Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 91 Planting Complex Array

Within the omnipotent space, Xiao Ming had transformed into a diligent farmer, wielding a hoe and digging a large pit.

He then took out the array flags and compass of the Hundred Barriers Bewildering Array. Looking at so many tools, Xiao Ming was somewhat troubled.

In the past, the items planted were all single items, and there was only one type.

Now, not only is the array compass special, but even the twelve flags have different functions.

Once this set of array tools is buried, will a whole set grow? Or can it only be planted separately according to category? If so, then thirteen spiritual plants will need to be grown, which will be a test of his energy and resources.

"Anyway, let's give it a try." Xiao Ming took out a piece of cloth, packed the whole set of array flags, and put them into the pit he had just dug.

He then walked to the spirit stone tree next to him, picked a few mid-grade spirit stones, crushed them and put them into the pit as nutrients, then skillfully covered them with soil and watered them with spirit eye water.

In no time, a seedling sprouted.

【Name】：Hundred Barriers Bewildering Array

[Growth Status]: Budding stage (1%)

Current Status: Good

However, unlike other spiritual plant seedlings that Xiao Ming had seen, this seedling had thinner and longer roots and stems, and it did not look like a sprouting sapling, but rather like a vine.

"Could it be that the spiritual plants that normally grow in this omnipotent land are not just small trees?" Xiao Ming muttered to himself.

He wasn't quite sure whether it was because the things he planted this time were special, or because of a new change that occurred after he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Besides planting this complex array, Xiao Ming also planted something else: the Heavenly Thunder Seed.

Such valuable items that can pose a threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators are naturally desirable in greater quantities.

"Since the main ingredient for refining this Thunder Seed is Thunderfire Crystal, then using it as fertilizer should make this Thunder Seed grow better, and it's even possible that it will grow quickly to the shrub stage."

Thinking this, Xiao Ming took out some more Thunderfire Crystals and used them as topsoil to cover the roots of the spirit plant seedlings.

After finishing all this, Xiao Ming tended to the other spiritual plants in the field before exiting the omnipotent space.

"Waaaaah..."

As soon as Xiao Ming opened his eyes, he saw a small animal approaching him, nuzzling his hand with its head and making whimpering sounds.

"Are you hungry?" Xiao Ming casually tossed out a spirit stone.

The little beast immediately leaped up, bit the spirit stone, and swallowed it in pieces.

The little beast, not satisfied with eating the spirit stone, came closer and acted coquettishly.

This time, Xiao Ming released a firebird, which was immediately attracted by the small beast and hovered around it.

The little beast didn't hold back at all, opening its mouth and swallowing the firebird whole. Then it coughed and spat out its dull feathers.

This little beast was none other than Chi Yan, the pet that Xiao Ming had painstakingly hatched!

In the past few days, Xiao Ming had also read through some ancient books, trying to find out what kind of demonic beast Chi Yan was, but he found nothing.

Now that he had eaten and drunk his fill, the little guy stopped making a fuss and just jumped onto the bed, lying down at Xiao Ming's feet to take a nap.

"What a greedy and sleepy little guy." Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly.

Regaining his attention, Xiao Ming took out another jade slip, a spellbook he had exchanged with contribution points at the Transmission Hall during his spare time. It explained how to refine Gu spirits.

Duanmu Yan's actions in the Cangwu Mountain Secret Realm and the lectures given by Elder Xuanyuan Peak in the Transmission Hall left a deep impression on him regarding this type of secret technique.

Previously, Xiao Ming's only goal was to establish his foundation, so although he coveted this spell, he could only put it aside for the time being.

Now that Xiao Ming has successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he finally has plenty of time to do what he wants.

After carefully studying the cultivation manual, Xiao Ming also discovered that there were several different methods for refining Gu spirits.

One method, like Duanmu Yan, involves imprinting secret patterns onto the muscles and bones to form an immortal and indestructible spiritual body. This body strengthens as the user's power increases and can be controlled with ease. However, the downside is that if the spiritual body is destroyed, the physical body will suffer a backlash from the secret technique.

Another method is to use talismans or magical artifacts as carriers for the Gu spirit. Although this method is less powerful than the previous one, it at least avoids backlash and has fewer side effects.

In the past, Xiao Ming would have definitely refined talismans, but after obtaining the Thunder Banner Spear, he changed his mind.

Talismans are not as durable as magical artifacts, are more difficult to make, and will be damaged after a certain number of uses, while magical artifacts do not have this problem.

Xiao Ming believed that the Gu Spirit refined using this top-grade lightning-attribute magic weapon as a vessel would be no less powerful than the original Gu Spirit.

With that in mind, Xiao Ming took out the necessary materials and began refining them.

Although the method of refining Gu spirits is a magic technique, it is similar to refining talismans. In addition, the load-bearing capacity of magic artifacts is much stronger than that of talisman paper, so the margin for error is also greater.

Relying on the foundation left by his previous talisman-making, Xiao Ming finally managed to get back on track without any major incidents.

Three days later, dark clouds gathered in the sky above Qixiu Peak, and thunder rumbled incessantly.

Suddenly, a roar came from Xiao Ming's cave. The Thunder Banner Spear transformed into a blue thunder spirit beast resembling a lion and rushed out of the window.

The Gu spirit, bathed in lightning, circled the cave once before returning to Xiao Ming's side, transforming into a lightning spear as tall as a person.

The banner atop the spear unfurled, revealing a lifelike thunder spirit beast staring back at him.

"This Gu Spirit Secret Technique is truly amazing; it has actually given magical artifacts a spiritual quality." Xiao Ming exclaimed, brandishing his spear with delight.

With this top-grade lightning-attribute magic weapon imbued with a Gu spirit, Xiao Ming believed he could even put up a fight against a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After putting away the newly crafted trump card, Xiao Ming played with Chi Yan for a while before starting his cultivation.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Qi Gathering Pills and Qingming Pills I had taken before completely lost their effect, and even the effect of the spiritual spring water was greatly reduced.

Xiao Ming has not yet found a suitable alternative pill, and with his five spiritual roots, without the aid of pills, his cultivation is ridiculously slow.

Even disregarding the bottlenecks in the mid and late stages, Xiao Ming doubted whether he could ever reach the peak of Foundation Establishment in his lifetime.

Fortunately, he has a replacement for now.

A bluish-green pill appeared in Xiao Ming's hand.

This is precisely the Foundation Establishment Pill that all Qi Refining Peak cultivators covet, making them willingly serve their sects.

However, this pill, which Qi Refining cultivators were now going crazy for, was swallowed casually by Xiao Ming, as ordinary as eating a bean.

The Foundation Establishment Pill has powerful medicinal properties, so it can naturally be used to enhance cultivation.

Before this, even the son of a Nascent Soul Ancestor could not tolerate such wasteful behavior.

But for Xiao Ming now, this is actually the safest way. Foundation Establishment Pills are strategic resources that are strictly controlled by the sect, and any fluctuation in supply may attract the attention of the higher-ups.
