Master of Spiritual Plants

  The silver-white flying board slowly descended onto the lawn in front of a villa at the top of the mountain peak. Bi Yunqing turned her head and smiled lightly, "Chu Xiao, we're here..." But before she could finish her sentence, she was cut off by Chu Xiao's pale face and sweaty forehead, "You, what's wrong?"

  Bi Yunqing anxiously asked Dao.

  "I'm fine..."

  Chu Xiao felt his head was still spinning and heavy, with great difficulty, he managed to say a word.

  "Do you have acrophobia?"

  Bi Yun's heart was filled with delicate thoughts, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed through her mind. She covered her small mouth with both hands and let out a soft cry.

  Chu Xiao smiled wryly and nodded, but it wasn't until a while later that he felt a bit better. He walked down from the flying board, but his legs were still shaking like he was drunk, stumbling and staggering. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Bi Yunqing's quick eyes and hands saved him, grabbing onto Chu Xiao's arm.

  Bi Yunqing didn't expect that the handsome-looking boy in front of her would actually have acrophobia. It's probably hard for people to believe if she told them, no wonder his face looked so awful when he was on the flying board earlier. She couldn't help but laugh secretly.

  However, she understood people's intentions and didn't say anything. She quickly changed the subject: "My great-grandfather and great-grandmother have arrived."

  Chu Xiao hastily looked over and saw two people walking out of the villa. One was indeed Bi Changchun, and the other was an old lady who appeared to be in her sixties or seventies, giving off a kind and loving aura, especially with every move she made, which carried a sense of elegance.

  "Grandpa Bi, Grandma Bi, good."

  Chu Xiao hurried over and said politely.

  "Heh heh, Chu Xiao, you're here. Why doesn't your face look good?" Bi Changchun smiled all over his face, then looked at Chu Xiao's complexion and seemed to understand: "You should have acrophobia, I'll teach you a mental cultivation method. Usually take some Return Spirit Dan or Gather Spirit Dan, and it will improve in ten days or half a month."

  Chu Xiao hesitated, after all, the price of spiritual-type cultivation methods was not inferior to that of high-quality Qi-refining cultivation methods, and it was also extremely precious. Even if it were the lowest-level spiritual-type cultivation method, it would likely cost tens of millions of Spirit Coins. "Hehe, you're about to become my disciple, consider this a little gift for our meeting!"

  Bi Changchun didn't know Chu Xiao's thoughts, and smiled.

  "Thank you, Uncle Bi." Chu Xiao hastily expressed his gratitude.

  The old lady next to him suddenly smiled and said, "Child, are you still calling him Grandpa Bi?"

  Chu Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and hastily said, "Thank you, Master."

  Having received the gift for meeting, it's time to change one's tune.

  Bi Changchun stroked his chin whiskers, nodded in satisfaction and said: "Although we haven't had a master-apprentice welcoming banquet yet, from now on, you are my Bi Changchun's personal disciple! Alright, let's go inside first!"

  As the renowned alchemy master of Ziyun City, the president of the Alchemy Association, with a high status and respected by many, taking in a personal disciple is not something to be taken lightly. A grand ceremony will definitely be held, inviting many dignitaries and influential figures from Ziyun City, as well as those close to Bi Changchun, to bear witness to the apprenticeship ritual, which will undoubtedly be very grand.

  Four people entered the villa, and the interior decoration made Chu Xiao's eyes light up. The garden-style atmosphere was filled with many spiritual medicine potted plants. Most importantly, these spiritual medicine potted plants were combined in a harmonious way, full of elegant beauty. Moreover, the breath of these spiritual medicines was compatible, and the fragrance mixed together made people feel happy, refreshed, and calm, always in a peaceful state.

  Even in such an atmosphere, Chu Xiao felt that his acrophobia and its aftereffects had alleviated.

  Seeing Chu Xiao's astonished expression, Bi Yunqing smiled lightly and said, "These potted plants were all planted by my great-grandmother."

  Chu Xiao exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be that Old Lady Bi is a Spiritual Plant Master?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but steal a glance at the kind and gentle Old Lady Bi.

  "My great-grandmother was a master of spiritual plants."

  It's obvious that Bi Yunqing seems to admire her great-grandmother very much, and when she speaks, there is a sense of pride and arrogance.

  One door two masters, Chu Xiao sighed, indeed not simple!

  "Yun Qing, you take Chu Xiao for a walk around first!"

  Bi Changchun saw that Chu Xiao seemed very interested in the potted landscape, and immediately smiled lightly.

  "If you like, you can choose any one of them, but you can only choose one!"

  Grandma Bi said suddenly.

  Bi Yunqing and Bi Changchun were slightly stunned, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

  "Hehe, Chu Xiao, these bonsai trees are your great aunt's treasured possessions. I don't know how many people have dreamed of having them but never got the chance. You'd better make the most of this opportunity!"

  Bì Chángchūn smiled and said.

  "Ah, this is a gift for Chu Xiao's visit," said Grandma Bi with a sideways glance at Bi Changchun. "Alright, Chu Xiao, if you can pick out the most precious potted landscape among my collection, I'll give you an extra one as a reward."

  Chu Xiao's heart was filled with joy as he could see that each and every potted landscape here was precious beyond description, after all, they were the masterpieces of a spiritual plant grandmaster.

  Under Bi Yunqing's lead, Chu Xiao walked towards the Penjing area.

  "This is a pot of Fuling flower, a top-grade lower-level spiritual medicine, extremely precious and difficult to cultivate with very low survival rate. Until now, no one has successfully researched a large-scale cultivation method for it. It's said that only the Ling Mountain area in Lichou is suitable for its growth, where small-scale cultivation is possible. My great-grandmother cultivated this pot of Fuling flower from a wild young sprout and carefully nurtured it."

  In front of a bonsai, Bi Yunqing carefully explained it.

  It's clear that she is very familiar with spiritual medicine cultivation.

  This pot of Linghua is a type of spiritual flower, with low-growing rhizomes, bright yellow in color, and emerald green leaves. Only at the top is a single silver-white flower, about the size of a wine cup, which will never wither and is the essence of the entire plant. As the years pass, it will slowly grow larger.

  Even if Bi Yunqing didn't say it, Chu Xiao was very familiar with this pot of scenery. No other reason, he had already activated the Cultivation System, and all the information about this pot of Linghua had been revealed.

  "Target: Peony."

  Rank: Top-grade Lower Quality.

  Growth years: 52 years.

  Efficacy year: 589 (middle cycle six segments).

  "Properties: Condensing and refining one's spirit, eliminating heart demons, distracting thoughts, purifying the seven emotions and six desires, elevating spiritual awareness and intention..."

  ......．

  Seeing the efficacy of this Linghua flower, with a ratio of medicinal years to growth years as high as 11.3 or more, Chu Xiao was amazed, it seems that Bi Niangniang's spiritual plant standard is indeed not ordinary.

  Chu Xiao recently read a book on spiritual plants from his father's study. The assessment standard of the spiritual plant master has an important aspect, which is the ratio of medicinal effect to growth years. Once it exceeds ten, it belongs to the qualifications of a spiritual plant master.

  Don't look at this Fuling flower that has only grown for over 50 years, but its medicinal efficacy has already approached over 600 years, and it has reached the middle cycle six-stage level.

  The efficacy of elixirs under a hundred years belongs to the small cycle, one hundred to one thousand years belongs to the medium cycle, and once it exceeds one thousand years, it has reached the large cycle. This cycle year segment directly affects the value of the elixir.

  So measuring the efficacy of a drug is generally determined by its shelf life.
