Chapter 374: Chapter 74 New System Feature: Elixir Medicine Spirit Plant Recycling

After leaving the hall, Lin Jing went straight to the valley mentioned by Qi Yao.

However, after searching several times, he found nothing.

Under the surveillance of Lin Jing’s Divine Sense, it was impossible for Qi Yao to lie.

Therefore, there was only one reason.

There was also a hidden Formation within this valley.

Which had concealed the ‘treasure’ that could enhance Cultivation.

Facing the hidden Formation, Lin Jing was utterly clueless.

He could only wait for Lu Youjiu and the others to return before discussing it further.

As a Fourth Rank Array Master, Holaw Three Rivers should have some methods to uncover this hidden Formation.

At worst, they could find Zhang Jian and borrow his Secret Treasure Formation Plate, which should also be able to reveal the hidden Formation.

Afterward, Lin Jing flew back to his own hill.

……

Several days later, on the hill where Lin Jing was located.

Lin Jing and Yue Qi were having a conversation.

“Qi, do you mean to say that these unnecessary branches and leaves must be pruned from this Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit?”

Yue Qi nodded her head and said,

“Yes, Island Master Lin.”

“While these branches and leaves seem lush, and there are also flowers within, it is actually quite difficult for them to bear fruit anymore.”

“The reason being, the concentration of Spiritual Energy where we are is not very high. If we allow this Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit to continue growing like this, it will only affect the growth of the other fruits.”

“It might even delay the ripening cycle of the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.”

As soon as Yue Qi finished speaking, Lin Jing continued to ask,

“Then why don’t wild Spirit Plants need pruning, yet they can grow well on their own?”

Yue Qi patiently explained further,

“Whether it’s the deep forests or the rare Spiritual Plants in various Secret Realms, in fact, they have already been selected by their environment.”

“Those wild Spirit Plants out there must compete with other Spiritual Plants for the Spiritual Power that isn’t very plentiful, and they evolve themselves to their optimal state.”

“It’s different for Spirit Plants that we cultivate ourselves because they have been removed from their previous environment, and these seedlings and seeds still grow in the same way as before.”

“Naturally, there will be some maladjustment. A Spirit Fruit that originally might mature in ten years might be delayed to twelve or thirteen years.”

“Another point is that the Spirit Fields we cultivate differ from the outside natural environment, and for this reason, our cultivated Spirit Plants need to be pruned and managed.”

Lin Jing nodded his head quickly and then said,

“I see, so that’s how it is.”

Yue Qi immediately followed up and said,

“Yes…”

“Actually, what we need to do is to grow the Spirit Plants we need under limited environmental conditions.”

“And ensure that these Spirit Plants mature better and more quickly.”

“Previously, my family had conducted research.”

“To reduce the harvest by twenty percent in exchange for halving the maturation time of the Spirit Plants.”

“Even though we harvest less in doing so, the shorter maturation period allows us to plant several more times, and overall, it’s still worthwhile.”

Lin Jing pondered and nodded his head.

Then, Yue Qi took out several Jade Slips and books from her Storage Bag and placed them in front of Lin Jing, saying,

“Island Master Lin, I see you’re quite interested in planting Spirit Plants.”

After saying that, she pointed to the Jade Slips and books and said,

“These are the experiences gained by our family over countless years. You can take a look at them when you’re free.”

Lin Jing nodded his head and then reached out to take the Jade Slips and books, storing them away.

Following that.

Lin Jing turned to Yue Qi and asked,

“Qi, how do you feel after taking the Pure Accumulation Pill?”

Yue Qi then respectfully said,

“Thank you for your concern, Island Master Lin.”

“After taking the Pure Accumulation Pill, I feel like the Elixir toxicity buildup in my body has been mostly cleansed.”

Lin Jing nodded and then reached into his Storage Bag again, taking out two Pure Jade Boxes and handing them to Yue Qi.

Yue Qi, seeing the Pure Jade Boxes Lin Jing took out, didn’t reach out to take them but looked at Lin Jing in confusion.

“Island Master Lin, this…”

Lin Jing then said,

“The Pure Accumulation Pill can only clear about eighty percent of the body’s Elixir toxicity, but it can be used repeatedly, up to a maximum of three pills at a time.”

“Three Pure Accumulation Pills can cleanse nearly all the Elixir toxicity in the body.”

“Take these two Pure Accumulation Pills. During this time, do not take any other Elixir Medicines, and try to expel as much of the Elixir toxicity from your body as possible.”

“After expelling the Elixir toxicity, then start taking Gathering Yuan Pills to enhance your Cultivation.”

“Otherwise, once you advance to Golden Core, taking the Pure Accumulation Pill afterward will not be as effective as before.”

“Island Master Lin…”

Yue Qi looked at the Pure Jade Boxes in Lin Jing’s hands but hesitated.

Lin Jing was about to comfort Yue Qi when, at that moment, the System’s prompt sounded in his mind.

“Ding!”

“System Notification: System Space upgrade completed, new features unlocked. Please enter the Space for the host to check by himself…”

The System Space had been upgraded at this time.

Lin Jing was momentarily stunned, and then he placed the Pure Jade Boxes into Yue Qi’s hands.

