Time passed quietly without a trace, and before anyone knew it, several hours had gone by.

"Done..."

When Xu Ping withdrew the Longevity Mana, he saw that the wounds on the roots of the Nourishing Essence Spirit Orchid had miraculously vanished, and the previously withered roots began to grow again.

Just by watering it with Spirit Water, it could surely regain its vitality!

If that was all, it wouldn't be all that astonishing.

After all, even a second-stage Spirit Plant cultivator could do the same thing.

The more important aspect was the increase in the Spirit Orchid's medicinal age.

Xu Ping's Divine Sense carefully felt that the medicinal age of this Nourishing Essence Spirit Orchid had surprisingly grown from one year to two years, gaining an extra year out of thin air.

"I didn't expect the Longevity Mana to have such a marvelous transformation!" Xu Ping's eyes shone brightly.

It is known that in the field of spirit plant cultivation, cultivators indeed possess some means to hasten the maturation of spirit medicines.

However, these methods mostly apply to ordinary spirit medicines, and the entire process is quite lengthy.

For example, to carefully cultivate a spirit medicine to reach a medicinal age of one year often requires spending half a year.

How could it compare to Xu Ping, who only needed a few hours to increase the medicinal age by one year!

However, this was not without cost; Xu Ping also consumed two months of his lifespan.

But, two months of lifespan is insignificant compared to his long lifespan.

"If it's merely for increasing the medicinal age of ordinary spirit medicines, consuming lifespan to accelerate is naturally not worth it, but if it can increase the years of rare spirit medicines, the value it brings is immeasurable." Xu Ping pondered inwardly.

In his view, even if he had to pay ten years of his lifespan to increase the years of rare spirit medicines greatly beneficial to his cultivation, it would be entirely worth it.

After all, ten years of lifespan could easily be compensated by obtaining a second-stage life-extending Spiritual Object.

"What kind of method is the master using?"

At this moment, the Lake Shores Mouse, which had been witnessing all of this, was already dumbfounded with astonishment.

It naturally also keenly noticed the significant increase in the medicinal age of this Nourishing Essence Spirit Orchid.

Saving this Nourishing Essence Spirit Orchid wasn't anything too difficult, but raising its medicinal age by such an amount in such a short time was truly rare.

However, Xu Ping never mentioned the method he used, so the Lake Shores Mouse, despite being filled with curiosity, dared not ask rashly.

But at this moment, Xu Ping had no time to care what the Lake Shores Mouse was thinking. His thoughts had already drifted to another matter.

He was contemplating the extent of enhancement the Hundred Bamboo Wood would receive if he applied his current Longevity Mana to the Tribulation Spirit Skill.

Although the day to perform the Tribulation Spirit Skill hadn't yet arrived, doing so a few days early wouldn't make much of a difference.

Thinking this, Xu Ping approached the Hundred Bamboo Wood.

"Tribulation Spirit Skill!"

Xu Ping's expression remained as calm as ever, his hands quickly forming complex Spells.

His fingertips lightly tapped, and a massive torrent of vibrant green Longevity Mana, like a roaring flood, burst out from his fingertips.

In an instant.

"Boom!"

This mass of Longevity Mana exploded in the open space, turning into countless small green dots.

These green dots drifted down like a green downpour, falling precisely on all the Spirit Plants and Spirit Medicines on the Thousand Leaves Mountain.

Phew!

In the blink of an eye!

The lush and green Spirit Plants and Spirit Medicines on the Thousand Leaves Mountain rapidly lost their vitality, the leaves turning yellow and gradually withering.

In just a moment, they turned into piles of black ash, leaving behind numerous large green clusters teeming with powerful life force.

"Go!"

Under Xu Ping's skillful control, these life-filled green clusters dashed through the air, swiftly merging into the Hundred Bamboo Wood.

"Buzz!"

After absorbing these life-filled green clusters, the entire Spirit Wood instantly emitted a strong green spiritual light.

"Crack!"

In the next instant, the entire Hundred Bamboo Wood began to grow at an eye-catching speed visible to the naked eye, with the trunk thickening and the branches and leaves becoming more luxuriant.

Just like that, the Hundred Bamboo Wood grew over three feet taller and then gradually slowed in growth, eventually stopping.

"An increase of fifty percent!" Witnessing this scene, a trace of joy flashed in Xu Ping's eyes.

Although he had anticipated some increase in the efficiency of the Tribulation Spirit Skill, he hadn't expected it to be this significant.

But after a little thought, it seemed quite reasonable.

After all, each spirit medicine added a small amount of life force, but altogether, the entire mountain's worth of spirit medicines amounted to a lot.

This is the concept of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

"Not bad!" Xu Ping nodded in satisfaction.

This enhancement meant that the time required to forge the Sword Array had been pushed forward again.

By then, the Sword Array formed by seventy-two artifact embryos, combined with his profound Sword Dao realm, might even allow him to contend with cultivators in the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

And not just rely solely on the Talisman Array as before.

After all, although the Talisman Array was powerful, it was useless if the opponent dodged it.

The combination of the Sword Array and Talisman Array is the foundation to stand firm.

"Looks like Artifact Refining Technique should be on the agenda!" Xu Ping touched his chin thoughtfully.

Although the materials needed to forge the artifact embryos had long been fully acquired, he had been busy with other matters, delaying the Artifact Refining.
