Chapter 51 – Making Spiritual Soil
With a thought, Xu Chuniang directly began casting the Spring Life Technique.
A full ten strands of wood aura were condensed as she cast the spell, acting on each of the ten seeds.
Only to see that the moment they were acted upon by the Spring Life Technique, those ten seeds began to sprout at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Two years had passed, and the number of targets she was able to cast the Spring Life Technique on had heftily increased from three to ten!
Xu Chuniang, however, frowned, as if she wasn’t quite satisfied with the result.
But having only catalyzed a mere ten seeds, there were at least thousands of seeds that she had scattered, and to catalyze all of them, she would almost have to use the Spring Life Technique more than a hundred times.
“Too slow, try to see if you can condense some more.”
Xu Chuniang cast the Spring Life Technique again, and after many attempts, she realized that she could only condense a maximum of twelve strands of wood aura at the same time.
Any more and the wood aura would spiral out of control and riot.
She shook her head with some regret, controlling them towards the twelve seeds that hadn’t sprouted, and it seemed that within a short period of time, she could only do this much.
The second batch of seeds that had been subjected to the Spring Life Technique similarly sprouted tiny bud tips.
After Xu Chuniang cast the Spring Life Technique again, the aura in her body was completely drained, while the third batch of seeds also began to sprout.
She secretly did some calculations, if all of her spiritual qi was used to cast the Spring Life Technique, she would be able to cast it more than ten times at the most, and be able to germinate more than a hundred seeds.
It would take eight rounds of this to get all the seeds taken care of by the Spring Life Technique.
Xu Chuniang quickly shook her head, dismissing this idea.
Compared to the Spring Life Technique, the effects of the Moistening Earth Technique were clearly more long-lasting, which was why, at the very beginning, she would use most of her aura on the Moistening Earth Technique.
“Whatever, let’s restore the aura first. There’s still half a year left, take your time.”
Xu Chuniang returned to the cabin, and after sitting down cross-legged on the bed, she took out a bottle of Spirit Dew from her storage pouch and drank it on her head.
After a few moments, Xu Chunniang opened her eyes, and she realized that the little bit of spiritual qi contained in the Spiritual Dew was no longer of much help to the current her.
She did not reveal a look of disappointment, as early as when she had just entered the fourth level of Qi cultivation and the utility of the Spirit Dew had dropped again and again, she had guessed that after the fifth level of Qi cultivation, the Spirit Dew would completely lose its utility to her cultivation.
Right now, it was just a confirmation of her previous guess.
These Spirit Dew could not be wasted, Xu Chuniang got up and evenly spread all the Spirit Dew in the Spirit Field.
“We can only meditate slowly.”
After scattering the spirit dews, Xu Chunniang began to meditate to recover.
After her cultivation level had risen, the time it took to bring her aura back to full strength had likewise increased.
By the time she finally recovered her aura, it was dark outside, and the day had just passed.
Xu Chuniang pondered for a moment and decided to create some spirit soil first.
Spiritual soil was of great use to her, not only could it increase her cultivation speed, but it could also speed up the efficiency of her aura recovery.
Without any further hesitation, Xu Chunniang focused her mind and began to cast the Spiritual Soil Technique underneath her body.
A steady stream of spiritual qi surged into a small patch of soil, causing the spiritual qi contained in the soil to rapidly increase.
Most of the spiritual qi dispersed on the spot, but a small portion of it was thoroughly absorbed, slowly improving the quality of the soil.
After once again extracting not a single ounce of spiritual qi from her body, Xu Chuniang felt the amount of spiritual qi in the land beneath her and nodded in satisfaction.
Previously, when she was at the third level of qi cultivation, it had taken her two whole months to obtain a piece of spiritual soil.
Now that she was at the fifth level of qi cultivation, her aura cultivation was more than thirty times that of that time, so I’m afraid that it wouldn’t take more than a few days for her to be able to create a piece of spirit soil.
