22: Chapter 22: Earth Power Pills Work Wonderfully

Chen Jiancang turned and left.

Currently, all the Materials for the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet were ready, but the green wood marrow needed for the Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array was still nowhere to be found.

"I can only collect it slowly."

Although green wood marrow was rare, it could still be found if one put in the effort, so Chen Jiancang was not in a hurry.

After all, the Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array also required a Formation Master to set it up, and he currently didn't have the spiritual stones to hire one.

"Fortunately, the Materials for the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet are all ready, so I can try to see if it can improve the Spirit Field's earth vigor first," Chen Jiancang thought to himself.

When he returned to his residence, he saw Chen Jianyun dancing with a long sword, as light and graceful as a startled swan.

The blade shimmered with cold light in the sunlight, complementing her agile posture.

Each swing, turn, and leap of the sword brought forth sharp Sword Qi, causing the surrounding air to rustle.

Chen Jiancang couldn't help but stop, his eyes filled with admiration.

Only when Chen Jianyun stopped and stood with her sword did he applaud with a smile: "Yun Mei, I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so exquisite."

Chen Jianyun had no Spiritual Roots and could only practice Mortal martial arts.

Seeing her today, he realized that her martial arts cultivation was not to be underestimated; in the Mortal world, she could be considered a founding ancestor.

Chen Jianyun's cheeks flushed red, and the wisps of hair on her forehead were wet with sweat.

Hearing Chen Jiancang's praise, her eyes curved, revealing two shallow dimples: "Cang-ge, you weren't here when I came over.

Did you go out so early for something?"

Chen Jiancang walked closer with a smile, sat on the stone chair, and said, "I went to the Market to buy some Materials.

I didn't have time to tell Yun Mei, please don't mind."

Chen Jianyun blinked playfully, "Cang-ge had important matters to attend to, why would I blame you?

Instead, I've disturbed your peace.

Oh, right, what Materials did you buy?

Are they related to cultivation?"

Chen Jiancang shook his head and told her about the issue of the Spirit Field's lack of earth vigor, as well as the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet and the Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array.

Chen Jianyun listened intently, her eyes filled with curiosity and concern.

"So that's how it is.

Although this green wood marrow is hard to find, as long as you put in the effort, you'll eventually find it.

It's just the spiritual stones to hire a Formation Master..."

Chen Jianyun furrowed her delicate brows, biting her lower lip slightly, and said with a worried expression, "Cang-ge, we will find a way to return the 50 spiritual stones you lent to my father as soon as possible."

Chen Jiancang waved his hand, his expression gentle: "Yun Mei, don't worry about this matter.

Those spiritual stones are just a drop in the bucket for me.

Your father also took care of me a lot back then.

Now that he is in difficulty, I should naturally help him out."

"Moreover, I already have a plan in mind.

Don't worry."

Qin Huai was penniless now.

If he was anxious to return the spiritual stones, he would have to venture into the Qingya Mountain Range again.

If something unexpected happened again, how could Chen Jiancang face Chen Jianyun?

"Alas, if the spiritual stones are not enough, I'll just have to contribute the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill," Chen Jiancang thought to himself.

However, unless absolutely necessary, Chen Jiancang still wanted to hide the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill formula for a while longer.

Chen Jianyun, however, shook her head stubbornly: "Cang-ge, one matter is one matter.

We will remember this kindness.

I will urge my father to return it to you as soon as possible."

Then her eyes shifted, "Cang-ge, I haven't seen the refining of the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet yet.

I only know that ordinary Mortal farmers will make compost to increase the earth vigor of the land."

"I imagine the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet used for Spirit Fields must be much more mysterious to refine.

Can I watch from the side?"

Chen Jiancang looked at her expectant eyes and couldn't bear to refuse.

He smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Yun Mei, you can watch from the side, but when refining, you need to concentrate fully, and there can't be too many distractions around.

You must not make a sound to disturb me."

"Cang-ge, don't worry, I will definitely not disturb you."

Chen Jianyun was already very interested in the matters of immortal cultivation, but unfortunately, she had no Spiritual Roots.

Today, having the opportunity to observe, she was naturally overjoyed.

Chen Jiancang led Chen Jianyun to the courtyard.

Refining the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet was not like refining pills, which used small, delicate Pill Furnaces.

Chen Jiancang found the iron pot he used to steam qinghe rice before.

This iron pot had been idle since he was able to refine Qinghe Bigu Pills.

He placed the iron pot on the stone platform, brought firewood, and lit the fire.

According to the detailed refining record in the "Essentials of Spiritual Plant Earth Vigor Improvement," he first poured ten catties of thousand pine humus soil into the pot.

The humus soil carried an old but vibrant aura and spread out on the bottom of the pot.

As he circulated his spiritual power, the flames flared up.

