The Supreme Azure Emperor Technique, when cultivated to the peak of the sixth realm, could accelerate the ripening of herbs in a large area, and the speed was extremely fast. It was equivalent to the speed of the peak of the fourth realm, which was the speed of a single herb.
Accelerating the ripening of a large area meant that one didn't need to touch it with their hands or bodies. They only needed to use their divine sense, activate the technique, and release spiritual energy to the herbs.
But herbs were still herbs after all, not a tree, and they couldn't be compared to a real tree at all.
Not to mention the thickness, height, and so on, just the weight alone might not be as heavy as the weight of a tree even if all the herbs in the yard were cut and weighed.
Therefore, the difficulty of ripening a fruit tree was definitely much higher than the difficulty of a large area of herbs. They were not on the same level at all.
There were two basic conditions. First, the Wood Spiritual Qi in the body must be sufficient. If there wasn't enough Wood Spiritual Qi, then there was no way to continue. Second, when using the Cultivation Method, the Wood Spiritual Qi released must be controlled to a fine level. Otherwise, too much Wood Spiritual Qi would be wasted, which was equivalent to doing useless work.
Miao Xiao Miao had a wood attribute physique. She had reached the peak of Qi Cultivation Level Three, so she naturally had enough wood spiritual energy in her body to ripen this pomegranate tree. That was why she tried.
But the problem was the second condition. Ripening a pomegranate tree was different from ripening a large area of herbs. It didn't mean that the rain and dew were evenly distributed. She had to wait until all the pomegranate trees blossomed before she could release as much spiritual energy as possible to the fruits. Only then would the fruits grow rapidly.
Otherwise, the spiritual energy you released would be supplied to the trunks, branches, and countless leaves. The branches would become thicker, and the leaves would become lush, but what use would it have for the fruit to grow and mature?
Simply put, it was still a problem of efficiency.
But this was definitely not just the difference in the Supreme Azure Emperor Technique. More importantly, there was the difference in Qi Cultivation Level. Ling Yun was at the peak of Qi Cultivation Level Five, but Miao Xiao Miao was at the peak of Qi Cultivation Level Three. How could they compete?
"You …"
Miao Xiao Miao looked at the bright red pomegranates on the tree and grinned as if they were mocking her. Her beautiful face turned red and white as she bit her lips hard. She looked away from the pomegranate tree and looked at Ling Yun.
"You've already reached the seventh stage of the Supreme Azure Emperor Art, the Flower Blossoming State?"
From Miao Xiao Miao's point of view, Ling Yun's Supreme Green Emperor Art was able to produce such a terrifying effect. She was certain that Ling Yun had already reached the realm of "Blooming Flowers with a Thought".
Ling Yun shook his head. "Not yet, but I'm almost there."
He was telling the truth. He hadn't reached the level of Blossoming Flowers with a Single Thought. Although there was only one step between the peak of the sixth stage and the seventh stage of the Azure Sovereign Emperor Art, it was like a huge chasm that was extremely difficult to cross!
If it was said that it would take half a year for someone to cultivate the Azure Supreme Emperor Technique from zero to the peak of the sixth stage, then it would take at least a year to make the leap to the seventh stage.
The time needed to cross this realm was at least twice as long as the time needed to cultivate the six great realms in the past. Moreover, one had to be extremely talented. Otherwise, they would be stuck at this level for the rest of their lives. It would be impossible for them to blossom with a single thought.
Otherwise, it would be too easy to cultivate the Supreme Green Emperor Art. It would be a common cultivation technique and not worth much money.
The seventh stage of the Supreme Green Emperor Art was a qualitative change. Blossoming Flowers with a Thought was almost equivalent to a miracle.
Therefore, even with Ling Yun's unparalleled talent, he wasn't able to break through to the realm of One Thought when he was undergoing his tribulation in the East Sea. His body had been tempered by the wood element tribulation lightning and he had absorbed countless amounts of energy from it.
He was still at the peak of the sixth stage, but he was infinitely close to breaking through.
Although Ling Yun and Miao Xiao Miao were both at the peak of the sixth stage of the Supreme Green Emperor Art, the difference between the two of them was too great.
The difference was like two watermelons that looked the same on the outside, but inside, one was red and ripe, and could be eaten as soon as it was cut open, while the other was white and not ripe at all!
"Then how did you do it?!"
Miao Xiao Miao's attitude was very good. She knew that Ling Yun didn't do this to embarrass her. Although she was very unwilling, she was convinced. Therefore, she asked directly.
"Hehe, you want to know? Pour me some tea. "
Ling Yun smiled proudly and ignored the pomegranate tree. Instead, he went back in a flash and laid down on the rattan chair.
He was full of arrogance!
"Master, look at Ling Yun!"
Miao Xiao Miao stomped her feet in anger. She started to complain to the Green Bird, not forgetting to glare at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun pretended not to see it.
"Xiao Miao, this is between the two of you. Master won't interfere."
After the shock, Qing Niao regained her composure. Now, no matter what kind of heaven-defying things Ling Yun did, she would only feel gratified and wouldn't be too surprised.
She smiled sweetly and didn't say anything to suppress Ling Yun this time.
"Hmph, isn't it just pouring a cup of tea? What's the big deal?"
Miao Xiao Miao could only rely on herself when she saw that her master was no longer useful. She leaped to the side of the wooden table and poured a cup of tea for Ling Yun. Then, she slammed the teapot heavily in front of Ling Yun. "Here, fill yourself to death!"
"Hehe …"
Ling Yun picked up the teacup and finished it in one gulp. Then, he started explaining to Miao Xiao Miao.
