"According to Senior Chen Yushu, these three are Spirit Rice Seeds.
And to be valued by him so highly, these so-called Spirit Rice Seeds are definitely not simple."
Zhou Changwang scrutinized the three seeds.
He knew that even among Spirit Rice, there were distinctions.
For instance, the Linghe Rice he cultivated was considered the most ordinary among Spirit Rice, usually exchanging a piece of Spirit Stone for ten pounds. Although the price had dropped lately, it was still not affordable for everyone.
Besides Linghe Rice, there was also Crescent Rice, five pounds for one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone, Blood Red Rice, two pounds for one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone, and even Spirit Fruit Rice, which cost one pound per Lower-Grade Spirit Stone...
Of course, the more expensive the price, the better the taste, and the more efficient the absorption for cultivation.
Even within the same Spirit Rice, there were quality distinctions. For example, the same Linghe Rice, if cultivated by a Spirit Plant Master and selected over generations, could break through the grade limitation and reach Middle Grade.
Middle-Grade Spirit Rice not only tastes better but is more abundant in Spiritual Qi, allowing cultivators to advance faster in their cultivation.
It is said that Foundation Establishment True Cultivators typically consume Middle-Grade Spirit Rice specially cultivated by certain Spirit Plant Masters.
"Unfortunately, these three Spirit Rice Seeds have lost all spiritual nature, lifeless and devoid of vitality.
Even Senior Chen Yushu struggled to cultivate them successfully and revive them, so it is even more impossible for me with my means."
Zhou Changwang sighed as he glanced at his Attribute Panel.
No matter how he looked at it, only the Fertilization Technique might have an effect on these three Spirit Rice Seeds.
This Fertilization Technique is a Spirit Plant Technique essential for Spirit Plant Masters, primarily used to inject Spiritual Qi into Spirit Plants to aid their growth.
A skilled Spirit Plant Master can make a seed bloom and bear fruit in a day until it withers...
These three Spirit Rice Seeds are lifeless and devoid of spiritual nature, with a high likelihood of being dead seeds.
But since he had already promised Chen Yushu to give it a try, he did not give up immediately.
What if!
He was also very curious about these Spirit Rice Seeds.
If he could successfully cultivate them, not to mention Chen Yushu's reward, the seeds themselves would be of significant value.
Maybe others failed to cultivate them because their Fertilization Technique level was too low, but what about if it was at Mastery, Small Success, Great Success, or even Perfection?
Would it then be possible to turn decay into magic?
"If it doesn't work, it can at least serve as practice for the magic."
With that thought, Zhou Changwang began to control the Spiritual Power within him, condensing runes and casting the Fertilization Technique.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After five breaths, the magic formed.
Fertilization Technique +1
He flicked his finger, and specks of Spiritual Light quickly scattered and surged into those three seeds.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Unfortunately, like mud sinking into the sea, the three seeds showed no movement.
Zhou Changwang was not surprised.
His Fertilization Technique was only at Entry Level, making it impossible to revive these three seeds.
He did not pause and once again cast the Fertilization Technique.
One time, two times, three times...
Each night, he had the habit of practicing magic.
Previously, he practiced the Geng Metal Finger.
But once the Geng Metal Finger reached Mastery, it caused quite a commotion and considerably damaged the ground. Now, a part of his room was filled with holes and broken earth.
Switching to practicing the Fertilization Technique was much easier.
There was no longer a concern of being heard and causing unnecessary trouble.
Fertilization Technique +1
Buzz!
Suddenly, Zhou Changwang's hand paused.
An instant flood of cultivation experience related to the Fertilization Technique rose in his mind, as if he had practiced it hundreds of times before in that moment.
With that, countless insights and understandings regarding the Fertilization Technique emerged.
"The Fertilization Technique has leveled up.
It has reached the Mastery level."
Zhou Changwang immediately understood, displaying a slight smile on his face.
Compared to the Geng Metal Finger, the mana consumption for the Fertilization Technique was much smaller, and thanks to the 'Cultivation Mode' effect, he had enough Spiritual Power within him to practice over thirty times.
This allowed him to elevate the Fertilization Technique from its former (Entry 69/100) to its present (Mastery 1/200).
He could not hold back from glancing at his Attribute Panel.
Name: Zhou Changwang
Lifespan: 17/75
Cultivation: Second-Layer Qi Cultivation (37/100)
Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Technique (Mastery 17/200)
Skills: Spirit Rain Skill (Mastery 198/200), Cleaning Technique (Entry Level 62/100), Fertilization Technique (Mastery 1/200), Geng Metal Finger (Mastery 124/200)
...
"The Fertilization Technique is proficient, and the Spirit Rain Skill is also about to break through into the next realm. Even the Geng Metal Finger, given today's progress, will only take two more days..."
Zhou Changwang could not help but feel elated.
As for his cultivation.
Although progress was slow.
He saw improvement every day, and he planned to eat Spirit Rice and practice with Spirit Insects three times a day from now on, which should further accelerate his cultivation speed.
The five pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones he had were also one of his sources of confidence.
At least compared to the impoverished state of the past few days.
His life seemed to be improving.
The only problem was.
"Father has been missing for more than twenty days."
A trace of worry suddenly appeared on Zhou Changwang's face.
People have feelings, and merging all the original memories of this body, he knew that his father worked so hard and dared to venture into the mountains with cultivators to hunt demon beasts all for his sake.
Regardless of the reason, he had to bear this responsibility; deep inside, he was genuinely concerned about his father's safety.
"Maybe, they just went deeper into the mountains and should be back in a few days."
Frowning, Zhou Changwang could only console himself.
But thinking about the dangers in the Cultivation Realm... for him, a Spiritual Farmer Loose Cultivator, it was bearable enough—living with nothing but a plot of land, protected by the patrolling Spirit Plant Hall cultivators every few days. He didn't need to face too many dangers directly.
But his father went with Demon Hunting Cultivators into the mountains not only needing to be wary of those strong and terrifying demon beasts but also any passing cultivators.
Even the fellow cultivators in his team might turn on each other for benefits...
In the Cultivation Realm, such instances were far too frequent.
Every year, many Demon Hunting Cultivators lose their lives outside due to various reasons.
Not to mention, his father didn't possess a Spiritual Root and wasn't a cultivator...
...
Suppressing the worry in his heart, deciding to ask someone to investigate tomorrow, Zhou Changwang snapped back to reality.
He looked at the three seeds in his hand and lost the intention to continue fertilization. Moreover, there wasn't much Spiritual Power left in him, so he resealed them, sat cross-legged on the bed, and resumed the Five Elements Technique to restore Spiritual Power while cultivating.
The next day, after a bowl of Spirit Rice Porridge, Zhou Changwang felt a hint of satisfaction both physically and mentally.
After glancing at the sky, he rushed out the door.
...
Please save this, ask for recommendation votes, the reward is still empty, hopefully those with ability can support me a little!!
