v6c2: The Forest and the Trees Part 1

The difference I feel is in the context of the meeting. They ate the herbs with the Lord Magistrate who was serving peerless experts of the empire and an actual representative of the Emperor. That is the kind of meeting you pull out all the stops for and turn your rare spiritual herbs into a meal for. This is Jin growing herbs specifically for eating regularly, which is a surprising notion, considering pill refining as the usual way to consume resources. It’s the difference between pulling out a rare wine for the visiting vice president versus admitting you drink the rare wine every day because it tastes good.

Mitch McNair

Maybe it has already been noted somewhere, but it is unclear to me why Shou is surprised by the idea of eating the fragrance herbs. Didn't they get such a meal a couple of chapters back in the previous Volume (in the form of a stir-fry) ? Doesn't make sense. Otherwise, a nice start of the volume.

LBNoSc

And waiting….

Chi Kit Wong

well right now only Minyan is there sooooo.....

Len

I think spirit beasts outnumber humans… 10 humans 12 beasts right now by my count

Sean Ulrich

That's the beauty of it. It works both ways.

Truedragon5374

Still waiting

Osvaldo Antonio Carmona Calderón

It not that he wouldn't approve its that Jin is learning the Arts of the Man that All nature type Cultivators an those like Shou an other of similar Paths likely Worship or greatly Respect. Someone they would give up just about anything to just hear one lesson from Shenlong an Jin is pretty much directly learning from him, see as Shen seems to know that Jin is there even through a Memory

Rockinalice

at least it isn't EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!! welcome to the club of impatient patient readers...

Len

It's usually posted around 03:00 where I am in The Netherlands. So another ~6 hours to wait.

RBAWintrow

He might actually approve. Let's not forget that it explicitly states that his master died rather than ascended so his master might have also followed the path of Shennong. The path is rare but it's not unheard of.

Miles Sumida

Where is the editing department?

Miles Sumida

In the editing department ...

Stuffed Duck

And she's in the earth realm.

I would have been even more amusing the other way around. Greet everyone's in human form then switch back.

leopard eye

I don't think Ge has mentioned Yin yet. Perhaps she's napping in her hammock? Wait a moment 😱

leopard eye

Washi is Unassuming & also the SCS & SIS are not as impressed by dragons as average people are, so they don’t spend a lot of observational effort on him. Shou is there to see the plants & gardeners, anything else is not his priority. Bi De is an exception as there was a commotion around him to kick the chapter off & highlight Jins work & the Shen Yu connection.

Cranky Otter

Were is the chapter?

Osvaldo Antonio Carmona Calderón

So, I want to know when someone from SHIS will encounter and recognize that Xiulan is the daughter of an SHIS disciple. The disciples know about Xiulan and that her mother has been trying to get in touch with her. Does Minyan? Also, I have a feeling one of the sect elders will have to recognize there are THREE active bloodlines cultivating at Fa Ram. Maybe Gou will get some advice? And Meiling FINALLY finds out the history of her family and the sign she was born under (poisoner, I assume)??

Samantha Kuhn

Thank you for the chapter! 😁

Kt-x

And innovating on it

Timothy Dana

Welcome to BOC post binging it on another website. It's called withdrawal. It doesn't get easier and each chapter is like a drop of ambrosia in your veins that's never enough. 🤣🤣😭

Alex Ingraham

Soooooo many fun/interesting conversations to explore! I'm not gonna mind one bit if CF draws this out for a bit lol

Alex Ingraham

While it would make for an interesting story, I really don’t want to read something that begins with Fa Ram getting massacred.

Alex

That line is so good. I kind of want it to be in the story

fruit dragon

I just want to pitch the alternate universe from the last book where they lose and there son is sent by dragon to the cloudy sword sect with a bloodline though extinct. That is the most xianxia thing ever and I am down for that

fruit dragon

I'm just waiting for them to come across Gou Ren and go "ANOTHER SPIRIT BEAST?". Only for Jin to correct them and list the humans on the farm. Then they notice that Tigu and Yin are missing on that list.

