Spring Growth Technique and the Use of Spiritual Dew

"Spiritual Rain Technique is originally used to manifest Spiritual Qi as rain, for irrigating Spiritual Plants. My enhanced version of Spiritual Rain, let's call it Spiritual Dew, to distinguish it from ordinary Spiritual Rain.

First, I'll fill this bottle with Spiritual Dew, and then in a few days, I'll see if the Spiritual Qi is still abundant."

For the rest of the day, Xu Chunniang continued collecting Spiritual Dew. It took about two days to barely fill one bottle.

After obtaining a bottle of Spiritual Dew, Xu Chunniang put the bottle back into her Storage Bag and ignored it, taking out another jade slip, which was the "Spring Growth Technique."

"It took three months, but I've finally mastered the Spiritual Rain Technique. It's time to learn the Spring Growth Technique."

The Spring Growth Technique is a Wood-element sorcery that can convert the Spiritual Qi within the body into Wood-attribute energy, promoting the growth of Spiritual Plants and shortening their growth period.

Xu Chunniang originally thought that since the purity of her Wood Spiritual Root was far inferior to her Water Spiritual Root, her learning progress for the Spring Growth Technique would definitely be slower than for the Spiritual Rain Technique. To her surprise, after only two attempts, she managed to successfully use the Spring Growth Technique.

There were no plants in the cave, so to practice the Spring Growth Technique, she left the cave and found a random patch of woods to begin practicing.

The object she used to practice the Spring Growth Technique was originally an inconspicuous wild grass by the roadside. However, as the Spring Growth Technique was activated, the wild grass began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing as much as half an inch taller.

Xu Chunniang herself was startled by the amazing growth of the wild grass. Was the Spring Growth Technique really this powerful?

However, she quickly understood the key. The Spring Growth Technique was originally meant to be used on Spiritual Plants, but since she didn't have any, she could only substitute ordinary plants.

Under the stimulation of Spiritual Qi, this wild grass couldn't handle so much Spiritual Qi and was forcibly made to grow taller.

If the Spring Growth Technique were applied to Spiritual Plants, the effect would definitely not be so pronounced.

After understanding this, Xu Chunniang stopped dwelling on it and continued practicing the Spring Growth Technique.

Perhaps it was due to her use and control of the Spiritual Rain Technique, but practicing the Spring Growth Technique went exceptionally smoothly. In just one week, Xu Chunniang could cast the Spring Growth Technique without hesitation.

The wild grass she stimulated would suddenly shoot up a little. This was achieved even after she reduced the Spiritual Qi used in the Spring Growth Technique to one-tenth.

Unlike the Spiritual Rain Technique, the amount of Spiritual Power used by the Spring Growth Technique was not fixed; it could only be reduced, not increased.

Sorceries like the Spring Growth Technique, which act on individual Spiritual Plants, could even drain all of the caster's Spiritual Qi at once.

To practice the Spring Growth Technique more times, Xu Chunniang controlled the Spiritual Qi called upon each time to the minimum.

This was also why she was able to master the Spring Growth Technique in just one week of practice; the foundation laid by extensive practice was extremely solid.

Using the Spring Growth Technique as easily as moving her arm, Xu Chunniang was not satisfied. Similar to how she practiced the Spiritual Rain Technique before, she began to explore other ways to cast the Spring Growth Technique.

"The Spiritual Rain Technique casts Spiritual Rain within a certain range, while the Spring Growth Technique affects individual Spiritual Plants."

Xu Chunniang compared the two sorceries. "I can change the range and quantity of the Spiritual Rain Technique, allowing the Spiritual Rain to affect individual Spiritual Plants. Conversely, can I make the Spring Growth Technique effective over a large area of Spiritual Plants?"

The more Xu Chunniang thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed. She could proceed step by step, just like controlling the Spiritual Rain Technique. She would first try to see if the Spring Growth Technique could affect two Spiritual Plants simultaneously, and if so, she would gradually increase the number of Spiritual Plants.

"However, before that, I have other things to do."

Xu Chunniang took out a pill bottle from her Storage Bag, the one filled with Spiritual Dew.

