Second Grade Middle Rank Spirit Plant Garden
The group walked along the narrow passage for about 30 feet before finally entering a Spirit Plant Garden was extremely rich in Spiritual Qi, very spacious, but only had two acres of Second Rank High Grade Spirit Field fields.
Although the number of Spirit Field in this Spirit Plant Garden does not reach the number of normal Spirit Plant Garden, it has all five arrays required to support Spirit Plant Garden: the Morning Moon Transforming Rain Grand Array, the Nourishing Soil Grand Array, the Supporting Spring Grand Array, the Congealing Wood Grand Array, and the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Moreover, all five formations were of the Second Grade Middle Rank level.
Under such circumstances, any Spirit Plant of grade no higher than the Second Grade Middle Rank planted in this Spirit Plant Garden will have its growth rate increased by 160%.
The first-tier low, medium, and high-grade Spirit Plant Garden can respectively increase the growth rate of Spirit Plant of the same tier or lower grade by 30%, 60%, and 100%.
The second-tier lower, middle, and upper-grade Spirit Plant Garden can respectively increase the growth rate of Spirit Plant of the same tier or lower grade by 130%, 160%, and 2 times.
The five mid-grade ...
However, a year or two ago, Ling Penglin also suffered quite a bit in order to set up those five sets of Second Grade Middle Rank Array Formation.
The five sets of Spirit Plant Garden arrays were extremely difficult to set up, comparable to the difficulty of setting up an ordinary Second Rank High Grade array.
If Ling Penglin hadn't had the help of the Explosive Tempering God Art, she wouldn't have been able to successfully construct the five supporting formations for this Spirit Plant Garden.
This Spirit Plant Garden is also the highest-grade Spirit Plant Garden in the Ling Clan.
The Spirit Plant grown on those two acres of Spirit Field here are of extremely high quality.
On each of those two acres of Spirit Field, only one spirit tree was planted: a Second Rank High Grade Spirit Peach Tree and a Third Rank Low Grade Yellow Jade Spirit Fruit Tree.
These two spirit fruit trees were found on the Giant Crocodile Island with Third Rank Spirit Vein two or three years ago, after Ling Pengyun wiped out the Golden Core Demon Race's Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan.
When Ling Chengping and Ling Wanchuan first saw the two spirit fruit trees, they were both greatly surprised by the immense aura emanating from them.
Forget about that Second Rank High Grade Spirit Peach Tree; the Ling Clan isn't without spirit fruit trees of that grade.
However, that Third Rank Low Grade Yellow Jade Spirit Fruit Tree is a rare and precious thing in the world. It can produce priceless treasures such as Golden Core Spirit Object, and its value is extraordinary.
With this tree, the Ling Clan also has the ability to independently cultivate Golden Core cultivators.
At that moment, Ling Wanchuan, who had only recently begun studying Spirit Plant and was barely considered a Spirit Plant Apprentice, subtly sensed that the aura emanating from the Third Rank Low Grade Yellow Jade Spirit Tree and the Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Peach Tree planted here both contained a hint of violence.
These signs are not a good thing.
According to the records in the Ling Clan's Spirit Plant Classics that Ling Wanchuan read, the spiritual fruit trees that have this condition will produce spiritual fruit with at least half the efficacy, and the difficulty of refining those spiritual fruit will also increase.
As his thoughts returned, Xiao Ling Wanchuan frowned slightly, a mixture of curiosity and confusion on his face, wanting confirmation from Ling Pengyun.
"Ancestor Peng Yun... were these two spirit fruit trees cultivated using Ancient Demon Beast Blood?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was slightly startled. He looked at the nine-year-old Ling Wanchuan with a hint of approval in his eyes.
Although the abnormality of those two spirit fruit trees was extremely obvious.
However, the method of cultivating Spirit Plant with the blood of Demon Beast has long since disappeared from the sight of cultivators, and is only recorded in some ancient books.
From this incident, Ling Pengyun could easily see that Xiao Ling Wanchuan read quite a few classic texts in his daily life.
As a result, Ling Pengyun held Ling Wanchuan, whom he had not had much contact with, in higher regard.
He then made no attempt to hide anything, offering a mix of explanation and preaching.
"Indeed, these two spirit fruit trees are cultivated from the blood of Demon Beast."
"However, it was not me who did this, but the Swamp Crocodile at the Golden Core Realm that I killed back then."
"These two spirit fruit trees were also found on the Giant Crocodile Island of the Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan."
"Since you know that these two spirit fruit trees were cultivated using the Ancient Demon Beast Blood, do you have the knowledge to nurture such spirit trees with spiritual power and eliminate the violent methods they contain?"
Ling Wanchuan said with a hint of confidence, "I've seen a bit of it, but I wouldn't say I've mastered it; I can barely manage to use it."
"Give it a try!"
Ling Pengyun became interested and said with a smile.
Xiao Ling Wanchuan nodded slightly and walked to the Second Rank High Grade Spirit Peach Tree of lower grade, his hands slowly forming hand seals with a slightly clumsy touch.
