But if you look closely, even if they are both top-quality, there are differences.

For these twenty-nine spiritual plants, the second-level best is the end of their growth and a sign of complete maturity.

When they reach the second level of the best, even if they are given more soul marrow, it will not allow them to accumulate any more, it is just a pure waste.

This is also the reason why he was so "stingy" when he used the soul marrow for the last time, almost giving it just enough to fully mature them.

Among the twenty-nine spiritual plants, there were eighteen second-level spiritual herbs, which were second-grade elixirs. Meng Zhou took them out of the ground complete with their roots and put them into the spirit-sealing box.

Among the other eleven spiritual plants, there are six spiritual fruit trees. On each spiritual fruit tree, there are various spiritual fruits hanging, with different colors, more or less quantity, some big and some small.

Meng Zhou picked all the ripe spiritual fruits and put them into the spiritual sealing box.

He looked at the last five remaining spiritual plants.

Among these five spiritual plants, there are three trees.

One of them is the steel-scaled tree that Meng Zhou used to make the moon-blade flying sword. It is a straight tree with a pestle on the ground supporting the sky, like a sword or a halberd.

There is also a pine tree and a cypress tree.

There are also two spiritual bamboos of different varieties, one of which is the voiceless spiritual bamboo, which is most suitable for making second-level musical instruments such as flutes and Xiaos.

The other one is purple-gold in color. Although it belongs to the wood genus, it has the same qualities as the steel scale wood. It has the characteristics of a metal spiritual material and has an ultimate sharp edge. It is most suitable for making flying swords, flying needles, and flying knives.

Class of magic weapon.

Meng Zhou's consciousness lingered on these spiritual plants for a while, but he did not continue to deal with them, but returned to the quiet room.

Just because the negative energy in his body has been completely emptied, he is about to start retreating.

No matter what you do, retreat and practice come first.

The dark green gourd with 42 drops of life essence remaining was put back into his dantian.

…

Early morning on the third day of August.

Cultivation progress +20, foundation building eight levels 130/1000.

After finishing the retreat and spending some time to deal with other chores, Meng Zhou collected all three spiritual planting trees and two spiritual bamboos.

It did not divide them into parts, but collected them whole. In order to avoid the leakage of spirituality and the degradation of quality, he sacrificed another Nakong gourd.

This is also the third one he has made for sacrifice. It is specially used. One is used to store the marrow of life, and the other is used as an external Dantian to store the spiritual energy transformed by qi and blood.

This gourd is specially used to store all kinds of high-quality spiritual materials. Not only did he transfer these five spiritual plants, including other spiritual medicines, herbs, and fruits into it, but also other items that may have deteriorated in quality due to spiritual leakage.

What he transferred into it included a large amount of poisons purchased, as well as monster meat, etc.

After this treatment, the courtyard that originally seemed a bit compact suddenly seemed a bit empty.

Of the thirty top-quality spiritual plants that were originally planted, except for six spiritual fruit trees that had already been harvested, all the others were put into the Nakong gourd.

If these six spiritual fruit trees are not infused with spiritual marrow, the next time they bear fruit, it will take as little as five or six years and as long as eight or nine years of waiting.

Meng Zhou thought for a while, but did not continue to use the soul marrow to ripen them.

After these spiritual plants matured, in addition to harvesting various types of spiritual medicines and spiritual plants, he also harvested a large number of spiritual seeds.

But Meng Zhou didn't plan to continue cultivating it, he planned to accumulate the soul marrow.

As long as the amount of spiritual marrow is sufficient, any spiritual plant he wants can be cultivated at any time, and it does not take much time from the spiritual plant to full maturity.

Simple and hassle-free, no need to worry about it.

"We can think of ways to collect more high-quality spiritual seeds."

After dealing with these second-level top-grade spiritual plants, Meng Zhou felt much more relaxed.

In my soul, I felt a lightness that a heavy burden had been lifted.

…

At noon on the fourth day of the lunar month, the magic of wood and stone tracking completed the final accumulation of the master realm, and advanced from the master to perfection.

Because the ever-changing spirit body is complete, after this spell is completed, its true form will not change in any particular way in the soul pool, nor will it be attracted by the blood and body.

But Meng Zhou, who was immersed in perfect enlightenment, did not end his cultivation.

At this moment, his figure was completely integrated into a second-level top-grade spiritual fruit tree.

