Having found a stalk of Six-Section Grass, Hu Donghan immediately examined its growth condition before marking it.

However, after making the mark, Hu Donghan immediately realized that observing only one stalk of Six-Section Grass could not ensure the accuracy of the final result. He then found every stalk of Six-Section Grass in this medicinal field and recorded them one by one.

"Within the one mu medicinal field covered by the Medicine Spirit Ghost's medicinal fragrance and yin energy, there are eight stalks of Six-Section Grass. Their growth conditions are 175, 132, 115, 98, 85, 71, 36, and 35 patterns respectively. One of them is already close to maturity."

"According to the growth patterns of Six-Section Grass, if there are sufficient nutrients, it is perfectly normal for several more patterns to grow in a single day. As long as I observe them for another two days, I should be able to roughly understand what is going on."

With that thought, Hu Donghan carefully memorized the locations of the eight stalks of Six-Section Grass before returning indoors to continue cultivating.

Two days passed in succession. In the one mu medicinal field specially tended by the Medicine Spirit Ghost, three more spiritual herbs matured. Four spiritual herbs also matured in the other two Large Medicine Fields, and all of them were delivered into Hu Donghan's hands.

As for Hu Donghan's observation records, the results had finally come out.

Over these two days, every stalk of Six-Section Grass had gained five patterns! This meant that the growth speed of Six-Section Grass was two and a half times the normal rate!

"By this calculation, it is actually one and a half times faster than before? And this one and a half times is achieved only under conditions of absolutely sufficient nutrients."

"Yet the Medicine Spirit Ghost can actually exert its effects for only ten hours a day at most. In other words, the Medicine Spirit Ghost's theoretical cultivation acceleration is not even double! So what exactly is happening now?"

Although Hu Donghan could not explain the reason, this development was undeniably a good thing for him.

If the growth speed of the spiritual herbs could increase so much, it meant Hu Donghan's harvest would also grow considerably. How could he possibly object to that?

"I should still consult the sect's records on this matter. Perhaps they have mentioned it before..."

Thinking this, Hu Donghan put the matter out of his mind.

Life at Little Jade Flat was exceptionally peaceful. Before he knew it, a month had already passed.

Over this month, Hu Donghan still did not have sufficient resources for cultivation, and his cultivation progress was slow. However, he was not particularly worried about it now.

Because of the Medicine Spirit Ghost, none of the medicinal fields at Little Jade Flat had sprouted weeds or suffered any calamities. As for tasks such as watering, as long as the menial disciples handled them properly, Hu Donghan naturally did not need to worry.

As for the spiritual herb yield, the Small Medicine Field Hu Donghan personally focused on alone had produced a full fifty-five spiritual herbs. Of those, the one mu area tended by the Medicine Spirit Ghost had yielded thirty-five spiritual herbs, truly deserving its reputation as highly productive! Aside from the fifty-five spiritual herbs in the Small Medicine Field, the other two Large Medicine Fields had produced another one hundred and thirty-three spiritual herbs. Adding everything together, the total number of spiritual herbs had reached one hundred and eighty-eight!

After handing over the required one hundred, Hu Donghan still retained eighty-eight.

With such results, among the disciples who had overseen Little Jade Flat throughout the generations, he was simply without equal! Yet this was merely Hu Donghan's harvest for a single month. The area specially tended by the Medicine Spirit Ghost did not have the sole advantage of accelerated growth.

Within the area specially tended by the Medicine Spirit Ghost, the death rate of spiritual herbs was less than one-tenth! Next month, barring any accidents, that little over one mu of spiritual herbs could yield as many as two hundred spiritual herbs!

The menial disciples also secretly calculated the total number of spiritual herbs Hu Donghan had harvested. When they arrived at the final figure, every one of them turned red-eyed with envy.

After handing over one hundred spiritual herbs, he could receive the sect's reward. Beyond that, Hu Donghan could keep quite a number of spiritual herbs for himself. Whether he sold these remaining spiritual herbs for money or spent Spirit Stones at Earthfire Hall to refine them into medicinal pills, he would be striking it rich.

Of course, these menial disciples had merely made a rough estimate of the number of spiritual herbs in Hu Donghan's Small Medicine Field based on the spiritual herb counts from the two Large Medicine Fields. If they knew that Hu Donghan could actually keep eighty-eight spiritual herbs, they would probably even entertain thoughts of robbery.

The spiritual herb harvest truly filled Hu Donghan with excitement. But what truly delighted him was not these spiritual herbs—it was that the Medicine Spirit Ghost had grown again over this month!

In terms of cultivation, the Medicine Spirit Ghost had progressed extremely quickly in cultivating the Profound Yin Heart Method, already reaching the Qi Refining First Layer Peak. If not for the limitation imposed by Hu Donghan's strength as its master, it would certainly have reached the Qi Refining Second Layer by now!

The Medicine Spirit Ghost finally possessed spiritual power within its body, and the most obvious sign was that it had become far more energetic. Hu Donghan had also taught it the two spells he knew, and the Medicine Spirit Ghost was now highly proficient in using both spells.

The Medicine Spirit Ghost's increasing strength delighted Hu Donghan. On the other hand, the fact that its grade had begun to rise slowly again made him even more overjoyed.

Every day, the Medicine Spirit Ghost cultivated spiritual herbs, then ate at the Ghost Wraith Restaurant, cultivated, and continuously released and absorbed yin energy and ghost energy. This allowed the Medicine Spirit Ghost to grow noticeably.

Ghost Wraiths originally relied on yin energy and ghost energy to raise their grade and strength. With such abundant feeding, its advancement in grade had become inevitable! The Ghost-Spirit Light within the Medicine Spirit Ghost's body, which represented its grade, had also become an increasingly rich green.

Of course, the most obvious sign of growth was that the area of spiritual herbs the Medicine Spirit Ghost could control was gradually expanding. After a month of growth, the area it could control had increased by another two fen! This meant that in roughly ten months, the Medicine Spirit Ghost would be able to completely cover the entire Small Medicine Field!

"The wondrous uses of the Medicine Spirit Ghost truly inspire admiration! Its prospects for growth are even more eagerly anticipated! This month's harvest is simply countless times greater than that of an ordinary outer sect disciple! Even compared to ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, it is likely far superior..."

Hu Donghan sighed inwardly, secretly marveling at the Medicine Spirit Ghost's inexhaustible uses.

The one-month deadline had arrived, and the cultivator responsible for receiving the spiritual herbs had also come to Little Jade Flat.

Niu Ergen first had one of the menial disciples under him lead the way, then hurried ahead to notify Hu Donghan.

After hearing Niu Ergen out, Hu Donghan immediately gave an order in his mind, telling the Medicine Spirit Ghost to first withdraw its medicinal fragrance and yin energy.

Soon, another menial disciple hurried over with a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator in tow—this Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator looked utterly ordinary, dressed very casually, and had a face full of stubble with even a faint layer of dust on it. Clearly, he was a cultivator who did not care much about cleanliness.

Niu Ergen went up to meet them, completed the handover with that menial disciple, led the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to Hu Donghan's residence, and then left directly.
