Cultivation begins with harvest.

Instead of immediately using the Rejuvenating Spring Flower to refine the transplanted roots of the Zhan Yang Flower, I first went to the Black Thistle Soil Spirit Field.

See if Lei Yu and Jadeite have been affected. With Zi Hua Qing Yin and Tuan Xuan Qing Xuan corroborating each other, Chen Guang's understanding of various changes in Qi has become more profound. The heat of the past has completely disappeared today. It is impossible to say that there was no impact at all. It is like two people pushing each other with force. If one of them suddenly pulls back, there will naturally be some changes.

Chen Guang had set up a spiritual energy array as a protective barrier beforehand, but some tiny dewdrops still appeared on the Azure Cloud Wood and Thunder Jade. The sun was directly overhead, and it was the middle of summer; it couldn't even kill two drops of dew. This was not a good omen.

This indicates that, led by Lei Yu and Fei Cui, this group of spiritual plants is still "fighting" against the land of extreme yang.

The changes in spiritual plants tend to be instinctive, often resulting in overreactions and an inability to keep up with the changes.

Chen Guang intervened in time, using the interaction between earth and wood as a means of perception and releasing the essence of plants and trees as a guide, to soothe Lei Yu and Emerald and calm them down quickly. In the short term, such a confrontation would not have much impact. In order to reduce the pressure on Gu Shu, it would be better to end this confrontation in advance and reduce it as much as possible.

It can also help stabilize the Lei jadeite itself.

After a flurry of activity, Dongfang Lieming appeared at the edge of the field.

She lived right next to Chen Guang, not too far away across some spirit fields. She would often come over to visit, and Chen Guang was happy to oblige. This girl genuinely loved tending to flowers and plants; she had taken over the care of Yue Nishang, who hadn't been properly tended to in the courtyard, and the spirit plants in the fire array flowerpots.

She used it as practice, and Chen Guang was happy to give her pointers.

Dongfang Lieming marveled at the land of supreme yang energy. Such a unique place, which could be called a spiritual land, naturally commanded high regard.

Dongfang Lieming quickly slipped away, knowing that Chen Guang must have many things to deal with. This was an old trick he had learned from frequently coming over to check on things. The other spirit farmers had long since mastered this skill, and even if they were very curious about the Land of Extreme Yang, they would not immediately come over to disturb Chen Guang at this time.

In this land of supreme yang, Chen Guang held his breath and meditated to regulate his breathing. After a long while, he took out various materials, set up an array, and took out a wooden box to retrieve the Zhan Yang Flower.

Like a shy chrysanthemum, its golden petals seem to be burning themselves out, releasing intense light and heat.

From the outside, such an action would undoubtedly cause Zhan Yang Hua to lose a lot of spiritual energy, but this is a place of extreme yang, like ice being poured into cold water, so even if it dissipates, it will be very slow.

As the array lit up, the light and heat of the Zhan Yang flower seemed to intensify.

The essence of the plants was rapidly consumed, and the blue silk threads extended from the left hand and wrapped around the Zhan Yang flower. The Zhan Yang flower's intense color, like the sun, quickly dimmed, and it curled inward into a ball.

"Buzz"

With a tremor, all the green hairs formed by the Returning Spring Blossoms gently broke off from their roots, fluttering in the air and turning into specks of green light that flashed two or three times before extinguishing. The dim and incomparably beautiful Zhan Yang Flower also opened up naturally, like peeling garlic, leaving only a golden stem radiating vitality and energy.

After a long period of practice, Chen Guang of Fanmu Chunhua had become quite proficient, so his success on the first try was to be expected.

【Zhanyang Flower (cuttings)】.

Chen Guang smiled slightly, focused his mind, sensed it for a while, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did he carefully plant it.

The Zhan Yang Flower is to the land of extreme Yang what weeds are to the roadside. It is actually a common spiritual plant in the land of extreme Yang. The difficulty lies in the land of extreme Yang. Under normal circumstances, even if there are seeds, it is difficult for them to grow and survive in the land of extreme Yang that is artificially constructed. However, Fan Mu Chun Hua took a trick and obtained not ordinary seeds, but special cuttings that can ignore some seasonality, limited growth cycle and environmental requirements.

After a moment of rest, Chen Guang followed the same method and obtained a second Zhan Yang flower, which he then planted.

But how to expand the scale of the Zhan Yang flower is another problem.

How to overcome the seed problem of Lithocarpus lanceolata?

Looking for a complete *Cephalotaxus fortunei* plant?

None of them are simple.

Planting only two Zhan Yang flowers in this extremely yang land is too extravagant. Chen Guang had already prepared another spiritual plant that is very suitable for extremely yang land - [Changliang Qingqiu Wood].

Chen Guang took out a seedling that was curled up together, with many leaves that were all connected, and finally planted it.

Spiritual plants that require extremely yang energy to grow, especially first-tier spiritual plants, often do not require any additional conditions; the requirement of an extremely yang energy location is sufficient.

The Nagara Green Dragon Tree can survive in ordinary environments. After it matures, a sunken tree hole will form in the center of the crown, and a rather special "evergreen sap" will form in the tree hole.

This is also a kind of spiritual liquid.

