Restoring his Water Element Spiritual Root was something Zhang Lingshan could do at any time.
The reason he had not done it before was simply that the timing had not been right. He still had not leeched enough Life Essence here.
But now, Zhang Lingshan felt the timing was about right.
Because.
One year after Wei Zhongqian advanced to Area A, he advanced to Area A as well.
And once he reached Area A, Zhang Lingshan immediately set about cultivating Top-Grade Spirit Rice.
As before, if one aimed for the middle, one would get the lower; if one aimed for the upper, one would get the middle. He cultivated Top-Grade Spirit Rice, but continuously absorbed its Life Essence during the growing process, so the final yield would drop to High-Grade Spirit Rice.
But in order not to draw attention, since Wei Zhongqian had only grown sixty catties of High-Grade Spirit Rice in three years, Zhang Lingshan absorbed it even more fiercely, and in the end, what he produced was only Mid-Grade Spirit Rice.
This also brought another benefit: the Life Essence he absorbed far surpassed before.
According to Zhang Lingshan's estimate, in less than three years, he would be able to bring his Immortal Spiritual Body fully to Entry Level.
From then on, he would have the strength to protect himself, and would no longer need to act timidly.
Correspondingly, if he continued to stay here, there would be no greater improvement to be had.
Rather than remain here and waste time, it would be better to quickly find a place to make his own fortune. When the time came, he could plant Top-Grade Spirit Rice every day, absorbing as much as he wanted, without having to carefully watch others' expressions anymore. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
It just so happened
