Opening the book, to his surprise, he found that besides the techniques and associated breathing thods of the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques, there were nurous annotations in his father’s handwriting.
"This way, learning the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques is much simpler for ."
Zhou Changwang suddenly felt relaxed in his heart.
After carefully studying it once, he quickly compared it with the manual and began practicing in coordination with the breathing thod.
"Huh?"
Just as he started, Zhou Changwang’s brows furrowed.
He only felt at that mont, as if there was a massive oppressive force from heaven and earth acting upon him, causing his movents to beco sluggish.
It was as though every movent was in conflict with heaven and earth.
An inexplicable, invisible force seed to be obstructing him.
"Indeed, it’s no simple feat."
Zhou Changwang was not alard but delighted; from his father’s annotations in the manual, he knew this was a normal phenonon.
The Celestial Essence Eight Techniques aligns with heaven and earth, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to refine the cultivator’s physique.
The stronger the oppressive force from heaven and earth, the better the training effect for the cultivator.
Zhou Changwang’s movents continued, slow and steady.
The Celestial Essence Eight Techniques is not sothing that speeds up just because one wants it to.
Because an invisible force kept exerting pressure on him, as his movents continued, the oppressive force slowly increased.
However, soon he felt strands of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continuously rushing towards him with his movents, nourishing and refining his physique.
"Indeed, it is a Body Cultivation Technique, actually capable of attracting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to refine the physique."
Zhou Changwang was astonished, suddenly gaining so enlightennt.
This cultivation technique, why it worked for his father.
His father couldn’t cultivate Immortal Techniques simply because he didn’t have a Spiritual Root, unable to retain Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. However, upon cultivating this Body Cultivation Technique, the Spiritual Qi directly acts on the physical body, primarily refining the cultivator’s physique, with only a small amount of Qi entering the Dantian to be absorbed and refined.
Naturally, it could enhance his father’s strength.
With a sigh, Zhou Changwang suddenly felt relieved, as the pressure scattered abruptly.
Evidently, his breathing was disordered, failing to match the movents, leading to unsuccessful cultivation.
Seeing this, Zhou Changwang wasn’t bothered, silently contemplating for a while, then once again resud his cultivation.
After half an hour, Zhou Changwang concluded his cultivation.
"It really isn’t easy to fully cultivate the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques."
Zhou Changwang sighed but remained calm.
Even though he hadn’t reached entry level in the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques, through repeated cultivation, he vaguely felt his physical strength was enhanced.
At least, his power was slightly greater than before.
Following two bowls of Spirit Rice Porridge, the exhaustion from practicing the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques in the morning dissipated entirely.
Afterward, taking his Little Spirit Dog, he went once more to the backyard.
Crackle~!
Crackle!
Two successive Thunder Talismans descended.
The remaining two Thunder Spirit Rice Trees suddenly revived under the Power of Thunder and Lightning.
One after another sprouts erged from the two Thunder Spirit Rice Trees.
Perhaps due to the weaker power of his self-refined Thunder Talismans, the two Thunder Spirit Rice Trees didn’t suffer much damage; instead, more sprouts erged.
Seeing this, Zhou Changwang was delighted and quickly used the Withered Wood Revival Technique to restore the vitality of the two Thunder Spirit Rice Trees.
"Finally, all three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees have entered their second growth, sprouting buds and blooming flowers..."
At this mont, Zhou Changwang felt that his previous efforts were paying off, invigorated with motivation.
Yet, he realized.
Growing Spirit Rice is never a simple task.
Moreover, the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree is an almost extinct rare Spirit Rice.
Furthermore, the continued cultivation of Thunder Spirit Rice Trees also requires the Power of Thunder and Lightning to aid in growth.
He needed to experint daily to find the optimal number of Thunder Talismans required.
Thus, he marked the three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees: the first as number one, the middle as number two, and the last as number three.
He decided to apply one, two, and three Thunder Talismans daily to the three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees respectively, observing their growth effects.
Hence, he extracted a Thunder Talisman and applied it to the first Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.
As he watched the buds rapidly grow and other branches sprout under the effect of the Power of Thunder and Lightning, he was pleased.
Then, every three to four hours, he applied Thunderfall Talismans to the second and third Thunder Spirit Rice Trees.
After another three to four hours, he applied Thunder Talismans only to the third Thunder Spirit Rice Tree...
"First, try this for three days.
After three days, observe the results."
Zhou Changwang quickly made his decision.
Then he picked up the Spiritual Hoe and once again began the tilling work.
One day passed amidst busyness.
In the evening, Zhou Changwang continued drawing talismans and cultivating.
Thus, after three days.
Zhou Changwang examined the three Thunder Spirit Rice Trees.
The first Thunder Spirit Rice Tree produced eleven sprouts in total, each sprout had eight to twelve buds.
The second Thunder Spirit Rice Tree produced eighteen sprouts in total, each sprout had ten to fifteen buds, and all buds had fully blood; evidently, the richer the Power of Thunder and Lightning, the better the growth, yielding more Spirit Rice.
The third Thunder Spirit Rice Tree produced nineteen sprouts in total, each sprout had ten to twelve buds, though so buds hadn’t blood and were already withering, while the remaining buds were fully blood, so growing quickly with tiny rice grains faintly visible forming within.
Comparing silently, Zhou Changwang soon arrived at a conclusion.
Applying one Thunder Talisman daily could sustain the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree’s growth but slows its growth speed and reduces output.
Two daily proves optimal, increasing growth speed and yield.
Three daily doesn’t reduce yield, but excess energy burns and kills buds, indirectly reducing production.
"Therefore, two Thunder Talismans daily proves optimal."
Zhou Changwang quickly made a judgnt.
However, after calculating, he was a bit troubled.
As this requires substantial consumption for growing Thunder Spirit Rice Trees.
Knowing one Thunder Talisman costs one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone on the market, even in the Independent Cultivator Marketplace, one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone buys at most two talismans, with no guarantee of quality.
Even at the lowest calculation, a Thunder Spirit Rice Tree requires at least one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone per day.
Fortunately, with his own talisman crafting, costs remain low, but if done on a large scale...
A gold devourer indeed.
