Chapter 994: Miracle!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The Scarlet Jade Ginseng was a mutant variant ginseng.
They were exceedingly rare, and would typically need over a hundred years of careful nurturing to reach full maturity.
Before they reached full maturity, they cannot be consumed.
But because it needed so much time to reach full maturity, they were excellent spirit herbs when matured.
After Cao Guo Feng moved it to his own yard, he’d only taken it as a leisurely activity to tend to it every so often.
After all with the long life of Saint Emperors, he would be able to enjoy the ginseng sooner or later...
But still, he didn’t place too much importance on it for the time being.
After all, it was only around ten years old right now.
There were still at least 70, 80 years remaining until it would be worth something...
But who would have thought that this ginseng would actually directly step past over 80 years of growing, directly reaching full maturity in the mere blink of an eye?
When they saw this, the five of them directly froze like stone statues...
“Quick quick...
dig it out and take a look!
Is it really mature?
” The Third Elder said agitatedly as his eyes shone.
The Scarlet Jade Ginseng could not really be considered any amazing treasure in the eyes of these Saint Emperors.
But a fully matured Scarlet Jade Ginseng was still rather rare.
If it was really mature, it would be a nice freebie.
The Seventh Elder stooped down and carefully dug through the ground.
Even as a Saint Emperor expert, he was still exceedingly careful.
The Scarlet Jade Ginseng was rather unique in that as long as even a single root was hurt when digging, all the Spiritual Qi in it would completely disappear...
This was also the reason why the Scarlet Jade Ginseng was viewed so preciously despite its growth conditions...
A while later, the Scarlet Jade Ginseng was finally dug up completely.
An additional deep hole was left on the ground.
After carefully dusting off the dirt around it, a red glow could be seen, with a near translucent ginseng.
All five Saint Emperors were promptly stunned!
This...
it was actually real!
This was a Scarlet Jade Ginseng that could not be more ripe!
Furthermore, this was definitely the highest grade of Scarlet Jade Ginseng!
Overjoyed with this discovery, the five brothers immediately spread out and started digging...
“Wahaha, look at this stalk of Green Jing, it’s actually also reached full maturity...
” “The Violet Zoysia here is actually also fully grown...
” The five old man suddenly turned into common foragers as they searched through this treasure ground excitedly...
How big could a mere courtyard be?
Saint Emperor Cao himself was not a herb expert, and there was only a limited number of spirit herbs planted.
The five quickly concluded their search in a short time.
Looking at the desolate scene before them, the five Saint Emperors clucked their tongues with some pity.
They were naturally not feeling regretful about the mess they’ve created.
With their status, even if they trashed another hundred courtyards, they would still not feel anything.
In at most one day, the courtyard could be easily restored to its former beauty.
The thing they were truly regretful over was—”if we knew it was like this, we should have planted this courtyard full of spirit herbs...
A miracle like this would only happen once in how long ah...
To think that such a miraculous anomaly only ended up mainly nourishing those useless weeds and bamboos.
What a waste, it was simply a waste of heavenly resources...
” The five all sighed as they looked at the sea of bamboo before them with hatred.
In this moment, they only wished to chop these annoying plants down and boil them into soup...
A perfectly fine courtyard had actually turned into a bamboo forest!
Even the clean and quiet little houses were all covered with weeds now, and some bamboo had even grown through the ground, breaking past the stone floors...
They had checked very carefully; apart from this yard, there was no anomaly with the plants outside of this yard.
From the looks of it, this ‘miracle’ had only happened to this yard...
“So it’s the Heavens giving us more care ah...
” the Seventh Elder said with a deep sigh.
As he rubbed his buttocks, he did not feel that bad anymore.
After all, who else in this world could say that their chrysanthemum had been busted by divine providence?
This old man could be said to be the first in the world!
This event could even be written into the annals of history!
When he thought of it this way, the Seventh Elder felt that his butt had been honoured...
As dawn approached, Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng finally returned lethargically.
The moment they stepped through the door, the both of them froze slightly and instantly turned back around...
they should have entered the wrong door...
Bai Qi Feng grumbled softly.
“Boss, you called me a muddlehead all day long, but look at you, you can’t even find your own house...
” The two stepped back and looked for a long time.
Finally, they turned and walked back through the gate in a confused manner.
They looked at the entire yard full of tall grass and verdant bamboos, as well as the thick layer of vines creeping along the walls...
Cao Guo Feng was so shocked that he couldn’t say anything.
The yard was also filled with huge holes all over the ground...
As for the room that Jun Mo Xie had been staying in, it had already been turned into a breezy open pavilion.
Saint Emperor Cao blinked his eyes in disbelief, and he felt like a strangled goose with its throat tightly gripped in someone’s fist.
After stammering and choking for a long time, he finally roared, “This...
what happened here?
” The scene before him would be shocking to anyone!
It was a good thing that he’d noticed the plants first.
If he saw the large holes and the destroyed house first, Saint Emperor Cao would definitely think that something had happened to Young Master Jun!
The moment they heard the two come back, the other five Saint Emperors hurriedly ran out from their rooms.
The five of them all spoke together, describing all kinds of wondrous magic, causing Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng to nearly faint from the confusion...
