70 Illusory Spirit Conjuration

  The spiritual awakening of the Aoki Yōtō seed is extremely weak, under the mental intention of Chǔ Xiāo, it's like a faint glow, weak and unable to withstand the wind, as if it were a newly born life in this world, everything is blank, simple and pure, with only the most primitive instincts, such as taking root and sprouting, which will slowly recover over time, so that the entire seed can thoroughly operate like a machine.

  Now Chu Xiao needs to guide the spiritual nature of Qingmu Yao Teng, advance, accelerate and catalyze its effective operation.

  Spiritual communication guidance is also a specific means.

  The spiritual master calls this method "Fantasy Spirit Visualization Technique".

  Through spiritual intention, visualize some scenes that have a strong shaping and catalyzing effect on spirituality, this is the spiritual level of fantasy visualization technique.

  Chu Xiao's heavy and specific visualization of the scene transformed, imbuing the spiritual nature of the Qingmu Yao Teng seed with excellent results. The spiritual nature of the Qingmu Yao Teng seed suddenly became lively, and its innate vitality quickly ran rampant. Chu Xiao could even sense that the Qingmu Yao Teng seed was rapidly absorbing micro-spirit elements and spirit energy, causing the seed to begin sprouting roots and buds.

  In just a few short minutes, a tender bud emerged from the soil, lush and vibrant, with a weak but vigorous life force emanating from it.

  As the seed sprouts, its spirituality is further strengthened, and its vitality becomes even more intense. Most importantly, Chu Xiao constantly transmits a simple message to the spiritual energy of the Wood Qing Yao Teng during his use of the Phantom Spirit Observation Technique - growth.

  Under the catalysis of growth information, the spirituality of Qingmu Yaoteng gradually grew stronger, having a decisive impact on the entire growth rate of Qingmu Yaoteng. This almost formed a benign cycle, resulting in the present magnificent scene where the tender buds of Qingmu Yaoteng rapidly grew at a visible speed to the naked eye.

  Originally just a sesame seed-sized tender bud, in less than ten minutes, it had already grown to over three inches tall.

  At the same time, on that crystal screen, the detection array also revealed the seed information of Qingmu Yao Teng.

  The fastest growth rate is still Chu Xiao's, and the second place is Lin He Ping, who is only slightly worse than Chu Xiao, and even has a momentum to catch up.

  There are also many Qingmu You Teng seeds of spiritual planters that have taken root and sprouted, but compared to Chu Xiao and Lin He Ping, they are far behind. Some spiritual planters' seeds are still in the process of spiritual awakening and have not yet begun to take root and sprout.

  At this moment, the gap was further widened, and the difference in strength between the spiritual plant masters was revealed.

  Chu Xiao and Lin He Ping were in the first group, while several ninth-grade spiritual plant masters and a few excellent eighth-grade spiritual plant masters were in the second group. The others that had already sprouted but grew slowly became the third level, and the remaining ones that hadn't even started to sprout became the worst part.

  The numerous guests on the platform were amazed and discussed who would win the championship in the end.

  "Both Chu Xiao and Lin He Ping are possible, but it depends on their follow-up endurance. Although Chu Xiao's Qingmu Yao Teng has a higher activation rate, so its initial growth rate is faster than Lin He Ping's, this will test their subsequent endurance."

  "Not bad, Chu Xiao's biggest weakness is indeed his poor cultivation, which leads to a weak spiritual intention. This has a significant flaw in spiritual communication, especially when using the Phantom Illusion Technique, which consumes even more spiritual intention. Lin He Ping should be at the Divine Transformation stage of cultivation, with his spiritual intention transformed into divine awareness, giving him an overwhelming advantage in spiritual communication. Moreover, as a disciple of the Village Elder, he must possess extremely advanced Phantom Illusion Techniques and will definitely catch up to Chu Xiao later on."

  "You see, now Lin and Ping's Qingmu Yao Teng growth rate is steadily increasing, with a significant increase. At first, there was still a gap of 1.38 inches, but now it has narrowed to 1.29 inches."

  "Not bad, but Chu Xiao's growth rate is quite stable, let's see if he can keep it up later."

  "Yes, he is leading Lin Ping by more than 2% in seed activation, as long as the growth rate gap does not exceed 2%, Chu Xiao still has a chance to win."

  "There's another issue, which is how long the two can maintain a state of mind without distractions. Lin Ping is a master with innate talent, so it shouldn't be too short. Now it depends on Chu Xiao, especially when using the Phantom Illusion Technique, as excessive mental exhaustion will also affect the state of mind without distractions."

