Chapter 64
: Shelf life of 1 year, Immortal Spirit (Please continue reading)
What will happen a year from now?
Take another pill, and you can stay healthy for another year?
Li Changsheng felt this routine was somewhat familiar, so without wasting words, he asked directly:
"Is the effect of this pill in strengthening the spiritual veins permanent?"
"permanent?"
Manager Zhai was taken aback by his words. Regaining his composure, he replied without hesitation:
"If you keep eating it, isn't that permanent?"
Li Changsheng: "..."
What a great thing to keep eating!
That heartless shopkeeper Zhai!
He suppressed his speechless feelings and said, "It's not that it's permanent, it's that after you finish taking the pill, you don't need to take any more pills, and the effect still exists."
Shopkeeper Zhai immediately realized, saying, "So you're referring to the 'elixir' made from the 'Immortal Spirit' fruit, young friend."
He glanced at Li Changsheng speechlessly, then shook his head and said:
"Such precious items are too expensive for our small shop to handle."
Seemingly realizing that he was belittling his own shop, he quickly added:
Even in a large market like the "Three Mountains Market," "elixirs" are rarely found, and even if they do, the price... tsk tsk...
Manager Zhai didn't mention the price.
But judging from his expression, it must be incredibly expensive.
"Fairy Spirit Fruit, Immortal Elixir..."
Li Changsheng looked puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Manager Zhai, what is the 'Immortal Spirit' fruit? Is it only pills made from the 'Immortal Spirit' fruit that have the effect of permanently strengthening spiritual veins?..."
Manager Zhai looked at him with a puzzled expression, then, considering his cultivation level, his eyes lit up with understanding. After a moment's thought, he nodded and smiled:
"Yes and no."
"As you mentioned, the permanent strengthening of spiritual veins is indeed only possible with the 'Immortal Spirit' fruit. However, this effect is merely a byproduct of the 'Immortal Spirit' fruit..."
As for the specific effects of the "Fairy Spirit" fruit...
At this point, he shook his head and said:
"The effects of each 'Fairy Spirit' plant are not entirely the same..."
"As far as I know, the most famous 'immortal spirit' in the sect is none other than the 'Myriad Spirit Tree' of the 'Myriad Spirit True Man' in the Spirit Field Hall."
"The Spirit Field Palace, the 'Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits,' the 'Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits'..."
Li Changsheng had heard of the "Ten Thousand Transformations True Man" who was hung up and burned by the sect's patriarch, but this was the first time he had heard of the "Ten Thousand Spirits True Man".
As for the celestial spirit "Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits".
They hadn't heard a single word about him.
Seeing the puzzled look on Li Changsheng's face, Manager Zhai asked mysteriously, "Do you know where the 'Spirit Field Palace's' vast expanse of spirit fields comes from?..."
Before he could answer, he continued to speak to himself:
"The vast majority of this is naturally due to the 'Earth Reclamation' array set up by the sect's patriarch using countless spiritual veins, but where did these spiritual veins come from?..."
"Given the vast scale of the 'Spirit Field Palace's' ten thousand hectares of spirit fields, it couldn't have been obtained through plundering, could it?..."
Li Changsheng's mind stirred slightly, and he said, "Is it because of the 'Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits'?"
Manager Zhai nodded.
Wait a few moments.
Li Changsheng looked at Manager Zhai speechlessly. Wait, what happened next?
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Manager Zhai spread his hands and said, "That's all I know. As for more specific details, I'll have to ask you to help me when you enter the inner sect in the future."
He paused, then added:
"After all, although 'celestial spirits' are born between heaven and earth, only the life sacs of you 'spirit plant masters' can nurture, cultivate, and come into contact with them..."
"Only plant masters can cultivate 'celestial spirits'..."
Li Changsheng was even more astonished.
a long time.
Manager Zhai saw them off with a smile.
With twenty low-grade spirit stones in his pocket, Li Changsheng left the shop. Instead of rushing to leave the market, he briefly browsed the outer stalls.
It includes information about some items.
I bought two outfits for Ya Ya before leaving the market.
The journey back.
When Li Changsheng thought of the "immortal spirit" mentioned by Manager Zhai, for some reason, he couldn't help but think of the life seed "Soul-Capturing Wood".
"Could it be that the transformation of the 'Soul-Capturing Wood' is similar to the transformation of a 'Fairy Spirit'?..."
But after thinking about it...
But something still felt off.
According to Manager Zhai, "Fairy Spirit" is a certain spiritual seed that was blessed by heaven and was born by chance.
