Chapter 191: Preparations For A Long Journey
A day later, Han Weiwei and Wei Suo made it back safely to his cavern abode in Lil’night Mountain. They were presently a.n.a.lysing those three special emerald crystals in the peacefulness of his room.
In front of the both of them, were two plates segregating a stalk of Heptanight Chrysanthemum and a Rice Milk Fruit.
These two spirit medicines were harvested during their journey back from Duanlong Cliff. It was worth around 2-3 thousand low grade spiritual stones and weren’t considered as rare.
The Heptanight Chrysanthemum held efficacies in relieving internal heat, a definite nourishment for cultivators training in water element skill techniques. As for the Rice Milk Fruit, it was a white fruit grown from short shrubs. The sap of the fruit looked like rice wine and was used during fasting.
When the flower of the Heptanight Chrysanthemum blooms, it would only be effective for seven days. On the seventh day, the medicinal energy of the flower would reach its peak. But after the seventh day, the flower would dry and wither, and the medicinal energy would dissipate away.
As for the expiry period of the Rice Milk Fruit, it was roughly 3-4 days. When this period was over, the Rice Milk Fruit will mature and drop, and the stalk of the Rice Milk Fruit would wither and die. One would have to wait for the seeds to take root again and grow out a new stalk.
Right now, was coincidentally the seventh day of the Heptanight Chrysanthemum. It appeared as though it would start withering anytime soon. As for the Rice Milk Fruit, it had swelled so excessively that it would seemingly burst with liquid anytime soon. It could no longer ripen further and if there were no mishaps, half an incense worth of time was all it need for the 5-6 fruits to drop.
Wei Suo carefully retrieved the three emerald crystals from his Treasure Receiving Pocket. He then dug a hole beneath the Rice Milk Fruit plant and buried them.
Then, Wei Suo and Han Weiwei waited while watching with wide eyes.
A delightful scene followed. After a long while, the originally about to ripen Rice Milk Fruit didn’t show a single sign of ripening fully. Instead, it continued growing as usual.
Even after Wei Suo dug out two emerald crystals, the effects remained. Only when Wei Suo dug out the third emerald crystal, did the Rice Milk Fruits drop instantly. As for the stalk, it withered.
Wei Suo then tested those three emerald crystals on the Heptanight Chrysanthemum. Similarly, after a long while, it was clearly time for the chrysanthemum flower to wither. Instead, the flower continued growing.
Similarly, Wei Suo retrieved two emerald crystals and nothing changed. Only after he retrieved the last crystal, did the flower wither. But different from the Rice Milk Fruit plant, the stalk of the Heptanight Chrysanthemum remained upright.
“I’m rich!!”
Splendorous gold shimmers instantly filled both Wei Suo’s and Han Weiwei’s expressions!
Regardless of whether the emerald crystals were natural or artificial products created by the powerful owner of the Vajra Five Elements Barrier, Wei Suo could confirm, these three emerald crystals could create longevity for various spirit medicines. Thus miraculously enhancing their efficacies.
Such special crystals was practically too wondrous for any cultivator.
For example, certain cultivators who planted spirit medicines in their own cavern abode, wouldn’t be able to leave their residence once harvesting time was soon approaching. They could only wait patiently till the harvest, which was equivalent to tying themselves down.
With such crystals, one could feel rea.s.sured and depart for personal affairs. Anyway, the spirit energies of those spirit medicine wouldn’t dissipate, and would even enhance with time.
Furthermore in the cultivation world, some spirit medicines differed from the Heptanight Chrysanthemum and the Rice Milk Fruit. Some would bear fruits for only a period of time, and after this period of time, the plant would wither and die. Yet with these emerald crystals, the longevity period of such plants would become infinite, allowing them to continue bearing fruit. Moreover, not harvesting the fruits would even allow the medicinal energies to continue piling up.
Previously, Wei Suo only retrieved a single emerald crystal before the ginseng fruits of the Golden-Spotted Ginseng fell. As for the Heptanight Chrysanthemum and the Rice Milk Fruit, they only needed a single emerald crystal. As such, one could tell the Golden-Spotted Ginseng was a spirit medicine that vastly transcended such ordinary spirit medicines.
Yet all forms of spirit energy was destined to slowly erode away. As for these three emerald crystals, they probably had been buried for an exceedingly long time, perhaps even several thousands of years. Looking from this manner, using it for another 800 years shouldn’t be a problem right?
Most pellet medicines are concocted from spirit medicines The stronger the raw medicinal energy, the higher the quality of the concocted pellet.
By prolonging the life expectancy of spirit medicines with the crystals, such neverending spirit energies would definitely suffice to concoct pellet medicines of unparalleled qualities.
As for the worth of those three special emerald crystals, they absolutely far outweighed the worth of a single Blood Dragon.
Therefore, the reason the Golden-Spotted Ginseng was able to bear much fruits, and even faintly created a tri-colored cloud of sunset hues, was most likely because of the excessive acc.u.mulation of medicinal energies within.
Contemplating till here, Wei Suo couldn’t help but produce the white jade bottle that contained those seven ginseng fruits.
Those seven ginseng fruits laid peacefully in the jade bottle. They were about the size of yellow beans, and tiny sprouts could be seen beneath them; resembling that of tiny cherries. Their surface was coated in golden with a tinge of scarlet, and a violet red exuberated out from their internal flesh.
