The Local True Spirit Art introduced many natal magic treasures suitable for him, such as the Dazzling Glazed Pagoda, Gengchen Seal, and Flying Locust Stones, which Zhang Ling yearned for.
The main material of the Dazzling Glazed Pagoda is a very precious spiritual ore called Colorful Crystal Sand, which emits colorful spiritual light after refinement. Its power is somewhat similar to the Heavy Yuan Profound Light he cultivates, but its power is several levels higher.
When illuminated by this spiritual light, one not only feels as if trapped in a swamp, but also experiences special illusionary powers. However, this material is now very rare. Refining this treasure requires at least ten thousand catties of Xuanjing Sand, which may be impossible to find even if one searches the entire cultivation world.
The Gengchen Seal requires a significant amount of Geng metal as its main material. Once refined, it is incredibly hard and difficult to damage with any magic treasure. It can also transform into a mountain to attack enemies, possessing immense power. However, Geng metal is also a top-grade material and even more difficult to find.
Naturally, the other types of infinitely powerful magic treasures all require these special spiritual ores to be refined.
Zhang Ling was troubled for a while. He could collect many ordinary materials, but he looked down on the power of the magic treasures refined from them. Powerful magic treasures, on the other hand, lacked the necessary materials.
Feeling somewhat depressed, Zhang Ling walked towards the several spirit medicine fields he had cultivated on the island.
Five years of closed-door cultivation is not a long time. During this time, he naturally did not forget to manage the spirit medicine fields, but he did not manage them personally. Instead, he used his divine sense to direct a white ape puppet to manage the spirit medicine.
This puppet was obtained from Dragon Old's storage bag. A second-order puppet like this, comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is worth a lot of spirit stones on the market.
The medicine field was divided into several colorful plots, filled with different spirit medicines. These were all second and third-grade spirit medicines, with an age of about two to three hundred years.
They were all used to refine the elixirs he currently needed. Zhang Ling scanned them with his divine sense, roughly checking all the spirit medicines. The herbs were growing very well.
With a thought, Zhang Ling heard a series of footsteps from a small house next to him. A white ape puppet walked out, holding a cyan storage bag in its palm.
With a wave of his hand, the storage bag flew into his hand. Inside were boxes of well-organized herbs, each with a spirit talisman attached to prevent the loss of spiritual power.
These were the large number of spirit medicines that had been nurtured over the past five years. Among them were some rare third-grade spirit medicines. Selling so many spirit herbs in the market would fetch at least six to seventy thousand spirit stones.
Of course, Zhang Ling would not do that. If so many spirit herbs appeared on the market, they would surely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
These were all for him to refine elixirs with, only for his own needs.
Zhang Ling walked in the spirit field, looking at the various spirit herbs, but still thinking about how to refine his natal magic treasure.
Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves interrupted his thoughts. Zhang Ling couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound. There, he had planted several thousand-year-old spirit trees, intending to exchange them for some rare materials.
Suddenly, he noticed a emerald green vine wrapped around those spirit trees. Zhang Ling couldn't help but frown, he didn't remember planting any vine-like spirit plants here.
Could it be a wild vine? Impossible. He denied this idea. The emerald green vine emitted a strong spiritual light. It was not weaker than those thousand-year-old spirit trees, but even stronger. This was definitely not an ordinary plant.
Unconsciously, Zhang Ling released his divine sense to explore in that direction, and then discovered that the vine was actually more than ten feet long and as thick as an arm. It also had some large leaves. Under his observation, strands of golden light flowed on the vine branches.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling's eyes lit up, and his body flashed with spiritual light as he arrived below the vine. He saw a palm-sized emerald green gourd growing under a leaf of the vine.
This was actually a gourd vine, but Zhang Ling was very sure that he had not planted any vines in this place, let alone a gourd vine.
Looking along the branches of the gourd vine, its roots were actually rooted in another spirit field more than ten feet away. Seeing this, Zhang Ling shook his head and smiled.
This gourd vine was really planted by him, but the location was not between these thousand-year-old spirit trees, but in an independent half-acre spirit field.
This was planted five years ago when he had just returned to the cave, but at that time he did not know it was a gourd vine. In that half-acre spirit field, several black seeds were originally planted.
These seeds were in a jade bottle that Dragon Old had given him, which he had obtained from the hidden cultivator's cave when he and Ding Ruozhao and others were exploring treasures. It only contained these spirit seeds.
He had studied these seeds for several years before, but he had not been able to tell what kind of spirit seeds they were.
Zhang Ling didn't expect it to grow into a gourd vine. Judging from the spiritual light on it, this was obviously also a kind of spirit plant.
Zhang Ling carefully examined the gourd vine again. More than a dozen emerald green gourds had already formed on it, gathering spiritual light and looking very unusual.
Zhang Ling studied it for a while, constantly flipping through the books he had read in his mind, looking for spirit plants corresponding to this gourd vine. However, there were no similar spirit plants in the books he had read.
Could it be some rare variety?
Zhang Ling guessed that this possibility was very high. There are also many gourd-style magic treasures and magic weapons in the cultivation world. Several gourd spirit treasures with considerable power also appeared in ancient times.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but look forward to it. Then he left the spirit medicine field. He did not return to the cave but left Fire Cloud Island directly and headed towards Myriad Manifestation City.
He was going to check the books to see if he could find any information about this gourd. Of course, leaving the cave was not just for this matter. He was originally going to Myriad Manifestation City to find materials for refining treasures, in order to refine his natal magic treasure.
Before long, he arrived at Myriad Manifestation City, which was as prosperous as before. Zhang Ling went directly to a large bookstore and began to consult relevant books.
Several days passed like this.
Originally, Zhang Ling planned to stay in Myriad Manifestation City for a while, but it only took a few days to see some relevant books introducing various spiritual energy gourds in a book introducing heaven and earth spiritual roots.
The so-called heaven and earth spiritual roots refer not to the aptitude spiritual roots defined by cultivators, but to the spiritual plants nurtured by heaven and earth.
In simple terms, it refers to special spirit trees or rare spirit medicines and other plant spirit seeds. Generally speaking, the spirit herbs and spirit trees that appear in the current cultivation world are all spirit plants below the fifth grade.
Spirit medicines and spirit trees above the fifth grade have basically become extinct in this world. Spirit plants above the sixth grade can be called heaven and earth spiritual roots. Even in the higher spirit world, it is difficult to have nine-grade spiritual roots.
Heaven and earth spiritual roots above the ninth grade only exist in the True Immortal World. Those are the real immortal products. Immortal peaches that can enable one to ascend to immortality in broad daylight, immortal sacred trees, bodhi trees, etc. are all immortal spiritual roots that only appear in ancient books.
