Cultivation begins with harvest.

Chen Guang couldn't help but glance at Wan Longjing, but Wan Longjing seemed to ignore him.

Wan Longjing seemed not to see the floating ball of light that expanded and contracted with each breath. Instead, he noticed Chen Guang's strange gaze and looked over, asking, "What's wrong?"

In that instant, Chen Guang made a decision that almost startled himself when he said it: "Senior Brother Wan, why don't we take one out first and see how it is? Anyway, it's already like this. Fresh demon beast blood is not easy to obtain. It's not too late to decide after we take a look."

Wan Longjing thought to himself, "Anyway, it's your land. You can decide what to do with it. If I give you random advice, you might not say it, but you'll be unhappy inside." So he went along with Chen Guang's idea and said, "Monster meat is cheap, but internal organs, fresh blood, bones, and some important organs are indeed expensive and difficult to transport from hundreds of miles away. Let's take a look first."

Chen Guang and Wan Longjing jumped into the field one after the other.

The blood-red fleeceflower with blood-like veins on its green leaves still looked very vigorous. It is a spiritual medicine that can greatly replenish blood and qi and enhance the body's foundation. Monster meat also has the effect of restoring blood and qi, but it is naturally incomparable to the top-grade blood fleeceflower.

Chen Guang stared blankly at the ball of light in the field.

He felt that he was doing the right thing. He could see the information about the spiritual plants, and he could also see that as he planted more and more spiritual plants, he would get more and more information. In other words, after this year, everything would get better and better for Chen Guang.

And now, things are as usual.

However, Chen Guang needed to conduct an experiment to determine whether this ball of light was related to this matter.

Now is the best time. Even if Wan Longjing can see it and discover something amiss, and reports it to the sect, they will find that apart from this one special thing, Chen Guang is perfectly normal. He hasn't yet enjoyed the benefits of being able to see spiritual plant information, and the accumulation of all special resources hasn't even begun. It can be said that there are very few flaws.

It now seems that Wan Longjing cannot see the ball of light, otherwise he would have already reacted. Next, we only need to test whether Wan Longjing can touch the ball of light, or whether we can touch the ball of light ourselves, and make all the guesses about what changes the ball of light might undergo.

By exposing himself now, he can extricate himself from suspicion to the greatest extent possible.

As for whether there would be a soul-searching technique to make Chen Guang speak the truth, he couldn't care less. If he didn't do it now, he couldn't possibly harvest the spirit rice and the Linquan pumpkin in the middle of the night after they matured.

Even in the dead of night, can you guarantee you won't be discovered by others?

How could I possibly hide it from two disciples at least at the seventh level of Qi Refining, when I was only at the first level of Qi Refining?

As for leaving Purple Spirit Peak immediately after breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining, or failing to properly cultivate the spirit fields, these choices have greater drawbacks and are more questionable.

Therefore, Chen Guang was willing to gamble!

To take a huge gamble and determine whether the orb of light is something only I can see and touch.

Only after confirming these things can I sleep soundly and eat well; otherwise, I'll be filled with anxiety and unable to do anything.

Seeing this, Wan Longjing assumed that the spiritual soil had been compacted and that Chen Guang, having just broken through, was still somewhat helpless with such hard ground. So he offered, "Let me do it. I have some experience."

The spiritual soil of Ziling Peak was tinged with a hint of purple.

【Purple Spirit Soil】is the main component of the spirit soil of Purple Spirit Peak. This kind of spirit soil has a high efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy and its efficiency in converting spiritual energy and nutrients needed by spiritual plants is outstanding among spirit soils.

The disadvantages are that the ground surface hardens significantly and requires frequent loosening, which is quite difficult. Secondly, it dries quickly and requires a stable water source.

Even cultivators need to use the spiritual tool [spirit hoe] to clear away the hardened soil.

Wan Longjing, however, was different. He stretched out his right hand, and a wisp of magical power surged, forming a white auspicious cloud-like hand in the air. With Wan Longjing's movement, this cloud-like hand easily parted the hard purple spiritual soil, effortlessly penetrating deep into the ground, and grasping the fruit of the Blood Polygonum multiflorum. With a forceful pull, all the roots were severed, and a clump of blackish-red, fragrant but somewhat earthy tuberous root, thin and long oval in shape, was scooped up.

Chen Guang watched intently as Wan Longjing's palm passed through a ball of light.

Wan Longjing misunderstood: "This is the Cloud-Piercing Hand, a rare spell from the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion. It is as if it were a physical object, but it is powerful, strong, and impervious to water, fire, and poison. It has many wonderful uses. If you are interested, Junior Brother, just pay more attention to it when you go to Xingfeng Hall next time. Starting this year, you will have more money. Spend some spirit rice to buy some spells to make your cultivation easier."

"As for this Blood Polygonum multiflorum, its quality is not good. Good Blood Polygonum multiflorum has thick roots with a fragrant medicinal smell, but no muddy or earthy smell. If it is to be sold, it can only be sold cheaply. Such a piece is only worth a few kilograms of spirit rice, which is not in line with the grade of first-class top-grade. It is an inferior product."

Chen Guang nodded and bowed, saying, "Junior Brother, I have learned a great deal."

Wan Longjing handed the blood he shou wu back to Chen Guang: "Blood he shou wu has a long growth period, so there's still room for improvement. Alright, let's leave it at that for now and go back."

Chen Guang held the blood-red he shou wu as if it were a precious treasure, and followed Wan Longjing back to his small courtyard. Wan Longjing opened a golden brocade bag and took out a lot of spiritual tools and spiritual rice seeds in one go: "This year's share is all here. Take it and keep it safe. If you have any questions, come to the distribution building to find me."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Chen Guang glanced enviously at the golden brocade pouch at Wan Longjing's waist. It was a storage pouch, and Chen Guang would have to wait until he reached the fourth level of Qi Refining to obtain it. From this, one could get a glimpse of Wan Longjing's true cultivation level.

After seeing Wan Longjing off, Chen Guang first put away the seeds and moved all the spiritual tools into the courtyard before closing the door. He looked at the piece of blood-shouwu in his hand with great emotion; it was shriveled and had an earthy smell.

The white light enveloped the Blood-He Shou Wu. When Wan Longjing touched it, he had already passed through it, or rather, he was constantly in contact with and encompassed by the white light.

When Chen Guang received it, the moment he touched the white ball of light, the ball of light conveyed its will, asking whether he should accept it on the spot or maintain it for now.

If Chen Guang doesn't take it away, the white light will last for nine days before dissipating—this is a harvested spiritual plant, and its light will last for a maximum of nine days, but it will remain on the spiritual plant to ensure that the light will continue to exist as long as the spiritual plant doesn't die. However, it will only appear after the spiritual plant has matured.

After confirming that no one was around the courtyard, Chen Guang decided to go back to his room first, close the doors and windows tightly, and then release the ball of light.

The ball of light disappeared, but the Blood-He Shou Wu remained in place, and a surge of information entered Chen Guang's sea of ​​consciousness.

"I have acquired one portion of inferior-quality He Shou Wu (Blood Polygonum multiflorum) and one copy of the first volume of the *Pan Xue Jing* (Blood Classic)."

Before Chen Guang could react, a phantom book with a blood-red cover bearing the words "Pan Xue Jing" appeared in his mind. The next moment, the phantom book flipped through his mind with a "whoosh" sound, and in a short while, it was turned from beginning to end. At the same time, a large amount of information entered Chen Guang's mind until the sound of turning pages stopped, the book suddenly shattered and disappeared completely, and Chen Guang received the complete "Pan Xue Jing".
