23: Cultivating Cloud Tea

He vaguely remembered that Lin Yongqian, like him, was also a Genius with dual Spiritual Roots.

However, unlike Lin Yongmao's wood and water dual attributes, she possessed water and fire dual attributes.

As long as the Lin Family cultivated Lin Yongmao and Lin Yongqian with all their might, both of them would certainly grow into Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

"Sister Qian'er is truly amazing; it seems that dominating the entire Qingyang Mountain Range in the future will be no problem for her."

Lin Yongqian hesitated, saying, "I don't want to dominate at all. I just like staying within the Family, avoiding all sorts of troubles."

Lin Yongmao was surprised; this younger sister's philosophy unexpectedly aligned with his own.

"My father said that I should honestly Cultivate within the Family and never venture out until I reach the Golden Core Stage."

Originally, she had been influenced by her second uncle, Lin Yumo.

"Good, good, good!"

Lin Yongmao repeated "Good" three times, expressing his approval and admiration.

"Brother Mao, are you here at the Logistics Hall to accept a mission, or to exchange contribution points for Cultivation resources? I'm mainly in charge of this now, so you don't need to find my father; you can just find me."

Lin Yongqian, still with the Heart-Nature of a child, said proudly.

Lin Yongmao also got straight to the point. He said,

"It's like this: I'm here to exchange for a Cloud Mist Tea Tree seed. The Logistics Hall should have some in stock now, right!"

Looking at the dazzling array of Cultivation resources on the Logistics Hall's wall cabinet, Lin Yongmao also spoke with some anticipation.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

"Uh, for that, you'll have to find my father..."

Lin Yongqian's chubby little face flushed slightly. She didn't expect to be immediately contradicted after what she just said. She quickly ran to the back courtyard of the Logistics Hall.

"This girl..."

After about half an incense stick's time, Lin Yumo finally led Qian'er by the hand and came before Lin Yongmao.

"Second Uncle!"

Looking at the handsome middle-aged man before him, Lin Yongmao greeted him politely.

Lin Yumo nodded lightly, acknowledging him.

Lin Yongmao had a good impression of this Second Uncle. Even during Family meetings, he still stood on his side, advocating for the severe punishment of Lin Yukai.

"Are you here to exchange for a Cloud Mist Tea Tree seed?"

Lin Yumo didn't chat with him but went straight to the point.

"Yes, my mother suggested I come and exchange for a seed." Lin Yongmao pushed all of this onto his mother.

At the same time, he carefully observed Lin Yumo. Wasn't it said that this Second Uncle had failed his advancement? Why did he have such a sharp aura about him?

When they were relatively close, Lin Yongmao directly used the Attribute Panel to investigate:

Lin Yumo: Foundation Establishment Early Stage

...

Indeed!

This was a steady player just like himself.

Commonly known as a 'scheming old fox'!

It turned out that the Lin Family not only had Lin Yuheng as a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, but Lin Yumo was also a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

From this perspective, the Lin Family had actually hidden its strength.

Upon closer thought, this indeed made sense. Currently, the Qinglan Sect held a dominant position, and if other Cultivation Families became too outstanding, they would certainly be targeted by the Qinglan Sect.

Lin Yumo spoke indifferently, saying, "Are you sure? Even your mother couldn't Cultivate this Cloud Mist Tea seed. If you take it, it's highly likely to be useless, just a waste of contribution points."

Lin Yumo advised Lin Yongmao; this was a friendly guidance from an elder to a Junior.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, but I've already made up my mind." Lin Yongmao said firmly.

"Alright, I'll go get it for you!"

Lin Yumo went to the back hall and soon reappeared, holding a small jade box in his hand.

The jade box opened, revealing a dark brown seed inside, simple and unadorned, no different from an ordinary tea tree seed.

"Cloud Mist Tea Tree seed, valued at 500 Family contribution points. I will deduct these contribution points from your identity token."

Lin Yongmao handed his Family identity token to Lin Yumo, who then skillfully began the operation.

After receiving the jade box from Lin Yumo, Lin Yongmao prepared to leave.

"Yongmao..."

Lin Yumo called out to Lin Yongmao, then said,

"If you encounter any difficulties, come find Second Uncle. Now that your father has gone hunting, if no one is there to support you, come find me."

Lin Yongmao was a little moved and quickly said, "Okay, thank you, Second Uncle!"

Lin Yongqian also said with a smile, "Brother Mao, don't forget me! You can find me to play together when you're free!"

Lin Yongmao also nodded heavily.

Lin Yongmao did not return home but headed straight for Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, as this was his Foundation after all.

While it was still light, Lin Yongmao planted the Cloud Mist Tea Tree seed not far from the World Tree.

The Family's six-hundred-year-old Cloud Mist Tea Tree was planted on a Low Grade spiritualpulse, and while Lin Yongmao didn't have a spiritualpulse, he did have the World Tree.

Under the influence of the World Tree's Law of Time, all spiritual plants could grow a hundredfold.

After planting the seed, Lin Yongmao cast a Spirit Wood Art.

Coupled with the low-grade spirit soil and the remaining Low Grade spirit spring water, a small tender sprout emerged from the soil in less than an incense stick's time.

"It's done!"

The Cloud Mist Tea Tree, which Han Yuying said was extremely difficult to Cultivate, was successfully cultivated by Lin Yongmao with such ease.

He was confident that in less than ten years, this newly sprouted tender shoot would surpass the six-hundred-year-old Cloud Mist Tea mother plant.

As dusk fell, Lin Yongmao returned to his stone house and resumed his Cultivation.

Next, he only needed to focus on his Cultivation and not worry about other matters.

As long as there were no problems in the Family, he could rest assured and Cultivate and plant Spirit Medicine here.

As for Lin Yongrong's matter, it could also be put aside for now. After the incident with Lin Yukai, he certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly at the moment.

"Such days are truly comfortable!"

Lin Yongmao Cultivated until the latter half of the night, then climbed onto his stone bed, lay down in a "big" shape, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

"System, I want to sign in!"

"Sign-in successful. Congratulations, you have received [low-grade spirit spring water] × 1."

As expected, all subsequent sign-in rewards would be Low Grade spirit spring water.

Lin Yongmao did not use the Low Grade spirit spring water to irrigate the spiritual rice, for no other reason than they weren't worthy.

Although the yield of spiritual rice was very high and its growth cycle extremely short, it wasn't a very valuable spiritual plant itself. While spiritual rice could be exchanged for a large amount of Cultivation resources, its cost-effectiveness was not high.

"It seems I still need to find a new spiritual plant that can both sell for a good price and be compatible with the spirit spring water."

However, the current reserves of spirit spring water were not very abundant, so they could be used to irrigate Hallucination Heart Flower, Sword Soul Grass, blood-stopping vine, and Cloud Mist Tea.

He had previously planted some spirit gathering grass, but after harvesting one batch, he hadn't planted any more.

spirit gathering grass was fodder for Spirit Beasts, and Lin Yongmao did not raise any Spirit Beasts, so there was no need to plant it again.

"For new spiritual plant seeds, I can ask my father to inquire at the market. I'll just continue to stay on Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff!"

Although Lin Yongmao was somewhat curious about the outside world, he was even more afraid of death!

The Immortal Realm was a place filled with blood and gore.
