Behind the Evergreen Sect's back peak, the place now bore a heaven-turning and earth-overturning change compared to before the sect's appearance to the world.
Originally, the back peak of the Evergreen Sect had barren land and overgrown weeds.
Yet now, as a throng of high-grade spiritual soil strongholds occupied within the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm descended, this place had transformed into a thousand mu of spiritual fields.
The various grades of spiritual herb and spiritual plant seeds that Lin Feng had redeemed through contribution points from the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm had all been planted down.
There were also numerous crop-class spiritual seeds obtained through competitions, which had likewise been planted and meticulously tended by the Evergreen Sect's multitude of outer disciples and errand disciples.
Every day, this spiritual field location became the liveliest place in the Evergreen Sect, and the sect consequently gave birth to over a dozen disciples who possessed thorough experience in spiritual herb planting and cultivation.
Relatively speaking, once the spiritual herb seeds were planted and began to grow, there was no longer any need to spend excessive time on meticulous care.
With the Evergreen Sect's spiritual Qi concentration and this top-tier spiritual field environment, spiritual herbs grew robustly as soon as they were planted, free of disasters and harms.
Most disciples responsible for guarding the spiritual field only needed to ride Azure Wolves on daily patrols, sometimes guarding against the harm to the spiritual fields inflicted by some mountain spirits and wild monsters spawned under the Evergreen Sect's exceptionally high concentration of spiritual Qi.
Over these years, within the range covered by the Evergreen Sect's territory, quite a few mountain spirits and wild monsters had already been spawned, and even a good number of mountain spirits and wild monsters had already birthed spiritual intelligence, stepped into the Qi Refining Realm, and been taken under the Evergreen Sect's gate.
At the very center of the thousand mu of spiritual fields, twenty strands of Heaven-grade spiritual plants were planted.
These twenty strands of Heaven-grade spiritual plants were the only twenty Heaven-grade seeds that Lin Feng had managed to obtain at random after redeeming hundreds of thousands of contribution points.
Fortunately, these twenty Heaven-grade seeds were all different, and the corresponding twenty strands of Heaven-grade spiritual plants each occupied one mu of spiritual field at the moment.
After a year of growth, these twenty strands of spiritual plants now grew to half a person's height.
Only, what varieties these twenty strands of spiritual plants actually were, even Lin Feng himself was unclear; he only knew that these twenty strands of Heaven-grade spiritual plants all belonged to the Heaven-grade and were exceedingly precious.
Outside these twenty strands of Heaven-grade spiritual plants were the eight hundred strands of Earth-grade spiritual plants, surrounding the twenty strands of Heaven-grade spiritual plants in layers.
Farther outward were the countless Xuan-grade spiritual plants and Huang-grade spiritual plants.
This was the Evergreen Sect's spiritual medicine garden, and its scale already rivaled the foundation of some veteran sects.
Especially those twenty strands of Heaven-grade spiritual plants, which radiated a unique aura every day.
Lin Feng believed that under the spiritual, rich nourishment of the Evergreen Sect which rivaled a grotto-heaven blessed land, those twenty strands of Heaven-grade spiritual plants would not take much long to spawn spiritual intelligence and become even more precious.
Today, Li Jishi arrived at the Evergreen Sect's spiritual medicine garden once again.
Previously, she could only rely on some information provided by her master to identify some Huang-grade spiritual plants and herbs and some Xuan-grade spiritual plants and herbs; toward those Earth-grade and Heaven-grade spiritual plants, she failed to recognize even a single one.
Today, ever since her master said he would elevate her aptitude on the path of alchemy, Li Jishi felt a heaven-shaking and earth-overturning change occur within herself.
On ordinary days, her doubts regarding the growth habits of numerous spiritual herbs and how to use these spiritual herbs as medicine suddenly became clear today, like a direct empowerment of enlightenment.
Li Jishi walked in the spiritual medicine garden with slow steps.
Her slender fingers gently stroked a strand of Huang-grade spiritual herb beside her, which was a spiritual herb she had not recognized before.
Yet the moment her fingers touched this spiritual herb, a piece of information naturally and smoothly appeared in her mind.
Moonspot Grass: crescent-shaped spots are distributed across the leaf surface, capable of absorbing moonlight at night; it is one of the main materials for refining pills that assist cultivators in night meditation and cultivation.
