Immortality and Cultivation: I can extract entries from all things.

The next morning.

Fang He got up early, washed up quickly, and headed to the market.

The market was sparsely populated in the early morning, and most stalls had not yet opened for business.

He walked through several streets and alleys and arrived at the Gongfa Pavilion on the east side of the market.

This is a two-story building with two guards standing at the entrance.

Fang He stepped forward and showed his waist tag.

The guard glanced at it, nodded, and let them pass.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a faint scent of books.

The cultivation technique pavilion is not large, with several bookshelves around the perimeter displaying various cultivation technique jade slips.

A long table is placed in the center for people to browse the catalog.

A middle-aged monk sat behind the counter, looking down as he flipped through something.

When Fang He entered, he looked up, his gaze calm.

"Exchange for spells?"

Fang He nodded: "I'd like to see wood-based attack spells."

The steward put down the jade slip in his hand, took out a booklet, and opened it.

"There aren't many wood-based spells, but they're all here."

He handed the booklet over.

Fang He took it and examined it carefully.

Wood Spikes, Green Wood Shield, Vine Technique.

The three magical arts each have their own unique characteristics.

The Wood Spike Technique is offensive, but its power is limited and requires good control of spiritual energy.

The Greenwood Shield is a defensive spell, which doesn't fit his current needs, as he already has a Small Shield Charm available.

The Vine Technique can entangle enemies and restrict their movement; it is relatively easy to learn.

Fang He thought about it and made a decision.

The art of vine cultivation suits him better.

If you can use vines to restrain the enemy, combined with your perception advantage, the effect will be even better.

Moreover, the art of vine cultivation is relatively easy to learn.

"Vine Technique"

The deacon nodded and closed the booklet.

"Vine Technique, requires 30 contribution points."

Fang He took out a contribution token from his pocket and handed it over.

This is what he accumulated during his patrol missions over this period of time, and it's just enough.

The deacon took the contribution plaque and flashed it within the array on the counter.

The array's light flashed, confirming that the contribution amount was correct.

"Contribution verification complete."

The steward took down a jade slip and placed it on the counter.

"The spell incantations and hand gestures are all inside."

Fang He took the jade slip and sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

True magical inheritance is far more valuable than incomplete techniques available on the market.

Fang He turned and left, a hint of anticipation in her heart.

……

Back at the spirit field, Fang He couldn't wait to take out the jade slip.

He sat down cross-legged and probed into the space with his divine sense.

The incantation and hand seals appeared clearly in my mind.

The principle behind vine magic is not complicated. It involves gathering wood-attribute spiritual energy, guiding plant growth, and controlling it under the caster's control.

But when you actually practice it, there are quite a few tricks to it.

First, you need to learn how to condense wood-attribute spiritual energy.

This is the foundation, but also the most difficult step.

Different types of spiritual energy have different characteristics; wood-attribute spiritual energy tends to be associated with vitality and growth.

Secondly, we must learn how to guide plant growth.

This is not about creating plants out of thin air, but about stimulating the growth of seeds or roots in the soil.

Therefore, it is best to use vine magic in places with plants.

Finally, you need to learn how to control the vines.

Unlike talismans, which can be used to target specific areas, vines have their own growth patterns.

The caster needs to establish a connection with the vines and guide their movement.

Fang He took a deep breath and began to cultivate according to the incantation.

The spiritual energy circulates, flowing according to the routes recorded in the jade slip.

It didn't go smoothly at first.

The spiritual energy dissipates after circulating halfway through the meridians.

He had to start all over again.

Once, twice, three times...

……

A day passed, and Fang He had a basic grasp of the spell incantations.

Although the flow of spiritual energy is not yet smooth, at least I have memorized the route.

Three days later, Fang He was able to condense wood-attribute spiritual energy.

He felt spiritual energy gathering in his dantian, carrying a vibrant aura.

This is different from the spiritual energy cultivated through the Green Wood Technique.

