You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"This is top-grade spirit grain. You should know how difficult it is to cultivate. It's only because I have an ancestral secret method that I need to use five elemental spirit stones to form an array to cultivate top-grade spirit grain. I'm a little short on cash lately, otherwise, I wouldn't be selling this top-grade spirit fruit." Chen Huai'an was quite satisfied with the price of this spirit grain; one pound of spirit grain was worth 5 low-grade spirit stones.

Inside the purple gourd space, Chen Huai'an planted a large amount of spirit grains, and each harvest yielded at least 200 jin.

Aside from 50 jin for his own consumption, he could harvest 150 jin of spirit grain each time to sell, which amounted to 750 spirit stones.

If Chen Huai'an were to expand the scale and plant another batch of spirit grains in the space, he could harvest thousands of low-grade spirit stones every few days.

"Sir, our Wufangzhai specializes in spirit grains. You can inquire around. For ordinary top-grade spirit grains, they would only offer three to four low-grade spirit stones per pound at most, while I can offer five low-grade spirit stones, which is already the highest price on the market." The shopkeeper frowned upon hearing Chen Huai'an's words.

This top-grade spiritual grain is not something that ordinary cultivators can enjoy; only the truly wealthy can consume it.

No, even wealthy people wouldn't recklessly choose to consume this top-grade spiritual grain; instead, they would use it to cultivate outstanding members of their clan.

While top-grade spirit grains are excellent, for some truly powerful individuals, they are merely a source of enjoyment, offering negligible benefits to their cultivation.

The greatest advantage of the top-grade spirit valley is that it can help the family cultivate outstanding members, making their foundation more solid and saving them cultivation time.

"Five low-grade spirit stones. I only have five low-grade spirit stones left, but I have one request: I want to pay with five-element spirit stones, because these top-grade spirit grains are cultivated using secret methods." Chen Huai'an pondered for a moment before agreeing to the price offered, and also stated his conditions.

The value of top-grade spirit grains is limited, and they are only purchased by certain special families and forces. Although these grains are excellent, they require a great deal of effort to cultivate. While selling them carries some risk, the risk of being targeted is not very high.

Moreover, Chen Huai'an also said that cultivating this top-grade spirit valley requires five-element spirit stones, thus giving him an excuse and a channel to obtain them.

"Paying with Five Elements Spirit Stones is no problem, but fellow Daoist, you should know that the exchange rate between Five Elements Spirit Stones and ordinary spirit stones is 1:10. I must make this clear to you." The shopkeeper smiled and looked at Chen Huai'an.

Using Five Elements Spirit Stones is a little troublesome, as they have to find a way to exchange them for Five Elements Spirit Stones, but as long as the price is agreed upon, it's not a problem at all.

"Of course I know that," Chen Huai'an smiled.

If this deal goes through, then he won't have to worry about the Five Elements Spirit Stones when cultivating the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique. Next, all he needs to do is find some offensive techniques so that he will have some ability to protect himself in the event of a battle.

"I have a total of 200 jin of top-grade spiritual grain here. Can you all finish it?"

"200 catties of top-grade spiritual energy, that's quite a lot. It seems you are a master grower." A glint flashed in the eyes of the manager of Wufangzhai.

200 jin of top-grade spirit grain is no small sum; it's worth 1000 low-grade spirit stones. Even if you pay with five-element spirit stones, it will still cost 100.

"Fellow Daoist, we don't have that many Five Elements Spirit Stones in our shop. Please wait a moment, and I'll send someone to exchange them right away."

"No problem." Chen Huai'an nodded with a smile. He knew that Five Elements Spirit Stones were relatively rare, and ordinary shops did not have much of them in stock. Only the truly powerful forces would collect them.

Chen Huai'an waited for almost the time it takes to eat a meal before the manager of Wufangzhai finally brought him 100 low-grade Five Elements Spirit Stones.

"Fellow Daoist, if you grow this top-grade spirit grain in the future, you must trade it to me. I will also prepare the Five Elements Spirit Stones for you in advance," the shopkeeper said with a smile to Chen Huai'an.

"No problem. These top-grade spirit grains are all cultivated using secret methods. They require five elements of spirit stones to form an array and absorb the power of the five elements in order to nurture top-grade spirit grains. With your batch of five elements of spirit stones, it won't be long before I'm able to cultivate another batch of top-grade spirit grains," Chen Huai'an said with a smile.

After completing the transaction, Chen Huai'an did not linger at Wufangzhai and immediately got up to say goodbye and leave.

"Shopkeeper, this is top-grade spirit grain! This guy must have some secret technique to cultivate such a high-grade spirit grain. If we could master that technique, wouldn't we be able to cultivate top-grade spirit grain continuously?" After Chen Huai'an left, one of the shop assistants in Wufangzhai looked in the direction Chen Huai'an had gone and said.

"Do you think cultivating top-grade spirit grains is so easy? Even if we have the secret techniques, can you afford the cost? It takes five elemental spirit stones and secret techniques to cultivate top-grade spirit grains. Even if he can cultivate top-grade spirit grains using secret techniques, his profits are minimal. I estimate that his profits from cultivating top-grade spirit grains are less than ours." The shopkeeper was quite open-minded. Although he was also envious and wondered what method could be used to cultivate top-grade spirit grains, he knew that some things were acceptable and some were not. If it were truly possible to cultivate a large number of top-grade spirit grains, major families and powerful forces would have already started large-scale cultivation.

Top-grade spirit grains are simply unaffordable for ordinary people. This stuff is destined to only be sold to the high-end market, to some large families and powerful forces, and sales are exceptionally low.

The fact that this top-grade spirit grain requires five elemental spirit stones to cultivate is enough to discourage many people. Of course, these people have no idea that it is quite simple for Chen Huai'an to cultivate the top-grade spirit grain. He only needs to water it with spirit spring water. The cost is so low that it can be ignored.

"Now that the Five Elements Spirit Stones for cultivation are sorted out, the next step is to create two powerful spells. Ideally, they should be water-attribute spells, which will make watering the spirit grains much easier." Chen Huai'an had heard that spirit plant masters knew the art of summoning clouds and rain, which would make caring for the spirit grains much more convenient.

Otherwise, using this bucket to irrigate the spirit grain would not only be time-consuming, but also wouldn't yield much spirit grain. However, if he had this cloud-and-rain magic, it would save him a lot of manpower in terms of irrigation in the future.

However, these spells are very expensive, and one can only purchase them at a high price, or become an outer disciple to enter the Qingyun Sect's scripture pavilion.

Zayi Peak has a library, but it contains very few items. Chen Huai'an only has a few things that he finds appealing, and these items are essentially dispensable to him.

Now, what Chen Huai'an needs to do is acquire spells that can help him; he can't bite off more than he can chew.

His aptitude was not good to begin with. He spent a lot of time every day cultivating and refining pills and absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones. He simply didn't have any extra time to cultivate some random spells. Naturally, he could only pick out the important ones to cultivate.

After leaving Wufangzhai, Chen Huai'an strolled around Qingyunfang Market.

Because of his breakthrough to the Qi Refining Realm, his entire state of mind and mentality underwent a tremendous change. In this Qingyun Sect market, he now possessed a certain degree of self-protection. When he encountered those Qi Refining Realm Immortal Masters, he no longer needed to be subservient or worry about them suddenly launching an attack that would be detrimental to him.

At the end of Qingyunmen Market Street, a woman covered in blood mist carried a burly man on her back, pleading for help from everyone she saw.

"Brother, please help me, save my brother! My brother was injured by a monster. I'll do anything you ask if you're willing to save him."
