Originally, Shi Ning was still full of expectations, thinking that with the blessing of spiritual power, maybe the orange tree would grow faster. As a result, a bucket of cold water was poured on my head.

"Why can't you plant?"

The original person is mentally retarded and only knows about cultivation. He doesn't care about or know many things. Therefore, after Shi Ning traveled through time, even if he had the memory of his original body, he knew very little about many things within the sect.

Looking at Shi Ning's confused expression, Yan Huanming explained patiently: "You are still young, and you have been concentrating on cultivation before. It is normal not to know these things."

"Actually, it's not that you can't plant, it's just that with your current cultivation level, you can't do it." You can plant these in the yard at will."

Shi Ning was even more confused, "Are only monks with high cultivation levels allowed to farm?"

There are even barriers to farming. In these days, is cultivation discrimination? What about the promise that all living beings are equal?

"Actually, thirty years ago, when you were not born, there were no restrictions on planting trees, fruits and vegetables in Chengtianmen."

"Then why can't it be done now?"

Yan Huanming stretched out his left hand and pointed towards Shi Ninggang. The place where the seeds are placed is slightly gathered. The seeds that had just been buried burst out of the ground and jumped onto the table.

Looking at the seeds still stained with soil, Yan Huanming patiently explained: "There are two reasons. One is that the spiritual energy of the cultivation world is gradually depleting. These unnecessary plants will consume the spiritual energy. It is not cost-effective to only get in and not get out."

"The second is that the spiritual energy in the cultivation world is gradually depleting. It is because these plants can absorb spiritual energy for cultivation. Many years ago, a peony flower absorbed spiritual energy and secretly grew into a piranha. Several disciples died under the flower. Thanks to Xuanzhen Daozu's timely action, more disasters were avoided. Difficult."

When the words Xuanzhen Taoist were mentioned, Yan Huanming's eyes unconsciously showed a hint of admiration, and he paused for a moment before saying.

"If there are no high-level monks who diligently check these spiritual plants, it is easy to encounter danger."

"Since then, Dao Ancestor has made a rule that monks under Nascent Soul cannot grow these within the sect."

"There are some in the sect. The places where spiritual plants are placed are divided under each elder's sect, and there are dedicated personnel to guard them to avoid accidents. "

The Valley of Beasts is only allowed to have them because the spiritual energy is thin and the plants cannot be cultivated."

Shi Ning listened silently to Yan Huanming's explanation. Sighed. I thought I could start my farming life right away, but I didn’t expect that the first step would be aborted.

"Xuanzhen Dao Ancestor has been in seclusion for more than ten years. I think the next time he comes out of seclusion will be the time to ascend." Yan Huanming said.

When mentioning Xuanzhen Taoist Patriarch, Yan Huanming inevitably said a few more words, "I remember when Xuanzhen Taoist Patriarch gave the famous sect the title of Chengtian. I hope that the sect can withstand the hardships of heaven and earth, and the disciples can ascend to immortality."

Shi Ning said while holding his chin. , "With so many people, who can become an immortal? Why not enjoy life to the fullest? Even if you become an immortal, will everything go as you wish?"

Yan Huanming did not expect Shi Ning to say this, so he said slowly: "As an inheritance Tianmen disciples, cultivating immortals is our lifelong mission."

Shi Ning didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and changed the subject and said, "Senior brother, can I go to the Valley of Beasts to farm?"

"Nonsense, there are many spiritual beasts in the Valley of Beasts, and there are many dangers. , how can you go there casually? It’s because there are elders here every year that these spirit beasts are much more at ease," Yan Huanming scolded softly.

Shi Ning drooped his head with a hopeless expression on his face. Shan Zhi on the side also followed Shi Ning's example, drooping his furry head.

One big and one small are really cute.

Yan Huanming rubbed Shi Ning's head, then rubbed the mango tree, and advised, "Don't be upset. I came here today to tell you good news."

"What good news?" Shi Ning asked lazily. Dao said, apart from allowing her to farm now, other things no longer interest her.

"The leader was furious when he heard what happened to Zhao Tiantian. He imprisoned her in the Juebing Valley for ten years and asked her to reflect. She would also be tortured by sixteen thunderbolts, and half of her life would be wasted if she did not die. There will be no chance for her in the future. I'm here to trouble you."

Shi Ning nodded, at least his personal safety was guaranteed and he no longer had to see Zhao Tiantian acting coy in front of him.

"This is the elixir that the master asked me to give you. You have been in a coma for two years and your body is still recovering. These are the elixirs for spiritual nourishment."

Yan Huanming pushed the porcelain bottle over and told Shi Ning to put it away.

"Besides, in three days there will be a contract-forming conference with the spirit beast. Don't forget to attend."

"Contract-forming conference." Shi Ning muttered in a low voice.

At this time, Ning still had the impression that disciples over the age of 18 would go to the Valley of Beasts every year to find their favorite spirit beasts and take them out of the valley. They would not have to enter the valley until they formed a contract with the spirit beasts. But there are very few people who can choose a spiritual beast every year. For example, Yan Huanming, for more than ten years, has only wanted to find the Fire Phoenix. I go to the Valley of Beasts every year and get nothing.

