Cultivating "Green Jade Ginseng"

This fish was less than half a foot long, with a slender body, a flat head, no eyes, a bluish membrane covering its body, and no scales.

"Hiss~ Young master, here's some for you, hiss~ It tastes just like a mouse~ hiss~"

When delivering the fish, Xiaoqing specifically emphasized that the fish was delicious.

Xu Yunxin accepted it with a smile. This kind of mutual gifting between partners can continuously enhance the relationship between them.

This bluefish isn't very big, and it doesn't look like it has much meat.

He thought for a moment, took out a short dagger, and sliced ​​the bluefish into sashimi with a flick of his wrist. Then he took out some seasonings, made a simple sauce, and ate a slice while dipping it in the sauce.

These grass carp slices are bouncy and sweet, with no fishy smell at all. Instead, they have a unique grassy aroma, and the taste is really good.

"Um?"

After the fish entered his stomach, it emitted a warm energy that spontaneously merged into his body, nourishing the subtle parts of him that he usually didn't receive.

"Is it a spirit fish that nourishes the physical body? But why doesn't it possess any spiritual energy?"

He was a Qi Refining cultivator. After the spiritual energy entered his body, his physical body had already undergone a preliminary transformation. Plants like the "Red Mushroom," which were not of a certain rank, could no longer have an effect on him and could only be used by mortals in the Body Building stage.

The blue fish in this green pool, which clearly does not contain spiritual energy and is not of any grade, can still nourish his physical body!

What a wondrous creation!

"Xiao Qing, are there many grass carp here?"

Since it was useful to him, Xu Yunxin naturally paid more attention and immediately asked Xiaoqing about it.

"Hiss~ There used to be more, now there's less~ Hiss~ It takes a long time to catch Little Green~ Hiss~ Little Green wants to eat too~~"

Xiaoqing's answer relieved Xu Yunxin. It's okay if there are fewer, as long as there are still some.

As they were talking, Xu Yunxin fed Xiaoqing some raw fish dipped in sauce.

Xiao Qing usually swallowed the grass carp whole, never having tasted such a novel flavor before. With a single snail's mouth, she snatched the entire sashimi and sauce from Xu Yunxin's hand and swallowed it all in one go.

Xu Yunxin smiled and pointed at Xiaoqing, saying, "You really are a glutton!"

He stopped Xiaoqing, who was still going to catch fish, and asked him some more questions about the grass carp and the green pond.

I learned from Xiaoqing that this kind of grass carp lives at the bottom of the green pond. It usually hides in the soft mud at the bottom of the pond and rarely surfaces. It only occasionally floats to the surface.

Xiao Qing took advantage of the opportunity when these grass carp swam to the surface to catch fish.

Xu Yunxin told Xiaoqing not to catch grass carp for the time being, but to eat "bamboo-scented pig rat" if it gets hungry. He would wait until he had studied the grass carp at the bottom of the green pond and found out if they could be artificially bred before making any decisions.

If Xiaoqing does as he says, then he will cast the [Skill: World Tree Blessing] on Xiaoqing a few more times.

Although Xiaoqing didn't understand what artificial breeding was, it wanted Xu Yunxin's skill blessing more than the grass carp, so it nodded repeatedly and readily agreed.

Next, under Xiaoqing's guidance, Xu Yunxin carefully inspected the cave hidden deep inside Qifeng Mountain.

The cave covers an area of ​​about 40 mu, with the green pool in the center covering about 10 mu, and the remaining 30 mu being soft soil.

The land was dotted with ferns and moss, making it seem like a man-made cave, but the concealment of the entrance and exit and the extremely smooth passage proved that it was not naturally formed.

Xu Yunxin asked Xiaoqing in detail and learned that Xiaoqing had lived here for a long time, advancing from the first level to the second level, and that no outsiders had ever come here before.

Since that's the case, let's consider this unclaimed land as Xu Yunxin's secret base for the time being.

With this secret base, he can transplant the "Azure Jade Ginseng" here. Once he has spirit stones, he can buy a set of defensive formations to set up here. In addition, with Little Green guarding it, the security of this secret base can be pushed to the highest level, making it foolproof!

This cave dwelling was an unexpected delight, and Xu Yunxin was quite satisfied.

After inspecting the cave, Xu Yunxin had Xiaoqing ride the cloud to take him out of the cave. He then left Xiaoqing on the mountain to watch over the cave and went down the mountain alone.

He plans to transplant the "Green Jade Ginseng" seeds into this cave today.

Xu Yunxin returned to the town to retrieve the "Green Jade Ginseng" seeds. Upon learning that the two daughters of the Yue family had not yet returned, he rushed back to the cave without stopping.

With Xiaoqing's help, Xu Yunxin arrived at the bottom of the cave again.

After a simple measurement, Xu Yunxin chose to plant "Qingyu Ginseng" in a location far from the passage and close to the green pond.

He first nurtured the "Azure Jade Ginseng" seeds with his spiritual power, then buried the seeds at the planting site and watered them with water from the Green Pool.

The next step is to consistently water and nurture the plant until the "Green Jade Ginseng" seeds sprout.

These were all tasks that Xu Yunxin was used to doing, so he was very good at them.

After successfully planting the "Green Jade Ginseng," Xu Yunxin set his sights on the glowing moss on both sides of the cave.

These luminescent mosses are also considered non-hierarchical vegetation, but because they emit seven colors of light, they are also called "seven-colored fluorescent mosses".

Xu Yunxin picked a patch of "Seven-Colored Fluorescent Moss" nearby to try it out. After nurturing it with spiritual power, the "Seven-Colored Fluorescent Moss" became even more vibrant, but it did not provide him with any Druid experience points.

Xu Yunxin was not discouraged after his attempt to exploit a loophole failed.

With nothing else to do, he prepared to cultivate by transforming the Golden Buddha Tree in his cave.

As he unleashed his "Skill: Wild Transformation," a golden tree appeared in the cave.

Just as Xu Yunxin, in his golden Buddha tree form, spread his branches and took root in the earth to draw energy from nature, the newly planted "Azure Jade Ginseng" seed suddenly trembled, and a burst of vibrant, clear light erupted from its body.

At the same time, the World Tree bud in Xu Yunxin's spiritual sea swayed gently, and the spiritual power in his body surged rapidly. The branches and leaves of the Golden Buddha Tree he had transformed into rustled, and the entire Golden Buddha Tree suddenly burst forth with a warm and bright golden radiance.

Xu Yunxin sensed the joy emanating from the "Azure Jade Ginseng" seed through the World Tree sprout in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness. Knowing it was a good thing, he mobilized his magical power to maximize the golden light emitted by the Golden Buddha Tree.

For a moment, within the cave, golden light and clear radiance shone brightly, each belonging to a different category yet blending together seamlessly.

Under the golden light, the radiance emitted by the "Green Jade Ginseng" seeds grew stronger and stronger.

Nourished by abundant golden light and clear radiance, the "Azure Jade Ginseng" seed suddenly split open, from which a tender green bud and several pure white roots emerged.

After the bud broke through the seed, the clear light emitted by the "Azure Jade Ginseng" seed quickly subsided, leaving only a layer of shimmering blue light enveloping the bud.

The entire process of the "Green Jade Ginseng" sprouting was very fast, taking less than a breath.

Xu Yunxin had just dispersed the Golden Buddha Tree when he immediately received a system notification.
