I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 350: Chapter 216: Tier Five Spirit Plants (2)

The Jade-Eyed Six-Armed Ape didn’t understand what politeness was. It grabbed dozens of spirit pills and spirit medicines useful to it and looked at Li Mu, asking, ”Master, can I take these?”

”Hmm! Take whatever is useful to you. By the way, you need a new name with this image. From now on, you’ll be called Xiaoliu!” Li Mu nodded with a smile, teasing the Jade-Eyed Six-Armed Ape.

”No, please! That name’s awful. Master, please continue calling me Arm Reach!” The Jade-Eyed Six-Armed Ape pleaded with a bitter face.

”It’s okay if you don’t like it. Let me send you into the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet to heal. Also, make sure to supervise Xiaojin and Xiaowa. Those two have consumed Blood Purifying Reishi and haven’t finished absorbing it yet!” Li Mu smiled and gestured to the Jade-Eyed Six-Armed Ape.

”Hmm, I’ll ensure they promote soon!” The Jade-Eyed Six-Armed Ape’s eyes brightened, and its eyes spun around, thinking of ways to mess with its two little brothers.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly, immediately understanding its plan, happy to see it succeed. With its stimulation, Xiaojin and Xiaowa might promote sooner.

After speaking, Li Mu waved his hand and put the Jade-Eyed Six-Armed Ape into the space of the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet.

Both Xiaojin and Xiaowa ate a Tier Five Blood Purifying Reishi. For those at only Tier Four Peak, consuming high-tier spirit medicine has been arduous and has been continuously refining medicinal power, refining their bloodline, going through hardship all this time.

After Xiaojin and Xiaowa finish refining the Blood Purifying Reishi, if they still can’t promote to Tier Five, Li Mu has a lot of Profound Celestial Beast Transformation Pills prepared for them.

When they all reach Tier Five, now only a wood element demon beast is needed to complete the Five Elements Beast Taming. Then refining lifebound spiritual treasures for them and teaching them the Five Elements Array Formation, with their cooperation, even against Void Refining Cultivators, Li Mu will have the confidence to fight.

Sending away the Jade-Eyed Six-Armed Ape, Li Mu continued to handle the matters of spirit plant cultivation.

Cultivating various spirit plants is fundamental to Li Mu’s cultivation and cannot be relaxed for a moment.

Returning to Yin Yang Valley, aside from Artifact Refining, Li Mu spends most of his time opening up spirit fields and planting spirit plants.

Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus, Golden Origin Spirit Fruit, Earth Dragon Spirit Ginseng... these Tier Four Five Elements Spirit Plants are supplemented with hundreds of Moxing and Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng, Yin Soul Fruit, two kinds of Yin Yang Spirit Plants.

This time attending the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion auction, and harvests from the Kun Family, gaining a large number of Tier Four Five Elements Spirit Plants, Yin Yang Spirit Plants, Li Mu also obtained many Tier Five spirit plant seeds, such as- Tier Five Bodhi Spirit Flower, Tier Five Moxing Spirit Grass, Tier Five Mist Void Spirit Grass, ....

Tier Five Spirit Plants have harsh environmental requirements for growth, which the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion cannot entirely meet, but some special conditions can be created.

For example: Tier Five Bodhi Spirit Flower, besides requiring a lot of spiritual power, normal growth requires a companion Bodhi Wood of the same tier.

And for example: Tier Five Moxing Spirit Grass needs an environment to long-term absorb starlight. A Star and Moon Radiance Array can be arranged in the external world to satisfy this. Within the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, one can only invest heavily, purchasing large amounts of Tier Five Star Meteorites to arrange a Starlight Array, consuming precious refining materials to meet its needs.

These high-tier spirit plants not only require harsh conditions for planting but also take a long time to grow.

Li Mu now has the ’financial resources’ and is curious about what kind of plant spirits these Tier Five Spirit Plants can provide when they mature, and whether they can enhance his spiritual energy, enlightenment, or talent.

Visiting the Kun Family this time opened Li Mu’s eyes.

Relying on the Plant Spirit Absorption innate divine technique, Li Mu grew rapidly without deep learning, solely relying on cultivation techniques gained from level upgrades, without personal contemplation.

After exchanging views with Tianshang Supreme, Li Mu was deeply shocked.

Previously, Li Mu had overlooked many things like Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, Puppet carving, Array Formation, but after this exchange, he had new discoveries.

Due to limitations in talent, innate ability, or enlightenment, Li Mu couldn’t fully grasp the core elements.

Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, Puppet carving, Array Formation,... These Hundred Cultivation Arts all follow the operating principle of spiritual qi. Whether artifact patterns, talisman patterns, puppet patterns, or array patterns, they all operate through a similar power of Dao Rhyme Law.

