Chapter 341: Chapter 302: Purple Crystal Bee

Ji An casually cast the Rejuvenation Technique, and the green brilliance enveloped the Earth Rock Rat.

The gray fur of the Demon Beast was tinged with green, and grass ’grew’ on its body. Among the grass, small white, pink, and blue flowers bloomed, with a faint floral scent wafting in the stone house.

Afterward, the flowers withered, and the grass wilted, with the previous abnormality vanishing like a fleeting illusion, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering.

"The second realm of Magic Intent Transformation, well done, Junior Brother!

I didn’t expect you to have practiced the Rejuvenation Technique to such a level, equivalent to carrying half of a Profound Origin Rebuilding Pill with you."

Chu Huai’ge praised, the flourishing Magic Intent just now felt like standing in the spring where all things are thriving.

Ji An grinned, thinking to himself how well Chu Huai’ge praised, speaking nonsense with a straight face.

If the spell’s effect could match the Profound Origin Rebuilding Pill, wouldn’t all the many materials with hundreds of years of age used in refining elixirs be mere grass?

"Senior Brother, you flatter me too much. If I can become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, perhaps I could reach the realm you mentioned."

He felt a bit embarrassed by the over-the-top praise.

Handing over the Earth Rock Rat, he asked:

"What do we do next?"

Chu Huai’ge shoved the treated Demon Beast into the Spirit Beast Bag and laughed:

"Of course, we teleport to Ningcui Cliff. Things are settled here, so it’s time for me to leave.

Thank you for the warm hospitality over the past two days. If I pass by this treasured place in the future, I’d love to visit again."

He deftly replaced the Spirit Stones that had lost most of their Spiritual Qi and walked into the center of the Magic Array:

"Junior Brother, come with me to take a look over there."

"Okay," Ji An took out a gift box, "Inside are a few Spirit Fruits from Red Flame Peak, a little something for you to try."

"Then I’ll accept it shamelessly."

Chu Huai’ge placed the gift box into his Storage Bag and added:

"The teleportation process is very stable. If you ever start the Magic Array for teleportation and feel a bumpy sensation, stop immediately and inform me.

One more thing, I will report the task completion to Diligence Hall, and they will send someone to inspect; you don’t have any plans to go out these days, do you, Junior Brother?"

Ji An walked into the Magic Array, "No, I will stay at Red Flame Peak."

Saying this, he activated the Magic Array, and after a white light flashed before his eyes, he found himself standing in front of his Master again.

...

After Chu Huai’ge took his leave, and upon sending him off, Ge Ying smiled and said:

"Come on, accompany me for a walk and let me show you the medicinal garden within Ningcui Cliff."

The Teleportation Array had been constructed, and she had no more worries.

In a few years, everything here would be handed over to the disciples to manage, and she could peacefully enjoy the last moments of her life.

"Alright, how many sect medicinal gardens are there in Ningcui Cliff?"

Ji An asked. Although he had stayed at Ningcui Cliff for several years, he lived a simple life and rarely wandered around.

The medicinal gardens were built at Spirit Vein Nodes, scattered throughout the vast mountain range.

Because only the Spirit Field near the Spirit Vein Nodes was of the highest quality, even without maintenance it could ensure the normal growth of Spirit Medicine.

The sect did not establish a medicinal garden at Red Flame Peak not only because the Gold and Fire Spirit Mechanism was too intense, making it unsuitable, but also because the Spirit Vein Node was inside the mountain, with a limited radiation range, offering little development value.

Moreover, there weren’t enough High-tier Spirit Farmers available.

"There are a total of four. The core node of Ningcui Cliff is Tier Two Middle Grade, and after the sect main Spiritual Vein was upgraded, it reached Tier Two Upper Grade.

In a few years, the spirit medicine being cultivated will successively mature, and by then all four gardens will be planted with spirit medicine for Chao Origin Realm Cultivators.