"… To put it bluntly, I can do this because I have reached the realm of Minute Subtlety! I can let the Wood Spiritual Energy I released reach the hundred pomegranate fruits accurately. It will only promote their growth and not be wasted on the branches and leaves … "
"Even though you used all your strength, where did all your Wood Spiritual Energy go? It's simply running around in the tree, making the entire tree grow a few centimeters taller …"
"Making the entire tree grow isn't something we do. That's the work of the sun and the earth."
Miao Xiao Miao and the other three listened attentively. Then, they all revealed a look of realization.
"You're the one who's drinking milk!"
Miao Xiao Miao couldn't help but retort. Then, she frowned and said, "Minute Subtlety … But, with my current realm, it's impossible to do it, right?"
"That's why I said you still can't do it!"
Ling Yun laughed and glanced at her proudly. "Work hard on your cultivation in the future, babe!"
After a pause, Ling Yun kept his smile and said seriously, "This can't be rushed. It needs a long time. Actually, your cultivation speed is already very fast. After all, reaching the peak of the sixth realm, you can accelerate the growth of herbs on a large scale. For cultivators below the Golden Core Realm, that's definitely enough. "
He couldn't just provoke her. After that, he had to let her regain her confidence. Therefore, Ling Yun started to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, Miao Xiao Miao said directly, "Let me use that tree of yours."
"No way!"
Ling Yun rejected her directly. He knew that Miao Xiao Miao wanted the Ghost Divine Willow.
"I'll use it to cultivate for a while. I'll return it to you when you leave Qingshui City!"
"That won't do either!"
Ling Yun shook his head. "It's not about that tree at all. Your body can only store so much Wood Spiritual Energy at your current realm. From now on, the key is to understand the realm of Minute Subtlety. The deeper your understanding, the more you'll understand. Then, you'll be able to do what I did today."
"Got it, stingy!"
Miao Xiao Miao gave up decisively. She didn't forget to roll her eyes at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I've told you so much and pointed out the direction for your cultivation in the future. All I did was pour you a cup of tea. Who's the stingy one?"
"Ling Yun, thank you for taking care of Xiao Miao."
Miracle Doctor Xue said to Ling Yun telepathically. He expressed his gratitude again and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
"Hehe, you're welcome, Grandpa Xue."
Ling Yun stood up again. This time, he came to the edge of Miracle Doctor Xue's herb garden. He didn't observe the growth of the herbs. Instead, he lowered his head to observe the soil.
"Grandpa Xue, the soil in your herb garden should be specially made, right?"
With Ling Yun's current eyesight, he asked directly after a quick glance.
"That's right. I used a large amount of dried roots and leaves of the herbs that aren't needed. I burned the ashes and mixed it with human and animal feces."
Miracle Doctor Xue was a true expert when it came to growing medicinal herbs. He shook his head and said, "The soil created by this method is very fertile. It used to be enough for these herbs to grow for two seasons, but now …" Miracle Doctor Xue was a true expert when it came to growing herbs.
Naturally, it was no longer possible now. Because Miao Xiao Miao would come over to cultivate the Supreme Azure Emperor Art from time to time, she would harvest the soil roughly once a week. At most three times, the effects of the soil would plummet until it was no different from normal soil.
This was after the third time. If it were to happen a few more times, this herb garden would become a sandy land, and not even a blade of grass would grow.
The Ling Family and Mansion Number One didn't have this problem. That was because Ling Yun's spirit gathering formation and the Ling Family's Ghost Divine Willow were constantly replenishing the spiritual energy in the herb garden.
"Haha, watch me!"
Ling Yun found the problem and immediately started to solve it. He had nothing better to do anyway.
"Whoosh!"
This time, Ling Yun took out the Yin-Yang Five Elemental Fire, which was the Rainbow Flame. He activated it with his divine will!
"Boom!"
The originally spiraling seven-colored flame abruptly turned into a flat shape. Moreover, it instantly enlarged, and unexpectedly enveloped the entire herb garden in an instant!
Ling Yun's move left the other four people speechless once again!
The scene in front of them was too beautiful. The entire herb garden was covered in the Rainbow Flame. Not only were the various spiritual herbs not burned, but they swayed in the flames as if they were enjoying it.
Next, Ling Yun burned a few hundred drops of Divine Energy. He activated his divine will again and forced the Rainbow Flame into the ground to burn the soil.
Fire begets earth!
Ling Yun couldn't produce the real Five Elemental Earth in such a short time, but it was more than enough to turn this soil into Spirit Earth.
Ling Yun actually used the theory of the mutual generation of the five elements to completely turn the soil into Spirit Earth!
"Whoosh!"
When it was almost done, Ling Yun retrieved the Yin-Yang Five Elemental Fire with his divine will. Then, he took out two big iron balls and used the Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword to cut them into dozens of evenly sized pieces. He then set up a spirit gathering formation around the Spirit Earth to prevent the spiritual energy from dissipating.
Ling Yun nodded his head in satisfaction after doing all this in one go. He turned back and smiled. "The spiritual energy in this Spirit Earth can last for at least two years. Grandpa Xue, you won't have to trouble yourself anymore."
…
Old Bu's books had a special characteristic. Whatever the main character was supposed to do had to be done. After everything happened in the book, even his will couldn't be changed. Whether it was the main character or the supporting characters, good or bad, he had to give a perfect explanation to all the characters.
Those characters were there, alive. That was their lives and their stories. He was only serving them by writing them out for everyone to see.
Therefore, since it was already the end of the month, he had to explain the plot of Qingshui City clearly. Next month would be the big climax — Ling Yun saving his mother.
