Cultivation begins with harvest.

After two years of growth, the Red Lotus finally matured. Its vines above the soil withered one after another, which meant it was ripe. Naturally, Chen Guang dug up the soil and dug them out one by one.

Red ginseng is made up of tubers shaped like fists, with a rough exterior as if covered in a layer of gravel. However, once you hold it, it feels exceptionally light, leaving your hands with red and yellow stains and a strong herbal aroma.

A piece of qualified red ginseng weighs only about half an ounce, but its size is comparable to that of a high-quality blood ginseng. It requires extra care when digging it up. Once the skin is broken, the essence, blood-red, viscous, lumpy fluid inside will flow out completely, and nothing will be left.

The price of one or two taels of Red Ginseng is only comparable to that of Blood Polygonum multiflorum. Given the size of Red Ginseng, the harvest from half an acre is actually less than that from Blood Polygonum multiflorum. However, as the main ingredient for Blood Qi Pill, Chen Guang is still willing to cultivate it.

The three rewards for returning to the Crimson Peak are: 37 Blood Shadow Bee Eggs, 48 ​​Tooth-Patterned Stones, and 48 Diamond Pool Blood Energy.

Blood Shadow Bees are a type of bee that feeds on blood. They are also a species of spirit insect with considerable combat power. The honey they make by collecting blood and feeding on specific flowers, called 【Red Honey】, is one of the precious medicines for body refining. It can make blood carry extremely strong spiritual energy, which will significantly improve both physical explosive power and cultivation speed.

Tooth-patterned stone, a refining material with blood-elemental properties, has the ability to make one refined spiritual object perfectly compatible with another, making it a very attractive material for weapon refiners and array masters.

The final Blood Drill is a blood-attribute spell that can launch a spell that travels along the bloodstream and continuously destroys the target's body. The blood along the way becomes the resource for this spell, making it more powerful. However, its power is quite ordinary against targets without blood.

Unfortunately, it didn't produce any outstanding quality, but this was my first year growing it, so this result was to be expected.

There are 97 Blazing Heart Grass plants, six of which are of exceptional quality. The rewards obtained include 132 Falling Butterfly Charms, 157 Yin Fire Pills, and 220 Cotton Fire Needles.

If so many Fire Needles could be sold all at once, it would be incredibly profitable. Of course, that's impossible in reality. However, with the Heavenly Fire Fusion Crystal Diagram, he can perfectly store any number of Fire Needles. But he can only activate 108 Heavenly Fire Fusion Crystal Diagrams. Activating more than that, such as 360 Heavenly Fire Fusion Crystal Diagrams, requires Qi Refining Perfection. When the Heavenly Fire Fusion Crystal Diagram is needed, the Fire Needles must be taken out in advance.

The most fundamental point is that the Cotton Fire Needle has already illuminated the Encyclopedia of All Things. The Encyclopedia of All Things is equivalent to increasing one's comprehension. If one's comprehension in this area is zero, the Encyclopedia of All Things will not be of any help. However, if one has comprehension in this area, then the understanding and perception of comprehension will be strengthened. Comprehension itself remains unchanged, but the result of thinking will be clearer.

Therefore, from this point on, he could no longer expect to obtain Fire Needles by cultivating Heart-Piercing Grass.

The Jade Heart Grass has once again yielded the effects of thousands of hours of cultivation, but this time it is still a pot of mana away from the fifth level of Qi Refining. It will be able to advance when the Jade Heart Grass is harvested next year.

The number of Sanyan Rice plants remained around four hundred, among which a Sanyan Rice plant of exceptional quality emerged. In terms of its cordyceps aura, it was no different from previous years, bringing a complete cordyceps aura. The remaining strands of true qi were sealed away by Chen Guang using the Tuanxuan Qingxuan.

In addition, four more sections of the Purple Spirit Earth Root appeared.

The remaining spiritual plants are only millet, illusory flower wood, mysterious patterned bamboo, mind-concentrating flower, and some spiritual flowers from the land of supreme yang. The yang flower is still a long way off. Right now, the two Thousand Needle Wrens are using some golden grains to hone their golden beaks. In the transaction with the Taoist of the Scripture Pavilion, Chen Guang has managed to be thorough in all aspects and has obtained all the spiritual items he was asked for.

"My wealth has grown so suddenly. Should I find a reliable cultivator to help me sell some of my spiritual items?"

