10: The Art of Spring Breeze and Rain

"Wu Xingyang: Brothers, don't worry about me, I'm doing great! I signed a non-disclosure agreement, so there are many things I can't tell you guys."

In the WeChat group, Wu Xingyang suddenly appeared.

In Zhang Sheng's opinion, Wu Xingyang might be similar to himself, having participated in a national project, but unlike himself, his project should be related to Talent.

The next morning, Zhang Sheng once again felt changes in his body, which was filled with power, clearly feeling stronger.

Although there was no time for Running and throwing stones, Cultivating the Heavenly Circulation Method was clearly more important now.

Arriving at the Comprehensive Experimental Building, Zhang Sheng first had a hearty meal in the second-floor restaurant.

Only upon arriving at the office did he learn that after he left last night, the three senior students had also successively completed their first Refining Essence into Qi.

Each of them had stored the first wisp of Spiritual Qi in their bodies.

However, the frail Senior Sister Bai almost fell into a coma.

Everyone had excited and thrilled expressions!

"Zhang Sheng, come quickly and see."

Senior Sister Bai opened the computer monitor.

The rice seeds in the outdoor environment already showed signs of germination, but those in the indoor simulated solar ultraviolet environment still showed no reaction.

Professor Liu was extremely excited, exclaiming, "Students, since the gold spirit rice can germinate, it means that the current Earth's environment is capable of growing these spirit plants. In fact, Capital has already sent news; they are a step ahead of us."

"Now the most important thing is to accelerate the growth rate of the gold spirit rice. According to the common knowledge of cultivation, many Spells can promote the growth of spirit plants."

"The Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique in your hands is a Spell that promotes plant growth, and casting a Spell inevitably requires the consumption of Spiritual Qi. This is also why you need to Cultivate the Heavenly Circulation Method; one link follows another."

Professor Liu handed each student a suggested timetable, which indicated the schedule for Cultivating the Heavenly Circulation Method and the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique.

Professor Liu specifically looked at Zhang Sheng: "Xiao Zhang has better physical fitness, so his Cultivation will be faster, and his schedule will be a bit more demanding than the three of you."

"At least three Refining Essence into Qi sessions a day, with the rest of the time spent learning and casting the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique." This was the teacher's arrangement for Zhang Sheng.

Two hours for each Refining Essence into Qi session, three sessions would still take six hours. Adding rest and meal times, this task was quite arduous.

As for the three senior students, it was twice. Last night's Refining Essence into Qi session alone took Senior Sister Bai four hours, so even twice would be a considerable amount of pressure.

Returning to his own Cultivation room, Zhang Sheng began his first Refining Essence into Qi session of the day.

Cultivation knows no time.

Two hours later.

"Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Circulation Method (Beginner: 2/10)" A wisp of silk-like Spiritual Qi successfully increased in his Dantian.

Showering and dining were completed in one go.

Returning to his Cultivation room, Zhang Sheng began to read the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique. The difficulty of learning this Spell was far greater than that of the Heavenly Circulation Method.

Zhang Sheng needed to control the Spiritual Qi in his body to circulate along the correct Meridians channels, while simultaneously forming hand seals. The hand seals and the circulating Spiritual Qi in his body could not have the slightest error to successfully cast the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique.

When Cultivating the Heavenly Circulation Method, it was essential to ensure the body absorbed enough food during the intervals between two Refining Essence into Qi sessions to continue Cultivating, otherwise it would harm the body.

This interval could be used to Cultivate the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique. Not only Zhang Sheng, but other senior students also arranged their time this way.

After memorizing the contents of the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique, Zhang Sheng sat cross-legged on the futon, forming hand seals while simultaneously controlling a wisp of Spiritual Qi to circulate within his Meridians.

Unfortunately, one wrong gesture, and the Spell casting failed.

Spiritual Qi circulation too slow, Spell casting failed.

Spiritual Qi circulation too fast, Spell casting failed.

Spiritual Qi circulation interrupted, Spell casting failed.

Incorrect hand seal connection, Spell casting failed... Ten attempts, ten Spell casting failures. Not only that, the two wisps of Spiritual Qi he had painstakingly accumulated in his body were completely depleted.

This Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique is too difficult!

Zhang Sheng, looking dejected, walked out of the Cultivation room, preparing to go to the second floor to eat his fill before undergoing Refining Essence into Qi again.

He happened to run into Senior Sister Bai, who was skipping along.

"Junior Brother Wa, why the long face!" As she spoke, a small cloud the size of a fist rose in her hand.

"Senior Sister, you succeeded?" Zhang Sheng asked in surprise, "My name is Zhang Sheng, not Junior Brother Wa."

"Oh, it's all the same!"

Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes at her, but he couldn't express his envy.

Soon, the cloud in Bai Mingzhu's hand transformed into raindrops, scattering into her palm.

Senior Sister Bai quickly collected it in a container and ran outside, "Junior Brother, I'm going to water the spirit seeds with this spirit rain; it can't be wasted!"

The entire Comprehensive Experimental Building was very lively. Besides the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique that Zhang Sheng was learning, other research groups were also learning other Spells.

Two hours later, Zhang Sheng once again refined a wisp of Spiritual Qi.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to the Cultivation room, he succeeded in casting the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique in one go, in just a single attempt.

Looking at the miniature cloud the size of a fist in front of him, Zhang Sheng was incredibly excited. The wisp of Spiritual Qi he had just refined in his body was also completely consumed, in exchange for this small Spell cloud.

All of this was truly amazing.

Ancient Chinese books recorded that there were Divine Beings who possessed the ability to move mountains and fill seas. Now, it seems that this might become a reality in the near future.

The talent panel also changed.

"Detected castable Spell - Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique, do you want to learn?"

"Yes!"

"Spell: Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique (Beginner: 1/10)"

This meant he could increase his proficiency by improving his Spell casting, which was wonderful!

Soon, Zhang Sheng couldn't control the spirit cloud, which automatically transformed into a mass of spirit rain and fell into Zhang Sheng's hand.

Zhang Sheng collected it in a container and took it to the experimental base.

Upon arriving at the experimental base,

The scene in one experimental field caught Zhang Sheng's attention.

"This must be Senior Sister Bai's experimental field!" One small seedling stood out, having grown a full five or six inches tall, while the others had only just broken out of their shells.

These were all gold spirit rice seedlings.

Did Senior Sister water one plant with all the spirit rain?

Zhang Sheng was allocated two groups of gold spirit rice, ten seeds per group. Originally, one group was indoors and one outdoors.

Now they were all moved outdoors for cultivation, placed next to Bai Mingzhu's experimental field.

Zhang Sheng divided the spirit rain into five portions and watered five of the ten germinated seeds, leaving the remaining five as a control group.

After making arrangements, Zhang Sheng returned to the Cultivation room to continue Cultivating. With the intelligent detection System there, he didn't have to worry too much.

The immediate priority was to Cultivate the Heavenly Circulation Method, to reach proficiency early and see what effects it would have.

Cultivation knows no time; half a day passed.

At 8 PM, it was Professor Liu's scheduled group meeting time.

The five gathered in the conference room.

Except for Senior Brother Cheng Hao who hadn't successfully learned the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique, Senior Sister Bai, Senior Brother Zhang Yong, and Zhang Sheng had all learned the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique.

"Today's biggest achievement is confirming that the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique indeed has astonishing effects in promoting the growth of spirit plants! Today, we must especially commend Xiao Bai, who was the first to learn it," Professor Liu said; "Cheng Hao, don't be discouraged, this Spell is not difficult, you'll learn it quickly with more practice."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mingzhu's face almost blossomed with smiles.

Professor Liu brought up the surveillance footage of the experimental base, showing the experimental fields of the group.

Among them, Bai Mingzhu's experimental field stood out, having applied the Spring Breeze Turning into Rain Technique twice, both to a single seedling.

It had already grown half a meter tall.

Next were Zhang Sheng's seedlings. The seedlings watered with spirit rain had all grown one foot tall. Zhang Sheng had cast the spirit rain technique three times in total, which was one more than Bai Mingzhu, but he focused on cultivating five seedlings.
