Chapter 32: Comprehending the Spiritual Plant Master's Inheritance
"The way of the spiritual plant master is based on the way of the earthly immortals. It uses the benefits of the spiritual plants of heaven and earth to assist in the practice of the Great Dao. The way of the spiritual plant master was born at the beginning of heaven and earth.

Planting, cultivating and nurturing spiritual plants in the world.

"Planting" means planting spiritual plants, identifying the growth conditions of spiritual plants, planting environment, and changes in spiritual growth...

"Practice" means to cultivate the growth cycle of spiritual plants, cultivate the growth environment of spiritual plants, and cultivate the spirituality of spiritual plants, so as to shorten the maturity time of spiritual plants and enhance their spirituality...

"Nurture" means to nurture the spirituality of spiritual plants, to nurture one's own great way, to nurture the spirit of mountains, rivers and streams. Use one's own great way as the seed and the spirit of spiritual plants as the foundation, plant them between heaven and earth, and the way of earthly immortality will be achieved.

One thought and mountains and rivers appear; one intention and the universe changes.

A novice spiritual plant master enters the Tao through "planting". He must plant all kinds of plants in the world, understand all kinds of soils in the world, and know the spirituality of all kinds of plants in the world.

The art of distinguishing soil, the art of observing spirits, the art of nurturing spirits, the art of vitality, the art of five-element spiritual rain, the art of Gengjin…”

Mu Yunsheng placed the jade slip against his forehead, and a piece of information merged into his mind. He could read it at will and remember it clearly.

"So this is the way of a spiritual plant master." After a long time, Mu Yunsheng put down the jade slip on his forehead, and he had a clear understanding of the way of a spiritual plant master in his heart.

He also learned a lot of spells of spiritual plant masters, including the Five Elements Spiritual Rain Technique to help spiritual plants grow, and the Spirit Nurturing Technique to strengthen the vitality of spiritual plants.

These magic jade slips all contain the methods of cultivation, and Mu Yunsheng can practice them whenever he has time.

"A first-rank low-grade spiritual plant master needs to know how to grow at least five first-rank low-grade spiritual plants. These can be spiritual rice, spiritual fruit, or spiritual medicine, and must be able to grow them successfully."

"At the same time, we must identify at least three types of spiritual soil and select the spiritual plants that are suitable for planting."

"A first-level mid-grade spiritual plant master needs to know how to plant at least ten first-level mid-grade spiritual plants and thirty first-level low-grade spiritual plants, and be able to plant them successfully."

"Identify the qualities of at least ten types of spiritual soil and choose whether it is suitable for growing spiritual rice, spiritual medicine, or spiritual fruit."

"A first-grade, top-grade spiritual plant master must know how to grow at least thirty first-grade, top-grade spiritual plants, one hundred first-grade, mid-grade spiritual plants, and any one first-grade, low-grade spiritual plant, and must be able to grow them successfully."

"Identify at least thirty types of spiritual soil, and understand each type of soil, how it helps certain spiritual plants grow, and what negative effects will arise from planting certain spiritual plants."

"A first-level spiritual plant master can only be considered an apprentice who has embarked on the path of a spiritual plant master. Spiritual plant masters who are higher than this level even need to cultivate their own spiritual plants, shorten the growth time of spiritual plants, and improve the spirituality of spiritual plants."

"They even cultivated various spiritual plants, with specialized spiritual soil suitable for their growth. The growth conditions allowed them to transform ordinary soil into spiritual fields. This involved some aspects of formation techniques."

"The Soil Identification Technique can identify the various types of soil and the distribution of spiritual energy in the spiritual field. The Spirit Observation Technique can observe various spiritual plants, their inherent spiritual properties, and their spiritual growth."

"It's like constantly testing the spiritual roots of spiritual plants."

"The Soul Cultivation Technique can nurture the spirits of various spiritual plants, making them more powerful and allowing them to grow better. The Liu family's spiritual rice seeds in the Yuxu Spiritual Field should have been germinated using the Soul Cultivation Technique."

