Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Lu Yan earnestly advised, "The Nine-Revolution Star Grass is no ordinary Seven-Grade Spirit Plant; it requires simultaneously absorbing the starlight of nine stars.

And day and night without cease, continuously for ninety-nine years.

If even one star's starlight goes awry in between, a single leaf will wither, and at that time the entire grass will be ruined.

Why not, you consider carefully once more?"

He raised his hand and waved, and several lines of text emerged in the Inch Mirror — information on several other spirit plants.

Xu Zhangqing glanced over them casually and discovered they were all spirit plants one tier lower.

At this moment, he heard Lu Yan speak again: "If you want to produce results in the Spirit Plant Bureau, you might try these few.

Star-Pattern Hundred-Leaf Orchid, Six-Grade Spirit Plant.

Leaves can weave star-patterned Daoist robes; market demand is large.

Cultivation difficulty is moderate, not easy to fail.

Jade Marrow Spirit Ginseng, Six-Grade Spirit Plant.

Harvest in a hundred years; medicinal effect stable and uses broad.

Within the Spirit Plant Bureau, there are ready-made cultivation methods for reference.

Purple Qi Coming East Vine, Six-Grade Spirit Plant.

Vines can refine Binding Immortal Rope; finished product in the Trading Hall is in short supply, cost-effectiveness extremely high."

Seeing the other party was sincere and not perfunctory, Xu Zhangqing was actually a bit surprised.

Lu Yan said seriously, "These spirit plants can all be grown in Fourth- or Fifth-Grade Spirit Fields.

With your identity, planting them is not shameful, and the difficulty is not too great."

However, Xu Zhangqing did not rush to answer after hearing this.

This Spirit Plant Bureau Director, because he was a parachute appointee, did not deliberately make things difficult.

He welcomed when he should welcome, probed when he should probe.

In terms of measure, he grasped it just right.

This current advice was also for his consideration.

But good intentions aside, Xu Zhangqing had his own ideas and plans: "Director Lu's good intentions, this one has them in mind.

Only, the Nine-Revolution Star Grass I still must plant."

Lu Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but swallowed it back.

He saw it — this person was set on it.

Further persuasion would instead be unbecoming.

Immediately he took a deep breath, pressing down that bit of helplessness in his heart.

Fine.

Since you yourself insist on planting, then I'll give it to you.

Lu Yan spoke no more nonsense; through the Inch Mirror he sent over the Nine-Revolution Star Grass seeds.

At the same time, Xu Zhangqing's Disciple Token trembled lightly, information emerging.

Deduct Faith Points: ninety thousand.

Current Balance: ten thousand Faith Points

Must be said, the Spirit Plant Bureau's internal channels are indeed much cheaper than the Trading Hall, but even so, it nearly emptied the bit of savings just obtained.

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the balance, expression thoughtful.

Lu Yan in the mirror gave him one last look, as if still wanting to exhort something, but ultimately gave up, instead cupping hands across the air: "Since Junior Brother Xu insists so, then Lu will await your good news."

Xu Zhangqing also cupped hands: "Easy to say, easy to say."

As the spiritual light on the Inch Mirror dissipated, Lu Yan disappeared.

He placed the Creation Brush on the inkstone, spread open his palm.

In his palm, there were now some seeds.

Nine-Revolution Star Grass seeds.

Seven seeds in total.

Each no larger than a mung bean, presenting an extremely deep dark purple.

But that purple was not uniform.

On the seed surface, distributed nine silver light points finer than a needle tip.

Xu Zhangqing pinched one seed at his fingertip, leaned close and examined it carefully.

Beneath the dark purple seed skin, faintly liquid light flowed.

That was not spiritual power, but something more pure — starlight.

This seed, after leaving the mother plant, could actually seal the residual starlight within its skin, preventing dissipation.

Just this point alone is sufficient to show it is no simple thing.

