Chapter 1142 Fungus Gathering Spirit Cauldron
In the Central Ancestral Human Stronghold, he originally wanted to collect the refining method of the Dao Pool.
Unfortunately, before he could do anything, he was teleported back to the Great Wilderness Realm.
Although he doesn't have a small avenue pond, he has a fungal spirit gathering cauldron.
However, this fungus spirit gathering cauldron is too small and can only plant one spore.
"For now, we can only try it out with the Fungus Soul Gathering Cauldron."
Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, calmed his inner tension and expectation, and carefully picked up the Fungus Gathering Spirit Cauldron.
Although this tripod is small, it is exquisitely crafted. It is covered with intricate spirit-gathering fungus patterns, and it faintly gleams with a mysterious luster in the dim light.
He gently opened the lid of the tripod, and a faint scent of spiritual earth wafted in his face.
There is a small handful of spiritual soil at the bottom of the Fungus Spirit Gathering Cauldron.
Zhang Xuan picked up a fungal medicine seed from the specially made spiritual spore storage box using a thin thread condensed by spiritual power.
This fungal medicinal seed was also bought by him in the market. It had been mixed with mulberry juice and mud and soaked in running water, so it could be planted directly.
This fungal medicine seed is wrapped in filaments, like a suspended golden star, emitting a faint light.
Zhang Xuan slowly placed the spores into the cauldron, and every movement was slow and steady.
Next, Zhang Xuan used the Heart of the Immortal Tree to observe the growth of the fungal medicinal species.
At first, there was silence in the cauldron, but Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry. He knew very well that cultivating fungal elixirs was a long process that required great patience and perseverance.
Finally, on the third day, when Zhang Xuan probed into the cauldron again, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the fungal medicinal seed had begun to germinate.
An extremely fine white mycelium emerges from the spores, like the first cry of a newborn baby, announcing the beginning of life.
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Henry Zhang’s eyes: “Even if there is no small avenue pool, this fungus gathering spirit cauldron can be used to cultivate fungal spiritual medicine.”
This is the first step to success.
However, he also learned through the Heart of the Immortal Tree that the growing fungal elixir was "very hungry".
He was familiar with the Dao Fungus Cultivation Manual, so he naturally knew that the cultivation of fungal elixirs was not nourished by spiritual feces, but by a special fungal pattern produced in the fungal veins.
He didn't have any.
He had no choice but to take out half a ball of original fungal patterns from the Taiqing Creation Map again and integrate it into the Fungus Spirit Gathering Cauldron.
As soon as the original fungal pattern entered the cauldron, it spread out into virtual fungal patterns and was absorbed by the fungal elixir.
The fungal elixir conveyed a feeling of satisfaction to Henry Zhang.
"It's not worth it!" Zhang Xuan sighed.
To refine this half group of original fungal patterns in the Taiqing Creation Diagram, a complete second-level fungal elixir is needed.
He used this half ball of original fungal patterns as fertilizer and let the second-level fungal medicine absorb it again. At most, he could cultivate one second-level fungal medicine, and there was still a lot of loss in the process.
After going around in circles, isn’t this a pure loss?
This is only a second-level fungal elixir. If he wants to cultivate a fifth-level or higher fungal elixir.
Even if all the original fungal patterns in the Taiqing Creation Map were taken out, it would not be enough.
He dripped a few drops of third-level monster blood onto the fungus spirit gathering cauldron.
The Fungal Giant Cauldron did not respond.
"Can't it absorb flesh and blood and transform them into fungal patterns? Why is there no reaction?" Zhang Xuan wondered.
He then dripped a few drops of the second-level monster's blood onto the fungus spirit gathering cauldron.
The fungal patterns on the fungal spirit gathering cauldron squirmed, slowly absorbing the drops of second-level monster blood, transforming them into virtual fungal patterns, and injecting them into the fungal elixir.
Compared to absorbing the original fungal patterns, the speed at which the Soul Gathering Cauldron transforms the blood of the second-level monster is very slow.