The "Soul-Capturing Wood" undergoes its transformation only through the sprouting of buds...
"What if the 'Soul-Capturing Wood' were to transform into a 'Fairy Spirit'..."
The thought flashed through his mind, and Li Changsheng turned his head and glanced at Ya Ya, who was sitting obediently in the bamboo frame, not making a fuss.
"It would be hard for them not to become successful then..."
"Oh dear..."
Ya Ya grinned.
"Come on, let's go back and fry some grasshoppers for you..."
Li Changsheng smiled, banished his distracting thoughts, and quickly left.
When we returned to "Wugu Lingzhuang".
From a distance.
Then I saw Uncle Liu and his oxcart parked under a big tree, buying weeds and seedlings from Lingnong.
Li Changsheng's smile vanished. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and walked over.
Approaching.
Liu Quan naturally noticed Li Changsheng as well. His face twitched, and he looked somewhat embarrassed, not daring to look at him.
No matter what reasons he may have.
As a result, he conspired with his wife and brother-in-law to swindle Li Changsheng out of a full 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Thinking about these things.
Liu Quan felt utterly ashamed.
As for the buds.
It was just a somewhat peculiar failed experiment.
Liu Quan remained silent.
"Oh…"
Li Changsheng assumed he was just ashamed, and sneered to himself, "Now he knows he's too embarrassed to show his face..."
I was just about to say something sarcastic to him.
What a middle-aged gubernatorial said caught his attention.
"Guess who I just saw?!..."
Before anyone could ask, he said with a look of surprise:
"Third Master! I saw Third Master!..."
One of the farmers asked doubtfully, "The Third Master you're talking about, could it be the same Third Master who was taken away by the steward?...
"That's him!"
The middle-aged Lingnong nodded in agreement.
"That can't be right, wasn't he supposed to have stolen someone's spiritual plant and died?... "
One person exclaimed in surprise.
"He's not dead, he was taken away by Steward Fang."
"Really?"
"Hiss... Goodness, our Third Master is really lucky. He managed to come back unscathed after doing this."
"Hey, who knows, maybe Third Master has some money and bought his life..."
"Hard to say..."
"..."
The farmers chattered amongst themselves, some happy that Liu San had returned, some feeling that the Third Master was somewhat unfathomable, and others simply enjoying the spectacle.
"He's not dead...?"
Li Changsheng's eyes showed doubt.
That shouldn't be possible. He personally witnessed Steward Liu performing a soul search, killing Liu San to death. How could he possibly come back to life?
However, he didn't think much of it.
Whether he lives or dies is a matter for the officials in charge to decide.
He, a mere second-level Qi Refining cultivator, can't possibly manage this, but if he really isn't dead, then we'll have to think about it carefully.
In my mind.
After selling their weeds and seedlings, the Lingnong people left one by one.
Li Changsheng looked at Liu Quan, who was fiddling with the weeds, and said irritably, "Stop busying yourself. Give me the water pouch first. I have things to do and don't have time to wait for you."
Liu's whole body trembled, and he turned around, saying awkwardly, "Well, there's no need to send the spiritual spring water from Ma Dao."
Seeing Li Changsheng frown, he quickly took out a contract from his sleeve, handed it to Li Changsheng, and said:
"From now on, you're even."
Li Changsheng glanced at Uncle Liu suspiciously, took the contract, confirmed its authenticity, and was secretly delighted. He quickly stuffed it into his pocket, and said with a stern face:
"It's him who didn't want it, not me, Li Changsheng, who broke the contract."
"Naturally, naturally."
Liu Quan nodded repeatedly.
Seeing Liu Quan's obsequious smile, Li Changsheng lost all interest in being sarcastic. He snorted coldly, turned around, and quickly left.
I watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance.
Liu Quan plopped down in the recliner, his expression shifting several times before he muttered curses:
"Damn it, what kind of mess is this?!"
"Damn your mother's bloodline, I'm not putting up with this anymore. I'm going back to get a divorce..."
After grumbling a few words, he got up, tidied himself up, and drove the oxcart away.
Residential area on the hillside.
As soon as Li Changsheng arrived at his own courtyard, he saw a dog's furtive figure lingering in front of the gate.
Take another pill, and you can stay healthy for another year?
Li Changsheng felt this routine was somewhat familiar, so without wasting words, he asked directly:
"Is the effect of this pill in strengthening the spiritual veins permanent?"
"permanent?"
Manager Zhai was taken aback by his words. Regaining his composure, he replied without hesitation:
