Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Chapter 36 is Danger as well as Treasure r (2/2)

He soon sensed trickles of cool energy entering his body, although it was much slower compared to cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Cultivating in his own backyard had the advantage of safety.

He set a small goal for himself, to break through to the Twofold Mortal Realm as soon as possible.

This would greatly enhance his safety in the face of unforeseen situations.

The long night passed in the blink of an eye.

In the mountains, time does not exist; in cultivation, there are no years or days.

Cultivation could indeed make one stronger, but it also consumed a lot of time.

After one night, his cultivation level had increased significantly.

Cultivation: Mortal Onfold 74.3/100.

He had gained 2 points in his cultivation.

His lifespan had not changed for the time being, still at 51 years.

Cultivation Technique: Everlasting Spring Technique, first level 33.2/100.

The progress of the Everlasting Spring Technique was surprisingly rapid.

He discovered that the advancement of his cultivation technique seemed to be directly proportional to the energy absorbed during cultivation.

Thus, with such a significant improvement, it must have been due to cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree for six hours yesterday, which added 30.2.

Cultivating in his own backyard for one night only increased it by about 1.5.

Qin Niu couldn’t help but lick his dry lips, actually missing the astonishing speed of cultivation under the Ancient Banyan Tree.

The speed of cultivation there was twenty times faster than in the outside world, too enticing.

It was just that there was a possibility he might not be able to come out after entering, which made him hesitant to take the risk.

Termite swarms could save him once, but it did not mean they could be successful every time.

He looked at the Treasured Sword on the ground; the green tree blood smeared on it had completely disappeared without a trace. Picking it up, it looked no different from usual, showing no signs of change.

Gripping the Treasured Sword, he walked over to the pile of firewood.

He chopped down on a piece of dry wood as thick as a calf’s leg.

The sound of the sword’s whistling appeared once again.

Bang!

The Treasured Sword struck the dry wood fiercely.

The power of the Treasured Sword seemed to have become a bit stronger, but it was also possible that it was, due to his cultivation sharply rising last night; it was hard to be sure.

The fact that the Treasured Sword could absorb the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood showed that it must have some use.

Qin Niu returned to the well to fetch a bucket of water to wash himself. After a night of cultivation, his body seemed to have sweated quite a bit.

Eh, this little grass seems to have grown quite quickly!”

He was surprised to discover that the grass that had guided his cultivation had grown to three inches tall.

Moreover, its leaves were thick and lush green, full of vigorous life.

He recognized this grass; it was the common roadside foxtail grass.

According to his planting experience, it would take at least twenty to thirty days for foxtail grass to grow from sprouting to this height, and that could only happen in the summer with ample rainfall and high temperatures.

“Why has this foxtail grass grown so quickly?”

Qin Niu checked the surroundings but did not find any other weeds.

He vaguely surmised that the rapid growth of this foxtail grass might be related to him sitting beside it and cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique.

To verify this guess, he just needed to change his location for tonight’s cultivation.

After drying off and dressing, he continued to hide all his possessions including the Treasured Sword and the Everlasting Spring Technique inside the front of his shirt.

The corn in the field had already started growing. Apart from fertilizing, it basically did not require much attention.

Once the crops grew, the grass underneath would have difficulty sprouting up again.

Almost no weeding was necessary.

He had bought the Green Demon Beekeeping Manual two days ago and had yet to read or study it.

Today, as he was going to the mountains to check on the termites, he could find a place to learn the Green Demon Beekeeping Manual.

Perhaps he could glean some methods of cultivating termites from inside it.

If the termites he raised could be as powerful as the green bees cultivated by the Green Demon, that would be awesome.

He also had another idea: once the termites were raised to be more formidable, he could send a few into the range covered by the Ancient Banyan Tree’s canopy. If they could come out safely every time, Qin Niu would no longer have to worry about the issue of not being able to exit.

The termites could lead the way for him.

As long as he could freely enter and exit, that Ancient Banyan Tree could instead become a treasure for him. He would be able to experience the twenty-fold cultivation speed inside every day and also use its Banyan Tree Blood to nourish the sword.

Although exploiting the Ancient Banyan Tree like this seemed somewhat unscrupulous.

But on the path of cultivation, it is all about seizing every opportunity, willing to die for the Tao but never at the cost of impoverishing oneself.

To seek eternal life, one must have a ruthless heart..
