Chapter 6: The Illusory Ring of Mount Sumeru

  This is a withered and shriveled seed, which has an extremely low survival rate after being planted. Even if it somehow manages to survive, its growth will be very slow. Therefore, such seeds are not worth planting, and the Qingdan Sect has to dispose of large quantities of spiritual medicine seeds every year.

  Lin Feng held the seed in his hand, but suddenly remembered that Lin Shi's old ancestor had once said that the Su Mei Huan Jie could be used to plant spiritual medicine, and the growth rate of the spiritual medicine would also be faster.

  The area in the Xumi Fantasy Realm is very large, seemingly even larger than the Ding-class Medicine Garden of Qingdan Gate. The Ding-class Medicine Garden has a vast variety of spiritual herbs planted, and its requirements for spiritual energy are not too high, so it actually has the largest area. On the other hand, the Jia-class Medicine Garden in the Xumi Fantasy Realm almost exclusively cultivates top-grade spiritual herbs, which have very high requirements for spiritual veins, so the cultivation area is actually the smallest.

  The area in Xumi Fantian is so large that, in theory, all places can be planted with spiritual medicine. However, Lin Shiyu didn't know at the time that the place where Jiuxi Tiancui was born had a deeper and greener color than other places!

  Lin Feng naturally thought that this area should be the core of the Xumi Fantian, and it should also be the most suitable place for spiritual medicine to grow. Just from the stone monument with the four characters "Xumi Fantian", you can see that the spiritual energy here is extremely dense!

  Anyway, there was no spiritual stone to buy a full spiritual medicine seed, so Lin Feng simply used the grain of rice in his hand to test it and see if the Xu Mi Huan ring was really suitable for planting spiritual medicines.

  After the seed was sent into the Xumi Fantasy Realm, Lin Feng's divine sense had been observing its changes. The result was indeed unexpected, as soon as the seed entered the Xumi Fantasy Realm, it automatically sank into the ground and began a slow growth process.

  This situation is completely different from that of a storage bag. Any seed in the storage bag cannot grow automatically, and if not handled properly, it may even suffocate to death.

  With the Xumi Phantom Ring, Lin Feng had a high-quality medicine garden that he could carry with him at all times. This was a rare and precious treasure. From now on, Lin Feng could put all his spiritual medicines in the Xumi Phantom Ring to cultivate them, without worrying about others coveting them or searching everywhere for extremely valuable spiritual vein resources.

  Lin Feng was overjoyed by the magical effects of the Xumi Phantom Seal when a strong signal suddenly came from the immortal net in his body! Lin Feng's divine sense was forcibly pulled into the immortal net, and then he saw a shocking image!

  Lin Feng lived in the center of Xianwang, far away he saw a stone tablet, on which was written "Xu Mi Huan Jie" four big words! And near the stone tablet, was the grain of rice that Lin Feng had just planted!

  For some reason, a mysterious mantra suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's mind! When Lin Feng silently recited the mantra, a strange phenomenon occurred!

  The nine large flowers in the Xianwang simultaneously shot the spiritual energy they contained into the stone monument with the words "Xumi Huanjie"! And the nearby wheat seed, with the help of the spiritual energy on the stone monument, began to grow wildly!

  In the blink of an eye, the seed had completed its entire process of germination, sprouting and growth! At this time, the spiritual energy in the nine flowers was also depleted. Lin Feng hastily recited his mantra, and under the impetus of the Quanlong Jue, the surrounding spiritual energy once again wildly surged into Lin Feng's body, then stored itself within the nine flowers!

  Lin Feng once again recited the unknown mantra from the Xianwang, and the spiritual energy of the nine large flowers was injected into the stone tablet of the Xu Mi Huan Jie. The seedling that grew out of the grain began its crazy growth process again!

  After cycling for a while, Lin Feng spent three hours successfully catalyzing the seed into a mature spiritual herb! Although this spiritual herb is the most common Qingyu grass, under normal conditions, it takes at least sixty years from planting to maturity!

  Until then, Lin Feng withdrew his divine sense from the Xianwang and extended it into the Susu Fantasy Ring. What he saw was indeed not unexpected. The grain of spiritual seed in the Susu Fantasy Ring had now grown into a fully matured spiritual medicine!

  Lin Feng's shock and excitement were beyond words! The power of the Xianwang was originally so strong, it seemed to have an intrinsic connection with the Susu Mirage Ring, but this secret had never been discovered by the Lin family. Lin Feng also didn't know how his ancestors in the ancient times obtained this Susu Mirage Ring.

  With a satisfied heart, Lin Feng hid the Xumi Phantom Ring on his finger and sat upright to cultivate the Quelong Jue. As long as he absorbed and refined the spiritual energy in the immortal net, Lin Feng's strength would increase again!

