145: Chapter 145 Plants grow with the sun

"Your subordinate, Chen Jun, greets you!" Chen Jun quickly walked up to Wang Bin, his face full of respect, and bowed deeply.

He knew clearly that for Huang Youcai to successfully Foundation Establishment, the City Lord had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

Thinking about himself in the past, he was truly foolish, only thinking about returning to his School; now that he thought about it, that was probably one of the reasons why his previous Foundation Establishment failed.

"Rise," Wang Bin's voice was calm and gentle.

"Youcai has successfully Foundation Establishment, how about you, how is your body recovering?"

Chen Jun straightened up, a hint of joy appearing on his face, and quickly replied:

"Thanks to the Rejuvenation Pill and Mind Nourishing Pill bestowed by the City Lord, my body has long since recovered to its original state, reaching its Peak condition.

This time, your subordinate is determined to once again attempt to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, I humbly request the City Lord to grant it!"

"Good!"

A hint of approval flashed in Wang Bin's eyes, "All the necessary items have been prepared for you.

Here are a few Foundation Establishment insights from predecessors, all valuable experiences; you should study them carefully first.

There are also essential items like the Foundation Establishment Pill and Spirit Liquid, and I specifically prepared a Blood Qi Pill for you, which will be very useful for your next attempt at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

This time, regardless of success or failure, you must meticulously record the insights gained during the process; this will also serve as a reference for future generations.

After you hand over the city's patrol duties, go to Foundation Establishment Cultivation Room No. 3 for secluded Breakthrough."

Saying that, Wang Bin handed the prepared Medicinal Pill to Chen Jun.

Chen Jun received it with both hands, his eyes full of excitement, and after bowing to Wang Bin again, he turned and strode towards Foundation Establishment Cultivation Room No. 3.

Wang Bin watched Chen Jun's departing back, pondering to himself:

As long as Chen Jun and Du Xiaoyue also successfully Foundation Establishment, then White Cloud City will have four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and its strength will definitely increase significantly.

However, there will also be many problems that follow, for example, White Cloud City's existing Second-Grade Spirit Vein is somewhat insufficient.

It seems I need to accelerate the research on the solar energy conversion array; otherwise, I can only find ways to acquire a few Spiritual Veins, but how easy is that?

In this Cultivation World, Spiritual Veins are highly sought after by various forces; getting them is no ordinary feat.

Previously, Wang Bin sent Huang Youcai to West Sea City to buy tens of thousands of kilograms of gold from Du Juan.

Afterward, he spent several months meticulously refining this gold into lightning rods and two sturdy frames, preparing for the subsequent Golden Core Tribulation.

Now, everything was ready; his Physical Body and Spiritual Qi had both reached Foundation Establishment Completion, but the first layer of the Star Observation Art was not yet at Perfection.

However, his Divine Sense could now clearly perceive anything within a thousand-meter radius, and even things beyond a thousand meters could be seen relatively clearly.

He estimated that his Divine Sense should have also reached the Foundation Establishment Completion level; the Divine Sense's detection distance was rigidly stuck at one thousand meters, unable to cross even one more meter, which must be the limit for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

To Breakthrough further above that would be the Divine Sense Realm of a Golden Core cultivator.

Wang Bin felt that for now, this Divine Sense ability was sufficient for Breakthrough to Golden Core; he just needed to wait for Du Xiaoyue to come out of seclusion, and then he could go to West Sea City to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.

He roughly estimated the time; Du Xiaoyue would still need a few months to come out of seclusion.

During this period, he must remain in White Cloud City to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

But he also didn't want to waste this time, so he planned to spend an hour each day Cultivating the Star Observation Art to improve his own strength.

The Star Observation Art could still be Cultivated, and he also pondered the Will that Chu Qingluan spoke of at the Golden Core Grand Ceremony.

If he could comprehend the Wood Attribute Will, he might be able to attempt to reach a High Grade Golden Core.

The Wood Attribute clearly corresponds to plants, and the characteristic of plants is their long lifespan.

Life Qi is endless; plants grow by the sun; plants perform photosynthesis by basking in the sun.

Wait! Why can plants perform photosynthesis?

He seemed to have learned this in middle School Biology; with his current Foundation Establishment Completion Divine Sense.

He could already meticulously recall everything he had seen in his previous life.

Wait! Why can plants perform photosynthesis?

