Cultivation begins with harvest.

"Senior sister, as you know, I am just a spirit farmer. My Fiery Heart Grass will not be available until autumn at the earliest, which is another six months. If you can wait, we can talk about it then."

Chen Guangkuan comforted him, but he also had some thoughts in mind. Although he didn't like socializing and was willing to be a quiet spiritual farmer, he could still cultivate some connections.

Spiritual healers can be considered walking encyclopedias of the cultivation world. Their skills are undoubtedly healing, but their profession requires them to be able to diagnose illnesses and provide solutions. They need to read a lot and often need to master all sorts of detailed knowledge about the cultivation world.

Other cultivators might not know this, and it would likely lead to their own demise, but if one doesn't even know about this profession of helping others, then it loses its meaning.

Ying Xiao was the first apprentice of the Spiritual Healer, so he must have received important training. I might have many more opportunities to ask Ying Xiao for help, not necessarily for medical treatment, but perhaps simply to learn some secrets.

Therefore, as long as Ying Xiao's conditions are not too unreasonable, Chen Guang is willing to suffer some losses and help him out.

Human relationships are like a stove and fire; you can't expect the fire to burn brightly if you try to do it at the last minute. The earlier you start, the hotter the stove will be.

Ying Xiao thought about it seriously, but still looked troubled: "It is indeed a bit rushed. I need to cultivate a skill, which requires extracting specific energy. Waiting until the end of autumn seems to be too long."

"That's fine. If you have any ideas, you can come to me anytime. My branch is..." Chen Guang wasn't surprised. Sometimes things don't just happen to be exactly what you want. It's better to plant a seed first and see if it sprouts later.

Only then did Chen Guang have a chance to exchange a few pleasantries with Ying Xiao, but Ying Xiao seemed to be in a hurry, and Chen Guang didn't get to say more than a few words before Ying Xiao left in a rush.

But as soon as he turned around, Chen Guang was dumbfounded.

What day is it today? Why are they all rushing around in front of me?

Even mortals are sensitive to gazes and can sense when others are looking at them. The fat-faced cultivator who was being looked at by Chen Guang also seemed to sense it. He looked over and, after realizing it was Chen Guang, grinned and approached.

"Fellow Daoist's ancient method is truly effective; this belongs to you." The chubby-faced cultivator deftly produced two seeds that had been eroded beyond recognition by the water—seeds of the Spider Silk Treasure Vase Wood. "But it only delays their decay. Is there any way to truly reverse their impending doom?"

Chen Guang naturally accepted the two Spider Silk Treasure Bottle Wood seeds. According to the contract, he could only receive a maximum of three seeds. The fact that he was given two meant that his method was quite effective. While checking whether the two seeds still had enough vitality, he shook his head and said, "Senior brother, you should know that I was lucky to obtain this incomplete ancient method."

"That's true. Meeting you here today saves me the trouble of searching again." The fat-faced cultivator didn't show any disappointment, which surprised Chen Guang. Did the fat-faced cultivator find some other method?

Perhaps the medicine was added in advance, or perhaps some of the spiritual energy was transferred and absorbed?

It's unlikely that Zhu Chizi will mature. With such a spiritual root of heaven and earth, without the right methods, even a slight movement will have irreversible consequences.

After a few simple greetings, the chubby-faced monk hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.

Encountering two familiar but unfamiliar cultivators in succession piqued Chen Guang's interest again. He deliberately wandered around the market for a while, but after finding nothing, he returned to his courtyard with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

All that remained was to wait. In the process of waiting, he continuously deduced and considered the balance between fire-attribute spiritual plants, Zhan Yang flowers, and the land of supreme yang. He even used Xi Feng spiritual tea to enhance his deductive abilities. The Daoist of the Scripture Pavilion had already launched a comprehensive plan, but that was in general terms. Chen Guang himself still needed to refine the specific implementation details.

Two days later, the first batch of resources arrived, all of which were resources from the Land of Supreme Yang. While Chen Guang was excited, he was also a little uneasy.

This is the resource needed for three years. Otherwise, maintaining the land of supreme yang for only one year would be too costly. After three years, the land of supreme yang will become more stable, and the remaining resources will be at a much lower level than they are now, which Chen Guang can afford. These consequences are naturally being taken into consideration.

But with so many resources at stake, the losses would be unbearable even for ourselves if we failed.

An investment of over 200,000 yuan is Chen Guang's largest investment to date. Is it just for Zhan Yang Hua?

Not entirely. The most well-known use of the Zhan Yang Flower is to enhance the abilities of spirit beasts, but it also has other uses. Growing in extremely yang places, the Zhan Yang Flower can extract some [pure yang energy]. The amount is not large, but pure yang energy has the effect of revitalizing the physical body, slightly increasing lifespan, and making the perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth clearer. It is a rare and highly sought-after spiritual item.

Simply imitating the land of supreme yang makes it difficult to condense pure yang energy. Even if it were possible, it would be like squeezing out all the spiritual energy that constitutes the resources of the land of supreme yang in one go, and only a small amount of pure yang energy would be obtained, which would be difficult to satisfy one's needs. The pure yang energy that can be extracted from 200,000 grains of primordial spirit can only be used to extend one's lifespan by a few months. Its greater use is to help one comprehend the Dao.

