Chapter 958: Chapter 297: Three Stages of the Immortal Sect! The Human World Isn’t Worth It! (6)

Of course, not all disciples at Ascension Gate are focused on cultivation; there are three who aren’t involved in cultivation and instead play around with plants.

Little Sister Jiang Sanqiu, Little Sister An Xiaoning, and Little Sister Qin Miaoyu, who joined Ascension Gate three or four months ago; they themselves aren’t cultivating, so Yuchi can’t judge their mental health through the Immortal Stone. To know whether they are healthy or not, he must personally check up on them.

"I’ll go see them."

"Let’s see if there’s anything I can help with over there."

Yuchi decided to head straight to the Immortal Grass Tower.

From afar, he could see the wildly laughing little Qin Miaoyu. This girl was squatting in the herb garden, emitting a laughter completely unfitting of her usual demeanor while striking an orchid pose—a truly uninhibited form of laughter.

Yuchi: "..."

Alright, she seems to be fine.

Qin Miaoyu smiled with immense satisfaction, saying to the equally smiling Sanqiu and Xiaoning beside her:

"The sect’s Spiritual Qi is getting richer, making it a marvelous boon for our Spirit Grass cultivation. Can you feel it? Can you resonate with this Spirit Grass? Their seething, pulsating hearts of grass are eagerly wanting to be directly made into elixirs by us!"

Sanqiu, eyes closed, placed her fingers on the leaves of the medicinal herbs, then joyously opened her eyes: "I can feel it. I can feel their plea; they want us to just cut them, to cut for eternal cure!"

Xiaoning imitated their moves, holding a medicinal herb, sensing its magnificent seven-color aura, and couldn’t help but remark, "That’s right. Since the Spiritual Qi has enriched, the growth speed of the herbs has doubled. Their proactive desire for harvesting, this impulse truly moves me to tears."

Qin Miaoyu, Jiang Sanqiu, An Xiaoning: "That’s love!"

Yuchi: "..."

Are all the plant players like this? Yuchi recalls clearly: when Sanqiu first arrived at Ascension Gate, she was quite a reserved little girl. Then, as Xiaoning came, she started changing, and now with Miaoyu here too, she’s entirely different from before.

Never seeing Sanqiu’s shy smile anymore; now, her gaze towards herbs is all green and lush.

Oh heavens.

Perhaps the herb cultivation is toxic. Thus, while the three disciples haven’t noticed him and knowing the three are alright, Yuchi steps back, preparing to slip away. At this moment, Qin Miaoyu slowly turns her head, eyes flashing behind the veiled hat.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, where are you off to?"

Yuchi: "Um, can I pass by?"

Chorus: "No, you can’t!"

Next, Yuchi gets dragged into the Immortal Grass Tower by the three girls. In his inner turmoil, Yuchi learns from them in detail about how herbs are unworthy.

Oh dear, these three girls are especially playful, meticulously arranging the entire life of herbs.

In their youth, nutrients must be sufficient; any weak herbs get eliminated immediately. Then, as they mature, they create artificial hurdles nearby, encouraging herbs to strengthen continuously. Once the herbs believe they’re ready, it’s time for direct harvest.

It’s downright monstrous—Yuchi’s innocent heart suffers a severe blow, his sympathy finally lying with those herbs.

Even resonating.

In the Hexagonal Immortal Tower, Qinghan accompanied Xuexiang to the third floor of the fourth Immortal Tower.

Seeing Xiahou Xuexiang’s excited look, Qinghan charmingly laughed:

"Little Sister, this will be your place from now on. As for the Blessed Land, Sect Leader Senior Brother has already prepared it for you, and for elixirs, just go to the Treasure Pavilion next door. Take whatever elixir you want. If you don’t know which is suitable, the pavilion has relevant records; different elixirs correspond to different realms. Feel free to ask; Sect Leader quickly approves them."

Such swift approval... Xiahou Xuexiang could hardly contain her internal shock: "So, Senior Master, who exactly is our Sect Leader Senior Brother?"

"Who is Sect Leader Senior Brother? Not anyone in particular; Sect Leader Senior Brother is simply Sect Leader Senior Brother, just our Sect Leader Senior Brother." Qinghan sweetly smiled.

While Xiahou Xuexiang was dazed and clueless, she elaborated: "Don’t worry too much. As long as you consider Sect Leader Senior Brother as your Sect Leader Senior Brother, he will undoubtedly be responsible for your cultivation. So there’s no need to be overly modest."

"Know that if you don’t take any elixirs, other Senior Sisters do. After increasing their cultivation, they make Sect Leader Senior Brother very happy. And if you’re too shy to take elixirs, troubled by such trivial matters, your cultivation growth will be very slow."

"When Ascension Gate faces trouble, other Senior Sisters will stand in front, leaving you alone in the back, shedding tears. By then, it’ll be too late to regret."

Qinghan speaks pragmatically; these are minor matters now. Once cultivation strengthens later, there’s a chance to repay Sect Leader Senior Brother. No need to nitpick over these; she was the first to arrive at Ascension Gate and witnessed its growth step by step to the present.

So her feelings are deepest.

Xiahou Xuexiang finally understood, instantly grasping the situation. In her touching state, she asked: "So are the Secret Manuals in the Treasure Pavilion too?"

"They are! Just like elixirs; whatever secret manual you want, just go to the Treasure Pavilion!"

That’s how it should be, without being miserly. Shen Qinghan felt very satisfied; of course, when Xiahou Xuexiang was moved, she added: "Also, avoid seeking peculiar use elixirs; Sect Leader won’t agree. Such as Senior Sister Wei Qingzhu before, attempting to drug Sect Leader with pink love elixirs; she was lectured by Sect Leader quite thoroughly, quite miserably."

"Couldn’t get out of bed for three days." Shen Qinghan teasingly remarked.

"..."

Xiahou Xuexiang gasped: "Is it really like this?!"

No more daring to linger.

Xiahou Xuexiang promptly rushed to fetch elixirs, aiming to cultivate thoroughly. As she joined Shen Qinghan in leaving the pavilion, she overheard crying from the Immortal Grass Tower, the sobs echoed so familiarly. Upon listening, wasn’t it Sect Leader Senior Brother’s crying?

"Sect Leader Senior Brother is crying!?" Xiahou Xuexiang was shocked.

Shen Qinghan glanced at the Immortal Grass Tower, softly advised: "Don’t go to the Immortal Grass Tower, or you’ll end up crying too."

"The force led by Little Sister Miaoyu is terrifying."

"Their methods are extremely ruthless."

"Before, when we ventured into the Immortal Grass Tower in groups, a bunch cried for two hours without stopping."

Oh my!... Is it really that exaggerated? Seeing the elegant demeanor of the Immortal Grass Tower, Xiahou Xuexiang nodded dumbfounded: "Alright, alright..."

The air filled with Yuchi’s sobbing tone.

"Boohoohoo."

"Unworthy mankind..."
