Chapter 313: Chapter 143: 100 Years to Grow, 100 Years to Bloom, 100 Years to Bear Fruit (Part 4)
After another two hours, Zhou Changwang finally walked out of the Library Pavilion.
By now, the sky outside had already darkened somewhat.
He had originally planned to visit Shuiyun Pavilion to catch up with Qian Xiaoyue, but seeing the situation, he had to give up.
With nightfall, the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace would soon close its gates.
He still had many tasks to manage in the Little Peak Mountain Spirit Land and did not want to waste Spirit Stones staying overnight in the marketplace.
Thus, he hurried back to the Little Peak Mountain Spirit Land.
The journey was smooth.
Before darkness fully enveloped everything, Zhou Changwang successfully entered the Spirit Land of Little Peak Mountain, into his own courtyard.
Then, he busied himself with watering the various Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field, before heading to the kitchen in his courtyard, to start a fire and cook, steaming Thunder Spirit Rice.
"This time entering the marketplace, I finally gained some basic understanding of the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree seed."
Zhou Changwang glanced at the night sky and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Previously, although he successfully planted the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree seed and it had taken root, he still felt uncertain.
After all, each Spirit Plant’s characteristics and requirements for the Spirit Land vary greatly.
If one doesn’t understand their mysteries, even planting them successfully would inevitably affect the yield, even leading to the failure of producing Spirit Fruits.
If it were ordinary Spiritual Materials, Spirit Fruits, it would be fine; a poor harvest wouldn’t impact him much.
But this was a Third-Grade Spirit Plant, the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree.
It produces the Star Source Spirit Fruit that can enhance a cultivator’s Spiritual Root.
A poor harvest or failure to produce Spirit Fruits would mean a significant loss for him. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
He absolutely could not allow this to happen.
Now, finally, there were gains from the Spirit Plant Hall’s Library Pavilion.
Besides Elder Qin Ming’s mention of the need for the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree to absorb the power of Heaven and Earth Stars, he made new discoveries in the Second Layer of the Library Pavilion.
Notably, there was a volume of a Spirit Plant Master who accidentally acquired a Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree seed and documented his cultivation experience.
Of course.
The person did not ultimately succeed in cultivating it.
At the time, the Spirit Plant Master was already eighty years old when he acquired the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree seed, and after twenty years of expenditure in time, effort, and Spirit Stones, he managed to cultivate the tree up to the flowering stage.
That is, a tree age of over a hundred years.
But by then, the person exhausted his lifespan and succumbed.
Without his meticulous care, his disciple, only a First-Grade Middle-level Spirit Plant Master, couldn’t support the growth of the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree.
In less than a month, the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree withered away due to the lack of resources...
"However, that book, filled with the personal organization of experiences by that person and supplemented by his disciple, proved immensely useful to me in terms of cultivation experience and various insights."
Zhou Changwang’s heart couldn’t help but lift with excitement.
He now felt more confident in his ability to cultivate this Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree.
"However, from the notes,
cultivating this Third-Grade Spirit Plant, the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree requires consuming a considerable amount of resources.
The cultivator spent over eighty years and more than thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones on the tree of over a hundred years of age.
The main expenses were purchasing Vitality Spiritual Liquid and Heaven and Earth Spirit Ore."
Zhou Changwang, thinking about this, couldn’t help but feel a slight headache.
He suddenly recalled his previous experience when cultivating the Third-Grade Spirit Plant, the Hundred-Year-Old Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree, frantically purchasing Vitality Spiritual Liquid.
Back then, a significant amount of Spirit Stones was spent just to meet the growth needs for Vitality Spiritual Liquid.
Does he have to go through this again?
Additionally, he would still need to add various Spiritual Energy Minerals...
"Fortunately,
there’s no rush for Spiritual Energy Minerals.
They are only needed when the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree enters its hundred-year-old stage.
During the first hundred years of growth, it’s mainly reliant on Spiritual Qi.
It’s only during the second hundred years, the ’flowering phase’, and third hundred years, the ’fruit-bearing phase’, that it needs Spiritual Energy Minerals for supplementation..."
Zhou Changwang thought, his heart calming slightly.
However, his brows remained furrowed.
