Spirit-Raising Garden?

As dusk falls and the afterglow of the setting sun grows longer, the thick fog falling on Buyun Valley appears even denser and more serene.

The golden expanse of the mountains on both sides of the valley forms a distinct upper and lower structure.

From a distance, it looks like a small beast with half its face veiled, crouching in the wilderness.

On both sides of the entrance to Buyun Valley, there are also many Purple Poison Bramble planted, which seems to make it convenient for the cultivators inside to use the Wood Vine Technique to activate it and fight enemies at any time.

The two arrived at the valley entrance. For safety's sake, Ye Jingcheng released the Jade Ring Rat, which ran to the valley entrance. Even with the Lineage's magic array, it was better to be safe than sorry.

After all, the Array might be a coincidence, and the power of the Array, combined with that of a peak Qi Refining cultivator, could easily cause serious injury or death to Foundation Establishment cultivator in a sneak attack.

It was accompanied by two squeaks from the Jade Ring Rat.

From within the valley, another figure emerged, dressed in a black robe, his eyes also filled with doubt.

The figure looked familiar, and the next moment, several Five Poison Bee appeared on his shoulder.

Ye Jingcheng immediately understood.

"Seventh Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu stepped out from the side.

"Jingcheng, Jingyu, you've arrived?" The figure in black robes was none other than Ye Xingqun.

He then frowned slightly, because Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu were not wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe at the moment.

This is a major taboo for the Ye Family's style of doing things.

If news of their visit to the Li Family gets out, it will be a huge problem.

"Taihao Master has already handed over the decision-making power to our Ye Family, so Seventh Uncle can rest assured!" Ye Jingyu added with a smile, dispelling Ye Xingqun's doubts.

As far as the Lineage is concerned, whether or not Taihao Master hands the Li Family over to the Ye Family for disposal, it will not prevent the Ye Family from plundering them.

Therefore, Ye Xingqun and his group did not receive any further information. The information they received was to take control of Cloud-Spreading Valley and await further instructions.

"It was Third Uncle who sent us to come and take a look. This time, the Lineage has become Purple Mansion Lineage, and the first tribute may need to be a little more!" Ye Jingcheng also spoke up.

Hearing this, Ye Xingqun beamed with joy and welcomed the two inside.

Before this, they were worried that they couldn't protect Cloud-Spreading Valley, but now that Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu are here, no matter how many Bandit Cultivator there are, it won't matter.

Even the Mo Family and Xu Family, without deploying Lineage most elite Foundation Establishment cultivators, could not break through.

However, arranging for such cultivators would be extremely risky, especially if even one member of the Ye Family escaped.

Neither the Mo Family nor the Xu Family will have an easy time; the rules of the sect still hold true.

"Everyone can start planting the spirit medicine you've obtained. Be sure to be careful when transplanting spirit medicine!" Ye Xingqun shouted into the valley before looking at Ye Jingcheng and the other person.

At this time, there were still some other members of the Ye Family at the valley entrance.

"Seventh Uncle, what were the losses in this attack on Cloud-Spreading Valley?" Ye Jingcheng asked with some curiosity.

Upon entering Buyun Valley, his Divine Sense was able to cover the entire valley, and he discovered that there were four medicinal herb gardens scattered throughout it.

Three medicinal gardens with different properties are located in the valley.

There was also a medicinal herb garden nestled in the steep mountains, somewhat resembling terraced fields.

The valley's land utilization rate has been maximized.

Needless to say, the spiritual energy content of the spirit field is many times better than Ye Jingcheng's own meager plot of land.

Therefore, it seems that what brought down the Li Family was not only Li Family elixirs, but also the vast Buyun Valley.

Of course, the Li Family's ambitions are truly considerable. The scale of the spirit medicine in Cloud-Spreading Valley is directly equivalent to a second-tier Spirit Herb Garden. The Xu Family, which specializes in spirit medicine, only has two such Spirit Herb Garden on the surface.

