Chapter 221 - 221: 213: 5 Years Later
To make a huge impact on He Song’s future cultivation progress, he has to make a well-considered choice.
Refining spirit puppets while selecting the spiritual plants he needs to cultivate in his memory.
He Song quickly became immersed in these two tasks.
As for spiritual plants,
He Song now no longer needs to focus on their short-term gains like he used to.
Having already established Foundation Establishment, and with sufficient lifespan, he can now explain his reasons for longevity even if it appears unusual.
Foundation Establishment Masters have a lifespan of two hundred years, If one takes many Longevity Elixirs, precious spirit medicines, and tries all ways to increase lifespan, one can live for an extra hundred years.
That is, three hundred years,
If on this basis, one has an extraordinary fortune and takes some heavenly materials, the maximum lifespan could be extended by another fifty years, reaching as much as three hundred and fifty years.
It should be noted,
A Golden Elixir Master in the initial breakthrough could live up to five hundred years, and would need to take Longevity Elixirs and precious spirit medicines afterward to have an even longer lifespan.
A lifespan of three hundred and fifty years can already cover the rise and fall cycle of a dynasty.
For this reason,
He Song’s cultivation of spiritual plants no longer needs to focus on their short-term gains.
Instead, he can set his sights a little further in the future.
Under the cover of the Small Spirit-Gathering Array, the Smoke Array, and the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array, He Song’s spirit field or medicine garden can naturally be protected.
Under such circumstances, He Song’s choice of spiritual plants for his own cultivation will naturally no longer be ordinary spirit rice like in the past.
Soon,
He Song selected some spirit medicines he thought could be cultivated.
“Earth Spirit Ginseng, the main medicine for refining Earth Spirit Elixirs, matures in ten years.”
“Green Spirit Fruit, one of the main medicines for refining Detoxification Elixirs, matures in ten years.”
“Spirit Guardian Fruit, the main medicine for refining Spirit Guardian Elixirs, matures in twenty years.”
“Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass, its juice can poison Foundation Establishment cultivators, and one would die in three days without an antidote, matures in ten years.”
“Exorcism Flower, the main medicine for refining various healing elixirs, matures in ten years.”
Earth Spirit Ginseng refined into Earth Spirit Elixirs is a common elixir used for cultivation practice by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
He Song himself practices Thick Earth Formulas, and his best Spirit Root is of the earth attribute, so his demand for Earth Spirit Elixirs is naturally not small. He is cultivating Earth Spirit Ginseng to try his hand at elixir refinement,
To see if he can refine the Earth Spirit Ginseng into Earth Spirit Elixirs.
If successful,
He could become an elixir refinement master,
and maximize the value of Earth Spirit Ginseng, no longer selling spirit grass, but rather elixirs.
By then, his personal safety would be assured with the status of an elixir refinement master,
At least, he won’t be sent to dangerous places, or be assigned to extremely dangerous tasks.
Green Spirit Fruit, refined into Detoxification Elixirs, is used by cultivators to clear elixir poison from their bodies.
It can quickly remove elixir poison from a cultivator’s body.
For He Song, who likes to seclude himself in cultivation, the presence of Detoxification Elixirs can speed up his progress a lot.
This is a common elixir for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Spirit Guardian Fruit, refined into Spirit Guardian Elixirs, is used by cultivators to enhance their divine sense strength.
After taking Spirit Guardian Elixirs, cultivators’ divine sense strength would increase slightly, and they would be stronger than those who have not taken Spirit Guardian Elixirs.
Although this increase is not significant, Spirit Guardian Elixirs can be taken many times.
After taking dozens of them, a cultivator’s divine sense strength may be several times stronger than those who have never taken Spirit Guardian Elixirs.
In this way, one would naturally possess an advantage when using Divine Sense Attack Skills.
Although removing the elixir poison after taking Spirit Guardian Elixirs requires some time, the effect of increasing divine sense strength is highly sought after by countless people.
Spirit Guardian Fruit takes a full twenty years to fully mature.
Of the plants he cultivated, it is the most time-consuming spiritual plant.
However, its value is also considerable, so He Song decided to plant some after considering it.
Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass,
To others, it may seem worthless and even avoided at all costs.
But for He Song,
This Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass is one of the important means when encountering danger outside.
When confronting an enemy,
Taking advantage of the unprepared, splash the juice of Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass on the opponent, most likely the opponent’s combat power will directly drop significantly, or even flee from the poison.
At that time, He Song would have the upper hand,
Whether it is chasing or escaping, everything will be determined by He Song.
Exorcism Flower,
This flower is cultivated by He Song for the purpose of being sold for spirit stones.
