Chapter 129: Chapter 114: Sudden Enlightenment, the Powerful Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique!
[The Dew Collecting Technique involves absorbing the dew that condenses on spirit plants every early morning, which not only nourishes the spirit plants themselves, accelerating their growth, but is also a valuable medicinal ingredient capable of being used to refine Wound Healing Pills.]
[The next day, you found Luo Shuying and explained the situation to her, speaking the coded phrase to gain her trust.]
[With her help, you obtained medicinal ingredients from the vault of the Descending Sect, but regrettably, you did not find the Snow Bone Ginseng.]
[Having no choice, you had to temporarily set aside the search for the Snow Bone Ginseng and focused on studying the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique.]
[So, in the following months, you tried to learn the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique and attempted to master these two spells. You gained a lot from the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique and increasingly felt that this Dao Art was unfathomably profound.]
[Months passed, and you had only grasped the basics of the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, not even managing to perform both spells.]
[However, during these months you refined many elixirs and successfully advanced to the position of an Elder within the Descending Sect.]
[As an Elder, you had more freedom with your time, so you dedicated yourself even more to researching the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, deciding to first master the Dew Collecting Technique.]
[In the second year, as you continued to study diligently, you finally achieved a basic understanding of the Dew Collecting Technique.]
[Each morning, you rose on time to collect the spiritual dew condensing on the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass and cast your spell.]
[You noticed that the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass was flourishing, growing much faster than before.]
[In addition, the Dew Collecting Technique greatly benefited the other spirit plants in the spirit field; the Divine Power Vine grew even better, the Spirit Grains in the field became more delicious and tasty, and even the Gathering Spirit Flower, after having the Dew Collecting Technique used on it, could reciprocate with more Spiritual Energy.]
[Therefore, you became even more motivated, immersing yourself daily in mastering the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique and learning the Dew Collecting Technique, feeling that the rewards were substantial.]
[In the third year, one day while you were using the Dew Collecting Technique, you suddenly felt an epiphany, as if you could sense the emotions of every blade of grass and tree around you. You realized something, immediately sat down cross-legged, and digested this insight.]
[A day later, you slowly opened your eyes and found that your mastery of the Dew Collecting Technique had surged forward—you had successfully reached the Minor Achievement level!]
Su Xing, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Damn! Finally triggered a serendipitous enlightenment! Isn’t the probability for this talent too low? It took almost three or four simulations to trigger once… on average, it would take sixty to seventy years to have one occurrence…”
“It’s a bit of a pity though, it would have been great if it happened while refining the Divine Strength Pill! By then I would have been able to master the refinement of the Divine Strength Pill!”
Su Xing shook his head slightly and continued to look at the simulation panel.
[After the Dew Collecting Technique reached Minor Achievement, you were able to plant spirit plants even faster. According to your estimates, the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass would only take forty years to mature, doubling the speed!]
[Every day, in addition to farming, you had plenty of time, so you decided to use this time to first refine the Soul Condensing Pills that Luo Shuying needed.]
[Several months later, you handed the refined Soul Condensing Pills to Luo Shuying, and she thanked you many times, further deepening her trust in you.]
[In the fourth year, you felt the time was ripe, and staying in the Descending Sect wouldn’t bring you any more benefits. And without the enhancement from the Demon Emperor’s flesh and blood, your body’s strength was improving slowly, so you decided to defect from the Descending Sect.]
[Coincidentally, at that time Luo Shuying had successfully broken through to Legendary Level, and you were more confident about your defection, also planning to take the chance to kill the damned Zong Elder.]
[You had contacted the higher-ups of Great Xia in advance, and on the day of your defection, indeed, several protectors and Elders came to hunt you down.]
[The only thing that disappointed you was that the damned Zong Elder still didn’t show up, and you could barely kill a few protectors and Elders to vent your frustration.]
[After joining the Great Xia Military, you handed over the hundred thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills you had accumulated over the years, adding twenty thousand Grandmaster Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country!]
[At the same time, you began to search through the Great Xia treasury for precious medicinal ingredients, hoping to find any information on Snow Bone Ginseng.]
[You did not find the Snow Bone Ginseng, but you collected many common spiritual medicines and continued to refine medicinal ingredients for the Great Xia Military.]
[In the meantime, you were refining elixirs while trying to learn the Earth Dragon Technique.]
[In the fifth year, with your help, Great Xia Country birthed another ten thousand Grandmaster Level powerhouses and hundreds of Heavenly King Level powerhouses.]
[Simultaneously, your understanding of the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique deepened, and you finally made a start at the Earth Dragon Technique.]
[You also finally understood what the Earth Dragon was. The Earth Dragon was actually earthworms, but these earthworms were full of spirit. Under the nourishment of Spiritual Energy and special nurturing secret techniques, these spiritual earthworms could even grow to several meters long, resembling pythons, and only then could they be termed Earth Dragons.]
[But Earth Dragons are close to their owners, actively helping to fertilize the land, and as long as you have a contract with a sufficiently spiritual Earth Dragon, the rest of the spiritual earthworms will obey orders, loosening the soil in the spirit field while the spiritual plants grow extremely quickly.]
