My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique, Evil Insects Sprout in the Spirit Field

Hu Bugui is gone.

But Xu Changqing kept the idea of opening a market during the Spring Festival in mind.

Even if you don’t get anything good in return, you can still join in the fun.

Moreover, this is inside the Dongting Immortal Sect, so there is no danger at all.

As evening fell, after eating rice cooked with spirit rice, Xu Changqing sat cross-legged on the bed.

Holding the jade pendant containing the [Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique] in his right hand, he continued to study diligently.

After about half an hour, the attribute panel appeared before my eyes.

Xu Changqing

【male】

[18 years old]

[Wood Spirit Root]

Mid-stage Qi Refining

[Low-Level Evergreen Technique (Level 5)]

【Lingmi Wine (Beginner) ↑】

[Advanced Wood Spirit Entanglement (Level 1) ↑]

(Effect 1: Weeds turn into green vines)

(Effect 2: Tensile strength of one pound per strand)

(Effect 3: Temporarily binds the target)

[Remaining lifespan: 5140 days]

“Finally!” Xu Changqing’s eyes lit up.

For the past month, I have been practicing during the day and studying continuously at night.

The rest time was compressed to the extreme.

Finally, all the hard work paid off, and I learned my first high-level spell.

Slightly circulate the spiritual energy within your body.

The illusory image of the character “木” (wood) immediately appeared on the palm of his right hand.

This is the spirit seal for the [Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique].

It seems impossible to remove, but it will automatically hide once the spiritual energy is dissipated.

Xu Changqing decisively got out of bed, hurriedly went outside, and randomly found a vacant lot overgrown with weeds.

He simply poured his spiritual energy into the [Wood] character spirit seal.

Suddenly, the weeds underfoot began to sway violently.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Soon, one weed after another transformed into vines and sprang up.

The more you have, the more spiritual energy you consume.

A wisp of spiritual energy can support about ten vines.

A single vine has a tensile strength of one pound.

Ten pieces equal ten jin (a unit of weight), and so on.

Therefore, the more vines there are, the greater the pulling force.

With Xu Changqing’s current six strands of spiritual power, he can support at least fifty vines.

Hold for three minutes.

But Xu Changqing felt a little disappointed.

As expected, the Wood Spirit Root is not suitable for combat in the early stages.

It is much weaker than the metal and fire spiritual roots.

Even if it’s the only offensive spell used by the Wood Spirit Root Qi Refining stage cultivator of the [Dongting Immortal Sect].

Nothing particularly outstanding.

Then, Xu Changqing walked to the other side.

The vines around him followed closely behind.

Soon we arrived at a poplar tree that one person could encircle.

Xu Changqing’s heart skipped a beat, and the weeds under his feet immediately began to entangle around him.

Click!

Click!

Instantly, marks appeared on the surface of the poplar tree’s trunk.

Xu Changqing observed this and thought it was alright.

[Would you like to consume 2233 days of your lifespan to upgrade the Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique from level one to level two?]

“As expected, high-level cultivation techniques consume more lifespan.” Xu Changqing was not surprised at all.

The most urgent task is to improve our ability to protect ourselves.

No matter how much you spend, it’s an investment in your own security.

He immediately selected “agree”.

[Successfully consumed 2233 days of lifespan to upgrade the Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique to level two]

[Remaining lifespan: 2907 days]

[Advanced Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique (Level 2)]

(Effect 1: Evolve into Poison Stinger)

(Effect 2: Ten pounds of tensile strength per single strand)

(Effect 3: Persistently binds the target)

(Effect 4: Paralyzing toxin)

“It can actually evolve?!” Xu Changqing was very surprised.

He looked down.

They discovered that all the vines had shrunk back into limp, weak growth.

Immediately afterwards, another wisp of spiritual energy was injected into the Wood Spirit Seal.

Instantly, the weeds rapidly evolved into black, thorny poisonous plants.

When they entwined around the poplar tree again, they were indeed different.

The dense, sharp spikes covered it up, instantly creating one pinhole-sized hole after another.

With a simple pull, large chunks of bark can be easily torn off.

It was shocking in just a few moments.

Although the “paralytic toxin” has not yet been tested.

However, judging from the current situation, the power of the second level of the Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique is limited.

It is obviously several times stronger than the first floor.

This also means that Xu Changqing now has a certain ability to protect himself.

Next, he turned his attention to the attribute panel.

【Lingmi Wine (Beginner) ↑】

(Effect 1: Increases spiritual energy absorption speed by 5% within one hour)

Since the [Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique] can only be upgraded to level two for the time being.

Why not upgrade it as well?

[Would you like to consume 888 days of your lifespan to upgrade your Spirit Rice Wine skill from Beginner to Proficient?]

“yes.”

Immediately, all sorts of experiences and techniques related to winemaking emerged.

Before long, Xu Changqing had fully grasped the meaning.

[Successfully consumed 888 days of lifespan to upgrade the Spirit Rice Wine skill from beginner to proficient]

[Remaining lifespan: 2019 days]

【Spirit Rice Wine (Proficient) ↑】

(Effect 1: Increases spiritual energy absorption speed by 10% within one hour)

(Effect 2: Increases the speed of learning low-level skills by 5% when slightly tipsy)

“Not bad.” Xu Changqing nodded.

