Taking off the Spiritual Hoe, Zhou Changwang hurriedly descended into the Spirit Field, digging hard, and the hard soil made his hands feel numb.
The soil of the Spirit Field is extremely firm, and ordinary people can't move it with a hoe.
In his previous life, he hadn't done much farming, but fortunately, he had obtained all the memories of his original self. Using Spiritual Power, he swung the Spiritual Hoe, working methodically.
After loosening the soil, he pulled up the weeds by the roots.
When refilling the soil, he had to be careful not to miss any weed seeds, otherwise, by the next day, there might be one or several more weeds growing on the side.
Fortunately, with the three acres of Spirit Field, he would come almost every day to weed and tend to it. Therefore, within just an hour, he finished the weeding work.
But at this time, he couldn't rest.
The Linghe is a Spiritual Object, very delicate, and disturbing the soil in the Spirit Field could affect its growth.
So, Zhou Changwang hastily performed the Spirit Rain Skill again.
This Spirit Rain Skill is a type of Spirit Plant Magic, with the spirit rain it conjures containing a small amount of Spiritual Qi, just enough to nourish the Linghe and help them grow.
Zhou Changwang's Spirit Rain Skill has already reached the Mastery Level. The range of rain he can produce is much larger than at the Entry Level, but still required three applications to cover an entire acre of Spirit Field fully.
With a hand-sealed spell, Zhou Changwang controlled the Spiritual Power within his body to circulate along a particular rune structure. When the entire rune structure was covered by Spiritual Power, the surrounding Heaven and Earth resonated with it, and Spiritual Energy rolled, gathering into a dark cloud.
"Go!"
Without hesitation, Zhou Changwang shouted lowly and flicked his finger.
Drizzling rain began to fall evenly on the Spirit Field from the black cloud.
Spirit Rain Skill +1
As the spirit rain fell, Zhou Changwang also noticed that not far away, Elder Xu was also performing the Spirit Rain Skill to irrigate the Spirit Field.
However, the Spirit Rain Skill that Elder Xu executed, not only had a larger range than his, but merely two applications could cover an acre of Spirit Field, and the speed was much faster than his.
Zhou Changwang took five to six breaths to perform the Spirit Rain Skill, but Elder Xu required only four breaths.
"It seems that Elder Xu's Spirit Rain Skill has already reached the Small Success Level."
Zhou Changwang quietly compared, feeling it normal, after all, the other was a decade-old Elder Spirit Farmer, who had been using the Spirit Rain Skill for years, accumulating to enhance the skill level.
He did not stop because of this and hurriedly performed the Spirit Rain Skill again.
Then the third time, the fourth time...
Until nine applications of the Spirit Rain Skill were completed.
Spirit Rain Skill +9
Spirit Rain Skill (Mastery 135+9/200)
With that, he also finished watering all the three acres of his Spirit Field.
However, after consecutively performing the Spirit Rain Skill nine times, the Spiritual Power within his body was exhausted.
At this time, a cultivator is actually very vulnerable. Since Spiritual Power is their source of strength, without it, a cultivator is at most slightly stronger than an ordinary person, with very limited power.
Fortunately, the Spirit Field at the foot of Changling Mountain belongs to the Spirit Plant Hall and cultivators are sent to patrol it every few days.
And most cultivators know that Spirit Farmers are the bottom of the Cultivation Realm. Unless it's right after the autumn harvest, they are usually very poor, and few take an interest in targeting them.
Zhou Changwang didn't mind the place. He found a relatively cool spot, sat down cross-legged, and began meditating to recover his Spiritual Power.
Operating the Five Elements Technique, he slowly guided the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into his body.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
This is actually a slow process.
It requires guiding the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, absorbing it into his body, and then using his Heart Spirit to control the flow of Spiritual Power through his meridians, slowly absorbing and refining that thread of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, transforming it into Spiritual Power that he can utilize.
Finally gathering into the Dantian...
Five Elements Technique +1
After one circulation, a trace of fatigue appeared on Zhou Changwang's face.
But he did not stop, the emptiness in his Dantian filled him with a longing for more Spiritual Power for a sense of safety.
After half an hour.
Zhou Changwang finally stopped cultivating.
Had to stop.
Cultivating for a cultivator is not just about peaceful and quiet times, it requires the consumption of Power of Heart and Spirit to maintain the operation of the cultivation technique and the absorption and transformation of Spiritual Power.
After three circulations, Zhou Changwang's Power of Heart and Spirit was considerably depleted, unable to sustain a fourth circulation of cultivation.
Forcing the operation of the cultivation technique would only exhaust his heart and spirit, causing his Spiritual Power to become chaotic, and himself to fall into slumber.
Zhou Changwang even suspected that the reason he was able to traverse to this world was because his previous self forced cultivation while in a state of exhaustion of the Heart and Spirit.
Of course, it's not that cultivators can only cultivate for such a short time.
Among cultivators, there are many tools that can aid in cultivation.
Such as Calming Incense, Qi Nourishing Pill, Awakening Talisman...
Among them, Calming Incense and Awakening Talisman can aid in restoring a cultivator's heart and spirit and accelerate the operation of the cultivation technique, whereas the Qi Nourishing Pill can directly increase Spiritual Power Cultivation.
Even high-tier cultivators, with strong Power of Heart and Spirit, can transform it into Spiritual Sense and Divine Sense, naturally extending the time for cultivation significantly. If the consumption of the cultivation technique's operation is less than their recovery speed of heart and spirit, then they can even go into seclusion for several years or even decades at a time.
The so-called "no gap in the mountain, no years in cultivation."
It is nothing more than this.
...
"After three circulations, only half of my Spiritual Power has been restored."
Zhou Changwang felt the Spiritual Power within his body, somewhat helplessly.
However, this is also normal.
His Spirit Root Talent is what's there, his cultivation efficiency was never high to begin with.
Out of a hundred strands of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it's not bad to absorb and transform ten strands, but in reality, it's not even up to ten strands. Plus, the environment he's in is on the very outskirts of Fengming Dock Marketplace, compared to the marketplace center, which has a First-Grade Spirit Vein, the Spiritual Qi here is quite limited, so naturally, recovery is slower.
"But fortunately, the proficiency of my cultivation technique has increased."
Thinking this, Zhou Changwang couldn't help but look at the Attribute Panel.
Name: Zhou Changwang
Lifespan: 17/75
Cultivation: Second-Layer Qi Cultivation (21/100)
Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Technique (Entry Level 88/100)
Skills: Spirit Rain Skill (Mastery 144/200), Cleaning Technique (Entry Level 61/100), Fertilization Technique (Entry Level 63/100), Geng Metal Finger (Entry Level 13/100)
...
After three circulations, the proficiency of the Five Elements Technique had also increased by three points.
"Just need to cycle twelve more times, and the realm of the Five Elements Technique will rise.
Perhaps then, my cultivation efficiency will be completely different."
In Zhou Changwang's heart, there was full of anticipation.
Having already understood deeply his own talent, he naturally could only place his hopes in cultivation on the realm of this cultivation technique.
At noon, after having a casual meal at home, he rushed back to his Spirit Field.
"Changwang, Changwang."
Shortly after arriving, the Elder Spirit Farmer Xu Fugui hurriedly approached.
"Old Xu, what's the matter?"
Hearing this, Zhou Changwang returned to his senses and asked.
