Chapter 53: Fifth Level of Qi Refining
The first batch of spiritual plants planted in the courtyard were eaten by moles, and dozens of them were lost.
Later, I got the spirit seeds and replanted them, and their growth progress was different from that of most other spirit plants.
It is these fifty-six Huiling herbs that are about to mature.
Su Qingwu estimated that there would be a harvest in nine days.
These spiritual plants have all been watered by the stone bottles, and will be able to receive rewards for their cultivation.
For a moment, she felt a little more expectant.
After stopping the spell, Su Qingwu took out a soul-returning talisman and activated it to recover the spiritual power that had been mostly consumed, and then hurried all the way to the Spirit Array Peak.
After stepping onto the teleportation array, they arrived back on Bailing Island in a short moment.
Everything is normal here, nothing happened.
Su Qingwu walked to the spiritual field area that he was in charge of, made hand gestures, and performed the Small Spirit Rain Technique.
The drizzle continues to fall, nourishing the spiritual plants.
While casting the spell, she began to think about the Jade Mirror space.
Although only ten acres of spiritual fields have been reclaimed so far, it is still possible to sow seeds first. However, there are no extra spiritual seeds on hand, so you have to go to the market to buy some.
Fortunately, I have enough spirit stones now, so I don't have to worry about this...
......
After five incense sticks, we arrived at Aoki Market.
Su Qingwu came to a business that specialized in selling spirit seeds. As soon as she stepped into the pavilion, a servant came forward to greet her.
She spoke briefly and made clear her purpose.
Taking the growth cycle into consideration, she decided to first purchase a batch of black rice seeds that would mature in half a year.
The planting density of cereal spiritual plants can be relatively large, but not too dense. In short, it is impossible to plant tens of thousands of plants on one acre like in ordinary Valley.
When black-stalked rice matures, it is nearly half a person's height, and about 3,000 plants can be planted in one acre.
Su Qingwu reclaimed ten acres of spiritual farmland, and bought thirty thousand spiritual seeds, spending three hundred spiritual stones.
The space of the Jade Purity Mirror is extremely vast, and the ten acres of spiritual fields can only be regarded as a corner of it.
After returning, the reclamation of spiritual fields will continue.
In order to avoid frequent trips to the market, she purchased some additional spiritual seeds, all of which were grain-based spiritual plants that could mature in half a year.
For example, white corn, red beans, purple taro, tricolor potatoes...
These spiritual plants have slightly different growth habits, and due to their own sizes, the number of plants that can be planted per acre is also different.
Su Qingwu purchased a total of 100,000 spirit seeds of four types, spending 1,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After leaving the market, she immediately returned to the sect's Cuimu Peak and went to the Yuqing Mirror space.
It would take a long time for her to plant the ten mu of spiritual fields alone.
After a busy whole day, with the help of the art of protecting animals, I managed to plant one and a half acres of crops.
Su Qingwu rushed to Bailing Island at sunset, cast a spell to water the corresponding spiritual plants, and then immediately returned to continue sowing spiritual seeds in the space...
Time passes day by day, from morning to night, it is busy all the time.
But she didn't feel tired, instead she enjoyed it.
On the morning of the eighth day, Su Qingwu went to Bailing Island as usual and found that all the spiritual plants in the spiritual field he was in charge of had matured.
She squatted down and started harvesting the spiritual plants one by one, starting with the ones watered by the mysterious stone bottle.
Every time a plant is pulled up, a rich spiritual energy surges from the palm of the right hand that touches the spiritual plant to the meridians of the whole body.
By the time all of them were harvested, the fifth cyclone of spiritual energy in Dantian was in a state of being about to condense, which was a sign of an imminent breakthrough.
Su Qingwu quickly put the spiritual plants into the storage bag and left Bailing Island.
After returning to the bluestone courtyard at Cuimu Peak, I walked into the wooden house and immediately sat on the cushion with my eyes closed in meditation.
As his spiritual energy continued to circulate, the cyclone in his dantian that was about to condense gradually became stable.
This process lasted for about sixty breaths, and the cyclone was completely condensed.
Su Qingwu's cultivation successfully broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining!
Of course, due to the Tongxuan Zhenxi Jue, the aura revealed externally was still at the third level of Lianqi.
She continued to meditate for a while to consolidate her state of mind, then walked out of the wooden house again and headed towards Heyun Peak to hand over this mission.
......
After a cup of tea, we arrived at Ming'an Hall.
Su Qingwu walked into the hall, bowed to each of the three deacons who were stationed there, and then handed over a storage bag and placed it on the designated wooden table.
Steward Zhang, who was closest to the scene, reached out and picked up the palm-sized bag. He checked it with his consciousness and a hint of surprise appeared on his expressionless face.
"This... Junior Brother Su, is it all the proceeds from the mission on Bailing Island?"
"Reporting to the deacon, it is indeed so."
"This, this, this... the spiritual plants that can be harvested in the near future should be those that are half-dead. How can there be so many perfect and excellent plants?"
Upon hearing this, the other two stewards also stood up and walked to Steward Zhang's side.
After checking it out, I was also surprised.
Steward Yang's expression was exactly the same as Steward Zhang's.
Du Xinzhi was a little better. After the initial surprise, she quickly came to her senses and looked at the calm black-clothed girl, saying softly:
"During this mission, we harvested 1,624 spiritual plants, including 89 perfect plants, 560 excellent plants, and the rest were ordinary. Because of the outstanding completion of the mission, you can get 1,000 contribution points."
This amount of reward exceeded Su Qingwu's original expectation, and a smile appeared on her face immediately.
"Thank you, Uncle Master."
After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves lightly, and a purple, fist-sized tribute stone immediately appeared in front of her.
Upon seeing this, Du Xinzhi immediately made a hand gesture and sent out a ray of spiritual light that fell into the purple jade.
The original 139 contribution points turned into 1,139 in an instant.
The mission was handed over smoothly. Su Qingwu did not stay long. He bowed to the three deacons again and then left Ming'an Hall.
Looking at her leaving figure, the three of them felt a little emotional.
"We can't even dream of such a talent for planting. The young are truly formidable!"
“In time, perhaps the achievements will be immeasurable.”
"If her cultivation progress can be faster, she will be a rare genius in the world and will break the ancient theory of spiritual roots and natural talents!"
Du Xinzhi heard this and corrected it.
"Junior Brother Zhang, she has been in the sect for a few months and has advanced from a mortal to the third level of Qi Refining. This is rare to see."
"That being said, I heard from Junior Brother Su that my promotion was just a sudden enlightenment. This kind of opportunity is rare and doesn't come around every time."
Du Xinzhi didn't think so, but she didn't say much.
She always had a feeling that Su Qingwu's strength was not as simple as it seemed.
Maybe... in the near future, this person's strength will surpass them and leave his peers far behind...
......
Su Qingwu was unaware of the discussion of the three deacons. At this moment, she had returned to the bluestone courtyard on Cuimu Peak.
In the nearly one-acre spiritual field, fifty-six spiritual grasses are about to mature.
She looked carefully and found that one of them was slightly different from the others.
The leaves of normal Huilingcao are light blue, fan-shaped, and about the size of a palm. This one has the same shape but a lighter color.
She told Su Wen about her discovery, and the two discussed for a long time, but could not come to any conclusion...
By the next morning, all fifty-six spiritual plants had matured and were of perfect quality.
Out of curiosity, Su Qingwu was the first to pull up the Huiling grass that was different from the others.
At this moment, a spiritual energy that was ten times more concentrated than before instantly surged from the palm of his right hand into the meridians of his whole body...
