Chapter 26 Twenty-sixth Moistening Earth Technique and Spirit Earth Technique

The first split was smooth, and the two strands of wood aura turned into four clusters of exploding spiritual energy in the twinkling of an eye.

This kind of one-time split of the burst of spiritual power damage is extremely low, even four groups together to burst is not comparable to a fireball art, after all, in addition to its own contained power, but also able to constantly burn to cause damage.

Xu Chuniang’s face remained unchanged, and under her control, the four balls of Explosive Spiritual Power split once again, turning into eight balls!
Controlling the eight clusters of Exploding Spirit Power, Xu Chuniang still had some strength left, and she took a deep breath, her face taking on a somewhat cautious look. She was going to perform a third split on these eight balls of Exploding Spirit Force at the same time!
Without knowing how she was going to move, she only saw the eight balls of originally peaceful Exploding Spirit Force being split once again, and it had clearly turned into sixteen balls!
“Not good!”

Xu Chuniang’s face changed slightly, she was able to sense that these Exploding Spirit Forces were too violent, and almost the instant they first appeared, a small half of them were out of control!

Almost as if it was her body’s instinct, she revved up her Spiritual Void Steps and retreated backwards without hesitation.

Only when she was about to take a step back, she heard a “boom” sound, the explosive spiritual power had already scrambled and exploded, blowing a huge crater in the ground.

Xu Chuniang’s face turned white, her heart beating so fast that it almost crashed out of her chest.

If she hadn’t reacted quickly just then, I’m afraid she would have already been blown up by the Spirit Explosion Technique she had concocted herself!
“The power of the Spirit Explosion Technique is too terrifying, it’s only sixty-four times more powerful, and I almost sent myself away ……”

Xu Chuniang shook her head, at least for a short period of time, she wouldn’t think of practicing the Spirit Explosion Technique. She could barely control at most twelve clusters of Exploding Spirit Power in her party, and four clusters of Exploding Spirit Power were instantly out of control. It was luck this time, but not necessarily next time.

After Xu Chuniang calmed down, she returned to the cave and took out a jade slip, preparing to practice the Moistening Earth Art.

“The Moistening Earth Technique and the Spiritual Rain Technique are pretty much the same, both are purely auxiliary techniques that can be cast over a wide range. The Spiritual Rain Technique is to water the spiritual plants so that they can absorb the spiritual qi, while the Earth Moistening Technique is to input spiritual qi into the land where the spiritual plants are planted, and improve the quality of the land over time.

However, the amount of Reiki needed for the Spiritual Rain Technique is almost fixed, and can only be reduced and hardly increased, while the Earth Moistening Technique has no upper limit on the amount of Reiki needed at all.”

Xu Chuniang secretly pondered, when she first discovered this cave, the spiritual energy inside was already abundant, probably about three times as much as outside.

After going through her countless uses of the Spirit Rain Technique, the spiritual energy within the cave was a little higher than before, though the change wasn’t really noticeable.

The Spiritual Rain Technique was still able to make the spiritual energy within the cave a tad higher, and she didn’t know what kind of surprise this Moistening Earth Technique, which was specifically used to improve the land’s spiritual energy, would bring her.

The Earth Moistening Technique was extremely simple to use, and only required one to transform the Spiritual Qi into Earth Spiritual Qi and then transport it into the land, only the speed of transporting the Spiritual Qi was somewhat required.

It couldn’t be too fast, or else the land would waste it if it didn’t have time to absorb the aura. Nor can it be too slow, if it is too slow, it will have no effect. And in the process of conveying the aura, it is necessary to maintain the same speed of conveying the aura all the time.

However, Xu Chuniang’s transportation and control of the spiritual qi had long since reached a point of extreme proficiency, and the most difficult earth moistening technique for others had instead become the easiest to cultivate when it came to her.

After only a few days of work, she had already mastered it well.

The only shortcoming was that the purity of her earth spirit root was only thirty-five points, and the transformation efficiency of her aura was a bit lower.

The Earth Moisturizing Technique worked directly on the land, so its casting range was extremely large, almost more than twice that of the Spiritual Rain Technique.