ENK

Well after Shen Yu showed them his mighty cock, it's only fair for Jin to show them his fiery root!

Z H

Give the man a minute. Jin is still showing them around the grounds and they haven't even had a chance to sit down and enjoy some dragon spit tea yet!

Z H

It's just that as Wha Shi is such a humble and unassuming dragon it's easy to overlook him. I'm sure he will forgive them of they let him taste those 14 fragrance herbs though...

Z H

But what would spiritual herbs grow in the cheesey loam of the moon taste like? These are the important questions that Wha Shi needs answers to!

Z H

I their defense, a lot of people reaction to meeting Be Di the first time is: Chicken Does Not Compute.

Z H

Crap, I just realized sonething... Ge just aired dirty laundry in front of another sect. Allied sect, sure, but still... that's big. Not sure how much is going on behind the scenes but this should prove to all CSS is trying to make amends.

Not a big deal. Look how many people mentioned differential v. deferential!

Oh god Shou is going to Spit Blood and Pass out if he finds out Jin is Learning the Path of Shenlong

Rockinalice

I completely forgotten about that! Yes, I want that so much. Been a mystery in the background for a long time.

Michael Fannon

Ah the noble chicken. Child of Dragons and Phoenixes.

Timothy Dana

Fantastic!! Nerding out on plants with Shou, love it!

Angela Roberts

To expand on what others have said, a cultivar is a plant variety created through selective breeding. They're all the same species, but different physical traits are more pronounced. Probably the most famous example is Brassica Oleracea. Its cultivars include cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan. I think there are others too.

PaulRovinsky

BOTH! BOTH! BOTH!

Sivartius .

This is great. Thank you. I hope we get to see the elder's reaction to the Mysterious Root. Finding a spiritual herb that Shen Yu doesn't immediately recognize is already amazing. But I really want to see Shou's reaction

Sivartius .

The Carolina Reaper is a cultivar, by selective breeding and cross pollination of other pepper plants it was created.

Thomas Axtell

The Fourteen Fragrance herbs are Shou's cultivar that he made. Not what what Jin has.

Thomas Axtell

Don't we all...

Old Dog

this is AWESOME

WolfKnight22

Welcome to the BoC following.

Old Dog

Wish I would have read this before I asked almost the same question :p.

Old Dog

Will Mei Mei get Seal-Scroll Pillar Tree of her own? I take it that Elder Shou was thinking of his own: "...no longer were they Seven Fragrance, but Fourteen Fragrance." If so, when will he mention this to Jin?

Old Dog

It sounds like Jin and Meimei need a cutting of the Seal-Scroll Pillar Tree, like Shou and Yukong. I'm not sure Jin is learning formations formally, but he's smart enough to start picking it up. Or perhaps Bi De and Ri Zu -- either couple (or both) could really benefit from it.

Laura Hemly

But he flies, and I believe Tsuu has drawn him with wings.

Laura Hemly

Thanks!

Trevor Mergen

Oh Yin would definitely fit in. And Tigu will have to step-up in Jins place to tell Xiabao she's beautiful.

Havencross3093

Don't forget, Minyan needs healing too and it's something Meimei can actually DO: draining some of the demonic qi she picked up during the demonic realm invasion. While the CSS has the siphoning formation they haven't yet shared it out. Shen Yu hinted Ge should give it to her in exchange for her assistance in the north, how much better if his granddaughter volunteers to help his 'special lady friend '?

Varieties of plants, like different kinds of tomatoes

Megan

Much like how dog species are bred with each other to obtain animals with a particular characteristic, plants have methods by which they can be grown to have select characteristics. They breeds of plants you obtain through these methods are called Cultivars.

Harish

Nope. I have 12 servers only.

Thank you for the Chapter.

Demian Buckle

BOOZE MASTER! BOOZE MASTER! BOOZE MASTER!

Wumpy

To be fair, Shu noticed the medicine containing draconic Chi, and with only one dragon around, He probably realized himself that Wa Shi was involved in some manner

Angua de Blubb

Didn't they kind of already tie close relations to the farm & village? With the protection paper, protection ritual, seeds and herb growing deal?

