Cultivation begins with harvest.

Chapter 160 Five Types of Spiritual Plants

Although it's called a narrow path, seven or eight people can walk side by side without any problem.

As I walked up the mountain along the path, I couldn't help but have a sudden realization. Some problems that had been bothering me or some vague inspirations suddenly became clear. Many thoughts became clear and intuitive.

Even before actually stepping onto the pulpit, I had already felt some benefits; my thoughts were clear and my mind was racing.

This is simply a perfect place to comprehend cultivation techniques and practice magic!

Chen Guang didn't care about anything else. He found a stone platform by the roadside and walked up to it. He quietly found a corner to sort out the many thoughts in his mind. Chen Guang was not the only one like this. Most of them were cultivators who came here for the first time.

Half an hour passed in this way. When they came to their senses, they felt that they had gained a lot, but the passing cultivators hardly paid any attention to them.

"This enlightenment, which I've achieved over the past four years since I reached the first level of Qi Refining, is the result of my accumulated experience. If I came here frequently without much accumulation and contemplation, I probably wouldn't have this effect."

Otherwise, relying solely on imagination, no matter how rich the imagination, will not yield even a moment's worth of results.

The key is to accumulate knowledge and skills over time.

Leaving the stone platform, Chen Guang continued up the mountain path. The steps became wider and wider, and the two mountains in front of him seemed to have been parted. A huge square, which could be seen to the end but was somewhat blurry, appeared in front of him. Apart from being flat and vast, it had almost no other features.

too big!

It can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people while maintaining social distancing.

However, there weren't many cultivators in the square at the moment. Everyone went to a stone wall in the square, took a look, and then left. Chen Guang also followed the flow of people to the stone wall. He couldn't help but reveal a complicated smile after just one look.

The stone wall is marked with dates from top to bottom.

On the seventh day, he preached: "The acupoints are connected."

On the thirteenth, a sermon was given on the fundamentals of magic.

On the 19th, he preached on the improvement of the practice.

……

On the 29th, he preached on the use of defensive spells.

"Isn't this the timetable?"

Seeing this familiar scene was both unexpected and reasonable. Only in this way could the Tongchuanya function efficiently. It would prevent disciples from coming to see it all the time but not being able to catch the sermon, or if they did, it wouldn't be the course they needed.

We can't just let a Taoist priest waste a whole day and night here, can we?

Such an invention is perfectly normal, Chen Guang thought. If most of them weren't outer disciples, Qingheng Sect would probably use spiritual artifacts and formations to take more convenient measures. It's not impossible that a person could know the situation here from a hundred miles away.

The next sermon was on the 7th, and today was only the third day of the month. There were still four days left. Chen Guang was a little disappointed, but he could only head to the other two places.

This is the second treasure of Tongchuan Cliff: the Taoist preaching. In addition, the cultivation insights of the Golden Elixir Master are considered another treasure. The other four treasures are distributed on the other two mountain paths.

Chen Guang is not planning to go to Ghost Ape Ridge for the time being, as the requirements for movement skills are actually very high there.

Ghost Ape Ridge is a cliff with almost no footholds. The shape of the mountain is like a row of cleanly shaved ribs. Only on the protruding parts of the mountain are there one or two strange spiritual plants that can serve as footholds.

The agile and swift spirit beast, known as the Ghost Ape, inhabits this mountain range. It considers all the spiritual plants, fruits, and flowers as its own. As soon as they show signs of ripening, it will immediately pick them. Only by catching up with the Ghost Ape and subduing it in this environment can the cultivator obtain the harvest of ripe spiritual plants in exchange for its release.

These spirit beasts are said to be raised by a Taoist priest from Purple Spirit Peak, or even a high-ranking one. They will not harm people, but at the same time, cultivators cannot truly harm these ghost apes.

Once a flying artifact is used, one will be expelled; therefore, all methods are based on movement techniques.

After all, it is a spirit beast with extremely high intelligence. It has played such a role very well. This is the fourth treasure. The spirit plants that grow in this environment are of the highest quality in terms of both medicinal age and rarity. As long as you can catch up with the ghost ape, you can get them. Naturally, the requirements for cultivators are also ridiculously high. Chen Guang himself is not confident. If he falls off the cliff, he will not die, but he will fall into the Misty Valley below. It usually takes two or three months to get out.

Such a long period of time is unacceptable to cultivators from any sect, so naturally very few cultivators challenge the Ghost Ape; those who do are either extremely powerful or want to show off their abilities.

