The dark green jade box, engraved with exquisitely beautiful spirit patterns, was carefully opened by Lin Shijie.
Each ice-blue spirit grass was placed within, the leaves of which were still shimmering with some sparkling spirit light, dazzlingly beautiful.
The spirit grass exuded a spiritual energy far exceeding that of the second rank, breathing deeply one could smell a refreshing, piercing grass scent.
Instantly invigorating and clearing the mind in an unprecedented way.
"What is this?" Lin Shiming and the other two couldn't help but rub their eyes, faces full of disbelief.
"This is Illusionary Heart Grass, one of the three main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Illusionary Heart Grass!" Lin Shijie exclaimed, losing his composure first.
Lin Shijie's grandfather is Lin Yuqi, the only second-rank superior grade alchemist in the Lin Family. Lin Shijie, although not fond of alchemy, had grown up familiar with most spirit plants.
Let alone the legendary Illusionary Heart Grass, one of the three main medicinal ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Hearing this, Lin Shiming and Lin Shimo no longer had any doubts and began to uncontrollably reveal the excitement in their hearts as they opened the other jade boxes one by one.
In the end, ten jade boxes, exactly ten Illusionary Heart Grasses.
The stronger scent of the grass invigorated the trio's minds even more.
Three of them were immature grasses less than ten years old, but the remaining seven were hundred-year Illusionary Heart Grasses suitable for real medicinal use.
"Let's hand these over to Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Shiming said first, breaking the silence.
Lin Shijie and Lin Shimo both nodded in agreement.
The matter of the Illusionary Heart Grass being a key ingredient for Foundation Establishment was of huge import.
If auctioned at the market, it would already be worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, and its value couldn't be solely measured in spirit stones. Anyone with Illusionary Heart Grass wouldn't be foolish enough to sell it.
The three of them carefully closed the jade boxes, and to maintain the vitality of the three immature grasses, Lin Shiming even took out half a catty of spirit soil and placed it inside the box.
Returning once again to the deep part of the bear cave, they called for Seventh Great-Uncle.
Upon hearing of the Illusionary Heart Grass, Lin Xianzhi took the matter very seriously and, after receiving the jade box from Lin Shiming, handled it with even more care than usual.
The gentle Spiritual Power of the Qing Mu Art, along with the medicinal effects of the Green Lotus and Superior Grade Monkey Wine, slightly restored Lin Shiming's meridians. He believed that with just half a month of rest, he could return to his peak condition.
Furthermore, Lin Shiming had a feeling that the bottleneck at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation had loosened and, once his injuries were healed, all he needed to do was find a place rich in Spiritual Energy to breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation and become a true late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivator.
He would also be a late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivator at the age of twenty-one.
At that time, Lin Shiming would be able to cultivate the Heavenly Wood Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique. With the Secret Technique, his Spiritual Energy would far exceed that of his peers by three or four times, giving him a natural advantage in spell battles.
Then, with his numerous Magic Artifacts, even Cultivators at the eighth or ninth levels of Qi Cultivation would be worth a fight.
While Lin Shiming was eagerly looking forward to this, the three Spirit Beasts in his Spirit Beast Bag began to make noise on time, sending out emotions calling for Lin Shiming from inside the Storage Bag.
Lin Shiming approached and released the three Spirit Beasts.
Due to the consumption of Beast Nurturing Pills, these Spirit Beasts ate frequently and punctually.
The Spirit Water combined with the Spirit Food had also been a bit of a headache for Lin Shiming. Fortunately, this trip to the Qingyun Mountain range had been very fruitful; otherwise, he really would have had to find ways to acquire more Spirit Stones.
After feeding the Spirit Beasts, Lin Shiming took out the two Storage Bags he had obtained previously, to check and summarize the loot.
The late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivator's Storage Bag was obviously a bit poor, containing only a few hundred Spirit Stones, several second-rank superior grade Spiritual Artifacts, and a few Spirit Talismans, but no Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Next was the turn of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level Cultivator's Storage Bag.
As soon as he opened it, he saw a five-colored small flag with exquisite Spirit Patterns emitting strong fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.
"Five Elements Flag!" Lin Shiming had not expected that this Storage Bag actually belonged to the Cultivator who had bombarded Lin Shijie and Lin Shiming. Nor did he expect that the Five Elements Flag he had longed for was now in his own hands.
As for Talismans, having the Supreme Grade Magic Artifact, Five Elements Flag, was an incredible boon.
Lin Shiming's heart overflowed with gratitude towards Uncle Seven Ancestor, understanding that the allocation of Storage Bags must have taken his interests into account.
This Five Elements Flag, even among Supreme Grade Magic Artifacts, was a fine piece, worth at least six or seven thousand Spirit Stones. With the ability to unleash five different spells in rapid succession, its power was truly fierce.
Needless to say, the Rejuvenation Herb and Lin Shijie's Fire-returning Fire Sword had suffered greatly under this Five Elements Flag.
After securing the Five Elements Flag, it took Lin Shiming quite some time to calm his emotions. As for the rest of the Magic Artifacts, none were particularly stunning. He planned to sell the superior grade artifacts later and convert them into Spirit Stones.
He found an additional eight hundred or so Spirit Stones.
