"Master, Master, you are out!"

Seeing Huang Long coming out of the room, Bai Mi hurried over with his short legs.

She took out a spiritual fruit from her sleeve and rubbed it gently with her hands, as if trying to wipe off the non-existent dust on it.

"Master, this is the Poria cocos fruit that was just picked a few years ago. It tastes delicious."

Poria cocos fruit is the fruit of the top-grade acquired spiritual root - Poria cocos.

The ground Poria cocos blooms once every three hundred years and bears fruit once every eight hundred years, each time producing nine fruits, which take another two hundred years to mature.

After taking the ripe Poria cocos fruit, it can enhance the practitioner's understanding of the earth and the way of earth, and increase the strength of the physical body.

All together, it takes 1,300 years for it to mature.

It can be said that it is an extremely luxurious behavior for Bai Mi to eat Poria cocos fruit as a snack.

However, who made Baimi his own mount? What's wrong with eating some acquired spiritual fruit? How could Huanglong blame him?

"Has anything happened on Yunmeng Fairy Island in recent years?"

Huang Long took the Poria cocos fruit from Bai Mi, took a bite, and asked casually.

Originally, this was just a casual question from him. With the protection of the mirage illusion, ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals would find it difficult to find any trace of Yunmeng Fairy Island.

In addition, during the years that Huang Long was in seclusion, Bai Mi never looked for him, which also means that there was no foreign invasion.

What he didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Bai Mi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes. During the five thousand years that the master was in seclusion, I picked a lot of spiritual fruits."

As he spoke, Bai Mi kept taking out various spiritual fruits and tea leaves from his sleeves and piling them on the ground into a small hill more than a person tall.

"All the spiritual fruits picked over the years are here. Emmm, Bai Mi didn't steal any..."

Bai Mi subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at Huang Long guiltily.

But Huang Long did not notice these details. At this moment, his eyes were completely attracted by the pile of fresh Poria cocos fruits and the tender green Wudao tea leaves.

Obviously, these Poria cocos fruits and Wudao tea leaves were just picked in recent years.

But the problem is that there are too many Poria cocos fruits and Wudao tea.

It takes 1,300 years for nine Poria cocos fruits to mature, and it takes 10,000 years for nine pieces of Wudao tea to grow.

Huang Long had only been in seclusion for more than 5,000 years. Logically speaking, the Poria cocos fruit could only mature four times, but the Wudao tea leaves could not be picked even once.

But among that pile of spiritual fruits, there were five or six hundred Poria cocos fruits and forty-five pieces of enlightenment tea!

If we count the ones that Bai Mi stole, the number would be even greater. How could it grow in more than 5,000 years? But soon, Huang Long had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.

"Did you drop the source liquid on the ground tuckahoe and the enlightenment tea tree?"

"Yes, the source liquid that the master gave me is very effective. Just drop one or two drops on these spiritual roots, and it won't take long for the fruits to mature!"

Speaking of the source liquid that Huang Long gave him, Bai Mi couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration on his face.

Before this, she had heard that some powerful people who were good at the way of wood could rely on their own magic power to speed up the growth of their spiritual roots.

However, she had never heard of a spiritual object as powerful as the Source Liquid.

Different source fluids have different effects in accelerating the growth of spiritual roots.

The most effective source liquid, one drop of which can make the spiritual roots grow by nearly ten thousand years in a short period of time.

Even source fluids with lesser effects can allow spiritual roots to grow for hundreds or even thousands of years.

After building the Yunyin Taoist Temple, Huang Long handed all his spiritual roots and the source liquid that could accelerate the growth of the spiritual roots to Bai Mi.

However, his original purpose was to hope that these source liquids could slightly speed up the growth of the spiritual roots so that these spiritual roots could adapt to the new environment more quickly.

But he never expected that the effect of these source liquids would be so good.

Just twenty drops of source liquid can add tens of thousands of years to the age of plants such as the Wudao tea tree and the ground tuckahoe.

From this perspective, using the source liquid to improve one's cultivation may be the approach with the lowest return.

Depending on the different materials, the source liquid refined by the Yuan-Swallowing Gourd has different effects.

Some source liquids are suitable for alchemy, some are suitable for watering spiritual roots, and some can strengthen the roots...

In the past, no matter what type of source liquid it was, Huang Long took it as a kind of elixir to improve his own cultivation, and did not bring out the best effect of the source liquid.

But through this incident, Huang Long gained a better understanding of the source liquid.

The source liquid suitable for alchemy should be used to refine pills to increase the probability and quality of successful pills.

The source liquid suitable for watering spiritual roots should be used to water the spiritual roots to increase the age of the spiritual roots.

Taking the source liquid directly as a pill is simply a waste of nature's gift! "Fortunately, fortunately, not too much source liquid was wasted."

After understanding the most correct way to use the source liquid, Huang Long couldn't help but sigh.

Then he touched his chin, a thoughtful look on his face.

Generally speaking, the longer a spiritual root grows, the stronger its efficacy will be, and the grade of the spiritual root will continue to improve.

Although there has been no acquired spiritual roots in the ancient times, there has been no such thing as the advancement of acquired spiritual roots to innate spiritual roots.

However, it is not uncommon for inferior acquired spiritual roots to become top-grade acquired spiritual roots after a long period of growth.

By the same token, lower-grade innate spiritual roots, as long as they live long enough, can also become middle-grade or upper-grade innate spiritual roots.

Does this mean that as long as there is enough source liquid used to water the spiritual roots, all acquired spiritual roots can quickly grow to the acquired best level?

Will all innate spiritual roots become innate spiritual roots of the highest quality one day? Perhaps one day in the future, that low-grade innate spiritual root, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, will be able to become a high-grade innate spiritual root like its original body! The Enlightenment Tea Tree of the low-grade innate spiritual root can make people enter the state of enlightenment, so what about the Enlightenment Tea Tree of the middle-grade, high-grade, or even the highest-grade innate spiritual root? I'm afraid that taking a piece of tea can directly condense a law fruit.

Thinking of this, Huang Long's heartbeat quickened.

Fortunately, he was sober enough and calmed down quickly.

If you want to refine the source liquid that can increase the age of your spiritual roots, you must use enough acquired or innate spiritual roots.

Not to mention upgrading the Enlightenment Tea Tree to the highest grade innate spiritual root, even just upgrading it to a mid-grade one would require a large number of spiritual roots.

Even though Huang Long is now in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm and has few rivals, it is still unwise to go out and plunder spiritual roots.

It is impossible to make the enlightenment tea tree grow into a medium-grade innate spiritual root in a short period of time.

However, after knowing the correct usage of the source liquid, Huang Long had some ideas about trading the innate fire energy and the innate wood energy.

If these spiritual root source liquids could be combined, and a few pieces of enlightenment tea leaves could be added, no matter if it was the Eastern King or the Western Queen Mother, or even the mighty dragons, they would definitely be tempted! Thinking of this, Huang Long first went for a tour of Yunmeng Fairy Island.

Afterwards, he found a nearby hill, put all the remaining acquired spiritual roots on his body into the Yuan-Swallowing Gourd, and began to refine the source liquid.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also refined the corpses of the black water snakes in the Yuan Swallowing Gourd.
