A Bountiful Haul, Damn It All!
Just as everyone excitedly rushed into the herb garden...
What met my eyes was a scene of utter chaos!
Although there are still many Spirit Plant, they are all only at the First-Tier level. There are some Second-Tier Spirit Plant, but they are mostly useless...
They may possess Second-Tier capabilities, but their effectiveness is either extremely rare or their application conditions are extremely demanding, sometimes even making them counterproductive.
There wasn't even a single Third-Tier Spirit Plant!
All that remained were large pits. Someone touched the soil, and it was still damp, clearly indicating that it had been dug out not long ago...
You can even sense a subtle Spiritual Qi emanating from the soil.
"Dry!"
"Someone beat us to it! Who is it? Who could it be?!"
"***********"
Someone offered greetings on the spot, using a variety of words including father, mother, and ancestors, fully demonstrating the person's vocabulary...
And it was at this moment--
Another exclamation rang out, immediately drawing everyone's attention...
When everyone looked over, they saw that the spiritual land with the highest concentration of Spiritual Qi energy had been dug down more than three feet!
A real-life version of digging three feet into the ground has unfolded!
Judging from the remaining soil and debris, this place originally...
It's probably high-grade spiritual soil, and it's also the most Spiritual Qi rich part of the entire herb garden, the essence cultivated over thousands of years!
If one could obtain several hundred kilograms, one could spread it into one's own sacred field...
This will Spirit Ascension field!
This is the foundation; a good spiritual field requires more than just Spiritual Qi; it also needs a long period of time to nurture it...
The length of time spent on something is its foundation!
The so-called foundation is not only reflected in the inheritance of a faction's Dharma Sect, but also in Spirit Plant and spiritual fields.
Spirit Plant also need time to mature; the higher the grade, the longer it takes for them to mature!
First-Tier Spirit Plant are mostly ordinary things, accumulating their effects over time, while Second-Tier Spirit Plant are either rare and exotic seedlings...
Or perhaps it's an ancient medicine over a hundred years old, shedding its ordinary medicinal essence and transforming into spirit medicine!
The differences between Second-Tier Spirit Plant are vast; once you reach the Second-Tier, you can no longer rely solely on the age of the medicinal plant to continue improving...
Just as humans have a lifespan, so do plants!
Second-Tier Spirit Plant are almost impossible to develop sentience; only the rarest of them, one in ten thousand, can develop intelligence...
Like the original form of the Heding Old Child, the Illusory Form Demon Tree, and the original owner of Qin Lu Xin, they were most likely also beings who achieved Second-Tier spirituality...
Having reached the Third-Tier spiritual intelligence, it can transform into Wood Demon in order to condense the Heart of a Wood Demon!
These special Spirit Plant, possessing a certain level of intelligence, can control their own growth patterns, thereby preventing them from withering and decaying...
There are Second-Tier Spirit Plant, such as the main ingredient of the Qi Condensation Pill and the Nine-Layer Spirit Pagoda.
It blooms once every ten years, and a single flower can serve as the main ingredient for refining Qi Condensation Pill. It blooms nine times, and after one hundred years...
That is the limit of the Nine-Layer Spirit Pagoda Flower; if it is not picked...
Just like any ordinary flower, it condenses its seeds, then withers and dies—this is the cycle of life and death for Spirit Plant...
The Second-Tier Spirit Plant was promoted to the Third-Tier.
Either it was originally Third-Tier Spirit Plant, born of this species, and would naturally grow to this level, or it gave birth to a gifted plant prodigy...
By controlling itself, it can avoid decay and accumulate strength, eventually breaking through the barrier of the Third-Tier and becoming a brand new Third-Tier Spirit Plant!
And its seeds--
Just like the rich second-generation among Human Race, who are born at the Third-Tier and will eventually grow into Third-Tier Spirit Plant, the general pattern is like this...
The principle behind the creation of Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier Spirit Plant Spirit Plant the same.
However, at the Sixth-Tier and Seventh-Tier, and even more powerful beings, Spirit Plant almost disappeared, because at this level...
Even the less intelligent Spirit Plant had long since transformed into a Wood Demon!
There would be no more high-grade Spirit Plant for cultivators to harvest, and as these Wood Demon gathered, they gradually gave rise to the Wood Demon race...
certainly--
That's all in the future.
Qin Lu has now infiltrated the depths of the Flower Willow Courtyard alone...
Based on the situation along the way, it can be roughly judged that the Flower Willow Courtyard has been completely overrun, and there is not a single Qi Condensation cultivator from the Flower Willow Courtyard to be seen!
Even the soldiers began a large-scale search and looting spree in the mountains...
Countless Flower Willow Courtyard fled or gathered together, forming resistance forces of varying sizes, but they were facing enemies ten or even a hundred times their number...
This level of resistance is utterly pathetic!
Their only fate is death, especially if they are female cultivators...
Perhaps it will be even more tragic. If you're lucky, you might be captured and used as a furnace, at least you'll survive. If you're unlucky, you might be killed on the spot.
In the end, she was humiliated and died!
I didn't look at it any longer--
Qin Lu didn't care about any of that. No matter how gruesome the death, it was none of his business. In fact, he wanted to sit down and watch the show unfold...
To be honest, maybe he's somewhere right now.
His Qin Clan's army is currently hunting down female cultivators from the Flower Willow Courtyard!
After all, it's time for the Warm Fragrance Pavilion to get a new batch of goods. Then, let Qiaomei be the Qiao Mei, Jade Maiden Sect Master take charge of the pavilion...
This will form a complete system!
They shifted from export production to domestic sales, and even provided professional training internally...
That sounds so exciting!
In the future, any member of the Qin Clan who wishes to Refining Human Pills elixirs or cultivate the [Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method] can come to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion to select a living elixir!
See how convenient and user-friendly it is!
"The Hall of Ten Thousand Dharmas..."
"This should be it!"
Qin Lu arrived before a grand hall. Looking at the magnificent, golden palace before him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. This was a sight to behold...
Qin Lu immediately realized that the entire hall was a Second-Tier spirit building!
Its power far surpassed that of the Qin Palace.
Needless to say, Qin Lu wished he could just dismantle it, pack up the materials, and take them away to upgrade and renovate his own Qin Palace!
"Tsk..."
"The Flower Willow Courtyard are already on the verge of collapse, and they still have to cause me trouble..."
Qin Lu's face darkened.
The reason is that the five layers of formation in front of them are all interconnected, each layer containing a hidden danger...
Replacing the core of the array plate would take a lot of time, and right now, time is exactly what Qin Lu needs most.
Without time to think, Qin Lu immediately summoned the remaining two poisonous corpses...
The Blood Corpse Centipede has been retrieved.
He then manually controlled the corpse puppet, ignited everything, and caused it to self-destruct towards the great formation!
Two thunderous booms resounded, followed by the Qing Centipede's fierce attack on the formation. The Tai'e Sword slashed down relentlessly, its massive Sword-Ray falling like a sea of stars...
In the blink of an eye.
The grand formation shattered three layers in succession. Fortunately, no one was controlling the formation, so breaking it in its partially activated state wasn't too difficult...
After another cup of tea's time, the remaining two great formations were finally broken!
Before entering the main hall--
Qin Lu had also specially set up a warning array outside the palace, which would immediately transmit a message whenever someone approached...
With that assurance in hand, Qin Lu finally felt at ease!
