I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

Just as the sun rose, Chen Qingshan was awakened by a burst of inspiration and spiritual energy.

Chen Qingshan opened his eyes and felt incredibly good, and he had even broken through to the second level of Qi Refining.

After washing up, Chen Qingshan walked out of the courtyard, took out the Jiuhua leaf, and saw a drop of dew in the center of the leaf.

"Mountain Dew? It can automatically collect spiritual water? It's truly a rare treasure!" Chen Qingshan felt incredibly refreshed.

Although mountain dew is not a precious treasure, it contains the essence of the earth, which is of great benefit to spiritual plants and seeds.

Chen Qingshan casually poured the drop of mountain dew onto the golden lychee tree by the door, then walked down the mountain to the peach orchard.

The bluebirds soaring in the sky carry the fruits of this year's harvest.

On the alpine meadow, one after another, huge monkeys carried bags of rice.

The Golden Core cultivators who traversed the void would occasionally toss down elixirs made from spiritual fruits as rewards for the spirit beasts in the mountains.

This year is a bumper year for the land of a hundred fruits, and everyone's face is beaming with joy.

Upon arriving in Taoyuan, although the spiritual energy there is not as strong as that of Cuiwei Mountain, it is still a blessed place.

I quickly counted the number of white peach trees and confirmed that what my cousin Chen Guoyue had told me was correct, although there were indeed quite a few wild spiritual plants.

There is the Crimson Cherry Blossom, which evolved into a spirit plant through its own efforts.

There are also pansies that, after absorbing enough spiritual energy, transform into spiritual plants.

Although these wild spiritual plants are worthless, their offspring have the potential to become spiritual plants themselves, and may one day become a very unique spiritual plant.

"This is really nice." Chen Qingshan casually picked a few peach blossoms and sat cross-legged under the third-tiered white peach tree.

He took out the Nine-Flower Leaf, Sun and Moon Pearl, Thousand Olive Dew Bottle, and the Jiangshan Gourd, a storage treasure from yesterday, which he had not yet completed refining.

Two hours later, after the second restriction on the Nine-Flower Leaf was refined, many small spirit beasts emerged around Chen Qingshan.

There are cloud-piercing monkeys with a single horn on their heads, and blue-white hunting dogs with two wings on their backs.

He already knew about these spirit beasts; they were a clan of spirit beasts raised within the family, and the clan would lead them to help during busy farming seasons.

The Cloud Spirit Monkey is very small, only a dozen centimeters tall, with a bluish-green body and cloud-like patterns. It looks like a baby monkey that has just been born for a few months.

The blue-white hunting hound beside it was even smaller, with blue and white fur and flames surrounding it. It was estimated to be less than a month old.

"You little guys, is your clan nearby?" Chen Qingshan said with a smile. Although he knew they couldn't understand him, it was still nice to have two more people to talk to.

Blue-and-white hunting dogs are territorial, and usually there is only one pack in one place. Since this place is a blessed land that has been neglected for many years, Chen Qingshan felt that the nearby blue-and-white hunting dog pack should not be very large.

The little white hunting dog timidly walked over and sniffed the corner of Chen Qingshan's clothes, as if trying to remember the scent.

However, he would occasionally glance at Jiuhua Ye.

The little monkey beside him couldn't contain its excitement either. It jumped onto the branch closest to Chen Qingshan and stared intently at Jiuhua Leaf.

The other little spirit beasts also stared longingly at the Nine-Flower Leaf, their blood vessels throbbing, their hearts yearning for it.

However, the beings before them are controlled by humans, and they are merely vassals under the protection of humans, loyal to humans from birth.

Understanding their thoughts, Chen Qingshan chuckled to himself, thinking that he had attracted the surrounding spirit beasts.

Unexpectedly, it was the leaves of the Jiuhua tree that attracted them.

After putting away the Nine-Flower Leaf, the little monkey swung away.

The blue-and-white hunting dog whimpered twice and then ran off.

Chen Qingshan smiled and shook his head, then took out the Thousand Olive Dew Bottle and began to refine the restrictions within it.

It's best to perform the Jiuhua Leaf ritual in the courtyard, as it might attract too much unnecessary attention outside.

Although it is currently under the control of the family, it is inevitable that some people will covet it.

These little spirit beasts may only be the beginning, but Chen Qingshan realized the extraordinary nature of the Nine-Flower Leaf.

The Nine-Flower Leaf, which possesses eight restrictions, is only one restriction away from becoming a fourth-tier rare treasure.

After simply refining the first restriction on the Thousand Olive Dew Bottle, Chen Qingshan put away all the treasures and turned back to Cuiwei Mountain.

It was almost afternoon by then; any later and it would be dark.

Back at Cuiwei Mountain, Chen Qingshan took out the Thousand Olive Dew Bottle and, following the instructions he had learned, tossed it into the sky.

The bottle containing the Thousand Olive Dew exploded, turning into countless leaves and disappearing without a trace.

However, Chen Qingshan could always sense that the core of the Thousand Olive Dew Bottle was still in the spot where he had just thrown it.

The Sun and Moon Pearls have not yet been consecrated with their protective seals and cannot be used at present.

Moreover, there are still many things waiting for him to do.

The first-stage golden silk lychee, which had absorbed the mountain dew in the morning, was growing vigorously, with golden veins spreading across its emerald green leaves like blood vessels.

It seemed that it would soon advance to the second-tier Golden Silk Lychee, allowing the golden veins to spread across the trunk.

The jade bamboo remained completely still, and Chen Qingshan didn't bother to take care of it.

In front of the courtyard, Chen Guoyue arrived on his sword.

Chen Qingshan quickly put away the Sun and Moon Pearl and went out the door.

"Brother, I've brought you the Farming Handbook and the Complete Guide to Spiritual Plants. You can take a look when you have some free time." Chen Guoyue had already sensed the existence of the third-tier spiritual treasure, the Sun and Moon Pearl. Although he was very envious, he didn't say anything.

These kinds of spiritual treasures are usually gifts from Golden Core cultivators within the clan to their descendants; he could only envy them, not possess them.

Moreover, he only has a second-grade aptitude, and he only has one place to stay in the blessed land. He usually runs errands for Golden Core cultivators in exchange for cultivation resources.

The fastest way for the tribe to acquire resources and make contributions is through land reclamation and venturing into grotto-heavens.

These jobs are all very risky, and he wouldn't do them unless absolutely necessary.

"Thank you, cousin. You've worked hard. Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?" Chen Qingshan asked warmly.

Of course, this was just superficial enthusiasm; what they really wanted to know was whether Chen Guoyue had anything else to say.

"You're too kind. There's one more thing I need to tell you. You can freely acquire and command the spirit beasts in the vicinity, but you must not kill them indiscriminately," Chen Guoyue instructed.

Chen Qingshan nodded and once again extended a warm invitation to Chen Guoyue to come to the courtyard for tea.

However, Chen Guoyue had important matters to attend to and could only apologize and leave.

Chen Qingshan picked up the farming manual and the encyclopedia of spiritual plants, then looked around before returning to the courtyard.

The farming manual is simple, but also very practical.

It taught them various methods for improving the rank of their spiritual plants, as well as their daily management.

The Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants is different; it records hundreds of thousands of spiritual plants of all sizes.

None of them were duplicates, and each one also included notes on the plant's characteristics, lifestyle, environment, and other relevant information.

Chen Qingshan doesn't have time to look at these things yet; he'll do it after he finishes refining the treasure.
