Chapter 236: The Divine Grass Sect Surrenders (1/2)
The shopkeeper was very fast. Before Feng Tianzong had finished his meal, he walked upstairs with a cultivator. Feng Tianzong knew that the other party was a foundation-building cultivator with a sweep of his spiritual sense.
A middle-aged man with a beard on his face looked very fierce, like a fierce general, but he was cautious when he followed the shopkeeper and spoke to Feng Tianzong.
There was no way he could not be afraid, because Feng Tianzong's reputation in the world of immortal cultivation was really famous. Wan Honggang of the Wanfa Sect was said to have his Tao heart broken, and now he was completely useless. It was said that he was a little crazy.
Who is Wan Honggang? He is a well-known person in the world of immortal cultivation. He is one of the few born sacred people in the world of immortal cultivation. In just a few decades, he has entered the late stage of the golden elixir. His strength is also well-known in the whole world of immortal cultivation.
It was such a genius who, after uniting the Jindan cultivators from several sects, fought against Feng Tianzong, but was defeated by Feng Tianzong in one battle. It is said that more than a dozen Jindan cultivators were killed, and Wan Honggang himself was almost killed. However, his Taoism was also broken because of this.
Feng Tianzong had become his inner demon. Before defeating Feng Tianzong, Wan Honggang could not restore his Taoism at all. If his state of mind could not be restored, he could not practice, otherwise it would be very easy to go astray.
More than a dozen Jindan cultivators have died in the entire cultivation world for dozens or hundreds of years, but in this ordinary mortal dragon fight, more than a dozen died in one battle.
What's more, before that, many Jindan cultivators died at the hands of Feng Tianzong. Now Feng Tianzong is recognized as the number one among the Jindan cultivators. And he kills when fighting, which is not a good reputation.
Many people in the world of cultivating immortals have seen Feng Tianzong's portrait, especially the cultivators who are participating in the dragon fight this time, who are afraid that if they are blind, they will offend this vicious man and easily die.
After hearing the shopkeeper's description of Feng Tianzong's appearance, the bearded cultivator of the Shencao Sect hurried over. When facing Feng Tianzong, he was inevitably a little timid, and he showed special humility. He was afraid that Feng Tianzong would kill him if he was dissatisfied.
"Don't be afraid, our Puppet Sect has no grudges with your Shencao Sect. I called you here this time just to ask, what is the purpose of your Shencao Sect opening a restaurant in Dashang? Do you want to participate in the dragon fight and come to me to inquire about the news, or are you ready to surrender to me?" Feng Tianzong saw the other party's fearful look, so he said directly.
"Senior, we in the Shencao Sect don't participate in the dragon fight, but we don't have the idea of inquiring about the news." The bearded man looked frightened and waved his hands at the same time to show his innocence.
"So you want to surrender?" Feng Tianzong said with a smile.
"To be honest, senior, we don't have this idea. We don't participate in the dragon fight. The reason why we came here this time is also because of the catastrophe.
Now the whole world of immortal cultivation knows that the catastrophe starts from this dragon fight, so the sect sent us disciples down the mountain to the mortal world to take a look. What is the situation of this catastrophe? Try to understand it as much as possible and prepare for the catastrophe so that you can avoid it." The big bearded man explained.
The Shencao Sect is not a big sect. Although the sect is not weak, this sect is famous for not being good at fighting. Moreover, there is no cave paradise in the sect. It cannot hide in the cave paradise like the Beast Taming Sect to avoid the catastrophe.
The Shencao Sect is very interesting. It is not strong enough, but it has a large number of precious spiritual medicines in its hands. Every time a catastrophe occurs, they cannot escape it.
No matter who starts the catastrophe, they will definitely attack them. However, this sect is also very sensible. When they encounter a strong opponent, they directly offer their medicinal fields. They are very sensible and spend money to avoid disaster. No one wants to kill them.
After the big bearded man said this, Feng Tianzong understood that the Shencao Sect is a typical fence-sitter, and they will follow whichever side is stronger. Sending these disciples down the mountain is actually to see who will cause the catastrophe this time. Whoever has greater power will take the spiritual herbs to join.
Always stand on the side of the winner, even if they stand on the wrong side before, they can set things right when they see the situation is not good later. Anyway, this sect has experienced several catastrophes since its establishment, and each time it has survived the catastrophe successfully, and it can also get some benefits.
