Cultivation begins with harvest.

Early the next morning, Chen Guang sailed his Green Leaf Boat to the market and bought Variegated Wood and the fruit of the Yellow Mulberry, which can produce miasma. This is a fairly pure miasma material that can create a rich environment of poisonous creatures. If it weren't troublesome to plant, Chen Guang would have planted it now for long-term development. For now, he could only make do with some fruit.

Secondly, a batch of red neem seeds needed by the Purple Poison Spider was also obtained, as well as seeds of water and wood-attribute spiritual flowers needed by the Heavenly Star Tiger Bee; some alchemy materials for the Black Ginseng Flame Pill were also prepared.

The three types of rice require ice-stone, green oak, and six kinds of spiritual powders used for mulching the fields.

Therefore, the spiritual rice fields will finally cease production. With twelve strands of pure spiritual energy accumulated in hand, there is more than enough for even the second level of the Clear Spiritual Eyes, which consumes the most energy. It is not unreasonable to focus on the Three-Smoke Rice. These two fields will serve as food for the Thousand-Needle Wren and the Purple Poisonous Spider. Chen Guang is particularly counting on the latter. Once it nurtures the Hundred Poison Gu King Curse and possesses traces of the universe, it can mutually benefit from the Spider Silk Treasure Bottle Wood.

After all that trouble, I only had less than 30,000 yuan left in the pool.

Originally, I intended to leave it to the White Mist Floating Duckweed, but as my research deepened and my understanding of formations and spiritual plants deepened, some special ideas gradually formed in my mind. My intuition became more and more acute, which gave me a clearer idea of ​​how to modify the White Mist Floating Duckweed.

According to the original plan, analyzing the resonance path between the cold and yin attributes, the floating spiritual plants, and the spiritual objects is a long and arduous road.

This path is arduous, requiring enormous investment and a long time to yield results. However, once successful, it forms the unshakeable foundation of a towering building, solving countless problems with a single solution. If one can transform the White Mist Duckweed, one can apply the same degree of transformation to similar spiritual plants and succeed.

Chen Guang's current ideas only work on the white duckweed. He is helpless when faced with a different type of duckweed and has to start all over again.

But realizing the huge investment required for the former and that it could not be completed this winter, Chen Guang chose the latter without hesitation. He could wait, but the Ice Flower Wutong could not wait. It was a patient that was beginning to show signs of illness, and the longer it was delayed, the more powerless it became. Instead, at this stage, a successfully transformed White Duckweed would be enough.

Let's start by modifying the white duckweed.

Chen Guang took action.

"The law is not isolated." This time, Chen Guang unexpectedly gained inspiration to transform the white mist duckweed after receiving the array inheritance from Chuangyun Tower. He used a simple array made of trigrams to draw the cold air of the ice flower phoenix tree, allowing the white mist duckweed to accept the cold air while resisting it, and gradually become accustomed to and tolerate the cold air. This process was a gradual transformation, and the white mist duckweed gradually replaced the function of the array. This was when the transformation was complete.

It sounds simple, but there are two difficulties.

Firstly, the coldness of the Ice Flower Wutong was too intense. Chen Guang's idea was similar to scalding a towel with boiling water, letting it cool, and then applying it to his back to allow his skin to adapt to the temperature. However, the Ice Flower Wutong was like splashing boiling water directly onto his face.

How to protect against the damage from cold air, how to control the amount to promote the mutation of the white duckweed, and how to achieve it quickly are all huge challenges.

This is the second difficulty in building upon the foundation: what kind of spiritual objects are needed to participate in the refining of divination objects. This is actually the difficulty that restricts Chen Guang's thinking.

After a moment's thought, Chen Guang had an idea. He planned to gather more information about the ice flower and phoenix tree and then put together a more practical plan to give to Zhong Qi.

Just because you can't solve it yourself in a short time doesn't mean others can't.