[Besides controlling Earth Dragons, the Earth Dragon Technique could also be actively used to change the surrounding land’s structure and shape to benefit farming even more.]
[Therefore, the Earth Dragon Technique is actually a comprehensive spell, capable of not only commanding spirit pets but also casting Earth Type spells, offering both offense and defense…]
[In the sixth year, while studying the Earth Dragon Technique, you also decided to learn about the previously understood Spirit Gathering Array. This time, you wanted not just to understand the principles behind formations, but also to master how to set up a Spirit Gathering Array.]
Su Xing marveled as he continued to read.
“This Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique truly is a divinely gifted Dao Art!”
“Not only does it possess healing spells like the Dew of Spirit spell, but it also includes the Earth Dragon spell for commanding Spirit Pets, and even the Spirit Gathering Array formation is encompassed within it…”
“If one were to thoroughly master the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, the benefits would be boundless!”
Su Xing slightly shook his head; previously, he always overlooked this Dao Art, knowing only that its grade was quite high, but he had never thoroughly pondered it.
Because compared to the nurturing technique, Alchemy appeared to be a faster way to accumulate energy and was more beneficial for the enhancement of his strength.
However, upon closer inspection now, he realized that the nurturing technique and Alchemy were indeed complementary.
The nurturing technique could better cultivate Spirit Plants and command Spirit Pets, thereby improving the refinement of elixirs, to an infinite benefit!
“This Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique is indeed profound, but learning it is too difficult. If I can master even a fraction, it will definitely be of great advantage!”
Su Xing thought so in his heart and silently increased the priority of studying the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique.
Su Xing continued to simulate.
“While you were learning the spells within the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, you tried to set up a Spirit Gathering Array. Setting up the formation proved more difficult than you imagined, and it required a large amount of Spirit Stones.”
“Fortunately, you have kept those one thousand Spirit Stones unused, and you begin to attempt to set up the formation.”
“That same year, you exhausted all the Essence-Nourishing Herbs and other Spiritual Medicines brought from the Descending Sect, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level powerhouses and hundreds of Heavenly King Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country.”
“In the seventh year, the number of Spirit Stones in your hand dwindled, not from cultivation, but because each failed attempt at the Spirit Gathering Array consumed some Spirit Stones.”
“In just two years’ time, you had less than two hundred Spirit Stones left.”
“Thus, you had to learn the setup of the Spirit Gathering Array with even greater caution and focus.”
“In the eighth year, after three years of effort, you finally mastered the basics of the Spirit Gathering Array. You used a few Spirit Stones to set up a small Spirit Gathering Array near the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass, which then grew more pleasantly.”
“In your estimation, the Dew of Spirit spell, the Earth Dragon spell, and the small Spirit Gathering Array, working simultaneously, along with your daily nurturing with Spiritual Power and the bonus from your plant affinity talent, would allow the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass to mature in just twenty to thirty years.”
“In the ninth year, the Great Xia Military slew two Demon Emperors, from which you successfully obtained two hundred jin of Flesh Essence.”
“Therefore, in addition to daily farming and studying the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, you began to focus on enhancing your own Cultivation Level.”
“In the tenth year, after consuming Flesh Essence for a year, the strength of your physical body increased slightly. In just one year, your strength increased by 200,000 jin to reach 5.2 million jin!”
“That same year, you began to attempt the refinement of Divine Strength Pills, hoping to try your luck and trigger another fortuitous epiphany.”
“In the eleventh year, with the ongoing intensification of the war at Demon-Subduing Pass, every year saw the death and injury of Emperor Level powerhouses, and you also acquired a stable source of Flesh Essence.”
“This year, your physical strength reached 5.5 million jin!”
Su Xing saw this and was delighted.
“As long as my strength continues to grow, that’s good! It’s only increased by about ten percent in two years, which is somewhat slow, but at least it’s a stable increase. This indicates that my body hasn’t reached the limit of its potential yet!”
Su Xing felt somewhat fortunate that, in addition to a high limit for his strength, an abundant supply of Flesh Essence from the Demon Emperor and likely his Divine Strength talent, were important factors.
The better one’s basic physique, the higher the potential upper limit of one’s bodily strength.
Su Xing continued to simulate.
“In the twelfth year, you spent three hours each day refining a batch of Divine Strength Pills. You were meticulous in your refinement, hoping to trigger an epiphanic talent through constant refinement.”
“That same year, your physical strength increased by 180,000 jin. As your strength continuously improved, you felt that your potential limit was gradually being reached, and the rate of strength increase became slower and slower.”
“In the thirteenth year, you continued to attempt the refinement of Divine Strength Pills. After three years of refinement, you had only two Divine Strength Vines left and believed the chances of success were not high.”
“In the fourteenth year, your physical strength increased by 150,000 jin, and the total strength of your body had reached 6 million jin!”
“This had far surpassed the initial Niu Ruolie, approaching the strength of the ancient Witch Clan, as mentioned in legends.”
“In the fifteenth year, after consuming the Flesh Essence, the strength of your body increased by 100,000 jin in one year; you felt the increments of your improvement getting lesser.”
“One day, while you were refining the Divine Strength Pill, you suddenly had an insight and fell into a mysterious state…”
