in terms of difficulty, it was the most challenging spirit plant Chu Ning had encountered so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chu Ning accelerated the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit, he only needed ten Accelerating Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at this moment, he used a full twenty Accelerating Techniques to finally see a response from the blood sandalwood seed, which began to break its shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning sensed the changes in the blood sandalwood seed with his divine sense, immediately feeling joy in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accelerating Technique was sent out again; this time, his magical power release was more precise, directly targeting the crack in the shell towards the inner seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action was entirely instinctive for Chu Ning, who had not accelerated any spirit plant since practicing the Refining Spirit Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this approach turned out to be unexpectedly effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this spell cast by Chu Ning, the crack in the blood sandalwood seed’s shell widened instantly, and a tender sprout shot out as if about to break through the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Chu Ning didn’t hesitate and cast another Accelerating Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the tender sprout appeared as if aided by divine power, directly breaking through the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion on Chu Ning’s side was first discovered by He Changyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over to find Chu Ning was the first to complete the blood sandalwood acceleration, showing a surprised expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Zhuang Yunde and others noticed it, and they all turned their gaze toward Chu Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of surprise crossed Zhuang Yunde’s round face, which then returned to its usual smiling expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Junior Brother Chu can indeed surprise himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Chu Ning had already stood up and begun executing the hand formulas for the Ganlin Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Chu Ning was standing and completing the hand formulas for the Ganlin Technique, four others also completed their acceleration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two were men around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, the other two were Luo Hongping and Lu Yunfang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All five of them began casting the Ganlin Technique, but Chu Ning, who started first, ended up falling behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: the other four could instantly cast the Ganlin Technique too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Chu Ning had to spend time completing the hand formulas before finishing the Ganlin Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Yunde shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Chu Ning’s level evidenced by cultivating the Ink Spirit Bamboo, his proficiency in the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill was undoubtedly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t instant-cast, he was close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this simpler Ganlin Technique, how couldn’t Chu Ning instant-cast it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Zhuang Yunde suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled Chu Ning talking to him before about how well he matched with wood-element techniques like the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, everyone had already finished their Ganlin Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Hongping and Lu Yunfang actually started using the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill, and it seemed both could instant-cast it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the two of them, even the disciples named Lu and Chen could instant-cast the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Chu Ning wasn’t far behind and soon completed the Ganlin Technique spellcasting as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instant cast!