He said to Yue Qi,

“Alright…”

“Keep it for now, I’m going to practice cultivation for a while and unless it’s something urgent, try not to disturb me.”

Yue Qi’s mother was utterly befuddled by Lin Jing’s action. They had been having a good conversation, and now he was starting his cultivation practice all of a sudden.

However, even though she was puzzled, Lin Jing had spoken.

Yue Qi’s mother put away the Pure Jade Box, bowed to Lin Jing, and then took her leave.

After Yue Qi’s mother left, Lin Jing summoned the System and then said:

“Enter the System Space!”

As Lin Jing’s voice fell, the scenery before his eyes changed in an instant, and the next moment, Lin Jing found himself in the System Space.

The first thing to do upon entering the System Space was, of course, to sense the concentration of Spiritual Energy within.

Now that it was a fifth-level System Space, the concentration of Spiritual Energy had naturally risen another level.

This Spiritual Power was much denser compared to the outside world.

Immediately after, Lin Jing called out for the system panel.

A panel instantly appeared in front of Lin Jing’s eyes.

System Space (Level 5)

Remaining time: 278 hours (Accumulable: up to 500 hours)

Host: Lin Jing

Spirit Field Range: 50 mu

Spiritual Energy Concentration: 5

Time Flow Rate: 5

Daily Entry Time: 10 hours

System Upgrade Requirement: (10/50000 Harvest Points)

Special Functions: Alert, Observe, Time Accumulation, Four Seasons, Environmental Terrain, Spirit Plant Repair, Additional Body Attachment, Spiritual Plant Acceleration Growth.

New Feature: Elixir Medicine and Spirit Plant Recycling.

The host can hand over the Elixir Medicine or Spirit Plants they have refined to the System for recycling.

The recycled Elixir Medicine and Spirit Plants will yield different amounts of Harvest Points as a reward, depending on the level and quantity provided by the host.

(Note: The host must refine the Elixir Medicine and grow the Spirit Plants within the System Space to recycle them. Elixir Medicine and Spirit Plants obtained from the outside world are not eligible for recycling.)

“Elixir Medicine and Spirit Plant Recycling…” Lin Jing murmured as he looked at the new feature.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing realized the purpose of the Elixir Medicine and Spirit Plant recycling.

In simple terms, it was another way to obtain Harvest Points.

One had to admit, the timing for the appearance of this Elixir Medicine and Spirit Plant recycling feature couldn’t have been better.

He was in need of Harvest Points at the moment.

Whether it was to upgrade the System or the Alchemy Room.

Or to accelerate the growth of Spirit Plants, using the Additional Body Attachment function.

The amount of Harvest Points he needed to spend was increasing, and yet, the ways to earn them remained the same.

He could still only obtain them through Pure Elixir Medicine.

Now with this new recycling feature, any excess Elixir Medicines Lin Jing refined in the future could be directly recycled into Harvest Points.

Thereby, he would no longer need to worry about refining Pure Elixir Medicine.

Previously, in order to refine Pure Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing had hoarded quite a number of Spirit Plants needed to make Second Rank Elixir Medicines.

And he had refined quite a few Second Rank Elixir Medicines.

Apart from those Pure Elixir Medicines, the others seemed superfluous.

Take, for example, those Medium Grade and Superior Elixir Medicines — there were so many that even selling them was extremely troublesome.

But now.

Any Elixir Medicine he refined in the future that was of no use could be directly recycled through this Elixir Medicine and Spirit Plant Recycling System.

However, only Elixir Medicines refined in the System Space could be recycled.

Those refined outside did not count.

This also ruled out a possibility, which was that Lin Jing couldn’t obtain Harvest Points by purchasing Elixir Medicines.

But that was to be expected.

Otherwise, Lin Kai could simply earn Spirit Stones and buy low-grade Elixir Medicines.

As for the Spirit Plants mentioned later, Lin Jing simply ignored them.

The Spirit Plants planted in Lin Jing’s System Space were all needed by him; he would definitely plant all high-grade Spirit Plants later to refine the Elixir Medicines he needed.

It never crossed his mind to exchange Spirit Plants for Harvest Points.

With this new feature, the next step would be to run some tests.

So, Lin Jing directly called out the System.

“System, use the Elixir Medicine and Spirit Plant Recycling function.”

As Lin Jing’s voice finished, a panel with a circular black hole appeared in front of his eyes.

There was even a prompt above the circular black hole:

“Please host, place the Elixir Medicine or Spirit Plants you want to recycle into the recycling hole.”

Lin Jing then took out a small porcelain bottle from his Storage Bag.

Inside was a bottle of Supreme Gathering Yuan Pills.

These were something he had refined a while ago in order to scrape together Harvest Points.

Since he had an abundance of them and hadn’t had the chance to deal with them, they had been kept until now.

Now was the perfect time to test the new function.

Next, Lin Jing opened the porcelain bottle, picked up a Supreme Gathering Yuan Pill, and placed it into the recycling hole in the middle.

As Lin Jing reached in with the Elixir Medicine in hand, the Elixir Medicine instantly vanished.

Then came a series of system notifications.

“Ding!”

“System Notification: Congratulations to the host for successfully recycling a Second Rank Supreme Elixir Medicine, reward earned: 2 Harvest Points.”
