Cultivation begins with harvest.

The female fruit, once mature, will present the female form that the cultivator most desires. It can preserve some music and, when needed, will automatically release simulated music and sway its body to the music. It is a high-value ornamental spiritual plant.

I've never heard of or seen it before, but its description certainly meets the "strange" standard of the Wanwu Bifangdian collection.

Chen Guang overlooked the function of the Yan Nu Fruit. This ornamental spiritual plant was of little use to him. What Chen Guang cared more about was the magical power he had consumed because he had discovered the information about the Yan Nu Fruit.

Firstly, it proves that the Mirage Candle Maiden Array did indeed use some of the seed's energy; only with the existence of this energy can the reward light cluster function.

Secondly, the reward orb seems to be some kind of tangible existence.

Recalling the first time I touched the reward orb, it was also when I became a cultivator and gained magic power. However, I usually don't consume so much magic power; it's very weak, so much so that I didn't notice it. The seed aura within the Mirage Candle Maiden Array was just a drop in the ocean, which is why it consumed more magic power.

For complete spiritual plants and seeds that are in close contact, the consumption will not be so great.

Chen Guang suddenly had many more guesses about the reward light.

Back to reality, each exploration consumed one-twentieth of his mana. Considering the natural rate of mana regeneration, he probably only had a little over twenty opportunities to gather information within a certain period of time.

Chen Guang looked up and said, "Senior Brother Chen, could you please point out which spiritual plants I can buy with just one or two days of comprehension?"

Chen Shiqi nodded approvingly: "Of course, this does not violate the rules. However, I must tell you something in advance. The spiritual plants in the Wanwu Side Hall are actually divided into two levels. One level is those that have been studied for more than ten days, which are truly precious spiritual plants."

"The other type is those that only take a day to comprehend. These are spiritual plants that the Taoists on the peaks collect from the western wilderness and the northern ice cliffs. They themselves can't quite identify the specific effects of these plants. There are about forty kinds of this type. So I say that in the Hall of All Things, there is a chance to gain something."

Let's open blind boxes!

Chen Guang is quite experienced in this area, and with the bonus light orb having more than twenty chances to use it, he has a significant advantage.

"This way, I'll point it out to you," Chen Shiqi said politely.

Chen Guang followed Chen Shiqi toward another corner of the Wanwu Hall. Suddenly, he noticed something. Looking up, he saw a vine with a crystal-clear, heart-shaped fruit growing towards the sky without any support. Because it was hidden behind several tall tree canopies, Chen Guang hadn't seen it for the first time.

Looking at it evokes a sense of shame and filth, yet smelling it brings a sense of peace and tranquility.

"Heavenly Heart Fruit!" Chen Guang exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Shiqi nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it only takes 49 days of comprehension to obtain a seed of the Heavenly Heart Fruit."

Chen Guang immediately shut his mouth.

The Heavenly Heart Fruit, a second-tier top-grade spiritual plant, is renowned. It can be used to refine pills that help cultivators break through the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment; it can be used to refine pills that temper one's mind; it is also extremely beneficial for cultivation of the soul; and it can even help some spirit beasts further develop their wisdom.

It has many uses and is highly valued.

However, for Qi Refining cultivators, taking it alone is the most effective way to improve their aptitude. It goes without saying that weak or low-grade aptitudes can be improved, and even those with grade C aptitude can see significant improvement. It can be taken repeatedly to enhance one's spiritual root aptitude.

However, a single Heavenly Heart Fruit vine can only produce a maximum of four fruits in ten years. It has a wide range of uses, and very few of them end up in the hands of Qi Refining cultivators.

At the same time, the 49-day time allotted for enlightenment is far too expensive.

Each breakthrough grants a disciple of the Earth Hall the amount of Spring Origin Abode time required for their current cultivation level: one day for Qi Refining Level 1, two days for Qi Refining Level 2, and so on.

All things considered, it would only take 45 days to comprehend the process of cultivating to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

There should be an additional opportunity to gain enlightenment, but Chen Guang was unaware of this.

"My performance in the Nine Husbands' Inheritance was outstanding enough, why not reward me with a few days for contemplation or a Heavenly Heart Fruit? Wouldn't I be even more grateful?"

Chen Guang only grumbled inwardly and had no real intention of blaming anyone. It was just that his greed naturally surfaced when he saw the treasure. He could only look on with envy at the Heavenly Heart Fruit.

At the same time, Chen Guang paid close attention and indeed discovered some other relatively hidden and precious spiritual plants. Without exception, their prices were all above ten days. In particular, he discovered a [Lingxi Sunflower], which is a rare spiritual plant that can specifically improve the aptitude of fire spiritual roots and is worth 35 days of comprehension time.

This made Chen Guang realize belatedly that there were indeed good things in the Wanwu Side Hall, but he was simply too blind to recognize them all.

His aptitude is currently the biggest obstacle to Chen Guang's rapid progress, and his desire for this type of spiritual plant is undeniable.

Chen Guang was also considering that he didn't have any spiritual plants he liked. He would rather save up his cultivation days to exchange for those spiritual plants that could improve his spiritual root aptitude. Although the benefits from the Earth Hall were expensive, they were truly generous. These were rare items that were hard to find even with a lantern, yet they were willing to give them to their own disciples.

