Cultivation begins with harvest.

Upon returning from the Yanmian Market, he brought back a complete array design centered on the Ice Source Cold Fiend.

He also went to ask familiar cultivators about dragon energy, but the answers he received were all similar, so Chen Guang had no choice but to go and discuss it with Wei Donglai and Zhong Qi first.

In Wei Donglai's courtyard.

"Having obtained the dragon's energy, you have a way to transform the Purple Spirit Soil into Second-Tier Spirit Soil?" Zhong Qi asked thoughtfully. "Do you possess the Purple Spirit Earth Root, capable of transforming it into Purple Python Soil?"

Chen Guang was already mentally prepared and said in a deep voice, "Yes, it just lacks dragon energy."

"If we deacons are lucky, we can dig out a section of dragon energy from our own spiritual fields where we live, but we don't really use it much. We usually hand it over directly to the Xingfeng Hall because it needs dragon energy to be effective," Zhong Qi said. He wasn't very interested in the source of Chen Guangzi's spiritual earth root. "But the fact that you asked means you know that there is only one way to obtain dragon energy. I might be able to get two or three strands, but I can't do anything about more."

"I hope you will do your best, senior brother. The more you produce, the more confident I will be in cultivating the Ice Flower Phoenix Tree. Only second-grade spiritual soil can cultivate the Ice Flower Phoenix Tree efficiently," Chen Guang said earnestly.

In the cultivation world, the dragon has always been a noble and mysterious symbol.

The dragon energy doesn't actually refer to finding a real dragon, but rather to the "human dragon energy," which comes from the special human energy of the emperor's residence in a mortal dynasty.

This kind of aura only appears in emperors, the current crown prince, and a few outstanding offspring of the current emperor. The more prosperous and peaceful the empire, the more dragon aura appears. Other members of the royal family can mostly collect [Imperial Aura], and the effects of the two are worlds apart.

The Qingheng Sect is not only maintaining peace in this region for the sake of the spiritual veins beneath the mortal city-state, but also cares about collecting some valuable human energy.

The aura of the dragon is one of them, and it is of great benefit to practitioners of the Purple Qi Facing the Brightness Technique. It is an important cultivation material that Purple Spirit Peak cannot part with. It can help to comprehend the Daoist charm of the "Mid-Heaven Purple Star" path, enable practitioners to distinguish between primary and secondary aspects of cultivation, and completely eliminate some hidden dangers that have a backlash effect.

Within the Qingheng Sect, there are still some Qi Refining cultivators with a few strands of dragon energy. Disciples stationed in the Imperial Palace of the Mortal City Kingdom can receive dragon energy as a reward; outstanding disciples will also be bestowed this kind of reward by the sect.

But for Zhong Qi, they are all Foundation Establishment resources, with Ice Flower and Wutong being even more important. It is only because Dragon Qi is objectively more precious that he does not have complete confidence in obtaining them.

The transformation of the Purple Spirit Soil does not require much dragon energy; a few strands are more than enough. A complete dragon energy requires a full ten thousand strands to be gathered, which is far beyond the reach of Chen Guang and the others.

After explaining the matter, he discussed the details of the Ice Flower Wutong and the Long Night Qi Technique with Wei Donglai and the others before leaving. In fact, the two of them were also very concerned, but they entrusted it to Chen Guang and did not want to say a word more, so as not to cause any adverse preconceived notions to Chen Guang.

Chen Guang was not in a hurry to return to the courtyard. Tomorrow, Tongchuan Cliff would have a lecture on the formation, and he would have four days to study at Chunyuan Residence. It might be better to make these preparations before planting the Ice Flower Wutong.

The inheritance of the Four Days Spring Fate Residence allowed Chen Guang to push the Nine Husbands Inheritance to 196 steps. This progress was somewhat beyond Chen Guang's own expectations, because the preparation this time was not very sufficient. There were still some parts of the Nine Husbands Inheritance that he had not fully comprehended last time. Perhaps because of the diversity of his learning, he was able to make connections and take steps beyond his imagination.

By the 150th step, the Void Spirit Seed had already fully comprehended the teachings. The additional forty-odd steps only allowed Chen Guang to learn more about the cultivation content of Spirit Plant Masters. The content had reached the midpoint between the first and second stages, which was just right for Chen Guang at the moment.

