Chapter 355: Improvement of Spiritual Grains

After handling the spiritual plants, Ji Yang took out the seeds of spiritual grains he had bought at the auction.

Compared to the long-term benefits of spiritual plants, the short-term rewards from spiritual grains were much more direct, and the harvests were more significant.

Moreover, since Ye Wuchen was still on the peak, it was unlikely he would be allowed to wander around freely.

Having already visited several places within the sect, Ji Yang figured the Sect Master wouldn’t allow him to enter the sect’s mines and herb garden again.

Therefore, growing spiritual grains was now Ji Yang’s primary source of cultivation points at Jingtan Peak.

It was fortunate he had previously opened up all the spiritual fields while Ye Wuchen was away from the peak, or he would have hesitated to do so in front of Ye Wuchen.

Now, it was much easier; he simply needed to fill Jingtan Peak with new spiritual grains.

Before he could do that, however, he needed to treat the purchased seeds.

For example, he needed to eliminate their flaws!

During his trip, Ji Yang bought three different types of spiritual grains.

They were blue barley, sorghum, and blue dew.

The first two were top-quality spiritual grains, while the latter was the only supreme spiritual grain available at the auction. However, due to its indelible flaw, it was not priced very high, which was why Ji Yang could acquire it at a reasonable cost.

Ji Yang recalled what Elder Guan had said about the flaw in this type of spiritual grain, which seemed to prevent it from being planted in large areas; it required specific spacing between each planting.

Looking at the three different colored grains in his hand, Ji Yang no longer hesitated and picked up the blue barley spiritual grain.

He then activated his Heart Sword divine ability.

With the power of the Heart Sword, the spiritual grain in his hand gradually revealed its flaws.

Though it was a top-quality spiritual grain, it had several flaws, at least five in total.

If he simply planted it like this, it would likely lead to disasters and poor yields.

Yet under Ji Yang’s Heart Sword divine ability, these flaws seemed trivial.

In the next moment, Ji Yang waved his fingers, unleashing several invisible strands of sword energy toward the spiritual grain in his hand.

Each sword energy targeted the specific flaws of the grain, and before long, the spiritual grain appeared completely renewed in Ji Yang’s eyes, with no flaws remaining.

If it had been before, he might not have been able to eliminate the flaws in the grains so easily, but now, having reached the late Spirit Transformation stage, he naturally dismissed the flaws as insignificant.

After processing one seed of spiritual grain, Ji Yang took out another blue barley spiritual grain and continued the same operation.

Meanwhile, Ren Yuning watched with a frown, showing a look of confusion on her face.

She truly did not understand the purpose of Ji Yang’s actions.

Did he think just staring at the spiritual grain would make it grow?

When Ji Yang bought the spiritual grains through someone else, she had been at the auction too, and with Elder Guan’s explanation beside her, she knew that these three types of spiritual grains had certain negative effects and were not easy to cultivate.

However, thinking of the abundance of spiritual grains planted across the entire peak, a hint of doubt emerged in Ren Yuning’s eyes.

Could it be that Ji Yang had a special method in this regard?

Ren Yuning couldn’t see the sword energy in Ji Yang’s hand, so she could only guess.

But after a moment, Ren Yuning shrugged off her suspicions; after all, she was currently at Jingtan Peak. If Ji Yang could successfully cultivate them, she would see it. She didn’t believe she couldn’t uncover Ji Yang’s secret.

Ji Yang quickly finished processing the blue barley spiritual grains and then began to handle the sorghum spiritual grains.

This type of spiritual grain was also a top-quality grain, and surprisingly, it had one more flaw than the blue barley spiritual grains.

However, with Ji Yang’s absolute strength backing him, processing these two types of spiritual grains did not consume much of his time.

After finishing the two top-quality spiritual grains, Ji Yang turned his attention to the nearby blue dew spiritual grains.

This was the only supreme spiritual grain he had purchased at this auction, and it held the same grade as the Golden Fruit spiritual grains.

The Golden Fruit had previously contributed to him the Breathing Technique of All Things, and this spiritual grain also had a great possibility of providing another divine ability.

Moreover, with extensive planting, even if it did not contribute a divine ability, the cultivation points would surely be abundant.

Additionally, considering that this was an ancient spiritual grain, there might also be some unique attributes it could provide!

As Ji Yang activated his Heart Sword divine ability, he quickly discovered the flaws in the blue dew spiritual grains.

However, upon seeing the flaws of the spiritual grains themselves, Ji Yang furrowed his brows.

Logically speaking, the higher the quality of the spiritual grain, the fewer flaws it should have compared to lower-quality grains.

In the same way, fewer flaws typically meant the quality of the spiritual grain would not be low!

Yet now, Ji Yang saw that the blue dew spiritual grains had no less than ten flaws.

This puzzled Ji Yang greatly.

But then, after a moment’s thought, Ji Yang came to a realization.

Ancient spiritual grains might not be as good as the present ones.

Perhaps what was once an advantage became a weakness in the current Cultivation World.

Or maybe this type of spiritual grain had some different changes during planting; these changes could be random, not necessarily improving but potentially worsening.

Ji Yang did not dwell on it too much.

After all, this was a supreme spiritual grain. As long as he eliminated all the flaws, this spiritual grain would undoubtedly yield its cultivation points!

Resolutely, Ji Yang activated his ability once more.

With the enhancement of the Heart Sword divine ability, he eliminated the first nine flaws one by one.

But when he reached the last flaw, no matter how Ji Yang urged his Heart Sword, the flaw remained completely unmoved.

This left Ji Yang astonished!

At his current level, even the previous Golden Fruit spiritual grains would have had all their flaws eliminated.

Yet he was unable to eliminate the last flaw of this blue dew spiritual grain in his hand!

Was his cultivation level insufficient?

Or did this type of spiritual grain have a limit far beyond this?

Staring at the remaining flaw of the spiritual grain, Ji Yang wrinkled his brow, feeling helpless since he could do nothing about it.

This left Ji Yang in a bit of a quandary, and the sword energy in his veins was also not strong enough; otherwise, he could have borrowed strength like last time.

Holding onto his desire for perfection, Ji Yang stood frozen in place.

This prompted a smile from Ren Yuning nearby.

Though she did not know what difficulty Ji Yang had encountered, she would be happy as long as he was not in a good mood!

Should she ask Ye Wuchen for help?

This thought crossed Ji Yang’s mind.

After all, Ye Wuchen had used his divine ability when Ji Yang activated the Heart Sword divine ability, and with his strength, eliminating the flaws in the spiritual grains would surely be easy!

However, Ji Yang quickly brushed aside that idea.

He worried Ye Wuchen might bring up past issues and hold him accountable for the spiritual fields at Jingtan Peak.

Never mind, it would be fine!

After all, there was only one flaw left; it was not a big deal!

At worst, he could eliminate it after he advanced two more levels!

Ji Yang could only comfort himself like this!
