Cultivation begins with harvest.

Spiritual Plant: [Purple-Covered Elegant Fruit Tree]

Grade: Second-tier High

Attributes: Air/Fruit Tree/Perennial/Woody

Description: It needs to be nurtured with a stream of true qi [Dawn's Purple Qi] or nurtured for seven years with [Purple Cloud Soil] to sprout. The seedling will attract various poisonous insects after three years, after which it can grow normally for eighteen years to mature. It then flowers once every seven years and bears fruit once every three years, yielding the [Purple Canopy Radiant Qi Fruit]. It is best planted with [Dragon Scale Soil], followed by [Purple Python Soil], and then [Purple Spirit Soil]. It needs to be bathed in enough purple qi every day to grow. It needs a very long period of sunlight. The presence of a hundred different spiritual plants around it can improve the quality of the Purple Canopy Radiant Qi Fruit tree. It cannot include cold-natured, bamboo, chrysanthemum, cypress, pine, plum, or orchid spiritual plants. First-class top-quality spiritual plants are the best, followed by first-class ordinary spiritual plants, and second-class spiritual plants are the worst. There cannot be spiritual plants higher than second-class high-quality spiritual plants. The best are herbal spiritual plants.

Raising Qinghou bees or Xiajun butterflies can increase the number of Zigai Huaqi fruits.

Raising a Crimson-Headed True Smoke Turtle on the side for ten years will give the tree canopy the ability to capture and store Dawn's Purple Qi, and increase the amount of Dawn's Purple Qi in the Purple Canopy Flower Qi Fruit to a maximum of "seven", which is affected by the number of Crimson-Headed True Smoke Turtles.

Related description: The [Purple Canopy Qi Fruit] contains at least a wisp of Dawn Purple Qi, which nourishes the meridians and dantian, and accelerates the cultivation speed of Qi-related spells or secret arts such as wind, thunder, and light. Consuming a certain number of Purple Canopy Qi Fruits can form the [Mystic Purple Qi Canopy], which reduces the mana consumption of Qi-related spells and has certain abilities to exorcise evil spirits, ward off poison, and reduce harm.

Unlock the next level of cultivation content: 0/50 (Number of mature Purple-capped Huaqi Fruits)

"A second-tier spiritual plant, or a spiritual tree, and a spiritual plant related to the Purple Qi of Dawn!"

Chen Guang was stunned by this reward.

Some things are precious in a way that is visible to the naked eye.

Purple Spirit Soil, "Purple Qi Facing the Brightness Technique", Dawn's Purple Qi...

These are all consistent changes, and the characteristics of Purple Spirit Peak are evident. Although it is just a seed, it has given Chen Guang endless encouragement. Looking at the slightly purple, fist-sized stone in his hand, he can hardly believe that a seed of a second-tier spiritual plant can be so exaggeratedly large.

However, even if it ends up in Chen Guang's hands, the actual effect of this seed cannot be realized in a short period of time. It is in a stage where the future is even more promising than Chen Guang's current stage.

It can only be kept as a collection.

The reward orbs are great, but it's clear that I'm the one "dragging" them down. I've given them so many good things, yet I still have to leave many of them unused.

"The reward for the third stage of Spirit Rice requires accumulating 10,000 mature, qualified Spirit Rice plants. The reward for the third stage of Purple Spirit Soil is also 10,000. We can temporarily put those aside for now, but surely other spirit plants don't have the same numerical requirements?" Chen Guang's heart skipped a beat.

Spirit rice and swallowtail grass are naturally plentiful, but other spiritual plants are few in number; only a few dozen are planted per acre of spiritual field.

This is probably why I'm able to obtain the Clear Vision Secret Technique and the Purple Canopy Flower Fruit Tree now, because the next stage reward is so far out of reach.

It took Chen Guang a while to calm himself down completely.

"According to my previous calculations, even if I cultivate for five hours a day, it would still take me a thousand days to break through to the second level of Qi Refining, which is more than five thousand hours of cultivation. In reality, I don't have that much time to cultivate, but with the Pure Spirit Qi, it's different."