After a long time, the two of them finally figured out the situation from their jumbled words, realizing that a ‘miracle’ had happened in this yard last night!
“I’m not in the mood to care about whatever magic and miracles...
Where is that kid?
How is he?
Has he calmed down yet?
” Bai Qi Feng was obviously not interested in the miracle at all.
He only cared about the treasured disciple that they’d snatched back after such great danger.
With the assassination attempt just a few hours ago, his mood was naturally not good.
“Er...
he’s fine.
” The five hurriedly answered.
Only when they heard that he was fine, the two of them finally relaxed.
Now, they could look at the messy scene before them and the precious herbs in the five brothers’ hands.
There were actually over a dozen of them, and each one could be considered precious natural treasures...
“I say, boss, this matter seems quite queer to me...
” Bai Qi Feng stroked his chin and revealed a deep ponderous expression.
“That miracle didn’t come earlier or later, only arriving after Jun Ye came here...
Perhaps...
this disciple of ours is someone sent from the deities...
” “What do you mean?
” Everyone asked together.
“It’s extraordinary ‘eh’...
” Bai Qi Feng said, raising his head arrogantly.
This was a slang that he’d learnt from Jun Mo Xie a couple days ago.
To think he could apply it so quickly, it was indeed extraordinary...
Everyone also nodded with realization.
Although Bai Qi Feng’s words sounded rather uncouth, this was an undeniable fact.
Cao Guo Feng had already stayed in this yard for several hundred years.
But not to mention a miracle, not even the slightest strange matter had happened before...
But today’s matter was obviously not something that could be explained away with logic...
In that instant, the seven Saint Emperors had become more sure that this Free and Natural Physique prodigy Mo Jun Ye was definitely going to be a huge figure in the future!
Throughout history and legends, every time an important figure was born, strange sights and anomalies would always accompany them!
From the looks of it, this was a reminder from the heavens ah...
Or perhaps, it’s a warning from the gods, that nothing must be allowed to happen to this child!
In just an instant, the look in everyone’s eyes changed...
The entire Misty Illusory Manor was thoroughly stirred up the previous night!
The prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique, had met with an assassination attempt at the mountain right in front of the Manor, barely avoiding death!
And the assassins were actually the six personal guards of the Zhan Family Young Masters who had only a few hours ago, been defeated miserably by Mo Jun Ye!
This matter naturally attracted the attention of all the important characters!
The second matter also involved the same Mo Jun Ye with the Free and Natural Physique.
On the same night that he’d escaped the assassination attempt, a shocking miracle had appeared in the yard he was staying at!
In the span of a single night, all the plants in the yard suddenly all grew madly, reaching full maturity of several hundred years!
These two matters sent a huge tremor through the entire Misty Illusory Manor!
At the crack of dawn, Manor Lord Miao Jing Yun sent an order, summoning the Patriarchs of all the eight great families to the Manor!
At the same time, among the list of invited people, was Saint Emperor Cao Guo Feng!
“This time, the Zhan Family will definitely not be able to get away lightly.
This daddy has disliked those bunch of Zhan Family bastards for a long time already!
” Bai Qi Feng said with a slight sneer as he sat in Cao Guo Feng’s little yard.
His expression was casual and at ease, as if he were in his own house.
In fact, he’d even pulled his mattress and blankets over, seemingly intending to perch a nest here and settle down...
Saint Emperor Bai’s speech was much more restrained this time.
His trademark “this daddy” was practically gone.
After all, his precious disciple was beside him.
If he ended up leading him astray, it wouldn’t be good...
Truthfully, this was also one of Cao Guo Feng’s conditions for letting him stay here.
If he refused to conform, he could only scram.
In order to be able to stay close with his precious disciple, he could only comply...
A stone table was set in the middle of the yard, which they sat around.
A bowl of spirit fruits only produced in the Misty Illusory Manor was placed in the middle.
Six of the Saint Emperors together with Jun Mo Xie was seated around it, happily eating their breakfast.
The scene was calm, and the sound of bamboo and leaves swaying lightly in the breeze could be heard...
“Not necessarily so!
” Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile.
“Although the assassins from last night have been determined to be from the Zhan Family, it remains a fact that none of the Zhan Family disciples were present!
And with just that ‘not present’ point, the Zhan Family can do many things.
With their foundations, they probably won’t suffer any real loss.
At the most, they would only get some light punishment and with the promise to be more strict with their watch over their servants.
And this matter would be over...
” “Oh?
Really?
” Bai Qi Feng looked at Young Master Jun with an interested gaze.
“Kid, you’ve hidden yourself quite well...
In that case, the only way to pin the crime on the Zhan Family for last night’s matter is if we caught Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu red-handed at the scene of the crime?
” “Even like that, it might not work!
” Jun Mo Xie said faintly.
“As long as the Zhan Family acted quickly enough on their side, announcing that this matter was the personal actions of those two unfilial juniors and promptly expelled them from the family, or even executed the two of them on the spot, the Zhan Family would still not have their core harmed at all.
Wishing to topple the Zhan Family just with this matter alone is basically impossible!
After all, the Zhan Family is the current number one family of the Misty Illusory Manor.
Their foundations are incomparably deep and sturdy to shocking extent!
It’s truly difficult to want to shake them!
