After passing through the still empty spirit fields, Weisuo stopped and took out an olive-sized green seed with a hard shell. He placed it in the soil near the entrance and placed a mid-grade spirit stone next to the seed.
Afterwards, purple true essence gushed out from Weisuo's hand and wrapped around the seed and the mid-grade spirit stone.
The seed almost immediately split open and quickly grew roots that wrapped around the mid-grade spirit stone. Then, it plunged into the soil and grew into a green vine seedling. As Weisuo continued to pour true essence into it, the green vine grew rapidly and quickly covered the entire courtyard's walls. It even spread out towards the quiet room in the inner courtyard.
"Very good, but you have to be careful!" Seeing Weisuo's actions, Old Man In Green Clothes immediately praised, "The two little brothers you took in this time are very good. You were even able to meet such people. I've followed so many masters, but I haven't met many like them …"
Weisuo curled his lips and didn't say anything. He only continued to use his true essence to stimulate the growth of the strange green vine.
Only when the green vine had almost covered the entire courtyard did Weisuo stop.
The green vine's shape was relatively ordinary, but there were many green pods on its stem and leaves. The fruits inside were like colored glass marbles.
This kind of plant that could be grown using True Essence and Spirit Stones was bought by the green-robed old man when he made a big purchase. It was specially used for cultivators to rest in the wild, and it could serve as a warning in advance.
After sensing the aura of True Essence outside of the True Essence, the green pods on the Green Pearl Vine would explode, emitting a sharp sound … What was strange was that the green pearl-like fruits inside were not seeds. After a plant like the Green Pearl Vine was planted, it would only bloom once every few years. Each time, it would only produce two or three seeds like the ones in Wei Suo's hand.
Wei Suo had coincidentally met this simple-minded duo in the Nine Cauldrons Shop that he had almost forgotten about. After hearing Zhen Chongming complain that he hadn't brought them to earn spirit stones for so long, Wei Suo suddenly realized that there were indeed some things that he could let these two do.
They didn't have to appear in public often and many things didn't have to be handled by him alone. Not only was it safer, it also saved a lot of time.
In the future, if he needed to buy things for alchemy or talisman, he could let these two do a lot of errands.
Especially when he encountered powerful demonic beasts or enemies, it was also good to have two people to use offensive or defensive magic tools. Anyway, these two people were at the fifth tier of the Spirit Sea Realm. As long as they had enough spirit stones to cultivate, it wasn't impossible for them to break through to the first tier of Zhou Tianjing's cultivation …
The most important thing was, where could he find two people with such cultivation and such simple-minded people?
Anyway, taking these two people with him was similar to cultivating the Heart Devouring Insects. It would consume some spirit stones, but it could also increase Weisuo's strength. Moreover, these two people consumed much less spirit stones than the Heart Devouring Insects.
Currently, the Demon Cultivating Fluid for the Heart Devouring Insects cost 300 spirit stones per dose, which could only be used for five to six days. Weisuo had made an agreement with these two people that they didn't need to do anything. If they cultivated, it would cost them 10 spirit stones per day, and it would only cost them 70 spirit stones per day. With Weisuo's current state of closed-door cultivation, he would only let them go out once or twice a month at most to buy and sell some things. Each person's cost would not exceed 500 low-grade spirit stones … In the future, if they were to go out and fight some high-level demonic beasts together, Weisuo would make a lot of money, because he only needed to give them 70 low-grade spirit stones.
As for the half-spirit-grade magic tools, if they went out, Weisuo would lend them a few. Because there were some strange half-spirit-grade magic tools that could be seen through, Weisuo didn't dare to sell them. In Weisuo's plan, he would use what he could first, and then let these two people run to a faraway city to sell them. This way, he would at most spend some money on the teleportation array, and wouldn't waste Weisuo's cultivation time.
The green-robed old man looked at these two simple-minded cultivators. He could only say that Wei Suo had bumped into these two top-notch people. As for the green-robed old man, who had already seen the dangers of the cultivation world and had lost so many masters, he was naturally simple-minded. However, the more precautions he took, the better it was for him …
If it wasn't for the fact that cultivating the Divine Vanquishing Vine required some methods and couldn't be transplanted, the Old Man In Green Clothes would definitely ask for the Divine Vanquishing Vine to be planted.
…
After arranging the Green Pearl Vine, Weisuo didn't relax and take a break. On the contrary, he became even busier.
This time, in Nine Cauldron Shop and Golden Jade Pavilion, Weisuo actually prescribed a total of 15 doses of the Monster Cultivating Fluid, 300 green-shelled insect monster cores, and 400 golden spirit pills.
Including the golden spirit pills he had on hand, after all these golden spirit pills were delivered, there would be more than 540 golden spirit pills in total. When Weisuo broke through from the fifth tier of the Divine Sea Realm to Zhou Tianjing's first tier, he consumed a total of more than 100 golden spirit pills. According to the simple calculation, Weisuo needed at least 200 golden spirit pills to break through from the first to the second tier, and at least 400 golden spirit pills to break through from the second to the third tier … According to Weisuo's experience, the number might be a little higher, but 540 golden spirit pills should be enough.
After all, after refining the Spirit Fox Flower and the Lotus of Earth Fire this time, Weisuo also felt that his cultivation had improved to a certain extent. These two spiritual herbs also had the effect of slightly increasing one's cultivation.
300 green-shelled insect monster cores, even if Weisuo's alchemy skills were better now, and he had a success rate of about 70%, it was still far from enough to make about 200 golden spirit pills. Because Weisuo used a total of 140 golden spirit pills to break through from the top tier of the Profound Level to the bottom tier of the Earth Level.
