Cultivation begins with harvest.

With spring planting approaching, everything else is fine, and even the Spider Silk Vasewood has been planted. Only the Thunder Jade Emerald needs some processing.

It must be said that Dongfang Hunshan's handling was quite good. It allowed Chen Guang to stop planting the Thunder Jade Emerald now. The method of sealing the plant was also a sophisticated secret technique somewhat similar to spiritual plant cultivation. This allowed the spiritual plant to maintain its activity and health for a long time after being stored away. Furthermore, it had the potential to be cultivated into a spiritual plant cultivation technique. Although it could not keep a spiritual creature like Zhu Chizi completely healthy after being transplanted, it was not as bad as the fat-faced cultivator.

Unfortunately, Dongfang Hunshan may have such connections, or more likely he has mastered such a secret technique, but he did not leave it in the storage artifact, not even the most basic spell. This is normal, but the more so, the more curious Chen Guang becomes about Dongfang Hunshan.

The deeper you delve into this secret technique with the potential to cultivate spiritual plants, the more extraordinary Dongfang Hunshan becomes.

To plant Thunder Jade Emerald, you need to plant White Flower Spring Grass and Azure Cloud Tree first. White Flower Spring Grass provides rainwater, and Azure Cloud Tree can not only reduce the rainy season required for Thunder Jade Emerald, but also provide a support for it. Thunder Jade Emerald is ultimately just a grapevine that needs to climb. Other spiritual plants may not be suitable, but Azure Cloud Tree can withstand lightning strikes and rain.

The Azure Cloud Tree is a fairly normal spiritual plant. It doesn't need much care or any additional spiritual objects to assist it. As long as the environment isn't too bad and there's enough spiritual energy, it can function and grow normally. However, it doesn't produce anything particularly useful to cultivators.

Most spiritual plants are like this: few are selected for use by cultivators. The same type of spiritual plant is extremely precious in the hands of cultivators, but wild spiritual plants can live just as well. Take the fire peach tree as an example: a wild fire peach tree may only barely meet the conditions for survival, and does not need to meet the various requirements such as temperature when it is planted, yet it can grow extremely strong. However, the same wild fire peach tree may never flower or bear fruit until it dies of old age.

There are many spiritual plants that can grow wildly without any care, but that doesn't guarantee they will produce a harvest.

The fact that Azure Cloud Wood doesn't need these things doesn't mean that external objects are completely useless to it. However, to collect Azure Clouds in the high sky, you need to go to the "Nine Luminaries Heaven" after breaking through the sky.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would find it difficult to fly into the lowest level, "Southern Heaven." Azure Clouds exist in the fourth level of the Nine Luminaries Heaven, "Year Heaven." Although it is said that Azure Clouds are as common as dust in the Year Heaven, readily available and plentiful, even Foundation Establishment cultivators can only obtain them by waiting for high-ranking and virtuous cultivators to bring back these "special products" when they enter the Nine Luminaries Heaven.

Alternatively, planting certain celestial spirit plants that can draw upon the power of the nine heavens' stars may allow one to indirectly obtain Azure Clouds through indirect methods, but the yield is very low. This is similar to Chen Guang's method of collecting the spiritual liquid of flower spirit energy from Hidden Peonies and then condensing it into flower spirit energy.

If one is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there is another option: at dawn, one can go to the high sky and, if lucky, may be able to collect the Azure Clouds that fall from the Heavenly Sky. The book of records that Chen Guang read also vaguely stated that the Azure Clouds that can fall from the Heavenly Sky are only the size of a millstone at high altitudes, but when they are in the Heavenly Sky, they are hundreds of millions of miles thick, and their length and width are dozens of times larger.

These were all things Chen Guang learned when he first had the idea of ​​cultivating the Forest Star Flame. Because the refining method and the extraction of star power were difficult, the more he learned, the less he wanted to cultivate it. However, he took the opportunity to learn a lot of rumors and stories about the stars in the sky, which broadened his horizons.

Although Azure Clouds are incredibly beneficial to Azure Cloud Wood, Chen Guang doesn't share that sentiment. The reason is simple: he still has many other kinds of spiritual plants he craves, and the transformation Azure Cloud Wood undergoes wouldn't necessarily help Thunder Jade or Emerald. He can't extend his affection to everything related to the plant; he simply doesn't have the energy or resources to do such a thing anymore.

"Azure Cloud Wood requires Black Thistle Soil, and Thunder Jade Emerald requires Purple Spirit Soil. The two are interdependent, requiring them to be quite close together. Fortunately, I considered this point early on when contributing the Forest Star Flame Secret Technique and submitted it."

The library provides metal pieces that resemble tangram puzzles. These metal pieces are used to isolate different spiritual soils, so that they will not affect the spiritual soils' absorption of earth energy, and there is no need to worry about mutual interference.

Chen Guang requested juvenile Qingyun trees of different sizes, not mature ones. Two tall Lei Yu Emeralds were not enough, but they had to make do. Qingyun trees grow alongside Lei Yu Emeralds from a young age, which gives them the potential to transform into spirit trees with cloud or wind and thunder attributes under long-term influence.

A Thunder Jade Emerald plant and a Green Cloud Wood plant were planted together in the center of the Black Thistle Earth spirit field, along with a metal spirit tool. The seeds of White Flower Spring Grass had already been sown in the outer half-acre.

Next comes the cultivation of the [Heart-to-Heart Rain Mantra], which can turn dark clouds into rain, light rain into sudden wind, and wind and rain into thunder. Cultivating it is not easy. If Chen Guang had not had the foundation of a god-forging technique and a powerful soul, even just getting to the beginning would be difficult.

Even if one cultivates the Heart-to-Heart Rain Mantra to perfection, it is not guaranteed that one can create wind, rain, and thunder. It only changes the existing conditions. The stronger the change in the weather itself, the smaller the probability of further advancement. This is why Thunder Jade is difficult to grow. It is born from rain and formed by wind and thunder. Without a rainy environment, it cannot even survive.

From this perspective, it's not a good choice for Dongfang Hunshan to dig up these six Lei Yu jade plants. The two thickest Lei Yu jade plants are already over two years old, indicating that their original living environment was sufficient for their growth. It's quite a pity that they were taken away.

From another perspective, Thunder Jade and Emerald are products of Fanglin and must be taken away. Even in the Endless Wilderness, Thunder Jade and Emerald are likely to attract monsters and are not a place to stay for long, so taking them away is not wrong.

"Right now, I need to let these six jade plants adapt to the transplant first, and take good care of them."

The secret method used by Dongfang Hunshan to seal the Thunder Jade Emerald is also very special. After planting, it will slowly unravel over two months. In addition, the seeds of White Flower Spring Grass, which were sown a month in advance, have now sprouted white buds and stems. They will take off in another month, thus preparing the growth environment needed for the Thunder Jade Emerald in advance.

Even if the Thunder Jade Emerald breaks free from its seal ahead of time, there are spells such as Cloud-Drawing Technique and Spirit Rain Technique waiting in the wings, enough to transition to the White Flower Spring Grass blooming and drawing rain.

While waiting for the spring planting season, Chen Guang also began to refine nourishing animal food. There was no need to rush the Thousand Needle Wren. Now his thinking had changed. Making the Thousand Needle Wren grow faster before planting the Zhan Yang Flower would be counterproductive, but the Ice Armor Turtle could. Using nourishing animal food would help the Ice Armor Turtle grow to adulthood quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that the oil from the frozen shrimp was already sufficient for feeding frozen tail shrimp, then the refining of nourishing animal feed could not be delayed any longer.
