Chapter 2960: Chapter 60: Various Gains! Shouzhe Plants a Dao Yuan Fruit_4

After setting up the formation, it was time to wait for the spiritual energy from the ninth-rank Spirit Veins to spread throughout the Spirit Field, nurturing it into a ninth-rank Spirit Field.

This would take a process.

It was necessary to wait until every inch of the Spirit Field was permeated by spiritual energy, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the air reached a certain standard before this ninth-rank Spirit Field could be officially put into use.

Wang Shouzhe has been waiting.

Now, finally, he received the good news.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Shouzhe’s figure had already appeared in the Green Xiaoyi Little Heavenly Abode.

Instantly, the rich spiritual energy assaulted his senses, carrying a refreshing fragrance of grass and trees, clearing one’s mind and spirit.

After hundreds of years have passed, this little Heavenly Abode left by Yu Wushuang had long since undergone great changes.

From a distance, a towering and imposing giant tree could be seen standing on the ground at the center of the Heavenly Abode.

It was a tree as strong and straight as a pine or cypress.

Its trunk was straight and mysterious black, with a texture resembling Xuan Iron, and faint mysterious patterns could be vaguely seen on the surface.

The lush leaves were long and expansive, draping like feathers on both sides of the stem, with leaf veins on the surface shimmering with a silver texture. From a distance, the lush leaves swayed in the wind, flashing with silver light, creating a mysterious and unpredictable scene.

Even more shocking than its appearance was its overwhelming and terrifying aura.

Every single leaf on it emanated a pure and immense power of space, which diffused outward from this tree as the center. Even from such a distant location, the dangerous aura in the air caused one’s heart to tremble.

This tree was naturally the body of the [World Tree · Wang Zongshi].

As his strength grew, Wang Zongshi’s size also increased, having moved his body to this Green Xiaoyi Little Heavenly Abode long ago. When he worked at the research institute, he used a clone.

Of course, he didn’t have Wang Lixian’s ability to multitask, so this body was mostly unconscious.

Indeed, Wang Zongshi lived up to the name [World Tree]. Over the years, this Green Xiaoyi Little Heavenly Abode had expanded unnoticed, and at this rate, in a few thousand years, it might be renamed [Green Emperor Heavenly Abode].

Besides Wang Zongshi, the other changes within the Green Xiaoyi Little Heavenly Abode were also earth-shattering.

The once barren plain had now been cultivated into neat Spirit Fields. Looking out, crisscrossing paths and plots of lush Spirit Valley and Spirit Wheat all around painted a picture of thriving prosperity.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that these Spirit Fields were filled with rich spiritual energy, with the lowest grade being Rank Six.

Nourished by dense spiritual energy, even the miscellaneous Spirit Grass in the fields appeared particularly vibrant and fresh.

At the headlands of the fields, one could also see humanoid puppets moving slowly. These were planting puppets, specifically responsible for tending to the high-grade Spirit Valley and Spirit Wheat within the Spirit Fields.

The closer to the central Green Emperor Abode, the higher the level of the Spirit Fields.

Apart from several thousand acres of Rank Six Spirit Fields on the outermost edges, in the central area, there were several hundred acres of seventh-rank Spirit Fields of different races combined.

These had accumulated over these few hundred years, and each seventh-rank Spirit Veins was hard-earned.

Even closer to the center, there were even more precious eighth-grade Spirit Fields, with over dozens of acres.

Among them, about twenty or thirty acres were [Eighth-Rank Water Fields], in which were planted with Spirit seeds of [Eighth-Grade Sacred Jade Spirit Rice] purchased from Water Moon Heavenly Abode. The Water Fields were abundant with Source Water Aura, nurtured by a small eighth-grade Water Spirit Veins.

This eighth-grade Water Spirit Veins was a gift received by Li Xian from the Canglan Queen. As the Void Sea caravan needed to continue its journey, she entrusted the clan members to bring this eighth-grade Water Spirit Veins back first.

Now, this eighth-grade Water Field had been nurtured for decades, with eighth-grade spiritual rice harvested batch after batch.

The other thirty or so acres comprised [Eighth-Grade Gold Spirit Field].

This Spirit Field had existed for even longer. Nurtured by an eighth-grade Gold Spirit Veins, which was discovered by Wang Anye during his exploration near the Crystal Ancient Tribe’s Void Sea base.

