Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 596

Chapter 596: War Begins (Happy New Year!!!)

Qingmuling suddenly began to prepare for war, and the originally low prices of elixirs and magic tools went up all the way. I don’t know how many merchants who had previously sold at a loss were so angry that they vomited blood.

Qingyu Garden.

Fei Changnong came to collect the elixir as usual.

He looked at the Qingyu grass that had multiplied five or six times to 156 plants, hundreds of Qinglong flowers, and dozens of Sansheng fruits, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face: “This newly opened medicine garden has such a rich harvest?”

If farming can bring such benefits, why would those Taoist monks join the Four Seas Hall and take charge of the four directions, or accept the dangerous fighting missions of the Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil Hall?
“Brother Fang, it’s a pity that your spiritual farming skills are not used to take charge of the medicine garden…”

Fei Changnong looked at Fang Xing with a smile on his face: “The sect is in need of a large number of spiritual objects. You have produced so much here, the reward must be generous. How about I give you 5,000 merits this time?”

“Thank you, Brother.”

Fang Xing responded with a smile.

He was doing this not only to prepare for obtaining the fundamental diagram of supernatural powers, but also to demonstrate his value.

Originally, he was not kicked out as the manager of the medicine garden only because of the sect’s rules.

But rules are meant to be broken.

When the war breaks out in the future and all the Taoist monks die in battle, there will definitely be many people who will be jealous.

But if one has made real contributions, it is impossible to be replaced.

Or rather… the ability to do bad things!

Fang Xing guaranteed that if he dared to replace him, Qingyu Garden’s production would immediately drop back to its original level.

I believe that the sect’s top leaders will weigh the pros and cons and naturally make a decision that will satisfy him.

“For this merit, each of you Qi-sensing disciples can get hundreds of…”

Fei Changnong looked deeply at Fang Xing, then looked at Dong Meir and others, and spoke.

Since he has given the bulk of the money, he naturally won’t treat these people with connections unfairly.

“Thank you, Uncle Fei.”

Dong Meir and others were overjoyed, thinking that all their hard work in farming over the years had finally paid off handsomely.

Several of the disciples looked at each other and were relieved: “Looking at the situation, we really have to fight. Although farming is hard, at least we don’t have to die… What’s more, with Uncle Fang, the income from farming has increased several times, and it is no less than going to the battlefield…”

…

Just when Fang Xing calmly handed in the task.

The edge of Qingmu Ridge.

A barren mountain.

Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky.

Burning paper figures and broken shadow puppets fell from the sky, occasionally mixed with strange wooden puppets and broken limbs.

“Blood Shadow Sect…”

Several streams of green light roared and retreated: “This time, you will kill yourself!”

“Hehe…”

The sky seemed to be covered with a layer of blood light, with layers of shadow puppets and paper figures playing and laughing strangely: “The land outside is too small to accommodate too many sects… It is better for one family to sacrifice its own flesh than for all families to sacrifice their own flesh… You Qingmuling are weak to begin with, so why not just choose you this time…”

Those rays of green light rushed forward, but could not escape the bloody sky at all, and finally fell with screams.

Paper figures and shadow puppets fell down one by one and began to build a formation on this nameless barren mountain.

Soon, more disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect arrived, treating this place as a bridgehead for attacking Qingmuling.

Before long, a strange shadow puppet stage was built.

An extremely beautiful woman stood quietly on the stage, wearing a theatrical costume, like a famous actress who was about to perform on stage.

Under the stage, there were a group of Taoist monks from the Blood Shadow Sect, all of whom bowed respectfully: “Greetings to Master Xi Lian!”

“Um……”

A man’s voice came from the beautiful woman’s mouth.

Obviously, this woman is just a superficial person who has mastered the art of painting skin: “From today on, a war is about to begin… This is a great opportunity to collect shadow puppets and living souls. We evil demons like it most when people are living in misery… “

At the end of his speech, his voice turned into a woman’s shrill laughter: “You all go down and act according to your plans. The yellow-skinned man stays.”

A group of Taoist monks quickly got up and left, as if some bloodthirsty demon was chasing them.

Only a Taoist monk with a yellow beard and a bitter look on his face remained on the stage.

Xi Lian Zhenren spoke, and his voice returned to that of a man: “How are the spies planted in Qingmuling? They used the Painted Skin Technique that I specially improved, which cannot be sensed or revealed by any magic weapon…”

“Thirteen targets have been selected and skinned successfully. Our disciples will hide their identities and enter Qingmu Ridge…”

The yellow-skinned man bowed and answered.

“Very good… In Qingmu Ridge, there is a ‘Grass and Trees Are All Soldiers’ formation, which uses the thousand-year-old evergreen tree as the center of the formation. Every additional evergreen tree will increase the power… At the critical moment, we must destroy as many as possible…”

“yes!”

“Alright, let’s go… I don’t know if this battle will allow me to successfully peel off the skin of a Yin Shen Zhenren…”

Xi Lian Zhenren chuckled and said, “It is not easy to completely peel off the painted skin of a Yin Shen Zhenren and preserve his magical powers… The previous three attempts all failed. Do you think I can succeed this time?”

A drop of cold sweat immediately flowed down the yellow-skinned man’s forehead…

…

Qingyu Garden.

