A day in the life of the Spirit Plant Cultivator Li Shiming passed like this.

Early in the morning, he arrived at the spirit fields and utilized his physical and spiritual power to perform the ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill.”

Only after he truly began tending to the spirit field, did he discover areas where his ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill” needed improvement.

The first issue was the range. Normally, he could only cover a hundred square meters at a time with his ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill” for the five acres of spirit field, requiring him to perform the skill 34 times to cover everything.

It was then that the hardship of being a Spirit Plant Cultivator truly revealed itself. With his Qi Refining Third Level spiritual power, just performing the ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill” 34 times would consume half of his spiritual power.

Luckily, he had advanced to the Qi Refining Third Level; otherwise, with the spiritual power of the Qi Refining Second Level, he could, at most, tend to about two acres of spirit field and still deplete his spiritual power daily.

Next was the effectiveness. The effect of the ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill” when executed in the spirit field, was significantly different from when applied in an indoor air-space without soil.

A great degree of the spirit rain would seep into the mud beneath the spirit field instead of being absorbed by it.

Thus, he was researching through IBMz15 data analysis, aiming to manage the volume of the spirit rain from the ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill” to meet the growth needs of the Spirit Rice and extend the range of the ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill.”

This required finding a balance where, without affecting the growth of the Spirit Rice, he could cover the area to the greatest extent possible.

This phase was still in the data collection stage, and studying this would take a considerable amount of time.

After performing the ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill,” his work at the spirit field had not yet ended.

Geng Metal Skill activated a Geng Metal Needle, which zipped through the spirit field to clear any potential spiritual insects.

Since the spirit soil was initially purified, there were very few spiritual insects in the spirit field.

In the end, the spiritual insects that managed to infiltrate through the defense array into Eagle Beak Island were extremely rare, with most being native to the spirit soil itself.

However, the spirit field still required daily cleansing. In a day or two, the few existing spiritual insects would cause minimal damage, but over time, they could impact the growth of the Spirit Rice.

The profession of a Spirit Plant Cultivator was his foundation for surviving within the sect, so even though he did not rely on the spirit field for his cultivation, he still tried his best to excel at it.

After dealing with the spirit field, two hours had passed.

Next, as the Spirit Plant Cultivator Li Shiming, he performed the ”Spring Breeze and Rain Skill” on the spirit bamboo, which was in a very good condition, its roots already adapted to the spirit soil.

Transplantation was tremendously harmful to spirit plants, but to help the spirit bamboo recover faster, he still watered it with a specially formulated nutrient solution.

By then, the work of the Spirit Plant Cultivator came to a pause.

The following time was reserved for the Sword Cultivator Li Shimingʼs cultivation, where Sword Control Technique proved to be the most costly combat skill, entirely crafted for mastering the art of killing.

With the Fiery Flame Sword fully refined in his hands, his deep resonance with it allowed him some influence over the sword even if it briefly left his hand.

The Sword Control Technique utilized this subtle influence, turning it into a skill that could be precisely manipulated.

In the Sword Control Technique, a fully refined longsword is referred to as an acknowledged sword artifact.

Fully refining the sword was not the endpoint but rather the starting point of the Sword Control Technique. As he practiced, his connection with the Fiery Flame Sword would deepen even further.

If it werenʼt for his realm being only at the Qi Refining Third Level, if his Qingyuan Wood Sword hadnʼt reached one hundred percent refinement, if he hadnʼt found the most suitable metal attribute sword, he wouldnʼt have settled for the Fiery Flame Sword.

Among all his lower-grade long sword artifacts, the Fiery Flame Sword was already the best.

As for mid-grade long sword artifacts, coming from the Loose Cultivator background of the Hao Family, the situation with mid-grade long sword artifacts was really hard to describe—apart from better materials, he truly did not want to use that mid-grade long sword artifact.

What Li Shiming didnʼt know was that the Fiery Flame Swordʼs quality was strong because it was a hereditary artifact from Shi Ximing, prepared by his ancestors for their descendants—it was naturally a fine artifact of its kind.

The Fiery Flame Sword flew out of his hand, speeding into a sword light. The sword light, controlled by the ”Sword Manipulation Technique,” flipped and whirled beside him.

He felt as if he wielded the sword just like Junior Master Cui, though of course, that was just his own perception. Stay updated with

Nevertheless, the ”Sword Manipulation Technique” was the strongest cultivation technique for sword cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm within the sect. Having cultivated the ”Sword Manipulation Technique,” he had indeed acquired a bit of the bearing of a sword cultivator.

Besides having some spirit rice for lunch, he devoted all four two-hour periods solely to practicing the ”Sword Manipulation Technique.”

IBMz15 continuously analyzed the deficiencies in his practice, allowing his progress to advance rapidly.

By dinner time, Li Shiming returned to his cave abode. Through a secret passage in the basement, he entered the underground space.

He caught two small fish from the Spiritual Spring, made a pot of fish soup with spiritual spring water, added spirit rice, and enjoyed a delightful meal.

During this time, he discovered that the quantity of spirit fish in the Spiritual Spring was very high. The ones that surfaced in the pond were only a small part, and no matter how many he caught, there was no visible decrease in their numbers.

However, once he discovered the important uses of spirit fish, he never regarded them as mere spirit food again.

After finishing dinner, he immediately immersed himself in cultivating the ”Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill.”

Ever since he had eaten spirit fish, he found that his progress in cultivating the ”Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” had greatly increased, and the recovery period had also shortened by one day.

This meant that as long as he ate spirit fish before practicing the ”Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill,” he could cultivate it every day.

According to precise calculations by IBMz15, eating two spirit fish before each cultivation session was optimal.

Eating more was wasteful, and eating less would impact the effectiveness of his practice.

He didnʼt know the reproduction rate of the spirit fish, and he also didnʼt know if indulging in them would drive them to extinction, so the best choice was not to exhaust the resource.

Feeling the flow of Vajra energy throughout his body, his physique was now impervious to the common blades of the mortal world, and this was just after a short period of practice.

Once he had cultivated the ”Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” to the first level, he would be able to withstand attacks from Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators, even if those cultivators held low-grade magical artifacts, he could defend with his body alone.

This was his initial goal. Without advancing to the Qi Refining Fourth Level, his ”Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” would only ever reach the peak of the first level.

The appearance of the spirit fish replaced the need for the spiritual medicine required by the ”Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill.” The restorative spiritual medicines were not as effective as the spirit fish, which also had benefits for strengthening the physique.

He felt this effect immediately after eating the spirit fish.

Ordinary cultivators, even without practicing body refinement techniques, could strengthen their bodies just by eating spirit fish to a degree several times greater than those of the same realm who did not practice body refinement techniques.
