Cultivation begins with harvest.

Finding an excuse, such as finding the thornless one more interesting or pleasing to the eye, Chen Guang, like a gambler, spent the remaining two days of his meditation time and obtained two dark, round seeds.

Each time you enter the Hall of All Things, you can only choose one type of spiritual plant, but there is no requirement for the quantity. As long as you are willing to pay the price, you can choose one seed. Generally, spiritual farmers will choose only one seed.

Because time for contemplation is very precious.

Successfully cultivating to the ninth level of Qi Refining only guarantees a minimum of 45 days of comprehension time. Whether it's the Nine Husbands Inheritance or rare spiritual plant seeds, both consume a huge amount of resources. Balancing these needs is a challenge.

The two seeds of the Unyielding Thorn in Chen Guang's hand had already been treated by a spiritual plant master, ensuring a very high germination rate. If they failed to germinate, with the seed remains, as long as it was confirmed, Chunyuanju could compensate with a new seed.

"It seems my wish to grow an acre of Linquan pumpkins is going to be in vain."

Having successfully left the underground hall, Chen Guang couldn't help but think this as he rode the spirit crane back to the branch building.

Without thorns, it's all about improving one's own aptitude. Even if it's just a water spirit root, its status among cultivated spirit plants will rise rapidly. It's also suitable for growing in the environment of black thistle soil, so it goes without saying who should give way.

The Mysterious Pattern Bamboo is related to the cultivation of spiritual plant masters, and it is also quite suitable for soil like Black Thistle.

We can only reluctantly give up two or three-tenths of the land for Linquan Pumpkin.

Looking down from the sky at the orderly spiritual fields below, each displaying a different color due to the different spiritual plants planted there, Chen Guang couldn't help but fantasize about how wonderful it would be if all these endless spiritual fields were his own.

These delusions gradually faded away as the crane landed. With a joyful heart, she first went to the Ice Mist Array and was relieved to see that the Ice Tail Shrimp was alright.

After feeding the spirit beasts and teasing the Ice Armor Turtle, he stopped.

The ice mist array remained largely unchanged, except for the emergence of some tender blue leaf buds on the ground, a sign that the Frost Grass was sprouting.

If we were to meticulously calculate the changes, we could also include the fact that the number of white duckweed mother species has exceeded one hundred.

After making some preparations, Chen Guang began to turn over the spiritual field of Linquan Pumpkin, first mixing it with two-tenths of an acre of black thistle soil, and then carefully planting Unyielding Thorns and Mysterious Pattern Bamboo.

The place where the thorn bush is planted is right where the water channel enters and exits. We try our best to create the riverbank environment that the thorn bush needs. Although it is drought-resistant, it still likes water. It is the kind of plant that likes to pass through a forest of flowers and only leaves a leaf that gets wet.

Others who use this spiritual plant would prefer to water it more frequently but less often to avoid causing diseases. Chen Guang, however, used the soil-wood symbiosis technique to measure the required size of the thorny plant as it grows. During this period, all that is needed is to widen the ditches in the field and backfill them as the thorny plant grows.

There are no particular taboos about the Mysterious Pattern Bamboo. It is somewhat similar to the Mother-and-Child Gourd that Chen Guang saw. Both are representatives of abundant and vigorous plant essence. Apart from that, it does not have any special function. Selling bamboo shoots is an economic activity. If you have to say, mixing some spirit ore fragments with spirit soil can make the Mysterious Pattern Bamboo that grows as hard as iron and as solid as rock.

Its habits are similar to those of *Bambusa textilis*. In addition to being shade-tolerant, it is best suited to soils with good drainage and a certain amount of humus, such as black thistle soil. It is less tolerant of waterlogging than *Bambusa textilis*, and the rainy season has a significant impact on the growth and quality of *Bambusa textilis*.

The growth and reproduction of the Mysterious Pattern Bamboo is not slow. It grows fastest in summer, growing an inch taller every day. This is a spiritual plant, and such growth efficiency is first-class. It can grow up to about 40 feet tall. In spring, it can grow at half the speed of summer. In autumn and winter, it does not grow much.

The bamboo shoots are produced at a reasonable rate; each mature bamboo plant can produce two or three shoots per year. However, it takes about three years for a bamboo shoot to grow into a mature bamboo plant.

The two Xuanwen bamboo plants that Chen Guang was given had been treated by a spiritual plant master. They were like miniature spiritual bamboos, and they could mature in a year. They did not look like bamboo shoots, as bamboo shoots require transplanting with their roots, which is more troublesome.

??????

Most of the bamboo seedlings on the market are of two types: bamboo stumps and rhizomes.

The rhizome is the root system of bamboo. It is named for its segmented shape resembling a whip. Burying rhizomes for seedling cultivation is a common method for treating bamboo species. Processing the rhizome is easier, as only a few bamboo shoots need to be retained, which reduces the pre-treatment process.

Bamboo stumps are formed bamboo with only the part of the bamboo stalk very close to the root system and the complete rhizome. This type has the highest survival rate. Other methods require starting all over again. Damage to the bamboo shoots and rhizome will greatly affect germination and survival. Bamboo stumps are like an adult undergoing surgery and then being transferred. The risk resistance of the two is different. It is also suitable for transplanting sacred bamboo.

Only after placing the black-patterned bamboo in a location slightly away from the ditch could this task be considered complete.

It took Chen Guang several days to complete all of this.

