Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming

Chapter 2319 - 1299: Ice Crystal Garden (Part 2)

After all, the larger trees have already taken shape, transforming into plants with even higher abilities, yet they cannot be contracted or harvested to make pills.The seedlings are easier for them to pick, and nurturing and cultivating them to grow might be a longer process, but during this nurturing process, those medicinal herbs are more suitable for their use.

The seedlings picked from these places might need an ice crystal environment to be planted.

This is not difficult for them at all. Previously, they had harvested many ice crystals, all stored in their magical treasures.

In the planting space, they can put these ice crystals in and use them to plant these seedlings.

Planting immortal herbs from ice crystals will help them forge their bodies in the future and grow the immortal elixir for their path to become immortals.

When they were picking seedlings, the elf trees and elf flowers became anxious, as those were their grandchildren.

It was as if they were digging up their grandchildren, as before they were only trying to scare away those intruders and drive them off.

This time, they truly offended them by trying to dig up their grandchildren.

They fought desperately, continuously calling out to the artifact spirit inside the Ice Crystal Palace to see if it could drive these humans away.

The artifact spirit of the Ice Crystal Palace did not come out, but it conveyed a message to these ice crystal plants: if they didn’t want to be dug up, they should stop complaining.

If their descendants are dug up, they should strive to reproduce, and once these humans leave, they will be safe again.

...

Luo Yaxuan led his people in digging, needing a special immortal artifact to dig up the seedlings.

They dug excitedly, yet at this time also sensed a wave of melancholy and sorrow.

Luo Yaxuan could feel this emotion but was not infected by it.

He knew it was from uprooting the medicinal herbs; their sorrowful aura emanated from them.

This was not ordinary spirit grass, but immortal herbs.

Although Luo Yaxuan felt the sorrowful aura, which almost made him cry with its powerful presence, he was not a particularly emotional person. Though gentle, he was not cold-hearted.

He had a tolerant heart towards people but was not overly kindhearted in a naively saintly way.

The sorrowful aura at the moment didn’t overly affect him.

Feeling the aura, Luo Yaxuan was concerned whether his team was affected by it.

He observed and found his wife’s eyes were red, constantly shedding tears.

The men in his team all had red eyes.

It was due to the sorrowful aura infecting them.

Luo Yaxuan commanded his team to hold strong, to drive away the aura, and not be confused by it.

He embraced his wife to comfort her.

Lai Jianlin also felt the sorrowful aura, his first thought being to protect his wife, then he observed the team members.

The sorrowful emotion can tempt people, causing sadness and potentially leading them to harm themselves in that state.

It can bury itself in the heart, making emotions depressive, and if it persists, it can significantly alter one’s character.

Realizing something amiss, Lai Jianlin instructed his team to resist this emotional influence using spells.

He let the spiritual pets unleash greater power to counter the emotions, preventing their masters from being tempted.

The greatest challenge at this moment was to avoid being harmed by the elves while uprooting the medicinal herbs.

Their elves were fighting against the opposing elves in magic combat.

Only then could they have the ability to uproot the medicinal herbs.

Entering this Ice Crystal Garden offered the greatest benefit of harvesting these immortal herbs.

This was the welfare of their venture here, and they couldn’t afford to lose it due to various difficulties.

They also realized, if not for the elves’ help, their cultivators couldn’t have passed the trials.

The two teams, each member dug up some seedlings of every variety to ensure they collected them all.

Their greed wasn’t boundless; once they dug them up and planted them in their space, their task of uprooting seedlings was complete.

Then they collectively faced the opposing flowers and plants.

They had no idea how long they fought against the flower fairies in this garden.

Initially, they spent several days in the square without gaining entry to the Ice Crystal Palace, only discovering that they could enter after ten days.

In the garden, it took them more than ten days to clear a path to have a chance to enter the palace.

By then, they realized several days had already passed outside in their month time frame.

The Ice Crystal Palace was vast, with many areas to explore; they needed to seize more opportunities to conquer more obstacles and reap more benefits.

This wasn’t just about becoming stronger; it was about seeking welfare.

Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin initially entered each area separately but joined forces upon opening a passage to a grand palace door.

They opened the door to a vast palace hall, facing even stronger mechanisms.

Now, both teams saw each other, but once in the grand palace, they grouped together, surrounding the clan leader couple for protection.

Both teams did the same.

Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin communicated; entering here together meant advancing together.

In the places they advanced into, they agreed to split the gains evenly.

They worked together to conquer more challenges.

They strove together for more future benefits.

Understanding the power of numbers, they also realized upon entering the palace the puppet forms had already changed.

The previous ice crystal puppets were small heart-shaped crystals.

Though their numbers felt overwhelming, and they seemed intelligent and strong.

Yet, with the elves’ help and their strengthened aura, they could endure against these puppets.

Now facing stronger puppets, the aura was even stronger.

The previous puppets were soldiers; these are young generals, stronger than the soldiers.

Their attire was different, and their aura stronger, requiring more power to defeat them.

Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin frowned simultaneously; with the young generals stronger, the difficulty of opposing them increased.

No matter how difficult it is, they must win.

As they hesitated, their abilities surged.

Perhaps it was a benefit from entering the trial place.

It’s a growth benefit given by the Saint Master when facing challenges.

Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin’s teams felt more confident, though they saw only the young generals now, and the palace inside was shrouded in mist, blocking their view.

As long as they passed this barrier, they could see the inside; perhaps there were surprises behind the mystery.

In this month, they merely had a few meals.

They consumed more filling medicinal products.

This is how cultivators are; sometimes, they go into seclusion to break through stages, forsaking sleep and food for power.

The cultivation journey is long, regardless of their cultivation level or meal needs.

Driven by ambition, they overcame these hardships.

Battle was about to erupt, with both teams relying on elf assistance, enclosing them for an attack on the young generals’ abilities.

They primarily used thunder and fire, although metal and earth also had some effect, but wood had none.

The cold aura weakened the wooden aura.

Fire and thunder’s power countered the Ice Army’s young generals’ abilities.

The two teams fought together against countless young generals; though their abilities and aura rose, their numbers were too few, and despite spiritual pets aiding, they couldn’t breach quickly.

Defeating a young general, when vanquishing one, they gained stronger Ice Crystal Puppet Crystals.
