Chapter 713 Isn't this land our Free and Unfettered Sect's?
Chapter 713 Isn't this land our Free and Unfettered Sect's?
Wei Ming and Xu Shangzhen hesitated as they looked at the rice in their bowls. There was rice and tomatoes in the bowls. The spiritual food was too abundant, and the two of them were somewhat apprehensive.
"Eat up. The spiritual plants are grown to make pills or spiritual food. There are plenty. Besides this spiritual field, there are many more on the eastern mountain. It's enough for us to eat for a year."
Huang Mingshi said, as he chewed the rice carefully, the plump grains of rice soft and sticky, exuding a fragrant aroma.
Wei Ming hesitated for a moment, then he ate the rice and started with the dishes. He knew that Jiang He could refine spiritual food, but he really didn't expect that the spiritual food she refined was different from others.
The spiritual food refined by Jiang He is impeccable in both appearance and taste.
As Wei Ming ate his meal, the man who had just been criticizing wastefulness now had his eyes narrowed.
The combination of rice and other spiritual plants was perfect. In addition to Jiang He being in charge of cooking, Zhang Wan also participated in the meal this time.
As more and more people from the Free and Unfettered Sect gathered, Jiang He found Zhang Wan and the others, gave them the spirit manual, and also handed over the secrets to its refinement.
Zhang Wan and dozens of other alchemists, most of whom graduated from the Wanjue Academy, were skilled in alchemy and had a good understanding of pills.
When Zhang Wan received the task of refining spiritual food, he found that there were not many people who could accept this task. When he arrived at the cafeteria, he found that almost everyone there was a classmate.
Zhang Wan looked at Jiang He. Ever since her identity was restored to Jiang He, Zhang Wan would occasionally glance at Jiang He.
Now that he had the opportunity to refine spiritual food, Zhang Wan naturally wouldn't let it pass, as he certainly understood the level of these spiritual plants.
This is a high-grade spiritual plant, and it's one that has just been revived from extinction. To be honest, Zhang Wan felt that his decision to enter the Wanjue Academy in a daze was absolutely correct. Otherwise, he wouldn't have met Jiang He, nor would he have come into contact with such a high-grade spiritual plant.
Jiang He was a skilled teacher and covered all the key points. Zhang Wan followed Jiang He, learning and comprehending as he went, and finished preparing the spiritual food before lunch.
Zhang Wan was responsible for preparing the meals that Wei Ming and the others ate.
No one among the alchemists objected to Jiang He's arrangements. In their view, having someone guide them and allowing them access to revitalizing spiritual plants was a kind of opportunity in itself.
Zhang Wan was eating at the door with a bowl in his hand when Long Aotian suddenly arrived with a group of people.
While refining spiritual food, Jiang He did not forget to review the materials. The first batch of cultivators who had registered were assessed by Long Aotian, without being bound by the initial assessment model.
Long Aotian's martial prowess and swordsmanship are among the best in the Refinement Stage of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
The cultivators he brought this time included sword cultivators and alchemists, but most of them were agricultural cultivators.
Zhang Wan looked at many familiar faces in the group and suddenly became somewhat lost in thought. This number was almost equal to the total number of alchemists in the Wanjue Academy's alchemy department that year.
To his surprise, both Yun Lufei and Yun Lukong came.
They even managed to steal all the alchemy teachers from the Wanjue Academy!
Zhang Wan finished eating quickly, and seeing the look in Long Aotian's eyes, he knew why they had come here:
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Wait a minute, we're out of vegetables, I'll go cook a couple of dishes."
After landing, the group enjoyed a hearty meal.
Jiang He recruited many cultivators, and the Xiaoyao Sect was suddenly filled with them.
Jin Dazhu from the neighboring Qi Sect, along with his big sword and big knife, and others, were like NPCs who regularly came to the Xiaoyao Sect to freeload meals.
Of course, Li Songcheng got his wish and entered the experimental group of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Although it is a bit hard and tiring.
But the food was really delicious, and after staying for a few months, Li Songcheng's belly became quite round.
As positive comments about the Xiaoyao Sect spread online, its popularity quietly surpassed that of the four major sects, consistently ranking first among them. Sometimes, even a single meal from it can trend on several social media platforms.
Not to mention that the number of cultivators in the Free and Unfettered Sect is increasing, and quite a few of them have joined the experimental group.
From March to June, after Jiang He led his people to plant the plains of Yangzhou, he began to plan for the territories of Shenzhou and other states.
With a large population, the land also needs to be cultivated. There is enough to eat, but it's only taking in and not giving out, which is not what Jiang He wants. In three months, they can start planting from scratch and harvest another crop in the autumn.
After being nourished by the soul, Zhong Liyu's body improved somewhat, but she still looked deathly pale.
He took his chopsticks and suddenly sucked on a snail.
The tender snail meat is spicy and incredibly addictive:
"This monster is delicious! Jiang He, how did you find out that this thing is edible? It looks a bit ugly, but it's really delicious."
"Discovered by chance."
Li Ling, slurping snails, said indistinctly, "By the way, Jiang He, Jin Dazhu told me today that he'll bring the flying boat over later to take us to the star station."
"Alright, pack your bags, we're going to Zhongzhou."
Zhong Liyu: "Hehe, I went to Zhongzhou once before, but I never got close to the central building. By the way, does our Xiaoyao Sect actually own land in that area?"
