The time allotted for using the "Lingxiao Ripening Technique" on the Spirit Plant every three days was squeezed out from the cultivation time.

Early the next morning.

It wasn't until the sun rose that Ling Pengyun awoke from his cultivation, stood up, walked outside the cave, absorbed some of the First Sun Power, and then climbed to the Azure Stone Mountain, reaching the edge of the six acres of Spirit Field.

Although this season's Spirit Plant have only been planted for about six and a half months, they are already nearing maturity thanks to the "Grade B Spirit Soil," the Cloud and Cloud Rain Technique, and the Lingxiao Ripening Technique —two Spirit Plant Secret Method —in those six acres of Spirit Field.

Since Ling Pengyun became First Rank Middle Grade Spirit Planter, he has been able to accelerate the growth rate of First Rank Middle Grade- tier Spirit Plant, including First Rank Low Grade spirit plants, by 50% when he uses the second level of Lingxiao Ripening Technique ". It also slightly increases the medicinal properties of Spirit Plant and the number of fruits produced by multi-fruited Spirit Plant.

If one can fully comprehend this second-level Ripening Technique, it can even accelerate the growth rate of Spirit Plant by 60%.

"Judging from the condition of these Spirit Plant, they should be fully mature by the end of next month." Ling Pengyun looked at the thriving Spirit Plant in the six acres of Spirit Field, his expression slightly pleased, and muttered to himself.

Coming to his senses, Ling Pengyun didn't waste any more time. He formed hand Hand Seals and summoned a blue Law Seals, which he then placed above the Spirit Field.

Between Mount Sumeru, the Law Seals that was suspended in the air transformed into a huge white cloud, covering all six acres of Spirit Field.

"Fall!"

Each drop of Spirit Rain, condensed from spiritual energy, falls into the six acres of Spirit Field, seeps into the Spirit Soil, and nourishes the Spirit Plant planted there.

After Ling Pengyun broke through to the Qi Training Seventh Layer, his Divine Sense greatly increased. He was able to use the Cloud Rain Technique to cover all six acres of Spirit Field and irrigate them with Spirit Rain. This saved Ling Pengyun half the time. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ling Pengyun had irrigated the six acres of Spirit Field.

In the past, when Qi Training Middle Stage, due to my Divine Sense, I had to use the Cloud Rain Technique to irrigate six acres of Spirit Field in two separate sessions.

Ling Pengyun waved his hand to dispel the Cloud Rain Technique, then turned to look at the two "Yellow-Feathered Sparrow" and a "Gray-Feathered Roc" guarding the six acres of Spirit Field in the sky.

Today, he was in a good mood. Considering that the two guardians of the Spirit Field had been diligently protecting the Spirit Field and fighting against the poisonous insects and birds attracted by the Spirit Plant, Ling Pengyun waved his hand and took out a piece of Blazing Fire Wolf more than ten catties from his Storage Bag. With a slight thought, he triggered the Recognition of Ownership Restriction within the two birds in the sky that had already noticed the appearance of the wolf meat but dared not land, and summoned them to the ground to eat the wolf meat.

The two birds had long coveted the wolf meat imbued with Spiritual Qi. Upon receiving the signal, they quickly landed and began to frantically devour the wolf meat.

Before long, the bellies of the two birds were bulging, but they continued to devour the wolf meat without stopping.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun shook his head and said helplessly.

"A beast without intelligence is indeed foolish."

To prevent the two birds from bursting their bellies, Ling Pengyun had no choice but to call the two "greedy" birds away and wave his hand to put the piece of demon wolf flesh into his Storage Bag.

Seeing the two birds' hesitant expressions, Ling Pengyun explained helplessly, "I'll feed you again tomorrow. Just guard these six acres of Spirit Field well."

The two birds, having passed the Recognition of Ownership Restriction, understood Ling Pengyun's words and were overjoyed. They then flapped their wings and flew into the sky.

Ling Pengyun returned to the cave halfway up the mountain, sat cross-legged on Meditation Mat, and as usual began to study the Earthly Fiend Swordplay Secret.

