Chapter 522: Chapter 340: Spirit Awakening Technique, Enthusiasm, Selecting Rice Varieties

“That’s good, junior will first plant the Spirit Grain.”

Lu Qing decided to do so as soon as he heard that Spirit Grain could forge a foundation for Little Yan.

“However, senior, how should the planting of the Spirit Grain proceed?

I don’t have any Spirit Grain seeds on hand.”

Now that Spiritual Energy had only just begun to revive, all the Spiritual Objects in the world had yet to be nurtured.

To plant Spirit Grain, one still needed seeds.

“Without Spirit Grain seeds, they can be cultivated on one’s own, it’s just more troublesome.

During the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, there were many types of spiritual materials, not all of which were naturally created.

Many were cultivated by the cultivators themselves.

In the inheritance you obtained from the Li Huo Sect, is there a ‘Spirit Awakening Technique’?”

Lu Qing searched his memory and nodded: “There is.”

“Yan” paused slightly; it was just a casual inquiry, but to its surprise, Lu Qing actually knew the “Spirit Awakening Technique.”

This made it even more curious about which member of the Li Huo Sect had left the inheritance to Lu Qing, and why it even contained techniques like the “Spirit Awakening Technique.”

However, “Yan” didn’t inquire further and instead said:

“Since you understand the ‘Spirit Awakening Technique,’ everything should be easy. This technique is a method of transforming the mundane into the spiritual.

It essentially is about gathering the essence of the heavens and earth, and infusing it into ordinary objects.

If the enlightenment is done properly, one can transform the mundane into the spiritual and have the chance to turn ordinary objects into Spiritual Objects.

Go and find some grain seeds of better quality to see if they can be enlightened into Spirit Grain seeds using the Spirit Awakening Technique.

It is rumored that practitioners with profound Cultivation could even turn a stubborn stone into a spirit within the stone.

However, such a divine skill that turns decay into wonder is difficult to achieve even for Primordial Spirit Great Powers.

In the nearly ten thousand years of inheritance from the Li Huo Sect, no such person has ever appeared.

And for you, simply enlightening a bit of Spirit Grain should not be difficult.”

As “Yan” explained, Lu Qing also pondered the “Spirit Awakening Technique” in his inherited memories.

The inheritance he obtained from the Leaving Fire Tripod had been quite complex.

Therefore, he had only glanced over most of it cursorily and not practiced it.

Now after pondering, he found that the “Spirit Awakening Technique” was indeed, as “Yan” said, a technique for transforming the mundane into the spiritual.

Moreover, this technique was generally practiced by cultivators who cultivated the Wood Element Technique.

Wood represents vitality.

Cultivators who practiced the Wood Element Technique were much stronger in handling Vitality Qi than other cultivators.

In cultivating Spiritual Plants, they were even more adept.

The “Spirit Awakening Technique” was an essential magic for them.

“You’re saying you need grain seeds of better quality, right? That’s easy.”

Lu Qing immediately went down the mountain, returned to the village, and arrived at Grandpa Zhang’s house.

By chance, Grandpa Zhang was at home and was surprised to see Lu Qing:

“Ah Qing, what brings you here? Come in, come in!”

Since Lu Qing’s return, he had been busy with various matters, spending most of his time at the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.

Thus, Grandpa Zhang had hardly been able to see him.

“Grandpa Zhang, I have come this time to ask for the help of the villagers.”

Lu Qing said politely as he sat down.

“What is it?”

Grandpa Zhang was taken aback, unable to think of anything that the villagers could help Lu Qing with.

“I need some rice seeds of better quality, so I thought to ask everyone in the village to help gather some, of course, I will pay for them.”

Lu Qing knew that rural villagers would generally have rice seeds kept for themselves, rarely buying from elsewhere.

Just recently, the village’s rice harvest was bountiful, so everyone should have some rice seeds saved at home.

“What you’re saying is too formal, it’s just some rice seeds. Fine, I’ll go to every household in the village and let them know, see who has saved up rice seeds already.”

Upon hearing this request from Lu Qing, although Grandpa Zhang didn’t know what he wanted the rice seeds for, he agreed immediately.

“Grandpa Zhang, please make sure they are of the best quality possible, I have an important use for them,” Lu Qing reminded.

“Don’t you worry, I will definitely get them to bring out their best rice seeds,” Grandpa Zhang asserted, patting his chest.

“Then I’ll head back to the mountain first. Once the rice seeds are ready, Grandpa Zhang, just let me know. It doesn’t need to be a lot, around ten catties will do.”

“Okay, you go ahead with your work. Once I gather the rice seeds from everyone, I will deliver them to you.”

After Lu Qing left, Grandpa Zhang pondered for a bit.

He first instructed his daughter-in-law to prepare the best rice seeds at home, and then he walked out of his house and headed to other villagers’ houses.

The first one he visited was the home of an old pal.

“Old Wang, Old Wang, are you home?”

“Who is it?” Hearing the shout, a young man walked out of the house and immediately looked more respectful upon seeing Grandpa Zhang, “Oh, it’s Grandpa Zhang. My grandpa is at home, please come in.”

Grandpa Zhang sat down inside: “Where’s your grandpa?”

“He was taking a nap in the back room, I’ll go call him.”

Soon after, an elderly man about Grandpa Zhang’s age came out from the back room.

He looked a bit sleepy: “Old Zhang, it’s rare for you to come by, what brings you here?”

“Can’t I come sit with you if there’s nothing else?” Grandpa Zhang said with a smile.

“Bullshit, in this sweltering heat, you’re telling me you’ve got nothing better to do than trek over to my place at midday for nothing? You must be kidding.”

Old Wang glared, not believing a word of Grandpa Zhang’s.

After so many years, how could he not know the old man’s character?

“Ha, I won’t beat around the bush, I’ll tell you the truth. Ah Qing just came to see me.”

“Ah Qing came looking for you? What for?”

Old Wang’s expression instantly grew serious.

Logically, Lu Qing lived right next door to Old Zhang, so visiting his house was an ordinary matter.