Ordinary spirit plant seeds, once separated from the mother plant, retain only a thread of hidden vitality; they must enter soil before they can re-absorb spiritual energy, thereby taking root, sprouting, flowering, and fruiting.

But the Nine-Revolution Star Grass seed is different — it is like a miniature Spirit Tool.

Able to lock in starlight, and also able to lock in spiritual power.

Xu Changqing held the seed in his palm, then looked at the Attribute Panel.

Nine-Revolution Star Grass Seed

Status: Dormant

Spiritual Energy Storage: Overflowing

Seed Skin Integrity: Ten Parts

Embryo Vitality: Extremely Strong

Comprehensive Evaluation: Upper Grade

Xu Changqing then checked the remaining six seeds one by one.

The results were exactly the same.

Every single one was Upper Grade, not a single one was defective.

Seeing this result, Xu Changqing couldn't help but glance at the Cizhi Mirror.

This Lu Yan, although he advised caution with his mouth, when it truly came time to give the seeds, he didn't cut corners on a single grain.

All seven seeds were Upper Grade.

What does this show?

It shows Lu Yan has a bottom line in his conduct!

Even more it shows this Spirit Plant Division's Division Chief knows clearly in his heart that the higher-ups' decision he cannot change, but the matters he handles, he will certainly do them properly.

At the very least, he won't let anyone pick out half a flaw.

As expected, to be able to sit in the Division Chief position at the Beidou Immortal Mansion, he absolutely cannot be some mediocre person.

Xu Changqing withdrew his gaze, placed the seven seeds in a row on the Stone Table, and began calculating how to plant them.

Nine-Revolution Star Grass, Seven-Grade Spirit Plant, growth cycle ninety-nine years.

For others, these ninety-nine years are iron law, not a single day less will do.

But for him, not necessarily.

Creation Power can simulate starlight, the "Creation Heavenly Scripture" Fourth Layer "Transformation" can even create matter out of nothing, converting starlight is nothing to speak of.

Besides that, the ripening methods Xu Changqing accumulated in the Tianyuan Realm are not for show either.

During those days as a Spirit Farmer, the spirit plants that passed through his hands were no fewer than a thousand kinds, and ripening methods even more numerous, enough to write a book.

If all these methods are used, to what extent the ninety-nine year growth cycle can be compressed, even he himself has no bottom in his heart.

And the most critical reliance is still not these.

Xu Changqing's mind moved, and he summoned another batch of spirit plant seeds.

These all come from the Three-Eyed Clan.

The Three-Eyed Clan, one of the Outer Realm Foreign Races.

Born with three pupils, able to see what ordinary people cannot see.

These are the Three-Eyed Clan's most core star-type spirit plants.

Star Core Purple Chen Seed.

When cultivating other spirit plants, this item's role is irreplaceable.

Firefly Star Heart Grass.

It will automatically gather and purify the surrounding scattered starlight and spiritual energy.

Rift Universe Star Pupil Flower.

This flower's most special point lies in its petals opening and closing periodically.

Each opening and closing can produce an extremely fine Space Rift.

This rift will precisely cut out a small piece of independent space undisturbed by the outside world, just right to lock in starlight and prevent its dissipation.

Ten Thousand Calamities Star Marrow Wood.

Among the four, its grade is the highest.

This wood's growth is extremely slow, but its wood quality innately carries "Star Marrow", able to use its root system as a link to concentrate and conduct scattered starlight from different areas to one place.

If the Ten Thousand Calamities Star Marrow Wood is planted in the center of the Spirit Field, it acts like a natural control hub, able to bring the effects of the other few spirit plants to their utmost.

These four spirit plants combined together will form a closed loop.

The Purple Chen Seed is responsible for stable output of starlight, the Star Heart Grass for gathering and purifying, the Star Pupil Flower for locking in starlight and preventing dissipation, the Star Marrow Wood for unified coordination.

The four cooperating together is simply seamless.

And this is where Xu Changqing differs from others!
