216: Spiritual Plant Evolution Liquid, Dragon Scale Fruit

Over three months, Lin Yongmao signed in three times, and all three times had double critical strikes.

He obtained three items: [spiritual plant Evolution Fluid], [Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk], and [Third-Order Greenwood Qi Gathering Formation].

[spiritual plant Evolution Fluid]:

Grade: Third-Order High Grade

Description: Can be used on Thousand-Year spiritual plants. After use, there is a high probability of causing the spiritual plant to evolve, and one aspect of the spiritual plant's performance will be enhanced.

In short, it is an enhanced version of [Grass and Wood Have Spirits].

However, [Grass and Wood Have Spirits] can be applied to any spiritual plant, regardless of age or grade, but the probability is not high.

For such a long time, the only spiritual plant that underwent a beneficial mutation was the blood-stopping vine, which mutated into a Blood Qi Vine.

Lin Yongmao poured this bottle of spiritual plant Evolution Fluid onto the Thousand-Year Serpent Scale Fruit Tree, and the Thousand-Year Serpent Scale Fruit Tree quickly underwent a change.

The original fruit tree grew about two zhang taller, reaching a height similar to the Thousand-Year Purple Jade Fruit Tree.

The fruits it bore were no longer black serpent-scale patterned fruits, but instead transformed into golden-scaled fruits.

[Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit Tree]:

Grade: Third-Order High Grade

Description: Like the Serpent Scale Fruit, the Dragon Scale Fruit is also a favorite of some Yao Beasts. Eating it can enhance Physique and Physical Body strength, and the effect is even better. Cultivators need to refine it in a special way, otherwise there is a risk of exploding and dying.

After being nurtured by the spiritual plant Evolution Fluid, the Thousand-Year Serpent Scale Fruit Tree evolved into a Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit Tree. Although its grade did not change, its effect was much better.

The second item signed for was Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk. This was another ten-thousand-year item, the last one having been a bug exploit.

[Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk]:

Grade: Fourth-Order Low Grade

Description: A drop of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk drips from a Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Stalactite every hundred years. Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk can significantly boost the cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and Fourth-Order Yao Beasts.

Although it was a good item, Lin Yongmao currently had no use for it. Using it at the Nascent Soul Stage would maximize its benefits.

Therefore, he put away this large bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.

The last item obtained from the sign-in was also a complete set of Formation tools—the Third-Order Greenwood Qi Gathering Formation.

[Greenwood Qi Gathering Formation]:

Grade: Third-Order High Grade

Description: The Greenwood Qi Gathering Formation can gather pure wood-attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Wood-attribute Cultivators cultivating within it can increase their cultivation speed by 30%, and spiritual plants growing within it can increase their growth speed by 50%.

Note: Special spiritual plants are excluded.

On the contrary, the third item was the most useful. This Greenwood Qi Gathering Formation was also a type of Qi Gathering Formation. Although Lin Yongmao was a Third-Order Formation Master, he couldn't set up this Formation at all due to the lack of corresponding Formation patterns.

The characteristics of the Third-Order Greenwood Qi Gathering Formation were very suitable for Lin Yongmao. Not only could it enhance his cultivation speed, but it could also greatly promote the growth of spiritual plants.

Especially when paired with the World Tree, Hundred-Year spiritual plants could almost be cultivated in a few months.

The coverage of the Greenwood Qi Gathering Formation was also very large, enough to cover the entire Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

...

Lin Yongmao descended Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff and arrived at the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain.

Two Formations were originally set up here, both were the Lin Family's protective Formations, but unfortunately, they were damaged in the previous fierce battle.

The two Formations were [Cloud Sky Spirit Array] and [Mountain River Qi Gathering Formation].

These two Formations were originally only Second-Order Formations, but at critical moments, they could resist the invasion of Golden Core stage individuals, showing their great contribution to the Lin Family.

In the battle with the female Devil Head Liu Wanyi, both Formations were clearly damaged.

