Chapter 52: Questioning And Shocking Change
Within the Hall.
All Cultivators spoke one after another, actively answering Elder Zhuang Xiran’s questions.
“Cultivating Spirit Plants is to seize the essence of Heaven and Earth, to control the fortune of all things in one’s hands, which is infinitely joyful.”
โฆโฆ
After answering for a while.
Elder Zhuang Xiran’s gaze swept across everyone, and he casually pointed and said, “The Cultivator over there, please come up and answer.”
Qin Ming was listening with great interest and didn’t plan to speak.
He saw that Elder Zhuang was pointing in his direction, so he couldn’t help but look around.
But he found that the gazes of all the Cultivators had gathered on him.
Qin Ming suddenly reacted.
Elder Zhuang Xiran was obviously pointing at him.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, being watched by so many people made him feel a strange feeling of unease.
How could it be so coincidental?
However, he wasn’t flustered at all, calmly and composedly got up from the chair, and after a little thought, said:
“The Way of Spirit Plants requires one to be familiar with the various properties of the crops, control the Spirit Rain, remove weeds and eliminate insects, and also interact with the Spirit Field and Spirit Soil every day.”
“It’s just farming.”
As the words fell.
There seemed to be a slight silence in the air.
The expressions on the faces of the Cultivators present began to show strain, and they let out bursts of chuckles.
But some of the Cultivators nodded, seemingly approving of his words.
“Hehe, sit down.”
At this moment, a smile rarely appeared on Elder Zhuang Xiran’s face.
It made all the Cultivators present stunned, and some of them were like the second-rank monk, not knowing what to make of it.
“Actually, what he said is not without reason, this Spirit Plant Path, is actually no different from farming.”
“It’s justโโ”
“The common people cultivate five grains and mixed grains, using them as the source of sustenance.”
“We, the Cultivators, farm, which is to turn it into provisions on the Immortal Path.”
โฆโฆ
Just as Qin Ming was about to sit down.
He found a Cultivator to his left, staring at him intently.
Qin Ming looked up, and their eyes met, and he suddenly felt terrible.
It was actually Jiang Kun!
‘This Bastard, why did he come to join in the fun of the Spirit Plant Master’s lecture?’
Instantly, Qin Ming’s nerves tightened, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
The four subordinates sent by Jiang Kun had already been destroyed by him.
The other party couldn’t guess that he did it, could he?
Otherwise, he would have some Misgivings.
Thinking of this.
Qin Ming sat back in his chair.
At the same time.
Jiang Kun, sitting in front, also had his eyebrows furrowed, his expression unpredictable.
Although he had a hint of suspicion.
But no matter how he imagined it, he couldn’t connect the deaths of the four in the Mid-Late Stage of Qi Refining with a Spirit Farmer.
“Well, after the lecture is over, I’ll go test this kid.”
Jiang Kun made up his mind, glanced at Qin Ming, and turned his head to look forward again.
Qin Ming’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, he had a bad Premonition.
The Hall returned to Peace.
Elder Zhuang Xiran began to lecture on the Way of Spirit Plants.
Although Qin Ming’s Mind was disturbed by the appearance of Jiang Kun, he didn’t pay too much attention.
He listened carefully to the lecture of Elder Zhuang, this Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master.
After listening to one class.
Qin Ming was more and more amazed, and he gained a lot.
Elder Zhuang’s Spirit Plant Attainment was so high that the Cultivators present listened with rapt attention.
The public lecture lasted for a whole day.
Finally, Elder Zhuang Xiran also answered some questions from the Spirit Plant Masters present.
“Okay, today’s Spirit Plant lesson will be taught here for now.”
“There will be a part of the lecture content in the evening.”
“Tomorrow, the Old Man will Test you all.”
“You can stay at the Receptionist’s Courtyard for one night.”
“But the subsequent test content is limited to Spirit Plant Masters of Mid-Grade and above, the rest of you should all disperse.”
After Zhuang Xiran said this, he got up and left.
The Cultivators in the Hall also left one after another.
Qin Ming also planned to Slip Away first.
But as soon as his one foot stepped out of the hall door.
A familiar Sound came from behind him.
“Fellow Daoist Qin, don’t be in a hurry to leave!”
Qin Ming turned around and saw, sure enough, it was Jiang Kun.
Jiang Kun narrowed his Phoenix Eyes slightly, stared at Qin Ming, and coldly asked, “My incompetent Junior Martial Brother Chen Zi’ang, was Destroyed Corpse and Eliminate Traces in the Back Mountain near the Spirit Field.”
“I wonder, what is Fellow Daoist Qin’s opinion on this?”
After saying that, he stared intently at Qin Ming, observing his Reaction.
Qin Ming’s face showed a look of surprise, and he was shocked, “Ah? Is This Matter really so?”
Jiang Kun stared at Qin Ming, and continued to question, “Do you really not know? I heard that before Junior Martial Brother Chen had his Accident, he came to find you.”
“That’s right, Senior Brother Chen did come to me one day to discuss considering joining your Pavilion.”
“After that, I haven’t seen him for a few Days.”
“Then, Fellow Daoist Qin, where did you get the Jade Talisman in your hand?” Jiang Kun continued to ask.
“This Jade Talisman of mine was given by Pavilion Master Gu, if Senior Brother Jiang doesn’t believe it, you can also go ask them.” Qin Ming was not blushing nor panting when he lied.
Anyway, Jiang Kun and Mirror Snow Pavilion were mortal enemies, so it was unlikely that they would go to Gu Qingzhao to confront each other.
Qin Ming talked calmly with a straight face.
He paused, and suddenly changed his tone and asked, “Senior Brother Jiang, you wouldn’t suspect me, this Spirit Farmer, would you?”
Jiang Kun’s gaze was uncertain, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly smiled and said, “Hehe, how could that be?”
“I just have some doubts in my heart, just asking casually.”
Qin Ming heard this, and with a smile that wasn’t a smile, cupped his hands towards the other party and said, “Since there’s nothing, then I’ll take my leave first.”
He was Certain, the other party didn’t have any Evidence in hand, and was only Suspecting.
And he didn’t dare to Blatantly do anything to him within Spirit Feather Sect.
Then Qin Ming followed the other Spirit Plant Masters, entered the nearby Receptionist’s Courtyard to rest for a while, and ate some tea and dinner.
After Qin Ming left.
A Cultivator who was following Jiang Kun stepped forward and asked, “Senior Brother Jiang, what do we do? Do we need to…”
“Not in a hurry. Wait and see.”
“Elder Zhuang’s matters are important these two Days, don’t cause any trouble.”
“We can’t take action within the Sect.”
“I’ve also been puzzled, how exactly did Junior Martial Brother Chen and the other four die.”
“You keep a close watch on this kid, and we will decide after the Elder’s matter is done tomorrow.”
Jiang Kun ordered with a Gloomy face.
“Yes!”
โฆโฆ
Qin Ming was drinking something, and at the same time, he was pondering the matter just now in his mind.
He already had Calculations in his Mind.
An hour later.
The lecture started again.
This time, the Spirit Plant Masters remaining in the Hall directly decreased by two-thirds.
Only about a hundred Cultivators remained.
Qin Ming looked around the Hall and found that Jiang Kun hadn’t come either.
Not long after.
Elder Zhuang Xiran walked into the Hall again.
He looked at the Cultivators present, nodded, and started lecturing again.
At this moment.
Boom!
Just as Elder Zhuang was lecturing halfway, there was a Earth-shaking Loud Noise outside!
The Cultivators present were shocked, and for a moment, Panic took over their Minds.
