Establishing a Clan in the Eastern Wilderness: A Daily Divination, Cultivating Longevity in a Grotto

The Hundred Herbs Cauldron lit up, and patterns of various spiritual herbs slowly emerged on the blank cauldron walls—Qi and Blood Grass, Angelica Flower, Astragalus Fruit, Lingzhi Dew… these were the spiritual ingredients recorded in the formula for the Qi and Blood Returning to Origin Pill. The patterns were lifelike, and the veins on the leaves were clearly visible, as if they had just been picked from the mountains and fields.

The Heavenly Book Trembled:

[The Hundred Herbs Cauldron absorbs the pill formula imprint, and its grade is upgraded: Tier 1 Low Grade → Tier 1 Mid Grade]

[Note: This cauldron is connected to its owner's soul. The more types and quantities of pills the owner refines, and the higher the grade of the pills, the higher the grade of the Hundred Herbs Cauldron will gradually increase. Currently, it can refine mid-grade first-tier pills and below, with a success rate of +10%.]

"This cauldron has such a wonderful use!"

Having successfully refined the elixir, Li Changsheng intended to strike while the iron was hot and refine a few more batches. He still had a considerable stock of the spiritual materials listed in the formula, the earth fire was blazing, and the Hundred Herbs Cauldron had just absorbed the formula's imprint, making it perfectly suited for the task.

A sudden emptiness welled up from the depths of my bones.

It wasn't fatigue, nor drowsiness, but a feeling of being completely drained. It was as if someone had emptied his body of vital energy, spiritual power, and vitality, leaving only an empty shell. His hands began to tremble, his vision blurred, and he could barely sit up straight.

The aftereffects of the feigned death technique have arrived.

Li Changsheng dared not delay and quickly poured out a Qi and Blood Restoration Pill from the jade bottle, putting it into his mouth. The pill entered his stomach, transforming into a warm medicinal power that flowed through his meridians and throughout his body. The emptiness he felt was gradually filled, his trembling hands steadied, and the black mist before his eyes slowly dissipated.

He let out a long breath, sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing, and completely refined the medicinal power.

Just then, a violent tremor came from the sea of ​​consciousness. The yellow light of the Heavenly Book surged, and the entire sea of ​​consciousness was shaking, as if something was breaking out of its cocoon.

[The Heavenly Book Space has completed its evolution. Enter now?]

Li Changsheng was overjoyed and had a sudden thought.

The next instant, he appeared in the Heavenly Book Space.

The sight before him stunned him.

The space has become larger.

The hazy mist expanded outwards by several feet, revealing a flat expanse of black land—about an acre in size, the soil a deep black, radiating a faint spiritual aura. The thatched hut was still the same thatched hut, but the thatch on the roof seemed newer, and the walls more sturdy.

...

...

Outside the thatched hut, Ye Wushuang was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

He sensed the vibration in the space, opened his eyes, and saw the newly appeared black earth, his single eye filled with shock.

"This...this is..." He stood up, staggered to the edge of the spirit field, squatted down, grabbed a handful of black soil, sniffed it, and then rubbed it between his fingers. "A spirit field? A low-grade first-order spirit field? This space can actually grow a spirit field on its own?"

He looked up at the hazy mist around him, then back at the thatched hut, his shock in his single eye gradually turning into fervor.

A blessed land.

This is no ordinary storage space, but a true, growing paradise. Although it is only in its embryonic stage now, given time, it could very well evolve into a small world.

Ye Wushuang's greed resurfaced.

By possessing Li Changsheng's body, this blessed land would be his.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and regained his composure.

……

Li Changsheng stood in the thatched hut, looking around.

He raised his hands, looked them over and over, then looked down at his feet. A physical entity. Not a soul, not a phantom, but a real, tangible body.

After the Heavenly Book Space evolved, he could enter it in his true form.

This means that in the future, when faced with a life-or-death situation, he can instantly teleport into space to avoid a fatal blow. Although he doesn't know how powerful the attack will be, at least he has one more way to save his life.

He tried to store the Hundred Herbs Cauldron in his hand into his spatial storage.

The cauldron disappeared and reappeared beside the offering table in the thatched hut.

He then tried to take out the items from the storage bag—spirit stones, pills, talismans, and spirit herbs, which appeared one by one in the thatched hut.

We can bring in physical items now.

Li Changsheng was overjoyed.

The shady items he had seized in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave—the Foundation Establishment Medicine, the Soul Transformation Grass, the Soul Nourishing Wood seedlings, and the spoils in those storage bags—finally found a safe place to hide.

He rolled up his sleeves and got busy in the thatched hut.

First, he cast a simple shaping spell, melting several scraps of spirit stones he had collected from the forbidden area into a makeshift shelf, which he placed in the corner of the thatched hut. Then, he placed the jade boxes containing the Foundation Establishment main medicine, the Soul Transformation Grass, and the Soul Nourishing Wood seedlings on it. He then sorted the spoils from his storage bags—spirit stones for spirit stones, pills for pills, talismans for talismans, and magical artifacts for magical artifacts—arranging them neatly on the shelf.

After finishing everything, he clapped his hands and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Although the thatched hut was small, it already resembled a treasure vault.

He suddenly remembered Zhao Cai.

If we could bring Zhaocai in as well, the little guy wouldn't have to stay cooped up in the spirit beast pouch all day.

A thought arose.

Zhao Cai continued searching for treasures in the second courtyard, with Mo Yu following beside him.

Living things cannot get in.

"What a pity."

……

After finishing all that, Li Changsheng remembered Ye Wushuang outside the thatched hut. He walked to the window, looked out, and then froze.

Ye Wushuang was squatting beside the newly appeared spirit field, clutching black soil in her hand, her single eye filled with greed. But what shocked Li Changsheng was not Ye Wushuang's expression, but the size of the spirit field—it was even larger than what he had just seen, growing from one acre to one and a half acres.

He turned to look at the celestial book on the altar. The book shimmered with golden light, and lines of text appeared:

【Heavenly Book Space - Spirit Field】

[Rank: Tier 1, Low Grade]

Area: 1 mu (approximately 0.16 acres)

[Note: This spirit field has unlimited potential and its grade can be upgraded by consuming spirit stones or luck points. Currently, upgrading to mid-grade Tier 1 requires: 500 spirit stones or 500 luck points.]

Li Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Can spirit fields be upgraded?

The Li family's twenty-odd acres of spirit fields were all low-grade first-tier rice, and after two years of planting red marrow rice, the yield was just so-so. If they could upgrade them to mid-grade first-tier rice, the yield would at least double.

He glanced at Ye Wushuang outside the window, his brows furrowing slightly. This person was in the way outside; he couldn't go out to manage the spirit field.

The moment the thought arose, the celestial book responded:

[Everything within the Heavenly Book space is under the control of its master.]

"This...this space has such a wonderful use!"

……

With a thought, Li Changsheng unleashed an invisible force that bound Ye Wushuang tightly. Before Ye Wushuang could react, she was already suspended in mid-air, unable to move her limbs.

He struggled a few times in terror, but found that the force was far beyond his ability to resist, so he gave up resisting and just stared wide-eyed, looking around in surprise and uncertainty.

Li Changsheng swaggered out of the thatched hut.
