Little Liang Mountain

A Golden Spirit Sword was speeding in circles, as if searching for something.

Not finding anything, the Golden Spirit Sword quickly flew back into the Little Liang Mountain Illusion Array and disappeared from sight.

After a while, the Sentry Spider Puppets distributed around Little Liang Mountain suddenly began moving, roaming everywhere, carefully searching for something.

Soon, they confirmed the search results: there was no suspicious figure within a mile radius of Little Liang Mountain.

"Did they withdraw? Gave up?"

Li Mu frowned in confusion. Recently, he had often found people disguised as woodcutters and hunters approaching Little Liang Mountain, secretly observing the situation on the mountain.

Li Mu used the Sentry Spider Puppets to monitor them, confirming they were from a certain organization, using very professional stalking techniques.

However, for some unknown reason, they had all withdrawn, and even using the Sentry Spider Puppets, Li Mu couldn't find any trace of them for three consecutive days.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Being targeted by an unknown force was extremely stressful!

To be safe, Li Mu decided not to leave the mountain for the time being.

He would wait until the next batch of Spirit Plants matured and harvest them first!

After successfully drawing out the Hidden Spirit Vein and coupled with the Gathering Spirit Array's effect, the Spiritual Qi in Little Liang Mountain was several times denser than before, successfully turning eleven acres of Spirit Field into Middle Grade Spirit Fields.

The effect of the Middle Grade Spirit Field enabled the Spirit Rice, Cui Ling Fruit, and Wind Spirit Grass, these Tier One Spirit Plants, to absorb ample Spiritual Power, greatly speeding up their growth.

In about twenty more days, the Cui Ling Fruit and Wind Spirit Grass could be harvested, while the White Jade Spirit Rice would take slightly longer, about a month.

Li Mu carefully tended to the Spirit Field, and in his spare time, he modified the living environment, built a leisure bamboo pavilion beside a pond, and dug a cave on the mountainside next to the courtyard to serve as a grain storage warehouse. He also dug a wine cellar next door, intending to store homemade Spirit Wine there in the future,...

At night, he would either refine Spirit Talismans or dive into the Artifact Refining Room to refine Spiritual Artifacts.

Every day was filled with countless activities, leaving Li Mu with no time to think about anything else.

As for cultivation!

Just by farming and harvesting Spirit Plants, he could gain cultivation and proficiency in his Cultivation Techniques. The time Li Mu spent on cultivation was minimal.

As time flows like the river, the Spirit Plants in the field matured more and more each day, and the fragrance of Cui Ling Fruit began to permeate the air.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.

In the field where Cui Ling Fruit was planted, clusters of green and plump Cui Ling Fruits, the size of a thumb, filled the plants, with an average of ten fruits on each plant.

The Wind Spirit Grass had grown large, succulent green leaves, the plants sturdy, lush green, full of Spiritual Power, a grade higher than those previously planted.

The Cui Ling Fruit had matured and could be harvested!

Li Mu eagerly fetched the prepared bamboo basket and began picking the Cui Ling Fruit first.

Li Mu picked a Cui Ling Fruit, bit into it, a crisp sound of "crunch" was heard, followed by the sweet and sour, Ling Qi-rich juice blossoming on his taste buds, cool and crunchy, the taste was excellent.

Biting one Cui Ling Fruit after another, Li Mu held back after eating five or six, then suddenly realized a problem.

After picking the Cui Ling Fruit, Li Mu had not discovered any Plant Spirit Light Group.

Hmm!

Could it be that only after harvesting the Cui Ling Fruit plants would there be Plant Spirit Light Groups?

Li Mu took out a sickle from his Storage Bag, reached out to grab a Cui Ling Fruit plant, and cut it off at the root.

With a "tear!" sound, the Cui Ling Fruit plant was cut, and indeed, at the plant's wound appeared a faint purple light group, crystal clear and full of Spiritual Energy.

Seeing the faint purple Plant Spirit Light Group, Li Mu was overjoyed. He wondered what attribute enhancement this differently colored Plant Spirit Light Group would provide.

Li Mu quickly reached out to touch the faint purple light group, which immediately disappeared between his fingers.

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a Plant Spirit, Divine Soul +0.02]

Li Mu only felt a slight ripple in his Sea of Consciousness and looked at the character log panel to see a new notification.

The Plant Spirit Light Group of the Cui Ling Fruit could actually increase Divine Soul?

Li Mu's eyes widened with surprise, unable to contain his joy, he laughed heartily: "This nine-month wait was worth it!"

Though a 0.02 increase in Divine Soul wasn't a significant power boost, the effect accumulated over time could not be underestimated!

Li Mu had personally experienced the benefits of a strengthened Divine Soul: refining Spirit Talismans, Artifact Refining, remotely controlling the Spirit Sword all required consuming Divine Sense, and the Divine Soul was the foundation of Divine Sense.

The Quenching God Technique at level 5 had the effect of strengthening the Divine Soul, but that was an enhancement of Divine Soul quality, increasing the range of Divine Sense Projection, unable to directly improve Divine Soul in quantity like the Plant Spirit Light Group of the Cui Ling Fruit.

Li Mu immediately entered a frenzy of harvesting mode, no longer picking Cui Ling Fruit, but cutting down whole Cui Ling Fruit plants and placing them in the bamboo basket.

The faint purple light group after light group quickly disappeared between Li Mu's fingers.

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a Plant Spirit, Divine Soul +0.02]

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a Plant Spirit, Divine Soul +0.03]

...

Li Mu, energized as if on adrenaline, continuously felt the strengthening of his Divine Soul and the expansion of his Divine Sense range.

The fact that the entire Cui Ling Fruit plant needed to be cut down to harvest the Plant Spirit Light Group meant that the plants could not continue to bear fruit.

This made it unwise to plant Spirit Plants with long maturity periods in the future, such as the High-tier Spirit Plants that took ten or more years to mature, since they could be harvested only once per planting.

One acre of Cui Ling Fruit contained nearly ten thousand Spirit Plants.

It took about an hour for Li Mu to complete the harvest of all Cui Ling Fruit plants, gaining over 200 Divine Soul points.

Li Mu fully extended his Divine Sense and sensed the distance of perception. Originally able to control things within 150 zhang, now the range of Divine Sense perception had increased more than threefold to about 500 zhang, the improvement effect was remarkable.

Li Mu was thrilled. This level of Divine Sense power, affixed to a Tier Three Spirit Sword, was enough to control the Spirit Sword to fly three or four li away.

"Not bad, not bad at all! This way, I don't have to worry about being ambushed by enemies anymore!" Li Mu said with a smile.

Next, Li Mu planned to refine more Sentry Spider Puppets to broaden the warning area.

Li Mu carried several baskets of Cui Ling Fruit into the warehouse, planning to try brewing Cui Ling Wine when he had free time. After that, there were still nine acres of Wind Spirit Grass to harvest; today was a joyful day of harvest.

Li Mu held the sickle and went down to the Spirit Field, starting to cut and harvest Wind Spirit Grass batch by batch, picking up one Plant Spirit Light Group after another.

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a Plant Spirit, Free Skill Points +2]

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a Plant Spirit, Free Skill Points +1]

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a Plant Spirit, Free Skill Points +2]

...

The log panel in the character's virtual frame flooded with dense new notifications.

Perhaps due to the nurturing of the Middle Grade Spirit Field and the improved quality of Wind Spirit Grass, the number of Plant Spirits providing 2 Free Skill Points surged, doubling the harvest and doubling the joy.

Li Mu's smile was radiant, unable to contain his laughter, he worked even harder at the farm work.
