Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

On the other side of the medicinal herb field, there are rows of houses standing.

Those are the residences of the disciples who take care of the medicinal fields.

Because the entire medicinal field is an important part of the Valley of Spiritual Herbs.

Therefore, these disciples who look after the medicinal fields have all been selected through multiple rounds of screening. They are undoubtedly loyal individuals, and they must also be patient.

Lin Feng stood beside the medicinal herb field and said to Lu Zaian:

"Because of your special status,"

Therefore, you were not placed in the dormitory where the disciples gathered.

Behind the mountain, there is a new field cultivated by Elder Xiao, originally intended for experimenting with the cultivation of new medicinal herbs.

It's a pity Elder Xiao has passed away. You absorbed his memory fragments, and now you're in a good position to carry on his last wishes and manage things well.

Elder Xiao's memories were too vast, fragmented, and chaotic...

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Lu Zaian searched his memory for a moment before finding the information about the back mountain of the medicinal field.

"Oh, I know where that is."

In my memory, Elder Xiao was a person who was extremely obsessed with cultivating spiritual herbs.

Sometimes, in order to study the suitable temperature and spiritual energy concentration during the growth process of medicinal herbs, they can stay in the herb field for several days at a time.

Therefore, in order to have a place to rest, a simple cave dwelling was also built in the back mountain new field.

It's a pity that Elder Xiao himself never even got to live there once before he was murdered...

"Since you already know, then I won't see you off."

All matters concerning the medicinal herb fields are under the jurisdiction of the Pill Pavilion. If you have any requests or questions in the future, you can go to them. You should know this from your memories..."

After explaining everything, Lin Feng left without looking back.

He had completed all the tasks assigned by the Valley Master, and now he needed to return and report...

As for Lu Zaian, Lin Feng didn't want to pay too much attention to or get involved with him.

If it weren't for Elder Xiao's murder, Lin Feng wouldn't have given a second glance to a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator of Lu Zaian's age when he passed by.

This was not Lin Feng's arrogance, but rather the fact that the difference between the two was truly like heaven and earth.

Lu Zaian walked slowly through the medicinal herb field and arrived at the new field behind the mountain.

This is a flat area at the foot of the mountain, with a wide field of about two acres in size.

The same bright red banners were planted in the soil to suppress the cold poison.

Looking around, one sees only sparse weeds scattered across the wide fields, giving it a somewhat desolate appearance.

Amidst the weeds, there are also some unopened flower buds, about half a person's height, adding a touch of life to the field.

However, these tough weeds and wild grasses in the fields also received the nourishment of the spirit and began to grow wildly.

The stems and leaves of those weeds became as hard as iron, like sharp swords, randomly crisscrossing the field, forming a series of irregular sword marks.

These sword marks have shattered the living space that should have belonged to the flowers.

Lu Zaian noticed that many flowers only had one or two petals open.

Some flower buds were even unable to bloom because they were tightly entangled by weeds.

There are also some visible pests jumping and dancing around in the field, eating the petals that have finally grown.

"Three-Mysterious Flower? But its growth is just too touching."

The land's nutrients have been completely stolen by weeds, and pests are also gnawing at it.

The medicinal herb that Nitta is preparing to plant appears to be the Three Mysterious Flower.

Its petals can nourish yin and yang, and long-term use in medicine can also stimulate the potential of a cultivator's spiritual root and improve its quality.

Strictly speaking, this flower cannot actually be called the Three Mysteries Flower.

Whether this flower can mature depends on the concentration of spiritual energy and the length of time it needs to grow, and it is extremely fragile and delicate.

As the spiritual energy becomes more concentrated, the time required for the flowers to grow will also increase.

Correspondingly, the number of petals it can bloom with will also increase.

However, when the number of petals reaches three, a near-perfect balance is achieved.

With sufficient spiritual energy, this flower can mature fully in just one month and be ready for harvesting.

Within the Valley of Spirit Medicines and the Black Soil Mountains, cultivators typically harvest and use the herbs after they have reached the three-petal stage.

Because if it continues to grow, the spiritual energy and time investment required will far exceed the returns.

As time went by, people gradually got used to calling this flower "Three Mysterious Flowers".

Elder Xiao's purpose in cultivating this new plot of land was to successfully nurture flowers with four or even five petals or more...

"We need to cast additional spells to increase the spiritual energy concentration in the fields, and weeding and pest control must begin immediately..."

After looking around, Lu Zaian made a plan in his mind.

Next to these two acres of medicinal herb fields, there was a cave dwelling.

This cave dwelling clings tightly to the foot of the mountain, as if it were one with the mountain wall.

It cleverly extends into the interior of the rock wall, forming a relatively enclosed and tranquil space.

There is only one small rest room in the cave.

The interior furnishings are extremely simple, consisting of only a bed carved from stone, a stone table of the same hard material, and a matching stone stool.

Looking around, there was nothing else superfluous.

“Indeed, this place is deep in the valley, extremely safe, and no one will disturb me. It is a good place for quiet cultivation.”

He revealed his bone age, and from the outside, he appeared to be a Qi Refining cultivator in his seventies.

Although there is no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, as long as one takes good care of oneself, it is normal to live for another twenty or thirty years.

As for twenty or thirty years from now, if I am still alive and kicking, it might attract attention.

But we'll figure out a solution then.

.........

This is a mountain peak, as red and vibrant as fresh blood, piercing straight into the clouds.

At the summit, a figure draped in a robe resembling flames stood, gazing into the distance.

From here, you can see the verdant valley shrouded in clouds and mist in the far distance.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the soul lamps of disciples Mo Qi and Chen Yuan have been extinguished, and the plan to kidnap Xiao Fenlin has failed."

However, according to the report from the disciples who went to investigate, Xiao Fenlin also seemed to have died from self-destruction.

Upon hearing this sound, the figure slowly turned around.

His full head of red hair burned and danced like flames, with every strand standing upright and pointing to the sky, revealing an endless sense of arrogance.

Even his eyebrows were dyed a vivid crimson, and between his brows shone a mysterious and unpredictable flame pattern, shining brightly as if it were alive.

He stood with his hands behind his back, radiating an intensely hot aura that seemed capable of igniting and distorting the surrounding air.

Immediately afterwards, a cold, light laugh rang out, echoing across the mountaintop.

"Oh? Let's just forget about it if we fail."

I never intended to solve all the problems with just one Flame Spirit Pill.

Trading two disciples for a mid-grade second-tier alchemist from the Spirit Medicine Valley isn't a bad deal..."

"And what's next?" the voice asked.

"The essence blood needed to water the Bloodthirsty Demon Flower is far from enough. Continue to intensify the capture of rogue cultivators, and remember to be more discreet."

"Yes!" The voice faded away.

The figure in the fiery robe turned its head again to gaze at the distant valley, its pupils burning with a fervent flame.

"Hmph... Just wait, it won't be long before the entire Black Soil Mountain Range will be under the rule of my Fire Refining Sect."

And I, Chi Cang, will eventually step into that supreme Core Formation realm!
