Xu Chunniang deeply realized that cultivation is the root of everything.
In the past, when her cultivation was low, it took her two full months just to create a piece of spiritual soil.
Now that my cultivation has improved, I can produce six pieces of spiritual soil within a month, and my efficiency has increased more than ten times.
Her cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi training can be said to be far ahead of other outer disciples of the same period as her.
But Xu Chunniang did not forget that among the inner disciples who came on the day of the exam, many of them had good cultivation!
At that time, Xu Chunniang was only at the fourth level of Qi training. She only felt that many people's cultivation was higher than hers. As for whether they were at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training, she was not sure.
"Work hard to improve your cultivation and build your foundation as soon as possible!"
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and devoted herself to cultivation. She even put aside the art of talismans that she had originally planned to learn.
Apart from the spiritual rain technique that she performed three times a day, morning, noon and evening, and the soil moistening technique that she cast on the spiritual field every week, Xu Chunniang spent all her time practicing.
The amount of spiritual energy required for the fifth level of Qi training is extremely huge. Even with the help of spiritual soil, it is not possible to break through in a short period of time.
Three months later, Xu Chunniang's fasting pills were all eaten up.
She went to the canteen and bought a year's supply in one go.
Manager Zhao took out twelve bottles of Qigong pills and said, "The sect sells Qigong pills to us disciples at cost price, so we cannot buy more, and we are strictly prohibited from reselling them for profit."
Xu Chunniang nodded, she knew all this.
"Hey, you, why didn't you seize the opportunity to make a big leap?"
Manager Zhao looked at her with a complicated expression. He was not selected that year, so he is still wasting time in the outer sect.
Even though he is a manager now, many of his senior brothers and sisters who entered the sect at the same time as him have already established their foundation after entering the inner sect.
Of course, there are many people who died.
However, when cultivating immortals, what one is cultivating is that ray of immortal fate. If one does not try every possible means to get ahead step by step, how can one fight for that illusory immortal fate
They call the followers of inner disciples "the carp leaping over the dragon gate"
To some people, this statement makes sense.
Xu Chunniang smiled and shook her head, "I feel comfortable this way."
She had no intention of explaining to Manager Zhao. A summer insect cannot talk about ice and a summer insect cannot understand her. They would not understand her.
People who can understand her, such as Su Chen, don't need her to make any explanations.
Come to think of it, she has been busy practicing for the past four months and doesn't know what happened to that guy.
His skill in talismans is extremely sophisticated, so I think he will continue down this path.
Xu Chunniang shook her head, collected her thoughts, bid farewell to Senior Brother Zhao, walked towards Lingzhi Peak, and returned to her No. 172 spiritual field.
The spiritual field at this time has changed greatly compared to four months ago.
Green spiritual rice grew in the spiritual field, half a meter high, and the situation was promising.
In addition, there are dozens of spiritual rice plants that are particularly tall and strong, much taller than the lush green spiritual rice plants around them.
Looking at the spiritual field full of spiritual rice, a hint of doubt flashed in Xu Chunniang's eyes.
Why did the spiritual rice in the other spiritual fields she saw along the way grow so sparsely? Was it because she planted it too densely
But she remembered very clearly that she spread the half pound of seeds very evenly.
Xu Chunniang shook her head helplessly. Anyway, the spiritual rice was growing very well and was about to start to ear. She thought that even if they were planted closer, it should not have much impact.
Xu Chunniang quickly put this little matter behind her. As long as there was no problem with the spiritual rice, they could grow however they wanted.
She returned to the house and continued to practice.
As time passed, Xu Chunniang's cultivation level increased bit by bit, and the spiritual rice in the spiritual field slowly turned yellow and began to mature.
The last month is the critical period for the spiritual rice to grow to maturity.
Xu Chunniang finally stopped practicing in the house all day long as she used to do before, except for performing the Spiritual Rain Technique and the Soil Moisturizing Technique, and she began to pay close attention to the spiritual fields.
After all, the spiritual rice is almost ripe, which is related to her sect's mission.
When the spiritual rice matures, a huge amount of spiritual energy is needed, and it is not known whether the spiritual fields can provide it.
Xu Chunniang's worries soon became a reality.
As the spiritual rice gradually matured, the loss of spiritual energy in the spiritual field became alarmingly high and could no longer keep up with the speed of the spiritual rice's maturity.
If this continues, not only will the maturity of the spiritual rice be affected, but the quality of the spiritual fields will probably be reduced.
In order to replenish spiritual energy for the spiritual field, Xu Chunniang changed the soil moistening technique from being performed once a week to once every three days.
In addition, she also always pays attention to the movements of the spiritual field. Once the spiritual energy in the spiritual field shows signs of depletion, she will replenish it at any time.
Starting from the third week, the maturity of the spiritual rice increased further. Xu Chunniang applied the soil moistening technique to the spiritual field every other day to maintain the normal maturity of the spiritual rice.
In the last few days, it was necessary to cast the soil moistening technique almost every day to maintain the total amount of spiritual energy in the spiritual field.
Fortunately, Xu Chunniang has spiritual soil that can speed up the recovery of spiritual energy, otherwise she really can't keep up with this astonishing spiritual energy consumption.
At this time, the spiritual rice turned golden and matured at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, one morning, the spiritual rice was fully mature and no longer absorbed the spiritual energy in the spiritual field. It began to make a "beeping and popping" sound.
Xu Chunniang watched this scene with great interest. It was the first time she saw the spiritual rice mature and fall off. She had planted it with her own hands, so she felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The process of rice maturing is somewhat different from that of rice in the mortal world. One can see the ripe spiritual rice grains vying to open up the golden spiritual rice.
The "crackling, popping" sound is the sound made by the spiritual rice husk being stretched open.
After the spiritual rice opened its husk, it fell onto the spiritual field.
Soon, a thick layer of spiritual rice was piled on the spiritual field, and this process continued endlessly.
Xu Chunniang looked over and saw that the magical rice that she had taken special care of was now ripe and was scattered all over the ground.
Compared with other spiritual rices, the yield of these spiritual rices is half as much.
But the size of these spiritual rices is twice the size of ordinary spiritual rices, and the spiritual energy inside them is more abundant.
Xu Chunniang took out a strangely shaped spiritual weapon from her storage bag. It was the spiritual weapon that Manager Sun gave her half a year ago, claiming that it was used to collect spiritual rice.
This was the first time she had taken out this spiritual weapon since she got it, so naturally she had never refined it before.
This strange spiritual weapon is divided into two parts, upper and lower, and somewhat resembles an inverted gourd.
The upper part is dozens of times larger than the lower part, and I don’t know if it is useful for harvesting rice.
Xu Chunniang shook her head and began to pump spiritual energy into it to refine it.
After she poured spiritual energy into the strange spiritual weapon, she discovered that although there were also three layers of formations inside this spiritual weapon, the formations were very simple.
It didn't take long for Xu Chunniang to refine the three-layer formation on the spot and control the core of this spiritual weapon.
She only fiddled with it a little and learned how to use this strange spiritual weapon.
As long as you input spiritual energy into it, the small opening at the bottom of this spiritual weapon will generate an absorbing force.
This suction force will suck the spiritual rice on the ground and send it to the upper part for storage, which is very convenient.
Xu Chunniang no longer hesitated and began to pack the magical rice.
