Chapter 365: Chapter 66 Shenglin Revival Wood Technique

At that moment,

Lin Jing looked at Yue Qiniang and directly asked,

“I’m not sure if your family’s Shenglin Revival Wood Technique can be transmitted to others?”

“To be honest, I’m quite interested in this Shenglin Revival Wood Technique.”

Lin Jing didn’t hide his thoughts and stated his interest openly.

Of course, if there truly was a family rule against sharing it with outsiders, Lin Jing wouldn’t insist. He added,

“If it’s not possible, then forget I said anything…”

As Lin Jing’s voice trailed off, Yue Qiniang first looked at Lin Jing, and in his gaze, she saw only sincerity and nothing else.

Afterward, Yue Qiniang lowered her head and pondered.

It was only after a good while that she made up her mind. She suddenly looked up and said to Lin Jing:

“Now, I am the only one left in the Yue family…”

“There’s no significance in holding on to the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique. In the end, it will just disappear from this world, along with me.”

“Since Island Master Lin likes it, I will imprint a copy of the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique later and have it sent over to you.”

Lin Jing nodded and replied, “Then I thank you, Qiniang.”

Having said that, Lin Jing continued to ask Yue Qiniang:

“Qiniang, may I know what kind of Spiritual Root you possess?”

Yue Qiniang was stunned, not sure what Lin Jing meant, but she still answered:

“Replying to Island Master Lin, my Spiritual Root is a Quad-attribute Spirit Root.”

“It is precisely because I possess a Quad-attribute Spirit Root that cultivation has been incredibly difficult for me.”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have reached my age with only the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Late Stage.”

In fact, what Yue Qiniang said was true.

Currently, Yue Qiniang should be over forty years old.

In the Nanming Domain,

to have cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage at that age was not too bad.

But this is the Demonic Monster Sea.

In terms of both the density of Spiritual Energy and the richness of resources, the Demonic Monster Sea is much stronger than the Nanming Domain.

Unfortunately…

Yue Qiniang’s Spiritual Root was only slightly better than a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root.

So, after many years of struggle, she had accessed quite a few cultivation resources.

And yet she only achieved the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Moreover,

due to her constant traveling and hard work, her appearance had matured more than that of other cultivators.

Otherwise, for someone over forty at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it wouldn’t be impossible to maintain a physical appearance of being in her thirties, or even her twenties.

Instead of what it was now, where although she was still beautiful, the marks of time on her face couldn’t be completely concealed.

……

Lin Jing then spoke up again, asking:

“Have you taken many Elixir Medicines before?”

Yue Qiniang nodded and replied:

“Yes.”

“Previously, using the Spirit Stones left behind by my family, I bought quite a few cultivation resources.”

“However, despite the accumulation of so many resources, I still haven’t been able to advance to the Golden Core Stage.”

Lin Jing nodded slightly.

He had now confirmed his thoughts.

The major reason for Yue Qiniang’s difficulty in breaking through was the accumulation of pill toxins.

At this point,

it became even more impossible for her to make a breakthrough.

Think about it, with a Quad-attribute Spirit Root, how could she reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage without consuming Elixir Medicines?

Moreover, she had a decent family background before.

That wasn’t hard to guess.

Next,

Lin Jing reached into his Storage Bag and took out three Pure Jade Boxes, handing them over to Yue Qiniang:

“Qiniang, I won’t take your cultivation technique for nothing.”

“Here is one Pure Accumulation Pill and two Pure Gathering Yuan Pills.”

“With these Elixir Medicines, you should be able to raise your cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishment.”

“Once you’ve elevated your cultivation to the peak, first solidify it completely.”

“After that, come find me…”

“I’ll give you a Cultivation True Elixir to help you advance to the Golden Core Stage.”

Lin Jing’s words were like an unexpected thunderclap, leaving Yue Qiniang stunned in place.

She didn’t even reach out to take the Pure Jade Boxes from Lin Jing’s hand.

It wasn’t until several breaths later that Yue Qiniang came back to her senses.

“Island Master Lin, you…”

“You’re saying you’ll help me break through to the Golden Core?”

At that moment, Yue Qiniang was overwhelmingly shocked.

She even doubted her own ears, wondering if she had heard wrong.

“Yes…” Lin Jing nodded.

Yue Qiniang looked at Lin Jing and found his expression calm; he didn’t appear to be lying.

She felt bewildered because the promise seemed too good to be true.

The heavens don’t just drop pies into one’s lap.

That was a truth Yue Qiniang firmly believed in after many years of struggle.

And Lin Jing’s sudden generosity made her wary.

Keep in mind, a Cultivation True Elixir was incredibly valuable.

It wasn’t something a minor Foundation Establishment Cultivator like herself could afford.

Indeed, she had agreed to give Lin Jing a set of techniques.

But those techniques were neither for combat nor for improving cultivation.

Practicing them was a waste of time for a Golden Core Cultivator.

Yue Qiniang thought Lin Jing, as an Island Master, only considered practicing this technique on a whim, as it required a lot of effort and yielded little return.

After all, it was extremely mentally draining, and most cultivators who succeeded in learning it would soon give it up.

Moreover, Lin Jing was an alchemist.

He wouldn’t have so much time to waste.