Pale blue flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the humus soil gradually heated up, emitting wisps of light green smoke, which was a sign that Impurities were being removed.

Next, Chen Jiancang picked up the red phosphorus stone.

This stone was vividly colored like blood and hard in texture.

He used his spiritual power to grind it into powder and sprinkled it evenly over the humus soil.

The moment the powder touched the humus soil, it made a faint "sizzling" sound, and the two began to slowly merge.

Chen Jiancang held a spatula and kept stirring.

Although it was his first time refining, his movements were skilled and steady.

Subsequently, yellow heart soil was also added to it.

yellow heart soil was fine in texture, as smooth as butter.

After entering the pot, the originally darker colored mixture instantly became oily and shiny.

Various Materials continuously blended and reacted under high temperature, emitting a peculiar smell, with the richness of soil and the sharpness of minerals.

Chen Jianyun stood beside him, her eyes wide, watching this magical process without blinking.

She couldn't help but whisper, "Cang-ge, this is too wonderful."

Chen Jiancang glanced at her, smiled slightly, and signaled her to keep quiet.

Next was the iron phosphorus wood.

iron phosphorus wood was hard in texture, and Chen Jiancang first cut it into small pieces.

As soon as these pieces entered the pot, they seemed to be endowed with life, moving and intertwining among the other Materials.

Chen Jiancang increased the heat, and the mixture in the pot began to churn violently, flashing with light.

After being ground into powder, the spiritual clam shell, carrying a faint smell of the sea, was added to it.

Its addition made the mixture in the pot thicker.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from Chen Jiancang's forehead, and his hand controlling the spiritual power trembled slightly, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Finally, Chen Jiancang slowly poured the purple crystal marrow into the pot.

The purple crystal marrow melted into a crystal-clear purple liquid when heated, quickly spreading among the other Materials, instantly dyeing the entire mixture purple.

As he continued to stir, the purple color became deeper.

Chen Jiancang focused intently on the changes in the pot.

He constantly adjusted the heat and the speed of stirring.

Finally, the mixture in the pot was no longer a thick liquid, but gradually condensed into tiny granules.

These granules shimmered with a faint spiritual light, which were the Earth Vigor Growing Pellets.

Chen Jiancang stopped stirring and gently poured the Earth Vigor Growing Pellets out of the pot into a container beside it to cool.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, a relieved smile on his face.

Chen Jianyun looked at the small particles emitting strange light and exclaimed, "Cang-ge, you are amazing!

These Earth Vigor Growing Pellets look very extraordinary."

Chen Jiancang said, "I still need to test the effect in the Spirit Field."

Chen Jiancang could only refine ten catties of Earth Vigor Growing Pellets in one pot, which was far from enough for the Spirit Field.

If he could only refine this much in each pot, it would be a huge project to refine a sufficient quantity.

"Let's try the effect first.

If it is useful, I will prepare a much larger pot, and refining will be much faster."

Chen Jiancang put the ten catties of refined Earth Vigor Growing Pellets into his storage bag and took Chen Jianyun with him, heading towards Plot 30 Spiritual Field.

Along the way, Chen Jianyun was surprised to hear that Chen Jiancang still had a Spirit Field.

After all, in the past year, Chen Jiancang's parents had passed away, and he had gradually taken over the two mu of Spirit Fields left by his parents with the help of the clan members.

Now, hearing this information suddenly, Chen Jianyun was still surprised.

However, she didn't say much, after all, everyone had their own secrets.

Plot 30 Spiritual Field was hidden in the clouds and mist, with golden light flickering inside.

The Golden Light Array was operating at all times.

Chen Jiancang held the Formation token and shook it at the entrance.

The clouds and mist dissipated, revealing a passage.

"Cang-ge, is this your Spirit Field?"

Chen Jianyun asked in surprise.

Chen Jiancang smiled and nodded, saying to Chen Jianyun, "That's right, this is the Spirit Field I newly purchased."

"I mentioned to you before that I was rewarded with some contribution points for contributing a new cultivation plan for qinghe rice to the clan."

"I exchanged contribution points for this Spirit Field and set up a Formation."

After saying that, he led Chen Jianyun slowly into the Spirit Field along the passage.

The moment they stepped into the Spirit Field, with the blessing of the Gathering Spirit Array, a spiritual energy denser than the outside environment rushed towards them.

Although it was not as dense as the spiritual energy of the Main Spiritual Vein, it was not far off.

Chen Jiancang looked around, looking at the half mu of gray, hardened Spirit Field, his heart filled with anticipation and worry.

He was looking forward to the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet working wonders and revitalizing the earth vigor of this Spirit Field.

But he was also worried that if the effect of the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet was not good, he would have to speed up and spend more energy to find green wood marrow and try the Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array to solve the problem of earth vigor loss.