Shortly after its discovery, this Spirit Veins had been placed in the Green Xiaoyi Little Heavenly Abode, where it has remained until now.

This piece of Spirit Field was planted with [Eighth-Grade Jade Pure Spirit Rice] obtained by Baoguang from Taoist Master Taichu.

This Jade Pure Spirit Rice exhibited a harmonious attribute, widely cultivated within the Sacred Domain, and capable of growing in Spirit Fields of any attribute.

However, its compatibility with Gold attribute spiritual energy was ultimately somewhat lower, resulting in relatively slower growth. Yet, with occasional catalyzation by Little Yi, the impact was negligible.

Between these two large eighth-grade Spirit Fields, there was a small patch of land, about one or two acres of eighth-grade five-element Spirit Field.

Here, instead of Spirit Rice, a neatly trimmed fruit tree was planted.

This tree was naturally the Five-Color Nurturing Spirit Fruit Tree.

Initially, it was planted within Wang Shouzhe’s Carry-on Cave Mansion, but after he returned to the Main Residence, it was transferred along with the spirit veins to the Green Xiaoyi Little Heavenly Abode.

Over the years, even though its growth was not rapid, the Five-Color Nurturing Spirit Fruit Tree had grown taller than a person.

Currently, the tree was adorned with vibrant Five-Color Nurturing Spirit Flowers, among which nestled a thumb-sized, still quite green Five-Color Nurturing Spirit Fruit, suggesting it was still some time away from maturity.

All of these were the accumulation of over a thousand years by the Wang family, the foundation of the family.

The scale of these Spirit Fields was among the top in the entire Divine Martial World. Should individuals like Yun Tiange or the Red Hell Demon Emperor see it, they would undoubtedly be envious to death.

Now, next to these dozens of acres of eighth-grade Spirit Fields, beside the Green Emperor Abode, two acres of ninth-grade Spirit Fields had been added.

Wang Shouzhe’s goal was clear. Upon entering the Little Heavenly Abode, he headed straight for the ninth-grade Spirit Field.

These Spirit Fields had been long cultivated, and on the outside appeared as unassuming as ordinary Spirit Fields. But once inside, Wang Shouzhe felt the difference.

No other reason, just that the spiritual energy was too abundant.

Nurtured by the Spirit Veins, the spiritual energy within these Spirit Fields had become so dense it felt almost tangible. Every breath inhaled seemed to slightly enhance one’s power.

Truly worthy of a ninth-rank Spirit Cave, indeed remarkable.

With joy in his heart, Wang Shouzhe then took out the Dao Yuan Fruit Seed carefully sealed in a white Jade Box.

The so-called ”Dao Yuan Fruit Seed” was actually the pit of the Dao Yuan Fruit.

Unlike the Five-Color Nurturing Spirit Tree, the Dao Yuan Fruit is more akin to an herbaceous plant. Once it bears fruit, the original plant gradually withers, necessitating replanting to obtain new Dao Yuan Fruit.

Fortunately, the Dao Yuan Fruit pit is relatively easier to obtain compared to ninth-rank Spirit Veins.

The one in Wang Shouzhe’s hand had been taken from the Dao Yuan Fruit by Taoist Master Taichu before refining, a thumb-sized, hard, and rough object, somewhat resembling a peach kernel.

Placing the pit at the center of the ninth-grade Spirit Field, Wang Shouzhe immediately summoned Green Xiaoyi to assist with accelerating its growth.

Green Life Origin Spiritual Liquid dripped down, the vast Power of Life Origin rapidly surged into the small pit.

Soon, a tender water-green sprout broke through the soil, quickly sprouting leaves and growing into a plant with upright stems and large, flat leaves with slightly fringed edges.

Its leaves displayed faint colorful patterns, with a slight glimmer flowing over them in sunlight, giving it a beautiful appearance.

With Green Xiaoyi’s catalyzation, the Dao Yuan Fruit plant rapidly grew.

But upon reaching a certain size, its growth slowed, taking a long time for any noticeable increase in size, yet it continued to grow, with new sprouts occasionally appearing at the top.

This growth rate was considered pretty good~

Silently calculating in his mind, Wang Shouzhe’s face lit up with a hint of joy.

At this rate, in about one hundred sixty years, he could produce a Dao Yuan Fruit!

Within less than five hundred years, he would earn back the investment for renting the ninth-rank Spirit Veins!

All time thereafter would be pure profit.
