99: Chapter Emergency

Chen Jianyun's lotus-like steps moved lightly as she entered the room. Looking up, she saw a mountain of Spirit Talismans piled on the table. She couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise: "Cang-ge, did you draw all these Spirit Talismans?"

Chen Jianyun looked at Chen Jiancang with some disbelief. Although she was a Mortal, she could still simply discern the quality of the Spirit Talismans.

The Spirit Talismans on the table shone brightly with spiritual light, clearly much more Advanced than the First Order Low Grade spirit rain talisman she often used.

What shocked her was that Chen Jiancang, who was a rising young Alchemist on Xiao Yun Mountain, actually possessed such superb Crafting Talismans skills. It was simply hard for her to believe.

Chen Jiancang smiled and raised his head, rubbing Chen Jianyun's head: "These Spirit Talismans were indeed made by me, but you have to keep this a secret for me."

Chen Jianyun nodded repeatedly, her eyes revealing an unusual brilliance, full of excitement and curiosity: "Cang-ge, don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut! But how did you hide such amazing talisman crafting skills? I've never heard you mention it before."

Chen Jiancang smiled gently, pulled Chen Jianyun to sit down beside him, and patiently explained: "Crafting Talismans and Alchemy are both among the four major categories of immortal cultivation hundred arts: Alchemy, Talismans, Artifacts, and Formations. Anyone who is proficient in one of them can occupy a place in the cultivation world. And I have already gained significant fame in the path of Alchemy. If I were to expose my talent in the path of Talismans as well, it would inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."

"Moreover, with great power comes great responsibility. I am just a small Qi Refining Stage Cultivator and do not have that much energy to bear the corresponding responsibilities. Therefore, my talent in the path of Talismans has never been revealed to the outside world."

Chen Jianyun looked on with adoration, picked up a Spirit Talisman, and carefully examined it, her eyes full of envy: "Cang-ge, if only I also had a Spiritual Root, then I would be qualified to learn these skills too."

There was a hint of loneliness in Chen Jianyun's expression.

Seeing this, Chen Jiancang also sensed Chen Jianyun's emotional fluctuation, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

Born into a Chen Family of immortal Cultivators, having witnessed the colorful and exciting experiences of Cultivators, yet lacking a Spiritual Root oneself, this was indeed a great regret.

In the knowledge of this world that Chen Jiancang understood, there had never been a record of Mortals being able to cultivate immortality. The strongest martial arts practitioners among Mortals could only reach the Realm of the unity of heaven and man, and their strength was only comparable to Cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Moreover, their methods were far less diverse than those of immortal Cultivators.

"Yun Mei, you don't need to be too attached to it. Even among immortal Cultivators with Spiritual Roots, those who can go far on this great path are few and far between."

"Even as a Mortal, if one can live a sufficiently exciting life in their lifetime, even if they are not an immortal Cultivator, what does it matter?"

It seemed that Chen Jiancang's words had dispelled Chen Jianyun's obsession. In her beautiful and bright eyes, there was infinite expectation for the future.

"Even if I can't cultivate immortality, what does it matter? As a Mortal, I can receive Cang-ge's affection, and that is enough. Moreover, the lifespan of a Mortal and a Qi Refining Stage immortal Cultivator is not very different. As long as I diligently practice health preservation techniques, my lifespan can be comparable to that of a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator. This way, I can grow old together with Cang-ge." Chen Jianyun thought to herself. After all, she knew that Chen Jiancang also only had a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root, and in his entire life, he might not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Having figured this out, Chen Jianyun picked up a Spirit Talisman from the table and examined it.

"Cang-ge, what grade are these Spirit Talismans? Although I am a Mortal, I can still sense the powerful force contained within them." Chen Jianyun asked curiously.

"These Spirit Talismans are all First Order High Grade."

"Cang-ge, can you give me one?" A look of longing appeared in Chen Jianyun's eyes.

