Ling Yunhong's Two Natal Spirit Plants

He opened his mouth and summoned a Second Rank Low Grade spiritual herb and a First-Tier Superior-Grade spiritual ginseng from his Dantian.

Both of these Spirit Plant are Ling Yunhong's Natal Spirit Plant. The one with a grade of Second Rank Low Grade is called "Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass". This grass belongs to the water element and its only function is to store a large amount of pure Water Spiritual Energy.

Although this herb is currently only of the second-tier low-grade, which is only corresponding to early Foundation Establishment cultivators, the spiritual power contained within it is enough to fill seventy percent of the spiritual power in Ling Yunhong's dantian in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in an instant.

Afterwards, the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass can also absorb Spiritual Qi on its own to accumulate spiritual power and restore the consumed spiritual power.

Back when Ling Yunhong progressed from the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, it was thanks to the spiritual energy feedback from this herb when he entered the Foundation Establishment stage from the Qi Training Stage that he was able to break through in a short period of time.

That First-Tier Superior-Grade spiritual ginseng is called "Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng," and this ginseng is far superior to Healing Pill of the same grade in terms of healing.

As Ling Yunhong's Natal Spirit Plant, when Ling Yunhong, as its Master, wants to use this ginseng to heal his injuries, he does not need to swallow it directly like he would with ordinary healing herbs.

Instead, it allows the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng perform the "Nine Curves Healing Technique" to treat injuries.

Furthermore, this ginseng can be reused, but after each use of the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng Nine Curves Healing Technique, there will be a period of weakness.

Both the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass and the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng are rare and precious Spirit Plant in the Cultivation World.

Otherwise, Ling Yunhong would not have refined these two Spirit Plant as his Natal Spirit Plant.

Once these two Natal Spirit Plant were taken out, Ling Yunhong, relying on the connection between himself and them, gave instructions.

"Mobilize an appropriate amount of Yi Wood Essence that will not hinder your own cultivation progress and inject it into that Stone Spirit Walnut Tree to calm the large amount of unrefined and violent Spiritual Qi absorbed by the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree."

The Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass and the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng were very obedient, and immediately did as Ling Yunhong instructed.

Because of his higher cultivation level, the former sent out a hundred strands of Yi Wood Essence into the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree.

Because of its weaker cultivation, the latter only sent out sixty strands of Yi Wood Essence into the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree.

The Yi Wood Essence is the essence of a Spirit Plant throughout its entire life.

It not only contains pure spiritual power, but also has a strong affinity. Like the Jia Wood Spiritual Energy, it can calm the turbulent Spiritual Qi.

It was precisely because of this effect that after the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass and the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng transferred more than 160 strands of Yi Wood Essence into the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree, the pressure on the Stone Forest Walnut Tree to frantically absorb the violent Spiritual Qi entering its body from the mountain using its own Jia Wood Essence was reduced by one point.

This also indirectly accelerated the speed at which the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree refined and absorbed the violent Spiritual Qi into its body.

With a great deal of gentle support, the green spiritual light shimmering on the fifty-eight Stone Spirit Walnut on the tree became increasingly dazzling, and their aura grew stronger.

The Yi Wood Essence, which was transferred into the body of the Stone Spirit Walnut by the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass and the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, was the foundation of both of them. The large amount of Yi Wood Essence leaving their bodies also made them somewhat weak, and the spiritual light that shimmered around them dimmed a bit.

Seeing the condition of his two Natal Spirit Plant, Ling Yunhong frowned, then looked up at the fifty-eight First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut on the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree that were breaking through their cultivation realm, and muttered to himself.

"Even with the help of the Liquid Spiritual Power in my Dantian, it will probably take two or three years to recover the Yi Wood Essence consumed by the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass and the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng this time."

"In the next two or three years, the efficacy of both will probably be reduced to only 70% of what it was when it was at its peak, due to the excessive consumption of the Yi Wood Essence."

"If fewer than thirty of the fifty-eight First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut that are currently breaking through to the second tier reach the second tier, then we will have suffered a huge loss this time."

With a sigh, Ling Yunhong waved his hand and put the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass and Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, whose Yi Wood Essence had been greatly depleted, back into his Dantian. He sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes, using the Liquid Spiritual Power in his Dantian to nourish the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass and Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, so as to help them recover the Yi Wood Essence they had consumed as soon as possible.

Three days later, when the Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut Tree stopped frantically absorbing Spiritual Qi into its body and using its massive internal Jia Wood Power to refine the Spiritual Qi, the abnormal activity ceased.

Of the fifty-eight First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut Stone Spirit Walnut grew on the tree, thirty-three of them had reached the second-grade level, while the other twenty-five First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut failed to break through and remained at the First-Tier Superior-Grade.

The twenty-five First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut that failed to break through were not harmed by the backlash due to the large amount of Jia Wood Spiritual Energy within the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree.

On the contrary, the spiritual energy contained within its body is more concentrated than that of a typical First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut.

Ling Yunhong, who had been guarding the place for the past three days, was overjoyed to see that the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree had successfully broken through to the second level with thirty-three Stone Spirit Walnut.

"There are three more Stone Spirit Walnut than expected that could successfully break through to the second tier, which is a good thing."

"Of these thirty-three Stone Spirit Walnut, after deducting the twenty that need to be handed over to the other four Foundation Establishment Family of Huai River County who found this tree together, there are still thirteen Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut left."

