Chapter 263 Drunken Immortal Gourd Upgrade
After Qingyang completely entered the Drunken Immortal Gourd, he was immediately stunned by everything in front of him. Although he had a certain psychological preparation, he did not expect that such a big change would happen inside. It was not that his psychological tolerance was poor, but the change exceeded his cognition.
First of all, the space inside the Drunken Immortal Gourd was only a little over 20 acres, and the length and width were about 40 feet. In the middle was a wine pool square with a length and width of about 20 feet, surrounded by land that could be planted, and the outermost layer was an impenetrable black curtain.
But now, the area of the entire Drunken Immortal Gourd space has expanded by almost ten times, with a length and width of more than 130 feet, and a total area of more than 200 acres. The wine pool square in the middle is still as big, and the black curtain is still there, but the land that can be planted around it has increased to more than 200 acres. This area is much larger than the spiritual field that Qingyang guarded before, and I don’t know how many more things can be planted.
After the space became larger, the terrain in the Drunken Immortal Gourd was no longer as flat as before. On the left near the black curtain, a bare hill appeared, about ten feet high. There is a mountain spring halfway up the mountain, bubbling out water. After the spring water flows to the foot of the mountain, it forms a small pool of seven or eight feet in the low-lying area, which is clear and visible.
Qingyang stepped forward and took a sip of water, put it to his mouth and tasted it. It was slightly sweet and even contained a trace of spiritual energy. Whether it was used to make wine or water the spiritual herbs and flowers in the Zuixian Gourd space, it was much better than the ordinary water outside.
With mountains and water, the Zuixian Gourd space is getting better and better. With such a large space, you won’t feel bored even if you live in it for a long time. Looking at this huge space, Qingyang was puzzled. Why did such a change happen? Could it be related to the improvement of his own cultivation? Could this Zuixian Gourd be upgraded with the improvement of his own cultivation?
This is too against the sky. He has just broken through the Qi Refining Stage, and the Zuixian Gourd space has increased so much. If he reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Golden Core Stage, or even the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, how big will the Zuixian Gourd space become? Thousands of acres? Tens of thousands of acres? Even hundreds of thousands of acres? If his cultivation continues to improve, will it be able to accommodate the entire Jiuzhou Continent?
Qingyang quickly shook his head and dispelled this unrealistic idea. There were no Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Jiuzhou Continent. How could he be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? With his own qualifications, he should be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in this life, right?
But no matter what, such a large space in the Drunken Immortal Gourd is his own, and he can carry it with him without worrying about being peeped and stolen. In the future, he can plant more spiritual herbs and trees with shorter growth periods in it, which will be of great use in the future whether he sells spiritual herbs or makes pills himself.
The second change in the Drunken Immortal Gourd is the spiritual herbs that Qingyang planted before. Before he was ready to break through the Qi Refining Stage, Qingyang saw with his own eyes that those spiritual herbs were only more than one foot tall, and there was still a long time before they could be harvested. But now, the spiritual herbs and grains have not only grown more than one foot taller, but they are all almost mature.
No wonder the Drunken Immortal Gourd absorbed so much spiritual energy after Qingyang's breakthrough. It turned out that not only did the Drunken Immortal Gourd space itself grow, but it also ripened the countless spiritual herbs planted by Qingyang in it. I didn't expect that the Drunken Immortal Gourd actually had this function, which saved me a lot of time.
Spiritual grains can be used to refine the Bigu Pill, which can be used during closed-door cultivation, saving a lot of cultivation time. And those spiritual herbs, minus half of the low-level spiritual herbs in the Kaimai Realm that I no longer need, the rest can be used to refine the Qi Gathering Pill for Qi Refining cultivators.
Looking at the almost mature spiritual grains and spiritual herbs on the ground, Qingyang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known this, he should have planted more and harvested more spiritual herbs. In this way, not only would there be no shortage of pills to improve cultivation, but the extra spiritual herbs could also be exchanged for some spiritual stones.
When he was in Yuling City, Qingyang didn't have many spiritual stones, and the spiritual grains and spiritual grass seeds he bought were not many, so he only planted one acre of spiritual grains and a few hundred spiritual herbs in the Drunken Immortal Gourd. Hundreds of spiritual herbs, minus some low-level spiritual herbs used to refine medicine for the Kaimai Realm, the remaining ones are only more than 200, almost all of which are materials for refining Qi-Gathering Pills.
Qingyang also knew that such things could not be forced. It was already a blessing from heaven to get so many extra spiritual herbs. How could he dare to expect more? But he would learn from his mistakes next time. The space of the Drunken Immortal Gourd was ten times larger, and there were many more open spaces. He could plant more spiritual herbs in it.
It was too troublesome to sell so many spiritual herbs. It was difficult to explain the source, and it was easy to attract the covetousness of other cultivators. It would be better if he could refine pills himself.
As a cultivator, he always had to master some other useful skills. Since he had no talent in making talismans, he might as well learn to refine pills. He could refine the spiritual herbs he planted into pills himself, and then take them directly by himself. He was self-sufficient and there was no possibility of being exposed.
With the alchemy technique, not only can these spiritual herbs be refined into Qi-gathering pills, but also spiritual grains can be refined into fasting pills for backup. In the future, the petals and nectar of the Wannianhong can be refined into anti-aging pills and longevity pills to sell to others, which can bring much higher profits than directly selling materials.
The spiritual herbs and spiritual grains have undergone such great changes. Qingyang flashed and came to the four seedlings that he had always placed high hopes on, wanting to see if they had changed.
Of course there are changes, and they are greater than those of the spiritual herbs and spiritual grains. Before, these four seedlings had grown in the Zuixian Gourd space for more than three years, and they were only half a foot high. As a result, after a short time, the four seedlings have soared to nearly three feet high.
The Wannianhong is the most conspicuous, with red flowers all over the tree, which is very pleasing. Looking from a distance, it looks like a ball of red flames burning. The branches of Wannianhong are already as thick as a child's arm, and many branches grow around it, covered with fist-sized red flowers.
The branches of the peach seedlings are much thinner than those of the Wannianhong, but they are not short at all. On the branches as thick as fingers, there are several thin branches, carrying dozens of slender peach leaves, but there is no peach flower on them. It is unknown when they will bear fruit.
The gourd seedlings and grape vines are even thinner. There are only a dozen leaves on the slender branches. When they grow to a height of three feet, the grape vines can barely support their bodies, but the gourd seedlings have long fallen to the ground. When I have time later, I must find some more thin bamboo poles to build a frame for the gourd seedlings and grape vines to grow and climb.
