Chapter 69: The Flawless Supreme Spiritual Grain
The sword intent in Ji Yang’s eyes crystallized further as he merged the two powers together.
Previously, he had used these two swords to strike down Elder Li, but that time they were released together without fully merging.
Soon, Ji Yang slightly widened his eyes—this was the moment!
In the next instant, the sword intent took an unseeable form and struck at the seed of spiritual grain in his hand.
At the same time, Ji Yang’s face turned pale, and all his True Essence was consumed.
But when Ji Yang looked at the seed of spiritual grain in his hand, joy sparkled in his eyes!
He had succeeded; this Golden Fruit seed now had no flaws!
If it could grow to full maturity and he could replant its seeds, this would be the perfect supreme spiritual grain! Although this wouldn’t greatly benefit Ji Yang, if he could harvest enough from the first crop, that would suffice.
Despite exhausting a powerful sword energy, Ji Yang felt no disappointment at that moment.
The sword could be nurtured again, but he must not delay in planting!
Having eliminated the flaws in this seed, the other seeds could not be replicated, unless he used the remaining sword energy, but that wouldn’t be worthwhile; one supreme spiritual grain was enough; the top-quality grains were not worth such effort!
Ji Yang planted this special seed in front of the wooden house for easy observation!
After planting all the seeds, Ji Yang cast the Large Cloud Rain Technique once more.
It never hurts to water more!
Looking at the hard work he had accomplished over the past few days, a satisfied smile appeared on Ji Yang’s face.
At that moment, Ji Yang suddenly remembered he still had another seed, a reward obtained in the Unity with the Dao secret realm.
The Seven-Leaf Soul Flower.
Since he didn’t find a specific planting method, he had kept it in the secret realm!
This was a supreme spiritual plant, and its effects were extraordinary; it greatly benefited cultivators, but it only bloomed one petal every hundred years.
A hundred years was far too long for Ji Yang.
If it couldn’t grow, it would hold no meaning for him.
However, since it had been taken out, Ji Yang decided not to leave it in the storage bag anymore and simply brought it out.
Because he had just depleted all his True Essence, even if Ji Yang wanted to check for flaws now, he was powerless to do so; he could only operate the Feather Transformation Ascension Skill to gradually recover his energy.
Once his True Essence was sufficient to activate the Heart Sword, Ji Yang focused on the seed of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower in his hand.
To Ji Yang’s surprise, this supreme spiritual plant also had no weaknesses.
Ji Yang pondered for a moment.
Without any weaknesses, it should be able to grow; he would plant it in the ground to give it a try.
Unlike the spiritual grains, spiritual plants had stronger effects and absorbed spiritual energy from the heavens and earth exceptionally well. Ji Yang planted it on the opposite side of the spiritual field to avoid mutual interference!
As for the planting method, it was the same as usual: dig, water, and bury.
Since there were no spiritual beasts in the mountain, it seemed he couldn’t apply any fertilizer.
However, Ji Yang burned the weeds he had previously removed using the Fireball Technique and then buried them in the ground, which was also a decent form of fertilization in the mundane world!
Having completed all of this, Ji Yang finally felt relieved. He looked at the empty spiritual field and tightened his grip on the hoe in his hand.
Not very fulfilling!
He wondered if there were any mines to dig at Jingtan Peak.
Although he didn’t have much True Essence left, his physical body was here, so he could start digging.
Without hesitation, Ji Yang began to excavate around Jingtan Peak!
He dug a meter here!
Nothing!
He moved to the other side and dug another meter—still nothing!
Ji Yang, undeterred, continued to dig!
But after searching the entire Jingtan Peak, he still found no trace of ore.
Thinking carefully, this made sense; if there had been a mine at Jingtan Peak, Ye Wuchen would have certainly traded it for wine by now!
However, looking at the disordered mess he had created on Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang felt a bit of a headache.
But then he thought, Jingtan Peak would eventually belong to him anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal!
Since mining was a failure, another idea sparked in Ji Yang’s mind.
Wasn’t there a small pond down the mountain?
Although the pond wasn’t large, surely it must have some fish in it!
The causal fishing rod he brought back hadn’t been used much, so he might as well try it out!
Considering he still needed a fishing line for his rod, Ji Yang hurriedly searched the wooden houses at the peak and finally found a white silk line.
This fishing line was found in Ye Wuchen’s room; he didn’t know what it was used for.
Regardless, since Jingtan Peak was his, he decided to use it as a fishing line. The length was just right, making Ji Yang quite pleased!
He attached the fishing line to the rod and then added a hook.
The hook was fashioned from a Superior flying sword Ji Yang had disassembled using brute force, and then shaped with his upgraded Fireball Technique. It didn’t look very pretty, but it was good enough; at least the hook was curved.
With the newly prepared fishing rod in hand, Ji Yang approached the pond at the foot of the peak!
Looking at the pond, which was only a few dozen meters wide, Ji Yang nodded slightly; it was certainly larger than the ponds from his previous life, but in this world, it could only be a pond.
This could be considered a unique feature of Jingtan Peak, but he wondered if the fish at Shengquan Peak, which he passed earlier, were more abundant.
Ji Yang didn’t dwell on it further and cast the hook into the water!
As the hook struck the water, it created splashes, and rippling waves spread out as the hook sank into the pond.
After a moment, the surface gradually returned to calm.
Ji Yang sat by the pond and waited patiently; he had enough patience for fishing, or else he wouldn’t have been dragged into the river by a big fish before!
Only his skills were slightly lacking.
……
In the outer sect, the initial commotion had already subsided, but Ji Yang’s reputation had not diminished at all with the quiet.
This was because a renowned figure had emerged in the outer sect.
The one who claimed to be in the Second Slash Realm—Wuzhen!
As someone who had been cut down twice by Wuzhen, even Kong Bai, who had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage and became an inner disciple, felt inferior in terms of insights.
The disciples who had been cut down once felt they gained from that experience, but they had no idea what it was like to be cut down twice, so they remained silent.
“Brother Wuzhen, I have a high-grade magic tool here; please take a look.”
“Brother Wuzhen, I have some top-quality spiritual grains…”
“Brother Wuzhen, I have some fine pills!”
Wuzhen walked through the outer sect and nodded slightly at the voices around him.
Spiritual stones? Common!
Magic tools? Average!
Spiritual grains? Not needed for now!
Pills, not bad!
This junior brother, I have a fate with you!
……
In the Ziying Mine, He Feng, Ruan Yong’an, and the others looked excited!
After mining for over two years, they were finally about to leave!
Originally, there were still about ten months left, but due to the sect’s recent shortage of high-level minerals, the reward for the supreme Ziying ore had been increased, reducing their penalty time.
And the group was extremely fortunate, not only having mined two new pieces of supreme Ziying ore but also possessing the supreme Ziying ore that Ji Yang had left behind, allowing them to leave early!
The few who left the mine were full of vigor!
After the joy, they exchanged glances, all seeing each other’s thoughts.
“Let’s go find out who has been sabotaging Junior Brother Ji!”
“I won’t let him off!”
“Humph, to bully Junior Brother Ji is to bully us!”
The group declared with righteous indignation. Then Ruan Yong’an took out a flying boat, and they headed toward the sect!