Kairo of Sweden

FIRE ROOT! FIRE ROOT! FIRE ROOT!

Arin Storm

Are you a member of 100 servers on discord? If you don't pay for nitro it caps you at 100. It's supposed to give you a pop-up telling you that but I've had it fail before and just do what you described

Rune Shadow

That would be interesting, but Jin also found the root in the unbroken timeline, and the golden tree was implied to be a ginko tree, since all the golden warriors had ginko leaves on them. The closest thing to a remnant of the tree, that we know of, are the ruins that Rags' sect lives in. Rags learned his cultivation style from the wall art in the ruins, and Tianlan described his qi form as an old soldier with ginko leaves growing out of him.

Arin Storm

I just love how clearly this lets us see the alternate path. The world where Jin stayed in the sect, became an underling to Ge's granddaughter, and eventually a personal disciple of Elder Shou. Honestly Shen Yu in this timeline got damn lucky. In all the other ones his son gets stolen out from under him. Though at least in SHI AU Minyan is willing to share.

Anzer'ke

Minyan seeing a whole lot of potential East Wind recruits.

Anzer'ke

I think it makes sense in context. We have seen what the sect at full spec looks like and they are explicitly not making any of these mistakes any more. The whole point therefore is that them being so lax was an error born of cascading failures in their organisation.

Anzer'ke

I'm waiting on their reactions when they see the fire root and other wonders of Fa Ram, like Bi De and Ri Zu transform into humans

Will Gossage

Growing such Herbs in a QI desert such as the Azure Hills?! It may very well be easier to grow plants on the moon! 😤😤

Nyroe

“overly differential” should be deferential I think

He was mentioned The boar, the pink-haired woman, another young woman with freckles and a green strand of hair, and the dragon all nodded.

That was a comfy chapter. I look forward to this visit lasting a lil bit. Lots of interesting conversations to be had and plans that could be made.

Emily Gurnavage

That was just happy.

BelligerentGnu

Oops, he still needs credit for the medicine

Truedragon5374

Serial gobsmacking works too I guess.

Truedragon5374

There is another Cultivator series I like: A Thousand Li by Tao Wong. In it, the MC's sect is one the 3 most powerful in the kingdom. They have 5,000 cultivators. The elder in charge of growing spiritual herbs only has 30 people under her. But she is probably the 3rd most politically powerful elder in the sect, BECAUSE ALL IF THEM NEED WHAT SHE GROWS! People have dueled to join her group. Some of her plants have literal temples built around them to focus just the right chi elements for proper growth. She has a sizable budget to maintain her gardens and aquire more seeds. And yet I get the feeling that the only one in the CSS who know anything about plants is Shou, and it's his hobby more than his job.

Truedragon5374

maybe just "landscaping" instead its not like he's growing herbs on the moon.

STORRM

Eh Terra - Earth Formation - Arrangement isn't exactly a complicated word like microbionics I can see the word coming to be do to the power possible in the world

Mikey The Wolf

Washy is indeed referenced: "The boar, the pink-haired woman, another young woman with freckles and a green strand of hair, and the dragon all nodded."

BargleNawdleZouss

"terraforming" reads very off... There should be some more fantasy word there, not a modern one

Cristi Palincas

Need more. More and much more

MARK MACKNET

Ooooohhh Yeeeaahh that's the good stuff, keep it coming my body is ready. Thanks for the chap captain and good work.

Sardeed

A number of people here in the comments have complained that he wasn't even mentioned this episode. Hence my pointing it out.

Laura Hemly

Can anyone help me with Discord? I click "Join Server" and the Discord site opens (I am logged in) but that's it. It does not show the new server at all. Repeated this multiple times

Harish

As always, thank you for the chapter. Looking forward to rereading it with my coffee in the morning.

Old Dog

Chun Ke is Best Boi

Harish

Because they're so commonplace at the Cloudy Sword Sect that people take it for granted and don't realize how good they have it. The rot ran deeeeeeep there.