In Yue Qiniang’s eyes, even if Lin Jing wanted to thank her, the three Flawless Pills would have been enough.

But she never expected that Lin Jing would actually offer to help her advance to Golden Core…

That offer was something she didn’t even dare to dream of.

The more Yue Qiniang thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss.

She had every reason to suspect that Island Master Lin had ulterior motives.

But what else could she offer now, besides that technique?

Nothing.

Yue Qiniang thought hard for a long time, and besides the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique, she had nothing left.

Suddenly.

Yue Qiniang was shocked.

She, indeed, still had one thing left.

That was, herself…

“Could it be that this Island Master Lin has that kind of preference…?”

……

Thinking this, Yue Qiniang immediately fell into a dilemma.

Afterwards.

She lowered her head, her eyebrows tightly knit, biting her lip.

A moment later, Yue Qiniang asked softly,

“Island Master Lin, what do you want me to do with such treatment?”

Lin Jing was unaware of what Yue Qiniang had just thought, and instead spoke bluntly,

“Actually…”

“I want you… to help me plant spiritual plants…”

After hearing Lin Jing’s words, Yue Qiniang was stunned, unable to respond immediately.

This was because Lin Jing’s words had truly taken her by surprise.

She had never imagined that Lin Jing would give this response.

If it was about planting spiritual plants, wasn’t she always doing that?

By now, Yue Qiniang was truly confused.

She had no idea what Lin Jing really intended to do.

……

Actually.

The planting of spiritual plants mentioned by Lin Jing wasn’t about the ones in front of her.

Ever since advancing to the Golden Core Stage, Lin Jing had profound realizations.

Those high-grade spiritual plants were really scarce.

And each of them was extremely valuable.

Just like Lin Jing and his group, taking over Li Yan Island.

They collected all the resources on the entire Li Yan Island, and it was only enough for him to refine a dozen batches of third-grade elixir medicine.

Most of that was still from the tall alchemist’s collection.

Besides those, the spirit fields inside Lin Jing’s System Space.

They seemed to be insufficient as well.

With those few tens of acres of spirit fields, even if each acre was fully planted, there wouldn’t be that many spiritual plants.

Even if they were used for refining elixir medicines, how many batches could he refine?

Though there was a Spiritual Plant Acceleration function that allowed spiritual plants to grow quickly, that also required Harvest Points to use.

And where was he supposed to get so many Harvest Points?

Therefore.

After seeing the spirit fields on Li Yan Island, Lin Jing had an idea.

That was to completely transform the northern part of Li Yan Island.

Plant it all with high-grade spiritual plants.

If successful,

Lin Jing would then be able to continuously obtain high-grade spiritual plants for alchemy.

Actually.

With the spiritual energy density of Li Yan Island, it was more than sufficient for cultivating third-grade spiritual plants.

The only problem was the soil beneath the ground and the environment on the island.

If he wanted to cultivate spiritual plants on a large scale, he would definitely need to solve these issues.

Once these problems were resolved and the spiritual plants were planted,

a new issue would arise, as to who would manage these plants?

At that point, Lin Jing would need a person who was proficient in cultivating spiritual plants.

And for this position, Lin Jing felt Yue Qiniang was very suitable.

However, when he saw that Yue Qiniang was so exhausted just from repairing a single spirit plant,

what would happen when there were more spiritual plants in the future? Wouldn’t it be impossible to take care of them?

With this thought, the idea to help her improve her cultivation emerged in Lin Jing’s mind.

Of course.

Talking about these things now was actually premature.

But this didn’t hinder Lin Jing from helping Yue Qiniang improve her cultivation.

As well as the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique, Lin Jing truly needed it too.

In contrast, the elixir medicines he gave away, relative to Lin Jing himself, were nothing at all.

Moreover, those low-grade Pure Elixirs could be purchased at Changyun Pill Pavilion.

It’s just that the prices were a bit higher.

Somebody like Yue Qiniang, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, simply couldn’t afford them.

……

“Is it really just… planting spiritual plants?”

Yue Qiniang still found it hard to believe and hurriedly asked again.

Lin Jing felt quite helpless and directly placed the three Pure Jade Boxes in Yue Qiniang’s hands.

He then said, “Yes, it’s just planting spiritual plants!”

“Now, keep these elixir medicines safe.”

“Also, get a copy of the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique printed for me, don’t forget.”

Having said that, Lin Jing left the mountaintop and descended the mountain.

And Yue Qiniang, watching the retreating figure of Lin Jing, was dazed for a long time, before finally blurting out,

“Yes, Island Master Lin…”

But Lin Jing had already disappeared from sight.

……

After leaving the mountaintop, Lin Jing went straight to Li Yan City.

In Li Yan City, Lin Jing finally enjoyed the kind of treatment Yan Wanfei once had.

Every few steps, someone would come up to greet Lin Jing.

“Island Master Lin…”

“Island Master Lin…”

…

…

For a moment, Lin Jing’s mood became much lighter.

However.

This lightness was only temporary.

Because there were simply too many people on Li Yan Island.

Soon, Lin Jing couldn’t take it anymore and fled Li Yan City in a dejected manner.

Only after leaving Li Yan City did he breathe a sigh of relief.
