The Idea of Building a Spirit Plant Garden

"Liu Daoist Friend, according to the rules we agreed upon when we formed our alliance, after the Luo Clan is destroyed, you will receive 30% of the Luo Clan's existing wealth."

"Within the Luo Clan, the Clan Repository probably contains the most spiritual items. How about we start by looting the Luo Clan Repository, which is protected by an array?"

Ling Yunhong made the suggestion.

"Of course."

Upon hearing the call, Liu Daozhou, Liu Clan Head, looked toward a corner of the mountaintop where a magnificent hall with a plaque bearing the four characters "Luo Clan Repository" hung.

This grand ceremony was enveloped by a massive white light curtain.

With everyone in agreement, Ling Yunhong led the group to the Luo Clan Repository, where they took out their respective Law Artifact and continuously bombarded the white light barrier protecting the Luo Clan Repository.

The group's strength had all reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Defensive Formation was not of a high grade, only First-Tier Superior-Grade.

Furthermore, this First-Tier Superior-Grade Defense Array is unmanned, so its power is less than 70% of what it was when it was at its peak.

In just over ten breaths, the Defensive Formation protecting the Luo Clan Repository was shattered by the group, and they entered the Luo Clan Repository.

This Luo Clan Repository is where the Luo Clan stores their spiritual items.

However, at this moment, there were not many spiritual items in the Clan Repository.

Furthermore, the spiritual items in this Clan Repository are mostly low-value blank Talisman Paper, low-grade spirit iron, and other raw materials for refining spiritual items.

The combined value of these spiritual items is probably less than a thousand Spirit Stone.

Ling Yunhong, Liu Daozhou, and the others were not surprised by this.

After all, a month ago, when they arrived at Luoxia Mountain, they stumbled upon the scene of Luo Minghui, the patriarch of the Luo clan, leading several young children of the Luo clan to flee the Luo clan mountain.

Clearly, Luo Minghui must have taken most of the valuable spiritual items in the Luo Clan Repository into his Storage Bag and used them as funds for revenge.

Now, the several Storage Bag on Luo Minghui's body that "suspected" contained a large amount of the Luo Clan family property have all fallen into the hands of Ling Yunhong.

Thinking of this, Liu Daozhou felt utterly helpless.

He naturally dared not ask Ling Yunhong for them. If those Storage Bag contained no spiritual items, and Ling Yunhong and the others mistook it for deliberately provoking a fight, that would be disastrous.

Liu Daozhou could only accept his bad luck and took only 30% of the spiritual items in the Luo Clan Repository, which were of very little value.

After looting the Luo Clan Repository, everyone left the area.

Then, we went down to the middle of the mountain, to the edge of a large field.

Even within this vast expanse of barren land, a trace of spirit remains.

Clearly, this vast expanse of wasteland was previously a Spirit Field, and of a high quality, at least at the First Rank Middle Grade.

However, nowadays, the Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi within these fields has been removed by others using Spirit Field, destroying Spirit Field all and turning them into ordinary fields.

Within this vast expanse of barren land, there were no Spirit Plant whatsoever, only some pits and hollows.

"This destruction of the fields must have been done by that old scoundrel Luo Minghui before his death. He must have already guessed that Falling Dusk Mountain was going to fall, so he didn't intend to leave a way out for his own Lineage, which is why he did the destruction of the fields," Ling Yunhong said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Daozhou also felt that it made a lot of sense.

After all, if his Lineage was about to be wiped out, how could the Lineage's Spirit Field possibly be left for the enemy?

As for the Spirit Plant originally planted on those Spirit Field, Liu Daozhou knew without much guessing that most of them had not been destroyed by Luo Minghui.

Instead, like the spiritual items in the Luo Clan Repository, they were all put into Luo Minghui's Storage Bag. If he could escape this time, those Spirit Plant would become his capital to turn his life around, just like those spiritual items in the Luo Clan Repository.

"Unfortunately, all these spiritual items have fallen into the hands of that old fox Ling Yunhong, and my Liu Clan can't get even a single one." Liu Daozhou glanced at Ling Yunhong and said helplessly to himself.

