My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation-Chapter 46 - The Growth of the Vine

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 The Growth of the Vine

Coincidentally, Fang Yun happened upon the scene of a Carnivorous Vine preying.

A wild boar, weighing several hundred pounds, lumbered from the riverbank towards the thicket where the vine was located.

Then it lowered its head, continuously rooting around in the weeds with its snout.

It dug out the roots of the weeds and then began to gnaw on them.

These weeds, nourished with ample nutrition and Spiritual Energy,

were indeed a rare temptation for the omnivorous wild boar.

...

As it drew nearer, suddenly five vines as thick as fists and several meters long sprouted from the thicket.

Sharp spikes were also growing on the branches of these vines.

These five vines swiftly entangled the wild boar, and the sharp spikes easily penetrated the boar’s tough skin.

The wild boar only had time to let out a pained squeal before its mouth was bound.

Then, torrents of fresh blood erupted from where the spikes pierced, completely staining the vines red.

However, the vines paid no heed to this, dragging the boar deeper into the thicket.

Fang Yun followed the vines into the thicket and quietly observed them tightening around the boar. Simultaneously, the spikes injected a substance that dissolved flesh and blood, then proceeded to dissolve and consume everything inside the boar.

Watching the boar’s body transmute from flesh and blood slowly into a pile of white bones, Fang Yun couldn’t help but sigh at the ferocity of the vine.

Yet, such a method of attack didn’t please Fang Yun.

Not because it was too brutal, but because the abilities it displayed didn’t possess much lethality.

It was fine against mundane creatures, but such abilities were simply impractical against Cultivators or demon beasts.

Fang Yun had high hopes for these vines.

Not only did he hope they could bring him more Life Essence Qi, but he also hoped they could become a method for him to combat enemies.

However, it now seemed that using them against enemies would be somewhat difficult.

As Fang Yun contemplated these issues, the Spiritual Insect perched on his shoulder suddenly took flight, hovering above the vines.

Desire for the vines emanated from its emotions.

The vines noticed the little creature above, their branches reaching up, attempting to attack the Spiritual Insect in the sky.

Seeing these two creatures suddenly become adversaries, Fang Yun could only shake his head, then with a thought, stopped them and called the Spiritual Insect back.

However, looking at the Spiritual Insect flying back to his shoulder and then at the vine in front,

a sudden idea arose in Fang Yun’s mind.

That was to use Life Essence Qi to nourish the vine before him, to see if there would be different outcomes.

From his past experience using Life Essence Qi to heal the Spiritual Insect, it was clear that Life Essence Qi had many functions yet to be discovered.

Now that he was unsatisfied with the vine’s attack power, could feeding it with Life Essence Qi bring some changes?

If it were before, when Fang Yun’s quantity of Life Essence Qi was scant, he wouldn’t dare to experiment even if he had ideas.

But now that he possessed more than two hundred units of Life Essence Qi,

there was no need to be so cautious in using it.

Thinking this, Fang Yun approached the vine, grabbing one of its branches.

The vine didn’t resist, but instead gently coiled around Fang Yun’s arm.

Fang Yun glanced at the vine in his hand, slowly channeling Life Essence Qi into it.

As Life Essence Qi flowed, Fang Yun looked at the vine in his hand with some surprise, sensing the budding of a plant, clearer than before.

It was as if the Life Essence Qi carried his own spirit power into the vine’s body.

Fang Yun could clearly sense the vine’s emotions and the details within its body.

He could see the blood of the wild boar that had just been absorbed and the other substances circulating in the vine.

He could also see how the substance stored in the roots of the vine, which corroded flesh and blood, reached the spikes.

And then entered the prey’s body.

Although sensing all this clearly did not seem to have much use for himself.

It did bring him absolute control over the vine.

If the vine could become stronger, then with such control, he could add a powerful means of contending with enemies.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun glanced at the other vines, wondering whether to take control of the others as well or to continue infusing the vine in his hand with Life Essence Qi.

After some thought, he realized that having control over these vines did not greatly enhance his own strength.

The main reason was that the vines themselves were not very strong. They could deal with wild animals but were unable to contend with Cultivators or demon beasts.

Therefore, he decided to continue infusing the vine with Life Essence Qi to see if any changes would occur.

Consequently, the Life Essence Qi in Fang Yun continued to flow.

The situation of the vine continued to clearly unfold before Fang Yun.

Every flow of energy within the vine and the channels through which it flowed were clearly presented to Fang Yun.

At the same time, the appearance of the vine began to change, becoming thicker, longer, and the color gradually deepened.

It was as if the vine was affected by Growth Skills, just like cultivated crops.

Not until he felt the vine had grown to a limit did Fang Yun stop the infusion of Life Essence Qi.

Opened the panel.

Cultivation: Qi Cultivation third layer

Mana: 66

Life Essence Qi: 240

Spells: Earth Power Skills (Skilled 55%) Spirit Rain Skill (Skilled 59%) Growth Skills (Beginner 96%) Gold Qi Skill (Beginner 2%)

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Control over Plants: Vine(5) soybeans (2 million)…

The data in the panel did not change much; the only addition was a beginner level Gold Qi Skill.

The consumption of Life Essence Qi was twenty points; a few must have been spent on the Spiritual Insect, with the rest used on the vine before him.

Seeing this rate of consumption, Fang Yun felt a bit pained and dared not to use Life Essence Qi on the other vines.

Otherwise, the little over two hundred points of Life Essence Qi would really not be enough.

However, the effect of Life Essence Qi just now did seem somewhat similar to the Growth Skills; maybe the other vines could be tested with Growth Skills.

But that would have to wait until this particular vine bore fruit.

This vine, having absorbed ample Life Essence Qi, was clearly entering its maturation stage.

It should not be long before it fully matured.

For this, Fang Yun was quite looking forward to it.

He wanted to see how much Life Essence Qi this vine, which had cost him over a dozen points, could ultimately provide for him.

However, just like those crops hastened by Growth Skills, the final maturation still required a certain amount of time.

Fang Yun did not plan to intervene with the vine during its maturation period.

Lest it encountered other problems like the previously hastened crops.
