Besides that, he also exchanged an incomplete Flying Sword to give it to Situ.
It was the Traceless Sword. It was a Supreme Rank weapon that belonged to some Nascent Soul Old Devil. Though it had been damaged, there was still a trace of a sword intent from the Old Devil in it.
If Situ had this sword, he might be able to gain enlightenment about his own Sword Path, which would lay a foundation for his future path.
Although 2 150 000 might seemed like an extremely large figure, it had been reduced to roughly 200 000 points after the exchange.
Forget it, it’s time to leave now. I suppose these items will be sufficient for a period of time.
…
Today was an eye-opening day for Meng Chu because of how Ning Fan used his contribution points lavishly.
2 000 000 contribution points were spent just like that, Ning Fan didn’t even look in pain or something, which made him incomparable to the other Old Devils whose face turned sour the moment they spend their points in exchange for the items.
He’s worthy to be called the disciple of Medicine Honor, the great grandson of Black Devil Ning, and also the number one cultivator below the Gold Core realm across the whole Yue Country! It is incomparably rare to find someone who has this kind of spirit!
Meng Chu praised internally, and handed the jade disc back to Ning Fan before he left.
As he went past the corridor in the inner hall, he smelled a trace of tea fragrance.
He came to a halt because he didn’t notice that there was a tea garden right outside this winding corridor.
Despite Meng Chu’s sluggishness, he loved drinking tea. Naturally, this tea garden was planted by him. There were quite a lot of famous types of tea planted in the garden.
But what caught his attention was the clump of jade-green weeds that were sucking the soil’s nutrients.
Weeds weren’t any particular living things because they existed in almost every garden, but to Ning Fan’s surprise, those weeds could move.
There was no doubt about it. There were around ten tufts of grass. Every tuft of grass consisted roughly of a hundred of leaves.
As he continued to observe those grasses, he noticed that one of the jade-green grass drilled itself out of the ground, raced under a tea plant and vanished into the soil, leaving only a wisp of dirt.
This is…!
His eyes twitched and were filled with surprise.
In the Mortal World, there was only one herb that was mobile. That herb was called Cordyceps.
In the Cultivation World, it was also true that there were some herbs that could move on their own. If he wasn’t mistaken, that moving herb was the thing he needed the most for cultivating the Falsifying Art Chant.
There is another name for the Spirit Refining Grass – the Travelling Grass!
How could Ning Fan not feel exhilarated about it? He must have a good fortune to discover the Spirit Refining Grass by chance.
However, it baffled him to see that such a grass existed here. Spirit Refining Grass was a strange living thing since immemorial times. Without fulfilling its conditions, its spiritual intelligence could never been unlocked. Not only does it need a gloomy and cold land, it also needed someone to preach at it every day and night.
He looked over at Meng Chu with a weird expression, thinking could this old man accidentally unlocked these Spirit Refining Grass with his daily preaching?
Meng Chu on the other hand didn’t seem joyful and sighed glumly as he saw those moving weeds.
“Ai…I have no idea what I have done to cause these weeds grow in my tea garden. They have already been here for ten years. Last time, it was just a tuft, then it increased to ten tufts. They seem to have their own intelligence. Even I, a Harmonious Spirit cultivator couldn’t catch any of them. They look shapeless, but I have no idea why they could absorb the nutrients of the soil. The same goes to their movement because they have no legs. There are so many puzzling things in this world. Ai…even the Sect Master couldn’t help get rid of these.”
Meng Chu sighed while Ning Fan replied with a faint smile. “I can help Elder Meng Chu get rid of this weeds.”
Meng Chu perked up when he heard what Ning Fan just said.
“If Elder Ning is able to get rid of these damned weeds, I…I will be willing to become your servant eternally as a way to show my gratitude!”
Drinking tea had always been Meng Chu’s pastime, but these weeds were the trouble that he couldn’t get rid of in the past ten years.
Ning Fan on the other hand couldn’t understand why there would be someone who would willing make an oath of becoming someone’s servant eternally just because of a tiny tea garden?
The only explanation for this was Meng Chu was a real weirdo.
However, he was grateful that this weirdo had nurtured such a spiritual grass, although he wasn’t really sure what Elder Meng Chu said to turn those weeds into intelligent ones.
Ning Fan stopped his contemplation and walked slowly to the tea garden. As he approached, those tufts of Spirit Refining Grass immediately drilled into the soil and disappeared.
Due to the weeds containing spiritual intelligence, they could flee and hid themselves stealthily, making it extremely difficult to catch, but Ning Fan had a way of catching them.
He took out a censer, placed a few types of spiritual herbs into it, ground them into an incense and ignited it.
Among these few herbs, wood spirit energy was the strongest smell, mixed with the scent of rosemary that used to enchant women. As the incense was lit, the wisp of smoke curled randomly and the scent spread across the entire area.
When the tufts of Spirit Refining Grasses smelled this scent, their spiritual intelligence was enchanted by the rosemary. Then, each of them jumped out of the soil instinctively and walked towards Ning Fan.
Meng Chu who was standing on one side was dumbfounded. This was absolutely the weirdest thing he had ever seen since he started the Devil Path.
He couldn’t believe that someone could lure the walking herbs into the trap.
He’s truly a master! Judging by how skillful Elder Ning is with this technique, he must have used this technique many times and enchanted thousands of beauties. If I was a woman, I would’ve been enchanted by the scent and fell into his hands…”
Meng Chu was getting more and more impressed by Ning Fan, even if he was impressed due to misunderstanding.
As the Spirit Refining Grass neared Ning Fan, he swept across his spirit sense to encompass them. He patted his storage pouch, took out a gleaming jade box, and placed all of the spiritual grasses into it and kept it along with the censer, and let out a sigh of relief.
“I’m honored that I’m able to remove them for you.” He cupped his fists at Meng Chu and left, while Meng Chu was currently staring at the tea garden that was free of those annoying weeds, looking as if he almost wanted to cry.
Ning Fan is a good man! This is the kindness that I must remember for the rest of my life! Good man will always have a good life!
Next time, I must give away some spirit tea seeds to Elder Ning.
If Meng Chu knew that those hateful weeds were the most expensive herbs since immemorial times, he would surely be at a loss for words. Too bad, he would never know the truth. It was truly terrible for one to lack knowledge.
