Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 188 Dao Seed Upgrade
Chen Jing went through the accounts, looked up, and found that the middle-aged monk had returned at some point.

——Wu Zhiqing.

The eldest brother specially sent back from the front line to help him deal with the professionals of the evil spirits.

So far, he is the second cultivator in the Shenzang period who obeys his orders, after Master Yu.

"The Ye Fan that Junior Brother Chen has taken a fancy to doesn't seem to have any outstanding performance."

Wu Zhiqing said with some disappointment.

Ever since he arrived, his attitude towards the entire Demon Slaying Division has not been good.

There is a deliberate sense of alienation, as if everyone is not the same kind of person.

Chen Jing thought that he had some grievances with him, but after finding that everything he was asked to do was done in a timely manner, he no longer cared.

"I am attracted to Ye Fan, not because of his performance."

"That is?"

"His talent."

"Your talent for cultivation is indeed not bad, but if you are not good at fighting, it is better to go back and plant spiritual plants earlier."

Wu Zhiqing was losing interest.

Seeing Chen Jing's noncommittal look, I couldn't help but say something more.

"Excuse me, Junior Brother Chen is too nice to the disciples of the Demon Slayer Division."

"How can you go into battle and kill evil demons if you are not fully paid?"

"Of course we need to pay full salaries, but we should pay full salaries to those who can really kill the evil spirits, not to give them indiscriminately. There is a saying that goes, 'No merit, no reward.'"

"What Senior Brother Wu said makes sense. I will consider it."

Having said this, Senior Brother Wu felt bored and said goodbye and left.

"It's difficult."

Chen Jing actually discovered this problem. According to his own understanding, he tried to train a group of excellent disciples of the Demon Slayer Division by giving them the maximum benefits, but the casualty rate...

Some can't stand it.

Elite-level investment resulted in cannon fodder-like deaths.

In other prefectures, alliances similar to the Demon-Slaying Division were formed, and large numbers of disciples were killed like cannon fodder.

But the problem is that they are just cannon fodder.

Everyone is losing money, and the Demon Slayer Division is losing especially much by investing in cannon fodder.

Chen Jing feels that as time goes on, his investment will definitely get the due return.

Just consider whether you can hold on until the day of reward.

"I hope Ye Fan can give me this surprise."

Chen Jing left here and went to the dormitory of the Demon Slaying Division.

What Senior Brother Wu said about the good welfare of the Demon Slaying Division disciples makes sense. After being selected, they will be assigned to a small courtyard with eight people, which has a first-grade spirit gathering array. Even if the benefits brought by a first-grade spirit gathering array are very limited... but there are too many people who have nothing.

For the other two schools and one temple, one can only get a room after the internship period, and they are ordinary houses.

Dormitory conditions are just one of the benefits. The food is also of the level of formal members of the two schools and one temple, and there is also a smooth path for promotion.

Apart from carrying out life-threatening missions, in other aspects, his performance is already at a level that most of the young masters of wealthy families envy.

Ye Fan is extremely talented, but what really makes Chen Jing look at him differently are other factors.

He is currently the only spiritual plant cultivator who has cultivated to the level of enlightenment!

……

"call!"

Ye Fan woke up from a nightmare, covered in cold sweat.

Ever since the last test, when he was dragged into a nightmare and was slaughtered by evil demons, the aura of the nightmare world has been left on his body. Occasionally, he would be dragged into it in his dreams and experience it all over again.

Whenever a nightmare strikes, he responds proactively and thinks of countermeasures.

But once Wei Ning is involved, the nightmare will quickly get out of control and eventually wake up.

A nightmare that doesn't scare people is not a nightmare.

Ye Fan also understood from this that he was not afraid of evil spirits, but he was afraid that the only person who cared about him would be hurt.

"Now that I have woken up from the dream, I might as well practice."

He looked at the bright moon outside the window, tossed and turned, got up and went to the courtyard to absorb the power of the moonlight. When he reached the orifice, he had to fill the three orifices of essence, energy and spirit.

Every time a ray of spiritual energy fills the spiritual orifice, a sense of peace is felt in the heart.

Ye Fan didn’t know.

At this time, the head of the Demon Slaying Division was standing by, watching him practice.

"It really proved my guess. The Tao Seed evolved as the parasite became stronger."

Chen Jing opened the hybrid book.

There is a lot more information under the Dao Seed column.

【Tao Seed Spores】

[One star → Two stars]

[Description: After being parasitized by a mortal, the special hybrid spores will advance as the mortal's cultivation progresses. Under normal circumstances, the Dao Seed will no longer harm the host by absorbing spiritual energy and blood, but it will still absorb the host's spiritual energy and blood.]

[Replacement restrictions: You cannot upgrade Dao Seeds to higher levels by consuming mana, but you can replace Dao Seeds of the same level.]

[Re-hybridization: Allows hybridization with other spiritual plants. 】

From the original first level to the second level, the restriction of having to provide spiritual power once within seven days was also lifted.

After reading the description below, Chen Jing suddenly understood.

This thing has become a pure benefit.

[Under other circumstances, two-star Dao Seed Spores will randomly add an additional main label, which will be initially (white). Only the master of the Hybrid Book can consume mutation points to improve its quality. ]

The original Dao Seed only had two main entries, the golden "parasitic combination" and the "spiritual accumulation" that granted the qualification for cultivation.

The parasitic combination comes from the deformed spores, and the soul comes from the Peiyuan rice.

After the promotion, an unknown tag was added out of thin air.

Chen Jing looked at Ye Fan.

The third main entry of Ye Fan’s Dao Seed has been formed.

【Tag: Three-line cycle (white)】

[Description: The five internal organs can only contain three types of spiritual energy and then circulate.]

"what?"

Chen Jing was a little surprised.

He had seen the three-element circulation in classics. For a certain special physique, in the middle stage of enlightenment, when the five elements of spiritual power were gathered and circulated, all he needed to do was collect the three elements of spiritual power!

You know, Chen filled up the wind spiritual power, moonlight power, pure spiritual energy, and merit and vow power in sequence. Only when four of the five were filled could he derive the last shadow spiritual power by himself.

During this period, I put together pieces from here and there, and only by luck did I manage to get four that did not conflict with each other.

If he had the 'Three-Line Cycle' at that time, he could save the trouble of collecting one type of spiritual power, which would be safer and less stressful.

"What a great entry! With this item, the difficulty of cultivation for spiritual plant cultivators in the Tongqiao stage will be greatly reduced!"

Chen Jing immediately used the hybrid book to save the second-level Dao Seed template on Ye Fan.

Your entry is very good, I will confiscate it!
immediately.

New ideas then emerged.

Ordinary Dao seeds can be upgraded to second-level Dao seeds, so what about other types of Dao seeds?
He has only developed one type of Tao seed so far.

That is, it is a combination of deformed spores and Peiyuan rice, so that ordinary people can also have the ability to practice, and to provide a basic guarantee for this ability.

The mutated spores can also hybridize with other types of spiritual plants and then be implanted into the human body.

This ability was tested a long time ago.

Because most of them were simply to increase lethality, and were not useful in the general environment at the time, Chen Jing did not continue to develop them.

Until now.

He then remembered the old plan that had been forgotten.

"I now need a new guarantee, a guarantee of combat effectiveness."

During the earlier experiments, Chen Jing preliminarily determined that a cultivator in the Soul Accumulation Stage could accommodate no more than two spore species, and no more than three in the Orifice Opening Stage.

This is the perfect time to start developing the second and third seeds.