“I am Fei Changqing, and I am here to meet my uncle.”

A young man with honest features and dark skin kowtowed to Fang Xing.

“Are you the person Fei Yong sent here?”

Fang Xing looked Fei Changqing up and down and found that he only had the fifth level of Qi perception cultivation. He was not impressive in appearance and there was nothing outstanding about him.

Although I was a little confused as to why Fei Yong sent this kid here, could it be because this kid was somewhat related to Fei Changnong?

However, after seeing Fei Yong’s token, he still accepted it.

“Dong Meier.”

He called the girl in the red skirt to him and said, “This Junior Brother Fei Changqing, you will take care of him first.”

This woman has always disliked farming chores and tried every possible way to avoid them, but Fang Xing wanted to throw another burden at her: “Regarding the precautions in the medicinal field, you have to do it yourself and teach him step by step…”

“yes……”

Dong Meir immediately made a bitter face. Fei Changqing also groaned inwardly when he saw several unfriendly eyes looking at him.

This woman looked troublesome at first glance. This Taoist monk, who was said to be of the same generation as Fei Yong’s grandfather, had such a bad taste in his mouth that he let this woman lead him. It was obvious that he wanted to watch the show.

But now the elder had already spoken, and he had no way to refuse, so he could only say with a bitter face: “Please give me some advice, Senior Sister…”

“Um.”

Dong Meir was also a smart girl. She naturally noticed Fei Changqing’s reluctance and started to feel a little rebellious.

She has been admired by her peers since she was a child, and when she occasionally meets someone who doesn’t take her seriously, she gets a little carried away.

After arranging the chores, Fang Xing was preparing to go back to planting trees.

suddenly!

A burst of firework shot up into the sky.

There was a strange glow shining on the evergreen trees in the valley.

“Is this… a warning from the door?!”

Meng Tiandong counted the light and his face turned pale: “Nine changes… represents the start of a war with one of the ten great sects of good and evil!”

“What?”

One stone can cause a thousand ripples!

All the disciples in Qingyu Garden looked at each other in bewilderment: “Are we really at war with the Blood Shadow Sect?”

“I heard that the Blood Shadow Sect monks are the most evil among the evil heretics. They like to skin captured monks and make them into shadow puppets… They also collect souls and make paper figures of them…”

“Fortunately, we are already disciples of the Medicine Garden and won’t have to go to the battlefield for the next hundred years.”

“Humph, this Qingyu Garden is located on the edge of the sect, but it may not be safe…”

…

“That’s enough.”

When Fang Xing saw this messy scene, his brows immediately frowned.

As the manager of the medicine garden and the person with the highest cultivation level, after he scolded, the garden suddenly became silent.

Everyone looked at him, the Taoist senior.

“Starting today, all vacations are cancelled and everyone must stay in the valley and not go out!”

Fang Xing gave the order directly: “We need people to take turns at night, two people per night!”

“Other than that, everything should be as usual. Let’s go!”

…

After assigning the tasks, Fang Xing went to an open space and started planting trees as usual.

He first dug a row of pits, then transplanted the evergreen tree seedlings he had cultivated into them and watered them.

Buzz!

As a ball of green light entered the sapling, the sapling suddenly came to life and its roots began to thrive.

For Fang Xing, the world is big, but planting trees at home is the biggest thing.

As for the threat from the Blood Shadow Sect?
Fang Xing didn’t take it seriously at all.

After all, Qingyu Garden is not an important asset. According to the principle of equality, even if the Blood Shadow Sect attacks the Qingmuling headquarters, it would be great if they could send a few Taoist monks at the initial stage.

And he estimated the enemy’s strength leniently. Even if there were several monks in the middle or late Dao foundation realm, Fang Xingming could not defeat them on the surface, but relying on the druid profession, he could still fight.

“This is the benefit of a hidden profession. On the surface, I am only a spiritual farmer at the beginning of the Dao foundation, but in fact, I have reached the middle stage of the Dao foundation…”

“Even if the enemy finds out that I am a mid-level Taoist, I still have my Druid skills hidden in secret.”

A druid at level 15 is comparable to a Yin Shen Zhenren, and Fang Xing is now level 14, which is comparable to an ordinary late-stage Taoist.

Coupled with the druids’ innate abilities that have never appeared before in this world’s monks, it is very easy to catch them off guard.

“If I’m pushed into a corner, I’ll just turn that evergreen tree into a tree man… maybe it’ll be another Yin God fighting force!”

Fang Xing thought calmly and continued planting trees.

Days passed, but the outside world was shocked three times a day!
Especially the Poison Dragon Slope and even the major Daoist families, they all knew that the Blood Shadow Sect had brazenly started a war with Qingmuling, and even burned the flames of war to the heart of Qingmuling.

For a time, almost all the monks felt insecure.

On the contrary, Qingyu Garden, after the initial panic, returned to calm and seemed very well organized.

Several months passed quickly.

Fang Xing picked up a yellow gourd, casually took a sip of the spirit wine, and glanced at the many disciples who were busy in the medicine field.

Especially he stayed on Fei Changqing for a moment longer.

“This kid is quite smart. He managed to get rid of Dong Meir… and his fellow apprentices didn’t bother him.”

He chuckled and focused his attention on one person again.

The druid sensed that something was wrong with this person: “This person…”
