As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight began to appear, soft light was just beginning to spread across the horizon, but Liu Feng had already finished his morning run.
He stood by the patch of blue-silver grass in the yard, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat that shimmered in the morning light.
A gentle breeze stirred, and the leaves of the blue silver grass swayed softly, as if greeting him.
Liu Feng stared intently at the Blue Silver Grass, murmuring softly, “Just as I expected, the Blue Silver Grass exhibits the strongest soul power fluctuations under the morning light.”
It took Liu Feng a whole year to reach this conclusion.
After awakening his martial soul, he began to explore the Blue Silver Grass in depth.
His martial soul Blue Silver Grass was no different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass, so he decided to systematically study the characteristics of this plant.
In his view, only by thoroughly understanding Blue Silver Grass can its potential be fully unleashed.
Liu Feng remembered his father, Liu Qing, saying that Blue Silver Grass was regarded as a “useless martial soul” by outsiders, but he never agreed with that.
His heart was filled with longing, a longing to make his Blue Silver Grass stronger, a longing to prove to others that Blue Silver Grass was by no means a “useless martial soul”.
With this belief in mind, he first looked through the books recorded by his grandfather and father.
These books record some basic characteristics of Blue Silver Grass, such as its lack of toughness, strong vitality, good reproductive ability, and ability to survive tenaciously in various harsh environments.
But this knowledge was far from enough for Liu Feng; he urgently needed a deeper understanding.
In his previous life, Liu Feng received a complete education and possessed some knowledge of botany.
He understood that studying a plant could not rely solely on traditional experience; it also required the use of scientific methods for systematic observation and recording.
So he found some simple tools such as a shovel, ruler, paper and pen, and every morning he would come to the blue and silver grass in the yard to observe it.
He meticulously recorded the growth rate, leaf shape, color changes, and soul power fluctuations of the Blue Silver Grass at different times.
After a long period of observation, he discovered that the soul power fluctuations of the Blue Silver Grass were most active under the morning sunlight.
This activity wasn’t visible to the naked eye, but rather he sensed it through a subtle feeling using his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
Every morning when the first rays of sunlight fall on the Blue Silver Grass, Liu Feng can feel a warm power emanating from it, as if it is resonating with his soul power.
As time went on, Liu Feng accumulated more and more data.
He compiled this data into tables and carefully analyzed the patterns within them.
He discovered that the growth rate of blue silver grass is fastest in the early morning and evening, and relatively slows down at noon and night.
This reminded him of photosynthesis in plants, and perhaps the soul power fluctuations of the Blue Silver Grass were related to the intensity of light. The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
To verify this hypothesis, Liu Feng conducted a small experiment.
He placed some of the blue silver grass in a sunny spot and the rest in a shady place.
After several days of observation, he found that the Blue Silver Grass in sunny locations was indeed growing better, and its soul power fluctuations were more active.
This result convinced him that light has a significant impact on the soul power of Blue Silver Grass.
However, Liu Feng knew that simply understanding the characteristics of Blue Silver Grass was not enough; he also needed to apply this knowledge to actual cultivation.
He began to try to cultivate his soul power in the early morning and evening, taking advantage of the time when the soul power fluctuations of the Blue Silver Grass were most active to improve his soul power.
Following the intermediate meditation method taught by his father, he infused his soul power into the Blue Silver Grass, feeling the soul power of the Blue Silver Grass merge with his own.
He discovered that this fusion was smoother in the early morning and evening, and the increase in soul power was more significant.
As the days went by, Liu Feng’s soul power gradually increased, and his Blue Silver Grass martial soul became more and more agile.
After awakening his martial soul, Liu Feng began to try some simple operations, such as selecting stronger plants from ordinary wild blue silver grass for propagation.
Following the habits of common blue silver grass, he built a small greenhouse in the corner of the courtyard and planted it with blue silver grass.
He regularly waters and fertilizes the plants, and adjusts the greenhouse’s shading system according to the light intensity, allowing the blue silver grass to grow more and more luxuriantly.
During the cultivation process, he would input his soul power into the Blue Silver Grass every day, allowing it to merge with the Blue Silver Grass’s soul power, and then he would withdraw his soul power back into his body.
Through repeated selection and planting, stronger and more vigorous blue silver grass was cultivated.
After selecting high-quality blue silver grass, Liu Feng began to cultivate it systematically around his home.
After filling his house with plants, he planted them along the streets of the village; once the village was full, he planned to plant them in the surrounding mountains, fields, and forests.
A year has passed, and Liu Feng has only had time to plant the selected blue silver grass in his yard and along the streets of the village.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to expand the planting area, but two reasons limited him.
Firstly, there isn’t enough time.
In addition, he also had to record the growth of each Blue Silver Grass.
If he planted more Blue Silver Grass, it would take up his cultivation time, which would be a loss.
Secondly, wild blue silver grass naturally grows in fields, forests, and back mountains.
Although these wild blue silver grasses are not as concentrated as those cultivated, and do not grow as well as domesticated ones, blue silver grasses are still wild grasses and can be found everywhere.
After a year of selection and cultivation, the yard is now full of thriving blue silver grass.
Nurtured by Liu Feng’s soul power, he could faintly sense these Blue Silver Grasses whenever he was in the courtyard.
Although the feeling was vague, Liu Feng guessed that if he continued to select and cultivate them, perhaps one day he would be able to “communicate” with the Blue Silver Grass he cultivated and perceive the outside world through them.
Before Liu Feng transmigrated, he had read many fan fiction novels, in which quite a few protagonists possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
Some protagonists connect Blue Silver Grass to the internet to build biological computers; some cultivate Blue Silver Grass with different attributes; and others change the source of Blue Silver Grass by absorbing corresponding soul rings.
Liu Feng’s current attempt is a basic exploration based on his own conditions.
At first, he wondered if his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, could “connect” with wild Blue Silver Grass, but after trying it, he realized that he had oversimplified the situation.
When the number of Blue Silver Grass was small, there was no noticeable effect; however, when the number increased, the soul power did become much more active.
But when trying to connect with wild Blue Silver Grass, it was discovered that relying solely on soul power was simply not feasible.
As for the fact that an increase in Blue Silver Grass would activate soul power, his father had mentioned “simulated cultivation environment” to him on the first day of explaining meditation.
My father specially planted many blue silver grasses around the village, on the back mountain, in the forest, along the fields of Liujia Village, and even around the entire Longxing Town.
Every day when my father went to town to sell medicinal herbs, he would carry a bag full of Blue Silver Grass seeds with him.
He would scatter them wherever he went, and if there was no Blue Silver Grass, he would scatter a handful there.
It was for these reasons, coupled with his father’s example, that Liu Feng sought another way.
With Liu Feng’s continued observation and adjustments, he set his meditation practice time to one hour each in the morning and evening.
In the light of dawn and dusk, his Blue Silver Grass grew ever more vibrant, and he himself made continuous progress in his cultivation.
He firmly believed that “nobles and kings are born with special privileges,” and that martial spirit cultivation is not about whose martial spirit is of a higher level.
Moreover, each martial spirit has its own unique potential, as the saying goes, “there are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters.”
