Tang Rao has read language books before.
On Blue Star, there happens to be such a text in the elentary language book, which talks about kids holding pots with seeds. An old man asked them to plant seeds in the pots, but only one child's seeds didn't bloom.
After the child admitted it, the king praised the child for being clever, saying the seeds were cooked, and how could cooked seeds sprout?
But the story in the book couldn't be the sa as in the Land of Immortals.
Who the heck cares if you're honest or not?
If honesty is tested in the Earth Domain, Tang Rao might as well die right now!
One after another, people completing tasks stepped into the Earth Domain, and as more people gathered from various places, they all had seeds in hand, grinning from ear to ear.
"Too easy, the Heavenly Domain was so tough, I thought it would get harder as it went on, but this challenge turned into farming."
It's simply an insult to our intelligence.
A few guys ca in with their arms around each other, talking big.
"Big brother, leave the farming to . You take so ti to see if there are any fools with a lot of money around, let's bully a couple to pass the ti?"
The guy making the bad suggestion is really ugly.
Tang Rao watched their every move as soon as a few guys entered.
The speaker didn't an harm, but the listener took it seriously.
The guy called big brother had suffered a lot too. Having finally entered the Earth Domain, he definitely wanted to find soone to bully and flaunt.
"Alright, I'll do it."
Big brother handed the seeds to his little brother and swaggered over to a busy spot.
"You all, hand over your seeds."
The man stood with arms akimbo in front of so weak individuals, daring only to bully these people.
"Idiot."
Tang Rao was still pondering how to plant cooked seeds when a big idiot showed up, asking for a beating.
"Brother Tang Rao, keep your voice down. We finally entered the 'Earth' Domain, complete the task quickly and leave. Who knows how many more people will suffer here."
Ba Wangba was adept at reading people, knowing the other party's intention wasn't good, it's better not to stir trouble.
"Ah, why are you hitting people?"
An old man squatting in the corner, who hadn't said a word, was dutifully planting seeds, when suddenly big brother ca over and slapped him in the face.
"Because I don't like the look of you."
Hahaha.
The few people big brother brought along clutched their bellies laughing.
Just because I don't like the look of you, I hit you, so what?
Their reasoning made sense.
"Is there no law anymore?"
The old man didn't fight back. He picked up the soil, poured it into the pot, then picked up the seeds and stood them in the soil.
"Here, I'm the law. If you're smart, hand over your pot and seeds, withdraw from the contest early, and I'll spare your life."
Big brother was still ignorantly rambling.
Tang Rao glanced at the old man, just a shabby old fellow dressed poorly. No one else even noticed the old man's presence, yet at a glance, Tang Rao was utterly shocked.
He couldn't gauge the old man's strength, he actually couldn't gauge it!
Either he's trash, or his power surpasses Tang Rao's.
How could trash survive from the Heavenly Domain?
"Stop it, bullying an old man, what's the skill in that?"
Tang Rao placed the pot on the shaky ground and dusted off the soil before standing up!
"Brother Tang Rao, I just told you, don't show off, why don't you listen?"
Ba Wangba sighed, and since Tang Rao had stood up, it was too late for Ba Wangba to stop him.
"Who are you, keep your nose out of this."
Big brother had spotted Tang Rao's strong physique and sensed he wasn't soone easy to provoke, so he specifically detoured to bully the old man.
Unexpectedly, he stood out for justice.
"I'm your daddy!"
Tang Rao slapped him, leaving big brother no chance to retaliate.
How could he retaliate, he's rely a soon-to-breakthrough Ninth Level Immortal Monarch.
"You must rember benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. If daddy sees you bullying honest people again, I'll beat you so hard your parents won't recognize you, idiot."
After venting, Tang Rao happily trotted to the old man and handed him a bottle of ointnt, "Old man, this ointnt reduces swelling, pain, and bruising. Though not as effective as Immortal Elixir, it works quite fast."
Just handing the ointnt to the old man, Tang Rao returned to his original spot.
The old man's eyes brightened; he hadn't expected to et soone of such good character upon venturing out.
Having soone like this in the Land of Immortals is rarity indeed.
The old man took a piece of the ointnt Tang Rao handed him and applied it to where he'd been slapped. Instantly, a refreshing coolness spread across the beaten area, just as Tang Rao said, the pain was gone.
There was nothing but good stuff in the ointnt—Qiyou Flower, No-tail Leaf—these ingredients are extrely rare. For Tang Rao to give out such precious items, he's being overly generous.
On his way back to where he was standing earlier, Tang Rao sensed goodwill from the old man's gaze several tis.
"Brother Tang Rao, you're always like this, enjoying being the center of attention. What if the lilight doesn't shine on you but brings trouble instead?"
Ba Wangba expressed his concern.
This is the Land of Immortals, not Blue Star, where people still have so sense of humanity.
Even the relationship between Ba Wangba and Tang Rao is quite superficial.
"It's fine, I just can't stand soone troubling the old man."
Tang Rao spoke firmly, and the old man had sharp ears; how could he not hear what was being said?
"I just checked; the old man's seeds weren't cooked, they're fine, soone must be trying to get back at !"
Tang Rao now used a transmitting voice technique.
Ba Wangba paused: "Soone's ssing with us, who would be so bored to tamper with this kind of thing?"
The seeds were given by Xao Tiao; could it be Tang Rao teased Xao Tiao, and Xao Tiao retaliated by giving Tang Rao cooked seeds on purpose?
That girl doesn't seem like soone who holds grudges.
"Forget it, cooked seeds or not, I can revive the dead, and make cooked seeds bloom, just watch!"
Tang Rao couldn't fake anything; each seed had the unique mark of the Ice and Snow World, and what grows from them will clearly show if it matches their task.
"Brother Tang Rao, is your brain alright? I've never heard of cooked seeds blooming."
In his urgency, Ba Wangba forgot to talk to Tang Rao using the transmission technique.
Cooked seeds?
A few people not far from Tang Rao quickly dug up their seeds to check if they were cooked too, and upon confirming they weren't, they all sighed in relief and continued fertilizing.
Upon hearing Tang Rao's seeds were cooked, the old man shakily carried his pot and approached Tang Rao, saying, "Young friend, let see your seeds."
Uh-oh, looks like the old man heard their conversation earlier.
"Old man, it's fine, just ran into a little problem, I'll solve it myself, no need to trouble you."
