Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing quickly found Hua Lao.

"It's you." Hua Lao once again recognized this Formal Disciple who had cultivated Top-grade Spirit Rice.

Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands in a bow: "Greetings, Steward."

Hua Lao looked him up and down, then asked: "What is the matter?"

Xu Zhangqing quickly explained his purpose: "I have already saved up 2000 points, so I wish to exchange for a high-rank cultivation method or high-rank spell."

If I remember correctly, there are three in total.

They are: 【Wood Spirit Cultivation Technique】 【Wood Spirit Entangling Technique】 【Wood Spirit Health Preservation Technique】

When he could choose one for free back then, he chose 【Wood Spirit Entangling Technique】.

Therefore, he can still choose one between 【Wood Spirit Cultivation Technique】 and 【Wood Spirit Health Preservation Technique】.

Hua Lao understood upon hearing this, then took out a string of jade tablets.

Their number far exceeded three, at least over a dozen.

Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "Aren't there three types?"

Hua Lao smiled and explained: "Qi Refining Stage indeed only has three, but you are now Foundation Establishment Stage, so the cultivation methods and spells you can choose will increase."

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened, and he immediately checked the cultivation method category.

【Qing Emperor Longevity Art】

Can extend lifespan, initially twenty years more than others of the same realm.

【Yi Wood Spirit Transformation Sutra】

Converts Wood Spirit Power into Yi Wood Spirit Liquid, used for healing injuries or cultivating spirit plants.

【Forest of All Phenomena Art】

Can control Vine Armor Technique and Wood Escape Technique, using plants to hide one's figure.

These are the three high-rank cultivation methods for Foundation Establishment Stage selection; from their names one can tell how powerful they are.

Next are attack spells:

【Thousand Vine Strangulation Technique】

【Green Wood Thunder Tribulation Sword】

【Withering and Extinction Finger】

Then are defense spells:

【Xuanmu Golden Body Technique】

【Ten Thousand Spirit Wood Shield】

【Wood Spirit Substitute Tribulation Technique】

Next are auxiliary spells:

【Spirit Plant Communication Technique】

【Wood Spirit Void Step】

【Hundred Flowers Illusory Dream Array】

【Return to Heaven Sweet Dew Technique】

【Spirit Seed Awakening Technique】

【Ten Thousand Trees Same Spring Mantra】

Added up, there are three high-rank cultivation methods and twelve high-rank spells in total.

At this time, Hua Lao reminded: "These high-rank cultivation methods and high-rank spells can let you transition from Foundation Establishment Stage to Golden Core Stage, so choose carefully."

Xu Zhangqing heard this, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought silently.

Since they are high-rank cultivation methods and spells for transitioning from Foundation Establishment Stage to Golden Core Stage, they definitely cannot be chosen carelessly.

But as for cultivation methods, he already possesses the more heaven-defying 【Qinglian Creation Art】.

Therefore, they cannot be changed casually.

It seems he must choose one from the three major categories of spells.

After much thought, Xu Zhangqing showed a bitter expression and couldn't help but say: "I want them all!"

Whether attack, defense, or auxiliary type spells, all suit him.

But unfortunately 2000 points can only exchange for one of them, truly hard to decide.

Hua Lao smiled: "Go by your own needs."

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath, striving to calm down.

If he truly had to choose, he would definitely prioritize defense and auxiliary types.

He felt both 【Xuanmu Golden Body Technique】 and 【Ten Thousand Spirit Wood Shield】 were not bad.

The former could make his skin harden like Ling Wood, increasing resistance to physical strikes.

The latter could summon an ancient tree phantom to block spell attacks.

But as he looked, his gaze uncontrollably shifted to the auxiliary category, even directly locking onto 【Spirit Seed Awakening Technique】.

Hua Lao saw this and introduced: "This spell, when at a low level, can speed up spirit plant growth; its full level effect is to awaken grass and trees into shenjing, briefly transforming them into wood spirit guards."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: "So it's different from Dian Qing Finger; I thought it could have the same effect of causing spirit plant mutation."

After a while, Hua Lao asked, "How is it? Have you chosen which one?"

