Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Tasting countless herbs to discern their medicinal properties was not difficult for Jiang Yuan. He was unafraid of poison, which was also a form of primordial energy; once it entered his body, it could be refined by the Creation Scripture.

If the poison is too potent and the Creation Scripture cannot refine it, that's alright. His accumulated merits are genuine; he can simply use them to detoxify.

In addition, tasting all kinds of herbs can also help Jiang Yuan's cultivation. Spirit herbs are also among the myriad spirits of the primordial world, and each one contains different innate primordial energy.

The myriad herbs are the myriad kinds of innate primordial energy. If Jiang Yuan can comprehend them all, even without condensing the Nine Sons Incarnation, he can still achieve the Dao Fruit of Creation Celestial Immortal.

The creation of all things is not limited to living things; it can also include mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

Everything you see before your eyes can be transformed!

Only in this way can creation be perfected and the supreme primordial Dao fruit be achieved.

Tasting ten thousand herbs is not only related to merit and the Earthly Emperor's Book, but also to cultivation. It is becoming increasingly important to Jiang Yuan, so he attaches more and more importance to it.

This led to his avatars traveling outside the region having more frequent contact with other races, striving to get their help to collect more spiritual herbs for his cultivation needs.

……

Tasting all kinds of herbs is easy for the wealthy Jiang Yuan, as long as he collects enough spiritual herbs.

The same principle applies to cultivation. All you need to do is collect enough of the essence blood of the nine sons. This is already underway and it's not difficult; you just need to wait.

The real challenge is domesticating foxtail grass and cultivating it into millet.

Although they share a common origin, foxtail grass transforms into millet, and they are no longer the same species. Just as a dragon is a transformation of a jiao (a type of dragon-like creature), can we say that a dragon is a jiao?

The transformation of foxtail grass into millet exemplifies this principle; it is a magnificent metamorphosis of life, a journey from the mundane to the sacred, stepping into a new world.

This is a transformation at the level of life itself, the difficulty of which is unimaginable. It is a mystery in the way of creation, second only to the creation of something from nothing, and it has blocked countless lives.

The road to transformation is full of hardships and setbacks. It is not only a matter of life and death, but also a matter of long time and immense resources.

To undergo a transformation at the level of life, massive resources are indispensable. Without investing massive resources, how can one defy fate? Relying on willpower? What good is that!

"The first step in cultivating millet is to select high-quality seeds."

Jiang Yuan used the incarnation of millet to leave the sacred temple and come to the wild, where he selected the best batch from millions of foxtail grasses to cultivate as grain seeds.

Although foxtail grass is just a very common spiritual herb, its growth cycle is not as long as that of innate spiritual roots, which take tens of thousands of years to mature. Even so, it still takes a year for it to mature once.

Jiang Yuan wasn't sure exactly how many trials he would need to cultivate foxtail grass into millet, but it would probably take several thousand or even tens of thousands of trials.

It takes a year to mature once, and thousands upon thousands of times, that's thousands upon thousands of years. That's too long, and Jiang Yuan is getting impatient.

Fortunately, the character creation chart came in very handy at this time. Jiang Yuan had previously used it to record history, and it unexpectedly resonated with the flow of time.

From this moment on, the Character Creation Diagram gained the ability to manipulate the flow of time. Jiang Yuan had already tested it before; the Character Creation Diagram was the fastest, capable of slowing down or speeding up time by a hundredfold.

In other words, foxtail grass, which originally took a year to ripen, can ripen in three or four days thanks to the accelerated time processing in the character-making diagram.

Thousands of years is a long time, but with a hundredfold acceleration, ten thousand years is no more than a hundred years, which makes it easy for people to accept.

Cultivating millet requires resources, and using the character-creation diagram to accelerate the process also requires resources. This time, Jiang Yuan has truly gone all out, investing resources second only to his own cultivation efforts.

If it succeeds, all will be well; if it fails, Jiang Yuan will probably vomit blood.

……

Soon, the first experiment began.

Jiang Yuan obtained the treasured Breath Soil from the Ancestor of Fire, transformed it into a small spiritual field next to the Holy Temple, planted the carefully selected high-quality seeds, and then used the character creation diagram to accelerate time.

Finally, we just have to wait for it to mature.

Breath Soil, the essence of the earth, is a byproduct of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, a treasure of creation, containing abundant creative energy. It can transform into divine mountains to fill seas, or into spiritual fields to accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs.

Long ago, the goddess Nuwa created humans from the Nine Heavens Breath Soil at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. The nearby divine soil sensed this creative energy and transformed itself into pieces of Breath Soil.

After the birth of the ancestor of the Fire, he felt that the human race might need this item, so before migrating to the shores of the East Sea, he collected them all.

And these Breath Soils thus became the magic treasure of the Ancestor of Fire. Yes, magic treasure. Breath Soils are the essence of the earth, each grain no bigger than a grain of rice, yet as heavy as a mountain.

If one grain is like this, what about ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million grains?

In the hands of the Ancestor of Fire, there were millions of grains of Breath Soil. Once unleashed, it was as if millions of primordial divine mountains were simultaneously crushing down. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be crushed to death.

It was thanks to this that the human race was able to gain a foothold on the shores of the East Sea and drive away all the invading ferocious beasts.

In the hands of the Fire Ancestor, the Breath of Earth was a powerful magical artifact. But in Jiang Yuan's hands, it became a helpful tool for farming. The energy of creation it contained could greatly reduce the difficulty for foxtail grass to transform into millet.

……

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and the foxtail grass that was once just a seed is now fully mature.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and put them away. He compared them and found that they were not much different from before. This was normal; it was only the first experiment. To see obvious changes, he would have to experiment several more times.

From this batch of seeds, Jiang Yuan selected the best-quality ones, replanted them, and then waited for the harvest.

In the blink of an eye, another three or four days have passed. The process is repeated again: selecting high-quality seeds, planting them, and waiting for them to mature.

Through repeated selection and breeding, the foxtail grass spikes grew larger and larger, the fruits became fuller and fuller, and the spiritual energy contained within them became more abundant and refined.

Everything was going well, but the good times didn't last long. Soon, Jiang Yuan encountered problems.

Foxtail grass needs energy to grow. Part of it comes from the spiritual energy contained in the soil, and part of it comes from the spiritual energy in the air.

The latter is alright; it can't absorb the amount of water needed for foxtail grass to grow.

However, the vitality contained in the land has been largely absorbed and gradually depleted as the foxtail grass matures time and time again.

As the spiritual energy in the earth diminishes, the foxtail grass, which had already begun to resemble millet, starts to degenerate.

Insufficient spiritual energy means insufficient nutrition, which cannot support its continued evolution. Forcing growth at this time will naturally lead to degeneration.

"fertilizer!"

Jiang Yuan, who came from the future, quickly devised a solution after discovering this situation: if the soil is infertile, supplement it with chemical fertilizers.
