The Thunder Spirit Rice Tree had already been harvested a month ago, and the Spirit Gathering Grass has been managed properly, ready for sale at any moment.

Thus, Zhou Changwang felt quite relaxed at this moment.

He stood in front of the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree.

First, he used the Life-Cutting Finger to absorb the Vitality Spiritual Liquid from the medicine bottle, then poured it all into the Spirit Tea Tree, applying the Annual Ring Skill repeatedly.

Under the effect of the Annual Ring Skill, the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree grew rapidly.

With each Magic, in just a few dozen breaths, its age increased by over a month; after seven or eight times, it was a whole year.

Zhou Changwang kept pouring in the Vitality Spiritual Liquid, continuously casting magic.

When he was tired or lacking Spiritual Power, he would sit cross-legged to recover.

Time passed from morning till night.

Over the course of a day, the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree’s age increased by fifteen years, reaching eighty-four years.

On the second day, it increased by nine years.

On the third day, five years.

By the fourth day, Zhou Changwang looked at the three bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid in his hand, feeling a bit helpless.

It was ninety-nine years old now.

Just one year away from the tree reaching a century in age.

He spent a total of one hundred and twenty bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid to cultivate the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree from seventy-eight to ninety-nine years.

But he didn’t have confidence that these three bottles would be enough to cultivate it to reach a century.

Because the later stages required more Vitality Spiritual Liquid for cultivation.

"Never mind, let’s just try!"

Zhou Changwang gritted his teeth and used the Life-Cutting Finger to extract more Vitality Spiritual Liquid, injecting it into the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree.

One bottle, two bottles, three bottles, and then he used the Annual Ring Skill over and over.

One after the other.

The Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree grew closer and closer to a hundred years under his Magic.

However, after he used the fifth Annual Ring Skill, the Spirit Soil cracked, and a large amount of Spiritual Qi was lost.

"As expected, it’s not enough."

Zhou Changwang quickly stopped.

Without a sufficient supply of Spiritual Power, forcibly promoting growth could cause the Spirit Plant to wither.

At this point, he couldn’t continue casting magic.

Yet he was just a step away, needing only two or three more Annual Ring Skills to successfully cultivate this Spirit Tea Tree; he was, of course, unwilling to give up.

He looked around.

Immediately, he noticed a small bamboo grove in the corner nearby.

"No choice, I’ll just have to replant later!"

Zhou Changwang gritted his teeth, hurried to the Spiritual Bamboo, and used the Life-Cutting Finger.

Drop by drop, Vitality Spiritual Liquid was extracted.

But because of this, a large area of Spiritual Bamboo withered, turning into empty husks.

Soon, he had four more bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid and injected them all into the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree at once.

The ninety-nine-year-old Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree could absorb a lot of Vitality Spiritual Liquid without any issues.

Then, Zhou Changwang quickly used the Annual Ring Skill.

One, two, three...

Annual Ring Skill +1

Annual Ring Skill +1

Annual Ring Skill +1

...

Annual Ring Skill +6

Following Zhou Changwang’s final use of the Annual Ring Skill,

Buzzing sounds...

The entire Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree instantly transformed.

The entire tree became sturdier, new small buds sprouted from the lush branches and leaves.

The buds were a bright red with very distinct patterns, possessing a special charm and luster, exuding a rich tea fragrance.

"Third-Grade Spirit Plant.

Hundred-Year-Old Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree!"

Zhou Changwang’s eyes shone with a bright light.

With his cultivation, the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree advanced to a centennial age.

Its quality also transformed, becoming Third Grade.

Third-Grade Spirit Plant.

During its transformation, phenomena erupted, birthed a sliver of Creation that invigorated Zhou Changwang’s Spiritual Power, rapidly increasing his Heart Spirit and accelerating its recovery.

The range of his Spiritual Sense expanded steadily, from three zhang, to three zhang and one chi, to three zhang and two chi, and to three zhang and three chi...

The Spiritual Power in his body boiled, and the ever-rotating Five Elements Technique sped up uncontrollably like a wild horse, circulating one cycle, two cycles, three cycles...

Cultivation Progress +1

Cultivation Progress +1

Until the Power of Creation completely dissipated.

Zhou Changwang slowly opened his eyes.

"I didn’t expect that upgrading the Spirit Plant’s quality could bring such tremendous benefits."

It took him a while to calm down. Surprised, he was also very delighted.

The benefits he gained this time were enormous.

First, his cultivation level increased directly by ten points.

From initially Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation (5/100), it rose to (15/100), saving over ten days of cultivation time.

Secondly, his Spiritual Power, Heart Spirit, which is his Spiritual Sense intensity, increased.

The coverage of his Spiritual Sense increased from the previous three zhang to three zhang and eight chi.

Although it didn’t seem like a significant increase,

The expansion of the Spiritual Sense range indeed enhanced his strength and cultivation speed.

The stronger the Spiritual Sense, the faster he could control the Cultivation Technique, and the quicker and farther he could cast magic and use Magical Artifacts...

"Although it was expensive to cultivate this Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree, it seems worthwhile now.

Not to mention, the biggest gain is still the tea leaves from this Centennial Spirit Tea Tree."

Murmuring to himself, Zhou Changwang quickly turned his gaze to the tea leaves on the Spirit Tea Tree.

There were not only the newly sprouted buds but also the century-old tea leaves preserved since the tree was one to two years old.