N U

To be fair, this is typical cultivator behavior. The students are given tasks and they are expected to figure out the benefits and disadvantages by themselves. In fact, in Volume One, Xiulan makes the same observation when Meiling teaches her about the Siphoning formation. But yes, I do agree with you. Because Jin and his family are focused on all aspects of life, they are growing faster than usual. Which is funny because cultivation advancement comes about through enlightenment, which requires EXPERIENCING LIFE. It is absolutely hilarious that cultivators miss this and instead rely on reagents like characters in bad mobile RPG(s)

Harish

Well, when you learn that the student who left is not only the grandson of your best friend but a transcendent talent of his generation, with potential to rival or surpass his grandfather... well, in the cultivation world, this would be called "FAFO" of the worst kind.

Harish

sounds like a job for the only main cast member who actually uses a sword. yun ren worked with jin for long enough to learn the tricks of the trade.

SilasDrekken

He was also mentioned last chapter. Ge called him a baby dragon

Derek Walker

Phenox percheing parasol tree I believe is the name of the tree in Chinese mythology that Pheonix nest in (I may have this incorrect)

Xavier Harris

Ah, but this way we get to space out the gobsmacking and have more later!

Joanna

Washi IS mentioned in this chapter! Here: "The boar, the pink-haired woman, another young woman with freckles and a green strand of hair, and the dragon all nodded."

Laura Hemly

Don't forget that Lu Ri brought him a whole selection of spirit herbs seeds and cuttings to try growing for the CSS. It was obviously a brilliant idea!

Laura Hemly

I do love that basically every Cloudy Sword Sect person's reaction to talking with Jin is wishing additional retroactive punishment on the guy that almost killed him

CUI13

It would need wings, too, don't forget.

Laura Hemly

100% - and then she'll try and steal the other girls

Often Irrelephant

Another thing, if the Jewel Herbs are so freaking miraculous, why are they grown by the lowerest of outer sect members without any supervision, many of whom seem to see it as a punishment detail? When Jin left, it took them MONTHS to realize ALL the other gardeners were half-assing it. Seriously, I like Shou, but I think his job as Medical Eldar take up too much of his time. The Cloudy Sword Sect needs a dedicated Spirit Gardener Elder. Maybe they can have Jin train a few candidates for the next decade or so.

Truedragon5374

Minyan is going to plot Mei Mei's kidnapping, then realize it's what the demons are planning, wreck the demons for plotting against her granddaughter and smack She Yu for not sharing his jewels in a more private less imperial way so she could protect the children better.

Arnon Parenti

I loved this chapter. The only thing I'm a bit disappointed with (besides not enough Wa Shi) is I was hoping all the students would be in animal form, then would pop into human form one after another. If I remember right, a spirit beast achieving human form is even more impressive than one reaching thr Spiritual Realm. So having 5 of them pop into human form would have really gobsmacked the elders.

Truedragon5374

Shou is either going to be uncle or foster father....and minyan is going to blow a gasket soon as Meimei flexes her powers of healing on gramps

Len

I suspect it is related to the crimson phoenix Emperor's cultivation

Cindermoth

Maybe sew some legs onto a snake plushie?

Truedragon5374

There is a 1/2 so maybe next chapter?

Sean Ulrich

Yes, you'd think he would ask Elder Shou if he has ever seen one before.

Randall Norman Pick

Lmaoooo that yin qi part. Thanks for the chapter CF!

Kasinki

Hoping CasualFarmer makes that the sapling of a Phoenix! I once read a short story about a Phoenix that would build its nest in a special tree—one of fire and life—surrounded by the beauty of the forest. The grass nearby would burn, not in destruction, but to fertilize the soil. The story then shifts to the perspective of the Phoenix, born in an empty nest with no parents, yet surrounded by the fruit of flame and life. It follows the legendary and beautiful creature’s journey, from birth to its final days. At the end of its long and fulfilled life—for only a life well-lived allows a Phoenix to age—it seeks a place like the one where it was born, surrounded by vibrant life. As the Phoenix catches fire, glowing like the morning sun, all that remains is a sapling—ordinary in appearance. Years pass, and the story describes how the tree absorbs the heat and energy of the sun. Eventually, cracks form in its trunk, shaping a nest with what looks to be the egg of a Fenix. And so, the cycle begins anew."

