Fang Zheng was quite interested in this matter.
During his days on the Immortal Ascension Road, Fang Zheng had been busy reviving the Taiyin Human Emperor, which was why he hadn't thought of this.
Otherwise, no matter what, he would have at least tried using the bone meal on the plants within the Mighty Pass to see what would grow if they could be accelerated.
Under Creative Mode, although any block could be instantly destroyed, gathering tools like pickaxes couldn't normally collect items. Even trying to break plants with bare hands to obtain unfamiliar seeds wouldn't work in Creative Mode.
Even if he wanted to try planting with dirt blocks, there were no relevant spiritual medicine seeds or anything similar.
Although he could obtain liquids with iron buckets and bottles, it was limited to liquids only.
And with TNT explosions, while block drops could be obtained, exploding plants didn't guarantee success.
It was the same when using pistons to push and break them.
And if he used a water bucket to place flowing water, there was also a problem.
In MC, ordinary weeds, when washed away by flowing water, would be directly destroyed, with a very low chance of dropping seeds. Moreover, the seeds that dropped were not those of weeds.
Fang Zheng couldn't be sure what category the plants in this world fell into according to MC's item judgment.
If they were similar to trees in MC, then it would be difficult to obtain seeds by exploding them with TNT, and they couldn't be pushed by pistons.
If they were similar to flower bushes, then they could indeed be obtained by exploding them with TNT, but the success rate wasn't 100%.
If they were judged as weeds, then it was even more impossible to obtain them.
As of now, Fang Zheng couldn't be sure if he could return to this Cultivation World at will, so he didn't dare to switch to Survival Mode lightly to try and collect items.
Otherwise, even if they were judged as weeds or leaves, as long as he enchanted them with Silk Touch, he could obtain them.
But that was still too dangerous.
After all, the destructive power displayed by these cultivators was truly astonishing.
Even if he accidentally got hit by a trace of the aftermath, his meager health in Survival Mode would likely be instantly depleted.
And once his health reached zero, although Fang Zheng believed he would respawn, the respawn location was unpredictable.
Whether he would return to the world's set respawn point or the MC world was entirely uncertain.
Although there was a shortcut command in the command bar to set the spawn point, theoretically, he could set a spawn point that didn't rely on a bed.
But this led to another problem.
Although Fang Zheng didn't know a lot, he understood a little about relativity.
In the MC world, spacetime was more akin to the absolute smooth spacetime view of early relativity. The overall spacetime coordinates were fixed and could be precisely described by three numerical coordinates.
Therefore, precise movement could also be achieved using teleportation commands.
In this Cultivation World, Fang Zheng had clearly observed phenomena like redshift and blueshift.
He had also seen scenes of the universe and starry sky.
This meant that this world was more likely to approximate the relative spacetime view described by relativity.
In such relative spacetime, three axes alone could not perfectly describe all spacetime coordinate points.
If a spawn point was set, by what standard would this spawn point be determined?
Would it be fixed in a fictional, absolutely unchanging coordinate system, or would it change with the variations in the world's relative spacetime?
This was a very troublesome issue, which was why Fang Zheng absolutely dared not use coordinate teleportation commands.
If the coordinate Fang Zheng entered did not exist in the relative spacetime of this Cultivation World, then the numbers Fang Zheng entered would likely become something akin to imaginary numbers.
It would be fine if the teleportation failed. But what if it succeeded, and he was teleported to an imaginary space that only existed in mathematical theory? It would be truly difficult to say whether he could get out again using coordinate teleportation.
Besides, his Healing Potions and Golden Apples, while indeed useful against these cultivators, only increased the health of cultivators in the Cultivation World by a very small amount per use.
After all, a Healing Potion only increased health by a few stars, and these cultivators had increasingly high health.
If one were to calculate it strictly, they might have tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even tens of trillions of hearts.
Relying on these potions and Golden Apples to restore health would be too much effort, requiring the consumption of so many Healing Potions, which was too troublesome.
If the bone meal could be used to make the spiritual medicines and elixirs already present in this world grow, it would be very useful.
"Didn't Taiyin say there's something called Immortal Medicine in this world, and it's very precious with only a few dozen in the entire universe?"
"If the bone meal works, then I'll grow some Immortal Medicine."
While thinking this, Fang Zheng opened his inventory, found the bone meal, and held it in his hand, using it on the Nine Nether Yin Yang Bone Shedding Ganoderma that was standing alone on the cliff.
As he waved his hand gently, some pixelated green star-shaped special effects instantly appeared on the Nine Nether Yin Yang Bone Shedding Ganoderma.
The spiritual medicine that should have taken thousands of years to grow and absorb massive amounts of Yin Sha Qi and the essence of the sun and moon...
In the next frame, under the shocked gaze of Jiang Tingting, a mighty cultivator at the second stage of the Immortal Platform, it shot up by a section out of thin air, with no intermediate growth process.
It was as if it wasn't growing, but rather its original state was replaced with its current appearance out of nowhere.
