Chapter 74
: The Seed of Dao (Please continue reading)
"This is…"
Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, but after understanding the information he had gained, he was overjoyed.
"The Seed of the Dao!..."
The spell "Woodworm Puppet" does not create a magic seed.
Rather, it is the "seed of the Tao".
According to his insights.
Unlike the "Dharma Seed," the "Tao Seed" contains a primordial spirit that can assist its master in casting spells with less energy and greater power.
the most important is.
The "Tao Seed" has a growth potential that the "Dharma Seed" does not possess.
Ordinary spells, even if they form a seed of magic and nurture it further in the future, cannot exceed the limitations of the spell. A low-grade spell remains a low-grade spell, and a mid-grade spell remains a mid-grade spell.
The "seeds of the Dao" that can give rise to primordial spirits are different.
Even if it's just a common low-grade technique, once a "Dao Seed" is cultivated, it can be nurtured and cultivated to transcend its original limitations and grow into a mid-grade or high-grade technique...
It's even a second-tier technique that can only be practiced by those at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Furthermore, the techniques have broken away from the original framework.
Even a small fireball spell can eventually transform into a celestial fire that can burn mountains and boil seas.
Information has been obtained.
Just moments ago, Li Changsheng had been hesitant to use his spiritual resources recklessly, but now he felt it was a good thing!
Compared to obtaining a "seed of the Dao".
A little dizziness and headache are nothing!
A while later.
Li Changsheng had just calmed his excited emotions and focused his mind on continuing to weave the Dao seed of "wooden puppet spiritual power".
Its various effects came to mind.
The first step is to form a contract and refine the spirit insects.
Compared to the "Wood Insect Puppet" spellbook, which states that one can only contract and refine a maximum of ten low-grade spirit insects in the early stages of Qi Refining, thirty in the middle stages, and ninety in the late stages, this is different from the previous version.
The Wood Insect Puppet Technique, which nurtures the "Seed of Dao," breaks this limitation, no longer depending on cultivation level, but on the strength of the soul.
In other words.
As long as his soul is strong enough, he can contract and refine as many spirit insect imprints as he can bear.
And it is directed by thought.
It makes controlling spirit insects even easier.
Li Changsheng hadn't tested how many it could hold, so he didn't know for the time being, but it was definitely much, much more than ten.
Secondly, that is.
The special "wooden puppet spiritual power" nurtured by the "Tao Seed" wooden insect puppet gives rise to a special ability.
That is to enlighten plants and spirit seeds for one's own use.
The strength of a wooden puppet depends on the amount of its "spiritual power," as well as the size and quality of the plant and its spiritual seed.
"Is this an ability derived from the 'Soul-Capturing Wood' immortal seed...?"
After learning more, Li Changsheng's eyes lit up with even more joy. He glanced around and his gaze fell on a newly sprouted goosegrass in front of him.
Reach out and touch its leaves.
In Dantian.
The golden-white spider claws of the "Tao Seed" were woven with bronze-colored spiritual power. A wisp of it was drawn out and flowed into the spiritual veins.
outside world.
A copper-colored spiritual light burst forth from Li Changsheng's fingertip and surged into the goosegrass. Immediately, he felt that he could control this small grass and change its form by consuming "wooden puppet spiritual power".
"What a strange feeling..."
After silently experiencing it for a while, he stared at the goosegrass, a thought stirring in his mind.
next moment.
Then you see the tiny goosegrass seemingly come alive, its branches and leaves supporting itself on the ground, slowly pulling itself out of the soil.
Using its base as feet, it wriggles from side to side.
"interesting…"
Li Changsheng smiled and used his mind to manipulate the "wooden puppet's spiritual power" to change the form of the goosegrass.
Tiny specks of verdigris shimmered.
Then you see the roots of the goosegrass contract and weave into feet, and the branches and leaves fold inward and melt into a torso, hands, and head.
It had only changed halfway.
The "wooden puppet's spiritual power" was then completely exhausted.
The half-finished little figure fell to the ground with a thud, and the emerald green branches visibly turned yellow. In just a few breaths, it withered into a pile of grass clippings.
"Is changing forms too energy-consuming...?"
Li Changsheng watched this scene thoughtfully, and then tried it a few more times with great interest.
