After consuming the blood, the two termites started circling around as if bewitched on the spot.

Then, after a while, their heads began to swell, while their abdomens only bulged slightly.

This scene filled Qin Niu with amazement.

He was even more excited about the changes the ‘Thousand Eyes Tree’ blood could bring to the termites.

Once their heads had swelled to nearly twice their original size, they slowly stabilized.

After observing for a while and noticing that neither had exploded or died, Qin Niu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had Fourth drag them back into the nest.

He would come back to check on them tomorrow.

Having observed for a moment, he returned home, laden with the collected Ancient Banyan Tree Blood.

By the time he got back, it was already getting dark.

With an ample supply of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, he no longer had to use it sparingly.

An idea struck him, what would happen if he soaked the Treasured Sword directly in the Banyan Tree Blood?

After all, applying a layer to it every day was a considerable time waste.

And it would absorb it very quickly.

It felt as though it had not had its ‘fill.’

If he could just submerge it in the Banyan Tree Blood, letting it absorb the energy within at its leisure, it would certainly speed up the nurturing process.

With this idea in mind, Qin Niu began preparing for it.

Conveniently, there was a stone trough in the backyard for feeding livestock.

He grabbed a hoe and dug a shallow pit in a corner of the backyard, sizing it to the stone trough and placing it inside.

Then, he found some discarded wooden planks and fashioned a lid for it.

Once that was done, a crude and concealed ‘Soldier Nurturing Pond’ was built.

He poured in the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood collected for the day.

He deliberately reserved a small jar for feeding the termites.

Perhaps because the stone trough was somewhat large, even after pouring all five jars of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood into it, it only filled the trough with a thin layer.

He tested it, and it just covered the blade of the sword.

A small part of the hilt remained exposed.

After placing it in, fine bubbles could be seen rising.

The Treasured Sword seemed to be particularly excited.

After observing for a while and seeing no issues, he covered it with the lid, took a bath, and then sat down to cultivate beside the well in the backyard.

As the energy of the moonlight was continuously absorbed into his body, transforming into the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique, his cultivation began to climb once again.

However, it was much slower than when he cultivated under the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Around four in the morning, he felt the cool energy inside his body become quite abundant, almost permeating his limbs and bones. At this point, if his body were a container, it was nearly filled with the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique.

But as his cultivation continued, new power still squeezed into his body.

When the power inside became too crowded, some of it was absorbed by his lungs with his breath.

As his alveoli contracted, they exhaled the body’s waste gas.

The crowded cool energy surged into his lungs. When inhaling, the alveoli expanded, and the cool energy pressed inside squeezed forcefully into the lungs. Thus, as he continued to breathe, the concentration of the Everlasting Spring Technique’s power in his lungs gradually far exceeded that in other parts of his body.

His breathing became increasingly difficult.

It was a very stifling feeling.

When this feeling of suffocation reached its limit, the cool energy inside his lungs also reached its threshold.

Boom!

When he forcibly inhaled once more, his chest shuddered slightly.

It wasn’t very strong.

However, he felt as if after the potential of his lungs had been squeezed to the limit, they underwent an unimown transformation.

Their capacity expanded by more than tenfold in an instant.

A vast amount of the Everlasting Spring Technique’s power was greedily absorbed by them.

They were becoming increasingly powerful.

The stifling sensation disappeared without a trace, replaced by an intense feeling of refreshment. As he inhaled, it was like a whale swallowing the sea; as he exhaled, the energy flowed long and steady..