And like Shi Ning, there are very few disciples who find spiritual beasts coming out of the valley on their first visit, and more of them go into the valley year after year.

This time, there were a total of eighteen disciples in the group who found the spirit beasts. And these eighteen disciples need to see the spiritual beasts one by one with the elders in the contract formation meeting three days later, and then they can successfully form a contract. And one will be found from all the spiritual beasts to be the leader of the year.

The selection of the top candidate is entirely decided by the votes of the Chengtian Sect disciples, so the annual contract formation meeting can be said to be a rare grand event in the sect.

After Yan Huanming left, Shi Ning lay silently on the bed, sad that his farming plan had collapsed.

When he was so sad that he fell asleep, Shi Ning suddenly heard a rustling sound. He propped himself up and looked down, and saw a camellia fished in the mouth of the kaleidum. This season is when the camellias bloom the most. By now, the water-pink petals have fully bloomed, and you can still smell the faint fragrance.

It seems that there are still elders at the Nascent Soul stage and above in Chengtianmen who plant flowers, but I don’t know which elder’s yard they came from.

"Did you give it to me?" Shi Ning picked up the flower branch and asked.

"Meow~"

Shi Ning could now distinguish what Shan Zhi meant by her various meows.

A clear, precise meow expresses agreement.

If the meow is prolonged, it means unwillingness.

"So good." Shi Ning rubbed the mango tree. Thanks to her comfort, Shi Ning's depression dissipated a lot. Thinking about what kind of lively scene the bond formation meeting will be in three days.

Chengtianmen is divided into three peaks, Baicao Peak, Hongyue Peak and Qingye Peak. Each peak is controlled by an elder who is above the incarnation stage, and one peak is divided into four mountains. Each mountain has an elder in charge, so Chengtianmen has a total of fifteen elders in charge.

This year's bond-forming conference was held in Aishan of Baicao Peak, and Shi Ning was a disciple of Baicao Peak and lived in Aishan. This saves you the pain of going down the mountain early in the morning.

As dawn broke, Shi Ning was still sleeping soundly in bed when he heard a distant bird song that pierced the sky. Disciples from other peaks have come one after another with spiritual beasts.

Shan Nai slept at the end of the bed, with her four short legs stretched tightly and her claws blooming.

"Shan Nai, get up quickly. Otherwise, it will be too late for the contract formation meeting." Shi Ning had already put on his coat, rubbed his eyes, and said to Shan Nai sleepily.

Shan Zhi shook his head and jumped up from the bed, looking like he was ready to leave at any time.

Shi Ning was quite envious that he could get up and leave without washing or dressing.

When Shi Ning and Shan Nai arrived at the top of the mountain, it was already crowded with disciples. And all kinds of spiritual beasts.

There are those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and even swimming in the water.

Shi Ning silently looked at a disciple holding a fish tank next to him. A bright red brocade was swimming happily in it.

Shan Nai hadn't eaten anything all morning, and now she was drooling just looking at this palm-sized red brocade.

The disciples on the side noticed Shan Zhi's movement and cast an unkind look. For the sake of his and Shannai's personal safety, Shi Ning silently held Shannai and stood aside.

"Shanjie, restraint, restraint. You can't eat it."

Shanjie: "Meow!" The cat was not happy.

Just when Shi Ning was giving Shan Nai an ideological education, a sudden and provocative voice said: "Junior sister, is this your spiritual beast?"

The man in front of him had a dark face and swaggered up to Shi Ning, condescending and showing off his face. asked disdainfully.

Shi Ning tried hard to recall his memory. He didn't know this person, so he asked tentatively.

"Which senior brother are you?"

"I think some people really think highly of themselves, thinking that everyone in the sect knows his black face." The speaker had a handsome face and fair skin, and looked at the black face mockingly the man said.

"Gu Chong, I'm talking to Junior Sister, don't worry about your business."

"I'm also talking to Junior Sister, some people shouldn't be too sentimental." Gu Chong smiled at Shi Ning and said softly: "Junior Sister, This person is Lu Zifan, the pretentious Lu Zifan. "

Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for telling me." Shi Ning replied obediently.

"Junior sister is getting more and more beautiful. Is this your spirit beast?" Gu Chong looked at the little black cat in Shi Ning's arms and asked.

"Yes, I brought it back from the Valley of Beasts a few days ago."

Shan Zhi was not afraid of people, so he meowed.

"So cute." Gu Chong praised.

When Shi Ning heard someone praising Shanjie, she felt happy in her heart. Before she could say a word of humility, an annoying voice said: "What's the use of being cute? Can you break through by relying on the cuteness of spiritual beasts on the path of cultivation?"

"A human-level person. " Even if you form a contract with a first-level spiritual beast, it will only hinder your cultivation."

The author has something to say:

Invincible cuteness! !
