Cultivation begins with harvest.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Guang released a green flame. The effortless and casual gesture, along with the exquisite control he displayed, surprised the three of them once again. The flame perfectly covered the bottom of the teapot. Water was poured in, and it boiled in no time. Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, Chen Guang placed four or five tea leaves into the teacups in front of each person, poured in water, and the yellowish-green tea leaves immediately turned a tender green, the aroma of the tea became lighter, but the tea water became even clearer, as if there were no impurities, with only a very faint green color in it.

Once the tea leaves are processed, they are effective even when chewed dry. Brewing them with boiling water or boiling them in a pot can also be considered a ritualistic process.

Some teas, when combined with specific elixirs, can further enhance their effects.

Cao Fang was initially very impatient, but once the tea was in hand, she quietly began to appreciate the cup of Dingzhen tea.

Wan Longjing was the first to pick up his teacup, gulping it down like a cow. With a "thump," most of the tea was gone, instantly calming his mind, and the faint aroma of tea lingered in his mouth.

Dingzhen tea has the effect of calming a restless mind and slightly refining the spirit. The former is easy to feel, while the latter effect is too slight, and no specific changes can be felt after a single consumption.

Dongfang Lieming then carefully picked up the teacup and began to sip the tea.

Chen Guang also picked up his teacup and began to savor the tea.

While others focus on the taste and effects, Chen Guang, as the tea maker, is more concerned about unsatisfactory aspects, such as the remaining spiritual energy in the tea leaves that has not been released, or the amount of spiritual energy remaining in the tea water that is lower than expected...

The blandness of the flavor came later.

The hard work of making tea is not for showing off skills, but for releasing inspiration more fully. However, the tea I make now shows shortcomings in this regard and there is still room for improvement. Currently, my Dingzhen tea even requires chewing the tea leaves to make full use of them.

Spirit tea is not so inconvenient!

Wan Longjing, on the other hand, casually chewed on tea leaves, fully absorbing all the inspiration before comfortably squinting his eyes, leaning back in his chair, and humming a little tune, quite enjoying himself.

Some of the characteristics of the spiritual tea are still highlighted. It is made from green leaves picked directly from the tree, but chewing it will only release less than one percent of the spiritual energy.

"It may not be as good as the tea at the Sutra Pavilion Inn, but to have a cup like this—" Cao Fang beamed, "is so comforting!"

"Would you like another cup?" The first batch was only a small amount, about two more cups per person would be enough. Chen Guang wasn't particularly bothered by it. The main function of Dingzhen Tea now was to calm his tired and restless spirit after visualizing the Qingyue Diagram, but this amount couldn't keep up with his cultivation pace, so he didn't need to be stingy with it.

"Forget it, Dingzhen Tea is only effective after cultivation. Using it to satisfy your taste buds is too extravagant, isn't it, Junior Brother Chen?" Cao Fang flatly refused.

"I can still have a few cups of tea. Since this is my first time making tea, please taste it and offer your criticism. It will only benefit me. I will make some improvements next month and then I will invite you again," Chen Guang agreed. "Now, please tell me your specific impressions so I can have a better understanding."

Wan Longjing and the others then took it seriously and shared their feelings one by one. Chen Guang made comparisons and had a better understanding of which aspects of tea making had not been done well.

While enjoying the tea with a clear conscience, they also began to exchange their spiritual practice experiences.

Even though Wan Longjing was working in the office, he had a lot of insight into the cultivation of spiritual plants through his surroundings. After all, he was a spiritual farmer, and it was inevitable that this topic would come up.

Until the tea party ended, Dongfang Lieming's mouth never closed. Although she rarely spoke, she felt she had benefited a lot just by listening. She also tasted several cups of Dingzhen tea. At this moment, her mind was as still as water, and she was able to enter a meditative state more easily than usual. Furthermore, even if Dingzhen tea only had a slight effect on condensing the soul, it was still better than nothing.

They made a fortune.

With this in mind, Dongfang Lieming couldn't have been more excited about the next tea party.

……

Before we knew it, the sun was blazing hot.

Lu Daxian had just returned from the market and was walking back to his courtyard. At times like this, he couldn't help but envy those cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi Refining who could obtain flying artifacts to travel, making countless things easier and less troublesome. They didn't have to rely on the spirit cranes of the branch buildings like he did. Although Lu Daxian's economic conditions had improved after converting some spirit fields into paddy fields, he was still not exactly well-off. His own magical power reserves did not allow him to purchase flying artifacts.

Life is still tough.

The couple needs to cultivate themselves; this is fundamental. Otherwise, let alone providing their younger brother with cultivation resources or accumulating some foundation for their son's future, they would be kicked out of the Qingheng Sect first.

"Huh? The weather's changed?"

Lu Da couldn't help but look up and see only a few small, thin white clouds that didn't seem to cover the sky. It used to be incredibly hot here.

Lu Da first looked at the center of the spirit field. In the very center, five white and red stone pillars, each four zhang tall and requiring one person to encircle, rose from the ground. In the very center, there were strands of transparent golden light rotating. Even from a great distance, one could feel that extremely pure yet tranquil yang energy.

The usual sweltering heat is completely gone today.

"He actually made it a place of supreme yang energy."

Lu Da looked at the figure in the center of the pillar with envy.

……

Chen Guang watched the scene before him with a smug look. He reached out and flicked his hand, and a golden halo shattered like water droplets, only to quickly recombine. An aura that made Chen Guang feel so comfortable that he almost fell asleep formed in this three-zhang-wide area.

Outside, the summer sun blazes down, but inside it's warm but not hot, spacious but not stuffy, with only a few bright, slightly dazzling lights.

Using the Fire Phoenix Feather Stone as a base and adding some spiritual materials, after a short while, these five pillars of fire naturally formed, calming dryness and clearing heat. Only then did the land of blazing sun truly become the land of ultimate yang.

If some spiritual plants are planted in the most yang place at this moment, their flowering and fruiting process will be greatly accelerated, and their final size will exceed that of spiritual plants in other areas.

This is the land of ultimate yang, and the nature of yang has a promoting and enhancing effect on all living beings. Even Chen Guang, who cultivates here, especially in combat techniques, will see a significant improvement.

"The current pure yang energy is not strong enough to support my cultivation. It will drain the fire-attribute spiritual flowers outside. When the pure yang energy is sufficient, it will be filled with spiritual plants, and there will be no space left to cultivate combat techniques."

He didn't feel it was a pity, as he didn't lack the benefit of cultivation improvement. The most urgent task was to plant the Zhan Yang flower as soon as possible.

Looking around, Chen Guang greeted Lu Da by the roadside from afar before starting to check for any oversights. Although the land of extreme yang had been formed, he still couldn't lose his vigilance. Perhaps it was just the right time for it to operate, and if some mistakes weren't discovered in time, it might naturally collapse in an hour or two.

Chen Guang was increasingly satisfied with what he saw. The fire-attribute spiritual plants continuously provided the intense heat of the sun, which was transformed into pure yang energy by the three-zhang-high yang land. As long as he continued to supply the key resources, this would be a virtuous cycle, leading to prosperity.

The two thousand-needle wrens were also excitedly and greedily flying around in this small area. If it weren't for Chen Guang's order, they would have already been unable to resist absorbing the pure yang energy. Now, they could only excitedly flap their wings to express their love.
