The house was in the midst of a torrential downpour, and he actually sensed a trace of cool energy within the rainwater.

It poured down with the rain onto the earth.

The plants joyfully bathed in the rain, their roots, stems, and leaves all eagerly absorbing the moisture from the rainwater and then robustly growing.

Qin Niu likewise learned to absorb the cool energy from the rainwater like the plants.

Due to the recently comprehended method of cultivation, his attempts appeared extremely clumsy. He could clearly sense the fleeting, faint cool energy as it fell with the rain onto the roof, but he just couldn’t guide it into his body.

It was like being able to ‘see’ but not grasp.

After many fruitless attempts, he made a bold decision based on his experience of absorbing moonlight energy.

He actually stripped off his clothes and, wearing only his underpants, went into the backyard.

He sat beside the well, letting the downpour drench him.

The rainwater washed over his body to the ground, then gathered into streams that flowed along the grooves in the earth.

Qin Niu closed his eyes, ignoring everything around him, casting aside all distractions and stray thoughts, and focused on guiding that hint of cool energy from the rainwater into his body.

Persistent efforts pay off.

This method might have been a bit ‘simple-minded,’ but it worked.

He successfully guided the first strand of cool energy from the rainwater into his body.

It entered through the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, then flowed straight down, traveling along his meridians and converging with the Everlasting Spring Technique’s power within him.

He found that the cool energy contained in the rainwater seemed to inherently possess a purifying effect.

It could cleanse the soul and the impurities of the body.

The beginning is always the hardest.

After successfully absorbing the first strand of rainwater energy, his cultivation efficiency started to increase rapidly.

The Dogtail Grass beside him also joyously swayed its blades.

The purple vein in the center of its leaves became clearer, and it began to spread to the adjoining leaf veins, causing them to take on a faint purple hue as well.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when Qin Niu noticed the rain pouring from the sky had greatly reduced in size, and the cool energy he could absorb was also diminishing quickly.

He opened his eyes and wiped the rain off his face.

Looking up at the sky.

It was already quite dark.

He didn’t know when the torrential rain had stopped.

There were still a few scattered raindrops falling to earth.

He stood up and stretched his legs and feet.

Then he went inside the house, dried off, and changed into clean clothes.

He checked his personal attributes.

His cultivation had increased by 7.1 points.

His Everlasting Spring Technique was now at the second level, and his cultivation speed was twice as fast as before. Cultivating outside for an hour would increase his cultivation by about 1 point.

Based on the total increase in cultivation, he must have cultivated for a little over seven hours.

It was the longest time he had cultivated for at one stretch.

“Now, I’ve found three ways to cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique: moonlight bathing, cultivating in the rain, and cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree.”

This also gave him greater adaptability.

“Gurgle, gurgle!”

His stomach sent out signals of hunger.

He ate a full five pounds of bear meat in one go before finally feeling full.

His appetite had grown since before.

Looking at the scarce remains of the bear meat, he planned to go up into the mountains tomorrow after the rain stopped, to try his luck at hunting.

He hoped to catch some game to bring back.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, Qin Niu saw that the rain that had been pouring for six days had finally stopped, and he couldn’t wait to pack his basket and large jar ready to head into the mountains.

The blood of the Banyan Tree in the stone trough that was used for nurturing the Treasured Sword had almost turned to clear water.

If he didn’t get more Banyan Tree blood soon, the Treasured Sword would likely ‘fall sick’ again.

After finally nurturing a wisp of Blade Qi, Qin Niu cherished it deeply, now revering it like an ‘ancestor’.
