I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm
Chapter 343 - 151: Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object: 12-Colored Flower, Water Spirit Pearl
The petal fell.
This Twelve-Color Flower is as if it has already begun withering and dying. Trying to revive it is almost impossible.
Even if it could be revived, the Twelve-Color Flower would lose its original function without the corresponding petal, and it would be impossible to use it as a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object for refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
"Previously, the Pavilion Master sought my help to save it.
But I’m ashamed to admit that after much deliberation, I still lack confidence in reviving this Twelve-Color Flower," Jiang Yu said as he stroked his beard.
"Even Elder Jiang has no solution, and our spirit plant skills are far inferior, so how can we have any remedy?"
Hearing this, Li Pengfei’s face changed, and he spoke helplessly.
In the room, when it comes to spirit plant skills, Jiang Yu’s were indeed the highest. Not only was his cultivation level higher, but he was also a Second-Grade Spirit Plant Master, the junior of Master Xu Nian.
In terms of spirit plant skills, he was considered extremely high among High-Tier First-Grade Spirit Plant Masters.
Within the Shuiyun Pavilion, it was unanimously recognized that his skills were top-notch. After hearing this, the others also furrowed their brows.
"Perhaps inviting Master Xu Nian might still yield a chance," Fang Zhiqing tentatively suggested.
Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects are exceptionally precious.
If cured, that would be ideal. But if not, and it worsens the condition of the spirit plant, they couldn’t bear the responsibility.
"Actually, after the issue arose, I already consulted Elder Jiang about this Twelve-Color Flower.
After Elder Jiang expressed his inability to help, I also went to invite Master Xu Nian.
However, Master Xu Nian is currently in seclusion, and it’s said to take half a year for him to emerge.
But this Twelve-Color Flower evidently cannot wait that long.
Hence, I called upon all of you fellow Daoists to join forces and figure out a solution.
Rest assured, even if it cannot be saved, I will not hold anyone accountable but myself, for my insufficient spirit plant skills which failed to nurture this Twelve-Color Flower properly.
Fortunately, I recently acquired a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object from the Black Market, so even if this Twelve-Color Flower does not survive,
I should still have time to cultivate a third Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.
At worst, if another Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object comes up for auction, I will spare no expense to acquire it, completing the three sets of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects."
Tang Yu Yan’s face showed a hint of determination as she spoke.
For almost all cultivators aspiring to it, Foundation Establishment is an obsession.
It is the goal that many Qi Cultivation cultivators strive towards.
Tang Yu Yan is evidently no exception.
For the sake of Foundation Establishment, she is willing to spare no effort.
Hearing this, everyone’s pressure was alleviated a bit.
After all, everyone knows the preciousness of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.
This particular Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object was about to mature, yet problems arose at the final moment. Any loss would be unbearable.
With Tang Yu Yan’s promise not to hold them accountable, they naturally felt more at ease.
However, Zhou Changwang was moved by this.
He recalled his previous trip to the Black Market, where during the final auction, a Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object was indeed auctioned. If he remembered correctly, it was bought by a female cultivator for 45,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
It was unexpected that the female cultivator turned out to be Tang Yu Yan, the Pavilion Master of Shuiyun Pavilion.
"After my initial inspection, I determined that this symptom of the Twelve-Color Flower was caused by spirit insects ravaging it.
However, after trying several methods, we couldn’t detect the presence of those spirit insects and dared not use magic to harm the spirit plant, leaving us helpless.
Secondly, there seemed to be an issue with the planting process of the spirit plant itself.
Over this period, I’ve consulted some materials.
I’ve preliminarily determined that insufficient spiritual qi supply in the spirit land may be the cause..."
At this moment, Jiang Yu also spoke, offering two suggestions.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shao Han, Fang Zhiqing, Lu Yun, and other Spirit Plant Masters continuously observed the spirit plant. Some employed special techniques to perceive and investigate, their brows furrowed, remaining silent.
"I have also considered the issue with spirit insects.
Yet, like Elder Jiang, I haven’t discovered anything.
Furthermore, regarding the insufficiency of spiritual qi, I have also attempted solutions, even pouring in five bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid.
But I found that the Twelve-Color Flower not only didn’t improve but withered and deteriorated even faster."
Tang Yu Yan spoke helplessly.
Hearing this, everyone frowned even more.
The crux of the issue seems indeed to be the spirit insects.
Given the countless types of spirit insects, if they could be found and eliminated with the appropriate method, the problem would be resolved.
However, after a thorough investigation, they still couldn’t find traces of the spirit insects.
Evidently, these spirit insects either excel at concealment or are rooted deep within the spirit plant. To remove them without damaging the Twelve-Color Flower itself is indeed a herculean task.
"Have you tried involving Insect Cultivators?
Insect Cultivators are the cultivators most adept at dealing with spirit insects.
Although Insect Cultivators are usually eccentric and difficult to approach, they possess methods to attract and repel insects, proving to be quite effective against spirit insects."
At this moment, Li Pengfei seemed to remember something and inquired.
"Of course, I’ve also reached out for help.
I even set up a bounty in the Black Market.
Several groups came, including Insect Cultivator Butter, a formal disciple of Insect Valley with Eighth-layer Qi Cultivation. He’s the most formidable Insect Cultivator at Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, yet even he couldn’t lure out the spirit insects from the Twelve-Color Flower."
