Chapter 22 Missionary Paintings
Cultivation spells have targets, and different plants will give different proficiency levels.

To improve your proficiency in [Thriving Growth], it is best to practice with plants that have a short growth cycle.

What Zhao Xing is seeing now is a plant called [Toothgrass].

"Under natural conditions, toothgrass can grow from a seedling to maturity and bear fruit in less than a month. It is usually used to feed cattle and sheep, but it is rare in the south. The old Si Nong's yard is really a treasure chest."

Zhao Xing immediately ran to the tooth grass.

The vital energy was released, wrapping around the toothgrass, and the [Thriving Growth] spell glowed slightly.

Then the toothgrass began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[You cast 'Thriving Growth' on the toothgrass, and the plant enters the growth stage from the seedling stage. Spell proficiency +50]

[You cast 'Grow Strong' on the toothgrass, and the plant enters the mature stage from the growth stage. Spell proficiency +150]

The vitality is decreasing rapidly, but the proficiency of thriving growth is rising rapidly.

The spell rank in the early stage is not high, but if you choose a good training target, it will increase rapidly.

Of course, this is also related to natural understanding.

If Zhao Xing had not taken Dao Embryo Pill, it would not have been possible for him to gain so much proficiency.

"Using the five elements to observe things can also make this tooth grass grow faster." During the process of casting the spell, Zhao Xing had some vague insights.

The toothgrass in front of him appeared in a translucent manner, and its internal roots and veins were clearly visible.

Wherever the vital energy goes, it can make the tooth grass grow faster and smoother... This is the effect of observing things with the five elements!

With the 'Five Elements View of Things', it is equivalent to prescribing the right medicine for the right disease. The spell of thriving growth will be more effective and the efficiency of cultivation will be greatly improved.

[You cast 'Thriving Growth' on the toothgrass, and the plant enters the growth stage from the seedling stage. Spell proficiency +50]

[You cast 'Grow Strong' on the toothgrass, and the plant enters the mature stage from the growth stage. Spell proficiency +150]

A feeling of emptiness came over Zhao Xing, and he stopped casting spells because his vitality had run out.

The land in front of me is already covered with toothgrass, even covering the sides.

"Mumble, mumble~"

Zhao Xing drew some well water, drank a few big gulps to relieve his fatigue, and sat by the well, feeling quite contented.

【Thriving Growth: Primary Spell】

[Progress: (3210/9999)]

【Effect: Accelerate nutrient absorption and shorten the time it takes for plants to mature. 】

"I'm already at the third level of growth. It's only halfway through this morning, and I've already climbed two levels."

“Try this old locust tree.”

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pointed, and golden light spun three times in the air and sank into the old locust tree.

The old locust tree didn't even tremble, which means that your magic power is not enough.

The panel didn't respond at all.

"The old locust tree has deep roots. The five elements of observation can show its growth rings, like a solid wall. My little vitality is simply unable to help it break the shackles of growth."

Cultivation is a gradual process, and Zhao Xing was not surprised.

"I'd better cultivate the tooth grass honestly and set a small goal. Before the Beginning of Autumn exam, I will first practice the vigorous growth to the ninth level!"

Time passed, and soon it was the day before the Beginning of Autumn exam.

Zhao Xing did nothing for the past six days except having sex with Chizicao.

Plant and pull up, pull up and plant again. If the soil is not fertile enough, move to another location.

Even the evening time was utilized.

[Progress: (9010/9999)] [Effect: Accelerate nutrient absorption and shorten the time it takes for plants to mature.]

"Finally, the ninth turn."

Zhao Xing felt relieved, and the joy faded away, leaving him with a deep sense of fatigue.

Without caring about anything else, he found a bamboo mat in the room in the backyard and fell asleep.

Xue Wenzhong came to the backyard, looked at the weeds piled on the ground and Zhao Xing who was sleeping soundly, and nodded slightly.

Then he stretched out his hand and a soft breeze swirled around Zhao Xing.

Although the movement was small, the force was not small, and it actually lifted Zhao Xing up.

Before he knew it, Zhao Xing was taken to Xue Wenzhong's bedroom.

When he woke up again, Zhao Xing found himself feeling more refreshed than ever before. It seemed as if there was a breeze blowing all the time while he was sleeping. It was clearly the hottest time of the year, but he actually felt like he was sleeping in spring.

"Woo~" Zhao Xing stretched himself and realized something was wrong. Wasn't he supposed to sleep outside? Why was he sleeping on the bed?

"It seems that the teacher carried me in, but my clothes are still covered with mud..."

Looking at the mat that he had made dirty, Zhao Xing wanted to find something to wipe it.

When I looked up, I saw a painting hanging on the wall.

In an instant, Zhao Xing could no longer look away.

The scroll emitted a faint glow, as if it had magical powers. He walked to the mural unconsciously, as if his entire soul was sucked into it.

The clouds in the painting dispersed, and green emerged on the earth. Countless plants sprouted out of the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The vitality that was elusive in reality seemed to have a shape and was clearly visible between this world.

There were waves of unique frequencies coming from underground, like breathing.

"Is that... the earth vein?" Zhao Xing understood something.

Life and vitality blended at this moment, the vitality of heaven and earth combined yin and yang, and each plant appeared clearly in front of him, from seedlings to maturity, flowering and fruiting...

"Om~"

It was unknown how long it took before Zhao Xing came out of this illusion.

The painting before my eyes is still a painting, but it no longer has the magical effect.

"So this is a picture of the growth of all things, a classic work of the Self School." Zhao Xing immediately reacted. "But the artistic conception is too strong. How high-level must this rubbing be?"

I looked at the panel and found something recorded:

[You discovered the 'Growth Diagram of All Things' (Level 4, Lower Grade)]

[This treasure is a missionary item, remaining times: 1]

[You observed the 'Growth Diagram of All Things' (Level 4, Lower Grade), and your growth has reached the maximum level. ]

[You have mastered the intermediate spell 'Wild Growth'. ]

[You have mastered the elementary spell 'Earth Vein Synthesis'. ]

"Whoo~"

The painting hanging on the wall suddenly caught fire and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?" Zhao Xing hurriedly tried to grab it, but the speed was too fast and it burned to ashes in almost a second.

"There is only one remaining time for the preaching painting, and I used it up." Zhao Xing felt a little uneasy.

A fourth-tier treasure is not something that is common, let alone a relatively rare "preaching painting". How should I explain this to the old Si Nong?
Just as he was thinking, the old Si Nong's voice came from outside: "It's getting late, the food is ready, eat before leaving."

"Yes, teacher." Zhao Xing went to the table nervously. Facing Xue Wenzhong, he said with a guilty conscience, "Teacher, I just got up and accidentally saw a painting in your study, and then it caught fire."

"Painting? What painting?" Xue Wenzhong narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhao Xing. "I don't know what you are talking about. Let's eat."
