National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 211: Crushing Times
After the village chief obtained the cold-mixed preserved eggs, he immediately asked people to conduct experiments and then found out the specific effects of the cold-mixed preserved eggs.

Lin Zhi lived in the village chief's house for several days before he met the village chief's daughter, Wang Lingyu, who was only eighteen years old.

He was not an ignorant boy. His mental age was at least fifty or sixty years old. Facing this simple-minded girl, it only took him a few days to win her heart. Then, with the consent of the village chief, they quickly became friends.

Half a month later, Lin Zhi successfully advanced to the third level of Qi training with the generous resources provided by the village chief's house.

The breakthrough in cultivation level was like a sedative, making the village chief determined to find a son-in-law.

After all, in this remote village, there are many young talents who have reached the second level of Qi training, but apart from the bastard son of Wang Bapi, Lin Zhi is the only one who has reached the third level of Qi training.

At this age, he has broken through the third level, and in the future he will at least reach the sixth level of Qi training. Under his management, it will be enough for him to inherit the hereditary position of village chief.

If he could be granted a land title underground a hundred years later, or if his son-in-law could break through to the seventh level of Qi training by chance, then he could fight for the position of mayor.

Even if we take a step back, with such an excellent bloodline, as long as one or two low-grade spiritual roots are born, the Wang family will not lose out.

This is why he made up his mind to take Lin Zhi as his son-in-law.

……

On the wedding night, with a "pop" sound, Lin Zhi pulled out the ox-powered plow.

He successfully injected the clear moon melody into the soul soil in Wang Lingyu's body.

As the spirit seed was injected, the soul soil in Wang Lingyu's body changed rapidly, just like the creation of the world. The gray soul soil space quickly turned white, and then turned from white to green in the blink of an eye. A seedling slowly broke through the soil and grew several leaves.

Then, Lin Zhi picked her up, turned his spiritual power into liquid, and watered her with rain and dew.

Soon, the seedling grew rapidly and turned into a spiritual plant with a moon crown.

As the sapling grew, the soul soil in her body gradually became filled with starlight from having no attributes.

The cyclone gathered in the soul soil of her dantian, and wisps of spiritual power from the outside world poured in.

Soon, she broke through from the second level of Qi training to the third level.

Lin Zhi showed a satisfied smile on his face.

In this Immortal Continent, cultivation is never a one-person thing.

It's a matter between two or more people.

The yin and yang of men and women work together to have a deep communication between soul and body, using soul soil and spiritual plants as a medium to mobilize the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to enter the body.

It can be said that practice is progressing day by day.

With the resources provided by Village Chief Wang, Lin Zhi lived a comfortable life and had plenty of time to practice in this disaster year when the outside world was like hell on earth.

At the same time, Lin Zhi in the alliance successfully analyzed the immortal cultivation techniques from the Xiantai Continent.

Then he tried to practice.

This practice is not important, he discovered the wonderful thing.

As a member of the alliance, he actually managed to cultivate magical powers!

Due to the high level of his soul and body, as well as the abundant resources, he completed the advancement from the first to the sixth level of Qi training in just a few days.

Then, in less than half a month, he completed the Qi training stage and successfully entered the foundation-building stage.

At this time, Lin Zhi had a vague idea in his heart, that is, since the soul soil can exist in the body of the cultivator.

Can he find a way to store the soul soil in the void into his dantian, or even merge it with his dantian to become the world inside his body?

In addition, when he learned that there was a civilization that could cross the void, he already felt uneasy.

This soul land realm is attached to the void outside the world and is actually not safe.

It’s just that there is no existence in the void that can destroy the soul land realm.

What if one day, this soul land is destroyed?

So, wouldn’t it be better if we could take the Soul Land realm into our body?

The skills of the Immortal Embryo Continent seem to be able to do this...

He continued to practice, and in less than a year, he successfully formed the elixir.

At this time, Lin Zhi realized that his idea was not impossible through deduction of the exercises.

However, in order to merge the Soul Land Realm with the Dantian Purple Mansion, he needs to at least reach the Refining Void Realm.

That is the "legend" corresponding to the gardener.

This cannot be done in a short period of time.

……

In the Xiantai Continent, after a whole year of practice, Lin Zhi and Wang Lingyu successfully entered the fourth level of Qi training.

When they reach the fourth level of Qi training, the resources of Wangjia Village can hardly support the cultivation needs of Village Chief Wang, who is at the fifth level, and his wife, who are both at the fourth level.

That day, Lin Zhi was called to the living room by Village Chief Wang.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, he saw his wife Wang Lingyu waiting there.

"My dear son-in-law! Look what this is."

Village Chief Wang pointed to a golden feather placed on a jade plate on the table.

