143: No shortage of seeds

Big Goose said: "Right, refine the Spiritual Plant."

As it spoke, Big Goose came before the foundation establishment grass. Tang Tian followed with a look of astonishment, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Big Goose released the Thousand-Rhyme Spirit Fire, which instantly surrounded the foundation establishment grass. Tang Tian had been nurturing this foundation establishment grass for five or six months, and it had long since grown to the level of a pseudo-Earth Rank seventh-grade Spirit Medicine, with five hundred years of maturity.

This had already reached the limit of the foundation establishment grass's growth, and within the tomb of the Medicine Venerable Real Person, this stalk of foundation establishment grass had already grown for over a hundred years.

Big Goose spat the Thousand-Rhyme Spirit Fire from its mouth. Tang Tian only then realized that Big Goose was now one meter tall. It was half the size of Great Yellow, but still much smaller than Wuqi.

Great Yellow was no longer the scrawny creature it once was. After being nurtured by Tang Tian for so long, it had become majestic and imposing—a handsome dog. It was more than enough to go and match with Little Spirit Rice...

Tang Tian looked at Big Goose and fell into deep thought. There weren't many geese in the Medicine Venerable Space; it was time to find a partner for Big Goose.

However, Tang Tian felt that a goose with a goose wouldn't be good; at the very least, it needed to have the attributes of another bird.

Tang Tian asked: "Big Goose, what kind of bird do you like? I'll find one for you."

Big Goose paused, then "Ge-ge-ed": "Goose, I thought you would pair me with a goose from the Medicine Venerable Space. What I like are geese with large wings and long necks."

Big Goose said inwardly with secret joy. Previously, when Tang Tian said he would find a wife for Great Yellow, Great Yellow had been incredibly excited, and even after returning, its mouth was still grinning.

Wuqi was the same; it had even raised its wife in the Medicine Venerable Space.

Unexpectedly, Tang Tian wanted to find a wife for it too. For a moment, it was so excited that the speed at which it refined the foundation establishment grass increased by a few points.

Big Goose said: "Master, I'm not in a hurry. You should let Great Yellow and Wuqi marry their wives first; I can find one slowly."

Tang Tian thought to himself: "A goose with large wings and a long neck? Isn't that a swan?"

Tang Tian said: "Fine, I'll help you find one..."

Big Goose was satisfied, and for a time, it exerted twelve times the effort to refine the foundation establishment grass.

Big Goose's Qi was gradually becoming insufficient. Great Yellow was on the side feeding it Spirit Fruits to replenish it, because Big Goose's cultivation was too low, and using Spirit Stones to replenish was too slow.

Tang Tian had a large pile of Spirit Stones, but unfortunately, Big Goose couldn't use them. Tang Tian called for Wuqi to dig up some Qi Gathering plants, then Tang Tian took out his pill cauldron and refined a large pile of Gathering Qi Pills for Big Goose to consume.

Tang Tian refined one hundred Gathering Qi Pills per batch. After seven or eight batches, seven or eight hours had already passed. When Tang Tian saw that Big Goose's Qi was insufficient, he would feed it a dozen Gathering Qi Pills.

Finally, the refinement was successful. The foundation establishment grass seeds, which shouldn't have appeared in the world, had appeared. The heavens and earth were somewhat enraged, with thunder and lightning flashing throughout Jinque City, though Tang Tian couldn't hear it inside the Medicine Venerable Space.

The foundation establishment grass seeds were the size of pinecones, with many strange patterns on them. They felt heavy in the hand and emitted a strange fragrance.

Tang Tian said happily: "It's done!"

This meant that Tang Tian could use this stalk of foundation establishment grass infinitely from now on. If Tang Tian could collect the other two foundation establishment grasses in the future, he could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill infinitely.

Big Goose also felt a jolt of spirit. Originally, it had been afraid it couldn't help Tang Tian; it hadn't expected there to be such an effect.

Big Goose said: "Master, don't worry. As long as this foundation establishment grass is still here, I can leave seeds for it infinitely."

Tang Tian was shocked. This actually had no time limit; as long as there was enough Qi, it was fine.

