Mutation, and It Can Be Equipped Too?
"This is... a mutation?" Li Yunjing was pleasantly surprised.
The herb garden is currently at level 4, with only a 10% chance of developing a benign mutation.
This probability is quite low.
I didn't expect the mutation to happen so quickly.
Li Yunjing squatted down and carefully observed the mutated White Jade Flower.
White Jade Flower is the main ingredient in refining White Jade Pill elixir.
White Jade Pill is a relatively common type of elixir.
After taking it, it has the effects of warming and nourishing the body, strengthening the tendons and veins, and nourishing the Essence Blood.
Long-term use can make a cultivator's body as pure as white jade, and increase the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
It's unclear whether this mutated White Jade Flower has become more potent medicinally or has acquired other functions.
We'll only be able to tell after the White Jade Flower continues to grow for a while.
"Little Ye, you must take good care of this White Jade Flower." Li Yunjing looked at Nangong Ye beside him.
Nangong Ye's small face was incredibly resolute, and she nodded in agreement with great seriousness.
Standing up, Nangong Ye said, "Brother Jing, there are a few other spirit medicine that also give me a strange feeling."
Li Yunjing raised his eyebrows and asked Nangong Ye to point it out to him.
After observing, Li Yunjing couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
The spirit medicine that Nangong Ye pointed out were all undergoing mutation.
After a period of time, it will completely mutate.
Li Yunjing also instructed Nangong Ye to take good care of these spirit medicine.
At the same time, if any spirit medicine mutate in the future...
Write it down first, and report back to yourself every seven days.
Nangong Ye wrote down Li Yunjing's instructions.
Li Yunjing then took out the materials to upgrade the herb garden.
Three-sided Spirit Condensation Soil
This Spirit Condensation Soil is a rare commodity.
It contains a great deal of spiritual energy.
The spirit medicine herbs grow in this kind of land.
Even without human care, they can grow quite well on their own.
The herb garden now contains as many as sixteen types of second-grade spirit medicine herbs.
Therefore, the upgrade conditions are met.
Li Yunjing silently chanted "upgrade".
A flash of Golden Light appeared, and the scene in the herb garden changed.
The area of the medicinal herb garden has been greatly expanded.
The medicinal herb garden has now expanded to nearly five acres.
The land within the herb garden had all been transformed into Spirit Condensation Soil.
Abundant Spiritual Qi even seemed to rise from the earth.
It hovers above the medicinal garden, condensing without dispersing, and changing in countless ways.
"Tsk tsk." Li Yunjing clicked his tongue twice.
Open the information panel.
[Medicine Garden (lv5)]

[Upgrade Requirements: Successfully cultivate 5 top-tier Grade 2 spirit medicine and set up a Grade 1 Moonlight Condensing Dew Array.]
Li Yunjing nodded slightly as he looked at the information panel.
Suddenly, a notification popped up on its own.
[Essence of spirit medicine Detected. Equip Elixir of spirit medicine?]
"Hmm?" Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened.
What does this message box mean?
The essence of the spirit medicine...
Li Yunjing pondered carefully, then looked at Nangong Ye.
In the entire medicinal herb garden, besides myself, there was only Nangong Ye.
And Nangong Ye is spirit medicine that has become a spirit; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is the essence of spirit medicine.
Furthermore, Li Yunjing did not discover any other unusual features within the herb garden.
Therefore, Nangong Ye is the most likely suspect.
"Equipment... what kind of operation is this?" Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
After careful consideration, Li Yunjing thought to himself, "Equipment."
The next moment, Li Yunjing saw a new transparent panel pop up.
The panel displayed a frontal photo of Nangong Ye along with related information.
[Already equipped.]
Notification: Li Yunjing's equipment is complete.
Li Yunjing first looked at Nangong Ye's basic information.
"Nine thousand years... Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng..." Li Yunjing's eyes gradually widened.
Nangong Ye was actually a 9,000-year-old Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng become a spirit.
Nine thousand years, only a thousand years away from ten thousand years.
This level of spirit medicine,
Even cultivators at the Mahayana level would find it difficult to obtain.
This is because such a rare and precious spirit medicine is favored by heaven and earth.
Once someone harbors greed, it will be sensed.
This caused the spirit medicine to disappear prematurely.
And the spirit medicine that has become a spirit,
Furthermore, they possess strength comparable to that of Mahayana cultivator.
This makes it even harder to capture.
Li Yunjing looked at Nangong Ye in the distance, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Why does Nangong Ye appear to have a low cultivation level at this moment?
Li Yunjing pondered for a moment and felt that it might be due to the influence of Supreme Cloud Geng Metal Qi.
"This secret must remain buried in my heart," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
Fortunately, Nangong Ye was able to sense malice in advance.
This ability is not affected by the Supreme Cloud Geng Metal Qi.
She would sense if anyone had designs on Nangong Ye.
If you tell Li Yunjing, Li Yunjing will be able to act accordingly.
This put Li Yunjing at ease.
At least the kind of thing that happened, like Nangong Ye being suddenly kidnapped, won't happen.
Close Nangong Ye's information panel.
After Li Yunjing discovered that he had acquired the essence of the spirit medicine...
The medicinal properties of the herb garden have unexpectedly changed.
[Current effect: Reduces the maturation time of spirit medicine by 95%, and increases the chance of ordinary spirit medicine reaching premium quality by 75%.]
The buff is triggered once a day, increasing the medicinal age of the fully matured spirit medicine by seven years.
Produces 3 drops of Moonlight Spirit Dew every five days.
+50% chance of causing a benign mutation in the spirit medicine.
Upon harvesting, there is a 100% chance that the spirit medicine will transform into a spirit seed (which can be reused).
[New effect: Herb Garden can spawn Medicine Spirit]
[Medicine Spirit: A spirit that emerges from places abundant with spirit medicine and can sustainably improve the environment.]
"Hiss!"
Upon seeing the new miraculous effect, Li Yunjing immediately gasped.
Every effect has been improved dramatically.
It also adds a new magical effect.
Although it is still unknown how strong the so-called environmental-altering effect of the Medicine Spirit is.
However, since it's a system-generated item, its effectiveness is unlikely to be weak.
"Goodness, equipping just one essence of spirit medicine has this effect. If I had another one, wouldn't that be heaven-defying?" Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
But Li Yunjing was overthinking it.
To have obtained Nangong Ye is already a stroke of good fortune.
Li Yunjing also realized that since the herb garden could be equipped with the essence of spirit medicine.
What about other buildings? Can they be equipped with anything too?
However, the system did not provide any prompts.
Li Yunjing could only figure it out on his own.
After leaving the herb garden, Li Yunjing went to the Disciple Quarters.
Today, the Disciple Quarters have been connected into one large area.
In order to cope with the subsequent increase in the number of disciples.
Li Yunjing had long ago instructed Zhang Hongzhi and others to build numerous Disciple Quarters.
Moreover, each Disciple Quarters can accommodate three people.
Separate men and women.
Taking out a second-grade Cloud-Pattern Brocade, Li Yunjing silently chanted "upgrade."
