Chapter 88 Take out all your Tianling Fruits
Thanks to the effect of the Essence Pill, Chen An's cultivation speed increased a lot. It took him almost five years to break through from the fifth level of foundation building to the sixth level.

It was only because of his strong foundation that he could withstand the effects of the Essence Pill. If it were an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, let alone speeding up his cultivation, he would be thankful if he could take one pill without damaging his meridians.

Of course, the rich spiritual energy contributed by the gradually growing Eight Spirit Treasure Trees also played an important role in making the spiritual energy near this cave almost as high as that of a third-order spiritual vein.

Thinking of the Eight Treasures Spiritual Tree, Chen An stood up and came to the spiritual field.

After more than twenty years of cultivation, the immortal tree filled with spiritual energy has grown to more than two meters tall. Chen An looked at the progress bar and it will take about nine years to mature.

He was still far from reaching the Golden Elixir stage, and was not in a hurry to gain the third level of skills. Apart from watering it occasionally, he rarely took care of it.

As for letting the immortal tree trunk nourish the spiritual field as soon as possible after ripening, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but the fourth-level spiritual field is equivalent to the first level of Nascent Soul cultivator, which is very important. Even in the books related to farming, it is rarely mentioned, and Chen An knows very little about it.

I knew I couldn't control it, so I could only put it aside.

Chen An pulled his thoughts back and looked to the side. Not far from the fairy tree was the Golden Crow Grass. The grass had grown into small seedlings that were all dark golden in color. It shone brightly and looked extraordinary.

The others are the second-level spiritual plants in the second-level and third-level spiritual fields. After several years of cultivation, they have all grown to five years old, and some have even reached seven or eight years old under the accelerated growth in the third-level spiritual fields.

Coupled with the second-level spiritual plants that Chen Qing has collected over the years, according to the thirty-year maturity cycle of the third-level spiritual plants, it is enough to ripen them.

Thinking of this, Chen An immediately took action, took out a dozen five-year-old spiritual plants from the storage bag, and activated the Soul-Snatching Technique to extract a portion of fifty-year-old plant essence.

However, using second-level spiritual plants to ripen third-level spiritual plants was not enough, so he took out several spiritual plants that were about ten years old and extracted a few more from the spiritual field. Only then was he able to gather enough plant essence.

As the dark green essence watered the roots of the Golden Crow Grass, the sunlight shining in front of the cave turned into long rainbows, penetrated into the Golden Crow Grass, and slowly nourished the spiritual plant.

In less than a day, the Golden Crow Grass grew to three feet tall, and it was already thirty years old!
However, Chen An did not pick them. Instead, he waited until the sun came out the next day and continued to ripen them for a few years, allowing the Golden Crow Grass to produce several spiritual seeds before he stepped forward.

"It's finally mature. I hope the third-level spiritual plant won't let me down!"

Chen An took a deep breath, walked forward with excitement, and gently picked the grass.

[Harvest a 30-year-old Golden Crow Grass, obtain a Golden Crow Grass]

Holding a piece of Golden Crow Grass in each hand, Chen An's mouth twitched slightly.

Two? I want a magical skill!

Even if you could just give me a magic weapon, that would be fine!

Previously, he had obtained a prototype of a magic weapon from the Left Protector of the Demonic Path, but Chen An had not yet formed a pill and did not have the corresponding method to forge a magic weapon, so he could not cultivate it into a real magic weapon.

Chen An was confident that he had strong spiritual power, and if he had a magic weapon in his hand, although he could not unleash its full power, he was confident that he could activate it a few times to save his life.

Looking at the two plants of Golden Crow grass in his hand, Chen An took another deep breath. After all, he could use the Soul-stealing Technique to extract the essence of sixty-year-old plants. With the addition of a few second-level spiritual plants to offset the half-damage, he should be able to ripen sixty-year-old Golden Crow grass.

After thinking about it, he took out a golden crow grass seed and was about to plant it again.

A streak of light flashed across the Yunwu Mountain, and a familiar visitor arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Red Leaf Fairy?"

Chen An hesitated for a moment, covered the cave and the spiritual field with mist, and then jumped towards the foot of the mountain. The Red Leaf Fairy was still wearing a red dress, with a voluptuous figure, and every move was charming and enchanting.

