Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
【Consume 4567 days of lifespan to upgrade Wood Spirit Binding Technique from Second Layer to Third Layer?】
"Yes."
In an instant, vast experience and techniques emerged.
Xu Zhangqing seemed to have personally cultivated for many years, quickly absorbing them.
【Successfully consumed 4567 days of lifespan to upgrade Wood Spirit Binding Technique to Third Layer】
【Remaining Lifespan: days】
【Wood Spirit Binding Technique (Third Layer)】
(Effect One: Evolves into Hundred-Year Black Iron Vine)
(Effect Two: Single vine, one hundred jin piercing force)
(Effect Three: Wood Spirit Seal can store seeds)
(Effect Four: Can switch between three forms: Green Vine, Poison Thorn Grass, Black Iron Vine)
(Effect Five: After switching, restores original power, attributes, and other effects)
"Only three layers?" Xu Zhangqing said in surprise.
Even the low-tier 【Chang Qing Jue】 has five layers.
Yet 【Wood Spirit Binding Technique】 has only three.
But upon reflection, this is after all a high-tier spell of the Qi Refining Stage.
Moreover, the time it requires is longer than that of low-tier spells.
Xu Zhangqing quickly came outside the Wooden House and found the Yang Shu he had tested before.
He spread his right hand, and the 【Wood】 Spirit Seal emerged in his palm.
Then he discovered that it had actually changed from an illusory shadow into something real.
At this moment, it was like a green tattoo inlaid in his palm.
Xu Zhangqing infused a wisp of Spiritual Power from within his body, instantly forming a domain with a perception range of ten zhang.
The weeds within the range instantly became active, beginning to sway constantly.
It looked as if a pack of "little dogs" wagging their tails and desperately trying to please their Master.
Xu Zhangqing's heart stirred, and a nearby weed "swish"ed, unexpectedly turning black, its surface like metal Black Iron Vine.
Next, this Black Iron Vine, one meter long, immediately thrust toward the Yang Tree covered in sword marks ahead.
With a puff sound.
Instantly piercing through the entire trunk.
Without the slightest obstruction, as smooth as a kitchen knife cutting tofu.
"Hiss!" Xu Zhangqing drew in a sharp breath.
The power of this strike was somewhat terrifying.
He felt that an opponent of the same realm could not endure it at all.
What's more, he did not control just one vine.
Although after 【Wood Spirit Binding Technique】 reached the Third Layer, a wisp of Spiritual Power could only spawn five Black Iron Vines.
The number was halved, but it was still formidable.
Then Xu Zhangqing tried several more times, discovering that this Black Iron Vine, hard as metal.
Not only tree trunks.
Even harder stones, as long as they were not too thick, could be pierced just the same.
When five vines surged forward together, they directly poked it into dregs.
After testing the power of the Black Iron Vine, he then tried switching forms.
Soon, the hard Black Iron Vine underwent a change.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, it transformed into Poison Thorn Grass covered in spikes.
Then it changed back into its original form, the soft yet tough Green Vine.
However, Xu Zhangqing discovered that each switch consumed some Spiritual Power.
Switching from Third Layer to Second Layer and First Layer consumed not much.
But switching from First Layer to Second Layer and then Third Layer almost cost a wisp of Spiritual Power.
Next, Xu Zhangqing turned his gaze to 【Spirit Rice Wine】.
【Spirit Rice Wine (Mastery) ↑】
(Effect One: Increases Spiritual Qi Absorption Speed by 15% within one hour)
(Effect Two: Spiritual Power loss -10% when Wood-element spells are cast)
(Effect Three: Increases low-tier spell comprehension speed by 10% in a slightly drunk state)
(Negative Effect One: Long-term drinking will reduce Reaction Speed)
【Consume 2378 days of lifespan to upgrade Spirit Rice Wine Mastery to Expert?】
"Yes."
For a time, deeper experience and techniques regarding Spirit Rice Wine emerged.
