Chapter 1286: Chapter 22: Longyan Achieves Merits! Anye Returns Chapter 1286: Chapter 22: Longyan Achieves Merits! Anye Returns …

Jiang Zhencang felt such envy in his heart.

How did that saying go? Oh right, “starting is like taking flight.”

If that were the case, perhaps the Sacred Land would be more than twice as strong as it is now, and he might already be at the Mid Transcendent Void Realm stage; with good luck, he might have even suppressed the Yinsha Sect!

Alas, there are no ifs in reality!

In fact, it was precisely because Jiang Zhencang’s family had limited resources and he faced difficulties getting started, having to rely on himself for everything, which he found exhausting, that he hoped his disciple Yuxuan would have a higher starting point.

On the viewing platform,

For a moment, all the big shots harbored their own thoughts.

In the trial field, the development of each candidate’s trials continued to progress.

As Wang Licui and Wang Yingxuan used combat as a means to grow, like a snowball rolling larger, the other candidates also found their own methods to enter the development stage.

For instance, Green Fern demonstrated exceptional plant cultivation talent, and after several failures, she finally developed cold-resistant plant seeds, along with some for defense and combat, and began to promote them externally.

Meanwhile, the future Luo Qiu Empress went out alone, specifically to challenge bandit leaders one-on-one, subsequently instilling them with her ideology.

In time, by wielding her exceptionally strong “imperial aura,” she subdued several bandit organizations, making them submit under her Empress command, rapidly expanding and strengthening her team.

There was no help for it; she had the demeanor of an emperor so utterly that she seemed more a reincarnation of an emperor than Emperor Longchang himself.

When those bandit leaders pledged loyalty to her, they all felt destined to be significant ministers under a dragon, walking a noble path of being honored as marquises, their hearts burning fervently with excitement.

Even Bao Bucheng had his own unique approach. His excellent knowledge in herbal medicine and Alchemy skills quickly led to the development of a variety of potions such as hemostatic and potential-enhancing Dragon’s Blood Spread, rapidly forming a “Dragon Blood Army”!

As for Wang Liyao and Gong Yang Ce and others, they took a thoroughly righteous comprehensive route–cultivating, developing, building, exploring, and campaigning. Though they weren’t the fastest in any area, they were the most stable. Such all-round development meant a very low chance of failure in the future.

Slightly different was that Wang Liyao was more stable than Gong Yang Ce, with better control over details and a better overall sense of the situation.

Every candidate for Saint or Saintess gradually resolved their initial crises. Though there were now some differences in their success so far, the road ahead was still long, and who would have the last laugh was still unknown.

…

Meanwhile,

In the Extreme Western Land.

Snow peaks stood towering, Evil Qi stretching continuously, as if unchanging through the ages.

Yinsha Sect.

Not far from the Sacred Temple, there was a slightly shorter but equally perilous peak, named “Snow Spear Peak.”

The top of Snow Spear Peak was covered with snow all year round, the winds cutting and cold. Closer to the summit, there was a significant Evil Cave, perpetually filled with Evil Qi, blending into a dense coldness.

Centered on the Evil Cave, a sizable courtyard was constructed, the houses built from Yin Spirit Wood Material, intricately carved and imposing.

For ordinary cultivators, living here was undoubtedly torment; one couldn’t stay long before the Yin Sha invaded the body, causing immense pain.

But for disciples of the Yinsha Sect, such residences were a geomantic treasure, excellent places for cultivation.

This place was originally the residence of Qi Hongzhao during his early years as a Saint, and after he became a Sect Master, the courtyard was sealed and had never housed anyone else.

Now that Wang Longyan had arrived, Qi Hongzhao unsealed it, had it carefully refurbished, and named it “Minghuang Residence,” indicating his expectations for his disciple Wang Longyan.

At the moment,

In Minghuang Residence, several disciples dressed in Yinsha Sect uniforms were watering the Spirit Plants in the garden. Their focused expressions, utmost care, and caution seemed like they were not tending plants but serving ancestors.

Beside them, a woman in a light purple dress watched their actions.

She had a gentle and charming face, exuding a delicate and tender vibe, yet her tone was very strict.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, these ‘Blue Purple Phoenix Bells’ seeds were brought from her hometown by Master Ruobing, and there aren’t many of them. Every single plant must be perfect without any fail. Everyone, give your utmost attention–if even one petal is missing, I’ll demand your lives in compensation!”

As her words fell, the disciples’ faces turned pale, and their actions became even more cautious.

Because the Yin Sha Qi within the Yinsha Sect was intense, it suited only a small number of Yin Sha attribute Spirit Plants. Beyond those, not many types of Spirit Plants could survive, meaning they were much more precious here than outside.

Those delicate species that had traveled from distant lands had to live inside an Array Isolation Cover, often dying at the slightest issue. Even those that could be planted in the ground needed meticulous care; the slightest misstep could lead to wilting.

Here, even the water used for irrigating the Spirit Plants was specially configured Spirit Spring Water, with specific disciples taking turns to tend the plants vigilantly twelve hours a day, fearing any oversight.

After finally finishing tending the Spirit Plants, the disciples let out a slight sigh of relief, quietly wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

Under the sunlight, the watered Spirit Plants radiated greenness, delicate blue-purple flowers blooming on slender stalks, strikingly beautiful.
