As Lingyu browsed his memories, he learned many things about where he was and how it impacted him.
For example, the Grape Wine Sect he was part of, a third-grade sect, was actually in the south-eastern region of the cultivation world. It was very small, incomparable to many others.
The region was close to the Endless Southern Mountains and the Azure Eastern Shores.
Here, the culture of wine drinking was very strong, but most of the time, the people here drink medium strong wine, not the light wine made from the Spirited Green Grapes.
While his mind was focused on these things, he already returned to cultivating again.
This time, only fifty minutes passed before his mind pulled him out of it.
"Why do I feel like the plants are a bit disturbed?" Lingyu decided to cultivate in the centre of the hill instead of his room, so this time, he was able to feel the movement of the plants while cultivating.
This movement actually allowed him to cultivate better.
Until now, when they were suddenly disturbed.
Looking at the origin of the disturbance, he saw what had come –
"Fellow Daoist, can I ask why you entered my field without warning?"
At the end of his field on the east, right where the hill was lowered, he saw a young man walking up his hill in quiet steps.
When he saw this, he instantly stood up and prepared to cast a spell.
"Haha, you don't have to worry. I'm just here to inspect everything." The young man said as he took out a small tool from his bag.
It looked like a disc.
The moment it was out, it flew into the sky and hovered there for a moment before flying down again.
Nodding, the man said, "Nothing wrong with this thing. To have felt my presence right away, you must be sensitive.
Here, take this small bag as compensation."
After throwing out a small bag, the man took several steps but what was left behind was a mirage.
Lingyu could see that the man actually flashed through his field in just a second before going to the next field to the west.
A small object hovered in the sky for a moment.
Just as he thought the result would be the same, he saw something else!
The object, presumably the disc, lit up a black glow in the sky!
Instantly, the young man waved his hands several times.
Lingyu could only see colourful lights flashing.
Everything ended quickly and the young man actually came back to Lingyu!
In his hand there was a bleeding half-dead middle-aged cultivator, various cuts all over his body while a rope bound his arms.
"Junior, I am Outer Elder Zufan. I order you to hold this demon cultivator until the patrolling cultivators arrive."
Throwing the guy casually on the ground in front of Lingyu, he took a few steps again and left.
"Huh???" Lingyu looked at the half dead man in front of him in shock.
Then turning to the direction the man disappeared, north, he had a deeper look of shock – "An elder! And I just called him fellow Daoist! Damn, I must be crazy!"
"You're a demon cultivator?!" he looked at the man again. What the hell did this mean?
This guy looked normal.
It wasn't like the demon cultivator he had in mind –
He didn't have a menacing face or a demonic aura. In fact, he looked as normal as can be.
But just as he inspected the man, he also felt the movement of the plants around.
The plants were repulsed in his presence!
'These vines were only disturbed by the elder, probably because he's many levels higher than them. But this guy, while he's also higher, he's…' suddenly he realised that the man in front of him was a mid-stage cultivator.
He took several steps back, trying to distance himself from the danger.
Yet all this while, the man barely reacted.
"Huuhhh, so the elder just wanted me to look over on this guy, probably to explain the situation to the patrolling cultivators, not to actually hold him!"
He breathed a sigh of relief and then turned back to the plants.
'The aura he exudes seems to be harmful to plants.
Even though I can't feel it, plants are much more sensitive to their environment than humans, especially these spiritual plants.'
There are many spiritual auras in the air, so discerning them is quite difficult for cultivators.
They can only discern the obvious ones, except when you cultivate special techniques.
Plants, on the other hand, have this as a natural basic ability.
'In the future I should just sleep in the field. It's like having thousands of sensors all around me!' he felt scared when he thought of what might've happened if it wasn't for the elder that inspected the situation.
'But to think that an elder would actually go around personally to check the sect for demon cultivators! Outer Sect Elders are all Foundation Building cultivators, right?'
As he thought about it, several minutes had already passed.
By then, he saw three people rushing from the distance, climbing up his mountain in just a few steps. They were slower than the elder, but each of them moved like a breeze in the wind, quickly and controlled.
Lingyu could also see that in the distance, on the hill where this guy was killed, over ten people had already arrived.
They rushed to him and when they saw the middle-aged half dead man, they relaxed slightly.
"What happened here?" the leading man asked.
Lingyu gathered his thoughts and explained it cleanly "Outer Sect Elder Zufan just inspected my vineyard. Afterward, he moved to the one west of here. I only saw lights flashing.
Then the elder came and told me to look over on this guy.
He also said that this guy is a demon cultivator."
"Demon cultivator? Hmph, you trash, how did you infiltrate the sect?" the leading man instantly looked disgusted at the half dead man.
Since the elder was inspecting, these patrolling disciples would naturally know a bit about it.
A young man beside the leading man took out a rope from his bag. He walked forward and bound the rope to the rope binding the man's hands.
On the other side, the young woman that came with the team had already left, running to the hill west from here.
"Good job looking over this guy. You will be rewarded with 10 Sect Contribution Points." The leading man nodded at Lingyu before telling the young man to pull the demon cultivator. He himself walked behind the cultivator, ensuring nothing happened.
'Wow, so fast, everything already solved in just a few minutes?' Lingyu was astonished at the speed of the sect's patrols catching these demon cultivators!
'Does this mean this happens a lot?' then he shook his head.
Never mind, even if it happened a lot, what did it matter?
Foundation Building cultivators personally inspected the fields of their sect!
With such measures he didn't have to worry about anything!
Remembering he was tossed a bag, a look of excitement appeared on his face.
He opened it right away. It wasn't a spatial bag but a normal bag.
Inside, saw a porcelain pill bottle!
He had barely pulled out the cloth closing it when he smelled a strong medical scent –
"Qi Gathering Pills!"