Since the Lin Family had no Second-Order Formation Master, these two Formations had not been repaired for a long time.

The Formation bases were still placed at the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain, guarded by a Cultivator specially assigned there, as they were Second-Order Formations and thus of relatively high value.

This was a young Cultivator, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old, with a very delicate appearance.

Lin Yongmao swept him with his Divine Sense and found his cultivation was at Qi Refinement Stage, third level.

Seeing Lin Yongmao walk over, he greeted him warmly, “Brother Yongmao, why are you here? Are you going down the mountain?”

Lin Yongmao smiled and shook his head, trying to recall his name.

Lin Yongmao was known by everyone in the Lin Family; he was a meritorious official of the Lin Family, and no Lin Family member didn't recognize him.

As if sensing Lin Yongmao's confusion, the young Cultivator proactively said, “Brother Yongmao, it's me, I'm Lin Yongyi!”

Only then did Lin Yongmao remember that Lin Yongyi was Lin Yuheng's youngest son.

But he was different from Lin Yongrong; Lin Yongrong was born to the legitimate wife Han Yuxiu, while Lin Yongyi was born to Lin Yuheng's concubine.

Lin Yuheng, as the Clan Chief, had put a lot of effort into ensuring the continuation of the Family's lineage.

Seeing Yongyi greet him so enthusiastically, Lin Yongmao, as his elder cousin, politely responded, saying, “Yongyi, why are you here?”

Lin Yongyi said earnestly, “I'm studying Formations. The Family's two Formations were damaged, so I'm seeing if there's a way to repair them.”

Lin Yongmao smiled and said, “Yongyi, these are Second-Order Formations; only a Second-Order Formation Master can repair them. Moreover, the prerequisite for becoming a Formation Master is to be an Artifact Refiner. What stage have you reached now?”

Lin Yongyi was not disheartened by his cousin's words; he knew his cousin was speaking the truth.

“Although my cultivation is only at Qi Refinement Stage, third level, that's because I've spent most of my time researching Artifact Refining and Formations. I'm already a First-Order Artifact Refiner now, and I'll soon be able to enter the Formation Master Dao,” Lin Yongyi said with a hint of defiance.

Lin Yongmao used the [Attribute Panel] to check his information, and indeed, he was a First-Order Artifact Refiner. The Family now had another First-Order Artifact Refiner.

It was just that his Spiritual Root Aptitude was truly average, a mixed Spiritual Root with four attributes: metal, wood, fire, and earth. Cultivating with this was indeed difficult!

No wonder the Family was unwilling to spend resources to Cultivate him.

And no wonder he spent more time on Artifact Refining and Formations; this was to demonstrate his own value!

However, Lin Yongmao thought very highly of Lin Yongyi. He patted his Storage Pouch, and bottles and jars appeared in his hand, about twenty-odd bottles.

“These are all gifts from your cousin!”

Lin Yongmao thought for a moment, then took out two Jade Slips from his Storage Pouch, which were the “Third-Order Artifact Refiner Legacy” and the “Third-Order Formation Master Legacy.”

Those Medicinal Pills were all Upper-Grade Qi Condensation Pills, and among them were five Upper-Grade Foundation Establishment Pills, which should be enough for him to Foundation Establishment.

If Lin Yongyi successfully became a Second-Order Formation Master, then in the future, the Family's Formations would no longer need to be maintained by outsiders, or by Lin Yongmao himself.

“I can't accept them, Cousin, these are too precious!”

Lin Yongyi's eyes were clearly sparkling, but he didn't dare to accept them.

He thought of his biological brother, Lin Yongrong. Although they were both brothers, his biological brother didn't care about him at all and would even snatch his resources.

According to Lin Yongrong, since he had a four-attribute mixed Spiritual Root anyway, there was no point in using Medicinal Pills.

“Take them if I give them to you!” Lin Yongmao shoved the Medicinal Pills and Jade Slips into his hand, insisting that he must accept them.
