I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

Ignoring the whispers of the younger generation, Chen Qingshan quickly arrived at the foot of Xutian Mountain.

After confirming the inscription on the stone tablet, Chen Qingshan walked up the mountain with reverence.

This mountain is very close to Xuhai Mountain, so the person who chose the location must have put a lot of thought into it.

Chen Qingshan went straight to the top of the mountain, because the clan usually buries Golden Core cultivators at the top of the mountain or in places with spiritual energy.

After these cultivators pass away, their remains can still come into contact with spiritual energy.

This is the clan's most sincere blessing to the fallen members, hoping that they can become cultivators again in their next life.

The small tombstone is engraved with the three characters "Chen Huaiyi," and there is another inscription in the corner.

[Chen Shanhe personally erected the monument]

A small bag of spring flower seeds was placed in front of the tombstone.

Many of the seeds inside have lost their vitality and are no longer alive.

But Chen Qingshan still found a few viable seeds inside.

Chen Qingshan felt that these must have been placed here by the Mountain and River Ancestor two years ago.

Looking at the spring flower seeds in his hand, Chen Qingshan felt that there weren't enough, so he took out over a thousand more spring flower seeds from his storage bag.

The seeds of the spring flower are not large, with a diameter of only 0.2 centimeters.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Qingshan scattered thousands of spring flower seeds, covering the entire mountainside.

With another wave of the hand, spring arrives.

Spring flowers sprouted and took root, blooming in an instant.

Those passing by the foot of the mountain suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up at Mount Xutian.

People who were worshipping their ancestors in the mountains saw a spring flower sprouting from the ground, which actually bloomed in the summer.

Chen Qingshan lay on the mountain amidst a sea of ​​spring flowers, watching the blazing sun hang high in the sky.

He stood up again, rummaged through his storage bag, and finally took out a Star Tree seed.

Chen Qingshan planted a star tree next to the tombstone.

"It's not good for it to be exposed to the wind and sun every day, so let it shelter you from the wind and rain from now on."

After dripping two drops of the Three Stars Light Divine Water onto the Star Tree seed and watching it sprout, Chen Qingshan went to build a wooden hut next to it.

We need to prepare several months to care for the Star Tree.

Due to the heavy summer rains, Chen Qingshan raised the base of the wooden house a little.

On the second night, the Star Tree sprouted its first leaf, covered with countless luminous points resembling ice crystals, each emitting a slightly different color.

Three months later, the Star Tree had grown to three meters tall, and Chen Qingshan felt it was time for him to leave.

He plucked a leaf from the Star Tree and casually tossed it into the air. The direction the tip of the leaf pointed was the direction of Chen Qingshan's next destination. Unless he encountered a town, Chen Qingshan would keep walking.

We walked to the end of Taojin Niangzhou and then turned back.

Leaves fall, their tips pointing eastward.

Chen Qingshan smiled and bid farewell to Uncle Huaiyi, then walked eastward.

Walking is a slow journey, but Chen Qingshan enjoys it.

The creatures in the mountains, the flowers, trees and shrubs by the roadside—all of these could make Chen Qingshan stop and observe.

In the past, in order to improve his realm, he neglected the fact that Chen Qingshan was also a part of nature. Abandoning nature was equivalent to abandoning his own path of cultivation.

Having grasped this point, Chen Qingshan's Dao heart was elevated. The Great Dao was no longer his shackle, but a companion on his path of cultivation, and a friend to him.

He only needs to take one step forward to reach the smooth path to immortality.

After traveling for about half a year, spiritual fields gradually appeared around them.

Following the path through the fields, Chen Qingshan arrived at Shihua Town.

This place is famous for its "flowers in the rocks," which are as hard as granite yet still produce beautiful flowers.

The presence of the Stone Flower Spirit here is also one of the important factors in the birth of the Stone Flower.

As we approached the town's entrance, a small stone with an iris flower on it suddenly hopped and skipped towards us.

It jumped to Chen Qingshan's feet, used the branches that grew out to pull on Chen Qingshan's trouser leg, and pointed in a direction.

Chen Qingshan smiled and squatted down, asking kindly, "Little one, what's the matter?"

The Iris Stone Flower Spirit was still tugging at Chen Qingshan's trouser leg, as if she was in a hurry, and kept pulling at Chen Qingshan.

Chen Qingshan felt that the little guy must have encountered some difficulties, so he followed the Iris Stone Flower Spirit towards a mountain.

The mountains here also have stone tablets marking their names; they are called Butterfly Flower Mountain.

As we approached the warehouse entrance, several menacing stone spirits suddenly leaped out.

Chen Qingshan had already sensed the presence of the little guys.

Seeing that he hadn't scared Chen Qingshan, the second-tier white crystal petrified spirit scratched the white crystal petals, somewhat puzzled.

The little iris flower spirit was also a little confused, but quickly ran away.

Chen Qingshan smiled helplessly.

Just then, an uncle walked by and said with a smile, "Bai Jing and Little Iris are scaring people again. Don't be afraid, they just like to play."

Chen Qingshan released a slight trace of the Golden Core aura.

The little ones were immediately frightened and ran around in all directions.

Seeing this, Chen Qingshan laughed even harder.

Then he turned and left.

The middle-aged man was also a little confused, but he left after watching for a while.

Chen Qingshan walked into the town, where stone flowers were running around everywhere.

The people in the town seemed to have adapted to this way of life, walking with their heads down to avoid stepping on the small stone flowers.

A team of ten cultivators at the Yuan Dan realm were collecting various flowers hidden in the stones.

Chen Qingshan overheard their conversation from a distance.

"Jinyu, heading to Wangtianzhou again?" an uncle walked by and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Wangtianzhou prefers these rare flowers; the Stone Flower sells better there."

The monk leading the group responded with a smile.

Chen Qingshan was puzzled. Why would someone travel across an entire state just to sell these flowers in the stone?

Chen Qingshan walked over, wanting to see what was different about the stones they had collected.

The result was unexpected; these flowers in the rocks were too plain, even a bit poor.

Filled with doubt, Chen Qingshan asked, "Brother, do you really make a profit selling these stone flowers all this way?"

Chen Jinyu saw that it was a young man he had never seen before and replied with a smile, "Yes, we used to barter. We would exchange things regardless of their value, and many cultivators would place orders with us."

Chen Qingshan understood; this was a special trip to exchange local specialties.

"The journey is long, I wish you a safe trip!" Chen Qingshan sincerely wished.

"Thank you, young brother." Chen Jinyu and the other cultivators were very happy. They readily accepted the kindness of strangers.

Seeing Chen Qingshan turn to leave, Chen Jinyu quickly grabbed him and took out a spiritual plant seed.

"Young man, this is a specialty of Guhua Town in Lingxing Prefecture. It's called Ancient Flower, and it can bloom flowers from ancient times. It's just a bit random, though, so we don't know what kind of flower it will bloom." Chen Jinyu smiled as he handed the item to Chen Qingshan, and then went to attend to other things.

Chen Qingshan was a little surprised that the ancient flower seed in his hand actually carried the laws of time, although it was extremely rare.

As if sensing something, Chen Qingshan took out a seed of Arabian Veronica from his inner world.

The spatial and temporal laws seem to align somewhat, yet they also seem to contradict each other.

The composition interface appears once again.

[Can be synthesized]: Ancient Flower, Arabian Veronica.

[Synthesis Cost]: Ten years of fortune from two states (insufficient fortune).

Chen Qingshan scratched his head and put the ancient flower seeds back into his storage bag.
