The Possibility of a Yang-Soul Spirit Plant from the Blood Soul Banner Tree, Soul Creek Mystic Scenery

To Li Fan's delight, after hundreds and thousands of attempts at seedling induction and specialization, the Pterocarya stenoptera seedlings were finally cultivated into suitable varieties.

In the mountain hollow, the wind howled and the Blood Qi swirled towards this spot.

A crystal-clear frangipani tree has grown even stronger here, reaching a height of over a hundred meters, and has already borne unripe fruit.

When Li Fan arrived at this place, he used his magical power to probe the banner tree, investigating the imagery and principles within.

"Not bad. It can gather the Yin Death Soul Power contained in the Yellow Springs Stream and condense it into a Soul Power Fruit. It is already a mature and usable Blood Soul Spirit Plant."

"Then it's called the [Blood Soul Yin Banner Tree], a subspecies of the [Blood Birch Soul-Gathering Thousand-Banner Tree]."

"Unfortunately, the fruits produced have mixed and impure soul energy, making them unsuitable for cultivators to consume. They need to be specially cultivated for several more generations, or processed in another way."

With this spiritual plant, Li Fan's next direction for improvement became clearer. He began to analyze the principles of how the Yellow Springs Stream cleanses and purifies the souls of living beings.

We will focus on cultivating the [Blood Soul Yin Banner Tree] saplings in this direction.

In common understanding, blood and soul are deeply connected, and the connection between blood and death should not be underestimated.

There are always intricate connections between Blood Qi, yin spirit, and the Yellow Springs.

Cultivating special blood soul spirit plants is not too difficult for Li Fan First Tier, as the advancement of each spirit plant's rank within the Blood Star Space will give him a large amount of related growth cultivation.

This makes his spiritual plant cultivation skills quite remarkable even at the Dao Foundation, not to mention the [Blood Soul Yin Banner Tree] at the Qi Refining level.

In less than six months, or two and a half years later, a tree produced a pure Yin Soul Fruit.

Yes, the Soul-Soul Fruit.

The spiritual fruit, which is extremely beneficial to ghost cultivators, contains a large amount of death energy and yin energy. However, it is highly poisonous to normal cultivators in the mortal realm, damaging their spirit and soul.

However, this is only one branch of the [Blood Soul Yin Banner Tree]. He is still cultivating varieties that can convert Yin Death Soul Power so that Psionics consume it and gain great benefits.

Another year has passed, and it has been three and a half years since [Stream Ravine Mountain] was established.

A [Blood Soul Banner Tree] that barely met his requirements was cultivated. Unlike the previous [Blood Soul Yin Banner Tree], which had a crystal-clear Yin soul, this tree had a red and white structure formed by Blood Qi crystals.

Under specific cultivation, the entire [Blood Soul Banner Tree] has had a large number of unnecessary abilities eliminated, and in the process of self-evolution, it has begun to focus on the purification ability of its roots and branches.

Moreover, under the transformation of the Blood Springs Spiritual Qi, it possesses a trace of the ability to transform Yin and Yang, life and death, which is precisely what Li Fan values most.

Then, after the [Blood Soul Banner Tree] absorbed a large amount of Yin and Death Soul Power from the surroundings, it filtered out most of the impurities and circulated seven times throughout its entire life. The originally Yin and Death-filled Soul Power actually gave birth to a trace of Wood Spirit vitality, which was stubbornly enveloped by the Soul Power.

Under Li Fan's detection, Soul Flower Blood Fruit had begun to condense on a certain branch.

"Although it's not quite ready for use by cultivators in the mortal world yet, it represents a crucial step forward."

"As long as we can find the mechanism of Avatar from death within this sliver of life, and then add yang energy, a spiritual plant that can grow on the edge of the Yellow Springs River can be cultivated."

This greatly encouraged him; the transition between life and death is the most intriguing thing to be explored.

Just then, [Stream Ravine Mountain] trembled, Blood Qi rose, and various images born in this place began to spontaneously converge, following a certain natural spiritual rhythm, combining and intertwining.