It can only barely provide the growth needs of the second-level fungal elixir.
It is not enough to grow third-turn fungal elixirs, let alone use the Fungal Spirit Gathering Cauldron to grow fifth-turn fungal elixirs or above.
"If you want to cultivate high-level fungal elixirs, you still need a Avenue Pond."
The Dao Pond is a more grand and mysterious existence.
In the central ancestral vein, the Avenue Pond is a holy place that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and breeds rare spiritual plants.
Countless spiritual plants thrive under the nourishment of the Avenue Pond, providing the cultivators with key resources to improve their strength.
Although Zhang Xuan had never personally practiced the mechanism of growing fungal elixirs in the Avenue Pond, he knew a thing or two from the records in ancient books.
The Avenue Pool uses the body of a true immortal as nourishment, relies on the powerful fungal spiritual power and the unique spiritual power circulation system, and provides a continuous supply of energy and a perfect growth environment for the growth of fungal spiritual medicines.
Zhang Xuan knew very well that although the Fungus Spirit Gathering Cauldron and the Avenue Pond were completely different in size, one was small and exquisite, and the other was magnificent, the mechanisms by which they cultivated fungal spiritual medicines were similar.
Both can convert flesh and blood energy into fungal patterns needed for the growth of fungal elixirs.
Zhang Xuan's eyes moved back and forth between the Fungus Gathering Spirit Cauldron and the Ancient Mycelium.
"At present, we can only deduce the method of refining a miniature avenue pool through the Fungus Soul Gathering Cauldron."
Zhang Xuan first began to carefully study the structure of the Fungus Ju Ju Ling Ding and the fungal patterns on it.
He mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and carefully injected it into the cauldron, observing the flow path and change pattern of the spiritual energy in the cauldron.
He discovered that the fungal patterns on the cauldron were like precise valves that could control the input, output, and conversion of spiritual energy.
When spiritual essence is injected into the cauldron, it will flow between the runes in a specific order and manner, forming a stable energy circulation system, providing a continuous supply of nutrients for the growth of fungal spiritual medicines.
In order to better understand the flow patterns of the fungal veins on the Fungus Gathering Spirit Cauldron, Zhang Xuan used the Tianshu Famu.
Under the gaze of Tianshu Famu, the energy flow within the Fungus Spirit Gathering Cauldron became clearly visible, and the function of each rune and the energy conversion process were all within his sight.
He discovered that during the transformation process, the energy inside the cauldron would interact with the special material on the wall of the cauldron, producing a special fungal pattern fluctuation.
This fluctuation can connect with the mycelium on the fungal elixir and promote its growth.
In addition to observing the Fungus Spirit Gathering Cauldron, Zhang Xuan also referred to a large number of records about the Dao Pond in ancient books, looking for the secrets of the Dao Pond from those yellowed pages.
It is recorded in classics that the Dao Pool releases the Dao energy in the body of a True Immortal through special formations and fungal patterns.
In order to refine the Great Dao Pool, in addition to the body of a true immortal, a variety of rare materials are also needed.
The Avenue Pond forms a natural formation that can continuously purify and replenish the energy within the pool, using the fungal veins as the hub to diffuse the energy out.
Zhang Xuan compared and analyzed the fungal pattern circulation system of the Fungus Gathering Spirit Cauldron with the energy circulation array of the Avenue Pond and found that there are similarities between them.
The Fungus Spirit Gathering Cauldron uses the fungus spirit wood as its body to simulate the operating array of the Avenue Pond, realizing the circulation and transformation of energy.
However, the natural array patterns generated by the Avenue Pool were estimated to be at the ninth or even tenth level, which was beyond his understanding, let alone simulation and refining.
Only the special fungus spirit trees growing on the Avenue Pond regard the Avenue Pond as the mother of heaven and earth. Under the influence of the Avenue Pond, they accidentally simulated part of the veins of its great formation circulation and generated this fungus spirit gathering cauldron.
