Cultivation begins with harvest.

Chapter 242 Slave View No Soil

Chen Guang quickly selected a cave dwelling that was not in contact with other cave dwellings, but was close enough to the Sky-Walking Corridor. Although he could live a more secluded life, the journey of several thousand miles would require using the Sky-Walking Corridor to reach the outer gate, and the travel time would be unpredictable.

Within a hundred miles of this cave dwelling, there are nineteen sacred mountains with towering trees, two majestic and broad peaks, and two small lakes. A mighty river rushes through the cave dwelling. Chen Guang was extremely satisfied. The place he chose to stay was a slightly smaller peak, next to which were two closely spaced peaks that stood upright like elephant trunks, and at the foot of the mountain was a small lake.

Chen Guang wasn't greedy. Within a radius of a hundred miles, how could a Qi Refining cultivator possibly take care of everything? In such a large area, he could only truly protect one mountain and one lake, and even that might not be enough to keep up with everyone.

They flew swiftly, the second-tier flying boat beneath their feet moving with extraordinary speed, arriving at their destination in half an hour.

"This is a flag of the [Nine Pavilions Sunflower Water Golden Turtle Void Array]. It can draw water power to form a mountain-protecting array. If necessary, it can evolve into a Sunflower Water Golden Turtle to fight the enemy. It is a Qiankun array. I am lending it to you this time only for you to use to guard the mountain. This array can protect your residence and cover an area of ​​eight miles. The flag is enough. Your spiritual mountain and half of the lake are all within the range and are safe. Outside this range, it is not certain."

"Tianheng Plain is sparsely populated, with abundant wild spiritual plants and demonic beasts. You can venture there when you're bored. Remember, in areas with owners, these demonic beasts will not dare to chase you once you're ten feet above the ground, making it absolutely safe. In unclaimed areas, you need to go thirty feet above the ground. Please remember that Tianheng Plain is not absolutely safe. In the past hundred years, two people have died mysteriously because they coveted wild spiritual treasures. Even though the sect has been kind to you and provided you with many resources, if you seek your own death, we will never help you."

"This is the [Kongtong Seal], the symbol of your cave dwelling. It is a rare spiritual artifact that only the [Ji Zong lineage] can forge. How much of its mystery you can study is up to your own destiny. Now let's go for a walk around the mountain and settle all your spiritual plants. Then you should go to the Hall of Virtue, the Hall of Bright Etiquette, and the Hall of Earth as soon as possible. Only then will you be considered to have fully settled into Tianheng Plain. Let's go."

Master Fusong solemnly handed over a small, yellowish jade seal and a heavy, coiled flag. Chen Guang couldn't discern the mystery of the former; he only felt it was heavy and cold to the touch and couldn't store it in his storage artifact. He had never even heard of the Ji Zong lineage before, and only found it wondrous. So he hung it on his waist and began to examine the spiritual mountain before him.

A sacred mountain, encircled on two sides, forms a valley shaped like the Chinese character "几" (ji). In the middle of this "几" shape, which is also the deepest part of the valley, calculations revealed that sunlight only shines down around noon and leaves the valley around 3 PM. Now, in winter, the sunlight is even shorter, making it ideal for ice-flower phoenix trees. However, the Taoist Fusong, in addition to setting up the ice mist array, made some improvements: even an acre of land in this valley appears uneven, with ice-flower phoenix trees at the top and a pool of water with floating white mist below, resulting in better circulation of energy.

"Once you create a flowing stream and make some arrangements on both sides, this ice mist array will be optional. However, this is the Du Spirit Root. Without the ice mist array, the spiritual atmosphere in the valley will change drastically. How you do it is up to you." After giving his instructions, Daoist Fusong led Chen Guang to arrange other spiritual objects.

No. The thorn was placed near the lake and close to the valley. In the future, a waterway will be built in the valley, and in order to suit the thorn, the water will be diverted to pass by the thorn. It is currently close to the lake to divert lake water as a temporary measure. The thunder jade and jadeite were placed at the highest point on one side of the valley. Here, the wind is strong, the thunder is near, and the terrain is open. The rain that falls all year round can be transformed into mountain water and diverted to the thorn for use. The howling wind and thunder will not affect other spiritual plants because of the wide open space at the high point.

The apex of the valley is the point where the two walls connect, and the land of ultimate yang has moved here. At that time, the sea of ​​flowers will bloom here, and the Tianxing tiger bees will be able to live freely. Several Zhaoxing trees that are still residing in the branch building can also be grown here. This is the best place in Lingshan. If it weren't for the fact that Lei Yu and Emerald have a relatively large impact on the environment, Lei Yu and Emerald would be the ones here.

