat; to engage in magical combat under such circumstances would be something only a fool would do.
The tiger demon had already disliked him before, so it was better to avoid a fight, otherwise he would definitely get a beating.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go easy on you later."
The tiger demon grunted twice, then turned and strode away.