Chen Jiancang dotingly took out one of each of the five-element Spirit Talismans from the table, and then took out the remaining First Order Low Grade Spirit Talismans from his storage bag from the last time he fought the Stone-Eating Rat and handed them to Chen Jianyun: "Take them. Keep these First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans for collection. And these First Order Low Grade Spirit Talismans are for your self-defense. When you encounter danger, just inject your blood energy to activate them."

First Order Low Grade Spirit Talismans can be forcibly activated and used with blood energy, but the structure of First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans is already particularly stable, and Mortals cannot activate them with blood energy at all.

Chen Jianyun happily took the bundle of Spirit Talismans, clutching them tightly in her hand as if holding the most precious treasures in the world, and playfully said: "Wow, thank you, Cang-ge! I will definitely cherish them."

After putting all the Spirit Talismans into his storage bag, Chen Jiancang came to Plot 147 Spiritual Field to check the growth of the Lueling Grass.

When he checked yesterday, he estimated that the four mu of Lueling Grass would mature today. At this moment, he was already a little impatient. After harvesting these four mu of Lueling Grass, there was a great hope of breaking through to the eighth layer of Qi Refining.

[Maturity] 100%

When Chen Jiancang's fingers touched the Lueling Grass, the Golden Finger had already fed the status of the Lueling Grass back into his mind.

[You have harvested a Lueling Grass, rewarding a small spirit energy group.]

[You have harvested a Lueling Grass, rewarding one portion of Crafting Talismans experience.]

[You have harvested a Lueling Grass, rewarding one portion of Lue Ling Powder crafting experience.]

With the usual rewards, Chen Jiancang no longer had any expectations. The spiritual sickle in his hand kept swinging, harvesting the Lueling Grass like a machine.

Chen Jiancang continuously incorporated the rewarded spirit energy groups into the sea of his Dantian. The rich spiritual energy, like a series of small rains, fell into Chen Jiancang's Dantian.

Like a full bottle overflowing, a large number of spirit energy groups were constantly compressed and expanded. Chen Jiancang could already feel that he was about to break through to the eighth layer of Qi Refining.

"Just a little bit more." Chen Jiancang estimated the amount of spiritual energy needed to break through to the eighth layer of Qi Refining in his heart.

However, at this moment, the prompt sound for harvesting Lueling Grass stopped abruptly. No matter how Chen Jiancang harvested, the reward sound no longer sounded.

"This..."

Chen Jiancang's originally joyful expression instantly turned panicked. Everything he had now was given by the Golden Finger. If he didn't have the Golden Finger, how could he stand in the cultivation world?

Chen Jiancang frantically swung the spiritual sickle, harvesting several Lueling Grass in front of him. However, the prompt sound no longer sounded.

"This Golden Finger won't expire, will it?"

Chen Jiancang suspected in disbelief.

Chen Jiancang dared not have any further hesitation or delay and quickly used his finger to touch and check the information of the Lueling Grass.

The familiar information appeared in Chen Jiancang's mind again, only then did the panicked Chen Jiancang let out a long sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the Golden Finger is still here." Cold sweat dripped from Chen Jiancang's forehead. The moment the prompt sound stopped just now was like the sky had fallen.

Without the Golden Finger, how could he break through Foundation Establishment, how could he survive in this colorful and exciting cultivation world?

"The reward for Lueling Grass should have reached its limit, right?" Chen Jiancang guessed in his heart.

He originally thought that a type of spiritual plant could be continuously planted and provide a continuous stream of rewards. However, his guess was wrong. Now it seems that there is a limit to the rewards obtained from planting a type of spiritual plant.

To verify what he thought in his heart.

Chen Jiancang no longer harvested the Lueling Grass in the Spirit Field, but instead searched carefully in the Spirit Field. There were cases of Lueling Grass mutating. If he could find a mutated mature plant among them and harvest it, if he could obtain a reward, then Chen Jiancang's current guess would be correct.

Chen Jiancang carefully moved through the Lueling Grass, his fingers stroking each plant, checking their information.

[Variety] Lueling Grass

[Grade] First Order Spiritual Plant (Excellent)

[Maturity] 100%

Chen Jiancang searched over and over again and finally found a special Lueling Grass plant among the Lueling Grass.
