Immortality and Cultivation: I can extract entries from all things.

Chapter 8 Green Entries -

The night is deep.

Fang He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He kept thinking about that withered branch.

Green entries.

Related to wood-attribute cultivation techniques.

If it can be extracted, it might allow his cultivation speed to reach a new level.

But of the fifteen spirit stones, he only has five or six now.

The difference is quite large.

Fang He sat up, lit the oil lamp, and took out a cloth bag from under the bed.

Opening the cloth bag, one finds several low-grade spirit stones inside, emitting a faint glow.

He counted them; there were six pieces in total.

This is all the savings he has accumulated during this period.

Six spirit stones, nine short of fifteen.

Fang He frowned and continued to calculate.

The spirit grains in the spirit field will not be officially harvested until next month.

However, if some of it is harvested in advance, it should be able to sell for five or six spirit stones.

Adding them all up, it comes to about twelve yuan.

Three more pieces are needed.

The difference is not significant.

Fang He pondered for a moment and came up with a solution.

He has an entry for "Introduction to Appreciation".

Although the appreciation effect is only five percent, it's better than nothing.

Perhaps we can try our luck at the market and see if we can find a bargain.

Fang He lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.

I'll go harvest the spirit grain first thing tomorrow morning, and then try my luck at the market.

……

The next morning.

Fang He got up early and went to his spiritual field.

The spirit grains are growing well, better than he expected.

The entry for "[Plant affinity]" came into play.

He bent down and began harvesting the spirit grain.

One plant, two plants, three plants...

Half an hour later, Fang He had harvested about one-third of the spirit grain.

The rest can be harvested in another half month, and then we should be able to sell them for a few spirit stones.

Fang He bundled the harvested spirit grain into five bundles, placed them on a cart, and headed towards the market.

……

The market, Linggu purchasing stalls.

The stall owner, a middle-aged woman, was arranging her goods.

Seeing Fang He approach, she looked up and asked, "Selling spirit grains?"

"Okay." Fang He placed the spirit grain on the table.

The stall owner inspected the quality of the spirit grain and nodded in approval: "The quality is good, better than what most independent cultivators grow. Six spirit stones."

Fang He was overjoyed.

One more than expected.

"make a deal."

He handed over the spirit grain.

The stall owner took the spirit grain and counted out six low-grade spirit stones, handing them to Fang He.

Fang He put the spirit stones into his cloth bag and silently calculated in his mind.

I currently have twelve spirit stones on hand.

Three more pieces are needed.

Fang He strolled through the market, his gaze sweeping over the various stalls.

[Introduction to Appreciation] The entries subtly play a role.

Although the effect was slight, he could feel that his judgment of the value of items was more acute than before.

He needs an opportunity.

An opportunity to snag a bargain.

Fang He searched most of the market, but found nothing.

Just as he was feeling somewhat disappointed, a grocery stall caught his attention.

The stall was filled with various odds and ends: fragments of old magical artifacts, unknown ores, and other things whose names I couldn't recall.

The stall owner was an old man, sitting idly behind his stall.

Fang He stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the stall.

Suddenly, a dark piece of scrap metal caught his attention.

The object was about the size of a fist, with a rough and uneven surface, and looked like an ordinary piece of iron ore.

But when Fang He picked it up, the entry for "Introduction to Appreciation" subtly took effect.

He sensed that this thing was not simple.

Fang He observed carefully.

The surface is rough, with a faint metallic luster.

It is also much heavier than ordinary iron ore.

A thought struck him.

Could this be iron essence?

Iron essence is a material used in weapon forging and is much more precious than ordinary iron ore.

However, this piece of scrap iron is only the size of a fist, and even if it is indeed iron essence, its quality should be limited.

"How much for this piece of scrap metal?"

Fang He spoke in a flat tone.

The stall owner glanced at them and waved his hand: "Take these two spirit stone fragments. They're useless. I don't even know where I picked them up from."

Fang He suppressed his excitement and calmly took out two spirit stone fragments from his bag.

"make a deal."

The stall owner took the spirit stone fragment and casually asked, "What are you going to do with this?"

"Just having some fun."

Fang He tucked the item into his arms and turned to leave.