"It really works! Bone meal doesn't have a setting for adding health; instead, it has a 75% chance of directly accelerating it to the next stage!"
"It seems that the noble percentage is quite useful, even for these spiritual medicines that take an extremely long time to grow, they can be directly accelerated to the next stage."
In just a moment, Fang Zheng continuously waved his hand, using bone meal. The Ganoderma bodies in front of him grew several sections out of thin air before suddenly withering.
Then, two brand new small Nine Nether Yin Yang Bone Shedding Ganodermas suddenly appeared nearby. Fang Zheng was a little confused, "Ah, is this like using too much fertilizer, burning the roots, or just dying of old age?"
Fang Zheng seemed to understand. "Although I can use bone meal, I need to be careful about how many times I use it, so I don't make the spirit medicine die of old age."
"No..." Jiang Tingting was silent for a moment in shock. She waved her hand, and her divine power transformed into an invisible large hand, carefully plucking the withered Nine Nether Yin Yang Bone Shedding Ganoderma.
Holding the withered, wood-like Ganoderma body, she flicked her finger. Its withered exterior turned to ash and scattered, leaving behind a small, crimson-gold Ganoderma body inside, resembling a jade ruyi.
The crimson-gold Ganoderma body flowed with a soft, vibrant light like the morning sun, accompanied by a faint, fresh fragrance.
Taking a shallow breath, a tiny yet incredibly pure strand of Yang He energy intertwined with a bit of Shaoyin Power was absorbed into Jiang Tingting's body, making even her, a powerful cultivator of the second immortal stage, feel a wave of comfort.
The extremely powerful Taiyin Power within her body seemed to be soothed by this wisp of Yang He energy and Shaoyin Power, becoming a little gentler and smoother.
Driven by her body's instinctive craving for this energy, Jiang Tingting could feel that if she were to refine this Ganoderma body, she would gain immense benefits.
Sniffing the elegant medicinal fragrance, she finally reacted. She flipped her palm, and a delicate treasure box carved from divine source was used to store the jade ruyi-like Ganoderma body, preventing any excess medicinal power from leaking out.
Immediately, she respectfully offered the treasure box with both hands. Fang Zheng shook his head, "It's for you."
After accepting it, Jiang Tingting looked at Fang Zheng with complex emotions in her eyes and said:
"Senior, according to ancient texts, when the Nine Nether Yin Yang Bone Shedding Ganoderma matures, the accumulated Yin energy and death energy of thousands of years will reverse. Yin will turn into Yang, and death will turn into life. All impurities will be discarded, transforming into the purest Yang He energy and life force through the changes of Yin-Yang conversion and life-death reversal, along with some gentle Shaoyin Power."
"The probability of successfully transforming is extremely low, but once successful, it can become a Medicine King, second only to Immortal Medicine in preciousness. It can cleanse the marrow, change one's aptitude, extend the life of a withered and dying physical body or Primordial Spirit, or lay the most solid foundation for a peerless genius."
"According to the Jiang family's ancient texts, this is even a very important ingredient for the legendary Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, which can allow one to ascend to immortality on the spot."
"Senior..."
Jiang Tingting's explanation paused as she watched Fang Zheng's actions, muttering with a hint of existential doubt:
"Can Senior Fang create even things like this so casually?"
Swish, swish, swish...
While Jiang Tingting was explaining, Fang Zheng had been continuously using bone meal.
In just over twenty seconds, he had caused the Nine Nether Yin Yang Bone Shedding Ganodermas, which continuously matured and then shed their spores to propagate, to densely cover a large area of the cliff face, numbering in the hundreds.
What was originally an incredibly precious top-tier Medicine King, requiring thousands of years to mature a single plant in a place rich with spiritual energy, nourished by an entire Yin Sha earth vein, was now growing everywhere like mushrooms in a forest after rain, ripe for the picking.
Hundreds of mature bodies, due to being too crowded, had their withered outer shells crushed. The crushed crimson-gold jade ruyi Ganoderma bodies directly erupted with a rich medicinal fragrance.
The medicinal power emanating from them permeated the protective formation, causing the plants and trees in the forest next to the cliff to grow explosively as if under a 'Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence' spell. Various rare and exotic beasts also became agitated.
Seeing a giant, ten-meter-tall wild elephant suddenly roar and leap off the cliff, Fang Zheng finally turned his blocky head and asked, "Huh? What did you just say? I wasn't paying attention."
Looking at the Ganoderma bodies that resembled shattered jade, Jiang Tingting, who hadn't lacked spiritual herbs for cultivation for many years, felt a pang of heartache.
Taking a deep breath and releasing a bit of her pressure to quell the commotion outside, she calmly said, "It's nothing."
Seeing the jade ruyis packed tightly together, Fang Zheng nodded. "Yeah, it seems bone meal is indeed useful. These are for you."
Fang Zheng pondered.
"What else should I try next?"
"Right!" Fang Zheng suddenly remembered. "Didn't you say earlier that there's an unhatched Cold Flood Dragon Egg in the cold pool at the bottom of this mountain range?"
