Cultivation begins with harvest.

Without spending any money, Chen Guang headed home.

Shrimp oil can continue to be refined, but it should be used to supply oneself first. This kind of spiritual substance has always had a certain upper limit to its use. Once it reaches a certain level, it will no longer have any effect. Even if you want to sell it, you should wait until you have used enough yourself.

Back in the building, I found that the orchids had also ripened.

Its fragrance after blooming is intoxicating, elegant and subtle, and lingers for a long time. Before the bark of the Ice Pine was ready to breed Blue Blood Mosquitoes, Chen Guang used two black beetles to test it.

The effect is remarkable.

Although the black beetle had just been awakened from its frozen state, and its movements were exceptionally slow within the icy mist array, it still wriggled its thick body and laboriously crawled toward Leng Xianglan ahead.

Its effect of attracting insects and beasts is real and effective, but it needs to be used more reasonably.

As for the rewards, the excellent quality Cold Fragrance Orchid yielded two [Orchid Insect Pouches], which are storage artifacts specifically designed to hold spirit insects. Spirit insect pouches and spirit beast pouches are of the same type and can be used interchangeably, although using them one-to-one will yield better results.

The orchid sac can remove the aura tainted by spirit insects and also allows them to rest peacefully. It can hold thousands of even large spirit insects. Chen Guang immediately transferred the black beetles into an orchid sac. One by one, they woke up from their frozen state and fell asleep as soon as they were stuffed into the orchid sac.

The spirit insect bag is made specifically for spirit insects. Although it can be used to decorate other things, it is only suitable for the aura and spiritual energy of spirit insects. It may actually harm other spiritual objects, so it is best not to do so unless there is a real need for it.

Seeing this, Chen Guang was also willing to pay the price to keep the Lengxianglan blooming.

Ice Flower Stone can make the Cold Fragrance Orchid bloom for an extra season, and the mixture of Moon Essence Liquid and Cold Water Spirit Liquid can extend the flowering time of the Cold Fragrance Orchid to ninety days. So let's use it for a longer period of time. It's a bit of a pity to put it in the Ice Mist Array. There aren't many spirit insects in the Ice Mist Array yet. Moving it outside can attract some pests, making it easier to deal with them.

The thousand-needle wrens, which had been hatching for more than a month, were much more energetic. They were all fluffy and finally looked cute. Although they had the ability to move, they still curled up in the nest. Now that they were no longer waited on hand and foot, Chen Guang kept communicating with the four little ones using the Tongyu Xieling. The effect of this animal taming skill was like water dripping on a stone, so it was necessary to use it often.

I've made some progress in cultivating the Ancestral Blood Seal during this period, and I might master it by early next year. The difficulty of cultivating this soul technique is indeed not simple.

As Chen Guang and the Thousand Needlewort deepened their relationship, the Frosty Grass and the White Duckweed also matured one after another.

Perhaps due to the artificially created environment, only two of the 81 Frost Grasses grew to excellent quality, while the rest were of ordinary quality. The reward was a unified [Ice Source Cold Fiend], which is a type of Earth Fiend. The Earth Star Echoing Fiend needed to repair the Star Mountain Token is also a type of Earth Fiend, making it a very precious cultivation resource.

"Earthly Fiends?"

Chen Guang became interested and took out the Ice Source Frost Fiend, placing it on the ground for careful observation.

The spiritual energy within the Earthly Fiends is often chaotic and highly destructive. Although it is very pure, it is like a group of muscular thugs, quite lawless. Many secret techniques in the cultivation world are created based on the Earthly Fiends, and they are extremely lethal. The Earthly Fiends are also a kind of combat weapon that can be used for a long time once refined and mastered.

A single Frostweed only received a reward of Ice Source Frost Qi the size of a grain of rice. The Ice Source Frost Qi mixed together and immediately fused into a ball. To separate them, one could easily use some magic power to separate them. However, unexpectedly, just using magic power to make contact caused the coldness and ferocity to cut into Chen Guang's body like a knife. In an instant, the cold air invaded his body, causing Chen Guang to shiver involuntarily.

Chen Guang's expression changed slightly. He quickly put the Ice Source Frost into the wooden box inside the jade box containing the spirit tools, and then stored it in the Black Void Serpent Belt.

