Chapter 14
On Misty Cloud Mountain, Qi Ping cultivated two types of spiritual flowers: Moonrest Blooms and Sunspirit Flowers.
He chose these two because they were relatively easy to seed, had long blooming periods, and weren’t restricted by seasons—making them ideal for sustained honey production.
Additionally, their requirements for spiritual energy and growing conditions were lower compared to other spiritual plants.
Most first-rank spiritual flowers needed to grow in first-rank spiritual fields or atop first-rank spiritual veins; otherwise, they would wither. However, the mountain Qi Ping rented—Plot 007, Ding District of Misty Cloud Mountain—was on the fringes of the range, far from qualifying as a first-rank spiritual field.
Only a tiny patch of land here had spiritual energy even a quarter as dense as the lowest-grade first-rank spiritual field.
Given these limitations, Qi Ping didn’t have many options for spiritual flowers. Moonrest Blooms and Sunspirit Flowers were the most cost-effective choice.
Even so, many still withered due to insufficient spiritual energy. In particularly bad years, the seeds saved from previous harvests weren’t enough for replanting, forcing him to buy more from Qingshi Market.
Fortunately, the seeds were cheap, costing only a few spirit stones.
Such were the constraints of not having access to a high-quality spiritual vein or field.
