Chapter 265: Planting
The white-clad woman neither accepted nor rejected Wang Hong's proposed trade conditions. Instead, she persistently inquired about the Thousand-Year Cold Star Grass, seemingly suspecting that Wang Hong had fabricated it to deceive her.
Helplessly, Wang Hong took out a single Thousand-Year Cold Star Grass and displayed it.
Even though it was a trade, he also had his own requests. Although there were many jade scrolls on formations within the sect's inheritance, self-study and guidance from experts made a significant difference.
Learning without guidance meant having to figure out every problem on his own, making it easy to go astray and unknowingly enter a dead end.
"Do you really have enough pills to completely heal my injuries?" the white-clad woman asked. She could sense that, given the effects of the pills she had used before, it would take at least a dozen more to completely heal her.
"I have some pills on hand, and if they are not enough, I will find a way to obtain spiritual herbs to refine more for you, Fellow Cai," Wang Hong promised.
"Very well, I am Cai Xuanzhi. In the future, I can assist you in learning the path of formations. Before delving into formations, you must first learn runes. Have you studied runes before?" Since she had agreed to the trade, Cai Xuanzhi quickly got to the point.
"I have previously practiced talisman crafting and have self-studied some basic runes," Wang Hong replied.
Wang Hong had spent at least a couple of hundred years studying basic runes.
"It's good that you've studied talisman crafting before. Runes are indeed common, so it should be easier for you to learn. However, the path of talismans is different from that of formations. I have some basic rune jade scrolls here. Take them back and contemplate. When you've learned enough, come find me," Cai Xuanzhi said, thinking that Wang Hong probably only had a superficial knowledge of runes.
She had a high regard for Wang Hong's alchemy skills, as being able to independently develop new pills was a rare talent. However, human energy was limited, and mastering one field was already difficult. Wang Hong's pursuit of both talisman crafting and formations seemed overly ambitious to her.
Nevertheless, their relationship was purely transactional, and she didn't want to say more. Their connection hadn't reached the point of deep conversation, and revealing too much might lead to embarrassment.
Taking the rune jade scrolls Cai Xuanzhi handed over, Wang Hong also took out a jade vial from his storage bag and handed it to her.
"Fellow Cai, I have six pills here for you. Please accept them," Wang Hong said, reserving two for himself. He would need to refine more healing pills when he returned, so it was wise to have some in stock.
In the future, he might frequently harvest these spirit fruits, so it made sense to plant a few here.
Currently, there were also some large and small Green Spirit Peaches hanging on the trees, with the larger ones even bigger than those given to Luo Zhongjie and his group.
After planting these three hundred-plus acres of spiritual fields, Wang Hong decided to stay here and found a place to live.
Entering his space, he remembered that he had received over six million Spirit Stones from Liu Changsheng this time. Originally, he planned to use these Spirit Stones to buy spiritual fields, but after seizing this piece of land from the Demonic Beasts, he saved a significant amount of Spirit Stones.
Zhao Ning and Skinny Monkey's shops had also used some Spirit Stones to treat He Yuan and Luo Zhongjie's injuries and purchase healing pills before Wang Hong's return. The remaining Spirit Stones were invested in the newly opened East Zhou Trading Company. They needed a substantial initial investment to procure goods from the Immortal Way Trading Company.
Wang Hong still had over five million Spirit Stones left. This time, he only expanded his space by twenty acres of land, so the remaining Spirit Stones were used to replenish daily Spiritual Energy consumption.
As the area of his space increased, time inside passed faster, and the daily Spiritual Energy consumption greatly increased. Therefore, he needed to keep more Spirit Stones on hand for replenishing Spiritual Energy.
His space originally had a hundred and thirty-five acres of land, with time passing at a rate of one hundred and sixty-four times that of the outside world. With the addition of twenty acres, the total land area reached a hundred and fifty-five acres, and time inside passed at one hundred and eighty-four times the outside world.
Wang Hong used the newly added twenty acres to plant second-tier Spiritual Herbs. In the future, he would have many followers at the Foundation Building stage who would also need a significant supply of second-tier Spiritual Herbs, so he wanted to be prepared.
Most of the Demonic Beast corpses he had collected had been digested and absorbed by the demon-hunting tree, turning into golden seeds. He had built a warehouse from dried wood, which was now filled with demon-hunting tree seeds.
In the area where he had previously piled the demon corpses, he had planted nine-leaf golden thread grass for refining Essence Core Pills.
After completing these miscellaneous tasks in his space, he began studying the basic Rune Jade Scrolls that Cai Xuanzhi had given him. Most of these runes he had already mastered, so it was mainly a matter of revising and learning a few he hadn't encountered before. He quickly grasped them all.
Back in the outside world, only two days had passed, and Wang Hong had finished studying the Jade Scrolls. He decided to return to Azure Void City to request new learning materials from Cai Xuanzhi.
