The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 766 - 425 Successful Resuscitation_2

After waiting for a while, even Elder He could not remain calm anymore, and just as he was about to send someone to check on the situation, the portal finally began to ripple like water, and then Ning Xiaoxian stepped out.

Everyone sighed in relief, yet their hearts tightened again.

Elder He eagerly asked her: "How did it go? Was the Blood Parasol revived?"

Stretching her hand into the portal, she brought out a pot containing the Blood Parasol and placed it on the ground, smiling, "Successfully accomplished!"

The place went silent instantly as everyone stared at the Divine Tree.

After a long time, a thunderous cheer suddenly erupted! The Divine Tree, one of no more than three in the entire Southern Continent, finally survived in Hidden Stream.

The Blood Parasol has now been transplanted into the soil, no longer needing to be soaked in the dense essence of the Sea King Whale’s life, and the damage to its roots seems to have been repaired, as the branches have straightened up and new buds are even sprouting under the branches. Most importantly, the main trunk that was previously blown apart is now reattached to the lower part, and the strip of bark where they join is much lighter in color, clearly new growth.

Even to those unfamiliar with the Alchemy Dao, it was evident that the tree was thriving, and even more robust than before it was bombed. Elder He stared dumbfoundedly at the Divine Tree, his eyes almost wet, unable to help asking: "How... how did you revive it?"

Ning Xiaoxian said cheerfully: "This is not something to disclose to outsiders. My task is complete, what does Jiumo Sect Leader have to say?"

Jiumo had been distracted all day, not even caring to check the frontline battle reports. Finally receiving this great news, she felt a great relief in her heart. After closely observing the Blood Parasol for a long time, she suddenly asked: "Why is there one less branch?"

Ning Xiaoxian replied unfazed: "It had died during the treatment, so I cut it off." This branch was actually secretly retained by her as a reward. Given her nature to profit from situations, how could she not take advantage of handling such a Divine Artifact? It was thin like a chopstick, who would have thought she could stimulate a Divine Tree from a delicate branch. But the Divine Power needed for the growth of the Blood Parasol is too immense, and merely placing the branch in soil keeps it barely alive. Ning Xiaoxian now had no intention of bankrupting herself to stimulate the Divine Wood.

Now that the Divine Wood was revived, Jiumo couldn’t find any faults. She had already promised that whoever revived the Blood Parasol could become the Immortal Plant Garden Director. Now that Ning Xiaoxian had fulfilled her wish, she too must keep her promise.

So within three days, the news that the long-vacant post of Immortal Plant Garden Director had been filled spread throughout the entire Hidden Sect. Now that Elder He, as Deputy Director, sees her, he respectfully calls her "Director," although she only holds administrative responsibilities and not the title of an elder.

The new official first moves the house. The Director’s residence is much larger and more luxurious than that of a dedicated Pill Master. Her new home is closer to the Immortal Plant Garden, near a small waterfall. Beautiful scenery, yet the water is not too loud. The walls made of entwined vines are covered with blooming wisteria. She refused the maids sent by the Hidden Sect, as she has too many secrets that should not be spied upon.

The large house now, with more than twenty rooms in total, has more than enough space even if Tu Jin and Qi Zai moved in as well.

The demons that are good friends with her all came to congratulate her. This position is a lucrative one, and if managed well, a large amount of Spirit Stones could be easily obtained. However, some older demons reminded her: "Elder He has held the Deputy Director position for hundreds of years and has managed the garden much longer than you." The implication was worrying that Elder He and his Pill Masters might sideline her, making her a figurehead director.

Ning Xiaoxian thanked them for their kindness. Only she knew like a hen eating glowing bugs—clearly aware—she wasn’t actually worried about Elder He sidelining her. That evening, while checking the congratulatory gifts, she unexpectedly found a box containing fresh Purple Sage.

The news of her becoming the Immortal Plant Garden Director did not cause much stir within the Hidden Sect, because a major event happened, overshadowing her news—the forces sent by Guangcheng Palace and Immortal Jade Palace from the Central Human Clan had arrived in The Great West and formally declared joining the support alliance to jointly combat the arrogant Hidden Sect!

This news immediately caused the calm western region to boil over again into chaos. Both immortal sects are behemoths far beyond comparaison to the small sects of the west. They didn’t send just anyone, but experienced elite troops who had served on the Northern Front for many years. Leading the troops from Guangcheng Palace was a cultivator named Zhuo Erxiu, who had served on the Northern battlefield for over twenty years and had not even returned for the Sect Leader’s succession ceremony.

This time back in the sect, the new Sect Leader, Feng Wenbo, immediately reassigned him to command the battle against the Hidden Sect. He arrived during a resting phase for both armies and after going over several battle plans, he couldn’t help but sigh upwards: "What kind of battle is this? It’s just like children playing house!"

In his view, the Northwest Alliance made countless novice mistakes, such as engaging Hidden Sect on the Red Cloud Plateau, which was playing right into enemy hands and letting them exploit their advantage! Another example was the alliance formation, even though the mutual support method was correct, its maneuverability was too poor, often resulting in the alliance forces arriving late after Hidden Sect had already sacked an immortal sect. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

So he immediately adjusted the strategy, and indeed, soon made Hidden Sect suffer considerably. (To be continued.