"About 60% of the time spent counteracting worldly influences has been freed up, meaning I only need to cultivate for a little over two hours. This is pure cultivation, without distractions, which is exactly within the limits of my meridians and dantian. Add to that my daily morning practice, and that's equivalent to three hours. With the purple aura coming from the east, the worldly influences in my meridians will also dissipate directly. Although it only takes the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it's equivalent to three hours of cultivation. This year, my cultivation at dawn alone is equivalent to a thousand hours. In other words, in terms of time, I still need several hundred more hours of accumulation to break through?"

"Can we break through next year?"

Chen Guang's eyes lit up.

Hundreds of hours may seem like a long time, but when divided among each day, it becomes much shorter. As long as you don't miss the morning cultivation session, it's equivalent to completing three hours of cultivation each day.

Although Chen Guangxin was secretly pleased, he couldn't help but envy the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Foundation Establishment cultivators will no longer be troubled by worldly affairs. Even if they spend their entire lives in the mortal realm, they will never allow any worldly affairs to appear in their bodies. At the same time, the upper limit on cultivation time for Qi Refining cultivators is also meaningless. They can cultivate continuously for twelve hours a day. The only thing to worry about is the risk of going into qi deviation after such a long time. They don't need to worry about whether their dantian and meridians can withstand it.

Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you are truly extraordinary.

"After meeting with the people from Xingfeng Hall tomorrow, we'll harvest that acre of spirit field. Perhaps we can obtain two more complete strands of pure spirit energy."

Chen Guang thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction, and as usual, he recited the "Blood Scripture" several times, practiced his spells for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

……

At dawn, auspicious purple clouds appeared in the east.

Chen Guang felt refreshed from head to toe. Usually at this time, when he looked into his meridians, he could see everything glowing with a noble purple light. The pure spiritual energy canceled out the mundane energy, while the purple energy directly annihilated it. Taking advantage of this time to cultivate, the time it takes to drink a cup of tea is equivalent to three hours.

But at this moment, when Chen Guang shone the purple aura again, the pure spiritual energy within his body actually intertwined with the purple aura, presenting a greenish-grayish-white color, which traveled through Chen Guang's body at an extremely exaggerated speed.

As Chen Guang walked around, he could see wisps of mundane energy, like smoke, rapidly appearing and then evaporating.

The two seemed to merge slightly, undergoing a change that Chen Guang was unaware of. Chen Guang quickly held his breath and began to cultivate, finding that the efficiency of his cultivation had slightly improved, but there was no fundamental change. The biggest change was that the pure spiritual energy, which had always been submissive and neutralized the mundane energy, was now taking the initiative to attack.

"Both the Pure Spirit Qi and the Dawn Purple Qi belong to the same major category of the Three-Six Pure and Imperial Qi. Perhaps they share some common ground, which is why they have changed like this. If it were two conflicting or incompatible true qi..."

When the purple aura faded and he felt the pure spiritual energy had noticeably diminished, and his body felt lighter, Chen Guangcai suddenly realized what had happened and broke out in a cold sweat.

True Qi is a pure manifestation of worldly laws. I almost caused a great disaster without realizing it. If these two kinds of True Qi did not have some common origin, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Just then, a large bird with a peculiar shape, its neck completely red and its body grayish-white, descended from the sky. Even though it flew at an extremely fast speed from afar, by the time it landed in front of Chen Guang, it was only a wisp of wind.

"Junior Brother Chen Guang?" A gaunt man, six feet tall, jumped down from the strange bird. He had a gentle face and wore a blue robe with a large, square "地" (earth) character carved in purple on his chest. Following him was a man of normal build with a somewhat indifferent expression, wearing the same clothes, but with the character "行奉" (Xing Feng) carved on his chest instead.

