Chapter 390: Cycads Blossom
In the three months that Lan Feng was in the assessment period, he didn't go out, but there was an endless stream of disciples who came to visit this side hall, if he counted carefully, there were not ninety, but also a hundred, and this also included a few logistics disciples who had sneered at him before.

Although Lan Feng was a little speechless, he never closed the door to greet customers, just smiled.
After all, the cultivation realm is this kind of atmosphere of the jungle, and he is still just an unofficial head disciple and has no right to change it.
However, to his surprise, among these people, there was no Xu Chuang, the logistics disciple who was in charge of the introductory test.
To this day, Lan Feng still vaguely remembered the bitter smile when the disciple looked back at him.
Time flies by, like quicksand between the fingers, silently.
On this day, Lan Feng walked out of the door after sorting out all the books that the head of the house had handed over to him to deal with.
The long-lost sunlight made Lan Feng's pupils shrink slightly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at a cycad tree in front of the courtyard.
At this time, two logistics disciples were watering the tree.
Seeing Lan Feng suddenly come out, the two disciples hurriedly put down the kettle in their hands, walked to him, nodded and said, "Senior Brother Lan is good." ā
Lan Feng nodded and chuckled, "Isn't this tree generally not blooming?"
"Yes, cycads never bloom regularly, but they don't bloom normally, and this tree has been here since I came here twenty years ago, and I've been watering it for so long and I've never seen it bloom. A small disciple touched his head, his face full of confusion.
Another disciple with acne marks on his face echoed on the side: "I heard that the iron tree has a long lifespan, some can even reach a hundred years, but the requirements for the growth environment are very high. ā
"It is impossible for a young tree to gather aura, what happened to the old tree? In the future, the tree in the sect should not be replaced. Lan Feng frowned, his expression serious.
The two disciples looked stunned, and Lan Feng's tone of command at this time was not at all like the style that a mortal disciple should have.
Lan Feng seemed to notice the strangeness of the expressions of these two disciples, coughed lightly, and said, "I mean, since this cycad has bloomed, it means that it has developed a strong dependence on our sect, if it is dug up like this, don't you feel a little cruel?"
"Oh. The disciple with the acne marks on his face lowered his head slightly.
The other disciple suddenly remembered something, and leaned over to Lan Feng with a wicked smile, "Senior Brother Lan, there is a saying in the mortal world that the 'thousand-year-old iron tree blooms', which means that it is basically impossible for the iron tree to bloom, unless it is in a place with strong aura, it will suddenly bloom, and this tree grows outside this side hall, I don't know how long it has been, have you found any treasures with strong aura in the hall?"
Lan Feng blinked his eyes and laughed, "Have you forgotten the two junior disciples? I'm just a mortal, how could I possibly feel the aura in this hall?"
"I suddenly forgot, senior brother, don't take it to heart. The disciple scratched his head again.
"Go ahead and get busy, and leave the kettle behind. Lan Feng said lightly.
The two disciples glanced at each other, then nodded and retreated.
Lan Feng lifted the kettle from the ground and suddenly looked moved when he came to Tieshu's side.
The yellowish cylindrical buds in the cycads suddenly stretch slightly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and this process is very fast, that is, in the blink of an eye, the flowers are fully opened.
Lan Feng comprehended in his heart, between the discussions between the two disciples just now, he had already guessed that the real reason for the sudden flowering of the Iron Tree was due to his own Yuan Infant Qi.
Plants absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and unlike humans, they are very sensitive to the sense of aura, even if there is an immortal stage monk hidden here, they can easily sense it.
Cycads have very strict requirements for the growth environment, and in a basin with a low altitude like the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the aura was originally very thin, and they were able to survive, which was already considered against the sky, and suddenly felt such a powerful aura fluctuation, and naturally bloomed.
He was groaning when a dry cough suddenly sounded behind him.
Looking back, Ji Mingjie stood there with a gloomy face, and said coldly, "What are you doing?"
Lan Feng sneered in his heart, but said with the same expression as usual: "Back to the master, the apprentice is watering the cycads." ā
"This tree is a drought-resistant plant, who asked you to water it?" Ji Mingjie frowned slightly, and shouted loudly.
Lan Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, put the kettle in his hand on the ground, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I won't next time." ā
Ji Mingjie sighed, waved his hand and said, "That's it, the old man of this tree is not going to ask for it, where do I have time to chat with mortals like you, go down." ā
Lan Feng's eyes flashed, and he asked, "The three-month assessment period for apprentices has arrived, when can I obtain the immortal status?"
Ji Mingjie's deep gaze glanced at Lan Feng's waist, cleared his throat, and said, "I have already asked someone to apply for you, and it will be given to you at the apprenticeship ceremony in three days." ā
Lan Feng showed a look of joy on his face, and said with a fist: "Master Xie, I'll go in first." ā
After saying that, he turned around and quickly entered the door.
"Something that is so easy to get like an immortal book can make you happy like this. Ji Mingjie took a few steps forward with his beard, and when his eyes swept into the middle of the cycad, the movements in his hands suddenly paused.
"The Iron Tree is actually blooming?"
He stood there and observed for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing and said in a loud voice: "The blossoming of the iron tree symbolizes that everything is going well, and it proves that my Ten Thousand Sword Sect is a treasure land." ā
Lan Feng, who was sitting on the futon in the side hall, faintly heard Ji Mingjie's happy laughter, and gently pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint sly smile.
Three days later, in the main hall of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Ji Mingjie sat on a high chair in the center with an indifferent expression, while on both sides of the main hall, there were nearly ten blue sword monks standing, and three monks wearing black and blue flying swords.
"Master, Lan Feng is still a mortal, so it is not appropriate to give him immortal status. A sixty-year-old man looked solemn.
Ji Mingjie touched his beard, squinted and smiled, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, the apprentice of the master, how can you become an immortal without an immortal book?" A gray-haired old woman standing to the left of Ji Mingjie squinted at the old man.
The old man was about to say something, when he was suddenly gently pulled by a middle-aged disciple beside him, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Don't say it, anyway, the number of immortal books every year is collected by the head of the sect in person, and you won't be allowed to go, if you talk too much, you will offend people." ā
The old man sighed secretly, shook his head, and stopped talking.
After a short time, a white-clothed disciple slowly walked in from outside the door, the light outside was too strong, against the light, it was impossible to see his expression clearly, but he could see his hands clasped into fists, and said respectfully: "Disciple Lan Feng, I am here to greet the elders." ā
