Hundred Herbs
The courtyard wasn't large, with one main house and one wing room each on the east and west sides. The courtyard was quite flat, so there was no problem in creating a vegetable garden there.
After checking, Fang Yu took out the disciple token and explored the relevant sect missions within it.
"Take care of Dingmuhao's medicinal herb garden for a year, contributing 12 points."
"Processing Rehmannia glutinosa yields 1 contribution point per thousand doses."
Processing dried tangerine peel...
The tasks he could see were generally divided into two types: one was tending the herb garden and tending to the flowers and plants, and the other was processing various herbs, neither of which contributed many points.
However, there is a hint: after accumulating a certain amount of contribution, you can upgrade your disciple's rank and accept tasks that require more contribution points.
'I didn't expect even immortal sects to have rating systems!'
Fang Yu muttered a complaint, then checked the list of exchangeable resources. The first item was: 1 contribution point can be exchanged for 1 high-grade Spirit Stone.
One hundred low-grade Spirit Stone are equal to one mid-grade Spirit Stone, and one hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone are equal to one high-grade spirit Spirit Stone. Based on this conversion ratio, this contribution is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stone.
If this is true, then back in the day when he was in the Western Extremity, earning 10,000 low-grade Spirit Stone a year was something he never even dared to dream of.
However, sensing the surrounding third-tier Spirit Vein, Fang Yu felt that this was quite normal.
With such a high level of Spirit Vein, disciples below the Core Formation stage don't need Spirit Stone to aid their cultivation at all; these high-grade Spirit Stone are mainly used to quickly restore their Law Power.
Besides exchanging for high-grade Spirit Stone, there are also options to exchange for various pills, Law Artifact, Spirit Artifact, and even Foundation Establishment Pill. However, the required contribution points are extremely large, and there are other hard conditions. For example, if you want to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pill, you must first become an outer disciple, and the threshold for becoming an outer disciple is the Qi Refining Late Stage.
To exchange for Foundation Establishment Pill, one must reach the Qi Refining Great Perfection and also be among the top 100 in the outer Foundation Establishment Pill competition held every ten years.
Indeed, no matter where you are, it is not an easy thing to Foundation Establishment. However, compared to Rogue Cultivator, within the immortal sect, as long as you work hard to accumulate contribution points and improve your cultivation, you will have the opportunity to Foundation Establishment. Moreover, the channels for advancement seem to be quite plentiful.
"Let's take on these long-term herb processing jobs first!"
Fang Yu immediately accepted the entire long-term task involving the processing of approximately ten thousand kinds of herbs. Since there were no time requirements for these tasks, only quantity requirements, he decided to take them all at once.
"Buzzing..."
The disciple token continued to vibrate for a full quarter of an hour before stopping. After confirming everything, Fang Yu saw a very long list of unfinished tasks when he sensed the disciple token.
"Start building your persona now!"
Fang Yu murmured to himself, left the small courtyard, and climbed towards the Hundred Herbs Hall on the mountaintop. Along the way, he frequently saw senior brothers and sisters flying on their escape lights or Law Artifact. By the time he reached the Hundred Herbs Hall, it was already getting dark, and lanterns lit up one by one, illuminating the outlines of the buildings on the mountaintop.
Fang Yu quickly found the book pavilion inside the Hundred Herbs Hall. Upon entering, he saw all sorts of herbal specimens, samples, introductions, and various herbal books on the shelves.
Fang Yu went to the bookshelf, picked up a copy of "The Collection of Hundred Herbs", and opened it to see detailed descriptions of various herbs. The book also included information on the corresponding herb cultivation areas and the location numbers of the samples.
Fang Yu flipped through the book, examining the samples, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Although he was already capable of refining third-tier pills, he only knew a few Pill Formula, and his knowledge of spirit medicine was limited to those included in the Pill Formula. He didn't know much about ordinary herbs or even low-tier spirit medicine. He was completely untrained, essentially a barefoot practitioner with only unorthodox methods.
This place appears to have a complete and systematic lineage of Dao of Alchemy, which would be very helpful in improving his Dao of Alchemy skills; it's essentially an academic institution.
Before long, dawn broke. Fang Yu had spent the night studying herbs, felt he had gained a lot. He had now memorized tens of thousands of herbs and was ready to start processing them and putting them into practice.
However, before that, one should first cultivate one's Cultivation Method and improve one's cultivation level. At the very least, one should have the Qi Refining First Layer of Qi Refining. Only then can one ride the flying boat to various medicinal garden areas to collect herbs. Otherwise, relying solely on one's own two legs would be too time-consuming and would also seem somewhat foolish.
After descending the mountain, Fang Yu returned to the courtyard and sat down at the stone table. He took out the book "The Great Daoyan Five Elements Chaos True Explanation" and began to study it carefully.
He then closed his eyes and, following the instructions in the Cultivation Method, sensed the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.
The next second, he sensed Spiritual Qi, but he did not immediately absorb it. Instead, he continued to sit there until it got dark again, at which point he began to slowly absorb the Spiritual Qi.
The Spiritual Qi entered his body, flowing through his Golden Core level meridians, and then transformed into surging Fire Element Law Power, pouring into his Dantian.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Yu transformed the Spiritual Qi within his body into earth-based Law Power and stored it in his Dantian.
Then come metal-based Law Power, water-based Law Power, and Wood Element Law Power.
The five elements of magic Law Power are drawn together by his most prominent Fire Element Spirit Root, forming a mutually generating Law Power cluster, which is called Chaos Law Power.
This Great Daoyan Five Elements Chaos True Explanation is indeed quite substantial; the Chaos Law Power it generates can indeed achieve a certain balance.
However, the Law Power they can use is only one-fifth of that of other cultivators who only practice one type of Law Power. This means that the power of a single Law Technique cannot compare to that of other cultivators.
However, it can simultaneously cast Law Technique of other attributes, which is very helpful for alchemy, weapon crafting, and so on. It can also use Law Power of other attributes at the same time. If they are combined properly, its flexibility far surpasses that of other single- Law Power cultivators.
Time passed day by day. Fang Yu practiced his Cultivation Method for four hours every day, and spent the rest of his time going to the Hundred Herbs Hall to identify herbs and learn about their medicinal properties. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
On this day, he took a deep breath, sensing his own Fourth Layer of Qi Refining of Qi Refining, and frowned.
'Although I'm starting over, my meridians, body, and Dantian are all at the Golden Core level. Even with Mid-Grade Spirit Root, my cultivation speed is faster than that of Heaven Spirit Root, which is somewhat inconsistent with my established persona.'
'Luckily, I have the Yuanchen Pearl, which can perfectly conceal my cultivation level!'
As he pondered, the Yuanchen Pearl spun rapidly, and his cultivation level steadily declined, eventually reaching the level of just entering the Qi Refining First Layer.
The next moment, he waved his hand, and the flying boat issued by the immortal sect appeared. He stepped onto it, and it flew shakily out of the courtyard, heading towards the medicinal garden where dried tangerine peel and other herbs were planted.
