Fairy Lianyu returned soon.
When Qian Xiaoyue left, her head was still buzzing.
The impact Zhou Changwang gave her was indeed too great.
He gave too much.
Just by quietly estimating, she found that the value of these Spirit Talismans combined was at least over thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones... In reality, what she valued more was this friendship.
It filled her with joy and satisfaction. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
In contrast, Zhou Changwang’s mood was very calm.
After all, these Spirit Talismans were all drawn by himself, with very low actual cost.
As for the magic sealed within? They were all Thunder Skills he had mastered himself. He needed to practice magic every day anyway, so it was just going with the flow, not a big deal at all.
"Cultivation is all about facing challenges and defying fate; it requires constant effort, time, and countless energy. Where is there so much time for romantic entanglements?"
Zhou Changwang stood in place, pondering for quite a while before his Heart Spirit completely calmed down.
Then, he went into the courtyard and began his daily practice of casting spells.
Afterward, he went to the vacant Spirit Field, flipped his hand, and ten Thunder Spirit Rice appeared.
These pieces of Thunder Spirit Rice were the third generation, cultivated and selected for their excellence.
Each was crystal clear, full, and contained Spiritual Qi and vitality far superior to the previous ones.
Even their size was much larger than that of the first-generation Thunder Spirit Rice.
Then, Zhou Changwang once again soaked them in some Spiritual Spring Water and used the Fertilization Technique to aid their growth.
Once the sprouts appeared, he quickly planted them.
He performed the Annual Ring Skill repeatedly, followed by Thousand Thunder Flashes and Spirit Rain Skill. After several cycles, the grains of Thunder Spirit Rice grew robustly.
"Hmm?
These grains..."
Suddenly, Zhou Changwang felt a slight stir in his heart.
After maturing the Thunder Spirit Rice once again, he picked these grains one by one.
"First-Grade High-Tier Spirit Rice.
It finally broke through the limit.
Upgrading from Mid-Tier First-Grade Spirit Rice to the High-Tier First-Grade level."
Zhou Changwang carefully observed these grains, which were obviously larger and fuller than the others.
Especially the vitality and Spiritual Power contained within, which were very abundant, and with a hint of the Power of Thunder and Lightning flickering within.
First-Grade High-Tier Thunder Spirit Rice.
Finally, they were successfully grown.
Although, after careful calculation, only five grains reached the High-First Grade Level.
But this is a good beginning.
He believed that if these five Thunder Spirit Rice seeds were replanted, they would surely yield more First-Grade High-Tier Spirit Rice.
The next day.
Zhou Changwang successfully planted those five First-Grade High-Tier Thunder Spirit Rice seeds.
Three hours later.
Zhou Changwang looked at the Spirit Rice hanging on the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree with a slight smile on his face.
"As expected.
After the grade of Thunder Spirit Rice increased, the difficulty of cultivation also grew considerably.
The Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, originally semi-annual, required a year and a half’s worth of annual rings to grow Spirit Rice this time.
And the Spirit Rice grown was not all First-Grade High-Tier, with more than half still at the Mid-First Grade Level. Only about thirty percent were truly First-Grade High-Tier Thunder Spirit Rice."
Looking at the grains of Thunder Spirit Rice in front of him, Zhou Changwang silently compared them but wasn’t disappointed at all.
This is a very normal thing.
The growth of any Spirit Plant requires more Spiritual Qi, a better environment, and more time as the grade increases.
As for why most of the yield was still Mid-Tier First-Grade Spirit Rice, it was because the "Spirit Seed" had just evolved and had not fully matured yet.
It’s estimated that in a few more generations, they will stabilize and produce First-Grade High-Tier Spirit Rice without the occurrence of Mid-First Grade Spirit Rice still happening.
At least, the quality of this batch of Spirit Rice is very good.
In recent days, Zhou Changwang had been eating this Thunder Spirit Rice, and even his "appetite" had diminished. Eating just four pounds gave him a strong feeling of fullness, and he couldn’t eat any more.
This is because the Thunder Spirit Rice contains more abundant energy and Spiritual Qi.
Subsequently, Zhou Changwang collected all of this batch of Thunder Spirit Rice.
Then, he extracted Vitality Spiritual Liquid from the leftover Thunder Spirit Rice tree stalks using the Life-Cutting Finger, planted Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree, and spurred annual ring growth with the Annual Ring Skill.
On the third day.
Early in the morning, Zhou Changwang got up and hurried to the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.
Just in time to reach Shuiyun Pavilion before Qian Xiaoyue departed.
"Didn’t I tell you not to see me off?"
Qian Xiaoyue looked at Zhou Changwang, though saying this, she was actually very happy inside.
"I’m a bit worried."
Zhou Changwang said, and then asked, "I forgot to ask last time, who is accompanying you this time?"
"Senior Sister Hongmei.
However, we are not going alone, we are traveling with a merchant caravan.
I heard there is a Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouse overseeing this caravan, and there are also five Late Stage Qi Cultivators as escorts, so there’s no need to worry too much about safety."
Qian Xiaoyue said.
Zhou Changwang nodded.
He knew that various regions had always been connected, with regular merchant caravans coming and going.
However, due to the long distances between marketplaces and the necessity of passing through dangerous areas, caravans were relatively uncommon, with a convoy only coming every ten days or so.
This time, Qian Xiaoyue and the others were able to join a caravan led by a Foundation Establishment Realm True Cultivator, which was quite fortunate. With a caravan familiar with the route and a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in charge, their safety would be much more assured.
