At night, all the White Jade Spirit Bees had returned, and Mo Xuanye also entered the Mountain and Sea World.
Although the White Jade Spirit Bees had been collecting spirit honey all day, the quantity of spirit honey collected was not much, barely enough for the White Jade Spirit Bee King to Cultivate, as their numbers were too small.
Mo Xuanye also discovered that although the White Jade Spirit Bee King and the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken were both Qi Refining First Level Spirit Beasts, the amount of Spiritual Qi fed back to him from the White Jade Spirit Bee King's Cultivation was more than that from the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken.
And after the White Jade Spirit Bee King had spirit honey to assist in its Cultivation, the gap between the two became even larger.
The Five-Colored Brocade Chicken's Bloodline was far inferior to the White Jade Spirit Bee King's at this time.
However, once the Five-Colored Flower matures and the Five-Colored Peacock Bloodline within the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken awakens, it should be able to catch up to the White Jade Spirit Bee King, or even surpass it.
Mo Xuanye thought for a moment, then took out the 10 catties of spirit rice that the Family had given him as welfare this month and placed it not far from the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken.
As for himself, he took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone to Cultivate.
He currently lived at home, with his parents providing food and lodging, so he didn't need the spirit rice.
Anyway, his parents would cook spirit rice for him every now and then, and occasionally he would even get Five-Colored Brocade Chicken eggs for nourishment.
As for the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken, apart from the first day when Mo Wenlian intended to kill one to celebrate, there were no more killings afterwards, as the number of Five-Colored Brocade Chickens she was currently raising was not large, only about ten, and she intended to keep them for laying eggs and breeding.
With a First-Tier High-Grade Spiritual Vein, plus Low-Grade Spirit Stones, the Cultivation speed was indeed much faster, but according to Mo Xuanye's estimation, if he could continuously Cultivate with the help of Spirit Stones, it would still take at least two years to Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Second Level.
Unfortunately, there was only one Spirit Stone each month, and one Spirit Stone could last for a maximum of three days; after three days, the Spirit Stone, which was full of Spiritual Qi, would turn into a dull, gray ordinary stone.
"Alas, it's a pity that although both my parents are Cultivators, they don't have much savings. If Father could Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Fourth Level and become a First-Tier Medium Grade Artifact Refiner, or if the number of Five-Colored Brocade Chicken groups raised by Mother could expand, that would be great."
The next day, the red morning sun pierced through the mist on Xuanling Mountain, shining into the room through the window. Mo Xuanye felt something and exited the Mountain and Sea World.
"Oh no, how could I be so stupid."
Mo Xuanye suddenly slapped his head.
"Although my parents cannot Cultivate the Mountain and Sea Beast Control Art, I can still use the Mountain and Sea World to analyze their Spirit Beasts and help their Spirit Beasts Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Fourth Level. Although the Mo Family's Beast Control Art doesn't provide much feedback, a Breakthrough can still provide them with more Spiritual Qi to help them improve.
The Five-Colored Brocade Chicken is difficult to breed, but I can also let the Classic of Mountains and Seas analyze how to induce the hens to ovulate, how to make them lay fertilized eggs, and how to accelerate the growth of the chicks."
Thinking of this, Mo Xuanye rushed out of his room in a hurry.
Mother Mo was busy in the kitchen, like an ordinary mortal woman, while his father was preparing his Artifact Refining Materials for the day.
As for their Spirit Beasts, one was lying outside the courtyard, and the other was perched on the pear tree by the well.
Mo Xuanye silently chanted, "Analyze the methods for the Lava Turtle and Rain Butterfly to advance to Qi Refining Fourth Level."
【Lava Turtle】
Analysis: A fire attribute spiritual energy Spirit Beast living in volcanic areas. Due to constantly activating Beast Fire to help Mo Wenyan with Artifact Refining, the concentration of fire attribute spiritual energy within its body is insufficient for advancement.
It can be given a chiyan pill, refined from a First-Tier Intermediate fire attribute spiritual energy Spirit Medicine, chiyan grass, to assist its Breakthrough.