"I have taken a fancy to some of your sect's magical powers and want to cooperate with you. I wonder if anyone in your Shencao Sect wants to join Dashang and compete for the dragon?" Feng Tianzong looked at the big bearded man and said strongly.
It's not just because Feng Tianzong is a Jindan cultivator, and the other party is a foundation-building cultivator, but also because Feng Tianzong is backed by the powerful Puppet Sect, one of the major sects in the world of immortal cultivation.
And the Shencao Sect is just a medium-sized sect, with some strength in the sect, but not strong.
The big bearded man's forehead was sweating instantly, not only because of Feng Tianzong's words, but also because of the oncoming momentum. This powerful momentum, even if he is a foundation-building cultivator, his mind can't bear it. It's like a mortal being stared at by a tiger. He may lose his life at any time.
The big bearded man knew clearly that although Feng Tianzong was just asking, he might lose his life here if he didn't answer well. Now the mortals are in the middle of the dragon fight. Even if Feng Tianzong killed him, his sect would not fight Feng Tianzong for his life.
The big bearded man knew in his heart that there were only two ways in front of him now, either the sect would move closer to Da Shang, and the disciples in the sect would serve in Da Shang.
Either he joins Da Shang and becomes a member of Da Shang, he has no other choice. The magical power of the sect must not be leaked, but if Feng Tianzong is not satisfied, he may not be able to go downstairs today.
Although Feng Tianzong did not say it, he was shrouded by such a powerful momentum and could not even escape.
"Senior, the sect has no intention of participating in the dragon fight, but I, Nong Mingquan, still admire Da Shang very much. If the senior is interested, I am willing to serve you and serve in Da Shang." The bearded Nong Mingquan bowed and said.
"Okay, you people of Shencao Sect really know the times, and those who know the times are heroes. You, Nong Mingquan, deserve the title of hero." Feng Tianzong heard that the other party was willing to serve, and a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Although he is not a Jindan cultivator, Feng Tianzong is also very satisfied with getting a magical power. With the nature of Shencao Sect, they will not bet completely until the final victory or defeat. Feng Tianzong was already very satisfied to be able to get a cultivator in the foundation-building period.
In the world of immortal cultivation, no one cares about the position of emperor in the mortal world, so the cultivators directly call Feng Tianzong a senior instead of an emperor.
The emperor of the mortal world cannot control the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. So in the eyes of the cultivators, Feng Tianzong's identity as a Jindan cultivator is much more important than the identity of the emperor of Da Shang.
When talking, they all look at him as a Jindan cultivator, not as the emperor of Da Shang. After joining Da Shang, it was different. Joining Da Shang, becoming a minister of Da Shang, and obtaining the dragon energy of the dynasty, at that time, the identity of the emperor could make these cultivators pay attention.
In the eyes of the cultivators, the emperor is just a title, not important. What is important is the strength of Feng Tianzong, a Jindan cultivator. With this strength, they are convinced. In their eyes, the so-called dynasty is just an ordinary organization.
But it is not as sacred as in the eyes of ordinary people.
"I want to know what magical skills your Divine Herb Sect has for cultivating spiritual medicines, and which of these magical skills have you learned?" Feng Tianzong asked kindly. Since Nong Mingquan is willing to join Da Shang as an official, he is one of them, and people of his own will naturally be treated differently.
Feng Tianzong put away his momentum and instantly turned from a hungry tiger that eats people into a modest gentleman. His momentum was so smooth.
Nong Mingquan also breathed a sigh of relief, and his life was saved, but he also knew that the next step was to show his strength to Emperor Feng Tianzong.
Feng Tianzong would also confer an official position on him according to his ability. He has been in Da Shang for quite a while, and he also has a certain understanding of Da Shang's strength.
Especially the Tianming Xuanniao in the sky above Da Shang. As a foundation-building cultivator, he didn't even dare to look up and look directly at it. The pressure was too strong.
From this Tianming Xuanniao, he could get a glimpse of Da Shang's national strength. It was just a borderland with a population of more than one million, but it could gather such a powerful dragon energy and condense such a powerful destiny bird. He couldn't figure it out.
However, he knew that the national strength of Da Shang was so strong that he would definitely get great benefits after joining. Since he had already joined, he must strive for the greatest benefits for himself.