Storage artifacts can't hold everything. If something exceeds the storage artifact's capacity, it will inevitably damage it. When the Ice Source Frost Qi was stored inside, the Black Void Serpent Belt immediately became two degrees heavier, even more so than when it was full. This indicates that the Ice Source Frost Qi was of an extremely high level, and the Black Void Serpent Belt was actually struggling to withstand it.

Chen Guang could only grit his teeth and take a look at what the first stage of the Frostweed reward was.

The newly emerging cultivation method is self-evident; it involves the condensation technique of Frostweed. Chen Guang himself possesses the Void Spirit Seed, so he doesn't place much importance on this type of condensation technique.

And the rewards were exactly what Chen Guang needed. This was no exception. The rewards from the reward orb were always related to what was gained. Not only could they reflect certain characteristics, but the subsequent rewards were also complementary and of the same kind.

Spiritual Artifact: [Ice Essence Bottle]

Grade: Mid-grade spiritual weapon

Attribute: Cold (Ice)

School of thought: Virtual Array

Description: Inside the artifact are three [Ice Fiend Torrent Arrays]. Each Ice Fiend Torrent Array can hold a certain number of icy-attribute Earthly Fiends. The more Earthly Fiends present, the stronger the Ice Fiend Torrent Array becomes. It can spew out extremely cold currents from the bottle's mouth, freezing everything and annihilating ferocious enemies in the freezing cold. The better the quality of the Earthly Fiends used, the stronger the power of the spewing cold currents will be, and it will carry some of the original power of the Earthly Fiends used. The cold currents can be manipulated and guided by spells.

Refining recipe: 0/3 (Collect the same type, grade, and quantity of Ice Essence Bottles; you can also refine them yourself)

A small, tightly sealed, ice-blue water bottle, only half the height of a hand, fell into Chen Guang's hands. It was icy cold to the touch. Its interior was inscribed with array formations, one after another. To refine it, one had to refine each of these array formations.

Different styles of spiritual weapons have different levels of difficulty in refining. The Azure style is the easiest to refine, and it can often be done in a short while.

The Void Array style is crafted by inscribing arrays, and it is the most difficult to refine. The array will slowly run on its own, just like crossing a busy traffic lane, making it one of the more difficult styles among all.

Chen Guang briefly refined it, then frowned, realizing that it would take a considerable amount of time to truly make it his own. He had to abandon the idea of ​​using the Ice Essence Bottle temporarily. He blamed himself for being too careless, actually thinking of messing with the Earthly Fiend. Now, the matter of the Ice Source Cold Fiend could be put aside; the cold energy in his body was the most important thing that needed to be dealt with.

"They've gotten too cocky."

Chen Guang kept this lesson in mind and dared not linger in the ice mist array. He hurried back to the courtyard. The autumn sun was still scorching hot during the day, but when it shone on his body, Chen Guang actually felt a slight coolness. He quickly swallowed a Crimson Melting Pill and used his magic power to dissolve it before he felt a warmth rising up.

But this is only a temporary solution, not a cure.

Chen Guang returned to the courtyard and began practicing the "Blood Scripture" without saying a word. His blood began to heat up, and the magical power flowing from his heart began to truly melt away the chill in his body. However, it was like ice and snow under the sun; although white vapor rose, the ice remained solid.

Chen Guang's heart sank. He decided to give it a try first. If the Blood Scripture didn't work, he might have to go to the market to find a spiritual doctor. He couldn't delay and leave any lingering effects; he would only regret it later.

Fortunately, with repeated flushing of blood energy, the malevolent aura finally began to break down. When Chen Guang was running out of strength, he decisively took a Blood Energy Pill, which immediately replenished his blood energy, allowing him to continue.

Again and again, until finally, that chilling aura dissipated.

Chen Guang had always practiced the "Blood Refining Scripture" in a very proper manner. It was only after being affected by the evil energy this time that he came to his senses. Body-refining techniques are not afraid of injury. On the contrary, because of the cold energy, the effect of tempering his body this time was more than one level higher.

However, Chen Guang still preferred to cultivate slowly and gently, since he didn't have a high need for body refinement at the moment and didn't need to rush to seriously cultivate the "Blood Refining Scripture".

"Perhaps we should see a spiritual healer to make sure there are no long-term effects before making any further decisions."

Chen Guang still felt uneasy and thought the money should be spent. Although he had used his magic power and hadn't noticed anything unusual, he still felt it was good to go and check, just to be on the safe side.
