Chapter 793 Fourth-Order Mid-Grade Fusang Tree (3K Bonus Chapter, Still Owed)
Han Shan revealed a simple and honest smile, and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Thank you, Master! Your words were so impactful that I was completely absorbed in them."

After you cast the spell, I naturally entered a state of enlightenment, without consciously trying to understand the Earth Element Divine Will, but instead focusing all my attention on enlightenment.

The fact that his master casually mentioned burying the ashes of twenty Nascent Soul cultivators under the tree as fertilizer stirred up a storm in his heart.

At that moment, he really wanted to ask, 'Master, are you really Ling Nong?'

Where can one find a spirit farmer who can kill Nascent Soul cultivators at will? Such a record should only be attainable by top-tier sword cultivators!

Unconsciously, he let go of his obsession with comprehending the divine will of the earth element, and then opened his mind to truly and sincerely comprehend it for a moment without any ulterior motive.

The Way follows nature, and indeed the Way is right there, waiting to be heard and discovered by those with a discerning eye.

Ji An walked to his disciple's side, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him:

"My role is merely to set the stage; things will only bear fruit when you have accumulated enough experience."

The disciple had actually reached the edge of success, but was blocked by a thin layer of 'window paper'.

He showed his disciple what was behind the window paper, and the disciple naturally understood its true meaning.

The disciple needed an opportunity, and he just happened to provide that opportunity; everything was so perfectly in sync.

Lin Lan cupped her hands in greeting, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Congratulations, junior brother! I'm so jealous!"

She now finds herself only having the title of senior sister, but failing in all aspects of cultivation.

She couldn't remember when this started, but she felt a sour taste in her mouth, like eating unripe grapes.

Han Shan smiled sheepishly. Only he knew how many nights he had pondered. No effort would be in vain. As long as he persisted in nurturing it, it would be waiting in some hidden corner for the day it would blossom and bear fruit.

Five-colored auspicious clouds rose from beneath Ji An's feet. "Next place, the Black Spirit Field."

He led his disciples to fly above the pond, made a hand seal to release the Dragon Soaring and All Things Grow, and the Azure Dragon formed from the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner also flew over, resonating with its master's spell to enhance its effect.

Then, three long dragons, two green and one black, began to tumble in the clouds, their roars echoing endlessly.

“The situation here is special. In the black and cyan spiritual fields, I only need to release the Dragon Soaring to All Things and in the red spiritual field, I only need to release the Vermilion Bird Profound Brightness Technique. I don’t need to release earth-elemental spells to regulate the earth’s energy.”

He didn't understand why before, but he understood when he was refining the Five Elements Divine Mountain. It was because the soil here contained high-level earth-element spiritual objects such as Black Emperor's Marsh Soil and Azure Emperor's Splendid Soil.

All of this must be a gift from the stone tortoise. If the Gathering Yuan Tree had such an effect, there would be no other spiritual roots of heaven and earth to be ranked alongside it.

Han Shan couldn't help but exclaim, "It's truly amazing!"

Lin Lan seemed to be deep in thought, and said:
"If we can figure out the reason, we might be able to find out why the soil here is so magical, that it can grow spiritual plants that require a special growing environment."

Ji An maintained his smile; he was pleased that his eldest disciple was seriously considering the problem.

He didn't intend to tell the other party about the Black Emperor's Marsh and other spiritual lands, as that was information accessible only to those at the Nascent Soul level, and knowing it now would only cause them more trouble.

The stone turtle's uniqueness is what gave rise to the gourd world, and the small world itself must also have some unique characteristics.

Han Shan nodded in agreement and then asked:

"Master, what is the grade of this spirit field?"

“The spirit fields have all reached the middle grade of the fourth rank. Lin Lan is right. The spirit fields nourish the spirit veins. In a few years, the small world will be able to be upgraded to the middle grade of the fourth rank.”

Twenty years after the Gathering Yuan Tree was upgraded to the fourth-grade upper level, the yellow spirit field was the first to be upgraded to the fourth-grade middle level. Three years later, the red spirit field was upgraded, and half a year ago, the other three spirit fields were upgraded one after another.

The spiritual roots of heaven and earth played a very significant role in this. Ji An once imagined what a magnificent scene it would be if five different spiritual roots of heaven and earth of the five elements were planted in the small world.

Just thinking about it makes me tremble with excitement; I wonder if this dream will ever come true.

The three of them rode on clouds to the sky above the azure spirit field, where A-Yun was directing several puppets to harvest the seeds of the Azure Moon Purple Spirit Coral.

All the spirit cedar trees have now been cultivated to the fourth-grade low level, and two of them have even reached the fourth-grade mid level. This is the first time that seeds of this batch of spirit trees have been harvested.

With this batch of spiritual seeds and fourth-grade high-quality Five-Flower Pills, Ji An's cultivation is about to enter a fast track of improvement.

Lin Lan asked:

"Master, how large is the small world now?"

"About 600 mu."

The spiritual veins of the Calabash World have been upgraded to the fourth tier, and the area of ​​each type of spiritual field has increased by approximately twenty-five acres, from the initial five hundred acres to the current area.

Somewhat awkwardly, the combined area of ​​the black and cyan spiritual fields is 250 acres, which cannot be completely covered by releasing the Dragon Soaring All Things Life spell once, leaving several dozen acres outside the range of the spell.

Han Shan observed the spirit field, pointed to a spirit tree, and asked:
"Master, that spirit tree with charred bark and leaves very similar to the Azure Jade Tree of the Nether Moon, is it a mutated variety?"

"Yes? That's a jade tree struck by lightning and shrouded in gloom."

"Even small worlds have heavenly lightning?"

