Half a day later, Lu Yang restored the three streams of spiritual energy.

Lu Yang probed into the storage bag with his divine sense and took out a bag of spiritual seeds.

The spirit seed of the first-tier spirit valley, Qinglingke.

This was a gift from Lu Yunxia to Lu Yang. She confiscated Lu Yang's spirit stones as a congratulatory gift to celebrate Lu Yang becoming a spirit plant master.

With Lu Yunxia's farming experience book and her guidance, plus Lu Yang's experience in planting Qingcang bamboo, Lu Yang was no longer a novice.

A bag of spirit seeds was scattered into the air, and the Minor Wind-Supporting Technique was used to evenly scatter the bag of spirit seeds across the spirit field.

Then, a small thick soil spell was applied, and as the spirit field was buried in the soil, streams of spiritual energy nourished the soil, making the soil quality of the spirit field even better.

This is the function of the Lesser Thick Earth Technique.

Looking at the weeds beside the spirit field, Lu Yang cast another minor spirit fire spell, burning them directly to ashes. Hmm, they burned out again.

The next day, after his cultivation, Lu Yang used the Minor Wind-Supporting Technique to scatter all the ashes of the weeds into the spirit field, which would become excellent fertilizer.

Then followed by a minor cloud and rain spell.

The seeds have just been planted, so we need to rain more frequently. We'll use the Small Thick Soil spell again every day, and then we can save some effort later.

To be honest, farming with magic isn't tiring at all, and Lu Yang actually found himself quite content with this kind of life.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Lu Yang's cultivation had gradually improved, and the spiritual energy within his spiritual seed had reached the Six Paths.

After a month of nurturing the Destiny-Breaking Pearl, its golden hue has begun to show.

Opening "Basic Techniques of Spirit Planting" again, Lu Yang prepared to learn the remaining four basic techniques of Spirit Planting as well.

It's actually a bit of a pity, because the luck nurtured by the Life-Breaking Pearl could be used to break through realms and seize that few percent, or even a few thousandths, or even smaller chance.

It can also be used to cultivate techniques and skills, seizing the small chance of success. Whether it is cultivating techniques or skills, the first one is the most difficult. Once you succeed once, there are almost no difficulties afterward.

The only thing it doesn't increase is the cultivation speed. After all, the Life-Breaking Pearl doesn't change Lu Yang's spiritual root aptitude. If it could be used for cultivation, Lu Yang would probably be able to make even more rapid progress.

Feeling a bit greedy, Lu Yang shook his head, banishing those thoughts, and looked at the four spells in his hand.

Small Spirit Cage Technique: Spiritual energy forms a cage to capture spirits and other creatures;

Minor Spirit-Severing Technique: Severing the Spirit and Cutting Off the Meridians;

Minor Spirit Gathering Technique: Gathering Spirit into a Vein;

Minor Spiritual Art: Generates vitality.

It is indeed difficult for a reason, and it is also very useful. At this time, the spirit field has already sprouted, and pests and birds often invade the spirit field. It is not easy to deal with these things.

The Lesser Spirit Cage Technique was specifically prepared for this purpose.

As for the Lesser Spirit Interception Technique, the Spirit Interception and Severing of Veins is obviously very domineering. It is a method to cut off the spiritual energy and veins of other places and take them away directly.

If Lu Yang can learn this, he can cut off the spiritual energy of other spiritual trees and pour it into his own spiritual field. Hmm, it's a bit underhanded, but it's definitely useful.

I've heard there's a powerful spirit-severing technique. My ancestor used this technique to bring spiritual veins from other places back to Qingcang Mountain and refine them into this grade of spiritual vein.

The Great Ancestor is now in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and there is a possibility that he will form his core. At that time, this second-tier spiritual vein will hold him back. The current method of refining the spiritual vein is probably to prepare for the subsequent core formation.

The Minor Spirit Gathering Technique can gather spiritual energy in a region, which is not only beneficial to spiritual fields but also to cultivators' practice. It is said that the Minor Spirit Gathering Array is based on this technique.

The Lesser Spirit Gathering Technique is slower, but it is most beneficial to the spirit field because it can improve the quality of the spirit field. If one uses it on the spirit field every day, perhaps one day, the spirit field under Lu Yang's control will become a second-tier spirit field.

Within a month, Lu Yang had already mastered the four basic techniques, activated the Life-Breaking Pearl, and started cultivating them directly.

