Chapter 12: Qi Refining Level 3
Just like practicing other spells before, Chu Ning first went through the key points in his mind, circulated his mana, and pinched the spell.
Then, he pointed to the air.
Silently, there was no movement in the air.
Seeing this, Chu Ning was stunned.
If he hadn't clearly felt the consumption of mana in his body, he would have thought that he had not cast the spell just now.
"This spell consumes a lot more mana than the clearing spell just now, but it still failed to cast?"
Chu Ning tried again, still no movement.
After trying several times, Chu Ning finally accepted the fact that without the blessing of the Yinmu spirit body, his talent was indeed very ordinary.
A water spell, the sweet rain spell, actually easily stumped him.
"It seems that under the current circumstances, my best practice is still the wood spell. The practice of spells of other attributes is too laborious and the progress is too slow.
I just don't know if there will be other talent rewards as I break through later."
Chu Ning immersed his mind in the system again.
[Qingmu Changchun Gong (Yellow Rank, Lower Grade), First Level (62/300)]
Qingmu Changchun Gong gained 1 point of proficiency through last night's practice, but the Clearing Technique, Inducing Technique, and Sweet Rain Technique that he just practiced still did not appear.
So far, Chu Ning has also figured out something.
That is, his proficiency is only useful for practicing techniques, not spells.
In addition, Chu Ning vaguely feels that even practicing techniques may have certain limitations.
Otherwise, he can practice other techniques at will and get rewards. I am afraid that this golden finger will not have such loopholes.
"Then Jiuyin Body Forging Technique can also be rewarded. Is the body forging technique also useful?"
Chu Ning wrote this down, thinking about finding a suitable body forging technique later and trying it again.
And his current priority is to continue to practice Qingmu Changchun Gong well, while improving his proficiency, and also improving his own cultivation.
So, in the following period of time, Chu Ning resumed the routine of the previous few days.
He practiced in the morning and evening at his residence, and during the day, he went to the fields under Cao Dongxin's instructions to drive away insects and birds and remove weeds.
Because he used it a lot, he became more and more proficient in the removal technique.
Of course, he was also proficient in the Qingmu Chunhua technique. After all, he used this spell every day, and with the help of this spell, he quickly improved his Qingmu Changchun technique.
Chu Ning was also practicing the stimulating technique and the sweet rain technique. The stimulating technique was fine, and everything was normal.
It was just that the progress of the sweet rain technique was indeed a bit slow. Chu Ning could perform it, but he was not satisfied with the precipitation or the consumption of mana.
This also forced Chu Ning to accept the fact that he was mediocre except for the wood-based techniques and spells.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Ning had been in Qingxi Sect for almost three months.
In the past two months, Chu Ning had lived a very regular life.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Work in the fields and practice during the day, and practice and rest at night.
Then, every half month, he went to the training room to learn spells and some basic knowledge of spiritual plants.
After several times, Chu Ning learned the formulas of blade technique, object driving technique, and wind control technique from Shi Yao.
Blade technique has a certain attack power, but it is mainly used for harvesting spiritual plants.
Object driving technique is a common spell in the world of immortal cultivation, and it also has certain uses in the daily process of spiritual plant cultivation, such as sowing, harvesting, etc., so it can be regarded as a basic spell.
However, when Chu Ning wanted the formulas of other spells, Shi Yao refused to teach him again, just saying that he would not chew too much, and asked Chu Ning to practice the technique well.
That day, Chu Ning came to the field with Cao Dongxin as usual.
After two months of growth, the red spiritual rice grains became fuller and turned completely red, and it was time to harvest.
Chu Ning is no longer a novice in farming. He already knows that the red spiritual rice grains that Cao Dongxin treasured are actually not of high level among spiritual plants.
The cultivators of Qingxi Sect, except for the low-ranking menial disciples, rarely eat this kind of red spiritual rice.
This kind of spiritual rice is mainly used as a grain, and a considerable part of it is actually used to make food for spiritual beasts.
This kind of spiritual rice can be harvested with an ordinary knife, but it is too slow, so the two of them performed the blade technique.
The sweet rain technique was the spell that Chu Ning showed more in front of Cao Dongxin before. The reason why he chose this spell was naturally because it was the spell he was least proficient in.
Now, Chu Ning performed the blade technique in front of Cao Dongxin.
Cao Dongxin performed the blade technique on a row of rice, and the rice fell down and lined up neatly. Then he used the clearing technique and the driving technique to peel these rice from the straw and put them into a basket.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Chu Ning. When he saw that Chu Ning's blade technique only cut a few rice plants, his face was actually smiling.
Before, Chu Ning completed the Qi Refining in a short time, which really made him feel a lot of jealousy.
Now, when he saw Chu Ning perform the Blade Technique, he found that the other party was not much better than himself at the beginning, and his heart was immediately balanced.
After he harvested all the crops he had to harvest today, Cao Dongxin said to Chu Ning:
"Harvest all the crops in this area today, remember to finish it today."
After leaving this sentence, Cao Dongxin put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards his residence.
Although Chu Ning's Qi refining entered his body quickly, his cultivation level did not improve much in three months.
Now that he did not master the Sweet Rain Technique and Blade Technique very well, it was naturally unlikely that his Inducement Technique and Clearing Technique would be much better.
With the cultivation level of the first level of Qi refining and the inability to practice magic, even if the sect allowed Chu Ning to farm alone, the land he was given would not be very good, and the area would not be large.
Cao Dongxin felt inexplicably better when he thought that Chu Ning would live worse than himself in the next period of time.
After Cao Dongxin left, Chu Ning continued to perform the Blade Technique, not only at Cao Dongxin's request, but also because Chu Ning really wanted to practice this spell better to prepare for farming in the future.
After all, this is a gold spell, and there is no shortcut for Chu Ning.
However, Chu Ning's Blade Technique at this moment is much better than what Cao Dongxin saw just now.
With the blessing of the third level of Qi refining magic power, even if the Blade Technique is not practiced very well, it is more than enough to harvest the red spirit rice.
Yes, after more than two months of practice, Chu Ning has actually reached the third level of Qi Refining.
After the first level of Qingmu Changchun Gong proficiency exceeded 100, he entered the second level, and after breaking through 200, he entered the third level.
At this time, Chu Ning could see his practice progress in his mind with a little thought.
[Qingmu Changchun Gong (Yellow Rank Lower Grade), First Level (299/300)]
After two months of practice, with 10 days left before the three-month assessment period, Chu Ning's first level of Qingmu Changchun Gong proficiency is close to perfection.
Chu Ning is also preparing to practice this last 1 point of proficiency tonight.
When the Nine Yin Body Forging Technique was practiced to perfection, his talent was refreshed and he obtained the Yinmu Spirit Body.
I just don't know what kind of changes this Qingmu Changchun Gong will bring to me after the first level is perfected.
