Cultivation begins with harvest.

After thanking Cao Fang, Chen Guang inquired carefully and learned that Leng Xianglan came from the Luo family of Hepu Mountain and was a specialty and signature product of the Luo family.

The Luo family of Hepu Mountain is most famous for its Insect Master lineage. The Insect Master lineage originated from the Beast Tamer, but its development has become extremely rich. Although it is within the framework of the Beast Tamer, the specific changes and cultivation processes have become very different, so it has become independent.

Beast tamers can control spirit insects; insect masters can also control spirit beasts and monsters, but neither is as adept at it as the other.

The Luo family is famous for its insect control, Gu cultivation, beast taming, and demon exorcism. Their home, Hepu Mountain, is also a renowned spiritual land rich in spiritual plants. The family's strength is second only to the Dongfang family of Chaxi and the Zhao family of Dongdu.

"The Luo family's business in the market is Hepu Building. Once we verify that the Cold Fragrance Orchid can indeed be used to combat blue-blooded mosquitoes, we can buy more."

After a brief moment of excitement, Chen Guang calmed down. This effect was easy to imagine, but it wasn't mentioned in the reward light or in the Scripture Pavilion's insights about Bing Lusong. Perhaps Leng Xianglan didn't have the outstanding ability to fight against Blue Blood Mosquitoes that he had imagined.

Let's plant it first.

Chen Guang planted the Cold Fragrance Orchid in the Ice Mist Array. With the interaction of earth and wood, its location was naturally excellent, appearing in the most suitable spot.

The return of Cao Fang and others brought some vitality to the branch building. New things always attract attention. Chen Guang also took the opportunity to spend 1,400 catties of spirit rice to buy some Star Sprout Pills, Yuyan Pills and Vein Protecting Pills. Using the excuse that he did not have the "Mysterious Dao Stone Record", he inquired about the specific usage tips from others several times. Naturally, he also revealed these pills to a few cultivators.

This is enough.

On this day, after arranging things at home, Chen Guang came to the market, but instead of going to the Sutra Repository, he wandered around to another part of the foot of Ziling Peak.

Unlike the buildings in Xingfeng Market, the buildings here are either directly built of stones or grown directly from a single tree—a top-grade spiritual plant called "Jiwu Wood." If cultivated properly, it can grow into a pavilion up to twenty meters tall, with almost no drawbacks except for being slightly damp.

The wood used for the house is not available for sale in Xingfeng Market; it can only be obtained through special means in this local market.

This is the underground hall.

Looking down from the foot of the mountain, even the many buildings appear as a deep blue-green that stretches into the clouds.

Here, the concentration of spiritual energy increased to an even higher level, so much so that Chen Guang felt slightly uncomfortable. Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency, and the current concentration of spiritual energy was not suitable for Chen Guang to stay for a long time.

After Chen Guang revealed his identity, he was led by the deacons and disciples to a conspicuous stone hall entwined with various flowers and vines.

Those who can remain in the Earth Hall for a long time must be cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Inside the stone hall, there were no decorations, only a few disciples sitting cross-legged on futons, meditating and cultivating, seemingly unaware of Chen Guang and the disciple who was guiding them.

"You're going to Chunyuan Residence, right? Go straight from the right side hall, past Jingshui Hall and Qiuye Pavilion, and you'll get there," the disciple in charge said, pointing to one of the exits on the side of the main hall.

Chen Guang nodded, thanked his senior brother, and walked in that direction.

The purpose of this main hall is to receive visitors. It can detect a cultivator's condition, intentions, etc., and determine whether the cultivator is in an abnormal state or harbors ill intentions. Only if the main hall does not react can one enter the back normally. This stone hall is said to be a first-grade magic artifact, and it is impossible for a Qi Refining cultivator to deceive it.

This was much the same as when Chen Guang joined the Qingheng Sect. There wasn't much questioning or searching. They mainly checked his bloodline, aptitude, and spiritual body. As long as he could pass through the main hall safely, he could proceed. Just like when he joined the Qingheng Sect, no one specifically searched his luggage.

Jing Shui Tang is a unique, spacious waterside pavilion.

