"I’ve awakened another Spirit Root?" Chen Mo was somewhat baffled.

Could it be that eating could awaken Spirit Roots and even improve their quality?

To verify this theory, Chen Mo circulated the Spiritual Qi in his body to rapidly digest the two pounds of Spirit Plants he had just consumed. Afterward, he cooked another pot and ate it.

To his surprise, the stats for his Wood Spirit Root increased by another point!

Although this tiny bit of experience was negligible—it did not even meet the entry requirements for the Immortal Sect—the crucial part was that it could be increased!

This meant that, aside from the mysterious fruits, other Spirit Plants were also more or less beneficial for cultivation.

If he could gain one point of Spirit Root experience with every meal, as long as he persisted and ate like this for ten or twenty years, wouldn’t he be able to reach the level of those natural geniuses?

Thinking of this, Chen Mo laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Others are young geniuses. Being an old genius isn’t too bad either."

With this in mind, Chen Mo decided to reacquaint himself with the cooking skills he had long neglected.

Now he had rice, chicken, and vegetables. In the future, he would raise ducks, pigs, cattle, and sheep. With such abundant food, his cooking methods couldn’t remain so simple.

No one could stand eating plain boiled vegetables every day.

Even after eating it for just two consecutive meals, Chen Mo already had no desire for more.

After all, while Spiritual Qi could accelerate digestion to relieve physical fullness, the psychological aversion couldn’t be eliminated so easily.

It seemed he needed to vary his diet.

After calming his thoughts, Chen Mo figured it was time for his Vitality Technique to level up. He whistled, and Kang, who was outside the door, dashed in as fast as its legs could carry it.

However, when it smelled the aroma of food filling the room and saw the scraps on the table, the rooster was thoroughly disappointed.

"Come here."

Kang let out a disgruntled sneeze, its cross-eyed gaze occasionally darting toward the Pentagonal Heavy Lizard perched on Chen Mo’s shoulder.

More than half a month had passed, and the heavy lizard had grown to nearly half a meter long. The rapid growth rate exceeded Chen Mo’s expectations.

Of course, this was partly due to the [Sturdy] Talent.

However, the lizard ate no less than Kang. Fortunately, the Pentagonal Heavy Lizard was an omnivore; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to afford raising it at all! He couldn’t possibly buy Spiritual Birds just to feed it.

It was no wonder Song Yunxi had advised him against raising one.

After Kang reluctantly approached, Chen Mo began massaging down its neck. He massaged it for half an hour.

He didn’t stop until the rooster let out a high-pitched crow.

[Vitality Technique +1]

Chen Mo’s gaze focused on [Sturdy], and a line of text appeared:

[Sturdy (Purple): All naturally born spirits have corresponding acupoints. Stretching their muscles and bones with the Vitality Technique can promote growth. Grooming and massaging Spiritual Birds every fifteen days can increase their physical size by 100%. (This Talent requires cultivating vitality-type magic to the Proficient Realm for integration.)]

"It really is!"

Twenty percent, fifty percent... Chen Mo had previously deduced that once this Talent upgraded to purple, the boost would very likely increase to a hundred percent.

Now, the Talent’s upgrade confirmed his thoughts.

At this moment, Chen Mo also realized just how terrifying this Talent was.

What did a 100% increase in size mean?

It meant that, if he wanted to, the Kang in front of him could grow to over three meters tall in at most two months.

In that case, how would it still be considered a chicken? It might as well be a Demon Beast! Just one lacking in combat strength.

Therefore, Chen Mo theorized that the true application of this Talent went far beyond that. He could entirely use [Sturdy] as [Rapid Maturation]. This way, a chicken that normally took two and a half years to be ready for the market would take at most a little over half a year!

At least in terms of individual size, there would be absolutely no difference.

He wouldn’t let Kang and the other two original Spiritual Birds grow any larger for the time being. The ten hens were needed to lay eggs, and growing them too fast might cause unnecessary trouble, so that left only the ten roosters and the Pentagonal Heavy Lizard.

By doing this, he would be able to sell them in about two more months.

When the time came, he would buy other Spiritual Birds and Spiritual Beasts to raise!

...

Chen Mo’s days became increasingly comfortable.

After some consideration, he butchered a large rooster, stored it in his Storage Ring, and cut off a bit of meat every day to stir-fry with Cyan Leaf Orchids. Occasionally, he would pound the Spirit Yellow Rice into rice flour and make a bowl of steamed pork.

Having eaten like this for so long, Chen Mo gradually realized why the disciples of the Immortal Sect cultivated so quickly.

Absorbing Spirit Stones for cultivation was one thing, but eating various Spirit Plants and Spiritual Birds every day would also continuously accumulate Spiritual Qi in the body. If supplemented with an Elixir or two, their cultivation speed would be blazing fast.

However, this was merely what he imagined the Immortal Sect to be like.

If the disciples of Purple Cloud Peak found out that a Spirit Plant Cultivator was dining like this every single day, they would probably go mad with jealousy! Even they couldn’t afford to have Spirit Plants for every meal!

In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.

Ban Xiaowei still hadn’t come down the mountain. Song Yunxi delivered those four Low Grade Spirit Stones to Chen Mo, telling him to return them whenever he had mastered the technique.

It seemed his initial decision had been correct.

Another batch of Cyan Leaf Orchids and Yellow Spirit Grass Flowers ripened in the fields. After harvesting them, Chen Mo deliberately pulled the leaves apart piece by piece, filled a large basin, and delivered it to the Master’s Mansion.

This way, he could do them a favor without arousing suspicion.

When Song Yunxi asked about it, Chen Mo simply said he had planted an acre of each just to eat for fun.

Of course, in Song Yunxi’s eyes, Chen Mo, who could steadily earn twelve Spirit Stones a year, could live very comfortably even if he didn’t farm—not to mention how diligent he was!

After harvesting the Cyan Leaf Orchids and Yellow Spirit Grass Flowers, Chen Mo and Kang—one man and one rooster—each hefted a sickle and began reaping the Spirit Yellow Rice!

It took them two days in total to harvest the 4,000 pounds of Spirit Rice from the ten acres of Spirit Fields.

When this rice was packed into the Storage Space, the twenty-foot square area was finally full to bursting!

The most space-consuming items were the Cyan Leaf Orchids and Yellow Spirit Grass Flowers. Just two harvests took up half the space, and there was likely more than he could eat in a year.

"Looks like it’s time to buy another Storage Ring!"
