Creating Another Spirit Technique
Only when Long Xuan's own Storage Bag was full, and the Storage Bag he bought from Di Xin was also full, did he reluctantly leave Di Xin's Medicine Garden.
He really had the urge to uproot the entire Medicine Garden, but unfortunately, that was impossible.
First of all, his Medicine Garden was too small to hold so many spirit medicine, so he had to buy a large plot of farmland from his neighbor to accommodate them.
At the same time, Long Xuan traded away all the Spirit Insect he had, as well as a large number of spirit pills, including a considerable number of Spirit-Gathering Pill.
There was nothing he could do; he had taken half of the person's grade-four spirit medicine.
Only after all his clones were laden with Storage Bag did he smile, wave goodbye, and return home laden with his spoils.
However, Di Xin was not in a good mood at this moment. Looking at the Medicine Garden that she had painstakingly cultivated for many years, she felt extremely bad.
Now her paradise on earth is bald in patches, like it's been chewed up by dogs, and it's almost been ruined by Long Xuan.
What was once a beautiful paradise is now extremely unsightly, as if it has been ransacked and become utterly ugly.
This was the cozy little home she had painstakingly built over countless years, but now it was anything but cozy. At this moment, she even had the urge to kill...
After returning to his Medicine Garden, Long Xuan immediately began directing his clones to work, transplanting all the spirit medicine he had acquired into the farmland.
At the same time, an area was designated and covered with Spirit Soil, specifically for planting spirit medicine three and grade four spirit medicine.
As usual, each of the clones worked enthusiastically, sweating profusely, while Long Xuan sat aside as a supervisor.
Considering that the central area of the formation was too cold and unsuitable for the growth of most spirit medicine, he had no choice but to use the formation to isolate the central area.
However, this would leave a large empty area in the center, so Long Xuan could only send his clones to buy up the surrounding farmland to make up for the missing area.
At the same time, the formation also needs to be expanded, which will require his main body to waste more time.
After finishing all this, he left his clone there to continue working, while he returned to his residence, sat down at the table, picked up paper and pen, and began to create his own recipe for Spirit Soil.
Spirit Soil is a great thing that can accelerate the growth of spirit medicine and can overcome the problem of most high-level spirit medicine herbs not adapting to the local soil, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
He absolutely did not intend to use the Low-Grade Spirit Soil; he only planned to borrow the soil refining process from the recipe and apply the template, replacing all the materials.
He first wrote the four characters "Spirit Soil formula" on a piece of paper, telling the golden finger what he wanted to create, before he began to think about what materials would be suitable.
He suddenly remembered that bone meal could accelerate the growth of plants when playing games in his previous life, so without thinking, he wrote the words "bone meal" on the first line.
With good luck, Long Xuan succeeded on the very first batch of materials, and a progress of [0.1%] appeared out of thin air on the paper.
He smiled slightly...
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. During these two months, Long Xuan did nothing but work on the Spirit Soil Spirit Soil recipe and did nothing else. The two months were peaceful and uneventful.
However, a small incident occurred with Wood Clone. Wood Clone was responsible for taking care of Old Long's Medicine Garden. Since Long Xuan had not yet developed the spiritual technique to hide his realm, he directly drained most of Wood Clone's spiritual power, keeping him at a very low realm, so that Old Long would not be able to see any flaws.
As expected, Long Lie came looking for him again in the past two months. He didn't know what it was about, but Long Xuan didn't want to know. Even though the man acted very kindly, he suspected that he was just shamelessly asking for wine, so it was best not to see him.
The method to get rid of him was quite simple: he ran to Old Long and told him that a man named Long Lie had come to collect a debt. As expected, Old Long's expression changed drastically, and he immediately activated the formation to blast him out, without listening to a single word of his explanation.
After several attempts to harass him, Long Lie cursed at Old Long and finally stopped coming.
His life returned to normal.