The next day, Zhong Qi and Wei Donglai stood inside the ice mist array, looking at the six small spirit trees that were gradually plunging the entire array into a state of icy cold, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

They understand formations.

But what about the way of spiritual plants?

It really wouldn't work, otherwise they wouldn't have come to Chen Guang, so much so that what they thought was a good option was immediately rejected by Chen Guang as soon as they mentioned it.

All three realized the crux of the problem, but only Chen Guang was able to address both aspects, yet his cultivation level was insufficient, and the situation within the ice mist array was also complex: flowers that needed to grow, soil that needed to evolve, and duckweed that needed to be planted...

With their relationship intertwined, the communication difficulties among the three began to emerge.

"Let's take it slow," Zhong Qi could only accept this reality. "It's a pity there are too few practitioners of the Nine Calculations lineage. Otherwise, if we could find someone to mediate, we might get results much faster."

Is the Nine Calculations lineage inherited?

Chen Guang had only heard that such a tradition existed in Yunlou, but the requirements for cultivation were quite high, and very few cultivators could actually step into it.

They possess exceptional calculation and deductive abilities, which are often used by powerful families.

Since there was no other way, the three of them could only communicate in their own way, sometimes even veerging into discussions about formations. After three days, they finally determined the range of two formations and twenty-seven kinds of spiritual objects. How to choose was up to Chen Guang himself. Zhong Qi and Wei Donglai couldn't get involved, so they left on their own and would come back when needed.

While setting up the Three-Smoke Rice Spirit Field, Chen Guang also drank Xi Feng Tea and began to study various inheritances and analyze Yin-cold spiritual plants. Once the selection range was determined, digesting various inheritances of skills to improve his understanding was also a good way.

Two days later.

That should be it.

With the results in hand, they selected a combined formation of "Three Mysterious Tigers" and "Water Wolf" and began setting up the White Mist Floating Duckweed.

The Three Mysterious Tigers are variations of the Three Talents Formation, with a more offensive nature, often used to assist formation attacks; the Water Wolf is more suitable for entanglement and mobile combat, and is well-suited for entanglement and restraint formations.

Combining the two creates a more proactive formation.

Instead of adopting a defensive, gradual approach, Chen Guang allowed the white mist duckweed to actively resist. Its momentum was inevitably no match for the ice flower phoenix tree, and it would instead be slowly eroded by the ice flower phoenix tree. This achieved Chen Guang's goal—the cold air was entangled within the ice flower phoenix tree, rapidly changing the white mist duckweed.

The entire process required Chen Guang to dynamically adjust and influence the formation as needed.

A formation is not the same as a magic array. As long as the divination objects are arranged according to the magic array, it will trigger spiritual energy and cause special changes. A formation is like a water pipe, which is only a carrier and guide for water and has certain limits. A magic array, on the other hand, is the water source, which naturally has endless and unpredictable power. It can become a ditch or a river or sea.

When the formation can be naturally activated and break through the limitations of the "pipe," it can operate continuously without the need for magic power. That is the beginning of moving from the Xuanhuang Formation to the Qiankun Formation.

The Qiankun Formation is still too far off. Right now, Chen Guang is simply borrowing the formation's power and injecting magic power to artificially exert influence when needed. In other words, he is constantly involved in the control and cannot achieve a permanent solution. Chen Guang needs to be highly focused and concentrated until the white floating duckweed can contend with the cold energy of the ice flower phoenix tree, even if it is at a disadvantage.

For this purpose, we also prepared "Tiger Bone Amber" to make the vaporous aura of the white mist more condensed; "Icy Ash Marrow" to make the white mist more resistant to cold air; and Ice Elder Stone for auxiliary observation...

The divination objects made from these spiritual items are currently the most capable of completing this step according to calculations.

Even so, one must be prepared for a lot of failures in order to master the degree of resistance.

Chen Guang glanced at the small duckweed floating in the cool pond in the courtyard, which was now full of white mist.

"Thankfully, there's still plenty left."
