Harvesting is so convenient in this grotto-heaven setting.
After the harvest, the large trees that grew the dragon tooth rice immediately began to wither, then shriveled up completely, the leaves fell, and the trunks broke, as if a person's vitality had been instantly drained away, and they immediately headed towards death.
The fallen tree then merged into the five-colored soil, transforming into a fragrant soil that accumulates and nurtures the earth's fertility, awaiting the next planting.
Upon seeing this, Zen Yinsha said, "No wonder it's called rice; it's different from those fruit trees. Fruit trees bear fruit every year, but rice dies after being planted only once."
Xuan Yao Daoist stood up and said, "This five-colored soil needs to accumulate enough vital energy before it can be planted again; otherwise, the seeds will not be able to take root and sprout."
Lin Yi nodded and said, "That's for sure. The land needs fertilizer too. After planting once, the soil becomes thin, barren, and infertile."
The five-colored soil where Dragon Tooth Rice is grown is fertilized with extraordinary fertilizer. It is not filthy excrement, nor human or animal corpses or blood, but the vitality contained in thunder!
The more thunderous vitality is infused into the five-colored soil, the more fertile the land becomes, and the purer and higher quality the Dragon Tooth Rice grown there will be.
Zen Yinsha frowned and said, "It's a pity that the Lord of the Divine Firmament Thunder Pool is so ruthless, otherwise, there would be no need to go to such lengths."
Xuan Yao Daoist looked at the Myriad Transformations Thunder Cauldron in his hand and said, "My cauldron is still no match for the Great Thunder Essence Pool. This time, I only planted this small amount of land, and the thunder water stored in the cauldron is almost drained. When I expand the planting scale in the future, tsk tsk..."
Ao Luan said, "The ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan specially crafted a massive Thunder Essence Pool in the place where Dragon Tooth Rice is grown. Whenever there is thunder, a large amount of lightning is gathered and stored in the pool, which is used specifically to irrigate the Five-Colored Soil."
As the group chatted, a delightful aroma wafted over, indicating that the "Dragon Tooth Rice" was cooked.
The sisters Susan and Su Huan, who usually managed the Taixu Cave Heaven, came before the group with several maids who were actually plants and trees, carrying jade bowls on plates.
The jade bowls were filled with rice, which was neither quite porridge nor quite rice.
Once cooked, "Dragon Tooth Rice" turns into a viscous liquid, with pearl-like grains of rice floating in it. Its fragrance cleanses the pores of the whole body and penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
Dragon Girl Ao Luan twitched her nose, straightened her posture, and performed all the proper etiquette before picking up the jade chopsticks from the plate, lifting the bowl, and taking a bite.
After taking a bite of dragon tooth rice, she immediately noticed the difference.
This dragon tooth rice melts in your mouth, sweet and delicious. After eating it, it doesn't need to be digested at all; it transforms into the purest vital energy, blending with your blood and bone marrow, slowly improving your constitution.
It's like after the body has undergone a complete physical cleansing and blood transfusion, when practicing martial arts, you draw out the sweet saliva transformed from the bone marrow, then swallow it, and a wave of heat immediately spreads throughout your limbs and bones.
Lin Yi also savored the taste of the Dragon Tooth Rice.
Although his physical body became useless after he cultivated his primordial spirit, many Qi cultivators even shattered their physical bodies after achieving primordial spirit, using their essence and blood to nourish their primordial spirit.
Some cultivators retain their physical bodies merely as a memento. Even those who cultivate to the point of achieving the primordial spirit cannot escape the aging of their physical bodies, which will eventually gradually collapse.
For Qi Refining cultivators, the primordial spirit is the foundation for future enlightenment.
Lin Yi had never figured out what to do with his physical body.
Now that he had Dragon Tooth Rice, he suddenly wondered if his physical body could be transformed into an immortal.

Chapter 232 Divine Demon Martial Arts, Overseas Trip
Once a Human Immortal reaches the fourth-tier Martial Saint level in martial arts cultivation, they can begin refining their acupoints. This is what some ancient texts describe as "breaking through the void to see the gods."
After undergoing a blood transfusion, the Martial Saint gained profound insight into his physical body. He could clearly sense the numerous acupoints within his body, knowing precisely what their functions were on a daily basis and what role they played in combat…
All of these are the foundation of "refining the apertures".
Time is like a great river, relentlessly washing away every life in the world every moment.
If a martial saint wants to go further and achieve physical immortality, he must rely on this level of profound understanding of the physical body to repair and restore every minute damage caused to the body by battle and the passage of time.
This allows the physical body to remain in optimal condition, evolving and improving in the most reasonable and appropriate way, and progressing towards an eternal state of immortality and indestructibility.
This is precisely the secret of the highest realm of human immortal martial arts: "shattering the vacuum"!
Besides this, Lin Yi knew of another way to evolve the physical body, which could also lead to immortality.
If we consider the path of the Immortal Martial Arts as a microscopic direction of physical evolution, the key lies in raising the level at which the physical body exists.
This involves modifying the material structure of the physical body's molecules and atoms, enhancing the spatial dimension of the physical body, so that it can, like the primordial spirit, continuously embed itself into deeper levels of the void and absorb higher-level primordial energy.
Ultimately, the physical body becomes completely part of the void, merging with the Dao, and directly drawing upon the primordial power of endless chaotic spacetime to survive, much like the powerful beings speculated about in some ancient texts, such as "void behemoths" and "chaos demons."
Another direction of physical evolution is macroscopic, which aims to change the life form of the physical body, transforming it into longer-lived gods, demons, dragons, phoenixes, or even silicon-based or metallic life forms.
The Divine Sect and Demonic Sect in the Seven Phoenix Realms of the Primordial Universe followed this path, which was also the Great Road to Heaven.
Lin Yi called this method of physical evolution the Divine Demon Martial Path.
Whether it's the microscopic path of human immortals or the macroscopic path of gods and demons, in general, they are both a kind of "refining emptiness and uniting with the Dao" at the material level, which is similar to the "refining emptiness and uniting with the Dao" at the primordial spirit level.
Regardless of the method of cultivation, in the final stage, one must open the deep void and merge with the Great Dao.
They can be described as different paths leading to the same goal!
Lin Yi ate the dragon tooth rice while pondering in his mind.
Once the Longya rice is swallowed, there are no impurities; it all transforms into a faint fragrance that nourishes the internal organs.
Lin Yi's primordial spirit pervades his physical body, giving him a clear understanding of the internal organs. After consuming the Dragon Tooth Rice, it doesn't require digestion; it transforms into the purest primordial energy, merging with the blood and bone marrow to slowly improve one's constitution.
No impurities were produced in the intestines, meaning there was no need for urination or defecation.
There was none of the awkwardness described by "Monk Yinyue" in the martial arts manual, such as "eating one elephant a day and expelling one large pill every two hours."
As the saying goes, if you want to live, keep your intestines clean.