The investment in such Spirit Herb Garden is enormous. Every year, hundreds of Spirit Stones are buried in the soil to form a spiritual array, and various Spirit-Nurturing Liquid are also needed. It should be noted that spirit medicine herbs have an extremely long growth cycle and are suitable for long-term development.

If you calculate it this way, it could cost nearly a thousand Spirit Stone a year; otherwise, you couldn't expect to cultivate spirit medicine intensively in this valley.

"Stop talking. Attacking them is no problem. The only one with high cultivation is still in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, so we don't even need to deal with him. But all the spirit medicine have been pulled out and put into Storage Bag, and some were even destroyed by them before they died!"

"Several of them tried to set fires before they died, but luckily they had set up some magic arrays that they couldn't shut down in time, otherwise our losses would have been much greater."

Clearly, the Li Family had made two preparations. If the ambush on Ye Jingcheng failed, both the spirit medicine and Cloud-Spreading Mountain clan members would be evacuated.

Such a complete removal of spirit medicine would naturally cause many of spirit medicine to lose their spiritual essence, and if the Ye Family were to replant them, the amount of Spirit-Nurturing Liquid they would need to consume would be immeasurable.

Fortunately, the Ye Family was also proceeding at the same time, so no problems arose.

"Jingcheng, it's good that you've come. I was a little worried about these few spirit medicine!" Ye Xingqun then said. Several years had passed, and he had also reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, Ye Xingqun is already over sixty, and now all he wants is a peaceful life.

Hearing him say that, the two guessed what was going on and walked along a blue stone path.

Inside the herb gardens on both sides, Ye Family cultivators were still busy at work.

Those immature spirit medicine now need to be replanted in the herb garden.

This includes many spirit medicine that Ye Jingcheng is familiar with, such as Red Dragon Fruit and Flamefall Grass...

Many of these are relatively common elixirs, such as Qingling Dan, Qinghe Dan, and Chizhi Dan.

It also contains spirit medicine materials for Tier 1 Crimson Flame Pill and Tier 1 Jade-Scale Pill, but the dosage is somewhat low.

The density of these spirit medicine planted is not low. Ye Jingcheng also saw that there is a spirit-gathering array for about one acre of spiritual field, which is specifically used to gather the Spiritual Qi of the valley's Spirit Vein.

As you venture deeper, you'll find spirit medicine materials for second-tier pills such as Fire Heart Pill, Purplewood Pill, and Barrier Breaking Pill on both sides.

This is also spirit medicine that the Ye Family is paying close attention to.

For the Lineage, the cultivation level of the upper-level cultivators has always been the most important.

Once you reach the innermost part of the spirit medicine, you'll find a separate wall that covers the core Spirit Herb Garden.

"Spirit-Raising Garden!" A plaque still hangs at the gate of the wall.

Upon seeing these three words, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile.

The Li Family is really quite organized and methodical.

In the cultivation world, ordinary Spirit Herb Garden are called spiritual fields, so first- and second-tier Spirit Herb Garden generally don't have names. Only third-tier Spirit Herb Garden are given names.

The implication is similar to how cultivators in the Purple Mansion add a Daoist title, both hoping to the Unseen increase their own fortune.

Ye Xingqun continued to lead Ye Jingcheng and the other man inside. They saw that the inside of the wall was crawling with countless Blackwood Ant, which was obviously because Ye Xingqun was worried that someone might take advantage of the loopholes in the Array to sneak in.

Upon entering the Spirit-Raising Garden, one sees only a few scattered spirit medicine in the Spirit Herb Garden.

However, unlike the Spirit Gathering Formation outside, this place has one Spirit Plant and one Spirit Gathering Formation, making it extremely luxurious.

These Spirit Gathering Formation are First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation, and each one contains a mid-grade Spirit Stone.

