I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 66: The Thunder Spirit Rice Tree Blooms

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Thunder Spirit Rice Tree Blooms

"From here on out, I’ll be kept busy."

Zhou Changwang was very diligent when he started working.

First, he cleared out all the remaining weeds in the Spirit Field, then spread them over the field and used the Fireball Technique to ignite them, burning them away.

This method not only prevents the weeds from sprouting again, but also kills some Spirit Insect eggs in the soil, greatly reducing the harm from Spirit Insects.

After burning was complete, he began digging the soil. The First-Grade Superior Spirit Field’s soil was much harder than ordinary Spirit Fields. He had to infuse his strength with Spiritual Power to excavate it.

After digging, he needed to lay down beast fertilizer and cover it with plant ash; only then would it be properly prepared.

Even as a Third-Layer Qi Cultivator, after doing this, Zhou Changwang was a bit exhausted.

"If I’d known earlier, I would have learned the Giant Strength Technique or the Earth Spike Technique. Both are particularly effective for tilling soil."

Zhou Changwang stretched and grumbled to himself.

If he really wanted to learn them, he still felt it would be unnecessary; taking on too much would be counterproductive.

These days, his schedule was packed, and he truly didn’t have the energy to learn any more basic techniques.

After all, his Spiritual Power was limited.

Though the Attribute Panel allowed for quick improvement, once his Spiritual Power was exhausted, he would need to meditate to recover, ultimately wasting time.

After all, tilling the soil only needed to be done for a few days.

"But the ’Celestial Essence Eight Techniques’ that my father left behind, I could practice a bit."

Zhou Changwang recalled the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques his father had practiced in front of him.

This skill was not a Martial Art but a Body Cultivation Technique.

It had powerful Body Refining effects and could naturally increase strength.

The key was that it didn’t consume Spiritual Power.

One afternoon, Zhou Changwang worked until he was tired, then rested, and then worked some more, finally completing the tilling of one acre of Spirit Field.

Just as he was about to call it a day, he glanced up and saw the three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees swaying in the wind.

"All three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees have been pushed to their growth limits by the Fertilization Technique; some branches and leaves are already turning yellow. I must quickly find a way to make them bloom Spirit Flowers and produce Spirit Rice... Otherwise, I can only watch them wither and die..."

Zhou Changwang felt a bit anxious inside.

Once Thunder Spirit Rice Trees start wilting, they will no longer produce Spirit Rice.

Remembering the information he read in the Library of the Spirit Plant Hall today, Zhou Changwang gritted his teeth and pulled out a Spirit Talisman from his Storage Bag.

This Spirit Talisman was none other than a Thunder Talisman. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

It was a trophy he obtained when he killed three Tribulation Cultivators before.

Feeling the violent power emanating from the Thunder Talisman, he was actually a bit hesitant.

After all, everyone knows the terrifying power of thunder and lightning.

One wrong move, and the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree could be struck dead.

"Never mind, I have three trees; I’ll try it on one first."

Muttering to himself, Zhou Changwang finally stopped hesitating and guided his Spiritual Power within.

In an instant, the Spirit Talisman shattered, and a lightning bolt, formed by the effect of the Talisman, appeared in the blink of an eye.

It then, under his guidance, directly struck the right-side Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.

Sizzle!

The lightning descended.

It struck fiercely on the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.

The entire Thunder Spirit Rice Tree shook violently for a moment, with half the branches and leaves being struck off. The tree had large scorch marks left behind, with a lot of Thunder and Lightning power coursing through it, faintly exhibiting lightning flowers, which dissipated only after a long time...

"Did I fail?"

Zhou Changwang’s heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to examine it.

Feeling the life force inside the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree rapidly depleting, he immediately saw the tree’s leaves quickly turning yellow.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

In a mere ten breaths, half of the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree’s leaves had turned yellow.

Zhou Changwang raised his hand slightly, intending to apply the Fertilization Technique to remedy it, or use the Withered Wood Revival Technique to treat it, but then paused.

Even if saved, so what?

If it won’t produce Spirit Rice, it’ll ultimately just be a dead tree.

The crucial part is that it isn’t as long-lived as ordinary trees; its growth cycle is only one year.

At this moment, he even doubted whether it was truly a Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.

"Wait a minute..."

Suddenly, Zhou Changwang hurriedly stepped forward to carefully inspect the top of the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.

A tender shoot suddenly emerged, quickly growing and branching into more than a dozen slender branches, each topped with small white flowers that appeared like shy little girls, waiting to bloom.

Then came a second bud, and a third...

"It’s blossoming?

The Thunder Spirit Rice Tree is blossoming?"

Zhou Changwang was stunned.

Then a look of immense delight appeared on his face.

The flowering of the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree held a significant meaning.

It indicated that his previous idea was feasible.

The Power of Thunder and Lightning could indeed help the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree grow, bloom Spirit Flowers, and produce Spirit Rice.

In essence, it meant he had successfully cultivated the Thunder Spirit Rice.

Then, as if recalling something, he began to apply the Withered Wood Revival Technique.

Rune structures gradually formed under his control of Spiritual Power.

And, at the moment the last rune successfully formed.

Buzz~!

The magic was cast forth by him.

Withered Wood Revival Technique +1

Then specks of Spiritual Light directly sprinkled onto the lightning-struck Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.

In a short time, the previously yellowed leaves rapidly turned green under the nourishment of multiple forces of Vitality, and even the scorched areas started showing ’new skin,’ covering the scars.

Meanwhile.

Zhou Changwang felt countless insights about the Withered Wood Revival Technique surge into his mind. In that instant, he felt as if he had cast this magic hundreds or thousands of times already, gaining deeper understanding and insight into the rune structures of this magic.

In just a moment, he understood.

The Withered Wood Revival Technique had upgraded.

It advanced from the Entry Stage to the Mastery Level.

Looking at the Attribute Panel, it was indeed the case.

In the magic section, it clearly displayed the words Withered Wood Revival Technique (Mastery 1/200).

"This could be considered a double boon."

As Zhou Changwang marveled, another Withered Wood Revival Technique descended.

Seeing the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree fully rejuvenated, he quickly tested the Fertilization Technique again.

With its miraculous effects in healing, the Withered Wood Revival Technique was unmatched, but in accelerating the growth of Spiritual Materials, the Fertilization Technique was more suited.

Each technique has its specialty.

The effects of the two techniques were fundamentally different.

"Although the branches and leaves grew somewhat, those few buds showed almost no change.

This means that the Fertilization Technique cannot make them grow?

Do they require something else to develop?

Perhaps, the Power of Thunder and Lightning?"

Looking at the changes in the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but show a thoughtful expression.
