"Huh??? Mom, our thought processes are different. What you find simple is incredibly difficult for me."
"You'll learn it if you study more."
"Hmph... I don't want to learn. Even if I don't learn, I can still refine pills."
"??? How do you refine it?"
"Hehe..." Zuo Qingya proudly took out a high-grade rare seed.
"Use this to refine it."
Zuo Haijia took the rare seed from Zuo Qingya's hand and examined it. "That's it? How are we going to refine it into an elixir?"
"Mom, this is very simple. Just plant it in the soil and you can grow medicinal pills!"
"What kind of heaven-defying treasure is this that can be used to refine pills like this? It's more like a pill-planting technique!"
"Mom, don't disbelieve me, this really can grow elixirs."
Zuo Qingya then took out a rare intermediate-grade seed, "This can also be used to grow pills, but it requires a lot of spiritual energy to grow them."
Zuo Haijia compared the two rare seeds; one was golden brown, and the other was yellowish brown.
"The golden-brown ones are high-grade rare seeds, and the yellowish-brown ones are medium-grade rare seeds."
"What's the difference between these two seeds? Aren't they both seeds?"
"Of course they're different! One is a mid-grade pill that requires a lot of spiritual energy to grow, while the other is a top-grade pill that only requires a little spiritual energy to grow. What do you think is the difference between these two?"
"Is it that amazing? Can Mom try growing it?"
"Of course!"
"How do we plant it?"
"It's very simple, just bury the seeds in the soil."
Zuo Haijia buried the intermediate-grade rare seed in the soil: "Is this how it is?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Yes, that's how it is. Then, you infuse the seeds in the soil with spiritual energy, imagine the effects or appearance of the elixir, and you can grow the elixir!"
"That simple?"
"Yes."
Zuo Haijia channeled her spiritual energy into the seeds in the soil. In no time, the soil rippled, and a tiny seedling popped out of the ground. From flowering to bearing fruit, it was only a moment, which showed how pure and rich Zuo Haijia's spiritual energy was.
Zuo Haijia looked at the plants in the soil, speechless. How to put it, it was quite novel. Several pills had grown on the tree, but they looked a little different from the pills in her memory. The pills she had imagined were the Purple Cloud Pills, the legendary immortal pills, which were said to greatly increase the immortal energy in a person's body after consumption, making their strength advance by leaps and bounds, and even possibly breaking through the limits of cultivation.
But this Purple Cloud Pill was different from the one in the ancient texts she had read. The Purple Cloud Pill, as its name suggests, was dark purple with golden cloud patterns surrounding its surface. This pill, however, was bright purple with yellow cloud patterns. Could it be a difference in quality?
Zuo Haijia planted another high-grade rare seed, and to her surprise, the pill that grew was exactly the same as the pill recorded in the classic text, and the spiritual energy consumed was negligible.
"It's the Purple Cloud Pill. It would be great if someone could try it." Zuo Haijia glanced at Zuo Qingya and shook her head. This was a celestial pill, only those in the True Immortal Realm could eat it. Eating it now might cause one to explode and die.
At this stage, I can only absorb spiritual energy, but I can't convert immortal energy yet, which is really frustrating.
"Xiaoya, do you still have this seed?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Mom, I have a lot." She then took out two large bowls, one containing intermediate-level rare seeds and the other containing advanced-level rare seeds.
Zuo Haijia thought Zuo Qingya would only have a few pieces, but she didn't expect there to be two big bowls. Zuo Haijia felt like she had struck gold; her daughter was simply a treasure.
Zuo Haijia continued to verify the uses of rare seeds, wanting to plant every elixir she could think of.
"Mom, isn't this seed very useful? It can grow all kinds of elixirs."
Zuo Haijia nodded: "Indeed, it's a very magical seed."
"Mom, you can plant other things with this seed! You can plant anything you can think of!"
"Is it really that magical? Can it grow magical treasures?"
"Uh??? It should be possible, but I've never grown it before."
Zuo Qingya's eyes lit up. "Why don't you give it a try, Mom?"
Zuo Haijia nodded: "Okay."
"Mom, should we use high-grade rare seeds?"
"Um……"
Zuo Haijia buried the high-grade rare seed in the soil and began to infuse it with spiritual energy to promote its growth. Despite watching it many times, Zuo Haijia still found it very magical. Just as the magic weapon was about to take shape, Zuo Haijia suddenly felt that the spiritual energy was insufficient. With a bang, the sapling began to wither slowly until it turned into black ash.
"This...is it a failure?"
"It must be because there wasn't enough spiritual energy, that's why it failed?"
"Mom, what kind of magical treasure do you want to plant?"
"The Phoenix Feather Fan is a fan that, when gently waved, produces the sound of a phoenix spreading its wings and taking flight. The fan surface is decorated with exquisite phoenix patterns, and the fan ribs are made of precious materials. It can be considered both an ornament and a powerful magical artifact, capable of controlling fire and wind elements."
"Judging from the name, it sounds very grand and impressive. It must require a lot of spiritual energy, right?"
"Hmm... The most important material for crafting the Phoenix Feather Fan is the phoenix feather."
"Mom! Are the Four Divine Beasts real? Have you ever seen them?"
"I've seen them, they'll all come out in the future."
"All right!"
"Hehe...Mom, now that I have rare seeds, I don't need to learn alchemy anymore, right?"
Zuo Haijia flicked Zuo Qingya's forehead, saying, "Dream on. When it's time to learn, learn. Don't take shortcuts."
"Huh??? That makes so much sense, I can't argue with it."
Zuo Qingya sighed, "Little bok choy! It's turning yellow in the field..."
Zuo Haijia: "???"
Just then, a deep roar came from the depths of the valley, breaking the silence.
The roar grew closer, and the ground trembled, as if something enormous was approaching.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
Zuo Qingya felt a strong sense of oppression, sensing that some danger was approaching.
Immediately afterward, a massive spirit beast burst forth from the depths of the valley. It was enormous, its body covered in scales, and emanated a powerful aura. Its eyes flashed with a fierce light as it stared intently at them, clearly regarding them as prey. The spirit beast opened its blood-red maw, letting out a deafening roar, and then charged towards them.
Zuo Qingya hurriedly cast a spell, striking the spirit beast. However, the spirit beast's strength far exceeded Zuo Qingya's expectations. Its scales seemed indestructible, and ordinary attacks could not harm it in the slightest.
Just then, Zuo Haijia pointed out, "Attack her neck."
Zuo Qingya understood, "Okay!"
Seizing the opportune moment, it launched a powerful attack on the spirit beast's neck. The spirit beast had no time to dodge and was struck directly in the neck. After a moment's pause, its body crashed heavily to the ground with a thud.
The spirit beast collapsed, and Zuo Qingya dared not go forward to check on it, fearing that the spirit beast might launch a counterattack.
Is he dead?
