[Spirit Vein Essence: The source of life energy in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, capable of generating Spiritual Qi that grants life and vitality to all things, nourishing the heavens and earth, and is one of the original powers of the realm]

[The most fundamental growth method for Spirit Vein Essence is to form special spirit veins by harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth at the center of the earth veins of mountains and rivers. The stronger the mountains and earth veins, the stronger the earth veins they can nurture]

[Spirit Vein is a special place formed by the combination of Spirit Vein Essence and mountain and earth veins, able to gather the Power of Heaven and Earth, rapidly condense and transmit Spiritual Qi...]

"Mountain and earth veins are the foundation of spirit veins, but they don't serve much purpose for me..."

The best mountains and earth in the Immortal Cultivation Realm have long been occupied by major powers, not something Qi Ping could lay claims to.

Moreover, even with the help of mountain and earth, spirit veins still need years and years to gradually form, with a very slow speed.

The advantage of forming a super-strong spirit vein that can benefit thousands of miles is the mountain and earth, but the slow formation speed is a disadvantage.

The unimpressive mountain and river veins of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range destined that Qi Ping could not take this path to nurture spirit veins.

Additionally, if a large-scale, powerful spirit vein formed in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it would be more of a curse than a blessing!

"Given this, nurturing spirit veins through mountain and earth is not suitable for me. The most suitable path for me is to nurture spirit veins with the nurturing of Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth!"

"However, I have an advantage in understanding the Power of Heaven and Earth and can harness the Power of Array to absorb part of the power of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers into the Spirit Vein Essence, accelerating the growth of Spirit Vein Essence and the production of Spiritual Qi..."

The effect of Qi Ping's measure should not be particularly significant, but it is beneficial in being continuous, adequately supplying the growth of ordinary Spiritual Medicines.

Especially when all the Spiritual Qi produced by the spirit vein is locked within an array, it is still quite substantial.

For a major power, it might be limited, but for Qi Ping alone, it's quite sufficient.

"Next is to use Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth to nurture the Spirit Vein Essence..."

The cost of nurturing spirit veins with Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth is very high, but it is also a choice many Loose Cultivators cannot avoid; some powerful cultivators who prefer solitary cultivation also use the method of nurturing with mountain, earth, and Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth to accelerate the growth of spirit veins.

Though the cost is high, the benefits are not absent.

Nurturing spirit veins with Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth not only allows the spirit veins to grow rapidly but also locks the Spiritual Qi within a small range, maximizing the usage of Spiritual Qi produced by the spirit vein.

Plus, if different Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth are used to nurture the spirit vein, it will form a spirit vein with special effects.

The better the Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth used, the better the special effects of the spirit vein.

For instance, someone using Earth Fire Essence to nurture spirit veins would create a spirit vein with special fire attribute effects, greatly benefiting cultivators practicing Fire Attribute Techniques.

Similarly, someone using a cultivator's body to nurture spirit veins would generate spirit veins brimming with intense resentment and murderous aura, highly effective for cultivation in Demonic Dao Techniques and Magic.

"If I prioritize nurturing spirit veins with Spirit Tree Essence, supplemented by the Five Elements Spiritual Power Law and the Power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, I wonder what kind of effects the resulting spirit vein would have?"

Qi Ping harbors significant ambition regarding the spirit vein he wants to cultivate.

His advantage in cultivating spirit veins lies in his skills, [Tree Spirit Contract] and [Natural Sanctuary].

[Within the area of the Natural Sanctuary, trees under the [Tree Spirit Contract] can quickly recover as long as they are not in a state of death.]

With these two skills, Qi Ping can cultivate the spirit vein at the fastest speed without spending a large amount of Spirit Stones to collect Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, Qi Ping believes that spirit veins cultivated with abundant Spirit Tree Essence would have extremely extraordinary effects, definitely suitable for Druids at the very least.

