"However, this Second-Grade Spirit Seed indeed demands much more Spiritual Qi.

One Fertilization Technique cast upon a Spirit Gathering Grass can make it grow several inches, reducing its growth time by ten days to half a month.

But when cast on the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree, it only grew half an inch, merely reducing its growth time by five days.

Even with three Fertilization Techniques and one Withered Wood Revival Technique, it only grew by two inches, equivalent to about twenty days of growth effect.

It’s estimated that enjoying Red Leaf Tea from this Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree anytime soon will be difficult."

Zhou Changwang compared silently.

He knew that the higher the quality of the Spirit Plant, the greater the difficulty in cultivation.

For instance, with the same Spirit Seed, cultivating a Spiritual Peach Tree, it blooms and bears fruit within half an hour; with Spirit Gathering Grass, even a stick of incense time could yield results. This is large-scale cultivation, with four thousand plants at a time, so it’s hard to cast cultivation on each one individually.

But the cultivation difficulty for this Second-Grade Low-Tier Spirit Seed Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree is much greater; even if dozens of Fertilization Techniques are used each day, it only equates to two to three months of natural growth.

For such a Spirit Tea Tree, the tea leaves produced truly possessing both taste and Spiritual Qi effects require at least ten years of tree age.

Ten years.

It must take continuous months of perfect-level Fertilization Techniques, performed every day, to grow properly.

The time and energy spent are considerable. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Fertilization Technique is only suitable for growing spiritual materials with relatively short growth cycles.

For Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree or some herbs needing long age, if cultivation is desired, it’s necessary to learn the Annual Ring Skill.

The Annual Ring Skill is an advanced technique to Fertilization Technique, aiding Spirit Plant growth far more efficiently than the Fertilization Technique."

Zhou Changwang silently compared the effects of both techniques.

Though he hadn’t learned the Annual Ring Skill yet, he could not assess its specific effects.

But Annual Ring from the name itself indicates that a single spell, even if it can’t help Spirit Plant grow directly for a year, is definitely calculated in ’months.’

"However, whether it’s Fertilization Technique or Annual Ring Skill, the basic condition for aiding Spirit Plant growth is also Spirit Soil.

After three Fertilization Techniques, the Spiritual Qi and nutrients around the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree are almost drained, requiring time for Spirit Soil to recover before further fertilization can continue."

Then Zhou Changwang’s gaze fell upon the Spirit Soil surrounding the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree.

Dry, wrinkled, like a pile of dried sand, utterly without sustenance.

Zhou Changwang quickly performed Spirit Rain Skill, gathering the surrounding Spiritual Qi into rainwater, pouring it all onto the Spirit Tea Tree. After two rounds of Spirit Rain Skill, with Spirit Soil absorbing enough Spiritual Qi, it regained its original appearance.

"Second-grade spiritual materials indeed require much more Spiritual Qi.

Tier One Upper Grade Spirit Soil can be used for planting, but trying to quickly fertilize it often encounters situations where Spirit Soil cannot supply enough Spiritual Qi.

This is why most middle-high tier Spirit Plant Masters choose to join major forces.

Because relying on oneself makes obtaining high-grade Spirit Soil resources truly challenging."

Zhou Changwang sighed, then stood up to go to the front yard.

Washed rice and cooked a meal.

After a hearty meal, Zhou Changwang once again immersed himself in the Talisman Room.

Two hours later, he emerged, entered the Cultivation Secret Room, stood before the Magic Wall, and began practicing the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique.

During the day due to the Spirit Plant Master assessment, he hadn’t had the chance to practice the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, so naturally, standing before the Magic Wall, he wanted to make up for the missed practice.

One casting after another of the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique was performed, constantly striking the Magic Wall.

Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique +1

Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique +1

...

Due to not consuming Thunder Spirit Rice, occasional ’+2’ did not occur.

Zhou Changwang didn’t mind this.

As long as the spell is practiced to Entry Level, whether he has a Thunder Attribute Spirit Root or not makes little difference to him.

After a short period, Zhou Changwang’s Spiritual Power was exhausted, and he paused slightly.

His gaze fell upon the Attribute Panel.

Magic: Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique (Small Success 245/400)

"A little more time needed to reach Great Success.

However, even at Small Success, the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique is quite powerful.

Far surpassing my previous first attack, Geng Metal Finger.

The most crucial factor is that casting time is greatly reduced.

Only four to five breaths, and I can complete one casting."

Zhou Changwang’s heart slightly excited.

The attack power, let’s set aside.\p>

Thunder Skills are renowned for their formidable attack power.

In fact, earlier when he had trained the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique to Mastery Level, the power of this spell was already almost on par with the Perfection Level Geng Metal Finger.

Now.

Small Success!

The power naturally far exceeds.

The key is casting time.

Four to five breaths!

Though the time isn’t short either, it can barely be used effectively."

"Moreover, with just another ten days or so of practice, I can elevate this technique to Great Success.

At the Great Success Stage, the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique will not only be more powerful but also will greatly reduce the time needed for casting.

At that point, the spell will truly showcase its splendid glory."

Zhou Changwang was satisfied in his heart.

Back to the Cultivation Secret Room, he meditated to replenish Spiritual Power, and once fully restored, he once again indulged in cultivation.
