Demon God Jumang
Lu Qingfeng certainly couldn't cultivate spirit medicine in the mine.
However, Peak Rain Mountain is perfectly fine.
This mountain may not have the same Spiritual Qi as Silver Horn Mountain, but with careful cultivation and the installation of several spirit-gathering and purification formations, it can become one of the most Spirit Mountain in the Gathering Cloud Mountains within a few years.
While Lu Qingfeng was leading Qingyu to open up cave abode on the mountain, he was also opening up a medicinal herb garden.
Cultivating medicinal herbs is no easy task; cultivating spirit medicine is even more difficult.
Lu Qingfeng separated ordinary medicinal herbs from spirit medicine, creating two separate herb gardens. He then set up restrictions in the gardens, such as those related to Spring Breeze and Rainfall, gathering Spiritual Qi, and regulating the earth's energy.
They immediately became two excellent medicinal herb gardens.
As soon as the seeds arrived, we began cultivating them.
Cultivating medicinal herbs and spirit medicine on his own was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Back in the Chiyan Realm, Lu Qingfeng had been dabbling in this practice. After arriving in the Evergreen Realm, where spirit medicine were scarce, he became even more dedicated to it.
Over the years, I'm far from being a master.
But at least it can make the seeds germinate, spirit medicine will not die.
Having a solid foundation is enough.
As for the rest—
"Out!"
Lu Qingfeng planted the seeds, as well as the transplanted medicinal herbs and spirit medicine plants. With a thought, a demon god burst forth from his body.
It is as green as bamboo, with a bird's body and a human face, and rides two dragons!
It was none other than Jumang Demon God.
After defeating Late Cloud Peak, Lu Qingfeng returned to the Nameless hill to recuperate. He obtained Ironfire Ant Eggs and later came to Peak Rain Mountain to cultivate the land.
Let's do a closer look.
Two months have passed.
During this period, although Lu Qingfeng had not fully recovered from his injuries, he was able to re-contemplate and condense the vanished Jumang Demon God.
The Jumang Demon God emerged and landed in the herb garden.
Beneath its feet, two dragons roared, spewing forth emerald light. The demon god pressed down with its claws, opening its mouth to unleash a cloud of azure mist. The mist enveloped the herb garden, radiating joy and happiness, and permeating the air with abundant vitality.
Enveloped in mist, the medicinal herbs whose seeds had just been planted sprouted and grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they were almost mature. The transplanted herbs also quickly recovered from their wilting state and regained their vitality.
Only Jumang Demon God.
It continuously exhaled and exhaled a blue mist, its form gradually dimming.
Just as his divine body was flickering between light and shadow, about to dissipate, Lu Qingfeng flicked out half a coin of Heavenly Silver. Jumang Demon God swallowed it whole, then crashed into Lu Qingfeng, merging into his divine body to focus on refining the Heavenly Silver and repairing its damage.
Lu Qingfeng stepped forward and was delighted to see the lush and vibrant medicinal herbs in the herb garden.
"Jumang Demon God".
"Having mastered the Way of Wood, it is perfectly suited for cultivating medicinal herbs."
Certainly.
This is why Lu Qingfeng enhanced the "Twelve Dutian Demon God Method" to the Profound Grade, resulting in such wonderful effects.
The Jumang Demon God, created by the Rogue Person Blazing Fire using Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method, can only aid him in battle and cannot perform any of the mystical uses of accelerating the ripening of medicinal herbs.
"Jumang Demon God".
Lu Qingfeng felt the Jumang Demon God resting within his body and pondered quietly.
With the Jumang Demon God around, cultivating medicinal herbs is incredibly easy. He exhaled a breath of green mist, filling the garden with the fragrance of herbs.
The effect is remarkable.
However Jumang Demon God himself also expended a considerable amount of energy.
After all, this method of accelerating the ripening of medicinal herbs consumes the very essence of Jumang Demon God. Apart from Lu Qingfeng's slow refining and absorption of the thoughts of all the demon gods to restore it, only Heavenly Silver can enable Jumang Demon God to recover quickly at this stage.
The former takes a very long time.
Based on the energy consumed by the Jumang Demon God, it will take Lu Qingfeng at least a month to recover.
The latter's advantage lies in its speed.
With enough Heavenly Silver, one night is enough to recover.
The only problem is that the consumption of Heavenly Silver is enormous. Every three times, one qian of Heavenly Silver is consumed, which is equivalent to about thirty-three Spirit Stone per time!
Lu Qingfeng earned only twelve coins of Heavenly Silver in a year in Shangyang Country, which was not even enough for Jumang Demon God's consumption thirty-six times.
