Jiang Zhi: "It's not that bad, we're still at the tail end, we should be able to compete for another round, right? Anyway, it's finally over, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go have a celebratory meal."

Whenever they had something to celebrate, they would go out to eat, Shan Heyuan had become accustomed to the trio's meals together.

This time, however, he disagreed, waving his hand. "I won't eat. I need to hurry back and tell Shen Duheng the good news."

Jiang Zhi grabbed him, preventing him from leaving. "Didn't you already know you were number one in the Planting Institute after the competition a couple of days ago? Today you just won an award, is there any need to make a special mention of it? You can go out for dinner and come back to talk about it later."

Shan Heyuan said confidently, "Not all Spring Crystal are the same. Brother Shen has definitely never seen this kind of Spring Crystal before. I'll take it back and show it to him."

After saying that, Shan Heyuan didn't wait for Jiang Zhi to react further before quickly making his escape.

Jiang Zhi was furious and complained to Li Jian, "What does it mean to prioritize a woman over a friend? This guy is a perfect example."

Li Jian comforted him, "You already know he values women over friends, so what else is there to say? Let him go, we'll give him another beating tomorrow."

Shan Heyuan returned home excitedly, only to find Shen Duheng already there.

He showed Shen Duheng the Spring Crystal, and Shen Duheng was indeed happy for him. The two even went out for a meal.

After dinner, instead of going to bed early, Shan Heyuan held the Spring Crystal in his hand and played with it.

Before obtaining the Spring Crystal, he had been hoping for a pool of spiritual spring water.

Now that he actually has it, he's a little reluctant to use the Spring Crystal to make Spirit Spring Water.

Spirit spring water is much more common than Spring Crystal. If you want it, you can buy not only Core Formation Nascent Soul level spirit spring water.

Spring Crystal are extremely rare and seldom seen on the market, which is why the Planting Institute used them as the first prize.

Unfortunately, although it is rare, it is a consumable item, only about the size of a fist, and once it's used up, it's gone.

I don't know when I'll be able to find Spring Crystal again.

Shan Heyuan played, his gaze suddenly fell on the Golden Silk Dense Moss in the courtyard.

He spread the Golden Silk Dense Moss in his Dantian, and had to change it every half month, otherwise the Golden Silk Dense Moss would die and pollute his Dantian.

Therefore, Golden Silk Dense Moss is a one-time resource for him, and he grows an exceptionally large amount of it.

He didn't waste what he had used up; he replaced them all and put them in the vat to be used as raw materials for the next batch of calcined Fertilizer Pill.

Now, the courtyard is covered with Golden Silk Dense Moss, like rows of cushions, looking soft and thick, and very comfortable to sit on.

Shan Heyuan looked at them, then looked down at Spring Crystal.

He scratched at the Spring Crystal with his finger.

The texture of the Spring Crystal is too soft.

He gently pried it off and actually managed to scrape some debris off.

These fragments are as fine as gold dust; they spread out immediately when crushed in your hand.

If--

What would happen if the Golden Silk Dense Moss absorbed the Spring Crystal fragments?

Shan Heyuan's heart was racing.

If this method works, wouldn't it change the ecosystem within his Dantian?

Shan Heyuan stood up and went to get a large piece of Golden Silk Dense Moss.

He drew his spirit sword and scraped off a pinch of Spring Crystal powder.

Then, he tentatively let the driving Golden Silk Dense Moss envelop the debris.

He has cultivated the Golden Silk Dense Moss for countless generations, and it is now completely different from the Golden Silk Dense Moss in nature.

The leaves of these Golden Silk Dense Moss are wider and more inclusive.

He used a "Return a Plum for a Peach" technique, slowly controlling the leaves to open their stomata.

Gradually, the Spring Crystal was truly enveloped, like a pearl inside an oyster; the Golden Silk Dense Moss immediately secreted a substance to envelop it.

Shan Heyuan felt his heart leap into his throat.

He held his breath, controlling the Golden Silk Dense Moss to slowly expel moisture.

The Spring Crystal slowly melted in the Golden Silk Dense Moss, and the spiritual spring released by the Golden Silk Dense Moss indeed contained a rich Spiritual Qi.

In other words, the Golden Silk Dense Moss discharged spiritual spring water!

