Looking at this simple tablet, Li Chuan couldn’t help but burst into tears.
After 49 years of suffering, he had finally waited for the Golden Finger.
It’s all those damned online novels that have ruined people, saying that if there’s no woman in your heart, you can cultivate the Natural God, and that women only affect the speed of cultivation.
He believed the evil of those people, and after going through so many years, he dedicated his heart to cultivation and stayed away from women, and as a result he became that ghostly appearance.
If he knew that this little black book had to be activated in this way, why would he suffer so much?
He is really asking for it.
An obscure feeling came over him, and brief information about the little black book called “Fortune-Blessed Scripture” appeared in Li Chuan’s mind.
The meaning of “Fortune-Blessed” is easy to understand: fortune, the ability to receive blessings.
The term “scripture” indicates that it is related to the cultivation of immortality.
Being blessed with natural treasures and miraculous herbs is Fortune-Blessed, as is being blessed with a paradise and exploring the ruins of an immortal’s abode.
The Fortune-Blessed in the Fortune-Blessed scripture is even simpler. He now gets a Fortune-Blessed every day, which means he doesn’t have to do anything, and it just comes from the sky.
The upper limit of the number of Fortune-Blessings he can receive every day is also one.
As for whether the limit will increase and whether there will be more ways to get Fortune-Blessed in the future, Li Chuan cannot confirm it at this time.
He is happy to have the Golden Finger, so he doesn’t care. As soon as he thinks of it, the Spirit Planting Technique will be activated immediately.
[Spirit Planting Technique]: 1st level, 1st rank, 0/1
1st level Spirit Plant Identification 1st rank, 0/1
1st level Spirit Land Identification 1st rank, 0/1
1st level Spirit Seed Cultivation 1st rank, 0/1
1st level Spirit Planting 1st rank, 0/1
In an instant, countless pieces of information about the Spirit Planting Technique flooded into Li Chuan’s mind.
What Li Chuan did not expect was that there were more than a million kinds of Tier 1 Spiritual Plants, and among them, only tens of thousands had a buffing effect and could be used for food and alchemy.
More than 100,000 kinds of Tier 1 spiritual plants contained poison that was harmful to living beings, while the rest of the Tier 1 spiritual plants either did not benefit living beings or were incompatible with other spiritual plants and were not suitable for food or alchemy.
Identifying spiritual lands, cultivating spiritual seeds, and cultivating spiritual plants were also incredibly complex.
Li Chuan had only just realized that the technique of spiritual plant cultivation was so complicated. No wonder he often hears that cultivators have failed to harvest anything from their spirit fields, and that all the spirit flowers and herbs they planted have withered.
In the past, when he heard such news, he would laugh at those cultivators and mock them for being so useless that they couldn’t even grow flowers and herbs properly, and he would ask them what they were doing cultivating immortality for.
Indeed, an outsider can only watch the fun.
But now he is already an insider.
The only disadvantage of cultivating spiritual plants is that it takes too long, but as long as the spiritual plants survive, it is very profitable.
Compared to growing spiritual plants, Li Chuan prefers to identify them.
As one of the strongest martial arts sects in the world, the Yin-Yang Sect certainly has many small worlds of spiritual plants.
Even though the branch he is currently in is only a branch of the Yin-Yang Sect in Min Mountain, Qingzhou, the sect still controls many such places. As long as he goes in and looks for some first-level spirit plants that are not usually seen, he should be able to get some lucky points.
And if he sells the spirit plants, he can quickly find Chu Mengyou to establish a spiritual bond.
Thinking about it, he did it. Li Chuan’s mind moved again, and the identification of the first-level spirit plants instantly became: 7th level 0/2
A total of 8 Luck Blessing points were spent, leaving 1 point.
The first five levels can be upgraded with only one Fortune-Blessed point, so it doesn’t cost much.
He got 10 points to start with, which is considered a pretty good benefit.
Li Chuan’s spirit has changed a lot. Now there is not the slightest trace of depression on his face, and he is full of fighting spirit.
He stepped on his little black book and quickly flew to the hall of sect missions.
Flying with one’s own magic weapon consumes a lot of spiritual energy, but he doesn’t even have a flying sword, so what can he do?
However, when he arrived at the mission hall, he found the senior brother who was giving out the tasks for picking and planting spiritual herbs, flowers, and plants in the small world, but he was told that only spiritual planters certified by the sect could pick up the relevant tasks and enter the corresponding small world.
After all, there were many unusual spiritual plants in the small world that ordinary disciples didn’t know about, which would be a waste.