This acre of spiritual field now has two Dingzhen tea trees at one end, Xuanwen bamboo and Buzhi thorn at the other end, and the Linquan pumpkin's territory in the middle, which is estimated to be a little over six fen.

Fortunately, he had only agreed to the order from Yang Qingfeng, a disciple of the Qi Hall, otherwise Chen Guang would have had a headache just to deliver a sufficient number of Linquan pumpkins.

There aren't many things to take care of in the spirit field now, and Chen Guang has more than half a day each day to do his own things.

He would occasionally show his face at gatherings of other cultivators in the branch building to make his presence known. Other cultivators would also jokingly ask Chen Guang if he had changed his medicine again. Chen Guang, without any hesitation, took out the Qi-Harmony Pill he had bought with 500 catties of spirit rice and asked him some questions.

This truly left a deep impression on them, making them eager to improve themselves.

But secretly, he was somewhat sarcastic. With the Pure Spirit Qi, he dared to take a lot of medicine at the second level of Qi Refining. He said that there might still be hidden dangers and he might be stuck at a certain level, but in his heart, he still wished he could take his place.

As for the medicine, Chen Guang didn't take a single pill; it was just a formality.

With the reward glow of Jade Heart Grass around, Chen Guang will have to stay away from drug use for a long time.

At other times, Chen Guang would occasionally exchange ideas with Cao Fang. Cao Fang was more experienced than Chen Guang in cultivating fire-attribute spiritual plants, which was the result of accumulated experience. Cao Fang, who had a great need for the precise operation of the Flame Mist Technique, also accepted this exchange of knowledge. Since both of them were cultivating the Blood Scripture at the same time, they had more in common. Chen Guang was also happy to do this. Waiting for the Blood He Shou Wu to nourish his understanding of the technique was too passive. It was also beneficial to actively comprehend it.

While Chen Guang was comparing his understanding of the formations at the Scripture Pavilion, he also took the opportunity to use the free spell exchange opportunity. He exchanged for the Concealing Breath Technique to suppress his strong pure energy. By the middle of this month, the previous pure spiritual energy was completely exhausted and replaced by a new one.

The Purple Flower Green Guidance not only prevented the conflict between the Purple Qi of Dawn and the Pure Spirit Qi, but also allowed the two to merge. It allowed the Pure Spirit Qi to actively integrate and improve the physique. Otherwise, without the mortal energy, the Pure Spirit Qi would be passively consumed and the speed at which it changed the physique would be ridiculously slow. It was only after merging with the Purple Qi of Dawn that it became active.

Otherwise, that nearly exhausted spiritual energy could last for another two or three months before it was completely depleted.

He spent another 200 jin of spirit rice to buy the incantation for the Qi Observation Technique.

While the techniques of observing qi and concealing breath do not require extensive mastery, it is always better for cultivators to have some knowledge than none at all. After much deliberation, Chen Guang concluded that investing in these two techniques was the most worthwhile investment.

Winter is chilly, and people prefer to gather under the sun to chat and have fun. There is less farming in winter, and it is not good for Qi cultivators to cultivate for too long. So people naturally have the leisure to get together and talk about everything under the sun.

Chen Guang didn't appear in public very often, despite the daily routine.

On this day, the pile of weeds harvested from the spirit field in front of Chen Guang was as tall as a person. Chen Guang raised his palm, and as his magic power surged, a layer of hazy blue appeared on his palm, as if there was an invisible vortex. The weeds in front of him withered and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a misty moisture was rising. Even after all the weeds were exhausted, only a wisp of not very thick blue energy entered his palm.

This is the essence of plants.

The weeds in the spiritual field also benefited from the spiritual energy and grew very well. However, when it came time to actually extract the essence, only a small amount of plant essence could be extracted from a large bundle. There was still a world of difference between spiritual plants and weeds.

After the essence of these plants entered Chen Guang's palm, it was absorbed by a blue seal-like entity within this special, tiny meridian, making it less dim and giving it some luster. Chen Guang only had one such blue seal in this part of the meridian.

This is the Azure Seal of the Void Spirit Seed. It condenses the life seed and requires this Azure Seal to activate the incomplete primordial energy within the incomplete seed. Theoretically, the first-order Azure Seal that Chen Guang cultivated can activate up to ten seeds at once. He has tried it, and at his current level, he can only activate three seeds at a time. Moreover, after each activation, one Azure Seal will be consumed.

With Chen Guang's current abilities, he would need to activate at least ten incomplete seeds at once to condense a seed with complete vitality. He's not very good at this and needs more practice.

Manipulating the Azure Seal is like manipulating a weightless car; it's not easy or effortless. Chen Guang truly realized that the Void Spirit Seed is not so easy to obtain, and that once you understand it, you can easily and casually condense a seed.

It still requires a lot of practice.

Practice requires consuming the Qi of Qingzhuan, and the essence of plants cannot be generated out of thin air. It needs to be obtained from spiritual plants by using the method of absorbing and refining the essence of plants in the Nine Husbands' inheritance.

This made Chen Guang eagerly desire the Mysterious Pattern Bamboo. Only with a large quantity of Mysterious Pattern Bamboo could he practice extensively and improve his spellcasting level with the Void Spirit Seed.

Looking back now, receiving the reward of Earth-Wood Sympathy was a huge win. It was equivalent to gaining knowledge of a subject with a starting score of 60, saving so much trouble compared to the Void Spirit Seed.
