Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 433 - 249: Consuming 1,000-Year Spiritual Liquid; Accelerating the Growth of Flame Prison Purple Wood
Thus, after weighing his options, Xu Ping expended over a decade of his lifespan to use the Secret Technique to fully mature this flower bud.
However, just at the moment the flower bud matured, the Spirit Worm almost instantly lost its senses, frantically rushing towards the flower bud.
Meanwhile, the Water Lake Mouse, although its eyes also shimmered with an uncontrollable desire, ultimately suppressed its impulse.
Though Xu Ping was not exactly aware of what kind of divine object this flower bud was, judging from the stark yet intensely fervent reactions of both the Water Lake Mouse and the Spirit Worm, it was evident that this flower bud must hold immeasurable significance to these two Demon Beasts.
For the time being, he divided most of the flower bud for the Water Lake Mouse, and gave a smaller portion to the Spirit Worm.
Since the two beasts devoured the flower bud, they had remained in their current weakened state.
Seeing this, Xu Ping hurriedly observed the condition of the two beasts carefully.
After a careful examination and contemplation, he speculated that the two beasts were exhausting all their strength digesting the massive energy contained within this flower bud. After confirming there was no threat to their lives, his heart finally eased down slowly.
"Hmm!"
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing Xu Ping’s instruction, the two beasts replied weakly and dragged their weary bodies, teetering towards their chambers.
"I wonder how long it will take for them to digest this flower bud?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Xu Ping shook his head helplessly, with some concern in his heart, but he also understood that such matters could not be rushed.
Then, he diverted his attention from the two beasts and began focusing on setting up an Array within his cave abode.
This busywork lasted a whole day and night.
Once the Array was set in place, Xu Ping did not rest even for a moment but went straight to the medicinal garden attached to his cave abode.
This medicinal garden wasn’t large, but its soil was rich and fertile, with the abundant Spiritual Qi within it flowing like a gentle stream, making it evidently an ideal place for cultivating Spirit Plants.
Xu Ping took out the Flame Prison Purple Wood and carefully planted it in the medicinal garden.
"Fall!"
Xu Ping stood in the center of the medicinal garden, rapidly forming seals with his hands, performing the Ten Thousand Trees Spring Skill.
In an instant, a mystical blue cloud appeared out of thin air, floating above the previously clear sky of the medicinal garden.
This cloud emitted a gentle glow, enveloping the entire garden.
Soon after, countless tiny blue raindrops began drifting down from the cloud.
These raindrops were like fine threads, drifting and drifting, gently landing on the Flame Prison Purple Wood.
Each droplet of blue rain contained rich and thick Vitality Power, merging swiftly into the Flame Prison Purple Wood upon contact.
Under the effect of the Ten Thousand Trees Spring Skill, the Flame Prison Purple Wood seemed to come alive again, beginning to show vigorous vitality.
Its branches began to stretch out, and its previously dull leaves turned bright, with strands of red veins flickering on the leaves, glowing like flowing flames.
"Transplantation successful!"
Witnessing this scene, a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Xu Ping’s mouth.
Although this environment was unsuitable for the growth of the Flame Prison Purple Wood, it was still successfully transplanted under the powerful effect of the Ten Thousand Trees Spring Skill.
Of course, this was merely a preliminary success; the Spiritual Wood’s condition was not stable yet.
It still requires some patience to let it grow for another period. Once its roots are firmly established, only then can the maturation process be attempted.
"If the Flame Prison Purple Wood can truly be matured to the ten-thousand-year level, the power of my Lifebound Magical Treasure might reach an unimaginable level."
Thinking of this, an involuntary flicker of intense excitement flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.
After all, crafting a Lifebound Magical Treasure with millennia-level Spirit Wood was almost as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the entire Nanchuan Cultivation Realm, perhaps even something no one had ever achieved.
However, for now, everything is just a hypothesis—not even close to fruition.
One crucial factor in whether the Flame Prison Purple Wood can be matured to the ten-thousand-year level is the amount of lifespan consumed during the process.
If the lifespan consumption is too immense, far beyond what I can bear, then whether to continue with this matter must be weighed and considered prudently.
Alternatively, I can choose to temporarily slow down the plan of crafting the Lifebound Magical Treasure.
Once I find more rare treasures that can extend lifespan in the future, allowing my lifespan to increase significantly, then I can undertake this matter again.
After all, theoretically speaking, as long as there are enough lifespan-extending treasures, his lifespan might achieve infinite growth.
By that time, there would be more confidence and resources to pursue the crafting of higher-level magical treasures.
Xu Ping carefully checked again, ensuring there were no issues before returning to his cave abode.
Next, it was time to take the millennium Spiritual Liquid he had been yearning for.
However, he did not consume it blindly.
Instead, he spent a few days recuperating and adjusting to peak condition before beginning to take it.
Four days later.
Xu Ping sat silently cross-legged on the stone bed, his expression calm yet with a hint of hidden anticipation.
He took out the quasi-Tier Three lifespan extension Spirit Fruit and swallowed it.
A short half hour passed.
"Seventy years of lifespan extended, and Longevity Skill proficiency increased by seventy points!"
Xu Ping’s lips curled upwards to reveal a satisfied smile.
The Golden Core Level Longevity Skill was indeed extraordinary. Previously, consuming a similar Spirit Fruit could extend a lifespan by at most fifty years, which was pretty much the limit.
But this time, it increased by twenty years more, which greatly ignited Xu Ping’s expectations for the effects of the forthcoming consumption of millennium Spiritual Liquid.
