82: Star Rice Seeds

The Star-Patterned Rice seeds looked like small starfruit, but in reality, they were still rice grains.

Lin Yongmao planted the Star-Patterned Rice seeds in the spiritual field and irrigated them with Medium Grade Spiritual Spring water from the Naling Ancient Well.

The Spiritual Wood Art and Spirit Rain Technique were cast one after another, and within a few breaths, the Star-Patterned Rice seeds sprouted.

It was not much different from spiritual rice, except that the plants were a bit sturdier.

Looking at the ripening time, the cycle was also a bit longer.

However, they could be harvested within five days.

Within the World Tree's range, everything was affected by the World Tree's inherent Law of Time, enjoying a time flow rate of 1:100.

"Ding~"

"System Notification: Successfully planted [Star-Patterned Rice Seeds], Second-Order Spiritual Planter proficiency +5."

Lin Yongmao almost forgot.

Now that the System's new feature, Hundred Arts of Cultivation, had been activated, he could increase his Spiritual Plant Master proficiency with every planting.

As long as he continuously expanded the planting area, his Spiritual Plant Master rank could rapidly increase.

Lin Yongmao's current spiritual fields and spiritual plant nurseries already occupied a small area of Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, approximately twenty acres.

However, compared to the Family's Lingzhi Garden, it was a drop in the bucket.

This was unavoidable; all the spiritual fields on Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff where Lin Yongmao was located were managed by him alone.

He also had to spend a lot of time Cultivating and Body Refining every day, so he naturally didn't have unlimited time to expand the spiritual field planting area.

After finishing his work with the spiritual plants, Lin Yongmao began his Alchemy career.

He still couldn't believe it; was Alchemy really that difficult?

Yesterday, he spent almost an entire day, opening the Pill Furnace and refining seven batches of Medicinal Pills, all of which failed.

Actually, he should be grateful that, without any guidance, there was no Pill Furnace explosion; he was already very lucky.

It was still the Bigu Pill, the most common Low Grade first-order Medicinal Pill in the Cultivation world.

Lin Yongmao's concentration was highly focused; a small portion of his attention was on controlling the flames, while most of his attention was on the Spirit Medicine ratios and the condensation of the pill liquid.

"Success!"

A complex and profound magical incantation was cast; this was precisely the incantation for condensing pills.

The pill liquid in the Pill Furnace began to transform from liquid to solid, condensing into the shape of round Medicinal Pills.

When Lin Yongmao withdrew the Nanming Li Fire, four dark Medicinal Pills flowed out of the Pill Furnace.

"Ding~"

"System Notification: Successfully refined [Bigu Pill], proficiency +5, obtained [Low-Quality Bigu Pill] x 4."

Lin Yongmao held the four Bigu Pills in his hand, speechless. What did "Low-Quality Bigu Pill" mean?

However, he quickly felt relieved.

These four Bigu Pills were all dark, and although they should have been round, they were pitted and uneven.

This wasn't even the most fatal part; Lin Yongmao could clearly detect that these Bigu Pills contained a large amount of pill toxins.

The Bigu Pill was originally meant to alleviate hunger for low-level Cultivators and had no effect on improving cultivation; now, with pill toxins, who would dare to eat it?

Even a fool wouldn't eat it!

Throw it to the awakened Moon Toad Rabbit to eat!

However, Lin Yongmao was still very happy inside.

At least he had made great progress; at least this time, pills were successfully produced, no longer a complete failure.

In the following days, Lin Yongmao's time was spent on expanding the spiritual field and refining the most common Bigu Pill.

Of course, Cultivation and Body Refining were not neglected, as cultivation was the foundation of everything.

Time dripped into the flowing water, never to return.

...

Qinglan Sect.

Qingyun Peak, where the Qinglan Sect was located, was also suffering from a beast tide at this moment.

On Qingyun Peak, there was a very miraculous Spiritual Eye Spring, which could continuously flow out spring water containing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Although the quality of this spring water had not yet reached the level of Low Grade Spiritual Spring, it nourished all living creatures on Qingyun Peak.

Therefore, the higher the status of a Cultivator in the Qinglan Sect, the closer their Immortal Cave would be to the peak of Qingyun Peak.

The Utility Disciples, with the lowest status, could only live at the foot of Qingyun Peak.

Since the Qinglan Sect was located in the Qingyang Mountain Range, it was common for Yao Beasts to invade, so many Utility Disciples mysteriously disappeared.

Most of the time, they were eaten by Yao Beasts.

But now, most of the Cultivators of the Qinglan Sect were gathered at the foot of Qingyun Peak, where the Utility Disciples originally lived.

The Qinglan Sect's Sect Protection Formation was also continuously active.

A large number of Yao Beasts were attacking the Qinglan Sect's Sect Protection Formation; the scale of the beast tide here was the largest, with countless Yao Beasts, at least tens of thousands visible at present.

This could be said to be the largest beast tide in recent decades.

Sect Leader Yuan Wang of the Qinglan Sect was in command, his brows tightly furrowed as he uneasily watched the Yao Beast horde outside the Formation.

Especially the Wolf King in the beast tide, its eerie green eyes fixed on Yuan Wang inside the Formation.

After their gazes met, both focused on each other.

Yuan Wang thought to himself: This beast tide was initiated by this Wolf King; if this Wolf King is not dealt with, then the beast tide will not stop.

The Barren Forest Wolf King had the same thought: The strongest Cultivator displayed by this Sect is the one in front of him, and the Formation is also controlled by him; as long as he is defeated, then this Sect will crumble without attack.

However, neither side dared to make the first move.

The higher the level of a Cultivator (Yao Beast), the more they cherished their own lives.

Cultivation itself was not easy, and Cultivating to a higher level meant experiencing more life-and-death crises.

With so many low-level Cultivators (Yao Beasts) who could charge forward and test the other side's strength, why not use them?

Just then, Wang Bufan returned to the Qinglan Sect with several Inner Sect Disciples.

Wang Bufan went directly to Yuan Wang and respectfully greeted him: "Revered Master!"

Yuan Wang nodded faintly: "What is the situation with the various Families now?"

Wang Bufan quickly said: "The beast tide support message was first sent from the Lin Family. According to Revered Master's instructions, we waited a long time to check on the Lin Family's situation, but the Lin Family actually forced back the beast tide from Cloud Mist Mountain.

As for the other Families and Yang City, they should be fighting against the beast tide just like our Qinglan Sect.

There's also one more situation to report to Revered Master: several Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators have appeared in the Lin Family; Lin Yuheng, the Family Head of the Lin Family, has two younger brothers who have both successfully completed Foundation Establishment."

Yuan Wang raised an eyebrow slightly: "You mean the Lin Family has been hiding its strength?"

"That's right!"

Yuan Wang snorted coldly: "As our Qinglan Sect's affiliated Family, they have been so deceitful. And with three Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, they still don't think about contributing to fighting the beast tide. This Lin Family has been living too comfortably lately."

Wang Bufan originally wanted to mention Lin Yongmao's situation, how the hostage sent by the Lin Family feigned death and returned to the Lin Family.

But on second thought, this was just an insignificant Qi Refining Cultivator, so there was no need to report every detail.

Yuan Wang sighed: "The top priority now is not the Lin Family's matter, but the beast tide before us."
