Chapter 447 Spirit Plant Transformation, Divine Infant Ganoderma
Tian Ling'er played with the tea set. As the Spirit Spring Water boiled, a wisp of misty Spirit Mist Qi drifted out from the black earthenware pot.
Her pink and tender small hands held a cattail leaf fan, gently waving it to control the Fire Control.
Before long, an extremely unique Spirit Tea Fragrance instantly filled the entire Thatched Cottage, making one feel refreshed.
It was as if one was bathing in an boundless Sea of Clouds, with their Mental Focus immersed within.
Amidst the brewing, these Water Vapor, under the refraction of sunlight, transformed into a patch of verdant light mist, misty and knotted together, refusing to disperse.
Gurgle, gurgle~
Once the Tea boiled, the misty Verdant Essence actually all converged, falling back into the earthenware pot, truly incomparably mystical.
"Master, the Spirit Mulberry Bitter Tea is ready."
Tian Ling'er's small face revealed a sweet smile, and then she placed a delicate teacup in front of everyone.
Even the Devouring Heaven Rat had one placed before it.
Without any superfluous formalities, her small hands took down the black earthenware pot from the stove, and carefully poured Tea for everyone.
Verdant and clear Tea soup flowed out, a rich Spirit Qi brewing within, clearly containing hidden depths.
Qin Ming picked up the Spirit Tea, took a slight sip, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten as he exclaimed in admiration, "Truly good Tea!"
"Fellow Daoist Dragonwood's Spirit Mulberry Bitter Tea truly has a unique flavor, bitter at first then sweet, its taste is the best Spirit Tea Qin has drunk in nearly a hundred years, and more importantly, it can actually increase a trace of Nascent Soul Mana."
"I'm afraid it's a Fourth-Order Grade Spirit Tea, right?"
Dragon Wood True Lord nodded with a smile, "Indeed, if Fellow Daoist Qin Ming likes it, you can drink more."
At this moment.
Tian Ling'er and the Devouring Heaven Rat were also sitting at another small wooden table, savoring Tea.
After the Devouring Heaven Rat finished drinking, it also felt an endless aftertaste, and its Cultivation became even more solid.
It secretly glanced at Qin Ming and Dragon Wood True Lord, who were conversing.
Then, the Devouring Heaven Rat sneakily leaned close to Tian Ling'er's ear, and said in a low voice, "Little girl, This Grand Sire has good Treasures here, how about I exchange some Spirit Tea Leaves with you?"
As it spoke, it took out a Spirit Clam Pearl and waved it in front of Tian Ling'er.
"Senior, this Spirit Mulberry Bitter Tea is a Fourth-Order Spirit Tea personally planted by my master. In the entire East Sea Cultivation World, it is also extremely famous, growing on a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rock, and the Penglai Sect only has this one plant."
"Moreover, every Sixty Years, only ten Jin of Spirit Mulberry Tea Leaves can be harvested, the yield is limited, and it is extremely rare." Tian Ling'er held her teacup and took a small sip, saying in a crisp voice.
"Therefore, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you."
"Ah? Only this little?" The Devouring Heaven Rat could only say dejectedly, "Then it's truly a pity, it's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
Because in its Understanding, the High-Tier Spirit Tea in Qin Ming's Spirit Plant Garden was so abundant that it could never be finished drinking.
Tier 3 Spirit Tea that others sought but could not obtain, it could drink by the boxful. Qin Ming and Dragon Wood True Lord naturally saw all of this, but neither of them spoke.
Immediately, while sipping Spirit Tea, they began to exchange insights on the Path of Herbalism.
Both of them had profound Attainment in this Path, and they forgot about time inside the Thatched Cottage, conversing for a full three days and three nights.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Dragonwood, Qin came here this time to collect Spirit Items for cultivating Blood Dragon Dragon Green Rice, I wonder if you have any here?"
Qin Ming put down the teacup in his hand, and asked with a light smile.
"Alas~ Don't mention it, although this old woman has the Method for cultivating Spirit Rice, she has also traveled to many places over the years, and only collected Snake-Dragon Essence Blood of Late Stage of Rank Three."
