Chapter 235 Xue Liuhe (Now Available)

"Three-tailed snow sulfur."

It should actually be called Snow Sulfur Grass. Its appearance is that of a "foxtail grass" with white and spotted flower spikes. Each time a tail grows, the quality will be greatly improved. Three-tailed Snow Sulfur Grass is the limit that a Qi Refining cultivator can usually cultivate. It has an exaggerated upper limit of up to nine tails.

In his room, Chen Guang played with the jade box. He wasn't as afraid of the poisonous herb as he had been in the private room. But anyone else would have been unable to remain calm, because in addition to its ability to improve with age, the Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass was also unique in that it possessed the purest earth-elemental poison.

In terms of the five elements of toxicity alone, this is the most difficult to provoke.

The poison of fire is potent but short-lived, leaving behind more injury than lasting toxicity.

Water-based poisons are adept at spreading and penetrating, are easy to counteract but not easy to eradicate, and their toxicity is slower.

Earth-element poison is the most life-threatening of the five elements of poison. It has the characteristics of "nurturing", "sealing", "containing", and "transforming". Once poisoned, one's strength will be suppressed, and even part of the magic power and antidote will become resources. While removing part of the poison, it will also strengthen the poison. A powerful earth-element poison can greatly reduce the target's strength the moment of poisoning, leaving them only able to protect themselves and barely survive. If the earth poison is not removed, it will also give birth to many terrifying evils; it can also contain and mix with other poisons, becoming more complex and unpredictable.

The poison of the earth element will not stop acting until it is completely detoxified.

Fortunately, the Earth Element Poison is not as terrifying as it seems in reality: Firstly, it has the most obvious anomalies among the Five Elements Poisons, with the most unusual color, aroma, and taste, making it difficult to be poisoned without knowing it. Secondly, pure Five Elements Poisons, like spells, are easily countered and neutralized. Nowadays, most poisons are complex poisons, with multiple attributes and functions to meet the requirements of carrying, sealing, poisoning, and taking effect. Therefore, the complex structure of the complex poisons is ingenious, and the interaction process actually cancels each other out, thus weakening the power of the Earth Element Poison. It is easier to neutralize with antidotes and various other means, and even in severe cases, it is easy to survive.

The skills of alchemy, poison, medicine, plant cultivation, witchcraft, and cooking are deeply interconnected. Therefore, Chen Guang also knows that poisons are also classified into levels. Being able to use compound poisons without them canceling each other out is equivalent to the level of mastery of the Qiankun Formation in the formation. Being able to combine poisons and make them stronger is an even more profound cultivation skill. None of these can be achieved easily.

Gu masters specialize in the art of poison, earning their name from their initial skill in manipulating poisonous creatures. Even as their skills evolved, the name remained. Gu masters categorize the intensity of poison into six levels: minor poison, high poison, common poison, and so on.

Deadly poison, extremely poison, and absolute poison.

Minor poisons can kill mortals and harm those who have cultivated Qi; high-level poisons can kill those who have cultivated Qi and harm those who have established their foundation; and even lower-level poisons are insignificant and not worth mentioning.

"Common Poison" is a standard for classifying toxicity. If a certain amount of something reaches this level, it can form a highly poisonous area that can last for half a hundred years. This level is long enough even for cultivators, which shows how potent its toxicity is.

The Five Elements Poison Theory of today is also the main "poisonous aspect" for discussing various poisons. Pure Five Elements Poisons are mostly used as a material, but they should not be underestimated. The biggest characteristic of pure Five Elements Poisons is that they are pure enough. In my previous life, I had a view on toxicity: talking about toxicity without considering dosage and purity is just being irresponsible.

The Five Elements Poisons are the type of poisons whose purity is the easiest to increase among all poisons, and the purification limit is extremely high. They cannot be regarded as pure materials. The Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass is a seed with such high purity of toxicity after maturity that it can be used directly. It is a "near-high toxicity" level poison, which is extremely dangerous to those in the Qi Refining stage. That is why Chen Guang offered two Zhan Yang Flowers.

Even if it meant risking his life to accompany the Dongfang siblings on this journey, Chen Guang's initial price was the opportunity to buy a Zhan Yang flower. It was only after discovering a group of Dongfang cultivators that he felt he had been tricked and escalated to directly asking for a single flower.

