I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

After the little purple bamboo was marked with the mark of the spirit, it ran to the courtyard to rest and absorb spiritual energy.

Chen Qingshan took out the Sun and Moon Pearl and controlled it to absorb the moon's essence.

Chen Wenshang looked at the Sun and Moon Pearl with a puzzled expression and asked, "Qingshan, was this also a spiritual treasure given to you by a True Person from the clan?"

Chen Qingshan nodded and said, "This is one of the many magical treasures that Uncle Huaiyi gave me."

Chen Wenshang was so envious that he almost forgot what he had done. How come he had worked hard for decades but hadn't obtained as many magical artifacts as his son had in a single talent test?

Back then, he and Wen Guan were also second-class talents and were among the candidates in Jintao Town who had a chance to advance to the Golden Core stage.

But now there's not much hope left.

Chen Qingshan didn't say anything, and it was even less likely that he would give the magical treasure given to him by his Uncle Huaiyi to his father.

This is neither respectful to Uncle Huaiyi nor helpful to his father.

Cultivation relies on one's own efforts; it's not something that can be achieved by simply accumulating spiritual treasures.

Of course, it's also possible that the current level of magical artifacts is insufficient.

It was already quite late, so Chen Qingshan went back to his room to rest.

Chen Wenshang also went back to his room to rest.

Chen Qinghuai, who was thousands of miles away, was in a much better mood when he learned that Chen Qingshan was not in any trouble and had even received the blessing of the clan's fortune.

That very night, Chen Qinghuai advanced to the third level of Qi Refining and successfully guided a star projection into his inner world.

It wasn't some famous star that was being drawn to, but rather a very ordinary star, Yun Zhao Star, which few people even recognized.

This projection can only provide more stellar power at present, which is not enough to grant Chen Qinghuai its abilities.

The next morning, Chen Qingshan went down the mountain and retrieved the Thousand Olive Dew Bottle.

It contained over ten kilograms of mixed spiritual water and dew, making it impossible to distinguish what was inside.

Chen Qingshan dumped all of these onto the Crystal Vein Purple Star and the Yellow Heaven Giant Cypress.

In any case, spiritual water is not poisonous, and each type is of great benefit to spiritual seeds and plants.

The giant cypress is very large, reaching one-third of its height.

Upon arriving at the experimental field, Chen Qingshan took out ten seeds of the Yellow Giant Cypress, all of which were spiritual plant seeds.

Each seed occupies more than 6,000 square meters to ensure that they do not strangle each other or crowd out each other's living space.

Chen Qingshan planted the seeds one by one in less than ten minutes.

After advancing to the fifth level of Qi Refining, Chen Qingshan's physical strength and spiritual power more than doubled.

Full of energy, Chen Qingshan thought of the many unused plots of land on the mountain. Since the spiritual plant seeds he had obtained earlier had not yet been sown, he could plant some melons, fruits, and trees.

As Chen Qingshan took out the spiritual plant seeds, a message suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Can be synthesized]: Five Elements Gourd, Autumn Balance Rose

The words "can be synthesized" reappeared in Chen Qingshan's mind. While he was delighted, he was also curious as to why only these two could be synthesized.

Replace the Autumn Balance Rose in your hand with the Heavenly Osmanthus.

The words that could be synthesized no longer appeared. Chen Qingshan took out Qiu Hengyue again, and the same information appeared before his eyes once more.

Chen Qingshan thought for a moment, then decided it might be a matter of variety and took out some crystal grapes.

[Can be synthesized]: Five Elements Gourd, Crystal Grape

Like many plants, crystal grapes can provide spiritual energy.

The Five Elements Gourd is quite special, as it can produce gourds with the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and is used to craft magical artifacts.

One is food, and the other is equipment; the two seem to be in conflict.

But Chen Qingshan wanted to see what would happen if these two things were combined.

With a thought, a ray of inspiration shot out.

The two were then merged into one.

