Yellow Court Daoist

Lu Qingfeng, of course, couldn't cultivate Spiritual Medicines in the mines.

However, Peak Rain Mountain was entirely possible.

The Spiritual Energy of this mountain was not as abundant as that of Silver Horn Mountain, but with meticulous conditioning and the deployment of a few Gathering Spirit and Purification Arrays, it could become one of the few distinguished Spiritual Mountains in the Juyun Mountain Range in a matter of years.

While Lu Qingfeng was leading Qingyu in establishing a cave dwelling on the mountain, he also began to clear land for a Medicine Garden.

Cultivating medicinal herbs was not easy, and cultivating Spiritual Medicines was even more difficult.

Lu Qingfeng segregated ordinary medicinal herbs from Spiritual Medicines, opening up two separate Medicine Gardens in total. Then, he laid down Array restrictions such as Spring Breeze and Rain, Gathering Spiritual Energy, and Regulating Earth Energy in the Medicine Gardens.

Instantly, they became two excellent Medicine Gardens.

As soon as the seeds arrived, he began to cultivate.

Cultivating medicinal herbs and Spiritual Medicines on his own was not a whim. Back in the Red Smoke Realm, Lu Qingfeng had gradually come into contact with this craft. After arriving in the Changqing Realm, where Spiritual Medicines were scarce, he paid even more attention.

Over the years, he wasn't considered an expert.

But at the very least, he could make the seeds sprout, and the Spiritual Medicines would not die.

With solid basic skills, that was enough.

As for the rest—

"Come forth!"

Lu Qingfeng planted the seeds and transplanted the medicinal herbs and Spiritual Medicines. With a thought, a Demon God burst forth from within him.

Green as bamboo, with a bird's body and a human face, standing upon two dragons!

It was none other than the Ju Mang Demon God.

After overturning Chi Yun Peak, Lu Qingfeng returned to rest and recuperate in the Nameless Small Mountain. He obtained Iron Fire Ant Eggs and later came to Peak Rain Mountain to clear the land.

Carefully counting the time,

Two months had already passed.

During this time, although Lu Qingfeng hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, he gradually visualized and condensed the dispersed Ju Mang Demon God once again.

The Ju Mang Demon God stepped out, landing in the Medicine Garden.

Its feet stood upon roaring dragons, exhaling green glints. The Demon God pressed down with its claws and spewed out a mist of green fog. The mist enveloped the Medicine Garden, radiating joy and pleasure, with a dense vitality pervading the air.

Under the cover of the mist, the seeds of the medicinal herbs that had just been planted rapidly took root and sprouted. In just a few blinks of an eye, they were fast approaching maturity. The transplanted medicinal herbs also swiftly recovered from their wilted state, regaining vigor.

The Ju Mang Demon God alone,

Continuously exhaled a green fog, its form gradually dimming.

When its divine body became both bright and dim, nearly dissipating, Lu Qingfeng finally flicked out Half Coin of Heavenly Silver. The Ju Mang Demon God swallowed it in one bite, collided into Lu Qingfeng's body, merged into the divine body and focused on Refining the Heavenly Silver, repairing the loss.

Lu Qingfeng walked forward and saw the verdant and vibrant medicinal herbs in this Medicine Garden, feeling joyful for a moment.

"The Ju Mang Demon God."

"Mastering the Dao of Wood, there is no better use for it than for cultivating medicinal herbs."

Of course.

This was also because Lu Qingfeng had enhanced the Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill to the Mysterious level, allowing such marvelous utility.

The Ju Mang Demon God, cultivated by Fiery Fire Wanderer through practicing side door Cultivation Technique, could only assist in battle and could certainly not achieve such a marvelous use of ripening medicinal herbs.

"The Ju Mang Demon God."

Lu Qingfeng sensed that the Ju Mang Demon God was resting within him, contemplating in silence.

With the Ju Mang Demon God, cultivating medicinal herbs was simply too easy. With one breath of green mist, the whole garden of medicinal herbs flourished with fragrance.

The effect was significant.

However, the consumption of the Ju Mang Demon God itself was also substantial.

After all, such rapid maturation of medicinal herbs drained the Ju Mang Demon God of its original essence. Aside from Lu Qingfeng's slow cultivation and absorption of the thoughts of All Heavens Demon Gods to facilitate its recovery, the only thing that could quickly restore the Ju Mang Demon God at this stage was Heavenly Silver.

The former took an extremely long time.

With the just expenditure of the Ju Mang Demon God, it would take Lu Qingfeng at least a month to fully recover it.

The latter excels in Divine Speed.

As long as there's Heavenly Silver, a night's time is enough for recovery.