There is another treasure in Ghost Ape Ridge. Legend has it that as long as you can overcome all the obstacles of Ghost Ape Ridge and meet the Ghost Ape King, you will receive unimaginable rewards. However, in the past hundred years, very few people have been able to do so, and no one knows what kind of treasure is hidden there.

Sure enough, there were quite a few cultivators heading to the lecture platform, most of them to confirm the lecture times and content for the month. The lectures were concentrated in the latter half of the month, and Chen Guang had some doubts about the effectiveness of the lecture platform when he thought that there might be tens of thousands of cultivators listening to the lectures at the same time. On the other hand, there was almost no one in the direction of Ghost Ape Ridge. Most of the cultivators went straight to Baowu Lake after coming down from the lecture platform.

The other two mountain paths lead upwards, but the one leading to Baowu Lake leads downwards. After a turn, you can overlook Baowu Lake. What first catches your eye is not the lake itself, but a forest of five colors spread out evenly. A strange intertwined power of the five elements makes Chen Guang feel as if his magical power is being suppressed. In the very center is Baowu Lake, a pale blue lake with purple mist floating around it.

This is the sixth treasure.

Chen Guang descended the steps and was greeted by a grove of palm trees with leaves as smooth as water. The fallen leaves turned the grove into a marshland, and walking through it would noticeably enhance and restore one's magical power.

This is the [Shengze Palm]. Its fruit has the effect of rapidly restoring mana, and it is a commonly used main ingredient in high-quality mana-restoring pills. This spiritual plant also has the special property that the more it grows together, the better the effect of its fruit and the higher the fruiting frequency. Not only the Shengze Palm, but the other four types of five elemental spiritual plants have similar characteristics. The quality of the fruit here far exceeds that of the same-named fruit in the outside world.

This is a top-grade first-tier plant. The difficulty of cultivating such a spiritual plant is extremely high. Although it is not as good as Thunder Jade or Emerald, the difference is not too great. Only sects have the strength to cultivate it on such a large scale.

The closer you get to Baowu Lake, the better the effect. The fruits of the Five Elements Spiritual Plants near Baowu Lake are all at least the level of a hundred-year-old spiritual medicine, so everyone covets them, but obtaining them is not easy.

Each of the five elemental spiritual plants is shrouded in an array and protected by specific restrictions. The closer to the center of the lake, the stronger and more difficult the restrictions become to break. However, once broken, one can harvest up to three fruits from the corresponding spiritual plant. A cultivator can only harvest fruits from the same spiritual plant within a year.

You can break the seal but not pick it. Once you pick even one, even if you break the seal of a higher-level spiritual plant, you can no longer pick it.

The formation records the identity of every Qingheng Sect disciple who enters here, shattering the delusions of some cultivators who wanted to take shortcuts. As soon as he entered, Chen Guang felt a slight warmth from his identity token.

"The water-attribute *Shengze Palm* restores magical power; the fire-attribute *Golden Red Eucalyptus* heals physical injuries; the metal-attribute *Golden Sword Leaf Bodhi* possesses the spiritual effect of breaking magical restrictions, illusions, and even some contracts; the wood-attribute *Fallen Willow*, when taken with other elixirs, can enhance their medicinal power by about 30%; and the earth-attribute *Birch* can restore a person's essence, energy, and spirit. These five spiritual plants are all treasures."

Most cultivators choose the appropriate spiritual plant based on their own circumstances. According to Chen Guang's intelligence, these five spiritual plants can be arranged in the order of Falling Willow, Golden Red Eucalyptus, Shengze Palm, Birch, and Golden Sword Leaf Bodhi, according to the intensity of competition. Choosing one with less intense competition to break the restriction might not be a bad choice.

Even for the most peripheral Five Elements spiritual plants, breaking the restrictions requires the level of being among the top 1,000 in the Five Elements Small Competition every five years. The most central ones require reaching the level of comprehending the Dao. The difficulty is extremely high. Therefore, even though there are 3,000 of each of the Five Elements spiritual plants here, there are almost no fruits of these spiritual plants circulating in the market. They are simply too difficult to obtain. Each of the 3,000 spiritual plants is laden with fruit, making people's mouths water.

Therefore, Chen Guang simply observed and moved forward, realizing that he was not yet qualified to touch such a spiritual object.

The last of the Seven Treasures of Tongchuan Cliff, and one of the few treasures that can be accessed at this stage, is located in the very center of Treasure Lake.
