154: Starlight Alfalfa

Under Lin Yan's internal inspection, he saw that the Innate Sword Bone was no longer a dormant piece of bone, but had transformed into a treasure radiating spiritual light.

A small area on its surface had patterns flowing with a faint red-gold halo, clearly nourished by the True Dragon Bloodline.

He could feel that this Sword Bone, which had recovered some of its power, now had a much tighter connection with him.

At this moment, with just a thought, the Sword Bone would manifest its power, helping him condense sharper and more domineering Sword Qi.

It could even faintly trigger subtle fluctuations in the surrounding space, as if the sword had not yet left its sheath, but its sword might had already arrived.

He could now directly utilize a sliver of the Sword Bone's power!

Previously, the Sword Bone was a passive enhancement, but now it was a power he could actively utilize!

"This is the nourishment of the True Dragon Bloodline..." Lin Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which transformed into a pale golden dragon-shaped phantom in the air before dissipating instantly.

He looked down at his palms; beneath his tough skin, red-gold Bloodline patterns could be faintly seen flashing like swimming dragons.

The warmth and pulsation of the Sword Bone in his chest were clearly perceptible, as if a dormant heart had begun to beat again, resonating in sync with his own Qi and blood, and Spiritual Qi.

At this moment, he finally felt a connection of flesh and blood with the Sword Bone.

...

"Dragon Marrow Grass contains the power of Water-attributed dragon marrow; refining it can improve one's Water Spiritual Root!"

Besides receiving feedback from the dragon blood essence, the Dragon Marrow Grass itself was even more precious.

Baptism by the Essence Blood of a Divine Beast can improve a Cultivator's Spiritual Root quality, and Dragon Marrow Grass has a similar effect to the Essence Blood of a Divine Beast.

"Once this Dragon Marrow Grass matures, I will be able to awaken my Water Spiritual Root!" Lin Yan's face could not hide his excitement.

The huge harvest brought by the mutation of the Dragon Blood Grass made him even more interested in cultivating it.

This mutated Dragon Blood Grass was one of the three that Su Wan Yue had given him previously.

Excluding this Dragon Blood Grass that had mutated into Dragon Marrow Grass, there were over fifty Dragon Blood Grass plants in the spiritual field.

The mutation probability of this stuff is not low; if cultivated well, a top grade Water Spiritual Root is within reach.

...

In the valley, besides the spiritual fields, Lin Yan also had the Little Fatty reclaim a pasture specifically for planting Alfalfa.

Now, the pasture had begun to take shape, and the breeding of Spirit Rabbits had also followed.

Golden light slanted across the Alfalfa pasture. Lin Yan walked slowly through the waist-high greenery, green waves rolling, with the fresh fragrance of grass and soil lingering at the tip of his nose.

A rabbit hutch specifically for raising Spirit Rabbits was built at the edge of the pasture.

Standing outside, one could hear the rustling commotion of the Spirit Rabbits inside.

Dozens of plump Spirit Rabbits were hopping within the bamboo fence, their pink noses twitching and long ears trembling, appearing very lively.

The bamboo cages inside this hutch were all made from the first-grade spirit bamboo from Qingzhu Peak, very sturdy.

In the pasture, the Little Fatty Xu Shuangyuan was holding a shiny green steel sickle, busy cutting grass.

He squinted at the direction of the rabbit hutch, then looked down at the most flourishing patch of Alfalfa beside him, grinned, and said to Lin Yan:

"I need to cut more today, otherwise these little guys will be clawing at the fence and making a fuss."

After speaking, he gathered a handful of Alfalfa stalks with his left hand, tilted his sickle with his right, and with a soft 'swish', the tender grass leaves and thin stalks fell neatly into his palm.

He had a very methodical way of cutting grass, only harvesting the freshest top half of the stalks without hurting the roots.

His movements were extremely skillful; he was an agile Little Fatty, and in no time, he had cut a large bundle of Alfalfa.

After a few years, the Little Fatty had honed himself into a skilled farmhand.

"Slow down, don't cut your hand." Lin Yan cautioned.

