Exiting the cave, he stood halfway up the mountain. A cool breeze brushed his cheeks, but Lu Tiandu's excitement remained unquenchable.
At this moment, the world of stone beads was just as dark as the outside world. The sky was dotted with tiny pinpricks of light, like stars, blinking and moving according to some rhythm.
Without a second thought, Lu Tiandu stepped on the Wind-Following Sword and flew rapidly downward. Behind him, the towering mountain gradually became clearer.
It turned out that the cave was located halfway up the mountain.
He quickly landed at the foot of the mountain and, with a wave of his hand, sheathed the Wind-Following Sword.
Although it was night, the surroundings were clearly visible under the starlit sky.
Lu Tiandu quickly passed through a small illusion array and arrived at the foot of the mountain, where he had cultivated a medicinal field for a year.
The field was small, less than two acres. A small spirit-gathering array was arranged in the center, where hundreds of common spiritual herbs in the world of immortal cultivation were planted in a patchwork pattern.
Finding a century-old Polygonatum odoratum, Lu Tiandu flipped his hand, and a small topaz bottle appeared in his hand.
He peeled off the cap, revealing a drop of green liquid. It was the towering Creation Dew he had created in the stone furnace!
Tilt the bottle, and the green liquid slowly dripped onto the century-old Polygonatum odoratum.
"Now is the time to witness a miracle!" Lu Tiandu thought to himself.He stared at the Polygonatum odoratum, his eyes fixed on it, watching it grow at a visible rate, as if it had taken a tonic.
Lu Tiandu was filled with amazement. "As expected of a spiritual object possessing the laws of time, a single drop adds a hundred years to the age of a medicine—truly miraculous!''
"But what kind of treasure is this stone furnace within this Stone Bead World? It can actually produce such a spiritual object?"
Lu Tiandu couldn't believe that such a treasure could be obtained with just fifty low-level spirit stones!
"Time's almost up. I'd better return that drop of green liquid from the Heaven-Holding Bottle. Otherwise, the medicinal properties will fade over time, and that'll be bad if Old Demon Han becomes suspicious."
With this thought, Lu Tiandu flashed out of the Stone Bead World again. In a shadowy corner emitting a white light, Lu Tiandu reappeared out of thin air.
After scanning the area several dozen feet with his spiritual sense and finding nothing unusual, he took out the white jade bottle and placed the small drop of green liquid back into the Heaven-Holding Bottle.
Disguising the bottle as it was before returning it to its original appearance, Lu Tiandu activated his Wind Travel technique and sped off into the distance.
The night was deep, and no one noticed anyone flying in the darkness. Returning to the bluestone where he had meditated, Lu Tiandu used his spiritual sense to scan his surroundings.
Finding nothing unusual, he vanished in a flash. In the Stone Pearl World , beneath Tongtian Peak, in the spiritual medicine field, Lu Tiandu appeared out of thin air beside a two-hundred-year-old Polygonatum.
Seeing the Polygonatum, which had grown to two hundred years old in just a few moments, Lu Tiandu burst into laughter. "Sure enough, my golden finger is no less capable than that Heaven-Holding Bottle!"
Touching the two-hundred-year-old Polygonatum again, Lu Tiandu couldn't hide the smile that spread across his face. This Polygonatum was now the oldest spiritual medicine in his small medicinal field.
"Ah, it's just that my medicine garden is a little lacking. Now, there are only about a hundred kinds of spiritual medicines at most, and only a few thousand plants in total. There are less than ten plants that are a hundred years old.
This is the result of my hard work this year…" "It's just that I have collected most of the common medicinal materials in the Huangfeng Valley Market and the Tianxing Sect Market.
The rest are either very expensive or in the hands of masters in the Foundation Establishment Stage or Golden Core Stage. They are not something I can exchange for at the Qi Refining Stage…"
"It seems that after entering the Huangfeng Valley, I still have to go to Master Ma's private medicine garden to do chores for a while.
This master loves to make pills. I heard that even my great-grandfather who is in the Core Formation Stage does not have as complete a variety of spiritual medicines as him…"
"Master Ma's Hundred Medicine Garden has five or six hundred kinds of spiritual medicines, all of which are commonly used in the current world of immortal cultivation.
They can greatly enrich my medicine garden, but I'm afraid there are not many medicinal materials left from ancient times…"
"The only place near Yue State that can produce certain spiritual herbs from ancient times is probably the Blood Forbidden Land.
These ancient medicinal herbs are extremely scarce in the current world of immortal cultivation and are crucial to my future growth..."
"Furthermore, to ensure a successful foundation building, preparing two foundation building pills is essential, so I have to go there... There are still five or six years until the next forbidden land opens, so I'm not in a hurry..."
As Lu Tian casually strolled through the herb garden, his mind was filled with various spiritual herbs.
Now with an endless supply of the Heavenly Creation Dew, he could produce high-aged spiritual herbs at any time.
Although it cost fifty spirit stones to produce a single drop of the green liquid, significantly accelerating the decline of his already limited wealth, it was well worth it.
After all, there were many ways to earn spirit stones, and a method for quickly increasing the age of spiritual herbs was unheard of, except for Han Li's Heaven-Holding Bottle. In the world of mortal immortal cultivation, with an endless supply of high-aged spiritual herbs, everything was possible!
the only constraints on his growth now were the variety of medicinal herbs and the various pill recipes.
At this moment, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
