Chapter 144

The first hundred years was actually equivalent to the cultivation and growth of a hundred years of Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree.

Even because the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree itself was of a higher grade, being a Third Grade Spirit Plant from the start, the total amount of spiritual qi needed was even more.

Not to mention, there was a second hundred years, and a third hundred years.

Therefore, wanting to truly cultivate it was still a very difficult task.

“No matter what, we have to give it a try.

If it’s really not possible, then it’s not too late to give up.”

tan san naturally wouldn’t be like that Qin Ming Qin Lao, who had wasted his cultivation because of spiritual plant cultivation, nor would he be like that old spiritual planter on the notes, who had spent those decades just to plant that Star Origin Spiritual Fruit Tree, just to benefit the future generations, but was not blessed enough to enjoy it himself.

The next day, tan san came to the Star Origin Spirit Fruit Tree at the first opportunity, seeing that the spiritual qi around it had become abundant again, tan san hurriedly began to cast the Wheel of the Year Technique.

One, two, three ……

Perhaps because of the addition of the Small Spirit Gathering Formation, the number of Nian Rou Arts that the Spirit Fruit Tree was able to withstand had also increased to a certain extent.

tan san was able to cast eight Nian Rou Arts before he felt that the spiritual qi within the spiritual land was depleted and could no longer provide enough nutrients.

Thus, only then did he stop, and then began to cast the Spiritual Rain Technique, pouring in spiritual spring water.

It was immediately afterward that he focused his mind on the other spiritual plants.

First was the same third grade spirit plant, the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree.

For this spiritual plant, although he wasn’t as attentive as before, but after all, it was also a third grade spiritual plant, and he wouldn’t neglect cultivating it.

Every day, he would also make several Annual Wheel Techniques to grow its annual growth.

It was only because it had already grown to a hundred years old after all, the amount of spiritual qi it gulped down every day was enormous, and the number of Wheel of the Year techniques it could withstand in a day was limited.

Therefore, he would only use three techniques per day, and each technique would be able to increase its growth for three days.

In other words, it was actually still growing at the rate of ten Wheel of the Year days a day.

As a result, nowadays, on top of the Hundred Year Spirit Tea Tree, there were also many more tender red leaf Spirit Tea Leaves with it.

However, tan san was not in a hurry to pick them.

Instead, he planned to wait for it to grow for ten years before coming back to pick it on a large scale.

After all, a hundred-year spirit tea leaf that had grown for ten years was bound to be sweeter than a hundred-year spirit tea leaf that had grown for one year, and would be more effective for the growth of a cultivator’s spiritual awareness.

In the end, it was tan san who focused his mind on the remaining eight acres of spirit fields.

“Nowadays, there are not many days until Immortal Lotus Jade receives the Qing Yun Grass and Spirit Rhythm Flower once a month.

I’d like to stock up on some corresponding spirit materials as well so that I can complete the monthly handover task.”

tan san naturally did not forget about this and calculated the time as well.

Fortunately, he did not forget to take care of the many spirit materials within the spirit field every day.

The daily yearly wheel technique was constant.

Although the effects were scattered, tan san had long since elevated the Nian Wheel Technique to the realm of perfection, and the efficiency of the Nian Wheel elevation was astonishing.

A Wheel of the Year technique went down, the amplitude of the scattered hundred plants, were able to make that hundred spiritual plants, growth for ten days and half a month of the Wheel of the Year time.

Every day a number of ways to go down, almost every spiritual plant, are able to grow two or three months of the Wheel of the Year time.

Therefore, at this point in time, there were many Qing Yun Grasses that had already reached the maturity stage of three years, and as for the Spirit Rhythm Flowers, the largest batch had already reached nine years of medicinal age.

It would only take two or three days for them to mature and be harvested successfully.

“Also, I’ll have to plan to vacate a spirit field and plant Thunder Spirit Rice.”

Although because of the last harvest, there was still a good amount of Thunder Spirit Rice within his storage bag.

But at best, it would be able to be eaten for a year.

A year could pass in the blink of an eye for a cultivator.

He naturally couldn’t just sit around and eat it.

“Moreover, as far as I know.

Thunder Spirit Rice, in the Qi Clan eight hundred years ago, was a second grade spirit rice.

It was a spirit rice that could be supplied to Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to devour.

But nowadays, the Thunder Spirit Rice Spirit Rice that I cultivated is only of the mid first grade level …… Although all of this is because the batch of Thunder Spirit Rice Rice Seeds that I obtained, after eight hundred years of sealing, the aura and vitality is consumed by most of them, and the Spirit Seeds turn retrograde.

