Cultivation begins with harvest.

Why make things difficult for him?

The monk from the Hall of Wise Men remained calm and simply wiped the chess pieces off the board, the crisp "clinking" sound echoing throughout the room: "Not everyone is fond of these things."

"You—" The cultivator from the Earth Hall stared intently at the other party, but the other party remained calm. Helpless, he shook his head, put down the chess piece between his fingers, turned to look at Chen Guang, and made the latter straighten his back again. "Generally speaking, it takes three days to enter the inheritance stage for the first time. Too little time may not be enough to open a special small meridian, and too much time means that it is not suitable for cultivating the path of a spirit plant master."

"This is the stepping stone of inheritance. One day here is equivalent to several months of study outside. The initial entry is the most difficult, but some people seem not to realize this difficulty. That means they are truly talented in this path. Perhaps their meridians are naturally unblocked, or perhaps they have outstanding talent in the path of spiritual plant master."

"Chen Guang, you are clearly the latter. The fact that you were able to reach the 71st step in one day is proof of that. Therefore, the sect wants to reward you, Zi Ling Peak wants to commend you, and we all have high hopes for you."

Chen Guang's expression hardened. Why was he becoming more conspicuous the more he tried to hide himself?

However, this is nothing. Cao Fang has already promoted himself as someone with good comprehension but poor talent. Cultivators with good talent generally have high comprehension, but there are also cultivators with poor talent but extremely high comprehension.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators had no idea what Chen Guang was thinking; they simply assumed he had taken it to heart.

The cultivator from Xiantang carefully took out a jar that looked like blue glass: "This is carved from first-grade [Hidden Essence Stone]. Inside are two ounces of Xifeng Spirit Tea. This is the first reward. Use it when necessary."

Chen Guang carefully took the green jar. It was icy cold to the touch. The jar, which was only three inches tall, weighed twenty pounds. It was carved with simple flowers. He lifted the lid, which was also carved from Tibetan stone. Inside, there were tea leaves that were bluish-white with streaks of white light. They were the refined Xi Feng Spirit Tea. Chen Guang put the lid back on and solemnly thanked the two cultivators.

The cultivator from the Earth Hall said solemnly, "This is not our achievement, but a generous gift from the sect. I have a second reward here. Spirit plant masters have an enormous need for the essence of plants. If you deliberately try to absorb it, no spiritual plant can withstand it. Therefore, this [Mysterious Pattern Bamboo] is a gift from the sect to support your cultivation of spirit plant master skills. It contains a huge amount of plant essence. You know how to use it."

The monk from the underground temple opened a wooden box, inside which were two green bamboo seedlings covered with silk-like crimson patterns, emitting an amazingly fresh scent.

"Chen Guang will never forget the kindness of the sect in nurturing him." Chen Guang accepted the wooden box with heartfelt emotion and was overjoyed. Only then did he put both rewards into the Black Void Serpent Belt.

"Haha, then we'll wait and see." The two cultivators laughed and set up the chessboard again.

Chen Guang drank the cup of Xi Feng Spirit Tea in one gulp, and his mind immediately became much clearer. Some of his previous ambiguous guesses immediately became more certain.

After thanking the two cultivators again, he left and returned to Qiuye Pavilion along the corridor.

There is one more place I can go to now: the Hall of All Things and the Hall of Heavenly Things. The former contains rare and precious spiritual plants, while the latter contains evolutionary paths and specific cultivation plans.

The former is more meaningful, but Chen Guang already has several acres of spiritual fields, plus the Xuanwen bamboo, which is enough to give him a headache about where to plant them. It is really unnecessary to add more difficulty for himself.

The latter is too difficult to evolve into a spirit plant, and the difficulty of upgrading a spirit plant is self-evident.

However, Chen Guang couldn't control his curiosity and really wanted to see what the treasures of Ziling Peak were like.

"At worst, this will broaden my horizons and help me plan what to buy after reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining. For the early stage of Qi Refining, I can just focus on studying the inheritance steps."

With this in mind, Chen Guang still chose to enter the Wanwu Side Hall through the scroll.

The Hall of All Things can only be entered once by any cultivator during the early, middle, late, and perfect stages of Qi Refining. Each time, only one thing can be selected. Chen Guang has now entered, and he will not be able to enter again before reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The Wanwu Side Hall seemed to grow in the wild mountains and forests. It had multiple entrances, and once someone entered, they had to wait a while before they could enter again. Chen Guang entered the Wanwu Side Hall smoothly. The moment he stepped in, all he could hear was the sound of the wind rustling through the trees, and he could smell the rich fragrance of the flowers.

The place was full of spiritual energy; spiritual plants were everywhere. Within a radius of about thirty steps, everything beyond was hidden behind lush, tall spiritual plants. Chen Guang saw more than forty kinds of spiritual plants.

