Shan Heyuan: "You just need to take care of the Thousand Powder Grass for me, mainly watering it at fixed times and locations when the wind blows."

Realm Spirit: "I can't control your Dantian Small World, so how can the wind blow?"

Shan Heyuan smiled, "Manual fanning will suffice, once every two hours. I'll tell you the airflow."

Thousand Powder Grass is very difficult to grow, and even after it is grown, it is difficult to manage. This kind of spiritual herb is really too delicate.

This is why it has almost disappeared in the wild. Shan Heyuan went to great lengths to cultivate it, so there's no way he would have any problems with its management.

Previously, he would return to his Dantian Small World at set times to manage it, but this slow and tedious process was just too exhausting.

Now that we have Realm Spirit, it's good to let Realm Spirit manage things. It gives Realm Spirit something to do, so she won't be idle and come up with strange ideas.

Besides managing the spiritual herbs, Realm Spirit also taught Realm Spirit Shan Heyuan about spatial knowledge.

However, Realm Spirit didn't take it too seriously. She lectured as she went along, mainly with the attitude of "I've explained it, whether you understand it or not is up to you," which was blatantly perfunctory.

These things can't be forced.

After listening to the lectures and combining them with the ancient books he had found outside, Shan Heyuan gradually gained a better understanding of space.

He also attempted to modify the Dantian Small World.

Transforming the Dantian Small World is a massive undertaking, but Shan Heyuan, who has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, considers it insignificant compared to transforming an entire world.

He wants to transform the Dantian Small World, but he still needs to work hard to reach a higher level.

Shan Heyuan is currently stuck at the Nascent Soul Early Stage and is having trouble finding a path to cultivation.

He used to cultivate very quickly, mainly thanks to the various Spirit Plant in his Dantian.

Now that his cultivation level has increased, although the Spirit Plant in his Dantian Small World still release Spiritual Power, the amount is no longer enough to make his cultivation level advance by leaps and bounds. At most, it can only meet his daily cultivation needs, so his cultivation speed has suddenly slowed down a lot.

Shan Heyuan tried many methods and finally remembered the big banyan tree that Master Kucheng had mentioned.

That large banyan tree was actually Spirit Transformation cultivator.

He has the spatial coordinates of that big banyan tree. Since they've already decided to leave, why don't they go find that banyan tree and ask it?

If only he could trade for a branch, with a spirit tree of the Spirit Transformation stage, his cultivation speed might increase once again.

Shan Heyuan shared this idea with Shen Duheng.

Shen Duheng had almost finished his business here. Hearing that he wanted to visit the big banyan tree, I agreed without hesitation, "It's good to see more of the place. Things might be tough when we get to Bi Province."

Shan Heyuan nodded repeatedly. "That's what I thought too. Once we get to Bi Province, we might not be able to find Spirit Plant of such high quality again."

The two acted immediately, quietly leaving Youcheng City on an ordinary morning and heading straight for the space where the banyan tree was located.

Shan Heyuan has recently learned a lot about space. When they travel to other places again, they no longer need to fly on their swords, but can directly use space teleportation.

Although the location of spatial teleportation is not very accurate and the cost is relatively high, it is much more convenient than using spirit swords to travel.

Moreover, the risk is lower; at least with spatial teleportation, the number of people encountered along the way will be greatly reduced.

Shan Heyuan and Shen Du disguised themselves again, this time as a pair of fellow disciples who had just come out of the sect for training.

Both of them used swords, and both used black swords that bore no resemblance to their natal spirit swords.

Shan Heyuan had been a teacher and had a certain understanding of his disciples' demeanor, appearance, and daily hobbies. The two of them disguised themselves very well and stayed overnight in several places along the way without arousing any suspicion.

It took them four days to reach the peninsula closest to the banyan tree.

The banyan tree grows on a remote island overseas, and they have to travel there by sword to get close to it.

The two rested on the peninsula for a day.

They didn't specifically inquire about the banyan tree, but everyone on the peninsula knew about it. There were also many things related to the banyan tree on the peninsula, such as decorations with banyan tree patterns, utensils made from banyan branches and leaves, and food related to the banyan tree.

When they casually mentioned it, a passerby warned them:

"That senior has a terrible temper. You must not get close. If you do, you'll most likely end up with your sword destroyed and yourself killed."

"Yes, that person loathed humans. It's said he was originally human, but because he hated humans so much, he transformed into a banyan tree."

"Let alone that senior, the weather in that area is also extremely bad. Any experienced captain would stay far away from that area, otherwise, if they were swept into the sea by a giant wave, they would have no chance of survival."

Shan Heyuan and his group inquired along the way but didn't receive a single positive review. Shan Heyuan even began to doubt whether coming to find this senior was the right choice.

But since they've already come this far, there's no reason for them to back down.

Their cultivation level is decent; other than that, they should have no problem escaping.

With this in mind, Shan Heyuan felt a little more at ease and decided to proceed with the original plan to find that senior.

The day the two set off was a bright and sunny day.

As they rode their swords to the sea, the rising sun was slowly ascending from the other side of the ocean, its golden light shimmering across the surface.

Countless seabirds cried out in the sky, and large fish below occasionally surfaced, spouting water into the air.

Judging by the scenery alone, it would definitely rank among the top few they had ever seen in their lives.

Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng shared a sword. "The scenery here is really beautiful. If we ever have nothing to do in the future, it would be nice to build a house by the sea and live here."

"Okay. The seaside will be our second settlement."

"So, if we see a good place along the way, we'll mark it as the third, fourth, and fifth settlement?"

"If that's the case, we shouldn't lack places to kill time in the future."

The two traveled swiftly on their swords.

Shan Heyuan adjusted his direction from time to time based on the spatial coordinates given by Master Kucheng.

Around noon, they spotted the large banyan tree in the sea.

That banyan tree was enormous; it must have been several hundred meters tall.

The enormous canopy points straight to the sky, like an island in the sea.

It also resembled a mirage, a scene projected from the divine realm.

In any case, this doesn't resemble a scene that one would expect to see in the world of cultivation.

Before seeing this giant banyan tree, Shan Heyuan found it hard to imagine that a tree could grow to look like this.

How does it grow to this size? Is it due to rainfall?

And what about fertilizer? Isolated overseas, what provides it with basic nutrition?

Furthermore, does the massive amount of water required for transpiration all come from seawater?

Growing here completely violates the fundamental laws governing the growth of Spirit Plant.

The two flew closer and closer on their swords, and saw countless birds and insects flying up from the big banyan tree.

The bird flapped its wings, making a whooshing sound, like a dark cloud rising from the tree.

With trees and birds, the eternally blue sea no longer seems so desolate.

Shan Heyuan saw these birds, he inexplicably felt that perhaps this great banyan tree wasn't as eccentric as he had imagined.

After all, Spirit Plant with such a peculiar temperament probably wouldn't allow so many creatures to nest on its body.

Referring to the Illusionless Tree, in the area where the Illusionless Tree exists, not even a single insect can be seen, let alone a bird.

They were already very close to the big banyan tree; it would be inappropriate not to say hello at such a close distance.

Standing on his flying sword, Shan Heyuan transmitted his voice to the banyan tree, saying, "Greetings, Senior. I Master Kucheng."

The two dropped their pretenses while speaking.

The two regained their original appearances and cultivation levels; their demeanor alone suggested they were not ordinary people.