Weisuo only used seven golden spirit pills to break through from the bottom tier of the Profound Level to the middle tier of the Profound Level. To break through from the middle tier to the top tier of the Profound Level, he needed 32 golden spirit pills … and to break through from the top tier of the Profound Level to the bottom tier of the Earth Level, he needed 140 golden spirit pills. This was similar to the green-robed old man's previous estimate that the number of Mending Heavenly Pills needed to advance by one level was several times more. According to this calculation, if he wanted to advance the Purple Profound True Incantation from the Earth Level Low Rank to the Earth Level Middle Rank, he would need at least five hundred Mending Heavenly Pills.
These 300 green-shelled insect monster cores were definitely far from enough. But if he bought too many golden spirit pills, it was likely to arouse the suspicion of many forces, and they would investigate the use of the green-shelled insect monster cores. Therefore, Weisuo planned to let Zhu Xiaochun and Zhen Chongming buy them directly from some casual cultivators and small shops, so that they would not attract other people's attention.
Just the two lists alone, if all the things on them were collected, it would be about 81,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Weisuo only had about 70,000 pure spirit stones, but the things he gave to Zhu Xiaochun and Zhen Chongming were also sold for more than 12,000 low-grade spirit stones. Weisuo himself also sold two half-spirit-level defensive magical artifacts, two half-spirit-level offensive magical artifacts, and two treasure bags from Nine Cauldron Business and Golden Jade Pavilion, which would also bring about 13,000 low-grade spirit stones to Weisuo.
After that, Weisuo still had more than 20 half-spirit-level defensive magical artifacts, 17 half-spirit-level offensive magical artifacts, and a lot of treasure bags to sell, so he had enough spirit stones for the time being.
Now that he had obtained seven elixirs to refine the Monster Cultivating Liquid, Weisuo immediately refined all the elixirs into Monster Cultivating Liquid.
After that, Weisuo took out several elixirs that Old Man In Green Clothes had specially bought for him. Under the guidance of Old Man In Green Clothes, Weisuo refined these elixirs into a small bottle of milky white liquid.
Then he put all the Monster Cultivating Liquid in a big bucket and let the heart-eating insect soak in it.
Then, Weisuo returned to Jing Shizhi, took out the two pieces of Xuanming Immortal Lotus, and prepared a white jade bottle.
Weisuo first took out a pure silver knife and carefully cut open one of the pieces of Xuanming Immortal Lotus.
This Xuanming Immortal Lotus was completely different from the Earthly Fire Immortal Lotus. Not only was it not as hard as the Earthly Fire Immortal Lotus, but after the plump petals were cut open, a lot of greenish-black liquid flowed out.
Wei Suo carefully collected all of this medicinal juice into a prepared jade bottle. Then, he cut up all of the Xuanming Immortal Lotus and placed them in the bottle. Both pieces were handled in the same way.
After putting the two pieces of Xuanming Immortal Lotus into the jade bottle, Weisuo quickly poured the small bottle of milky white liquid into the jade bottle. After carefully shaking it, Weisuo quietly waited for two to three incense sticks' worth of time. Then, he raised his head and drank the liquid and the pieces of Xuanming Immortal Lotus.
After that, Weisuo closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged, completely entering into secluded cultivation to refine the Xuanming Immortal Lotus.
Day after day passed. Outside Weisuo's Sky-level residence, Zhu Xiaochun and Zhen Chongming, who would occasionally stop cultivating, looked at the deathly silent Sky-level residence with bewilderment in their eyes.
However, the two of them were very obedient. They didn't take half a step into the spiritual field that Weisuo had mentioned, nor did they dare to make any loud noises.
This silence continued for seven days. Then, with a creak, the tightly shut door of the quiet room was pushed open from the inside.
A gloomy Weisuo walked out of the quiet room.
Originally, Weisuo and Old Man In Green Clothes had estimated that they would need at least twenty to thirty days to completely refine the two pieces of Xuanming Immortal Lotus. However, Weisuo hadn't expected that he would be able to completely refine the two pieces of Xuanming Immortal Lotus in just seven days.
It wasn't that the Xuanming Immortal Lotus was easier to refine than the Earthly Fire Immortal Lotus. Instead, every time a trace of the Xuanming Immortal Lotus was refined, the extremely cold and yin spirit Qi seeped into Weisuo's body. Weisuo's body naturally produced a wave of warmth, counteracting a portion of the yin spirit Qi that was detrimental to cultivators. Originally, this yin spirit Qi was the same as the fiendish Qi of the Earthly Fire Immortal Lotus. It had to be wrapped in true essence and slowly released from the body.
However, Weisuo quickly discovered that this wave of warmth produced by true essence came from the fire spirit root.
In other words, a fire spirit root cultivator's innate constitution was much stronger than ordinary cultivators when it came to resisting yin spirit Qi.
However, this constitution seemed to have unknowingly weakened the medicinal efficacy of the Xuanming Immortal Lotus. Therefore, according to Old Man In Green Clothes's estimation, the two pieces of Xuanming Immortal Lotus should have been enough to refine the yin spirit Qi. However, Weisuo hadn't been able to form a true ice spirit root. Instead, he was only able to cultivate a half-ice spirit root.
Weisuo had already tested it in the quiet room. When he circulated his true essence, the silhouette of an ice spirit root would appear, but it didn't take the form of a spirit root.
This caused Weisuo to feel extremely gloomy. At the same time, he also realized that it was much more difficult for a cultivator who already had a single spirit root to form another spirit root. This was because any spirit root cultivator's constitution and talent were much stronger than ordinary cultivators'.