Yet, it is not as if I cannot, once again, optimize its grade and raise it up.”

tan san had long known that there was a difference in grade between spiritual rice.

For example, the Spirit Harvest Rice was of the first grade, relatively ordinary and cheap.

But in addition to Spiritual Harvest Rice, there is also Lunar Rice, Blood Red Rice, Blood Spirit Rice, Spirit Fruit Rice …… These Spirit Rice, there are high and low grades, of which the Lunar Rice is also a first-grade beginning grade, the Blood Red Rice, the Blood Spirit Rice are first-grade middle grades, and the Spirit Fruit Rice is a first-grade high grade Spirit Rice.

The higher the grade, the more expensive the price.

tan san’s Thunder Spirit Rice, not to mention the strange effects, but in terms of value, it really couldn’t compare to the Spirit Fruit Rice.

At least within the Spirit Fruit Rice, the Spiritual Qi contained was definitely more than the Thunder Spirit Rice.

“And as my cultivation level gets higher, the effect of the Thunder Spirit Rice, is bound to get lower and lower.

As a matter of fact, after my cultivation level has risen to the sixth level of Qi Practicing, I can already feel the effect of the Thunder Spirit Rice, diminishing by a large margin.”

tan san silently compared the difference after his cultivation breakthrough, after swallowing the Thunder Spirit Rice daily.

The first thing was that the ‘rice volume’ had increased.

Originally three pounds a day was visible as ‘full’, but now five pounds was needed.

In terms of translating it into his spiritual cultivation, he was able to increase his cultivation by two points per day without the use of the Jade Flower Pill, but most of that was due to the fact that the realm of the gongfu had been raised to the Realm of Great Completion.

In reality, the amount of Spiritual Qi provided by the Thunder Spirit Rice was no longer directly translatable into ‘1’ point of cultivation as before.

That is to say, originally three pounds of Thunder Spirit Rice could be converted into one point of cultivation in the middle of the fifth level of qi cultivation, and now five pounds of Thunder Spirit Rice could not be converted into one point of cultivation in the sixth level of qi cultivation level, and six pounds, or even seven pounds, would be needed to do so ……

“Therefore, cultivating higher grade Thunder Spirit Rice Trees is imperative.

It just so happens that these several plants of Qing Yun Grass have already reached three years of medicinal age and have matured, so why don’t we just pick them and vacate the spiritual land to plant the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.”

As tan san’s mind was racing, he quickly dug out a small area in a second grade early stage spiritual land, about ten or so mature Qing Yun Grass plants, and dug them out by the roots.

Then one by one, he put them into a wooden box and covered them with a sealing talisman.

Then, he took out his Spirit Hoe, and began simple loosening of the soil for this small piece of spiritual land.

At this point, but he did not stop, but from the storage bag, took three pieces of inferior spirit stones, crushed and evenly sprinkled.

It was considered to be the completion of the simple fattening work.

“Next, it’s time to pick the right spirit rice seeds.”

This time, tan san did not intend to plant on a large scale.

Because in that case, what would end up being planted out would only be a first grade middle class level Lei Spirit Rice, which would not be of much use to him.

He already had enough Spirit Rice.

In the case of a person eating it, it was in the essence, not in the abundance.

Therefore, his mind composed itself and surged into his storage bag.

Then with a flip of his hand, he saw ten grains of perfected Thunder Spirit Rice appear in his hand.

These ten grains of Thunder Spirit Rice were the fullest, most vibrant, and most spiritual Thunder Spirit Rice that he had selected.

Although they were still of the mid first grade level, they were the result of his selection of the best of the best from the countless Thunder Spirit Rice.

Then, reaching out, he took some spiritual springs to soak.

Immediately afterward, it was one catalyzing technique after another that was cast out by him.

One, two, three ……

After five passes, all ten Thunder Spirit Rice sprouted root shoots, rapidly pulling up and growing.

tan san did not hesitate and planted them in turn on top of the spirit land that he had just vacated.

Immediately afterward, he used the Wheel of the Year Technique.

A Wheel of the Year Art went down …… ten Thunder Spirit Rice Tree seedlings, and they quickly grew up, growing to a height of half a person before stopping.

This Wheel of the Year Technique directly allowed the ten Thunder Spirit Rice Trees to each grow for a month’s worth of Wheel of the Year time.

Immediately afterward, the second Wheel of the Year Technique went down.