【Rain Butterfly】
Analysis: A type of Spirit Beast that likes to live in humid places. Its wings contain abundant water attribute spiritual energy and can resonate with the rain and dew of the world.
Feeding it spirit honey produced by White Jade Spirit Bees for ten consecutive days will enable it to Breakthrough.
The Rain Butterfly's Breakthrough was much simpler than the Lava Turtle's. After last night, the White Jade Spirit Bee swarm had already expanded to 1000, and the amount of spirit honey obtained tonight would greatly increase.
Not only would it be enough for the bee colony itself, but Mo Xuanye and the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken would also benefit, and feeding it to the Rain Butterfly was no problem at all.
He just needed to get up every morning and feed the Rain Butterfly a little.
As for the chiyan pill, he would probably have to buy it from the Family or from Elder San.
The chiyan pill is a First-Tier Intermediate Medicinal Pill. Fortunately, only one is needed, and 10 Low-Grade Spirit Stones would be enough. He could find an excuse and ask his parents for it during dinner.
After analyzing the two Spirit Beasts, Mo Xuanye went to the chicken coop where the Five-Colored Brocade Chickens were kept.
Inside the chicken coop, Five-Colored Brocade Chickens with vibrant, colorful feathers were clucking.
Mo Xuanye had previously checked the Five-Colored Brocade Chickens here, and none of them had the Five-Colored Peacock Bloodline. He wondered if he was just lucky that the one Mo Wenlian caught that day happened to be the only Five-Colored Brocade Chicken with a special Bloodline.
"Classic of Mountains and Seas, analyze the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken."
【Five-Colored Brocade Chicken】
Analysis: A rare Spirit Beast whose feathers display five different colors, corresponding to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
1. Feeding roosters a First-Tier Medium Grade Spirit Medicine, huangjingzhi mushroom, can make them go into heat, increasing the probability of hens laying fertilized eggs.
2. Feeding hens and chicks Qingling Grass can help hens ovulate and shorten the time it takes for chicks to mature.
huangjingzhi mushroom is also a First-Tier Medium Grade Spirit Medicine, but its price is much cheaper than the chiyan pill.
And Qingling Grass is simple; although it is a First-Tier Low Grade Spiritual Plant, it has very low planting requirements, and can even be planted in non-spiritual fields.
He could have Mo Wenlian plant some specifically for raising Five-Colored Brocade Chickens.
"Xuan Ye, hurry and come eat breakfast. We still have to go to the Family school after eating."
Mother Mo's voice came from afar.
"Okay, I'm coming now."
Mo Xuanye rushed home. After becoming a Cultivator, although he hadn't learned Spells like light body techniques, his running speed had increased significantly; even an ordinary leopard probably couldn't catch up.
While eating, Mo Xuanye was thinking about how to ask his parents for Spirit Stones when Mo Wenyan took out 20 Low-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch and placed them on the table.
"You've just started to Cultivate, so you can't lack Cultivation resources. Take these 20 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for now to Cultivate. Your mother and I will give you more when you run out."
Mo Xuanye looked up at his father and Mother Mo, then chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll give you a surprise in 10 days."
The two were a bit puzzled but didn't ask further. Their first thought was that Mo Xuanye was confident he could Breakthrough with the help of these 20 Spirit Stones in ten days, but considering his Five Spiritual Roots, they dismissed that speculation; even a Heavenly Spiritual Root might not be able to Breakthrough within ten days.
At the Family school, after the morning studies ended, everyone else returned home to sense Spiritual Qi, while Mo Xuanye followed Elder San to the Family's medicinal field to learn how to identify Spirit Medicine.
"Elder San, is that the huangjingzhi mushroom?" Mo Xuanye asked, pointing to an acre of ganoderma lucidum that looked like it was made of gold.
"That's right. Have you started studying the First-Tier Spirit Medicine Compendium I gave you yesterday?" Mo Dizhao asked in return.