"As for the other few items, I have gained nothing."
"I wonder how Fellow Daoist Qin is doing?"
Qin Ming did not expect that even a Nascent Soul Sect like the other party lacked these rare Spirit Items.
However, after a slight thought, he also felt it was right. After all, Blood Dragon Dragon Green Rice was a Fourth-Rank Middle-Grade Spirit Rice, which had the effect of increasing Cultivation for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, and it was not so easy to cultivate.
The Spirit Items for its seed cultivation were all rare items in the Cultivation World, and even a Cultivator like Dragon Wood True Lord found it difficult to collect them all at once.
Qin Ming originally planned to exchange what he had for what he lacked with her, to gather the Spirit Materials as soon as possible, plant the Spirit Rice, and incidentally farm Entries.
As a Result, after inquiring, he found that the other party's progress was even slower than his by quite a bit.
"Qin here is still lacking the last Azure Sky Spirit Soil, as for Profound Yellow Essence Qi, I was fortunate enough to obtain a small bottle, but I guess it's not enough." Qin Ming said.
As for the source of this bottle of Profound Yellow Essence Qi, he did not mention it, after all, Revered Person Separating Fire had already Fallen.
Dragon Wood True Lord was not too concerned about what he said, but said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin does not need to worry, when the 'Immortal Abode Grand Gathering' is convened, these Spirit Items will surely appear."
"This old woman is very confident in this."
Qin Ming nodded, then his gaze turned to Tian Ling'er again, who was currently in the Room, quietly holding a Medicine Scripture and reading it.
"Fellow Daoist Dragonwood, your beloved Disciple's origins are probably extraordinary, right?"
Dragon Wood True Lord smiled slightly upon hearing this. Since she was willing to bring Qin Ming here, she naturally did not intend to hide it from him.
"Hehe! That's right, Fellow Daoist Qin is truly insightful! I wonder how you discovered it? Ordinary Nascent Soul Fellow Daoists cannot see any abnormalities at all."
"It shows that Fellow Daoist's Plant Affinity has also reached an extremely profound Realm."
Qin Ming said with a light smile, "Qin has cultivated a Spirit Plant Divine Ability, so I can sense a thing or two, but forgive my Shallow and Ignorant, I don't know what kind of Disciple this is exactly"
Dragon Wood True Lord's expression suddenly brightened upon hearing this, revealing a hint of pride:
"This is also due to a Fated Chance this old woman had in the past. When I was comprehending Inheritance in a Penglai Immortal Tree, I obtained a Divine Infant Ganoderma. However, under the nurturing of the Immortal Tree, this Spirit Plant actually underwent some kind of change, not only condensing an Essence of Myriad Woods, but also giving birth to Spirit Intelligence, and then Spirit Plant Transformation..."
"To be able to nurture Tian Ling'er to grow up, speaking of which... is also the greatest achievement in this old woman's life."
"This matter is not a Secret within the Sect either."
When Qin Ming heard this, he was also secretly amazed, never expecting that this little girl was actually nurtured by this Penglai Immortal Tree.
"Essence of Myriad Woods, tsk tsk tsk, incredible!"
"I didn't expect this old woman to have such extraordinary Fated Chance, to actually obtain such Inheritance and Fortune."
"Don't look at how small this Divine Infant Ganoderma is, but in fact, it is estimated to be thousands of years old, and it is still only in its Juvenile Stage, yet it is already a Fourth-Rank Middle-Grade Spirit Plant. If it grows up in the future, it will be even more extraordinary, perhaps it will have hope of reaching a higher Grade." Even Old Demon Qingyang was secretly amazed.
"Don't look at what this old woman says, her current Spirit Plant Skill is mostly bestowed upon her by the Nourish Back effect of this Divine Infant Ganoderma."
"When you Impact the Spirit Transformation Stage in the future, you may have to come back and trade with this old woman."
Qin Ming understood everything after hearing this, marveling at the Mystical Creation of the Great Dao, that even such Transformation Spirit Plants could be nurtured.
He was also quite envious of this.
"What does this have to do with my Impact on Spirit Transformation? Isn't this too early?" Qin Ming couldn't help but ask secretly.