"The demons have just retreated, and the fairy is not here in Qingyun Sect, on standby at all times. How come you have time to come to my Yunwu Mountain?"

Chen An led the other party into the attic on the top of the mountain, brewed a pot of tea, and greeted him.

"Speaking of demon cultivators, I have to thank you for the Heavenly Spirit Fruit you gave me last time. It allowed Qingyun Sect to produce a few more foundation-building cultivators, which helped to turn the tide of the battle for the eastern mine vein. Otherwise, the situation would be much more critical."

The Red Leaf Fairy rolled up her red sleeves, revealing a section of her pale arms. She picked up the spiritual tea and brought it to her lips to take a sip. Then she raised her eyes and looked deeply at Chen An, saying:
"But you are really good at hiding your abilities. Last time, you single-handedly killed the left guardian of Yin Demon Sect and many other foundation-building demon cultivators, which shocked the entire Qingyun Sect's top leaders."

Chen An remained calm, he had always kept a low profile, and he exposed his true strength by taking action to resist the demon cultivator. However, he had expected such a thing, and the Qingyun Sect was not stupid either. This kind of thing would sooner or later be known to others.

But since it is Fairy Red Leaf who has come this time, it is certain that Qingyun Sect will not suppress the Chen family for the time being.

"Fairy, you are too kind. This is not something I can do on my own. It was with the support of the formation of Yunwu Mountain and the concerted efforts of my Chen family that I was able to kill the demon cultivator. Otherwise, my ability would be limited."

Chen An remained calm and spoke with a mixture of truth and lies.

Although he failed to lure all the demon cultivators into the formation and kill them in the last battle, he used the Phantom Light Killing Formation to blur the light near the battlefield and used his strength to kill eleven foundation-building demon cultivators outside the formation one after another. Not to mention outsiders, even the several foundation-building cultivators of the Chen family only knew the result and were not aware of the specific process of his fight with the demon cultivators. He was not afraid that the other party would know his true strength.

Fairy Red Leaf glanced at the mist outside the window, her eyes flashed with surprise. She never thought that the Chen family had such an array to protect the mountain, combining illusion and killing into one. If the demon cultivator was careless and entered the array, the Chen family and their foundation-building team could possibly wipe out the enemy.

Thinking of this, Fairy Red Leaf's face became less suspicious, and she said with her red lips slightly opened, "Formation can also be considered a kind of strength, but I heard that your family has added three more foundation-building cultivators, I don't know if it's true or not."

Chen An's heart moved and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He was afraid that this was the purpose of this woman coming to Yunwu Mountain!

He deliberately showed some surprise at the right time and said, "Fairy, you are so well-informed. Yes, a few years ago, my Chen family member Chen Fengshuo came back from other domains and brought back several foundation-building pills. In order to deal with the demon cultivators, I asked several family members who had perfected their Qi training to forcibly build their foundations. It just happened to succeed."

At this time, he could only bring out Chen Fengshuo to take the blame, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the origin of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Fairy Red Leaf's eyes were full of water waves, and she leaned forward a little, looking at the snow-white valley, and said, "So, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit in Daoyou's hand must have not been used yet. After a few years, it should be ripe again."

Chen An was slightly surprised. This scale was already comparable to the Chen family’s Yunwu Valley!

The aroma filled his nose and the white flowers appeared before his eyes, but Chen An had no intention of appreciating them. He said, "I still have a few in my hand."

Although he said so, he did not take it out immediately. Instead, he looked at the other person with a smile.

Fairy Red Leaf rolled her eyes at Chen An, then immediately understood and took out a storage bag:

"There are quite a few second-level spiritual plants in there, which should be enough to pay for the price of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit."

Chen An calmly scanned with his spiritual sense, his heart moved slightly, and immediately took out five Heavenly Spirit Fruits and gave them to the other party.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Fairy Hongye took the five spiritual fruits and frowned slightly: "Although the demon cultivators have retreated, they are still ready to make a move. If you have extra spiritual fruits, why not take them out? It will be good for everyone if Qingyun Sect has more foundation-building cultivators."
