Chapter 120 - Chapter 120: Chapter 115 Medicine Qi_i (2/2)

This was the power gained from cultivating the Medicine King Sutra.

Compared to the cool energy gained from cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique, its nature was entirely different.

The powers cultivated from the two techniques were clearly delineated, stored separately within his body.

However, the Everlasting Spring Technique had already reached the Fivefold realm of mortals, its power much more profound. Its volume was at least a thousand times that of the Medicine King Sutra’s power.

The Medicine King Sutra really isn’t easy to cultivate.

He also discovered another issue, cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique could replace sleep, allowing both spiritual power and the body to recover. It had a very good effect on nurturing one’s life.

But the Medicine King Sutra did not.

Cultivating the Medicine King Sutra for six hours was already his limit.

This was because after cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique, his spiritual power had increased somewhat, far exceeding that of an ordinary mortal at the Fivefold realm. Otherwise, he could only cultivate for four hours at most before needing to stop and rest to recover his spiritual power.

Perhaps because his Medicine King Sutra power was still weak, now he could only sense the medicinal qi emitted by the herbs when he focused and closed his eyes.

He wasn’t able to sense the medicinal properties of the herbs, let alone the strength of the energy contained within them.

If more medicinal qi was emitted, it indicated that the herbs contained more energy, he could infer that much at least.

Whether this was indeed the case still needed to be verified.

His gaze shifted to the medicinal herbs in front of him.

They looked wilted, as if they had been tortured by frost.

This indicated that cultivating the Medicine King Sutra and absorbing their medicinal qi caused them certain harm.

“Can the Everlasting Spring Technique quickly restore them to vitality then?”

He prepared to conduct another experiment.

After taking a brief rest to adjust his state, he began to sit beside these herbs and cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique.

True to its reputation as a top Life-Nurturing Technique.

As he continued to cultivate, his depleted spiritual power was recovering quickly.

The effect was even better than that of deep sleep.

He continued to cultivate until the moon set, and only then did he stop.

He had cultivated for roughly six hours.

Some power from the Everlasting Spring Technique was gained, but compared to cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree, it was far less.

Fortunately, his main goal was not to improve his cultivation level.

It was to help these medicinal herbs regain their vitality.

Cultivating in his own backyard, the speed of his cultivation level’s increase was slower, but the experience value for the Everlasting Spring Technique grew quite significantly.

Currently, the Everlasting Spring Technique is still at the ‘Twofold realm.

If he could break through to the Threefold realm, the speed of cultivation would surely improve a lot.

He opened his eyes and checked the condition of the herbs around him.

The Dogtail Grass, which he had drained the most, was fully revitalized, bursting with life once again. The other herbs were even less of a concern. “Master! Did you sit here and cultivate all night yesterday?”

Xiao Qing was already up.

She didn’t have the habit of oversleeping; instead, she was particularly hard-working.

“Yes!”

Qin Niu looked towards her.

“Thank you for using your energy to help me cultivate yesterday.”

“As your servant, isn’t it my duty to help you?”

She wasn’t concerned at all about this.

Her gaze swept over the medicinal herbs surrounding Qin Niu, and a faint trace of disappointment appeared on her face, hardly noticeable.

“Master, was the effect of your cultivation yesterday very poor?”

“That, I’m not clear on. It’s true that a significant amount of the medicinal qi was lost. When you cultivate, do you experience this phenomenon?”

Qin Niu retorted with a question.

“I’m now at the peak of the Twofold realm of mortals, and my Medicine King Sutra is roughly at the second level. Half of the medicinal qi disperses when 1 cultivate. My grandfather’s Medicine King Sutra is close to the third level, and it’s more potent. Fie once told me that he can absorb roughly six-tenths of the full medicinal qi.”

Xiao Qing shared her cultivation experience.

These were core secrets, not to be casually revealed to outsiders.

As master and servant, there wasn’t this concern.

“I see! Then both of you are much stronger than me. Out of the full medicinal qi, I can only absorb about two-tenths.”

Qin Niu nodded in understanding.

“Eh, how come the medicinal qi of these herbs is just as abundant as last night? It even seems to have increased. That shouldn’t be the case! Do you have Medicine King level power within you now?”

Xiao Qing seriously doubted whether her master had just sat there doing nothing all night.

“Yes, there is, just not much. About a small clump the size of a soybean.”

Qin Niu replied.

“Ah… that’s quite a lot! Then you must have been very diligent in your cultivation last night. When I first started learning, it took me over a month to accumulate a clump the size of a mung bean. And that was with the help of my grandfather using his power. He even praised me back then for progressing quickly. Compared to you, I’m extremely weak.”

After hearing this, she was even more astonished.

“Cultivating the Medicine King Sutra and absorbing the medicinal qi from these living herbs can lead to their withering or even death. They would need at least one or two months of careful cultivation to recover. But now, they seem completely fine? This is so strange.”

Xiao Qing was utterly perplexed.

“No wonder you knew that cultivating the Medicine King Sutra required absorbing medicinal qi, yet you never cultivated near the medicinal herbs in the backyard, fearing that your absorption would cause them to wither!”

Qin Niu suddenly understood..