The Green Wood Technique is a cultivation method that produces relatively gentle spiritual energy.

The vine technique requires more active spiritual energy, full of the urge to grow.

Seven days later, Fang He could already feel the resonance between spiritual energy and plants.

Each time spiritual energy is circulated, the surrounding plants and trees will have subtle reactions.

He knew he was close to mastering the skills.

On the tenth day, Fang He sat cross-legged beside the spirit field, with a small open space in front of him.

He took a deep breath and formed a mudra with his hands.

Silently recite the mantra, and the spiritual energy circulates.

Wood-attribute spiritual energy surged from the dantian and flowed along the meridians to the hands.

He sensed the vitality contained within the spiritual energy, the power that nurtured plants.

Fang He slowly infused spiritual energy into the land in front of him.

The ground trembled slightly.

A tender sprout broke through the soil, timidly peeking out.

Fang He held her breath and continued to infuse spiritual energy.

The new shoots began to grow.

Little by little, faster and faster.

Green vines sprouted from the soil, growing longer and thicker.

Finally, the vine stopped in front of him, swaying gently as if it were alive.

Become!

Fang He was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh.

He controlled the vines to make various movements.

Entangling, striking, binding.

The vines are only as thick as a finger and not very powerful, but they are definitely a beginner's guide.

Fang He withdrew his spiritual energy with satisfaction.

The vines slowly withered, turning into a pile of dry grass.

He stood up and stretched his stiff muscles.

Ten days of hard work finally paid off.

……

A few more days passed.

Fang He participated in the patrol mission again.

This time, he had an extra spell to rely on.

The group moved slowly along the coastline, with Fang He walking in the middle, constantly alert to her surroundings with her divine sense.

During the patrol, a small sea creature darted out from between the rocks.

It was a crab-like sea creature the size of a fist, moving nimbly as it charged towards the group.

Just as Han Laosan was about to make a move, Fang He had already formed a hand seal.

"I'll do it."

As spiritual energy circulated, vines broke through the soil.

Green vines, like snakes, lashed out and entangled the crab claws and legs of the sea creature.

The sea monster struggled for a few moments, then its movements suddenly slowed down.

Seeing this, Han Laosan swung his sword down and killed the sea beast.

"Oh, you've learned magic?"

Han Laosan looked at Fang He with some surprise.

Fang He nodded: "I'm just starting out, and I'm not very skilled yet."

Han Laosan grinned and patted him on the shoulder.

"Not bad, having an attack method is much better than relying solely on talismans."

"In the future, I will have more power to protect myself if I encounter danger."

Lin Qingshan, who was standing to the side, also nodded in agreement.

Fang He smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

……

The mission is complete, and the team returns to camp.

Zhou Qiang heard about Fang He learning magic and came over specifically.

"Have you gotten the hang of it?"

Fang He nodded: "I'm just starting out, I'm not skilled enough yet."

Zhou Qiang nodded slightly, his eyes showing a hint of approval.

"Good, keep practicing."

"The essence of magic lies in mastery."

"Getting started is just the beginning; to use it freely in real-world situations, you need a lot of practice."

Fang He bowed: "Yes, team leader."

Zhou Qiang patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.

……

In the evening, Fang He sat by the spirit field and stretched his muscles.

Moonlight spilled onto the spirit fields, and the spirit grains swayed gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.

He took out a small shield charm and examined it for a moment.

Learning about vine techniques is just the first step.

Next, a lot of practice is needed to be able to use it freely in actual combat.

His vocabulary system complements the wood-based magic.

[Plant Affinity] deepens his understanding of plants and accelerates his learning of magic.

【Dead Tree Comes Back to Life】Increases the cultivation speed of wood-type techniques by 30%.

We've chosen the right path.

Fang He put away the small shield talisman and looked towards the dark sea in the distance.

For the next mission, I'll bring more talismans as backup.
