Even too much Spiritual Qi in the raindrops could slow their growth or even stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this skill, he could flexibly adjust the application of the Spirit Rain Skill according to the growth habits of the spirit medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping joyfully thought, and his work efficiency increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he had completed watering the remaining spiritual fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving his payment, Old Man Lu hurriedly dragged him to the next location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ending his day’s work, Xu Ping walked on the way home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the last time he was attacked by a robber, he always chose the main road, which was undoubtedly much safer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, he would encounter patrols, which settled his heart quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xu Ping passed by Old Sun’s spiritual fields and couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, and the spiritual fields were overgrown with weeds, reaching higher than half a person, completely drowning out the spirit rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before him made his heart tense up, clearly an indication of long-term neglect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lifeline for spiritual farmers, such neglect of the fields was truly unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that Old Sun really got possessed by evil spirits?\" This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, immediately bringing unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding air seemed to become cold and icy, making one shudder involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he could only quicken his pace to head home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The materials for the Nourishing Life Skill have been brewed into medicine, starting cultivation of the Nourishing Body Skill today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast tide is getting worse, and if evil spirits come now, it would be adding insult to injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, improving his strength was the only way to bring him safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping went to the kitchen, boiling a pot of hot water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found a large wooden barrel and poured all the hot water into it, just about to pour in the medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knock! Knock! Knock!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, there was a knocking on the door outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who’s looking for me again!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping opened the door, and it was the charming and beautiful Lv Liu in traditional dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Lv?\" Xu Ping was taken aback, not expecting her visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not welcoming me?\" Lv Liu giggled with a hand over her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could I!\" Xu Ping awkwardly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, I brought you something good for your health, genuine Demon Beast Flesh.\" Lv Liu laughed while handing over the meat she was holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this is too precious.\" Xu Ping hesitated, repeatedly declining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Demon Beast Flesh prices have dropped considerably, it’s still a luxury for regular spirit farmers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a piece of Demon Beast Flesh, not that valuable. It’s courtesy, no rejecting it next time I ask Fellow Daoist Xu for help.\" Lv Liu’s tone carried a teasing hint, as if suggesting something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... alright.\" Xu Ping took the meat from her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because refusing someone’s kindness is inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’m leaving then. Oh, Fellow Daoist Xu, I gave you Demon Beast Flesh secretly from my husband, don’t tell him.\" Lv Liu blinked her bright eyes at Xu Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping was bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it was Lv Liu and her husband’s gesture to bond after his Spirit Rain Skill breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out it was secretly from Lv Liu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of development is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Xu Ping decided to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what development, female cultivators would only slow his cultivation pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Xu Ping put the matter out of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their conversation was brief, so the hot water was still steaming without needing to be reheated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping again took out the medicine from his storage bag, opened the container, and poured the dark green liquid into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the once clear hot water turned to a dark green color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Ping took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biting his teeth, he stepped into the barrel, undressing completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entry, a fierce burning pain washed over him, causing Xu Ping to gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire skin became beet-red from the scalding water, like a boiled shrimp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to guess to know his skin was severely scalded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping endured the pain, forming a peculiar sign with his hands, then starting the Nourishing Life Skill cultivation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrel, filled with the dark green liquid, started emitting gentle steam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightly blue-tinged steam entered his body through every pore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xu Ping felt intense skin pain throughout his body, even unrest within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various sensations, tingling, itching, soreness, pain...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All sorts wreaked havoc inside, greatly testing his will!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping strived to keep his consciousness lucid, guiding the medicinal liquid through his body as per the first-level entry formula of the Nourishing Life Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark green liquid clung to his skin, seeping into his body, nourishing his bones, cleansing his meridians...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process was extremely painful, as if someone was forcibly combing his flesh, meridians, bones with an iron comb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to give up halfway, Xu Ping gritted his teeth to persevere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, his teeth were biting till they bled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware of how much time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt a lightness all over, all pain and discomfort vanished, replaced by a warm stream swirling inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he completely indulged in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, not knowing how much time had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle moonlight seeped through the window’s gap, scattering soft light patches, embellishing the tidy room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the barrel, Xu Ping with his eyes shut, absorbed the last trace of the dark green air, turning the dark green liquid to transparency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyelids fluttered, and moments later, he opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black pupils had a tinge of light blue now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled a mouthful of foul breath, blinking energetically, then sprang up, letting the cool water cascade off him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the newfound enormous bodily strength, he knew he had successfully reached the entry level of the Nourishing Body Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he clenched his fists with force, the muscles on his arms hardened like iron, veins bulging under his skin, and joints made a crisp crackling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected such strong body refining effects from a life-nourishing cultivation technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength increased by several times compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pinched his arm’s skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The texture was no longer soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a tough feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like pinching cowhide.\u003C\u002Fp>",1208,"2026-06-02T06:47:58.750Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e26c7708bc3ee37a02b3afc7090025fc580e046d7d8cc2389244f18b2e07b01","cultivation-starts-from-farming-chapter-15","cultivation-starts-from-farming-chapter-13",1040,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-starts-from-farming-cover.jpg"]
