“I’ve already started learning. Elder, my parents need a huangjingzhi mushroom and a chiyan pill. Can I buy them from you?”
Saying that, Mo Xuanye took out 15 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Your parents need them? I did refine a batch of chiyan pills a while ago, so since you need them, I’ll give them to you.”
Mo Dizhao took out a red Medicinal Pill with a faint medicinal fragrance from his Storage Pouch and handed it over.
“As for the huangjingzhi mushroom, there’s some right here, just pick one yourself.”
“Any one will do?” Mo Xuanye asked uncertainly.
“That’s right, any of them will do.” Mo Dizhao affirmed.
Mo Xuanye knew that Mo Dizhao was testing him, to see if he had read the introduction to huangjingzhi mushroom in the Tier 1 Spirit Medicine Compendium he had given him.
The huangjingzhi mushroom stops changing in size after one year of growth. To determine its age, one can either sense the Spiritual Qi within it or observe the Texture on its surface, which is similar to tree rings; each additional year adds another Texture.
As long as one has carefully studied the Tier 1 Spirit Medicine Compendium, it is easy to identify.
Under normal circumstances, huangjingzhi mushroom matures after ten years. Mo Xuanye scanned the Spirit Field, and most of the huangjingzhi mushrooms were not yet mature; only a few had ten Texture.
He selected a ten-year-old huangjingzhi mushroom and picked it.
Mo Dizhao saw this and nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad.”
After getting the chiyan pill and huangjingzhi mushroom, Mo Xuanye continued to learn about Spirit Medicine with Mo Dizhao for an entire afternoon before returning home.
However, he did not immediately feed the chiyan pill and huangjingzhi mushroom to the Lava Turtle and Five-Colored Brocade Chicken. He planned to wait until the tenth day so they could advance together with the Rain Butterfly, and then explain everything at once.
“Is this spirit honey? Putting everything else aside, the taste is really good. The Spiritual Qi within it, while not as potent as a Spirit Stone, is easier to absorb, and the effect is actually much better than Cultivating with Spirit Stones.”
Mo Xuanye tasted a mouthful of the spirit honey brewed by the White Jade Spirit Bee and exclaimed in admiration.
The next day, while Mo Wenyan and Mo Wenlian were not paying attention, he poured out a bowl of spirit honey.
The Rain Butterfly on the pear tree sensed the spirit honey and immediately flew down from the tree, landing on the rim of the bowl and beginning to consume the spirit honey within.
The Lava Turtle, not far away, seemed to have smelled the fragrance of the spirit honey. It crawled over, carrying its large shell, and nudged Mo Xuanye with its head. Its small eyes stared unblinkingly at the spirit honey the Rain Butterfly was consuming.
It seemed to be asking, why did the Rain Butterfly have some, but he did not?
Both Spirit Beasts had grown up with Mo Xuanye, and their relationship with him was excellent.
“You greedy fellow.” Mo Xuanye chuckled and poured another bowl of spirit honey for the Lava Turtle.
This continued for ten consecutive days. On the morning of the tenth day, when the Lava Turtle came for spirit honey again, Mo Xuanye did not give him any more. Instead, he took out a chiyan pill from his Storage Pouch and fed it to the Lava Turtle.
As for the Rain Butterfly, it continued to consume spirit honey as usual.
The Lava Turtle excitedly swallowed the chiyan pill, then retracted its head and all four limbs into its shell.
As the chiyan pill’s medicinal power erupted, the Lava Turtle emitted terrifying high temperatures, almost igniting the pear tree where the Rain Butterfly was perched nearby.
Fortunately, Mo Xuanye quickly kicked the Lava Turtle away.
The Lava Turtle’s shell was very sturdy; not to mention Mo Xuanye hadn’t used much force, even if he had, it wouldn’t have harmed the Lava Turtle.
“What’s going on?” Mo Wenyan seemed to sense the changes happening to the Lava Turtle. He rushed out of the house and then saw the Lava Turtle, which had been enveloped in flames and transformed into a fireball.
Not long after he rushed out, Mo Wenlian also rushed out from the kitchen, because her Rain Butterfly had consumed enough spirit honey and also began to advance.
The two of them cast questioning glances at Mo Xuanye, wondering what their son had done, but they knew it could only benefit their Spirit Beasts, not harm them.
However, at this moment, they also had no time to ask. They both sat down cross-legged. Although the advancement of the two Spirit Beasts could only provide a 5% Spiritual Qi feedback, it was still a considerable amount for them, and they had to properly refine the Spiritual Qi.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Aura on the Lava Turtle surged. The flames on its body were retracted internally, its body expanded by a circle, its shell grew from one and a half meters wide to two meters wide, and its cultivation also rose to Qi Refining Fourth Level.
Mo Wenyan was the first to awaken from his Cultivation state. Then, he looked at the Lava Turtle with pleasant surprise and laughed loudly, “Hahaha, you old bastard have finally broken through to Qi Refining Fourth Level! You’ve loosened my Bottleneck significantly. Perhaps in a year, I’ll also be able to advance to Qi Refining Middle Stage.”
“Slap~”
A slap landed on the back of his head, and Mo Wenlian’s voice came.
“What ‘old bastard’ this and ‘old bastard’ that? What nonsense are you spouting in front of our son.”
Mo Wenyan muttered in a low voice, “Am I not his old man?”
Seeing Mo Wenlian’s dangerous gaze directed at him, he immediately shut his mouth, displaying his fear of his wife to the fullest.
“Son, what did you feed them? How did Little Butterfly and Little Turtle suddenly advance?” Mo Wenlian asked curiously.
“Didn’t I tell you I’m learning Alchemy with Elder? When I was looking through the materials myself, I discovered that the spirit honey brewed by my White Winged Spirit Bee helps the Rain Butterfly improve its cultivation. As for the Lava Turtle, it’s because I bought a chiyan pill from Elder.” Mo Xuanye explained.
“spirit honey and chiyan pills can assist the Rain Butterfly and Lava Turtle in advancing? How come we didn’t know? And I used to feed the Rain Butterfly the White Winged Spirit Bee’s spirit honey, but I never saw him break through?” Mo Wenlian asked in confusion.
“That’s right, although I haven’t fed the Lava Turtle chiyan pills, our clan used to try feeding Lava Turtles chiyan pills, but it never had such a big effect.” Mo Wenyan also asked in confusion.
“Oh well, as long as it’s useful, that’s fine. By the way, I also bought a huangjingzhi mushroom from Elder. It’s said that feeding it to the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken can increase the probability of it laying fertilized eggs. I’m going to try it now.”
Saying that, Mo Xuanye quickly ran towards the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken coop.
One huangjingzhi mushroom was enough for two roosters.
Currently, there were exactly two roosters and eighteen hens in the coop.
Mo Xuanye divided the huangjingzhi mushroom into two and fed them to the two roosters respectively.
“Cluck, cluck, cluck~”
After eating the huangjingzhi mushroom, the two roosters immediately let out a clear cry, flapped their colorful wings, and each pounced on a hen.
After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the two roosters successively left the hens and found the next hen.
It wasn’t until they left the fifth hen that the two roosters stopped looking for another hen. Their excitement dissipated, and they collapsed to the ground with weak legs, panting heavily with open beaks.
Mo Wenlian, who had been dumbfounded outside the chicken coop, saw the two roosters exhausted and immediately ran in. She only had two roosters, and nothing could happen to them, otherwise the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken would go extinct.
Fortunately, after a careful inspection, she found that the two roosters were only exhausted and had no problems. On the contrary, they had gained a lot of benefits from eating the huangjingzhi mushroom.
