169: Spiritual soil in place

These three Spells can only be Cultivated at the Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Soul Transformation Realms, respectively.

Qin Feng was not anxious about this; the Soul Needle alone was enough to catch others off guard. As for the Soul Net and Soul Transformation, he would worry about them when he could learn them.

He had already Cultivated Cultivation Techniques such as the Five Emperors Slaying God Art, Immortal Execution Sword Formation, Dao One Art, and God Emperor Soul Dao Art. Each of these was a Cultivation Technique that Saints from various Holy Lands could only dream of, far surpassing ordinary Cultivators.

After this period of accumulation, it was time to Breakthrough his Realm. To prevent the birth of a certain obsession from overly pursuing Realms, Qin Feng only spent seventy percent of his time Cultivating the Five Emperors Slaying God Art, and the remaining thirty percent was split between Cultivating the Dao One Art and the God Emperor Soul Dao Art.

Unconsciously, another month passed.

The Spiritual Qi on Wo Niu Mountain was dense, and with the Xuan Kun Devouring Heaven Formation assisting by gathering eight times the Spiritual Qi, Qin Feng naturally and smoothly reached the Middle Stage of Core Formation with no obstacles whatsoever.

"Now that I've reached the Middle Stage of Core Formation, I'm one step closer to the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Qin Feng opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid Qi, his eyes sparkling with uncontrollable excitement.

He could clearly feel the Golden Core, shimmering with five colors, constantly rotating in his Qi Sea acupoint. Its speed was much faster than during the Early Stage of Core Formation, and the Spiritual Power it contained was also stronger.

Even with only eighty percent of his Spiritual Power, he could execute a complete set of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Art.

Such abundant Spiritual Power was entirely due to the Five Elements Dao Source Golden Core, which was the benefit brought by his Five Elements mixed Spiritual Root. If even one attribute were missing, he wouldn't have today's benefits.

He walked out of the Immortal Cave.

Outside, the scorching sun shone brightly on the mountaintops, and countless Spirit Medicines continuously absorbed nutrients from the ground, growing robustly.

His Divine Sense could clearly perceive the situation on the surrounding mountaintops without needing to deliberately explore.

Leaves were yellowing, weeds were withering, and dehydrated leaves were falling from the branches—it was clearly autumn again.

Xiao Yun was carrying a hoe, surveying the Spirit Medicines in the field from the ridge. Wang Dalong was busy in the open space of another wooden house, building his small courtyard with wood. Yan Sandao's requirements were much simpler; just digging a hole in a nearby boulder counted as his Immortal Cave.

Seeing Qin Feng emerge from seclusion, Yan Sandao immediately walked out of his stone cave and respectfully said:

"Revered Master, everything is done."

As his voice fell, a person-high burlap sack had already appeared on the ground. The bag was bulging and looked very heavy, filled with a dark brown soil that had an extremely strong earthy smell.

"Revered Master, I traveled all over Qianxing City and only collected this much ordinary Spirit Soil."

"That's probably enough. What about the other things?"

"Six hundred barrels of Advanced Spiritual Plant Liquid were bought, plus this Spirit Soil, for a total of sixty-eight million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Qin Feng nodded without speaking. When they swept through Tongxian Hall earlier, Wang Dalong and Yan Sandao had collected all the spoils, so they were not short of Spirit Stones for a short period.

Now that the Spirit Soil was collected, it was naturally time to plant the enlightenment fruit seeds!

Taking advantage of the good weather, Qin Feng had them move stones to build another flowerbed next to the Beast King Tree's flowerbed, filling the empty space in the middle with Spirit Soil.

Once the flowerbed was built, Qin Feng unhurriedly took out the enlightenment fruit seeds from his storage ring and buried them in the Spirit Soil.

Spirit Soil provided abundant nutrients for spiritual items. As the seeds were buried, a faint vitality immediately emanated from the withered enlightenment fruit seed, and as time passed, its life force gradually grew stronger.

"It's alive!"

Seeing the enlightenment fruit seed continuously recovering its vitality, Qin Feng's face couldn't help but flush with a hint of excitement.

Xiao Yun, Wang Dalong, and the others were all curious, seeing the joy on Qin Feng's face.

Because before this, the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Tea Tree and the Beast King Fruit Tree were only cultivated with ordinary soil. Now, this seed actually used Spirit Soil, so its preciousness must be greater than the previous two Spirit Trees!