There was a blazing flame floating on the feather, which was terrifying.

"This is?"

Lin Zhi was puzzled.

"This is the feather of the Three-legged Golden Crow. I found it by chance while collecting herbs at the foot of a cliff dozens of miles away."

The village chief smiled and said, "Do you know why there was a severe drought last year?"

"One of the two suns in the sky is not the real sun, but the wandering corpse of a three-legged golden crow!"

"Ah? The sun is the corpse of the three-legged golden crow?"

Lin Zhi pretended to be shocked, but thought to himself that if this three-legged golden crow could transform into the sun of an entire prefecture, its strength would at least start from the level of a holy crown.

"This Golden Crow Feather is too high-end for us. Even if we want to refine a magical tool, we can't refine it. Therefore, I plan to let you take this Golden Crow Feather to the county town and join the main branch of my Wang family."

The village chief smiled and said, "With this Golden Crow as a gift, you will definitely be accepted. In the main branch, you will have sufficient resources for cultivation. It will not be a problem for you to advance to the sixth level of Qi training in the future. You can come back and take over my position as village chief."

"I see, father-in-law, would you like to leave with us?"

"No, going to the main branch is not as comfortable as being a village chief. If you were not lacking in cultivation resources, I would never send you away!"

Lin Zhi nodded to show that he understood.

The old village chief wants to divide the family!

But this was exactly what he wanted.

After all, the strategic mission of this clone is to quickly advance into the mortal world, squeeze into the upper echelons of the Immortal Continent, and obtain intelligence by the way.

So, he had an idea and assigned himself a task through the system simulation of the training manual.

[Main Quest: Go to Qingshi County]

[Task Reward: Soul Seed × 1]

"Father-in-law, if that's the case, then take care of yourself. Once we have a firm foothold in the main vein, if you no longer want to be the village chief, we will take you over to live out your days in peace."

"Haha, go ahead!"

Without packing anything, the next day, Lin Zhi took Wang Lingyu and drove an ox cart to the county town.

A year passed, and the road from the village to the county town was littered with dead bones, the plants were free of insects, and large tracts of spiritual fields were barren.

Even though the Golden Crow in the sky had long disappeared by this time.

After about a day, in the evening, Lin Zhi and his companions saw the county town in the distance.

After paying the entrance fee, the two drove straight to the residence of the main branch of the Wang family.

Soon, Lin Zhi and his companion were ushered into the living room by the steward, and a woman received them. In the living room, Lin Zhi couldn't help but look at the woman on the main seat who looked like a fairy among flowers, but years of beauty had only made him admire her without any other distractions.

“This Golden Crow Feather is very complete. It is indeed a good material for refining the Nine Bird Fan. Very good, you can join the main line of my Wang family and contribute to the family.” After checking the bloodline of the Golden Crow Feather and Wang Lingyu, the woman smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, miss!"

Lin Zhi hurriedly thanked him.

"By the way, starting today, you need to go to the metallurgical field in our clan to learn how to purify and process materials. The Wang family does not support idlers. In addition to the basic monthly supply, if you want to obtain additional resources, you need to make family contributions."

The eldest lady reminded, "This material is simple to purify and process, it does not involve family secrets, and it is relatively easy to obtain resources."

"Thank you for your guidance, Miss. We will go and learn tomorrow!"

Lin Zhi said quickly.

He was also very curious about the difference between the material processing in this world and what Meng Xingchen taught him.

What is the difference between the handmade products in the world of immortal cultivation and the assembly line production of the alliance?

The next morning, Lin Zhi got up early and went to the Wang family material warehouse under the guidance of his clansmen.

As soon as I entered the door, a wave of heat hit me in the face.

The surroundings were filled with the sound of iron hammering and the smell of strong air.

You can see many furnaces and stone platforms on a large open space, and countless strong men are forging with hammers.

Huge bronze furnaces were placed around the walls of the warehouse, emitting flames of various colors, and a huge star map was drawn on the floor.

"This is the All Materials Smelting Diagram. We can follow the steps above to smelt various stones and synthesize some precious magical instrument materials."

Someone nearby introduced Lin Zhi.

"I see!"

Lin Zhi nodded, memorized the pictures calmly, and then transmitted them to his main body.

As soon as the main body received the memory, it immediately analyzed it and quickly understood the essence of these material drawings.

"So it's a super alloy... Since these super alloys contain materials that we haven't seen before, we couldn't identify them for a while... So..."

As the main body's mind moved, the infinite skynet started to operate, and soon, these stone materials were decomposed and reduced to the most basic molecular structure. By understanding the characteristics, millions of extraordinary alloy formulas were soon deduced.

These recipes were modeled and virtual experiments began.

However, most of the alloys formulated are useless.