But Old Demon Qingyang seemed to realize he had let something slip, and quickly shut his mouth... Afterwards, Qin Ming took out the 'Penglai Immortal Token' and asked Dragon Wood True Lord:
"Fellow Daoist Dragonwood, the Immortal Tree Inheritance Comprehension you just mentioned, can one use an opportunity with this Token?"
"That's right, but the Great Dao Comprehension of the Penglai Immortal Tree is restricted for Cultivators outside the Sect." Dragon Wood True Lord replied truthfully, "Generally speaking, the Quantity of Penglai Immortal Tokens sent out externally is also extremely small."
Qin Ming asked in surprise, "Oh? What are the restrictions?"
"Cultivators who obtain Penglai Immortal Tokens from outside the Sect can only comprehend the Great Dao below the Fifth Layer Tree Canopy, and cannot obtain the Core Inheritance of this Sect."
"But as long as they are Elders or Disciples within this Sect, there is no such restriction. If their Cultivation is sufficient, they can go to higher Levels of the Tree Canopy to comprehend Inheritance." Dragon Wood True Lord explained in this way.
Then, she suddenly changed the topic and said to him with a smile, "Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Qin Ming just join the Penglai Sect? With your Spirit Plant Skill, you might be able to obtain a great Fated Chance on the Penglai Immortal Tree."
Qin Ming's mouth twitched upon hearing this, here we go again?
'The Devouring Heaven Rat was right, I am already so outstanding, now even Nascent Soul Sects want to rope in a Rogue Cultivator like myself to join.'
"Hehe! Thank you for Fellow Daoist Dragonwood's kindness, but Qin is not very interested in joining any Force." Qin Ming politely declined.
Dragon Wood True Lord felt regret, but still sighed and said:
"Alas~ Then it's truly a pity, Fellow Daoist Qin's ambition is not here, and this old woman cannot force anyone."
"In that case, compared to ascending the Immortal Tree to comprehend the Great Dao, this old woman suggests that Fellow Daoist Qin use this Penglai Immortal Token to visit the Library Pavilion instead."
"Fellow Daoist Dragonwood, what do you mean by this?" Qin Ming asked.
"Because the Great Dao Comprehension on the Penglai Immortal Tree is not that easy to obtain either. The higher up the Tree Canopy, the more difficult it is to gain Harvest."
"Even among the Disciples within this Sect, very few have been able to gain Harvest over thousands of years."
"Instead of wasting a Penglai Immortal Token in vain, it is better to go to the Library Pavilion to read. After all, this Sect, as a great Spirit Plant Sect inherited from ancient times, has quite a few books about Fourth-Order Spirit Plants, I believe it will be of some help to Fellow Daoist Qin's improvement."
"However, how to use this Token is entirely up to Fellow Daoist Qin's choice."
Dragon Wood True Lord also sincerely wanted to befriend Qin Ming, and analyzed the pros and cons for him.
"So that's how it is, then the higher up the Tree Canopy one comprehends the Great Dao, the more abundant the rewards obtained?" Qin Ming asked again.
Dragon Wood True Lord nodded, "That's right, the rewards obtained from the Penglai Immortal Tree are random. Some may be Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, some may be Pill and Medicine Books, some are High-Grade Pill Medicine, and some may be a complete Skill Inheritance, not limited to the Path of Herbalism."
Qin Ming thought that the other party had obtained such a good thing as a Transformation Spirit Plant from one Comprehend, and couldn't help but feel a little eager.
He had his Natal Spirit Plant Yin-Yang Vine, even if he gained nothing himself, but being able to let it absorb a wave of Luck from this Tier 5 Divine Tree would not be a loss.
Qin Ming's calculations were also crackling loudly.
Therefore, he said to Dragon Wood True Lord, "Then Qin will use this Immortal Token to comprehend the Great Dao on the Penglai Immortal Tree once."
"Since I've already come, Qin must personally experience the Mystical nature of the Immortal Tree no matter what."
