Chapter 17: Blood Locust Rice
The incident of Fellow Daoist Long’s fall.
Like a layer of gloom, it enveloped the shanty town, and couldn’t dissipate for a long time.
For several days in a row, almost every household nearby had their main gates tightly shut, and there was no longer the usual popularity in the alleys, making it seem deserted.
No one dared to go out at night either.
Despite the Spirit Feather Sect increasing the number of patrols, the tenants only dared to go out in groups.
Qin Ming was also the same; when going to the Spirit Field to work, he also went with everyone else.
These days, it was much safer inside the Spirit Field than outside.
The reason was that during these few days, Elder Gu personally led the disciples to patrol around the Spirit Field.
Every three days, Elder Gu’s huge Magic Boat would stay in the sky above the Spirit Field for half a day.
This also made Qin Ming feel much more at ease.
It seemed that the Spirit Feather Sect also didn’t want any more incidents within the Spirit Field.
After all, this involved the supplies of the Frontline Battle Camp.
They had to take it seriously.
Inside the three acres of Yinning Flower Spirit Field.
Qin Ming had used the ‘Accelerate Ripening’ attribute.
Two days later.
Emerald green seedlings sprouted.
With a nervous mood, Qin Ming looked towards the Spirit Field.
Three golden attributes were clearly visible!
【Name】: Yinning Flower【Attribute】Bee Controlling Technique（Maturity2%）
【Name】: Yinning Flower【Attribute】Accelerate RipeningX5（Maturity3%）
【Name】: Yinning Flower【Attribute】Bloodline Returning to AncestryX1（Maturity1%）
“What the hell!”
Qin Ming looked at the attributes within the Spirit Field with an expression of disbelief, and only after a long time did he regain his senses.
“What is the meaning of true Fate!”
“Hahaha!”
“I’ve struck gold!”
He happily laughed loudly in the Spirit Field.
【Bee Controlling Technique】: Spirit Plant Technique, casting the magic can guide spirit bees to pollinate the spirit plants.
【Bloodline Returning to Ancestry】: After use, it can make the spirit plants evolve into the form of a previous generation.
Although the ‘Quality Enhancement’ attribute did not refresh.
But a more sharp one refreshed.
Qin Ming immediately took out a Spirit Plant Book and opened it. This book was written by a generation of Legendary Spirit Plant Master, ‘Shi Yenong’, the 《Records of Spirit Plant Oddities》.
It not only recorded the name list of some rare and strange flowers and grasses in the Cultivation World, but also had a lot of introduction about the origin of spirit grass and spirit plants.
Among them, there was information about Beast Fang Rice.
The ancestor of Beast Fang Rice, was a First-Rank Top Grade Spirit Plant—
Blood Locust Rice!
Just a hair’s breadth away from reaching the Second-Rank Spirit Plant level!
It can be imagined, its rare degree.
Blood Locust Rice, its shape is like a leech, the rice is crimson like blood, hence the name.
Its effect, is just a simple single one:
After eating, it can greatly enhance the Cultivator’s Qi and Blood! Be cautious for those whose Qi and Blood have not condensed!
This Spirit Rice, is not only the thing that Body Refining Cultivators dream of, and it is also a Sacred Item for cultivating blood-path Cultivation Technique, hard to come by.
According to the records in the book, as early as several hundred years ago, this Blood Locust Rice had almost become extinct in the Cultivation World.
Only in a few unmanned areas, could a few plants occasionally be found.
The growing conditions of Blood Locust Rice are extremely harsh, even more so than Beast Fang Rice. It requires the long-term use of Demon Beast Essence Blood for irrigation, and it must also ensure sufficient Spiritual Energy.
The Maturity Period often requires ten years.
The longer the age, the more powerful the effect of enhancing Qi and Blood it contains.
Qin Ming stood motionless, staring at the ‘Bloodline Returning to Ancestry’ attribute, and secretly sighed: ‘Master Su is really my benefactor.’
However, he currently didn’t have the ‘Accelerate Ripening’ attribute, he could only wait for the new season of Gold Spirit Rice to refresh.
…
While hoping and waiting.
Three months passed.
Qin Ming might really have Fate on his body.
In the Gold Spirit Rice Spirit Field, he harvested another ‘Accelerate Ripening’ attribute.
Now, only Demon Beast Essence Blood was left.
“Where to get it?”
Qin Ming propped his chin and kept thinking, strolling back and forth in the room.
‘Hunting Demonic Beasts is impossible.’
‘No adventure at all.’
‘Not impulsive at all.’
After thinking it over and over again, he decided to buy it with Spirit Stones.
