Chapter 327: Chapter 147: Heaven-Controlling Bottle, Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid, 100-Year Bloom (Part 2)

You can learn knowledge from it.

"Learning is earning.

This is also a form of cultivation."

Zhou Changwang continued to peruse each Jade Scroll, also comparing and memorizing some things.

For instance, there was a travelogue of a cultivator, which recorded several places the cultivator had visited, as well as the local customs and practices of each place.

This cultivator wasn’t very powerful, only at the Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation level, feeling hopeless about reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm before sixty, he gave up and instead found joy in traveling and exploring places.

His favorite places were some mundane countries.

With his abilities, displaying a few tricks occasionally would place him as a guest of honor by local powers, providing him many novel insights.

He encountered many strange and bizarre things among the common people.

Such as zombies, ghosts, demons, and exotic treasures.

He mentioned an exotic treasure called the Heaven-Controlling Bottle, said to absorb the essence of day and night at mid-month, and when poured on Spirit Plants, it could accelerate their growth by several months or even more than a year in a very short time.

This had quite a similar effect to the Fertilization Technique and Annual Ring Skill of a Spirit Plant Master.

However, these techniques require sufficient Spiritual Qi in the corresponding environment.

But the Heaven-Controlling Bottle could absorb Moon Spirit Essence as a substitute for Spiritual Qi, making it less cumbersome.

Additionally, Zhou Changwang also found in another Jade Scroll a narrative from a cultivator who had escaped from the Demon Sect, describing the Spirit Plant Masters of the Demon Path.

According to the escapee, Demon Path Spirit Plant Masters mainly cultivate a type of Bloodthirsty Spirit Flower, which they nourish with live human blood, referred to as ’human livestock’.

Moreover, they possess a Spirit Devouring Technique, capable of devouring the life essence of cultivators and demon beasts, and using it to water the Spirit Plants, achieving rapid growth.

"The Heaven-Controlling Bottle should be the legendary Spirit Plant Magical Artifact.

Such artifacts are extremely rare, and only the great sects have the specific refining methods, but these are rarely disseminated.

As for the Spirit Devouring Technique, it should be similar to the Life-Cutting Finger, but while the latter extracts the vitality of a Spirit Plant, the former extracts it from cultivators and demon beasts..."

Zhou Changwang reflected, his expression suddenly shifting.

"Since the Demon Sect has this method of seizing the vitality of cultivators and demon beasts and infusing it into Spirit Plants to aid their growth, is it possible also for the Immortal Sects?

Although they might not be as brutal as the Demon Sect in treating cultivators as ’fertilizer’, what about demon beasts?

The vitality of demon beasts may even surpass that of cultivators."

Zhou Changwang’s thoughts fluctuated.

He then considered himself.

Besides the Life-Cutting Finger, he also had mastered the Spirit Seizing Technique.

This technique was one of the magic inheritances he acquired after killing a Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivator in Fengming Wufang City.

It is said to be able to seize the Spiritual Qi of a creature and convert it for oneself.

But if not used for oneself, could it be transmitted to Spirit Plants to aid their growth?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t sit still any longer.

The Spirit Seizing Technique, in fact, was only at the Mid-Tier First Grade level, its rune structure had forty-seven characters, of which more than twenty were ones he had long mastered and optimized numerous times.

As such, he only spent a short half an hour to grasp this technique at the entry level.

Then he stepped out of his Spirit Land and took a stroll around Xiaofeng Mountain, in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he captured a dozen or so venomous snakes, five or six mountain hares, and wild chickens.

Zhou Changwang first used the Spirit Seizing Technique on one of the venomous snakes.

In an instant, he felt a surge of vitality being extracted, wanting to infuse into his body.

However, under Zhou Changwang’s control, he redirected it like with the Life-Cutting Finger, condensing this vitality into ’Spiritual Liquid’, which he then dripped into a Jade Bottle.

From one venomous snake, which eventually turned into dried snake, he extracted but a single drop of Spiritual Liquid.

Then he continuously applied the Spirit Seizing Technique, extracting ’Spiritual Liquid’ from each venomous snake on the brink of demonization, collecting a total of about a dozen drops.

Next, he controlled these spiritual liquids and dripped them onto a Qingyun Grass.

This Qingyun Grass, which he had cultivated himself, had only half a year of Ring Time, absorbed it swiftly after it was dripped.

Then, Zhou Changwang applied an Annual Ring Skill.

In an instant, the Qingyun Grass grew rapidly, extending to a year and a half.

Then the second, third application.

It quickly matured to three years.

"It truly works.

The Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Land could only support its growth for a year, and after reaching this level of growth, there appeared no lack of Spiritual Qi, thanks to the effect of the ’Spiritual Liquid’."

"For now, I’ll call this ’Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid’.

I just don’t know if Spirit Plants nurtured by this Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid will have other negative effects?"

Zhou Changwang frowned slightly, then his gaze fell on the Spirit Dog lounging in the sun at the courtyard gate.

Noticing its master’s gaze, it became inexplicably uneasy, yet instinctively stood up and wagged its tail non-stop.

Qingyun Grass is one of the main ingredients for refining Cloud Spirit Pills and is naturally considered valuable; even when steamed or boiled, it can enhance a cultivator’s Spiritual Energy Cultivation to some extent.
