After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

However, at the moment, Lin Heng is not interested in Yu Zhiyue, who seems to be infatuated, or Chu Lihai, who has already fainted.

Turning back to the hut, he imitated Yun Qinghe and the others who meditated and cultivated when activating the Spirit Restoration Array, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

Just now, when Chu Lihai was suppressing him with spiritual power, he clearly felt that his chaotic spiritual root was eager to try.

So after mobilizing the spiritual energy within his body and circulating it around his spiritual root once, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation level was about to break through!

He had already advanced to the late stage of the Crystallization Realm by entering the Source Water Dreamland with Mu Tinglan.

It seems that he's only one step away from reaching the Golden Core realm...

However, the Golden Core Realm is another severe watershed in the cultivation realm.

If entering the Enlightenment Realm tests a cultivator's comprehension of the power of rules, then breaking through to the Golden Core Realm will cause many cultivators to be forever stuck at the threshold of the late Crystallization stage.

the reason is simple.

Reaching the Golden Core realm requires refining several kinds of spiritual herbs into a Golden Core, and then using the medicinal properties to stimulate the spiritual root in order to complete the breakthrough.

Such spiritual herbs are by no means cheap, even in the Immortal Realm of the Ancient Era...

Slowly opened his eyes.

Lin Heng then discovered that Yu Zhiyue had also returned and was standing in front of him.

"This is?"

Looking down, Lin Heng saw a box inlaid with precious jewels that Yu Zhiyue handed him.

"Young Master Lin, please accept these spiritual herbs."

Yu Zhiyue said, "These are spiritual herbs I brought from the Imperial Palace. My grandfather said they were prepared for me to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

"For me?"

Lin Heng looked at her serious and sincere expression with surprise; she clearly wasn't joking.

If we're talking about the bandit from yesterday, Yu Zhiyue believes she could have handled it with ease.

As for Chu Lihai from the Dark Sect today, she knew she couldn't handle him.

After all, she had already tried it when Chu Lihai used the Gangfeng Binding Spirit Shield.

The difference in their levels of understanding made all her resistance seem so powerless.

So if Lin Heng hadn't been there, Yu Zhiyue would have had no doubt that she would have already fallen victim to Chu Lihai's treachery...

"Um!"

Yu Zhiyue nodded heavily. "If I'm not mistaken... Young Master Lin must have reached the peak of crystallization when he circulated his spiritual power just now, right? Young Master Lin should need these spiritual herbs more than I do."

"Then I'll accept it."

Lin Heng simply took the box from Yu Zhiyue's hand.

Upon opening it, it was indeed found to contain all the spiritual herbs needed to refine a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

This time, Yu Zhiyue didn't dwell on Lin Heng's rudeness.

After spending two days together, she had learned a bit about Lin Heng's way of doing things.

Therefore, Lin Heng's decisive acceptance pleased her: "Now all that's needed is an alchemist to refine this spiritual herb, and Young Master Lin will be able to break through to the Golden Core Realm!"

"Why refine them now? If you just refine them now, won't you break through to the Golden Core Realm?"

"Eh?"

Yu Zhiyue was stunned.

Although she is currently at the Crystallization Realm, I have already given her the spiritual herbs needed to refine a Golden Core...

Even if she reaches the peak of crystallization, these spiritual herbs wouldn't be enough to refine two golden pills, would they?

At this moment, Lin Heng stood up, weighed the box in his hand, and said, "I took them because I plan to plant them and grow them for a lifetime."

"Growing spirit herbs... Young Master Lin actually knows how to grow spirit herbs?"

Yu Zhiyue was surprised.

"Well, but you'll have to do me a favor."

Lin Heng nodded.

"good!"

Yu Zhiyue didn't even ask what kind of help it was before agreeing to it.

Lin Heng didn't say anything more and walked out of the wooden house to look at the surrounding soil.

Just as I expected, the soil in these mountains is not very suitable for growing spiritual herbs.

Fortunately, Yu Zhiyue is an earth spirit root fairy. By using the characteristics of her spirit root, she can turn ordinary soil into fertile soil suitable for the growth of spirit herbs.

After finding a plot of land near the cabin, Lin Heng asked her directly, "Can you make the soil on this plot suitable for crops?"

"That's easy, of course!"

Yu Zhiyue nodded and immediately created a magic spell, turning the soil upside down.

As she infused the barren land with her spiritual energy, it gradually transformed into fertile soil.

However, this level of fertility is clearly insufficient for cultivating spiritual herbs.

So Lin Heng also channeled his own spiritual power, channeling his spiritual energy, imbued with the rules of the source water, into it as well.

This soil began to transform at a visible rate, gradually becoming incredibly suitable for cultivating spiritual herbs...

"what?"

Sensing this change, Yu Zhiyue looked at Lin Heng with delight: "Young Master Lin, it's just as you said!"

"What did I say?" Lin Heng was stunned.

"Didn't you say before that fertile soil can only be formed by combining the rules of source soil and source water?"

Yu Zhiyue said happily, "Now that the source water rules of your spiritual root are nourishing my fertile soil, perhaps many, many more will grow!"

"...That's true."

Lin Heng responded.

Although he knew Yu Zhiyue was referring to the Nourishing Spirit Herb, her words still sounded somewhat strange...

After about half an hour, a patch of fertile soil was finally formed.

However, there weren't many stone bricks left, so he called on Yu Zhiyue to use magic to bombard the mountain wall together.

So, after spending an entire day, Lin Heng finally managed to construct the Immortal Farm Spirit Field and plant all of Yu Zhiyue's spirit herbs on it.

"The sun has already set..."

After finishing everything, Yu Zhiyue looked around at the surrounding mountains.

Having lived in seclusion here for more than half a year, this was the first time she realized how quickly time had passed.

In the past, she used to pass the time with tedious cultivation.

Besides cultivating, there's nothing else to do.

To be honest, this is completely different from the bustling imperial palace of the past, where there was always something to do every day.

But because of her own situation, Yu Zhiyue could only force herself to get used to it.

Today, this habit has clearly been broken.

Although whether it's cultivating land or carving into mountain walls, these are all menial tasks done by servants in the mortal world.

But she found a different kind of enjoyment in it, and it made her day feel more fulfilling.

The person who makes her feel so fulfilled is Lin Heng, who is still cultivating spiritual herbs...

"Aww."

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the side.

Yu Zhiyue quickly averted her gaze from Lin Heng, which had been lingering on him for some time.

Turning her head, she saw a spirit fox with its head drooping walking towards Yu Zhiyue from beside the Immortal Farmer's Spirit Field.

"Oh right! I haven't fed it any fruit today!"

Yu Zhiyue hurriedly returned to the house, brought out some fruit, and fed it to the fox while stroking its fur.

Crouching down, Yu Zhiyue whispered to the spirit fox, "Little fox, although you and I are very close, you should also be close to Young Master Lin! After all, Young Master Lin will be a new member of our family in the future! I just don't know if you'll still remember us after you become an immortal..."