"Unless a spirit fish or spirit bee breaks through to the Demon King level, there won't be any heavenly lightning here, but I can unleash lightning magic." Ji An recounted how he cultivated the lightning-struck wood and smiled.

"The conditions in the Calabash World are exceptionally favorable. In just a few months, the planted seeds can be upgraded to the second-tier top-grade, and then the Wood-based divine lightning can be released to strike them."

If you're lucky enough, you might harvest a lightning-struck tree.

Now that the sect's spiritual veins are of a high enough grade, once you have mastered all the planting techniques to their fullest potential, you can use this method to cooperate and see if you can get a lightning-struck tree.

This revitalized spirit wood can break through its original limits and be cultivated to a higher grade.

Unfortunately, seeds of lightning-struck wood cannot be used to grow new lightning-struck wood.

The two disciples exchanged glances, both inwardly exclaiming in surprise, 'You can play like this?'

Lin Lan smiled wryly, "We still need to find a partner who is proficient in Yi Wood Divine Lightning. I think that apart from you, no one in the sect has practiced this lightning technique to a high level."

"Master, you've mastered the Yi Wood Divine Lightning technique to its fullest extent, haven't you?"

Although it was a question, her tone was full of certainty, because she felt it was a matter of course.

Any spell, once it falls into the hands of a master, will be perfected to its fullest potential within a few years.

"Yes, if you cultivate a batch of second-tier spirit wood, you can ask me for help."

As for which type of spirit wood to cultivate into lightning-struck wood, you can refer to the categories I have here.

Ji An laughed, saying that when he unleashed the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, he felt a sense of exhilaration, as life and death were instantly decided under the blue lightning.

Most spirit trees, after being struck by lightning, lose all life from the treetop to the roots, and all their leaves turn to ashes. However, if even one spirit tree sprouts a new bud, the immense happiness it brings will give one unparalleled satisfaction.

Once his cultivation reaches the mid-Nascent Soul stage, he will designate several plots of land on Crimson Flame Peak to implement this method, leaving behind a legacy for the sect.

Han Shan gazed into the distance and asked:
"Master, how many lightning-struck trees are there in the small world?"

Lin Lan opened her eyes wide, waiting for her master's answer.

Ji An answered without hesitation:

"There are currently thirteen lightning-struck trees. You may not have noticed them, or they may be hidden by other spiritual plants. There are two lightning-struck earth spirit fruit trees on the edge of the yellow spiritual field."

In this azure spiritual field, there is a Nether Moon Jade Tree and a Green Ivy Tree; in the crimson spiritual field, there is a Fire Immortal Apricot Tree, two Spirit Peach Trees, two Dragon Blood Trees, and four Crimson Cloud Pines.

Currently, no water or metal elemental wood spirits have survived under the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

The Crimson Cloud Pine, Dragon Blood Tree, and Spirit Peach are relatively easy to cultivate, but only relatively speaking. Lightning-struck Wood is extremely rare; these dozen or so spiritual plants took me over fifty years to cultivate.”

When cultivating lightning-struck wood, priority should be given to using valuable spiritual plants that cannot break through to the fourth tier as test subjects. Firstly, spiritual seeds are easy to obtain, and secondly, they can be used more widely after successful cultivation.

Han Shan thought for a moment and asked:

"Master, how many spirit trees have you witnessed dying under the divine lightning of the Wood element?"

"I can't remember exactly, but roughly speaking, there should be several hundred thousand plants."

Ji An didn't deliberately calculate the success rate; he planted whatever spirit seeds he had, focusing on not being picky.

These lightning-struck trees grow rapidly and require a larger area of ​​land. Two of them are already at the fourth-tier mid-grade level, four are low-grade, and the rest are all cultivated in the last ten years or so and are at the third-tier top-grade level.

Decades later, when a large quantity of lightning-struck wood fruits have ripened, Ji An will send a batch of fruits to the Treasure Pavilion.

The two disciples smiled wryly; the success rate was far too low. However, they felt relieved after recalling the various benefits of lightning-struck wood recorded in the ancient texts.

The wood, spiritual fruit, and leaves of lightning-struck wood are all considered high-quality resources and are hard currency in cultivator transactions.

Ji An made a hand seal and released it into the azure spiritual field. A dragon roared in the sky, and spiritual rain fell like jade.

The three flew to the crimson spirit field and hovered above the lava lake.

The hibiscus tree is about 16 feet tall, but it has stopped growing in recent years, and many small branches have grown on its two main branches.

The leaves are red with golden veins, and under the cover of the leaves grow mulberries that are as thick as a thumb and more than five inches long.

This type of mulberry looks similar to the mulberry of the Jade Leaf Mulberry, with each one plump and its color resembling that of the leaves of the Spirit Tree. It's difficult to spot the mulberries without close inspection. Once the mulberries turn golden, they are ready to be consumed.

"This hibiscus tree is now a mid-grade fourth-order spirit tree, and its fallen leaves are the best food for the Crimson Gold Carp."

Ji An explained that after the Juyuan Tree was upgraded to the fourth-grade superior level, he buried the remaining jars of Nascent Soul True Demon bone ashes under the Fusang Tree.

The inheritance he received did not record whether mulberries could be refined into elixirs. He would keep a few mulberries and consume the rest directly.

Without the relevant formula, even if one obtains the formula, it would still take time to gather the medicinal materials, and it's unknown how many years it would take to gather enough.

Instead of worrying about which pills to refine, it's better to consume them directly. The effect will be less, but it will allow you to convert resources into strength immediately.

　As is customary, the midday update is an extra chapter; I forgot to mark it, there are still 5.4 words to go.