Li Chuan also understood this, but it was a little hard to accept. The certification examination had to be applied for a month in advance, and he didn’t want to wait a moment longer.
Fortunately, there are many good people in this world.
“Junior brother, if you want to go to the small world to find spiritual plants to earn spiritual stones and sect contributions, there is no way.”
Li Chuan’s eyes lit up and he looked at the young man who spoke expectantly: “Please teach me, too, Senior Brother.”
The young man’s name was Zhou Hanhe, and he was at the sixth level of qi cultivation. Although his appearance was not as good as Zhao Bingqian’s, he was also from the upper class, and he was much better than Li Chuan.
He looked at Li Chuan with a smile, but did not answer.
Li Chuan knew exactly what that meant. While cursing in his heart, he deftly reached into his pocket, took out a small porcelain bottle, and handed it to him: “Senior Brother, this is a small token of my respect.”
Zhou Hanhe was overjoyed to receive it, thinking that he had ripped off a lollipop. However, when he opened the bottle, he discovered that there was only one pill inside. His smile immediately faded, and he said indifferently, “A low-level first-tier essence cultivation pill? I don’t need it, Senior Brother.”
It’s not that he doesn’t need it, but it’s only worth a Spirit Stone at most.
Normally, a porcelain bottle can hold 10 to 20 pills, and he thought that having seven or eight would be fine. As a result, Li Chuan only gave him one pill, which raised his expectations so high that he could hardly tell Li Chuan.
He returned the porcelain bottle without hesitation, but Li Chuan didn’t take it and handed him another porcelain bottle, which he also pushed back.
After looking at Li Chuan, Zhou Hanhe opened the porcelain bottle.
“First-order low-grade anti-fatigue pill, Senior Brother, I don’t need it either.”
This time he spoke more slowly, his refusal was not as firm.
Although there was also a pill in the bottle, the anti-fatigue pill was much more expensive than the yuan-strengthening pill, and could be sold for two to three Spirit Stones.
“Senior Brother, Junior Brother is also new to the sect, and everything on his person was issued by the sect. Please do me a favor,” Li Chuan said as he handed over another porcelain bottle.
“First-order low-grade nutritional pill! Never mind, Senior Brother will help you just this once.”
Zhou Hanhe collected all three porcelain bottles and turned around to take out a wooden plaque from the compartment behind him and handed it to Li Chuan: “Many fellow disciples are cultivating and planting in Small World No. 1, and they are recruiting general workers. Take this task plaque and enter as a recruited worker.”
Li Chuan’s eyebrows furrowed. How much money could he make as a worker?
Besides, he had clearly asked for a picking and transplanting task.
However, Zhou Hanhe had not finished speaking. He continued, “Small World No. 1 was the first small world discovered by our branch. Even now, most of it is uninhabited. After you enter, you can go to these places to find spirit plants.”
“Whether you can find them or not is up to you.”
Li Chuan suddenly felt enlightened. He had misunderstood the other person.
No wonder he was able to ask for spirit stones. He really knows his stuff.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” He happily took the wooden sign, registered it, and excitedly left.
After he left, a young man not far from Zhou Hanhe walked over. “Geez, Junior Brother Zhou, you took something that Junior Brother has already paid 5 Spirit Stones for, and you actually let him go to Small World No. 1.”
“Small World No. 1 has existed for hundreds of years, and it has been searched countless times by the clan’s elder brothers and aunts. There are no more spirit plants there. You’re too greedy.”
“You should have told him to go to Small World No.43.”
Zhou Hanhe didn’t care: “Senior Brother Zhao, you’re wrong. The thing he gave me is not worth 5 Spirit Stones, at most 4.5.
“As for Small World No.43, it has only been opened for a short time, and there is no telling how many rare spirit plants are inside. How could he be allowed to go in there?”
“Senior Brother Zhao, you can see for yourself that he is just an initiate, dressed in ordinary clothes, not even wearing a treasure robe.
“Even if he really knows how to identify spirit plants, where is the variety he knows compared to that of the Yin-Yang Sect? A spirit plant cultivator without sect certification will only destroy the rare treasures inside.”
Zhou Hanhe spoke with a tone of strict enforcement of the sect’s rules, but Zhao Mingxuan just found it funny when he heard it. He had never seen Zhou Hanhe let anyone into Small World No. 43 before, and the other party had only given him five Spirit Stones more than Li Chuan.
He was the disciple in charge of assigning clearance tasks, and usually had little profit, so he was quite jealous of Zhou Hanhe, who was in charge of picking and transplanting the spirits in the small world.
