Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 48: Higher Spiritual Planting

"These are just a few of my trees!

In fact, these trees have all reached the end of their lifespan. So instead of letting them bear fruit, I allowed them to bloom their flowers to slow down their aging

There is a small chance to awaken a spiritual inspiration, but their real purpose is just to make my own yard a bit more appealing."

"They have reached the limit of their age? Senior brother, how is this possible?

The lifespan of trees is ten times that of a cultivator, or even more!"

Fu Xian asked in shock, not understanding how this was possible. At the third stage, cultivators usually extend their lifespan from 300 years to 1.000 years. Because of his special cultivation art, his lifespan is approximately at 1.500 years.

Even then, a third stage tree’s lifespan stars at 10.000 years!

"Haha, this is a secret of spiritual planting!" Puyan said mysteriously.

With a wave of his hand, he sent away the attendant and walked besides Fu Xian down another path.

Once he was sure there was no one who could hear him, he answered "In the first higher stage, cultivators generally grow spiritual plants by providing the best environment. Even so-called hastening spells actually just improve the efficiency at which the spiritual plant absorbs spiritual power.

But this method has a limit. It’s not to say there are no advantages, but this is barely a difference between a wild growing plant and a carefully crown plant.

Starting from the second higher stage, the required time for a plant to mature is too high.

Look at these peach trees for example," Puyan pointed at the peach trees that started appearing all around at some point "They are second-grade peach trees born from a third-grade peach tree.

You know how long the whole cycle would take?

A plant reaches maturity after 10% of their lifespan. That’s one thousand years! One thousand!

Junior brother, I don’t need to tell you how outrageous that is.

This peach tree blooms every three hundred years, peaches grow after another, and finally mature after a final three hundred years.

To get a batch of peaches, it takes nine hundred years!

No matter how many peaches we get from that batch, this is too long.

So from the second higher stage, we take one step further.

The lifespan of the plants are directly used to speed up their maturing and blooming. The consequence is that they die a lot faster. There are more consequences, such as the plant and fruits being of lower quality, early death, brickle foundation, etc.

Generally, at this stage, wild plants are of a higher quality than grown plants like those of ours.

Only larger organisations still grow plants naturally. Even so, they still focus on growing them quickly and merely grow those others naturally as a reference to the fast grown plants.

The goal all spiritual planters in the second higher stage, that is, Origin Light and Spiritual Core planters, is to enhance the fast grown plants to the point of reaching the same quality as carefully grown plants.

Actually, rather than this, it’s a question of efficiency and price.

For example, if I truly put in all my effort, I could grow a carefully planted third-grade fruit tree in only a few years. But the resources used would be nearly enough to grow a low-quality fourth-grade fruit tree.

Anyways, there are many solutions to an issue, but there are even more issues after the solution.

Who knows? Maybe in one of the larger organisations specialising in spiritual planting has already reached a point where it’s cheap to produce them and they simply hide it and say it’s their old foundation?

People like me don’t have the right to delve into these things too much.

The world of spiritual planting is truly wonderous, I hope you could see it as well as I do.

So, junior brother, you listened to me plappering so much about these things.

But you must have a reason to visit! Just tell me and I might be able to help you."

Fu Xian smiled delighted when he heard this, but he first bowed "Senior brother, your teachings have given me a lot of inspiration!"

"Oh this, this is just some talk. What you told elder sister, heh, that was helpful. I’ve already started thinking of what you said.

But don’t worry about these. They are all minor matters that can be talked about at length later.

You just tell me what you need!"

Fu Xian didn’t beat around the bush and told the truth "Senior brother, it’s like this.

In the past month I have been quite busy, but now that I finally settled down, I realised that my courtyard is truly too small. I wanted to expand it to the limit of what I may take, which is a thousand square metres.

Since you said the eldest senior sister was the construction director of our neighbourhood, I was thinking of whether you could introduce me to her."

"Ah so it’s this? This small matter, you could’ve just went there.

After the last meeting, we have talked with her about you and told her to treat you kindly.

Haha, you don’t need to worry about this.

But since you already came here, I might as well take you.

You should know, your eldest senior sister is the person second most likely to advance to the fifth stage in our small neighbourhood.

It’s because of this that our neighbourhood is rather empty!

If she wasn’t so close to breaking through, senior Ruan would be inviting many more members.

But in that case, it would require her work.

He would rather delay the short term development rather than delay the advancement of eldest senior sister!"

"Eldest senior sister is so powerful? Then, maybe I shouldn’t go and ask about this matter..."

"No no, no need to worry. She can still deal with these small things. But if a fourth-stage cultivator were to enter, that would be a troublesome matter. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

While third-stage cultivators only have a thousand square metres, fourth-stage cultivators have ten thousand. At that point, you can’t just spread the courtyard, you will have to shrink it and do many other things.

That would be a troublesome and time-consuming matter.

But for you, this is simply a bit of work. She probably won’t even do anything herself besides creating the general outline of your courtyard."
