CHAPTER 115: Questioning the Immortal Abode
Liu Yu was not surprised by this change; judging by the surge in spiritual consciousness, he knew that the transformation of his Primordial Spirit was significant, as spiritual consciousness originates from the Primordial Spirit.
The world of the Immortal Abode remained the same, with the Blue Barrier and the small island unchanged. The dark void was as dark as ever, and the black spiritual farmland and three wooden houses were still intact. Only the weathered ancient well had a trace of spiritual energy rising from it.
He drew half a bucket of water from the ancient well and found it to be even purer, devoid of any impurities, and rich in spiritual energy, qualifying it as a medium-grade spiritual spring.
Unfortunately, after reaching the foundation establishment stage, the Clear Lotus Spiritual Tea, which complemented his spiritual consciousness, could no longer enhance it. Liu Yu lamented this.
He then took out some seeds of the Azure Spirit Mushroom from the wooden house on the left, planting them in the black spiritual farmland to observe their changes.
The Azure Spirit Mushroom was a rare spiritual herb, especially the aged ones. A hundred-year-old specimen could be used to refine qi refinement stage elixirs, while those aged two or three hundred years could be used for foundation establishment stage elixirs. Five hundred and a thousand-year-old specimens could be used for golden core and nascent soul stage elixirs, respectively.
Liu Yu was familiar with the external characteristics of the Azure Spirit Mushroom at each age and could identify their age using their appearance. Testing with the Azure Spirit Mushroom was the best option.
Soon, a small green shoot quietly emerged from the black soil, growing slowly under the observation of his spiritual consciousness.
In the Immortal Abode's spiritual farmland, a single hour of growth equated to twenty years in the outside world. After seven or eight hours of growth, the Azure Spirit Mushroom had already reached over two hundred years of medicinal age and showed no signs of stopping. However, the black spiritual soil started to become yellow due to insufficient spiritual power, slowing the growth rate. Seeing this, Liu Yu hurried outside the Immortal Abode and brought back three hundred spiritual stones.
Placing the three hundred spiritual stones on the black spiritual farmland, the farmland absorbed their spiritual power within a few breaths, turning the stones into a fine dust, demonstrating its overwhelming power!
After replenishing the spiritual power, the spiritual soil regained its deep black color, and the Azure Spirit Mushroom began to grow rapidly again.
Liu Yu did not lack the time to patiently wait. He observed the growth of the spiritual herb beside the farmland. After twenty-five hours since planting, the Azure Spirit Mushroom finally stopped growing.
Due to the unique rules of the Immortal Abode, the Primordial Spirit was no longer an ethereal force but could directly interfere with matter.
Liu Yu excavated the spiritual herb using Primordial Spirit Power, sweeping his spiritual consciousness over every inch of it.
At this moment, the Azure Spirit Mushroom stood about half a foot tall and two inches wide, with a faint golden ring of patterns at the top. This faint golden pattern only appeared every five hundred years, marking the spiritual herb's age as five hundred years, which was highly sought after by golden core stage cultivators.
"Could it be that the Immortal Abode's limit for growth enhancement has reached five hundred years?" Liu Yu speculated, but he did not jump to conclusions, as one Azure Spirit Mushroom was too one-sided.
He then took out seeds of three other spiritual herbs, each with a maturation period of five hundred years, which would stop growing after reaching maturity and producing seeds.
"The limit for enhancement has changed from two hundred years to five hundred years." After conducting the experiment, Liu Yu was certain that with the increase in his cultivation, the rules of the Immortal Abode had also changed; not only had the ancient well's spiritual energy revived into a spiritual spring, but the maturation period of the spiritual farmland had also increased.