That day, Long Xuan held a piece of paper, his face showing both excitement and a hint of dissatisfaction.
He undoubtedly succeeded in creating the Spirit Soil formula. With that kind of cheat code, there was no possibility of him failing; it was simply a matter of how long it would take.
The preparation of Spirit Soil does not require thousands of materials like the refining of Gu, but only less than a hundred. The majority of the text focuses on the process of preparing Spirit Soil.
Therefore, his self-created Spirit Soil formula was surprisingly fast, and he succeeded in just about two months, but he was still not satisfied.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was that the Spirit Soil recipe was only High-Grade Spirit Soil, not Supreme Spirit Soil.
It seems that High-Grade Spirit Soil has reached its limit in his hands.
It's not that he can't figure it out by guessing; it's entirely due to the limitations of the materials. He has no chance of creating Supreme Spirit Soil.
Many of the materials were either impossible for him to obtain at this stage, or simply not available in this region, leaving him with no recourse.
This High-Grade Spirit Soil recipe was already his limit. Long Xuan sighed inwardly and could only suppress his dissatisfaction and make do with it.
The Spirit Soil he created was perhaps because he used a large amount of bone powder, so it was snow-white in color. When it was spread on the ground, it was as pure and flawless as snow in winter, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. So he simply named the Spirit Soil he created Pure Soil.
The Pure Soil is suitable for transplanting more varieties of high-level spirit medicine than the red soil, and it can also increase the growth rate of spirit medicine by three times.
Long Xuan was not satisfied with the Spirit Soil he had created, little did he know how envious others would be if they knew he possessed High-Grade Spirit Soil.
You should know that there isn't even Mid-Grade Spirit Soil in the entire Far Western Lands, yet he's still not satisfied with researching High-Grade Spirit Soil.
After carefully storing the Pure Soil formula, Long Xuan immediately headed towards his Medicine Garden.
Now that the Pure Soil formula has been created, it needs to be prepared as quickly as possible, and such a glorious task as preparing the Pure Soil naturally has to be entrusted to his five avatars.
Upon arriving at the Medicine Garden Medicine Garden, Long Xuan was astonished by the sight before him. After two months of tireless efforts by his clone, his Medicine Garden had finally taken shape and was completely transformed, possessing the potential to become a paradise on earth.
His Medicine Garden Medicine Garden garden was laid out the same way as Di Xin's, divided into garden area, orchard area, tea area...
The only difference is that his Medicine Garden is much smaller than Di Xin's Medicine Garden; it's like a smaller version of Di Xin's Medicine Garden.
But the Medicine Garden is equally beautiful, mainly because of the abundance of flowers. Flowers of all colors compete for beauty, and various rare and famous flowers vie for attention, creating a breathtaking sight.
The entire Medicine Garden is filled with the fragrance of flowers; just taking a deep breath is refreshing and can relieve the fatigue of the day.
Of course, protected by the array, this paradise-like scene is invisible to others; only he, the owner of the Formation Key, can see it.
Upon entering this place, Long Xuan fell completely in love with it.
Compared to that, what kind of Medicine Garden Medicine Garden is Old Long's? It's simply incomparable to his.
His Medicine Garden was full of weeds, while the spirit medicine he Medicine Garden were at least grade two. Without comparison, there is no harm; even a dog wouldn't stay in that Medicine Garden.
After mentally complaining for a moment, Long Xuan suddenly thought of something and manipulated the Formation Key to secretly open a small crack in the barrier near the direction of Old Long's Medicine Garden.
The senses of spirit beasts Spirit Insect are indeed far superior to those of humans. Even though they were so far away, the swarm of Spirit Bee could still smell the fragrance of the flowers here.
It should be noted that the spiritual flowers in this Medicine Garden are at least grade two, Long Xuan even specially transplanted several cherry blossom trees, all of which are grade four. There are also countless fruit trees in full bloom.