He seemed to have learned this in middle School Biology; with his current Foundation Establishment Completion Divine Sense.

He could already meticulously recall everything he had seen in his previous life.

As Wang Bin recalled, a passage of text also appeared in his mind.

Chloroplasts in plant cells contain photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll (including chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b) and carotenoids (including carotene and xanthophyll).

Chlorophyll can absorb light energy, with chlorophyll a mainly absorbing blue-violet light and red light, and chlorophyll b mainly absorbing blue light and orange light; they absorb the least green light, which is why plant leaves usually appear green.

Carotenoids can absorb blue-violet light and protect chlorophyll from damage by strong light.

These photosynthetic pigments are like small "light energy traps," allowing plants to absorb and utilize light energy.

Wang Bin looked at this knowledge and fell into contemplation.

In his previous life, he was too ordinary, and he had no ability to verify the knowledge in books.

The book says the Earth is round, is the Earth really round?

Of course, these boring thoughts flashed by; plants can use sunlight to perform photosynthesis, providing energy for their own growth.

Plants in the Cultivation World should be similar, even if the Cultivation World has more Spiritual Qi.

This allowed many ordinary plants to evolve into Spirit Medicine, Spiritual Plant, and Yao Beast.

It allowed animals to evolve into Yao Beast, and humans also practiced martial arts and Cultivation to adapt to the environment.

But essentially, it should not have changed; Spirit Medicine should also retain the function of photosynthesis.

However, he is a human; he does not have the necessary various chlorophylls and other things to produce photosynthesis.

What humans evolved was a Spiritual Root, but he has a Wood Attribute Spiritual Root.

It doesn't seem impossible; he could research it, and in the Cultivation World, there are also plants that Awaken sentience and become Yao Beast.

Plant Yao Beast must also have Cultivation Technique; as long as he finds the Cultivation Technique of the Wood Attribute Yao Race and studies it.

He could even capture a few Wood Yao and examine their bodies, which might solve the doubts in his mind.

So, Wang Bin's focus next was to Cultivate the Star Observation Art for one hour every day, and spend the rest of the time researching the photosynthesis of plants in the Cultivation World and how Spirit Medicine grows.

He had never thought about these things before, only knowing what effect a several-hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine could have.

It seems he also needs to learn the profession of Alchemist; indeed, knowledge is his greatest wealth since Transmigration.

Time slowly passed as Wang Bin researched plants and studied Alchemy.

One day, Wang Bin was sitting quietly in his room when suddenly, his heart stirred, and he keenly caught a faint aura unique to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator emanating from the backyard.

The appearance of this aura instantly made his eyes light up, and a brilliant smile bloomed on his face.

He silently used his Divine Sense, like an invisible tentacle reaching backward, and quickly confirmed that the owner of this aura was Du Xiaoyue.

At this moment, she was carefully concealing her aura, tiptoeing slowly towards him, looking like a child planning a big surprise.

Wang Bin found it amusing, so he decided to remain still and pretend to be unaware of everything; he wanted to see what kind of trick this little girl, Du Xiaoyue, was planning.

Du Xiaoyue walked cautiously all the way, finally arriving outside Wang Bin's room.

She first stood there, took a deep breath, as if steeling herself, then deliberately cleared her throat and coughed softly.

Then, she suddenly pushed open the door, rushing in like a cheerful little bird, her face beaming with an almost luminous excitement, and shouted loudly:

"Husband, aren't you surprised, aren't you amazed? I've successfully Foundation Establishment!

Haha, from now on, I'm also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator! And I feel like I've been reborn, as if I've suddenly become many years younger!"

Wang Bin looked at her overjoyed and gesticulating appearance, and quickly cooperated by putting on an extremely surprised expression, saying:

"Wow, this is truly amazing! Xiaoyue! Congratulations! I knew you could do it; your efforts all these years were not in vain."

Du Xiaoyue ran to Wang Bin with a giggle, tightly linking her arms through his, and said coquettishly:

"Alright, I knew you had already discovered me; my Divine Sense is much stronger now than before."

At this moment, the excitement in her heart was simply too overwhelming to suppress.

After all, for this day, she had Cultivated tirelessly for decades, persevering day after day.

Now, she had finally entered the long-desired Foundation Establishment Realm as she wished; this joy was like a bursting flood, instantly engulfing her,

making her unable to even pretend to be angry; the smile on her lips uncontrollably spread, unable to be suppressed.
