Chapter 33: Chapter 30 Absorbing Moonlighti

The second realm is about becoming one with nature. After achieving this realm, one can drawqi from nature; being nourished by the natural energies of the heavens and earth rejuvenates the spirit and soul, leading to immeasurable longevity. Moreover, it also enhances one’s affinity with plants, allowing for a better understanding of nature.

No wonder this Cultivation Technique has been classified as a Life-Nurturing Technique, which is entirely different in concept from those techniques that result in a body as clear as crystal or imbue one with the mighty strength of a dragon upon completion.

Those techniques are fundamentally for combat, whereas the Everlasting Spring Technique is solely for comprehending nature and getting closer to it.

Purely a Life-Nurturing Technique.

It’s probably more suitable for those who enjoy a pastoral life and live without competition with the world.

It’s just that there are too few in this world who don’t seek fame and wealth.

So, it’s normal that it’s not well-liked.

Furthermore, since it’s an incomplete manual, it’s even riskier for others to invest in.

The first realm seems to belong to the Mortal Realm, while the second realm already pertains to a true Cultivator.

The first realm involves understanding the way of nature, allowing the body to mimic nature, nurturing the qi and blood, strengthening the physique, and completing the initial transformation of the body. Its purpose is to fortify the flesh and blood, preparing for the cultivation of the second realm.

After understanding this technique, Qin Niu felt an unusual joy in his heart.

The vast majority of low-level Cultivation Techniques are only capable of enhancing and strengthening the body.

Even at their peak, they are still stuck struggling in the Mortal Realm.

This technique allows one to step into the threshold of a Cultivator through the second realm, which is an incredible opportunity for a poor village kid like him who lacks a powerful family and other options.

It gives him a real chance to become a Cultivator and to touch upon the threshold of immortality.

That’s hundreds, thousands of times better than the common peasants who live and die like the grass and trees in a single autumn.

He didn’t rush into cultivation but instead repeatedly studied the first realm of the technique.

The cultivation method of the Everlasting Spring Technique is indeed a bit odd.

Other techniques either involve consuming nourishing foods or toughening the body rapidly to gain strength, or they involve breathing in the spiritual qi of the heavens and earth, unblocking meridians, and invigorating the blood and qi.

But the initial cultivation of rhe Everlasting Spring Technique actually requires one to comprehend nature, to feel the breath of the grass and trees, to sense their growth… Isn’t that nonsense?

If that’s all it rakes to succeed in cultivation, then every farmer would be a master.

They deal with plants every day, either planting crops or weeding.

All day long they study how to make rhe crops grow better, trying to increase yields.

Even a low-level fanner like Qin Niu can easily know how long it takes for a seed of sorghum to germinate, when rhe cotyledons will break through the soil, and when the male flowers will grow… But none of this helps with cultivation.

He had gone over rhe first part of the cultivation method in the Everlasting Spring Technique three times and was still utterly confused.

Spending five Silver Money on a cultivation manual he could nor practice made him feel as uncomfortable as if his heart was being scratched by a cat.

Although the methods of immortality were right before his eyes, he couldn’t grasp them.

By that time, the sorghum and bear meat in the pot were thoroughly cooked.

He took them out and savored the meal.

Life was truly comfortable with meat to eat.

That bear’s carcass was enough for him to eat for two months.

While eating, he couldn’t help but mull over the cultivation method of the Everlasting Spring Technique again.

To comprehend nature, one shouldn’t sit inside a house.

One should sit in a natural environment.

“I remember rhe book mentioned that before practicing, it’s best to burn incense, take a bath, and wear loose and comfortable clothes.”

An image of rhe mute girl from the Talisman shop appeared in his mind.

She was wearing a loose hemp garment, barefoot… Could it be that she did this for rhe sake of cultivation as well?

That’s indeed a possibility.

Talisman Masters belong to a niche profession that not only requires a profound foundation in drawing skills but also a deep understanding of the way of heaven and earth.

It’s said that each Talisman is painstakingly drawn by them as a crystallization of their efforts.

Some Talisman Masters may even faint from the excessive depletion of their essence while creating a single Talisman. Without Life-Extending Methods, the life span of a Talisman Master is usually quite short; they typically reach their limit by their forties or so.

After finishing his meal, Qin Niu bathed and changed his clothes.