Each of the Thunder Spirit Rice Trees had already grown to the stage where they were about to blossom and bear fruit.

At this time, tan san did not dare to cast the Annual Wheel Technique again, and hurriedly used the Thousand Thunderbolt Flash.

In the blink of an eye, countless thunderbolts sprinkled evenly on top of a single Thunder Spirit Rice Tree under his control, not leaking out to other places in the slightest.

After one, there was another.

It wasn’t until he felt that the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree had already ‘sucked it full’ that he stopped.

Sure enough, soon enough, these Thunder Spirit Rice Trees, one by one, opened up new branches, sprouting young shoots and small flowers.

It was only at this point that tan san continued to cast the Yearning Wheel Technique.

However, it was no longer the Perfection level of the Yearning Wheel Technique, but rather the Introductory, Proficient level, slowly increasing its Yearning Wheel time, and intermittently making Thousand Thunder Flashes, and laying down the power of thunder and lightning.

Of course, during this time, he wouldn’t forget to irrigate the Spiritual Spring and cast the Spiritual Rain Art to increase the Spiritual Soil Aura and enhance the growth rate of the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.

In this way, several rounds passed.

One by one, the Thunder Spirit Rice then blossomed and bore fruit.

And with his continuous spell casting, it grew rapidly until one by one, it ripened and matured completely.

“This one.

Almost three hours of busy work.

All ten Thunder Spirit Rice Trees, completely matured and bore Spirit Rice.

Unfortunately, there is still no Spirit Rice that has advanced to the First Grade High Grade level.

However, my previous thought was right, after selecting the best of the best in this way, the spirit rice cultivated was indeed of a much better quality.

Most of them, are much fuller than those ten grains from before, containing much more spirituality, and much more vitality.”

After tan san harvested all of the Thunder Spirit Rice, he could not help but show a hint of a smile on his face when he silently compared them.

A single Thunder Spirit Rice Tree had borne more than two hundred and fifty grains of Thunder Spirit Rice, at least one third of which exceeded the ten Spirit Seeds that he had selected earlier.

And the dozens of Thunder Spirit Rice with the highest quality among them, in his opinion, were already infinitely close to the first-grade high level.

All that was missing was, once again, optimizing the planting?

“There’s no rush though.

Once a day is enough.

Any more than that, and it will damage the Spiritual Soil.

Moreover, it’s extremely exhausting for my spiritual energy.”

tan san knew that too much was not enough.

His time was tight every day nowadays, and what he was most preoccupied with was actually the planting and cultivation of the Star Origin Spirit Fruit Tree, but it was only because of the limitations of his Spiritual Energy that this could only be done three times a day, with eight Nian Rou Techniques casting spells each time.

Then, tan san landed his gaze on these ten Thunder Spirit Rice Tree trees.

The Thunder Spirit Rice Trees had already been harvested, and these trees, naturally, had no use.

Thus, he used the Life Intercepting Finger again and began to pick up the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree vitality.

One, two, three ……

After several Intercepting Life Fingers went down, tan san had an extra bottle of Vitality Spirit Liquid in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation at all, he then borrowed all of this bottle of vitality spiritual liquid, borrowed the Intercepting Finger, and poured it into the Star Origin Spiritual Fruit Tree.

Then, he utilized another ten or so Nian Rou Techniques.

The Vitality Spiritual Liquid was completely consumed. In contrast, the Star Origin Spirit Fruit Tree once again grew for half a year.

Now, on the other hand, it was already five years old.

The next day.

tan san slightly frowned as he held the Spirit Rice that was still at the mid first grade level in his hands.

“Sure enough, it’s not that easy to break the limit of the grade.”

tan san lamented.

On the third day, it was still the same.

The fourth day.

tan san had only just finished practicing the Eight Styles of Heavenly Yuan when he suddenly sensed the movement of someone knocking on the doors of the formation.

He hurriedly used his Cleansing Technique to cleanse himself before looking at the scene outside the formation.

Because this Flying Star Mountain River Formation was completely under his control, it was because he was able to see through the formation and see the scene outside the formation, that is, outside the valley, while the cultivators outside the formation had difficulty peeking into the scene inside the valley.

At this moment, he saw at a glance that outside the formation, was standing that Fairy Lian Yu.

And along with him, there was actually a female cultivator.

He hurriedly opened the gate of the formation.

“Greetings, Fairy Lian Yu.”

tan san first greeted Hao Lianyu, then looked at the woman who was standing right behind her and said, “You’ve come.”

The person who came was none other than Qian Xiao Yue with whom he had not seen for nearly a month.

