Upon hearing this, Zhou Changwang had no choice but to say, "South District, last house, Courtyard 128.

But this Spirit Seed, I really can’t take it." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Just take it. These seeds are surplus to me.

By the way, my home is in the East District at the Gong Mansion. You can come visit me whenever you’re free."

As she spoke, Gong Bai Xue waved her hand and walked away briskly.

Zhou Changwang looked at the wooden box in his hand and could only shake his head helplessly.

As for the Gong Mansion,

he was truly unfamiliar with it.

"In the Fengming Dock Marketplace, I haven’t heard of any renowned Spirit Plant Master with the surname Gong. However, there is an Alchemy Master named Gong Fan, known as a Low-Tier Second-Grade Alchemist who can refine Second Grade Spirit Pills, of noble stature, one of the only two Second Grade Alchemists in Fengming Dock Marketplace.

Is it possible that Gong Bai Xue belongs to this ’Gong’ family?"

Zhou Changwang didn’t know much about the people in the marketplace. The only person with the surname ’Gong’ he remembered was this Gong Fan.

He muttered to himself without giving it much thought.

Then he walked toward his own small courtyard.

The journey was smooth.

Zhou Changwang soon returned home.

He then flipped his hand, and a token appeared in his hand.

A Spirit Plant Master Token.

His name was specially engraved on it.

Having this token indicated that he was an official Spirit Plant Master, equivalent to having a step up, ensuring that he could receive certain benefits regardless of which faction he joined.

Moreover, if he ever felt that his spirit planting skills had improved to a Middle Grade level, he wouldn’t need to undergo such troublesome examinations again. He only needed to showcase a spirit plant technique, cultivating a Mid-Tier First Grade Spirit Seed to maturity within a certain time in front of the Spirit Plant Hall examiners.

This was no challenge for Zhou Changwang.

In fact, he was already qualified to participate in the First-Grade Middle-level Spirit Plant Master assessment and complete his advancement.

The Perfection Level of Fertilization Technique could easily stimulate not just a Mid-Tier First Grade Spirit Seed but even a High-Tier First Grade Spirit Plant to germinate and mature in a short time.

Even with Second-Grade Spirit Seeds... of course, the required time would be uncertain.

Once a Spirit Plant reached the Second Grade, the amount of Spiritual Qi required completely changed.

Afterward, Zhou Changwang stored away the Spirit Plant Master Token and walked swiftly towards his backyard.

Spending the day out made him slightly worried about the Spirit Plants in his backyard, especially the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, which was about to mature and couldn’t be neglected.

So soon, he arrived at the backyard.

Ignoring the eager Spirit Dog running towards him.

His eyes swept over.

Everything was normal in the Spirit Field.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

The Spirit Gathering Grass was thriving, already preliminarily showing the effect of attracting Spiritual Power, giving him a refreshing feeling every time he was in the backyard.

After pulling out some overly fast-growing Spirit Grass, he used the Fertilization Technique and Spirit Rain Skill to aid growth and irrigation, then hurried to the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree planting area.

On the half-person-tall Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, each branch was bearing Thunder Spirit Rice, each grain plump and weighty, bending the branches and leaves of the tree.

Then, Zhou Changwang began casting.

First was the Fertilization Technique.

Then was Thousand Thunder Flashes.

By this time, it was inadvisable to cast Thousand Thunder Flashes too much, lest it knock off the Thunder Spirit Rice.

Zhou Changwang only cast it twice. Once the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree absorbed enough Power of Thunder and Lightning, he cast the Spirit Rain Skill one after another.

The scattered Spirit Rain quickly covered the entire Spirit Field, allowing the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree to fully expand.

"Judging from the growth speed of these Thunder Spirit Rice Trees, it looks like it will be ready to harvest in about two days."

Zhou Changwang silently compared the growth of the Thunder Spirit Rice and quickly reached a conclusion.

He felt a sense of joy.

It was then that Zhou Changwang remembered the Spirit Seed that Gong Bai Xue had given him earlier.

A Second-Grade Spirit Seed, the seed of the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree.

He took out the wooden box from the Storage Bag, which was sealed with a piece of Talisman Paper—a Spirit Locking Talisman, also a type of Basic Talisman used to preserve the vitality and Spiritual Qi inside the wooden box, commonly carried by medicine gatherers.

Zhou Changwang hadn’t mastered the Talisman Making Technique for this Spirit Talisman, but it wasn’t hard to recognize.

He tore off the Spirit Talisman and then opened the wooden box.

Before his eyes was not a small seed but a sapling already cultivated with roots and tender buds, no more than three inches long, looking like a small ginseng, yet imbued with a tremendous vitality, rich Spiritual Qi, and Spiritual Nature.

"This Spirit Seed is probably already at the pinnacle of Tier Two Lower Grade?

It’s worth at least three hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Fellow Daoist Gong’s gift is quite significant."

Zhou Changwang muttered.

Three hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones was not a small amount and equaled the half-year income of an ordinary Spirit Plant Master.

What kind of girl gives such a big gift the first time they meet?

Zhou Changwang recorded this in his mind. But since he had accepted it, there was no reason to return it. He surveyed around, looking for a suitable planting spot.

Finally, he chose a location facing east.

Pulling out the Spiritual Hoe, he dug a small pit and planted the Spirit Seed directly into it.

Of course.

At this point, the work was far from over.

Spirit Seeds are delicate, especially those transplanted, requiring continuous care.

Thus, he first irrigated with the Spirit Rain Skill, then assisted with the Fertilization Technique and Withered Wood Revival Technique, alternating several spells.

Ensuring that the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree was perfectly rooted under his care and began to grow normally, only then did he rest.
