The Family's Spirit Plants

At the Falling Dusk Mountain, beneath that Azure Banyan Tree.

The entire Ling Pengyun family gathered here because of Ling Pengyun's return.

"Father, I have finished converting my Cultivation Method. The Yin Yang Transformation Profound Scripture you found for me is indeed excellent. It is more than 50% faster than the previous Cultivation Method I used."

Ling Pengyun's only son Ling Chengxia, said to his father, Ling Pengyun, who had just returned home, with a joyful expression.

"If the Cultivation Method works well, that's good, but you can't be lazy because of that."

"In addition, it's not a good thing to progress too quickly in cultivation. Whenever you reach a bottleneck in your cultivation, you should calm down and refine your spiritual power. This will be beneficial for you to advance from the Qi Training Ninth Layer Refining to the Consummation Realm of Qi Refining in the future."

Ling Pengyun patted Xiao Cheng Xia's head and said with a smile.

Ling Chengxia's cultivation level has not improved in the past year due to switching Cultivation Method, and he is still at the Qi Training Fifth Layer.

However, Cheng Xia is only fifteen years old. It is already quite good that she has reached the Qi Training Fifth Layer. Her cultivation speed is not slow. On the contrary, she is among the fastest among her peers.

"I know, Father. By the way, Father, you've gone out several times already. When will you let me leave the mountain? Mother keeps refusing to let me leave," Ling Chengxia complained to her father, Ling Pengyun.

Since he embarked on the Dao Path, he has often heard his elders describe the mysterious Cultivation World.

This also made him extremely fascinated by the outside world.

However, although his cultivation had reached the Qi Training Fifth Layer, he was still young and his temperament was not mature enough. Yan Siyi had always stopped this little guy from going out of the mountain to travel in the Cultivation World.

Yan Siyi, who was standing to the side, wanted to scold Ling Chengxia, who wanted to go out again, but was stopped by Ling Pengyun.

"When I first came out of seclusion, I was only sixteen years old, just one year older than Cheng Xia, who is now fifteen."

"In that case, if you can break through to the Qi Training Sixth Layer next year and comprehend one water-based spell and one Fire Element Law Technique to perfection, I will allow you to leave the mountain."

Ling Pengyun said.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengxia's face lit up with joy.

The cultivation requirements were not difficult for him.

For him, mastering a Water-based Spell and a Fire Element Law Technique to perfection was not difficult at all.

He did inherit his father Ling Pengyun's strong comprehension and talent in Law Technique.

In particular, his progress was extremely rapid as he studied the Fire Element and Water-based Spell that complemented his main cultivation Cultivation Method, the Yin Yang Transformation Profound Scripture.

For nearly a year, he spent a lot of time practicing water and Fire Element Law Technique because he found it difficult to cultivate the new Cultivation Method.

Now, he has mastered the Law Technique "Fire Arrow Art" and "Water Shield Technique".

According to his estimate, he would be able to comprehend these two Law Technique to a perfect level within one or two months.

Law Technique can be divided into four levels: beginner, minor mastery, major mastery, and perfection. Once you have mastered a Law Technique to perfection, you can cast it instantly, which greatly enhances your combat abilities.

Overjoyed, Ling Chengxia quickly thanked her father, Ling Pengyun.

"I knew Dad was the best."

Ling Pengyun dismissed him, saying, "Go and cultivate diligently."

Ling Chengxia nodded solemnly, then hurriedly returned to a cave abode in the mountains and entered seclusion, striving to fulfill her father Ling Pengyun's request as soon as possible so that she could go out and see the Cultivation World that her elders had spoken of.

However, one person is happy while the other is sad.

Ling Xiao Xiaoxia's mother, Yan Siyi, along with her Grandfather, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, as well as Ling Chengxia, the Silkworm Farmer had watched Ling Chengxia grow up, and the Spirit Chef, Ling Xiaoyan, all looked towards the direction of the cave abode that Ling Chengxia had entered, their faces showing worry.

"My lord, with Cheng Xia's talent, she will surely be able to meet your requirements next year and then go out."

"You and I both know the dangers of the Cultivation World. Isn't it a bit too early to let Cheng Xia go down the mountain so soon?"

Yan Siyi said with concern.

Although Ling Xiaoshun and the others did not speak, their eyes were fixed on Ling Pengyun, clearly indicating that they shared the same sentiment as Yan Siyi.