However, since their Revered Master didn't speak, they didn't dare to ask, only standing by and quietly watching.

After compacting the soil, Qin Feng walked to the Spiritual Plant Liquid wooden barrel at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, scooped out a large ladle of Human Rank top-grade Spiritual Plant Liquid, and poured it into the Spirit Soil.

One watering with this kind of Spiritual Plant Liquid could increase a plant's growth cycle by one hundred and eighty days.

As a ladle of Spiritual Plant Liquid was poured down, the vitality in the soil became even more tenacious, but there was still no sign of rooting or sprouting.

This scene made Xiao Yun, Wang Dalong, and the others all widen their eyes. Why hadn't it sprouted even though its vitality had strengthened?

If the growth cycle was so long that it didn't even reach the sprouting stage after half a year, then what kind of spiritual item must this seed be?

The more the three thought about it, the more shocked they became, especially Yan Sandao. He had originally been somewhat reluctant to call Qin Feng 'Revered Master', only doing so because of the existence of the contract.

But at this moment, after witnessing the various rare items on Wo Niu Mountain, the respect in his eyes grew even stronger as he looked at the figure before him.

A small seed caused varying degrees of shock in the hearts of the three.

While Xiao Yun was still in a daze, he suddenly felt a surge of Spiritual Power sweep over him.

Although it was only for an instant, that Spiritual Power almost scrutinized him thoroughly.

"Revered Master!"

Xiao Yun called out, his face red, and he couldn't help but clench his legs.

"From now on, focus on Cultivating. Don't do anything else. Break through to Core Formation as soon as possible."

"I'll follow Revered Master's arrangements!"

Xiao Yun nodded solemnly, feeling a little excited.

During this time, Wo Niu Mountain had gradually transformed from a Revered Master-Disciple pair to a Revered Master and three servants, plus an unremarkable little Disciple. Aside from him being at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the others were either Prodigies at the Core Formation Stage or old servants at the Nascent Soul Stage. Even as Qin Feng's only Disciple, Xiao Yun felt a bit inferior.

Possessing the Heaven-Slaying Geng Metal Art, Xiao Yun's desire for strength had long reached its Peak, but unfortunately, too many chores on the mountain delayed his progress.

Now that he finally didn't have to be responsible for the medicinal herbs on the mountain, he couldn't help but breathe rapidly at the thought of being able to Cultivate wholeheartedly!

"Revered Master! You've just emerged from seclusion, so you probably don't need the Gathering Spirit Formation, right? Your Disciple will borrow it for a bit; I definitely won't disturb your use of the Immortal Cave!"

Xiao Yun dropped a sentence and immediately dashed into Qin Feng's Immortal Cave.

"Gathering Spirit Formation?"

Seeing Xiao Yun's excited demeanor, Yan Sandao couldn't help but twitch his fingers. He had five or six sets of Profound Rank Advanced Spirit Gathering Arrays in his storage ring. He would give one to this kid when he had a chance.

At this moment, Qin Feng looked at Wang Dalong again and said, "Old Wang, the irrigation of the Spirit Medicines on this mountain will be entrusted to you from now on."

"Good, I've been coveting this job for a long time!"

Wang Dalong's face immediately showed excitement, and he agreed without hesitation.

Managing medicinal herbs was a boring chore, but if it involved managing Spirit Medicines of several decades and Spirit Trees of tens of thousands of years, then this job was a good one!

Just one ladle of Spiritual Plant Liquid would immediately increase the growth cycle of the medicinal herbs in the field by half a year. Not to mention personally irrigating them, even when Xiao Yun was working before, he found it pleasing to the eye just watching!

Even the later arrival, Yan Sandao, knew about this good fortune, so at this moment, he was also a little anxious and asked Qin Feng:

"Revered Master, what about me?"

"What Realm are you in now?"

"Almost at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul."

"Then your task is to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation!"

"..."

The two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators present fell silent.

The higher the Realm of a Cultivator, the more difficult it became to advance. Even a small Realm required decades of accumulation, at fastest over ten years...

Yan Sandao looked awkward and explained, "Revered Master, I'm only almost at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, I haven't reached the Late Stage yet, nor the Great Perfection Realm."

"If I say you can, then you can."

Qin Feng said lightly, then took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Wang Dalong and Yan Sandao, saying:

"Write down everything you think can help you Breakthrough your Realms on these papers. I'll take care of the rest!"