“You guys catch up first.

I’ll go to Fellow Daoist Li Pengfei Li’s side first.

Come over later.”

Hao Lianyu glanced at the two of them with a smile on her face, then said, “By the way, Dao Friend Zhou must not forget the Qing Yun Grass and Spirit Rhythm Flowers that need to be handed over every month.

Of course, for the first month, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t plant all of them, you just need to make up for it in the next few months.”

“Please rest assured, Fairy Lian Yu, I’ve already prepared for this.”

tan san smiled, and then lowered a storage bag over.

After the other party received it, with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he indeed found that it was containing a sufficient amount of Qing Yun Grass and Spirit Rhythm Flowers, and with a satisfied smile, he said, “Then I’ll leave you guys to catch up for now.”

After emptying the storage bag, he handed it back to tan san.

Then, he walked out within the valley spirit land with a flourish.

“Fellow Daoist Qian, goodbye.”

tan san looked at Qian Xiaoyue and greeted with a smile

“Not too good!”

Qian Xiaoyue shook her head.

Saying, “This month, you didn’t even come to see me once.”

“I ……”

tan san wanted to explain that he had traveled to the workshop a few days ago, and had planned to pay a visit, but only because he was delayed too late in the Spirit Plant Hall, that he gave up on the matter, and then reacted fiercely, that if he said this, it was estimated that Qian Xiaoyue would be even more angry, and could only wrap his head around it, and smiled awkwardly, and said, “I’m rather busy, and I couldn’t get away for a while… …”

“I know you are rather busy.

So, if you don’t come to see me, I have no choice but to come to see you.”

Qian Xiaoyue glanced at tan san and said to herself.

At these words, tan san slightly moved and was about to say something, but Qian Xiaoyue suddenly showed a despondent look on her face and said, “I’m leaving.”

“Hm?

What’s wrong?”

tan san was startled.

“Two days later, we will be leaving for the Water Cloud Immortal Sect to participate in the Entrance Examination.

So, I actually came this time to say goodbye to you.”

Qian Xiaoyue said slightly sadly.

“Entrance examination?

Two days later, so soon?”

tan san was startled, but he had already known that Qian Xiaoyue was about to head to the Water Cloud Immortal Sect to participate in the once a year entrance examination.

It was just that he did not expect that it was so soon.

“That’s right.

So, you still decided not to join me and travel to the Water Cloud Immortal Sect to participate in this Sect Entrance Examination?”

Qian Xiaoyue looked at tan san and inquired.

tan san was slightly silent, nodded, and said, “At what hour in two days, I will come to see you off.”

“No need.”

Qian Xiaoyue shook her head, raised her head to look at the sky, and said, “The Water Cloud Immortal Sect is located in the Southern Border Region, and is 5,000 li away from here, just to catch the road, it will take two to three months.

Once we say goodbye this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see each other again.

The Immortal Cultivation World is full of crises.

Instead of being nostalgic, it would be better to be frank.”

Qian Xiaoyue said this under her breath, but her eyes were slightly reddened.

Turning her body so that tan san could not see, she said, “I know that you have aspirations in your heart, yearning for longevity, and longing to build a foundation to become a Taoist.

I also believe that with your growth rate, you will definitely be able to become one in the future.

Instead of risking walking up a few months journey, it is indeed more appropriate to stay in this Divine Wind Valley workshop and wait until the Qingyuan Sect opens its entrance examination a few months later to join the Qingyuan Sect ……”

“Even I, why am I not longing for, that glimmer of possibility?”

Qian Xiaoyue said, and her tone could not help but reveal a hint of hesitation.

She had originally thought of resolving with tan san over this, without a trace of contact, but there was ultimately some reluctance in her heart, making it difficult to do so.

“Not really.”

tan san hesitated and said, “It’s just that since we are in this Immortal Cultivation World.

Who wouldn’t desire to cultivate immortality and live long?

I know what you mean.

How about we make an agreement.

Twenty years is the limit, if after twenty years, if I am still unable to build my foundation, then I will head to the Southern Border Region and run to the Water Cloud Immortal Sect to look for you.

I just hope that by then, you won’t forget this agreement of ours.”

“This must not be possible.”

Qian Xiaoyue’s eyes instantly brightened up, turned around with an open heart, red eyes, and said, “Then I will wait for you for twenty years.

Perhaps by then, it is not impossible for me to build my foundation one step ahead of you.”

Saying that, she slightly displayed her cultivation, and it was clear that she was already at the fifth level of Qi Practicing.

