Dao Seed Immortal Lord

Li Bai clenched his fists in excitement, his eyes gleaming with burning passion. He took a deep breath and tried to circulate the "Azure Wood Spirit-Nourishing Technique".

The speed at which spiritual energy enters the body is several times faster than before!

Moreover, it's not just wood-attribute techniques; he'll find it much easier to cultivate any of the five elements' techniques or spells.

"The Supreme Mystery Immortal Mirror... the Dao Seed... with such a supreme treasure by my side, what is there to worry about in achieving immortality!"

Li Bai was overjoyed, imagining an infinite future.

Right now, he's just a lowly spirit plant servant, with only a weak cultivation at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm. But with the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror by his side, reaching Foundation Establishment or even Core Formation in the future isn't unimaginable.

If one truly becomes a Core Formation True Person... the strongest person in the Flowing Cloud Sect, this immortal sect, is only a Core Formation True Person. At that time, one will be free to roam the vast sky and have truly secured a place in the world of cultivation.

He sat cross-legged for a long time, taking several deep breaths before calming his turbulent emotions.

His gaze fell on the strange, tender shoot that was still only two millimeters tall, and a strange light of anticipation flashed in Li Bai's eyes.

I wonder what kind of Dao Seed this spiritual plant will yield if it matures and is devoured and refined by the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror?

In the days that followed, Li Bai's life became more regular.

During the day, they work in the spirit fields of Peach Blossom Village, tending to the five spirit seeds and spirit rice.

Returning to the wooden house at night, he entered the Tai Xuan Immortal Cave Heaven to cultivate the "Azure Wood Spiritual Essence Technique" and spells, while also tending to the spiritual plants within the cave heaven.

After gathering all five spiritual seeds, Li Bai became even more adept at cultivating spiritual plants.

Previously, he could only sense the general state of spiritual plants. Now, with the blessing of the Five Elements Dao Seed, he can sense the specific needs of spiritual plants for the Five Elements spiritual energy—those lacking wood energy, water energy, or earth energy are all clearly visible.

He adjusted the arrangement of the Spirit Gathering Array and the method of using the Spirit Liquid to meet the needs of different spiritual plants.

Water-loving flowers thrive in water, so he increased the proportion of water-attribute spiritual energy gathered in the Spirit Gathering Array.

The Ganoderma lucidum thrives in soil, and by mixing more organic matter into the soil, it enhances the soil's fertility.

Vajra Grass Roots are fond of metal, so he arranged the Spirit Gathering Array around it to increase the concentration of metal-type spiritual energy.

These subtle adjustments, though seemingly insignificant, have a remarkable effect on promoting the growth of spiritual plants.

The petals of the aquatic flower are fuller, and the yield of water dew has increased by nearly 30%; the cap of the earth spirit mushroom is larger and thicker, and the activity of the spores is stronger; the leaves of the golden grass root are more upright, and the golden veins are clearer.

Li Bai was overjoyed by these changes and busied himself with activities in the grotto every day.

His progress in cultivation is also quite remarkable.

The progress of "Green Wood Spiritual Essence Technique" has steadily increased, from the initial 0.06% per day to about 0.14%.

At this rate, it will probably take him about two years to break through to the second level of the Qi Refining Realm. Although it's still slow, it's already twice as fast as the four years he estimated when he first broke through.

His magical skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Through daily use, the four basic spells—Rainy Day Spell, Wind Spell, Earth Movement Spell, and Spirit Sword Spell—have long since reached perfection.

Now, when Li Bai casts these spells, he no longer needs to deliberately perform hand seals or chant incantations. With a thought, his magical power flows naturally, and the spells take shape instantly.

When the Spirit Rain Technique is cast, a light drizzle falls from the sky, covering the entire acre of spirit field. The rainwater is even and fine, and each drop contains a faint spiritual energy, which can nourish the spirit plants to the greatest extent.

When the Wind Sweeping Technique is cast, a gentle breeze sweeps across the spirit field, carrying away excess moisture and preventing the spirit rice from lodging.

