Chapter 410 Strange Flowerpot
Just as Su Yang arrived at the gates of the Underworld, she saw a long line of cultivators.
There are all kinds of cultivators, including ghost cultivators, spirit cultivators, demon cultivators, and even cultivators from the immortal realm!
A look of surprise flashed across Su Yang's eyes.
She thought she had arrived early enough, but she didn't expect that someone else had arrived even earlier than her.
And so many people?!
The gates of the underworld burst open with a roar in the next instant.
Several burly ghost messengers, exuding a sinister and eerie aura, appeared before the crowd.
Among them was a white-robed ghost cultivator with a long tongue and unfathomable aura. He merely glanced at the crowd of cultivators in front of the Underworld Gate and frowned slightly.
"Why are there so many people?"
The first cultivator, with a fawning expression, answered quickly:
"It's all thanks to the great reputation of the Lords of the Underworld of Naihe City. How could we, who know a little about spiritual medicine, not come when you give the order?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators behind him couldn't help but curse him inwardly, thinking how good he was at flattery.
The long-tongued ghost cultivator was clearly pleased with this flattery.
The white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator snorted, "That mouth of yours is quite sharp!"
"You! And all of you! Come with me."
"Everyone else, wait orderly outside. If you cause a disturbance, you'll have to consider where you are in this world!"
The white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator randomly selected a few people and sent them into the underworld first, then threatened those who weren't selected.
Although there are no rules prohibiting fighting in Naihe City, no one dares to cause trouble in the place where the true master of Naihe City is the Underworld.
There are a total of ten oases on the entire Star Luo Island. Five of them were created by people from the Immortal Realm, and the other five were created by people from the Underworld.
Naihe City is one of the five oases of the underworld.
Who dares to offend the Underworld of Naihe City?!
That would mean they could no longer stay on Star Luo Island!
As soon as the white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator spoke, everyone immediately fell silent and waited patiently outside the Underworld in an orderly fashion.
Su Yang arrived at the right time, neither too early nor too late. After the first batch, she waited for another batch, and then it was her turn in the third batch.
After the first two rounds of assessments were completed, some of them looked excited and thrilled, while others looked somewhat dejected.
Su Yang followed the third group of cultivators into the Underworld, and was soon led by the ghost messengers to a house filled with mist and ghostly energy.
This room was a hidden world. Su Yang glanced around and found that the room occupied a huge area and was not nearly as eerie as it looked from the outside.
The walls and floor tiles of the entire room are made of Xingluo Stone, which is very bright and has a high-end feel.
It truly lives up to its name as a room within the underworld.
Su Yang even suspected that the Underworld had created a separate space here.
Then, the white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator reappeared in front of Su Yang and the others.
His sharp gaze swept over Su Yang and the others before he slowly spoke:
"The Soul-Nourishing Tree is of utmost importance, and it is definitely not something I can let you see so easily. Otherwise, if you mess around and worsen the situation of the Soul-Nourishing Tree, who can I complain to?"
Su Yang and the others naturally agreed.
Immediately afterwards, the white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator nodded, and his long tongue suddenly continued to extend and grow larger.
In just a few breaths, the tongue opened wide enough to surround Su Yang and the others.
Su Yang narrowed her eyes slightly; this tongue was also composed of divine soul.
The fact that the ghost cultivators of the underworld can utilize their divine soul to this extent shows that they are truly dedicated to cultivating their divine soul.
They are indeed quite something, far beyond what ordinary cultivators like them can compare to.
Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help but lick her dry lips.
If she could learn even a tiny bit of the cultivation methods for the soul in the underworld, she would have gained a lot.
The white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator waved his long tongue in the air, and in the blink of an eye, a strange flowerpot appeared in front of everyone, including Su Yang.
The flowerpot appears to be empty.
The white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator then spoke up:
"Whoever can make the thing in this flowerpot sprout within one hour will pass the test."
But as soon as he finished speaking, someone raised an objection.
"My lord, there's nothing in this flowerpot!"
The white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator glanced disdainfully at the person who had raised the question, "If I say it exists, then it exists! How dare you question it?!"
"If none of you can grow this thing in the flowerpot within an hour, then get out of here and stop wasting my time."
Then, he snorted coldly and disappeared from the house.
Su Yang and the others were left staring at each other in confusion.
Su Yang carefully examined the flowerpot in front of her, also feeling somewhat puzzled.
Star Luo Island is devoid of spiritual energy, so she cannot release her own spiritual power to investigate.
She then released a silver worm and quietly probed it into the soil inside the flowerpot.
But the flowerpot was only that size, and the Silver Soul Insect searched it thoroughly but couldn't find anything out.
Su Yang wasn't the only one struggling with this; everyone else was also perplexed by the empty flowerpot filled with soil.
"There's nothing in this flowerpot. Isn't that ghost messenger making things difficult for us?"
"Just say you don't want us to check the Soul-Nourishing Tree, instead of making me come all this way for nothing!" a cultivator said angrily, clenching his fist.
However, the next moment, he screamed and was kicked out of the house.
The cold, sinister voice of the white-robed, long-tongued ghost cultivator reached Su Yang and the others' ears.
"Hmph! You dare to talk behind my back? If you can't make the things in the flowerpots grow, then you'd better get lost!"
Seeing the fate of the cricket-loving monk, the others dared not grumble in their hearts and focused on observing the flowerpots in front of them.
Su Yang touched her chin, completely at a loss for what to do.
Since there was nothing in the flowerpot, even if she had the content of the Divine Farmer's Guide to Cultivation, it was like hitting a cotton ball.
Finally, as if possessed, Su Yang stretched out a delicate hand and placed her palm directly on the soil in the flowerpot.
This was not something Su Yang did intentionally, but rather an action she performed subconsciously.
For some reason, she just wanted to make that gesture.
Feeling the coolness of the soil spreading through her palms, Su Yang suddenly had a different feeling.
as if...
It was as if she had become one with the soil in the flowerpot.
Su Yang quietly closed her eyes and began to sense the movement within the soil.
You don't know until you feel it, and once you do, Su Yang immediately sensed something was wrong with the soil.
There is indeed something inside the soil.
However, it is hidden very well. Within this spiritless Star Luo Island, it would be impossible to find without some special method!
Besides Su Yang, there were also some other people who had kept their abilities hidden and had obviously discovered the anomaly within the soil.
