Chapter 333 The Green Deer That Knows How to Farm

Ji An scratched his head. He could understand that fire represented warmth and vitality, but what did he mean by passionate Dharma?

Do spiritual plants need this kind of 'energy'? Wouldn't this be considered giving spiritual plants a shot of adrenaline?

No, it should be called giving people feel-good platitudes.

The phantom of the spirit fire burned, and the ground, which was originally black with fish-scale patterns, was reflected as red scales.

The flames suddenly intensified, the crimson spirit flames radiating golden light, like the red sunrise suddenly transforming into the golden midday sun.

At the same time, the phantom of the God of Fire in the sky burst apart, transforming into countless golden sparks that merged into the spiritual plants.

The fiery and surging power of the Zhurong Divine Fire Spell can also last for four days, but most of its aftereffects remain within the spiritual plants and are not revealed to the outside.

The light and flame disappeared, and Ji An changed the hand seals in his hands, releasing the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Technique.

The earth pulsed as if a creature were moving through it, the earth's energy was being processed, and the spiritual energy hidden deep underground and the spiritual energy on the surface were exchanged.

A warm, yellow spiritual light shone on the black soil, nourishing and spreading the Dharma's essence.

Ji An realized the divine meaning of "great virtue carries all things" and "being nurtured by all people".

He flew on a cloud to the Tianyuan Pear Garden. Among the twenty spirit trees, six were of the second-tier middle grade, and the rest were of the lower grade.

When he opens up the Water Elemental Divine Palace, he will definitely have enough second-tier mid-grade spiritual fruits to use.

Ji An first unleashed his newly comprehended Azure Dragon Awakening Technique, its burgeoning magical power spreading outwards.

While the original spell could promote the growth of spiritual plants, it would waste some of the plants' own energy, as the remaining wood elemental energy would be nourished by the water elemental source power.

He then unleashed the Cloud Dragon Rain Technique, riding the clouds to fly towards the Wood Spirit Plant Garden, hovering above the tea trees to begin casting the spell.

The Azure Dragon Awakening Technique at the Great Perfection level began to exert its power. After five years of cultivation, all the Azure Dragon Wood was upgraded to the second-tier mid-grade.

The number of medium-grade 'Feiye' mulberry trees is 685, while the number of low-grade 'Feiye' mulberry trees is an astonishing 3952.

Currently, the spirit silkworms in the Beast Taming Hall are not enough to consume so many second-tier mulberry leaves, so they are increasing their efforts to cultivate more high-tier spirit silkworms.

In the words of Wu Yan, the master of the Beast Taming Hall of Luoyan Mountain, "We've never been this wealthy!"

How could they not be wealthy? The number of second-tier Jade Leaf Mulberry trees in Crimson Flame Peak already exceeds the total number in all other regions combined.

Spirit mulberry is not the most important spiritual plant. The sect's higher-level spiritual fields are used to grow spiritual medicinal materials for refining late-stage Foundation Establishment and Origin Refining pills.

In the spirit field, there are 472 mid-grade second-tier Biluo trees and 2016 low-grade spirit trees.

This also resulted in overproduction, as the sect's Beast Taming Hall was unable to consume so many spiritual fruits.

Ji An has now given his senior brother Du Huaiyuan a task: to brew a new type of spirit wine using Biluo fruit as the raw material.

He gave the other party three hundred second-tier Biluo fruits, but so far he has not achieved any results.

However, Senior Brother Du was full of confidence, patting his chest and saying that he could definitely brew Biluo fruit wine, it just would take a little bit more time.

Fiery red clouds soared through the sky, accompanied by a downpour of spiritual rain, as Ji An completed the spell on five hundred acres of spiritual fields.

The glistening raindrops pattered on the green leaves, like countless hands plucking the strings of a musical instrument, playing an ethereal melody.

Listening to the rain in a calm mind, one feels the nourishment of all things; beneath this sound lies a tranquil sense of time standing still.