"Splash!"

A babbling brook, a Blood Soul Stream, meanders from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, flowing slowly down.

A blurry figure can be seen at the edge of the Blood Soul Stream, planting saplings that can gather blood souls and bear strange fruits.

Silently sensing the changes in this place:

"It's [Soul Creek Mystic Scenery], which might solve the problem of [Blood Soul Banner Tree] growing in other places in the future."

He didn't want to think about anything else for the time being, and activated the surging Blood Qi power around him. The [Venerable Blood Palace] moved with him, and the enormous suction and refining power began to extract and refine the [Soul Creek Mystic Scenery].

"Boom! Boom!"

Before he could feel any joy, he heard a series of jarring sounds as air vibrated outside.

Turning my head, I saw a hundred-meter-tall figure wearing a bamboo hat and shrouded in black mist outside the mountain-guarding formation, constantly striking the formation.

The black figure in the straw hat was surrounded by an aura of death and ghosts, and water from the Yellow Springs kept falling from the hat from who-knows-where, making it extremely eerie.

"Soul... blood... stream..."

For no apparent reason, a series of strange, intermittent sounds drifted towards [Stream Ravine Mountain].

Li Fan frowned, extending a sliver of his divine sense to try and see what kind of thing this was.

Then the terrifying black figure in the straw hat let out a sinister laugh and reached out to grab his consciousness.

"Hehe! A living person... eat..."

Caught off guard, Li Fan's connection with his own consciousness was severed, and a sharp pain shot up to his brow.

"Hiss, what the hell is this? It can actually capture divine sense."

His vigilance reached its peak. This bit of divine sense didn't affect him much; it would heal completely in a day or two. However, the fact that this guy was outside the mountain-guarding formation made him feel quite dangerous.

"We still need to hire a specialist; I'm really not very familiar with this field."

Using the mountain-guarding token, he contacted Liu Wuxin, the River-Patrolling Yin Soldiers, and a ghostly figure appeared before him.

Liu Wuxin was somewhat puzzled when he saw that it was this Blood Qi Dao cultivator who contacted him, but when he saw [Soul Creek Mystic Scenery] behind him, his expression changed slightly.

Li Fan shifted his gaze outside the great formation, pointing at the dark figure in the bamboo hat and said:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, what kind of monster is this? Can your River-Patrolling Yin Soldiers handle it?"

Upon seeing the figure in the bamboo hat, Liu Wuxin's expression changed drastically, his yin energy intensified, and even the official robes he wore for patrolling the river trembled slightly.

"Buzhen Daoist Buzhen, this is Yellow Springs Water Ghost. You must not leave the mountain-guarding formation; this ghost is extraordinary."

"If an unsuspecting cultivator is touched by it, it will immediately possess their body and drag them into the water. At that time, the Yin and Yang will shift, and it can be resurrected by possessing a living person's body, which is extremely dangerous."

"Wait a moment, I'll be there with the river patrol team."

After hearing his explanation, Li Fan was secretly shocked:

"Are there really such bizarre things? The things of the Netherworld are indeed terrifying and eerie; no wonder the Federation doesn't have many records about them."

He was immediately flustered and quickly put away the Blood Soul Spirit Plant he had cultivated in [Stream Ravine Mountain]. Finally, his gaze fell upon the [Big-Mouthed Flower Spirit Plant] at the very bottom of the Yellow Springs Stream.

At this moment, the [Big-Mouthed Flower Spirit Plant] had completely changed. A hideous soul shadow began to appear on the blood flower with a human face, but it was devoured by it in a short while and then sank into the Yellow Springs, something that had been retrieved from the stream.

"Hmm? This has mutated to have a special attack against ghosts and spirits!"

Li Fan stroked his chin, maintaining the Blood Palace's Mystic Refining Technique while casting a spiritual plant spell to establish a close connection with the [Big-Mouthed Flower Spirit Plant].