Xu Zhangqing said seriously, "I choose 【Xuanmu Golden Body Technique】."

Because of the Lightly Vitality Gourd, he possessed a 【Qingmu Protection Array】.

When encountering an attack, it could automatically defend.

Therefore, there was no need to choose a second defensive shield.

But speaking of which, since his Wood Spirit Root was still at the Early Stage and he was relatively weak in combat, he might as well push his defense to the highest.

After all, increasing the growth speed of spirit plants was already handled by the Green Lotus Domain.

If he chose 【Spirit Seed Awakening Technique】, wouldn't the two conflict?

Although it could, at Full Level, awaken grass and trees into spirits and briefly transform them into Wood Spirit Guards,

they were ultimately external objects and could become unstable and uncontrollable.

They might even be forcibly controlled by a more powerful Wood Spirit Root, which was not very safe.

Hua Lao said, surprised, "Defensive type?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Hua Lao handed over the jade tablet containing the contents of 【Xuanmu Golden Body Technique】.

Xu Zhangqing took it, his spiritual sense penetrated it, and in an instant, all the contents were inscribed in his mind.

The whole process was completed in an instant; after finishing, he returned it to Hua Lao.

After thinking it over, Xu Zhangqing asked curiously, "Steward, if I save up two thousand points again, can I choose another high-rank spell?"

Hua Lao shook his head, "This is a benefit for breaking through a realm; the first choice costs only 2000 points, but the next time it will cost 3000."

Xu Zhangqing scratched his head, "Three thousand? That's also acceptable."

He then bid farewell to Hua Lao, but did not leave; instead, he found a staff member to inquire about news of Golden Crow Vine Seeds.

Since this belonged to relatively advanced spirit plants, the points were a bit expensive.

Xu Zhangqing himself had only just over two thousand points; after exchanging for a high-rank defensive spell, only a pitiful 5 points remained.

Therefore, he had no choice but to submit another one hundred jin of Second-grade Spirit Field Produce in exchange for top-grade spirit rice before he could buy it.

Minus the one thousand seven hundred jin submitted for the task.

Eight hundred jin given to Li Lingbi.

One hundred fifty jin distributed to Hu Bugui.

Three hundred jin needed for brewing wine.

Five hundred jin to be sold later at the Loose Cultivator Market.

Now, top-grade spirit rice remaining was 【5050】 jin.

After driving Big Leaf Grass back home, Xu Zhangqing began planting without stopping.

Golden Crow Vine Seeds were the size of pigeon eggs, their surfaces covered in dense spiral patterns.

Both ends were sharp; one end was dark gold, the other bright red like fire.

In terms of quantity, Yu Caiqing, because she was refining pills, did not need many.

Xu Zhangqing chose to plant one hundred plants first, leaving the rest of the Spirit Field for Mingyue Grass, Mutant Mother Rice, and Mutant Child Rice.

The growth method of Golden Crow Vine was actually the opposite of Mingyue Grass.

Mingyue Grass absorbed moonlight at night to grow vigorously.

Conversely, Golden Crow Vine had to absorb sunlight during the day to grow vigorously.

Xu Zhangqing came to the edge of the Second Mu Grade-2 Spirit Field, intending to plant one hundred seeds around the Spirit Field.

However, this time, what was injected was not only Wood Spirit Power, but also Fire Spirit Power.

Golden Crow Vine possessed two attributes; at the seed stage, it was Wood Attribute.

As it grew, absorbing more and more sunlight, it would transform into Fire Attribute.

The Spirit Field Hundred Records stated that if a wisp of Fire Spirit Power was injected during planting,

then the growth speed would be faster, and the quality would also improve.

Other spirit farmers really could not inject Fire Spirit Power.

After all, most people actually only had one spirit root, which was the Wood Spirit Root.

But Xu Zhangqing was different; not only did he have the Wood Spirit Root, he had also awakened the Thunder-Fire Spirit Root.

In his Qi Sea, besides a pool of Wood Spirit Power, there was another pool of Fire Spirit Power.

Usually, it could basically only be used to make fires for cooking and brew medicinal liquids.

Now, he had finally found an opportunity to use it; he wanted to see what this Golden Crow Vine seed could grow into!!!
