The Anger of the Elixir Sect Elders (Monthly Ticket Requested)_1 Chapter 385: 183: Increase the Possibility of Life-Damage Skill!
The Anger of the Elixir Sect Elders (Monthly Ticket Requested)_1 The rainfall helps young crops thrive in March, and the warmth of the wind in May thaw out the land.
The farm busy in the evening brimming with joy, a full stomach and a good night sleep make for a fulfilling year.
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed, in the spiritual fields in front of Longevity Sect’s cavern-dwelling, Chen Dengming had his sleeves rolled up, and his trouser legs hitched, busily planting Spirit Rice in the fields.
With a straw hat on, he was the spitting image of an old farmer, which left quite a few disciples passing by flabbergasted.
Across the stream, He Yingyu was busy fertilizing the various plants in front of the cavern dwelling.
...
Xu Wei, meanwhile, was lounging atop the Black Cloud Leopard, lazily sunning herself while cultivating the Dharma Skill of Day-wandering ghosts.
This tranquil, leisurely scene exuded an aura of living an idyllic life; cultivating in a peaceful manner akin to men tilling fields and women knitting at home, free from the strife and wars in Eastern and Western territories.
A simple cultivation life, much like a true Utopia.
Chen Dengming was unsure if he could uphold this peaceful life for eleven years until he breaks through to the Golden Core stage.

All he could do now is cherish each day while he still could.
Sure, it seemed as if he was merely planting spirit plants, but he was actually also studying “The Rejuvenation Skill” and “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill”.
Of late, a closer understanding of “The Rejuvenation Skill” prompted him to realize his cultivation of “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill”, already honed to the third-tier, could be improved.
Now, these ideas were being tested on the Spirit Rice Saplings.
If “The Rejuvenation Skill” can replenish a person’s Primordial Qi by extracting energy from plants, heal injuries, and even enhance spiritual energy!
! then can this energy being compared to a person’s Primordial Qi?
If one’s Primordial Qi is greatly damaged, it could lead to a reduction in one’s lifespan.
If one’s Primordial Qi is recovered, life expectancy remains stable, or even extend as the Primordial Qi becomes more abundant!
Does it imply that this energy is in fact the same as Primordial Qi, which then equates to a person’s lifespan?
Using this theory, Chen Dengming began his research, combining “”The Rejuvenation Skill” and “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill”, to explore another avenue for improving his aptitude gradually.
“Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill” is essentially about consuming one’s lifespan to enhance individual’s spiritual roots.
What is lifespan?
It can’t be seen or touched, and is abstract and elusive.
It probably isn’t as simple as just Primordial Qi, but it definitely involves Primordial Qi to some extent.
The Hundred Loss Demon Path had managed to research the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill”.
Chen Dengming felt that with the help of his panel, and being able to cultivate “The Rejuvenation Skill” to a high level, there was hope in this field of research.
Even if he failed, it was still a form of Skill cultivation and hence, not a loss.
!
As he gestured to invoke the Skill,
plants not too far from the spiritual fields wilted rapidly, bundles of energy extracted and directed into the saplings right in front of Chen Dengming as he moved his fingers.
In an instant, a stalk of rice grew quickly before him, and then began to grow robustly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
After a few seconds, the row of saplings in front of Chen Dengming quickly grew to the height of a person.
The grown rice plants drooped down, each grain of rice the size of a date’s seed, golden and full, enveloped in spiritual energy, emitting a tempting fragrance.
“Junior Brother, with your planting method, you’ve ripened dozens of top-grade Spirit Rice in just a few seconds.
That’s enough for us to eat for several months…”
He Yingyu flew over, smiling at rows of towering Spirit Rice.
Chen Dengming plucked a grain of rice the size of a date seed, and upon peeling off its husk, found a piece of shiny Spirit Rice that gave off a fragrant aroma.
He nodded and laughed.
“In my hometown, there was an old man who was very good at growing rice.
He once dreamt of growing rice stalks the size of trees, and rice grains as large as fists, much larger than this top-grade Spirit Rice.”
He Yingyu looked surprised: “Such an extraordinary person!
How could the rice grains grown by mortals be larger than Spirit Rice?”
Chen Dengming chuckled and shook his head: “Senior Sister, you underestimate mortals.
There are many among them who, in terms of their mental state and intellect, are in no way inferior to cultivators.
They are just not blessed with spiritual roots, and thus cannot become cultivators.”
With that, He Yingyu placed her arm around Chen Dengming’s mud-stained arm, laughed, and said, “Yes, among mortals, there is you – an extraordinary Junior Brother – whom I’ve taken a fancy to.
I’ve made a mistake.
From now on, I won’t underestimate mortals…”
Chen Dengming removed He Yingyu’s hand.
“All right, you should leave first.
You’re getting dirty.
Let me observe in peace…”
He studied the grown Spirit Rice and saplings, tried a couple more times, and gradually confirmed that using “The Rejuvenation Skill,” he can indeed ripe Spirit Rice that is comparable to those on the market.
Many low-level Spirit Farmers in the Cultivation World do possess similar ripening skills.
However, their ripening speed isn’t as fast as his.
Generally, a number of steps are required, with the own’s spiritual energy being depleted.
Contrarily, “The Rejuvenation Skill” directly extracts the life force from other plant life and infuses it into Spirit Rice, causing it to ripen.
This technique does have some exploitative aspects.
The Dao of Heaven benefits the needy at the cost of the rich, and mankind should support the less fortunate at the expense of the fortunate.
Chen Dengming felt the “Rejuvenation Skill” wasn’t as simple as it seems.
It can take away his life force, enhance spiritual energy, heal injuries, and boost combat abilities during a fight.
Perhaps, when cultivated to a higher level, it can even seize the life force of others to compensate for oneself?