Finally, an elderly man with a long, white beard and bright eyes slowly descended the mountain. He was dressed in an extremely beautiful, magnificent, spotless robe that was so white it seemed to gleam with gold. The two men who had come down in front of him hurriedly helped him up.

Jiang Zuoyun and Deacon Long hurriedly rode their spirit cranes from afar.

Sweat beaded on his forehead as he landed, and he hurriedly bowed to the old man: "Jiang Zuoyun/Longma, a disciple of Xingfeng Hall, greets senior."

"Hehe, no need for formalities. I happened to be in the Earth Hall looking for Junior Brother He on some business, so I just stopped by to take a look. The participation of the Xian Hall does not violate the sect's rules. Gentlemen, please go ahead with your work." The old man waved his hand with a smile, indicating that the others should go about their tasks.

Jiang Zuoyun quickly stepped forward and explained to Chen Guang, "Old Master Zhou is a disciple of the Xiantang. You can call him Senior Brother Zhou, but you should still show respect. This is Senior Brother He from the Ditang. Since you are from the Ditang, the Ditang must act as a witness before the official record is made. This is Senior Brother Zhang from the Xingfengtang. He is here routinely to confirm some details of your inheritance from yesterday and to ultimately determine the depth of your blessings."

Chen Guang then understood and bowed to Mr. Zhou, who accepted the bow gently.

The Qingheng Sect has seven peaks and three academies, with Ziling Peak being one of them. It also has nine halls, each responsible for different matters: the Punishment Hall is in charge of law enforcement and patrols; the Qi Hall is for fighting enemies and slaying demons; the Flame Hall is for alchemy and weapon crafting; the Earth Hall is for cultivating spiritual land...

Xiantang is the most unique and mysterious.

Chen Guang only knew that if a disciple of the Xiantang made a mistake, only all the Golden Core elders and the sect leader could jointly determine the punishment. All the sect's secret manuals and important news were kept by the Xiantang. It was rumored that the reason why the Qingheng Sect was able to adhere to the bottom line of the rules and ensure that the disciples would not betray each other or fight each other was because the Xiantang played a role in it.

The Punishment Hall merely patrols the territory near the sect and punishes and escorts criminals, and also adjudicates some matters, but it cannot guarantee that the disciples will be harmonious among themselves. In Chen Guang's view, the Punishment Hall is just a "law enforcer," and the one that truly has the ability to guarantee harmony within the sect is probably the Virtuous Hall.

Xiantang exists on each peak, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Seven Peaks. Instead, it is under the jurisdiction of Tianshu Academy, one of the three academies of the Seven Peaks.

Besides that, Chen Guang only knew that in the sect's rules, there was only one rule regarding the Hall of Virtue: disciples of the Hall of Virtue should be treated with respect.

While Chen Guang was still thinking, the cold-faced Senior Brother Zhang from Xingfeng Hall spoke without any emotion: "Let's get this over with quickly. Too much formality will only waste this precious time. Junior Brother Chen, one of the reasons we came here is to confirm that the items you marked yesterday were voluntary and that you did them yourself."

"Secondly, we want to inform you that your cultivation method is best practiced under the witness of Xingfeng Hall. Before reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, you can only trade five times at most. The deeper meaning behind this is the Peak Master's intention, which we will not explain."

"Thirdly, based on our observations and our meeting with you today, we have decided to classify your fortune as slightly above average. Since you have not contributed any cultivation techniques, spells, or spiritual items, we will compensate and reward you with a total of 6,000 catties of spiritual rice, which can also be exchanged for other feasible and understandable equivalent requests."

"Fourth, if you suffer any harm or unfair treatment, whether overt or covert, due to the level of fortune you have gained from this extraordinary encounter, you can report it directly to the Peak Master, and he will surely give you justice and compensate you for your losses."

"Fifthly, this 'miracle' was jointly witnessed by the Earth Hall, the Conduct Hall, and the Virtuous Hall. In the future, when it is necessary to assess qualifications and potential to determine resource allocation, this record will be made public and used as the main basis for resource allocation. Do you have any objections?"
