Cultivation begins with harvest.

"Alright, I'll come back in two years. I hope you can save some for me then." Yang Qingfeng was clearly determined to get them. He turned his gaze to the other side and said, "So this is what all the melons look like. Brother Chen, could you please help me pick out the melons? Eighteen of them, I want them all."

"I can't comment on the spirit tea. Senior brother is very kind. Let's come and see next year before deciding. It's too early now." Chen Guang didn't dare to agree immediately and walked into the spirit field, skillfully picking one Linquan pumpkin after another.

Chen Guangxian first picked out the largest melons and gave them to Yang Qingfeng, making a total of fourteen. He completed the deposit transaction first, then sold the remaining four to Yang Qingfeng at seventy yuan each, earning 980 yuan. (The previous chapter mistakenly wrote ten; this has been corrected.)

Yang Qingfeng took the melon, did a quick inspection, offered a few words of praise, and then prepared to leave.

However, on the way back from this spiritual field, I glanced at the ice mist array a couple more times, and looked at the spiritual plants in the field that were mostly gone but still full of vitality, but I didn't ask any more questions.

As they approached the courtyard gate to say goodbye, they noticed rows of potted spiritual plants inside. Thinking about the difference between Chen Guang's cultivation level a year ago and now, a thought struck them, and they changed their words: "Brother Chen, in a month and a half, I will gather some like-minded people to exchange cultivation experiences. Many cultivators from various halls will be returning. If you are interested, just come to the Red Fragrance Restaurant and mention my name. We can exchange ideas and learn from each other."

Chen Guang was taken aback for a moment, then agreed. He chatted with Yang Qifeng for a couple of minutes before seeing him off.

The reward orbs for the eighteen Linquan Pumpkins have already been harvested. The Black Thistle Soil mainly increased the number of Linquan Pumpkins produced. This batch is at least of excellent quality, with good quality accounting for half of them.

In total, I obtained 28 Spring Spring Techniques, 24 Spring Spring Technique Talismans, and 20 Thousand Water Gourds.

Chen Guang grinned. There seemed to be too many Thousand Water Gourds; he couldn't possibly use them all. Chen Guang was also a little worried about how to use up this batch of Thousand Water Gourds. He had hesitated for a moment about whether to stop Yang Qingfeng, take out the Thousand Water Gourds for him, and give him a big discount. He had bought so many Linquan Pumpkins in one go, so he should be interested in the Thousand Water Gourds.

But after thinking about it, I decided to try other solutions.

Selling it to Yang Qingfeng would defeat the purpose of going to Yanmian Market. Qianshui Hulu is still the only one of its kind, and its identity overlaps with that of Yanmian Market, so it would be a waste of more than a thousand yuan a month.

The harvest of 20 water gourds also gave Chen Guang two more insights into the knowledge of recipes.

"At least we finally have the technique to solidify the seed of the Linquan Pumpkin."

Chen Guang took a look and realized that it was actually a simulation of how wild Linquan pumpkins produce seeds, replicating the sudden temperature changes and spiritual energy concentration. It required careful attention from the seedling stage to be able to condense seeds in this way. Before he could condense first-grade top-quality spiritual plants with Void Spirit Seeds, he would inevitably have to use this method to obtain Linquan pumpkin seeds.

It is also possible to cultivate some of the *Fanmu Chunhua* variety, because seedlings grown using traditional seed-forming techniques will not produce fruit.

Meanwhile, the first phase of the Linquan Pumpkin harvest reward was also achieved, but what was obtained was a strange egg about the length of a forearm with light blue stripes.

He didn't feel any special spiritual energy just by looking at it, but the moment he held it in his hand, the overwhelming spiritual energy made Chen Guang's hand tremble involuntarily. The feeling it gave him was even far greater than that of a spirit stone.

Spiritual Item: [Spiritual Spring Egg]

Category: Curiosities

Grade: Tier 1

Description: When placed in spring water and nourished for about three days, it will break through and rebuild, forming a common-grade [Spirit Spring] that can last up to ten years. A very small spiritual vein will form at the bottom of the spring. Excluding the early and late stages, it can produce at least one and at most two surplus spirit stones per month. The spirit spring can produce [Spirit Spring Water] composed of pure spiritual matter, while increasing the concentration of spiritual energy within a certain range and slightly altering the surrounding environment. Taking away too many spirit stones will reduce the lifespan of the spirit spring, the quality of the spirit spring water, and the concentration of spiritual energy, and it is difficult to restore.

It can also be done by using the Yongquan technique, which takes three times longer.

Related description (spiritual spring water): Composed of pure spiritual matter, it can improve the quality of spiritual plants when used to irrigate them; for spiritual plants that can absorb large amounts of spiritual spring water, it can shorten their growth cycle.

There's such a great thing!

Just reading the description made Chen Guang's heart flutter. No wonder the inspiration was so amazing.

He quickly put it into the Black Void Serpent Belt. His heart was pounding. With this thing, Chen Guang even had a fleeting thought that he could cultivate on his own even if he left the Qingheng Sect, but he immediately suppressed the thought.

