127: Chapter 127 Planting Blood Vine

Chen Jiancang's large, restless hands roamed freely over Chen Jianyun's graceful figure, leaving her feeling both shy and indignant.

...

After a moment of intimacy with Chen Jianyun, Chen Jiancang finally stopped his 'ravaging' of her. Holding the array token, he opened the passage to Plot 147 Spiritual Field.

"Cang-ge, is there anything else you need help with here?" Chen Jianyun's cheeks were flushed like a sunset that had just bloomed, truly adorable.

"No need, you should head home first. I'll come find you after I'm done," Chen Jiancang said, pinching Chen Jianyun's nose with lingering reluctance.

After all, the method for planting Blood Nether Vine was quite bloody, and he was afraid Chen Jianyun wouldn't be able to handle it after seeing it.

"Alright then."

After Chen Jianyun left, Chen Jiancang entered Plot 147 Spiritual Field.

What met his eyes was the deep black, loose soil of the spirit field. Although it hadn't been watered with spiritual rain for several days, the spirit field looked moist and full of vitality.

One should know that spirit fields where Lueling Grass had been planted would experience a significant loss of earth power, causing the soil to compact.

However, these four mu of spirit fields where Lueling Grass had been planted did not show such a situation. This was entirely due to the Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array repairing the earth power. There was not even a trace of earth power deficiency; instead, the spirit field was even more fertile.

Seeing this, Chen Jiancang couldn't help but sigh.

Lueling Grass had a short growth cycle and offered quite generous rewards upon harvest, making it very suitable for him to plant during the Qi Refining Stage. Unfortunately, the rewards for Lueling Grass had already reached their limit and were no longer being produced.

If he continued to plant it, aside from the spiritual stones he could obtain by refining Lue Ling Powder, it would be of no further benefit to his cultivation.

Chen Jiancang first scanned the spirit field with his Divine Sense, clearing out several Soul-Devouring Beetles from the soil. Then, he waved the array token in his hand, mobilizing the power of the array to isolate a section of the spirit field.

The Blood Nether Vine had a conscious ability to attack, and the small, suction-cup-like barbs on its vines contained toxins. Once pricked by the barbs, one would fall into paralysis.

Chen Jiancang had to prepare countermeasures in advance; otherwise, if he wasn't careful, he could stumble and become nourishment for the Blood Nether Vine.

After leveling the designated spirit field, Chen Jiancang took out the Blood Nether Vine spiritual seeds from his storage bag. The spiritual seeds were blood-red, with a smooth core covered in sharp, straight spines. Although their appearance was ugly, the spiritual seeds emitted a refreshing fragrance that invigorated the spirit.

Chen Jiancang evenly scattered the Blood Nether Vine spiritual seeds throughout the spirit field.

Then, he took out a round vat from his storage bag. The vat was filled with the beast blood he had prepared beforehand. The grade of this blood was not high; it was merely the blood of First Order mid-stage monster beasts, the Earth Boar.

Earth Boar blood was incredibly foul-smelling. As soon as Chen Jiancang took it out of his storage bag, the stench had already permeated the entire array space.

"It really stinks!" Chen Jiancang held his breath, suppressing his physical discomfort, and evenly poured the Earth Boar blood into the spirit field.

As soon as the blood fell into the spirit field, dyeing it a dark red color, a network of patterns resembling human capillaries formed around the Blood Nether Vine spiritual seeds. These patterns continuously absorbed the Earth Boar blood soaked in the soil into the interior of the seeds.

At this point, the originally sharp and pointed spines on the surface of the Blood Nether Vine seeds softened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tiny, dense, milky-white root sprouts grew from the spines, deeply embedding themselves in the soil.

"As expected of a Second Order Spiritual Plant, its vitality is actually so vigorous," Chen Jiancang couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the Blood Nether Vine seeds' performance.

One must know that ordinary plants, and even First Order Spiritual Plants, after being sown, would not show such subtle changes in their spiritual seeds without several days of growth.

The growth speed displayed by the Blood Nether Vine at this moment made Chen Jiancang look forward to the rewards at harvest time.

Blood Nether Vine could increase one's vital energy and blood. Its sap could be used to refine Second-Order Blood Nourishing Muscle Generating Pill, which had miraculous effects on the healing of internal and external injuries and the recovery of spiritual energy.

Chen Jiancang could also roughly guess what the rewards would be.

Second-Order Blood Nourishing Muscle Generating Pill refining experience, spirit energy groups, and perhaps even vital energy and blood. Regardless of which one, they were all extremely valuable to Chen Jiancang.

At that time, if Chen Jiancang could obtain enough Blood Nourishing Muscle Generating Pill experience, he might be able to successfully advance to Second-Order Alchemist by refining Blood Nourishing Muscle Generating Pill.

By then, as his status within the Chen Clan rose, perhaps the Chen Clan would fully assist him in Foundation Establishment without him having to find a way to refine the foundation establishment pill himself.

After all, currently, the entire Chen Clan only had one Second-Order Alchemist, the Pill Hall Master Chen Yinsu.

If Chen Jiancang could advance to Second-Order Alchemist, the position of Pill Hall Master would also be his in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiancang felt full of energy and no longer minded the foul smell of the Earth Boar blood. He quickly poured the entire vat of Earth Boar blood into the spirit field.

The pig blood was foul-smelling, but as it was poured into the spirit field, the stench quickly dissipated and disappeared. Chen Jiancang was busy for an hour, back and forth, until the vat of Earth Boar beast blood was empty. Only then did the Blood Nether Vine spiritual seeds stop absorbing, and the spirit field was once again soaked in blood, turning a dark, heavy blood-red.

"It seems I still need to collect more monster beast blood," Chen Jiancang said with a wry smile, looking at the empty vat.

He had originally thought that this vat of Earth Boar blood would last for at least ten days to half a month, but what he hadn't expected was that on the very first day of planting, this vat of beast blood had already been completely consumed.

Chen Jiancang didn't know that Blood Nether Vine was originally a Spiritual Plant that grew extremely fast. In the wild, most Blood Nether Vine plants grew relatively slowly because their ability to hunt independently was poor and they couldn't get enough beast blood to nourish them.

Now that Chen Jiancang was supplying an unlimited amount of monster beast blood, the speed at which the Blood Nether Vine absorbed blood and grew reached a peak. On the very first day, it had already grown roots and rooted itself in the soil.

Chen Jiancang exited the Blood Nether Vine spirit field space. Looking at the large empty spirit fields, he took out the spiritual medicine seeds for the foundation establishment pill that he had obtained from the Pill Hall Master Chen Yinsu from his storage bag and began to examine them.

After examining the status and attributes of dozens of spiritual medicines one after another, Chen Jiancang's brows furrowed even tighter. Although these dozens of spiritual medicines he had examined were only auxiliary medicines for the foundation establishment pill, their planting conditions were extremely harsh.

"Sigh!"

Chen Jiancang shook his head helplessly and continued to examine the remaining spiritual seeds. These spiritual medicine seeds either had long growth cycles or required special growth environments, and with Chen Jiancang's current conditions, he was not yet able to plant them.

"Yangxuan Ginseng? No, this growth environment is too special."

"Purple Dew Dendrobium is also out. The quality of my spirit field doesn't meet the planting requirements."

Chen Jiancang eliminated the spiritual seeds before him one by one. With each one he eliminated, his mood became a little heavier.

"Could it be that there isn't even one suitable auxiliary medicine for the foundation establishment pill to plant?" Chen Jiancang looked at the last few spiritual medicine seeds, unsure of what to do for a moment.
