Planting Pseudo Spirit Plants, Spirit Plants

However, the emergence of the deduction function was still highly significant.

Zhang Wan understood the importance of this function even more clearly.

Although he couldn't use it much at the current stage, it would definitely be of great use in the future.

Not to mention anything else, if he couldn't obtain the Sect's true Core cultivation technique, the "Jade Bone Fist Manual," in the future, he would have to rely on this deduction function to acquire a true Core cultivation technique.

Even if he did obtain the Jade Bone Fist Manual.

The Jade Bone Fist Manual also had an upper limit. Once he finished cultivating the technique, he would still need to rely on the deduction function to deduce subsequent cultivation techniques.

Thinking about how much EXP it would take to deduce Postnatal cultivation techniques, the EXP required to deduce true Core or even higher-grade cultivation techniques in the future would be an astronomical figure.

For a moment, Zhang Wan felt a headache coming on.

"I really can't waste EXP. The more I can hoard, the better. There are still many places I'll need EXP in the future."

Zhang Wan said to himself.

Of course, Zhang Wan didn't feel too much pressure.

There was still a long time before he needed to deduce a true Core cultivation technique.

That was enough time for him to save a large amount of EXP.

At midnight, the small gift box that randomly appeared on the panel gave him three EXP, which somewhat compensated for the large amount of EXP Zhang Wan had spent today.

The next afternoon, Zhang Wan dragged the iron plow to the spirit land he had rented.

Last night, he had memorized the habits of the three pseudo spirit plants he had bought: red fruit, earth fruit, and Hemi. Now, all he needed to do was till the spirit land and plant the seeds.

Previously, when he was at home in Quanjian Village, Zhang Wan had to pull the plow himself, and his second sister had to guide it from behind.

Now, he could guide the plow by himself, without needing anything or a water buffalo pulling it from the front. He could directly break open the soil and plow furrows.

Even an entire mu of land could be tilled by him alone within half a day!

Compared to when he first broke through, both his mana and physical strength had improved significantly.

Of course, using a water buffalo would be easier, but saving that bit of effort was no longer necessary for Zhang Wan.

With his own strength, Zhang Wan tilled the entire mu of spirit land.

Furthermore, the mu of spirit land was divided into three sections, with different furrow depths and varying degrees of soil fragmentation.

This was because the three pseudo spirit plants required different soil environments, which was why Zhang Wan made the distinction.

After tilling the spirit land, it was already dark. Zhang Wan dragged the iron plow and took some soil from the spirit land back with him.

He put this soil into the ceramic pots he had previously obtained from the handyman.

Before putting them in, Zhang Wan had also treated them differently.

Some were crushed before being put in, some were put in as large chunks, and some were compacted after being put into the pots, leaving no gaps.

All these actions created different soil environments.

He planned to sow the seeds in the spirit land tomorrow, but he intended to plant the seeds in the ceramic pots in the small courtyard today.

He planned to use these ceramic pots to grow the five spirit plants he had purchased.

Spirit plants were much harder to grow than pseudo spirit plants, and their seeds were also much more expensive. Keeping them under his watchful eye and carefully tending to them would minimize problems.

"Small Jade Bamboo Rice, Dwarf Apricot, Water Green Cucumber, Fire Blood Grass, and Spider Silk Grass. If planted in small quantities, these five spirit plants do not require much space. One seed per ceramic pot is sufficient."

"Instead, they have requirements regarding spiritual energy and soil."

The spiritual energy in the small courtyard was neither good nor bad; it was barely enough to meet the needs of planting Postnatal low-grade spirit plants.

After all, there was a minor spirit vein beneath the Beginner Martial Arts Academy, and the spiritual energy provided by the minor spirit vein was just enough for Postnatal martial artists and Postnatal spirit items.

If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual energy emanating from the spirit vein under the Beginner Martial Arts Academy was mainly occupied by the academy's dean, vice dean, and a few powerful instructor martial masters, and only a small portion was distributed to them, who were Postnatal students of the academy.

Let alone planting Postnatal low-grade spirit plants, even Postnatal high-grade or top-grade spirit plants could be grown!

Zhang Wan took out some of the purchased spirit fertilizer and sprinkled it into the ceramic pots. Then, he sorted the five spirit plant seeds and planted five seeds of each type into the soil in the pots.

After planting them all, Zhang Wan cast the Vitality Catalysis Technique on each pot to stimulate the seeds' vitality.

He didn't use the Extreme Growth Technique.

The Vitality Catalysis Technique only made the seeds easier to germinate and grow, without causing them to grow wildly. This way, others would find it difficult to discern his true cultivation level.

In addition to sowing the spirit plant seeds, Zhang Wan also moved several ceramic pots filled with soil and spirit fertilizer into his room.

He took out a few seeds of red fruit, earth fruit, and Hemi and planted them in these ceramic pots.

He couldn't cultivate the pseudo spirit plants in the spirit land or the courtyard freely.

But these few pots moved into his room didn't require any such considerations.

He could freely use the Vitality Catalysis Technique and the Extreme Growth Technique.

He wouldn't take them out; no one would see them, and no one would know.

His second sister and third brother wouldn't enter his room, nor would they know what he was doing in there.

In ordinary families, siblings' rooms could be entered freely.

However, martial artists value privacy. Even their partners and family members wouldn't casually enter another person's cultivation space.

Zhang Wan had told his second and third younger siblings this when he brought them to the small courtyard, and they had always been obedient, never entering his room.

After planting the seeds, Zhang Wan cast the Vitality Catalysis Technique and Extreme Growth Technique on them.

In an instant, the seeds of the red fruit, earth fruit, and hemi sprouted and grew. In a short time, they broke through the soil and were growing at a speed exceeding that of ordinary pseudo spirit plants.

"Ordinary pseudo spirit plants need three to four months to grow from seed to maturity."

"But looking at the growth rate of these pseudo spirit plants, they'll probably mature in ten days to half a month."

"The growth time has been shortened by several times!"

"The Extreme Cultivation Method is truly powerful!"

Zhang Wan was delighted. Once these pseudo spirit plants matured, he would be able to obtain pseudo-spiritual items continuously.

With the support of these pseudo-spiritual items, his cultivation speed could be further improved.

Of course, during his time at the academy, Zhang Wan didn't plan to surpass Xu Hui.

Previously, he had managed to keep pace with Xu Hui by comprehending the Postnatal first-tier cultivation technique in advance and using EXP.

Later, if he obtained a large number of pseudo-spiritual items, he could maintain the same level as Xu Hui while consuming less EXP.

"Once the pseudo spirit plants in the spirit land mature, I can also take them to the Yunmeng Market near the Beginner Martial Arts Academy to exchange for other cultivation resources."

"Or I can use them to trade spirit items with other Postnatal individuals at the academy."

Zhang Wan planned to build up some assets during his time at the academy. This way, after graduating, in addition to his cultivation and martial skills, he would also have some other means at his disposal.

This would allow him to handle any unexpected situations.

Even though he had decided to join the Spirit Planter Hall, it wasn't guaranteed that the Spirit Planter Hall would be entirely peaceful.

Joining the Spirit Planter Hall wouldn't completely shield him from conflict.

He would still have to fight with others.

It was just that the frequency of combat wouldn't be as high as for other outer disciples.
