Ji An found himself in a difficult position. He had originally planned to take out some mulberries to exchange for fifth-tier resources, never expecting Fifth-Tier Low-Grade mulberries to provide so much Dao charm.
That being the case, he could not bear to trade the mulberries for resources. Yet if he did this, the advancement of his other Spiritual Treasures to the fifth tier would have to be delayed, as would the time he obtained a pill furnace.
After pondering the pros and cons for a moment, he gave up on selling the mulberries. He now possessed a Natal Spiritual Treasure focused on defense, as well as Yin and Yang Divine Thunder at the Great Perfection level. His desire to bolster his combat power was not urgent.
He would consume the mulberries to increase his Dao charm, then use that Dao charm to accelerate the growth of spirit plants, allowing him to possess a fifth-tier Spirit Vein sooner.
If the Spirit Vein grade of his small world could be raised several years earlier, why would he need to worry about lacking more fifth-tier spirit plants?
Moreover, once the Spirit Vein grade increased, it could nourish him in return. It was also a way to accelerate the improvement of his cultivation.
Having made his decision, Ji An rode the clouds to the side of the Azure Firmament Divine Jade Tree.
With his current abilities, he did not need to activate spirit clouds to fly quickly at all. Yet out of habit, he still subconsciously rode clouds whenever he flew. Otherwise, he always felt that something was missing.
He sank his consciousness into his dantian, connected with the Stone Turtle, and issued an order:
"Refine the Dao charm and raise the spirit tree's grade."
The Stone Turtle flew out from his Lower Dantian
