Chapter 43: Lightning Struck Wood (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
After Chen Dazhuang left.

Chen Yu wrote to me, saying that there was no hope for the spiritual fertilizer.

At present, high-quality spiritual fertilizer is in short supply. Qingyun Sect does not even have enough for its own use, and cannot sell it to other sects.

They have even cooperated with the Wang family to acquire more spiritual fertilizers.

Chen An sighed, fearing that even the Wang family's spiritual fertilizer would be hard to get in the future.

He didn't care too much about it. At present, the spiritual field had been promoted to high-quality, and there would not be much demand for high-quality spiritual fertilizer in the future.

Just keep applying fertilizer every few years to ensure that the fertility does not decrease.

However, Chen Yu revealed in the letter that the Liu family has been busy looking for high-quality spiritual fertilizer recently, and seems to be quite anxious.

The Liu family is also a farming family, so it is reasonable for them to have such a demand.

Through this incident, Chen An also realized that the Liu family was obviously also seeking to upgrade the spiritual fields. In the future, the competition with the Liu family in spiritual plants might intensify.

But these are the concerns of the elders of the tribe, and he only needs to focus on growing the crops.

The group of people who went to compete came and left quickly.

Ten days later, Chen Dazhuang returned triumphantly.

No need to guess, it will definitely be a fruitful one.

"I came in ninth place and was awarded two perfect quality Qi-nourishing Pills."

Chen Dazhuang stretched out his broad palm and showed two crystal pills.

He took one out: "This is for you."

"This is your reward. How can I take it?"

Chen An waved his hands. He didn't need this pill.

"How can this be possible? If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't be able to get the perfect quality Qi-nourishing Pill."

Chen Dazhuang stared and refused.

The other party was quite loyal. Chen An smiled, stopped refusing, and took the pill.

Then he asked about the competition process.

The Liu family and the Chen family are evenly matched. As expected, the Xu family is the most popular, followed by the Wang family.

What was surprising was that the Xu family and the Wang family had some conflicts. During the competition, whether intentionally or accidentally, the two families each seriously injured several members of the other family.

Rumor has it that the Wang family got the foundation-building pill from the ruins cave.

The Xu family has three foundation-building cultivators. If the Wang family adds another foundation-building cultivator, its strength will be comparable to that of the Xu family. Naturally, the Xu family does not want to see such a thing and suppresses the other side everywhere.

Chen An was a little skeptical about the truth of the matter, because the Liu family had been very quiet recently and seemed to have behaved much more honestly.

According to the news from Chen Yu, the Liu family is developing in a low-key manner, which seems to be a bit inconsistent with the other party's style. There may be some hidden story in it.

Chen An even suspected that the Liu family had obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, and in order to divert attention, they deliberately spread the false news that the Wang family had obtained the pill.

According to the news that had been reported, the scene was quite chaotic on the day of the fight for the Foundation Establishment Pill, with nearly a hundred people fighting in a melee. As for who the Foundation Establishment Pill ended up falling into the hands of, most people were probably confused, except for the person who got the pill.

In front of the cave.

The spiritual plants in the spiritual field are lush and green, exuding an alluring herbal fragrance.

Half a year later, the spiritual plant has matured.

Chen An reaped the rewards, and as expected, after one magical insight after another emerged in his mind, the first-grade intermediate-grade Earth Sinking Talisman, Fire Snake Talisman, Turtle Shell Technique, and Divine Movement Technique were no longer any secrets to Chen An.

Perfection!

Spells of this level are enough to defeat even a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.

Ordinary cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training usually stay at the entry-level and proficient levels in terms of spells.

Those who persevere and spend years and energy can achieve some success in their practice.

But if you don't have talent, no matter how hard you try, you will never reach the threshold of success.

For example, the second elder Chen Rui has been farming for most of his life, and has only made some progress in the Spirit Rain Technique. It seems that he is about to cross the threshold, but if he does not have the opportunity, he may never reach that threshold in his lifetime.