Ling Pengyun frowned and spoke softly.

"If Cheng Xia can truly meet the requirements I mentioned, with his aptitude at the Qi Training Sixth Layer, the unique characteristics of the Cultivation Method Law Technique practices, and the perfection of his water and fire spells, his strength would probably be comparable to that of an ordinary Qi Training Seventh Layer cultivator."

"If he were to be aided by Law Artifact, his strength would surely increase dramatically, and he would probably be able to Qi Training Eighth Layer of Qi Refining."

"This level of strength is already quite formidable; it gives them the right to roam freely in this Cultivation World."

"As for the dangers in this Cultivation World, I will help Cheng Xia quell some of them and assist him in his growth."

"No growth is possible without weathering storms."

"Madam, Father, Mother, Cheng Ping, Uncle Xiaoyan, you must all understand that we are cultivators, not ordinary mortals. We can protect Cheng Xia for a while, but if Cheng Xia is unable to grow up, with my current lifespan, I can only watch Cheng Xia pass away a hundred years from now."

"I don't want to go through this kind of pain."

"I hope you all understand."

These words also awakened everyone, and they realized that the approachable Ling Pengyun in front of them had already entered the Golden Core realm and was enjoying a long lifespan of five hundred years.

If his son Ling Chengxia does not reach the Golden Core, even if he reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm, Ling Chengxia will surely pass away first two hundred years later.

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

This incident made them think about their own situation.

Especially for Yan Siyi, who was still at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, the desire to break through to the Golden Core stage was ignited in her heart.

She wanted to see her only son, Ling Chengxia, reach even greater heights, and she wanted to stay with her husband, Ling Pengyun, forever. She didn't want to die after more than a hundred years, when her lifespan had run out.

"Alright, let's call it a day."

Ling Pengyun was also feeling somewhat heavy-hearted and didn't want to say anything more, so he dismissed everyone.

Then, he led his Daoist partner Yan Siyi into the "Cloud Yi Cave Residence," took out ten bottles of Second Rank Low Grade Wood Origin Spirit Water, handed them to Yan Siyi, and gave her instructions.

"Madam, try your best to break through to the Foundation Establishment Consummation Realm before you turn ninety. This way, you will still have sixty years of lifespan before the one hundred and fifty-year limit for breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, and you will also have two opportunities to try to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

"At that time, I will find you Golden Core Spirit Object, and you will have a greater chance to enter the Golden Core realm and continue to explore this Cultivation World with me."

After failing to break through to the Golden Core stage, one needs at least thirty years to heal before attempting to break through to the Golden Core stage again.

Upon hearing this, Yan Siyi felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

At the same time, he was even more eager to break through to the Golden Core stage.

"I will certainly not fail my husband's expectations."

Seeing Yan Siyi's serious expression, Ling Pengyun found her even more beautiful.

He then stepped forward and spent some time being affectionate and tender with Yan Siyi, whom he had not seen for a long time.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that the couple, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, came out of the cave abode together and cooked Spirit Cuisine for everyone as breakfast.

After breakfast.

Ling Pengyun stepped into the Spirit Plant Garden Spirit Plant Garden atop Falling Dusk Mountain and inspected its condition.

After years of management of Falling Dusk Mountain by the Ling Clan, the number of Spirit Field within the Spirit Plant Garden has increased by the Ling Clan ten Spirit Field.

The number of Spirit Field within this Spirit Plant Garden has reached forty Spirit Field.

Among them are 30 mu of First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Field, 5 mu of Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Field, 4 mu of Second Grade Middle Rank Spirit Field, and 1 mu of Second Rank High Grade Spirit Field.

The Spirit Plant in the Spirit Plant Garden are mostly the main ingredients for cultivating elixirs or the two types of spiritual plants Talisman Crafting Grass.

As for the Spirit Rice, it is not grown here.

In addition, there are fifty-four spirit fruit trees planted in this Spirit Plant Garden.

Among the fifty-four spirit fruit trees, there are thirty trees of the lower, middle, and upper grades of the first tier, respectively.

Among the second-tier spirit fruit trees, there are only two: the Second Grade Middle Rank Stone Spirit Walnut Tree that the Ling Clan obtained in their early years, and the Second Rank High Grade "Purple Moon Spirit Tree" that they found in the Golden Horn Grassland a few years ago.

