I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 57: Reward

Zhao Qiang’s face showed a look of surprise.

It seems Fellow Daoist Zhou has spent quite a bit of time on this magic?

However, after all, it is just a low-tier technique, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Just as the group was growing impatient, they saw a thumb-sized spirit insect, with two pairs of tiny wings, nearly translucent, crawl out from a bug hole on the stalk of the Pure Heart Spirit Flower.

As if it had just noticed the surrounding danger, it immediately spread its wings and flew quickly into the distance, moving at an astonishing speed.

But Zhou Changwang, already prepared, pointed directly with his finger.

Whiz~!

A flash of golden light instantly obliterated its head.

Then in the next instant, the spirit insect stiffly fell from the air, dead beyond doubt.

"Did it just kill a Spirit-Devouring Insect?"

Zhao Jie was overjoyed to see this.

Although he noticed some confidence in Zhou Changwang’s expression, he never thought it would go so smoothly.

From forcing out the spirit insect to the extermination action, it was completed between breaths.

Too fast.

It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

"Another instant casting.

And it’s Geng Metal Finger..."

Zhao Qiang was shocked.

Earlier, he noticed that Zhou Changwang was extremely fast at casting the Fireball Technique.

And now, this Geng Metal Finger truly astonished him.

A technique practiced to the Great Success stage can indeed be instant cast, but two techniques... this is not simply a matter of spending a lot of time in practice.

Because most cultivators, even if they spend a lot of time practicing a certain technique, find it extremely difficult to cultivate it to the Great Success stage.

This can only be credited to talent.

Or having someone to guide.

With a master guiding, borrowing previous experiences, one can indeed quickly improve the cultivation progress of various techniques...

Of course, for them, this is also a good thing.

Because Fellow Daoist Zhou is now exterminating insects for them, the more impressive he is, the easier it will be to eliminate their pest problem, right?

"So impressive.

It seems Fellow Daoist Zhou is also highly respected in the Spirit Farmer field?"

Qian Xiaoyue’s eyes shone brightly, and she couldn’t stop observing Zhou Changwang, feeling he was surrounded by a captivating aura.

"Continue."

Zhou Changwang also secretly sighed in relief upon seeing this.

Although he trusted the Spirit Farmer’s Manual, it hadn’t been verified, so he couldn’t guarantee the effectiveness of his methods.

Seeing everything going smoothly now, he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and quickly eliminate all the spirit insects.

The speed of his casting was also intentional.

He didn’t have much knowledge of the Zhao Brothers.

Now that the marketplace is chaotic and they are in the wild, he needs to display a few skills to dispel any potential thoughts the two might have.

The path of cultivating immortality is tough, and one must be vigilant.

"Alright."

Zhao Jie was even more eager than Zhou Changwang, quickly directing an Ice Arrow towards the second Pure Heart Spirit Flower.

Zhou Changwang then used a similar method, bringing the Fireball close.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Five breaths later, another Spirit-Devouring Insect spread its wings and rushed forward.

In the next instant, it was directly pierced through the head by Zhou Changwang’s Geng Metal Finger.

Then came the third one, the fourth one...

With Zhao Jie’s cooperation, Zhou Changwang methodically exterminated the insects on all fronts.

Almost no spirit insect could escape his Geng Metal Finger.

"I’ve heard that a new pest control expert has emerged at the foot of Changling Mountain, solving the pest plague at the Spirit Plant Hall that even Spirit Plant Masters couldn’t resolve.

Initially, I was skeptical, but seeing Fellow Daoist Zhou’s methods truly opened my eyes, I must admit."

While constantly controlling the Ice Arrow Technique, Zhao Jie didn’t feel tired; his joy was evident, and he praised openly.

"This is also because of your cooperation, senior. If your technique control wasn’t good, I wouldn’t be able to cook without ingredients."

Zhou Changwang said modestly.

"Nevertheless, what’s the principle behind this?

Why are the Spirit-Devouring Insects being drawn out?"

Qian Xiaoyue asked curiously.

The Zhao Brothers also revealed a look of anticipation.

As spirit farmers, they deal with various spirit insects year-round, so naturally, they want to know.

"It’s actually quite simple.

Spirit-Devouring Insects fear the cold; if you force them with chill air, they can’t withstand it.

The heat from the Fireball Technique is used to lure them out of the spirit plant quickly.

Otherwise, they would think the season has changed to winter and would soon hibernate."

Zhou Changwang explained indifferently.

As he spoke, several more Spirit-Devouring Insects were resolved by him.

Half an hour later.

With the last Spirit-Devouring Insect drawn out and killed from the final Pure Heart Spirit Flower, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Changwang also couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Fortunately, I did not disappoint."

"This time, I’m truly grateful.

If it weren’t for Fellow Daoist Zhou intervening, my half-acre of Pure Heart Spirit Flowers would probably be a total loss."

With a face full of excitement, Zhou Jie said.

One Pure Heart Spirit Flower can produce three spirit flowers, each worth three Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. The loss would be immense if the half-acre went barren.

Hence, his words were truly sincere.

After thinking for a moment, he took something from his storage bag and handed it to Zhou Changwang, saying, "This is a method for raising spirit beasts that I obtained by chance a few years back. I see you also keep a spirit dog, so this might be useful to you.

Consider it a gift this time."

Zhao Qiang’s contribution was relatively simple; he merely handed over a small bag of spirit stones, saying, "This is your reward."

"The two seniors are too generous."

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but say.

"It’s well-deserved."

The two waved their hands vigorously, insisting he accept.

Zhou Changwang pushed back a couple of times before accepting them with the flow.

He didn’t open them to check on the spot, but after casually chatting for a bit, he expressed his intention to leave.

He was still unclear about the situation in the marketplace, and worried about his three spirit seeds hidden in the underground secret room, it felt like he had an urgent need to return.

Seeing this, the Zhao Brothers didn’t insist on holding him back, as they also had matters to attend to, only reminding them to be careful on the way before watching them leave.

On the way, the two didn’t chat much.

Just like before, Zhou Changwang used the Derivation Technique to explore the path, and their pace was quite brisk.

At this point, Qian Xiaoyue finally understood why Zhou Changwang could always foresee danger.

It turned out it was due to this technique.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but recall her Listening Technique, feeling a bit frustrated.

If she’d kept her technique active while traveling last night, would she have detected many dangers early?

At least those two martial artists lurking wouldn’t have been able to scare her...

In reality, this is common for many cultivators; they’ve rarely experienced combat, so when sudden situations arise, they are often at a loss.

Frequently, they have techniques but don’t know to use them.

Some even perish without having the time to regret.
