Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

"Although the Flame Stone and Fire Cloud Stone are highly sought after, they are hard to come by."

"But there was a nest of turkeys."

"Perhaps we could give it a try, cultivating the spirit soil indirectly, and cultivating the Fiery Sun Fruit indirectly."

The excrement of spirit beasts and demon beasts can fertilize the spiritual soil, and the spiritual plant masters in the market are not unaware of this method.

However, before spirit beasts like the Fire Feather Chicken develop intelligence, they are no different from ordinary wild animals and will peck at the spiritual plants in the courtyard; in addition, spirit beasts in the early stages are very fragile and prone to dying, and so on, which are a series of problems.

Most of the time, spirit plant masters spend spirit stones and effort, but the rewards they receive are often less than the costs they incur.

As for Lü Ping, who possesses the ability to establish a mental connection with spirit beasts and plants, he is naturally not troubled by the above-mentioned problems.

Gently stroking the Fire-feathered Chicken's pale yellow down, the smooth texture was irresistible.

[A low-grade, first-tier spirit beast, the Fire Feather Chicken, is naturally drawn to places abundant with fire spirits.]

The Firefeather Chicken staggered out of Lü Ping's grasp and headed towards the location of the Flaming Sun Fruit.

Upon arriving at the location of the Flaming Sun Fruit, the young Firefeather Chicken, perhaps exhausted, plopped down against the fruit's thick roots.

As if sensing the aura of the Sun Fruit in the courtyard, another young Firefeather Chicken also approached.

Two young fire-feathered chickens nuzzled affectionately against the thick rootstock of the Sun Fruit.

"It's true that they are naturally drawn to places abundant with fire spirits."

Lu Ping gently placed the other three eggs on the root of the Flaming Sun Fruit.

As time slowly passed, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and Yan Yangguo enjoyed a sunbath.

Three Fiery Chickens broke free of their eggs and entered a new world.

Upon arriving in the new world, the young Firefly Chickens displayed remarkable vitality.

They began to absorb the fire elemental energy in the air, and their pale yellow fur gradually turned fiery red.

[Spiritual Plant Master, where did you get this little guy?]

Yan Yangguo shook his head, quite curious about the five Fire Feather Chickens. As for the Fire Feather Chickens competing with them for fire elemental energy, it was nothing to Yan Yangguo.

With enough sun exposure, the mere fire elemental energy is nothing to worry about.

Seeing this, Lü Ping felt relieved and thought to himself.

I hope my method works.

"To achieve a roundabout cultivation approach."

......

The growth rate of the turkey is frighteningly fast.

Only the original Rejuvenating Grass can be compared to it.

Initially, they had to rely on the Flaming Sun Fruit during the day to absorb fire elemental energy; at night, they would return to Big Yellow's hut to spend the night in peace.

Now that my body has stretched out, it can resist the cold night wind on its own.

"A, B, C, D, E, dinner's ready!"

Through telepathic connection, Lü Ping notified the five Fire Feather Chickens to start their meal.

A handful of hemp seeds were scattered on the spiritual soil, with a focus on the location of the three Flaming Sun Fruit plants.

Hemp seeds are a type of grass seed that doesn't qualify as a high-ranking plant, but the Fire Feather Chicken happens to love eating them.

Lu Ping once scattered green corn and hemp seeds at the same time. All five pheasants ate the hemp seeds on the ground first before choosing to eat the green corn.

Within the sacred land.

Five half-grown pheasants buried their heads, searching for hemp seeds, focused solely on eating.

These pheasants had long since shed their pale yellow down feathers, and their bodies were now covered in layers of fine, fiery red feathers, making them quite plump.

The two roosters absorbed the fire elemental energy day and night, and ate hemp seeds. As the fire elemental energy accumulated, a crimson comb slowly rose on their heads.

After finishing the hemp seeds in the spiritual soil, under Lü Ping's mental command, these fire-feathered chickens began to peck at the insects in the spiritual soil, as well as some unknown grass seeds that had fallen there at some unknown time.

After eating and drinking their fill, these Firefeather Chickens would support themselves with one claw and grasp the thick root of the Flaming Sun Fruit with the other, then excrete their droppings onto the spiritual soil where the Flaming Sun Fruit was located.

