Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

It seems the proportions aren't quite right?

"Yes!"

The whole person instantly entered a state of enlightenment.

A profound and mysterious feeling persisted for five breaths, then withdrew.

At the same time, this high-rank defensive spell was elevated once again.

【Remaining Lifespan: 725 years】

【Xuanmu Golden Body Technique: Second Layer】

Effect One: Epidermis hardens like ironwood

Effect Two: Ironwood can reflect damage

Effect Three: Physical resistance increased +20%

Effect Four: Bone resilience enhanced

Effect Five: Can withstand three elephants treading together

Special Effect One: Abrasions heal in 3 breaths

Special Effect Two: Bone fractures heal in 1 day

Xu Zhangqing chose to raise it by one layer first because he wanted to see what the effects would be like.

As of now, the difference between the first and second layers is reflected in four aspects: defense, resilience, recovery, and physical strike resistance.

It appears the further one goes, the stronger the effects in this regard become.

【Consume 30 years of lifespan to raise Xuanmu Golden Body Technique to Fifth Layer?】

"Yes." Xu Zhangqing decisively maxed it out.

By now, his lifespan had long since broken through seven hundred years.

A mere few decades — not worth caring about at all.

Casually harvesting one mu of spirit field would recover it quickly.

Immediately, the whole person entered that profound and mysterious state of enlightenment once again.

Because this time he maxed it out, the duration lasted longer.

The whole person seemed to be cultivating automatically; various insights became increasingly clear.

Experience and techniques regarding the Xuanmu Golden Body Technique were mastered more and more.

【Remaining Lifespan: 695 years】

【Xuanmu Golden Body Technique: Fifth Layer】

Effect One: Epidermis hardens like ironwood, can reflect damage, physical strike resistance enhanced +50%

Effect Two: Bone resilience enhanced, can withstand five elephants treading together, physical damage reduction +40%

Effect Three: Internal organs generate spirit pattern meridians, forming inner armor, physical impact resistance +30%

Effect Four: Heart transforms into a Green Wood Spirit Seed; recovery speed increases +20% when near spiritual plants

Effect Five: Full body covered in spirit patterns, immune to pain; at death's door the flesh body transforms into a tree, damage resistance +100%

Special Effect One: Trivial abrasions heal in 3 breaths

Special Effect Two: Tendon and bone cracks heal in 1 day

Special Effect Three: Viscera damage heals in 3 days

Special Effect Four: Fatal injury shifts to feigned death

"Hiss!" Xu Zhangqing sucked in a cold breath.

Although he knew high-rank defensive spells were very powerful, he didn't expect them to be this powerful.

Maxed at five layers — defense, damage resistance, and recovery have reached an astonishing degree.

One can only say, an immortal sect truly lives up to being an immortal sect.

The exchanged cultivation methods and spells are not only all complete, but their effects are also extremely strong.

Swap it for a loose cultivator market, or even an ordinary cultivation clan — not to mention they'd have only one or two complete methods, many aspects would be heavily discounted.

Seeing the 【Xuanmu Golden Body Technique】 with so many astonishing effects, Xu Zhangqing couldn't even be bothered to tend to his spirit field; he jogged straight back to the wooden house and entered the kitchen.

Without any hesitation, he immediately picked up the kitchen knife on the cutting board.

This knife had accompanied him for a long time.

Ever since he joined the Spirit Field Core, it had been used for cooking.

Sharpened from time to time, therefore extremely sharp.

Slicing melons and cutting vegetables was even more effortless.

Today he finally had to... deal ruthlessly with himself.

Xu Zhangqing held the kitchen knife in his right hand, aimed at the back of his left hand, and lightly drew it across.

By rights, a fine wound should have appeared, even stinging pain and bleeding.

But now, not only did no wound appear, there wasn't even any bleeding — merely a single, not very distinct, faint white scratch mark.

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Am I not a wood cultivator? How did I end up seeming like a body cultivator."

