I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"One hundred catties of spirit rice, good quality, can be exchanged for twenty contribution points."

The elder of the Mission Hall took the bag of spirit rice, weighed it in his hand for a few moments, and said...

"I wonder if there are any more missions at the Mission Hall?"

Su Changming cupped his hands in greeting and asked.

"The Mission Hall offers missions every day; it just depends on whether you dare to accept them."

The elder of the Mission Hall chuckled.

He probed Su Changming's aura and found that he was at most at the early stage of Qi Refining. What kind of mission could he take in the Mission Hall with this kind of aura?

"May I ask, Elder, are you still short-staffed for the task of guarding the herb garden?"

Su Changming pointed to the notice on the side.

"This task requires mastery of the Lesser Spirit Rain Technique or reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining to accept. Judging from your appearance, you're only at the early stage of Qi Refining... Did you grow this spirit rice yourself?"

The elder of the Mission Hall stroked his chin and looked at Su Changming with great interest.

"To be honest, Elder, my parents are practitioners of spiritual plant cultivation. Although my family has fallen on hard times, I have been exposed to it since childhood and have managed to master the Lesser Spirit Rain Technique."

Su Changming not only concealed the fact that he had mastered the Lesser Spirit Rain Technique, but also fabricated his family background.

Anyway, the elder wouldn't really investigate his identity, so he had to find an excuse to master the Lesser Spirit Rain Technique, right?

"Not bad, you've already mastered the Lesser Spirit Rain Technique at such a young age. The Flowing Cloud Sect has abundant spiritual energy and fertile soil, making spiritual plants a highly sought-after art. If you're interested, you can delve deeper into this field."

My surname is Li, you can call me Elder Li, please come with me.

Elder Li nodded in satisfaction.

With just one sentence from Elder Li, he guessed that Elder Li was probably not a guest elder.

After all, persuading someone to learn about spiritual plants is just like persuading someone to learn medicine in a past life.

While mastering the study of spiritual plants is indeed beneficial to the development of a sect, it is not ideal for the cultivators themselves.

Not only is the cultivation cycle of spiritual plants long and difficult to transform into cultivation resources, but it also requires the medicinal seeds of powerful forces.

This method is universally disliked.

Therefore, when Elder Li heard that Su Changming had a talent for spiritual plants and was even a family heirloom spiritual plant cultivator, his tone immediately softened.

These are some really good oxen and horses!

"We've arrived. This is the Spirit Plant Garden. There's a disciple at the eighth level of Qi Refining guarding it, but his Lesser Spirit Rain Technique isn't very advanced. Everything still depends on you."

Where is Liu Yu?!

After bringing Su Changming to the herb garden, Elder Li shouted.

"Disciple is here! What are your orders, Elder Li?"

Before long, a distinguished-looking man emerged from a nearby house.

"This is the new disciple who came to oversee the herb garden. He has mastered the Lesser Spirit Rain Technique to its full potential. You should take him as your role model and learn from him diligently, striving to master the Lesser Spirit Rain Technique as soon as possible. Is he awake?"

Elder Li said in a deep voice.

"Disciple obeys..."

Liu Yu clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Liu Yu, your Little Spirit Rain Technique is only at a minor level. You'll have to work harder on it from now on. Your monthly contribution points will be doubled to thirty points a month. How does that sound?"

Elder Li then looked at Su Changming and said in a gentle tone.

"This disciple has no objection."

Su Changming also cupped his hands in response.

"In that case, Liu Yu, why don't you show this disciple around the herb garden first? I still need to oversee the mission hall, so I won't stay any longer."

Elder Li nodded, turned around, and rode away on the flying shuttle.

However, he did not take Su Changming with him on the flying shuttle when he came.

Presumably, their strength was insufficient; their spiritual energy couldn't support two people.

"Senior brother, please take care of me in the future..."

Su Changming forced a smile and said to Liu Yu.

According to Elder Li, this Senior Brother Liu Yu is at the eighth level of Qi Refining...

Just by looking at him, his tall stature was intimidating enough, not to mention the spiritual pressure from the eighth level of Qi Refining.