Xu Zhangqing seemed like an expert who had been brewing wine for many years, understanding it exceptionally well.
【Successfully consumed 2378 days of lifespan to raise Spirit Rice Wine to Expert】
【Remaining Lifespan: days】
【Spirit Rice Wine (Expert) ↑】
(Effect One: Increases Spiritual Qi Absorption Speed by 20% within one hour)
(Effect Two: Spiritual Power loss -15% when operating Wood-element Arts)
(Effect Three: Increases Low Rank Art comprehension speed by 15% in a tipsy state)
(Effect Four: Increases High Rank Art comprehension speed by 5% in a tipsy state)
(Negative Effect One: Long-term drinking will continuously decrease Reaction Speed)
(Negative Effect Two: Long-term drinking will cause damage to Internal Organs)
"Apart from me, probably no one can bring Spirit Rice Wine to this quality," Xu Zhangqing smiled.
He glanced at the Attribute Panel again.
【Consume 5033 days of lifespan to raise Spirit Rice Wine to Master?】
After thinking it over, he finally shook his head.
Currently reaching "Expert level" is enough.
Spirit Rice Wine is just one of the most common Spirit Wines in the Cultivation World.
Even if it can increase the comprehension speed of High Rank Arts.
But Xu Zhangqing does not have a second High Rank Art in his hands.
More critically, since Spirit Rice Wine has such effects.
Then one can look for higher quality, rarer Spirit Wine recipes.
By then, selling the Spirit Rice Wine outside and drinking better ones himself—isn't that nice?
"That said, Lin An's appearance this time actually gave me an idea. When I have nothing to do, I can go help others harvest; not only is there remuneration, but lifespan can also be increased." Xu Zhangqing's mouth corner twitched.
Time passed day by day.
The temperature dropped lower and lower, and the weather grew colder and colder.
In a flash, it became the third month since becoming a Formal Disciple.
During this period, Xu Zhangqing brewed some Spirit Rice Wine with the remaining First Grade Spirit Rice.
Not much, only ten jin.
First, to try it himself.
Second, planning to exchange for some spirit stones at the Market.
There were less than five days left until the New Year.
This also meant that he could soon participate in the Hongfeng Valley Market.
Standing on Spirit Field Ridge, looking at the somewhat frozen spirit rice, Xu Zhangqing sensed it.
【Mature】
【Spirit Qi Sufficient】
【No Loss】
【Second Grade Spirit Rice】
【Top-grade Today】
【Yield 2100 jin】
"It can be harvested." Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened, and he decisively picked up the sickle.
【Harvested 1 stalk of "Extreme-grade Spirit Rice", lifespan +6 days】
【Harvested 1 stalk of "Extreme-grade Spirit Rice", lifespan +6 days】
【Harvested 1 stalk of "Extreme-grade Spirit Rice", lifespan +6 days】

From daytime, Xu Zhangqing worked until night.
Looking at the spirit rice piled full in front of him, he was very happy.
And, the experiment using Spiritual Beast Feces as fertilizer already had results.
Compared to the place without fertilizer.
The same amount of spirit rice.
The same range.
It indeed increased.
This is why the previous estimate was over two thousand jin.
When truly harvesting, it actually had two thousand one hundred jin.
Others planting in winter, not reducing yield is already not bad.
He was planting in winter for the first time, and the yield not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
After putting all the spirit rice into the Small Storage Bag, Xu Zhangqing looked at the Attribute Panel again.
【Xu Zhangqing】
【Male】
【18 years old】
【Wood Spirit Root】
【Qi Refining Middle Stage】
【Changqing Technique (Five Layers)】
【Spirit Rice Wine (Expert)↑】
【Wood Spirit Entanglement Technique (Third Layer)】
【Remaining Lifespan: Days】
This harvest added another 6872 days of lifespan, which together makes exactly one hundred years!!!