However, one piece of spirit soil might not be quite enough for the current Xu Chuniang, so I’m afraid that she would have to create a few more pieces.
In the following days, apart from going to the Spirit Field to cast the Spirit Rain Technique every morning, noon and night, the rest of Xu Chuniang’s time was spent on the matter of creating Spirit Soil. Her Spirit Rain Technique was improved, the range remained the same, only the amount of Spirit Rain was reduced by ten times, and correspondingly, the Spirit Qi in the Spirit Rain, was drastically increased.
Moreover, every time she irrigated, she had to cast this Enhanced Spiritual Rain Technique a full ten times, which would be thirty times a day, which was exactly the limit of what these spiritual rice could absorb.
The days passed day by day, finally, in the early morning of the sixth day, the first piece of spirit soil was created.
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, got up and walked towards the spirit field, and after casting the Spirit Rain Technique ten times as usual, she routinely checked it out.
After seeing that all the seeds in the spirit field had begun to germinate, Xu Chunniang nodded in satisfaction and went to the corner of the spirit field to cast the Spring Life Technique again.
She cast the Spring Life Technique three times in a row, targeting the previous batch of seedlings that had received the Spring Life Technique.
Only to see that the seedlings, which were already half as tall as the surrounding new shoots, grew slightly larger under the Spring Life Technique’s stimulation.
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, since she couldn’t take care of all the seedlings, let’s take care of these little ones first.
Let’s see if they would be different from the other spirit rice when they grew up.
After returning to the house, Xu Chuniang continued to create spirit soil.
After having the first piece of spirit soil, Xu Chuniang’s speed was even faster, and the second piece of spirit soil, which only took five and a half days, was created.
The spiritual qi contained in the two pieces of spirit soil was astonishing, but Xu Chuniang wasn’t satisfied with it, and soon, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth pieces of spirit soil were built along with it.
As the amount of spirit soil in the house increased, Xu Chunniang’s speed of creating it grew faster and faster.
From taking six days in the beginning, it was shortened to only four days to create a single piece of spirit soil.
“Counting the time, it’s been a month since I took the commission. The spirit soil is enough for now, any more won’t help me more, so let’s use these six pieces first.”
After feeling the aura for a while, Xu Chuniang finally stopped.
At this moment, the concentration of spiritual qi in the house reached an extremely high level.
There were only six pieces of Spiritual Soil, but the soil surrounding the Spiritual Soil, the amount of Spiritual Qi within it wasn’t exactly low.
Xu Chuniang walked out of the room, and in passing, she came with ten Spiritual Rain Arts on the Spiritual Fields, and cast Spring Life Arts on those Spiritual Rice that she had focused on.
Compared to a month ago, the appearance of the spirit field had long changed drastically.
All the spirit rice had turned into tiny seedlings, about three inches tall.
At a glance, the entire spirit field was lush and green.
The spirit rice that had been given special attention was even twice as tall as the rest of the seedlings, making it stand out from the rest.
Xu Chuniang nodded with satisfaction, these spirit rice grew so well, it wasn’t in vain that she insisted on using the Spring Life Technique to take care of them every day.
Her body’s spiritual qi was still abundant, so Xu Chunniang directly cast the Moistening Soil Technique towards the spiritual field.
After all, the spirit field was the root, only when the spirit field had sufficient spiritual qi could the spirit rice grow better.
Xu Chuniang had even thought of transforming the entire spiritual field into spiritual soil, but this idea was ultimately abandoned by her.
For one, the spiritual field was too large, and it would take too long if she wanted to transform the entire spiritual field.
The second was that the time Xu Chuniang had taken the commission was only five years.
After five years, this spiritual field was to be returned to the sect.
If the people of the sect found out that the quality of the spiritual field had improved and the spiritual qi had increased greatly, she was afraid that she would really be caught planting the field for the rest of her life.
So the idea of transforming the spiritual field into spiritual soil only existed in her mind for a split second before it was firmly scratched out.
Spiritual fields and whatnot were all external objects, the priority was still to raise her cultivation.
