Chapter 189: Intense preparations before the Bodhi Gambling Conference and the power of the Spirit G

Although the rules state that one tree from the first to ninth grade should be selected, the eighth grade is already extremely rare, and the ninth grade is almost extinct. At present, it seems that there is not even a ninth grade tree in the entire Jiulongling. Only the First Dragon Gang, the Second Dragon Gang, and the Eighth Dragon Gang each have an eighth grade tree, which is already the top level. Therefore, in the eighth grade competition, the other six families will use trees of other grades to replace them - which is equivalent to the three families with the eighth grade tree locking in a victory in advance; and the highest level of the ninth grade competition, each family will use trees of other grades to participate in the battle, and the victory or defeat depends on their own ability.

After seven days of auditions, the Kowloon Gang actually found a surprise! The nine trees finally selected for the competition are:

First rank: Guo Pengwu’s family at the Dragon Claw Peak on the left of the Ninth Dragon Ridge;

Second rank: Ma Qin’s family at the second dragon claw peak on the right side of the ninth dragon ridge;

Third rank: Kowloon Gang (responsible tree farmer: Li Fujia);

Fourth rank: Ding Yu'e's home at the Dragon Claw Peak on the right side of the Ninth Dragon Ridge;

Fifth rank: Xiong Baogui’s home at Longwei Peak of the Ninth Dragon Ridge;

Sixth Rank: Kowloon Gang (Responsible Spiritual Plant Master: Gao Haixin);

Rank 7: Kowloon Gang (Responsible Spiritual Plant Master: Gu Hui);

Grade 8: One Grade 6 plant will participate in the competition on behalf of the Kowloon Gang (responsible spiritual plant master: Jiang Fanghong);

Ninth Grade: A sixth-grade plant will participate in the competition on behalf of the Kowloon Gang (responsible spiritual plant master: Lu Hui).

The cultivation of bodhi trees in Jiulongling is somewhat special. Because of the existence of the old tree king, their growth and advancement can often be completed by themselves. Therefore, there is no need for high-quality spiritual plant masters to sit in and intervene. It can be seen from the fact that after the old tree king broke through the realm, he brought overall advancement to his descendants. Therefore, over the years, the number of spiritual plant masters in Jiulongling is not large, and basically all low-quality spiritual plant masters are responsible for the necessary spiritual irrigation and pest control. The rest of the daily work is basically handed over to the tree farmers. The tree farmers of the Kowloon Gang are divided into two types. One is an employment relationship, that is, the Kowloon Gang pays a certain amount of spiritual coins as wages every month to let these tree farmers take care of the tree gardens under their jurisdiction; the second is a relationship of ownership, just like Li Fu and others, who signed a contract with the Kowloon Gang. They are all the property of the Kowloon Gang and are also managed and protected by the Kowloon Gang.

In addition, there are various independent "retail investors" whose homes are all in the Kowloon Gang's jurisdiction, under the Kowloon Gang's management and protection, and who have to pay a portion of their earnings as protection fees every month. But all other actions are decided by themselves, with maximum freedom.

Of the nine Bodhi trees selected this time, four came from these free "retail investors", and the remaining five belonged to the Kowloon Gang. It seems that there are many talented people in Kowloon Ridge, which also reminded Mr. Lu Liang that he should increase his efforts to discover talents and revitalize the Kowloon Gang in the future.

After all the participating trees were selected, the next step was to try to improve the level of these nine trees in the remaining month. Because the nine trees currently selected will not be reported directly to the conference, that is to say, these nine trees are only tentative contestants. In order to achieve better results and also for insurance purposes, Lv Liang and his team also selected 18 additional substitutes. Next, Yun Bai and all the spiritual plant masters will be busy - the 27 trees that are expected to participate and substitutes have their own clear responsible persons, and the rest of the people, in addition to cooperating with these 27 responsible persons, will all be dispersed to various places in the Kowloon Gang's jurisdiction to help apply spiritual fertilizer and perform spiritual irrigation spells regularly.

The Infusion Technique is a low-level spiritual plant technique. All spiritual plant masters must first learn the Infusion Technique after the basic knowledge class. As for the "high-level stuff" that Yun Bai taught the two brothers and sisters of the Lu family, they will not easily pass it on to others. After they have their own team of spiritual plant masters, they can focus on training trustworthy backbones.

