Chapter 2237: Chapter 2233: Never Yielded to Anyone

Tang Ming smiled and nodded: "Nowadays, the demonized lands of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range have all been purified into normal lands. For so many years, they haven’t been cultivated, so the fertility within the land is very strong. When planting, the yield should be quite high."

"Hmm, this is indeed the case. Although the land in the West Desolation was demonized, the nutrients in the soil didn’t disappear, instead it increased. You’ve purified the demonized land, but you didn’t remove the nutrients that increased when the land was demonized. I’m actually curious about what kind of water you used."

Hu Jiusheng looked at Tang Ming, but Tang Ming simply smiled and didn’t answer him.

The room fell into silence. Seeing Tang Ming’s silence, Hu Jiusheng picked up the array map Tang Ming handed him.

It was a Gathering Spirit Array. In the eyes of an array master, a Spirit Gathering Array is definitely the simplest array, yet this type of array is also one of the most difficult.

Tang Ming’s intent was clear: to set up a Gathering Spirit Array on the land where Spirit Rice is planted to accelerate the growth of the Spirit Rice.

In theory, this method is feasible. But before, Hu Jiusheng had tried the same and failed. The seedlings grew very vigorously, but when it was time to bear fruit, the seedlings began to wither. He never understood why this was the case.

"You want to use Gathering Spirit Town to gather spiritual energy and then accelerate the ripening of Spirit Rice seedlings with immortal energy? I’ve tried this method before, but the Spirit Rice never bears fruit. When it’s supposed to, it quickly withers."

Hu Jiusheng looked directly at Tang Ming and said.

Tang Ming nodded: "I previously asked Eighth Aunt, and she mentioned it. So, I want to experiment on a small scale. I feel some aspects of your previous methods were not quite right."

"Oh? My methods were wrong? Tang Ming, your tone is a bit bold. In the entire West Desolation, even the entire Taoyuan World, I, Hu Jiusheng, have never conceded to anyone in the art of arrays."

Hu Jiusheng snorted coldly, slapped the table, and stood up.

Initially, due to the matter of Hu Jiuze, Hu Jiusheng’s mood was already not good. At this moment, hearing Tang Ming’s words, he was suddenly infuriated.

The woman chatting outside suddenly heard Hu Jiusheng’s voice and promptly pushed open the door.

The first to walk in was Hu Jiuze, glaring at Hu Jiusheng: "Hu Jiusheng, what are you planning to do to Tang Ming."

"Dad, what’s going on?"

Hu Mei’er also looked at Hu Jiusheng in surprise.

Tang Ming smiled bitterly, then said: "Ninth Aunt, Mei’er, it’s nothing, I just didn’t articulate well. Uncle, I’m not saying there’s a problem with your array. I’m saying there’s a problem with your ripening method. Spirit Rice, to mature, requires not just immortal energy, but other things as well. You didn’t place those things in the fields, so the Spirit Rice seedlings naturally withered prematurely."

Tang Ming’s words made Hu Jiusheng pause. After a while, he sighed deeply: "My mistake. Come, tell me more carefully."

"Already an adult, still so sloppy."

Hu Jiuze snorted, turned around, and walked out.

Hu Mei’er chuckled at Hu Jiusheng, then pointed to Hu Jiuze’s back and followed out.

Watching Hu Mei’er close the door, Hu Jiusheng lowered his head and transmitted his voice to Tang Ming: "Do you think your Ninth Aunt can ever forgive me?"

"Don’t worry, Uncle, you and my Ninth Aunt are family after all. Over time, the rift will mend. After all, things have happened so many years ago."

"I hope so. Now, tell me about your array design. Your Gathering Spirit Town seems different from the one I set up before."

Hu Jiusheng sighed deeply, then looked at Tang Ming with a smile.

Tang Ming nodded: "That’s right, my Gathering Spirit Town has several special features, and I need to ask Uncle for more effort."

The Gathering Spirit Array Tang Ming needed differed from the usual ones Hu Jiusheng arranged in the past. The normal Gathering Spirit Array gathers immortal energy, forming cyclones, allowing cultivators within the array to absorb enough immortal energy for cultivation.

But the Gathering Spirit Array Tang Ming needed would spread, dilute, and evenly distribute the spiritual energy. When activated, the immortal energy quickly fills the Gathering Spirit Array without creating an overly high concentration.

Hu Jiusheng listened to Tang Ming’s explanation in silence for a long time, then said: "You’ve essentially created another type of array. However, making this change on the base of a Gathering Spirit Array should still be quite easy."

Hu Jiusheng, worthy of being an array master, easily identified the essence of the Gathering Spirit Array Tang Ming mentioned.

Tang Ming stood up joyfully: "Uncle, if it’s feasible, that’s great. What I feared was that it wouldn’t work. Let’s take action now."

"Sure. I also want to see how you can ripen the grains. Not to mention, if there’s grain, I can assure you, there won’t be any force in the West Desolation we can’t overcome."

Hu Jiusheng stood up, looking boldly spirited.

The few people eavesdropping by the door were all stunned, especially Hu Jiuze, who seeing the confident and imposing Hu Jiusheng, seemed to be taken back to her youthful days.

In the West Desolation, Fox Spirit Mountain was considered a major force. During their youth, Hu Jiusheng and Hu Jiuze were known as the Fox Spirit Twin Stars, one excelled in arrays, the other in combat. Together, invincible against enemies.

Later, Hu Jiuze and Hu Jiusheng met Tang Mosheng and his wife.

Tang Mosheng singlehandedly defeated the Fox Spirit Twin Stars, accepting them as Spiritual Beasts. However, he and his wife treated the Fox Spirit Twin Stars not as servants, but as brothers and sisters.

Tang Ming pushed open the door and found Hu Jiuze deep in thought. He smiled at Hu Mei’er: "Call in Eighth Aunt and Third Aunt. Today we’re going to the back mountain to set up a Gathering Spirit Array. If the array succeeds, then we can have an inexhaustible supply of grain."

"I’ll send them a message now."

Hu Mei’er nodded. Tang Ming then received a storage ring from Gehou that he handed to him earlier.

This storage ring contained many materials for arranging the array, all provided by Hu Jiuze.

Tang Ming was initially surprised to see these materials. Hu Jiuze said: "I can’t force my disciple to betray the Demon Slayer Clan, but I have my sources and can buy some ores. These things were prepared for you. Although you’ve negotiated cooperation with the Demon Slayer Clan, these ores should still help you achieve some things."

The back mountain of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range is now its most important area, bar none.