This trick, "Yellow Dog Pees," was taught to the group of Firefeather Chickens by Lü Ping through instruction and demonstration.

Each of the pheasants, with its perfect posture, clearly demonstrates mastery of this technique, a true transmission from "Dahuang".

Slightly warm feces fell and accumulated at the base of the Sunflower Fruit.

At night, Big Yellow would carefully turn over the Fire Feather Chicken's droppings into the spirit soil.

"How is it, Flaming Sun Fruit? When the Fire Feather Chicken was young, it grew by absorbing the fire elemental energy around you; now that it's grown up, I'll create a good nurturing environment for you."

The master is truly exceptionally intelligent.

"Master, what do you think of my 'yellow dog peeing' trick?"

Big Yellow, with its tongue lolling out and a silly look on its face, rubbed against Lü Ping's trouser leg, eager to claim credit.

"Excellent, excellent, Big Yellow, you deserve the most credit."

Ignoring the treacherous Lü Ping and Da Huang, the three Flaming Sun Fruits fell into a long silence.

Finally, he said something.

【The plant spirit master, we are impressed.】

Fire-feathered chickens usually eat hemp seeds and absorb scattered fire-elemental spiritual energy, which is then stored in their bodies and combs.

Because the three Flaming Sun Fruits had been cultivated for a period of time, the fire elemental spiritual energy they attracted made the spiritual soil rich in fire elemental spiritual energy.

If the Fire Feather Chicken cannot digest the excess fire elemental energy, it will expel the fire elemental energy through the undigested fire hemp seeds.

By using the droppings of the Fire Feather Chicken to cultivate and nourish the spiritual soil in the courtyard, the shortcomings of the spiritual soil in cultivating the Blazing Sun Fruit can be indirectly made up for.

The Fiery Sun Fruit, now nourished by the droppings of the Fire Feather Chicken, looks radiant.

Within the No. 1 and No. 2 spiritual soil areas, three sturdy and short spiritual plants quietly took root.

On each branch of the spiritual plant hangs a Flaming Sun Fruit. The fruit's skin is translucent and lustrous, with a warm, crimson-gold glow flowing across its surface. Wisps of fire-elemental spiritual energy emanate from the plump, round, and radiant fruit.

After months of nourishment from the spiritual soil, fake sunbathing, genuine sunbathing, plus the droppings of fire-feathered chickens.

The growth rate of the blazing sun fruit has increased significantly again.

but.

Lu Ping turned to look at the Fire Feather Chickens resting under the three Flaming Sun Fruits. They were growing quite fast and were estimated to be ripe by the end of May.

The breeding time for Fiery Feathered Chickens is approximately forty days.

Lu Ping estimated, his right hand inadvertently touching the cloud-patterned bamboo.

【Cloud-patterned Bamboo: ......】

into the night.

Lu Ping originally intended to use the [Mysterious Sword Forging Divine Method] to temper and nurture his spiritual consciousness, but he always felt somewhat uneasy and his spiritual consciousness was wavering.

The saying "on a whim" also applies to cultivators; in fact, for cultivators, an impulsive whim can be a warning sign.

Lu Ping chose to follow his heart and did not activate the [Mysterious Sword Forging Divine Technique] to temper his spiritual consciousness.

The oppressive and stifling feeling, solidified like a tangible tide, spread outwards.

Lü Ping pushed open the door and looked up at the sky.

The clouds and moon above are nowhere to be seen at this moment, and all is still and silent.

Boom!

Suddenly, a clap of thunder roared across the sky, without warning, abrupt and unusual.

It was late April, still early in the season. Logically, based on my experience of living in Yunzhufang for over a decade, there shouldn't have been any spring thunder.

Splash!

Large raindrops gathered into lines and poured down, as if the sky had been torn open and the Milky Way was overflowing, threatening to flood Yunzhufang City.

Lu Ping frowned, his spiritual energy surging within him, forming a protective shield to protect the Flaming Sun Fruit in the spiritual soil.

Boom!

Silvery-white lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the entire Yunzhufang City.

"If a cultivator were to fly by overhead..."

"I wonder if this counts as undergoing tribulation ahead of schedule..."
