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

The Zhang family, a family of cultivators!

"Zhang Mu is actually dead." An elder from the Zhang family, who was at the Qi Refining Realm, said in a deep voice. This person was none other than Zhang Mu's father.

Because Zhang Mu had already broken through to the late stage of Body Refinement, the Zhang family used his life essence to refine a life-saving jade pendant. This jade pendant could withstand an ordinary attack from a Qi Refining Realm cultivator. If he died, his direct blood relatives would sense it.

This is a tactic used by some large cultivation families to protect their core disciples.

At that moment, Zhang Mu suddenly died tragically, and they received the news immediately.

"Zhang Mu is currently at Qingyun Sect. His sudden demise means the culprit must still be there. This matter must be thoroughly investigated so that Qingyun Sect can give us an explanation. In less than a month, our Zhang family has lost three promising talents. Zhang Mu had the potential to become an outer disciple, or even an inner disciple. Such a genius cannot be sacrificed in vain," another elder of the Zhang family said.

"I will summon Zhang Tao and the others and order them to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out who the murderer is." Zhang's father's eyes revealed a murderous intent.

……

The Qingyun Sect didn't know about Zhang Mu's tragic death immediately; the Zhang family was the first to find out, and they contacted their disciples at the Qingyun Sect the very next day to handle the matter.

Chen Huai'an, however, knew absolutely nothing about this matter.

Now that he has shed his shackles and no longer needs to hide his abilities, his speed in carrying water is incredibly fast.

After finishing the work, I immediately returned to my residence and then entered the space.

"What's going on? Could it be that this space has the effect of accelerating time?" Chen Huai'an entered the space and discovered a problem: the spiritual grains he had planted some time ago were growing too fast. In just a few days, they were almost ripe.

Chen Huai'an had inquired about planting spirit grains and learned that they would take a year to mature. However, his spirit grains were about to mature in just a few days. This couldn't be due to the effects of the spirit spring water; it must be because the time ratio in the space was different.

But that doesn't make sense. Sometimes he stays in the space for most of the day, and nothing unusual happens to him. He doesn't feel that time flows faster in the space than outside, nor does a day in the space feel like several days outside.

Chen Huai'an guessed that there was only one possibility for this to happen: there must be something wrong with the flow of time in this space, but it was only the plants that were affected, not living beings like him.

Only in this way can it be explained.

Even if we don't say that one day is equivalent to a year, or that one day is equivalent to several months of crop growth in the outside world, it is still an incredibly miraculous thing.

In this way, the medicinal herbs he planted a few days ago will grow into spiritual herbs in a few months.

However, he is still exploring the rules of this space and has not yet fully figured them out.

For example, the last time he secretly saved the spiritual fruits he hadn't eaten from the Wanbao Pavilion, he also brought them into his space. However, after a few days, the spiritual fruits were still the same as when they were first put in. They didn't evolve into low-grade or mid-grade spiritual fruits as he had imagined.

As for the medicinal herbs that were planted, they were indeed changing every day, but he wasn't very knowledgeable about spiritual herbs, so he didn't know how old they were.

"It seems I'll have to read more books about spiritual plants when I have time. It's a pity that Qingyun Sect's Miscellaneous Service Peak has such a place, but you need contribution points to enter and borrow books. I need to find a way to get more sect contribution points." Chen Huai'an looked at the spiritual grains that were about to ripen. He had something to do today. He had to harvest these ripe spiritual grains and also study how this space could accelerate the growth of these spiritual plants.

If it's really as he guessed, then he should hurry up and learn more about planting and maintaining spiritual plants, and make good use of the space.

Chen Huai'an had heard that high-level cultivators needed medicinal herbs that were decades or even centuries old.

He couldn't possibly wait until he broke through to a higher realm and needed to cultivate spiritual herbs, because that would take a lot of time. If he planned ahead now, he would never have to worry about high-level spiritual herbs in the future.

While observing the Spirit Valley, Chen Huai'an built a simple dwelling in the space using some firewood and branches he had cut earlier.

If the flow of time inside the space is different from that outside, wouldn't it speed up his cultivation if he cultivates inside?

If you lack talent, make up for it with time and resources.

Right now, Chen Huai'an has no shortage of cultivation resources. The spirit stones and pills he has are enough to allow him to cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm without any problem.

For cultivators, refining qi is not the end, but the beginning.

These disciples who perform menial tasks on the Menial Peak strive to break through to the Qi Refining Realm.

Like that old man Li, without cultivation resources, he would probably never break through to the Qi Refining Realm before he died.

Chen Huai'an didn't want to end up like Old Man Li, so he had to work even harder to cultivate and break through to a higher realm.

After the house was built, Chen Huai'an began to busy himself with harvesting the spirit grain.

Because he hadn't expected the spirit rice to ripen so quickly, Chen Huai'an hadn't prepared any tools for harvesting it. He was only using a dagger to cut the rice, which made him very inefficient.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was there; he was at the fifth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm. He was like a tireless machine, desperately harvesting rice.

After harvesting half of the rice, he left the space because he needed to complete his water-carrying task before he could enter the space to cultivate.

Of course, in order to collect the spirit grains, he needed to find some tools. He didn't need a sickle for harvesting the spirit grains for the time being, but he had to prepare bags for storing the spirit grains. He couldn't just leave them scattered in the space; that would be too messy.

Furthermore, now that the spirit grain has matured, she must find a way to process it into spirit rice. This absolutely requires a stone mill to remove the husks and eat the pure white spirit rice.

Body tempering and refining the physical body requires qi and blood, and spiritual grains can effectively replenish qi and blood, and also improve cultivation level.

The spirit grains grown in this space are of a very high grade, even higher than the spirit grains he bought in the Qingyun Gate market, reaching the highest grade.

He had never even heard of top-grade spirit grains in the market, let alone bought them. Even if you had spirit stones, you might not be able to buy them.

Chen Huai'an filled the two large water vats in less than half a day, and the disciples who were carrying water also worked hard to carry water, and their work efficiency was much higher than before, which was something that Manager Wu had not expected.

What Chen Huai'an didn't know was that Old Man Li had been looking for an opportunity to cause trouble for Chen Huai'an and teach him a lesson while he was fetching water today. However, he had finished his water-fetching task without seeing Chen Huai'an, which made him feel very frustrated and angry.

"Damn brat, this guy is deliberately hiding from me. Does he really think that just because he's hiding from me, I can't cause him any trouble?" Old Li said viciously, looking at Chen Huai'an's room.