  The cultivation of the Quelong Jue was suspended for several days, but Lin Feng quickly entered a state of complete absorption, his physical body and mind forgotten. A dragon-shaped spiritual energy gradually condensed within him, and the arduous refinement began!

  Time flew by unnoticed, and the sky was soon bright. When the first ray of sunlight shone on Lin Feng's cave, his cultivation had just come to an end. After several hours of arduous refinement, Lin Feng's gains were minimal, but he didn't feel discouraged or disappointed. Instead, he pushed open the door with confidence, ready to face a new day.

  A refreshing mountain breeze blew in, Lin Feng took a deep breath and started walking towards the D-grade medicine garden where he was serving. At this time, most of the miscellaneous disciples of Qingdanmen began to head towards their own service locations, as Chen time was the unified service time stipulated by Qingdanmen.

  Lin Feng quickly arrived at the Medicine Garden, Yu Bo and others had not yet arrived. The first to arrive were Lin Feng and other miscellaneous disciples, followed by ordinary inner door disciples, and Yu Bo and other medicine-picking disciples only arrived last.

  After Yu Bo arrived, he assigned different tasks to everyone. Finally, he glanced at Lin Feng and said: "You, go to the mountain slope opposite me and till the land for me. If you can't finish a certain amount of work, I'll make sure you're in trouble today!"

  Lin Feng didn't say a word, shouldered the shovel and arrived at the opposite mountain slope, then started to work diligently with his head down.

  This land was originally planted with a piece of spiritual medicine, but after the spiritual medicine matured, the disciples who picked the medicine took away the useful parts, and the dried straw was left in the ground. Lin Feng had to dig them out of the soil, so that he could plant new medicinal materials.

  This spiritual medicine Lin Feng recognized, from their roots left in the soil, Lin Feng could easily identify them as Bi Luo Shen.

  Biluo grass is actually a relatively common spiritual medicine, but its value is extremely high because the growth time of Biluo grass is very long, under normal conditions, it takes more than 600 years to fully mature!

  Each Birohtan can only grow one fruit, which is wrapped in the root system. After taking out the Birohtan from the root system, this spiritual medicine will wither away gradually.

  Biluo Chen, this spiritual medicine, is divided into three growth stages. 100 years for a small maturity, 300 years for medium maturity, and 600 years for full maturity. The longer the year, the higher its maturity, and the better the quality of the refined spiritual elixir.

  However, for a stage-matured spiritual medicine like Bi Luo Chen, if it's not specially cultivated by oneself, it generally won't be harvested until 600 years have passed. Because 600 years is too long a time, for cultivators below the foundation-building period, this kind of spiritual medicine growth cycle is too long and doesn't suit cultivation. Moreover, cultivators below the foundation-building period don't need such high-quality spiritual medicines either.

  So, for sects like Qingdanmen that cultivate large quantities of Bi Luo Chan, their main goal is to refine more Ling Dan to earn more Ling Shi. And 100-year-old Bi Luo Chan is undoubtedly the most cost-effective. Because the later the growth cycle, the longer it takes, ordinary foundation-building cultivators can't afford that year's spiritual medicine, and Qingdanmen won't lower the price of spiritual medicine to do a losing business.

  In fact, for cultivators below the foundation stage, 100-year-old Bi Luo Chun is already sufficient! The higher the grade of spiritual medicine, the better, but the price of high-grade spiritual medicine is also staggering, and it's simply a waste for low-level cultivators.

  The Lingluo under Lin Feng's feet was also taken away by people 100 years ago. The Qingdan Gate must use these spiritual medicines to refine a large batch of spiritual pills in preparation for the Dan Conference, and then sell them to other sects at the conference.

  Lin Feng clearly remembered that in the year 100, a Bi Luo Chan had once been traded for three hundred Ling Stones at the Tai Yi Gate, which was almost equivalent to the price of a low-grade magic weapon.

  It can be imagined that the 300-year-old Bi Luo Chan, a spiritual medicine suitable for foundation-building cultivators, would be extremely expensive. And what about the 600-year-old Bi Luo Chan, a spiritual medicine suitable for Dan-forming cultivators? It would be an astronomical price!

  The price of the elixir is already so high, what about the elixir pills refined from it? Most cultivators, even if they obtain the elixir, may not personally refine it. They can only ask a large sect like Qingdanmen to help them refine it, otherwise they might end up wasting the elixir!

  The Qingdan Sect is so wealthy for two reasons. On the one hand, they are well-versed in the art of cultivating spiritual herbs, and most commonly used medicinal materials can be successfully cultivated. On the other hand, their alchemy skills are superb, and every time they help others refine elixirs, they charge a refining fee of at least 10% to as much as 90%!

  Lin Feng dug up the soil, and the roots of the Bilei grass were turned out by him. Most of them had withered and wilted, and some had even begun to rot. Lin Feng kept gathering them together, then used magic to thoroughly destroy them.
