I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 70: 552 Grains of Thunder Spirit Rice (Part 2)

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: 552 Grains of Thunder Spirit Rice (Part 2)

"It’s a pity that my progress in cultivation is not significant.

This is still with the help of the Replenishing Essence Pill, which increased the efficiency of my cultivation."

Zhou Changwang glanced at his own cultivation level—it was still far from reaching the peak of the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Regarding this, he felt somewhat helpless.

The speed of a cultivator’s progress is often tied to their Spirit Root Talent.

His Spirit Root Talent determined his cultivation speed, which made it naturally slow.

Even though he now had a Cultivation Secret Room, where the density of Spiritual Qi was more than double that of the marketplace’s outskirts, it was impossible for any significant change to occur in a short period.

His current level of power was more due to his constant consumption of Spirit Pills, aiding his cultivation progress.

A single Spirit Revitalizing Pill could greatly enhance his cultivation speed; the Spiritual Power refined from it was equivalent to half a month’s worth of his cultivation results.

The Yellow Spirit Pill was even more effective; after consumption, the refined Spiritual Qi was equivalent to nearly twenty days of cultivation.

This is why he was able to elevate his cultivation rapidly to the current state of (55/100) after breaking through the Qi Refining Third Layer.

"Without the Spirit Pills now, at my cultivation speed, combined with the Spiritual Qi density of the Cultivation Secret Room, I would need at least a year to reach the peak of the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Technique is nearing Great Success.

Perhaps by then, my cultivation speed will see a massive improvement again."

Zhou Changwang silently calculated, then his gaze shifted with a hint of joy.

His Five Elements Technique was just twenty-five points away from reaching Great Success from Small Success; that is, after operating the Five Elements Technique for another twenty-five circulations, it would advance to the Great Success Stage.

This speed was quite impressive. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

It should be noted that when he cultivated the Five Elements Technique to Small Success, it could run automatically.

Although the speed was countless times slower than manual control, taking two hours for one circulation, it still allowed for five to six circulations a day automatically, and combined with his own cultivation of another five to six circulations daily, it totaled to over ten circulations.

In just two days, his Five Elements Technique would reach Great Success.

"The Five Elements Technique at Small Success has the ability to automatically circulate and slowly restore Spiritual Power. What about at Great Success?"

Zhou Changwang looked forward to it before exiting the Cultivation Secret Room.

Then he stood in the courtyard and began practicing the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques.

It must be said, the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques truly lived up to its name as a Body Cultivation Technique. After spending several days mastering it, he finally experienced the powerful effects of this Magic Technique.

Indeed, the effects were exceedingly strong.

Even at the Entry Level stage, it had at least doubled his physical strength and bodily toughness.

Of course, it couldn’t withstand blades and swords without harm.

But he felt that if he used only physical strength in battles, in his current state, he wouldn’t be so embarrassed against that couple of Tribulation Cultivators.

Despite the fact that cultivating this Body Cultivation Technique was indeed difficult, leaving him dripping with sweat as if he had gone through a strenuous exercise each time,

after one circulation, the sense of exhilaration and ease it brought was incomparable.

After completing two circulations, Zhou Changwang ended the exercises and then performed the Cleaning Technique.

His body quickly became clean and dry again.

Then, he made his way to the backyard.

Half a month had passed, and the Spirit Gathering Grass in the five-acre Spirit Field was almost all thriving.

Occasionally, some Spirit Gathering Grass faced growth issues or pest infestations, but thanks to his timely detection and use of the Withered Wood Revival Technique, they were saved from disaster.

Now, as he observed the lush Spirit Gathering Grass in the Spirit Field, Zhou Changwang felt a wave of satisfaction.

"In just over two months, these Spirit Gathering Grass will mature.

Once they are sold, I will have a considerable amount of Spirit Stones."

Zhou Changwang walked among the Spirit Field, feeling that all the previous efforts were worthwhile.

For a Spirit Farmer, the greatest satisfaction is seeing the spiritual materials they planted grow successfully.

"Although the Spirit Gathering Grass still needs two and a half months to mature,

the Thunder Spirit Rice has already matured."

Zhou Changwang quickly stepped up to the three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees, looking at the thumb-sized, jade-grey Spirit Rice grains that had formed on these trees, his heart surged with excitement.

Over the past month, from the inconspicuous, dull Spirit Rice, they had sprouted roots, grown, and borne fruit...

And in the last half month, he steadfastly placed six Thunder Talismans on them daily; in terms of Spirit Stones, it had cost more than fifty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Not to mention the time and effort he had invested.

All of it had been challenging.

The joy of the harvest now left his breath slightly quickened.

He gathered all the Thunder Spirit Rice from the Thunder Spirit Rice Trees.

Feeling the hefty weight of each plump Thunder Spirit Rice grain as they fell into his hands, with each containing dense and abundant Spiritual Qi, he was truly filled with satisfaction and delight.

"In total, I harvested five hundred and fifty-two grains of Thunder Spirit Rice.

The weight is eleven pounds, with ten grains making up two ounces."

