Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

After receiving a message, Qin Henian quickly brought Li Ji’an to a stall.

The stall owner was not only wrapped in a black robe, wearing a bamboo hat, but also had a veil over the face, appearing very cautious.

Most of the items on the stall were spirit medicines and spirit plants.

However, at this moment, the crowd gathered in front of the stall were all attracted by the three Celestial Heart Grass plants radiating a shimmering starlight.

Celestial Heart Grass, aside from the Core Formation Spirit Treasure, is one of the few spirit plants beneficial for Core Formation. Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators consume and refine it when impacting Core Formation, which aids in solidification and liquidation into refined pills.

Although the effect is weak, it is a spiritual object desired by both the Holy Palace and sects in the Celestial Cyan Domain.

Moreover, during normal times, Celestial Heart Grass is usually controlled by sects, so when it appears, ordinary cultivators generally don’t have the chance to trade for it.

At this moment, three Celestial Heart Grass plants were placed in front, causing the eyes of those at the stall to gleam with anticipation.

However, there was still some hesitation.

Because the age of Celestial Heart Grass is hard to judge, other than cutting its roots and stems, you can only use divine sense to carefully sense the balance of Five Elements Spiritual Mechanism it contains. This place weakens divine sense, making accurate judgment even more difficult.

If the age is misjudged, not only would it be useless, but potentially harmful.

”Fellow Daoist, could we negotiate? If the age is five hundred years, I will offer ten thousand spirit stones, how about it?” One person examined carefully for a long time, but still unsure, and probed.

Although Celestial Heart Grass is likewise a Tier Three spirit medicine, if used as a common pill’s material, its value is general, but because it aids Core Formation, it is highly sought after, making its price double that of usual Tier Three spirit medicine, with a market price of about eight thousand spirit stones.

”Fellow Daoist, it’s better to spare your breath!” The stall owner’s voice was cold.

Once the roots and stems of Celestial Heart Grass are cut, the Five Elements Spiritual Mechanism would dissipate, making it useless within a month.

And the three plants on the stall are complete with roots and are planted in soil; if their age is less than five hundred years, they can be nurtured further.

”Alas, if I had known there would be Celestial Heart Grass this time, I would have invited Alchemist Wu to take a look.”

”Although Alchemist Wu has outstanding alchemy skills, he is only a senior Second Tier Pill Master; he may not be confident about Celestial Heart Grass.”

”Unfortunately, we cannot afford to invite Tier Three Pill Masters.”

A group of people watched for a while and still had no idea, feeling somewhat disheartened.

Normally, Tier Three Pill Masters definitely deal with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, and based on their control over Tier Three spirit medicine and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, they can relatively accurately judge the age of Celestial Heart Grass.

Or perhaps Pill Masters capable of refining superior and even superb Second Tier pills might be able to judge with some degree of certainty.

However, such individuals are typically elder-level figures in the Holy Palace Sect, who no longer care for Core Formation Spiritual Objects that are not of Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure level.

”Xiaoli, how about it? Can you determine it?” Qin Henian looked at Li Ji’an.

Li Ji’an had already refined supreme pills using the spiritual mechanism of the Little Fire Spirit during the Qi Cultivation Stage. He later delved into talismans and arrays, both of which require a high level of sensing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism. Now, having crafted Tier Three talismans, it clearly demonstrates that his understanding of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism surpasses ordinary people.

”I’ll give it a try.” Li Ji’an replied.

Qin Henian smiled encouragingly, without putting pressure on Li Ji’an, saying, ”Observe boldly, it’s fine if you’re mistaken. It’s not necessary to be precise, as long as you ensure it’s not over five hundred years.”

The reason for inviting Li Ji’an was not expecting him to accurately judge the precise age.

He only required it to be less than five hundred years; afterwards, he planned to bring it back to Cangyun State and have Master Jade Pill of Biyun Sect personally assess it.

Then Qin Henian displayed the might of the Fake Pill True Man, clearing a path for Li Ji’an to reach the front of the stall.

The gaze of everyone around was focused on Li Ji’an.

However, sensing the magical power aura of his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, most were not hopeful.

Nonetheless, after carefully sensing the three Celestial Heart Grass plants, Li Ji’an felt delighted.

One of the plants was nearly a thousand years old. As a Core Formation spirit medicine, its strong affinity with the Five Elements might present a risk of Burst Pill, but as one of the main ingredients for the Crystal Condensing Pill, it is a superior choice.

Because the higher the age of Celestial Heart Grass needed in Crystal Condensing Pill, the better its efficacy.

Another plant has just over five hundred years and can be used within a hundred years.

The last plant is only a little over two hundred years old.

”This plant’s spiritual mechanism is too strong, it must exceed its age limit.

This one’s age is too short.

Only this one seems quite close to the mark.” Li Ji’an truthfully informed Qin Henian, not using sound transmission.

”Good! I’ll buy this plant.” Qin Henian did not hesitate and immediately paid with spirit stones.

This scene made those watching curious.

”Is this man a superior Pill Master?”

”This Fake Pill True Man trusts him so much, perhaps his alchemy skill is indeed remarkable.”

”It’s similar to my judgment; it seems the remaining two plants really aren’t enough.”

Seeing Qin Henian complete the transaction with the stall owner and put away the Celestial Heart Grass plant, the onlookers felt regretful.

They similarly lost interest in the remaining two Celestial Heart Grass plants.

Qin Henian’s trip was originally for the Celestial Heart Grass; now having obtained it, he had no further interest, and planned to return to Qin Chuan’s stall to keep an eye on things.

Li Ji’an took the opportunity to bid him farewell and continued browsing the stalls.

Once Qin Henian disappeared from view, Li Ji’an turned around and left, simultaneously altering his blood and bone transformation, using Disguise Technique to shift his appearance; after a hundred steps, both his form and appearance changed, as did his clothing.

Most people on the Floating Platform did not reveal their true identities; some even used magic techniques to envelop themselves in a light screen, which was typical. Occasionally, you could see people changing their appearance as they walked.
