Chapter 16 About to Leave the Valley
To avoid running around, the best method was to create a patch of land without the contamination of Spiritual Energy right in this spirit field.
Thinking this, Fang Yun remembered the Magic Resistance soil in his Storage Bag that had not served any significant purpose.
Ever since this type of soil was discovered on the volcanic island, Fang Yun had kept it in his Storage Bag.
He had always felt that this soil would definitely be of great use in the future.
In fact, he had originally planned to utilize this soil for his own defenses.
However, unfortunately, due to being too occupied with other matters, he hadn't found the time to develop this soil.
Of course, the main reason was the lack of inspiration for the moment.
Now that there was a need, using it temporarily for the cultivation of weeds was also feasible.
With this thought, Fang Yun evenly spread this special soil in one corner.
As this soil, which had quite a strong repelling effect on Spiritual Energy, was scattered on the land,
every bit of Spiritual Energy within several dozen centimeters around and underneath this small patch of land was expelled.
Only the nutrients carrying ordinary energy remained.
Seeing this, Fang Yun selected some seeds from the weeds he had just gathered and sowed them on this patch of land.
First, he let them take root and sprout. Later, when he had some free time, he would use Life Essence Qi to accelerate their growth.
Although this special soil had quite a strong resistance to Spiritual Energy, it had no effect on Life Essence Qi.
Therefore, using Life Essence Qi to accelerate the growth of these weeds was not a problem.
It was just a bit more wasteful than usual.
After finishing this task, Fang Yun checked the growth of the Desert Lotus and Silver Light Grass again.
With ample Spiritual Energy and the guarantee of other nutrients, the growth of these two Spirit Plants didn't face many issues.
It was just more time-consuming.
Later, in the intervals of accelerating the growth of Spirit Bamboo, he could use a combination of Growth Skills and Spirit Rain Skills to supplement the spirit field with some Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy.
This would stimulate the growth of the Spirit Plants to a certain extent.
After all, the Life Essence Qi that could be produced from the 20-acre spirit field would be his main source of income.
As for Spirit Bamboo, although it provided more Life Essence Qi per individual plant,
it was rare in numbers and could only act as an additional source. It wasn't advisable to spend all of his time on it.
Otherwise, it would be akin to putting the cart before the horse.
Of course, while that was his thought, in the absence of other tasks, accelerating the growth of Spirit Bamboo was currently the fastest way to replenish Life Essence Qi.
Fang Yun just didn't want to spend all his time on Spirit Bamboo like before.
After inspecting the main part of the spirit field, Fang Yun returned to the crack once again.
Seeing that the Spirit Bamboo was nearing maturity, Fang Yun spent the next several days, after checking on the outside spirit field,
dedicating his remaining time to accelerating the growth of the Spirit Bamboo.
Ten days later, after several rounds of acceleration, the Spirit Bamboo finally matured completely.
Without any hesitation, Fang Yun harvested all of the Spirit Bamboo.
After gaining more than 300 points of Life Essence Qi, Fang Yun looked at the Spirit Bamboo lying on the ground and began to feel a bit of a headache.
As a type of Spirit Plant, the branches of the Spirit Bamboo could be used as material for talisman paper.
Moreover, as a top-grade Spirit Plant, if it could be sold, it should fetch a good price.
But, having arrived at Sea Origin Island just a few months earlier, suddenly selling a batch of Spirit Bamboo would raise questions from anyone.
Normally, during the growth acceleration process, because the location was secretive and not visible to the public eye, there were no apparent issues.
But if he were to sell it outright, it would be like exposing his secret to everyone.
And if he didn't sell it, the branches of the Spirit Bamboo would go to waste.
Fang Yun had no way to utilize these Spirit Bamboo.
Looking at these Spirit Plants full of Spiritual Energy, if there was no other choice, he could only bury them back in the soil as a type of fertilizer.
Thinking back to the special fertilizer he had created on the volcanic island,
perhaps these Spirit Bamboo could also be directly used as a fermentation material.
Although the effects were uncertain, it would probably be better than simply burying the whole Spirit Bamboo in the ground.
Remembering the fertilizer he had created before, Fang Yun couldn't help but think back to his idea of using Spirit Rice to brew alcohol.
Perhaps he could also attempt to brew alcohol with these Spirit Bamboo.
Being a type of Spirit Plant, it should be fine to use it for this purpose.
With that thought, Fang Yun did not hesitate and carved out several large stone jars from the surrounding cliffs.
Then, using the root system of the Five Elements Plants, he crushed all the branches of the Spirit Bamboo.
He filled the stone jars with the crushed material and used the Spirit Rain Skill to collect a certain amount of spirit water, which he also poured into the jars.
Finally, he added the samples of the fertilizer he had left over from the volcanic island and yeast for brewing alcohol.
After completing these steps, Fang Yun firmly sealed the stone jars and let time do the rest.
Having dealt with the branches of the Spirit Bamboo, Fang Yun looked at the roots of the Spirit Bamboo that still remained underground.
If he continued to accelerate their growth, these roots could still sprout new shoots and grow into new Spirit Bamboo.
