He had wanted to try this method for a long time.

However, he previously lacked the necessary cultivation levels, unable to mobilize and externalize the energy within his body.

Now that he had reached the Innate Realm, he barely possessed this ability.

He had tested it when he was helping the Golden Toad with its injuries, and it worked quite well.

He extended his hand to grasp the root stem of the Dogtail Grass.

Then he mobilized a faint trace of the Everlasting Spring Technique’s energy and released it, controlling it to penetrate into the Dogtail Grass.

After it was absorbed, the stems and leaves slowly filled out, rapidly regaining vitality.

This method was indeed feasible.

Qin Niu repeated the process with the other herbs, treating each one in turn.

In about half an hour, all of them had regained their vitality.

“Now that I have the cultivation of the Innate Realm, I should be able to explore deeper into the mountains. I can gather some more medicinal herbs to plant.”

Having tasted the sweetness of the Boundary-breaking Elixir, he was completely captivated by the supreme allure of elixirs.

The best main ingredients for refining high-grade elixirs are not beast cores,

but Spiritual Medicines.

It has always been so since ancient times.

The essence of plants and trees is the best material for alchemy.

Beast cores are instead considered unorthodox. Acquiring beast cores not only requires taking a life but also, beasts and humans are fundamentally different beings. Their cultivation methods also differ.

Using beast cores for alchemy goes against natural principles and involves numerous risks.

This is why the major families only regard cultivated medicinal herbs as the core resources of the family, and never as one hears a family raising a mystical beast as their core asset.

At most, they would raise a mystical beast to guard the house and protect the family’s forbidden grounds.

After restoring vitality to these herbs, Qin Niu then hurried to the Yan Family’s farmland.

Upon arriving at the first line of defense, swarms of locusts were advancing under the cover of darkness. Ordinary locusts passing this line of defense would not be attacked.

Only when special locusts went through would they be intercepted by Qin Niu’s Termite soldiers and then mercilessly killed.

He checked the Termite’s results.

Thirteen special locusts were hunted.

Compared to the peak times when hundreds could be hunted in a day, this was a significant drop.

Qin Niu had specifically brought a group of Grade Three Termites this time to test their combat strength.

It turned out that not to mention the extra-large locusts, even the special locusts were hard to come by.

This left him somewhat frustrated.

He was contemplating discussing with the Yan Family the next morning about having the Yan Family find another Insect Master to guard this defensive line.

Having helped guard the Yan Family for so many days, he felt he had done enough and had repaid his debt of gratitude.

He had specifically brought a book to read today.

It was about time he brushed up on the fundamental knowledge of cultivation.

Entering the thatched hut, he lit the oil lamp and read through the night.

The night passed peacefully.

The next morning, Yan Qi arrived.

“Master Qin, was everything peaceful last night?”

“Nothing happened. Looking at the situation, the locust plague seems to be subsiding. Pass a message to Young Master of the Yan Family for me, starting today, I am officially withdrawing from this defensive line.”

Qin Niu’s relationship with the Yan Family was merely one of cooperation.

He would work if he wanted to.