"Once a month is not bad."
"There's no need to waste Heavenly Silver."
Lu Qingfeng was just used to spending lavishly in the Evergreen Realm. In reality, where would he find so much Heavenly Silver to waste?
Lu Qingfeng looked at the herb garden.
The newly planted medicinal herbs in the herb garden had all taken root and sprouted, saving about a year.
Following this trend, at most one year, one could obtain enough medicinal herbs for a ten-year supply from a five-acre medicinal garden.
"Most of the medicinal materials I need for cultivating pills can be obtained from the Sunset Glow Sect. However, there are a few medicinal materials that are difficult to cultivate, and even the Sunset Glow Sect has difficulty obtaining them. There are also seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials for refining Ironfire Ant Insect Feed, which are either unwilling to be cultivated by ordinary medicinal gardens or simply not available at all."
"For now, we can only rely on our own efforts. But it is still the right way to have the Sunset Glow Sect do its best to collect them, or to have someone specially trained them."
"I am planting these common medicinal herbs now only to solve my immediate problem."
Lu Qingfeng pondered for a moment.
Before reaching the Foundation Establishment, he had never considered cultivating medicinal herbs. Now that Foundation Establishment and was visualizing and refining the Jumang Demon God, he could finally cultivate them on his own.
But good steel should be used on the blade.
Ordinary medicinal herbs are not worth the Jumang Demon God; only spirit medicine are worth it!
"Based on experience in the game, Jumang Demon God, Foundation Establishment stage, he can make a spirit medicine seed grow into a hundred-year-old spirit medicine in an instant by using his full power once."
"A hundred-year-old spirit medicine is far superior to spirit medicine is only a few decades old when used in medicine or alchemy."
It would be a pity to abandon the Divine Ability of the Jumang Demon God.
Lu Qingfeng then sought out nine of the most difficult to collect and most precious spirit medicine.
They can be cultivated from seeds or transplanted.
In this way, Lu Qingfeng can continuously refine pills and Ironfire Ant Insect Feed by collecting the remaining spirit medicine through the Sunset Glow Sect and combining them with the spirit medicine he cultivates himself.
After arranging the medicinal herb garden, Lu Qingfeng began setting up restrictions and formations on Peak Rain Mountain.
He had studied array formations and restrictions in the Evergreen Realm for over a hundred years, and with Heavenly Silver's help, he had progressed rapidly, becoming a master in the field. He hadn't set them up before because his cultivation was still shallow, and he was worried that others would associate them with the disappearance of the Hundred Herbs Garden.
At this moment, his cultivation has broken through to the Foundation Establishment, and he is fearless in the Gathering Cloud Mountains.
Since they intend to settle here permanently, they will no longer conceal themselves.
Layer upon layer of restrictions, array formations.
Lu Qingfeng exerted all his abilities to transform Peak Rain Mountain into an impregnable fortress and a ferocious beast. A spirit-gathering array enveloped the area, slowly and continuously gathering the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
The spirit-gathering formation obtained from "The True Exposition of the Celestial Lord's Formation Dao" may not surpass the level of the entire Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, but at least within the Gathering Cloud Mountains, it is absolutely unmatched.
Given time, the unremarkable peaks Peak Rain Mountain will surely become the most Spirit Mountain in the Gathering Cloud Mountains.
Behind Peak Rain Mountain.
There are also Sinkhole Mine Mountain.
Unlike Peak Rain Mountain, Sinkhole Mine Mountain was used by Lu Qingfeng to cultivate Ironfire Ants.
Ironfire Ants have demanding environmental requirements.
The place for survival must contain various copper and iron minerals, and must be a hot place such as magma and geothermal fire.
Lu Qingfeng obtained the Sinkhole Mine Mountain from the Sunset Glow Sect.
Given his status in the Sunset Glow Sect and the value of his newly refined Blazing Sun Pill, the Sunset Glow Sect would be more than happy to hand over a mere mine.
So Lu Qingfeng came to the Sinkhole Mine Mountain, used an array to communicate with the underground magma and earth fire, and drew down the essence of the sun from the sky, turning it into a thin layer of True Solar Flame.
In this environment, as long as there is sufficient copper and iron ore, mixed with specially made insect food, it is possible.
Once hatched, Ironfire Ants will grow and mature rapidly, eventually reaching a significant scale.
Unfortunately, I can't write fast enough, and I didn't have any drafts saved up. I wrote until 11 PM last night, almost pulling an all-nighter, but in the end, I didn't win the game.