Afterwards, the group searched the two Cultivation Abode on the Falling Dusk Mountain and the "Luo Clan Technique Pavilion" halfway up the Falling Dusk Mountain.

These two places, like the Luo Clan Repository and the Luo Clan's High-Grade Spirit Field fields, don't contain anything of value.

Even the Luo Clan Technique Pavilion was burned down, leaving only ashes and ruins.

This incident also made Liu Daozhou, Ling Pengyun, and others feel regretful.

"If we could have conquered the Luo Clan Mountain in a short time, this situation wouldn't have happened," Liu Daozhou, the clan leader of the Liu Clan, sighed as he looked at the ruins of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.

For Liu Daozhou, his main purpose in forming an alliance with the Ling Clan was to destroy the enemy Luo Clan family, and then obtain the Luo Clan's Cultivation Method and skills.

Like the Ling Clan, the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan was originally a small Lineage that Qi Refining, with very little foundation.

If they could obtain the Luo Clan's Cultivation Method and skills, it would also enhance the Liu Clan's foundation, and provide more paths for the Liu Clan family members to follow in the future.

Unfortunately, they were all burned to the ground.

At this moment, however, Ling Yunhong, the Clan Head of the Ling Clan clan, was thinking about something else.

"I wonder if the Luo Clan's most precious second-tier array inheritance is in the Storage Bag on Luo Minghui's body, or if it has been destroyed."

The Ling Clan is different from the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan. A few years ago, the Ling Clan, together with their relatives Peace Cloud Yang Clan of Cloudwater County, destroyed the Red Leaf Ridge Ye Family, but they obtained some inheritance from the old Foundation Establishment Family, the Ye Clan.

During the Demon Beast Uprising, Ling Pengyun also inherited the legacy of the Ice Flood Dragon County Shen Family.

This has meant that the Ling Clan's current foundation is no weaker than that of established Foundation Establishment Family; all that's missing is time.

Clan Head Ling Yunhong was not interested in the ordinary inheritances within the Luo Clan Technique Pavilion; only the second-tier array inheritance of the Luo Clan was worthy of his attention.

With the inheritance of second-tier formation techniques, the Ling Clan's Array Formation Master also have the opportunity to break through and become Second Rank Array Formation Master.

Although Ling Yunhong obtained Luo Minghui's Storage Bag Storage Bag, they still bore Luo Minghui's Divine Sense imprint, making it difficult for him to open them in a short time.

Having exhausted his thoughts, Ling Yunhong stopped thinking about it and instead made a suggestion.

"Liu Daoist Friend, we have already thoroughly looted Falling Dusk Mountain."

"We should also go and help our clansmen, and together we should conquer those Low-Order Spirit Vein under the Luo Clan clan, so as to avoid any accidents that might occur if the time drags on."

"Okay," Liu Daozhou agreed.

For the past month, these Foundation Establishment Cultivator have been besieging Falling Dusk Mountain to prevent Luo Minghui, an Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivator, from escaping. Therefore, they have not gone to help their clansmen conquer the Low-Order Spirit Vein in the Luo Clan's territory.

Those Low-Order Spirit Vein are all equipped with arrays. Even if the Liu Clan and Ling Clan clans form an alliance and have a large number of Qi Refining cultivators, it will be difficult to break through the Defense Array set up on those Low-Order Spirit Vein in a short time.

The Liu Clan can also receive 30% of the profits from the spiritual creatures planted on the Luo Clan's Low-Order Spirit Vein.

"Peng Yun, we are both second-tier Spirit Planter and can both cultivate Spirit Field. The task of cultivating Spirit Field again on Falling Dusk Mountain will be entrusted to you."

"Aside from leaving enough Spiritual Qi for one Foundation Establishment Cultivator to cultivate, the rest of the Spiritual Qi in Falling Dusk Mountain can be used to cultivate Spirit Field."

"From now on, this mountain will only be used as a base."

"At the same time, you can also stay here to keep the villains in check, so that no cultivators will take advantage of the destruction of the Luo clan to try to make a fortune in the Luo clan's mountain."