Sometimes, he would even let his body "sink" into the soil underground.

Wood and stone are invisible. Practitioners can not only blend their bodies into trees and rocks, but also into soil.

Meng Zhou understood many things that were consistent with the Earth Escape Technique.

Therefore, in this back-and-forth switching, the newly perfected technique of wood and stone concealment greatly overlapped with the earth escape technique that Meng Zhou had long understood and mastered.

The "truth" they each reveal has a large overlap.

Meng Zhou just switched back and forth over and over again.

At a certain moment, the inspiration that seemed to have existed in a corner of his heart for a long time was finally inspired.

When he merged into this spiritual fruit tree from the ground again, he suddenly felt the existence of the other five spiritual fruit trees in the courtyard.

Not only that, other spiritual plants in the courtyard also clearly appeared in his induction.

With a slight thought in Meng Zhou's mind, he stepped towards the spiritual fruit tree he sensed.

The next moment, he found that he had changed his "residence", his heart moved, and his body walked out of the spiritual fruit tree.

He looked at the spiritual fruit tree behind him, and then at another spiritual fruit tree in the distance, which was also the spiritual fruit tree he initially chose to fuse with.

"Successful!" Meng Zhou, who was joyful in his heart, whispered to himself softly.

He didn't stop, stepped back and disappeared into the trunk of the spiritual fruit tree again.

The next moment, his figure appeared on the top of another spiritual fruit tree in the distance. There were no limbs or torso, and only a head poked out from between the branches.

Then, as if he were diving, he put his head back into the tree, and his figure disappeared from the spiritual fruit tree again.

When he reappeared, his figure had merged with the Qingling tea tree in front of the elegant house.

The courtyard is silent and deserted.

But at a level that is difficult to capture with spiritual consciousness, there is a faint spirituality jumping and flowing on the spiritual plants.

Meng Zhou, who finally had enough fun, ended his wandering around the spiritual plants. When he reappeared, a faint spirituality emerged from the roots of a spiritual lotus in the pond. His figure stood as if he had no weight at all.

On top of a huge lotus leaf.

"Wood Escape Technique Begins 20/1000"

Unknowingly, he had already mastered the wood escape technique that he had just started using.

However, Meng Zhou did not continue to practice the Wood Escape Technique, but started practicing the "Eye Sword Technique" according to the original plan.

It is worth mentioning that although the cultivation of Wood and Stone Hidden Trace is simpler, the experience gained per unit time can easily reach the upper limit, even if it can provide more mana, it is useless.

Because more abundant mana for this spell only makes the spell last longer.

In comparison, although the practice of eye swordsmanship is more difficult, not only mana and soul must be consumed when performing it.

And to gain the same experience as Wood and Stone Hidden Trace, it will consume more mana.

But when it comes to leveling up, it has one advantage over Wood and Stone's Stealth, that is, it can increase the output of mana and soul, increase the power of spells, and gain more experience rewards per unit time.

The only disadvantage is that more monster meat needs to be burned per unit of time.

Its efficiency is so fast, and the amount of experience gained every day, although it has not reached the level of the original training of Angry Ape Hegemony, it is far beyond the wood and stone hidden traces.

The swordsmanship that gains 5,000 experience points every day, even though the experience required for level advancement is higher than that of Wood and Stone's Hidden Trace, the daily progress is still higher than that of Wood and Stone's Hidden Trace.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, the swordsmanship has completed the accumulation of introductory and first-level skills and advanced to Xiaoxing.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the swordsmanship is promoted from Xiao Cheng to Dacheng.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, this technique was promoted to master.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, this technique was promoted to master.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, when Meng Zhou finished this ten-day practice and prepared to go into seclusion.

"Master Swordsmanship 7000/24000"

…

August 16th, night.

The swordsmanship has completed the accumulation of master level and advanced to perfection.

Just when the Eye Sword Technique reaches perfection, the true form of the Eye Sword Technique appears in the Soul Pond of the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

They were a pair of eyes that seemed ordinary, but actually contained sharp sword light.

And at the moment when this strange true form appeared, a strange suction force came from the Qi, blood, body, Dantian meridians, and even the sea of ​​consciousness.

Finally, this true form disappeared from the soul pool and transformed into the eyes.

A strange feeling arose in Meng Zhou's heart.
