The Fire Sun Grass is considered a divine herb by cultivators who practice fire-based techniques. Elixirs made from it have pure fire energy and minimal side effects when used for cultivation.

Moreover, for sects like the Yin-Yang Sect, which practice yin-yang techniques, female disciples can even cultivate using elixirs made solely from Fire Sun Grass without needing a Dao Companion for dual cultivation.

Its ability to resist cold poison is just one of its many insignificant advantages.

The Blazing Fire Grass that Li Chuan just mentioned is quite similar to the Fire Sun Grass in terms of appearance, growth environment, and even the self-protection traits it exhibits during harvesting.

Both are fire-attributed spirit herbs, but the only difference is that the Blazing Fire Grass self-ignites upon maturity.

That's not all.

They not only burn themselves but also consume the surrounding spiritual qi.

Therefore, if Blazing Fire Grass is not removed promptly, the area will not only become a sea of fire but also a scorching spiritual qi avoidance zone, preventing spiritual qi from returning for many years.

At that point, forget about spirit plants; even ordinary vegetation would struggle to survive.

In the world of cultivation, it's a common understanding among cultivators to clear toxic and useless spirit plants from the wild, as spirit plants require spiritual qi to grow, just as cultivators need it for cultivation.

To cultivators, toxic and useless spirit plants compete for spiritual qi, and having too many of them reduces the available spiritual qi, making cultivation difficult.

So, it's not just the highly hazardous Blazing Fire Grass that gets cleared; even a bunch of useless spirit herbs would be removed.

Blazing Fire Grass and Fire Sun Grass actually belong to the same type of grass, only evolving in different directions.

Li Chuan estimated that there must have been a mix of Blazing Fire Grass and Fire Sun Grass here, and the cultivator who destroyed the Fire Sun Grass lacked knowledge, mistaking both for Blazing Fire Grass and destroying them.

Such incidents are all too common in the world of cultivation, with the perpetrators unaware of their wastefulness and the destruction of rare items.

Regardless, Li Chuan made quite a gain, happily digging out the Fire Sun Grass and placing it into his Universe Pouch before continuing his search.

Since he felt a breakthrough was near, he didn't plan to spend much time searching for spirit plants, prioritizing his breakthrough instead.

After finding two spirit herbs worth only a few spirit stones, he headed back, flying towards the entrance.

If not for the fact that most of the spiritual qi in this Minor World was absorbed by the spirit plants in the spirit fields and soils, he could have just meditated and cultivated in the forest.

"Huh? Huh!" After flying for about half an incense stick's time, Li Chuan suddenly stopped above a spirit field, exclaiming twice in surprise.

His gaze was fixed on a ridge among the crisscrossing spirit fields below.

With an excited heart, Li Chuan slowly descended.

As the saying goes, treasures often appear when least expected, and now was one of those moments.

Who would have thought that in this open area, at a ridge frequented by people, there would be an incredibly precious spirit herb?

This was a large spirit field area, crisscrossed with at least forty to fifty spirit fields.

Almost every spirit field had someone guarding it, as the spirit rice within was nearing harvest. If someone were to cut it now, it would be a huge loss.

As soon as Li Chuan landed, the spirit field owners near the ridge immediately stood up.

"Senior Brother, what brings you here?" a black-clad middle-aged disciple, only a dozen meters away from Li Chuan, asked with cupped hands.

His eyes were full of vigilance.

Although Li Chuan was unlikely to openly rob their spirit rice, a stranger suddenly appearing at their spirit field was cause for concern.

Li Chuan's gaze shifted from the pile of weeds on the ridge to the people around him.

In that pile of weeds, one weed was slightly greener than the others, barely noticeable unless one looked closely.

Of course, even if others noticed, they probably wouldn't recognize what kind of weed it was and would just assume it was an ordinary Spirit-Guarding Grass.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be growing so openly here.

Spirit-Guarding Grass is actually a general term for weeds that can protect spiritual qi from dissipating.

The spiritual qi in spirit lands comes from underground, constantly rising.

Without any obstruction, this spiritual qi would eventually float up into the sky.

Spirit-Guarding Grass emerged to address this, with the characteristic of blocking spiritual qi in spirit lands, keeping it from escaping and continuously nourishing the spirit land.

In fact, the wild weeds growing on undeveloped spirit lands are all Spirit-Guarding Grass, preserving the spiritual qi within the spirit lands.

That's why there are piles of weeds on the ridges of the surrounding spirit fields; it's not that people are too lazy to clear them, but that they can't be cleared.

They can be considered naturally formed formations, and once cleared, the loss of spiritual qi in the spirit fields directly affects the growth of the spirit rice and indirectly impacts the longevity of the spirit fields.

Facing the wary gazes of the people, Li Chuan remained calm and said with a puzzled expression, "I noticed that the quality of these first-tier spirit fields is at least above average, so why do these spirit rice seem to be growing poorly, producing only the lowest quality spirit rice? I was curious and came down to take a look."

His words made the faces of the people around him turn unpleasant.

Because he spoke the truth, the surrounding spirit fields weren't just above average; they were top-tier spirit fields.

Top-tier spirit fields producing the lowest quality spirit rice meant the effectiveness of the resulting spirit rice was uncertain, which had been a source of pain for the spirit field owners in the area for some time.

They had even consulted Spirit Plant Masters, but no one could figure out the reason.

Now, Li Chuan's words were like rubbing salt in their wounds, and they couldn't possibly be happy about it.

"There's no need for Senior Brother to worry about this," the black-clad middle-aged man said flatly.

"If Senior Brother is just curious and wants to investigate, it's best to leave. We've already consulted with Spirit Plant Masters, and they couldn't find the cause, so it's even less likely that Senior Brother can," another gray-clad middle-aged man to Li Chuan's left said.

Although these people were only at the first level of Qi Refining, they believed that they could handle Li Chuan if it came to a confrontation, so they weren't particularly polite to someone who had come down just to watch the commotion.

Li Chuan, however, smiled and said, "I actually have some knowledge of spirit plants. If I say I've found the reason for the poor growth of your spirit rice, how would you thank me?"

"If you don't solve the problem with your spirit fields, even if the spirit rice matures, it will be difficult to produce complete spirit rice. Even the lowest quality spirit rice will be hard to obtain."

These words made the people's faces change again.

This was exactly what they feared, and it was a possibility that had been mentioned by the Spirit Plant Masters.

"Is Senior Brother serious? Can Senior Brother really help us solve the problem with our spirit fields?" The black-clad middle-aged man ran over to Li Chuan with a smile, "I don't know what Senior Brother wants, but we are all quite strapped for resources. I hope Senior Brother can show some leniency for fellow sect members."