But the consumption of Heavenly Silver is rather huge, every three times would consume one tael of Heavenly Silver, a rough estimate would equate to approximately thirty-three Spirit Stones per use!

Lu Qingfeng's earnings in Upper Sun Country for a year amounted to only twelve taels of Heavenly Silver, not even enough for thirty-six uses by the Ju Mang Demon God.

"One use per month, that's not bad."

"No need to waste Heavenly Silver."

Lu Qingfeng is just accustomed to being extravagant in Changqing Realm. In reality, where would he get so much Heavenly Silver to squander?

Lu Qingfeng gazed towards the Medicine Garden.

He saw the medicinal materials that had just been planted in the Medicine Garden were already taking root and sprouting, saving roughly a year's time.

Following this trend, in no more than a year, he would be able to procure ten years' worth of medicinal materials from a five-acre Medicine Garden.

"The medicinal materials needed for my Cultivation Elixirs can mostly be obtained from Luoxia Sect. However, there are a few herbs that are difficult to cultivate, which even Luoxia Sect has trouble obtaining. There are also seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials needed for refining the Iron Fire Ant Insect Food that typical gardens and Medicine Gardens are unwilling to cultivate or simply do not have."

"For now, I can only be self-sufficient. But it's still necessary for Luoxia Sect to try their best to collect them, or assign someone to cultivate them, as that is the Righteous Sect way."

"The cultivation of these common medicinal herbs now is merely to address an urgent need."

Lu Qingfeng mused thoughtfully.

Before achieving Foundation Establishment, he never considered the idea of cultivating medicinal herbs. Now having established his foundation and having visualized and summoned the Ju Mang Demon God, he can finally cultivate on his own.

But good steel should be used on the blade's edge.

Common medicinal herbs are not worthy of the Ju Mang Demon God's intervention, only Spiritual Medicine!

"Based on the experience from the game, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, a full-force effort by the Ju Mang Demon God could cause a spirit medicine seed to instantly grow into a hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine."

"Hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine, used in Alchemy, is much better than a few decades' worth of Spiritual Medicine."

It would be a pity not to utilize the divine power of the Ju Mang Demon God.

Thus, Lu Qingfeng sought out nine kinds of the hardest-to-collect and most precious Spiritual Medicine.

Either as seeds, or transplanted, to be cultivated.

In this way, with the remaining spiritual herbs collected by the Luoxia Sect and combined with his own cultivation, Lu Qingfeng can continuously refine Elixir Pills and Iron Fire Ant Insect Food.

After arranging the Medicine Garden, Lu Qingfeng began to set up Array Formation Restrictions and Arrays on Peak Rain Mountain.

He had studied Array Formation Restrictions for more than a hundred years in Changqing Realm. With the help of Heavenly Silver, he had made rapid progress and had long been an expert. He hadn't set them up before because his cultivation was shallow and he was worried about others linking it to the incident with the Hundred Herbs Garden break-in.

Now that his cultivation had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he feared nothing in the Juyun Mountain Range.

Planning to settle here for the long term, he no longer concealed his abilities.

Layer upon layer of Law Prohibitions and one Array after another.

Lu Qingfeng did his utmost to turn Peak Rain Mountain into an impregnable fortress and a den of fierce beasts. A Gathering Spirit Array enveloped it, slowly but steadily accumulating the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

The Gathering Spirit Array obtained from "Heavenly Monarch Array Dao True Interpretation" may not be said to surpass the level of the entire Three Mountains and Nine Waters, but at the very least, in the Juyun Mountain Range, there's nothing that can match it.

Given time, the unremarkable Peak Rain Mountain is bound to become the number one Spiritual Mountain of the Juyun Mountain Range.

Behind Peak Rain Mountain.

There is also the Sky Pit Mine.

Different from Peak Rain Mountain, the Sky Pit Mine is where Lu Qingfeng cultivates the Iron Fire Ants.

Iron Fire Ants have stringent environmental requirements.

Their habitat must have various copper and iron minerals, it must be a scorching place like Magma Earth Fire and the like.

Lu Qingfeng acquired the Sky Pit Mine from Luoxia Sect.

With his status in Luoxia Sect, and considering the value of the newly refined Vibrant Sun Pill, the mere Sky Pit Mine was something Luoxia Sect was more than happy to hand over.

Thus, Lu Qingfeng went to the Sky Pit Mine, connected to the underground Magma Earth Fire with Array formations, and also drew the essence of the sun from the sky above, transforming it into a sparse True Sun Flame.

In such an environment, as long as there is sufficient copper and iron ore, mixed with specially made Insect Food.

After the Iron Fire Ant Eggs hatch, they will surely grow rapidly and reach maturity, and form a scale.
