"The spiritual spring water is filled with spiritual energy. Not only can this spiritual energy be used for cultivation, but most importantly, it can speed up the growth of spiritual plants. Moreover, many high-grade spiritual plants can only grow and mature under the nourishment of the spiritual spring water."
"Currently, many of the spiritual plants in our country are cultivated through spirit springs. Every spirit spring represents unimaginable wealth."
"I see."
Zhao Aiguo nodded in understanding.
No wonder there was so much Body Refining Grass in this place. No wonder the higher-ups had instructed them not to use weapons of mass destruction when they were first assigned the mission.
He had guessed from the start that there was a spiritual spring in the mountains.
"Alright, don't think too much about these things. I'll tell you slowly when we get back. Since you've already become a Connate martial artist, you should have some knowledge in this area." Wang Yuande patted Zhao Aiguo's shoulder and felt a sense of comfort.
There was finally a second Connate Realm martial artist in Baishan City. Moreover, it was this kind of righteous and loyal Connate Realm martial artist. It was simply too perfect.
He could finally relax a little in the future.
The position of the director of the Supernatural Supervision Bureau gave Wang Yuande a headache. It was tiring to do so much work. Even though he obtained more resources, the time he spent cultivating also decreased.
However, he was the only Connate Realm expert in the entire Baishan City. If he didn't resist, who would?
With Zhao Aiguo's help, there was finally someone who could share the burden.
"That's right, Old Zhao." Wang Yuande suddenly spoke in a soft voice, "I wonder if you have more glass pieces? I want to buy one from you. You should know that for people like us, injuries are commonplace. External injuries are easy to deal with, but internal injuries really aren't a good solution."
"This…"
Zhao Aiguo wanted to say no, but when he thought of how Wang Yuande had taken out the Starflower Pill without hesitation when he was injured, he really couldn't bring himself to refuse.
He let out a long sigh. "I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee that there will be one."
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll have to trouble you then. Old Zhao, don't worry. I'll purchase it at a price that exceeds the market price. I definitely won't make things difficult for you." Wang Yuande hurriedly thanked him.
It seemed that Zhao Aiguo would definitely be able to get his hands on it. He definitely had a unique method.
Wang Yuande wasn't greedy about these things either. He had always been an upright person. For Zhao Aiguo to be able to get his hands on the glaze, this was an ability. It was already not bad that Zhao Aiguo could sell him a portion.
This kind of medicine to treat internal injuries has always been priceless.
Zhao Aiguo nodded and didn't say anything more. To be honest, he also wanted to keep a treasure like a starflower seed with him at all times. When he returned, he would ask Xiaoyi about it. If there was a lot, he could ask Xiaoyi to sell some. It would also be a good business. If it was too little, then he would treat it as if nothing had happened.
After the two of them finished their conversation, they quickly signed the confidentiality agreement.
The reinforcements arrived very quickly, and there were many of them as well. The formation was so huge that even the people from the Supernatural Supervision Bureau, who hadn't seen much of the world, were shocked.
The troops began to clean up the environment, protect the spiritual spring, and deploy defenses. These were all classified operations, so before they even started, the people from the Supernatural Supervision Bureau were invited back.
Wang Yuande and Zhao Aiguo stayed behind to plan the usage of the spiritual spring with the army.
…
In a small courtyard on Qifeng Mountain.
Lin Yi sat cross-legged under the fruit-filled Breakthrough Fruit Tree. He held a light green fruit in his hand, and his aura gradually rose.
When his aura reached a peak, Lin Yi quickly swallowed the fruit in his hand.
The light green fruit melted in his mouth and turned into a wisp of clear air that went straight to his dantian. There was no explosion, no rumbling, and no feeling of shattering. The dantian in Lin Yi's body naturally expanded several times, and the azure wood spiritual energy in his body also grew rapidly.
The spiritual energy in the air was quickly absorbed into Lin Yi's body, and the speed of absorption was very fast. Fortunately, the current concentration of spiritual energy was relatively sufficient, so there wasn't an awkward situation where he had completely absorbed it.
After about 15 minutes, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes.
The breakthrough to the second level of the Qi Refinement Realm was completed in such a calm manner.
Lin Yi's heart was filled with joy. Ever since he obtained the inheritance and started cultivating, it had been less than a month. To be able to break through to the second level of the Qi Refinement Realm in such a short period of time, this speed was truly unimaginable.
Even when Spiritual Master Qing Mu first started cultivating, he didn't have such speed.
One must know that Spiritual Master Qing Mu was the same as the current Lin Yi. He was a heavenly spirit root that only had a single spirit root. His talent was extraordinary, and he was in a cultivation world with an abnormally high concentration of spiritual energy.
Lin Yi knew very well what he relied on to improve so quickly. Even though the heaven and earth spiritual energy was thin, the spiritual plants he obtained were all extremely precious.
He looked at the spirit sunflowers that were scattered everywhere in the small courtyard, the Star Origin Grass in the middle of the courtyard, and the Breakthrough Fruit Tree that could allow him to break through to the next realm. A sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
With these things added together, his path would be unobstructed before he reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
He put away the excess Realm Breakthrough Fruits and sealed them. He then placed them in jade boxes and stored them in the basement.
This time around, the fruit tree produced a total of seven Realm Breakthrough Fruits. Lin Yi ate one, and there were still six left. If these Breakthrough Fruits continued to be on the tree, they would lose their effects not long after. They would have to go through special treatment before they could be preserved longer.
Fortunately, the way to preserve this type of spiritual plant was the foundation of a spiritual plant master's foundation. There were quite a few in Spiritual Master Qing Mu's memories, so Lin Yi easily found the most suitable method to preserve the breakthrough fruit.
According to this method of preservation, the medicinal effect could be maintained for at least five years. This was already very long.
One had to know that in the modern world, food that had been preservative-ed would only last for two to three years at most before turning bad.
After saving the Breakthrough Fruit, Lin Yi looked at the seeds in the storage room and smiled.
He could finally take the time to study other plants. The three-leaf clover in the mountains was the degeneration of the Star Origin Grass. Ordinary sunflowers could evolve into spirit sunflowers or even mutate into Carnivorous Flowers. He didn't think that other plants didn't have such potential.
His current cultivation only required him to meditate for a while every day and then eat spirit sunflower seeds every day. He also had the time to study other plants.
After obtaining Spiritual Master Qing Mu's memories and becoming a wood-attribute cultivator, Lin Yi subconsciously developed an interest in spiritual plants.
Hence, when Zhao Aiguo returned from his mission, he passed through the layers of fog and knocked on Lin Yi's door. When he saw the various strange-looking plants in the small courtyard, he was stunned on the spot.
"Xiaoyi, where… where did you get these spirit plants from?"
After the surprise, it was followed by a deep shock. Zhao Aiguo had a lot of experience and had some understanding of the various items on the exchange list. This was to prevent him from accidentally encountering items he didn't recognize.
He was so shocked because he knew a lot. In Lin Yi's small courtyard, not only did he have dozens of spiritual plants that he had seen on the exchange list, but he had never even heard of the other plants.