Dragon Wood True Lord was quite surprised, after all, she had already said everything she needed to say, but she did not expect Qin Ming to still make this choice.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, have you thought it through? The probability of you, an outsider, gaining nothing from ascending the tree for Comprehension is the greatest."
"Yes, even so, Qin will accept it."
"Then alright, but at present, Fellow Daoist Qin cannot enter the Fifth Layer Tree Canopy yet." Dragon Wood True Lord added.
Qin Ming asked, "Why is that?"
"Elder Chen Muzhi of this Sect has just entered this Layer for Secluded Cultivation and Comprehension, it is estimated that it will take some time before he comes out, a few months at the shortest, and at most one or two years." Dragon Wood True Lord explained.
Qin Ming understood, "So that's how it is, but if it's only such a short time, Qin can still wait, it just so happens that the Immortal Abode Grand Gathering is still two and a half years away from starting."
He did not expect that Comprehending the Great Dao on the Immortal Tree also required queuing.
"Then this old woman will send Fellow Daoist Qin Message Transmission when the time comes." "If Fellow Daoist Qin has nowhere else to go, why not stay here with this old woman, there are still many vacant Dwelling Cave Residences anyway." Dragon Wood True Lord warmly invited.
Qin Ming cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for Fellow Daoist Dragonwood's kindness, but Qin finally made a trip to the East Sea Cultivation World, and plans to wander around and broaden my Experience."
"Well, that's fine too." Dragon Wood True Lord nodded.
Afterwards.
Qin Ming and the other party exchanged what they had for what they lacked, slightly exchanging some Spirit Plant Seeds, and then got up to bid farewell.
Ever since the Devouring Heaven Rat learned that Tian Ling'er was a rare Transformation Spirit Plant 'Divine Infant Ganoderma'.
Saliva dripped down as it kept sniffing around her, as if sniffing her could bring some great Benefits, making the little girl feel embarrassed.
"What are you doing? Look at your disgraceful appearance! You start misbehaving again after not being disciplined for three days."
Qin Ming grabbed the Devouring Heaven Rat with a large hand, and immediately without mercy, directly threw it into the Small Spirit Realm.
"Poor discipline, truly making Fellow Daoist Dragonwood laugh."
"Hehe! It's alright, Fellow Daoist Qin's Rat King Spirit Pet is also very intelligent, quite rare, and it has already Breakthrough to Peak Third Order Realm, presumably the day it advances to Transformation Stage Great Demon is not far off, right?" Dragon Wood True Lord did not mind.
Qin Ming smiled lightly, "This fellow is still far from it, the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation is not that easy to overcome."
"Speaking of which, this old woman noticed that black Steel Fork in the Rat King's hand, its material is extraordinary, it should be made of Black Essence Meteorite Iron. If Fellow Daoist Qin can find some Extraterrestrial Rare Metal above Fourth Rank and mix it in for refining, perhaps you can upgrade it to the level of a Fourth Rank Spirit Treasure."
"Black Essence Meteorite Iron and Extraterrestrial Rare Metal both have great effects in resisting Thunder Tribulation." Dragon Wood True Lord said slowly.
Qin Ming did not expect that Dragon Wood True Lord would actually notice the Black Steel Trident in the Devouring Heaven Rat's hand.
Immediately, he summoned the Devouring Heaven Rat again, and said to it, "Take out your Black Steel Trident and let Fellow Daoist Dragonwood take a look."
The Devouring Heaven Rat had just been given a Lesson by Qin Ming, and was quite embarrassed, and immediately put on a smiling face, quickly nodding and bowing, taking out the Black Steel Trident, and respectfully handed it to Dragon Wood True Lord.
Dragon Wood True Lord took the Trident, gently stroked it, injected Magic Power to verify and check, and then nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, confirmed to be Black Essence Meteorite Iron without a doubt."
"This iron has extremely strong Malleability, and is also very tough, and can even absorb Thunder Power."
Qin Ming took the Black Steel Trident and examined it for a long time. He had never paid much attention to it before. It turned out that the Steel Fork that the Devouring Heaven Rat held in its hand all day long was actually a Rare Treasure.
If it wasn't for the Devouring Heaven Rat's fondness for this Treasure and its constant pestering, Qin Ming might not have bestowed it upon it.