It's easy to imagine how attractive the fragrance of high-grade spirit medicine is to Spirit Bee.
So, from a great distance, Long Xuan heard a buzzing sound. The swarm of Spirit Bee, which had grown to several thousand, flew frantically towards him, their noses seemingly guided by a navigation system, their eyes shining with excitement, as if they had found a treasure.
Soon, the swarm of bees rushed into the gap in the barrier and then swarmed towards the fourth-grade spiritual flower inside.
Especially those few fourth-grade cherry blossom trees, which are their main targets, each one burrowing into the flower buds and never coming out again.
The place is filled with third and fourth-grade spiritual flowers, which have a fatal attraction for them. This place is simply paradise for them. Once they enter, they never want to leave.
Compared to Old Long's Medicine Garden, this place was their paradise. Old Long's Medicine Garden was too barren, full of first-grade wildflowers and weeds, and even dogs wouldn't go there. So Old Long's Medicine Garden was disliked again.
Once the Spirit Bee entered this place, they refused to leave, showing no intention of returning to their hive. They even started building their nests on the cherry blossom branches, clearly intending to stay here for a long time.
It turned out that not a single Spirit Bee returned to that hive; it had been completely abandoned and left unattended.
Seeing the hardworking little bees busily working in the Medicine Garden, Long Xuan was in a good mood and a slight smile appeared on his face.
I always felt something was missing in the Medicine Garden, and now I finally know: it lacked vitality, it lacked the scent of animals.
Without living creatures, even the most beautiful Medicine Garden is lifeless. Now, with the arrival of the Spirit Bee, the Medicine Garden has finally gained some vitality.
Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly ran towards the center of the Medicine Garden Medicine Garden, where the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus was naturally planted.
The Ice Mountain Snow Lotus planted next to the Divine Ice Flame seems to be growing even faster. Its lifespan progress is now 50%, and it has already advanced to a ten-thousand-year spirit medicine after using only half of its lifespan. Judging from this, it can be determined that its lifespan is twenty thousand years.
That's right, at this moment, the Millennium Iceberg Snow Lotus has successfully evolved into a ten- Ten-thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, becoming the only ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicine in this Medicine Garden.
There was also a small patch of cold-loving spirit medicine planted around it, which Long Xuan had specially bought to keep it company, fearing it would be lonely.
He felt it was a waste not to plant something on such a large open space, so he specially bought a lot of ice-type spirit medicine that could only be grown in frigid environments.
If we were to name the most valuable spirit medicine in the entire Medicine Garden, it would undoubtedly be this Ten-thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus.
Among all the fourth-grade spirit medicine, the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus is the most famous and valuable. Moreover, it has been upgraded to ten thousand years old, making it the oldest in the entire Medicine Garden. It is undoubtedly the treasure of the garden.
Ice Mountain Snow Lotus is a favorite flower and spirit medicine of Spirit Bee. Spirit Bee are naturally discerning and know that it is of the highest quality and oldest age, with the best nectar source. Honey made from the nectar of Ten-thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus is sure to be the most fragrant.
But while they anxiously flew around the Ten-thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, not a single Spirit Bee dared to fly inside.
This Ten-thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus is so cold that ordinary Spirit Bee simply cannot withstand the chill it releases.
Anyone who tries to fly to the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus to collect nectar will surely freeze to death, so no Spirit Bee dares to risk freezing to death by flying there.
But people die for wealth, and birds die for food; there will always be those who are so greedy they'd risk their lives.
At this moment, there was indeed a little one who was fearless, willing to risk its life for a little food.
It flew over from a great distance without slowing down, and then plunged headfirst into the bud of the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus.
Long Xuan's eyelids trembled as he watched.
Good heavens, this little guy is really brave, a real tough nut to crack! I think it has the makings of a queen bee!
Long Xuan developed a great interest in this Spirit Bee, and wondered if this daring Spirit Bee could evolve into a queen bee after eating honey made from the honey of Ten-thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus. He couldn't help but look forward to it.