In normal environments, the sap of evergreen trees can extend the lifespan of spiritual plants by one year. This specifically refers to annual spiritual plants, allowing them to survive and grow for another year. This not only saves some trouble of re-cultivating spiritual fields, but also allows these life-extended spiritual plants to be somewhat unaffected by environmental seasons. If it is rice, it may ripen two or three times again in the following year; if it is melons or fruits, their size will be 30-40% larger than normal.

To some extent, it is a more effective spiritual substance than Xixu Earth, but it is difficult to use on a large scale. The amount of evergreen sap produced by a single Changliang Qingqiu Wood in a year can only be used on a few spiritual plants, and it also has the side effect of reducing quality.

The evergreen sap from the land of pure Yang has a wider range of uses, and although it is produced in smaller quantities, it can enrich the spiritual energy within spiritual plants, improving their quality and yield, and eliminating those side effects.

Chen Guang's plan was to use it on spiritual plants such as Xuanwen Bamboo and Thunder Jade Emerald. If it weren't only effective on first-tier spiritual plants, Huang Cheng could also consider it.

One Changliang Green Dragon Tree seed is enough. The amount of pure Yang energy a single spiritual tree can absorb is not small. Just because it is a seedling now and has a small appetite doesn't mean it can be reckless. Its future size and the amount of pure Yang energy it can absorb are things that need to be considered. Chen Guang only plans to use it on a few special spiritual plants, so there is no need for too many.

After finishing his business in the land of supreme yang, Chen Guang entered the ice mist array.

The Concentration Flower and some Frost Grass are replanted; the former is needed for cultivation, while the latter can obtain the Ice Source Cold Qi. In order not to disrupt the atmosphere within the Ice Mist Array, only a small portion can be replanted each year.

"The ice-cold Luzon has grown much thicker, but it still needs a lot of work to develop."

Even with the help of Frostweed, Ice Pine estimated that it would take more than four years to mature, and that was only because White Mist Duckweed made the Ice Mist Array even more effective.

The number of blue-blooded mosquitoes has also increased. Two thousand-needle wrens need to patrol once a day. Blue-blooded mosquitoes grow extremely fast. If they are not detected within three days, they may break away from the Ice Pine and harm the spirit plant. Therefore, Chen Guang directly increased the frequency to make the blue-blooded mosquitoes nowhere to hide.

But today's purpose is to feed the Ice Armored Turtles. After feeding them nourishing animal food for almost two quarters, the two Ice Armored Turtles are now only a size smaller than a washbasin. Their backs have become hexagonal protrusions, the ridges on their heads look somewhat ferocious, and their skin and flesh have a kind of old keratin that has grown for many years.

Ice-shelled turtles, which take six years to mature, can reach adulthood in just over three years with the help of nourishing animal food. If nourishing animal food is used from the beginning, ice-shelled turtles can mature directly in about a year.

Today, the two ice turtles kept a distance from each other, seemingly uninterested in interacting. Chen Guang had seen this scene many times before. It was a completely different way of getting along than a few months ago, but he wasn't worried at all. He had provided the ice turtles with a suitable environment before they matured, and they had already completed the conception process. After that, there was no need for them to mate. The female turtle could lay eggs on her own over several decades.

Ice-armored turtles naturally have a low reproductive drive, and many cultivators only use aphrodisiacs to force them to reproduce. This indirectly increases their value slightly. However, for the Life Spirit Hall and cultivators who have long kept such spirit beasts, this is just a hidden characteristic that they are aware of. It's just that the ice-armored turtle itself is not particularly outstanding, so not many people care about it, which makes it seem secretive. If it were a popular spirit beast, like the Thousand-Needled Wren, even someone like Dongfang Lieming, who had never seen one before, could clearly understand its habits.

For Chen Guang, the maturity of the Ice Armor Turtle means that he can produce some spirit beast blood himself, reducing the consumption of blood-sucking He Shou Wu. Its blood is also more mellow and has better effects.

Secondly, once the Ice-shelled Turtles have bred to a certain number, their meat can be sold to inns and their shells to the Flame Hall, thus generating a profit.

The nourishing beast food, apart from making the Ice Armor Turtle a little less intelligent due to its rapid growth and lower level of spell mastery, has no other side effects. Since it's not a combat spirit beast, such side effects are practically nonexistent.

Just as Chen Guang was about to leave, two orbs of light suddenly emerged from the Ice Armor Turtle's body, a few days earlier than he had expected. But it was time for them to mature, so he immediately put the two orbs away.

"One Ice-Armored Turtle (Excellent) was captured, and six copies of the spell [Ice Armor] were obtained."

"One Ice-Armored Turtle (Excellent) was captured, and six portions of the elixir [Ice Breath Pill] were obtained."

Ice Armor Technique and Mirror Refraction Technique are the innate spells of the Ice Armor Turtle. Using them together creates an amazing defensive effect, so the reward is to be expected. As for the Ice Breath Pill, although he had never heard of it, Chen Guang didn't pay much attention to it after carefully reading through its effects. It is a pill for suppressing injuries, similar to how Chao Shui Jiang suppresses poison. This kind of pill for suppressing injuries is in high demand in the Qi Hall, but there are too few of them at the moment, and there is no formula. So he can only put it aside for now and wait for the right time.