The Lesser Spirit Cage Technique consumed about three days' worth of initial learning, the Lesser Spirit Gathering Technique consumed five days' worth, the Lesser Spirit Accumulation Technique consumed eight days' worth, and the Lesser Spirit Interception Technique consumed ten days' worth, yet there was still some left over.

Beside the sacred field.

Lu Yang gathered spiritual energy into a cage and probed it into the spiritual field.

Under the cover of his divine sense, no pest in the spirit field could escape Lu Yang's eyes. The spirit cage probed into the spirit field and accurately captured them. In no time, all of them were cleaned up.

Retracting the spirit cage, hundreds of pests fell to the ground, making Lu Yang feel a surge of satisfaction. "Awesome!"

They didn't throw away the insects either. When Lu Yang arrived, he saw a river not far away and decided to use them for fishing.

While you're at it, find some time to dig up some earthworms. Although they are insects, they are beneficial insects that can improve soil quality and increase yield.

However, after using this small spirit cage technique, three streams of spiritual energy were gone. The following four spells are not only more difficult to cultivate, but also consume even more spiritual energy.

If the Lesser Spirit Cage Technique is like this, then the other techniques that follow will likely consume even more energy. The remaining three strands of spiritual energy might not even be enough to use a Lesser Spirit Gathering Technique.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang also lost interest. After all, cultivation is the foundation. Right now, he doesn't need to worry too much about the spirit field. He just needs to cast spells on time. The focus going forward is still on cultivation.

Time flies, and another month has passed. It has been exactly three months since Lu Yang arrived at the Spirit Field.

Facing the rising sun, Lu Yang activated the Golden Sun Opening River Technique, probing his dantian with his divine sense. Within the spiritual seed, ten streams of spiritual energy were circulating.

In just three months, Lu Yang had accumulated ten strands of spiritual energy, and now was the perfect time to break through to the second level of Qi Refining.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the spiritual energy from the outside world surged toward Lu Yang. The ten streams of spiritual energy converged with the external spiritual energy, cleansed his meridians, circulated throughout his body, and finally circulated back to the spiritual seed, inscribing spiritual patterns.

One cycle, two cycles... By the ninth cycle, a spiritual pattern suddenly appeared on the spiritual seed.

Qi Refining Level Two, Success!

Opening his eyes, a glint of light flashed in Lu Yang's eyes. After more than a month of cultivating his Qi, he broke through to the second level of Qi Refining without any hindrance.

Standing there, Lu Yang was also excited. According to Lu Yunxia's technique, even with the aptitude of three spiritual roots, it would take half a year to break through to the second level of Qi Refining without the help of pills.

Lu Yang broke through in just three months, which is truly fast.

However, speed may not be a good thing in other people's eyes. Lu Yang used the Life-Breaking Pearl to conceal his cultivation level back to the first level of Qi Refining.

Cultivation is a lifelong endeavor; only by persevering can one have the last laugh.

The green barley ripens every six months, and now, three months later, the green barley in the spirit field has long since grown into a lush, green expanse.

According to Lu Yunxia's experience book, with the current scale of Qingling barley, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the harvest in six months should exceed the standard harvest by at least 10% to 20%.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang felt relieved.

These are all spirit stones.

Lu Yang went back inside, picked up the fishing rod and deck chair he had made a couple of days ago, and headed straight for the river.

Lu Yang had always enjoyed fishing in his previous life. After using the Minor Spirit Cage Technique to capture insects last time, he became even more eager to go fishing.

It took considerable willpower to push through to the second level of Qi Refining.

After walking a mile or two, Lu Yang heard the sound of water.

Parting the grass and trees, a great river came into Lu Yang's view.

"What a beautiful landscape of green hills and clear waters!"

In my previous life, I had traveled to many mountains and rivers, but none could compare to Qingcang Mountain. It truly deserves to be called a world of cultivation.

Lu Yang randomly picked a fishing spot, hooked the worm onto the hook, and cast it in.

Lying in the rocking chair, basking in the sunlight, with a gentle breeze on his face, Lu Yang felt that his state of mind was completely fulfilled.

This is life.

"Hmm! Got it!"

Whether it was because there were many fish in the river or because Lu Yang was lucky in his first time fishing, he caught one on his very first cast.

Quickly pull it up, and a large fish is thrown out of the water. In the sunlight, its tail flicks, revealing golden scales and jade fins; it turns out to be a different species.

"Golden Jade Carp!"
