Cultivation begins with harvest.

The plan to find Lin Miao, who was cultivating, was still unfulfilled. After browsing through various shops, Chen Guang headed to Chunyuanju.

Having accumulated three days of insights at Chunyuan Residence, I plan to use them all this time. I'm not in a hurry to go home. The two Thousand Needle Wrens are well trained, and I've made arrangements for some spiritual plants that need immediate care. The Thousand Needle Wrens are more than capable of handling them. As for the other spiritual plants, even if Chen Guang doesn't appear for a month, it won't have much of an impact.

With practiced ease, Chen Guang appeared before the Inheritance Steps. Upon arriving at the Inheritance Steps again, a gust of wind blew, like a giant hand, enveloping Chen Guang and placing him on this step before dispersing.

As soon as he stepped onto the platform, a flood of information rushed in. Chen Guangwei closed his eyes and carefully absorbed the information.

Having already taken the fasting pills, three days passed in the blink of an eye. When he was awakened by the sound of the bell, he was already standing on the 125th step.

Several lines of transparent characters floated above the steps, listing Chen Guang's achievements:

Chen Guang ranked 277th among the cultivators who entered the inheritance stage within ten years.

The rankings that follow, spanning centuries and generations, are even less relevant. Rankings within the top 300 are more worthy of further investigation.

My ranking of nearly 300 is a good goal that I can strive for.

"The inheritance of the Void Spirit Seed is nearing its end. I should be able to fully comprehend it around level 150. If I thoroughly understand all the existing Spirit Plant Master inheritances, I can master it in a maximum of two days next time."

Chen Guang was quite confident. If the requirement for advancing to the next step within the inheritance stage were on a scale of 100, it would be 60 points. Chen Guang believed that he could easily reach 80 or 90 points by going back and digesting the information.

With a deeper understanding and appreciation of spiritual plant practitioners, I will be able to go further next time.

You need to understand and digest food first so you can go further next time. If the food from the previous meal hasn't been fully digested, don't try to stuff too much food into this meal.

This time, nothing unexpected happened, which disappointed Chen Guang. He had gathered a lot of plant essence on the inheritance steps and thought he could get some other benefits, even just another cup of Xi Feng Spirit Tea.

When Chen Guang returned to Xingfeng Market, Cang Yunxian gave him another big surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, we actually found a top-grade first-level water-attribute spiritual plant that you requested," Cang Yunxian said with a smile, taking out a stone box the size of a pumpkin with intricate patterns carved in the center. "It has unique healing effects. Although it doesn't have the effect of rapidly restoring the body, each time it matures, its mature flower is preserved."

Under Chen Guang's excited and curious gaze, Cang Yunxian opened the stone box.

The flower cluster, which appears to stand upright, is a water-blue inflorescence with orange-red fuzz along its edges. It is a series of hollow, nested, stacked rings, resembling an upright honeycomb.

"What kind of spiritual plant is this?" Chen Guang asked in surprise as he sensed the peculiar and intense moist aura emanating from the water-attribute spiritual plant. Even though he considered himself knowledgeable, Chen Guang couldn't recognize the origin of this spiritual plant.

Cang Yunxian held the enormous stone box as if it were a rouge box, and said with a proud smile, "This is a harvest of my Cang clan in the Endless Wilderness. A single wreath of this plant can have remarkable healing effects. Because I couldn't recognize the origin of this spiritual plant, it took several years of cultivation to confirm some of its characteristics. However, because I didn't understand its reproductive mode and the nutrients it needed, its condition deteriorated day by day. And since there was only one of these, I've decided to sell it."

As Chen Guang listened, he observed the plant and found that although it was peculiar and indeed possessed all the characteristics of a top-grade first-tier plant, it was in a somewhat wilted state and even showed signs of dehydration.

Dehydration is not good news for a water-attribute spiritual plant. It's like steel being without iron or charcoal not burning.

"This spiritual plant is dehydrated," Chen Guang reminded him.

