Greater Spirit Rain Technique!

Greater Spirit Rain Technique!

Aboard the Spirit Feather Sect's dharma vessel.

Elder Gu's expression turned cold, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Hmph!"

A tremendous pressure bore down.

The Spirit Farmers below, who had been grumbling bitterly, immediately shut their mouths.

They dared to be angry, but not to speak.

"You like making noise, do you?"

"If you're unwilling to accept the increased taxes, step forward now."

"The War Camp just happens to be short of a great many hands."

Elder Gu swept his gaze over the crowd.

Seeing that no one dared step forward,

he finally ordered the dharma vessel to depart.

Early April.

The spring breeze was pleasant, and the air carried a hint of warmth.

Within the Spirit Fields.

Qin Ming was intently practicing the Greater Spirit Rain Technique.

He carefully recalled the sensation he had felt when using the Affix.

Again and again, he practiced.

Finally!

A vast expanse of gray thunderclouds appeared above the Spirit Fields on the hillside.

The thunderclouds formed a vortex, spinning around the center amid flashes of lightning and rolling thunder.

Qin Ming's face turned pale as more than half the mana in his body was instantly drained away.

Had the mana from his Evergreen Skill not been comparable to that of the Qi Refining Stage Fourth Layer, far surpassing cultivators of the same realm,

he likely would not have been able to sustain such a vast thundercloud at all.

This time, Qin Ming did not deliberately suppress the range of the rain.

Instead, he enveloped all eight mu of Spirit Fields within it.

Rumble!

With a clap of thunder,

the spiritual energy within the Spirit Vein was drawn into the clouds like a curtain.

The spiritual energy in the surrounding air was instantly drained dry as well.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Spirit Rain began to fall.

At this moment,

such a huge disturbance in Qin Ming's Spirit Fields naturally could not remain hidden.

The nearby Spirit Farmers all turned curious gazes toward his fields.

"Why is it thundering?"

"The spiritual energy concentration of rain at this level... could it be..."

"Could that be the Greater Spirit Rain Technique?"

At last, a knowledgeable Spirit Farmer spoke the truth in a single sentence!

"Who is casting the Greater Spirit Rain Technique?"

Once the Spirit Farmers realized it, they were all deeply shocked.

It had been many years since they had seen the Greater Spirit Rain Technique appear.

Even within the Spirit Rain Sect, only a small number of high-ranking Spirit Planters could cast it.

Whoosh!

A streak of light appeared in the sky near Qin Ming's Spirit Fields.

It was Du Haifu, the overseer of the Spirit Fields.

He stared dumbfoundedly at the immense thunderclouds overhead and muttered, "I must report this to the sect. Among the Spirit Farmers, there is actually someone capable of casting the Greater Spirit Rain Technique."

"Fellow Daoist Qin..."

As the Spirit Rain continued to fall,

the Golden Spirit Rice, Beast Fang Rice, Frostsmoke Herb, and Spirit Candle Fruit within the Spirit Fields began madly absorbing the spiritual energy brought by the rain.

The Affixes throughout the eight mu of Spirit Fields gleamed brightly.

Name: Golden Spirit Rice
Affix: Faint Mana (Maturity 67%)

Name: Golden Spirit Rice
Affix: Faint Mana (Maturity 66%)

Name: Beast Fang Rice
Affix: Faint Vital Energy x5 (Maturity 17%)

Name: Beast Fang Rice
Affix: Accelerated Growth x5 (Maturity 19%)

Name: Frostsmoke Herb
Affix: Faint Soul Force x5 (Maturity 26%)

Name: Frostsmoke Herb
Affix: Accelerated Growth x5 (Maturity 23%)

Name: Spirit Candle Fruit
Affix: Rebirth Spirit Seed x3 (Maturity 27%)

This Spirit Rain lasted for the time it took an incense stick to burn before finally stopping.

The mana in Qin Ming's body had been wrung dry.

With a pale face, he took out a Spirit Replenishing Pill and swallowed it, then sat down where he was to recover his mana.

Gradually,

a touch of color returned to Qin Ming's face.

"Good lad!"

