Underneath the three ancient trees. With such abundant spiritual energy, Qin Tian could only breathe it in but was unable to absorb it. This left him feeling quite helpless, only able to smile wryly.

Of course, Qin Tian was well aware at this time that he still had a long way to go on his path of cultivating spiritual energy; he was just getting started.

He felt like a magician, suddenly able to see the mysterious spiritual energy that was hard to notice in daily life. This made Qin Tian rub his fists in excitement.

He didn't stay under the three trees for long and soon went off to explore other places.

Sure enough, he walked further and further towards the suburbs, deeper into the woods.

Finally, on the road at the foot of a barren mountain, Qin Tian saw from a distance a continuous stream of spiritual energy rising up from the mountain.

This was a strange phenomenon; it was the first time Qin Tian saw spiritual energy with such a large range of activity, able to break free from the forest and rise towards the sky. Just how much spiritual energy was there?

Qin Tian promptly stopped the car and rushed towards the source of the spiritual energy.

Upon reaching the site, he discovered that this spiritual energy seemed to have a golden glow, quite different from the energy emitted by the ancient trees.

"This is..."

When Qin Tian arrived at the spot where the energy was rising on the barren mountain, he was stunned.

It was a desolate grassland, yet on this barren field, there were two blades of grass that looked remarkably different.

The two blades of grass were very close to each other, a deep green in color, sprouting about twenty centimeters from the soil. The top of the green grass was crowned with wildflowers the size of small red fingertips.

They looked just like ordinary wild grass in the forest.

But these two unremarkable blades of grass were surrounded by a continuous stream of spiritual energy, rising directly like farmhouse smoke!

This spiritual energy, though not much, was extremely potent, distinctly different from the spiritual energy produced by the ancient trees!

"Spirit Grass?!"

With a look of surprise in his eyes, Qin Tian walked slowly towards the two blades of grass, muttering to himself in excitement.

"Could this be the Spirit Grass mentioned in the 'Gathering Spirit Technique', perfect for cultivating and absorbing spiritual energy?"

It must be!

Although he hadn't seen any actual Spirit Grass before, after witnessing such unusual spiritual energy, Qin Tian immediately had a strong premonition—

It was absolutely the Martial Arts encountering Spirit Grass!

He approached the Spirit Grass, squatted down, and observed them closely.

The Spirit Grass, while similar to ordinary wild grass, had its distinctions.

First, its color appeared deeper than ordinary wild grass.

Like a crane among chickens, amidst a cluster of common grasses, the Spirit Grass stood out as more noble and distinct.

Secondly, the leaves of the Spirit Grass were fewer but appeared more vibrant, offering a sense of being an eternal, unfading Living Grass!

Indeed, the Spirit Grass transcended the constraints of the four seasons, never wilting, life everlasting!

As Qin Tian reached out his hand to lightly feel the spiritual energy swirling around the two Spirit Grass blades, he sensed a distinct aura.

Especially when Qin Tian leaned in to sniff the surrounding spiritual energy, he felt clearly refreshed and invigorated.

"Wow, today I've struck gold! This is a top-grade item for gathering spiritual energy, on par with millennia-old ginseng!"

There and then, Qin Tian took out the 'Sunflower Secret Manual', carefully studying the chapter on the 'Gathering Spirit Technique', which described and detailed the Spirit Grass.

"Haha, the ancient texts I skimmed over without understanding now reveal their secrets about Spiritual Grass and Medicine!"

At that moment, Qin Tian was beside himself with excitement, realizing that the Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine mentioned in the 'Gathering Spirit Technique' were treasures specifically for cultivating and gathering spiritual energy.

Spiritual Medicine was crafted using Surging Spirit Grass and other treasures through the method of Alchemy. Qin Tian, however, did not yet know how to refine Spiritual Medicine, so he focused primarily on the Spirit Grass aspect.

Using the Spirit Grass to gather spiritual energy!

Following the method he used beneath the ancient trees to concentrate, Qin Tian began another session of cultivation before the two Spirit Grass.

This time was entirely different from before.

After absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy into his body, Qin Tian felt significantly more vitalized, with even his blood stirring slightly.

He sensed some fluctuation in his Dan Tian Qi Sea, quickly focusing more intently.

He knew the absorbed spiritual energy was slowly converting into inner strength!

Holding his breath and concentrating, he engaged in intense spiritual respiration and exhalation. After about a quarter of an hour, Qin Tian felt the internal turbulence gradually calming down.

Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes, exhaling deeply.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the two Spirit Grass in front of him. As expected, as described in the book, the glow of the Spirit Grass had dimmed significantly.

Most importantly, more than ninety percent of the previously circulating spiritual energy was now gone!

This was due to Qin Tian's cultivation and absorption.

However, this did not mean Qin Tian had absorbed more than ninety percent of the energy.

In fact, with his current ability, he had only refined a thousandth of the spiritual energy.

From the thirty to forty minutes of cultivation, Qin Tian only felt a slight fullness in his Dan Tian Qi Sea, with no significant changes.

But that was enough, considering it was only forty minutes. If he practiced daily, he believed he could master the 'Gathering Spirit Technique' in less than a month!

However, he couldn't practice every day.

According to the book, Qin Tian had consumed all the spiritual energy these two Spirit Grass had released over the past six months.

These two Spirit Grass would need time to recover, taking perhaps six months to return to their former abundant energy state.

Qin Tian couldn't afford to wait more than six months.

He searched around some more, but unfortunately, didn't find any other Spirit Grass.

Spirit Grass growth is extremely picky about its environment and couldn't be transplanted at all.

Therefore, Qin Tian could only note their location, planning to return for cultivation in half a year.

"Well, at least I've proven to myself that I can absorb and refine spiritual energy."

On the way down the mountain, Qin Tian was still very excited in his heart.

As soon as he returned to the car, Qin Tian saw an incoming phone call. It was from Murong Bei!

Murong Bei was actually calling him?!!!
