MTLNOVEL Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The First Cultivation Breakthrough
Tang Xuan took a deep breath and began his first experiment.
1. Photosynthesis-Based Energy Absorption
Everyone in this world absorbed spirit energy through meditation, but their method was inefficient.
Blue Silver Grass was a plant-type spirit, meaning it could theoretically perform photosynthesis. If so, why not absorb sunlight as an energy source?
He stretched his vines toward the window, allowing the morning sun to bathe them in light.
Immediately, he felt a warmth spread through his body, different from normal spirit energy absorption.
It works!
This meant he had two sources of energy now—sunlight and natural spirit energy. While others relied on one path, he had diversified his cultivation.

2. Root-Based Spirit Energy Circulation
Most Spirit Masters only absorbed energy through breathing, cycling it through their meridians.
But plants? They absorbed energy through their roots.
Tang Xuan let his Blue Silver Grass vines extend into the ground, mimicking how trees absorbed nutrients.
Slowly, he directed spirit energy from the soil into his meridians, refining it twice as efficiently.

3. Internal Martial Spirit Strengthening
A major flaw of this world's cultivation was treating martial spirits as static.
They relied on spirit rings for improvement, but what if he strengthened his martial spirit internally?
Using his world's biological knowledge, he theorized:
If muscle training strengthens the body, why can't targeted spirit energy improve the structure of Blue Silver Grass?
By slowly infusing energy into the plant's cells, could he make it denser, stronger, and more resistant?
Focusing inward, Tang Xuan channeled energy directly into his vines, using a precise circular circulation method to compress the energy layer by layer.
The results?
His Blue Silver Grass, once thin and fragile, became denser and tougher, glowing faintly with spirit power.
Martial Spirit Evolution—through self-modification.
