Chapter 82: I’m Afraid I Can’t Do It
On the fifth day after planting the seeds, Ji Yang harvested several White Light Points and a small amount of Green Light Points, but still no Blue Light Points.
The only contribution came from the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower.
As for the other ten or so Mid-tier Spiritual Plants, they continued to provide Yun Ling Dan.
After the spiritual grains sprouted, Little Black became extremely busy, working from dawn until dusk without a moment of rest.
Although the number of pesky spiritual insects had decreased after eliminating one, three acres of land was no small task.
At this moment, Little Black felt a buildup of anger, his gaze filled with longing as he looked into the distance.
Upon seeing Ji Yang sleeping in front of the wooden house, Little Black quickly turned his attention back and continued to tend to the spiritual grains.
When he left, he intended to consume all the spiritual grains!
So, he worked especially hard now!
Ji Yang, lounging in a chair and listening to Little Black, smiled slightly.
Yes, that’s right! Keep it up!
Although he had successfully developed the new Golden Rain Technique, Ji Yang had no plans to use it with such a diligent worker like Little Black around.
So this is what it feels like to be a boss; it’s not too bad.
And Ji Yang only needed to offer some spiritual grains daily. For others, this might be difficult, but Ji Yang had plenty of spiritual grains stored in his wooden house, enough to keep Little Black well-fed for months.
Occasionally, when Ji Yang was in a good mood, he would catch a few Red-tailed Spiritual Fish from the clear pool, grilling one and steaming another.
Originally, Ji Yang didn’t have high expectations for ordinary food, but after trying the taste of Red-tailed Spiritual Fish, he found it quite satisfying; the effect after eating was about equal to a White Light Point +1.
Seeing the fish that were originally meant for him, Little Black gritted his teeth, refusing to speak, but he worked even harder!
On the sixth day after planting the seeds, the harvest was slim, with slightly more White Light Points and Green Light Points, but compared to the previous batch, it was better left unsaid.
There was still only one Blue Light Point.
Ji Yang entered the spiritual field where the spiritual plants were growing, then closed his eyes to feel the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth around him!
Not bad! The spiritual energy absorbed in the past few days had largely recovered, and today he could use his previous method once more to accelerate the growth of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower’s seeds.
During these days, Ji Yang had also tried other spiritual plants to see if they could absorb the spiritual energy like the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower, but unfortunately, they lacked this ability.
Even with Ji Yang actively using his powers, it didn’t work, although it was still clear that their growth was slightly faster than before.
Looking at the seedlings that had sprouted from the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower, Ji Yang activated the Breathing Technique of All Things to connect with them.
Seven-Leaf Soul Flower: I’m afraid I can’t do it.
At this moment, the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower looked lifeless, its words lacking the previous pride.
Noticing this, Ji Yang frowned slightly.
It may not be able to do it, but it must try anyway!
The most important thing was that he could feel the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower’s abundant Vitality and the healthy growth of its seedlings, indicating that the flower was just pretending to be sick again.
To encourage it, Ji Yang kindly placed a Superior Flying Sword beside it, which quickly revived the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower’s spirit.
Seven-Leaf Soul Flower: I suddenly feel full of energy; bring it on, don’t spare me just because I’m a delicate flower!
……
Ji Yang silently clenched his fist, feeling a strong urge to sever the connection to his powers.
After taking two deep breaths, Ji Yang calmed his emotions and began to channel his energy with all his might.
Countless spiritual energy from the heavens and earth once again gathered and flowed into the seedlings of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower.
At that moment, the other spiritual plants also sensed the intense energy fluctuations, waking from their deep slumber and starting to absorb the spiritual energy around them.
However, it was clear that the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower absorbed the energy even faster.
As the spiritual energy surged in, the seedlings of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower grew at a visible rate.
But after just two breaths, Ji Yang cut off his connection, not only because his True Essence was running low, but also because the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower had reached its limit of energy absorption for the day.
Although the method of forcing growth was useful, it could not uproot the entire plant in one day.
After retracting his powers, Ji Yang looked at the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower again.
The once tiny seedling had now developed a sturdy stem and vibrant green leaves, growing remarkably fast.
However, Ji Yang also sensed that the Vitality of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower’s seed was somewhat diminished, which was not unusual. To bloom, it needed to absorb nutrients; after the flowers bloomed, new seeds would naturally follow.
He wondered how long it would take for them to blossom.
Ji Yang’s eyes glimmered with anticipation.
Looking at the other Mid-tier Spiritual Plants nearby, he noticed they had also made considerable progress from the recent influx of energy and would soon reach maturity—quite promising!
When spiritual plants mature, they undergo noticeable changes, like the Blood Dragon Fruit.
When fully ripe, it would bloom and bear fruit. Once the fruit showed a deep red hue, it signified that it was ready for harvest.
If not harvested, the mature Blood Dragon Fruit would fall near the roots, eventually decaying and turning back into nutrients that the roots would absorb.
The Blood Dragon Fruit would then re-enter its growth phase, blooming and bearing fruit again, with the plant itself growing larger over time, producing even better fruits. However, the next harvest would take longer than the first.
Ji Yang only needed to wait for the first maturity period; unless the spiritual plant managed to break through to a higher tier, which required much time.
Similarly, the Thousand Spirit Ginseng also became more potent over time if left unharvested.
However, there were many cultivators in the Cultivation World now, and as the primary material for pills, it was rare to find spiritual plants that could grow for a thousand years. Only large sects had a few precious specimens.
As for Mid-tier Spiritual Plants, they were usually picked as soon as they matured to be made into pills.
The cost of allowing them to continue growing far outweighed the benefit of planting a new one.
Ji Yang pondered how the spiritual herb garden in the sect was doing and thought about checking it out when he had time; it would be even better if he could find some high-tier spiritual plants or supreme spiritual grain seeds.
Feeling the relatively thin spiritual energy around him, it seemed he would have to wait a few more days before he could channel his powers again.
Previously, he had set up a spirit gathering formation using low-grade spiritual stones next to the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower, but now the stones had lost all their energy. Ji Yang directly replaced the stones with the supreme spiritual grain "Golden Fruit" he had harvested, and he was pleasantly surprised by the results.
After absorbing the energy from the grains, it turned into fertilizer.
Looking at the vibrant scene in the spiritual field, Ji Yang couldn’t help but smile.
However, there was a Little Black dog bouncing around in the spiritual field, which felt slightly out of place.
