Cultivation begins with harvest.

After a brief period of excitement, Chen Guang returned to his daily routine.

The newly acquired skill, Jianmu Zhiyan, is usable by Lin Miao at its cultivation level, but Chen Guang is still searching for a high-quality water-attribute spiritual plant with superior healing, self-repair, and strong defensive capabilities.

This cannot be taken lightly. The premise of "based on the grade and characteristics of the spiritual plant" is deeply imprinted in his mind. Perhaps the effect of this technique will be better if it matches the nurturing level and characteristics of Lin Miao. This is the reason why Chen Guang is unwilling to choose casually. There is still a lot of time before he leaves Qingheng Sect to go on an adventure. Chen Guang is not in a hurry and chooses slowly.

Special emphasis was placed on self-repair, because this spiritual plant will have to take the damage for me in the future. Since it is a replacement, it will naturally not be unscathed. It is of great significance for this spiritual plant to be able to quickly return to a complete state.

Therefore, after Chen Guang's initial excitement subsided, he obediently began to process the Fiery Heart Grass, which was the second mature spiritual plant after Spirit Rice.

Having gained experience last year, the harvest was naturally better this time because of the increased knowledge and experience gained.

There are a total of 97 Blazing Heart Grass plants, of which only one more is of exceptional quality than last year, reaching 3. Chen Guang is still exploring the specific methods for cultivating the quality of his plants, but he has already found some direction.

The original reward was 126 portions of Fallen Butterfly Charm, 161 portions of Yin Fire Pills, and 223 portions of Cotton Fire Needles, but Chen Guang only received 218 portions of Cotton Fire Needles, which was not much better.

Looking at the pile of fire needles that filled the entire bed, Chen Guang suddenly felt immense pressure. Such a huge number of spiritual weapon rewards would be overwhelming even if all of them were stuffed into the Black Void Serpent Belt. The Black Void Serpent Belt was only a low-grade spiritual weapon at the moment, and it was bearing a burden it shouldn't have to bear.

If he didn't do that, the array that concealed his aura would only be able to cover it up for a short time. In a few hours, any cultivator passing by Chen Guangyuan's gate would be able to sense the astonishing spiritual energy that had accumulated.

The hidden box was already full long ago.

Accompanying a large number of spiritual objects were not only these three types.

"The third stage of harvest accumulation for Purple Spirit Soil has been completed, yielding the rare item [Yonglei Branch], unlocking more cultivation content."

"The 'Cotton Fire Needle' technique has completed the third stage of harvest accumulation, yielding the array diagram 'Heavenly Fire Fusion Crystal Diagram'."

"The 'Cotton Fire Needle' skill has completed all accumulated rewards, and the 'All Things - Cotton Fire Needle' item has been unlocked in the encyclopedia."

In Chen Guang's mind, suddenly in the midst of a vast, chaotic void, a glimmer of light appeared, three inches thin and translucent red, clearly the image of a cotton fire needle.

Five more ethereal fire needles disappeared into it, corresponding exactly to the number of the five fire needles he was missing.

Chen Guang's mind followed the five fiery needles and entered into this chaos.

"call--"

"So that's how it is!"

Within just a few days, Chen Guang experienced two moments of profound amazement. The first was when he obtained the skill of Jianmu, and the second was because of the Illustrated Compendium of All Things.

Once you unlock all the accumulated rewards for a spirit item, you can open the corresponding Encyclopedia of All Things. The Cotton Fire Needle was the first Encyclopedia of All Things that Chen Guang opened.

The Illustrated Compendium of All Things can enhance Chen Guang's understanding and comprehension of the Great Dao and special skills.

Taking the Fire Needle Compendium as an example, activating the Fire Needle Compendium will slightly increase one's ability to perceive the Dao of Fire and slightly improve one's understanding of the techniques required for Fire Needles in weapon crafting. After that, when one plants the Fiery Heart Grass, one will no longer receive Fire Needle rewards. All the times that should have been rewarded with Fire Needles will enter the Myriad Things Compendium and will no longer be used to reward Fire Needles. Instead, they will be used to directly improve the perception ability of the corresponding compendium.

However, the prerequisite is that you must refine a perfect quality Cotton Fire Needle to enjoy this bonus. Although it does not affect the collection of Cotton Fire Needle illustrations, you will not experience any substantial changes.

This left Chen Guang dumbfounded. His skill level in refining artifacts was limited to refining divination objects, and he had never actually started refining an artifact before. If it weren't for the infusion of many refining formulas, he would have had no hope at all. Even so, without the complete inheritance of a refining master, Chen Guang was only confident in refining high-quality cotton fire needles, but he was not confident in refining perfect cotton fire needles without any flaws.

Before this, Chen Guang had not been able to enjoy the enlightenment brought by the Illustrated Compendium of All Things, which made him very frustrated.

Like the Jianmu tree, it is visibly powerful, but at this stage we can only look at it and not get our hands on it, which is too frustrating.

