Chapter 60: A New High

Chapter 60: A New High
Xu Chuniang can have such a fast cultivation speed, in addition to that previous accidental epiphany, mainly or the merits of the spiritual dew, spiritual soil and spiritual rice.

It’s no exaggeration to say that without the help of Spirit Dew and other things, her cultivation speed, I’m afraid to be more than three or five times slower.

However, after entering the sixth level of qi cultivation, the amount of spiritual qi required was several times that of the fifth level of qi cultivation, not to mention the fact that there was still a small bottleneck separating the sixth level of qi cultivation from the seventh level of qi cultivation.

Xu Chuniang had already foreseen that for some time in the future, she would be stuck at the sixth level of Qi cultivation.

Since she couldn’t get a significant increase in her cultivation in a short period of time, she would focus on her arts.

Speaking of which, Xu Chuniang only knew a mere two attacking techniques, which for a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, was considered shabby.

Ever since she persisted in consuming spirit rice daily, her physique was growing stronger by the day.

Xu Chuniang planned to wait until she had collected the spiritual rice for some spirit stones this time, and go to the Transmission Pavilion to find out if there were any suitable physical cultivation techniques.

At that time, if there were any other fancy techniques, they could be bought together.

There was also the art of seal scripts, which had been delayed for more than a year, and it was time to start learning it as well.

After arranging the direction of her studies for the next few years, Xu Chuniang didn’t rush to consolidate her cultivation as usual, and first went to the spirit field to explore the situation.

Everything was as usual in the spirit field, so Xu Chunniang cast the Spirit Rain Technique and began to make spirit food again.

Only after finishing the spirit food did she re-enter the house and consolidate her cultivation.

Three days later.

Xu Chuniang opened her eyes and lightly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, her cultivation at the sixth level of Qi cultivation had been completely stabilized.

In the next few days, the spirit rice began to bear ears.

As the number of spikes produced by the Spirit Rice increased, Xu Chuniang began to frequently use the Moistening Earth Technique to improve the Spirit Field’s aura.

After her cultivation had reached the sixth level of qi cultivation, she was more comfortable tending to the spiritual field, and her control of the spiritual qi when casting the Earth Moistening Technique became more and more refined and precise.

The Spring Life Technique also saw a small breakthrough, being able to cast it on fifteen targets at the same time.

What surprised her even more was that she tried to compress the Spiritual Dew again, and managed to compress a dozen drops of Spiritual Dew by a full double, ending up with seven drops of Spiritual Dew.

And the Spiritual Qi contained in these Spiritual Dew also doubled.

Although taking the Spirit Dew directly had a negligible effect on Xu Chuniang, to the point where it could be ignored, using them to cook the Spirit Rice could maximize the effect of the Spirit Rice.

Xu Chuniang directly took out her food stove, put a catty of crescent moon rice into it, and began to condense the spirit dew.

A single Spirit Dew Technique only condensed seven drops of Spirit Dew, and it took her two incense burners and a full fifty to sixty spells before the Spirit Dew, which had an amazing aura, would not have passed over the Spirit Rice in the furnace.

Xu Chuniang covered the stove lid and skillfully lit the cooking fire beads.

Compared to when she first bought it, the cooking fire bead has changed greatly.

It was originally the size of half a spirit stone, but nowadays, it was only the size of a fingernail cap.

After some more time, the cooking fire bead would completely burn out.

Xu Chuniang pondered in her heart that after collecting the spiritual rice this time, she would have to exchange it for some spirit stones to spend.

Not to mention other things, at least buy a new cooking fire bead, otherwise it would be inconvenient to make spiritual food.

Half an incense stick of time later, an extremely rich fragrance emanated from the stove, Xu Chuniang couldn’t wait to uncover the lid of the stove and scooped up a large bowl of rice and ate it.

Just after entering the mouth, Xu Chunniang realized that the crescent moon rice tasted even softer and more glutinous.

Not only that, the spiritual energy contained in the rice had even increased by a quarter.

After two bowls of fragrant spiritual rice were consumed, Xu Chunniang even had the urge to add more rice, but this urge was forcibly suppressed by her.