However, his hopes were quickly dashed. Once inside, the gluttonous creature went on a frenzied honey-gathering spree, shivering from the cold but not stopping, completely oblivious to the need to know when to stop.
After it had collected all the nectar from the Ten-thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, it tried to take flight again, only to find that its wings were covered with layers of ice, making it impossible to fly.
It could only frantically flap its little wings, powerless to do anything but watch helplessly as its life force slowly ebbed away.
Long Xuan shook his head. This little blockhead didn't seem capable of handling the heavy responsibility of being the queen bee. Could he even hold onto the position?
Helpless, he reached out and took the frozen Spirit Bee from the heart of the Ten-thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, then placed it on the ground, hoping to at least save its life.
The Spirit Bee, half-dead from the cold, lay on the ground for an unknown amount of time before recovering. Forgetting the danger it had just faced, it excitedly flew towards the still-unfinished hive, trembling slightly.
Looking at the Spirit Bee on which he had placed such high hopes, Long Xuan suddenly thought of something again.
"That's right!"
He rushed out of the Medicine Garden and ran towards Old Long's Medicine Garden.
Soon after, he returned carrying a beehive that was half his height, looking excited and beaming from ear to ear.
The large beehive was heavy, filled with honey, almost overflowing.
Now that the Spirit Bee has a better option and doesn't want the hive anymore, doesn't that mean all the honey inside will belong to them?
After waiting for so long, he can finally enjoy some delicious Spirit Bee!
So when he got back, he happily drank his honey water while continuing to supervise the work, adding some ice cubes as well.
The recipe for High-Grade Spirit Soil has been created. Now, we need to send someone to buy materials from all over the place, then mix them into Pure Soil and spread it widely in the Medicine Garden.
This is a huge project, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it's unknown how long it will take to complete.
Long Xuan wasn't idle either. He took out a table and chairs from his Storage Bag, as well as paper and pen, intending to use the time while his clone was preparing the Spirit Soil to design a second matching spiritual technique for the "Ten Absolutes Scripture".
He had actually planned the second type of complementary spiritual technique long ago.
His attack methods are insufficient, to say the least, and he lacks area-of-effect attacks, so he wants to develop an area-of-effect spiritual technique.
Among the five elements, fire has the strongest destructive power, so he plans to design an ability that can unleash fire attacks. Although this attack method is simple, it is definitely the most practical.
Smelling the fragrance of flowers and drinking honey water, his thoughts flowed freely, and inspiration surged forth, with many wonderful ideas flooding his mind in a short period of time.
The technique of releasing flames is an extremely common technique, something that anyone could come up with. There are many similar techniques, and Long Xuan fully understands the principles behind them.
But what he wanted wasn't the kind of spiritual magic that many people possessed; he wanted to stand out, to be different, to stand out among all fire-based abilities, which required him to use his brain quite carefully.
He didn't think for long. Since it was a matching spiritual technique, he definitely had to make full use of all five attributes.
If he wants to develop a fire-based ability, then he must primarily use the fire attribute, with the other four attributes as secondary.
Furthermore, fire can only be enhanced with the assistance of the four attributes.
It's not difficult to utilize the other attributes to achieve this effect. It's the same old approach: the Mutual Generation Cycle, one of the three major cycles of the Five Elements.
However, since the focus is on the fire element, the cycle of the five elements should be:
Earth → Metal → Water → Wood → Fire
A single fire may not be strong, but what if it's fueled by wood?
Then, how can wood use water as nourishment?
Starting with earth as the initial element, then layering it with nutrients, until finally ending with fire, how powerful will this final fire be?
How powerful would a fire-based spiritual spell unleashed from this fire be?
Long Xuan dared not imagine it, nor could he possibly estimate it.
But it must be absolutely terrifying, definitely standing out among all fire-based abilities.