Then, with a flip of her hand, she took out two golden treasures and said, “Moreover, during this period, we won’t necessarily break our ties in earnest.”

“This is?”

tan san froze.

“A Telecommunication Treasure!

It allows for ultra-long distance summoning.

It is said that it can be transmitted up to ten thousand miles away.

It’s just that every transmission requires the consumption of Spiritual Qi, and the farther the distance, the more Spiritual Qi you need to consume.

On top of that, there is also a treasure called the Sumeru Teleportation Disk, but it’s just that the price is too expensive, and it’s not sold in the entire Divine Wind Valley workshop.”

As Qian Xiao Yue said that, she handed one of the golden treasures to tan san and said, “With it, we can also still contact each other from time to time.

Even if there are problems, we can still discuss with each other.”

“This, how many spirit stones did you spend on this Transmission Treasure Guide?”

tan san looked at her with some surprise.

“Twelve thousand lower grade spirit stones.

It just so happens that that White Jade Spotted Fish sold for that much last time, and besides, we all had a share in that fish, so I took it upon myself to buy these two pieces of Transmission Treasures.”

Qian Xiao Yue said with a smile.

When tan san heard this, he was stunned and only felt a deep feeling of affection that pressed on his heart.

“It’s a long way to go, so I don’t know what I have to give you.

Just give you some spirit talismans, at least you will be able to defend yourself.”

After a moment of silence, tan san spoke as if he had remembered something.

Then with a flip of his hand, a bunch of spirit talismans appeared.

Among them were both sealing talismans and summoning talismans.

Among the sealing talismans, most of them were first-grade high-grade finished talismans and limit-breaking talismans, and among the talismans, most of them sealed the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique that he had performed.

It should be known that among the sealing talismans made by tan san, the first-grade high-grade finished talisman could seal the small-completion level Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, and once it was released, it would be comparable to the full-force strike of a cultivator at the seventh level of qi cultivation.

On the other hand, a Grade 1 High Grade Limit Breaking Talisman sealed a Grand Completion Level Five Elements Lightning Transformation Technique, which was far more powerful than a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Practicing, and was almost comparable to the full force strike of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Practicing.

This pile given by tan san, there were more than twenty first grade high grade finished talismans, and there were also five first grade high grade limit breaking talismans, if they were spread out together, the Foundation Establishment realm would be just fine, but for cultivators at the Qi Practitioner level, it was estimated that no one would be able to withstand them.

And in addition to the sealing talisman, he also gave a bunch of summoning talismans, which were the Hairy Stiffness Talisman and the Evil Face Ghost Talisman.

Among them, most of them were finished talismans, but there were about ten of them, which were limit-breaking level, and could summon hairy stiffs comparable to cultivators at the third level of qi cultivation to come out and fight for them.

As for the Evil Face Ghost Talisman, it was a summoning spirit talisman that he had just mastered.

Because it was a high grade spirit talisman, this Evil Face Ghost Talisman, even if it was just for starters, could summon an Evil Face Ghost comparable to those at the third level of qi cultivation.

A high-quality talisman level evil face ghost talisman can summon an evil face ghost comparable to the fourth level of qi cultivation.

However, after all, tan san had just mastered this spirit talisman not long ago, so most of the evil face ghost talismans were at the introductory level, and there were only ten at the high-quality talisman level, which wasn’t much.

After handing these spirit talismans to Qian Xiaoyue, tan san also explained the power and function of these spirit talismans in detail.

“These spirit talismans, you drew them all?”

Qian Xiaoyue’s eyes widened as she listened, her heart incomparably shocked.

A sealing spirit talisman that was comparable to the full force of a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, a sealing spirit talisman that could pose a threat to a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi cultivation?

Such a powerful spirit talisman, was it really from the hands of a cultivator at the ‘fourth level of Qi Practicing’?

Moreover, besides the sealing talisman, there was also a summoning talisman?

She knew that the preciousness of the Summoning Talisman was not only the difficulty of refining the talisman, but also the method of drawing the Summoning Talisman itself, which was also invaluable.

As a result, tan san easily took out dozens and hundreds of them at this time ……

Like a dream.

She could hardly believe her ears.

However, with the actual spirit talisman in her hands, she had to admit that all of this was actually true.

Could it be that tan san was a talisman-making genius?

She knew that the other party had not been in contact with talisman making for a long time.

However, the results nowadays were really scary to her.

Not to mention this gift from the other party, it was too expensive.

The value is also too high.

It was far better than her Transmission Treasure.