He never expected that it would be such a rare item as Extraterrestrial Black Essence Meteorite Iron.
"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Qin does not need to be surprised, this item is only recorded in small Quantity in the Record of Exotic Objects of this Sect's Library."
"Not to mention you, even other Nascent Soul Fellow Daoists may not know about it."
"This old woman estimates that the Weapon Refiner who originally forged this Black Steel Trident did not know the true use of this item either, so they hastily forged it into such a crude appearance." Dragon Wood True Lord said with a smile.
When the Devouring Heaven Rat heard that its Black Steel Trident was a great Treasure, and that it was helpful in resisting the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, it was immediately overjoyed.
"I knew it, when I smelled it back then, how could there be a familiar rich Aura of Treasure... Hehehe!"
Qin Ming threw the Black Steel Trident back to it, letting it secretly rejoice by itself.
Afterwards.
Qin Ming bid farewell to Dragon Wood True Lord and left Penglai Sect Headquarters.
Dragon Wood True Lord was still quite polite, and personally saw him off outside the Island.
...
Not long after Qin Ming went far away.
A golden Swift Rainbow arrived late, landing near Penglai Island, and happened to bump into Wang Jingqiu and others who were patrolling nearby.
Wang Jingqiu had encountered Nascent Soul True Monarchs one after another, and this Lowly Golden Core Cultivator was also trembling with fear. Now she had even encountered a Mid Nascent Soul Stage Great Expert, and she didn't know what taboo she had violated recently.
"Disciple Wang Jingqiu of Penglai Sect, greets Senior True Monarch Long Yang!"
Long Yang Zi's beard and hair were all white, and he asked anxiously, "Has Moon Gazing True Lord been to your Sect?"
"Reporting to Senior, Senior Moon Gazing True Lord just left this morning." Wang Jingqiu replied truthfully.
"Ah? Alas! These Demonic Cultivators have truly ruined This Seat's affairs!" Long Yang Zi sighed heavily.
He originally came closely following behind Qin Ming, and with his Mid Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation, he would naturally be able to catch up with the other party quickly.
But who would have thought that he would encounter a Void Omen in the middle of the journey, and was delayed for several days, which was truly frustrating for him.
"Fate has not arrived, so be it, Fellow Daoist Moon Gazing will return to Skywave Immortal City one day sooner or later." Long Yang Zi shook his head.
Wang Jingqiu looked at his Expression, and weakly asked, "Senior True Monarch Long Yang, do you need Disciple to report to my Ancestral Master?"
"Forget it, forget it, this Old Man doesn't want to see that crazy old woman."
Long Yang Zi glared and puffed his beard, then his figure blurred for a moment, and instantly disappeared in place.
Leaving Wang Jingqiu awkwardly standing in place, at a loss.
A full Incense Stick Duration later, after confirming that Long Yang Zi had already left and gone far away, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Alas! I will never take on this Patrol and Defense Task again in the future, it only gives so little Contribution Points, and every now and then I encounter Nascent Soul True Monarchs, who can withstand this?"
...
On the other side.
After Qin Ming left Penglai Sect, he drove the High Heaven Treasure Carriage, speeding across the boundless sea.
The Mysterious Water Crocodile and eight Jade Wave Seahorse were working hard to pull the carriage forward.
Qin Ming enjoyed the service of the Devouring Heaven Rat, and took out the Eastern Sea Map Jade Slip to check it.
"Master, where are we going next?"
The Devouring Heaven Rat stood on Qin Ming's shoulder, gently peeling the skin of a Spirit Fruit, and then put it into his mouth.
"Hmm, go to Black Abyss Island in the northeast sea area."
Qin Ming said lightly.
Black Abyss Island was a place similar to a Black Market in this sea area, and many shady Transactions took place here.
Therefore, the possibility of finding High-Rank Extraterrestrial Rare Metal was also the greatest, and he could also take the opportunity to dispose of and exchange some of the items in Qin Ming's own hands.
Several days later.
A pitch-black Island appeared in Qin Ming's Divine Sense vision.
