Chapter 26: Spirit Plant Points! Let me surge wildly!

Wang Shan focused his mind.

His consciousness sank down, entering that wonderful place only he knew of—the Spirit Plant System.

The system had been upgraded last time, and the interface felt a bit clearer.

The Batch Planting and Batch Ripening functions now looked especially important, like a lifeline.

He glanced at the corner of the interface.

There he saw his current Spirit Plant Points.

Over three hundred points.

This was what remained after he finished off the Wan family steward last time.

Wang Shan stared at that number and took a deep breath.

He felt urgent; time was short.

It was literally a race against the Grim Reaper.

He first went to check the spirit field.

The ten-mu spirit field had been greatly improved with Jade Spirit Liquid.

Plus, the Misty Spirit Gathering Array continually gathered spirit energy, making the soil fertile and vigorous.

It was very suitable for planting things.

He couldn't wait any longer!

Without hesitation, he immediately selected seeds in the system's seed library.

Clear Heart Grass.

Condense Spirit Flower.

Both are first-order spirit plants and grow quickly.

Of course, they yield few Spirit Plant Points.

But with his funds so low now, he needed to quickly earn back points and roll over his capital.

Activate Batch Planting!

Wang Shan's thought moved.

The Clear Heart Grass and Condense Spirit Flower seeds in the system warehouse instantly turned into light spots and were evenly scattered over the ten mu of fertile field.

The light spots flickered.

As soon as the seeds hit the ground, green shoots sprang up, growing incredibly fast, utterly unreasonable.

In just a few breaths, the empty ground was covered with lush green seedlings.

The whole process went smoothly, using only a few Spirit Plant Points to start.

But this was just the beginning.

Wang Shan's eyes were sharp, fixed on the spirit plants that had just sprouted leaves.

Next, this step truly consumed Spirit Plant Points and was the most crucial—Batch Ripening!

He quickly calculated in his mind.

The system prompt indicated that ripening these basic spirit plants to harvestable state would likely cost about two hundred Spirit Plant Points.

"System, ripen!"

He immediately issued the command, his voice steady, revealing determination.

Instantly, a strong light shone above the spirit field.

An invisible but powerful surge of life energy rushed down, precisely entering each spirit plant.

The pale green shoots visibly grew taller, branched, and sent up flower stalks...

The pale blue Clear Heart Grass swayed gently, emitting a calming fragrance.

The light purple Condense Spirit Flower also bloomed, exuding a special scent that helped focus the mind.

The whole process was very fast, taking only about a quarter of an hour.

Just moments ago it was a lush green field; now it had become a blue-purple sea of flowers.

【System Prompt: Batch Ripening complete, consumed Spirit Plant Points: 215 points.】

The system's prompt tone was cold, but Wang Shan's heart felt warm.

He didn't pause at all, immediately opening the next function.

Batch Harvest!

With the command, it was as if an invisible pair of large hands swept across above the spirit field.

All the mature Clear Heart Grass and Condense Spirit Flower were instantly harvested, sorted, disappeared from the field, and automatically went into the system warehouse.

【System Prompt: Harvested Clear Heart Grass 1250 stalks, Condense Spirit Flower 1180 stalks.】

【System Prompt: This harvest yielded a total of 850 Spirit Plant Points!】

He looked at the Spirit Plant Points.

Originally over three hundred, after spending 215 points to ripen he had a little over a hundred left; now it jumped to over nine hundred, nearly a thousand!

Wang Shan's tense heart relaxed a bit.

Next, he felt extremely exhilarated!

It works!

This method absolutely works!

He hurriedly suppressed his excitement and opened Batch Planting again.

This time, he did not choose Clear Heart Grass or Condense Spirit Flower again.

He looked toward another first-order spirit plant—the Spirit Blood Branch.

Spirit Blood Branches grow a bit slower; hastening them requires more Spirit Plant Points—about four hundred.

But one harvest can yield over fifteen hundred Spirit Plant Points!

To quickly gather eight thousand five hundred Spirit Plant Points, we must aim to earn more!

Seeds were sown again, and tender shoots sprouted once more.

While waiting for the Spirit Blood Branches to grow enough to be hastened, Wang Shan wasn't idle.

He devoted part of his mind to watching the system's spirit field.

Another part of his mind kicked in, and he began using the system's Introduction to Alchemy knowledge.

He got the simplest alchemy furnace from the system mall, plus some auxiliary herbs needed for making Return Spring Pills.

The main ingredient, Rejuvenation Grass, is plentiful in the system storage.

Now the family is under siege, and pills cannot be brought in.

The few pills he had refined earlier are nowhere near sufficient.

He needs to quickly learn alchemy.

Even low-grade pills will suffice.

They can save lives in crucial moments.

They can also give anxious family members hope.

Flames rose, and the medicinal aroma drifted out.

He had tried a few times before.

This time he was more practiced at making Return Spring Pills.

He still isn't very skilled at controlling the fire and spiritual power.

Sometimes a slip yields a furnace of waste.

But he didn't get discouraged.

He adjusted over and over, trying again and again.

At last, the medicinal essence sealed into the pills, and the furnace lid opened.

Over twenty low-grade Return Spring Pills appeared.

The pills have a grassy aroma and look acceptable.

They are low grade and their potency is ordinary.

But now, in this situation, there are no resources left.

Each pill is precious.

They can truly heal wounds and restore strength.

Wang Shan carefully stored these pills.

Now the Spirit Blood Branches in the system space have matured and can be hastened.

"System, hasten!"

He again poured in Spirit Plant Points.

A flash of light, and the Spirit Blood Branches quickly matured.

Soon, the first batch of mature Spirit Blood Branches was harvested.

【System Prompt: Harvested 980 Spirit Blood Branches, gained 1650 Spirit Plant Points!】

He saw the Spirit Plant Points balance exceed two thousand.

Now there are over two thousand three hundred Spirit Plant Points.

Wang Shan's heart beat a little faster.

He glanced again at the system mall.

There, two items glowed.

【Array Core Enhancement Module (one-time)】, costs 5000 Spirit Plant Points.

This item can greatly enhance array power in a short time.

It is crucial for defending the Wang Family.

【Obstacle-Breaking Pill】, costs 3500 Spirit Plant Points.

This pill can help late-stage Body Refiners break through bottlenecks.

It is his hope to reach the eighth layer of Body Refinement and stand against Wan Hong.

Together they demand eight thousand five hundred Spirit Plant Points!

He has only just gathered over two thousand Spirit Plant Points—just a fraction.

Time is running out.

Wan Hong could lose patience at any moment and launch a full-scale attack!

Wang Shan's eyes grew steely, as if fire burned within.

"Continue!"

He cried out in his heart.

"Make me plant madly! Harvest madly!"

He was shouting in his heart.

He must race against time, working desperately.

He began to grind nonstop.

Sowing, hastening, harvesting, and so on.

Alchemy, summarizing experience, then continuing alchemy.

He focused his spirit intensely.

He almost lost track of time.

His whole mind was on this repetitive, hopeful task.

On the system interface, the Spirit Plant Points number slowly but steadily increased.

With each extra point, the Wang Family's hope of survival grew.