What’s more, perfection!
Chen An was not proud. After harvesting this season's spiritual plants, he planted the Youyuetan, Longxiangjiao, Ninglu Grass and Golden Bamboo.

He then cast the spiritual rain spell, and drops of spiritual rain moistened the soil and spiritual seeds below.

These are all necessary steps.

As for the Soul Containing Technique, Chen An shook his head and gave it all to the Eight Treasures Spirit Tree.

If the quality of ordinary high-quality spiritual plants is low, you can plant another one, but there is only one Eight Treasures Spiritual Tree, and if you don’t plant it well, there will be no second chance.

After exhausting his spiritual energy, Chen An was panting.

Looking at the fairy seedling in front of him that was just half a foot tall, Chen An curled his lips. It had only grown this much in half a year.

Without five or six years of hard work, it would be impossible to achieve any results.

"Buzz!"

The formation jade plate lit up, and it seemed that someone was visiting.

"Chen Zhilan!"

After opening the formation, a man and a woman appeared before him.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Chen Zhilan is still as pretty as ever. When she smiles, there is a hint of maturity in her eyebrows and eyes.

She was holding a little girl in her arms, who should be the child that Chen An had saved with the Tu Yu silk.

Standing next to her was Wang Guanyu, who lived up to his name, with a handsome face. Compared to the last time she saw him, his words and actions were much calmer.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you for the Tuyu silk plant from a few years ago."

Wang Guanyu touched the girl's head and smiled.

"You're welcome. I just raised my hand."

Chen An was purely after the top-grade spiritual fertilizer, so the two of them stopped talking and neither of them said anything, and neither of them mentioned the spiritual fertilizer.

Chen Zhilan has lived a good life these years. As the wife of the young master, she naturally does not suffer too much grievance.

The two now have a child, and the family of three lives happily together.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then the other two said goodbye and left. They came back to visit their relatives, and thanking Chen An in person was just a convenience.

Before leaving, the two men left a lightning-struck wood seed as a token of their gratitude.

This is a first-grade, top-quality spiritual seed, and it is a thunder-attributed spiritual plant, which is rare.

Chen An naturally didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.

It is not easy for a monk to conceive a child, and this is Wang Guanyu's gratitude to him.

The only pity is that I can no longer provide him with hundreds of kilograms of high-quality spiritual fertilizer every year as I did before.

However, Chen An knew in his heart that the other party's return was already the most he could give, and that was about the end of it.

Overall, this deal is not a loss.

After seeing the couple off, Chen An turned around and caught a glimpse of a majestic figure out of the corner of his eye.

Chen Dazhuang?
It seems that this guy hasn't let it go yet.

I hope he just came to see Chen Zhilan for the last time and then he can let go of his obsession.

He has to rely on himself for this kind of thing, Chen An can't help him much.

Before returning to the cave, Chen An looked at the full spiritual field. After hesitating for a long time, he finally planted the seeds of the lightning-struck wood.

He didn't ask for any good quality of the lightning-struck wood, he planted it only for breeding.

Generally speaking, first-grade, high-quality spiritual plants will mature in about a year after sowing, and if you want to breed them, you will need to plant them for half a year.

This is also the reason why spiritual plant masters generally do not breed their own.

Without special means, not too many seeds can be cultivated and the investment cannot be recovered at all.

If you have the time, you can plant another season of spiritual plants and have another harvest in half a year.

Chen An planted the lightning-struck wood, took care of it with farming magic, and then returned to the cave.

The Eight Treasures Spirit Tree cannot eat enough food every day. In order to prevent the quality of the food from being insufficient when it matures in the future, it must practice hard to break through the seventh level of Qi training. Then it can use a sufficient number of Spirit Condensation Techniques to meet the growth needs of the fairy tree.

I hope that the reward after the immortal seed matures will be worthy of my efforts.