Chen Shiqi led Chen Guang to identify the spiritual plants that were only worth a day of comprehension. Chen Guang also used his own judgment to filter out some spiritual plants that did not seem to fit his needs in terms of shape and aura, and focused on touching the spiritual plants that he valued.

However, Chen Guang tried more than ten plants that Foundation Establishment cultivators could not identify and discard into the side hall of all things, and that were priced for a day of comprehension. He realized that they were indeed not very reliable.

【Rainbow Berry】, a top-tier Tier 1 fruit. Consuming its fruit can cause the body hair to change into a constantly shifting rainbow color within a few hours, and can even alter the color of some spells, but only the color.

[Mother and Child Gourd], Tier 2, Common. It can grow another Mother and Child Gourd from within the gourd fruit, and this can be repeated up to six times, allowing one plant to be cultivated as six. Apart from this, it has no special features. According to the description, it does not have any traces of the universe. It simply has high spiritual energy purity and has the potential to become a source of plant essence for spiritual plant masters.

【Ebony】, First-tier Common, has a naturally faint yet peculiar odor that is difficult to dispel. It can be used to cultivate certain poisonous creatures, making it a rare and useful spiritual plant.

【Seven-Bearded Spirit Ginseng】, Tier 1 Common, born with only seven roots. It can grow in the soil or obtain nutrients from seven different spirit plants using its roots. It can then add seven flavors to the basic spirit ginseng.

……

At first, Chen Guang had the urge to complain, but later he became too lazy to comment.

After thinking about it, I accepted it.

This is quite normal. Under the influence of spiritual energy, some plants undergo transformation, simply growing fat from overeating, like the mother-and-child gourd; others may possess some special abilities, but these do not meet the needs of cultivators, so they naturally remain unknown.

In the cultivation world, there are countless kinds of spiritual plants, but only a few are truly useful to cultivators. Those spiritual plants that do not meet the needs of cultivators are at most registered, but that doesn't mean they aren't spiritual plants; they just have low value. Heaven and earth are indifferent to all things, treating them like straw dogs. It's not that everything revolves around cultivators, and this situation is perfectly natural.

These forty-odd kinds of spiritual plants are probably the same.

Therefore, Chen Guang's expectations for what he could gain from these forty-odd kinds of spiritual plants became increasingly low, and he even regarded it as merely an opportunity to broaden his horizons.

When they tried the seventeenth one, a spiritual plant finally appeared that caught Chen Guang's eye.

Spiritual Plant: [Unyielding Thorn]

Grade: Tier 1 Common

Attributes: Water/Berry/Perennial/Woody

Description: A spiritual plant imbued with a trace of gentle water-attribute spiritual energy, possessing vigorous vitality and easy to cultivate. It prefers sunlight, is cold-resistant, and drought-resistant. It thrives best in well-drained, moist, and loose jade-sand-type spiritual soil, followed by moist and well-drained spiritual soil such as black thistle soil. Its fruit has the ability to heal cultivators' kidney disease. Supplementing it with [Great Illuminating Wood] and water-attribute spiritual essence can increase both the quantity and quality of the fruit.

By using the spiritual liquid formula [Capturing Wood Juice] for a long period of time, supplemented by a riverbed paved with [Whirlpool Stone], and a stable stream of spiritually charged water, it can slowly transform into a second-tier high-grade spiritual plant [Yellow Mound].

Unlock the next level of cultivation content: 0/50 (Number of mature, unthorny crops harvested)

Chen Guang did not know what the Buzhiji was, but he knew what Huangcheng was, and that its fruit was a spiritual object that could specifically improve the aptitude of water spiritual roots.

Chen Guang can also buy vortex stones. This first-tier refining material is formed on the reefs of major rivers. Major rivers, mountains and streams all have a large amount of natural spiritual energy that can nurture many spiritual objects. The output is also stable, so it is not difficult to obtain.

The ditch of Ziling Peak can provide a stable and spiritually potent water flow.

Chen Guang, who was in charge of capturing the wood juice, did not know what it was.

But after much thought, I realized that a seed without thorns could be bought with just one day of comprehension. Although the path to advancing to the second tier was somewhat long, it was more promising than the Heavenly Heart Fruit and easier to obtain than the Spirit Sunflower.

Chen Guang was truly moved.

The thorny plant also has economic value and can be used to treat kidney disease.

Kidney disease in cultivators is different from kidney disease in mortals. It is a general term encompassing a type of injury, illness, and hidden dangers in cultivation. Poisoning, mistakes in cultivating water-attribute spells, and water-attribute injuries that are difficult to expel can all cause kidney disease. It is caused by spiritual energy, and mortal methods of treating kidney disease are ineffective. Therefore, among the various arts of cultivation, there is a special and respected profession called the "Spiritual Healer." They are not good at combat but are skilled at identifying, treating, and healing the injuries and illnesses of cultivators.

Chen Guang withdrew his finger and let Chen Shiqi lead him to identify some spiritual plants of equal value.

As a result, two more valuable spiritual plants were discovered. One of them, like the Vermilion Fruit, could be used to refine pills that increase cultivation, but compared to the Unyielding Thorn, Chen Guang already had a choice.
