Today’s medicinal field was no longer yesterday’s medicinal field, because every grain of sand and soil seemed to contain rich Heaven and Earth attributes, and even thin mist like gauze had gathered in the sky above.
Eternal Immortal Mountain was already poetic and picturesque. Now with such a scene appearing in the lowland area, it was truly—Spirit mountains have many beautiful colors, empty water shares the misty atmosphere.
Jun Changxiao was stunned.
Of course, it wasn’t because he was moved by the scenery before his eyes, but because in just one night, the entire medicinal field’s soil had been completely transformed, and even extended toward undeveloped areas!
This was too fast!
The system said: “The products in the Upper Realm version Mall can’t be compared to the mortal realm, so the host only needs to prepare sufficient contribution value to experience even more surprises in the future.”
“Sect Master!”
After squatting in the medicinal field and carefully observing the transformed soil, Old Wei said excitedly: “This is simply an immortal field!”
“How long until the seeds mature?”
Jun Changxiao was still more concerned about efficiency, after all, it related to whether the sect could subsequently develop at high speed.
Old Wei shook his head: “I’m temporarily unable to analyze it.”
As a professional medicinal materials master, one must not only understand medicinal materials but also soil. This area that suddenly became strengthened had already exceeded his scope of understanding.
The next day.
The medicinal field had brand new changes again.
The sown seeds collectively sprouted, even enveloped in flowing light—clearly extraordinary at a glance.
“This fast?” Old Wei was a bit dazed.
Over the following days, he continuously kept watch in the medicinal field, personally witnessing the medicinal materials’ growth. Finally, he gave a rough estimate—the first batch of medicinal materials’ maturation period should be between half a month to one month.
After learning this, Jun Changxiao shook his head: “A bit slow.”
“……”
Old Wei was speechless.
The higher quality the seeds, the longer the maturation cycle.
Now improved to the same growth speed as ordinary mortal realm seeds, yet the Sect Master still found it slow.
Time slowly passed, and half a month went by in a flash.
Under the Nourishing Soil’s cultivation, the medicinal materials grew vigorously. Every leaf seemed wrapped in Heaven and Earth attributes. Looking down from a height, the scene presented was quite shocking.
Medical Hall disciples were like diligent gardeners, interspersed in the medicinal field busy with pruning and management.
One day, Black Rakshasa, who rarely wasn’t cultivating, happened to pass by. Seeing the medicinal field that seemed completely enveloped by Heaven and Earth attributes, he exclaimed: “Little brother, where did you get so many Profound-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures?”
“Big brother.”
Jun Changxiao said: “These are ordinary medicinal materials.”
“Ordinary medicinal materials?” Black Rakshasa’s face showed a trace of doubt. After carefully observing, his eyes immediately widened.
He didn’t understand pills or medicinal materials, but having traveled the Upper Realm for many years, he’d naturally seen quite a bit. The ones planted before his eyes could clearly be casually bought in any general store, yet why did they give such an incredibly powerful feeling!
Medicinal materials were similar to Upper Realm sect grading—reaching Profound grade could be called heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The seeds Jun Changxiao purchased from Jingshui Town were ordinary goods. They might be high-end in the Lower Realm, but in the Upper Realm they were a dime a dozen.
However, after cultivation in the transformed soil, they completely underwent mutation. The energy contained within had already reached Profound grade, and could indeed be called heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Profound grade wasn’t too outstanding either, after all, there were still three levels above: True, Dao, and Immortal. But an enormous medicinal field planted entirely with this grade brought extremely great shock!
“Little brother!”
Black Rakshasa said seriously: “Even Profound-grade sects don’t necessarily have this kind of medicinal field!”
Jun Changxiao himself hadn’t expected that the transformed medicinal field could actually cultivate ordinary seeds to Profound-grade level, so he began thinking: “Can we sell them for money?”
In the Upper Realm, the items with greatest demand were always just two types: profound stones and pills.
Profound stones could be obtained through mineral veins. Pills needed to be refined, and this refinement process couldn’t lack medicinal materials. Moreover, high-effect medicinal materials would even allow pills to achieve comprehensive sublimation.