In the Unbroken alt-verse story, Tianlan left a legacy in the form of a massive Golden Tree, which was the source of strength for the Golden Tree Sect (in the Unbroken alt-verse story the Golden Tree Sect is one of the pillars of the Empire along with the Cloudy Sword Sect and Soaring Heavens Isle, and they carry out the Divine Mandate given to them by Tianlan to protect the slumbering Earth Spirits). I will be extremely surprised if the weird root thing isn't a seed for said Golden Tree.

Alex

I've been waiting for this part of the story so much can't wait for more of it!!! 😍

Kaitlyn Crews

I really hope we get the answer, this is likely the best opportunity for it to happen. Could go a lot of interesting directions, for example: it could be a normally mundane herb that has been jacked up to 11 since it's been allowed to grow for so long and actively cared for recently. It could be a uber rare herb with miraculous properties that Jin is defiantly going to try to figure out how to cultivate. (double points of hilarity if he figures out if it get's it's power from it's age, to cut plant it like a potato and cut up the root and replant the separate pieces so they grow back. Infinite 10,000 year old ginseng hack since technically they are all that old) and finally we could have the ancient herb masters look at this root and say: "I have no fecking idea what that is" all roads lead to fun.

jord

Fire root thing please and thank you

Sean Ulrich

Nice!!

Maria Klein

I *know.* I’m just that bad at growing plants. I’ve also had a cactus die under my care and I’m pretty sure the only reason my current house plant is still alive is because I haven’t even looked at it in months and it gets water from the humidity in the bathroom.

CringeWorthyStudios

I wonder if in the future their might be a washi doll?

Kourtney Viles

His voice was strong, and his tone polite without being overly differential. - deferential more likely

I look forward to washi interacting with them and talking about his passion of math and food. Washi is my favorite character

They probably saw it and just thought it was a joke - until they met Bi De.

John D Jones

I am in ecstacy now to ride this high till Thursday! Thanks for the chapter CF!

Katharine Gould

Jin knows how valuable his herbs are, but he doesn’t really care about their monetary value because he’s insanely rich already, and he actively despises cultivation, so he doesn’t really care about their value as cultivation aids either. To him they’re just tasty plants that are fun to grow because of the unique challenges the present.

Alex

Brother Chunky

Al

I doubt that any of the visitors will be meeting Tainlan right now. She's busy hibernating - especially after she had to wake up to help deal with the demonic assault. Minyan might try to snag Yin or Tigu to bring back to her sect.

John D Jones

Can't wait for boozemaster and the hive to put on a show for the guests. Turn fa ram into a literal fairy tail stage. Would probably look best after sundown and give each bee a little glowing dust. Like a drone show but with bees. Also cant wait for the boozemaster to get a human form. Might take a few more books, but I am patient.

Stark Trist

It is the great conflict of instant gratification versus playing the long game in novel form

The butler did it

Casual actually told us on discord. In the “The World of BoC” channel if you search “The root is” you’ll find it. And yes, it’s super rare and important but Jin doesn’t care, lol.

CringeWorthyStudios

I forgot about the mysterious herb! I also hope he doesn’t know and we get the farmer team up to figure it out.

Rake1810

As Xiulan said in book 2 “the heavens were not the goal, they were the consequence of her path. Of her dao.” They’re just so chill that they accidentally ascend. “Oh, don’t worry honey. I’ll make sure to come back down every Sunday for lunch!”

CringeWorthyStudios

But what about the strange root that makes Mei sneeze so much????

Travis Holley

Bi De: "I've been cultivating for three years." Tigu: "Also three years." Meiling: "Nearing the end of year two."

Gray Code

Goes with his philosophy. We give to the land and the land gives back. He treats most people the same way. He gives freely of himself and his knowledge to any that don’t choose to harm those he cares for or knows

Maria Klein

This comment made me snort laugh!