Jiang He: "Yes, it's quite big."
"The land in Zhongzhou is so valuable, I'm already looking forward to it. I can grow rice, so I'll grow rice when the time comes."
……
Five people squatted on the edge of the field, the golden rice stalks bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, the soft golden light casting long shadows on them.
Bai Zhizhou stood up and bought more cinnabar and a brush.
Since the sect competition ended, he has been forbidden by the four of them from drawing arrays with his spiritual blood, and now he carries cinnabar with him wherever he goes.
Sometimes, with Li Ling, a junior policeman, by his side, Bai Zhizhou was afraid of him.
Li Ling, who loves to tattle, sneezed.
She swayed her head from side to side, her short, neatly cut hair swinging back and forth:
"Who's insulting me?"
Zhong Liyu smiled:
"Nobody's cursing at you. Don't catch a cold and infect us all."
“Cultivators at the Void Refinement stage don’t catch colds,” Long Aotian said calmly.
"Long Aotian, you're such a boring person. I was just joking." Zhong Liyu was hissing from the spiciness, and he quickly shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
Jiang He's lips curled up, but she lowered her head, trying hard to suppress a burst of laughter.
However, her trembling shoulders betrayed her smile.
——Eastern District of Central Plains——
"I'm so tired, how come it's taken so many days to travel on the Starship?"
Zhong Liyu disembarked from the starship, looked down at the city below, and decisively chose to fly down on her sword.
Just as they landed on the platform where the skyrail was located, Jiang Helong and the other three followed.
Zhong Liyu was in front, her androgynous face always bearing a playful smile, and with her slender figure, she looked like a celebrity from the entertainment industry.
Li Ling followed beside Zhong Liyu, with green eyes, short hair, and a striking appearance.
Following closely behind were Long Aotian and Bai Zhizhou.
Bai Zhizhou wore glasses that were not transparent to the outside, covering most of his face. As for Long Aotian, he had a chiseled face and a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
Jiang He was at the very back of the line. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were distant. Her cold eyes made it impossible to see through that smile.
Jiang He's hair was pulled up; it had grown quite a bit and was no longer tied up high, but instead hung loosely around her neck, the strands of hair tightly bound and cascading down to her waist.
From a passerby's perspective, these five people are truly outstanding in appearance.
Ordinary residents who had never seen the sect competition had been watching it ever since Zhong Liyu entered the space orbit.
Whispers could be heard, and many eyes were fixed on the five people.
"When will we have a star like this in the entertainment industry? This half-dead energy is so captivating."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If they were cultivators, they would hear what we're saying."
"I don't care if people hear me. I'm thinking of going up and asking for their contact information."
"I support you. If you want them, please ask me for those two pretty girls while you're at it."
"Wow, two at once? Is he that much of a playboy?"
When the sound reached Jiang He, many girls turned to look at him.
Of course, the appearances of Jiang He and his group of five have always been public knowledge, as the sect competition is a competition within the empire's sects.
It enjoys high popularity and recognition among the general public.
Every cultivator present had seen one or two clips of this year's sect competition.
When they first saw Jiang He, they could hardly believe it.
After observing them for a while, some cultivators soon recognized the five people's identities.
More and more cultivators turned their eyes toward Jiang He and the others.
"Hey, look at them, don't they look a lot like Long Aotian and his five friends from the Xiaoyao Sect?"
"Yes! Is it cosplay? It looks like a giant!"
"I feel the same way. It feels like the kind of situation where even if the person in person comes, you'd still have to be suspicious of them."
"You two... are you trying to be abstract, or have you lost your mind? Let's put it another way, these five people are them..."
"what?"
"You can't even recognize the person in person? Are you even watching the sect competition properly?"
"Yes, there is. I was talking about the Colossus."
"Hehe, we've already secretly taken a photo together."
The daring and socially adventurous cultivator approached Jiang He for an autograph.
Jiang He had thought her face would be memorable, but she never expected it to be so popular.
Seeing that some monks wanted autographs, everyone gradually came over.
Unlike the sasaeng fans in the fandom, monks don't even line up to get autographs.
Jiang He did not refuse. The reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect was good now, and besides, the signature had no legal effect at present, so there was no need to worry about it being stolen.
As they approached the final stop, the number of monks on the skyrail increased rather than decreased.
The monks who received the news all arrived at Skyrail 46.
Judging from the number of people on the SkyTrain alone, most uninformed people would assume they were celebrities from the entertainment industry.
Upon arrival, Jiang He bid farewell to the cultivators on the train. She moved quickly, reaching a distance of over a hundred meters in an instant.
Zhong Liyu ran as fast as she could, as if she were dodging a ghost, afraid that someone would catch up with her.
"It's a good thing I didn't enter the entertainment industry. Not everyone can do this kind of autograph work. My hand is so sore."
"It seems that being famous isn't a good thing after all." Li Ling pouted. These people are really something, they've separated her and Jiang He.
Jiang He and his group of five arrived at the A1 residential area in the East District, which has many residential buildings.
Across from the residential buildings, a large amusement park had sprung up and was surrounded by barriers. If they weren't cultivators, it would be difficult to see what was inside.
Clearly, the land is still under construction, and it most likely started this year.
"A holographic amusement park? This can't be right. I don't think I've gone to the wrong place. Isn't this land our Xiaoyao Sect's property?"