Although the price was very expensive, as long as he could cultivate Blood Locust Rice, everything would be worth it.
Two days later.
Qin Ming, from the shop that sold Spirit Beast Meat in Qingyang Marketplace, spent a full one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones and bought ten catties of First Rank Demonic Beast Essence Blood.
“I think these should be enough, right?”
Next, he used the ‘Accelerate Ripening’ attribute refreshed from the Gold Spirit Rice Spirit Field, and secretly accelerated the ripening of the three Yinning Flowers with attributes.
In Qin Ming’s Sea of Consciousness, instantly, there were two green and one blue, three attribute leaves.
“Being able to make spirit plants produce the Return to Ancestry phenomenon, is worthy of being a blue attribute.” Qin Ming praised.
In order to ensure everything was foolproof.
Qin Ming went to Gathering Pavilion again, and at Shopkeeper Liao’s, spent more than a hundred Spirit Stones to buy a set of small Concealment Formation.
This time, he would all-in with not only Spirit Stones, but also the attributes.
He planned to use the ‘Advanced Spirit Rain Technique’ as well.
Good steel must be used on the blade.
Everything was ready.
Qin Ming first began to accelerate the ripening of the Fine Beast Tooth Rice.
When this batch of Beast Tooth Rice began to sprout, Qin Ming used the ‘Bloodline Returning to Ancestry’ attribute on it.
In an instant.
The spirit plants in front of Qin Ming began to grow crazily, and several hundred eerie plants appeared in front of him.
And a golden attribute was refreshed:
【Name】: Blood Locust Rice【Attribute】: Abundant Qi and Blood（Maturity30%）
The original spirit rice leaves of the Beast Tooth Rice all withered, and branches like small bamboo joints grew, and the long, blood-red Spirit Rice shaped like a blood leech was produced.
Qin Ming, with one breath, continued to use the ‘Accelerate Ripening’ attribute on it.
Blood Locust Rice was worthy of being a First-Rank Top Grade Spirit Plant.
Qin Ming used three ‘Accelerate Ripening’ attributes in succession before completely accelerating the ripening of this batch of Blood Locust Rice to ten years.
Afterwards.
He also used the ‘Advanced Spirit Rain Technique’ attribute, and used Demon Beast Essence Blood to irrigate these Blood Locust Rice.
As the Advanced Spirit Rain Technique was unleashed, the Magical Power in Qin Ming’s body was directly drained by a large amount.
“As expected, it’s only the Mid-Late Stage of Qi Refining, that can unleash the Spirit Plant Technique.” Qin Ming gritted his teeth, and even used two ‘Weak Magical Power’ attributes.
Boom!
A cloud of black clouds gathered in the mid-air, forming a whirlpool shape, with lightning and thunder.
This was still Qin Ming intentionally shrinking the scope of the magic, if it were outside, the awe would be even greater than this.
Fortunately, Shopkeeper Liao’s Concealment Formation, the Concealment effect was unexpectedly good, concealing all the situation in his courtyard.
If there were no High-Level Cultivators deliberately checking, it would be difficult to discover the secret.
In this way, Qin Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and felt much more at ease.
The Blood Locust Rice spirit plants, once encountering the spirit rain formed by Demon Beast Essence Blood irrigation, all wriggled eerily with the spirit rain.
As if they had come alive, crazily absorbing the essence blood.
The Blood Locust Spirit Rice began to emit a blood-red aura outside, and the knots did not disperse.
Under the effect of the Advanced Spirit Rain Technique, the Spiritual Energy in the nearby air was drawn away, turning into powerful fertility to nourish these several hundred spirit plants.
At the branches of the Blood Locust Rice, a fruitful Spirit Spike was produced again!
Qin Ming also did not forget to experience this rare Advanced Spirit Rain Technique casting insights opportunity.
His Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique was already extremely skilled, next he was touching the threshold of the Advanced Spirit Rain Technique.
After a little more than half a month.
Under Qin Ming’s sleepless and careful irrigation.
The Blood Locust Rice was all mature!
All the attributes in Qin Ming’s Sea of Consciousness were only left with:
Bee Controlling Technique
Weak Qi and Bloodx2
Abundant Qi and Bloodx1
After harvesting the Spirit Rice.
Qin Ming carefully and meticulously cleared and covered up all the traces of planting in the courtyard.
This thing absolutely couldn’t be discovered by others.
After doing all this.
Qin Ming’s Spiritual Sense looked at the Blood Locust Rice in the Storage Bag, his heart was filled with excitement.
He licked his lips and smiled slightly:
“Next, I’ll taste this legendary Blood Locust Rice, exactly what kind of flavor is it?”