It is worth mentioning that the limit of lifespan extension by pure Yang Qi is only a single digit, and the specific number varies from person to person. For some people with special constitutions or special experiences, the effect may also vary.

However, as long as a suitable spiritual plant is planted, not only will the amount of pure yang energy obtained be abundant, but it can also be produced continuously.

This is the wonder of the laws of heaven and earth. As long as there are suitable spiritual plants, not only will they not consume much of other spiritual objects, but they can also nurture a greater amount of pure yang energy. The mysteries of creation within are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

One of the goals is to cultivate the Zhan Yang Flower. If the land of supreme Yang is successfully cultivated, Chen Guang also plans to find a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth, the Golden Feather Gardenia, to cultivate. When he helped the fat-faced cultivator sense the Zhu Chizi, he obtained some methods for migrating the Zhu Chizi. Among the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth that can be migrated using this method, there are four types, including the Golden Feather Gardenia.

It wasn't that Chen Guang didn't want the other two types, but rather that obtaining a spiritual root of heaven and earth was a matter of luck. Whether it was Zhu Chizi or Jin Yu Zhi Zi, both required a great deal of luck. The reason Chen Guang chose Jin Yu Zhi Zi was because there had been stories of discovering Jin Yu Zhi Zi more than once in Huo Xu Cave. Naturally, he had to consider this most likely spiritual plant of heaven and earth. Even so, it was still an unrealistic idea. His primary goal now was still Zhan Yang Hua and Pure Yang Qi.

"First, plant Firebell, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and Watercress. Combine these three with Lung Stone and Scarlet Fertilizer powder... This will create a clean, hot but not water-scarce environment. However, it will completely deactivate the Purple Spirit Soil, requiring regular and measured watering with Carboxylic Acid Liquid. Carboxylic Acid Liquid is also an essential resource for the future."

The land of supreme yang will not be formed overnight, but will be arranged as some of the spiritual plants grow, and will finally take shape in the summer. This process will also make it easier for Chen Guang to take care of the spiritual plants and optimize some details.

Upon careful observation, Chen Guang discovered that the Taoist's plan in the Scripture Pavilion actually had a faint trace of the Qiankun Formation, which allowed spiritual plants and objects to naturally form a space where spiritual energy was confined to a fixed location in a place of extreme yang. Wasn't this the prototype of the Qiankun Formation borrowing the power of nature?

His opinion of the Taoist priest in the Sutra Repository rose even higher.

The fact that the other party is able to guard the Sutra Repository shows that they must have something special about them.

……

Deep within the Xiantang Hall, in a nearly dark room, a newly issued official gazette was presented.

In the darkness, a faint light suddenly appeared, revealing three cultivators sitting around a table, each emanating an extremely restrained yet profoundly powerful aura that was difficult to suppress.

They were none other than three Daoist masters at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Three copies of the official gazette were delivered to each of the Taoist priests. One of them said leisurely, "Watching these little ones grow up here really makes one feel comfortable from the bottom of one's heart."

"Chen Guang? It seems this little guy has been concealing the scale of the inheritance he received. To be able to produce such a wealth of techniques, his fortune is already top-notch."

"He was afraid before, but now he relies on it. The status of Qingheng Sect in his mind is still rising, so it is not impossible for him to cultivate it."

"Come on, write a brief review. If other Taoists come asking for detailed accounts of your experiences, it will still have to be a brief review."

The other two Taoists present nodded and began to seriously consider how to evaluate and express the true meaning while omitting some eye-catching content—such as the extraordinary wealth revealed by Chen Guang's disciple.

The Xingfeng Hall only records the superficial experiences that disciples have seen. Based on the abilities of Qi Refining cultivators, it records whatever can be found on the surface. Information obtained through unconventional means is often not recorded here. Even trusted halls like the Punishment Hall are generally unaware that the sect has more secretive intelligence gathering activities. The records of the Xingfeng Hall are what most Qingheng Sect disciples can see, including Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The truly authentic experiences hidden deep within are encrypted and personally completed by the Taoist priests of Xiantang. Moreover, accessing them later requires extremely high authority. Most of what we see are brief reports polished by the Taoist priests of Xiantang, which are evaluations of a disciple's true situation and life summaries that do not arouse emotions such as greed or anger. They are authentic enough, but they are also veiled.

Not all disciples' experiences are qualified to be sent here. Only a group of cultivators who are considered to have great potential and good fortune have this opportunity. The experiences of the vast majority of disciples are completed in the ordinary pavilion of the Sage Hall. They are also reported in the same way, but the level of importance attached to them cannot be generalized.

This is the deepest part of the Sage Hall, the place closest to the spirits of the sages. The cultivators who are still unharmed here are the most selfless cultivators that the Qingheng Sect has a consensus on and that have been proven by all conceivable cultivation methods. Even the sect leader or a Golden Core cultivator has no right to order the cultivators here to tamper with even a single word of evaluation or reveal a single word of their true experiences.

Only those who meet the requirements are eligible to view the sealed directory files here.

Unknown to others, yet still diligently and conscientiously doing their own thing.

It was silent, yet it made a sound when it landed.