The Stone Spirit Walnut Tree was originally Second Rank Low Grade. However, when the Lineage advanced the Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Vein of the Clan Mountain to the Second Grade Middle Rank tree in its early years, the tree received Spiritual Qi energy from the advancement of the Spirit Vein, which raised its cultivation to the peak of the Second Rank Low Grade.

After nearly a decade of self-cultivation, this tree successfully broke through to the Second Grade Middle Rank several years ago.

The improvement in grade brings many benefits. Every fifty years, this tree can produce at least fifty Second Rank Low Grade Stone Spirit Walnut.

Every hundred years, a considerable number of Second Grade Middle Rank Stone Spirit Walnut can also be produced.

The cultivation of that Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Tree has not improved much, and it is still some distance away from the peak of the Second Rank High Grade- grade.

Overall, this batch of spirit fruit trees can produce at least nearly a thousand First Rank Low Grade spirit fruits every year, while first-grade medium-quality, high-quality, and second-grade spirit fruits will only be produced every few years.

In a corner of this Spirit Plant Garden, within a dozen acres of Spirit Field, there is also a small mulberry orchard.

There are forty-three sacred Mulberry Tree in this mulberry orchard.

Among them, there are twenty-three trees of the lower grade, fifteen trees of the middle grade, and five trees of the upper grade.

There are currently no second-order Mulberry Tree.

One of the Ling Clan's important sources of income, the "Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm flock," resides in this mulberry Mulberry Garden.

Because the Spirit Plant Garden has a matching array to accelerate the growth of Spirit Plant, this mulberry Mulberry Garden can grow twice as fast even without the care of Spirit Planter. As a result, the rate at which mulberry leaves are produced each year becomes extremely fast, enough to supply the group of Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm in this area.

With the help of enough Spirit Mulberry Leaf, the group of Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm has continued to multiply and grow stronger in recent years.

To date, this group of Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm has grown to nearly a hundred.

Each year, the silkworm swarm can produce about 400 catties of first-grade low, medium and high-grade Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm. When combined with the array formation, the Spirit Silk can be used to make array flags, which can bring in at least 5,000 Spirit Stone.

As for the second-tier Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm, it was not found in the silkworm swarm.

The silkworm king's cultivation is still stuck at the Qi Refining Consummation Realm. It had just attempted to break through to Foundation Establishment a few years ago, but unfortunately failed.

Fortunately, it had the help of the Meridian Protecting Pill, which protected its body, and thus it survived after failing to Foundation Establishment.

The silkworm king is currently recovering from its injuries.

In addition, the spirit Mulberry Tree can produce nearly ten thousand Spirit Mulberry every year. Although these Spirit Mulberry are not valuable, they taste excellent and are the best choice for shops under the Sky Talisman Commerce Association to entertain guests.

After taking a general look around the Spirit Plant Garden, Ling Pengyun's gaze settled on the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree and the Purple Moon Spirit Tree, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Relying solely on these spirit fruit trees to absorb the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Field for cultivation is still too slow in terms of improving one's cultivation level."

"Especially this Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Tree, if it relied solely on its own strength, it might not have a chance to reach the third grade even after hundreds of years."

"However, this tree is extremely important to the Lineage. If this tree can be upgraded to the third rank, the 150-year-old Purple Moon Spirit Fruit it nurtures will also have a trace of creation power, which can be used to refine the second-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, Purple Moon Water."

"In this way, we will need to give this tree a portion of the Yin Yang Primordial Qi in the future to help it change its nature."

"The Yin Yang Primordial Qi is becoming increasingly insufficient. To date, neither Madam nor Cheng Xia have benefited from Yin Yang Primordial Qi enhancement."

"This tree will be placed after the Madam and Cheng Xia."

"As for Peng Qiu as a candidate, I will decide based on the progress of my deduction of the Saint Demon Fate Continuation Art."

Ling Pengyun secretly made a plan.

Subsequently, Ling Pengyun transplanted the Spirit Plant that were originally planted on the one acre of Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Field in the Spirit Plant Garden.

The three Second Rank Low Grade Clear Water Spirit Bamboo plants that I purchased at the auction during my trip to Wood Origin Marketplace were planted in this area.

The Second Rank High Grade Misty Water Spirit Fruit was planted by Ling Pengyun in the only Second Rank High Grade Spirit Field in the area, to keep company with the Second Rank High Grade Purple Moon Spirit Tree.