Once this idea took hold, it became somewhat irresistible, but it was quickly dampened by concerns about its reliability.

These things can't be rushed; I can only slowly sell some at the noodle shop myself.

Since the spiritual plants haven't matured yet, we need to pay more attention to them and check them one by one.

The spiritual soil of the Spider Silk Bottle Wood has been replaced with fine, white, wind-salt soil that seems to be constantly being blown by the wind, and the Spider Silk Bottle Wood has also grown as thick as an arm; four new seedlings of Mysterious Pattern Bamboo have been added, but the number that matured this year has reached six. In about three years, more than twenty Mysterious Pattern Bamboo will mature each year, and I can start to harvest them steadily to refine the essence of plants. The spiritual liquid of the Changliang Green Dragon Wood can also be used on the Mysterious Pattern Bamboo. At that time, twenty Mysterious Pattern Bamboo will be able to extract the amount of plant essence of thirty Mysterious Pattern Bamboo.

The Thunder Jade Emerald's delicate, transparent stems and leaves are now even more crystalline. Each green leaf is as thin as a green veil draped over the Thunder Jade Emerald's vines. Strands of indigo spiritual light travel along the roots to the edges of the leaves, giving the entire spiritual plant a unique and vigorous aura.

The two largest jadeite shrubs should start bearing fruit next year.

In the blink of an eye, it started to drizzle. As Chen Guang was observing, a light rain suddenly began to fall. At the same time, tiny bolts of lightning struck the Thunder Jade Emerald in the rain. The entire spiritual plant only swayed slightly. Instead, the lightning seemed to be absorbed and lit up on the stems and leaves of the Thunder Jade Emerald. It took several breaths for the lightning to subside.

This plant has been nourished by moonlight liquid, and its ability to withstand wind, rain, lightning, and thunder is even greater than that of Chen Guang, a cultivator at the second level of body refinement.

Just a hundred paces away, the sun was still shining brightly.

Chen Guang also took the opportunity to use the Tuanxuan Qingxuan to capture some wind and thunder energy from high above. At this height, neither the Thunder Jade nor the Drum Millet could absorb it, making it the least affected position. Chen Guang was much more unrestrained in using it.

These are all visible to the naked eye. After all, the rows of millet closer to the Lei Yu jadeite are growing much better than the millet in the other direction. The plump ears of millet have some clear purple patterns with more than thirty rings, which is in stark contrast to the shriveled and indistinct patterned ears of millet on the other side.

Some orbs of light had already appeared. Chen Guang immediately put away some of them and returned to the courtyard to see what reward Gu Shu had given him.

"Harvested one portion of millet (of poor quality) and obtained one copy of the first volume of the cultivation technique 'Zuihuang Yunjing'."

Harvested one portion of common millet and obtained one spirit item, the Sky-Startling Stone.

"Harvested one portion of millet (of poor quality) and obtained one portion of the spirit item, rhinoceros horn hide."

The Zihuang Yunjing is a Qi-refining technique that uses music to control insects and beasts. The accompanying spell [Ruhuang Yin] can simulate the timbre of various wind instruments. At the same time, when using this type of musical instrument-type spiritual artifacts and spells, there will be additional power enhancement.

It also involves skills such as music and insect control. This technique is highly specialized, but its effects are also visibly strong.

In contrast, Chen Guang felt that the accompanying spell of the Purple Qi Facing the Brightness Technique, Purple Smoke Illumination, was more of a supplementary spell, and its effects were too ordinary due to its versatility. However, upon further reflection, he thought that this might be the case. It had extremely strong universality and could tolerate different types of cultivators using this technique as their foundation. Losing some unique features for this reason was not necessarily a bad thing.

The Sky-Shocking Stone is a spiritual material that can emit a high-pitched sound that can be transmitted to the clouds; the Kongjiao Rhinoceros hide, although I don't know what the Kongjiao Rhinoceros is, I roughly used the ability of the reward light ball to explore the information and found that it is a spiritual beast related to the musical attribute, and its hide, bones and horns are all top-grade musical attribute materials.

"The *Zuihuang Yun Jing* can serve as a reference. It's impossible to completely revise it, but borrowing from it is still acceptable; some of the insect-controlling methods described there are quite interesting."

Chen Guangdao also felt that he had gained a lot.

Musical materials are not very common, so it's not difficult to sell them for a good price. However, the market is not wide. But considering all factors, Chen Guang made a lot of money by planting millet.