After a full ten breaths, he finally condensed a green Nourishing Dharma Seal and sent it into the Second Rank High Grade Spirit Peach Tree.
Within the vast expanse, the Spirit Peach Tree shone with a brilliant green light, and upon closer inspection, its violent aura could indeed be detected as slowly diminishing.
However, the reduction was not significant.
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun, who was standing to the side, smiled.
"I didn't expect that this child could actually use such an unorthodox method of nurturing Spirit Plant. He is indeed an honest child."
About a hundred breaths later, due to the excessive spiritual energy required to perform the Nourishing Technique, Ling Wanchuan, who was only at the Qi Training Second Layer Refining, gradually began to feel overwhelmed, and the spiritual energy in his Dantian was gradually depleted.
The Spirit Peach Tree, which shimmered with a green glow, thus returned to normal.
Ling Wanchuan returned to Ling Pengyun's side with a hint of helplessness and self-reproach.
"Peng Yun Earl, my cultivation level is still low, and I cannot use the nurturing technique to help you remove the violence from that Spirit Peach Tree."
Ling Pengyun patted Ling Wanchuan's head reassuringly. "It's alright. It's already quite an achievement that you were able to use this nurturing technique."
"By the way, I've been quite busy lately and haven't had a chance to ask about your progress in Spirit Plant cultivation."
"Take this opportunity and tell me what you think."
Ling Wanchuan nodded slightly and replied carefully.
"Ancestor Peng Yun, in the nearly one year since I started learning about Spirit Plant, I have mastered the two core secret Law Technique of Spirit Plant, namely the Ripening Technique and the Spirit Rain Technique, to the beginner level."
"I am also currently studying auxiliary techniques such as the Transplantation Technique of Spirit Plant."
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's eyes lit up.
In just under a year, he has mastered the two core secret techniques of Spirit Plant, namely the Ripening Technique and the Spirit Rain Technique, at an extremely fast pace.
Back then, even he, a so-called Spirit Planter of Spirit Plant, spent more than a year to comprehend these two methods to the point of mastery before refining his first Natal Spirit Plant and becoming Spirit Planter.
To upgrade the grade of a Spirit Plant, two conditions are required: the first is the Ripening Technique, and the second is to be Natal Spirit Plant.
Only when both of these conditions are met can the grade of the Spirit Plant be improved.
Conversely, if either of the two conditions is a drawback, the grade of the Spirit Plant will be difficult to improve.
"This child is indeed a great talent in the field of Spirit Plant."
Ling Pengyun was secretly delighted.
However, in an instant, he became somewhat puzzled.
"Wan Chuan, since you've comprehended the Ripening Technique and the Spirit Rain Technique to the basic level and can barely use these two techniques, why haven't you refined your Natal Spirit Plant and become a true Spirit Planter?"
Just now, when Ling Wanchuan was using the nurturing technique on that Second Rank High Grade Spirit Peach Tree, Ling Pengyun realized that its Spirit Plant grade was only that of an apprentice.
Ling Wanchuan obediently replied, "The matter of Natal Spirit Plant is of great importance. Grandfather Peng Shan dared not let the other elders in the clan who are also first-tier Spirit Planter masters guide me in choosing my Natal Spirit Plant. He wanted me to ask Ancestor Peng Yun's opinion before choosing the first type of Natal Spirit Plant."
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for Ling Pengshan's actions.
The Natal Spirit Plant is of utmost importance to Spirit Planter. Only when Spirit Planter breaks through a major realm can he refine a new Natal Spirit Plant.
The Natal Spirit Plant that a spiritual Spirit Planter are all carefully selected to be the most suitable for him.
Just like Ling Pengyun, the first Natal Spirit Plant he acquired when he first entered the path of spiritual Spirit Plant, "Thorn Vine", was chosen by Ling Pengyun, the Great Elder of the Ling Clan, who had taught Ling Ruda Pengyun the Dao, based on Ling Pengyun's "Dao".
For Ling Pengyun, the path of cultivation will certainly not be smooth sailing. There will inevitably be battles along the way, and only by having strong combat power can he survive to the end and ascend to a higher Dao Path.
This is also his way.
Therefore, the first Natal Spirit Plant he refined in his early years was the "Thorn Vine". Through this vine, Ling Pengyun relied on his comprehension to create the powerful Combined Attack Technique "Thorn Python".
This technique was of great help to Ling Pengyun when he Foundation Establishment.
Then, Ling Pengyun refined the second Natal Spirit Plant, "Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass". Although it was refined late, the grass had extraordinary effects.
If this herb's quality were to surpass Ling Pengyun's cultivation level, it would be equivalent to another Dantian for Ling Pengyun.
It can fill Ling Pengyun's Golden Core with spiritual power in an instant.
It can be said that Thorn Vine and the Ren Water Blue Cloud Grass were created to assist Ling Pengyun in battle.
