Chapter 423 - 171: Fairy Qingqiu, New Discovery, Grade 4 Spirit Plant_2
"But now things are better.
She successfully entered the Shuiyun Immortal Sect and even apprenticed under Fairy Qingqiu. If my guess is correct, Fairy Qingqiu should be a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.
Judging from Xiaoyue’s tone, it seems she’s not just any ordinary Foundation Establishment, so I believe her future development will surely be promising.
However, if she returns, she still needs to inquire with Sister Shen.
Confirming it would definitely put the mind at ease."
Muttering to himself, Zhou Changwang collected the array flags and array he had set up outside and left the temporary residence.
An hour later, Zhou Changwang glanced into the distance.
"Twin Flower? Another kind of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object."
Zhou Changwang’s eyes brightened.
This Twin Flower was blooming on the edge of a cliff, one side with red flowers, the other with white, hence named Twin Flower.
The flowers were already blooming, indicating the Twin Flower is already over a hundred years old, and not far from it is a white snake guarding it.
The Twin Flower is a Third-Grade Spirit Plant, possessing functions of enriching blood, supplementing blood, and refining the bloodline, which is extremely beneficial for demon beasts.
Plus, a Third-Grade Spirit Plant naturally gathers Spiritual Qi, so it’s usually guarded by a demon beast nearby.
Fortunately, this Twin Flower hasn’t reached a mature stage, so the guarding demon beast is only at the high-tier first-grade level.
After Zhou Changwang appeared, he exterminated the white snake demon beast with several Geng Metal Fingers.
Utilizing the Flying Skill, he smoothly descended to the cliff edge, uprooted the Twin Flower, and sealed it in a jade box before dealing with the white snake’s corpse.
The demon pill first, then the snake hide.
As for the blood and flesh essence, he used the Spirit Seizing Technique to transform it into demon beast Spiritual Liquid.
In this way, dozens to hundreds of bottles of demon beast Spiritual Liquid were acquired.
Truly, Divine Wind Valley is indeed a sanctuary for him, with extremely numerous harvests.
Apart from the corresponding spirit plants and spiritual materials from the demon beasts, their blood and flesh could all be thoroughly extracted into a pile of demon beast Spiritual Liquid.
Eventually, his medicinal bottles weren’t enough, so he simply crafted some wooden jars using Spirit Wood.
The capacity increased significantly.
A hundred bottles for a small jar, two hundred for a medium jar, three hundred for a large jar.
"Here, it should be between Ninefold Mountain and Black Forest in Divine Wind Valley.
Judging by Ninefold Mountain, I should have reached between Triple Mountain and Fourfold Mountain, no wonder there are more, stronger demon beasts here."
After relocating another Third-Grade Spirit Plant again, Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but sigh.
Along the way, he found quite a few spirit plants indeed.
Although most are at the First and Second Grade levels, many are already mature enough to be picked directly.
As a result, he continuously moved stops, unable to increase his speed.
Until now, having relocated another Third-Grade Spirit Plant, he surveyed his surroundings to find his current position and direction.
"Perhaps it’s precisely because of this environment that very few people have come, allowing for so many spirit plants.
It’s just unfortunate that Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects are still relatively fewer."
Zhou Changwang sighed, smoothly storing this Third-Grade Spirit Plant in his Storage Bag.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Changwang’s gaze shifted.
"The terrain here, and the location of this Third-Grade Spirit Plant..."
Zhou Changwang furrowed his eyebrows.
He couldn’t help but use Spirit Eye Technique, his gaze probing through the mountains and forests.
Next, using the Flying Skill, he instantly flew up, looking far and wide from above.
"Spiritual Qi gathering place, Spirit Vein Node, where the earth qi converges... as introduced in the Geomancy Skill, each Spirit Vein contains vitality and creation, and its nodes are where creation gathers; often cultivating incredible objects.
Dragon-Seeking and Acupoint-Pointing also introduced that, with Spirit Veins as dragons, Dragon Veins contain various acupoints, which are actually places where Spiritual Qi is released.
Where the Spiritual Qi is abundant, the treasures growing around will be even more precious.
Even if they aren’t born from acupoint skills, through the long river of time, it can subtly shift the ’Dragon Acupoint’ to below itself.
Using the Spiritual Qi within the ’Dragon Acupoint’ to nurture its growth..."
Observing all this, a trace of excitement appeared in Zhou Changwang’s eyes.
"This means.
I actually don’t need to blindly search for various spirit plants.
Just observing the direction of ’earth qi’, examining the scale of Spirit Veins, and finding the corresponding Spirit Vein Node, where earth qi gathers, naturally, I could find sufficiently precious natural treasures.
There are patterns in everything.
Along the way, although spirit plants will also grow and decent treasures will appear, they can’t compare with the key nodes of earth qi convergence, Spirit Veins, and Dragon Veins."
Doing a silent comparison, Zhou Changwang quickly noticed that the Third-Grade Spirit Plant he had just picked happened to be in a place of earth qi convergence.
It was precisely on top of a Spirit Vein Node.
Following another Spirit Vein Node he saw while flying, he proceeded there.
After several dozen breaths, he indeed found another Spirit Plant there.
Unfortunately, it was only a Second-Grade Spirit Plant.
But it mattered not, for its age was ripe; he picked it immediately and stored it in his Storage Bag.
"In this way, my efficiency in acquiring various treasures will increase many times over.
The only trouble might be the demon beasts guarding the spirit plants.
But this is something one will encounter, hardly a concern."
