Cultivation begins with harvest.

Lingtian, on the other hand, was peaceful, with almost no unusual changes.

The only truly remaining ferocious insects within the three fields were few in number. Only one centipede, which appeared somewhat timid, was still wandering around a small area within the spirit field. Especially when it saw Chen Guang appear with two thousand-needle wrens, it put on a fierce but inwardly defiant stance, as if it were ready to fight to the death.

Its rivals and food were all quickly dealt with by these two guys, and it was terrifying to see them doing it in front of him every day.

Especially when the centipede mustered the courage to try to escape and pass through the wall of poisonous gas, it was blocked by two thousand-needle wrens and remained uneasy.

Seeing it again now, I naturally panicked.

"Both of my goals this time—obtaining the sap of the spirit-capturing tree and finding the secret method to control the spirit insects—have failed. Hepu Mountain is too far; I'll just have to look around at Luo's shop in the market."

The Luo family of Hepu Mountain were skilled in insect control, so Cao Fang brought back the Luo family's specialty, the Cold Fragrance Orchid, for himself.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, so you can compare different options at Shenglingtang to choose what you want.

We can buy the White Flower Spring Grass and Azure Cloud Wood later and then enslave the centipede. For now, we can tidy up the spirit field.

The three rice plants were harvested, but the rest of the miscellaneous things were still in the fields. The other spirit fields were similar. Cao Fang helped take care of the living spirit plants, but she wouldn't help with the mess; Chen Guang had to do it himself.

The spiritual field for planting Linquan pumpkins needs to be cleared of a clean area of ​​purple spiritual soil, which is quite troublesome. Chen Guang's plan is to bury a section of purple spiritual earth root deep underground to help purify the spiritual soil in a certain area. This task is not too difficult, especially since Chen Guang has some basic knowledge of formations, so he can do it with ease.

"So you were here." Chen Guang bumped into Cao Fang in the spirit field where the Void Flower Tree was planted. At that moment, she was studying the formations and spiritual artifacts inside the Void Flower Tree.

"How extravagant." Cao Fang glanced back at Chen Guang, then at the two wrens clinging to him and refusing to get off, and said resentfully, "You two ingrates, they're always waiting in your yard, watching when you're going to come back. I've fed them so many ferocious insects, and they don't even bother to keep me company."

"It's a bird, not a wolf, hahaha." Chen Guang laughed heartily, quite satisfied. The spirit beast he raised in this way would be devoted to him wholeheartedly, something that couldn't be achieved through brutal enslavement.

Cao Fang ignored Chen Guang, but her expression turned serious as she looked at the patch of illusory flowers and trees: "You've invested so much in this spiritual field, that's why it's growing like this. My idea of ​​planting fire peaches was wrong from the start... Who helped you refine the spiritual artifact?"

"You want to replant the Fire Peach?" Chen Guang asked.

"Yes." Cao Fang's attitude was firm. "I am not like you. Most spirit farmers are actually like me, only able to stick to one kind of spirit plant. As they fail more and more, their experience becomes richer and richer, and gradually they become able to grow everything and grow everything well. That's just you."

"I'm also glad this is the Qingheng Sect, otherwise one failure would have left me heavily in debt."

Cao Fang was genuinely envious. Since she met Chen Guang, how many kinds of spiritual plants had Chen Guang planted?

None of them were complete failures. Being willing to spend money on planting in the spirit fields was part of the reason, but which spirit farmer didn't do that the first time? Only when the flowers truly bloom and wither can one truly know the gains and losses.

Cultivating spiritual plants is never something that can be achieved simply by spending money and setting up everything.

There are countless cultivators in the Earth Hall, but only a handful each year truly possess the talent to cultivate spiritual plants.

"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. At least I can be relied on when it comes to setting up formations." Chen Guang told Cao Fang about Sun Zhongqing and his own experience in improving formations. Cao Fang didn't stand on ceremony and told Chen Guang to look for sellers who needed adult fire peaches.

Cao Fang wanted to start all over again.

Now that the peaches in her orchard are all mature, it will be difficult to change their quality. High quality, like education, needs to be nurtured from a young age with appropriate methods until the end in order to achieve good results.

Starting over is very costly. Cao Fang was already short of funds due to her first investment in Huotao. This time, she also has to refine spiritual artifacts, which requires an even greater investment. She has already gone all in. Whether she still has savings or has friends to help her is something Chen Guang cannot know.

Chen Guang went to inspect all the spirit fields by himself, and didn't return home until it was a little after dark. He played with the Thousand Needle Wren for a while before taking out a storage spirit artifact that looked like a brocade pouch.

This was Chen Guang's way out. Some people knew that he had obtained this storage artifact, but no one knew what was inside or what could be taken out. It all depended on Chen Guang's words.

This gave some of the more difficult-to-handle spirits a chance to make their appearance.

Some people really do ask questions, but when asked, they say they don't know, that they just found out from inside, and that they themselves are confused.

Chen Guang opened the brocade bag, which contained nearly two square meters of space and was filled with all sorts of things.

The most conveniently located pills and some spiritual items in the back, however, were not the most abundant resources for cultivation, but rather things that could be identified with the naked eye, such as clothing used by ordinary people.

Chen Guang unfolded a book; the handwriting was messy and immature, clearly the work of a child.

In addition, there are elderly people's walking sticks, women's bracelets... some are incomplete, some are complete.

He couldn't help but sigh. These things were undoubtedly priceless treasures to Dongfang Hunshan, the source of both love and hate. Chen Guang could only remove them from the brocade bag and burn them.