As for spiritual fertilizers, the Lu family adopted Yun Bai's suggestion, consulted Zhao Hongshan and Mu Yun, and obtained three basic formulas, which were then used together with the spiritual infusion technique. Even without applying those expensive spiritual fertilizers, the effect was surprisingly good. In this way, with large-scale promotion and use, not only the effect is doubled, but the cost is also greatly reduced. It is no exaggeration to say that they can get twice the result with half the effort.

As a result, Zhao Hongshan and Mu Yun became the most popular people in the Kowloon Gang, and their popularity was almost catching up with Yun Bai. In this town, Yun Bai was much more low-key - she seemed to have suddenly disappeared, becoming silent. Only a few core members of the Kowloon Gang knew what she was busy with.

From the outside, wherever this little girl went, the place would be temporarily sealed off. She would usually stay there for a while, and no one knew what she did. Anyway, after she left, all the spiritual plants in the sealed area became full of energy, and more than 50% of them even advanced directly! Especially the participating trees advanced the most significantly, and the bodhi trees from the first to fourth grades were even promoted to two higher grades in a row!

"Little Bai girl, you are really a magical existence!" Three days later, after hearing the good news, Lv Liang brought several children, grandchildren and confidants to the small tree garden of Ma Qin's family on the right second Longzhua Peak where Yun Bai was. After seeing with their own eyes that the second-grade Bodhi tree originally intended to participate in the competition had become a fourth-grade Bodhi tree (the first-grade Bodhi tree of Guo Pengwu's family on the left first Longzhua Peak had also successfully advanced to a third-grade Bodhi tree), everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and the eyes they looked at Yun Bai were like looking at a treasure.

"This is not all my credit..." In fact, Yun Bai was also surprised by this result. After three upgrades, her Spiritual Guidance Technique can now successfully cover seventh-grade spiritual plants. However, although spiritual plants of higher grades can also gain some benefits within the range of the Spiritual Guidance Technique, the effect is not obvious. Moreover, her Spiritual Guidance Technique can indeed allow spiritual plants to advance, but it is not as easy as it is now, with an increase of two major grades. If such an effect is taken to the outside, even a high-grade spiritual plant master may not be able to achieve it!

However, Yun Bai already had a guess - it should be the credit of the Bodhi Tree King. She had the soul imprint of the old tree king and could contact him directly, so she soon got confirmation: it was indeed the old tree king who was willing to cooperate, and the two complemented each other, and finally achieved such a good effect. In this regard, the old tree king also said happily that he did not expect the effect to be so good, and hoped that Yun Bai would come often in the future to help his descendants improve quickly. Yun Bai also happily agreed. Helping the spiritual plants and feeling their happy emotions made her feel particularly warm and happy. Moreover, any spiritual plant affected by her spiritual guidance technique would feed back to her. Compared with the amount of heaven and earth elemental force obtained by a single spiritual plant, she would get much more benefits. She was naturally happy to do such a mutually beneficial thing, and she also hoped that the more the better!

"You are so modest, girl. You are indeed a rare talent among millions!" said Mr. Lu Liang sincerely. However, he immediately looked embarrassed, paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "But, Xiaobai, I want to discuss something with you... I wonder if you can control the degree of your magical power. Otherwise, I am afraid we will have to choose new trees to participate in the Bodhi Gambling Conference!"

"Oh! I actually forgot about this! It's all my fault! You are right, I will pay more attention next time!" Hearing what Grandpa Lu said, Yun Bai suddenly realized and quickly slapped her forehead - yes, the rules of the conference have changed. Each grade must select a tree to participate in the competition. Now, she has upgraded the first and second grade trees. Doesn't that mean she can't participate in the competition!

"Haha, don't say that. You've helped us a lot! We can't thank you enough, so how can we blame you? We still have trees to replace them. Please help take care of them when the time comes..." Lu Liang said, rubbing his hands, and he seemed a little embarrassed. His expression was similar to that of Old Man Long, which made Yun Bai want to laugh. She simply smiled and said, "Don't be polite. I will pay attention to it later! However, because the current grade is still relatively low, it is hard to say how effective the seventh grade and above will be..."

"Just go for it boldly. No matter what the final result is, we will be grateful to you!" Lu Liang said simply. The others behind him also nodded, sincerely agreeing with what the gang leader said.

"Okay! Then I will do my best!" Grandpa Lu spoke frankly, and Yun Bai was also straightforward and happy. Then, with the help of the Old Tree King, she brought a big surprise to the Kowloon Gang and the entire Kowloon Ridge!
