Chapter 501: Chapter 493 Housekeeper Xu

After his practice of the Medicine King Sutra reached the Spirit Qi Realm, Qin Niu had gained the ability to directly refine the energy and medicinal essence of plants into cultivation power. After advancing to the mid-stage of the Spirit Qi Realm, he acquired a new skill— the ability to directly absorb the stored energy of plants within a hundred-meter radius, quickly replenishing his depleted True Qi.

Don’t underestimate the limited energy storage of an ordinary plant; the combined energy stored by plants within a hundred meters can be quite astonishing.

Moreover, he could keep moving and absorbing the energy storage from new plants.

With this ability, as long as he was in the forest, he hardly had to worry about running out of internal cultivation power.

This was somewhat like being the King of the Earth; as long as one’s feet stood on the ground, one could continuously draw strength from the earth.

Initially, he practiced the Medicine King Sutra simply to better identify medicinal herbs and plants; he had never imagined that cultivating this technique to the mid-stage of the Spirit Qi Realm would grant him such an incredible ability.

Besides the Medicine King Sutra, the special abilities that came with his Everlasting Spring Technique also saw a significant boost after advancing to the early stage of the Spirit Qi Realm.

Injecting the same amount of Everlasting Spring Technique power into medicinal herbs, their growth rate was visibly faster.

Another, even more intriguing matter caught Qin Niu’s deep thought.

In the backyard, there was a clump of Dogtail Grass that he had infused with some Everlasting Spring Technique power five days ago.

As a result, when he sat down last night in the backyard to practice the Everlasting Spring Technique, he discovered this morning that the Dogtail Grass’s leaves were now facing him.

It is natural for plants to lean towards the sun; this is not unusual.

The most typical example is the sunflower, which turns with the sun after blooming. Other plants’ leaves also grow towards the sunnier side.

But why did that clump of Dogtail Grass face Qin Niu?

Could it be that it saw Qin Niu as the sun?

Now, there were a total of over two hundred medicinal herbs planted in the backyard; Qin Niu only noticed the Dogtail Grass leaning towards him, while the other herbs seemed not to have this pattern. He was certain that the Dogtail Grass had never done this before.

Five days ago, just as his Everlasting Spring Technique advanced to the Spirit Qi Realm, he came back home and, feeling grateful to the clump of Dogtail Grass that had helped him understand the cultivation method of the Everlasting Spring Technique, gave it exceptional care by infusing it with the Everlasting Spring Technique power until it reached its limit.

Could it be that by infusing it with enough Everlasting Spring Technique power, he caused it to mutate?

To verify his hypothesis, Qin Niu chose another two medicinal herbs and infused them with the Everlasting Spring Technique power to their limit.

These herbs were basically low-growing, so even if he filled their stems with Everlasting Spring Technique power, it wouldn’t take much.

After doing all of this, Qin Niu prepared to observe their changes in a few days.

The Water and Land Dharma Assembly was drawing nearer by the day, with less than a month left; Qin Niu had already started preparing to attend. He needed to set out for it no later than ten days from now.

Some of the stronger members of the Black Tiger Gang had already set off for Elixir City.

However, Qin Niu learned that the true Water and Land Dharma Assembly would be held in Myriad Immortal City, a city directly governed by the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.

Elixir City might just be the preliminary meeting place.

The Black Tiger Gang and the Nine Insect Gang had not waged any wars since signing the ceasefire agreement, but both sides still stationed heavy forces on their borders, maintaining a tense atmosphere.

The Water and Land Dharma Assembly, which occurs only once every ten years, represents an opportunity for all Spirit Qi Realm experts to strive for their immortal fate.