But it's pretty good — this is exactly the effect I wanted.

Immediately, he continued to increase the force, wanting to see if he could break the skin.

But after trying for a good while, it still did not cause any damage whatsoever.

This kitchen knife, although it counts as a type of Daily Spirit Tool, is extremely sharp.

But limited by reasons such as materials and Forging Skill, it is merely ordinary Spirit Tool Grade.

Now, no matter how Xu Zhangqing "self-harms," he cannot cause even a shred of damage.

Even the Recovery Speed is too fast; a scratch appearing the previous second disappears the next second.

After a round of attempts yielded no result, he also gave up the idea of continuing.

A lone person playing with a kitchen knife in the kitchen in the middle of the night, it always feels a bit weird.

After that, Xu Zhangqing walked out of the Kitchen and Wooden House in a pleasant mood, returning once more to the Spirit Field Ridge of the Ling Field Second Mu to continue watching over the Mingyue Grass.

These Mingyue Grass, within the Range Internal of the Green Lotus Domain, grow at an extremely fast speed.

In just seven short days, they have already grown to a Height of about three inches.

Barring Surprise, it should be about the same as last time, maturing in around half a month.

Watching and watching, Xu Zhangqing suddenly had a stirring in his heart, Thinking Of that strange Seed inside the Stomach Bag of Earth Rolling Dragon he had bought at the Loose Cultivator market before.

He used his Consciousness to communicate with the Lightly Vitality Gourd, and the Seed Immediately appeared in his palm.

Similar to a melon seed, one end pointed, one end round.

The Seed is the length of an adult's thumb.

Overall yellowish-brown, retaining a trace of Earth Spirit Qi.

Because the shell was corroded by the Rolling Earth Dragon's stomach acid, the Surface is covered in Sword Marks.

Xu Zhangqing's Gaze swept across, finding a spot near the Water Channel, and then directly buried this strange seed, like a melon seed, into the Black Soil beside it.

When the Green Lotus Domain is Cast, there is inherently dense Wood Spirit Power inside.

Therefore, there is Not Needed to deliberately inject it into the Seed.

Time passed bit by bit, the Moon shifting from the east toward the west.

The time to Cultivate this Seed was longer than imagined.

The previous few seeds, Not Long After, grew and sprouted.

But this one alone, As if dead, had not the slightest movement.

Xu Zhangqing Zhou Mei: "Could it have requirements for the growth environment?"

Because it Contains a trace of Earth Spirit Qi, he thought it similar to the previous 【Earth Guide Grass】.

Looking at it now, it's probably not that simple; it might be some especially rare Lingti.

Facing this situation, there is currently no other way, only to wait Patiently.

Therefore, seeing the Wood Spirit Power in his Qi Sea exhausted, Xu Zhangqing walked toward the Wooden House without the slightest hesitation.

From now on, let this Seed "fend for itself."

If there is still no movement in three days' time, he can only find another way to Cultivate it.

Since it has Earth Spirit Qi, perhaps it is related to Earth Spirit Root, Spiritual Vein, and the like.

……

……

This sleep, Xu Zhangqing slept until the morning Si hour, roughly Ten O'clock.

Wangwang and the Pearl Chicken, because they were used to the Master's recent Way of life, this time did not watch with bated breath; the two little ones have already learned to find food themselves in the Spirit Field, wilderness, and grass bushes.

Xu Zhangqing stretched lazily while walking out the Door: "This sleep was truly comfortable."

Subconsciously glancing at the Second Mu Grade-2 Spirit Field on the left.

The Mingyue Grass has already rested.

Daytime is the Golden Crow Vine's home turf.

However, just inadvertently, he Discovered that the Black Soil at the spot where the strange seed was planted last night had actually Become sticky.

Although it is near the Water Channel, only that one spot is in this condition.

Seeing This, Xu Zhangqing hurriedly stepped forward to inspect!!!