As long as he found the other two foundation establishment grasses, the animals in his Medicine Venerable Space could undergo Foundation Establishment at will.

Of course, this was only Human Dao Foundation Establishment; Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment would still need to be planned out...

Tang Tian was curious if there were one hundred and sixty-eight Yao Beasts at the Qi Training Ninth Level in the Dense Forest Stone Nest. After all, he had twenty-four animals in his Medicine Venerable Space.

Six chickens and six ducks, Great Yellow, Wuqi, Ink Jade, Ye Dian—four of them—plus the calf he bought and the Ironclad Boar's son, Iron Earth, totaling twenty-four.

The order of Foundation Establishment must be for Great Yellow to undergo Foundation Establishment first, to find Materials for his own Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

Great Yellow's Foundation Establishment must be Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment. After all, Great Yellow had the talent for treasure hunting. If it found a treasure and was slapped to death by a Yao Beast, it would only be able to cry, so it must be Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

As for that Little Spirit Rice, forget it. Great Yellow and Little Spirit Rice hadn't established a relationship yet, and Little Spirit Rice hadn't Cultivated the "Ten Thousand Devouring Method," nor had it entered the Medicine Venerable Space.

Unless it was contracted by Tang Tian and entered the Medicine Venerable Space, Tang Tian wouldn't be preparing for it...

Tang Tian said: "Big Goose, go and refine some more seeds of the hallucination intellect beast heart grass now. Try to make sure all the animals in the Medicine Venerable Space can quickly eat them."

The hallucination intellect beast heart grass had been planted for so long, and only seven animals like Great Yellow and Wuqi had eaten it. The other animals in the Medicine Venerable Space could only watch longingly; there was no help for it, everything was ranked by strength.

Big Goose nodded, let the other geese assist it, and went to the hallucination intellect beast heart grass to refine it.

Those geese kept handing Spirit Fruits to Big Goose. Refining these Spiritual Plants that could already produce seeds was even faster for Big Goose.

Goose King "Ge-ge-ed" and called out: "Children, you all plant these and eat them first."

Tang Tian was helpless, but since these seeds were refined by Big Goose first, it was natural for its kind to eat them first.

Later, Big Goose refined another fourteen seeds; the other animals would all have a share, though it would take a day.

These geese had no blood relation to Big Goose. Tang Tian didn't know where Big Goose had learned these mountain king habits.

Those geese bowed in thanks to Big Goose and then thanked Tang Tian: "Many thanks to the Old Ancestor for allowing the King to have the ability to refine herbal seeds."

Tang Tian was speechless; if they were willing to call him that, then so be it.

However, the Flowing Feather Phoenix and Zhiya did not have the flamboyant personality of Big Goose.

Big Goose was probably like this because of its Intermediate "White-Forehead Tiger" Bloodline. Could Big Goose lead a large flock of birds to charge for Tang Tian in the future...

Tang Tian didn't worry about these things anymore. He fished a few fish from the spirit pool, paired them with Spirit Fruits and Profound Rank First Grade spiritual rice, and had a delicious meal.

Great Yellow and Wuqi were eating on the side without even raising their heads.

Tang Tian said: "Now that I'm full, it's time to refine the beast core of the Qi Refinement stage eight raven."

Tang Tian took out the raven's beast core. Lightning appeared on it, but compared to the earth-attribute beast core of the Teng Snake, this lightning-attribute beast core was even more aggressive, even stinging Tang Tian's hand.

Tang Tian said: "The beast core left behind by a dead Yao Beast can sting my hand; this raven must have been a peerless monster."

Tang Tian didn't hesitate and continued to refine it according to the previous method. After setting up the pill cauldron, Great Yellow and Wuqi took turns breathing fire.

It was just that very soon, the Medicine Venerable Space was covered in blood Qi. Seeing Tang Tian take out the Yao Beast beast core, the Soul-Devouring Sword got excited and was absorbing the blood Qi of the beast core on the side.

Tang Tian said: "It would be good if there were more beast cores in the Auction House. After all, a beast core for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones at the Qi Refinement stage eight is already equivalent to the Qi of all the Spirit Medicine in the Medicine Venerable Space maturing once..."
