Chapter 127 The flowers in the flower field were planted many times...

The flower field has many varieties of flowers, and has been planted in several rounds.

The spiritual plants that can be transformed from ordinary plants are not limited to ordinary plants at the beginning. Li Chang'an was so interested that he wanted to plant all kinds of flowers and plants.

He collected flower and plant seeds from various countries, planted them, and then conjured them into spirits. What netizens bought were various kinds of blind box spirit plants.

Although it's a blind box, the spirit plant itself still retains some of the original plant's characteristics.

Some flowers that only grow in the tropics can be transformed into spiritual plants and delivered to buyers, leaving them both amused and exasperated.

This sparked a wave of online discussion about what the prototype of the spiritual plant was. Some botanical experts even made videos online to answer people's questions. Because their analysis was very accurate, they gained a lot of exposure and hundreds of thousands of followers.

Li Chang'an would occasionally go online to read everyone's guesses and would also give them a thumbs up.

Just as Li Chang'an casually forwarded a popular science article by a botany expert, he saw a private message in the background.

—Another wealthy businessman sent a private message begging for a high-priced custom-made spiritual plant.

Li Chang'an looked at his phone screen, sighed softly, and skillfully opened the other person's profile to block them.

It's not that he doesn't want to make money; in fact, what Li Chang'an wants most is the money from these wealthy businessmen.

After all, they can make a hefty profit, then find a way to distribute it to their employees or donate it, putting the wealthy businessmen's money into circulation. Why not?

However, the demands made by these wealthy businessmen were simply too unreasonable.

Forget about things like prolonging life, restoring the body to its best condition, and maintaining youth forever. Some people actually want to never lose money in business, to make more and more money, or to make their competitors increasingly unlucky.

Some even made some filthy and disgraceful demands.

Do you really think this place is a wishing well for Li Chang'an?

Li Changquan refused them all.

The powerful abilities of spiritual plants can indeed bring convenience to people's lives, such as prolonging life, maintaining youth, and accumulating wealth. However, these all require defying the laws of nature, which Li Chang'an cannot and does not want to do.

Thinking of this, Li Chang'an clicked his tongue impatiently again.

He had already pinned a post on his Weige account, subtly warning those wealthy businessmen to give up on their dreams, as there was no way they could have those unrealistic spiritual plants. Yet, wealthy businessmen still sent him private messages.

Xie Kuling, brushing on barbecue sauce, didn't even look up when he heard the commotion, and asked, "What kind of spiritual plant does this wealthy businessman want this time?"

With nothing to do tonight, Li Chang'an invited the Xie family uncles and nephews, along with the elders of the Qingfeng Sect, to Xuanling Immortal Mountain for a barbecue. The group was currently on the grassland at the foot of Qingyao Mountain and by the Ningjing River, the aroma of barbecue filling the air.

Xie Kuling, Xie Xuan, and Wu Hui were in charge of the barbecue, while the others were catching shrimp and fish in the river. They didn't use their spiritual power; they just rolled up their trousers and stood in the shallow water, holding sharpened fishing sticks, ready to go.

Xie Kuling and the others had all heard about Li Chang'an receiving private messages from many people ordering spirit plants with all sorts of weird functions.

He wanted a lucky plant that could bring him more and more wealth.

After Li Chang'an finished speaking, he chuckled and said, "This guy is quite generous, asking for ten million, but it's really impossible for me to do it."

Wealth is something that cannot be interfered with. If such spiritual plants could be cultivated, then everyone in the world could become rich. However, wealth is relative, and it is impossible for there to be only "rich" and no "poor".

Tea Spirit, who had been listening to the conversation, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "He can afford to spend ten million to customize a spirit plant, which means he's not short of money. Why does he need a spirit plant to protect him?"

“You can never have too much money,” Li Chang’an said. “If there’s an opportunity to earn more and more, I think most people would seize it.”

Tea Essence opened its mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

"Human desires are endless. Once you have a little, you'll want more. Cultivators are the ones who need to restrain these desires," Wu Hui interjected in a deep voice, adjusting the heat of the barbecue grill with his magic.