Oh!! I forgot about that! Hopefully it’s something so rare it was thought to be a myth!

So good lol, Tftc! Hope we see Shou’s reaction to the weird hot root lol

James Faulkner

You and me *both.* :)

Geoffrey Sullivan

I’m pretty sure he knows they are super useful but it only matters to him because they aid his wife in healing. Otherwise I’m sure he would have just grown them for their seasoning potential lol

I could read 100 chapters of this, I hope we’ve got a good few more of people seeing all the joys around

bob50000

Okay, by this point Jin has to know that the plants he took with him are actually super useful high grade cultivation plants, right? Or does he still think they're basically weeds and doesn't get what the fuss is about his favorite condiment?

Benji

...is it Thursday yet?

Insertnamehereokokipressedokok

Hah! Wait until they find out most of them are in fact spirit beasts capable of tranforming at will. Also, elder Shou might be the one to recognise that weird root Jin found way back. Or at least get the ball rolling on discovering what it is. That Chekhov's gun has to be fired someday...

Cindermoth

I’m really looking forward to a Minyan POV chapter! Curious to see if she develops any kind of relationship with Jin or Tianlan. I feel like her mothering instincts could connect with Tianlan’s situation

Palmer Evans

Meeting a family member of a long suffered freind and finding out you like them better is always a fun experience.

Daniel Gesualdi

Gramps was worried about Minyan stealing his granddaughter but he missed the real threat of Shou stealing his grandson!

Rake1810

Really enjoyed this and I'm glad Shou is enjoying his time speaking with Jin as a peer on these matters. I'm curious to see his reaction to that mysterious herb. Still betting he has no idea but that may just intrigue him further. I wonder if any of them would be impressed by the beehives. It would also be neat if maybe they could get a live demonstration of Meiling using the formation to help with Shen Yu's injuries. Shen Yu seemed to think Minyan would want to steal her. I do find the idea that there's a very real danger of Shou and Yukong wanting to adopt him away from Shen Yu hilarious as well as a bit sweet.

Voror

" polite without being overly differential" should be "... overly deferential" I'd assume? Anyway, nice chapter. Good to see Shou finally getting rewarded for coming along, and it'll be funny when elder Ge hears about just how much of a genious they let go yet again. At this point they might even consider necromancy just to punish the turd who drove him out again.

ENK

I love this story so much - if only I wasn’t caught up 😭

Palmer Evans

Shou has found a kindred spirit! I wonder if he knows what's the name of the fiery root Jin has?

WarStrider72

It’s a damn shame they missed the sign at the front entrance. But they’ll appreciate it more now I guess.

Sometimes I think of just waiting for at least a few weeks so I can binge this, of course I don't have patience for this

Raraki Kraken

ok i am adopting Shou, he is adorable

Nemoboi

Thanks for the chapter! You did a fantastic job giving us a glimpse into Shou's relationship with Shen Yu and letting us see his joy at Jin's accomplishments. I do hope we get a seen where Shou turns the tables on Shen Yu and threatens to adopt Jin lol

This is the chapter I've been waiting for!!!

taukid

I kowtow to Casual Farmer for the chapter. You're the daddy.

Modesty Goose

Addendum: Shou and Yukong are going to steal his grandson AND grand-daughter. And possibly his great-grandson as well to keep the family together. Waiting for this was utterly aggravating but still so very worth it.

John D Jones

That feeling when you meet people who understand. I’ve described BoC to others as a comfy feel-good series; sort of like sitting on a well used leather armchair with a mug of your preferred beverage and a warm fire, all while rain is pattering on the window. That’s the kind of feeling I get from this chapter. Looking forward to Minyan’s discoveries.

Aki_Iokua18

Jin might be the most humble genius character I've seen. Not even other characters seem to notice most of the time. He just does stuff.

Julia

Awwww shuch short chapter. But I did like that Shou is willing to learn and share his own knowledge with people as a true scholar should.

Orims

Wonderful chapter, thank you!

Xander Williams

Shen Yu and "careful". Might as well start planning the adoption ceremony already >.>
