Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 12: Initial Medium-Grade Spiritual Seed, Qin Xiuye ​​is Amazed

"Accumulating mana is not easy, and neither is a bountiful harvest nor the end of winter."

"If I don't fully comprehend the 'result', 80% of my mana will be wasted in the purification process at this step. This is absolutely unacceptable. Winter's annihilation is even more dangerous. If I go wrong at this step, I won't be nurturing new life in the midst of death, but will truly perish with my mana and body."

All I can say is that the Four Seasons and Time Rotation Sutra is a very powerful technique, but the level of comprehension required is indeed extremely high, and there cannot be even the slightest mistake.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang also has a way to solve the subsequent difficulties.

“You can practice!”

After confirming it, Zhong Cang immediately began the practice of nurturing the Seed of Spring.

"Buzz!"

At the beginning of the practice, Zhong Cang entered a meditative state to clear his mind.

And the first stage of practicing the Seed of Spring... is actually quite difficult.

After all, meditating on a sapling in your mind, and not only visualizing the sapling vividly, but also making it lively and energetic, as if it were really alive, is no less than asking a naughty child to paint a vivid masterpiece.

Such difficulty will naturally stop countless people.

At this time, the old Taoist Qin Xiuye ​​on the high platform was paying attention to Zhong Cang, and he was not optimistic about Zhong Cang's progress:

"In the meditation practice of nurturing spiritual seeds, simple things are easier than complex ones, and inanimate objects are far easier than living ones. Therefore, most people practice with swords, bells, seals, or other weapons, as they are easy to meditate out and do not require modification."

"Living things are different. They need to have a living, unique meaning. Among them, Zhong Cang's choice is the most difficult. Saplings are complex to begin with. Not only are they living things, they also need to grow, flourish, bloom, bear fruit, wither and die... so many changes, and all kinds of meanings are different. This is not only more difficult than weapons like swords and bells, but also countless times more difficult than tigers, leopards, and dragons that are simply powerful and do not need to change... Zhong Cang, the fourth-level Tianshi Lunzhuan Sutra is good, but by choosing it, you have also chosen the most difficult path!"

With a sigh, the old Taoist Qin Xiuye ​​shook his head and prepared to look away.

In his opinion, it would be difficult for Zhong Cang to visualize the sapling in a short period of time.

Even if it is visualized, Zhong Cang's sapling is just a dead object at the beginning. It has no sense of life and cannot give people the meaning of growth.

Without these, the quality of Zhong Cang's spirit seed would be extremely poor.

Of course, this is not without complementary methods. Better paints and tools can produce better paintings.

With each rotation, Zhong Cang's spirit, magic power, and body will break through the boundaries, become pure, and extremely vital.

Meditating with this active magical spirit, the spring saplings that Zhong Cang visualized would naturally have a hint of vitality.

"three times."

In Qin Xiuye's opinion, Zhong Cang must go through at least three cycles before his spirit seed can give people the meaning of life.

Doing so would naturally waste a lot of time, but: "I have already warned you that this technique is difficult to practice without a peerless genius... Hmm!?"

Qin Xiuye ​​was sighing with regret, but at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly widened and his expression became shocked.

He felt a sense of natural harmony and infinite vitality from Zhong Cang.

Well... that's nothing, but:
"How is it possible that the first soul seed conceived gives people the feeling of being alive?"

The old Taoist Qin Xiuye ​​was amazed, while Zhong Cang was amazed at the compatibility between the druid profession and the immortal cultivation.

Zhong Cang alone naturally could not visualize a living sapling at the beginning, but he was not the only one working on it.

As a guardian of nature, Zhong Cang has a strong affinity with trees and possesses a plant language that allows him to communicate with them. At the same time, Zhong Cang's meditation does not allow him to fall into a state of no thoughts or ideas, but rather allows him to perceive his surroundings during meditation.

At this moment, Zhong Cang, who was meditating, could perceive the emotions of the surrounding plants and even communicate with them spiritually.

Zhong Cang was now sitting cross-legged under a ginkgo tree, with his back even leaning against the tree.

This close contact, combined with the language of plants and natural affinity, allowed Zhong Cang to communicate with the ginkgo tree without hindrance while meditating.

And because of the pure spirituality of the ginkgo tree, its communication is unreserved.

All these situations combined together meant that when Zhong Cang was meditating and trying to visualize the shape of a sapling, the ginkgo tree, which was communicating with Zhong Cang's soul, directly transmitted all its experiences to Zhong Cang.

"You...want to visualize a living... vibrant sapling? ...I was like that when I was a child..."

If the meditation sapling is compared to painting, the message transmitted by the ginkgo tree is not as simple as being a model and providing Zhong Cang with a reference.

It directly transmitted the ready-made mold answer into Zhong Cang's mind, and because the ginkgo tree is spiritual, this answer is more perfect than the correct answer.

In this case, the spirit seed condensed by Zhong Cang, even if it has just been born, is of extremely high quality.

However, Zhong Cang did not have much knowledge of Taoism, so he did not notice this. At this moment, he was just happy that the Seed of Spring had been successfully condensed.

"It worked. As expected, condensing the Spring Seed is the easiest. The next step is to absorb spiritual energy while letting the sapling grow."

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang moved his mind, and the green spiritual energy floating in Yun Mo's heart lake quickly rushed towards Zhong Cang's body.

The green spiritual energy that entered Zhong Cang's body would eventually merge into the vibrant sapling. As this spiritual energy helped the sapling grow, Zhong Cang also felt the first traces of magic power being born within him. His body and soul also became stronger due to the sapling's vigorous growth.

"My practice is on the right track."

Zhong Cang here was sighing and practicing step by step.

On the other side, the old Taoist Qin Xiuye ​​was extremely stunned. After being stunned, he released a detection spell - the spirit-viewing spell - towards Zhong Cang.

This is a spell to observe the quality of spirit seeds. Curious, he couldn't help but want to see what level the quality of the spirit seeds that Zhong Cang condensed for the first time had reached.

"Buzz!"

As the spell was released on Zhong Cang, a ray of green light mixed with a slight purple tint rose from Zhong Cang's body and was observed by the old Taoist Qin Xiuye.

Such a mysterious light also made the old Taoist Qin Xiuye ​​confirm one thing with a sharp pain in his teeth:
"It's truly a mid-grade spirit seed... Gray is inferior, white and green are ordinary, blue and green are mid-grade, purple is high-grade, gold is top-grade, and scarlet is the legendary super-grade, divine grade."

"The mysterious light on Zhong Cang's body not only glows green, but also has a slight purple hue. This shows that his spirit seed has reached the highest quality. It is very likely that he can improve the quality of his spirit seed with the rotation of four seasons... and with the highest quality, there is an 80% chance that he can forge an earth-level foundation."

Thinking of this, Qin Xiuye ​​couldn't help but take a breath and prepared to train Zhong Cang well.

It’s no wonder that he had such thoughts. It’s really that the talent that Zhong Cang showed now was a bit exaggerated.

Top-grade spiritual seeds and earth-level Taoist foundations are what 80% of the people in the Taoist academy dream of, but since the old Taoist has been teaching for many years and has seen many geniuses, this is actually nothing.

What amazed Qin Xiuye ​​was that Zhong Cang had already achieved such performance before he even started the cycle of the four seasons and the purification of the spiritual seeds.

When he started to actually purify it, Qin Xiuye ​​couldn't imagine to what level Zhong Cang would improve the quality of the spirit seed.

"Top grade, perfect, or... top grade?"
