Dao Seed Immortal Lord

[Cultivation Technique: Myriad Woods Qi Refining Technique (Tier 1, Low Grade, Level 1, 0.07%)]

Looking at these words, Li Bai pondered to himself: "If cultivating for one night improves by 0.06%, then perhaps one day would improve by more than 0.1%... However, I still have to take care of the spirit field matters. Even if I squeeze in some time, I can probably only improve by 0.06%-0.08% per day."

"That means it will take about four years to break through to the second level of the Qi Refining Realm."

Four years later, he was twenty-three, which was still alright...

Then, if you want to break through to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, it will take even longer.

But should it be achievable before the age of thirty?

If he applies for the introductory trial mission at that time and succeeds, he can join the outer sect of Liuyun Sect and become a true disciple of Liuyun Sect.

Thirty years old is still an age for hard work; it's not too late.

Li Bai's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. As long as he became a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, he could escape the cage of Peach Blossom Village and no longer have to toil in the fields all day long, being sucked dry.

The morning sun shines on the sacred fields surrounding Peach Blossom Village, and dewdrops roll on the leaves of the sacred rice, reflecting a crystal-clear luster.

Li Bai pushed open the door of the wooden house and took a deep breath of the cool morning air.

After breaking through to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, his five senses became much more acute than before. He could clearly smell the fragrance of grass and trees in the air, hear the faint sounds of insects crawling in the distant spirit fields, and even vaguely detect the sound of dewdrops sliding off the leaves of the spirit rice in the spirit fields.

"This feeling... is definitely different."

Li Bai stretched his limbs and felt the emerald green seed of magic power within his body slowly rotating. Strands of magic power flowed out from it, spreading throughout his body along his meridians, filling him with a sense of power.

He picked up the hoe he had used for over a year from the corner of the wall and walked towards his small plot of land.

Along the way, the spirit plant servants they encountered all turned their heads to look at them.

"Hey, Xiaobai, you seem a little different today?"

"You feel much more energetic. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Judging from his complexion... could he have broken through to a higher level?"

A sharp-eyed old handyman noticed something amiss and stared at him with surprise.

But I'm not sure, and I even suspect it's just my imagination.

After all, Li Bai has only been in Peach Blossom Village for two years, and it's unprecedented in Peach Blossom Village that he was able to break through to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm so quickly.

Li Bai simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

Arriving at the edge of the spirit field, he looked at the thriving low-grade spirit rice in front of him, took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and his internal magical power surged.

"Spirit Rain Technique!"

Wisps of moisture gathered in his palm, transforming into a light drizzle that evenly sprinkled onto the spiritual field.

Unlike the strain he felt when casting the Spirit Rain spell before, now that he had broken through to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, Li Bai felt that the spell was running much more smoothly, the mana consumption was much less, and the coverage of the rain was nearly 30% larger than before, and the rain mist was also more delicate and even.

A line of words popped into my mind.

[Rain of Light Spell +0.1%]

Li Bai's eyes lit up: "After breaking through my cultivation level, it seems that practicing these spells has become much easier."

He spent two years practicing the Spirit Rain Technique before he could barely master it. He knew all too well how difficult it was to cultivate these spells, including the profound understanding of the spells themselves, the subtle control over the operation of magical power, and even the importance of timing and location.

However, now that he has reached the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, become a true cultivator, and fully mastered the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror, he suddenly realized...

This spell doesn't seem too difficult to practice now!

In a day, he can cast the Spirit Rain spell at least ten times, which is more than 1% increase in proficiency.

At this rate, he could improve his Spirit Rain Technique from proficient to master in just over three months, which is a much faster pace.

If the Rain of Spirits spell works like this, then what about other spells...?

Thinking of this, Li Bai's eyes lit up, and his heart filled with anticipation.

Improving a spell is not just about changing its numerical values; more importantly, it's about deepening your understanding of the spell itself. This leads to significant improvements in the efficiency, power, and energy consumption of casting spells, and you may experience moments of sudden inspiration, as if you've had an epiphany.

This was undoubtedly good news for him, who had to exhaust his magical power every day to tend to the spiritual field.

As the sun rose higher, Li Bai busied himself in the spiritual field.

He cast the Rain of Spirits, the Wind of Smash, and the Earth of Movement spells in turn, and after each spell, he could feel that his understanding of the spell had deepened.

Those magical energy flow routes that originally required deliberate guidance gradually became natural, as if they were engraved into their very bones.

[Wind Slash +0.1%]

Earth Movement Technique +0.1%.

[Rain of Light Spell +0.1%]

As information flooded his mind, Li Bai felt delighted, and his work became much easier.

At noon, under the blazing sun, Li Bai sat on the edge of the field, took out two steamed cornbreads from his pocket, and ate a simple meal with a pot of cool well water.

As he glanced across the spirit field, he noticed tiny insect holes on the leaves of several spirit rice plants.

"Tsk, it's infested with worms again."

Li Bai put down the cornbread, stood up, and went to the few stalks of sacred rice to examine them carefully.

It is a small insect called rice planthopper, which sucks the sap of sacred rice. If it is not dealt with in time, it can spread to the entire acre of sacred rice field in one or two days.

He made a hand seal and unleashed his spirit sword technique, a thin, hair-like beam of magical energy shooting out from his fingertips, precisely killing the rice planthoppers on those few leaves.

[Spirit Sword Technique +0.1%]

what.

It rose another 0.1%.

"I use the Spirit Sword Technique less often, so my progress is the slowest." Li Bai digested the flash of inspiration for the Spirit Sword Technique that appeared in his mind, then shook his head and continued to bury himself in dealing with the pests.

The day slipped by quietly in the midst of busyness.

As evening approached, Li Bai, somewhat weary, finished his work, but instead of going straight back to his wooden hut, he turned a corner and headed towards Old He's fenced courtyard.

Old He was tidying up farm tools in the yard when he saw Li Bai coming over. He was about to greet him when he suddenly stopped, his cloudy old eyes staring intently at Li Bai, his pupils slightly contracting.

"You... you've already broken through!?"

Old He's voice was filled with disbelief and astonishment.

He put down the hoe in his hand, walked quickly to Li Bai, looked him up and down several times, and even released a wisp of his divine sense to probe him.

"Qi Refinement Realm Level 1... It really is Qi Refinement Realm Level 1! How did you break through in such a short time?"

Li Bai smiled slightly and bowed to Lao He with clasped hands: "I have broken through. I have to thank Lao He for that Qi-refining grass. Otherwise, it might have taken me a long time to break through."

Old He shook his head and sighed, "It seems your talent is even better than I imagined... Although I gave you a high-grade Qi Refining Grass, it's just a Qi Refining Grass. It might have some effect before it's refined into a pill, but it's definitely not as good as a Qi Refining Pill."

"Your rapid breakthrough is due to your own talent and ability, and has little to do with my Qi-refining grass."

Despite saying that, Old He still had a relieved smile on his face.

He had lived in Peach Blossom Village for decades and had seen too many spiritual plants and servants. There were very few who could break through from a mortal to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm in just two years.

Li Bai's speed suggests that he indeed possessed some divine affinity.
