Yi Huai observed everything in Mountain Valley, where several small Spirit Veins intertwined, and in the midst of it all, there was a Spirit Spring, and hundreds of acres of spiritual fields.
Various types of Spirit Plants thrived in these fields, with one particular patch standing out prominently.
This particular area covered over a hundred acres, and the Spiritual Objects planted within resembled Spirit Grain but were much taller than regular Spirit Grain.
He had never seen Spirit Grain stalks over ten feet tall before, and the grains on them were far larger than usual.
Those grains were the size of fists, and he hadn't even heard of them, let alone seen them.
"Friend Wang, forgive my ignorance, but are these Spirit Grain?" Yi Huai inquired of Wang Hong, who stood beside him.
"Indeed, they are Spirit Grain. I happened to obtain a few seeds and decided to try planting them. Although they weren't easy to cultivate, I eventually succeeded, and now they've proliferated into this vast field," Wang Hong replied. At the same time, he plucked a few stalks of grain. "Today, I'll cook some Spirit Rice made from these grains to treat our esteemed seniors."
While Yi Huai toured Mountain Valley, Gu Yuan and Sloppy Old Daoist were patrolling the area, familiarizing themselves with the surroundings to prepare for future battles with Demonic Beasts.
"The formation in this Mountain Valley, I wonder who the masterful formation expert behind it is. Despite being a second-tier formation, it's arranged incredibly cleverly," Sloppy Old Daoist praised.
"However, the defense of this formation around Mountain Valley seems a bit weak. Come, Senior Gu, follow me to take a look," they said in unison.
As they flew towards the peak surrounding Mountain Valley and prepared to cross over from the summit, Sloppy Old Daoist suddenly shouted, "Senior Gu, be careful!"
At that moment, several thick vines began to coil around them, some as thick as water buckets, and others as thin as fingers, all covered in menacing wooden thorns.
Fortunately, both of them were seasoned Golden Core cultivators with agility, so they quickly evaded the vines, preventing any harm.
After retreating to a safe distance, Gu Yuan frowned as he gazed at the multitude of Devilish Vines before them.
"Why are there so many Devilish Vines?"
"Heh! It's not just Devilish Vines. Senior Gu, use your Divine Sense to look beyond those rocks," Sloppy Old Daoist chuckled.
Following Sloppy Old Daoist's guidance, Gu Yuan extended his Divine Sense forward and spotted some vibrant and captivating flowers.
"These flowers... Red Powder Skull Flowers?" Gu Yuan said with a hint of uncertainty, as he wasn't very familiar with this type of flower.
"Yes, precisely these. The pollen from these flowers can ensnare humans or Demonic Beasts in illusions, rendering them defenseless, and then the Devilish Vines entangle and kill them," Sloppy Old Daoist explained.
"Quite a poisonous tactic!" Gu Yuan exclaimed.
"Regardless of the means, as long as they're effective against enemies, they are good tactics. It seems we don't have to worry much as long as the incoming Demonic Beasts aren't too numerous. We've seen enough; let's head back," Sloppy Old Daoist said.
Upon their return to Mountain Valley, Wang Hong had already prepared food and drinks to welcome everyone and provide them with a break.
"Nephew Wang, you even have Golden Spotted Bamboo Shoots here! We've been eating Demonic Beast meat every day for some time now, and it's become quite monotonous."
Sloppy Old Daoist took a small sip of Spirit Wine and savored the crisp bamboo shoots, feeling immensely delighted.
"Ah, it's just a pity for all my high-quality ingredients," Sloppy Old Daoist thought, remembering the premium ingredients he had grown in his cave mansion, feeling a twinge of regret.
Wang Hong had prepared food for over ten thousand people this time, as a gesture of hospitality to all the newcomers, extending his generosity as the host.
For the Immortal Cultivators, the meal was entirely comprised of Spirit Meals. One delicious feast after another helped numerous cultivators, who had grown weary due to continuous warfare, to relax both their bodies and minds.
"It's embarrassing to admit, but this is my first time ever having a Spirit Meal. I never thought Spirit Meals would be so delicious!" remarked a seemingly destitute Qi Cultivation cultivator.
"Who would have thought we could even have Spirit Rice here? In these times of constant conflict, it's hard to come by anything spiritual, even if you're willing to spend Spirit Stones."
"Spirit Rice is nothing; I heard that the senior Foundation Building cultivators get to enjoy Spirit Wine at their tables. Spirit Wine has become a strategic resource now."
"Have you not seen the hundreds of acres of spirit fields in this Mountain Valley, especially the central area with second-tier Spiritual Herbs? Just plucking one would save you decades of effort."
The large group of cultivators discussed everything they had seen in Mountain Valley while indulging in their meal.
With Wang Hong's current wealth, treating over ten thousand people to a meal was not a problem. However, he only intended to offer this meal for free, and they would have to fend for themselves afterward.
"Wang, may I inquire about the price of these Spirit Grains? I'd like to purchase all of them if possible," Yi Huai asked Wang Hong during the banquet.
"Yi Fellow Daoist, you can't hog all the good things. If Nephew Wang is willing to part with them, I'd like to buy them all as well," Gu Yuan chimed in without reservation.
They had already tasted the difference between these Spirit Grains and the regular ones. The Spirit Qi within them was more than ten times denser, and if consumed by cultivators below the Foundation Building stage, it could even aid in increasing their cultivation levels.
For cultivators like them, items that could benefit their cultivation levels were scarce.
Sloppy Old Daoist, on the other hand, remained calm. He had been injured in the past, and his cultivation level had long stopped growing, leading to his current self-indulgent lifestyle.
At this point, Wang Hong had to make a decision, allowing each person to purchase a maximum of fifty acres of Spirit Grains.
Moreover, Wang Hong needed refining materials right now, and he prioritized this as the payment method. Yi Huai and Gu Yuan had no choice but to comply with Wang Hong's terms.
The banquet had just ended, and many cultivators approached Wang Hong, eager to purchase the Spiritual Herbs from Mountain Valley.
In the midst of ongoing conflicts in various regions, many Spiritual Herb fields had already been destroyed, making Spiritual Herbs exceedingly rare.
Upon entering Mountain Valley and witnessing these vast Spiritual Herb fields, their eyes lit up with green envy.
If not for the over two thousand cultivators in the valley closely watching, they might have rushed into the spirit fields to fight for them.
For the purchasing needs of Qi Cultivation and Foundation Building stage cultivators, Wang Hong entrusted Yin Ze to handle them. He had no intention of keeping the Spiritual Herbs from Mountain Valley and was eager to sell them at a high price, which suited his purpose perfectly.
The trade conditions still favored refining materials. Wang Hong had an urgent need for such materials and intended to use them to craft more medium-sized Flying Boats.
Currently, two thousand people were crammed into three Flying Boats, making them utterly crowded and lacking combat capability.
They would undoubtedly need to move again in the future, and having a few more Flying Boats would prove highly convenient.
Furthermore, the Spirit Energy Cannon he had developed himself had already succeeded. He needed to refine several Spirit Energy Cannons to install on the Flying Boats, enhancing their combat capabilities.