"With the help of these thirteen Stone Spirit Walnut, my breakthrough from the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer is a sure thing."

Thinking this way, Ling Yunhong's face lit up with even more joy.

With his thoughts returning, he summoned the fifty-eight Spirit-Locking Jade Box he had prepared beforehand from his Storage Bag, picked all fifty-eight Stone Spirit Walnut from the Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut Tree, and stored them in the fifty-eight Spirit-Locking Jade Box.

The thirty-three Stone Spirit Walnut that have successfully broken through to the Second Rank Low Grade realm have reached their growth limit. They can remain on the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree, but if the thirty-three spiritual fruits want to break through their grade, the only way is for the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree to enter the Second Grade Middle Rank.

As for the twenty-five First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut, although they did not succeed in breaking through this time, they also benefited from the misfortune. With the help of the Jia Wood Essence in the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree, their spiritual power was several times stronger than that of ordinary First-Tier Superior-Grade spiritual fruits.

However, nearly half of the Jia Wood Power within that Stone Spirit Walnut Tree had been consumed due to the Stone Spirit Walnut's breakthrough this time.

Even if those twenty-five First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut were left on the tree, it would still take decades for the Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut Tree to absorb Spiritual Qi and restore its own Jia Wood Power before it could make a breakthrough.

Decades is a long time; it is more than enough for an ordinary First Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut to become First-Tier Superior-Grade.

Rather than leaving those twenty-five First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut to absorb the nutrients of the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree, it's better to pick them.

After Ling Yunhong put all fifty-eight Stone Spirit Walnut he had picked into the Spirit-Locking Jade Box, he cast a Cloud Rain Technique, sending down Spirit Rain to nourish the Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut Tree.

They then used a Ripening Technique on it to accelerate the tree's growth.

Although the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree has no concept of age, in terms of cultivation level, it can accelerate its growth with the help of the Lingxiao Ripening Technique, and the tree can also absorb Spiritual Qi more quickly.

The longer a tree-like Spirit Plant lives, the faster it absorbs Spiritual Qi. This is a unique "annual ring" cultivation method unique to tree-like Spirit Plant.

After Ling Yunhong finished using the two Spirit Plant Secret Method, Cloud Rain Technique and Lingxiao Ripening Technique, he looked at the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree with a hint of regret in his eyes.

"If this tree were my Natal Spirit Plant, that would be good. Otherwise, I could rely on this tree to break through to the Second Rank Low Grade aptitude on my own. With my nurturing it in my Dantian, this tree could probably reach the Second Grade Middle Rank within a hundred years."

"Once this tree reaches the Second Grade Middle Rank, it will be easier for the First-Tier Superior-Grade Stone Spirit Walnut it produces to break through to the second grade in the future, and this tree can also produce Second Grade Middle Rank Stone Spirit Walnut."

"What a pity. If only I had obtained such a promising spirit tree when it was still a seed."

Ling Yunhong sighed inwardly.

"Although spirit fruit Spirit Plant take longer to grow, they are of great benefit to the Lineage. In the future, we can use the cultivation technique of Spirit Plant on this Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut Tree to guide Secret Method to produce a spirit Stone Spirit Walnut Tree."

"If this tree can nurture a spiritual seed, and then hand it over to the clan's Spirit Planter to refine it into Natal Spirit Plant, it would bring immeasurable benefits to the Lineage."

Only when Spirit Plant is still a seed can it be refined into Natal Spirit Plant by the Spirit Planter.

This is because once Spirit Plant sprouts and grows, it will develop a weak intelligence. Although it is not enough to think independently, it has the consciousness to resist the Spirit Planter's refinement.

If Spirit Planter forcibly attempts to refine a sprouted Spirit Plant, he will fail in eight or nine out of ten cases. The Spirit Planter will also be devoured by the sprouted Spirit Plant, and the sprouted Spirit Plant will also suffer damage to its roots.

As for the rarity of spirit tree seeds, it is because spirit tree seeds require the spirit tree to consume a large amount of its own Jia Wood Power to grow. Under normal circumstances, spirit tree will not do such a thing that damages its own Jia Wood Power.

Of course, there are exceptions. Spirit Plant trees of the second rank and above have some intelligence and know that spirit trees can gather Spiritual Qi energy. Therefore, in order to cultivate themselves, many spirit trees of the second rank and above will consume a lot of Jia Wood Spiritual Energy to nurture offspring, cultivate them, and use them to gather the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to assist their own cultivation.

In addition, the Spirit Planter can also perform "Fertility Spell" on the Spirit Tree, deliberately guiding the Spirit Tree, which has little intelligence, to consume a large amount of Jia Wood Essence to nurture a Spirit Seed.

Although the Ling Clan has many spirit fruit trees, those spirit fruit trees are all spirit fruit trees that the Ling Clan has found in the territory of Demon Beast or bought at auctions.

Once Ling Yunhong had an idea, he immediately put it into practice, casting a "Fertility Spell" on the Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut in front of him.

After using this technique, Ling Yunhong left the area of Spirit Field.

Although he was the only second-tier Spirit Planter in the clan, he usually only took care of the Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut and the Spirit Field area. The rest of the Spirit Plant were taken care of by Great Elder Ling Ruxian, a veteran First Rank High Grade Spirit Plant Farmer.

This move was also to save time, so that he could have more time to devote to cultivation and Pill Refining.

Sorry I'm late.
