After clearing away the weeds.
He could cast the Constant Temperature Technique on the Spirit Fields to regulate their temperature.
The principle behind the Constant Temperature Technique was simple: it released a low-temperature flame. If the ambient temperature exceeded the set temperature, it absorbed the surrounding heat; if the surrounding temperature fell below the designated temperature, it released the flame's energy to warm the area.
But just as he was about to cast the spell, he paused.
So, what temperature suited Yellow Millet Rice best?
Han Yuan was somewhat at a loss.
This was within the purview of a Spirit Planter. Every kind of spirit herb and spirit medicine had its own suitable growing environment and temperature requirements. Some needed to grow atop high mountains, while others needed to be bathed in lava.
As for Yellow Millet Rice, the Scripture Repository surely had planting records for this kind of Spirit Rice.
But Han Yuan suddenly recalled the characteristics of his cultivation art.
After reaching Major Accomplishment, he had gained the ability to sense and communicate with spirit plants. He had communicated with the Great Banyan Tree before.
Now, he could likewise sense the condition of the Spirit Rice!
Han Yuan tried merging his Spiritual Sense into a stalk of Yellow Millet Rice.
This stalk did not possess true intelligence and could not communicate, but Han Yuan could still sense its condition.
Its perception of the temperature felt somewhat scorching!
Han Yuan's heart stirred, and he formed hand seals to cast the Constant Temperature Technique.
A peculiar, tiny low-temperature flame appeared in Han Yuan's palm.
When Han Yuan brought his palm close to the stalk of Spirit Rice, the flame naturally began absorbing the heat around it.
The temperature began to fall. Even beneath the blazing sun, it quickly dropped to around eighteen degrees.
The Spirit Rice's leaves stretched slightly, and the entire stalk emitted a faint feeling of comfort.
At this temperature, the stalk's growth condition visibly improved!
Han Yuan smiled. This way, he had successfully determined the optimal growing temperature for Yellow Millet Rice.
This flame could cover an area ten meters in radius. Quite a few other stalks of Spirit Rice indeed looked more vigorous than before, their leaves collectively relaxing and spreading out.
However, when he tried probing another stalk of Spirit Rice with his Spiritual Sense, its perception of the temperature surprised Han Yuan. It seemed to find the temperature insufficiently warm?
Han Yuan seemed to realize something and inspected every stalk of Spirit Rice.
In the end, he discovered in surprise that every stalk of Spirit Rice did not have the same temperature requirements!
Some needed eighteen degrees, some nineteen, and some eighteen and a half.
Though cultivators viewed this Yellow Millet Spirit Rice as the same type of plant, every stalk is actually an independent individual. Naturally, their needs cannot be completely identical. Moreover, even the same stalk of Spirit Rice will certainly require different temperatures, humidity levels, and so on as its growth cycle changes.
With this realization, his understanding of the Wood Spirit Script deepened another degree. Faintly, he felt that he had grown stronger again.
Hm? An illusion? No, this is real feedback. The cultivation world values enlightenment—if my understanding deepens by one degree, it can directly reflect in my strength.
Han Yuan examined himself carefully and discovered that even his Wood Spirit Heart had expanded by a trace. Under the precise measurement of his Spiritual Sense, there was no doubt about it.
No wonder cultivators value comprehension so highly. Every bit of insight can enhance a cultivator's strength. As the days and months pile up, quantitative change triggers qualitative change, eventually transforming into power that can overturn the heavens!
For him, farming was not merely a tool for making money; it was also a means to advance in cultivation. He cultivated the "Ancient Wood Nourishing Spirit Art." Planting did not waste his time—instead, it aided him!
Han Yuan cast the Constant Temperature Technique with even greater vigor.
One flame after another appeared amidst patch after patch of Spirit Rice. Each time, based on the condition of each Spirit Field, he adjusted the temperature as closely as possible to the average temperature most suitable for the Spirit Rice there.
While casting the Constant Temperature Technique, the "Fire" Spirit Script in his Sea of Consciousness helped him as expected, accelerating his comprehension of the spell's effects.
But at the same time, he unexpectedly discovered that Wangcai's Contractual Spirit Script was also helping him, raising his understanding of the Constant Temperature Technique to another level.
The Violet Flame ability Wangcai shared with him could actually assist his cultivation as well.
