The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#504 - Teach a man to fish

Chen Hanqing's lips were purple, his eyes were staring blankly, and he trembled several times, trying to speak, but each time he failed to utter a word, which made Lu Jing worry about his physical condition.

Although the relationship between the two had not yet reached the level of friendship, Chen Hanqing was a tool person that Lu Jing had managed to hire, diligently helping him collect ginseng, and even voluntarily cutting his own wages.

He was simply the perfect employee that every black-hearted boss dreamed of, and seeing that this perfect employee might be sick, Lu Jing was naturally very anxious.

He said to him, "It's okay, I won't need you for the next few days, you can rest first, and don't worry about the wages, I will pay them as usual, well, just consider it a paid vacation for you."

Chen Hanqing didn't know what a paid vacation was, and he couldn't care about such things at the moment. After a while, he finally managed to speak again, and then he stammered, "What, what powerful swordsmanship!"

Only then did Lu Jing realize that this kid was frightened by his sword.

However, the talisman treasure was undoubtedly a treasure to any cultivator, and Lu Jing had no intention of revealing it to others for the time being.

Moreover, the talisman treasure could exert such great power, which was also related to Lu Jing's own super-charged battery with the lightning interface. Even if ordinary people could release this spell, it would basically not have such power.

Therefore, Lu Jing could only shamelessly accept Chen Hanqing's praise, "It's okay, I guess."

When Chen Hanqing heard these three words, tears almost fell down. Why was the gap between people so big?

Even if he practiced hard, he didn't know when he would be able to cultivate such a powerful spell. Lu Jing, like him, was a newcomer who had just entered the academy not long ago. He had only practiced for a few months, and he had already cultivated to such a realm.

It was just that Chen Hanqing had never read 'Battle Through the Heavens', otherwise he would have exclaimed, 'This child is terrifyingly powerful.'

But at this moment, he thought of another thing.

The two of them seemed to have made an agreement to have a good competition in the next small competition to see the results of their cultivation.

Thinking of this, Chen Hanqing's already pale face now looked even paler. What madness had he been seized by to find this guy to compete with?

Moreover, it seemed that he had also issued a challenge, making the entire academy know about it. When the time came, not only would he be burdened with astronomical debts at a young age, but he would probably never be able to hold his head up in the academy after the competition.

Chen Hanqing recalled the tricks he had played before, and became even more panicked.

What should he do? Should he surrender now? Otherwise, when the small competition came, would he be accidentally beheaded by Lu Jing with a single sword?

But Chen Hanqing was also a person who cared about face. Even if he already knew he was no match, it was difficult for him to open his mouth to admit defeat.

In addition, there was Wen Xiaoqian, the woman he valued, and he didn't want to give up on her so easily.

At the same time, after the initial panic, a trace of fluke couldn't help but arise in Chen Hanqing's heart.

Could it be that Lu Jing only knew this one spell? This kind of thing was quite common, because the more powerful the spell, the more difficult it was to cultivate.

The representative of this was the Sword Control Technique, which took decades to cultivate. Usually, cultivators who practiced the Sword Control Technique didn't have time to practice other spells.

The small competition was not about who could fight the best, but more like testing who had more methods and could adapt faster. In addition, the academy prohibited fighting between fellow students. As long as Lu Jing wasn't angered into embarrassment, Chen Hanqing felt that his hope of surviving the small competition was still great.

It was even possible to win and create a miracle.

Seeing Chen Hanqing standing there blankly, neither speaking nor moving, with expressions changing on his face like he was performing a stunt, Lu Jing didn't know what he was thinking, shook his head, and ignored him.

The time he had been out this time was much longer than expected. He hadn't been able to take care of this ginseng field for a full four days. Now that he was back, he naturally couldn't continue to leave it unattended.

Even though his financial situation had now begun to improve, no one would嫌 more money. Moreover, Lu Jing also planned to turn ginseng planting into a career.

Without the poisonous pill to suppress the expansion of his secret power, he would definitely need to spend a lot of money in the future. Thinking of this, Lu Jing couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he began to skillfully cast Lush Growth on the ginseng field in front of him.

As a result, Chen Hanqing, who was standing next to him, was stunned again.

Because he was startled by Lu Jing's sword, he had exposed his position, and thought that his plan to secretly learn the ginseng planting technique had failed. But he didn't expect that Lu Jing didn't avoid him at all.

He began to cast spells on the ginseng field in front of him, and not just one, or two… Chen Hanqing watched as one Lush Growth after another fell on the ginseng field, and the ginseng and weeds inside began to grow wildly under the catalysis of the spell.

And Chen Hanqing had never seen anyone like Lu Jing who sprinkled it like it was free.

After watching for a while, he subconsciously opened his mouth, feeling a little distressed, "It's too wasteful, a lot of your spells have fallen on the weeds."

Lu Jing also knew the principle of teaching a man to fish is better than teaching him to fish, and seeing Chen Hanqing asking, he didn't hide anything and took the initiative to teach him the secrets of planting ginseng.

"It's not wasteful, just plant it like this, and the ginseng that grows will sell for a good price. It's exactly the same as the ones dug out in the wild, and those pharmacies can't tell the difference at all."

"… … … …"

Chen Hanqing didn't know what to say anymore. Lu Jing's method was natural, but what about the wasted secret power? When would he be able to cultivate it back? This was simply not worth the loss.

He had ambushed for so many days, and what he got was such an answer. Chen Hanqing only felt a trance, and couldn't help but ask himself the three philosophical questions full of meaning: Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?

If he had known this, he would have planned an ambush for nothing. He might as well have asked Lu Jing directly.

Chen Hanqing also saw that Lu Jing didn't have any intention of keeping it secret. Thinking about it, this method was not difficult at all. The problem was that except for Lu Jing, no one in this world would plant ginseng like this.

Moreover, after seeing Lu Jing's terrifying Lush Growth, the last trace of fluke in Chen Hanqing's heart disappeared. He sighed and admitted directly without any hesitation, "I am not as good as you."