The medicinal garden in the grotto mansion is the core node, you’ve been there before, now I’ll take you to see the other three gardens."

Ji An hastily took out the Flying Shuttle and, under his master’s guidance, arrived before a waterfall on the mountainside.

Ge Ying surged with Magical Power and flew up, "Another node is here; there’s no place for the Flying Shuttle to stay."

Ji An put away the Flying Shuttle and asked in surprise:

"Is the medicinal garden behind the waterfall? Do we have to go through it?"

This was undoubtedly a Water Curtain Cave.

Ge Ying nodded slightly, using her hand to perform hand seals to manipulate the Dharma Prohibition.

The waterfall then parted to the sides, revealing a four-foot wide and one-zhang high entrance, with the rock walls nearby covered with moss.

"There’s a high-tier Water-Resistant Bead embedded at the entrance, and when the Mimic Array opens, the waterfall will part."

The two entered the passage, and Ge Ying continued to introduce:

"Water Element Spirit Plants like the Jade Water Spirit Lotus were originally planted here. In the future, they will be replaced with medicinal materials like Gui Water Ganoderma."

Ji An raised his brows with a smile,

"I originally thought the sect wouldn’t plant Water Element Spiritual Medicine, but now it seems there are quite a few of them."

Chao Origin Stage Cultivators require pills of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth elements, based on this point, the medicinal gardens of the sect should be complete with all Five Elements.

The passage was not long, only three or four zhang, with many thumb-sized Luminous Beads embedded on the top, like stars in the night sky.

The further they went, the narrower the passage became, and after passing through it opened up into a cave halfway up the mountain, with a large pool gathered below.

Water droplets occasionally fell, producing pleasant, ethereal sounds.

In his hand grew green lotus seedpods emitting a faint Spirit Light, dotted with clusters of blue Spirit Grass.

Ge Ying gestured with her hand, smiling:

"This is the smallest medicinal garden, and it also produces Thousand-Year-old Stalactite, only a dozen drops per year.

Here you only need to perform the Spring Breeze and Rain Skill once a day, I’ll do it daily until you take over and then assess as needed."

The disciple is already a Chao Origin Stage Cultivator, better suited to grasp the rhythm of spellcasting than her.

Ji An nodded slightly, with his skill in the Perfection Level of Cloud Dragon Rain Technique, once every two days was enough.

"Let’s go, let’s check the other two.

In those two gardens, Wood Element, Fire Element Spirit Plants are being cultivated.

The Earth Element, Gold Element Spirit Plants in the sect are being cultivated by Junior Brother Lin Mao, who has quite an understanding in Earth Element Magic."

...

The two of them flew around Ningcui Cliff once, and after checking the Medicinal Garden, returned to the mountain-top Grotto Mansion.

Ge Ying opened the Dharma Prohibition, entered the Medicinal Garden at the core of the Spirit Vein Node, "To enter these Medicinal Gardens, you need to carry the Array Plate with you, and you also need to know the Manipulation Technique.

The main plate of the Array Plate is kept by Diligence Hall, what I hold is the auxiliary plate, once you officially take over Ningcui Cliff, we’ll need to do a handover."

"Understood."

The two stirred up their Magical Power as they flew over the Spirit Medicine Field, stopping in front of the stone wall covered in green vines deep inside.

Ge Ying opened the Dharma Prohibition, revealing a passage full of stone steps, and asked:

"Do you remember the precautions I’ve told you before?"

"Of course I remember," Ji An nodded, "No Qi Flight, only walk up step by step."

"Yes, you must step on every single step."

The passage was quite narrow, the two walked one after the other, passing through the light curtain to reach the platform.

Ji An saw several large tits hopping in the void above, not knowing if they were the ones he had seen before.

Two Spiritual Peach Trees still stood tall, on the stoutest one, scattered with bright red peaches, only the leaves on the tree had almost all fallen off.

