28: Sign in for 100 days

Stepping into the mine tunnel, it wasn't the pitch black darkness one might have expected.

Shining Spirit Stones were visible on the surrounding rock walls, emitting light.

Unfortunately, these Spirit Stones had not yet fully formed.

The light from these Spirit Stones was colorful, which was quite magical.

Generally speaking, a Spirit Stone ore vein has a single attribute because the composition of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi varies, leading to the Formation of corresponding attribute ore veins.

However, because the Spirit Stone ore vein Lin Yongmao signed in for was provided by the System, it was surprisingly a Five Elements attribute Spirit Stone ore vein, meaning that Spirit Stones of any attribute could be mined.

Lin Yongmao quickly found a suitable place to mine, took out the “Bronze Hoe” from his Sea of Consciousness, and began to dig.

The Bronze Hoe had a mysterious origin, and his sign-in System was activated thanks to it.

It now resided in his Sea of Consciousness and was usually used for loosening soil in Spirit fields.

Since he didn't have a handy mining pick, he simply used it instead.

Aside from the Bronze Hoe itself, in terms of hardness alone, no Magical Artifact or Spiritual Artifact should be able to destroy it; it was just too rusted to be suitable as a Magical Artifact.

Lin Yongmao dug with the Bronze Hoe, spending over an hour to finish mining today's quota of Spirit Stones.

Six hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones and three Medium-Grade Spirit Stones.

Among them, he didn't care for the six hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones of various attributes, but the three Medium-Grade Spirit Stones were extremely precious.

Two of the three Medium-Grade Spirit Stones were fire attribute, and one was earth attribute.

Theoretically, one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones are equivalent to one Medium-Grade Spirit Stone, and one hundred Medium-Grade Spirit Stones are equivalent to one High-Grade Spirit Stone.

However, in reality, the exchange ratio is much higher; generally, in the market, one Medium-Grade Spirit Stone requires about one hundred twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones to exchange for.

Lin Yongmao's reserves of Medium-Grade Spirit Stones were not very abundant.

Many high-level Formations require Medium-Grade Spirit Stones to activate, and Medium-Grade Spirit Stones also have better auxiliary Cultivate effects.

Now, being able to consistently obtain three Medium-Grade Spirit Stones daily is completely sufficient for operating the All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers Formation and for his own Cultivate.

"It's just too tiring to mine every day; it seems I need to find a trustworthy helper."

"Oh, right, some Spirit Beasts can be specially used for mining; perhaps raising such a Spirit Beast would be better."

There are many secrets on Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, and Lin Yongmao didn't want outsiders to easily enter Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

Aside from his parents, he would not allow anyone else to enter the Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff area, not even the Clan Chief.

From then on, in addition to Cultivate and cultivating spiritual plants, Lin Yongmao had another job: mining.

Watching his Cultivate resource reserves grow and his cultivation slowly increase, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

The biggest problem now, however, was how to sell these resources.

Before he had enough strength, these things were like hot potatoes.

An innocent man is guilty only for possessing a treasure!

Once someone discovers that you have resources that don't match your strength, disaster will strike.

Therefore, he decided that instead of taking the risk, it would be better to store them first.

He would wait until he had sufficient strength before selling these items.

When Han Yuying came over, Lin Yongmao asked her about Spirit Beasts for mining ore veins, but Han Yuying had no clue either.

Asking a Spiritual Plant Master about these things was indeed asking the wrong person, but Han Yuying promised to ask others.

Ten days passed in a flash, and today was a very special day.

One hundred days of sign-in completed!

Completing one hundred days of sign-in would grant a five-fold critical strike, meaning the quality of items obtained from the sign-in would be far superior to previous times.

Lin Yongmao got up early, even bathing and burning incense.

There was no other way; at such a critical moment, he had to dabble in some metaphysics.

If there was anything that could temporarily boost his Luck, he would not hesitate to bring it along.

Lin Yongmao clasped his hands together and devoutly shouted:

"System, I want to sign in!"

"Sign-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining [Thousand-Year spiritual plant Cultivation Agent] x2."

"Thousand-Year spiritual plant Cultivation Agent? Does that mean it can make a spiritual plant instantly reach a thousand years?"

Opening the 【Attribute Panel】, Lin Yongmao observed its information:

【Thousand-Year spiritual plant Cultivation Agent】:

Grade: Third Tier

Description: Injecting the cultivation agent into a spiritual plant can cause the spiritual plant to grow to a thousand years in a short period, possessing the efficacy of a thousand-year spiritual plant.

Note: Each spiritual plant can only be used once.

Just as expected!

And there were two bottles of such cultivation agent.

It seemed he needed to think carefully about which two spiritual plants to use these two bottles of cultivation agent on.

World Tree Sapling? No, it's Divine-Grade and has long since transcended the category of spiritual plants.

sword soul grass? Also no, the sword soul grass's ability is related to the number of its leaves; simply increasing its age doesn't have a significant effect.

Cloud Mist Tea Tree? This is a good choice.

The Family's six-hundred-year-old Cloud Mist Tea already had such good efficacy; how precious would a thousand-year cloud mist tea be?

purple jade fruit tree? This is also possible.

After all, the purple jade fruit tree is one of the important Materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pill; as long as the fruit tree reaches a thousand years, it will definitely bear fruit successfully.

Ultimately, Lin Yongmao decided to use the two bottles of 【Thousand-Year spiritual plant Cultivation Agent】 on the purple jade fruit tree sapling and the Cloud Mist Tea Tree sapling.

The cultivation agent didn't seem like a product of the immortal cultivation world; it was full of futuristic technology.

Lin Yongmao injected the cultivation agent into the young trees' plants, and within a few breaths, the two young trees had absorbed all the nutrients within.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The plants began to grow wildly, constantly sprouting new buds, which grew into branches, then into main branches, and finally into old main branches.

One meter!

Two meters!

Three meters!

Still growing…

The purple jade fruit tree instantly became the tallest spiritual plant nearby, and it also awakened its spiritual intelligence. Lin Yongmao could communicate with it using 【spiritual plant Perception】.

"Master…"

The purple jade fruit tree ultimately grew to a height of three and a half meters, with lush green leaves that covered the sky, yet it looked no different from an ordinary tree.

Lin Yongmao asked in surprise, "You've already grown to a thousand years, but why haven't you bloomed and borne fruit?"

The purple jade fruit tree replied, "I have learned to control my blooming and fruiting. Bearing fruit consumes a large amount of my own energy, so I will not bear fruit unless absolutely necessary."

So that's how it is!

Many spiritual plants that develop spiritual intelligence become like this. At such times, a Spiritual Plant Master is needed; they will use certain methods to force the spiritual plant to bear fruit.

However, Lin Yongmao didn't need to go to such trouble. He directly said, "Then bear fruit once now. Afterward, I will water you with Spirit Spring water as compensation."

The purple jade fruit tree did not refuse. Growing here, everything was up to Lin Yongmao, and it was very close to Lin Yongmao.

So the branches swayed a few times, and then began to produce light purple flower buds.
