Chapter 177: Chapter 109: Life-Cutting Finger, Come Visit Again If You Have Time_3

But these Spirit Gathering Grass, about four thousand plants are grown on five acres of land? They all grew so lush, not a single one withered or died... As far as I know, even an experienced Middle-Grade Spirit Plant Master can only achieve eighty to ninety percent survival rate for Spirit Gathering Grass.

And then there are these Red Leaf Spirit Tea Trees.

Back then, I only gave you a sapling. It’s been less than ten days, but judging by its height, it must have grown to the equivalent of over a hundred days.

It seems, Fellow Daoist, your spirit plant techniques are far more impressive than I imagined."

Gong Bai Xue exclaimed with admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Gong, you praise me too much.

I am only diligent.

Diligence overcomes clumsiness. Constantly busy in the Spirit Field, casting spells diligently, this is what has allowed these spirit plants to thrive, and only then can they sell for a good price to earn Spirit Stones, right?"

Zhou Changwang said calmly and frankly.

For a Spirit Plant Master, diligence overcomes inadequacy is indeed a truism.

"That is true."

Gong Bai Xue nodded, acknowledging his words, then shifted the topic, saying: "Actually, I came to find you this time because I have some questions about spirit plants that I want to ask.

The last time I observed your Spirit Rain Skill, although its coverage area is very small, the Spirit Rain carries a Gathering Spirit effect, how is this possible?

Also, the Fertilization Technique, although I consider myself quite adept at it, my master also commented that my Fertilization Technique has reached its limit, only Spirit Plant Masters above the second grade might surpass it, but compared to you, I always feel there’s a considerable gap..."

"Regarding these spirit plant techniques, I indeed have some insights.

I wonder if I can be of help to you.

Perhaps you might cast your spells once, so I can have a detailed understanding of your spell conditions."

Zhou Changwang pondered slightly but did not refuse to communicate with others.

Especially since Gong Bai Xue had always been very friendly and sincere with him, he wouldn’t be stingy in offering guidance.

After all, he had cultivated the Three Spiritual Plant Techniques to the Perfection Stage, and was well-versed in all aspects of these few spells.

"Okay!"

Gong Bai Xue nodded, immediately began casting spells at the side.

First the Spirit Rain Skill, then the Fertilization Technique.

After casting the two spells, Zhou Changwang immediately said: "Regarding the Spirit Rain Skill, actually you could try changing things while casting, for example... The rune structure of the spells can actually be simplified..."

A series of explanations, along with occasional demonstrations, were almost dissected, breaking down each step and spell rune to explain.

The Perfection Level understanding of the spells was almost a dimensional reduction attack for Gong Bai Xue, countless parts she found difficult to understand and originally perplexing became crystal clear at that moment.

Like a rain-blurred glass being wiped clean, everything was instantly clear.

Progress became almost visible to the naked eye.

One talks, one listens.

Time passed unconsciously.

Aunt Rong just stood by the side, not interrupting.

Yet, her gaze towards Zhou Changwang couldn’t hide the surprise.

She knew who her young mistress’s ’teacher’ was, initially thinking the young mistress was just finding a fellow cultivator for curiosity, not really able to learn much.

Little did she expect, this seemingly ordinary Loose Cultivator boy truly had ’substance’, enabling the young mistress’s already exquisite spirit plant techniques to achieve even greater progress.

"So that’s how it is!"

Gong Bai Xue kept nodding, feeling the harvest from this session far exceeded months of hard practice.

During the last Spirit Plant Master assessment, she had guessed that Zhou Changwang’s spirit plant techniques were extraordinary.

Yet she only thought he was slightly stronger than her, a spirit plant genius, thus considering befriending him and drawing him closer.

This visit was actually not coincidental, as her grandfather had some recent collaboration with Shuiyun Pavilion, sending her over to discuss details, only to coincidentally see Zhou Changwang coming out from Shuiyun Pavilion as she was about to go in...

Thus, after discussing matters with Shuiyun Pavilion, she sought him out.

Unexpectedly, she gained such a considerable harvest.

The Spirit Rain Skill and Fertilization Technique, which in her eyes previously had no further room for improvement, both made huge strides.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou’s accomplishments in spirit plant techniques are truly outstanding, the harvest for Bai Xue this time is tremendous.

Bai Xue is truly grateful here."

Gong Bai Xue cast spells once more, compared to before, after evident advancement, she was filled with joy and her tone truly expressed gratitude.

Zhou Changwang waved his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist Gong, you’re too kind.

We’re exchanging knowledge together.

To speak frankly, I’m actually an outsider when it comes to spirit plants, with much knowledge only partially understood.

Just like before, when casting the Annual Ring Skill, I realized although the spirit plant was being fertilized and grown, each time it grows, it needs to absorb adequate spiritual qi and nutrients.

This limits the growth of the spirit plant, preventing it from rapidly thriving..."

Through teaching the opposing spells, Zhou Changwang also understood the other’s profound heritage and occasionally revealed spirit plant knowledge that made him feel enlightened, thus couldn’t help but bring forth the recent puzzles he encountered.

And Gong Bai Xue, worthy of her distinguished origin, quickly said: "It’s very normal, although spells can accelerate the growth of spirit plants, the growth process of spirit plants naturally requires absorbing corresponding spiritual qi and soil.