"So it really was you, Qin Ming!"

Cai Lao Jiu came bustling over to him.

"The Greater Spirit Rain Technique!"

"H-how did you cultivate it?"

Having recovered his mana, Qin Ming stood up and gave an embarrassed smile. "I just happened to cast it."

"It was all a coincidence."

Cai Lao Jiu pursed his lips and said sourly, "Why do your words sound so greasy?"

"They're damn near good enough to stir-fry vegetables with!"

Qin Ming looked at him and smiled knowingly. "Didn't I learn it from you?"

"I'm subtle..."

Cai Lao Jiu said irritably.

Mastering the Greater Spirit Rain Technique

also meant that Qin Ming could reap twice the yield of Spirit Rice.

The cultivation of Spirit Plants below the second rank likewise required the Greater Spirit Rain Technique for irrigation in many places.

The Spirit Farmers on the hillside also came over one after another to greet Qin Ming and curry favor with him.

However,

Qin Ming himself could feel it as well.

Though he could cast the Greater Spirit Rain Technique, he could not sustain it for long.

I still need to improve my mana cultivation.

No, I need to buy a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills from Su Yuqing!

Qin Ming still had more than seventeen hundred Spirit Stones left. It was time to spend some.

After finishing his work,

Qin Ming hurried without stopping toward Su Yuqing's house.

Knock, knock, knock!

Qin Ming knocked on the door.

A moment later.

Su Yuqing opened the door and welcomed him inside.

Qin Ming did not waste words and went straight to the point, explaining why he had come.

"Spirit Gathering Pills? Sure."

"But Fellow Daoist Qin, business is business. I won't be giving you any special discount. We'll trade at the current market price."

Su Yuqing said to him with a smile.

"Fine."

"How many Spirit Stones per bottle?"

"The price of Spirit Gathering Pills has now risen to three hundred and fifty Spirit Stones per bottle."

"There are five pills in each bottle."

Qin Ming gritted his teeth. "Give me two bottles."

"Easy!" Su Yuqing immediately took two exquisite Jade Bottles from his Storage Bag and handed them to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming swiftly counted out seven hundred Spirit Stones and paid him.

Once the transaction was complete,

"I'll take my leave first," Qin Ming said with a Cupped Fist Salute.

Su Yuqing courteously said, "Not staying for a couple of drinks?"

"No, I still have things to do when I get back."

Seeing this, Su Yuqing did not press him to stay and escorted him out the door.

After returning to his own room,

Qin Ming sat on the grass-woven cushion atop his bed.

He took out the two bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills and removed their stoppers, releasing a strange medicinal fragrance.

He casually poured out a pill. The green pill was actually faintly shrouded in a layer of pill resonance!

"Superior Spirit Gathering Pill!"

This time, it was Qin Ming's turn to be shocked.

Could Su Yuqing have...

Qin Ming shook his head. He owed the other man another favor.

Since that was the case, he would gladly accept these Superior Spirit Gathering Pills!

He was not one to stand on ceremony.

At worst, he could repay him when the chance arose in the future.

Afterward,

Qin Ming stopped letting his thoughts run wild and cleared his mind.

He swallowed the Superior Spirit Gathering Pill in his hand.

Then he began cultivating.

The medicinal power of a Superior Spirit Gathering Pill was fully twice that of a Common Spirit Gathering Pill.

And it was even easier to absorb.

Once the pill entered his stomach,

it instantly dissolved into dense medicinal power.

Qin Ming circulated the Evergreen Skill, guiding his mana through its established route in continuous cycles.

He felt the immense medicinal power fill his limbs and bones.

As time passed,

the mana within his dantian began to steadily grow.

More than two hours passed.

Only then did Qin Ming completely digest the medicinal power within the pill.

He could clearly feel it.

This Superior Spirit Gathering Pill personally refined by Su Yuqing was worth several years of his bitter cultivation.

It was simply worth every Spirit Stone!

Qin Ming struck while the iron was hot and swallowed the second Superior Spirit Gathering Pill.

He continued cultivating with his eyes closed.

He vaguely sensed that the Qi Refining Mid Stage was not far away!