He immediately put away the High Heaven Treasure Carriage, transformed into the appearance of a Curly-Bearded Strongman, but did not conceal his Cultivation, first revealing his Nascent Soul Stage Realm.
After all, he was going to plan for Fourth Rank Rare Metal this time, and he would inevitably have to deal with Fellow Daoists of the Same Stage.
Black Abyss Island was not large in scale, and the Island was extremely desolate, without even a Defensive Formation. On the island were densely packed Dwelling, all Stone Houses piled up with black stones.
Qin Ming transformed into a crimson Swift Rainbow and landed On the island. The Fellow Cultivators around him, seeing such a Great Expert descend, immediately scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in Desperate Flight.
He followed the records on the Jade Message Slip and went straight to a nine-story Pavilion in the center of the Island.
The Pavilion was also entirely built of black stones, and there was no signboard hanging.
Qin Ming immediately strode in, and wherever he passed, the Fellow Cultivators retreated.
But before he could walk into it, a Purple Escape Light landed in front of him, revealing a Purple Robe Female Cultivator in a Purple Gauze Long Skirt at the Late Golden Core Stage.
"Welcome, Senior True Monarch, to our Black Abyss Island, please come inside for a chat."
Qin Ming did not say much, just nodded, and then followed the Purple Gauze Long Skirt Female Cultivator into the Pavilion.
After arriving inside, he found that the furnishings here were also extremely simple, and couldn't help but suspect whether there would be what he needed.
Because as soon as he came in, he had enveloped the entire Black Abyss Island under his Divine Sense, and checked it all over.
He actually discovered that the person with the highest Cultivation was the Purple Robe Female Cultivator at the Late Golden Core Stage in front of him.
Seeming to see Qin Ming's suspicious look, the Purple Robe Female Cultivator first poured him a cup of Spirit Wine, and then explained with a smile, "Senior, do you have something to sell? Or do you have Spirit Items you need to search for? Just tell Disciple."
"No matter what it is, we can get it. Our 'Black Abyss Island' has always been based on Reputation to establish ourselves in the East Sea Cultivation World."
Qin Ming nodded, and did not waste any words, "This Seat needs some Extraterrestrial Rare Metal above Fourth Rank, the higher the Grade, the better, do you have it here?"
"No matter the price, This Seat can afford it."
"Fourth Rank Extraterrestrial Rare Metal??"
"This..." The Purple Robe Female Cultivator hesitated, and replied somewhat awkwardly, "Reporting to Senior, such High-Tier Rare Metal is probably not available On the island either."
"Humph! Then you still dare to boast shamelessly?"
"Are you playing games with This Seat?"
The Curly-Bearded Strongman transformed by Qin Ming was furious, and the terrifying Spirit Pressure Aura emanating from his body made the Purple Robe Female Cultivator's Expression turn pale with fright.
Just at this moment.
"This Fellow Daoist, please do not be angry."
"The item you need, this Old Man will solve it for you."
A Black Escape Light fell into the Stone Chamber, revealing a bald-headed Black Robe Old Man, with a withered face, hunched back, but he was actually emitting an Early Nascent Soul Stage Aura.
The Black Robe Old Man raised his hand and waved, and then took the Purple Robe Female Cultivator over, cast a Spirit Light Shield, and protected her inside.
Qin Ming's eyes suddenly narrowed upon seeing this, and his Magic Power comparable to Mid Nascent Soul Stage suddenly unfolded. The Black Robe Old Man's Expression changed, and he immediately felt a Spirit Pressure like a landslide and tsunami coming.
He could no longer protect the Female Cultivator.
His Expression could no longer hold up, and he hurriedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist, Show Mercy!"
As the Black Robe Old Man relented, the vast Spirit Pressure receded like a tide.
"Hehe! Old Man Superior Black Xuan, is the Black Market Operator of this Black Market, if my subordinates have offended Fellow Daoist, please do not take it to heart." The bald Black Robe Old Man laughed dryly, and said to Qin Ming.
At the same time.
Superior Black Xuan was also secretly shocked, not knowing where such a Great God had emerged from.
His Strength seemed to be far above his own.
