Chapter 2 — Growing Carrots Feeding Divine Beasts

Pippi immediately used her nose to support my calf. Tinh Nhi landed on my shoulder and used her wings to shade me from the sun. Tieu Ngu's tail wrapped around my wrist, the tip of his tail pointed towards the top of Hoang Son. "On the mountain there is a slope facing the sun, the best soil. Clear half an acre first." Three days later, at the spiritual power testing conference, we sold half a cart of carrots, earning enough for the registration fee. As soon as that type of carrot appeared in the town, there was crazy competition for buying. The vegetable spirit normally costs ten low-grade spirit stones per kilo, and my carrots - according to the price Tieu Ngu decided - are one middle-grade spirit stone per stick. The first person to buy carrots was a monk stuck in Truc Co period. In front of dozens of people, he chewed a raw carrot leaf. After chewing, the spiritual energy in his body began to overflow uncontrollably. The landscape has been loosened. He broke through on the spot. Afterwards, half a cart of carrots was bought up, yielding a total of thirty middle-grade spirit stones. The registration fee was only ten low-grade spirit stones, completely abundant. 4Xianmen Square was crowded with people. I used a cane to navigate the way, Tieu Ngu curled up on my shoulder, Bi Bi was held in my arms, and Tinh Nhi stood on my head. As soon as I entered the square, I heard people laughing. "Look at that blind man! He's carrying a big rat!" "That snake's tail is broken!" "That chicken has no feathers!" "Is this here to participate in testing the beast? I think it's more like coming to beg!" "Trash goes with trash, what a perfect match!" Pippi turned around in my arms, pointing her butt towards the source of the mocking sound. Tieu Ngu's tail wrapped around my wrist, squeezing a little tighter than usual. Tinh Nhi, as if nothing happened, used her featherless wing to help her block the falling leaf on her head. The monk at the registration place glanced at me. "Registration fee, ten low-grade spirit stones." "I have them." I held out the bag of spirit stones first. He raised his head to estimate, smiling on the outside but not smiling on the inside: "Come in." As I turned around, I heard him mutter: "A poor man who is still blind, doesn't know where he stole the money from." I tightened my grip on the stick, pretending not to hear. Do Linh Station. The first hurdle that all newcomers must overcome. Just put your hand on the stone to measure spiritual energy, the stone will test the quality of spiritual roots and the level of resonance with spiritual beasts. The stronger the light, the higher the talent. The few sect disciples who came forward all made the spiritual energy measuring stone glow. Someone emits red light. Someone emits blue light. Some people have two mixed colors. The elder measured his spiritual energy and stroked his beard, nodding: "Not bad, I was born with dual spiritual roots, entering Nhi Phong is no problem." It's my turn. Everyone's eyes were focused in this direction. I gave the stick to Pippi - the capybara struggled to hold it with its front legs - then groped forward. I put my hand up. The spiritual energy measuring stone did not have any reaction. Completely quiet. Not even a single wisp of smoke rose. "Ha ha ha ha!" "Sure enough, he's a waste! Look at his poor appearance, even the spiritual energy measuring stone would criticize him!" "Like that, you still dare to come and check? What a waste of everyone's time!" "If this blind guy can make the stone shine, I will stand on a handstand and eat dung!" I moved my hand on the spiritual energy measuring stone a bit. Still no response. The elder who measured his spiritual energy frowned: "You can go down..." Boom! The spiritual energy measuring stone suddenly shot out a stream of white light. So bright that everyone had to cover their eyes. I felt the spirit stone trembling under my palm. Not a slight vibration. It's the kind of trembling like it's about to crumble. So intense that the spiritual energy measuring platform also shook. The elder measuring his spiritual energy fell off his chair, his beard standing up: "No

how! The spiritual energy measuring stone can withstand a blow from a Yuan Ying monk! What monster is this?!" The white light dissipated. Suddenly there was no sound left. I heard Pippi say in a low voice: "On the stone stele appeared four big words - full of special features." Tieu Ngu's tail gently tapped twice on my wrist. It was a familiar movement of hers, perhaps she was very satisfied. "Elder, didn't I pass?" I asked carefully. "Passed... passed. It's over! You have passed the first level!" The elder measured his spiritual energy and swallowed his saliva. "The second level is the challenge at Van Xa Coc. Go inside and find the Snake King Grass and bring it out. Snake King Grass is the main medicinal material to refine Thien Mu spiritual liquid, and is also the token of this challenge. The person who finds it can join the fairy gate and receive a great reward." "Van Xa Coc... That place, if ten people go in, eight will die." "This blind guy definitely doesn't dare to go." "You can choose to give up. No one blames you." "What does the Snake King Grass look like?" I asked. "The whole body is silver white, glows at night, grows in the deepest place at the bottom of the cup." "I'll go." "Is this idiot going to die?" "Are you guys afraid?" I bowed my head and asked. "Not afraid." Tieu Ngu let go of my wrist and landed on the ground. Tinh Nhi flew up and landed on Pi Bi's head.