Li Mu understands these techniques and appears to be quite good at them, but he cannot delve into them.

Li Mu felt like a primary school student forcibly infused with high school knowledge, able to produce small items using this knowledge but unable to integrate and understand the most fundamental and crucial knowledge.

This might be the gap between a genius and a mortal. Li Mu sighed worriedly, fearing later on, due to insufficient talent, the absorption of spirit plants might not help in advancing cultivation like how Artifact Refining Technique, Array Formation, and Talisman Making Technique are stuck at Level Five.

Thus, high-tier spirit plants must be cultivated regardless of duration or cost. Absorbing plant spirits from high-tier spirit plants may give him a surprise, allowing him to cross this high threshold.

Thinking of this, Li Mu became motivated, immediately taking action to start inventorying and collecting spirit plant seeds, from easy to hard, carefully arranging the planting plan.

Without checking, one would be unaware, and upon checking, it was surprising. Unknowingly, Li Mu had collected hundreds of Tier Four and Five spirit plants, some gifted by the Qing Xuan Sect, some obtained from Tianyan Divine Monarch’s spirit seed warehouse, and some from spoils with demon cultivators, ..., and so forth. There were a total of forty-six types of Tier Five Spirit Plant Seeds, some with more, some with less, with a minimum of one spirit seed and a maximum of over ten acres of spirit seeds.

The forty-six types of Tier Five Spirit Plants, the least demanding are: Tier Five White Jade Spirit Luminous, Tier Five Mist Void Spirit Vine, Tier Five Bodhi Spirit Flower, ....

The Tier Five Bodhi Spirit Flower had the most seeds, totaling ten acres. Li Mu waved his hand and took out a White Jade Box from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, opened the lid, revealing the green spirit seeds the size of peanuts.

[Bodhi Spirit Flower]

[Grade: Tier Five Spirit Plant]

[Attributes: Bodhi Calm Heart, Inspiration Fried Association, Spiritual Calmness, Wisdom and Spirit Gathering, Dao Principle Threads]

[Status: Spiritual Fullness, Fruit Awaiting Nurture]

[Bodhi Spirit Flower, a spirit plant accompanies Tier Five Bodhi Wood. Growth conditions: ample spiritual power, abundant seed power, requires Bodhi Wood as a companion spirit plant, takes twenty years to root, fifty years to mature, a hundred years to bear Bodhi Fruit, and the fifty-year medicinal Bodhi Spirit Flower is one of the main ingredients in refining Wisdom Heart Pill, with Bodhi Fruit being the primary material in refining Tier Five Bodhi Pill and Spiritual Essence Pill.]

With innate divine power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, Li Mu understood the cultivation conditions of Bodhi Spirit Flower, and compared to other Tier Five Spirit Plants, the requirements are extremely low, only needing a companion Bodhi Wood.

Next, Li Mu took out a black cloth bag containing spirit seeds, roughly a hundred or so.

Li Mu slightly opened the bag’s mouth, revealing the white spirit seeds with silver star points, the size of a thumb. Perhaps due to storing too long, the spirit seed’s status showed some wilting and decay.

Li Mu frowned, tensely checking each spirit seed’s status one by one.

[White Jade Spirit Luminous]

[Grade: Tier Five Spirit Plant]

[Attributes: Spirit of Exquisite, Star Points Charm, Extreme Essence Spirit Juice, Grows towards the sun, Spiritual Elegance]

[Status: Slightly damaged spiritual energy, will lose seed power if un-nurtured for ten years]

[White Jade Spirit Luminous, a Tier Five spirit plant, growth conditions: pure spiritual power, requires Tier Five Celestial Rhinoceros Earth, nourished with Tier Five Spirit Jade Marrow Liquid to grow, with a thirty-year seedling stage, eighty-year mature stage, two hundred years to bear White Jade Spirit Cage Fruit, the White Jade Spirit Cage Fruit being the primary material in refining Tier Six Seven-Aperture Exquisite Pill.]

With innate divine power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, Li Mu acquired all attribute information of White Jade Spirit Luminous.

A total of one hundred seventy-eight White Jade Spirit Luminous seeds, both Tier Five materials are relatively common, they can probably be gathered with a trip to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Tier Five Spirit Seeds belong to high-tier spirit plants, with rare quantity, and planting difficulties, hence, these spirit seeds have not undergone ’castration’.

If successful plantation and after maturity, Li Mu can mass propagate using fruit seeds, thereby entering a virtuous cycle, no longer troubled by spirit seed collection matters.

...

Li Mu took out Tier Five spirit plant seeds one by one, examining their attribute information, growth environment demands, and maturity times.

After selection, Li Mu finally picked seven types of Tier Five spirit plants most suited for planting, preparing to set up growth environments for them in the upcoming period.