Ji An arrived at the Crimson Cloud Pine Forest, where dazzling red spiritual light was rising, and released the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique, the Zhu Rong Divine Fire Spell, and the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique in turn.

Currently, there are 246 second-grade medium-quality red pine trees in the forest, and the remaining 254 trees are second-grade low-quality.

Ji An flew in a circle above the pine forest, like a lion king surveying his territory, before finally landing next to the fire crystal ant nest.

He used a hand seal to break the magical barrier and passed through the passage into the lava pool.

A half-zhang-long azure dragon roared, and a sky full of azure light brought greenery to the red world.

The vibrant growth of the Dharma permeates the air, and the lotus leaves of the emerald leaves and red lotus shine with spiritual light, appearing even greener and automatically absorbing the brilliance of the blue light.

The fiery red veins on the lotus seedpod shimmered like flowing fire, making it exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

On the bark of the nameless precious plant, the pale golden feather-like patterns suddenly shone with spiritual light, and the emerald green leaves were as clear as jade, as if they had been washed with water.

Wood generates fire, and the wood element's spiritual energy can enhance the fire element's essence in spiritual plants.

This precious plant is now over four feet tall and as thick as an arm. If you get close to it, you can hear a sound that seems to be birdsong.

However, once outside three feet of Baozhi, the sound disappeared without a trace.

Ji An's opinion of Bao Zhi rose even higher, and he decided that once the cultivators from the Central Continent arrived in the Western Continent again, he would do everything he could to purchase the jade slip containing information about Bao Zhi.

He felt like a beggar who possessed a treasure, knowing the wonders of the spiritual plant but not knowing how to use it, which was quite frustrating.

After the lush greenery disappeared, Ji An activated the Zhu Rong Divine Fire Incantation.

The phantom of the God of Fire appeared above the lava pool, and the crimson flames added to the brightness of the lava pool. Immediately, the Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame appeared on the lotus seedpod.

It seems they've developed a tacit understanding: whenever Ji An releases the Zhu Rong Divine Fire Spell, it will inevitably appear.

This ball of celestial fire is now the size of a fist, with three distinct layers of intense, blazing flames.

Strands of fire-elemental spiritual light seeped into the spiritual fire, causing the flames to flicker and dance like a mischievous child.

The crimson flames transformed into golden flames, and the phantom of the Fire God exploded into a sky full of golden stars.

A miraculous scene unfolded: the golden flames and golden light split in two, with the Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame and the Nameless Treasure Plant each attracting a portion.

The feather-like patterns on the bark of the precious plant became even brighter, and the Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame disappeared in an instant after consuming the golden flame.

Ji An released the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique, and the profound and nourishing magical intent permeated the magma pool, with yellow spiritual light covering it.

He left the underground cave and flew towards the Copper-Patterned Mulberry Field.

At this moment, the bright moon rises in the east, its cool light reflecting off one's eyebrows and hair.

Because only the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique can work on Copper Pattern Mulberry and Mysterious Leaf Sword Bamboo, the density of second-tier spiritual plants in this spiritual field is far lower than that in the spiritual fields near the Cold Pool.

There are only 756 second-grade low-quality bronze-patterned mulberry trees and only 50 mid-grade spirit mulberry trees, a huge difference.

There are 240 low-grade second-tier Xuan Ye Jian Zhu plants and 80 mid-grade Jian Zhu plants.

The number of mid-grade sword bamboo in Crimson Flame Peak is now only 26 fewer than in the sect's medicine garden.

Despite having so many second-tier sword bamboos, it's still not enough for the sect's weapon refiners to use.

Fortunately, all fifty acres of newly cultivated spirit fields were planted with Xuan Ye Sword Bamboo. In a few years, more second-tier spirit bamboo will be cultivated.

By then, it should be able to meet the needs of the sect's weapon refiners.

There are only about twenty or thirty weapon refiners capable of crafting top-grade magical artifacts and spiritual weapons.

Ji An first released the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique, followed by the Azure Dragon Awakening Insect Technique.

