Translator: 549690339
A medicine garden is different from a spirit field, as it doesn’t require a perfectly flat surface.
In fact, it can be created even in the rugged mountains and forests, needing less space than a spirit field.
Therefore, the mountain valley that He Song was in naturally became an ideal place to build ten medicine gardens.
The main reasons were
that the valley was large and well concealed.
From the outside, it was inconspicuous.
It only required setting up a Miniature Spirit-Gathering Array, a Smoke Array, a Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array, and a Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array in the valley.
Doing so would completely envelop the valley, concealing the medicine gardens and keeping them from being discovered by others.
This would also allow the gardens to resonate with the hidden cave mansions nearby.
In case any unforeseen circumstances occurred in the future, He Song could obtain substantial benefits from these ten gardens after arriving at this location.
After scouting the area, He Song quickly began to work.
First,
he set up the Smoke Array.
After arranging a Smoke Array in the center of the valley, He Song then set up a Miniature Spirit-Gathering Array, a Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array, and a Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array.
Once all four Arrays were in place, He Song quickly manipulated them to cover the entire valley.
Feeling the spirit Qi around him becoming increasingly dense, He Song used his mana to create medicine gardens in the valley.
One by one, the medicine gardens took shape under He Song’s guidance. The once lush and green valley soon became well-organized.
When the ten gardens were neatly arranged in the valley, He Song finally stopped working.
However, he did not proceed in sowing Ling Medicine Seeds into the medicine gardens just yet.
Although the Miniature Spirit-Gathering Array had already begun to take effect, and the spirit Qi in the valley was becoming richer rapidly,
transforming ordinary soil into spirit soil still required a certain amount of time.
With the concentration of spirit Qi gathered by the Miniature Spirit-Gathering Array, this process took less time than when He Song used the even smaller Spirit-Gathering Arrays.
However, it still required several months to transform the ordinary soil into spirit soil, suitable for planting spirit medicine.
For the upcoming months,
He Song did not plan to idle away his time in the valley.
Instead, he quickly took out his prepared puppet-making materials and began refining spirit puppets in the valley.
The puppet-refining this time was not meant to repair He Song’s previous Four Great Spirit Puppets,
but to use the purchased materials to refine several new puppets.
Of course, since he was not repairing the previous Four Great Spirit Puppets, the materials He Song used for the spirit puppet-refining were not particularly valuable.
These were some of the leftover materials from his previous purchase of puppet-making materials.
These materials could only be used for refining ordinary Foundation Establishment Spirit Puppets, similar in abilities to the original forms of the Four Great Spirit Puppets.
Their combat prowess was inferior to any Early Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
As He Song didn’t have much material and wanted to refine five puppets, they had to be made quite small, resembling the size of children.
As time passed,
He Song’s mastery of the Puppet Refining Skill had become highly proficient.
As a result, he was able to refine the five spirit puppets very quickly.
When the five small spirit puppets appeared before him, a satisfied smile crossed He Song’s face.
These five puppets were not meant for combat, they were specially designed to guard the medicine gardens.
Now,
He Song needed to establish a great many medicine gardens.
To avoid any changes within the gardens, He Song needed to make sure he had a backup plan.
Although the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array was in place to eliminate most pests and foreign objects in the gardens,
and the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array was set up to block outside pests from entering the valley,
He Song still felt it wasn’t secure enough.
For this reason, he refined the five spirit puppets, planning to place them in the various medicine gardens to watch over them and sow Ling Medicine Seeds.
The soil in the newly established gardens was still ordinary mortal soil, unsuitable for cultivating spirit medicine.
They had to wait until the ordinary soil in the valley was transformed into spirit soil before the Ling Medicine Seeds could be planted and take root.,
He Song’s refined spirit puppets were naturally intended to help with these tasks.
Unlike other puppets, spirit puppets can carry out orders unwaveringly once they have been given.
Take He Song’s setting, for example,
He ordered the spirit puppet to sow Ling Medicine Seeds and to watch over the garden six months after he left the area.
In that case, the puppet would sow the seeds and guard the garden in the sixth month after He Song’s departure and continue doing so until a new order was given.
By doing this, although refining the spirit puppets was a bit complicated, it saved He Song from making an extra trip.
If he had to make the extra trip, not only would it be more time-consuming, but it would also leave the garden without spirit puppets to watch over it, potentially leading to unexpected problems.
After refining the five spirit puppets, He Song wouldn’t need to worry about anything else when creating new medicine gardens.
He would only need to hand over the Ling Medicine Seeds to the spirit puppets and instruct them to sow the seeds once the soil in the garden had transformed into spirit soil.
In this way, the puppet-refining materials could be put to good use, the gardens would have spirit puppets for protection, and He Song could save a lot of time.
It was simply perfect.
With a wave of his hand, He Song withdrew four of the five spirit puppets into his storage bag, leaving only one behind.
After placing a number of spirit stones and Ling Medicine Seeds into the core of the puppet, He Song gave orders to the one in front of him.
Once the soil in the area had transformed into spirit soil, it would sow the Spirit Medicine Seeds from afar.
After spreading the Spirit Medicine Seeds, it would watch over the medicine gardens.
Once the settings were complete, the spirit puppet in front of He Song instantly came to life.
After inspecting the entire medicine garden and finding that the soil was still ordinary soil, the spirit puppet soon entered a dormant state.
According to He Song’s configuration, the puppet would awaken every month to check if the soil in the valley had transformed into spirit soil.
If it hadn’t, the puppet would continue to hibernate.
If the soil had turned into spirit soil, it would sow the Spirit Medicine Seeds and begin to guard the garden.
Once he’d dealt with these matters, seeing that the spirit puppet had entered its working state, He Song left enough spirit stones to power the Arrays for more than ten years at this location.
Then he turned around and left the mountain valley.
Outside the valley,
He Song took one last look at the valley, which was now covered by the Smoke Array and appeared flawless. Then he transformed into an aqua blue escape light, soaring skywards and heading into the distance.