The Qingheng Sect is incredibly rich in spiritual energy and cultivation resources. If you leave the Qingheng Sect and fight alone, it's fine if you have a continuous supply of spiritual spring eggs. But if you only have one spiritual spring egg that lasts for a maximum of ten years, then it's not worth it.

Given Chen Guang's current circumstances, if he were to become a rogue cultivator, he would definitely need to be in a remote, desolate place to fully utilize his abilities.

But the thought of leaving Qingheng Sect and having to deal with the headache of finding spirit plant seeds alone buried the idea deep in his heart.

"However, I need to inquire whether it's possible to secure a private cave dwelling within Purple Spirit Peak. It's one thing for a Spirit Farmer to live in a courtyard like this, but as a deacon disciple or something, shouldn't one at least have their own little plot of land?"

Chen Guang suddenly had a fourth small goal: to have his own little world. He was doing well now, but he looked forward to that future even more.

The first goal was to have our own spiritual tea tree, which we have now achieved.

My second goal is to become a deacon disciple.

My third goal is to become a plant spirit master.

The fourth goal is to have one's own little piece of land, whether it's within or outside the clan, but it must be a private area that is unique to oneself.

Chen Guang was well aware that the free spiritual fields granted by the sect did not yet belong to him. Looking at his four goals, he was becoming increasingly audacious.

This is a good thing!

"Of course not now, but regardless of whether the sect has the necessary conditions, I can certainly make such preparations, because they will all come in handy."

In addition to selecting fire-attribute spirit plants, a new additional objective has emerged: to find spirit plant species that can reward regular resources and collect some seeds.

If we consider the worst-case scenario of leaving the sect to cultivate on our own, then we certainly can't calculate based on favorable conditions; otherwise, what's the point of preparing?

Therefore, if one wants to cultivate, the concentration of spiritual energy must be guaranteed. Occupying an unclaimed spiritual vein is too risky. One can strive towards the direction of the Spirit Spring Egg. Chen Guang also knows that being able to create a rare item that can sustain for ten years and provide a surplus of one spirit stone and one spirit spring every month, although it is only a first-tier item, is definitely worth far more than a first-tier spiritual item. It may be more expensive than most second-tier spiritual items. One can only move in this direction. Hoping to obtain Spirit Spring Eggs from the market and other channels is not very realistic, but collecting some spiritual items that gather and lock spirits is still a good choice.

Secondly, one must farm, as this is one's foundation and cannot be abandoned, which requires various kinds of spiritual soil.

The Purple Spirit Soil has some Purple Spirit Earth Roots stored here, which can transform land into Purple Spirit Soil. It's enough for now, and a few more roots will be enough for the cycle. There's no need to search for spiritual plants that reward Purple Spirit Soil.

However, apart from that, Chen Guang only has two kinds of spiritual soil resources: Swallowtail Grass corresponding to Floating Oil Cloud Soil and White Mist Floating Duckweed corresponding to Frosty Pure White Sand. He still needs to continue collecting them.

Just thinking about all the preparations makes the workload seem daunting.

Chen Guang is only thinking about it now. Qingheng Sect is good to him in every way right now. He would be reluctant to leave if he really had to, but he does need to find a place for his own territory. He can't just use the spirit spring egg in the courtyard, can he?

Taking a few steps back, only two mu of these few mu of land were planted casually by myself, which is not enough.

After thinking it over for a while, we decided to go to the fields first.

The two Xuanwen bamboo plants have matured. I should go and check on them to calm my restless mind. For a moment, I couldn't tell if it was my poor state of mind or if I was just overwhelmed by the good things the reward orb had given me. But I must pay attention to this and practice more. If necessary, I should travel outside. The reward orb can give me good things, but it can't help me improve my so-called state of mind.

Chen Guang, carrying the Thousand Needle Wren's nest, pretended to circle the Mysterious Pattern Bamboo twice. In reality, he would take the reward orb as soon as he got close. He could take it out and open it whenever he wanted before the reward orb disappeared. As for the Mysterious Pattern Bamboo, he would definitely not take it. He had taken good care of the two bamboos this year, and by next spring, there would be four more bamboo shoots. Why would he cut down the Mysterious Pattern Bamboo now for the sake of momentary pleasure?

Since we were already there, we went to see the Buzhiji and Dingzhen tea trees as well.

When approaching the Dingzhen tea trees, a group of lazy thousand-needle wrens will puff out their chests and stare intently at the Dingzhen tea trees, showing a natural sense of closeness.

Chen Guang didn't open the reward light cluster until just before going to bed that night.

"Received one piece of Xuanwen Bamboo (Excellent), and obtained six copies of the first volume of the cultivation technique [Azure Xuan Body Refining Technique]."

"Harvested one piece of Black Pattern Bamboo (Excellent), and obtained six [Vitality Pills]."

Chen Guang's gaze sharpened. Azure Profound Body Refining Technique?

This sounds much more sophisticated than the Blood Sutra.