The Azure Dragon roared in the sky, and a vibrant aura spread throughout the spiritual field, but not a trace of wood-elemental spiritual energy appeared.

The leaves of the spiritual plant swayed, emitting a clear, metallic sound, like joyful applause.

The effectiveness of the new Azure Dragon Awakening Technique remains to be seen and will require time to prove.

"Grow up quickly!"

After Ji An finished casting the spell on the mulberry field, he rode a fiery red auspicious cloud over the mulberry field, through the Xuan Yang Wood Forest, and landed beside the underground cave.

The sound of Big Yellow snoring echoed from a cave not far away. This rock-armored bear was already a fourth-level Foundation Establishment demon beast, at the same level as its elder brother, Golden Fur.

With various high-grade spiritual fruits and ample meat, the earth-grade bloodline demon beasts improve at an astonishing rate.

In a few years, it will become the one with the highest cultivation level among all the beast tamers.

It's unclear how long Dahuang can maintain its number one position, as Qinglu has already advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The bloodline of the Azure Deer is purer than that of the Rhubarb. In addition, the Crimson Flame Peak has the most high-level wood-elemental spiritual plants. With one Biluo Fruit a day without interruption, the Azure Deer has already reached the third level of Foundation Establishment.

This green deer can now cast entanglement spells, but the range is very large, enough to cover a radius of three zhang.

While not as effective as the "seeing enemies everywhere" spell, it can be considered an enhanced version of the group entanglement technique.

The green deer could also unleash spells similar to the Jade Wood Transformation Technique, which delighted Ji An.

If he leaves Crimson Flame Peak in the future, he can leave Green Deer at home to do chores!

Its magic has reached the minor completion level of the Azure Wood Transformation Technique, and its power continues to increase as its cultivation level improves. It can take care of wood-type and fire-type spiritual plants, which is equivalent to having a Foundation Establishment stage spiritual farmer in Crimson Flame Peak.

Ji An used Earth Escape Technique twice in succession to reach the bottom of the cave and appeared next to the Soul Nourishing Wood.

The Soul-Nourishing Tree is now nearly six feet tall, as thick as a calf, with many branches and very dense leaves that emit a faint glow.

Several months ago, it was cultivated to the first-tier top-grade level, which is why it was able to display its extraordinary abilities.

However, even the finest branches and trunks are useless to Ji An.

"Squeak!"

The golden retriever darted to the Soul-Nourishing Tree, its fluffy fur shimmering in the moonlight.

Ji An took out a low-grade Earth Spirit Fruit from his storage bag and tossed it to his beast tamer:

"You remember exactly when we can eat the spirit fruit!"

"Squeak, squeak," the golden retriever straightened up and quickly devoured the fruit with its front paws.

It held up the fruit pit, and Ji An took it and put it back into his storage bag.

He placed his hand on the Soul-Nourishing Wood, extending his divine sense to sense its vitality, and then released the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Vitality Technique and the Azure Dragon Awakening Insect Technique.

A blue dragon appeared, its roar echoing in the small space, and the burgeoning power of the Dharma spread out, like being bathed in spring sunshine.

"Squeak!"

The golden retriever suddenly straightened up, baring its teeth and roaring at the blue dragon.

When it first saw the Azure Dragon, it thought the flying creature had invaded its territory.

Ji An smiled and squatted down to stroke the ruffled beast.

"This is a shadow created by my magic; it just looks real."

Two breaths later, the golden retriever saw the Azure Dragon disappear and stared blankly back at its master.

'That scared the mouse to death!'

Ji An placed his hand on the Soul-Nourishing Wood again. He felt that the life force of the spiritual plant had become much more active, and the magic intent of the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique had come into play.

He nodded in satisfaction and whispered:

"Grow up quickly, I need it urgently."

Only by increasing the strength of his divine soul more quickly can he consume more fire element energy and open up the earth element divine palace more rapidly.

His requirements are not high; it would be sufficient to cultivate it to the second tier.
