Chapter 118: New System Feature: Spirit Plant Repair
he first found a deserted alley, removed his disguise, and changed back into his own appearance. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Then he returned to his own courtyard.
He rested briefly,
and Lin Jing thought that since Huang Qingling and Elder Yu were both at the auction site, no one should bother him now.
So, he entered the System Space.
After the last harvest in the System Space, Lin Jing had planted another batch of Second Rank Spirit Plants just a few days later.
Learning from his previous experience, he deliberately left a patch of the Spirit Field empty, planting some First Rank low-level Spirit Plants,
so that if he encountered any Spirit Plants that required special growth environments again, he could replace them at any time without feeling distressed about the waste.
After that, Lin Jing took out the Biling Flower\'s rhizome and went to the first Spirit Field.
Elder Yu once said that you could find Biling Flowers deep in the Night Mist Mountain Range.
So, the environment it required should also belong to the Uninhabited Mountains.
With that thought, Lin Jing simply dug a hole and planted it in the first Spirit Field.
However, as soon as the Biling Flower was planted, a system prompt sounded.
"System prompt: Detected that the host has planted a damaged Spirit Plant rhizome. New feature \'Spirit Plant Repair\' is now available."
Spirit Plant Repair: Can repair damaged Spirit Plants. Repairing requires spending Harvest Points. (Note: Check the Spirit Plant\'s status to choose to repair.)
"There\'s a new feature again..."
Lin Jing thought to himself.
"System, check the Spirit Plant\'s status."
Then, Lin Jing summoned the system and started checking the current status of the Biling Flower.
Immediately, some information appeared.
"Biling Flower Rhizome (Damaged): Slightly damaged and cannot grow normally; self-repair is in progress—5 years, 2 months, 11 days."
"Note: You can use Harvest Points to repair it prematurely. Repair required: 5 Harvest Points."
5 Harvest Points wasn\'t much; to use 5 Harvest Points in exchange for 5 years of growth time was quite worth it.
"System, repair the Biling Flower Rhizome."
Lin Jing spoke.
As soon as Lin Jing\'s voice fell, the system prompt sounded.
"System prompt: Repairing Biling Flower Rhizome, deducting 5 Harvest Points. Current Harvest Points remaining: 6 Harvest Points."
After the Alchemy Room was upgraded, only 1 Harvest Point was left.
Fortunately, this morning, before Huang Qingling arrived, Lin Jing refined another Pure Accumulation Pill and gained another 10 Harvest Points,
otherwise, there wouldn\'t have been enough Harvest Points to use.
Lin Jing then checked the status of the Biling Flower rhizome again.
"Biling Flower: Current environment matches; fast growth in progress. Time left until maturity: 10 years."
The Biling Flower, like the Prolonging Youth Fruit Tree, also took ten years to grow.
Now that the Biling Flower rhizome was planted, Lin Jing was relieved.
After that, Lin Jing left the System Space.
Since he had been refining elixirs intermittently from last night until this morning,
and then he attended the auction,
he hadn\'t had time to sit quietly and recover, so he wasn\'t in very good condition. Lin Jing decided to meditate and recover before doing anything else.
Afterward, Lin Jing sat down cross-legged and began to meditate to recover.
But just at that moment,
"Knock, knock, knock"
a series of knocking sounds arose.
Lin Jing immediately became puzzled, wondering who it could be at this time?
He knew Huang Qingling and Elder Yu were at the auction, and logically, no one should be visiting at this time.
As Lin Jing was pondering,
a very pleasant voice came from outside the door.
"Lin Jing, open the door."
Listening to the voice, it was actually Huang Qingling. Lin Jing didn\'t know how she had come back, but despite his curiosity, he went to open it.
Upon opening the courtyard door, sure enough, Huang Qingling was standing there, looking as lovely as ever.
"Qing Ling, didn\'t you go to the auction? How come you\'re back so soon?"
"Could it be that the auction has already ended?"
"No, I came back early," Huang Qingling said.
"Let me tell you, there were many interesting events at the auction today..."
As she spoke, Huang Qingling stepped into the courtyard.
Lin Jing followed after her, closing the courtyard door, and the two of them went to the center of the yard together.
"By the way, do you have any tea here? Brew a pot, I\'m a bit thirsty after coming back from the auction hall," she said.
"We can drink while I tell you about it..."
Huang Qingling continued, making her way to sit down in the pavilion.
"Tea? Yes..."
"It\'s the Spiritual Tea you got from Elder Bai last time; I haven\'t touched it," Lin Jing said.
In fact, this Spiritual Tea was secretly taken by Huang Qingling from Elder Bai, who said it was beneficial for cultivation and also had a calming effect.
Elder Bai was accustomed to this and didn\'t make much of it.
After that, Lin Jing went inside, took out a set of tea tools, and placed them on the table in the middle of the pavilion, before saying to Huang Qingling:
"But you\'ll have to wait for a bit; boiling the tea will take some time."
As he spoke, Lin Jing picked up the teapot, intending to head to the kitchen.
"What a hassle..."
Huang Qingling pursed her lips and then continued:
"Here, let me..."
Huang Qingling reached out her hand. Not knowing what she had in mind, Lin Jing still handed over the teapot.
Huang Qingling took the teapot and directly conjured water with Spiritual Energy to fill it.
This ability to transform Spiritual Energy into water was just one of the uses of Spiritual Power and didn\'t require cultivation to perform.
Lin Jing was naturally capable of it, but he wasn\'t as impressive as Huang Qingling, who filled the teapot in an instant.
"Watch closely..."
Then a ball of flame emerged from Huang Qingling\'s hand. This flame was incredibly hot, and Lin Jing could clearly feel it.
Moreover, this was not a flame-related spell, but True Fire, which only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator possessed.
The teapot then levitated, and the ball of flame flew beneath it.
With one above and one below, Huang Qingling began to heat the water.
What normally took the time of half an incense stick, in Huang Qingling\'s hands took merely the duration of a single cup of tea, and the water was already boiling.
"The tea leaves..."
Huang Qingling withdrew the flame and placed the teapot onto the table.
"They\'re in that box," Lin Jing pointed to a small wooden box on the tea table.
Huang Qingling didn\'t speak. She opened the box, pinched some tea leaves, and placed them in the teapot.
"Do you feel it? This is True Fire, unique to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and it\'s also a prerequisite for refining Third Rank Elixir Medicines," Huang Qingling said, looking at Lin Jing.
"I\'m well aware of that," Lin Jing replied.
Upon reaching Foundation Establishment, one could condense internal True Fire for one\'s own use. This True Fire was extraordinary, far more powerful than ordinary mortal fire. It was essential for both alchemy and artifact refining.
For instance, Third Rank Elixir Medicines could not be refined using mortal fire; it required True Fire for the process.
Of course...
Should one cultivate to the Golden Core Stage, the True Fire would also evolve alongside the cultivator, becoming the Elixir Fire wielded by a Golden Core Cultivator.
Elixir Fire was far more formidable than True Fire; should a Foundation Establishment Cultivator accidentally encounter it, they would surely perish upon touch.
However, at the Golden Core level, with a variety of offensive techniques and numerous Magical Treasures, Elixir Fire naturally became more of a supporting method.
