Chapter 473: New Spiritual Plants

According to Ji Yang’s estimate, even if the spiritual grains had matured, there wouldn’t be much left; it would be a blessing to find some withered seedlings of spiritual grains.

Soon, the outline of Jingtan Peak appeared in Ji Yang’s eyes.

From a distance, Jingtan Peak was lush and green, filled with many seedlings of spiritual grains.

However, as Ji Yang approached, he noticed that the seedlings in the spiritual field were scattered and messy, leaning this way and that. Beneath the seedlings, there were also some unusual bite marks.

Clearly, this was not the batch he had planted himself.

From the way they were planted, it must have been done by Little Black and the other beasts.

Though he had lost a batch of light points, Ji Yang was not angry. He had plenty of time; he could always plant another batch, and this time he had gained quite a lot, which was acceptable.

In the next moment, Ji Yang descended towards the peak.

The first thing he needed to do was report to Ye Wuchen, as he had always been a respectful and devoted disciple.

As Ji Yang landed at the peak, Little Black, basking in the sun beside the wooden house, immediately showed joy and prepared to pounce on him.

The other beast, Xuanqing, was equally excited. Ji Yang’s return meant that its pill jars were back, and it had no desire to show any excitement until now.

Ji Yang stopped their enthusiasm at once.

“Creak.”

As the wooden door opened, Ye Wuchen’s figure slowly appeared before him.

“Master, your disciple has faced countless difficulties and dangers, but I have finally returned successfully.”

Ji Yang spoke with a face full of hardship about the challenges he had faced.

But Ye Wuchen merely looked Ji Yang up and down without saying much.

Ji Yang glanced at his clean clothes and then at the fully packed storage bag he was carrying, and his next words faltered.

He had hoped to see if he could get something from Ye Wuchen, but now it seemed hopeless.

He should have changed his appearance first.

“It’s good that you’re back. Rest for a couple of days.”

Ji Yang was taken aback by the reply.

After all the thoughts he had on the warship about how to report this secret realm trip to Ye Wuchen—what to say, what not to say—he did not expect Ye Wuchen to act as he had last time, without asking too many questions.

This made Ji Yang feel slightly uneasy about his conscience, but he had too many secrets to share.

“Alright.”

In the end, Ji Yang could only nod in agreement, and Ye Wuchen turned and returned to the wooden house.

The first thing Ji Yang did after returning to Jingtan Peak was to check on the spiritual plants in his spiritual field.

These were the most precious treasures of Jingtan Peak, especially the two top-tier spiritual plants.

Upon seeing the intact Seven-Leaf Soul Flower and Dragon Heart Nine Leaf Mushroom, Ji Yang sighed in relief.

He had been worried that Little Black and Little White might have eaten them.

Cultivation Level +1

Skillfully absorbing the Light points produced by the two top-tier spiritual plants, Ji Yang checked the other high-level spiritual plants.

Unfortunately, most of the spiritual plants only produced Green Light Points, but adhering to the principle of waste not, Ji Yang collected them all.

After gathering the spiritual plants, Ji Yang turned and took down a storage bag.

Inside the storage bag were the spiritual plants he had exchanged for treasures with Peak Master Su.

There was one top-tier spiritual plant and twenty high-level spiritual plants, all ready for planting.

However, the current spiritual field was clearly not enough, and he needed to open up more space.

Besides these spiritual plants, Ji Yang had also obtained quite a few high-level spiritual plants in the secret realm, so the need for more spiritual fields was increasing.

Finally, Ji Yang’s gaze fell on a section of the spiritual field planted with spiritual grains, and he immediately began to pull out the immature grains one by one.

Little Black and Xuanqing were both confused by this action.

If it were anyone else, the two beasts would certainly not hold back; after all, those were the spiritual grains they had worked hard to plant, and they were looking forward to a big harvest soon.

But since the one taking action was Ji Yang, the two beasts could only rush to the spiritual field to help!

They even had to compete to see who could work faster!

Soon, a large area of the spiritual field was organized by Ji Yang.

As Ji Yang took out the many spiritual plants from the storage bag, the two beasts stared wide-eyed.

Unlike the spiritual grains, the spiritual plants contained much more spiritual energy, and it was purer, greatly benefiting them. The previously planted spiritual plants were only for them to look at; they couldn’t eat them.

Surely, they could eat these newly planted ones, right?

However, when the two beasts saw Ji Yang slowly planting the spiritual plants in the ground, a hint of disappointment appeared in their eyes; it seemed they had no hope for these spiritual plants either.

Then, Ji Yang tossed out several pills.

Sensing the familiar scent, the two beasts immediately excitedly caught them.

Ji Yang’s first planting was the top-tier spiritual plant sent by Peak Master Su.

Although Ji Yang had never seen this particular top-tier spiritual plant, he didn’t think Peak Master Su would gift him something truly useful, perhaps it held some unknown secrets.

To be safe, Ji Yang planted this spiritual plant in a separate area of the spiritual field, preparing to observe it before making a decision.

Next, Ji Yang planted the other high-level spiritual plants in another section of the spiritual field.

Once Ji Yang finished planting, a large area of the newly opened spiritual field was already occupied.

At first glance, it was not much different from the sect’s spiritual herb garden.

This brought a satisfied smile to Ji Yang’s face.

From now on, this would be the foundation of Jingtan Peak. With these few top-tier spiritual plants, even if he sold the peak, their value would at least triple.

But then Ji Yang shook his head; Jingtan Peak hadn’t yet come into his hands, so he couldn’t sell it even if he wanted to.

After planting all the spiritual plants, Ji Yang looked at the small remaining section of the spiritual field, and suddenly an idea sparked in his mind.

He almost forgot about another reward he had obtained, which was the seed he acquired from his residence.

Ji Yang couldn’t be sure if that seed was a top-tier spiritual plant, but since it had survived for so long, it certainly was not a common variety. If he could cultivate it, it would definitely bring a touch of brilliance to Jingtan Peak.

Ji Yang took out the black seed, dug a hole in the spiritual field, and buried it.

After burying it, Ji Yang remembered to water it.

After going through this process, Ji Yang decided to observe it for a while; if it couldn’t grow on its own, he would intervene.

After handling the spiritual plants, Ji Yang took out another item from Heaven’s Secret Pearl.

When Ji Yang brought this item out, the two beasts were once again captivated by it, even showing more excitement than when they saw the spiritual plants.

Indeed, what Ji Yang took out this time was the Mine Spirit.

As a product of the secret silver mine, this item exuded powerful spiritual energy.

To the spiritual beasts, this was also an irresistible temptation; their instincts told them that swallowing this would surely make them stronger.