At the same time, Chen Guang realized that the 200th step would be another spirit plant master's skill, and he also realized that the upper limit of the Nine Husbands' inheritance was the second level. The use of the Void Spirit Seed stopped at the second level, and the problem of all the second-level seeds was not solved.

Despite this limitation, Chen Guang was still satisfied with it as a basic skill to be passed down.

"Only four steps away, what a pity, otherwise even just seeing the name would have been nice."

With regret at not being able to see the next skill, Chen Guang left Chunyuanju.

He went to Tongchuan Cliff again to deepen his understanding of the formation. When he returned to Wei Donglai's residence, Zhong Qi was already in the courtyard.

"You're not in a hurry at all." Zhong Qi flipped her hand and took out a yellow, somewhat cloudy jade box. A blurry, snake-like or dragon-like light could be seen moving leisurely inside. As soon as it appeared, people couldn't help but focus all their attention on it. Its spiritual posture was as if it really had a life. "There are three strands in total. I have done my best."

"A wisp of dragon energy is enough for one acre, but it will take several years. I'm afraid my senior brothers can't wait that long. I spent a whole night studying the Ice Flower Wutong tree before I determined that it must be second-tier spiritual soil. The sooner we use it, the better," Chen Guang said, half-jokingly.

Under normal circumstances, it takes three years for the Purple Spirit Earth Root to transform into one acre of spirit field. Now, it is impossible to wait another three years. Even people may not be able to wait, let alone six delicate Ice Flower Wutong trees.

Even if the seedlings are sealed with jade boxes and the methods of spiritual plant masters, they will still be damaged if the delay is delayed by another half month.

The previous arrangements were all temporary and based on existing resources.

"Okay, is there any problem with you reporting to the branch office?" Zhong Qi thought for a moment and asked.

"Turning a level 1 spiritual field into a level 2 one, and even advancing from the same source, is not only not a mistake, but a merit. Your two senior brothers will also receive some rewards."

"That's good."

Zhong Qi and Wei Donglai were slightly tempted, but they didn't take it too seriously; the cold breath of Qiaoling was the more important thing at the moment.

Carrying the dragon's aura, Chen Guang returned to the branch building. The reporting process went smoothly as expected, since turning one acre of spirit field into a second-tier spirit field was not something that could be done casually.

Wan Longjing was actually quite pleased when he found out: "If you can really do it, you can be credited with a small merit. Even if you don't meet some of the requirements for becoming a disciple of the Earth Hall in the future, this merit will be enough for you to enter it."

"At the same time, as the leader, the sect will also bestow additional rewards upon you, all on the premise that you succeed."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Guang returned to the courtyard and immediately set up an array using the Ice Source Cold Fiend, creating a cold and gloomy environment. He moved away some spirit beasts and spirit plants, such as the Ice Armor Turtle, leaving only the Ice Pine and Frost Grass inside the Ice Mist Array.

Opening the jade box containing the dragon energy, and with a slight guidance, a blurry golden dragon shadow emitted a fleeting dragon roar. The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be torn apart, and the remaining white mist within the array became chaotic. The source was this wisp of dragon energy. Chen Guang quickly cast a spell, and the dragon energy then subsided and disappeared into the purple spirit soil. The purple color of the entire purple spirit soil became even more vibrant. From where the dragon energy disappeared, the irregular soil seemed to have shed snake scales, revealing some neat traces.

The entire ice mist array returned to stability, but beneath the blur, the center and direction of the flowing white mist were also affected by the dragon energy.

Activating the earth-wood interaction, it sensed that the special spiritual energy within the Purple Spirit Earth Root had finally been released. Where the dragon energy had flowed, it gradually merged with the Purple Spirit Soil. Although the dragon energy was blurry, it did not weaken much even after flowing through this acre of Purple Spirit Soil. Once it reached the edge of the Ice Mist Array, it flowed through it again in an orderly manner.

Could the Purple Qi of Dawn facilitate this change, without necessarily increasing the amount of Dragon Qi to achieve the requirement of rapid advancement?

However, Chen Guang ultimately abandoned the idea of ​​experimentation. The current situation calls for stability, and it is not appropriate to conduct experiments at this time. He could only follow the pre-planned strategy and guide the remaining two dragon energies into the earth.