This truly exceeded Han Yuan's expectations.
Thus, when every Spirit Field was filled with clusters of spirit flames, his Constant Temperature Technique had indeed advanced by a minor realm, reaching Minor Accomplishment.
The flame's temperature could be controlled more precisely, its upper and lower limits had expanded, it lasted longer, and its range could cover a broader area.
Next, the Soil Cultivation Technique!
The Soil Cultivation Technique was an earth-attribute spell.
It could cultivate the soil, loosening or compacting the ground.
Han Yuan cast a Soil Cultivation Technique, and a patch of earth began absorbing spiritual energy from the air, becoming richer in spiritual power. The weeds growing there were buried beneath the soil, where they decomposed faster and became nourishment for the earth.
In particular, insect corpses had exceptional effects in nourishing the soil. Under the Soil Cultivation Technique, they became nutrients in the earth for spirit plants to absorb.
After casting a Soil Cultivation Technique and sensing the Spirit Rice again, he found no seemingly beneficial feeling.
That was perfectly normal.
The Soil Cultivation Technique was a long-term process of nourishing the earth. One or two casts would not have much effect. Besides, it was merely a Yellow Grade Low-Rank Spell, while these Spirit Fields were Yellow-grade High-rank Spirit Fields, further weakening the technique's effectiveness.
Han Yuan was not in a hurry and cast the Soil Cultivation Technique one after another.
Yet gradually, he discovered that his progress in comprehending the Soil Cultivation Technique was more than ten times slower!
Eh? The Earth Spirit Script is also helping me accelerate my comprehension of the Soil Cultivation Technique, but its efficiency is more than ten times weaker than before!
After repeated attempts, Han Yuan finally confirmed that this was the Earth Spirit Script's normal effect. It had not failed.
Under normal circumstances, he estimated that comprehending the Soil Cultivation Technique to Minor Accomplishment would take two years. Now, he reckoned it would take only two months.
This bonus was already extremely high.
The rapid improvements of the Qi Sword Slash and Constant Temperature Technique earlier had been the abnormal cases.
In that case, when two Spirit Scripts bless a spell at the same time, does the effect increase tenfold? It isn't addition, but multiplication?
Han Yuan sucked in a cold breath.
Only then did he realize the terror of Spirit Scripts. A single Spirit Script was already monstrously powerful; if their bonuses could combine, the improvement would be even more outrageous.
No wonder those people were so shocked that I comprehended eight Spirit Scripts. Even I'm stunned now!
No wonder those Foundation Establishment Elders had acted like bumpkins who had never seen the world, even alarming a Nascent Soul Expert.
Although once his realm rose and the level of his spells increased, the bonuses from these Spirit Scripts would certainly weaken by more than half, their stacked effects would still be utterly heaven-defying.
Han Yuan tried casting the Azure Spirit Technique again.
This was a wood-attribute farming spell that could accelerate the growth of spirit plants and had a chance of increasing their spirituality!
The Entry Level Azure Spirit Technique was fairly ordinary. It could slightly increase the growth speed of Yellow Millet Rice, and if cast daily, it could advance the harvest by around ten days.
Han Yuan cast the Azure Spirit Technique once and sensed the state of his Sea of Consciousness.
Sure enough, the Wood Spirit Script and Forest Spirit Script both enhanced his Azure Spirit Technique. Together with the blessings of the "Ancient Wood Nourishing Spirit Art" and the Wood Spirit Heart, his comprehension of the Azure Spirit Technique was practically aided by the gods. After casting the spell a mere hundred times,
he raised the Azure Spirit Technique to Minor Accomplishment.
Wait. Speaking of which, when I cultivated the "Ancient Wood Hidden Qi Art," I had already easily reached Major Accomplishment within three months with the blessings of the cultivation art and the Wood Spirit Heart. If I could receive the simultaneous blessings of the "Hidden" Spirit Script, the "Wood" Spirit Script, and the "Forest" Spirit Script, how quickly would I reach the Perfection Realm?
Han Yuan suddenly thought of the "Ancient Wood Hidden Qi Art." This technique had already reached Yellow-grade High-rank, two ranks higher than spells like the Qi Sword Slash. Even if its bonus was not tenfold, it should still be several times greater, right?
With three Spirit Scripts multiplying together, wouldn't both its cultivation speed and spell effects soar into the sky?