When the Earth Movement Technique is cast, the spiritual soil automatically loosens and evenly displaces, without damaging the roots of the spiritual plants.

When the Spirit Sword Technique is used, a thin, hair-like sword aura shoots out from the fingertips, precisely killing the pests in the spirit field without harming the spirit plants in the slightest.

Although these spells are not of high rank, they are sufficient for the task of tending to spirit plants.

The plant cultivator's spells have also improved significantly.

The Wood Spirit Technique has been upgraded from Advanced to Perfect.

Now, when Li Bai uses the Wood Spirit Technique, a rich emerald green light appears in his palm, and the Wood Spirit energy nourishes each spiritual plant precisely, like silk threads.

After absorbing the essence of wood spirit, the leaves of the spiritual plant become greener, its root system becomes more developed, and its growth rate increases significantly.

The Spirit Gathering Technique has been upgraded from minor to major.

Now, Li Bai no longer needs to inscribe array patterns on the ground when setting up the Spirit Gathering Array. His magic power flows through his fingertips, and the array patterns naturally take shape, float in the air, and then slowly fall down and merge into the spiritual soil.

The coverage area of ​​the Spirit Gathering Array has been expanded to a radius of five feet, and the efficiency of gathering spiritual energy has nearly doubled.

The Spirit Nourishing Technique has also advanced from the Lesser Completion to the Greater Completion. Now, when Li Bai uses the Spirit Nourishing Technique, he can not only sense the growth status of the spirit plants, but also their emotions—although this term is not entirely accurate, it is indeed the case.

He can sense whether the spiritual plants are comfortable, hungry, or thirsty, and then adjust the watering, fertilizing, and pest control plans based on these perceptions.

The progress of the Spirit Condensation Technique was the slowest, but it did not stagnate.

After more than two months of cultivation, Li Bai's Spirit Condensation Technique has improved from beginner to minor mastery. Now, he can condense two drops of spiritual liquid every day, and the quality of the spiritual liquid has also improved, becoming purer and containing more concentrated spiritual energy.

The training of the pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique and the Major Spirit Sword Technique is also progressing steadily.

The pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique has been upgraded from Mastery to Mastery.

Now, when Li Bai uses this magic, the wind howls and thunder roars, making it nearly twice as powerful as before.

Although it has no real offensive power, it should be enough to deter low-level monsters.

Li Bai's Great Spirit Sword Technique has been upgraded from Proficiency to Mastery. Now, he can simultaneously condense nine sword energies, which are more solid and powerful, nearly 50% stronger than before.

"Nine sword energies are still not enough." Li Bai shook his head, looking at the spirit wood stake shattered by the sword energies. At the perfect state, the nine swords combined into one is the true face of the Great Spirit Sword Technique.

However, he also knew that magical cultivation could not be rushed. A little progress each day, little by little, would eventually lead to mastery.

On this day, Li Bai was using the Wood Spirit Technique to nourish the Five Spirit Seeds in the Spirit Field.

It was late autumn, and the spiritual fields surrounding Peach Blossom Village were golden. The low-grade spiritual rice was nearing maturity, and the heavy ears of rice drooped their heads, swaying gently in the breeze.

The Five Spirit Seeds in Li Bai's one-acre spirit field were growing the best, especially the few Flame Fruit plants. The vines climbed all over the field ridges, and the bright red fruits hung from the branches, looking like rubies adorning the green leaves from afar.

"Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Li!"

A series of urgent shouts came from afar.

Li Bai looked up and saw Old Zhao from the neighboring spirit field, limping towards him with a look of panic on his face.

"What's wrong?" Li Bai put down his work.

"The Immortal Sect...the Immortal Sect has sent people!" Old Zhao gasped for breath, pointing in the direction of the village. "They didn't come on swords like they do when collecting tributes; they hovered directly in the sky in a spirit boat! Senior Brother Feng summoned all the servants above the first level of Qi Refining to the square, saying there's something important!"
