This is a Spirit Wood that is at least thirty years old. Although it’s not tall, it’s very sturdy.
At this mont, he couldn’t care about much else and hurriedly cast another Life-Cutting Finger.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
After seven drops, the magic dissipated.
But it’s not that only seven drops of Vitality Spiritual Liquid can be extracted from this Spirit Wood; rather, the Life-Cutting Finger at Small Success can only extract seven drops.
Zhou Changwang didn’t mind this and cast the Life-Cutting Finger once again.
Another seven drops flowed out.
However, the entire Spirit Wood beca extrely withered, the leaves turned dry yellow, and with a gentle shake, leaves would fall.
"The Life-Cutting Finger must not sever the soul, leave half of it.
In three to five years, this Spirit Wood will recover again."
Zhou Changwang understood the principle of not going to extres. Apart from harmful Spirit Plants like the Blood-sucking Vine, he tried to leave a thread of vitality when extracting from Spirit Woods, not completely severing their life essence.
Thus, he road through the forest.
Continuously casting magic along the way.
Then, just before his Spiritual Qi ran out, he slapped his Spirit Insect Bag, and imdiately an insect flew out, ordered to keep watch around, while he sat cross-legged to recover his power.
This insect was the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada he had previously controlled with the Control Charge Seal.
After being fed over ti, its entire form grew larger, not only its frontal eight claws revealing sharpness, but also its wings spreading out like blades, with a special tallic sheen.
Upon flying out, its speed was incredibly fast, flashing three yards away in an instant, making it an excellent ’Guardian’, against which ordinary Low-Tier Demon Beasts couldn’t stand.
After two incense sticks’ ti, Zhou Changwang’s Spiritual Power recovered, and he imdiately began collecting ’Vitality Spiritual Liquid’ again.
Two hours later.
Zhou Changwang returned to the base of the cliff.
A flash of Spiritual Light on him, he first used Light Body Skill and Flying Body Technique, then paused his steps, propelling upwards swiftly.
Just a gentle leap, and he was about three yards high, then another step, ascending two more yards, step by step.
After a full seven steps, the portal entrance was within reach.
He flicked his body and jumped in.
"Light Body Skill, Flying Body Technique, combined with the Body Cultivation Technique Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon, indeed allows to easily ascend this twenty-yard cliff and enter this underground passage."
After standing firm, a slight smile appeared on Zhou Changwang’s face.
A height of twenty yards is extrely difficult for ordinary cultivators to climb without mastering Sword Flight or other Flying Skills.
As for the results from going down the cliff this ti?
Five bottles!
A full five bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid.
"Calculated in terms of Spirit Stones, that’s two hundred and fifty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
Zhou Changwang was delighted.
Though it was partly because it was his first ti descending the cliff, with many Spirit Woods not yet harvested, such a harvest satisfied him.
With five bottles in one go, if repeated ten tis, wouldn’t there be fifty bottles?
No need to buy Vitality Spiritual Liquid externally.
Self-produced and self-sold, the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree could be grown this way.
Thus, in the following ti, he spent two hours daily running down the cliff to extract Vitality Spiritual Liquid, all used for cultivating the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree.
In just five days, the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree was cultivated to a thirty-year age.
However, upon reaching thirty years old, Zhou Changwang realized the Spirit Tea Tree required increasingly massive Spiritual Qi.
Later on, one bottle of Vitality Spiritual Liquid wasn’t enough for its annual growth; two, or even three bottles were often needed for a year’s growth requirents.
Zhou Changwang, though helpless, understood this was quite normal.
Because regardless of the Spirit Plant, once its age reached a certain point, its daily required Spiritual Qi intake would be tenfold, hundredfold of when it was immature.
Naturally, the consumption of Vitality Spiritual Liquid also had to significantly increase.
Therefore, in the next ten days, Zhou Changwang only increased the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree to a forty-five-year age.
Additionally worth ntioning, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to acquire Vitality Spiritual Liquid from below the cliff.
Previously, five bottles could be obtained in two hours, but now it often takes three, even four hours to collect fully.
The increased ti spent gradually made him feel the diminishing returns.
He decided to suspend this action.
Of course.
Apart from the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree, Zhou Changwang didn’t forget about the batch of Spirit Gathering Grass amidst his daily hustle and bustle.
In five acres of Spirit Field, a full four thousand Spirit Gathering Grass plants, thrice daily covered with the Annual Ring Skill, enabling rapid growth.
By now, they had grown to over two feet, nearing the mature stage of three feet.
Their ability to gather Spiritual Qi was starting to show, greatly raising the Spiritual Qi concentration in the entire backyard.
This, indeed, was also the reason why the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree could grow normally.
Indeed.
Gradually Zhou Changwang realized that the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree, being a Low-Tier Second-Grade Spirit Plant, required only a Second-Grade Spirit Field to sustain its growth in terms of Spiritual Qi.
A First-Grade High-Rank Spirit Field, despite being decent, was sowhat inadequate for growing a Low-Tier Second-Grade Spirit Plant.
Now, it’s just right.
This saved Zhou Changwang so trouble.
Otherwise, he would have to activate a Small Spirit Gathering Array to gather Spiritual Qi for the Red Leaf Spirit Tea Tree.
...
This day, Zhou Changwang finally ended the usual hectic work and once again stepped out of the courtyard.
