Chapter 96: Chapter 88: [Chicken Cage] + [Spirit Field] = ? (Two in One)_2
Then he took out more than two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones from the Storage Bag, plus one mid-grade Spirit Stone, and divided them into three portions with a wave of his hand.
"I don’t need the Spirit Stones, Eldest Brother and Second Sister, you each take one portion, and as for the remaining one, you can give it to Third Brother’s family."
"Don’t split anything else, Fourth Brother, you keep them."
Du Wanyi looked at the small pile of Spirit Stones in front of her and spoke again.
Ji Yuan was not a person to be overly modest, "Alright."
He put away the Storage Bag and then asked, "Eldest Brother, Second Sister, where do you want to go? Should I take you there, or to my place to recuperate?"
"Take us back, these injuries are manageable for us to heal at home."
Yao Jingfeng forced a smile as he said this.
"Alright."
Du Wanyi lived in house number three in Taian Square.
Yao Jingfeng lived in house number thirteen in Huaiyin Square.
Since it was closer to Huaiyin Square, Ji Yuan first brought Yao Jingfeng back, and he also took the portion of Spirit Stones meant for Luo Tian with him.
He had a better relationship with Luo Tian, so it was more suitable for him to deliver the stones.
At last, Ji Yuan once again piloted the Flying Boat into the sky. It was only then that Du Wanyi mentioned, "Eldest Brother’s injuries are severe, I’m afraid... I’m afraid he’s hurt his foundation."
With a Pseudo Spirit Root, establishing a Foundation is already extremely difficult, and if the foundation is harmed... then the hope is even slimmer.
"Let’s hope not."
Ji Yuan could only say this.
After all, if the foundation were truly damaged, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Looking back now, Fourth Brother, you were right; one shouldn’t be greedy..."
Du Wanyi shook her head, unsure of how to continue.
Ji Yuan pondered for a long time before saying, "It’s not that one shouldn’t desire more, but before reaching sufficient strength, one should be cautious."
"But in cultivation, there is always someone stronger. How can one tell when their strength is enough?"
Du Wanyi’s voice carried a hint of despair and helplessness.
Ji Yuan did not know the answer, but he was certain that if it were him alone, he definitely would not take such risks, and even if someone invited him again after this experience, he would not take such risks again.
What about acquiring the Centennial Gentian?
Once my cultivation reaches the peak of Qi Refining, leave Zengtou City, and seek it elsewhere.
Buying it requires Spirit Stones, and with the architectural effect, along with Ji Yuan’s expertise in Talisman Painting and Alchemy, he doesn’t lack Spirit Stones.
"We’ve arrived, let me take Second Sister home. If there’s anything, feel free to contact me anytime."
"Alright."
After escorting Du Wanyi home, Ji Yuan finally let out a long breath of relief. He circled around the Cloud Rain Marsh several times, ensuring no one was following him, then detoured back to his own home.
By then, he had already changed his clothes, and the Spiritual Qi in his Dantian had fully recovered.
So he looked perfectly fine, and even when he ran into Wen Lin going out, Wen Lin didn’t notice anything unusual.
He had left just last night, and had returned early this morning; nothing had happened at home.
Ji Yuan sat in the living room and first took out the three Centennial Gentian plants. According to the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, crafting a furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills requires exactly three Centennial Gentian plants.
However, Ji Yuan then took out a small, exquisite Jade Box from the Storage Bag.
This Jade Box was placed together with the Centennial Gentian, so Ji Yuan figured the contents should also be related to Foundation Establishment, and he opened it with a wave of his hand.
"Are these... seeds?"
Ji Yuan took one out and placed it in his palm.
It was indeed a seed, but he didn’t know what kind of seed it was.
Placing it together with the Centennial Gentian, could it be a Gentian seed as well?
But even if not, it should be some kind of material for Foundation Establishment... Ji Yuan thought of this and turned his gaze to the small patch of Spirit Field outside his house.
He was worried there wasn’t anything good to plant in the Spirit Field.
But planting it in the front yard seemed a bit conspicuous. After some thought, Ji Yuan decided to open up a small patch of Spirit Field next to the Fish Pond in the backyard.
There weren’t many seeds, only a dozen or so.
And given the limited space, the patch of Spirit Field Ji Yuan created was roughly the size of a small square table.
Ji Yuan recalled the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, where the main herbs needed to be millennial Spiritual Medicine, and even the auxiliary herbs needed to be at least a hundred years old.
Even if he upgraded the Spirit Field to Level 2.
It would still only reduce the growth cycle of the crops by 40%, meaning they still needed to grow for 60 years peacefully.
Sixty years, if I still haven’t established my Foundation in sixty years, then there’s no point in hoping for it.
Ji Yuan thought about it, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Currently, the Spirit Field only has architectural effects without any additional benefits.
But what if I add the Spiritual Soil produced by the Chicken Cage?
Currently, at Level 1, the Spirit Field can only shorten the growth cycle by 30%... Let’s try adding Spiritual Soil and see if there’s any change.
The Chicken Cage produces one tael of Spiritual Soil every ten days, an ounce every day, and only a catty in a hundred days.
And over the past year and more, Ji Yuan has been storing the Spiritual Soil he dug out, accumulating over three catties now.
The small patch of land before him certainly wouldn’t use up all that Spiritual Soil.
After all, it’s not a complete replacement.
Ji Yuan took out the specially made cloth bag containing the Spiritual Soil from the Storage Bag and laid a layer over the Spirit Field.
Even so, it only used just over one catty of Spiritual Soil.
But when he finished and was about to get up, he suddenly noticed that the row of small characters floating above the Spirit Field had an additional line next to it.
The original line read: [Spirit Field: lv1]
And now that line had changed slightly.
[Spirit Field lv1: Enhanced by Spiritual Soil, crop growth cycle reduced by 50%]
!!!
This could work!
Unexpectedly, it provided a 20% bonus, and this way, once he upgrades the Spirit Field to Level 2 and gains an additional 10% bonus, the crop growth cycle could be reduced by 60%.
