Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1981 Top-Grade Herb Field
The petals of the Killer Cherry Blossom fluttered everywhere, but carefully avoided the small open space under the tree, because everyone there was a great cultivator standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

The three hall masters of the five great halls of Qingming have arrived, along with six realm lords from the Nine Netherworlds and Ten Realms, plus the leaders of the top sects from various realms, making it a gathering of heroes.

As the exchange began, various top-quality magical artifacts and treasures appeared one after another, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

In the blink of an eye, five or six people had gone up on stage. Some successfully exchanged their treasures, while others left the stage disappointed because they couldn't find anything that met their requirements.

Li Shan happily returned to his seat. He had just acquired a powerful magic array and was very pleased.

Seeing Liu Qinghuan sitting motionless, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Liu, with so many treasures, is there not a single one that catches your eye?"

Liu Qinghuan made no attempt to hide her feelings, saying, "I'm very interested in all the treasures, but unfortunately, I'm short of money and can't afford them!"

Li Shan, however, did not believe it: "I know, you must be waiting for Taiqing and the others, right? Indeed! There is a high probability that a great treasure will appear later, even a primordial treasure is not out of the question... Hey, where are you going?"

"Go up on stage."

"Oh, so early?"

Although there are no explicit rules, these private exchanges are generally tacitly ordered by strength.

This strength does not refer to the individual cultivation level of a cultivator, but rather to a combination of reputation, power, influence, and other factors.

The boundaries are blurred, yet everyone knows the truth.

A cultivator in charge of a minor sect stood next to the Grand Master Taiqing of the Five Great Halls of Qingming; it was obvious who came before whom.

If Liu Qinghuan hadn't been in a hurry, no one would have complained if he had gone on stage last, but his decision to go on stage now clearly surprised many people.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked over to see Liu Qinghuan standing behind the round table.

Without saying a word, he took out three brocade boxes and placed them on the table, lining them up in a row.

Raise your hand and open the leftmost brocade box.

"A top-grade medicinal herb field, three or four li in size, with fine and oily soil, containing extremely rich spiritual energy of green wood."

Everyone stared intently, and saw that the brocade box was no bigger than the palm of their hand, but inside it was a small world of its own. A square piece of dark fertile soil lay quietly inside, the soil grains were full, the light was restrained, and wisps of green wood spiritual energy emanated from the soil, warm and long-lasting, refreshing and invigorating.

Liu Qinghuan picked up a small handful of soil, spread it out, and showed it to everyone.

The black soil was as fine as cream, and its spiritual energy was concentrated and did not dissipate. When it fell into the box, it even emitted a faint spiritual light.

He collected these from the medicinal herb fields of Daqingshan in Songxi Xiaodongtian. Due to the constant immersion in the essence of green wood over the years, the soil underwent a tremendous transformation, becoming spiritual soil.

"This medicinal field is used to grow spiritual herbs or immortal herbs. The harsh environmental requirements of spiritual herbs and immortal herbs can be ignored, greatly reducing the mortality rate and ensuring their good growth."

These words caused an uproar throughout the room.

It is important to know that the higher the grade of a spiritual herb or immortal plant, the more demanding its growing conditions become.

Some need to live in extremely cold places, bathing in the energy of millennia-old ice;

Some need to be born on the summit of a volcano to draw upon the earth's volcanic energy;

Some need to guard the boundary between Yin and Yang, absorbing the power of the alternation of the sun and moon...

In short, the slightest mistake will cause the elixir to wither, and centuries of hard work will be wasted.

And the medicinal herb field in Liu Qinghuan's hands can ignore all environmental limitations?
What's even more amazing is yet to come.

"In addition, this medicinal field can accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs and immortal plants, and promote their ripening ahead of time without diminishing their medicinal properties or lowering their grade."

Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned fervent.

"It can also accelerate maturation without diminishing the medicinal properties?"

Most cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, will cultivate a medicinal field within their own cave dwelling, planting a high-level spiritual herb from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage, carefully nurturing and protecting it, exhausting their energy in the process.