At this moment, Liu Yu remained motionless, coldly watching him.

Su Changming immediately began to think about whether he had offended the other party in some way.

It was clearly their first time meeting.

The contribution points for the herb garden are also distributed at a fixed rate, so I shouldn't have offended them in any way.

Could it be... that this herb garden has some unique benefits that can be obtained?

"Junior Brother Su, please take care of me in the future."

Just as Su Changming was filled with suspicion, Liu Yu suddenly laughed heartily, clasped his hands in greeting, and said...

"Junior brother also comes from a poor family, how come you cultivate spiritual plants?"

Liu Yu spoke again.

"I am not from a poor family; it's just that both my parents are spiritual plant practitioners, it's a family tradition..."

Su Changming explained.

"Family inheritance...that's enviable...Senior brother has other matters to attend to later, so the visit to the herb garden will probably have to wait until tomorrow. Of course, junior brother can also visit on his own, but remember not to damage the spiritual herbs, otherwise, at best you will lose your disciple status, and at worst you will be beaten to death."

Liu Yu nodded and said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will remember this."

Su Changming cupped his hands in greeting.

After Liu Yu walked away, his face turned cold.

Since the consequences are so serious, why not offer a few more words of advice?

Moreover... Elder Li had warned him that damage to the spiritual herbs would only result in compensation of contribution points or spirit stones.

Liu Yu's words were indeed somewhat alarmist.

The other party harbors ill intentions towards me, and the amount is not small...

However, Liu Yu was a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, far beyond what he could possibly contend with.

I never expected that finding a place to settle down would still be fraught with danger.

Well then... let's take a stroll through the herb garden first.

Unable to contain his excitement any longer, Su Changming headed towards the herb garden.

[True Spirit Herb: Consuming it can break through realms]

[Thinking Fruit: Taking it can temporarily enhance comprehension]

【Swift Wind Soars: Contains a large amount of powerful wind spiritual energy, which can be used for alchemy】

[Earthly Fiend Root: Contains the energy of earthly fiends, which can be used for body tempering]

【Jade White Lotus: Contains abundant vitality; it can be consumed to heal wounds and can also be used in alchemy】

【Purple Bamboo: Its texture is tough, comparable to gold and stone, and can be used for forging】

[Superior-grade spirit stones: Contain a large amount of pure spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation and manipulating creatures.]

Fine medicinal herbs, a precious treasure!

After touring the herb garden, Su Changming's eyes were truly shining with admiration.

They wished they could gather all these herbs.

These medicinal herbs encompass cultivation, physical training, and even weapon forging and healing.

And this is just one of the medicine gardens in the Flowing Cloud Sect...

Unfortunately, it cannot be harvested.

These rare herbs all contain miniature magic arrays, which are not very strong in terms of defense, but if they are forcibly picked, they will definitely trigger an alarm.

As for this "superior spirit stone"...

Su Changming looked around, but couldn't find the high-grade spirit stone anywhere.

Finally, by using the appraisal panel, it was discovered that this "superior spirit stone" should be located in the center of the herb garden, serving as an energy source for the array.

A top-grade spirit stone contains a hundred times more spiritual energy than a mid-grade spirit stone.

Unfortunately, he needed one hundred low-grade spirit stones to exchange for one "high-grade spirit stone".

The only benefit of the exchange is to make the absorbed magic power more refined.

With his early Qi Refining stage strength, he had no need for it, so he didn't force himself to exchange it for a mid-grade spirit stone.

"If picking a whole medicinal herb will trigger a formation, what if I secretly eat a single leaf? At worst, I'll just lose some contribution points..."

Su Changming carefully plucked a leaf from the herb he had identified as a True Spirit Grass and put it in his mouth.

Then he cautiously looked at the magic circle.

Good news, the magic circle was not triggered.

The bad news is...

Even if it's just a single leaf, the medicinal effect is far too potent.

He suddenly felt a strange spiritual energy rushing through his meridians, as if searching for a place to settle.

Su Changming immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to concentrate on guiding the process.
