As soon as Qin Ming arrived at Juxuan Pavilion,

he was warmly received by Shopkeeper Liao and escorted to a private room on the seventh floor.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, please have some tea." Guu Qingzhao personally brewed the tea for him and said with gentle grace.

Qin Ming raised the Spirit Mist Tea and took a sip; the aroma was enchanting.

"Fellow Daoist Guu, I've come here intending to purchase some spirit seeds from your pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Guu Qingzhao's eyes lit up instantly!

"May I know what spirit plants Fellow Daoist Qin plans to cultivate this year? Our pavilion's collection of spirit seeds is fairly complete."

Qin Ming straightforwardly said, "Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Plant Five-Colored Rice and Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Plant Red Silver Yellow Hemp."

The faint smile that had been hanging on the corners of Guu Qingzhao's mouth disappeared when she heard Qin Ming mention these two types of spirit seeds.

She was stunned immediately.

After a long while.

Guu Qingzhao finally came to her senses, asking uncertainly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, have you made up your mind? Are you sure about these two Tier Two Spirit Plants?"

Qin Ming nodded firmly.

"But... isn't Fellow Daoist Qin planting Beast Fang Rice anymore?"

"Starting directly with Tier Two Spirit Plants is quite risky; could it be somewhat inappropriate?"

Guu Qingzhao was utterly surprised that Qin Ming, having just become a High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, wanted to plant Tier Two Spirit Plants.

She was well aware of how difficult these Tier Two Spirit Plants are to cultivate.

Not to mention that even ordinary Tier Two Spirit Plant Masters of the Spirit Feather Sect would probably struggle with these two spirit plants.

These two spirit plants are among the most difficult to cultivate among Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Plants.

Qin Ming nodded again, earnestly saying, "I've already decided."

Guu Qingzhao, hearing this, had a complex expression. Although she found Qin Ming's talent for spirit plants astonishing,

she still wasn't optimistic that Qin Ming could successfully cultivate Tier Two Spirit Plants.

Afterward, Guu Qingzhao instructed someone to fetch the two different types of spirit seeds.

To prevent the spirit seeds from losing their spirituality, they were stored in two exquisite jade boxes.

Qin Ming opened the jade boxes; on one side were the multi-colored spirit rice, and on the other were dark green spirit seed granules.

He nodded again; the spirit seeds before him were about enough to plant the five mu of Spirit Field.

The Tier Two Five-Colored Spirit Rice is said to significantly enhance the mana cultivation of Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators, even providing certain benefits to Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, with extremely low yield and almost unavailable in the market.

This spirit rice matures in three years and has very high-growing requirements.

As for the Tier Two Spirit Plant Red Silver Yellow Hemp, its outer skin is the main material for refining high-tier talismans, making it quite expensive. Its leaves and mature fruits can be used in alchemy, making it valuable in every part, with a maturity period also of three years.

Although Red Silver Yellow Hemp doesn't have such high growing requirements, during its growth, it emits a woody fragrance that easily attracts a particularly troublesome spirit insect; not even the high-level Spirit Rain Technique works on them.

If not handled properly, it could lead to pest infestations or even plant death.

"Fellow Daoist Guu, how much are these spirit seeds?"

Guu Qingzhao smiled faintly and said, "These Tier Two spirit seeds are quite rare, and we have only these two boxes in stock, originally intended for auction."

"Since Fellow Daoist Qin needs them, we will prioritize your purchase."

"After a twenty percent discount for Fellow Daoist Qin,"

"The spirit seeds of Tier Two Five-Colored Spirit Rice are priced at fifteen hundred spirit stones."

"The spirit seeds of Tier Two Red Silver Yellow Hemp are priced at two thousand spirit stones."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, have you thought it through? If the cultivation fails, not only will you lose this large amount of spirit stones, but you'll also waste time and energy." Guu Qingzhao kindly advised.

Qin Ming smiled slightly and swiftly took out the spirit stones from his storage pouch to pay her.

Guu Qingzhao accepted the spirit stones and suddenly asked, "If Fellow Daoist Qin really manages to cultivate the two Tier Two Spirit Plants, would you be willing to sell a portion to our pavilion?"

"I can, but I'm also just trying it out, so Fellow Daoist Guu shouldn't have overly high expectations." Qin Ming replied after taking a sip of spirit tea.

The transaction was completed.

Qin Ming didn't rush to plant the spirit seeds in the Spirit Field.

Before deciding to cultivate these two spirit plants, he had already researched various spirit plant books, memorizing all the methods, steps, and key points for these two spirit plants.

Before planting the Five-Colored Rice, it needs to be soaked in a specially prepared cultivating spirit liquid for some time.

And the materials needed to prepare this cultivating spirit liquid weren't difficult to gather.

Qin Ming managed to purchase the materials from several nearby shops.

Back at the Cool Small Residence,

Qin Ming prepared the cultivating spirit liquid and carefully placed just a few Five-Colored Rice spirit seeds into it, as this was his first time preparing it and he wasn't sure if it would work.

In a few days, the results would reveal themselves.

Having done all this,

Qin Ming went out again, heading to the southern area of Qingyang Market.

After turning several corners, he arrived in front of a shop.

The Spirit Beast Pavilion.

Qin Ming stepped inside.

The hall was very spacious, with an ancient and elegant decor.

The business of the shop was booming, with quite a few cultivators already at the counter booking purchases of spirit beasts.

A sweet-looking young female cultivator politely greeted him, her voice crisp and clear like a bell, "Welcome, Fellow Daoist, to our shop. Do you have a particular spirit beast you wish to purchase?"

Qin Ming lightly coughed into his hand and asked, "I'm not here to buy a spirit beast. I wonder if your pavilion sells the dung of the Black-Maned Dragon Brown Horse?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

the cultivators in the hall turned their heads; among them, a few cultivators revealed playful smiles.

Who comes to the Spirit Beast Pavilion not to buy spirit beasts but to buy horse dung?

At this moment,

a middle-aged cultivator in luxurious clothing stepped out from the inner hall. The female cultivator who greeted them hurriedly called out "Shopkeeper" upon seeing him.

"Ah, isn't this Fellow Daoist Qin! Please come inside." The shopkeeper seemed to recognize Qin Ming and warmly invited him in.

Qin Ming hurriedly waved his hand, "I won't be having tea, about what I just asked..."

The shopkeeper was momentarily surprised, then chuckled, "Of course we have it! Fellow Daoist Qin, you can have as much as you need. For something this trivial, we won't charge spirit stones. Let's consider it a gesture of goodwill, ha ha ha!"

"No, fair is fair. If that's the case, I'll just ask somewhere else." Qin Ming didn't want to owe favors.

The shopkeeper awkwardly laughed, "Then in that case, just a few spirit stones will be fine."

Qin Ming needed the dung of the Black-Maned Dragon Brown Horse for a significant purpose.

Before planting Tier Two Spirit Plant Red Silver Yellow Hemp, the Spirit Field needed to be prepared in advance, using wood ash from burned spirit plant stalks mixed with horse dung and several other spiritual materials to enrich the Spirit Field.

To lay a solid foundation for the growth of spirit plants.

By now, many cultivators in the hall noticed his conversation with the shopkeeper and gradually recognized Qin Ming.

They came forward to greet Qin Ming: "Hello, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"So it's Fellow Daoist Qin, I was wondering."

"Fellow Daoist Qin must be purchasing horse dung for cultivating spirit plants, which seems quite reasonable, right?"

"Who was snickering just now?"