Cang Yunxian nodded: "Yes, so what I mean is to give it to you as a token of my gratitude for your support of the Fanglin Hall of the Cang Clan over the years. You have been searching for such a spiritual plant recently, and the Cang Clan happens to have one. I hope you will not find it too valuable."

"What are you saying? I'm already incredibly grateful that you've thought of me." When Cang Yunxian actually handed the stone box to Chen Guang, he was beaming with joy.

This stone box is considered a first-grade spiritual artifact, and it has a rather unique function in storing spiritual plants. The stone box is naturally the icing on the cake. For Chen Guang, he is not afraid of having problems, but he is afraid of not having them. Even a skillful cook cannot make a meal without rice.

However, it wasn't until he took the stone box that Chen Guang belatedly realized what was going on.

Meeting Chen Guang's suddenly raised gaze, Cang Yunxian immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Chen, you have already thought of it. Ice-mouth shrimp oil is easy to refine, and ice-tail shrimp are also easy to raise. Once they are fully mature, their cost is even lower than expected. During this period, two similar spiritual items that nourish the meridians have been left unsold."

"It has also been of great help to my people. Consider this a congratulatory gift. But the real gratitude is here: if you want the spiritual items on these, you can buy two at half price."

Cang Yunxian took out the book of spiritual artifacts that Chen Guang had looked at last time.

Above is the Thousand Bright Azure Flame Lamp that Chen Guang has been longing for, but even at half price, it still costs 30,000 silver coins plus five hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. Moreover, his accumulation of offensive items is already slightly excessive, so he definitely wouldn't choose it now.

Chen Guang put down the stone box, still somewhat uncertain, and said, "Shopkeeper, have you misjudged me?"

"Yes," Cang Yunxian readily admitted, "Sometimes, although we can determine the function of some spiritual items, their true market value can only be fully determined after they have been invested in. Ice-mouth shrimp oil is indeed useful, especially the taste. Compared with other delicacies that are effective for the meridians, cultivators prefer shrimp oil. It is also not troublesome to refine and cultivate. We misjudged the value of the formula, so we should be honest with you, fellow Daoist. This compensation is appropriate."

"And then you gave me two 50% off Lamborghini coupons? Luckily, I can actually afford them," Chen Guang thought to himself.

These merchants are cunning; even though it's compensation, they're still thinking about how to make money.

However, at the time, all the shops were pessimistic about the frozen shrimp oil because although its cost was not high, its potential was low. In addition, there were many similar competing products. The consensus was that it could squeeze into the market, but that was about it. They underestimated the formula.

Now it seems that what makes the iced shrimp oil stand out is not its effectiveness or cost-effectiveness, but its decent taste. This has strengthened Chen Guang's idea of ​​collecting gourmet recipes. The difference between a bitter medicine and a sweet medicine for the same effect is quite significant, although shrimp oil does not reach that level.

If frozen shrimp oil truly dominated the market, I would have sensed it and noticed more discussions about shrimp oil. But it hasn't, which means there's only a noticeable increase, not an overwhelming advantage.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm very interested in this Azure Cloud Boat, and I happen to have two hundred-year-old spiritual herbs." Chen Guang decisively took out two hundred-year-old Fire Grass and 20,000 Ears of Yuan from the Black Void Serpent's belt.

The Azure Cloud Boat is a mid-grade flying spiritual artifact. It can also release a wide range of clouds and mist to confuse the opponent's vision. It is also engraved with a defensive formation called the Evergreen Azure Wood Formation, which has the characteristics of rapid repair and toughness. Although its flight speed is not outstanding, it is more in line with Chen Guang's wishes.

Chen Guang's current weakness lies in his ability to travel long distances, and the Azure Cloud Boat can make up for his weakness in long-distance travel. Although it has many functions, they are all useful, so there is nothing to hesitate about.

Cang Yunxian was slightly surprised that Chen Guangzhen could immediately produce two century-old spiritual herbs. She swallowed back the words she was about to say, "If this compensation is valid at any time," and said from the bottom of her heart, "Fellow Daoist has great courage. Yunxian admires you."