As the meat and vegetables on the grill gradually cooked, Xie Kuling took a brush, dipped it in the prepared honey sauce, and brushed it onto the chicken wings.

The honey is made from ordinary honey produced by Wenwen bees.

After having beehives, Wenwen's bees began making honey. They could fill a regular honey hive in about seven days. However, the production of Baihualing honey was complicated, and not much of it had been produced yet.

Li Chang'an collected the ordinary honey but didn't intend to sell it; he kept it all for his own family.

Honey mixed with a little warm water, along with seasonings such as soy sauce and oyster sauce, creates a very harmonious flavor.

Soon, bubbles began to appear on the surface of the chicken wings, and the color gradually turned into a beautiful amber. A sweet, caramelized aroma filled the air.

One chicken wing after another was grilled, and the elders who were fishing and catching shrimp in the river couldn't resist coming out of the water and walking to the barbecue grill. Each of them used chopsticks to pick up most of the chicken wings on the grill.

The chicken wings have a crispy skin, while the meat inside is still quite tender. One bite, and a slightly sweet flavor spreads across your tongue, followed by a savory and salty taste, creating a rich and complex flavor. If you brush on a layer of chili sauce and grill it for a while, then sprinkle some chili powder on top, it becomes a sweet and spicy flavor that you'll want to keep eating.

"These honey-glazed chicken wings are so delicious! Mountain Lord, Second Elder, don't work too hard or stay idle. I want more. Grill some more."

The second elder mentioned by this elder is Wu Hui.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hui kicked him and laughed, "You haven't even caught any fish or shrimp, and you're already thinking about eating. Don't wait until all the ingredients are gone and there's still no sign of fish or shrimp."

"Hehe," the elder chuckled, "I'll eat a little more and then go fishing. I need to be full to have the energy to keep fishing for fish and shrimp!"

The group joked and played around while the other meats and vegetables on the barbecue grill were also cooked.

After eating for a while, the elders of the Qingfeng Sect returned to the river after a new batch of ingredients was placed on the barbecue grill.

It's still quite difficult to catch fish at night without using spiritual power. Someone started it, and a red magical beam shot into the river. In an instant, several plump grass carp flew out and landed on the bank, thrashing about.

"Mountain Lord, Second Elder, the fish are served!" an elder shouted.

Xie Kuling smiled and shook his head slightly, then stepped forward and picked up the fish.

Li Chang'an helped clean and prepare the fish, and then marinated them with the prepared marinade.

As this person began to use spiritual power, many more lights shone along the Ningjing River. The spells danced and swirled on the river surface like fireflies, illuminating the dark surroundings and the water's surface. There was no aggression or killing intent; the spells were like a magnificent performance unfolding on the water's surface.

Fish caught by magic from the river can be eaten after marinating in marinade for half an hour.

Just then, Li Chang'an had almost finished eating the other ingredients he had prepared, so they cleaned up the barbecue grill and started grilling fish.

The lively night passed by amidst the aroma of barbecue.

The following day, Li Chang'an went to the lake on Qingyao Mountain to check on the condition of the spotted black shellfish.

These colorful black clams have been kept in the lake for several months, and Li Chang'an comes to check on them from time to time.

The variegated black clam feeds on algae and aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the lake. They have very high requirements for water quality, so Li Chang'an would occasionally sprinkle the scales of the variegated loach into this lake.

In addition, he placed a water spirit into the lake to increase the spiritual energy in the water.

Now that he has four kinds of spiritual essence, planting immortal rice is no longer so urgent, which frees up a water essence for the lake.

With improved lake water quality and abundant spiritual energy, the colorful black oysters have even begun to use their spiritual power to condense pearls.

When Li Chang'an used his spiritual power to detect it, he was somewhat surprised.

There were more than twenty variegated black oysters when they were first unsealed, and now each variegated black oyster has produced about ten pearls.

Moreover, the variegated mollusks are also reproducing, and it is estimated that in a while, there will be many more small variegated mollusks in this lake.