Spider Silk Vase Tree was planted at the bottom of a gentler western slope, where Red Return also took place. This slope was flat and the most suitable place in the entire Spirit Mountain to be developed into a spiritual field. Most of the spiritual plants would likely be planted here in the future. Mysterious Pattern Bamboo was planted at the valley entrance; True Tea Tree was planted at the top of the valley entrance on the other side of the valley, facing Thunder Jade Emerald across the valley; and Illusory Flower Tree was planted deep in the valley, at the bottom of a place where the sun shines brightly and where the valley is well-ventilated.

The rest of the spiritual plants were placed in a convenient location on the vast spiritual mountain, making it easy to adjust later. For the truly difficult ones, Daoist Fusong provided assistance. The relocation process was extremely smooth. The true peak was like a seal; once placed in a fixed area, the various spiritual plants and soil on it appeared as if they had been imprinted. Upon inspection, they seemed to have grown naturally in that place, which made Chen Guang extremely envious.

He then asked Daoist Fusong to take him on a journey to find a suitable place to cultivate some of the spiritual plant seeds he had. After circling around, they found a treasure trove on the north side of the valley. It was a concave cliff that received little sunlight during the day. Day and night, a lot of spiritual liquid accumulated and flowed down the entire cliff face. On the uneven ground at the bottom of the cliff, a mixture of gravel, spiritual liquid, and moist soil had formed a rare "Slave Temple Soil" over time. This was a type of "Ruins Soil" that was extremely unsuitable for cultivating spiritual plants. Upon closer inspection, one could even see faint traces of brick and tile walls that had been poured and painted.

Master Fusong suddenly realized: "I heard that there was once a whimsical fellow in Tianheng who cultivated [Azure Bamboo] on the edge of a cliff. This spiritual bamboo is unique. When used alone, it is a spiritual object that cannot be easily changed. But once planted, it will reach the first level, the second level after a hundred years, the third level after a thousand years, and the fourth level after ten thousand years. It can be used to reach the Nine Heavens. It is a famous rare tree. It is required that it cannot see the sky above or touch the ground below. It must be planted in the courtyard where people are satisfied with their lives and grow in a desolate and rare place." There has only ever been a section that fell from the Nine Heavens. No one has ever been able to cultivate it. He came up with a crazy idea and built a fortress on the edge of the cliff, relying on a kind of clay. This must be the place. It seems that he failed.

"As for the Ruins Soil, it is born from all the ruins and remnants of ancient sites, including some spiritual structures. It naturally has the characteristics of damaging growth and destroying the integrity of objects. It is more often used for fighting and cultivating secret techniques. The senior who cultivated the Azure Bamboo must have put a lot of effort into it to form such a scale: I see that the Ruins Soil is even a second-tier Ruins Soil. It has the characteristics of sinking structures underground and returning spiritual energy to the earth. Other spiritual plants would definitely die as soon as they are planted. It is most suitable for you to use it to cultivate the Three-Tailed Snow Sulfur Grass. Moreover, this land has not been used for who knows how long. The spiritual energy is fertile. I estimate that it only needs a radius of one zhang to grow a Snow Sulfur Grass. After a few years, it can also turn waste into treasure and transform the Ruins Soil into Yang Cliff Soil."

Fu Song Daoist finally asked for a small amount of Nu Guan Mei Tranquil soil, and gave Chen Guang a token in return, saying that if he had any difficulties in the future, he could use this token to come to him. After all, this cave dwelling was within a hundred miles of Chen Guang's territory, and all these spiritual objects belonged to Chen Guang. There were seven or eight acres of Nu Guan Mei Tranquil soil at the bottom of the cliff. This kind of spiritual soil was better at sinking and building, swallowing all spiritual energy underground and returning it to the earth. Deep inside, there were unknown how many earth-elemental spiritual objects were being nurtured. If he was greedy, this batch of spiritual soil could make him extremely rich.

There are four types of first-order spiritual liquid and one type of second-order spiritual liquid. This recessed cliff is naturally suitable for nurturing spiritual liquid and is a natural treasure land.

"Although you can dispose of everything within a hundred miles as you please, I still hope you will use it in moderation. If you use it to cultivate spiritual plants, it doesn't matter how extravagant you are. But if you give it away to others, no matter what the reason or the sentiment, you should think it over carefully. This is a resource that the sect gave you to improve your spiritual plant cultivation and to work hard in your cultivation. It wasn't given to you directly, was it?"

"From now on, you'll be all alone here. If you feel bitter or bored, you can wander around. This is how the pursuit of the Dao is; loneliness and hardship are common. Alright, I've done what I should do, so I won't disturb your cultivation any longer. Remember to go to the Three Halls as soon as possible."

Fu Song Dao Ren spoke sincerely, and Chen Guang naturally remembered it. But what excited him even more was that he finally had his own territory, and it was so spacious. But then he thought that it didn't belong entirely to him. Although he could stay in Tianheng Plain for at least ten years, it would be meaningless to have such a large area. In the end, he would still have to leave. If he worked hard to build it up, he would probably lose a lot. Thinking of this possibility, he felt a sense of weightlessness for a moment.