The Spiritual Qi content here has reached the level of mid-grade second rank.

Of course, according to Ye Xingqun, this Cloud-Spreading Valley is still a second-grade low-level Spirit Vein. However, due to the effect of so many Spirit Gathering Formation in the Spirit Herb Garden, and because it is located in the very center of the Spirit Vein, the spiritual Spiritual Qi content has been raised to a higher level.

It is still slightly inferior to a true second-tier mid-grade Spirit Vein.

However, it still allows ordinary cultivators to feel their internal Cultivation Method automatically activating as soon as they enter.

Even Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised at this moment, because he absorbed the wood element Spiritual Qi of his Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Scripture faster than the other three phases.

Looking at it this way, this might actually be his treasure trove.

Of course, as Alchemist, Ye Jingcheng was most concerned about what kind of spirit medicine were in there, what kind of pills they were suitable for, and whether they would be useful to him.

He glanced over and saw that there were five spirit medicine and one spiritual tree inside.

Each Spirit Plant radiated a spiritual light and was incredibly lush.

Among them are three thousand-year-old spirit medicine and two eight-hundred-year-old spirit medicine.

The three thousand-year-old spirit medicine are a thousand-year-old Blackhead Ganoderma, a thousand-year-old White Jade Flower, and a thousand-year -Heavenly Star Grass.

These three spirit medicine are extremely common in third-tier Pill Formula, and may even appear in some Fourth Stage Pill Formula formulas as auxiliary ingredients.

In the market, it can often sell for three or four thousand Spirit Stone, and there is simply no market for it.

In other words, the Ye Family earned more than 10,000 Spirit Stone just from collecting these three thousand-year-old spirit medicine.

The two spirit medicine, aged eight hundred years, are the Heavenly Crimson Flower and the Blue-Violet Leaf.

When Ye Jingcheng saw the Heavenly Crimson Flower in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't help but look inside the Treasure Book within his body again, and there was indeed the Heavenly Crimson Flower on the Crimson Flame Fox's Pill Formula.

The Heavenly Crimson Flower resembles a flame in appearance, and once it blooms, it never withers. It can even be interpreted as a spiritual herb that closely resembles a spiritual flower.

The length of the flower can be used to determine its age.

It takes a hundred years to grow an inch, and this plant in front of us is exactly eight inches, which means it has just turned eight hundred years old.

The Pill Formula only requires five hundred years of growth, meaning that the Heavenly Crimson Flower is the best material for this elixir.

Including the Fox Red Grass he bought in Taichang Market, he now has two main medicinal materials for the second-tier Crimson Flame Pill.

We're not far from collecting the second-tier Pill Formula for the Crimson Flame Fox.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng was in a great mood. He was the top Alchemist in the Ye Family, and he was qualified to keep the Heavenly Crimson Flower.

Ye Jingcheng paid less attention to the Blue-Violet Leaf next to it. It was a rare spirit medicine, but its rarity also meant that he had fewer Pill Formula to use, so Ye Jingcheng didn't pay any attention to it.

It landed on the last spirit tree.

This spirit tree is not tall, only a little over five feet, and its leaves are small, only the size of a coin.

And it also appears somewhat sparse.

"This is Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree!" Ye Jingcheng exclaimed in disbelief.

This Heavenly Spirit Fruit is one of the three main ingredients of Foundation Establishment, and it is the most precious one. Of course, this is not the Foundation Establishment made by the Ye Family demon cores, but the Foundation Establishment that are openly distributed by the Taiyi Sect.

"I wonder if the Li Family is lucky or unlucky!" Ye Jingcheng sighed after examining the spirit medicine.

The Li Family is Lineage Foundation Establishment has risen to prominence in the last century, and the fact that they have such a foundation already shows that they have excellent fortune.

But the same is true in the Cultivation World; sometimes, if you take too small a step, you will be overtaken by others.

But taking too big a step can easily lead to trouble.