Gently opening the bottle, Xu Chunniang was pleasantly surprised to find that the liquid in the bottle still possessed incredibly abundant Spiritual Qi!

Compared to seven days ago, the Spiritual Qi in the bottle of Spiritual Dew had decreased slightly, by about a quarter, but three-quarters of the Spiritual Qi still remained!

Although only three-quarters remained, the Spiritual Qi in this small bottle of Spiritual Dew was very full.

Xu Chunniang estimated that she had used about twenty instances of Spiritual Qi Manifests as Rain to fill this bottle. Even with a quarter loss, there were still fifteen uses of Spiritual Qi remaining!

Considering her current cultivation level, she could only use the Spiritual Rain Technique three times in total. This meant that the Spiritual Qi in this small pill bottle was almost five times the Spiritual Qi of her entire body!

"It's a pity that this Spiritual Qi can only be preserved for at most a month..."

Xu Chunniang shook her head, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.

She didn't know how long it would take for her to become a qualified Spiritual Plant cultivator and gain access to Spiritual Plants. It seemed these Spiritual Dews were still destined to be wasted.

She reached out and gently poured the liquid onto the ground, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi visibly intensified.

More than seventy percent of the Spiritual Qi dissipated into the surroundings, leaving less than thirty percent of the Spiritual Qi, which was inadvertently absorbed by the surrounding vegetation.

These plants, which had absorbed some Spiritual Qi, did not grow taller like the grass stimulated by the Spring Growth Technique. Their leaves and branches simply looked much greener and more vibrant.

As she had predicted, this collected Spiritual Dew could still affect plants.

It's just that these plants were not Spiritual Plants, and their capacity to absorb Spiritual Qi was limited.

A thought flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind: since the Spiritual Qi in this Spiritual Dew could be absorbed by plants, could it be useful to people?

More than half of the Spiritual Dew in the bottle had been poured out, leaving only a shallow layer at the bottom. Xu Chunniang gripped the bottle and carefully sprinkled some Spiritual Dew onto herself.

She saw that the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Dew that fell on her dispersed at a not-slow pace, quickly scattering completely, leaving not a trace behind.

Seeing this, Xu Chunniang gritted her teeth in anger.

This Spiritual Dew was clearly something she had painstakingly transmuted with her Spiritual Power, yet the surrounding grass and trees could absorb a little, while she couldn't use even a bit of it.

However, Xu Chunniang forgot that this Spiritual Dew was derived from the Spiritual Rain in the Spiritual Rain Technique, and this Spiritual Rain was originally used to water Spiritual Plants and increase their Spiritual Qi. How could it be used to "water" people!

But in her distress and annoyance, she had clearly forgotten this point.

"I refuse to believe that I can't use the Spiritual Dew that I personally refined!" Xu Chunniang gritted her teeth and made a bold attempt.

She raised her hand and drank the last few drops of Spiritual Dew in the bottle!

Xu Chunniang wanted to see where the Spiritual Qi she drank would go!

As the Spiritual Dew entered her body, Xu Chunniang felt her internal Spiritual Qi become exceptionally abundant. However, after a moment, this Spiritual Qi began to scatter irregularly in all directions...

Xu Chunniang hurriedly put away the medicine bottle, sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb the Spiritual Qi within her body. It took quite some time before she finished absorbing all the Spiritual Qi.

"I absorbed more than half, about two-thirds, the rest dissipated...

This Spiritual Qi is no different from the Spiritual Qi I usually absorb during cultivation, meaning I can use Spiritual Dew to replenish my Spiritual Qi, and even cultivate with Spiritual Dew!"

Xu Chunniang was overjoyed. She had actually done it, she had found a way to absorb Spiritual Dew!

Cultivating with this Spiritual Dew, which was rich in Spiritual Qi, was not as effective as cultivating directly with Spirit Stones, but it was still many times faster than normal meditation and absorption!

However, in the next moment, the joy on her face vanished, replaced by an expression of extreme heartache and regret.

Her Spiritual Dew!

The entire bottle of Spiritual Dew she had spent a full two days collecting had been poured out by her!
