Chapter 45
: Ripe Fruit, Breakthrough (Please continue reading)
"It's finally ripe!..."
Sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the backyard, Li Changsheng hurriedly got off the bed, pushed open the door, and walked quickly to the backyard, arriving in front of the "Love Flower" seed.
Under perception.
The wandering spiritual energy of heaven and earth swarmed and poured into the "Love Flower".
The yellow and white jade-like fruits hanging among its lush branches and leaves are visibly coated with a pinkish hue, which quickly spreads over time.
In just a few breaths.
A sweet and cloying fragrance filled the air.
Each thumb-sized fruit had turned pink, resembling a pink gemstone at first glance, and was quite beautiful.
"Hiss... This effect is truly worthy of a low-grade spiritual talent..."
Li Changsheng only took a few breaths of the fragrance before feeling a warm current flowing through his lower abdomen, which stirred a restless desire within him. He took a light breath, suppressed his lust, and happily circled the "Love Flower," beginning to take stock of his gains.
"One, two..."
I counted them carefully several times.
Final confirmation.
The "Love Flower" variety bore 296 fruits, of which 288 were ripe and 8 were shriveled and rotten.
"Two hundred and eighty-eight pieces..."
Li Changsheng suppressed his joy and quickly calculated the accounts.
Half of the fruit must be paid to the "Spirit Field Hall" at the price of one low-grade spirit stone, which is 144 fruits.
The remaining 144 were sold for two low-grade spirit stones.
The final harvest of the "Love Flower" seed in one season is...
Four hundred and thirty-two low-grade spirit stones.
"That's enough!..."
Li Changsheng's eyes lit up with even more joy.
A few days ago, he sold four jars of spirit spring water to the "Hehe Pill" shop every day at a price of five low-grade spirit stones per jar, and obtained a total of one hundred and forty low-grade spirit stones.
The thirty-six "love essences" derived from the "love flower" haven't even been sold yet.
We will sell these resources one by one.
Inside and out, all together.
His wallet will soon break the six hundred low-grade spirit stones mark!
They rose to the ranks of the small wealthy peasants.
"It's a pity the fruit can't be cultivated into a 'spirit seed,' otherwise it would have been a fortune..."
Li Changsheng shook his head slightly, and felt the spiritual energy in his dantian that was about to overflow, and his joy grew even stronger.

"I should be able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining tonight..."
Thinking about visiting the "Spirit Field Palace" the next day, she happily picked the "Love Flower" fruit.
The fruit has a tough, cool peel.
Because it's ripe, the aroma has become much weaker.
After harvesting the 288 fruits, he watered the "Love Flower" planted with some spiritual spring water and then turned back to the house.
Li Changsheng sat cross-legged on the soft couch, eagerly drank a mouthful of spiritual spring water, and quickly immersed himself in cultivation.
Gentle, moist wood-elemental energy circulated throughout his body, filling his aura, and then fell into his dantian, merging into the spiritual energy family.
As time slowly passed.
a moment.
Li Changsheng suddenly shuddered, and the spiritual energy ball in his dantian vibrated several times before abruptly splitting into two identical spiritual energy balls.
next moment.
A suction force radiated from his body.
The spiritual energy that filled the world rushed into his body, and after being simply refined by the Wood Spirit Technique, it fell into his dantian, where it was devoured by two balls of spiritual energy, expanding visibly.
Until the two clusters of spiritual energy returned to their normal size.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that had gathered around him suddenly dispersed.
at the same time.
It is located at the location of Li Changsheng's heart.
Within a sac-shaped organ covered in wood grain and floral patterns, a second vital acupoint was silently born.
A sudden realization dawned on Li Changsheng.
The life sac gives rise to the life acupoint, which can nurture a second life seed.
The next day, early in the morning.
"call…"
Li Changsheng exhaled a breath of turbid air, opened his eyes, and sensed the two clusters of spiritual energy in his dantian, the newly generated life acupoints in his life sac, and a sense of power and vitality that was many times stronger than yesterday.
With a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth, he exclaimed from the bottom of his heart:
"No wonder everyone loves cultivating immortality..."
This force is increasing.
The feeling of vibrant life is truly captivating.
A while later.
He then suppressed the turmoil in his heart and focused his gaze on himself.
[Target: Li Changsheng]
Lifespan: 18/117
Race: Human
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 2 "1%"]
[Spell: Wood Insect Puppet "Beginner"]
[Life Pouch: "Love Flower": Tier 1 Low Grade "11%"]
Status: Healthy
Compared to before the breakthrough.
Two additional information sections, "Lifespan" and "Life Bag," have been added.
The simple information panel has become slightly more luxurious.
"One hundred and seventeen years..."
When Li Changsheng saw the "lifespan" column, his joy grew even greater.
One hundred and seventeen years.
In his previous life, he would never have dared to imagine living this long.
But in the world of cultivation.
Qi Refining cultivators are only at the lowest level; above them are Foundation Establishment cultivators who can live up to three hundred years, and Golden Core cultivators who can live for a thousand years without dying.