[Cannot be synthesized]: Five Elements Spirit Gourd

Characteristic alternation: Randomly produces fruits containing the five elements.

"Randomly producing fruits of the five elements?" Chen Qingshan seemed a little confused. Moreover, there were many types of the five elements. Were they fixed or random?

Moreover, after the Five Elements Spirit Gourd was successfully synthesized, Chen Qingshan's condition clearly began to decline, and he was very tired.

Chen Qingshan didn't care about anything else. He returned to the courtyard and specially found a place with abundant spiritual energy to plant the seeds.

Over the past month, Jiuhua Ye has collected more than thirty drops of mountain dew.

After Chen Qingshan fell into a coma, he didn't specifically try to control its absorption of any spiritual water; he could only make do with it for now.

After dripping a few drops to ensure the Five Elements Spirit Gourd could take root and sprout, Chen Qingshan left.

The mountaintop is the perfect spot for planting pine and fir trees. There aren't many seeds, just enough for each one to be moistened with a drop of mountain dew.

With eight drops of mountain dew remaining, Chen Qingshan thought for a moment, then went to the experimental field and dripped the mountain dew onto five seeds of the Yellow Giant Cypress.

Chen Qingshan planned to use the remaining three drops on other spiritual plants.

In the inner world, the crystalline vein crape myrtle is growing wildly.

The shadow of the Purple Star faintly appeared in the sky.

However, it had gold trim.

The growth rate of the giant cypress did not increase much; only the color of its leaves became more vibrant.

The greater the changes in the giant cypress tree, the more pronounced the golden edge of the phantom image of the Purple Star in the sky became.

However, Chen Qingshan has not yet noticed anything unusual.

In the afternoon, dark clouds gathered.

Chen Qingshan sensed that the moisture in the air was getting thicker, so he went straight back to the courtyard.

Chen Wenshang hadn't gone anywhere. Upon seeing Chen Qingshan return, he said:

"Shan'er, I'm getting ready to go back."

Chen Qingshan nodded and said, "Dad, you go back and take care of things over there. When you have time, bring Mom over to help me. The spiritual energy here is abundant, which can help you cultivate."

Chen Wenshang's eyes were full of reluctance as he said, "Alright, I'll come back as soon as possible and bring you the good news."

Chen Qingshan nodded, thought for a moment, and then handed the standard magic sword to his elderly father.

Chen Qingshan: "This is the standard magic sword provided to me by the family. I don't really need it anymore. You can give it to whoever you like."

Chen Wenshang didn't say much and directly accepted the standard magic sword.

His son already possessed a third-tier spiritual treasure sword and did not need a standard magic sword.

Moreover, this standard magic sword is a second-tier magic weapon, although it is worth several thousand spirit stones.

Chen Qingshan watched his elderly father leave.

Chen Wenshang regretted leaving because he forgot it was about to rain, even though the rain wouldn't get on him.

However, flying on a sword in the rain would result in being struck by lightning, and the power of spring thunder was beyond his current ability to withstand.

Hiding in a cave nearby, Chen Wenshang took out a few spirit mulberry fruits to fill his stomach; these were given to him by Chen Guoyue.

The rain stopped in the evening.

Chen Wenshang had no choice but to continue on his way.

It was a day later when they returned to Golden Peach Town.

Chen Qingshan looked at the gourd vines in the courtyard and was speechless for a moment.

The entire courtyard was overgrown with gourd vines, as if the courtyard hadn't been tended to in a long time.

It took Chen Qingshan two hours to tidy up the yard and set up the trellis for the gourd vines.

Chen Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the courtyard to the top of the mountain.

The ancient pines and fir trees on the mountaintop have also sprouted new buds, all thanks to the mountain dew.

After confirming that all the planted spiritual plants had successfully sprouted, Chen Qingshan had to rush to the experimental field.

Of the 10 seeds of the giant yellow cypress, only 5 germinated.

Moreover, its growth momentum is quite good.

"Mountain dew is a really good thing, but it's a pity there's so little of it," Chen Qingshan remarked.
