Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 335 - 277: Do You Want Me to Eat It?

Is Ling Wuce truly dumb?

Not necessarily. This old man might just have his own hidden agendas.

The Wood Spirit can influence the growth of Spirit Plants within a certain range, which is enough to make those guys at the Hundred Herbs Bureau ecstatic.

All the Wood Spirit asks is not to be disturbed at will. So, stationing cultivators outside its territory to guard it should be fine, right?

And while they’re guarding, planting a few things won’t hurt, right?

After all, it’s not much, planting a few... a dozen acres of Spirit Plants isn’t excessive, right?

"If this thing is successful, the Light-shaking Tower Master will definitely have to kneel and kowtow to me!"

Ling Wuce thought happily to himself.

Furthermore, possessing innate wisdom as a Spirit of Heaven and Earth, the Fifth Tower would not hesitate to treat it kindly.

"What do you think if the Imperial Court lets all the civilians in the East Sea Domain worship it?"

Ling Wuce stroked his chin and mused.

Han Yu instantly caught on, his expression extraordinarily peculiar.

The people of the small village received protection because they worshipped the Wood Spirit, this cunning Old Ling must be thinking of moral manipulation!

If the entire East Sea Domain worships the Wood Spirit, wouldn’t it be equivalent to having a super expert on guard, as stable as Mount Tai?

"Do you think this thing has the moral capacity for you to manipulate?"

Han Yu couldn’t help but laugh incredulously.

"No rush, we’ll take it slow and steady."

Ling Wuce waved his hand with a smile. The Fifth Tower’s plans are long-term, not necessarily for immediate results, and even if it takes a hundred and eighty years, it’s still a good thing for the country and the people.

With the frolicking nature of that Spirit Body, if the Imperial Court vigorously develops Sea Stone City into a bustling place, it might not be able to withstand the loneliness over time, and the small village will certainly integrate into Sea Stone City.

As long as the conditions are right, there’s no reason it couldn’t develop into a super city... hmm, and it could even come with a Spirit of Heaven and Earth as a super enforcer.

"I see, you two are treating each other as fools."

Han Yu laughed helplessly.

One must admit, Ling Wuce’s plan might actually be feasible.

"Did you bring a lot of people with you this time?"

Han Yu suddenly remembered something and immediately asked.

Even though Ling Wuce didn’t know what he was up to, he still replied, "Not much, just a hundred or so cultivators from the Cultivator Institute."

Mentioning this, he felt stifled. That guy Quan Xiaotong sent him out without even assigning any cultivators from the Inspectorate, and Che Dapao from the Guardian Bureau firmly refused to provide manpower. Isn’t this just pushing him to travel with people from the Cultivator Institute?

These two sly ones are definitely up to no good.

Halfway there, he figured it out. Turns out they all wanted peace and quiet. Bringing this group back means his Spirit Realm Tower will compete for people, and the Light-shaking Tower too.

So they just let him be the scapegoat, huh?

Having figured it out, Ling Wuce cursed the two old foxes in his heart, but what could he do? Even knowing this, he had to accept it willingly.

After all, the old madman from Celestial City Peak is truly enticing.

But why does Han Yu need people?

Before he could understand, he saw Han Yu taking out the remaining two pills.

Yin Yang Qi Pill: After consumption, the cultivator’s cultivation converts into Yin and Yang Qi in the chest. The sound of exhaling and inhaling can cause the Yin and Yang Qi to reverse, and the sound can harm the spirit. Side effect: Loss of speech ability.

Wind God Pill: After consumption, it invokes a Wind and Thunder Tribulation, life and death up to fate. Successfully surviving grants an Initial Tier Wind Series Divine Technique. Side effect: Total destruction of cultivation.

The Yin Yang Qi Pill is easier to deal with, but finding someone to take the Wind God Pill is trickier.

This pill is quite similar to Wang Xiao’Er’s Reversing Fate Pill, but it shouldn’t be as ridiculous.