Some love water, some hate light, and some can even plunder life for miles around, yet they all appeared harmoniously before Chen Guang's eyes, making him wonder if all of this was some kind of illusion.

So complex, yet growing together so closely, yet without interfering with each other?

Chen Guang was completely stunned.

A disciple of the Earth Hall, dressed in a blue robe, emerged from behind a dense clump of peonies the size of washbasins. He glanced at Chen Guang and walked over: "This is the [Mirage Candle Maiden's Constellation Array]. It has the ability to evolve future changes and can evolve various forms of spiritual plants that are still seeds. However, it can only evolve to a fixed state. It is very useful for spiritual creatures that do not have strong autonomy. When used on cultivators, it is only useful for seeing the physical differences after age. In other aspects, it is very limited."

"My name is Chen Shiqi, and I am the guide within the formation. These are the spiritual plants you can choose from the Myriad Things Side Hall. Their shapes are all identical to the real ones. I can only tell you how much time it takes to comprehend the spiritual plants you choose and how I will retrieve the seeds for you. Whether you can recognize the origins of these spiritual plants is entirely up to you, Junior Brother," Chen Shiqi said with a smile.

what?

Chen Guang couldn't help but sense something was amiss.

He had no idea what they were. Of the forty-odd spiritual plants at the entrance, he could only vaguely recognize more than ten, all of which were incredibly rare plants mentioned in books. But he couldn't be sure if the remaining twenty or thirty were even more precious. So, he asked somewhat hesitantly, "Senior brother, may I try handling these spiritual plants?"

Chen Shiqi nodded: "That's right, that's the beauty of the Mirage Candle Maiden Array. Although it's an illusion, it's so realistic that it can fool people. It can realistically simulate all kinds of sensations, and some poisonous spiritual plants will even make you experience the real feeling of being poisoned for a short time."

Seeing that Chen Guang seemed hesitant, Chen Shiqi explained, "Junior Brother can take his time. Once you enter the Myriad Things Side Hall, you can leave whenever you want."

That being said, Chen Guang couldn't really stay here any longer. He had already been away from home for a day, and he still had to go back to take care of the Ice Tail Shrimp today.

"Then, junior brother, may I take a look first?" Chen Guang tried his best to identify the various rare and exotic plants. Some of them were only described in words in various books. It was the first time Chen Guang had seen the real thing, and he was amazed.

The chrysanthemum that resembles a burning flame is called the "Plated Flame Chrysanthemum," which can temper the body. With long-term use, it can give the body amazing resistance to fire-attribute spells.

The tree with starlight falling on its leaves is called the "Starlight Tree." It is often used to gather spiritual energy within a certain area, similar to the Moonlit Robe. The Starlight Tree, on the other hand, disperses starlight and can assist the growth of some spiritual plants related to stars.

The bright red, blood-red fruit growing on a verdant vine is the [Vermilion Fruit], which can increase cultivation and is the main ingredient of a top-grade elixir for enhancing cultivation.

……

In general, he suffered from a lack of knowledge. Chen Guang had read quite a few books about spiritual plants, but compared to the knowledge of spiritual plants in the entire cultivation world, it was just a drop in the ocean. There were far too many that he didn't recognize.

At first, I could recognize more than ten of the forty-odd species, but as I delved deeper, I could recognize fewer and fewer.

Chen Guang also saw other cultivators, accompanied by disciples of the Earth Hall, identifying spiritual plants within the formation. They exchanged glances, all sharing the same frustration and confusion, and had given up on communicating.

After taking a quick look around, Chen Guang found that the Wanwu Side Hall was not very large, covering an area of ​​less than ten acres. There were only about two hundred kinds of spiritual plants, but Chen Guang could only recognize less than forty of them.

Chen Shiqi also thoughtfully explained, "Before entering the Hall of All Things, many cultivators are well-read, but the spiritual plants here are mostly rare and precious. Some of them are unique in Purple Spirit Peak, so it's normal not to recognize them. The Hall of All Things is all about fate."

In the end, Chen Guang couldn't help but touch the spiritual plants. The reason he asked Chen Shiqi that question was because he was hoping that if all else failed, he could try to trigger the reward orb. He really didn't have any hope, since everything in front of him was an evolution of the Mirage Candle Maiden's Array, not real spiritual plants, and their effects were questionable.

But it was precisely because the Mirage Candle Maiden's Array used a trace of the original spirit plant seed to evolve this scene that it could not have evolved without the spirit plant seed. Perhaps it was this trace of energy that allowed Chen Guang to use the reward light orb.

But this is the only option left; it's better to try anything than to leave empty-handed.

Touching the lush, green plant in front of him, which bore doll-like fruits like a magic flower, was unusually slow. At the same time, he felt his magical power disappearing even faster. In his surprise and uncertainty, after losing one-twentieth of his magical power, a message suddenly appeared.
