Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Ye Zhenzhen walked south for half a day, picking many first and second-tier spiritual herbs and planting them into the Vitality Pearl.

Around noon, Ye Zhenzhen stopped under a huge banyan tree.

Ye Zhenzhen prepared to take a break and sort out the spiritual herbs in the Vitality Pearl.

After setting up the concealed defensive array, Ye Zhenzhen began to organize the spiritual herbs that had been planted in the Vitality Bead.

Some of the first-tier spiritual herbs had matured, and Ye Zhenzhen collected them, freeing up two acres of land.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at it and said, "Okay, if we find other spiritual herbs, we'll have a place to plant them."

After processing the spiritual herbs in the Life-Giving Pearl, Ye Zhenzhen meditated and cultivated for a while before continuing her journey.

Heading south, Ye Zhenzhen covered nearly 10 miles in a single day.

Still in the forest, Ye Zhenzhen stopped under a large white poplar tree.

Ye Zhenzhen saw a white flower following her not far behind. This flower had been with her all day, going wherever she went.

When Ye Zhenzhen saw it, she felt a surge of excitement. It was her natal spiritual plant from her previous life, the Moon-Illuminating Vine.

The Moon-Reflecting Vine is a vine with a well-developed root and vine system, which can be used to trap enemies.

It can bloom, and each flower has its own effect. New flowers will bloom with each upgrade, and it can grow into a fairy vine in the future.

However, its greatest use is that it can absorb moonlight. When the moon is out at night, it absorbs spiritual energy several times faster than during the day, and it can also nourish its contractor.

Ye Zhenzhen was able to form her Golden Core so quickly despite being so busy in her previous life, thanks in no small part to its help.

In her previous life, Ye Zhenzhen encountered it in the Spirit Rhinoceros Secret Realm of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. At that time, it was almost eaten by a demon beast. Ye Zhenzhen discovered that it had intelligence, and out of compassion, she saved it, infused it with her own wood spirit power, and then left.

Unexpectedly, after it recovered, it found Ye Zhenzhen on its own.

After the two made their pact, they stayed by each other's side and went through countless trials and tribulations together.

Finally, when Ye Zhenzhen killed Puxian and the other two, it was thanks to its poison that their spiritual power dissipated, allowing her to kill them successfully.

When Ye Zhenzhen devised the plan to kill the three, she broke her life-bound contract. No one knows where it went afterward, or how it's doing.

Ye Zhenzhen thought back to her past life when the Moon-Illuminating Vine followed her and always worked hard, doing missions and killing monsters...

Ye Zhenzhen had thought that she would never have the chance to go to the Spirit Rhinoceros Secret Realm of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in her lifetime, and would never have the chance to encounter it again, but she encountered it here.

Let it go for the rest of my life. Let it grow freely here.

Ye Zhenzhen set up the formation, lit the campfire, and began to meditate and cultivate. Walking was too slow; she could only walk 10 li a day.

Ye Zhenzhen plans to speed up her cultivation so that she can reach the 7th level of Qi Refining soon and then fly on her sword.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced to her right. The Moon-Illuminating Vine, that little guy, was quietly approaching the big white poplar tree. The little white flower on its head was slowly withering, as if its head was too big to support itself.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled, ignored it, and began to cultivate seriously.

The spiritual energy here is abundant, and Ye Zhenzhen has already faintly sensed the barrier of the sixth level of Qi Refining. Once she breaks through the barrier, she can smoothly advance to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Ye Zhenzhen took out the Qi Gathering Pill and looked at it. It was a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill given to her by her brother. She wondered how they were doing. Were they worried about her since she got lost?

Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. I should just focus on my cultivation.

Soon, the night passed, and the first light of dawn appeared.

Ye Zhenzhen opened her eyes and looked at the dappled shadows of the trees on the ground. It was a new day.

I checked my dantian and felt that in a few days, I would be able to break through the barrier and advance smoothly.

After checking the contents of his bracelet and storage bag, he found the Bigu Pill.

Upon opening the bottle, I found six pills inside. One Bigu Pill can guarantee a month's worth of fasting.

Ye Zhenzhen looked around and understood. Although she didn't know how long she would stay here, she had to find something to eat within six months, or she would starve to death.

Ye Zhenzhen deactivated the formation, summoned the Life Bead, and infused it with spiritual power. The Life Bead began to emit pure wood-type spiritual power.

I didn't originally plan to use the Vitality Bead every day, but with the Moon-Illuminating Vine here, the other trees are just benefiting from it.

Seeing the Moon-Reflecting Vine rapidly absorbing wood-type spiritual energy, Ye Zhenzhen felt relieved.

And so, Ye Zhenzhen continued walking through the forest, with the Moon-Reflecting Vine following behind.

Three days later, Ye Zhenzhen encountered a second-tier spirit peach tree, covered with pink and tender second-tier white jade spirit peaches. She ate and dug them up, and planted the spirit peach tree into the vitality bead. Now Ye Zhenzhen was relieved, she had food and didn't have to worry about starving to death.

Five days later, Ye Zhenzhen broke through and successfully reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Seven days later, Ye Zhenzhen found a first-tier spirit jujube tree, which was covered with bright red first-tier red jade jujubes. She ate and dug them up, and then planted the spirit jujube tree into the vitality bead.

For the next few days, Ye Zhenzhen encountered several first-tier spirit fruit trees of various kinds every day. She happily collected them into her Life Beads and continued on her way.

Fifteen days later, Ye Zhenzhen began to encounter various second-tier spirit fruit trees every day. After collecting vitality beads, Ye Zhenzhen was not as happy as before.

This journey, from an ordinary tree to the first level, and then to the second level, shows that Ye Zhenzhen was going in the wrong direction.

She walked deeper into the forest.

What should we do? If we keep going forward, we might encounter a third-tier spiritual plant. Although not every spiritual plant is aggressive, some third-tier spiritual plants will develop sentience. Continuing on will be dangerous.

There might even be fourth-tier spiritual plants inside, which can take human form after undergoing the baptism of lightning tribulation.

If I were to encounter that, wouldn't I become the one delivering the food?

How to do?How to do?

Ye Zhenzhen stretched out her right hand and looked at the Moon-Illuminating Vine wrapped around her wrist.

After half a month of contact, the Moon-Reflecting Vine has gone from following her from afar to now directly wrapping around Ye Zhenzhen's wrist.

Yinyue Lingteng didn't know why she trusted this human, but she just felt a strange sense of closeness to him.

Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Should we go forward or backward?"

"Going forward may bring opportunities or dangers; going backward means leaving the forest, and who knows what's outside, it's all uncertain."

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the Moon-Reflecting Vine and asked, "Which way do you think I should go?"

Upon hearing Ye Zhenzhen's words, the little white flower on the Moon-Reflecting Vine stretched forward.

After reading it, Ye Zhenzhen frowned. "You mean you want me to keep moving forward?"

The little white flowers of the Moon-Reflecting Vine nodded.

Ye Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, then continued walking forward.
