Chapter 453: Chapter 32: No Idle People on Silver Sword Peak [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

As everyone left the Rune Secret Realm, they saw the Tianshu Pavilion’s Elder waiting there.

"Warrior Feng said there’s some urgent matter at home and had to leave first." He said to the everyone with a beaming smile.

Chu Liang nodded, indicating his understanding.

If he were Feng Chaoyang, after encountering such a huge barrier in the Rune Secret Realm, he wouldn’t want to stay a moment longer either.

"How was it?" Tianshu Pavilion’s Elder asked, "What did you all gain?"

Ye Yongxing didn’t say much, just quietly unveiling the black Killing Rune, demonstrating it in front of the elder.

He lightly pushed the rune out. Everywhere it passed, life was extinguished. The grass withered instantly, the wall corroded as if it had undergone thousands of years. If a human were to receive this, the outcome would be obvious.

Such a powerful force.

Chu Liang compared it silently in his heart. His own Reincarnation Rune was of course more miraculous, but so far, other than making berries open their mouth and shout obscenities, it didn’t have much other use.

The Killing Rune was clearly capable of rapidly enhancing combat power.

"Our gains are the same as Young Hero Ye’s." Xi Miaoxian and Situ Guanhai also showed their Killing Runes.

Only Monk Pu Shan’s face was strange, "My mentality and cognition have greatly improved."

"So, you gained nothing?" The Tianshu Pavilion’s Elder said.

Monk Pu Shan looked dejected.

But he couldn’t complain. After all, Chu Liang didn’t ask him to copy the answer. Who knew that at the end, others who took a different path gained something, while he ended up empty-handed.

He could only blame his poor comprehension skills.

Because Chu Liang quickly revealed a golden rune, attracting everyone’s gaze.

"Isn’t this the legendary golden rune?" Xi Miaoxian exclaimed: "Young Hero Chu, you got it!"

"I was lucky." Chu Liang smiled, "As for its effect, I can’t demonstrate it well because this rune consumes a lot of cultivation."

Everyone thought he was hiding something, so they didn’t ask further. After expressing their surprise, they all went their separate ways.

Hiding was one thing. But only Chu Liang knew that this thing does consumes a lot of cultivation. To refine a single berry, he had to use up half of his Qi Sea, and this berry only contained a minuscule amount of spirituality.

If he were to refine an object with slightly higher spirituality, draining all of his cultivation would be a piece of cake. It could be said that such a miraculous act was naturally expected to consume more.

Although the secret realm trial was not long, the entire process was brain-racking. He was also a bit tired, so he wanted to rest a bit once flew back to Shu Mountain.

Unexpectedly, Shang Ziliang found him soon after.

"What’s the matter?" Chu Liang asked.

"There’s an important matter to talk about. When I heard that you were back, I rushed over." Shang Ziliang said with a troubled expression, "Recently, both you and Lin Bei are not here. We few are looking over both Silver Sword Peak and Red Cotton Peak, and we’re a bit overwhelmed... "

He explained the manpower shortage challenges to Chu Liang.

He had previously advised Chu Liang to recruit more disciples from Shu Mountain. This way, it could not only maintain operations but also expand the size many times over.

But Chu Liang had always felt that cultivators should prioritize cultivation. He worried that involving too many Shu Mountain disciples would affect the overall strength of the sect.

After all, not everyone had a few Big Head babies working day and night like him, leaving plenty of free time.

"You guys really had a hard time these past few days." Chu Liang said, "I’ll try to figure something out."

In the recent days, the three youngsters at Yunyao Peak were indeed busy. He couldn’t always be mowing these three people down.

...

A few days later.

Inside the orchard of Silver Sword Peak, Chu Liang faced the jungle of Gold Pattern Flowers, plants, and stones, then cleared his throat, "Alright, time for us to have a meeting."

Considering there was obviously nobody else around, his declaration seemed quite bizarre.

However, the next second, a chorus of responses echoed back, "Another meeting? Why do we have meetings every day?" "So annoying!" "Have you even watered us yet before calling a meeting?" "..."

These comments spectacularly came from the flowers, plants and trees in front of him!

After considering the lack of manpower, Chu Liang suddenly realized... these tasks of managing the orchard and guarding the streets, didn’t necessarily need a cultivator to do them. The reason Shang Ziliang wanted to use disciples was simply because the ones doing these tasks needed to be "trustworthy".

Thinking further, as long as they were trustworthy, did they really need to be human?

Fortuitously, he possessed a Reincarnation Rune that could bestow life.

However, granting life at the level of that berry wasn’t adequate, because its spirituality was insufficient for it to communicate normally with humans.

So, he targeted the superior Gold Pattern Flowers. Compared to each individual fruit, the mother flower hosted an evidently richer amount of spirituality.

He tried to animate a Gold Pattern Flower.

Then he listened to the flower babble for an hour... mostly past grudges about how Chu Liang would take all the fruits it bore away to sell, and bring a bunch of people to trample the flowerbed daily... Now that it could finally speak, it took the opportunity to unload its grievances.

Chu Liang frowned, listening to its complaints.

Why did all the fruits and flowers grown on Silver Sword Peak have such temperaments?

Could it be that they were influenced by the Peak Master?

However, as long as they had enough spirituality to communicate normally, they could serve as spy agents. If scattered throughout the orchard, this would save a large amount of manpower.

Over the past few days, he had tirelessly chosen and awakened dozens of spirit plants in the orchard. They would serve as Chu Liang’s "informants".

"Quiet, quiet everybody," Chu Liang waved his hand, "The focus of today’s meeting is to tell you to stay silent when unnecessary! If there’s no illegal activity, just peacefully blend as normal plants and not disturb the visitors’ experience. If someone engages in illegal activity, then raise the alarm abiding by your duty."

"Once our garden grows and strengthens, you’ll be our first batch of internal staff. By then, I’ll provide you with Cultivation Techniques to practice and supply you with Spiritual Elixir and Spiritual Medicine to enhance your cultivation. Becoming a real demon is also within reach!"

This statement struck a chord with the plants.

Although they had been awakened by Chu Liang, the amount of spirituality he could provide to them was limited, so they couldn’t compare to self-cultivated Demon Beasts. Only by transforming into a real demon would they be considered successful cultivators.

And all of this depended on Chu Liang.

Therefore, they could only accept the tasks assigned by Chu Liang.

Looking at this batch of wobbly "employees", Chu Liang couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Thanks to the gift from the Talisman Heavenly Master.

Finally, he has found diligent, hardworking employees who don’t need days off, who can survive on photosynthesis, as long as they were indeed plants, nothing was impossible.

In the future, he planned to spend more time attempting to transform all the plants on Silver Sword Peak into his informants. Once every plant and rock heeded his command, he could genuinely uphold that Silver Sword Peak doesn’t support idlers... not even idle objects.

The tree at the entrance must work too, and the rocks on the mountain must pay rent!

But all these were trivial affairs.

When his cultivation level increased, he planned to bestow a spirit onto each of his magic artifacts.

The biggest difference between a divine artifact and a non-divine artifact, besides power, was that divine artifacts always had an artifact spirit.

Although having an additional artifact spirit would not affect the quality of a magic artifact, he could try to provide Cultivation Techniques to the artifact spirit, enabling them to cultivate independently. That way, as the artifact spirits became stronger, the magic artifacts themselves would also become stronger.

If that day came, even if he couldn’t switch to a stronger magic artifact, his own magic artifacts would spontaneously strive to cultivate and become stronger.

That would be absolutely wonderful.
