Out at sea, the rate of interception incidents was significantly lower than on land.

Lu Qing wasn't sure why, but whatever the reason, it couldn't be separated from the words 'deep-level power'.

After the transaction, this Sea Merchant politely and courteously bid farewell to Lu Qing, gently rippled the water, and disappeared into the blue sea.

Lu Qing looked at the ripples on the water and couldn't help but think: Water Tribe cultivation emphasizes following nature, and seeing it today, it truly is similar.

The Water Tribe has a slow temperament. Lu Qing had seen in some records that the Water Tribe's cultivation is unlike their path of immortal cultivation; they adhere to transactions. As long as a transaction is completed, their cultivation advances by one point.

The Xuantian Dao Academy is based in the Profound Heaven Domain but is not confined there. It also keeps detailed records of information about surrounding areas to help newly initiated disciples find answers to their confusions.

However, because the South Sea region has its own cultivation world, aside from scattered records about the Water Tribe near the coast, more information generally requires unlocking permissions.

"Star Tree seeds, after successful planting, can assist cultivation for a long time. White Dew Water Essence and Deep Sea Snow Lotus are, after all, from the South Sea, and they should be able to survive when planted in water."

The difficulty of planting these South Sea Spiritual plant seeds is not high. However, all things have spirits, and these are spirit seeds with rich pure spiritual energy. There's no problem with them growing close together.

However, something like the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon requires opening another Spiritual Field for planting.

Lu Qing now has an extra small personal space, so he naturally doesn't worry about not having enough Spiritual Fields.

The Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon's name is majestic, but it is a type of grass Spiritual plant.

When mature, it is three inches high, its roots are dark like night, and its leaves are blood-red, curved like a True Dragon soaring through the sky.

When it grows on its roots, it resembles a blood-colored True Dragon soaring through the night sky, black and red. The Spirit Planter who first discovered this Spiritual plant immediately named it the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon.

Apart from the Star Tree, the second Spiritual plant seed Lu Qing paid attention to was it.

"It's not bad to be able to encounter it. The price is a bit lower than the market price," Lu Qing picked up the second light shield, examined it for a while, and murmured.

The Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon can be used in elixirs, eaten, used as new firewood for furnaces, and used as talisman paper. Among the four prevalent crafts in the cultivation world, this Spiritual plant uniquely serves four functions. It is evident that after planting it, there will definitely be no shortage of buyers when it is sold.

Whether one wants to refine elixirs, make talismans, raise their artifact fire, or even pick it after it matures to make delicious food, there is no problem.

Compared to being proficient in one path versus being mediocre in all paths, the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon chooses to embody all paths. In layman's terms, its effect is not as good as medicinal herbs specifically nurtured for refining elixirs, and its material is not as smooth as specialized talisman materials.

Nor does it have the excellent taste of those Spiritual plants specifically grown to be eaten.

But these are not problems. Lu Qing bought it following the affordable route, the path of small profits but quick turnover. Anyway, it is usable.

Moreover, after spending a little time cultivating it in the early stage, it can basically be left to grow on its own later.

Logically speaking, such a Spiritual plant should be able to enter the sixth-grade range. With such a wide range of effects, if more people use it, it might even break into the fifth-grade Spiritual plant.

However, it is a pity, Lu Qing looked at the two fiery red Spiritual plant seeds in his hand.

They are seventh-grade Spiritual plants.

Very few Spiritual plants in the world are given the wrong names. All living beings in the world have spirits. True Dragons are arrogant, and the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon is domineering and fierce, looking down on any other Spiritual plant.

Planting the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon cannot be done like before, where Lu Qing just drew a clear boundary and was done.

No other Spiritual plant can appear in the place where it grows, not even its own kind, otherwise it will wither and die, and it will die particularly quickly. Even if the Spirit Planter who planted it wants to move its location immediately, it is usually useless. Some predecessors have also tried setting up formations, but unfortunately, this path is also unfeasible.

Because of this, many Spirit Planters have a love-hate relationship with it. Beginner Spirit Planters basically won't touch this type of arrogant and domineering Spiritual plant, otherwise, wouldn't their small Spiritual Field only be able to grow one Spiritual plant?

That would be a huge loss.

Only Cultivators like Lu Qing, who are part-time Spirit Planters and whose cultivation is relatively smooth, would buy it.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have failed to be widely promoted.

Other Spiritual plants also named after True Dragons do not have this characteristic. However, different places nurture different people, and there is no perfect Spiritual plant. Lu Qing doesn't feel much of a burden about this small flaw.

"For this Spiritual Field, I need to specifically open up a quiet, independent space for it. An independent space..."

Lu Qing calculated the different areas of Spirit Leaf Island in his mind, considering which place was suitable for placing the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon.

He had plenty of land in the mountains now.

As soon as he thought of an independent space, he immediately remembered the snow-white long feather he had recently obtained.

The feather was soft, and no one would know that a small world had been opened up within it using Divine Power.

"If the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon is planted well, I can sell it all year round. This will be a source of Spirit Stones."

Because of its wide range of uses, Lu Qing wasn't worried that no one would buy it. As long as he put it out there, someone would always need it.

Not to mention the Alchemy Hall within the Mountain Gate, which refines elixirs all day long. The resources consumed are something Lu Qing cannot imagine right now.

He directly put away these seeds, not into his Storage Ring, but directly into the small mountain land within the long feather.

The customs and traditions here in South Province have a hint of 'if you don't agree, fight it out'. Staying here for a long time doesn't quite align with Lu Qing's path of cultivation.

After all, the more low-key one is here, the more likely someone is to come seeking death.

Lu Qing is not a high-profile Cultivator. After leaving South Province, the flying boat headed towards Zhong Province.

At the same time, while traveling, Lu Qing was not in a hurry to rush back immediately.

His Divine Soul stirred slightly, connecting with the space within that feather. Subsequently, a figure was outlined from head to toe in this world.

It was Lu Qing's Divine Soul.

"After returning this time, I must give Child extra meals."

Lu Qing looked at the beautiful mountains and clear waters, the birds singing and flowers fragrant in front of him, and thought to himself, with such an elder, no wonder the White Crane Boy occasionally shirks his duties and goes to White Sea to play without encountering anything.

In other words, he had truly not expected that the White Crane Boy, who seemingly worried about Spirit Stones every day, was actually a second-generation Cultivator behind the scenes.

Lu Qing had already measured this small space with his eyes. It had mountains and water, clear water and clean mountains, plains and small lakes. Beside the small lake, hundreds of clumps of phoenix-tail bamboo were growing. The wind passed through the bamboo, creating a fine sound, and a fresh aura came rushing towards him.

Lu Qing stood beside the small lake, using this position as the center point, and decisively acted on the surrounding land. Rumbling sounds appeared, and soon, patches of Spiritual Fields were marked out.

The terrain here is lower than the mountain ridges and less undulating.

This area is indeed feasible for raising the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon.

However, Lu Qing also thought that if he could only plant it here, it would be a bit of a waste of this small space.

"Let's find another place within Spirit Leaf Island for it."

Lu Qing thought for a moment and decided to give up on planting the Mystic Cloud Blood Dragon here. After all, this type of Spiritual plant's nature cannot tolerate other Spiritual plants, and he would definitely carry this small world with him when he went out. However, if there was something that couldn't be put into a Storage Ring, it could be placed inside here.

In short, the small space in the long feather has other uses.

But now that the mission was completed, Lu Qing was no longer worried about any missions falling from the sky onto him for the next three years.