The final conclusion was reached.
It is easy to control plants and trees, and the "wooden puppet's spiritual power" is not consumed much.
However, if plants are to change their form, the rate at which "wooden puppet spiritual power" is consumed increases by dozens of times. Just transforming a weed into a human form requires two strands of "wooden puppet spiritual power".
Fortunately, the consumption decreased after the change.
However, it consumes the life force of the plants. A weed can be drained and turned into grass clippings in just a dozen breaths.
When the sun hangs high in the sky.
The scorching sun shone down.
Li Changsheng stood up, still somewhat unsatisfied, and placed his palm on the array barrier, dispelling the isolation of the small space.
My gaze swept over it.
The little ones, including Hua'er, are singing nursery rhymes.
Ya Ya joined them at some point, clapping her little hands to keep the beat, flashing her white teeth, and singing along excitedly, her little face flushed.
Frog Pride abandoned its life seed "Love Flower" and instead lay down under the "Soul-Capturing Wood" immortal life seed, half-closing its eyes and its belly bulging.
The wise man stayed in his usual spot, the fishpond, enjoying the cool air.
When the gaze fell upon Ya Ya, Wa Tianjiao, and Da Congming.
Li Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up. "The 'Dao Seed' Wood Insect Puppet Contract works on the soul, so can it be used to contract with Sprout, Frog Prodigy, and the like?..."
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Both affect the soul; contracting insects can do it, and naturally, contracting spirit beasts can too.
However, he was not in a hurry to contract with Ya Ya, Wa Tianjiao, and Da Congming. He planned to find a guinea pig to test them first.
Suppressing his thoughts, Li Changsheng strode towards the location of the "Soul-Capturing Wood" Immortal Spirit Seed. Upon reaching it, he looked at the little ones whose foreheads were covered in sweat and waved his hand, saying:
"That's all for today, I'm done singing."
"Come on, everyone, have some of the spiritual spring water to cool off in the summer heat..."
Before he could take the jade jar containing the spiritual spring water, Ya Ya ran over, picked up the jar, turned around and ran back, handed it to Hua'er, and grinned.
"Oh dear..."
"Thank you, Ya Ya, thank you, Uncle Li..."
Hua'er's face lit up with a smile. Li Changsheng thanked Ya Ya, who was grinning from ear to ear, picked up the jade jar, drank two mouthfuls of spiritual spring water, and handed it to Tie Zhu beside him.
"Thank you, Ya Ya, thank you, Uncle Li..."
Tiezhu also learned to say thank you, just like the flowers.
"Oh dear..."
Ya Ya grinned, showing her little white teeth, and made two "ya ya" sounds. It was unclear what she was saying, but she heard Hua'er and the other little ones thanking her. Whether it was from the heat or from happiness, her little face turned bright red.
Wait until they finish drinking.
Clutching the jade jar, she ran to Li Changsheng's side, raised the jar, tilted her head back, and grinned, showing off her small white teeth.
"Oh dear..."
"Ya Ya is such a good girl..."
Li Changsheng half-squatted down, took the jade jar, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and held the jar to her lips, smiling:
"Does Ya Ya want some water...?"
Ya Ya looked at him, then at the jade jar, hesitated for a moment, nodded, opened her mouth and brought it close to the jade jar, gulped down two mouthfuls, seemed to find it quite delicious, picked up the jade jar and drank two more mouthfuls.
"Oh dear..."
After drinking about half a can, his lower abdomen swelled slightly, and he put the jade can down. His crimson pupils blinked, full of confusion.
It seemed to be wondering why it tasted so good.
"If we like it, we'll drink it every day..."
Li Changsheng smiled and touched Ya Ya's soft, short hair, thinking that it would look quite nice if she tied it into a double bun like a flower when it grew a little longer.
"Oh dear..."
Ya Ya put down the jade jar, grinned her little white teeth, and snuggled up to him affectionately.
Soon.
Then Hua'er's mothers came to pick them up.
We saw the little ones off.
Just as Li Changsheng was about to return to the "Spirit Gathering Array", a shout suddenly came from the side.
"Senior Brother Li, wait a minute..."
Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, but after understanding the information he had gained, he was overjoyed.