"Your Majesty, most of the magical powers of my Shencao Sect are for cultivating spiritual medicines, and there are only a few combat-related magical powers. The most powerful magical power is the Tongtian magical power: flowers bloom in an instant. It can make spiritual medicines bloom and bear fruit instantly, reducing countless years of accumulation.
However, because my cultivation is still low, I have only learned a few small magical powers and two advanced magical powers.
One advanced magical power: gentle breeze and drizzle, which can provide spiritual medicines with rain with spiritual energy and assist the growth of spiritual medicines.
The second advanced magical power is the dead tree revives in spring, which can make spiritual medicines bloom and bear fruit without dying, and live a second spring." Nong Mingquan said carefully.
There are several other minor magical powers, but he didn't mention them because he was afraid that Feng Tianzong would think he was being long-winded. In the eyes of a Jindan cultivator like Feng Tianzong, minor magical powers are nothing.
Feng Tianzong's eyes lit up instantly when he heard about these two advanced magical powers. Needless to say, the magical power of gentle breeze and drizzle can provide spiritual energy and nutrients to plants on a large scale. This is very useful. Whether it is Feng Tianzong's ironwood forest or the newly opened spiritual grass plantation, it can be used.
Just blending spiritual energy into rainwater is something Feng Tianzong can't do. He can achieve good weather, but he can't blend spiritual energy into rainwater and accurately use wind power to send it into the root system of plants.
There is also the magical power of dead wood coming back to life. It is really not very useful for spiritual medicines. Many spiritual medicines need hundreds or thousands of years to bloom and bear fruit, which actually doesn't save much time.
But Feng Tianzong thought that if this magic skill was used on grain, the grain would bloom and bear fruit directly again without regrowth after harvest, which would be very useful.
"There are also several small magic skills to assist in growing spiritual medicines. What are they? Tell me." Although Feng Tianzong was happy in his heart, he did not show it.
Nong Mingquan did not even dare to raise his head in front of Feng Tianzong. However, the third sister Wei Weixian, who was sitting opposite, saw the joy in Feng Tianzong's eyes. After all, they grew up together and studied together for twenty years. They were too familiar with each other, and she could see that Nong Mingquan's magic skills would definitely be of great use to Feng Tianzong.
"I know five minor magical powers. One is the Golden Wind Technique, which can blow out yellow wind. Although it is not very powerful, it is even worse than the palm thunder when fighting against cultivators. However, this magical power requires strong control and can kill some pests in the spiritual medicine field without harming the spiritual medicine at all.
Another magical power is to increase the power of the land, which can allow the land to integrate more spiritual energy in a short period of time and provide nutrients for the maturation of spiritual medicine." Nong Mingquan said in a low voice.
The magical powers he mentioned seem to be not very powerful, but in Feng Tianzong's eyes, these minor magical powers are priceless and are really beneficial to farming. If this kind of magical power is used for farming, it will be invincible.
A good harvest is just a piece of cake. Feng Tianzong wants not only a good harvest, but also to cultivate spiritual rice and high-yield food.
These two minor magical powers are all very useful magical powers. Feng Tianzong also values them very much.
"What else?"
"There is also the Enlightenment Technique, which can turn some plants into little demons. For example, I can turn weeds in farmland into little demons, so I don't need to remove them, lest they compete with spiritual medicines for spiritual energy.
However, the strength of these little demons is too low, and they can't do anything. They can't fight either. They are far worse than your iron and wood puppets, Your Majesty." Nong Mingquan said flatteringly.
"There is also a small magical power, which is to accelerate the growth of plants, but it cannot be used on spiritual medicines, as that will reduce the spirituality of the spiritual medicines. It is a low-profile version of the flower blooming in an instant." Nong Mingquan said.
It's already very good. Feng Tianzong's eyes brightened as he listened. The magical power of the Shencao Sect was too powerful. This is the Shennong he wanted!
"Okay, as the emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty, I will confer you the title of the Great Shang Fengxiang Marquis, and you will be in charge of the research and development of new grains for the Great Shang Dynasty." Feng Tianzong conferred with golden words.
As the voice fell, the golden dragon energy of the Heavenly Fate Black Bird, which was originally soaring over Liaoyuan City, was diverted again and flowed towards Nong Mingquan. As the dragon energy flowed in, Nong Mingquan's momentum also rose steadily, breaking through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building. He became a cultivator of the fourth level of foundation building.