Having just arrived, the Eternal Sect couldn’t realistically get rich through robbery alone, so they needed another path—such as selling medicinal materials that were clearly low-grade but reached Profound grade?
Old Wei said: “According to my understanding, high-grade pills need to use heavenly materials and earthly treasures because ordinary medicinal materials find it difficult to meet refinement standards. The medicinal materials in our field have properties far exceeding standards and can completely replace extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. There’s no fear of lacking a market.”
“I agree with selling medicinal materials!” Yuan Gongzi said.
As Assistant Sect Master, during this period he’d continuously been considering the sect’s subsequent development. Due to excessive toil, one of his hairs had even turned white.
“Old Wei.”
After having an idea, Jun Changxiao said: “The medicinal field’s outer perimeter also needs transformation. Quickly expand the scale and increase medicinal materials output.”
“Yes.”
Old Wei hurried into action.
In this regard, Paige again demonstrated its value. Before orders even came down, it had already started eating outside the medicinal field, because the transformed soil was undoubtedly a great tonic.
……
Jun Changxiao had found a path to wealth for developing the sect—selling the high-level medicinal materials after maturation, then reinvesting the money to accumulate bit by bit.
However.
Having the path, he still needed customers.
Could he really be like rushing to market, pushing a small cart and stopping at the marketplace to loudly hawk his wares?
“Patriarch Ai.”
Jun Changxiao said: “I miss you!”
During the Lower Realm’s early entrepreneurial stage, Ai Shangni’s appearance undoubtedly provided tremendous help. How wonderful would it be if he could encounter a family or organization operating the pill and medicinal materials industry in the Upper Realm too?
The idea was good, reality was cruel.
Back then, Jun Changxiao at least had the identity of Qingyang Village villager. Now? Apart from changing from illegal immigrant to legal status, arriving in the Upper Realm he was friendless. Especially with no cities or towns in the nearby area, getting acquainted with families and such basically had no hope.
“Forget it, forget it.”
“For the sect’s subsequent development, what’s wrong with hawking wares on the street?”
A person who cared about face doing this kind of thing showed he truly was devoted to the Eternal Sect, working himself to the bone until his dying day.
……
Construction of the medicinal field was proceeding in full swing, and the sect disciples had also successively mastered the Radiant Mind Scripture.
This heart method’s greatest advantage was being completely suitable for the Upper Realm’s new environment. Not only could it refine purer Heaven and Earth attributes, but it could also condense Heaven and Earth mysteries.
Simply put.
In the Lower Realm, matters regarding martial dao required self-perception and comprehension. Arriving in the Upper Realm, the mysteries were contained within the attributes—one just needed to find a way to absorb them and be done.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
On the disciples’ residential mountain peak, breakthrough momentum transmitted from Ye Xingchen’s room.
“No way!”
Su Xiaomo exclaimed: “Junior Brother Ye broke through again?”
“I remember before ascending to the Upper Realm, he’d just entered Sixth-Rank Martial Saint!” Li Fei also widened his eyes.
Just as everyone was surprised and envious, that breakthrough momentum reached its peak, then after sustaining for a while began to retract inward.
“Creak!”
Ye Xingchen pushed open the door and walked out, his entire body emanating even stronger momentum than before.
Breaking through from Sixth to Seventh Rank in such a short time, his heart held no joy, because in this new world it really wasn’t anything.
Ah Niu was one of the core disciples who comprehended the Radiant Mind Scripture earliest. Over the following days, Li Qingyang, Xiao Zueji and others gradually mastered it, their realms successively rising one level.
Having already tempered all aspects to the extreme in the Lower Realm, they actually weren’t inferior to Upper Realm martial artists. So when placed in the same environment with higher-level heart methods, strength improvement naturally became faster.
This was most evident among inner and outer sect disciples. After comprehending the Radiant Mind Scripture, they were completely breaking through small levels every few days.
When the first batch of seeds fully matured, according to the Ning brothers’ statistics, the entire sect’s lowest cultivation was Fifth-Rank Martial Emperor!
Of course.
In the recent month, disciples spent most of their time comprehending heart methods. The time spent actually cultivating wasn’t much, so now that they’d all successfully comprehended, they were destined to enter a sect-wide major breakthrough stage.
