Chapter 424 - Chapter 424: Chapter 124 Perfect Condition of the Spirit Plant (2/2)
……
thereafter.
lin jing summoned the system, and instantly, a panel appeared above the eternal life vine, and lin jing directly started to check the status of this millennium vine.
eternal life vine (fifth-rank) (perfect)
current environment: immortal crossing island.
environment match, perfect state, rapid growth, time remaining until maturity: 4996 years.
……
even in its perfect state, the millennium vine still required 5000 years of growth time.
for a golden core cultivator with a lifespan of at most five hundred years or even a nascent soul cultivator with a thousand years, waiting for the millennium vine to mature was simply impossible.
no wonder higher-rank spiritual plants are rarer—the cultivation of such a plant without the efforts of several generations is practically unfeasible.
perhaps only those long-established large sects would engage in such endeavors.
lin jing, because of the existence of system space, needed much less time for cultivation.
but still, even with the fivefold flow of time speed boost of a level 5 system space, it would take a thousand years for the millennium vine to mature.
such a long time, lin jing certainly could not afford to wait; only by using the spiritual plant acceleration function might it be feasible.
and using the spiritual plant acceleration function required a considerable amount of harvest points…
therefore,
lin jing still needed to try to obtain as many harvest points as possible.
in this way, no matter what elixir medicine he needed to refine, as long as he needed spiritual plants, he could directly hasten their maturity, without having to wait such long periods…
after checking the growth status of the millennium vine, lin jing immediately closed the system’s panel.
by now, his divine sense was almost exhausted, and even his head felt a bit heavy.
what lin jing most needed now was to meditate and recover as quickly as possible.
meditating in system space was certainly not an option.
the flow of time in system space was meant for alchemy and couldn’t be wasted so casually…
thereafter.
lin jing immediately summoned the system and left system space, then started to sit cross-legged in the alchemy room at the mountain peak to recover…
……
he didn’t know how long he had sat in meditation, but as lin jing was restoring himself, he suddenly felt a disturbance in the formation guarding the northern forbidden area of li yan island.
this disturbance abruptly awakened lin jing from his meditative state.
upon being awakened, lin jing’s brows furrowed slightly, then he extended his divine sense outside of the formation.
when he sensed the person outside the formation, lin jing immediately relaxed.
it turned out that the person outside the formation was none other than zhang jian, who was currently standing outside, looking into the formation.
clearly, zhang jian had been stopped by the formation.
seeing this, lin jing took out an array plate from his storage bag, then infused spiritual power into it, and in an instant, a formation prototype appeared above the array plate.
after a series of manipulations, a doorway appeared on the prototype.
then,
lin jing stood up and left the alchemy room.
by then, the heaviness he had felt had disappeared, and lin jing had recovered about seventy to eighty percent.
presumably, a considerable amount of time had passed.
upon leaving the alchemy room, lin jing looked up to the south.
soon enough, he saw a figure flying on a sword toward him.
this person was zhang jian.
upon seeing lin jing, zhang jian descended directly in front of him.
as soon as he saw lin jing, zhang jian started to complain:
“brother lin…”
“seeing you is indeed difficult…”
“why do you encompass the whole of the northern part of li yan island? if someone didn’t know better, they might think there’s some rare treasure hidden here.”
lin jing replied with a smile:
“i merely dislike being disturbed…”
to lin jing’s response, zhang jian could only purse his lips and say nothing more.
lin jing then inquired:
“brother zhang, how’s the preparation for the formation flags needed for the array?”
zhang jian replied with a laugh:
“don’t worry, everything is ready. we’re just waiting for yue qiniang to come out of her retreat, and then we can directly head to the tribulation.”
lin jing nodded and then said:
“brother zhang, let’s go…”
“first, let’s go inside the house, brew a pot of tea, and we can chat while we drink…”
zhang jian responded:
“sure…”
“i can’t miss out on the spiritual tea cultivated by yue qiniang.”
saying this, the two men walked towards the small courtyard on the mountain peak where lin jing resided…
once inside the house, lin jing brewed the spiritual tea, pouring a full cup for each of them.
then,
zhang jian, unable to wait any longer, immediately picked up the teacup and took a sip. after finishing, he let out a satisfied sigh:
“ah…”
“this spiritual tea, worthy of being specially cultivated using the shenglin revival wood technique, has a fragrance that surpasses other teas by far.”
“moreover…”
“the spiritual power contained within it is incomparable to that of other spiritual teas…”
“the only pity is that the shenglin revival wood technique is too draining to use for cultivating spiritual tea—it seems wasteful…”
“if it were me, i definitely wouldn’t have the heart to do so…”
