"Mm mm! I understand!" Xiao Shou felt slightly ashamed and then asked in a somewhat flattering tone, "Young’er, besides what you said, what other effects does this spirit spring milk have?"

"What is Young’er? Master, do not call me that. I am getting goosebumps." Fu Young muttered in dissatisfaction before continuing, "Besides those effects, if you can find spirit soil, it can also be used to cultivate spiritual plants. If spiritual plants are grown in spirit soil and watered daily with spirit spring milk, their growth can be greatly accelerated."

"For example, if first-grade spirit soil is used to plant first-grade hundred-year spiritual herbs, then after planting the seeds, you only need to drip nine drops of spirit spring milk every day, and they will mature in nine days. If second-grade spirit soil is used to plant second-grade thousand-year spiritual herbs, then after planting the seeds, you only need to water them with a small jade bottle of spirit spring milk every day, and they will mature in ninety days. The same principle applies for higher grades. Unfortunately, spirit soil in our world is even rarer than spirit springs, and all of it is controlled by major sects and aristocratic families."

Fu Young’s words were like a mist being swept away, opening a tightly closed door in Xiao Shou’s mind and sparking countless ideas.

Spirit spring milk was precious and rare, but as long as there were enough high-grade spirit stones, soaking in it daily for cultivation was no longer just a dream.

Others might not have spirit soil, but he could fuse it himself.

Even though his Absolute Fusion ability was currently only at Tier 4 and could only produce up to Tier 4 spirit soil.

According to Fu Young’s description, first-grade corresponds to hundred-year, second-grade to thousand-year, third-grade to ten-thousand-year, and fourth-grade to one-hundred-thousand-year.

Even if he could not compare to the Heroine Xiao Ran in the novel who had access to the Heavenly Orb that could grow all spiritual plants below the immortal level, he would still have more than enough to cultivate suitable medicinal herbs for the cultivation stage.

If he could also learn alchemy...

Xiao Shou suddenly realized that his luck these past two days had been extremely good.

Could it be that Fu Young’s fortune alone was enough to raise his own fortune to such a level?

This thought flashed by and Xiao Shou could not help but smile smugly. He deliberately ignored Fu Young’s earlier complaint and said loudly, "Haha, Young’er, others may lack spirit soil, but I do not. I once obtained a fortunate opportunity, and I happen to have spirit soil from first-grade all the way to fourth-grade. Also, the spirit vein storage here is beyond your imagination. If it is only for our master and disciple to cultivate, soaking once a day for each of us is more than enough. This spring is very deep too, over a hundred meters!"

Of course, spirit soil was something he was lying about.

But the depth of the spirit spring was real.

When he excavated the spirit vein, while digging out high-grade spirit stones, he had almost broken into the spirit spring.

If he had not noticed that the spirit stone wall was extremely damp and cold, he might have accidentally taken a bath inside it.

At that time, he had already reached more than one hundred and sixty meters deep into the mountain belly.

Even he himself was not sure how deep the spring source was.

It might even be level with the area several hundred meters below where the top-grade spirit stones were located.

Even so, Xiao Shou had already made up his mind.

Later, after he fused all the high-grade spirit stones into top-grade spirit stones, he would fill the bottom of the spring to continuously replenish the spirit spring milk.

After all, the effects of this spirit spring milk were far too great.

Although it was not as powerful as the immortal spring inside the Heavenly Orb that could cleanse the body into a flawless state, in the cultivation world, even Nascent Soul cultivators would probably not be willing to use it as bathwater.

Fu Young was completely stunned after hearing this. He took several deep breaths before saying, "Let us put the spirit soil aside for now. Master, when you say using spirit spring milk for bathing, do you mean using the undiluted spirit spring milk?"

"Is there a problem?" Xiao Shou asked a little guiltily.

Fu Young immediately exploded in frustration. "A big problem! The spirit energy contained in spirit spring milk is extremely dense. Let alone Qi Refining cultivators, even Golden Core cultivators would explode and die if they soaked in it directly. Only cultivators above the Deity Transformation stage can directly bathe in the undiluted liquid. For Qi Refining cultivators it must be diluted ten thousand times, for Foundation Establishment a thousand times, for Golden Core a hundred times, for Nascent Soul ten times..."

As he spoke, Fu Young grew more and more exasperated, feeling like he was about to lose his mind.

He felt like he was being defeated by his completely ignorant master.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Shou gave an awkward laugh, then took out a gourd-shaped artifact and tossed it to Fu Young while walking out of the stone chamber.

"I know, I know, dilute it, right? I will go modify two bathing rooms into cultivation rooms. This is a water storage artifact, the Endless Gourd. Once filled, it can hold one ton of water. From now on, the task of fetching water every day is yours."

"Master..." Fu Young sighed helplessly as he caught the water storage artifact.

By the time he looked up again, Xiao Shou had already left the stone chamber. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Just as he was about to put the Endless Gourd into his storage sachet, his gaze casually swept across it and he noticed a tiny engraving on the corner of the artifact: a Heavenly Void Sect mark.

The mark was extremely small.

If not for the fact that the Ao family transmission elder had once taught him common knowledge about traveling outside and specifically explained how to identify major sect markings, he would not have noticed it at all.