The Encyclopedia of All Things is not without its drawbacks. Firstly, once the encyclopedia entry for the Fire Needle is lit up, the reward for the Blazing Heart Grass will no longer include the Fire Needle, leaving only the Yin Fire Pill and the Fallen Butterfly Guide. Chen Guang also suspects that the Fallen Butterfly Guide will not light up the Encyclopedia of All Things, while the Yin Fire Pill will. In other words, if he focuses solely on cultivating the Blazing Heart Grass, at a certain stage, he will only have the non-physical Fallen Butterfly Guide reward left, or even no Fallen Butterfly Guide reward at all, because the Blazing Heart Grass itself may one day light up the encyclopedia.

An illustrated encyclopedia of all things should correspond to all things.

Currently, the absence of the Fire Cotton Needle reward is actually a good thing for Chen Guang, as he already has more Fire Cotton Needles than he can use.

Secondly, the Illustrated Compendium of All Things enhances the ability to perceive, amplifying one's senses. The foundation of everything is the ability to "understand," which is like giving someone who is nearsighted a pair of glasses with a prescription, as if shifting towards clear vision. But what if Chen Guang is blind?

You need to have a certain talent that enhances your perception to have a significant effect; otherwise, it's like a blind man wearing glasses—completely unnecessary.

The Fire Needle enhances one's perception of the Dao of Fire and the techniques of weapon crafting. Chen Guang felt that he still had talent. Although his cultivation of fire-attribute spells and crafting of divination objects were not outstanding, they were not too stagnant. Trying to craft a flawless Fire Needle was an effort he should make.

Thirdly, regardless of type or grade, the Encyclopedia of All Things requires accumulating 108,000 corresponding spiritual objects to maximize the corresponding sensory abilities. This can be achieved by obtaining reward orbs or by crafting them yourself; as long as they are of the same type, this number can be increased.

"The 'Illustrated Compendium of Everything' is still a pipe dream for me at this stage, but the future is promising, truly promising."

After calming down, Chen Guang focused his attention on the other two rewards.

【Yonglei Branch】

Category: Curiosities

Grade: Tier 3

Description: Holding the Yonglei Branch allows one to slightly comprehend the Great Dao of Earth. Through the Yonglei Branch, one can observe the changes and trends of the earth's veins. However, when using it to comprehend the Great Dao of Earth, the requirements for one's spiritual soul are extremely high, requiring a spiritual soul at least equivalent to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Yongleizhi can control various types of soil within the range of divine sense, up to the third rank. Depending on the grade of the soil chosen and the degree of control, the mana consumed will increase dramatically with the grade.

[Heavenly Fire Crystal Fusion Diagram]

Category: Array Diagram

Grade: Tier 3

Description: This is a powerful, fire-attribute flying magical artifact, including flying swords, needles, and knives. Each artifact can be imbued with [Heavenly Capital Vermilion Fire] and [Bright Light]. Depending on the amount of [Heavenly Fire] incorporated, the Heavenly Fire Fusion Crystal Diagram will also gain different powers.

108 Numbers: Comes with "Spell Breaking", which can break through defensive spells cast by others. It requires at least 5 pots of mana to activate.

360 Number: In addition to breaking the spell, it also has "Eternal Burning". It will not stop until the target's spiritual energy is completely burned away. It requires at least 108 pots of mana to activate.

720 Number: Based on the Breaking Spell and Eternal Burn, it adds "Shuttle", which can control each placed magical artifact to shuttle and flash in a small area. It requires at least 1800 pots of mana to activate.

Number 1280: Can unleash the second transformation 'Meteor Fire Dust', summoning a formation to draw upon the power of stars in the sky to form celestial fire stars that crash down. It requires at least 5000 pots of mana to activate.

3600: Able to unleash the third transformation 'Destroy Hua', sacrificing and fusing all the placed spiritual artifacts, compressing all the energy into a single line of light, which requires the element of metal to activate.

Related description (Tianjing Vermilion Fire): Dao Fire, capable of removing all kinds of negative and strange influences, while also possessing immense scorching power over all things.

Related description (Bright Light): It can make anything attached to this light incredibly hard, and nothing inside can be harmed before the Bright Light breaks.

"It's still a pancake, but at least you can take a bite."

Chen Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he could only look at everything but not touch it, that would have been a real problem.

With a thought, Chen Guang saw a pattern resembling a handkerchief, its four edges crimson, its middle beige, and its center adorned with a crystal-like pattern of interwoven red and white. It resembled some kind of brocade, its aura extremely restrained, light and airy as if it didn't exist.

The Black Void Serpent Belt couldn't contain it, but it didn't carry any aura like an ordinary object. Although it couldn't be stored in a storage artifact, it was possible to carry it with one's person. In comparison, the purplish-blue branch that looked like a palm was easily stored in the Black Void Serpent Belt.

"I wonder how long it will take to refine this array diagram. I can't wait to put all the Fire Needles into the array."

It can be activated with a minimum of five pots of magic power. The Heavenly Fire Fusion Crystal Diagram is quite user-friendly in this respect. Although it still requires the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining to use, it can be put to immediate use by storing the excess Cotton Fire Needles.