This method really works!

If successful, the Spirit Plant in his Dantian will then have access to spiritual spring water!

Shan Heyuan immediately replaced the original Golden Silk Dense Moss in his Dantian with new moss.

This replacement process is quite complex.

He worked for a while, moving all the Spirit Plant in his Dantian onto the new Golden Silk Dense Moss.

Currently, there are five kinds of Spirit Plant growing in my Dantian: Golden Silk Dense Moss, which is at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage; Lightning-Struck Wood Sprout, whose grade is indistinguishable; Illusionless Tree, Earth Origin Grass, and Pure Lotus, Core Formation stage.

It was precisely these five Spirit Plant that released Spiritual Qi day and night in his Dantian, which enabled him to cultivate so quickly.

As soon as they grew on the Golden Silk Dense Moss, Shan Heyuan immediately used the "Return a Plum for a Peach" technique to manipulate the Golden Silk Dense Moss, causing it to release moisture and nutrients.

The water, imbued with the essence of the spiritual spring, was released and quickly absorbed by the other Spirit Plant.

Spiritual spring water naturally has a great promoting effect on Spirit Plant, not to mention that the spiritual spring water in the Golden Silk Dense Moss is of the Core Formation grade.

The Spirit Plant absorbed the spiritual spring water rapidly, growing at a speed visible to Divine Sense.

The Illusionless Tree, in particular, sprouted two new leaves in the blink of an eye, and the plant also grew taller.

Shan Heyuan could feel the Spiritual Power in his Dantian surging and changing. Except for the Golden Silk Dense Moss, all the Spirit Plant conveyed joyful emotions, and the Illusionless Tree even twisted in his Dantian.

When the spiritual spring water released by the Golden Silk Dense Moss reached its limit, Shan Heyuan awoke from his meditation and immediately felt that his cultivation had improved a little, and the Spiritual Power in his body had become more condensed.

He put down the remaining half of the Spring Crystal and excitedly ran to find Shen Duheng: "Brother Shen, my cultivation has improved again!"

He was so happy that he didn't care about anything else and pushed open Shen Duheng's door and ran inside.

Shen Duheng was taking a shower. Hearing his voice, he grabbed a large towel from the shelf next to him, wrapped it around his waist, and opened the bathroom door. "What?"

The weather is already quite hot now, but it gets a bit cool at night.

Shen Duheng used hot water to take a bath. The damp smell of the hot water rushed out as he opened the door, enveloping Shan Heyuan, and faintly carrying his own unique scent.

Shan Heyuan didn't think anything of it at first, but when she smelled his unique masculine scent, her face turned red instantly, her mind went blank, and everything she had wanted to say before was forgotten.

He opened his mouth, glanced at Shen Duheng, who was wrapped in a towel, as if in a daze, and then glanced at him again.

Shen Duheng is tall and has well-defined, smooth muscles, especially his chest and abdominal muscles.

His waist was very thin, creating a very pronounced curve when compared to his chest and shoulders.

It's like a sharp sword, instantly closing in.

This body is absolutely gorgeous; it's brimming with beauty and power.

Shan Heyuan was the same sex, he still couldn't take his eyes off her.

He himself has a good physique, but he could never achieve such a perfect body.

At that moment, Shan Heyuan inexplicably thought of Shen Duheng in a suit. If he were to give him a suit, completely covering him up, and then tightly fasten the buttons at the waist—

Broad shoulders, a flat stomach, and long legs.

Shan Heyuan immediately felt as if a perfect nine-headed figure modeled after Shen Duheng had appeared before his eyes.

Shan Heyuan's eyes were fixed on something when he suddenly felt an itch in his nose.

He awkwardly covered his nose with his hand before he could smell a faint odor of blood.

Ah!

He actually got a nosebleed!

Shan Heyuan stared wide-eyed at his hands, his entire face filled with disbelief.

From the moment he saw Shen Duheng to the moment his nose started bleeding, it all happened in just a few seconds.

Shen Duheng had just come out when he saw him like this. He frowned and was about to say something.

Shan Heyuan hurriedly stepped back. "It was probably from the competition before. I didn't expect it to have any aftereffects. Haha, I'm okay. You didn't see Jiang Zhi, that guy's face was covered in blood."
