Chapter 551 - Pocket Dimension Space
Yan Tianhen couldn’t wait to rush there, but he still resisted the impulse. “Huarong Gege, are you the one who planted these spiritual plants?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “When there is nothing to do, I plant spiritual plants to pass time.”
Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but sigh. “Huarong Gege, is there anything you can’t do in this world?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Of course, no one is perfect. How can I do everything?”
Yan Tianhen turned to look at him. “I don’t believe it.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Having a baby.”
Yan Tianhen, “...”
Yan Tianhen originally wanted to say I can’t refute, but on second thought, he thought that if Lin Xuanzhi ate a pregnancy pill, maybe he could have a baby. But once the idea appeared, he got a spiritual shock and pressed it down quickly. Who could have the ability to make Lin Xuanzhi have a baby for him?
Lin Xuanzhi said, “If you think the rest of these spiritual grass fields are useful, you can use them all. I can’t manage so many spiritual fields myself. If you think it’s a waste of time to plant them, you can hire several people to take care of them for you.”
Yan Tianhen shook his head. “I’ll do it myself. When I was in the Five Continents, I worked in a spiritual plant field for a time because I needed money for food. At that time, before I could lift the seal in my body and didn’t really know the secret to spiritual plants, I had to pull out the weeds with my bare hands. I couldn’t pull out many every day, but I do have some experience in planting spiritual plants.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded and said, “All the past suffering was for today.”
Yan Tianhen mentioned the past, and suddenly asked curiously, “Huarong Gege, where are you from? My father said that he had never heard of Huarong Gege’s name before in the Nine Lands for so many years, as if you were suddenly discovered by the prophet family overnight, and suddenly appeared in front of the world so generously.”
No one knew his origin, just as no one knew how high his cultivation was. Yan Tianhen once asked many people, but their answers were the same as him.
Yan Tianhen thought that the most likely thing he knew was that Esteemed Lan Yue personally introduced Lin Xuanzhi to Myriad Dao Academy, but his master just shook his head and said, “No comment.”
Is it really impossible to say, or is he unwilling to say? Yan Tianhen didn’t understand.
So when he saw the actual person again, he definitely had to ask.
Lin Xuanzhi smiled faintly and said, “My origin is that I came from a small world.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “No, at that time, I didn’t really get a glimpse of the edge of Earth Realm, but I had no choice but to come to the Nine Lands.”
“Why?” Yan Tianhen asked.
“Because my family’s little brother is in the Nine Lands.” Lin Xuanzhi’s voice was low and gentle, and he continued, “’I couldn’t bear to see him alone in the Nine Lands, so naturally I wanted to follow him.”
Yan Tianhen, “...”
He had heard Lin Xuanzhi mentioning his younger brother once before, but he didn’t expect that Lin Xuanzhi would mention that man again today, while still using a gentle tone.
Yan Tianhen suddenly felt jealous and was about to bubble over in his heart.
He said sourly, “Where is your brother now? I haven’t seen him come to you for so many years. It seems that he doesn’t like you very much.”
Lin Xuanzhi originally had a faint smile on his face. When he heard the words, his smile gradually disappeared.
“Indeed, he doesn’t like me, but he is also unable to like me.” Lin Xuanzhi said, looking like he didn’t want to continue this topic. Instead, he asked, “What do you want to plant here? There are some fruit trees on the mountain. If you want to plant trees, you can, but you need to bring some seedlings from the outside.”
Yan Tianhen was in a mess in the wind and said, “You can even plant trees?”
Lin Xuanzhi replied, “Leisure is boring.”
Yan Tianhen, “...”
When he saw all kinds of fruit trees with fruits hanging off them, it felt like he was dreaming.
I didn’t expect that Huarong Sword Immortal, who didn’t seem to care about worldly matters at all, still had such a grounded hobby.
There were some fruits on each of these trees. There were peaches, apples, and nameless fruits. But there were only two or three fruits on each tree.
Yan Tianhen had seen a lot of things. At first glance, he knew that it was extremely difficult to cultivate these spiritual trees. It could take decades or hundreds of years to produce a new leaf and a flower.
Exactly how long have these fruit trees been cultivated?
As if seeing Yan Tianhen’s doubts, Lin Xuanzhi took the initiative to answer the questions. “If these trees were placed outside, they would bloom in a hundred years, bear fruit in another hundred years, and the fruit would mature after a hundred more years. It’s just that Penglai Island is different from the outside world. It’s not only many times richer in spiritual Qi, but even time is slowed down.”
Yan Tianhen was stunned. “Time is slowed down? What does that mean?”
Lin Xuanzhi answered, “It means that ten days here is equivalent to only one day outside.”
Yan Tianhen’s eyes widened, “So there was actually this kind of advantage too?”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at his round apricot eyes and couldn’t help but smile. “So for cultivation, it is better here. Others only get a day to cultivate, while in here, you can cultivate for ten days.”
Yan Tianhen looked around. “What exactly is this place?”
He thought that he had a lot of knowledge, yet he still couldn’t figure out how to make time so spacious just across the sea.
