Chapter 29 Unstoppable
Huang Tao pulled out a lot of hair, but still couldn't figure out why the soul-soothing incense just wouldn't bloom. Could it really be a diseased plant?
There is no other way, so let’s change it.
We can't waste this night, the assessment lasts four days and three nights in total!
Huang Tao supported himself and walked towards the seedling area with difficulty. On the way, he found that his good friend Ma Wu was also rushing towards this side, looking a little hurried.
"Brother Ma? What are you doing..."
"Hmm? Brother Huang?" Ma Wu was the one who traveled with Huang Tao during the day. Seeing that Huang Tao was not cultivating on his own land, he was also a little confused. "I picked a diseased variety. I tried hard for three or four hours but it still won't bear fruit. Alas!"
"Ah? What a coincidence?" Huang Tao was stunned, "Me too!"
When Ma Wu heard this, he immediately felt much better. It turned out that he was not the only one who was unlucky!
"Brother Huang, let's go pick it out together. It's already midnight. It will be too late if we are any later."
"go!"
Many people came to reselect seedlings or seeds, but no one thought about it in other directions. After all, this is not uncommon. Who hasn't killed flowers and plants? What's more, when they were selecting, they all chose plants that were somewhat difficult to grow.
Therefore, when Zhao Xing launched the first wave of Earth Vein Energy, most people did not think about it in this regard.
Is there anything that anyone can think of and notice?
Still there.
For example, Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze, who are relatively close to Zhao Xing, are both at the third level of Ju Yuan, and are also close to each other. If you observe and compare carefully, you will still find that the anomaly is man-made.
Zhao Xing also thought of this, so he controlled the absorption efficiency of these two neighbors.
"We can't let the experts find out too early. We have to control the pace. However, the place where these two people are is full of vitality, and the vitality they use when casting spells is more refined. Even if the absorption ratio is reduced, it is still much more than others."
When facing a newbie, he would suck the opponent's energy fiercely, taking away 80% to 90% out of 10%.
Zhao Xing was very cautious towards these masters, cutting the meat with a blunt knife and boiling the frog in warm water.
"Although Earth Vein Comprehensive Element is difficult to learn and practice, there is no guarantee that someone will know this spell."
"But I don't feel anyone sucking my energy right now, so there shouldn't be another Lao Liu around."
The novice couldn’t recognize it, and the expert didn’t notice it.
Although people kept expressing doubts in the dark, everything was developing as Zhao Xing expected.
As time went by, the vital energy gradually accumulated, and the diamond bamboo at the center of the spell finally began to move.
At one o'clock in the morning, the tips of the bamboo shoots pushed through the surrounding soil, and a faint golden light emanated from them.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xing immediately created a dark cloud to water the golden bamboo and help it grow.
At 2:00 pm, the bamboo continued to grow, the lines on the leaf shell became thicker, and it grew to half a meter high.
At three quarters past the hour of the first lunar month, the height of the bamboo doubled to one meter, and the first bamboo node appeared, which was a sign of leaving the seedling stage.
At four quarters past the hour of the Chou, the second bamboo node appeared on the Golden Bamboo, marking the complete entry into its growth phase.
At this point, things are out of control.
As the saying goes, bamboo shoots emerge after the rain and are unstoppable.
Although the Vajra Bamboo is of a high grade, it is still a bamboo. With the large amount of vitality provided by the earth's veins, sufficient nutrients, and a suitable living space, it immediately began to explode.
When the first bamboo node appeared, it was only one meter high, but a quarter of an hour later, the second bamboo node appeared and the height suddenly climbed to four meters!
Afterwards, the leaf shells that wrapped it began to fall off, and two bamboo nodes grew almost every quarter of an hour, and it was growing taller at a speed visible to the naked eye!
By the end of the Yin hour, each of the twenty golden bamboos was more than fifty meters tall and more than 30 centimeters in diameter!
It is golden yellow all over, even its leaves and branches are the same.
Twenty golden bamboos are lush and green, and this place has become a golden bamboo forest!
When the morning light broke, it shone on the Vajra Bamboo Forest, making it bright and shining. Everyone noticed this scene.
"Huh? Such big bamboos!" "What's going on? Why did so many bamboos appear overnight?"
“They are so tall. Even though there are only twenty of them, they look like a bamboo forest!”
"It's golden yellow, so beautiful. What kind of variety is it?"
"It's golden in color and over fifty meters tall. Could it be a second-grade, top-grade diamond bamboo?"
"What? Second-grade superior quality? And twenty of them in one go?"
"Whose territory is that?"
"It was grown by Zhao Xing from Huailiuyuan!"
In the examination area, all the officials were talking about it.
There was no way not to pay attention to it. At a height of fifty meters, it was too conspicuous, enough for all the officials present to see it. It was hard not to notice it.
"It was cultivated to maturity overnight?" Li Chengfeng in the west frowned as he looked at the figure under the golden tree forest. "Although bamboo has growth advantages, this is too exaggerated."
Seeing this golden bamboo forest, he had a vague sense of crisis that he was about to be overtaken by others.
"How did he do it?" Zong Shichang was dumbfounded. "Golden Bamboo is a second-grade top-grade bamboo. It's hard to grow even one, let alone twenty!"
"I don't know." Li Chengfeng shook his head. "Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze are close, maybe they know something. Brother, why don't you go and ask around?"
Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze also looked confused at this time.
Because they didn't know much, Zhao Xing's actions concealed the movements during his growth period, and it was not until daytime that they were revealed to everyone.
Not only the golden bamboo, but also the green vines are covering the surface.
Judging from the cultivation results of these two plants alone, Zhao Xing can be said to be the leader at the moment!
In comparison, their performance was much worse.
Wen Nanxing cultivated four types of plants, namely, upper, upper, middle, and lower level two.
The lower-quality second-order plants have entered maturity, but the middle-quality ones are still progressing slowly and are still in the growth stage.
As for the second-grade top-quality 'Seven Star Flower', it hasn't even started to bud.
"My second-grade top-grade products haven't even entered the growth stage yet, but he has already cultivated so many mature second-grade top-grade products?" There was a hint of surprise in Wen Nanxing's eyes.
"There's a problem, a big problem!"
Tang Wanchun frowned and calculated with his fingers. He was calculating the spell effects of his student Xiao Ze and the growth cycle of the plants he was cultivating.
When he got to the end, he was suddenly startled, stood up, and looked carefully at the blue plant in the mud.
"Something's wrong! Logically, Xiao Ze's Ice Lotus should have grown a fourth lotus leaf by now, but why is it only two now?"
Another official next to him also had a flash of thought in his eyes. He was Wen Nanxing's teacher Pang Yuan: "Wen Nanxing's spellcasting effect has also been greatly reduced."
"Besides, starting from midnight, people frequently went to the seedling area and returned to replant. Many people even killed their own plants."
Tang Wanchun said, "One or two cases would be fine, but how could such a thing happen to so many people?"
"There is only one possibility, the earth's vitality has been affected!"
Then the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but blurt out: "Earth Vein Zong Yuan!"
Chen Shijie smiled softly upon hearing this: "Why are you two so anxious? Are you trying to remind your students?"
Tang Wanchun and Pang Yuan hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "We dare not, but we did not expect that there is someone among the officials who can perform the Earth Vein Comprehensive Yuan."
Chen Shijie smiled and waved his hand: "Then sit down and wait and see what happens."
