I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 38: I Spoke Out of Turn

When Zhou Changwang appeared in the Spirit Field carrying the Iron Armor Pig, all the Spirit Farmers were astonished.

Among them, some were aware that Zhou Changwang’s Spirit Field had been ravaged by demon beasts recently, and of course, there were those who were gloating, eager to see him make a fool of himself.

After all, he had previously helped Xu Zhong’s Spirit Field by using the Geng Metal Finger technique to eliminate a pest plague, making quite a name for himself.

Moreover, he was now the only person at the foot of Changling Mountain besides the Zhao Brothers who had purchased a Spirit Dog, gaining envy-filled glances occasionally that were enough to scorch anyone.

However, they never expected Zhou Changwang to be so bold, daring to enter Changling Mountain alone to exterminate demons.

The key thing is, he succeeded.

The Iron Armor Pig’s massive body and thick armor drew everyone’s attention.

"Changwang, did you really kill this Iron Armor Pig?"

Old Xu showed a look of disbelief on his face.

He, along with Xu Zhong and several Night Watchers, had faced this Iron Armor Pig, but due to its size and potential collision strength, they hadn’t dared to make a move.

After all, they were all Spirit Farmers; combat was not their specialty, and aside from Spiritual Farming Techniques, they hadn’t learned any Attack Magic Techniques.

But precisely because of this, they were particularly shocked that Zhou Changwang managed to remove this demon beast.

"Luck."

Zhou Changwang nodded and didn’t boast about it.

Exterminating demons was impressive, but that was only because he was dealing with Spirit Farmers.

Which of the Loose Cultivators who dared wander in the wilderness hadn’t exterminated demons?

If one were to be arrogant because of this and frequently venture into forests to exterminate demons, they might not even know how they died.

This time, he acted out of necessity for his Spirit Field. Otherwise, if he let it continue to rampage, his losses would be significant.

"Selling this Iron Armor Pig could at least yield one to two hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Its hide can be used for Talisman Making, and it should have an Inner Core inside.

I’ve heard that demon beast Inner Cores are good material for Alchemy, worth at least a dozen Lower-Grade Spirit Stones each."

Someone couldn’t help but speak enviously.

"I’ve heard whether a demon beast has a Demon Pill inside depends on luck, especially with Low-Tier Demon Beasts.

Some follow a bloodline path, and not one in ten might develop a Demon Pill."

Someone who seemed to know a little more explained.

"Regardless, Fellow Daoist Zhou really struck it rich this time.

One action almost equals our year’s worth of hard work."

Someone couldn’t help but speak sourly.

"But this is also due to Fellow Daoist Zhou’s skills.

You’re all aware of his Geng Metal Finger; not only is its casting speed quick, but it is also highly precise, hitting wherever aimed.

This Iron Armor Pig encountered him, and it was its destined calamity."

...

A crowd gathered around the Iron Armor Pig’s corpse, commenting on it.

Some even inspected the Iron Armor Pig’s body carefully, discovering that the fatal wound was from the Geng Metal Finger technique, which deepened their awe of Zhou Changwang’s methods.

Although they also knew the Geng Metal Finger, mastery at the Entry Level had limited power, and even if someone had honed it to the Mastery Level, with a casting range of just two zhang, who would dare to use it to exterminate demons?

Only the Small Success Level of the Geng Metal Finger could extend the casting range to five zhang, providing room for spellcasting against demons.

After a lively discussion, the crowd quickly dispersed.

After all, they were all Spirit Farmers, with endless chores in their Spirit Fields.

"Changwang, what do you plan to do with this Iron Armor Pig?"

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Old Xu approached cautiously and asked.

"What?"

Zhou Changwang gave him a sidelong glance.

"I recently made acquaintances with the shopkeeper at Lin’s Tavern.

His business is good, and the demon beast meat consumption is high there.

If you’re interested, I’m willing to help you sell this demon beast."

Old Xu said with a grin.

He had previously gained benefits by helping Zhou Changwang purchase Spirit Insects.

"That’s not necessary.

Don’t forget what my father used to do."

Zhou Changwang glanced at him and shook his head gently.

The Iron Armor Pig’s rampage in his Spirit Field had not been something he spoke much about, but Old Xu and the others had the duty to guard and drive it away in their Night Watcher roles.

Since they had turned a blind eye and allowed the Iron Armor Pig to wreak havoc in his Spirit Field, while he wouldn’t do anything about it, he certainly had his own bookkeeping and wouldn’t let them benefit from it.

"Indeed, I spoke out of turn."

Old Xu’s face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.

Zhou Changwang didn’t pay him much attention and went directly to the Spirit Field to start dealing with the Linghe Rice that had been trampled by the Iron Armor Pig.

He propped them up one by one, then used the Fertilization Technique to stabilize their vitality.

Finally, he used the Spirit Rain Skill to water them.

Though these Linghe still looked a bit wilted, their growth wasn’t affected.

"Right, I wonder if the Withered Wood Revival Technique could also work on these Linghe?"

Zhou Changwang suddenly thought of the spell he had just mastered, and his heart stirred.

Though the Withered Wood Revival Technique is a kind of Healing Magic, being a Wood Attribute Technique, it can naturally be applied to Spirit Plants.

Thinking it, doing it.

Zhou Changwang calmed himself and gathered his spirit, his Spiritual Qi being drawn and forming one rune structure after another.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

As time passed, each rune structure was completed.

Ten breaths, eleven breaths, twelve breaths...

At the moment of the fifteenth breath.

Buzz!

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was quickly drawn in.

A unique celestial light swiftly gathered.

Withered Wood Revival Technique +1

Then Zhou Changwang extended his hand and pointed towards the patch of Linghe Rice ahead.

Bit by bit, the celestial light fell like Spirit Rain, evenly distributed over the Linghe Rice.

Instantly, those Linghe Rice grains, which had appeared wilted due to the damage, all revitalized with vitality.

Some of the Ling Rice that were still shriveled quickly appeared to absorb a massive amount of Spiritual Qi, becoming plump and full...

Many Linghe, along with the growth of Ling Rice, bent under their weight, showing signs of flourishing prosperity.

"It indeed works.

It’s just a pity, the casting range is too small.

On an acre of Spirit Field, I need to cast it at least five times to cover it all."

Zhou Changwang was pleased, but also noticed the limitation of the spell.

The effect of the Withered Wood Revival Technique on Linghe was greater than he imagined; frequent use would definitely increase the Ling Rice yield from the original five hundred pounds per acre to six hundred, or even seven hundred pounds.

He had heard that Spirit Plant Masters could achieve a yield of a thousand pounds of Ling Rice per acre.

Initially, he had some disbelief, but now it seemed those Spirit Plant Masters must have mastered some Middle or even High Tier Spirit Plant Techniques.

It’s a pity he mastered the spell too late.

With the Ling Rice already matured, even if the yield could be increased, it wouldn’t increase by much.

However, regardless, having this spell could comparatively offset his losses.

Not to mention the Iron Armor Pig, weighing seven to eight hundred pounds.

If things went smoothly, he should also count on earning about a hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