Even after his cultivation broke through to the Mahayana stage and transcended the tribulation, the spiritual herbs in the field still hadn't grown to maturity, and it seemed like that would be a long time coming.

The growth of spiritual herbs is too slow, and they often perish, leaving countless cultivators feeling helpless. But this medicinal field can actually increase the growth rate of spiritual herbs?!
Before Liu Qinghuan could open the next brocade box, someone stood up and asked, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, could you elaborate on exactly how much the growth rate of spiritual herbs can be increased?"

“This part should be able to improve by at least one to two times,” Liu Qinghuan said.

These words caused a stir in the audience.

A growth rate one to two times faster means that a medicinal herb that takes a thousand years to mature can be harvested in as little as three hundred years; a rare herb that takes ten thousand years to mature can be harvested in three to four thousand years.

This directly broke the time-related constraints on cultivators' cultivation of spiritual herbs, which can be described as defying the heavens.

The discussions surged like a tidal wave, and another cultivator spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, I have a question: This medicinal field is rich in spiritual energy, but if spiritual herbs are planted here for a long time, will the soil's fertility be continuously depleted, the spiritual energy gradually thin out, and eventually it become mortal land?"

Liu Qinghuan sighed inwardly. Sure enough, everyone present was a shrewd and calculating person; not a single flaw could be hidden from him.

He remained calm and smiled faintly, saying, "All things in heaven and earth have their limits. Prolonged use will inevitably lead to depletion; this is a natural principle."

Simply nourish it regularly with spirit stones, spirit fertilizer, and celestial dew, and it will remain fertile forever. As for the methods of maintenance, I doubt I need to elaborate.

The man laughed heartily, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "No need, thank you for clearing up my doubts, fellow Daoist!"

Liu Qinghuan nodded, and someone couldn't contain themselves any longer and asked loudly, "Dao Kui, what do you want to exchange?"

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "The Immortal Spirit Well."

"Ah, are you only exchanging for the Immortal Spirit Well?"

Liu Qinghuan nodded.

A large group of people fell silent.

Among the crowd, the cultivator surnamed Qu, who held the Golden Fire Immortal Spirit Well, clenched his teeth, his expression conflicted.

He desperately wanted to exchange it for a primordial treasure, but the medicinal field was indeed tempting, and he was now caught in a dilemma.

Before he could speak, a refined-looking middle-aged cultivator stood up: "I have a Flowing Cloud Immortal Spring. Fellow Daoist, would you consider it feasible?"

He handed over a storage ring.

Liu Qinghuan released his divine sense and saw a spring gushing forth from his storage ring, its clear water cascading out and forming a hazy, misty glow above.

Compared to the Golden Fire Immortal Spirit Well of the cultivator surnamed Qu, the immortal spiritual energy of this immortal spring, though not as refined, is actually more concentrated.

Liu Qinghuan was very satisfied and checked it carefully again to make sure there were no problems.

"Okay, then you and I..."

“I’m willing to trade too!” shouted the cultivator surnamed Qu.

Liu Qinghuan paused slightly, but continued to hand the brocade box containing the medicinal field to the cultivator who had taken out the immortal spring.

He tilted his head and smiled slightly: "Sorry!"

The cultivator surnamed Qu was filled with regret, angry at himself for hesitating.

Having successfully obtained a spring of immortality, Liu Qinghuan considered himself to have fulfilled his disciple's request. As for the immortal spirit stones his disciple gave him, he accepted them with a smile.

He opened the second brocade box.

In an instant, a refreshing and invigorating fragrance swept through the entire venue, its pure and mellow aroma instantly invigorating the senses.

Inside the box, a pill the size of a longan fruit floated quietly, its entire body emerald green and shimmering with iridescent light.

The surface of the elixir is covered with dense, winding patterns, resembling a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, its tail outstretched as if about to reach the heavens.

"Qionghua Pill, Heaven-rank, a spiritual pill for improving cultivation in the late stage of Mahayana, with a certain probability of helping to break through realms."

"A Heavenly-Rank Pill!"