There are not many things left that can truly be called treasures, only a pill formula and a somewhat shriveled [Three Wonders Fruit].

The pill is called the Golden Autumn Pill. It is used to condense the soul. Taking a maximum of three pills will allow a cultivator to release their divine sense ahead of time in the Qi Refining stage. Such an effect can be described as heaven-defying.

Qi Refining cultivators can cultivate their divine soul, but they can only master divine sense when they reach Foundation Establishment. This is a materialized extension of the divine soul, and only when one has a Dao foundation and a stable divine soul can one release this ability.

It's quite incredible that Kinshumaru could do that.

However, after carefully studying the prescription, Chen Guang discovered that it was not as exaggerated as he had imagined. At most, he could release his divine sense after taking it three times. However, each time he released his divine sense, he would need to consume the power in the Golden Autumn Pill. Without the Golden Autumn Pill and without a solid foundation to stabilize his divine soul, the price of releasing his divine sense might be that his divine soul would leak out, which was extremely dangerous.

But this is also a tactic that can truly be called a trump card.

Divine sense possesses unparalleled keenness and the ability to detect the slightest details, allowing one's thinking and perception to reach a highly sensitive state. Although it is an outward manifestation of the soul, it is also an extremely sophisticated application, as if it were a gift from heaven. Once one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, it becomes a natural ability to use it.

The use of divine sense allows cultivators to take their control over spells, formations, and so on to a higher level. If the previous limit was 100%, then with the assistance of divine sense, this limit can be broken.

The most straightforward example is manipulating magical artifacts.

Before Foundation Establishment, one relies on the imprint in the cultivator's magic power to activate the artifact, allowing one to control the artifact to make various mysterious changes even when the person and the artifact are several feet apart. After Foundation Establishment with divine sense, the range of artifacts that can be controlled is larger and the level is higher. At the same time, only divine sense can manipulate the body with its complex internal structure and "heavy" body due to its high-grade materials.

Therefore, the limit of a Qi Refining cultivator's control is a mid-grade spiritual weapon. It's not that they don't want to try higher-quality spiritual weapons, but that's the upper limit of their abilities.

The existence of the Golden Autumn Pill is equivalent to a Qi Refining cultivator having the potential to wield a high-grade spiritual weapon. This upper limit is terrifying. This is only its application in combat. When used for cultivation, the effect will be equally outstanding.

It was a reasonable idea to try to refine more Golden Autumn Pills, but Chen Guang hesitated.

There are two difficulties. One is that the medicinal properties of Jinqiu Pill can be preserved for a long time. As long as one does not use one's spiritual sense, it can remain in the sea of ​​consciousness for months, and even after a year, most of it can still be preserved. The fact that it can be preserved for a long time in the dangerous sea of ​​consciousness indicates that its medicinal properties are mild, easy to absorb, and can be preserved for a long time. This is the characteristic of Baopu Heguang.

Chen Guang's expertise lies in alchemy, which is rooted in water. While alchemy has commonalities, there are also barriers between them, which will inevitably pose a challenge.

The other challenge is the real difficulty.

The Golden Autumn Pill requires the participation of a total of twenty-nine spiritual objects, among which the three main ingredients—the Three Wonders Fruit, the true root of Thunder Jade and Emerald, and [Looking Up at Autumn Water]—are not ordinary things.

The true root of Lei Yu jadeite is formed by bearing fruit over many years, which allows medicinal properties to accumulate in the root system. It takes approximately three consecutive years of fruiting for Lei Yu jadeite to have such a true root.

The Three Wonders Fruit possesses the wondrous abilities to broaden one's consciousness, awaken one's spirit, and awaken faculties and spells. The wonder of the Three Wonders Fruit lies in the fact that different cultivators only trigger one of these three effects, and whatever is triggered the first time, subsequent consumption of more Three Wonders Fruits will be related to this ability, rather than the other two. It is an extremely valuable cultivation resource.

Even when he saw that the main ingredient was the Three Wonders Fruit, Chen Guang felt it was a pity to use it to refine the Golden Autumn Pill.

Chen Guang didn't know where Dongfang Hunshan got this Three Wonders Fruit from, and he couldn't bear to touch it. His skills with the Void Spirit Seed and Returning to Spring Blossom were obviously not enough to turn a fruit into a seed. Otherwise, that would be a huge windfall, and Chen Guang wouldn't be able to remain so calm.

And the Autumn Water is no ordinary spiritual liquid. Although it is only a first-order spiritual item, in terms of its preciousness, it is far superior to some second-order spiritual items.

Looking at the Autumn Water allows the user to see their past life, empathizing with the experience while remaining calm. For cultivators with inner demons and a crumbling Dao heart, the effect of seeing one's true nature and stabilizing one's Dao heart is self-evident.

Of these three spiritual objects, the true root of Thunder Jade and Emerald is actually the most common, but it is still relatively common.

If the conditions for refining the Golden Autumn Pill were actually available, Chen Guang would still hesitate about whether to use up the Three Wonders Fruit and the Autumn Water.

"However, even if Jinqiu Maru doesn't have any need for combat, its mere ability to project divine sense and glimpse the Foundation Establishment realm in advance is of immense value."

Chen Guang developed a great curiosity about Dongfang Hunshan.

The formulas for the Three Wonders Fruit and the Golden Autumn Pill are too amazing. Could it be that there is some kind of extraordinary encounter in Dongfang Hunshan, or that the Dongfang clan is hiding some kind of secret treasure?

Because the example of the Dongfang Lieming siblings is right before our eyes.