Li Chang'an suppressed his surprise, left Qingyao Mountain, returned home, and sent a message to Yuheng, asking for the contact information of the Yuxue Palace sect in Li Kingdom.

Yuheng asked with some confusion, "What business do you have with Jade Snow Palace?"

Aside from the Qingfeng Sect, Li Chang'an usually didn't have any contact with other cultivation sects. This was the first time Yuheng had seen him asking him for contact information of other sects.

“I remember that Yuxue Palace mainly makes a living by producing health and beauty elixirs and skin care products. I happen to have some raw materials with related functions here. I’d like to ask them if they need them.”

When the Qingfeng Sect held its cultivation competition, he learned more about the characteristics of other sects.

The pearls from the colorful black shells, the black jade snails, and the black jade algae from the Leisure Pool all have health-preserving and beauty-enhancing effects, making them perfect for the Jade Snow Palace.

Xianshan Farm's business scope is mainly agricultural and sideline products. If Li Chang'an were to make health and beauty products himself, he would need to apply for a separate business license and buy the relevant equipment.

It would be better to sell the raw materials directly to the experienced Yuxue Palace. Besides, over the years, the elixirs and medicines from Yuxue Palace have generally received positive reviews online.

"Alright, then I'll ask the Palace Master of Jade Snow Palace for you."

Yuheng hung up the phone and quickly sent a message to the Palace Master of Yuxue Palace.

When the other party heard that Li Chang'an wanted to sell them raw materials, they immediately agreed.

Products from Xianshan are always top-notch; not seizing this opportunity would be a sign of a lack of intelligence!

Jade Snow Palace is not a very large sect. Apart from the Palace Master and three elders who are at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the other elders are only at the early-Foundation Establishment stage.

The elders were so excited that they could hardly speak, never expecting that Li Chang'an would cooperate with their sect.

Seeing that the palace master readily agreed, Yuheng sent her phone number to Li Chang'an.

The cooperation talks went very smoothly. The Palace Master of Jade Snow Palace and several elders bought plane tickets and arrived outside Xuanling Immortal Mountain a day later.

The pearls from the variegated black shells were not yet large enough to be harvested, but the Palace Master of Jade Snow Palace could detect them with her spiritual power and instantly understand how valuable they were.

There's also the slime from the Jade Snail; the Red Thorn Gang has been collecting it diligently over this period, accumulating several bottles.

After seeing the pearls and the slime, the people of Jade Snow Palace went to see the Black Jade Algae, and were once again speechless with astonishment.

“There is a large quantity of black jade algae, and we can supply some to you right now,” Li Chang’an said.

The palace master suppressed his surprise and said, "These spiritual items are all very good. With the strength of the Jade Snow Palace disciples, I'm afraid they can't refine pills of a very high grade."

After speaking, a hint of regret appeared in the Palace Master's eyes.

Several elders beside her also appeared somewhat downcast.

They were very excited before they came, but when they saw these spiritual creatures in person, they were more worried than happy. They were concerned that their cultivation was not high enough and they would not be able to fully utilize the power of these spiritual creatures.

Li Chang'an didn't mind at all: "If it's a high-grade pill, ordinary people can't use it. Just make it according to the standard of the pills you usually refine."

The higher the grade of the elixir, the more powerful its effects. It requires spiritual energy to assist in the conversion of these effects during absorption, which means that ordinary people without spiritual roots cannot take it.

It would be better to refine some low-grade pills so that everyone can use them, and the production volume would be higher, allowing more people to buy them.

Upon hearing this, the Palace Master of Jade Snow Palace became somewhat more excited.

"Since you put it that way, then we will not hesitate any longer. The entire Jade Snow Palace will certainly do its best to make good use of these spiritual items and live up to your expectations."

"This black jade algae is of a higher grade than the colorful black shell pearl and the black jade snail mucus, and has a higher spiritual energy content. I think a little bit of it will be enough to mix with other ordinary materials to make a hair-nourishing shampoo powder."

"Or it can be made into an edible medicinal powder with black sesame seeds, walnuts, and the like."

