Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: Chapter 488: Striking the Spirit Qi Realm_1 (2/2)

Merchants feared war and dared not do business in Black Tiger City.

Farmers also had no interest in renting the landlord’s fields. In the event of war, most of the crops would likely be lost. Then, not only would they have worked in vain for a year, but they would also have to compensate the landlord for the lost rent.

In addition, the land tax was not low.

War greatly impacted everyone, and nobody wished for it to happen.

…

With the blink of an eye, six days had passed, and Qin Niu visited the Ancient Banyan Tree every day to cultivate. He was now focusing on the Medicine King Sutra, hoping to break through to the Spirit Qi Realm as soon as possible.

However, when he felt tired from practicing the Medicine King Sutra, he would also cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique to recover his spiritual power, unwilling to waste a single moment.

On the other hand, his wives and Xiao Qing did not have this ability.

After cultivating for about three to six hours, they had to stop and rest for a while. As a result, they spent nearly half as much time cultivating as Qin Niu did.

If one does not pursue combat power, the Everlasting Spring Technique is quite good.

This Life-Nurturing Technique can replace sleep, quickly helping cultivators recover their physical strength and spiritual power. In addition, the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique can also help plants to quickly take root and grow.

These are all very practical benefits.

As Qin Niu diligently cultivated every day, the power of his Medicine King Sutra had reached the pinnacle of the Innate Realm and he felt it difficult to make further progress.

Early this morning he began to cultivate and realized that the power of the Medicine King Sutra had only increased by a little.

It seemed that he had to break through to the next realm to continue progressing.

Otherwise, the power of his Medicine King Sutra would stagnate.

He looked up at the canopy of the Ancient Banyan Tree, guessing that it was still early.

“I don’t have any elixirs for advancing to the Spirit Qi Realm at hand, but the spiritual power within the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze is more than twenty times denser than outside. Moreover, there is an inexhaustible supply of medicinal energy. Perhaps I could take a chance and try,”

Qin Niu calculated quietly in his mind.

Glancing at his wives and Xiao Qing who were concentrating on their cultivation, Qin Niu subconsciously moved a bit further away from them.

Because when attempting to make a major breakthrough, the wild energy that becomes uncontrollable can easily harm those around.

Once ready, Qin Niu no longer hesitated and operated the Medicine King Sutra with all his might, attempting to break through.

At first, it was not smooth sailing.

Since he had no master to guide him, he could only explore on his own. After trying various methods and still seeing no progress in his cultivation level, he felt stuck.

At this crucial moment, Qin Niu suddenly felt an extremely strong, cool energy descending from above, enveloping him completely.

Fortuitously, he immediately summoned the alchemy stove within his body.

As the alchemy stove spun continuously, the potent cool energy was greedily absorbed by it.

Inside, the Fire Lotus and Ice Lotus also reacted, drawing energy through the alchemy stove before releasing it either as fiery essence or cold air.

The fiery essence and cold air were repeatedly refined within the alchemy stove, becoming purer and purer.

The alchemy stove, formed by condensed cultivation power, was becoming more solid bit by bit, and its spinning speed was increasing.

Qin Niu faintly sensed that this must be the correct way to break through the realm.

The cool energy descending from above was unceasing – it had to be the doing of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

It was actually actively helping Qin Niu to break through the realm, which was quite incredible.