She couldn’t eat any more, if she ate any more, there really wouldn’t be enough spirit rice to go around. Spirit rice into the stomach soon after began to digest, nourishing the five viscera and six bowels.

Can obviously feel, that nourishing power, than usual to be much stronger.

It seems that the more concentrated the spirit dew, the better the effect.

Since it was effective, Xu Chuniang immediately decided to use the concentrated version of the Spirit Dew to cook spiritual food in the future, which would only take an extra incense stick of time.

After the large-scale tasseling of the spirit rice, Xu Chunniang spent more time in the spirit field, preparing for the spirit rice that would soon mature.

Just as she was busy with her daily work for the spirit fields, the entire Spirit Plant Peak could be said to have mixed feelings.

Steward Sun’s worries weren’t false, after the initial few spirit fields that were slow to bear rice ears and suspected to have a new disease, there were several more spirit fields that also stopped bearing ears.

In these infected spirit fields, even the spirit rice that had begun to bear spikes, the new spikes were dry and shriveled.

And these newly infected spirit fields were all centered not far around the spirit field that had gone wrong.

In the end, as long as there was one spiritual field in an area that had problems, all the spiritual fields in the area were infected.

Fortunately, Steward Sun ordered the disciples to block off the spiritual fields in time, not giving the disease a chance to spread on a large scale.

Thus so far, throughout the entire Spirit Plant Peak, only a small portion of the spiritual fields still suffered from the disease. Other than these few problematic areas, other places were not affected.

However, seeing as the tasseling period was almost over, the reason why this batch of spirit rice did not tassel was still unknown.

This group of disciples who had problems with their spiritual fields were simply worried, this spiritual rice didn’t even bear spikes, let alone mature and harvest.

The disciples who were lucky enough to escape the disease were also terrified day and night, praying that their own spiritual fields would not be infected.

Faced with this situation, even the experienced Steward Sun was at his wits’ end.

He had already sent a signal to the sect for help, pleading for the sect to send an inner sect spiritual pharmacist to come and investigate the situation.

But these spiritual pharmacists, one by one, all pushed that there are too many things to go, so far, there has not been any spiritual pharmacist to come over.

Sun steward mood is a little heavy, it seems that this year’s loss is inevitable, only hope that the inner door of the spiritual pharmacist can find out the source of this disease, to prevent the same situation from occurring again in the future.

Xu Chuniang’s Spirit Field 172 was too remote, plus she never interacted with the other disciples of Spirit Plant Peak, she didn’t even know that the entire Spirit Plant Peak had long been on edge.

However, it was also because of the remote location of Spirit Field 172 that it was far away from the threat of disease.

In addition, Xu Chuniang has always been closed formation, do not allow anyone to enter and never leave the spiritual field, but accidentally in line with the “isolation” method described by Supervisor Sun.

Under Xu Chuniang’s careful care, the spirit rice finally entered the ripening period, and every day, it had to absorb a huge amount of spiritual qi, especially the crescent moon rice, which absorbed twice as much spiritual qi as ordinary spirit rice.

However, the spiritual qi in the spiritual field was extremely abundant, and could still be supplied for the time being.

The ripening period of the spirit rice was very important, which was directly related to the harvest of the spirit rice. Under these circumstances, it was even more impossible for Xu Chuniang to leave the spirit field.

As the maturity of the spirit rice increased, Xu Chuniang even temporarily stopped cultivating in the end, spending all of her time on the spirit field, concentrating on waiting for the spirit rice to completely mature.

Such a time lasted for a week, the spirit rice finally ushered in the maturity after sucking up the spiritual qi, a golden yellow spirit rice full and round, full of spirituality.

After the sound of “crackling”, the spirit rice scrambled to break its shell and fall to the ground, and in a short while, it was scattered all over the entire spirit field.

Xu Chuniang was already very skillful at collecting the spiritual rice, and it wasn’t long before she had collected several large bags full of spiritual rice.

She had collected 430 pounds of ordinary spirit rice alone, a full ten pounds more than last time.

The yield of crescent moon rice was even more of a surprise to Xu Chunniang.

The output of crescent moon rice was only slightly less than ordinary spirit rice, reaching a staggering 400 jin!