The elders were also excited and began to share their ideas, discussing how to use the pearls of the variegated black clam and the mucus of the black jade snail.

Seeing that they had shaken off their earlier gloom and become enthusiastic, Li Chang'an was also quite pleased.

It seems that the decision to supply these materials to the Jade Snow Palace was the right one.

Li Chang'an then signed a contract with Yuxue Palace and temporarily supplied them with ten grams of black jade algae.

Two weeks later, Li Chang'an received the samples sent by Yuxue Palace.

It was a shampoo powder containing only a small amount of black algae, along with many other medicinal herbs. The powder was entirely black, and when mixed with a little warm water, it would turn into a silky mud-like consistency. When applied to wet hair and rubbed in, it would produce some lather after a few rubs.

The powder has almost no smell. After washing my hair with it, my scalp feels refreshed and my hair is bouncy.

Aside from that, Li Chang'an couldn't sense any further effects.

The other members of the immortal mountain also tried the powder, and the white fox spirit gave it high praise.

It took a bath with the medicinal powder, and its fur became fluffy and flowing after being dried with spiritual power, making the entire fox fluffy and white.

"It works so well! It's great for conditioning hair! If you add some floral essential oils, it will smell wonderful!" The white fox spirit flicked her fluffy half-tail ball, her voice filled with joy.

Both the Golden Beard and the Black Bear Spirit affirmed this effect.

With the feedback from the spirits, Li Chang'an felt reassured and replied to the Palace Master of Jade Snow Palace, indicating that he would just follow the recipe.

Afterwards, he collected more black jade algae and asked the spirit kite to help deliver it to the Jade Snow Palace.

During this period, Li Chang'an and the flower spirits also experimented with the propagation and cultivation of black jade algae.

The black jade algae has some rhizoids under the soil at the bottom of the water. After absorbing spiritual energy, the rhizoids will grow many feather-like black "leaves".

These black "leaves" are 15 centimeters long and look fuzzy when they sway and shake in the water.

It takes a year for the rhizoid to grow a 15-centimeter-long "leaf".

The blue area of ​​Xiaoyao Pond covers thousands of acres, and the black jade algae inside is expected to yield 2,000 catties.

To ensure sustainable development, Li Chang'an can only supply a maximum of 160 jin (80 catties) to Yuxue Palace each month.

This time he supplied 160 jin (80 catties).

After obtaining these black jade algae, Yuxue Palace quickly produced hundreds of thousands of kilograms of shampoo powder, which was then put on the market for sale after passing testing.

The medicinal powder made from black jade algae is called Black Jade Powder, priced at 168 yuan for 50 grams. Before that, Yuxue Palace had a regular hair care shampoo powder priced at 88 yuan for 200 grams.

Therefore, the price of black jade powder surprised regular customers.

The previous shampoo powder, if you have very long hair, you need to use about ten grams per wash, and it will be used up after a dozen or so washes.

If the black jade powder is like this, then people with very long hair will only have enough for three or four washes.

However, all doubts were dispelled when I saw the source of the raw materials in the detailed introduction of the black jade powder.

[The raw material is actually black algae from Xianshan Farm! I don't know why, but suddenly the price seems reasonable.]

[Jade Snow Palace is doing well; they've even managed to partner with Immortal Mountain Farm. It can't be fake, right?]

It's true, Li Chang'an shared the promotional material for Yuxue Palace's new products.

[What?! Li Chang'an retweeted it?! Oh no, it seems like the difficulty of buying this new product has increased dramatically!]

[Your feeling is right. This time, we're competing with the entire Cangxuan Realm for resources, making them even harder to snatch than vegetables from the Immortal Mountain Farm!]

[Speaking of which, when will the vegetables from Xianshan Farm be available in our countries? I'm so envious of the people in Xia Country.]

[How about Jade Snow Palace restricts purchases to only people from our Li Kingdom? Let people from other countries envy us.]

However, restricting purchases to specific regions is unlikely.

That evening, the black jade powder from Yuxue Palace sold out as soon as it hit the shelves, and Yuxue Palace's official account said that the next batch of black jade powder would be available in a month.