This spirit rice wine is, after all, one of the most common wines in the cultivation world.

The results are actually quite good.

[Would you like to consume 1566 days of your lifespan to upgrade your Spirit Rice Wine skill to Mastery?]

“Let’s continue.” Xu Changqing was accepting.

In an instant, a wealth of experience and skills emerged.

[Successfully consumed 1566 days of lifespan to raise the skill level of Spirit Rice Wine to Mastery]

to continue reading the exciting content!

[Remaining lifespan: 453 days]

【Lingmi Wine (Proficient)】

(Effect 1: Increases spiritual energy absorption speed by 15% within one hour)

(Effect 2: Spiritual energy consumption during the use of wood-type techniques -10%)

(Effect 3: Increases the speed of learning low-level skills by 10% when slightly tipsy)

(Negative effect 1: Long-term consumption may slow down reaction speed)

“It actually has a negative effect.” Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow.

However, the increased speed of spiritual energy absorption is actually a bonus.

Combined with the 50% cultivation speed bonus from the Evergreen Technique (Level 5).

I feel that I will soon be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

…

In the days that followed, Xu Changqing did not let his guard down.

I immerse myself in cultivation every day.

Finally, two months after becoming a formal disciple.

The seventh strand of spiritual energy was born.

Thus, we are not far from the late stage of Qi Refining.

This cultivation speed has far surpassed that of Lin An and the others.

They even caught up with those veteran spirit farmers who had been in the core area of the spirit field for several years.

These people have abundant resources, plus at least two layers of the Evergreen Technique to help them.

Some people even advanced to the third level.

But compared to Xu Changqing, he still falls short.

After all, his Evergreen Technique had already been upgraded to the “fifth level”.

The cultivation speed increased by a full 50%.

“Strange, why are these spiritual plants covered with yellowish-brown spots?” Xu Changqing came to the edge of the field, just about to start cultivating, when he made an unexpected discovery.

He immediately sensed it and his expression changed slightly.

It turns out that these yellowish-brown dots are actually live insects.

They have occupied the vast majority of the second-grade spirit fields.

The trunk and ears of the sacred rice were almost completely covered with it.

This was the first time Xu Changqing had encountered such a situation.

In the past, when we were outside the spirit field, nothing like this had happened for almost a year.

After thinking it over, he immediately headed towards the Core Management Office, hoping to consult with Elder Hua.

Upon arriving at the mountaintop palace, I noticed many fellow disciples coming and going.

“Old Hua!” Xu Changqing saw him again.

“Xu… Changqing?” Elder Hua had a vague impression of him, remembering that he could grow top-grade spirit rice.

“Yes, it’s me.” Xu Changqing nodded hurriedly.

Old Hua smiled and said, “You probably came here because of those insects, right?”

Xu Changqing was surprised: “Yes, the spirit field is full of yellowish-brown insects.”

Hua Lao explained, “Those yellowish-brown insects are called ‘Winter Awakening Insects.’ They only awaken in winter when the temperature reaches a certain level and then crawl out of the soil.”

“Winter-awakening insects?” Xu Changqing looked slightly bewildered.

Elder Hua nodded slightly: “These insects only appear in spirit fields of grade two and above because they have been dormant in the black soil for a long time.”

“I see.” Xu Changqing realized, then asked, “How do we solve this?”

“There are only two ways.” Elder Hua paused for a moment, then continued, “The first way is to find disciples with the Golden Spirit Root and have them come to kill the insects.”

The second method is to have a disciple with a water-elemental root perform the [Minor Cloud Rain Technique].

“What if we just ignore it?” Xu Changqing asked tentatively.

Hua Lao said with a hint of seriousness, “Regardless, although your spiritual plants won’t be completely eaten, the yield will drop by at least two-thirds, and you won’t be able to complete the quarterly task.”

Xu Changqing said helplessly, “It seems we have no choice but to ask someone for help.”

“Go over there and post the task, then choose the specific reward. If someone accepts it, dealing with these little bugs will be quick,” Elder Hua pointed to the other side of the palace.

This time, there were more people.

Therefore, you can see many disciples who come here specifically to work part-time.

Xu Changqing glanced at it and felt that the process was similar to that in his previous life.

Each person has their own window, and then they queue up.

Having no other choice, Xu Changqing had to select a team with fewer people.

After about ten minutes, it was finally his turn.

“What do you want, fellow Daoist?” the female disciple opposite asked with a smile.

Xu Changqing immediately said, “I want to issue a mission to kill the [Winter Awakening Insect].”

The female disciple asked, “And what about the reward?”

“What’s the minimum?” Xu Changqing didn’t know much about this.

“Spirit stones or spirit rice?”

“Spirit Rice”.

“First rank or second rank?”

“First-class!”

“The minimum weight for a first-grade product is fifty catties.”

“good.”

The pest control task was completed very quickly.

Before long, the other party handed over a talisman and explained, “When someone accepts the insect-killing task you posted, the talisman will light up. The closer the person is, the faster the talisman will flash.”

“Understood.” Xu Changqing took the hand.

By this time, he had very little spiritual rice left.
