40: Dantang Spiritual Herb Garden
Chen Jiancang and Qing He continued along the bluestone path, and soon arrived at the Spirit Plant Cultivation Area of the Dan Hall.
It was enveloped by a massive Formation array, with mist swirling, far more profound than the Formation array over Chen Jiancang's Spirit Field.
As soon as they stepped in, a rich and fresh spiritual energy assailed them, as if they were in a vibrant spiritual realm.
Within the cultivation area, various Spirit Plants grew in a well-arranged manner.
Some Spirit Plants' leaves shimmered with colorful light, while others bloomed with peculiar flowers, emitting bursts of refreshing fragrance.
Qing He excitedly led the way, introducing various Spirit Plants to Chen Jiancang as they walked.
"Junior Brother Jiancang, look at this Illusory Spirit Grass; its leaves change color with the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and it's a crucial ingredient for refining Illusion Heart Pills.
And over there is the Purple Rhyme Ganoderma, which is extremely precious and very helpful for improving the quality of elixirs."
Qing He pointed at each Spirit Plant, speaking as if counting her family treasures.
Chen Jiancang did not use his Golden Finger to inspect the Spirit Plants and spiritual medicines, but rather listened with great interest to Qing He's introduction.
His gaze swept over the Spirit Plants one by one, trying his best to remember their appearance.
Although Chen Jiancang had the assistance of the Golden Finger and could identify all Spirit Plants and spiritual medicines, he still wanted to memorize them through his own efforts.
Passing through a patch of spiritual medicine, Qing He led Chen Jiancang to a quiet corner.
What met their eyes were several Spirit Plants with peculiar appearances growing here.
Their branches were twisted and coiled, like winding flood dragons, and their leaves were semi-transparent, with liquid seemingly flowing slowly inside, refracting a dreamlike halo under the sunlight.
Qing He's eyes sparkled, and she leaned closer, saying mysteriously, "Junior Brother Jiancang, this is Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass.
It belongs to the third-tier spiritual medicine and is extremely rare.
Among all the Spiritual Veins in the Chen Family, only the main branch and we Cultivate it; it is a valuable Spirit Plant of our Dan Hall."
"According to Master, the Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass is the main ingredient for refining the third-tier elixir 'Dragon Marrow Cleansing Pill'.
After taking this 'Dragon Marrow Cleansing Pill', it can not only expand the cultivator's meridians, making the flow of spiritual energy smoother, but also subtly improve the quality of the Spiritual Root.
The importance of Spiritual Root talent to cultivators is self-evident; even if it only improves by a small level, the cultivation speed and achievements will be vastly different."
Chen Jiancang nodded slightly, observing the Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass with focused eyes, secretly pondering how to obtain the spiritual seed of the Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass.
Just then, a faint buzzing sound came from not far away, like some kind of spiritual insect flying.
The two followed the sound and saw a spiritual butterfly, entirely emerald green and surrounded by a faint fluorescent glow, perched on the pistil of a Spirit Plant.
Its wings fluttered gently, and with each opening and closing, there was a faint glimmer of spiritual energy.
Qing He furtively looked around and pointed at the spiritual butterfly, introducing, "This is a Spiritual Rhyme Butterfly.
It's a spiritual insect raised by the Dan Hall, free-ranging in the spiritual medicine garden to pollinate the spiritual medicines.
It can also brew spiritual honey.
When there's a chance, I'll steal some for you to taste."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiancang couldn't help but smile wryly.
He gently shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Qing He, don't be reckless.
The spiritual honey brewed by this Spiritual Rhyme Butterfly must be extremely precious; how can it be stolen casually?
If you get punished for this, it won't be worth it."
Qing He stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "Junior Brother, I was just saying that.
The spiritual honey brewed by this Spiritual Rhyme Butterfly is indeed a rare treasure.
Not only does it taste sweet, but it can also increase cultivation speed.
However, it is usually kept properly and is only given on important occasions or as a reward to Disciples who have made significant contributions to the Dan Hall."
As they spoke, the Spiritual Rhyme Butterfly seemed to sense their gaze, and it lightly flapped its wings and flew up, dancing among the surrounding Spirit Plants.
The fluorescent glow on its body intertwined with the surrounding spiritual energy, like a dream.
Chen Jiancang's gaze followed the Spiritual Rhyme Butterfly, but his mind was still thinking about the Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass.
He thought that if he could get the spiritual seed of the Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass and Cultivate it in his own Spirit Field, he would have the opportunity to refine the Dragon Marrow Cleansing Pill in the future and also improve the quality of his Spiritual Root.
Chen Jiancang's fingertip lightly brushed the semi-transparent leaf of the Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass, and he asked as if unintentionally, "For such a precious Spirit Plant, does the Dan Hall release spiritual seeds?
If I could try planting it in the Spirit Field..."
"Absolutely not!" Qing He hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and lowered her voice, "This grass only produces seeds once every ten years, and only three seeds each time.
Last month, the Grand Elder of the main branch came in person to retrieve them, and I'm afraid there isn't even half a seed left in theLibrary."
Seemingly realizing she had misspoken, Qing He's eyes flickered as she added, "Moreover, the Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass seeds need to be watered with flood dragon essence blood to be activated.
Even if you get the spiritual seeds, ordinary Disciples would never be able to Cultivate them.
The Star Pattern Dragon Marrow Grass here was also activated with the blood of the second-tier Ink Flood Dragon raised by the Old Ancestor."
What Qing He said, Chen Jiancang had already checked through the Golden Finger.

"Ten years, huh.
If there's a chance in the future, I could plant some."
