"One, two, three... forty-seven!!"

Inside the Qiankun Space, Guo Xuecai's expression turned peculiar as he counted forty-seven Thunder Lingzhi.

It wasn't shock or greed or anything like that.

It was more of a feeling of why he hadn't encountered such a situation earlier.

"Old Guo? Is there a problem?" Lin Qianxuan asked as he looked at the dazed Guo Xuecai.

"No problem, they all look great. How many Spirit Crystals did you use in total?" Guo Xuecai asked.

"All of this altogether cost me close to two hundred thousand or more." Lin Qianxuan replied.

On average, each Thunder Lingzhi consumes about four thousand Spirit Crystals, which indeed makes them quite challenging to sustain.

"In an environment rich with Spiritual Energy, you shouldn't need that many, but since you purely relied on Spirit Crystals to provide Spiritual Energy, the amount adds up. Mainly, it's the Dragon Saliva that broke its absorption and growth limits. Generally, it's impossible to grow big in one bite; plants grow very slowly, and a single tree usually takes decades, if not centuries. Spirit Plants are no different. For you to cultivate so many in just two short months is indeed rare. If I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have wasted decades of effort. Talent is just so..."

Guo Xuecai rambled on, full of emotion.

Lin Qianxuan could understand.

Back then, when he realized so many geniuses existed in this world, he felt the same way.

Questions that took him years or even a decade to grapple with could be solved by geniuses after considering them for just a few minutes.

"Old Guo, why don't you pick a few to take with you?" Lin Qianxuan suggested.

"I'll take two, and consider them bought for a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals each." Guo Xuecai replied.

"Consider it a gift from me." Lin Qianxuan said with a wave of his hand.

Guo Xuecai responded, "Let's not break the rules; I might need you to help cultivate in the future. You might see me offering such a high price, but I'm actually making a profit. You have no idea of the value of these things you cultivate. This millennium-grade medicinal plant could host a solo auction in a small market in the Spirit Qi World. When refined into pills, it could extend life by decades and possibly lead to the comprehension of some Divine Techniques. Should they know you possess such a little green bottle, they'd likely suppress you just to keep you as their foundation..."

"Little green bottle?" Lin Qianxuan asked, puzzled.

Guo Xuecai sighed and explained, "It's annoying having a generation gap. It's like the golden finger from the retro cultivation novels from around ten years ago. It could generate a kind of Spiritual Liquid to make plants grow and mature overnight. Cultivating a millennium Spirit Plant would only take a day or two. It was adapted into an anime seven or eight years ago, but the technology back then wasn't up to par—character expressions lacked detail, and the models weren't as good compared to AI today."

"I see." Lin Qianxuan nodded.

With that description, it all made sense to him.

According to Guo Xuecai, during the time when those novels and anime were hot, he was likely still in school, diligently studying. Considering his situation, he truly didn't have the leisure to watch series.

Back then, he was contemplating post-graduation job prospects.

"I'll take this one, and this one as well."

After finishing his sentence, a bluish-grey sword flew out from Guo Xuecai's waist, swiftly slicing off two Lingzhi, which were then magically whisked into his small pouch.

"Old Guo, is this a Qiankun Bag?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"In the Spirit Qi World, it's called a Storage Bag, a rather high-end Spiritual Artifact. Of course, you can call it a Qiankun Bag, Space Bag, or Storage Pouch, just like in the novels." Guo Xuecai replied, then continued, "I've left the Spirit Crystals here!"

"Alright." Lin Qianxuan nodded.

Guo Xuecai nodded, waving his hand and tossing out two Large Jade Boxes.

One box contained a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, with some simple Spiritual Patterns inscribed to prevent the Spiritual Energy from leaking out.

It seemed to be something made in the Spirit Qi World specifically for storing Spirit Crystals.

After completing the transaction, Guo Xuecai took another look at those lush Spirit Plants in the distance.

There were vines, trees, and grasses, haphazardly planted by Lin Qianxuan, yet they grew surprisingly well, even better than what Guo Xuecai had cultivated. This bothered him as a research person.

It didn't come as a blow; it was purely his obsessive-compulsive disorder acting up.

The more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he decided not to look and directly left Lin Qianxuan's Qiankun Space.

After trading with Guo Xuecai, Lin Qianxuan sought out Wei Zhi.

"I've got some Spirit Fruits and other items. Are you interested?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"How many do you have?" Wei Zhi asked.

"About ten times more than last time, and it's not just the kind that enhances Qi and Blood. There are lots of other things, like Spirit Grass and such," Lin Qianxuan said, quoting a relatively conservative number.

"Fifty tons?"

Wei Zhi felt like he was dreaming.

It's only been a few days, hasn't it?

Well, he did cross a dimension.

But it can't be that exaggerated, right?

These aren't ordinary fruits.

These are Spirit Plants!

Who doesn't know how hard they are to grow, taking years to bloom and fruit?

Yet here with Lin Qianxuan, they seem easier to cultivate than ordinary fruits and vegetables.

"We may not be able to take them all, but we can help you find buyers." Wei Zhi said.

"That works." Lin Qianxuan nodded.

"I'll go find someone for you right away."

Wei Zhi appeared exceedingly eager and immediately began making phone calls.

Lin Qianxuan rarely engaged with people from the Otherworld Bureau outside of chat groups, so he didn't know many of them.

Wei Zhi, however, was fairly well-acquainted in official circles, accepted everywhere.

After several phone calls, he pulled together a group chat.

Lin Qianxuan was also added to it.

The members were mostly local Otherworld Bureau higher-ups with resources.

As for the pricing, Lin Qianxuan didn't make exorbitant demands; he hoped for long-term cooperation.

