The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 394 - 391: First Steps in Gathering Spirit

Using Jade Pure Spring directly for farming was clearly not suitable.

Besides, the Jade Purification Tank could only spare a daily ration of three bottles at most, and there was no more available, ignoring the daily consumption and the occasional indulgence with an Overlord Egg; there was also a significant amount that needed to be accounted for.

Xin Lin thought it over and decided to try using a small bottle of Jade Pure Spring for an experiment.

The seeds found in the firewood shed of Chu Mansion were due to their age, though still usable, most were shriveled and dull in color.

After soaking the seeds in the Jade Purifying Bottle, Xin Lin felt not a hint of sleepiness.

A bottle of Jade Pure Spring down, and she wasn’t the slightest bit tired.

With some time still before dawn, Xin Lin contemplated for a moment, considering that even an Overlord Egg could spew out a lotus blossom, as its owner, she surely couldn’t be outdone by an egg.

Xin Lin decided to close her eyes to conserve energy and began to gather Spiritual Energy.

She had transformed the Royal Cultivation Skill into the Spirit Taming Technique, but up till now, had never actually practiced it.

It wasn’t that Xin Lin was lazy, but mastering the Spirit Taming Technique was not easy.

It was created by Emperor Taizhong and due to his connection, it had never been disclosed to the world, nor had anyone ever practiced it.

It was, in essence, a brand new Cultivation Technique.

To control the spirit, one must first gather Spiritual Energy.

Gathering Spiritual Energy required the Five Meridians, just as gathering True Qi also needed the Five Meridians.

Xin Lin only had one Ghost Vein within her body, so naturally, her ability to gather spirit would be somewhat inferior to others.

This was also why Xin Lin’s progress in the cultivation of Spiritual Practitioner was always slower compared to Little Xinzhuo.

If it hadn’t been for "Little Worm’s" cheating tactics during the last Imperial Examination, Xin Lin would surely not have been recognized as an Advanced Spirit Master, possessing Superior Talent.

However, effort is certainly more decisive, and the more you evade, the more you need to confront.

Xin Lin opened the Spirit Taming Technique which is divided into three stages: Gathering Spirit, Controlling Spirit, and Spirit Control.

In the dead of night, when day turns to night, is the time when Spiritual Energy is most abundant within the day, which is why Gui Hu chooses to cultivate with the Overlord Egg around dawn near Qin Mountain.

The Spiritual Energy in the mountains is richer than inside Purple Cloud City, and it’s also easier to condense.

Most of the Spiritual Energy inside Purple Cloud City is absorbed by cultivators, so not much remains.

And the transition from day to night is when new Spiritual Energy emerges.

Xin Lin closed her eyes.

The amount of Spiritual Energy needed to be sensed through the Spirit Vein.

She closed her eyes for a quarter of an hour, and her Ghost Vein did not react at all.

"One vein is indeed not enough."

Xin Lin sighed.

Without the ability to sense Spiritual Energy, there was no way to gather it.

As dawn gradually broke, Xin Lin still couldn’t sense a trace of Spiritual Energy.

"Let’s try one last time."

Xin Lin silently recited.

Suddenly, an idea struck her.

If the Spirit Vein within her body couldn’t sense Spiritual Energy, why not try sensing it with Fu Xi’s Energy?

Xin Lin had an idea.

She quickly mustered a breath of Fu Xi’s Energy, condensed it in her eyes, then slowly opened them, searching for Spiritual Energy in the dim early morning light.

Gradually, the scenery before Xin Lin’s eyes changed.

The simple furnishings in the room vanished.

Before her appeared a series of hazy mists, each a different color.

The room, it seemed, was painted with various colored pigments.

The mists of different colors, lingering around her.

This was spirit!

Xin Lin was overjoyed; Spirit Fog existed between Heaven and Earth, subtle and omnipresent, only by condensing it could it be transformed into Spiritual Energy and be drawn into the body.

While Xin Lin was practicing the Spirit Taming Technique, the vegetable seeds casually placed on the table, after a night of soaking, also quietly underwent a transformation.