Chen Guang felt the essence of plants and trees emerge from his fingertips. Wood overcomes earth, and the pure poison of the five elements can be neutralized by using another element. As long as the core quality of the two is close enough, even if they come into contact, there will only be a simple addition and subtraction-like mutual cancellation, and there will be no poisoning. Only then did he feel at ease and boldly reach into the wooden box and touch the seed with his fingertips. When he withdrew his fingers, a large amount of information had already appeared in his mind.

Spiritual Plant: [Snow Sulfur Grass (Three Tails)]

Grade: Tier 1 Top Grade Attribute: Earth/Poisonous Plant/Perennial/Herbal Description: Requires a large amount of earth essence and spiritual energy to grow. Adapts to all types of spiritual soil. Requires a warm and humid environment to thrive. With sufficient and pure spiritual energy and earth essence, supplemented with any earth attribute, it can grow a fourth tail and transform into a Tier 2 spiritual plant.

During its growth period, the surrounding land will continuously spew out "earth lung energy" and absorb a large amount of the land's spiritual energy. When it matures, it will begin to nourish and even reshape the nature of the spiritual land.

The growth period of a single tail is at least one year, and its influence ranges within a radius of five zhang. The growth period of a second tail is at least two years, and its influence ranges within a radius of fifteen zhang. The growth period of a third tail is at least three years, and its influence ranges within a radius of thirty-five zhang. If the spiritual soil is barren or all spiritual energy is drained, Xue Liuhe will lose its original source to a certain extent to reshape the spiritual soil in order to maintain its survival and will be unable to grow.

Every year, this spiritual plant will flower and bear seeds. Only a very small number of the seeds contain vitality. The higher the number of seeds, the better the quality and the lower the probability of obtaining a seed with vitality. It can help rabbit-type monsters and earth-attribute monsters advance, but it contains a lot of poison. It can only be consumed if it is combined with the [Green Bone Plum], [Entangling Weak Vine], the excrement of wood-attribute monsters, or its seeds as the main ingredient to make [Earth Element Pill].

This spiritual plant is easily detected and plundered by first-tier perfect earth-attribute demons and rabbit-type demons.

The addition of [Green Bone Plum], [Entangling Weak Vine], and [Spirit-Dulling Flower] can all resist the spread of the Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass's poison. Among them, [Spirit-Dulling Flower] can cause the poison and the earth's lung qi to settle, making the area with increased concentration a fixed underground area. It can also be used to cultivate [Wood Scale Nose].

【Flowing Yuan Breath Technique】to directly resist poison.

Use Earth Essence to increase growth rate.

Adding earth-attribute elements can increase its quality and the number of seeds it produces.

The land it occupies is prone to nurturing low-grade [Charm], easily breeds some earth-attribute spiritual creatures, and the spiritual soil will eventually transform into Yang Cliff attribute spiritual soil. The more Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass there are, the better this effect will be.

Chen Guang had some expectation of the special nature of the Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass, but he had never understood it so comprehensively. He was surprised to find that there was such an easy-to-grow high-quality spiritual plant. He thought that the Spider Silk Bottle Wood and Thunder Jade Emerald of the same grade were comparable to second-tier spiritual plants in terms of cultivation difficulty. But the Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass was different. Its needs were relatively simple and pure. Even its requirements for reproduction and metamorphosis were not particularly demanding in terms of specific requirements. The only problem was that the quantity was too large.

High concentration of spiritual energy and sufficient spiritual soil, and it absorbs it destructively, without any restraint. Even a single Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass requires a radius of five zhang of spiritual soil to satisfy its needs. Within this range, other spiritual plants are not unable to be grown, but they cannot compete with the Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass. Don't underestimate it just because it is a small and pretty "foxtail grass". It is extremely domineering. It takes an acre of land to grow one plant, and its consumption is not small.

If we calculate one mu of land in a regular way, its length and width should be about seven zhang. That is to say, one mu of land is needed to support the growth of one or three Xue Liu He. Three Xue Liu He would need an exaggerated four mu or more. Therefore, the space requirement is very high. Chen Guang suddenly felt that the three Zhan Yang flowers given by Dongfang Lie Ming were not so easy to obtain.

Trying to cultivate more plants on the same land, or to make them transform, would be an excessive expenditure, but if the requirement can be met by quantity, it is already a low requirement.

However, if I successfully cultivate rare and precious spiritual plants, they will be of greater help to me, so I will naturally rise to the challenge.