"The Vitality Technique can strengthen the vitality of various spiritual plants and revive sick and weak spiritual plants. The Five Elements Spiritual Rain Technique can convert spiritual energy into the spiritual rain required by spiritual plants of various attributes, nourishing their growth."

"Although these spiritual plant masters' spells may not seem to be of much help in the battles between cultivators, they each have their own unique and mysterious effects on the cultivation of spiritual plants."

Mu Yunsheng pondered, feeling his horizons broaden. He took out another jade slip, channeled his true energy into it, and placed it against his forehead. "I am Ren Zhenglu, a cultivator from Southern Su Province. I began my cultivation at the age of ten, refined my Qi at the age of fifteen, and reached the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of thirty-two. However, I have wasted half my life without achieving anything."

"Fortunately, I accidentally obtained a spiritual plant master's inheritance. Since then, I have embarked on the path of spiritual plant master cultivation. After decades of hard practice, I was lucky enough to become a first-class spiritual plant master. I was treated with courtesy by many cultivators and forces, and was treated as a distinguished guest."

"But now I am eighty-four years old, and the road to the great Dao has been cut off. However, I am unwilling to give up. I am a person who has obtained opportunities. From a low-level cultivator, I have become a first-class, top-grade spiritual plant master respected by everyone."

"How could I, like these ordinary cultivators, end my great path and want to achieve the great path through the path of a spiritual plant master, cultivate my own spiritual plants, and become a second-level spiritual plant master?"

"This will allow me to gain more resources, prolong my lifespan, and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

The jade slip records the life of a monk named Ren Zhenglu.

Mu Yunsheng looked carefully and saw the mediocrity of an ordinary cultivator in the first half of his life, his surprise and excitement at getting the opportunity to inherit the title of spiritual plant master, and his high spirits as he became a first-class, top-grade spiritual plant master.

Later, he was unwilling to accept the loneliness of the end of his own spiritual practice.

"After becoming a second-level spiritual plant master, can the resources obtained allow a cultivator over eighty years old with declining blood and energy to become a foundation-building cultivator?" Mu Yunsheng pondered in his heart, and some curiosity arose in his heart.

Although the purpose of a cultivator's practice is to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish his body, his qi and blood will deteriorate if he has not yet broken through to the foundation-building stage.

Generally, a cultivator's Qi and blood will begin to decline at around the age of sixty. The time when Qi and blood decline will vary depending on the cultivation method practiced by the cultivator.

But after the age of eighty, a cultivator's qi and blood will begin to decline.

Just like Mu Kehua and Mu Mengshu, their qi and blood have already begun to decline. No matter how hard they practice and use the resources to assist them, their cultivation level cannot improve at all.

Therefore, the best age for a Qi Refining cultivator to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is before the age of sixty. However, this is very difficult. Not only does one have to cultivate to perfection in Qi Refining before the age of sixty, but one also needs to prepare all kinds of spiritual resources needed for the Foundation Establishment stage.

Otherwise, one can only forcibly build the foundation, but this approach is likely to result in death, and few cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi training will make this choice.

Among the countless cultivators in the world, there are very few who can reach perfection in Qi Refining before the age of sixty. Most cultivators waste half their lives and are still in the middle or late stages of Qi Refining in their sixties or seventies.

"Laying the foundation..." Mu Yunsheng's temperament was not affected at all, his faith in Taoism remained firm, and he continued to look at the remaining information in the jade slip.

Most of this information is Ren Zhenglu's experience in growing spiritual plants and his insights into the way of practicing as a spiritual plant master, which is of great help to Mu Yunsheng in his practice as a spiritual plant master.

Mu Yunsheng carefully looked at them one by one until he saw a spell recorded in the jade slip.

"The Mysterious Purity and Wonderful Spirit Technique can clear away the turbid energy of the earth that the spiritual plant master has contaminated in the spiritual field."

"I was wondering how a spiritual plant master could possibly not have the method to clear the turbid earth energy in the spiritual field."

Mu Yunsheng was overjoyed and quickly began to read the method of practicing this mysterious and wonderful spiritual technique in the jade slip.