  "I reckon it won't be too bad, considering the last time's elixir refinement, a full 300 portions of Mind Nourishing Elixir, if one can't clear their mind of distractions, it's almost impossible to complete."

  "Heavens! Lin Ping's Qingmu Yao Teng is growing at an even faster rate, what's going on? Did he use some kind of special secret method or something?"

  "Yes, in such a short time, it has shortened the gap again, now less than 0.9 inches are left, and it is still narrowing further."

  "It's been less than 40 minutes, and there are still 20 minutes until the end of the game. Lin He Ping has already caught up with Chu Xiao."

  "It's true that Lin He Ping's Qingmu Yaoteng has grown to an extent that surpasses Chu Xiao, this is also too abnormal, no wonder he's a disciple of the Sect Master."

  "Chu Xiao's Qingmu Yao Teng growth rate is very stable, with almost no big fluctuations. However, Lin He Ping's is getting faster and faster, it seems that Lin He Ping's chances of winning are getting bigger and bigger."

  "Yes, if it continues at this growth rate, Chu Xiao is bound to lose, unless he can speed up the growth rate of Qingmu Yao Teng."

  "You see, Lin He Ping's Qingmu Yao Teng growth rate has stabilized, it seems to have reached its limit, but compared to Chu Xiao, it's still much faster."

  .......．

  So far, Chu Xiao and Lin He Ping's Qingmu You Teng has grown to a length of one or two meters. This terrible growth rate is almost abnormal, worthy of the name You Teng. Moreover, the Qingmu You Teng is still growing at a visible speed, like a spirit, with its long stems swaying back and forth, and the small, emerald-green leaves on top are slowly unfolding, emitting an eerie aura.

  Almost all the discussion focused on Chu Xiao and Lin He Ping, who won or lost, with great suspense.

  Deep down inside, many people in the audience actually still hoped that Chu Xiao would win, after all, Chu Xiao was a local, while Lin He Ping was an outsider.

  But judging from the current situation, Chu Xiao's chances of winning are slim.

  Chu Xiao found that the growth of Qingmu Yao Teng was very stable when he was communicating with it to catalyze its spiritual nature. It was quite difficult to further increase its growth rate, and Chu Xiao had already used all his fantasy observation techniques to the extreme. However, this resulted in a significant consumption of his mental energy, which was still manageable for him after reaching the spiritual control stage through the Xiantian system, allowing him to minimize the consumption to the greatest extent possible.

  Even so, the situation is still not optimistic.

  The growth rate of Qingmu Yaoteng must be increased again, after all, the opponent is not simple, with Lin He Ping's disciples like Zongshi.

  Suddenly, Chu Xiao thought of Muling Heart.

  The Heart of Wood can amplify the harmony of spiritual roots, making it easier to communicate with plant spirits, and even when exercising wood-based spells, the power will have a corresponding amplification effect.

  When casting the Phantom Illusion Technique, if there is an amplification of the Wooden Spirit's Heart, it will definitely enhance the effect of the Phantom Illusion Technique, increase one's affinity, and make it easier to communicate with the spiritual nature of the Qingmu Yao Teng.

  Wanting to do it, Chu Xiao had long understood the method of using the Wooden Spirit's Heart from the Cultivation System.

  This Mu Ling Heart and Fa Jue effect amplification are all active innate abilities, unlike the four passive innate abilities of Xing Xing Xin Yu, Xin Wu Za Nian, Yi Xin Er Yong, and Jing Shen Wei Kong in the Xiū Zhēn system, which must be actively used by him to take effect.

  Then, Chu Xiao hastily activated a special mental technique. In an instant, a strange glow suddenly appeared in his mind, emitting a vital energy that was close to nature and full of life. This was the Wood Spirit's Heart. Once activated, it could communicate with all plants between heaven and earth, engaging in wondrous exchanges.

  As the Wooden Spirit's Heart began to rotate, a strange fluctuation spread along the spiritual intention, and the spirit of the Qingmu Yao Teng seemed to receive this fluctuation, becoming extremely lively. Even its spirit rapidly surged, as if it had absorbed extremely precious nutrients.

  Chu Xiao was shocked beyond measure, never expecting that the Wooden Spirit's Heart would have such a powerful catalytic effect on the spiritual nature of the Spiritual Medicine.

  Almost instantly, Aokigahara's growth rate suddenly increased by nearly double.
