Chapter 92 - 88: You’re Way Too Casual (2)
"Hmm?"
Just as Zhou Changwang was about to unleash the second Thousand Thunder Flashes, he suddenly noticed two Black Needle Poison Bees coming together from afar, swaying and rapidly approaching his Spirit Field.
"Awoo..."
The Little Spirit Dog, ever dutiful, clearly noticed these two Black Needle Poison Bees as well, itching to leap and pounce on them once they landed.
However, it hadn’t had the chance to act.
Bzz bzz bzz...
One by one, the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees swiftly greeted them.
Then, with just one charge.
The two Black Needle Poison Bees were torn apart and devoured cleanly.
The Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees, although they feed on Metal Spirit Ore, have a diet far more varied than just Metal Spirit Ore; they also enjoy Spirit Beast flesh and blood. These Black Needle Poison Bees, despite their ugly and fierce appearance, are rich in Spiritual Qi and tenderly delicious in their eyes, a perfect meal that doesn’t wear out their teeth.
The Little Spirit Dog, seeing a troop of Gold-Slaying Spirit Bees so easily shred the Black Needle Poison Bees, shrank its dog head back and showed a look of fear.
"Don’t worry, they won’t bite you."
Zhou Changwang had long issued a command to the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees not to attack the Little Spirit Dog. As long as the Little Spirit Dog doesn’t provoke them, the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees naturally won’t attack.
Observing the combat capabilities of these Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees, Zhou Changwang was completely relieved.
With them guarding, external Spirit Insects are almost impossible to break through and ravage the Spirit Field.
Thus, in the following period, Zhou Changwang finally resumed his usual cultivation routine.
Starting each day with the cultivation of the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques and ending with ’viewing’ the Taiyi Atlas...
"Finally, another magic is about to break through to Great Success and ascend to the Realm of Perfection."
That day, Zhou Changwang stood in front of a Thunder Spirit Rice Tree and glanced at his Attribute Panel.
Magic: Fertilization Technique (Great Success 795/800)
The experience points for the Fertilization Technique are almost full, ready to ascend from Great Success Realm to Perfection.
Witnessing this, a hint of excitement appeared on Zhou Changwang’s face.
Moreover, what excited him even more was that besides the Fertilization Technique, other magics like Calming Technique, Fireball Technique, Protective Body Technique, and Light Body Skill also have experience points reaching Great Success levels of five to six hundred, nearing the Realm of Perfection.
A little more time and effort would yield multiple magic at the Perfection Level, forming several magic seals, Dharma Seeds...
The significance of this is immense for him.
It would unquestionably elevate his strength to a higher tier.
"But before that, let me first enhance this Fertilization Technique and observe the effects of the Perfection-level Fertilization Technique."
Zhou Changwang calmed down after a moment, then continued to cast the Fertilization Technique.
One, two, three...
Fertilization Technique +1
Fertilization Technique +1
Fertilization Technique +1
When the fifth Fertilization Technique was released by him.
Bzz~!
His Heart Spirit trembled, immediately feeling an expansion of Spiritual Light within his mind, followed by the emergence of a distinct magic seal.
It intertwined with the previously unique magic seal of Geng Metal Finger, each shining with its unique Spiritual Light.
The Dharma Seed has formed!
The Fertilization Technique reached Perfection, no further changes.
Immediately, driven by instinct, he swiftly pointed at the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree before him.
At that moment, a unique aura, vastly surpassing the previous by many times, was sprinkled upon the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.
Bzz!
Almost instantaneously.
The Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, initially only up to Zhou Changwang’s thigh, rapidly grew taller, surpassing his waist and reaching chest height.
And shortly after, at its top, buds sprouted, branching into dozens of stems, which then bore white blooms from the end of each branch, gradually appearing.
"This is the effect after the Fertilization Technique reaches Perfection and forms a Dharma Seed?"
Zhou Changwang stood wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
Even though he knew that the condensate effect of the Fertilization Technique with the Dharma Seed would inevitably improve in quality, directly maturing a Thunder Spirit Rice Tree still in its nursery phase to the point of approaching Spirit Rice condensation was somewhat shocking.
This is equivalent to at least a month’s worth of growth for a Thunder Spirit Rice Tree.
"However, this is natural.
The effect of merging Spiritual Power, Spiritual Power, and Power of Heaven and Earth Rules is extraordinary."
Contemplating this, Zhou Changwang quietly calculated that with his current strength of Spiritual Power, he could continuously cast twenty spells of Perfection-level Fertilization Technique, as for Geng Metal Finger, it’s twelve.
And this, undeniably, is due to the Taiyi Atlas.
It has boosted his strength of Spiritual Power significantly.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that a magic of Perfection Level, even when cast without relying on the Dharma Seed within the mind, still possesses considerably enhanced power compared to its Great Success stages.
For instance, with the Fertilization Technique, a spell during Great Success could heighten the growth efficiency of a Spirit Plant by ten days, whereas Perfection Level raises it to fifteen days.
It seems to merely boost it by fifty percent, but remember, the growth of Spirit Plants often hinges on Spiritual Qi; some require soil nutrients and sunlight. An increase of fifty percent on the original base is already immensely powerful.
The thirty-day effect of the Dharma Seed transcends the realm of ’techniques’, nearing limitlessly ’the way’.
...
Within a vast manor, a middle-aged cultivator with a sinister face and a hooked nose stood before a gigantic hive, a flicker of doubt crossing his eyes.
