CHAPTER 195: 194. RED EYES BECOMES FOREMAN! (3/4)

"Unexpectedly, Elder Yun, after watching the Sect Leader’s battle, felt a surge in his heart and directly opened his Meridian Gate on the spot."

"Our Immortal Sect is about to gain another Profound Realm cultivator."

Everyone couldn’t help but express their amazement.

However, each person’s voice was very low, so low that it was like speaking in whispers directly into one’s ear.

"Leave here, Miao Yin, you stay to guard Elder Yun." Wen Ping walked over and dispersed the crowd, including Yang Lele, his gaze lingering on Yun Liao for a moment.

"Hmm!"

Miao Yin was thrilled and quickly nodded.

At this time, Qin Shan and Yu Mo also rushed over upon hearing the news, but Wen Ping sent them away.

Wen Ping watched for a while before turning and leaving.

As he walked, he ran into Hei Ze who was carrying broken branches towards the plaza. At the edge of the plaza, Hei Ze had already placed two bundles of wood there, and upon seeing Wen Ping, she continued her work without greeting him.

Wen Ping walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Hei Ze replied blandly, without any extra expression, "Those branches are cluttering the area, carrying them up for firewood can result in several more pots of hot water for bathing."

Seeing Hei Ze preparing to head down the mountain again, Wen Ping quickly said, "You’re getting into your role quickly, but we don’t burn wood here, clean up all this stuff later. Now follow me."

"Don’t burn wood?"

Hei Ze was a bit puzzled but didn’t further inquire.

She understood her current situation: what could be asked, what’s pointless to ask; what should be said, and what might lead to trouble—she had been cautious about these since the beginning.

For her, perhaps avenging Wei Qianjue was impossible, but she had to continue living for herself.

She certainly didn’t believe Wen Ping would have her chop 300-year-old trees. After all, she is a Profound Realm.

She’s still the one and only Hei Ze.

With her help, Wen Ping’s strength could challenge Upper Profound Realm without falling behind.

She believed Wen Ping saw this very clearly, and asking her to chop trees was likely just casual talk.

Wen Ping turned away, and she quickly followed.

Upon reaching the other side of the mountain, Wen Ping saw Ling Yun, who was painstakingly digging a pit.

Even though there was a specially made iron pick, digging Dustless Soil was still very laborious. After several hours, only one pit was dug. The Red-eyed Giant Ape took leisure resting aside.

It even made a vine whip, occasionally whipping Ling Yun with it.

While beating, it scolded, "Speed up the digging, how come someone your age can’t even dig a pit for planting trees?"

"You seem quite leisurely!"

Wen Ping’s voice abruptly rang out.

The Red-eyed Giant Ape’s expression changed instantly, quickly getting up, attempting to speak but instinctively glanced at the vine in its hand, hurriedly tossing it away, and continued speaking, "I was just resting; this little girl lazed while I was busy, so I taught her a harsh lesson."

Wen Ping said, "But if you use ordinary vines to whip her, is it effective?"

The Red-eyed Giant Ape paused for a moment before realizing, "Right, that’s why she hasn’t uttered a sound after being struck by me for two hours. I forgot she has a Purity Body."

After a slap on its forehead, the Red-eyed Giant Ape looked toward Hei Ze behind Wen Ping.

It squinted its eyes suddenly, smiling with interest, murmuring to itself, "Hey, actually a little Hei Ze."

Wen Ping ignored its words and simply said, "Red-eye, watch her closely. She’s just like you, here to plant trees in the Immortal Sect for 300 years!"

The Red-eyed Giant Ape laughed gleefully, "Heh heh, I know, her commotion was quite big just now."

Another 300 years!

Now he had two companions, no longer lonely.

The Red-eyed Giant Ape immediately roared at Hei Ze, "Little Hei Ze, come here!"

At this moment, Hei Ze stared at the Red-eyed Giant Ape, caught in a daze.

This...

Is this a Demon King?

From its aura, she sensed the Red-eyed Giant Ape had the aura of the Profound Middle Realm. She wasn’t sure initially, but the Red-eyed Giant Ape kept referring to itself as ’this king.’ In the demon race, if not a king, no Great Demon dared to call itself such.

Looking at the Red-eyed Giant Ape, she felt a bit chaotic.

Earlier she thought Wen Ping would surely not have her continue chopping trees, but here is a Demon King planting trees for 300 years.

Although she’s special, compared to the Demon King, she falls far short. Each Demon King has the ancient Great Demon’s bloodline, possessing Upper Profound Realm strength. She would never reach the day of becoming a Demon King alive.

Her black mist is utterly useless against a Demon King.

Because Demon Kings don’t use Vein Qi!

Relying solely on physical power, they can crush her with ease.

Wen Ping finds using him as an aid infinitely better than relying on herself.

Alright!

It truly is chopping trees and planting trees for three hundred years.

At this moment, Red-eye approached with an iron pick, aggressively thrusting it at Hei Ze, shouting, "Stop dawdling, take it, and dig pits with her."

Hei Ze was pushed, finally regaining her awareness from astonishment.

However, when she turned to look at Ling Yun, she was again surprised.

Kongling Mountain—Ling Yun!

She recognized this person, having seen her over ten times with Wei Qianjue, also a respectable Profound Middle Realm.

She was unexpectedly sitting here doing the tree planting and pit digging!

Ling Yun saw Hei Ze, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Young girl, how is that Wei Qianjue fellow?"

Hei Ze responded somberly, "Grandpa is gone."

Ling Yun seemed to have known this answer long ago, so she continued digging without another word.

But Hei Ze kept looking at her, seemingly unable to understand why Ling Yun was planting trees in the Immortal Sect.

At this time, Wen Ping spoke up, spreading his hands, and took out three Jianmu Seeds, handing them to the Red-eyed Giant Ape.

"These three seeds need to be planted; water them once per incense stick duration, and after they sprout, water them again every 100 breaths. As they grow, that’s when you can eat."

The Red-eyed Giant Ape nodded, quickly taking the Jianmu Seeds, carefully examining them in its hand.

Wen Ping admonished once more, saying, "The water must be drawn from the well in the kitchen."

The Red-eyed Giant Ape replied clearly, "Rest assured, such matters are something they... no, we will certainly manage well."

Having obtained the Red-eyed Giant Ape’s assurance, Wen Ping turned to leave, but left one last word, "I will return in two days, Red-eyed Giant Ape, if leaves do not sprout, I’ll throw you down to feed the Flood Dragon."

Upon hearing the word ’Flood Dragon,’ the Red-eyed Giant Ape immediately shifted its expression, quickly guaranteeing, "It won’t happen."

After finishing speaking, Wen Ping had already departed far away.

Once Wen Ping left, he headed straight for the Library Pavilion, pausing once more where Yun Liao was.

Making a decision in his heart!

The Thousand Layers is due to open.

The people currently in the Immortal Sect are free from disloyalty, and the Evil Spirit Knight already possesses the ability to protect the Immortal Sect. With dual protection, Wen Ping felt it was time to open this most remarkable cultivation field, second only to the Ten Layers Tower!}