"I will go and help those Qi Refining clansmen conquer the Low-Order Spirit Vein of the Luo Clan. My involvement will also speed up the process of conquering those Low-Order Spirit Vein."

"And if those Luo Clan cultivators stationed on Low-Order Spirit Vein also do something like that old thief Luo Minghui, destroying farmland."

"I can handle the Low-Order Spirit Vein, and I can also reclaim Spirit Field."

Seeing Liu Daozhou respond, Ling Yunhong looked at Ling Pengyun and transmitted his voice.

"Understood, Third Grandfather." Ling Pengyun had no objection to the suggestion and replied telepathically.

Ling Yunhong had no intention of letting Liu Daozhou know about this mountain in advance, as arrangements would be made later.

"Clan Head Liu, Peng Xing, let's go." Ling Yunhong nodded slightly, said a few words, and then beckoned the Immortal Spirit Crane King in the sky to land beside him, before turning around and climbing on it.

Ling Pengxing then climbed onto the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane King.

"Immortal Spirit, let's go," Ling Yunhong called out.

The Immortal Spirit Crane King's eyes twitched slightly, and with a flap of its wings, a gust of wind arose, and it took flight as well. Benefiting from Ling Yunhong's help, it purposefully flew south.

Liu Daozhou mounted the Flame Cloud Tiger King, which followed closely behind, and galloped away.

Ling Pengyun, still atop Falling Dusk Mountain, watched Ling Yunhong and the others leave. He then began to use the Spirit Plant Secret Method "Nurturing Spirit Art" to once again draw upon the Spiritual Qi in this Spiritual Qi rich mountaintop area, refining the mortal soil into spiritual energy and cultivating Spirit Field.

Developing Spirit Field consumes a great deal of spiritual energy. Even though Ling Pengyun's cultivation level was as high as the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment and his spiritual energy was abundant, he was still somewhat exhausted after developing more than ten acres of First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Field. His spiritual energy in his Dantian was almost completely depleted.

Helpless, he had no choice but to stop and absorb the Spiritual Qi in the mountains to restore his spiritual power.

This also greatly slowed down the speed at which he expanded his Spirit Field.

It took three days to complete the work of cultivating the Spirit Field.

During these three days, Ling Pengyun also cultivated a full thirty acres of Spirit Field on the mountaintop.

Of these, 25 mu are First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Field, and 5 mu are Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Field.

As a result, the Spiritual Qi in Falling Dusk Mountain has become somewhat diluted.

Ling Pengyun wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the thirty acres of Spirit Field in front of him, his expression shifted slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"According to the records of the Spirit Plant plant lineage, thirty acres of First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Field are already quite substantial, not to mention the five acres of Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Field here."

"The quantity of such High-Grade Spirit Field is sufficient to warrant setting up several formations to assist the growth of Spirit Plant, thus transforming it into a first-tier Spirit Plant Garden."

"In this way, the growth rate of the Spirit Plant planted in the twenty-five acres of First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Field here can be accelerated, thus increasing the yield."

Only when there are more than 30 acres of Spirit Field, and more than five formations that can assist the growth of Spirit Plant, can it be called Spirit Plant Garden.

The five arrays set up within the Spirit Plant Garden are generally known as the "Spirit Gathering Formation", the "Morning Moon Transforming Rain Grand Array", the "Nourishing Soil Grand Array", the "Supporting Spring Grand Array", and the "Congealing Wood Grand Array".

The Spirit Gathering Formation is the most ordinary of the five arrays, its only function being to enhance the concentration of Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Plant Garden.

The Morning Moon Transforming Rain Grand Array can absorb the essence of the early morning and the night moon, transforming it into Morning Moon Spirit Rain.

The "Nourishing Soil Grand Array" can absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi and enhance the Spiritual Qi contained within the Spirit Soil.

The wonder of the "Supporting Spring Grand Array" lies in the two words "spring support." Within this array, all Spirit Plant will grow rapidly and vigorously, just like in spring.

The Congealing Wood Grand Array absorbs Spiritual Qi and converts it into the essence of two types of wood, namely, A and B, which has an excellent effect on the growth of Spirit Plant.