"It's just unfortunate that in all the books and materials I've read, I've never seen anyone simply using Spirit Tree Essence to nurture spirit veins. After all, the cost is indeed too great!"

"If it weren't for the blessing of the Natural Sanctuary, even if I possess Plant Growth, I couldn't afford the extravagance of cultivating spirit veins entirely with Spirit Tree Essence..."

Qi Ping's intuition tells him that if nurtured over the years in this way, it should produce a very special set of spirit veins, especially those cultivated with those rare Spirit Woods.

Furthermore, Qi Ping's ambitions go beyond this. He also plans to supplement the nurturing of spirit veins with the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth and the Power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth are the foundation of the Law, and the Sun, Moon, and Stars are one of the top special powers in the world. Infusing this power into the spirit veins, although the effects are unknown, would undoubtedly be beneficial for both Qi Ping and the growth of the spirit vein. It might even boldly elevate the growth limit of the spirit vein.

...

After determining the cultivation method for the spirit vein, Qi Ping immediately set to work.

After taking out the Spirit Vein Essence, which exuded a mystical spiritual power, Qi Ping placed it underground at the center of the array.

He then expended effort to set up two arrays: one to absorb the power of the mountains and earth, and the other to absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The difficulty of setting up these two arrays is not very high for an Array Master, and Qi Ping had long prepared for them. After acquiring the [Three-Colored Spirit] talent, Qi Ping arranged them with ease.

"The array for absorbing the power of the mountains and earth is about right; adding more could cause some anomalies."

"The array for absorbing the power of Heaven and Earth can continue to be studied. The Power of Heaven and Earth in the Immortal Cultivation Realm is vast and mighty, as long as the array level is sufficient, any powerful array can be set up!"

As the power of the mountains, earth, and the Power of Heaven and Earth flowed continuously, the Spirit Vein Essence began to gradually awaken, emitting pure Spiritual Qi.

"Very good!" Sensing the pure Spiritual Qi emanating from the Spirit Vein Essence, Qi Ping felt immense joy.

He could finally produce his own Spiritual Qi!

From now on, he would not be strangled by others over the matter of spirit veins!

After the arrays were set up, Qi Ping used the Spiritual Medicine refining method to extract about one-tenth of the Spirit Tree Essence from the Star Spirit Wood (Spirit Gathering Technique).

Upon Qi Ping's completion of the extraction, the Star Spirit Wood (Spirit Gathering Technique) appeared noticeably weakened, though the impact was not significant.

Thanks to the Natural Sanctuary, the origin-injured Star Spirit Wood was gradually recovering under its effect.

Perhaps because it involved the Life Origin, the recovery speed was not very fast, but it was definitely not slow either.

"It should recover completely after some time!"

Once confirming the Star Spirit Wood's condition was sound, Qi Ping proceeded to the Spirit Vein Essence and completely covered it with the Spirit Tree Essence of the Star Spirit Wood.

As the Spirit Tree Essence appeared nearby, the Spirit Vein Essence seemed to sense it and actively absorbed it!

As the Spirit Tree Essence was absorbed, the aura of the Spirit Vein Essence began to strengthen continuously, and the Spiritual Qi it emitted increased exponentially!

"Not bad at all!"

"With this effect, as long as I cultivate the four Tier Three Spirit Wood Seeds in my possession, the Spirit Vein Essence could reach Tier One Perfection or even advance to a Tier Two Spirit Vein in just a few years. At that time, I could begin safely cultivating Spiritual Medicines and raising my cultivation level."

Qi Ping was quite satisfied with the enhancement effect of Spirit Tree Essence on the Spirit Vein.

Moreover, these were just low-level Tier Two Spirit Woods. When the four Tier Three Spirit Woods were cultivated, it would be time for the Spirit Vein Essence to rapidly improve.

Just as the Spiritual Qi emitted by the Spirit Vein Essence gradually increased, the Stone Spirit, usually unresponsive no matter the noise, suddenly awakened!
