Xu Ping did not continue to daydream, his heart set on trying the unique aspects of mastering the Spirit Rain Skill.
With soone nearby, he naturally couldn’t exert his full power.
However, even so, Xu Ping imdiately felt an extraordinary change.
Apart from the raindrops containing more Spiritual Qi, he could actually control the volu of rain and the amount of Spiritual Qi in a specific area.
In other words, with just a thought, he could make the rain sowhere more abundant and filled with Spiritual Qi.
Such a skill doesn’t an much for spirit rice.
But for spirit dicine, it’s extrely important.
So fragile spirit dicines, with a little too much rain, would die and rot. Even too much Spiritual Qi in the raindrops could slow their growth or even stop it.
With this skill, he could flexibly adjust the application of the Spirit Rain Skill according to the growth habits of the spirit dicine.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Xu Ping joyfully thought, and his work efficiency increased significantly.
Soon, he had completed watering the remaining spiritual fields.
After receiving his paynt, Old Man Lu hurriedly dragged him to the next location.
...
.....
Ending his day’s work, Xu Ping walked on the way ho.
Ever since the last ti he was attacked by a robber, he always chose the main road, which was undoubtedly much safer.
Occasionally, he would encounter patrols, which settled his heart quite a bit.
At this mont, Xu Ping passed by Old Sun’s spiritual fields and couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
He looked up, and the spiritual fields were overgrown with weeds, reaching higher than half a person, completely drowning out the spirit rice.
The scene before him made his heart tense up, clearly an indication of long-term neglect.
As the lifeline for spiritual farrs, such neglect of the fields was truly unusual.
"Could it be that Old Sun really got possessed by evil spirits?" This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, imdiately bringing unease.
The surrounding air seed to beco cold and icy, making one shudder involuntarily.
Thus, he could only quicken his pace to head ho.
"The materials for the Nourishing Life Skill have been brewed into dicine, starting cultivation of the Nourishing Body Skill today."
The beast tide is getting worse, and if evil spirits co now, it would be adding insult to injury.
For now, improving his strength was the only way to bring him safety.
...
Back ho.
Xu Ping went to the kitchen, boiling a pot of hot water.
He found a large wooden barrel and poured all the hot water into it, just about to pour in the dicine.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
At this mont, there was a knocking on the door outside.
’Who’s looking for again!’
Xu Ping opened the door, and it was the charming and beautiful Lv Liu in traditional dress.
"Daoist Lv?" Xu Ping was taken aback, not expecting her visit.
"Not welcoming ?" Lv Liu giggled with a hand over her mouth.
"How could I!" Xu Ping awkwardly laughed.
"Hehe, I brought you sothing good for your health, genuine Demon Beast Flesh." Lv Liu laughed while handing over the at she was holding.
"This... this is too precious." Xu Ping hesitated, repeatedly declining.
Even if Demon Beast Flesh prices have dropped considerably, it’s still a luxury for regular spirit farrs.
"Just a piece of Demon Beast Flesh, not that valuable. It’s courtesy, no rejecting it next ti I ask Fellow Daoist Xu for help." Lv Liu’s tone carried a teasing hint, as if suggesting sothing.
"Then... alright." Xu Ping took the at from her hands.
Mainly because refusing soone’s kindness is inappropriate.
"Alright, I’m leaving then. Oh, Fellow Daoist Xu, I gave you Demon Beast Flesh secretly from my husband, don’t tell him." Lv Liu blinked her bright eyes at Xu Ping.
"Ah?"
Xu Ping was bewildered.
He thought it was Lv Liu and her husband’s gesture to bond after his Spirit Rain Skill breakthrough.
Turns out it was secretly from Lv Liu?
What kind of developnt is this?
After pondering for a mont, Xu Ping decided to let it go.
No matter what developnt, female cultivators would only slow his cultivation pace.
Soon, Xu Ping put the matter out of his mind.
Returning to the kitchen.
Their conversation was brief, so the hot water was still steaming without needing to be reheated.
Xu Ping again took out the dicine from his storage bag, opened the container, and poured the dark green liquid into the water.
Instantly, the once clear hot water turned to a dark green color.
Seeing this, Xu Ping took a deep breath.
Biting his teeth, he stepped into the barrel, undressing completely.
"Hiss!"
Upon entry, a fierce burning pain washed over him, causing Xu Ping to gasp.
His entire skin beca beet-red from the scalding water, like a boiled shrimp.
He didn’t need to guess to know his skin was severely scalded.
Xu Ping endured the pain, forming a peculiar sign with his hands, then starting the Nourishing Life Skill cultivation technique.
After a short while.
The barrel, filled with the dark green liquid, started emitting gentle steam.
The lightly blue-tinged steam entered his body through every pore.
This ti, Xu Ping felt intense skin pain throughout his body, even unrest within his body.
Various sensations, tingling, itching, soreness, pain...
All sorts wreaked havoc inside, greatly testing his will!
Xu Ping strived to keep his consciousness lucid, guiding the dicinal liquid through his body as per the first-level entry formula of the Nourishing Life Skill.
The dark green liquid clung to his skin, seeping into his body, nourishing his bones, cleansing his ridians...
The process was extrely painful, as if soone was forcibly combing his flesh, ridians, bones with an iron comb.
Not wanting to give up halfway, Xu Ping gritted his teeth to persevere.
In the end, his teeth were biting till they bled.
The process continued.
Unaware of how much ti passed.
Suddenly, he felt a lightness all over, all pain and discomfort vanished, replaced by a warm stream swirling inside.
In that mont, he completely indulged in it.
....
Again, not knowing how much ti had passed.
Gentle moonlight seeped through the window’s gap, scattering soft light patches, embellishing the tidy room.
In the barrel, Xu Ping with his eyes shut, absorbed the last trace of the dark green air, turning the dark green liquid to transparency.
His eyelids fluttered, and monts later, he opened his eyes.
The black pupils had a tinge of light blue now.
He exhaled a mouthful of foul breath, blinking energetically, then sprang up, letting the cool water cascade off him.
Feeling the newfound enormous bodily strength, he knew he had successfully reached the entry level of the Nourishing Body Skill.
Crack!
When he clenched his fists with force, the muscles on his arms hardened like iron, veins bulging under his skin, and joints made a crisp crackling sound.
Filled with power.
He never expected such strong body refining effects from a life-nourishing cultivation technique!
The strength increased by several tis compared to before.
Then he pinched his arm’s skin.
The texture was no longer soft.
It had a tough feeling.
Like pinching cowhide.