According to its effect, it’s just a Wind and Thunder Tribulation, and exchanging a tribulation for a Divine Technique is quite a bargain!

That’s what Han Yu said to Ling Wuce.

"Then why don’t you take it yourself!"

Ling Wuce nearly dropped his eyeballs when he saw the two pills. Where the hell did these two heaven-defying pills come from?

But he’s not dumb. Han Yu said it lightly, but does he really think a Wind and Thunder Tribulation is something to be taken lightly?

Han Yu’s expression turned peculiar. If he were to take it...

He had considered it, since he has no cultivation, meaning he’d be free from any side effects.

However, what if? What if the Wind and Thunder Tribulation became as smart as a demon, adjusting its power based on the pill taker’s strength?

His current strength is miles ahead of when he was in State City. If the tribulation adjusts to his current strength...

Damn, just the thought of it makes his legs weak. It’s bound to trigger a dreaded natural disaster.

He doesn’t know if wind disasters are terrifying, but he’s sure the tribulation thunder won’t hold back. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

That option is completely off the table for Han Yu.

Thus, Han Yu is quite troubled by this Wind God Pill. It’s not impossible to find someone to take it, just pluck someone from that group at Celestial City Peak to ruin their cultivation, feed them the pill, and let them face their doom. But the Wind Divine Power would truly go to waste.

In that case, it’s better to exchange it with the Fifth Tower for a favor.

"I’ll give you this Yin Yang Qi Pill as a gift, buy one get one free."

Han Yu offered.

Ling Wuce twisted his old face. The effect of the Yin Yang Qi Pill is genuinely strong, and the side effects aren’t so daunting as to deter everyone.

Honestly, he wanted just the one pill.

He’s seen the Wind and Thunder Tribulation before, even the watered-down version was enough to leave him in a sorry state. If he were to face a proper one, it could be life-threatening.

"Wishful thinking. If you want them, take both; if not, you get neither."

Han Yu crushed his hopes immediately.

If you won’t take them, and he won’t take them, are they expecting me to?

"Where are you going?"

Ling Wuce watched Han Yu leave without a word and quickly caught up to him.

"Just going to find a poor soul to feed them the pill."

Han Yu replied without looking back, his steps steady.

"Hold on. Give me a day, I want both pills, and I’ll have Quan Xiaotong figure it out."

Ling Wuce hurriedly stopped him. The Fifth Tower has always been in need of high-level combat power. These two pills, evidently leading to top-tier combat power upon cultivation, were irresistibly tempting.

"Just one day, okay?"

Han Yu smirked and reminded him.

When they reached the beach, the moon and stars were already high, and night had fully fallen.

A group of cultivators from the Cultivator Institute had already put everyone back into the ship’s cabin, while the dead Celestial City Peak cultivators were reduced to ashes by fire, and scattered into the sea.

Ling Wuce grabbed a cultivator and gave a few simple instructions, then ordered half of the crew to board the ship and return first to report.

The remaining half of the crew entered the old site of the village, leading a group of villagers towards Sea Stone City.

Chicken Feather Gall mixed in with them, smiling brightly, and even as a Divine Gaze Realm cultivator, he was enthusiastically leading the group.

"Did you drug him?"

Han Yu looked at him strangely, curious and asked Ling Wuce.

Ling Wuce lightly chuckled, twirling his small mustache, and replied with a laugh, "I just told him about the benefits of the Wood Spirit moving to Sea Stone City."

Rumble!

The ground shook violently as the little deer transformed into starlight and returned to its original form, the towering tree causing the commotion.

Countless roots emerged from the ground, intertwining and weaving together, much like octopus tentacles, and then they lifted the massive body, moving along with the group.

Every move was like an earthquake, leaving the two men in awe.

"Truly worthy of being a Spirit of Heaven and Earth’s creation."

Ling Wuce widened his eyes in wonder.

"Han Yu, there’s something strange about Ping, come in quickly and take a look."

The voice of Glass urgently echoed from the Sea of Consciousness...