He was even willing to sell at a hundred Spirit Crystals per pound and offered free shipping.

Live picking could be done, except for his Thunder Lingzhi. For those low-tier Spirit Plants, it was a free-for-all, like a clearance sale.

First come, first served, Lin Qianxuan even shot a video in the Qiankun Space to share in the chat group.

With his current strength, he didn't need to hide having such a farming space.

Besides, is the space really the crucial factor?

The key is his Dragon Bloodline!

Such cheap Spirit Fruits and Spirit Grasses, the group quickly scrambled for them.

Wei Zhi also made a call to his superiors, asking for some Spirit Crystals to buy ten thousand jin from Lin Qianxuan.

Soon they completed the distribution.

The first choice was the Longjiang City area, followed by those who placed orders in the group.

Lin Qianxuan delivered the goods to the doorstep anyway.

As long as it was within the country, he could arrive within half an hour.

Before four in the afternoon, he had sold off sixty percent of the mature Spirit Plants in the Qiankun Space.

That's right, sixty percent.

The quantity he mentioned was rather conservative.

Then he contacted Wang Yuancai in Ruantang Province.

Ruantang Province didn't have Spirit Crystal mines, and Lin Qianxuan wasn't particularly interested in other mundane resources since he could directly use All Things Generation.

However, since he had some personal ties with Wang Yuancai, he still sold some to him at a low price, making Wang Yuancai feel a bit embarrassed.

Lin Qianxuan was quite open-minded about it.

As of now, he had a certain demand for Spirit Crystals.

If he wasn't short on Spirit Crystals and the productivity was sufficient, he would have no problem distributing them for free.

After this batch, the Spirit Crystals that Lin Qianxuan almost ran out of suddenly surged to the million level.

Apart from Lin Qianxuan, which Loose Cultivator could be so wealthy?

Not right, strictly speaking, Lin Qianxuan couldn't be considered a Loose Cultivator either.

According to the divisions in novels, he was considered the top Tributor within the largest sect power in the region.

He didn't have many obligations, but a lot of benefits.

He could even ask for the sect's help at critical times.

Of course, overall, it was still a mutually beneficial relationship.

But for an average Loose Cultivator, they didn't even have the ability to access such channels, and even if they had goods, it would probably be hard to distribute them safely.

Despite so many Spirit Crystals in hand.

Lin Qianxuan didn't feel there were many.

Because he was about to break through soon.

For Core Formation, considering the transformation from a liquid to a solid state, the amount of Spiritual Power his middle dantian could hold ten or twenty times wouldn't be too much.

Right now, fully replenishing Spiritual Power after consumption would require at least five hundred thousand Spirit Crystals.

In other words, by then, the ten million Spirit Crystals might not be enough for him to cultivate to the peak of Core Formation.

Good talent also means a large resource consumption!

This was the joy of having troubles.

Time came to October 22nd, in the evening.

Lin Qianxuan felt his Essence Qi, spirit, and energy had reached their perfect state, so he prepared to undergo Core Formation.

Core Formation wasn't achieved in one go.

Nor was it directly compressing Spiritual Power into a pill to break through.

It required a high combination of Spiritual Power and spirit, gathering Essence Qi, spirit, and energy to form a Pill Core.

With the Pill Core present, even if Spiritual Power was exhausted, Dao Practice wouldn't recede.

One could still maintain the Core Formation realm.

And as one practiced, the strengthening effect of Spiritual Power on oneself would be even stronger.

For stability, Lin Qianxuan directly entered the Qiankun Space and surrounded himself with a large number of Spirit Crystals.

He then operated the Core Formation Technique of the "Spirit Absorption Technique," causing the Sea of Spiritual Essence in his middle dantian to accelerate, and injected Essence Qi, spirit, and energy continuously into the core vortex.

After dozens of minutes, a speck of crimson Spiritual Light appeared within.

If magnified, it would reveal a semi-transparent little bead formed from the combination of spirit and Spiritual Qi.

This was the so-called Pill Core.

Its function was to continuously absorb and transform other Spiritual Power into solid form based on this.

After condensing the Pill Core, Lin Qianxuan's middle dantian's Sea of Spiritual Essence began to contract rapidly, as a large amount of Spiritual Power was absorbed and transformed by the Pill Core. In just two hours, the Spiritual Power that filled the middle dantian had vanished.

In its place was an elixir-like red crystalline pill, with over ninety percent of the middle dantian emptied.

Lin Qianxuan slowly opened his eyes, a red spark flashing across them.

In some mysterious way, he felt something seemed to be surging out of his body.

Yet it still lacked some nourishment, as it had not yet sprouted.

"Is this considered a breakthrough?"

Lin Qianxuan didn't have much of a sense of it, and after thinking for a while, he decided to try it himself.

Arriving in the Qiankun Space, he leaped up, focused his mind, let Spiritual Power circulate, and Spirit Art already unfolded.

Soon a thrust formed behind him, directly propelling him forward forcefully.

Bang~!

The sound of breaking through the air left Lin Qianxuan slightly surprised.

"Can the mere strength of Spiritual Power achieve such an effect? What if I add Water Manipulation and Divine Energy?"

Lin Qianxuan's abilities could be integrated to exert force; previously, he only tried Water Manipulation with Divine Energy explosion, but adding Spiritual Power had little effect due to low quality.

Now the Spiritual Power might just be enough.

A stream of water enveloped his body, Divine Energy burst at his feet, and Spiritual Power turned into an invisible wind wrapping around him...

Bang~! Boom boom boom~!

Under the triple overlay, in an instant, Lin Qianxuan's figure shot out, where he passed, the violent airwaves split the earth's soil, creating a deep trench from the shock wave.