Apart from a seemingly endless pool of water and a mahogany corridor, there is nothing else. Walking in this place inexplicably calms you down and greatly relieves mental fatigue.

Autumn Leaf Pavilion is a huge pavilion at the end of the Still Water Hall. There are already quite a few cultivators inside, but they all just glanced at Chen Guang and then looked away.

As soon as Chen Guang entered Qiuye Pavilion, a scroll resembling a leaf flew over automatically, displaying numerous characters and options.

"Upon closer inspection, it reminds me of a game platform from a past life."

Despite his complaints, Chen Guang still affixed his identity token to the Autumn Leaf Scroll. Immediately, much information changed. He glanced at the other cultivators; each had an Autumn Leaf Scroll in front of them, but no one else could see it. From time to time, cultivators followed the Autumn Leaf Scrolls, leaving the Autumn Leaf Pavilion and heading towards the Spring Fate Residence.

This was Chen Guang's first time here, but he had heard about the procedures many times before, and his attention was completely focused on the painting in front of him.

His own painting and some information appeared on the scroll.

"Qi Refining Level 2, Comprehension Time: 3 days."

Continue reading to see the benefits that Chunyuanju can provide.

'Spring Fate Residence - Inheritance Steps': Contains the most basic spiritual plant master inheritance, 'Nine Husbands Inheritance'. The Nine Husbands Inheritance originated from the deceased sage of Changyun Peak, Zhang Jujian and Liu Fang, disciples of Lingyun Shangren Xu Hui, and his disciple Sima Qiudao. It was created and perfected by nine people across four generations. Because the living were unnamed, it was called 'Nine Husbands'. It is the basic spiritual plant master inheritance of our Qingheng Sect. We hope that future generations will remember the kindness of our predecessors in planting trees.

"This inheritance staircase has a total of 684 steps, of which 626 are for inheritors. The first 58 steps are the inheritance imprints set up by the Sage Hall, which will leave a total of 58 restrictions on the cultivator's soul, body, and dantian. These restrictions have the power to destroy the soul and burn the internal organs. This is to prevent the transmission of this method to outsiders. It is only for those who wish to understand it and discuss it with fellow disciples who have received this imprint. Those who cannot receive this inheritance imprint should not enter!"

"Entry requirements: 1. Disciple of the Earth Hall; 2. For each day of entering the inheritance stage, one day of meditation time must be spent at Chunyuan Residence."

『Spring Fate Residence - Pure Wood Spiritual Energy』: A side hall containing pure wood spiritual energy, which can be used by cultivators who have reached the Qi Refining stage to adjust their cultivation when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Entry requirements: 1. Earth Hall disciple; 2. Qi Refining perfection; 3. For each day spent in the Pure Wood Spiritual Qi Side Hall, one day's worth of meditation time at Chunyuan Residence is required."

Top ten in the small competition, with the maximum of one True Qi taken as the base for the tenth place, one more True Qi can be taken for each place higher."

『Spring Fate Residence - Hundred Flowers Side Hall』: Can transform a cultivator's physique into an acquired spiritual body [Hundred Flowers Spiritual Body].

"Entry requirements: 1. Earth Hall disciple; 2. Grade B aptitude; 3. Sign the Qingheng Agreement; 4. For each day spent in the Hundred Flowers Side Hall, one day of meditation time must be spent in the Spring Fate Residence."

This is the true benefit of being a disciple of the Earth Hall.

Some were meant to help with foundation building; some were to improve one's aptitude; and some were to offer rare and precious items as rewards. But no matter what kind of reward it was, Chen Guang couldn't resist the urge to buy it.

Unfortunately, upon reaching the end, I realized that with my status as a second-level Qi Refining disciple and a disciple of the Earth Hall, all I could satisfy was the Inheritance Staircase and the Myriad Things Side Hall.

Aside from these two things, Chunyuanju mainly caters to disciples who have reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

"I definitely have to go to the Inheritance Staircase. It will allow me to rationalize my two skills, Earth and Wood Interaction and Return to Spring, and also showcase my potential to the sect; but the Myriad Things Side Hall is also very attractive."

Although Chen Guang wanted them all, he immediately made a choice: to go to the Inheritance Steps to meditate for a day first.