In the end, out of millions of recipes, only a few hundred useful alloy recipes were obtained.

According to the level of the Immortal Continent, he selected dozens of alloy materials for the Qi training realm and transmitted them to his clone.

In the Xiantai Continent, Lin Zhiyi felt confident as soon as he obtained this new formula.

He patiently learned material handling from the Wang family, and gradually innovated by combining the alliance's material handling. With his social skills, he soon won the appreciation of the warehouse manager.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed by, and his cultivation reached the fifth level of Qi training. Feeling that it was almost enough, Lin Zhi took out a piece of innovative extraordinary alloy and went to find the steward with some wine and meat.

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Zhi took out the alloy.

"Brother Shan, I accidentally made this recently, would you like to take a look?"

Seeing the extraordinary alloy emitting green light in Lin Zhi's hand, Wang Shan was instantly no longer drunk and took the alloy to look at it.

"This is... a new magical weapon material! How did you obtain it?"

"I was thinking that soft gold is very tough, but it's too soft, and spiritual steel is very sharp and hard, but too brittle. I wondered if it was possible to combine the characteristics of the two to create a new material?

However, although the idea is good, the two cannot be combined well due to the conflict of properties, so I took the five-color copper and combined it with it..."

Lin Zhi described his innovation process in detail, and Wang Shan's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Good, good, good, very good! You have created new materials for the family!"

Wang Shan showed surprise on his face. Although this material was only for a Qi training-level magic weapon, it was indeed new, which meant that it had created a new way to make money for the family.

More importantly, being able to create new spiritual materials is a genius!

Once he reports it, the contribution points will be huge!

"Haha, brother, I won't stop until I'm drunk!"

The next day, Lin Zhi was encouraged by the eldest lady as he wished and was promoted to the position of deputy general manager.

In the next few years, he "invented" new materials from time to time, solidifying his identity as a genius in spiritual materials, and through practice, he reached the seventh level of Qi training.

The reason why cultivation is so slow is mainly because the spiritual roots of this body are not strong enough.

For example, Lin Zhi's original body has already reached the perfect golden elixir state in the past few years and is beginning to prepare for the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul state.

In the Wang family, the family's strength is only at the foundation-building stage.

On this day, Lin Zhi took out a new spiritual material, a spiritual material that could be used to refine a foundation-building magic weapon.

As soon as he took out this spiritual material, he instantly became the core focus of the family from being the focus of attention.

He was summoned by the Wang family's foundation-building ancestor, "Old Lady Wang".

Seeing Lin Zhi, the old lady looked at him and couldn't help but sigh, "He is indeed a handsome man with a strong talent for spiritual materials. Unfortunately, this spiritual root..."

Lin Zhi had been dealing with the alliance families for many years, and he instantly realized that the old lady was trying to tie him down and make him closer to the Wang family.

After all, he was just one of the non-core son-in-laws in the Wang family who joined in halfway.

If you want to be intimate, the only option is marriage.

And this is exactly what he wants. As more and more people practice dual cultivation, he can plant more spirit seeds and then gain cultivation bonuses.

So he took out a recipe.

"Chief, spiritual roots are not a problem, the key is the ingredients. My ancestor once traveled and found a magical recipe. Take a look..."

"This... tender beef?"

"Yes, it is this immortal dish. It can change the aptitude of spiritual plants and make my spiritual roots at least reach the middle grade. Unfortunately, this ingredient requires the flesh and blood of five kinds of foundation-building monsters: blue cow, yellow cow, black cow, white cow, and red cow."

Lin Zhi sighed.

"This... middle-grade spiritual root..."

The old lady was shocked.

In the Xiantai Continent, spiritual roots are very important, and are roughly equivalent to the future of a cultivator.

Inferior spiritual roots, even with great opportunities, can only end up with perfect Qi training.

Inferior grade spiritual roots, foundation building at best.

Only those with medium-quality spiritual roots can hope to form a pill.

Only a Jindan cultivator can get rid of the status of an ant.

Middle-grade spiritual roots do not exist in his Wang family!
This elixir is too precious. Once it is leaked, I’m afraid the entire Qingshi Immortal World will not have peace.

But the next moment, he frowned.

She had no way of hunting down the five foundation-building monsters...

"It seems that we can only contribute the immortal recipe, contact the city lord, and organize a hunt..."

She already had an idea in her mind and a smile appeared on her face.

"Very good, very good, are you willing to marry Qing'er?"

Qing'er is the eldest daughter of the Wang family.

Lin Zhi immediately looked delighted and said quickly, "I have admired you for a long time, but I already have a Taoist partner..."

"This is not the norm in the world of immortal cultivation. Dao couples are more capable. When I come back from hunting monsters, I will hold a wedding for you..."