He tried his best to control his pace, not letting his eagerness show.

After walking a few dozen steps, Fang He quickened his pace.

The weapon-refining shop is located on the east side of the market.

……

At the entrance of the weapon-forging shop, a burly man was forging iron.

The furnace roared, and the sound of hammers striking metal was incessant.

Fang He walked into the shop and handed over the scrap metal.

"Master, do you accept this?"

The burly man didn't look up, glancing at it casually.

"Scrap metal, we don't accept it."

He continued forging iron.

Fang He did not leave.

"Master, break it open and take a look."

The burly man stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at him impatiently: "I said it's scrap metal, so it's scrap metal. Can't you understand human language?"

"Smash it open and see."

Fang He placed the scrap iron on the anvil, his tone calm but firm.

"If it's scrap metal, I'll leave immediately."

The burly man frowned, as if he wanted to say something.

But Fang He's determined gaze made him hesitate.

The air seemed to freeze for a few moments.

Too lazy to argue with Fang He any longer, he casually picked up a hammer and smashed it down.

"Bang!"

The hammer fell, and the black shell on the surface shattered instantly.

A burst of silvery-white light shot out.

The burly man's eyes suddenly widened.

He quickly bent down to examine it carefully.

"This is……"

The silvery-white metal core shimmered with a warm luster under the glow of the furnace fire.

"Iron essence!"

The burly man gasped. "Not bad quality! It's just a bit small."

He looked up and scrutinized Fang He: "Where did you get this?"

"I found it."

Fang He smiled calmly, "Will you accept?"

The burly man stared at Fang He for a moment, seemingly trying to determine whether what he said was true or false.

After a moment, he nodded: "I'll take it. Five spirit stones."

Fang He was secretly delighted, but remained calm on the surface.

"make a deal."

The burly man counted out five low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Fang He.

Fang He took the spirit stones, quickly counted them, and put them into his cloth bag.

Seventeen spirit stones.

enough!

Just enough to buy that branch.

Fang He didn't delay and quickly left the weapon-refining shop.

……

Seafood stalls on the east side of the market.

Fang He walked over quickly, his eyes fixed on the stall.

Fortunately, the stall owner was still there, and the items on the stall were still there.

He walked up to the stall, and the stall owner looked up at him.

"Is that branch still there?"

The stall owner recognized him and nodded: "Still here. Want to buy?"

"Fifteen spirit stones?"

The stall owner hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering raising the price.

Fang He remained calm and shifted her feet slightly.

"OK."

The stall owner finally nodded.

Fang He took out the spirit stone and accepted the wooden branch.

I finally got it!

He didn't linger and turned to leave the market.

……

A quiet corner outside the market.

Fang He looked around and confirmed that no one was nearby.

He found a clean spot to sit down, held the withered branch in his hand, and concentrated.

The panel appeared in my mind.

[Retrievable historical traces detected]

Item: Withered wood branch

[Historical Imprint: Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Insights into Wood-Based Cultivation Techniques (Green)]

【Whether to extract? 】

Fang He felt a surge of excitement.

It was indeed marked with a green mark.

"extract."

He said in a low voice.

The next moment, a series of images flashed through my mind.

A middle-aged monk, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, stood in the dense forest.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, forming hand seals, and the surrounding wood-attribute spiritual energy began to gather.

Under the influence of spiritual energy, the dead tree actually began to sprout.

Tender green branches sprouted from the dead wood, bringing new life to the tree.

The cultivator opened his eyes, a hint of enlightenment flashing in them.

"A withered tree comes back to life, life goes on and on..."

The image gradually faded away, turning into countless points of light that flooded into Fang He's mind.

A warm, gentle aura followed, flowing throughout the body.

Fang He felt the spiritual energy within his body circulating faster, and the compatibility between the wood-attribute spiritual energy and the cultivation technique greatly improved.

The panel reappeared in my mind.

Extraction successful

"activation!"

Fang He did not hesitate.

A green light shone from his body and then disappeared into his dantian.

[Entry activated]

Fang He felt the changes within his body.

The true energy in his dantian seemed to become more active, with wood-attribute spiritual energy lingering around him.

He received the green grade entry for the first time.
