Chapter 113: Organizing the Medicine Garden

Li Xuan spent a day and a night before he spread the several hundred cubic meters of Spiritual Energy‑infused soil, taken from the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan, across the whole space.

This raised the soil fertility in the space by one level, providing a solid foundation for future planting of various plants.

However, after a day and a night of toil, Li Xuan was extremely exhausted, with aching back and waist, and also very sleepy.

Suddenly, Li Xuan remembered the Hot Spring at the center of the space; it was a perfect spot, so he dragged his weary body to the spring.

Seeing the spring before him, Li Xuan said nothing, stripped his clothes, and jumped in.

"Splash!"

For a moment, water splashed everywhere.

Soon, Li Xuan surfaced, leaned against the spring pool, and wore a satisfied expression.

"So refreshing…"

Li Xuan said comfortably.

As time passed minute by minute, about half an hour later Li Xuan finally opened his eyes again; by then, all the injuries that Jian Douluo's sword aura had inflicted on Li Xuan were fully healed.

It turns out Li Xuan also hasn't cultivated enough Immortal Grade spiritual plants; he has only set aside fourteen mu of land for planting various Heavenly Material Earth Treasures and Immortal Grade spiritual plants, leaving the rest for future planning when he has time.

Next, the Heavenly Material Earth Treasures outside the Palm Heaven Bottle need sufficient time to develop on their own, which Li Xuan can control.

Then Li Xuan climbed out of the spring, used his soul power to evaporate the water clinging to his body, and changed into clean, tidy clothes.

Obtaining a fire‑attribute Immortal Grade spiritual plant is extremely easy, so Li Xuan, after the seventh soul ring, stopped further cultivation and aimed to acquire the eighth Immortal Grade spiritual plant.

Originally, moving to a small jar required spraying diluted Green Spirit Liquid, but due to the big green bottle's anomaly, the Green Spirit Liquid was never sprayed; nevertheless, Li Xuan has been wandering ever since, and only now has finally settled down.

Thinking of that, Li Xuan immediately took out a dozen or so bags of seeds from the Kongming Crystal, and planted them in the spots most suitable for their growth according to their characteristics.

Before finishing the planting of all the remaining Heavenly Material Earth Treasures, Li Xuan's area was left with only two small water jars.

Glancing at the Heavenly Material Earth Treasures he had just transplanted, Li Xuan thought for a moment, then proceeded to plant those Immortal Grade spiritual plants in the most suitable locations for their growth.

If cultivated for a while, Li Xuan's medicine garden will become even more splendid than the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan, with blossoms blooming everywhere.

Jian Douluo's sword aura has largely healed Li Xuan's injuries, but some minor wounds cannot be cured by his own soul power, so he set them aside for now.

The temperature of the spring water in the space is just right; soaking in it is extremely comfortable, and the Spiritual Energy in the spring is unusually dense.

Although he soaked in the spring, Li Xuan had still spent a day and a night and then another half day working the land, so he was far from rested. He returned outside his room, lay down for a short while and fell asleep. Back in his own courtyard, Gu Cong first checked the Spiritual Energy on the Lotus Platform; it had only consumed one seventieth of the energy, indicating that the formation required very little power to maintain.

Feeling the wounds on his body healing, Li Xuan quickly closed his eyes and quietly waited for the recovery.

The two water jars contain the Immortal Grade spiritual plants from outside the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan. The Spiritual Energy entering Li Xuan's body is also active; as soon as it entered, it began treating Li Xuan's hidden wounds.

Moreover, while healing the hidden wounds, it also raised Gu Cong's soul power level by one, from level 25 to 26.

If those Heavenly Material Earth Treasures grew within the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan's area, even with low cultivation, they could still persist that long outside Gu Cong and remain alive.

"Need to act more slowly!" Gu Cong slapped his forehead sharply, then hurriedly took the small jars containing the Heavenly Material Earth Treasures and Immortal Grade spiritual plants out of the Kongming Crystal.

Outside the City of Slaughter, aside from participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena, Li Xuan spends his time cultivating, hoping to use that free time to further raise his soul power level.

Those Immortal Grade spiritual plants are said to have a maturity factor; the younger they are, the weaker the effect. Li Xuan decided to temporarily use those plants, so he thought of transplanting them onto his own land to let them continue growing.

There are old friends like the Strange Fungus Sky‑reaching Chrysanthemum, Li Xuan's eighth soul ring Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and the Immortal Herb King Divine Saffron…

Seeing that there was no free space left for planting, Li Xuan's mind shifted and he left the Palm Heaven Bottle's space.

"The spring doesn't even have that function," Gu Cong said, looking at the water behind him with surprise.

"Without that spring, whether for cultivation or combat, you can't rely on it; if you're injured you can't go there for healing!" Li Xuan also smiled slowly, noting that the spring is essentially a moving water source that cannot replenish Spiritual Energy or heal injuries, making its usefulness very limited.

After testing, Li Xuan found that the spring outside the big green bottle's space, like the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan, cannot accelerate plant growth nor release dense Spiritual Energy; he doubts that planting Heavenly Material Earth Treasures there would allow them to recover quickly.

Now the Spiritual Energy in the spring cannot fully heal those injuries that are curable by the method.

The Spiritual Energy seeped through Li Xuan's pores into his body; he felt a warm sensation from within, and, feeling comfortable, he let out two hums.

Gu Cong tapped his calf, then quickly planted the Heavenly Material Earth Treasures at the far side of the spring pool according to their attributes.

He opened the water jar's lid, and Li Xuan saw the barely surviving Heavenly Material Earth Treasures and Immortal Grade spiritual plants.

All the Heavenly Material Earth Treasures and Immortal Grade spiritual plants to be transplanted were arranged; Li Xuan looked around, and the tiny medicine garden only had a few wilted plants, lacking any vigor.

Although Li Xuan hasn't been deliberately cultivating, Gu Cong's soul power level still rose to 26 on its own; presumably, Gu Cong will not be able to break through to level 30 anytime soon.

Li Xuan, as a professional medicine farmer, with seasoned yet unrefined methods, slowly planted a hundred Heavenly Material Earth Treasures, all of which were sown in the spring's area.

Li Xuan suddenly glanced at his Kongming Crystal; outside it still held a few immature Heavenly Material Earth Treasures. Those treasures require Gu Cong to transplant personally, and that task cannot be postponed any longer.

Gu Cong took a deep breath, then extended his hand, pouring the Spiritual Energy surrounding his body into the Lotus Platform, rapidly replenishing the previously consumed energy.

Now Gu Cong's hidden wounds are still not completely cleared, and his soul power level has also been raised. Before soaking in the spring, Li Xuan was already quite comfortable; there is no need to stay outside the cozy nest, as there are still many tasks for Gu Cong to handle.

Apologies, dear readers, my recent work has been taxing; I've been constantly striving. I missed a chapter yesterday; I aim to make it up today. If I can't finish today, I'll have to catch up tomorrow or the day after. Dear readers, I'm sorry.