Thinking of lifespan, Li Changsheng suddenly recalled a rumor.
It is said that once a "spiritual plant master" breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage...
The feedback from the "Life Seed" indicates that lifespan is significantly longer than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"I don't know if it's true or not..."
Li Changsheng thought for a moment, then put the matter out of his mind, put away the control panel, stretched his limbs briefly, picked up the package containing the "Love Flower" fruit from the bed, and went out.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the morning dew was heavy.
But the busy farmers don't care about these things; compared to being exposed to the scorching sun, being damp and shady is much more comfortable.
Pedestrians hurried along the road.
Li Changsheng lowered his head and remained silent, continuing his ascent of the mountain path.
Not long after.
Then they arrived at the mountaintop.
The mountaintop is shrouded in mist, which swirls in the wind and gives the ancient palaces an ethereal and otherworldly feel.
Li Changsheng glanced around and headed straight for the "Spirit Field Hall" in the center.
Compared to the four halls of "Spirit Seed" and "Miscellaneous Items".
The Lingtian Hall appeared very empty and solemn, with not a single person in sight.
Just as Li Changsheng was about to look for Steward Fang, Steward Fang's voice came from the side.
"Entering the 'Spirit Field Palace' so early, is there something you need?..."
Li Changsheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fang Yong, the steward, dressed in a black robe, walking in from the side hall. He hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting and said:
"Greetings, Steward."
"Your subordinate has come to deliver the fruit of the 'Love Flower'."
"Oh?"
Manager Fang was taken aback and looked at him with surprise.
He was very familiar with all the "spiritual plant masters" in his jurisdiction. Li Changsheng had only been a disciple for a little over a month, so his life seed should not have matured so quickly.
However, he did not ask.
Well known.
"Spiritual plant masters" love to tinker with "life seeds" indiscriminately. Some of them completely destroy their life seeds, thus ruining their future. Others, like Li Changsheng, have life seeds that mature early or develop special spiritual talents.
"Come, sit down and let's talk."
With these thoughts in mind, Steward Fang invited Li Changsheng to take a seat.
"Thank you, Steward."
Li Changsheng thanked him, sat down, placed the package on the table, opened it to reveal a series of pink fruits, and said:
"Manager Fang, these are all the fruits of my seed-planting."
"Um."
Although Manager Fang believed that Li Changsheng would not dare to fake it, he still picked out a few and checked them one by one, and the result surprised him.
It's not that the quality is too bad, it's that it's too good.
Normally, early-ripening fruits are not of very good quality, but Li Changsheng's fruits are all top-grade, and it is obvious at a glance that they were picked no more than a day ago.
"Not bad, you're very good..."
Manager Fang nodded in satisfaction, put down the fruit, pondered for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "Do you want to sell it all to the sect, or half? Do you want it to offset the debt for the 'Spirit Seed,' or do you want spirit stones?..."
Li Changsheng hurriedly said, "Sell half." After hesitating for a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "I have just broken through to the second level of Qi Refining and would like to purchase a 'Soul-Capturing Wood' spirit seed to nurture. I will have to trouble you again, steward. You can deduct the amount next time."
"Second level of Qi Refining..."
Manager Fang sensed the aura emanating from him and confirmed that he was indeed at the second level of Qi Refining. Considering the quality of his spiritual root, he nodded in approval.
"He's quite diligent..."
Thinking of Li Changsheng's words about nurturing the "Soul-Capturing Wood," he felt even more satisfied with him and waved his hand, saying:
"As you say."
After speaking, he counted out one hundred and forty-four fruits. Instead of immediately handing over the spirit stones, he smiled and asked:
"What do you plan to do with the remaining 'Love Flower' fruits?..."
Li Changsheng glanced at Steward Fang, a thought crossed his mind, and cupped his hands, saying, "Please instruct me, Steward."
Manager Fang's smile deepened, and he said, "If you're willing, I can buy these fruits for two 'Love Flower' fruits and five low-grade spirit stones."
"Two spirit stones worth five each..."
Li Changsheng's eyes lit up immediately. This was half a low-grade spirit stone more than the market price, and he nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, thank you, manager."
After saying that, he pushed the package in front of Manager Fang.
Manager Fang was very satisfied with his straightforward attitude. Without any nonsense, he first took out the 144 low-grade spirit stones that the sect had used to purchase the "Love Flower" fruit, and then took out the 360 low-grade spirit stones that he had used to purchase the "Love Flower" fruit.
Seeing Li Changsheng's gleaming eyes, a sly look flashed across his face. He then took out a jade box from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and said with a smile:
"Didn't you want to buy a 'Soul-Capturing Wood' seed? I happen to have one here..."
Sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the backyard, Li Changsheng hurriedly got off the bed, pushed open the door, and walked quickly to the backyard, arriving in front of the "Love Flower" seed.
Under perception.
The wandering spiritual energy of heaven and earth swarmed and poured into the "Love Flower".