The five formations are interconnected and work together to create a Spirit Plant Garden, which can also accelerate the growth of Spirit Plant of the same level within the Spirit Plant Garden by 100%.

Setting up these formations and building the Spirit Plant Garden would require an enormous amount of money, which is generally unaffordable for the Foundation Establishment Family.

There are as many as seventy or eighty Foundation Establishment Family in the entire Hundred Spirits Sect territory, but the number of the Foundation Establishment Family that have built Spirit Plant Garden is no more than ten.

This is also because the arrays that assist in the growth of Spirit Plant are expensive and few people can afford them, which results in them not being available on the market.

If one wishes to acquire it, one must find a highly skilled Array Formation Master to specially craft it, which increases the cost of purchasing the array.

In addition, a Spirit Plant Garden requires at least five supporting formations, and the formations must be of the same grade as most of the Spirit Field in the Spirit Plant Garden; otherwise, the effectiveness of the supporting formations will be weakened.

This is why very few Foundation Establishment Family have built Spirit Plant Garden.

Of course, although the cost of building the Spirit Plant Garden is high, once it is completed, it has miraculous effects.

Even if only five auxiliary formations of the same grade as the Spirit Field are provided, the Spirit Plant within those Spirit Field can at least double their growth rate.

This is tantamount to finding a second-tier Spirit Planter to take care of the Spirit Plant in the Spirit Plant Garden day and night.

As for the Rock Scale Snake Den, which Ling Pengyun used to guard and had 35 acres of Spirit Field, it was not developed into Spirit Plant Garden, precisely because the cost of establishing Spirit Plant Garden was too high.

The Yang Clan and Ling Clan have already spent a considerable amount of money to appease the Hundred Spirits Sect and secure the Second Rank Spirit Vein within the Snake Cave.

At the very least, they need to recoup their costs before the two races will consider establishing Spirit Plant Garden and setting up corresponding formations on that Spirit Vein.

My thoughts returned.

Because the construction of the Spirit Plant Garden would require a great deal of money, and he needed to consult with the Clan Head Ling Yunhong, he didn't think much about it.

He then took out a large number of Spirit Plant seeds from his Storage Bag and planted them in the thirty acres of Spirit Field in front of him. He also watered the newly planted Spirit Plant seeds in the thirty acres of Spirit Field with Spirit Rain to nourish them and help them germinate quickly.

Having finished this task, Ling Pengyun had nothing else to do, so he closed his eyes and absorbed the rich Spiritual Qi energy within Falling Dusk Mountain to improve his cultivation.

They awaited the return of Ling Yunhong and the others who had gone to help the Qi Refining clansmen of the Lineage and conquer the Low-Order Spirit Vein of the Luo Clan.

A day later, Ling Yunhong and the others returned with good news.

All twenty-two First Rank Spirit Vein that the Luo Clan occupied in "Falling Rain County" were captured.

The Luo Clan Qi Refining cultivators stationed within these Spirit Vein were all killed.

However, nearly half of the Luo Clan's Qi Refining cultivators stationed on these Spirit Vein did the same thing as that old thief Luo Minghui: destroying farmland.

Fortunately, Ling Yunhong, a second-tier Spirit Planter, went there and relied on the "Nurturing Spirit Art" of Spirit Plant to re-establish Spirit Field on those Spirit Vein.

As for the Spirit Plant planted on those Low-Order Spirit Vein, the Luo Clan Qi Refining cultivators couldn't bear to destroy them directly, so they left them behind.

After killing the Luo Clan Qi Refining cultivators from the Luo clan, the Ling Clan and the Liu Clan, who were allied with them, also obtained a large number of Spirit Plant.

The two families split the profits 70/30. After dividing this batch of Spirit Plant, the Ling Clan still received a considerable number of Spirit Plant.

Although relatively few of these Spirit Plant are mature, there are still several hundred mature Spirit Plant.

These Spirit Plant, when refined into pills, can be worth thousands of Spirit Stone.

Barely, it can be considered a considerable gain.