Differing from other spirit medicines, the spirit energies contained in those seven ginseng fruits were incredibly reserved. One couldn’t whiff any special scent even by going near the white jade bottle.
“Under normal circ.u.mstances, the Golden-Spotted Ginseng would bear three ginseng fruits. Yet there are already seven fruits. This indicates that it has been growing for 4-5 thousand years. Furthermore, looking at the tri-colored cloud of sunset hues phenomena, its efficacies should vastly exceed ordinary ginseng fruits right?” Wei Suo observed the alluring fruits as he subconsciously muttered excitedly to himself.
“We cannot say for sure…” Han Weiwei was similarly exceedingly excited. But upon noticing Wei Suo’s complacent expression, she couldn’t help but tease Wei Suo a little. “Who knows if after so long, the medicinal properties would change greatly and become toxic. Perhaps, the medicinal energies will be too potent, and change one into a freak.”
“This……” Wei Suo glanced at Han Weiwei speechlessly. After pondering, he asked, “After this, what are your plans?”
“What do you mean?” Han Weiwei pursed her lips. “What plans can I have? You’re an individual that is full of patterns and mischief, i will just see what plans you have. If you wish to earn spiritual stones, then call me along to earn some. If you shall prepare for closed door training, then I shall go into secluded training as well.”
“You’re implying you’re bent on following me? Isn’t that equivalent to becoming that? Do you wish to train in that Blackfiend Great Technique with me?” Wei Suo in his excitement, wanted to wretchedly spew out such a phrase. Still, he didn’t dare to say it.
Instead, he observed Han Weiwei a little before explaining, “After this, I will probably go on a faraway adventure, because I promised a cultivator to deliver something to Perching Phoenix City.”
“Deliver something to Perching Phoenix City?” Han Weiwei was slightly startled. She knew that Perching Phoenix City resided in the southeast region of the Heavenly Profound Continent, and separated by over ten cities from Spirit Peak City. It seemed that going and returning would require over a month.
Wei Suo nodded. He already planned to make a trip to Perching Phoenix City. It had been several months since his adventures in Sky Valley, if he decided to start any closed-door trainings, it would probably take him another few months. Although Granny Jin mentioned that her grand daughter still had three years of longevity, Wei Suo didn’t want a situation where that grand daughter would die from an accidental death. Besides, that death oath was truly too frightening, he would only be at peace if he could accomplish it quickly.
Furthermore, Wei Suo had calculated that if he went into secluded training, it would require over a thousand Golden Spirit Pellets for him to advance from Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 to level 4. That meant spending 110,000 low grade spiritual stones. After he had established this cavern abode, he had already squandered a hundred plus thousands of spiritual stones. After acquiring the spiritual stones from those guys from the Tetrasea Hall, his present wealth amounted to approximately 100,000 spiritual stones.
Training to Heavenly Circuit Stage level 4 wouldn’t be a problem if he slowly offloaded those demonic beast carca.s.ses he had. Nevertheless, he planned to go into a single long closed-door training after acquiring the ginseng fruits, and directly charge into the realms of Thought Division Stage.
Now that he eliminated the problem of the Golden-Spotted Ginseng, there wouldn’t be a problem for Wei Suo to break through to the Thought Division Stage as long as he had sufficient spiritual stones and time.
According to the Old Man’s disdainful words. n.o.body knows how potent the medicinal energies of these ginseng fruits were, but only a pig like cultivator would face problems with such miraculous spirit medicines. Furthermore, Wei Suo was now a dual Spirit Root cultivator, and had gone through numerous battles. Hence, his mental fort.i.tude and will eclipsed ordinary cultivators as well.
Once he gains those 200,000 low grade spiritual stones from Granny Jin’s granddaughter, breaking through to the Thought Division Stage would be a given.
Right now, Wei Suo felt that Han Weiwei would probably excitedly rush to follow him to Perching Phoenix City. This little lady just couldn’t keep idle and loved to run anywhere.
However, Han Weiwei pondered a little before replying, “I guess I won’t be following you. Wei Suo, send me back to Spirit Peak City first, I’ll use this time to train in the Precious Treasure Pavilion and break through to Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2.”
“You’re not going?” Han Weiwei’s answer was completely out of Wei Suo’s expectations. He couldn’t help but turn slightly dumbfounded.
“It’s running late.” Han Weiwei worriedly frowned. “I’m worried about my Senior Sister.”
“Since that’s the case, then bring these ginseng fruits back first. Let Ji Ya test if there’s a problem with their medicinal energies.” Han Weiwei’s answer prompted a complication emotion in Wei Suo’s heart. He paused silently for a brief while before nodding.
“I’ll have to make some preparations, and I’ll need 2-3 days to comprehend a particular skill technique as well. Wait here for another few days, then I’ll escort you back to Spirit Peak City.”
After arranging matters with Han Weiwei and relinquishing this room to Han Weiwei, Wei Suo entered another ordinary room.
His current demeanor looked as if he had gone through extensive contemplations. Suddenly, he produced a single pellet medicine and swallowed it.
This was a blood colored pellet medicine that was as small as a pigeon’s egg. Very evidently, it was a United Void Pellet!