This kind of spirit flower has a very powerful healing effect and can even remove some common poisons.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators, healing elixirs refined with Exorcism Flowers are essential when going out.
However, due to the cultivation of Exorcism Flowers at the same time as planting Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass, He Song has a better understanding of the toxicity and healing effects of these two spiritual plants.
Exorcism Flower cannot neutralize the poison of Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass.
This is also the reason why He Song chose Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass as one of his means.
Healing elixirs made with Exorcism Flowers are quite popular, and are essential healing elixirs for Foundation Establishment cultivators when going out.
However, in the face of Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass, a poisonous plant specialized in poisoning, they seem somewhat powerless.
The most important thing about Exorcism Flower is its healing effect rather than detoxification effect.
The toxin from the Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass is extremely potent, and it would be very difficult to detoxify without an antidote within a short period of time.
After selecting all the spiritual plants he needed to cultivate.
He Song put down his work and went on a special trip. Not far from the Herbs Immortal Workshop, he personally opened several Medicine Gardens in a group of mountains.
And he used Array Skills to hide these Medicine Gardens.
Having done all these preparations.
He Song went to Jade Immortal City and bought some Spiritual Plant Seeds he needed.
Thus.
The preparation work for planting these spiritual plants.
Was naturally completed.
Next.
He just needs to wait for the spirit Qi in the Medicine Garden to become more concentrated, and transform the land inside the garden into a spirit field, after which he could begin planting the seeds.
However, while waiting for the land to turn into a spirit field, He Song was not idle.
On the contrary, he was constantly refining spirit puppets.
Learning skills.
Studying array methods.
And so on.
Time flies.
Years passed by.
In the blink of an eye.
He Song had practiced in the small Herbs Immortal Workshop for a full five years.
During these five years.
He Song ran the Thick Earth Formulas every day, continuously absorbing spirit Qi from the outside world, allowing the mana in his Elixir Field to become more and more abundant.
While he was continuously running the cultivation skill, absorbing spirit Qi, and increasing mana in his body.
His cultivation also began to step by step approach the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
For He Song, as well as most cultivators.
Cultivation.
Is accumulated bit by bit.
Now, after accumulating for five years, He Song’s body had more and more mana stored up.
Five years passed.
He Song’s mana inside his body had increased a lot compared to five years ago.
His strength also underwent quite a significant change as a result.
The increase of mana in the body can greatly affect a cultivator’s manipulation of Artifacts, even the casting of spells.
Now.
He Song sensed the surging mana in his body and secretly calculated. “I should break through the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment in a few years.”
“But I don’t know which year.”
“Should I hide my cultivation level after breaking through the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment?”
“It should be quite normal to hide one realm of cultivation, right?”
“Wait until I reach the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, then tell others I’m already in the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.”
“In this way, I might be able to deceive some people who are looking for trouble.”
With various thoughts flashing in his mind, He Song decided to think about this after breaking through.
As for now.
He Song looked into the distance, recalling everything he had done in these five years.
Over the five years.
He Song did quite a lot of things.
And each one was closely related to him.
He had opened up five Medicine Gardens, separately planting Earth Spirit Ginseng, Green Spirit Fruit, Spirit Guardian Fruit, Poisonous Dragon Spirit Grass, and Exorcism Flower in them.
In addition, there was a ten-acre spirit field where he planted spirit rice, which cultivators in the Foundation Establishment realm usually consumed to increase their mana.
Such spirit rice was slightly different from the previous spirit rice planted by He Song.
It was named Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice.
Once it matures, it will be larger in size, and the spirit Qi contained in it will be denser.
It got its name because it looks like a dragon’s tooth.
According to the cultivation method He Song has studied, Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice needs to grow in a land with dense spirit Qi for five years to mature, and the yield per acre is only about one thousand jin per acre.
This yield is similar to the yield of ordinary spirit rice.
However, because it takes five years to mature, the annual output of Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice is very low.
The seeds of this Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice were obtained by He Song through a chance encounter in Jade Immortal City, and he had not seen anyone else selling them.
To not attract others’ covetousness.
After He Song had obtained some Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice seeds through a chance encounter, he did not plan to plant them on a large scale.
Instead, he only opened up ten acres of spirit fields, planting some Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice for his consumption to increase his cultivation speed.
Such a good thing.
It’s best for him to enjoy by himself.
If he sold it, he might attract others’ covetousness.
At that time, it might cause big trouble.
Now.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
Three years ago, after the land had turned into a spirit field and Medicine Garden in two years, He Song planted some Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice.
Now, only three years have passed, and it’s still far from being ripe enough for harvest.
And so.
Although He Song had already planted spirit rice and the spirit medicines he had chosen before,
His life remained largely unchanged..