“It’s a magic treasure.” Lin Xuanzhi revealed. “It’s called the Five Elements Converging Soul Plate, which can also be referred to as the soul plate. It’s my pocket dimension. If I let it cover the whole Penglai Island, it could become a new Penglai island.”
Yan Tianhen gasped. “Huarong Gege, besides me, is there anyone else who knows about this?”
Lin Xuanzhi’s heart was warm. After Yan Tianhen learned the existence of the soul plate, his first reaction was not how powerful it is, but instead, he worried about whether Lin Xuanzhi had disclosed it to others and caused himself trouble.
“Not many people know, and every one of them is someone I trust very much,” Lin Xuanzhi said. Yin Chongyue was self-explanatory. How could the existence of this soul plate be hidden from him?
There were also several people from Myriad Dao Academy who knew. After all, when Lin Xuanzhi wanted to settle down in Penglai Island back then, he naturally had to give them some benefits, and this Five Elements Converging Soul Plate and Twin Lotus Lamp, which could nourish the spiritual veins under the ocean, were naturally Lin Xuanzhi’s trump cards.
It would be an exaggeration to say that at first, Myriad Dao Academy thought highly of Lin Xuanzhi and gave him so many benefits. Benefits could only be exchanged with other benefits.
It was just that outsiders didn’t know of these secret transactions which indirectly caused the reputation of Huarong Sword Immortal to become more and more mysterious.
Yan Tianhen was relieved, “That’s good.”
Suddenly, he said, “Huarong Gege actually trusts me so much? Aren’t you afraid that I will sell you out here?”
Lin Xuanzhi said gently, “I’m not afraid of that. You can run away. Monks can run, but the temple cannot. If you really sell this place out, then you’ll have to stay with me all your life and be my attendant.”
Yan Tianhen, “...”
Suddenly, I want to sell the pocket dimension.
After a tour of Penglai Island, Yan Tianhen learned more about it. There was a river on Penglai Island. The spiritual Qi in the river was the most abundant place on the whole island, mostly because there was the Twin Lotus Lamp in it.
There were two umbrellas in Lin Xuanzhi’s house, a black and a white one. According to Lin Xuanzhi, these two umbrellas actually had sword spirits, but recently the two sword spirits had gone into closed-door cultivation while holding hands, so there were two fewer people on the island who were chattering and bickering.
Yan Tianhen also saw a big tripod placed in another room. Yan Tianhen knocked on the tripod and asked, “What is it for?”
Lin Xuanzhi originally wanted to say that it was used for bathing, but he felt that it would be disrespectful towards the divine treasure, so he said, “It’s ornamental.”
Yan Tianhen blinked. “It looks too wasteful just for decoration. I think it’s of good quality and contains a lot of spiritual Qi. It’s also good for bathing.”
Lin Xuanzhi, “...”
Because the time here was very different, Yan Tianhen immediately decided to stay here in the future if he had nothing to do.
He didn’t know why but when facing Lin Xuanzhi, although he told him intellectually not to be presumptuous and to take it easy, emotionally he was dominated with the thought of taking advantage of Lin Xuanzhi.
He yearned to be closer to this person, and this person also happened to throw an olive branch to him. Of course, he had to climb up the pole, instead of wasting such a good opportunity because of some insignificant shyness and reserve.
In the words of his dad You Ming, If you can’t take advantage when the opportunity presents itself, then you’re a son of a bitch. When you chase after your wife, you have to be utterly shameless — only then will you be invincible. It can be said that You Ming had a lot of personal experience in this aspect, and Yan Tianhen really inherited the true legacy of You Ming.
Yan Tianhen made an appointment with Lin Xuanzhi without any pressure — when he didn’t have class every day, he would spend the time in Penglai Island. Lin Xuanzhi naturally nodded and agreed.
Although the spiritual plants were ready, Yan Tianhen had to buy some seeds.
Before leaving, Yan Tianhen suddenly stopped, blinked, then looked at Lin Xuanzhi. “Huarong Gege, you treat me so well. Don’t tell me that you’ve taken a fancy to me?”
Lin Xuanzhi patted his head and said, “What are you thinking about in that little head of yours? Your master and I are old friends. He asked me to take care of you. Naturally, I will take care of you.”
The joy meter in Yan Tianhen’s heart suddenly dropped more than half. “Oh.” He explained, “I didn’t mean anything; I was just talking nonsense. Huarong Gege should never take it to heart.”
Lin Xuanzhi naturally wouldn’t care. Even if he did, he wouldn’t let Yan Tianhen know.
Not long after Yan Tianhen left, Lin Xuanzhi waved his cloud sleeve, and the original pocket dimension space came into his sea of knowledge.
Penglai Island had become something Yan Tianhen had never seen before. There were still mountains and rivers on it, but the direction and shape were quite different from what he saw. Even the two tiger cubs who Lin Xuanzhi said were “running to play in the mountains” also appeared in the two barren grass fields.
Lin Xuanzhi closed his eyes and thought, Indeed, I don’t want any unnecessary things to disturb my short time with Yan Tianhen.