With such a large area, even if Xu Chuniang input all of her own spiritual qi, the overall spiritual qi value in the land did not change much.

Xu Chuniang wasn’t discouraged and quickly thought of a way, “Try narrowing down the range of effect of the Earth Moistening Technique.” With her rich experience in compressing the casting range of the Spiritual Rain Technique, it didn’t take much work for Xu Chunniang to reduce the range of the Earth Moisturizing Technique to a very small extent, right below where she sat cross-legged.

Xu Chunniang closed her eyes and kept running the Earth Moistening Technique, transforming her body’s spiritual qi into earth-attribute spiritual qi and slowly channeling it towards her body.

After channeling her entire body’s spiritual qi, Xu Chunniang sensed the spiritual qi in the land beneath her, and as expected, the spiritual qi contained therein was vaguely higher than the surrounding area by a hair’s breadth!
She opened her eyes, and excitement flashed across her eyes, she had only performed the Earth Moistening Technique at full strength once, but the effect could be felt, and under the accumulation of time, it would definitely be able to drastically improve the spiritual qi contained within the land.

The more sufficient the spiritual qi was, the more benefits she could get from practicing here.

Originally, Xu Chuniang was still worried about the reduction in the utility of the Spirit Dew and the slowing down of her cultivation speed by a factor of two, but with this concentrated version of the Earth Moistening Technique, she was confident that her cultivation speed would only be faster and not slower than before.

“First, remodel this small area.”

Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement, taking out Spirit Dew to replenish her spiritual qi as she began her grand plan of remodeling.

In the days that followed, Xu Chunniang was preoccupied with using the Earth Moistening Technique to transform the land beneath her. It wasn’t until a certain day, when no matter how much she cast the Moistening Earth Technique, she was unable to increase the amount of spiritual qi in the land beneath her, that Xu Chunniang was able to stop.

This process lasted for three whole months.

The land underneath her, after being continuously moisturized by the earth moistening technique these days, the spiritual qi had already reached an extremely astonishing level, and could almost be called “spiritual soil”.

The land surrounding the Spiritual Soil, although the spiritual qi was not as amazing as the Spiritual Soil, the amount of spiritual qi was also extremely amazing.

More importantly, this spiritual qi had already been completely absorbed by the soil, and would hardly dissipate.

Looking at the results she had obtained after months of hard work, Xu Chuniang nodded in satisfaction.

Sharpening the knife was not worth the effort, and although it had taken three months to create the spiritual soil, compared to the benefits that the spiritual soil could bring, this time investment was naturally not worth mentioning.

“This condensed version of the Moistening Earth Technique, although its range of action is tens of times less than the normal Moistening Earth Technique, it is able to rapidly increase the soil’s aura in a short period of time, so let’s call it the Spirit Soil Technique, which can be used to make a distinction from the normal Moistening Earth Technique.”

Xu Chuniang vaguely felt that the Spiritual Soil Art was far more helpful to her than the Spiritual Dew Art.

Right now, although Spirit Dew could still help her cultivate, its utility was already twice as bad as when she was at the second level of Qi cultivation, and when she entered the fourth level of Qi cultivation, the utility of Spirit Dew would be discounted again.

But this spiritual soil was different, as long as she cultivated on the spiritual soil, it would provide a boost to her cultivation, and if the spiritual qi within the spiritual soil was insufficient, she could still replenish it at any time.

“Counting the time, seven months have already passed this year, and there are only five months left, time flies really fast.”

During these seven months, Xu Chuniang had first practiced Spirit Concealment Steps, and then created the Spirit Soil, without ever purposely taking the time to raise her cultivation. Her cultivation had only slightly improved from when she had just entered the third level of Qi cultivation, barely reaching the early stage of the third level of Qi cultivation.

There was no year-end examination for the second year of a new disciple’s initiation, but after the three-year rookie period was over, there would be a big examination. Right now, there was still nearly a year and a half to go before the big test.

Thank you for the reward of the Taoist friends spicy dry pot and struggle younger!