After a while, Zhou Changwang finally calmed down as he looked at the Thunder Spirit Rice in the bag. Considering it for a moment, he set aside fifty grains, about a pound.

After working so hard for so long, he certainly wanted to take some out for a taste.

As for the rest, they needed to be kept as seeds.

Although he still couldn’t judge the value of Thunder Spirit Rice, it was almost extinct as a rare spiritual material in the Cultivation Realm, so its value must be extremely high.

Even if he didn’t dare to sell it in the short term, just keeping it for himself to eat was better than buying ordinary Spirit Rice from outside.

"But before cultivation, it’s necessary to learn a thunder skill.

Moreover, it has to be an area attack thunder skill."

Yet, as he looked at the bag of about ten pounds of Thunder Spirit Rice, he felt a sense of helplessness.

He knew that in the Cultivation Realm, some people used Array Power to gather the Power of Thunder and Lightning to cultivate thunder-attributed Spirit Plants.

This method was also applicable to cultivating Thunder Spirit Rice Trees.

But the cost was too high.

Not to mention the materials for Array Formation.

Just hiring an Array Master was something he couldn’t afford.

Array Masters had an even higher status in the Cultivation Realm than Alchemy Masters.

Thus, twenty days later, Zhou Changwang finally went out again.

...

Almost a month had passed since the chaotic night.

The Fengming Dock Marketplace had long since returned to its former prosperity.

People come and go, life and death continue.

Like the Fengming Dock Marketplace, which had existed for over a hundred years, as long as resources remained ample, cultivators would continue to gather.

Therefore, when Zhou Changwang entered the Independent Cultivator Marketplace, although he saw fewer familiar faces and more unfamiliar cultivators, the liveliness was undiminished.

Of course, this time Zhou Changwang wasn’t here to buy things.

He directly approached a Market Guard at the entrance of the marketplace, handed over fifty Broken Spirits, and obtained a token, allowing him to find a place to set up a stall within the marketplace.

As for the stall location?

The front row was certainly out of the question; those were fixed stalls, with annual rent costing several hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. His kind of stall was temporary, paying spirit stones each visit, with many setting up once every ten days or half a month.

Thus, there’s no need to buy those fixed stalls.

Obviously, due to this, good stall locations had to be fought for.

If he arrived early, he might select a good spot, but now, with people coming and going, he could only keep moving further back.

Fortunately, he was lucky; just as he got to a central-back location, a stall owner had sold out and was packing up.

Zhou Changwang seized the opportunity and immediately sat down.

A few cultivators preparing to seize the stall from afar saw him and could only sit back down, disappointed.

Zhou Changwang didn’t mind; he pulled out a sheet of leather cloth to spread over his stall, and then took out stacks of Spirit Talismans to display on the stall.

Next, he found a wooden board and wrote a large line of characters.

Clearance Sale!

Below was a smaller line of words.

Package One: Two Light Body Talismans, Two Body-Protecting Talismans, Two Cleaning Talismans, matched with One Peaceful Residence Talisman, One Fireball Talisman, One Thunder Talisman, all for just one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone.

Package Two: Two Exorcism Talismans, Two Peaceful Residence Talismans, Two Soul Summoning Talismans, matched with One High-quality Water Spirit Talisman, One High-quality Fireball Talisman, One High-quality Thunder Talisman, all for just three Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Package Three...

The key feature was quantity and affordability.

Anyway, his success rate in Talisman Making was extremely high; even before the Entry Level, he could produce nine Spirit Talismans from ten Talisman Papers. Even selling cheaply, he still made a profit.

After setting up the sign, Zhou Changwang was about to start shouting when a cultivator, looking sly and sneaky, approached and asked softly, "How’s the quality of your Spirit Talismans here?"

"Rest assured about the quality, crafted by experienced masters with years of Talisman Making experience, absolutely above standard.

Buy with confidence, use with peace of mind...

Most importantly, it’s cheap and cost-effective...

Look, this quality, this quantity, and this package combo? Where else can you find..."

Zhou Changwang didn’t use any Sound Insulation Technique; when setting up a stall, the louder the shout, the more people you attract.

He had undergone the great baptism of live broadcasting in his past life, making his rhetoric quite eloquent.

Almost instantly, the Loose Cultivator was tempted, and without bargaining, gritted his teeth and said, "Package One, give me one set."

"Got it!"

Zhou Changwang responded with a smile, quickly selecting the corresponding talismans and handing them over while accepting the Lower-Grade Spirit Stone the other party handed him.

His shouting obviously attracted passing cultivators, and soon another middle-aged cultivator came to inquire about prices...

Therefore, in a short period, his stall was crowded with people.

After all, his stall truly offered great value.

Even those initially uninterested in buying Spirit Talismans couldn’t resist their attractive package prices, ending up purchasing one or two Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Thus, in just half an hour, the Spirit Talismans on his stall were completely sold out.

Of course, Zhou Changwang still had Spirit Talismans on him.

But most were High-quality Spirit Talismans, which he didn’t dare to take out fully.