Chen Jianyun also looked around curiously, only to see that although the spiritual plants in the fields in other locations had just sprouted, they contained vigorous vitality.

But the half mu of Spirit Field in front of them had cracked soil and poor earth vigor.

"Cang-ge, this Spirit Field doesn't look very good," Chen Jianyun said softly.

"Yes, that's why I was in a hurry to refine the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet."

As Chen Jiancang spoke, he took out the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet from his storage bag.

He evenly sprinkled the Earth Vigor Growing Pellets on an area of land one zhang square in the Spirit Field.

After scattering them, Chen Jiancang formed hand seals, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and drew in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

A small rain containing spiritual energy accurately fell on this Spirit Field.

As his spiritual rain was injected, the Earth Vigor Growing Pellets gradually melted, spreading slowly in the soil with the spiritual rain like ripples.

Chen Jianyun stared at the Spirit Field nervously, not blinking, afraid of missing any change.

Time passed minute by minute, and the Spirit Field did not seem to have any obvious changes.

Chen Jianyun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and was just about to speak to comfort Chen Jiancang.

But she suddenly found that the soil of the Spirit Field began to tremble slightly.

She saw that the liquid from the melted Earth Vigor Growing Pellet combined with the soil and quickly expanded.

Immediately after, the hardened gray soil slowly loosened, like cracked earth after a long drought, greedily absorbing the vitality brought by the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet.

At first, the loosening movement was extremely slow, as if bound by an invisible force, but as the spiritual rain was continuously injected, the changes in the soil became more and more obvious.

Tiny particles began to loosen and separate, no longer tightly squeezed together.

The clumps of soil that were originally tightly stuck together gradually disintegrated into fine powder, shimmering with an unusual luster in the faint light.

Tiny bubbles occasionally emerged from the soil, making a faint "plop plop" sound, as if the earth was breathing comfortably.

As the soil loosened, a rich and fresh earthy fragrance permeated the air, completely different from the previous dull, decaying, and lifeless aura.

In this fragrance, there seemed to be a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Chen Jiancang observed with full concentration.

He found that as the soil loosened, its color was also quietly changing.

From a monotonous gray, it gradually took on a faint bluish-green hue.

This bluish-green color spread outward like ripples, becoming increasinglyRich, as if life was growing vigorously within it.

And Chen Jianyun was already stunned.

She couldn't help but squat down and gently touch the loosened soil with her hand.

"Cang-ge, this change is too magical!"

Chen Jianyun exclaimed, her eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

Chen Jiancang nodded slightly, a surprised smile also appearing on his face.

Looking at the revitalized Spirit Field, the joy in his heart was indescribable.

"It seems that this Earth Vigor Growing Pellet is really effective!"

Chen Jiancang said excitedly.

After confirming that the Earth Vigor Growing Pellet had a significant effect, Chen Jiancang immediately decided to refine enough pills to cover the entire Spirit Field as soon as possible.

Back at his residence, he immediately set about preparing for the second refining.

This time, he specifically found a larger iron pot and greatly increased the required Materials proportionally.

Chen Jianyun helped from the side.

Although she could not directly participate in the refining, she concentrated on organizing the Materials and handing Chen Jiancang the items he needed, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation for this magical process.

As the furnace fire burned fiercely, Chen Jiancang concentrated fully on the refining.

This time, due to the increased amount of Materials, the difficulty also increased.

Each step required more precise control.

But relying on the experience from the first refining, he orderly added the thousand pine humus soil, red phosphorus stone powder, yellow heart soil, and other Materials into the pot one by one.

During the stirring process, the consumption of spiritual power was faster than last time.

Chen Jiancang's forehead was quickly covered with sweat, and his arms also felt slightly sore from the long period of stirring.

But he gritted his teeth, his eyes always fixed on the constantly changing mixture in the pot.

After a long and tense refining process, a considerable amount of Earth Vigor Growing Pellets was finally refined successfully.

Looking at the pills that emitted a faint spiritual light, both Chen Jiancang and Chen Jianyun showed relieved smiles.

Chen Jiancang did not stop for a moment and took Chen Jianyun to Plot 30 Spiritual Field again.

This time, he evenly sprinkled all the Earth Vigor Growing Pellets on the remaining barren Spirit Field.

Then, as before, he formed hand seals and drew in the spiritual rain.

As the spiritual rain fell, the medicinal power quickly spread in the soil.

The originally cracked and lifeless Spirit Field, as if injected with a powerful life force, began to undergo astonishing changes.

The soil quickly became loose and fertile, and the bluish-green color became increasinglyRich.

The entire Spirit Field seemed to be covered with a layer of verdant gauze.

Although it had not fully recovered to normal earth vigor, it was not far off.