"These Top-Grade Spiritual Medicines will mature next year, yielding eight fruits, they’ll mature next year.

Normally, it can bear twelve fruits."

Ge Ying felt somewhat sad, she murmured,

"This Spiritual Peach Tree, I’ve watched over it for a hundred and twenty years, its life is coming to an end, as is mine."

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, Ji An opened his mouth, but in the end, didn’t speak.

At this time, all comfort seemed pale and powerless, the master’s life had also reached its last stage.

A finger-sized purple bee buzzed by, the sorrow of cultivators had nothing to do with it.

Ge Ying’s mood improved a bit, she pointed at the flourishing Spiritual Peach, showing a slight smile:

"This Spiritual Peach has been cultivated to Top-grade Level, this is my happiest accomplishment.

In my private Medicinal Garden, there is also a Tier Two Middle Grade Spiritual Peach, which will be left to the sect after I pass away..."

She talked on about many things, sometimes joyful, sometimes sorrowful, Ji An listened quietly, occasionally responding.

After a long time, Ge Ying gently shook her head, "When one gets old, they unknowingly start talking more."

Ji An showed a gentle smile, "Master, feel free to speak more, I love to listen."

"Haha, when did you learn to talk like this." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Ge Ying laughed, pointing at the bees flying back and forth, then said:

"Red Flame Peak now also has a Peach Garden, but the White Jade Bees prefer collecting nectar from Wood Element Spirit Plants’ flowers.

I’ve already bred a Purple Crystal Bee King, you should take the Purple Crystal Bees and eggs back, or else when the Fire Element Plants bloom, it will be wasted."

She walked to the beehive, took out a light purple cocoon, and said:

"Imprint the Blood Contract."

"Thank you, Master, you are very thoughtful. I’ve been so busy these years, I’ve neglected this."

Ji An bowed in thanks, pinching the Golden Light Technique to pierce his finger, then forced out fresh blood to perform the Blood Contract.

The blood formed a complex pattern in the air, swirling and wrapping around the cocoon.

The Blood Contract seeped into it, and after more than ten breaths, a white bee king with a tinge of purple crawled out.

Ji An caught forty or fifty Purple Crystal Bees, took away several hundred bee eggs and some honey.

...

The light flickered in the Teleportation Array, Ji An appeared in a stone house.

"Truly convenient and quick."

He sighed, took big strides out, placing the beehive in the orchard.

He called over several disciples, training the Bee King to remember their scent, otherwise, when picking Spirit Fruits, they could be attacked by the Purple Crystal Bees.

After finishing these tasks, Ji An quickly ate dinner and started casting spells on the Spirit Plants.

In the Spirit Field, dragon roars echoed, light filled the sky.

When he came to the Wood Element Spirit Plant Garden, Ji An noticed that the Blood Soul Xuan Yuan Tree had grown two inches taller than the previous day, showing a knowing smile, the effect of Chao Origin Stage Planting Technique was quite satisfying.

He took out a Bodhi Tree Seed from the Storage Bag, pinching the Azure Dragon Shocking Skill.

A Miniature Little Cyan Dragon hovered in the palm of his hand, letting out a dragon roar.

Dots of green light formed by Wood Element Technique Intent and various flowers wrapped around the seed, nourishing its life force.

The effect of the Magic Technique was strong, quickly replenishing the seed’s life force to its maximum, the magic intent could no longer seep into the seed.

Ji An infused his Divine Sense, sensing that the seed was already in a sprouting state, ready to take root and germinate soon.

He planted the Bodhi Tree Seed, sequentially releasing the Yellow Dragon Essence Enhancement Skill and Cloud Dragon Rain Technique.

The diffusion of nourishing and moisturizing aura, accompanied by the pattering Spirit Rain, a green little tree broke through the soil.

Ji An nodded in satisfaction, Red Flame Peak had added three rare Spirit Plants successively, thriving even more.