Following that, Li Jishi discovered with shock that a kind of pill formula using this Moonspot Grass as the main material had appeared in her mind once again.
Huang-grade lower-tier pill, Moonlight Soul-Calming Pill: the main herb is three strands of Moonspot Grass, the secondary herbs are two strands of Clear-Veined Leaf and one strand of Condensed Dew Grass. It requires using a pill furnace of Huang-grade or above, refined slowly with a gentle fire, controlling the heat of the moonlight shooting down at night; refining pills at night yields even better effects. Once the pill forms, shallow crescent silver patterns float on the surface of the pill, radiating a gentle and cold moonlight aura. This pill is suitable for Qi Refining Realm cultivators to ingest, capable of calming the mind and settling distracting thoughts and agitation during meditation. Ingesting it during night cultivation provides a certain enhancement to the efficiency of absorbing moonlight, reduces mental exhaustion during cultivation, and can slightly lower the risk of Qi deviation. If ingested in broad daylight, the efficacy of this medicine is halved, and it cannot be ingested in large, continuous quantities; excessive amounts will similarly lead to mental lethargy.
Li Jishi hurriedly took out two jade slips, recording the appearance and functions of this Moonspot Grass within one of them.
As for the other jade slip, she recorded the pill formula of this Moonlight Soul-Calming Pill upon it.
She feared that she would forget this spiritual herb and its corresponding pill formula content a moment later.
After recording them, Li Jishi only then took a solemn, deep breath.
She did not believe this was her special ability.
Throughout this past year, she had also been one of the main persons in charge of this spiritual medicine garden, taking care of these spiritual herbs on a daily basis.
Yet the spiritual herbs she herself could recognize were extremely limited, and regarding the functions of these spiritual herbs, she could only secretly make a guess or two.
Although she desperately wanted to take some spiritual herbs to refine pills, she was plagued by the lack of any pill formula and could only look at such a massive spiritual medicine garden with helplessness.
Yet today, everything had changed.
When she returned to this spiritual medicine garden once again and cast her gaze outward, whether they were Huang-grade spiritual herbs, or those Xuan-grade, Earth-grade, or even Heaven-grade spiritual herbs, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity toward all of them, and the names of these spiritual herbs even faintly hovered on the brink of escaping her lips.
And she had merely touched a spiritual herb casually, yet the relevant information of this spiritual herb, the fact that it could become the main material for a certain pill formula, and the pill formula information all appeared within her mind.
It was as if an encyclopedia of spiritual herbs and pill formulas existed within her mind at this moment.
"Thank you, Master; thank you, the Evergreen Sect."
An unprecedented wave of gratitude and sense of belonging arose within Li Jishi's heart.
Her master was willing to bestow such a special talent upon her and accept her as a personal disciple; this immense grace was something she, Li Jishi, could never repay in this lifetime.
Yet since she already possessed this kind of talent, Li Jishi decided to record all the spiritual herb information here for the sect, and simultaneously record all the acquired corresponding pill formulas, making them available for latecomers of the sect's Pill Hall to consult.
Following that, Li Jishi casually reached out to stroke another strand of Condensed Dew Grass which she had been able to recognize previously.
At this time, the relevant information of the Condensed Dew Grass also appeared in her mind, far more detailed and comprehensive than her past cognition.
Simultaneously, a new pill formula utilizing Condensed Dew Grass as the main material appeared in her mind: the Qi Condensation Pill.
This pill could rapidly replenish spiritual power, assist cultivators in absorbing heaven and earth spiritual Qi, and accelerate the cultivation speed across the various minor realms of Qi Refining.
The main materials were four strands of Condensed Dew Grass, two strands of Essence Wisdom Grass, and one strand of Root-Fortifying Grass, requiring a small amount of lower-tier spiritual stone powder as a medicinal catalyst.
This pill was restricted to Qi Refining cultivators for ingestion, being virtually useless for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and could not be ingested in large quantities at one go; only after all the medicinal efficacy of the Qi Condensation Pill was absorbed could one continue to ingest it.
Moreover, this kind of pill was a kind of pill the sect currently lacked most urgently.
Li Jishi looked at the large patches of Huang-grade quality Condensed Dew Grass, Essence Wisdom Grass, and Root-Fortifying Grass in this spiritual field, a decision already formed within her heart; she was finally able to make a slight contribution to the sect.