Xu Shuangyuan responded, and his sickle swung even more steadily.

After cutting an armful of Alfalfa, he turned and walked to the bluestone trough next to the rabbit hutch, spreading the grass bundles into it.

The Spiritual Qi and dew still clinging to the grass leaves condensed into tiny water droplets at the bottom of the trough, emitting a fresh and sweet herbal fragrance.

"Dinner time!" The Little Fatty clapped his hands and stepped back two paces.

The Spirit Rabbits in the cage immediately went wild, quickly hopping to the edge of the trough, their split lips chewing the grass leaves rapidly, their cheeks bulging as if they had stuffed two walnuts inside.

"You've raised the rabbits well." Lin Yan nodded in praise.

"Of course." The Little Fatty raised his eyebrows proudly, then continued:

"Having said that, this also has your credit, Senior Brother."

"Those few Purple Stem Alfalfa you cultivated were a huge help."

【 spirit plant Name: Purple Stem Alfalfa 】

【 growth progress: 100 / 100 】

【 spirit plant Characteristics: Can promote the growth of surrounding Alfalfa, has a strong attraction to herbivorous Spirit Beasts 】

【 Growth status: None 】

...

Purple Stem Alfalfa can help the pasture develop rapidly, and the Spirit Rabbits prefer eating the Alfalfa affected by it.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Purple Stem Alfalfa that the Spirit Rabbit breeding could go so smoothly.

Lin Yan inspected the pasture along the way.

Many of the Alfalfa here were planted by him, with the system panel present.

After a round, there were no mutated Alfalfa, but one Purple Stem Alfalfa that had mutated not long ago showed signs of further mutation.

【 spirit plant Name: Purple Stem Alfalfa 】

【 growth progress: 68 / 100 】

【 mutation progress: 5% 】

【 spirit plant Characteristics: Can promote the growth of surrounding Alfalfa, has a strong attraction to herbivorous Spirit Beasts 】

【 Growth status: None 】

...

"That's an unexpected discovery." Lin Yan thought to himself.

Immediately, he began to focus on cultivating this Purple Stem Alfalfa.

Although this thing had no effect on improving cultivation, its practical value was not low.

Lin Yan planned to raise more other Spirit Beasts in the future, increasing his income while also improving his meals.

...

The cultivation of the Purple Stem Alfalfa went very smoothly; after all, it was only a first-grade spirit plant.

In just over ten days, the Purple Stem Alfalfa underwent a transformation under Lin Yan's catalysis.

A purple-gold intertwined halo erupted from the stem, enveloping the entire Purple Stem Alfalfa.

Within the halo, spot-like textures as bright as white stars appeared on the leaves of the Purple Stem Alfalfa.

The leaf veins turned into silver threads, dense as a weave, flickering uncertainly, as if starlight fragments were slowly flowing within.

The entire plant was suffused with bits of spiritual light, as if surrounded by some noble spiritual charm.

【 spirit plant Name: Starlight Alfalfa 】

【 growth progress: 109 / 1000 】

【 spirit plant Characteristics: Can promote the evolution of surrounding Alfalfa, has a strong attraction to Spirit Beasts 】

【 Growth status: Continuous catalysis, experience + 3 】

...

The moment the transformation was completed, a wisp of pure plant Origin flowed backward from the heart of the grass into Lin Yan's palm.

At the same time, an epiphany flooded into his mind.

That epiphany transformed into flowing scrolls that unfolded in his Divine Soul; the leaf veins became the meridians in his body, and the starlight became the flowing Spiritual Qi...

This epiphany was like sweet dew sprinkling into his heart, and the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, which had been stuck at the second level for a long time, suddenly vibrated.

The Cultivation Technique scriptures circulated on their own in his Divine Soul; the obscure techniques became clear and transparent, and the trajectory of the Mind-Cultivation Technique corrected itself, forming a more perfect cycle.

The Bottleneck of the Azure Emperor Longevity Art was quietly broken through, and he officially stepped into the Minor Achievement Realm.