Being engrossed in his arduous training, Ling Pengyun was completely unaware of the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-June.

At noon on this day, Ling Ruxian, who was specially sent to offer sacrifices, rode a Immortal Spirit Crane to Azure Stone Mountain.

Because Ling Rufan had already given Ling Pengyun the Weapon Refinement Materials at the beginning of the year, this time Ling Rufan was simply delivering the offerings for the next six months to Ling Pengyun as usual.

Ling Rufan presented the offerings to Ling Pengyun, and as usual, while it was still light, he rode the Immortal Spirit Crane away from Azure Stone Mountain and headed to the spiritual mountain guarded by his grandson, Ling Pengcheng, hundreds of miles away.

No sooner had he left than Ling Pengyun pondered for a while, and then also commanded Green Travel Leaf to leave Azure Stone Mountain.

At midnight, Ling Pengyun appeared at the entrance of the Cloud Mist Market and entered the market.

It was already late, and not a single cultivator could be seen in the market. The five shops deep within the market were also tightly closed and without any lights.

Ling Pengyun walked to the Lingxiao Rice Hall and knocked on the door.

A series of knocks sounded on the door.

After a while, the slightly angry voice of Mi Ling Rushui, came from inside.

"Fellow Daoists outside, if you are not going to buy spiritual items, do not knock on the door."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun, who was outside the shop, gave an awkward smile and called out.

"My Fifteenth Great Grandfather was me."

Just awakened from his sleep, Ling Rushui, who was barely suppressing his anger, heard Ling Pengyun's voice and his anger immediately dissipated. Instead, a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly opened the shop door, invited Ling Pengyun into the shop, and they began to chat.

Their conversation didn't end until the early morning of the following day.

The old man Ling Rushui, went to make breakfast, while Ling Pengyun went up to a quiet room on the second floor of the Rice Hall, opened the window, and absorbed some of the First Sun Power.

After having breakfast, Ling Pengyun first spent eighteen Spirit Stone to buy the only three First Rank Middle Grade Azure Silk Peach from the rice shop. Then he went to four other shops in the market and spent sixty Spirit Stone to buy ten First Rank Middle Grade spirit fruits.

After purchasing these thirteen spirit fruits, the 168 Spirit Stone that the Lineage had distributed for the next six months of offerings the day before were immediately halved.

Although the amount of Spirit Stone was small, it did not deter Ling Pengyun from spending Spirit Stone.

He stood in front of the counter displaying Spirit Talisman Cave at the Azure Bamboo Talisman Hall in the Cloud Mist Market for a long time, recalling the powerful effects of the Golden Light Talisman during his battle with the Ghost Fiend Couple. He made up his mind to buy a First-Tier Superior-Grade Golden Light Talisman for twenty Spirit Stone.

After leaving the talisman hall, Ling Pengyun went to visit the Cloud Mist Weapon Refinement Hall and used the last seventy Spirit Stone he had to purchase seven sets of materials for refining the Azure Bamboo Sword.

After purchasing these spiritual items, Ling Pengyun bid farewell to Ling Rushui and left the Cloud Mist Market.

After returning to Azure Stone Mountain, Ling Pengyun used the spiritual materials from the seven Azure Bamboo Sword he bought in the Cloud Mist Market to forge a total of five Azure Bamboo Sword. After deducting the seventy Spirit Stone used to buy the materials, he sold each sword to his Lineage for twenty-five Spirit Stone, making a net profit of fifty-five Spirit Stone.

As the ascetic practice continued, time passed day by day, and by mid-July, the three kinds of Spirit Plant on the Azure Stone Mountain had matured one after another.

At the end of August, the seven Songhua Chicken Spirit Egg hatched into seven baby Songhua Spirit Chicken covered with pine flower patterns.

After hatching, the seven Little Pine Flower Chicken were kept by Ling Pengyun in a cave halfway up the mountain and fed daily with Yellow Jade Spirit Grain).