This is even slower than the vegetables from the Immortal Mountain Farm being put on the shelves, and the quantity is also smaller. With billions of people in the Cangxuan Realm, there simply aren't enough to go around.

A few days later, feedback from the black jade powder users began to appear online.

The black jade powder works very well. Even using only 50 grams can make your hair much better after washing. Not only will it stop falling out, but it will also make your hair blacker and thicker.

One netizen said a month later that she only managed to snag the Black Jade Powder once, and even after she stopped using it, her hair quality didn't return to what it was before; it remained as good as it was while she was using the Black Jade Powder.

Other netizens who had also purchased the product echoed this sentiment.

This made other netizens happy.

Although the quantity is small and not enough to grab, those who have used it don't need to buy it again, so one day it will be their turn to buy it, right?

The Jade Snow Palace's reputation grew along with the black jade powder, and newly awakened spiritual roots even wanted to join the sect, much to the delight of the Palace Master and several elders.

Less than two months later, Li Chang'an gave Yuxue Palace a small bottle of Xuanyu Snail Mucus, waiting for them to make a suitable sample.

Since unsealing the Jade Snails, Li Chang'an has frequently fed them spiritual vegetables. Now, he has collected a lot of the Jade Snails' mucus, and the Jade Snails have even begun to lay eggs and reproduce. These eggs only need three months to hatch, after which there will be even more mucus.

Upon receiving the mucus, Yuxue Palace immediately began researching products and eventually created a scar removal cream. The effect was still very good; only one milliliter of Xuanyu Snail mucus was needed to make one hundred milliliters of the scar removal cream.

Li Chang'an has already collected several 500ml bottles of Xuan Yu Snail mucus, which is more than enough to supply the Jade Snow Palace.

Xuan Yu Scar Removal Cream was launched on the market.

Jade Snow Palace did indeed keep the promise made by the palace master at the time, strictly controlling the quality of its products and preventing them from tarnishing the reputation of Immortal Mountain Farm.

The collaboration went exceptionally smoothly.

That night, Li Chang'an and Tianxuan meditated and cultivated among the Earth Star Plum blossoms on Qingyao Mountain.

Among all the members of Xuanling Immortal Mountain, the two of them had the lowest cultivation level, so they would come here every night to meditate and cultivate.

Occasionally, Li Chang'an would invite Xie Kuling and Xie Xuan, but they couldn't come tonight because they had something to do.

When the moon reached its zenith, Li Chang'an stopped meditating and sat on a rock, overlooking the entire blessed land.

The Xuanling Immortal Mountain was very peaceful at night. From here, he could see the glow of the sunset flowers, the lanterns on the covered bridge over the river, the colorful lights on the walls of his house, and the warm lights in his house.

Noticing that he had been lost in thought for a long time, Tianxuan stopped circulating her spiritual energy and opened her eyes to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Li Chang'an smiled and said, "It's nothing."

He was simply thinking that while they had grown accustomed to the scenery of Xuanling Immortal Mountain, there were still many people who had never seen it before.

Li Chang'an recalled that a few years ago he had promised the team that developed the Xianshan Farm mobile app that he would consider opening it to tourism.

After a long while, the full moon in the sky became even brighter. Li Chang'an got up and waved to Xuewei, who was sleeping with her tail embracing her not far away: "Senior, we'll go back first."

Sometimes he would cultivate here all night, but other times he would relax and go home around midnight to lie on his comfortable bed and have a normal sleep.

Tianxuan also stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xuewei.

Snowtail opened its eyes, raised its tail, and waved it at the two of them in the air.

Instead of flying home on their swords, the two leisurely walked across Qingyao Mountain and arrived at Jiarong Mountain, where they prepared to cross the covered bridge to go home.

As Li Chang'an passed by the fruit tree slope, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.

He stopped and looked up at the slope. He saw that the leaves of the spirit fruit tree were moving without wind, and thousands of petals were falling from the tree. Instead of falling to the ground, they swirled and rose in the moonlight and gradually disappeared in the air.

Li Chang'an was momentarily stunned by what he saw.
