Chapter 176: Chapter 109: Life-Cutting Finger, Feel Free to Visit Anytime_2

"As expected, although the Annual Ring Skill is strong, it can’t quickly increase the age of the Spirit Plant. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It needs enough nutrients and Spiritual Qi to aid its growth."

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but frown.

This was completely different from what he imagined before.

Previously, he thought it was simple, just continuously use the Annual Ring Skill to increase the age of the Spirit Tea Tree, producing corresponding ten-year, hundred-year Red Leaf Spirit Tea...

Now, does he have to control it?

"However, in this way, my plan to gift the hundred-year-old Red Leaf Tea Spirit Tea can’t be realized."

Zhou Changwang was somewhat unwilling.

Given the growth condition of the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree, even if he frequently irrigates it with the Spirit Rain Skill, he can only use the Annual Ring Skill three rounds a day, five times each round.

That’s just fifteen paths a day.

One path is equivalent to three days of its growth, which means one day is equivalent to forty-five days.

But in a month, he will invite Shen Xinyue to help oversee and host the Cultivation Technique exchange, which is not enough to cultivate this Spirit Tea Tree to be over a hundred years old.

Not to mention a hundred years, even ten years is difficult.

"Unless, using a pile of Spirit Stones."

Zhou Changwang thought of this and quickly shook his head.

Although he knew Spirit Stones could solve everything, just pile Spirit Stones around the Spirit Tea Tree and use the Annual Ring Skill, it will naturally absorb the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stones for rapid growth.

But the quantity of Spirit Stones needed would be too large.

He was already short on Spirit Stones, so of course, he was unwilling to try it.

"If it really doesn’t work, I’ll have to think of another way."

Zhou Changwang shook his head, certainly not giving up on continuing to practice the Annual Ring Skill.

No matter what, this is one of the Spirit Plant Techniques that middle-tier or above Spirit Plant Masters must master. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but it can’t be lacking.

So, he changed the target of the casting to the clusters of Spirit Gathering Grass.

Since it was just the entry stage, his Annual Ring Skill casting range was only three zhang, over an acre he cast nine times to cover all the Spirit Gathering Grass.

Then he took breaks, occasionally sitting cross-legged to restore Spiritual Power, spending more than an hour to cover the entire five acres of Spirit Field in the backyard.

Then, he glanced at the Attribute Panel.

Magic: Annual Ring Skill (Entry Level 51/100)

"It seems I might be able to refine this spell to the Mastery Level within a day."

Zhou Changwang was delighted at this thought.

At the entry-level stage, its fertilization effect wasn’t much different from the Perfection Level Fertilization Technique.

If mastered, it might catch up with the Perfection Level Fertilization Technique.

And a Small Success would surpass!

Just as he was about to continue his efforts.

Suddenly, he felt a disturbance at the entrance’s array.

"Is someone knocking?"

Zhou Changwang casually cast a Cleaning Technique on himself, then walked to the front entrance.

"Who is it?"

Zhou Changwang first asked softly.

"Is it Fellow Daoist Zhou? It’s Gong Bai Xue!"

Soon, a clear voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Changwang was taken aback and quickly opened the gate, saying, "So it’s Fellow Daoist Gong. I didn’t expect the esteemed visit of Fellow Daoist Gong, I apologize for not welcoming you earlier."

To this wealthy lady who casually gifted a Second-Grade Low-Tier Spirit Seed worth three hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, he was very impressed.

Then the door opened, quickly revealing Gong Bai Xue’s fair and beautiful face.

At this moment, she wore a white Dharma Robe, adorned with exquisite bird patterns as if a phoenix in flight, seemingly custom-tailored to her, highlighting her enchanting figure unquestionably.

Standing at Zhou Changwang’s entrance, she indeed had an indescribable beauty.

She wasn’t alone; behind her was a woman who maintained youthful looks, appearing middle-aged, though the faint Spiritual Pressure emanating from her made Zhou Changwang take notice.

Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Upon seeing Zhou Changwang, she rolled her eyes and said, "If Fellow Daoist Zhou doesn’t come to find me, I have no choice but to find you. This is my Aunt Rong. She’s come along as a precaution, so I hope Fellow Daoist Zhou won’t mind."

"Fellow Daoist Gong jests, I’ve been busy lately and haven’t gone out much."

Zhou Changwang responded with a smile and glanced at ’Aunt Rong.’ She nodded in response but said nothing. Facing a Late-stage Qi Cultivation Practitioner, Zhou Changwang dared not show negligence and said, "Aunt Rong, please come in as well."

Currently, with no Thunder Spirit Rice planted in the backyard, he wasn’t worried about visitors.

As for the so-called ’Aunt Rong,’ he reckoned she was sent by Gong Bai Xue’s family to protect her, as they were unfamiliar with Zhou Changwang, and visiting suddenly, they surely wouldn’t feel completely at ease.

"Do you live here alone?"

After entering the yard, Gong Bai Xue asked in surprise.

"Yes, therefore it seems somewhat simple, pardon the appearance, Fellow Daoist."

Zhou Changwang replied, naturally leading her to the backyard.

Since she was also a Spirit Plant Master, and they weren’t very familiar, the only possible topic was the Spirit Plants related to their expertise.

"Hmm? All of this is Spirit Gathering Grass.

So many?"

Upon stepping into the backyard, Gong Bai Xue couldn’t help but express her surprise. She then noticed the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree in the corner, asking, "You’ve already planted this Spirit Tea Tree? I didn’t expect it to have grown so much in just a few days."

"Speaking of which, it’s thanks to Fellow Daoist Gong.

Adding a different kind of vitality to my backyard."

Zhou Changwang replied with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist’s Spirit Plant skills are indeed impressive.
