100. Chapter 97 – Upper Grade Spiritual Roots (First Shift)
Chapter 97 – Upper Grade Spiritual Root (First Shift)
“Buzz!”
Chen Fan’s mind vibrated.
It was as if the entire person had undergone a baptism.
In an instant, his sense of the aura of the heaven and earth, as well as all sorts of Laws and Mysteries, spiked by a hair’s breadth.
Previously, some difficult to understand and elusive Laws Arcana had now become clear, as if they were within reach.
“Upper grade spiritual root!”
Chen Fan opened his eyes.
This was not a numerical upgrade, but a qualitative one.
In the distance, the monkey with skin like tree bark was still sitting cross-legged under the ancient tree, unaware of his metamorphosis.
“It’s finally done!”
Chen Fan looked joyful.
Upgrading from a mid-grade five-star spiritual root to a top-grade one-star spiritual root meant that his future path to foundation building had become unobstructed.
Foundation Establishment stage Immortal Cultivators possessed a lifespan of two hundred years.
At that time, he could make two small wishes every day, two hundred years, able to many few wishes?
Of course, he was sure that it wouldn’t take two hundred years before he could definitely break through to the Jindan stage.
Thinking about this, Chen Fan saw that Wei Mingyuan had not yet returned, so he was here, comprehending one of the spells he had mastered.
Time passed little by little.
At a certain moment, Chen Fan’s mind suddenly flashed with an aura, recalling those vines like pythons that had surrounded him earlier.
Those python-like vines were agile and powerful, as if they had a life of their own.
“Wooden Vine Technique, using wood as the basis and vines as the form ……”
Chen Fan muttered.
His mind gradually immersed into it, entering a special state.
In this state, it was as if his perception was infinitely enlarged, blending with the surrounding Laws Arcana.
This was the Demon Wood Forest, and the Laws Arcana in this surroundings were filled with some strange and bizarre changes in the demonic and wood attributes everywhere.
Chen Fan’s consciousness sank into these Law Arcana, and a hint of enlightenment gradually appeared in his eyes.
“I understand, the essence of the Wooden Vine Technique is wood, but the form can change, it can be more agile and more demonic ……”
After an unknown period of time, Chen Fan’s mind moved and a spiritual qi converged, forming a thick and demonic twisted vine.
As soon as these vines appeared, it was as if they possessed life, and with his mind, in a constant twisting, they quickly extended over to the front, forming a constantly writhing prison of giant vines.
This was his fusion of the Wooden Vine Art, and the Wooden Prison Art.
“From now on, this technique will be called the Demonic Vine Technique!”
A trace of delight flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes.
This epiphany of the Demonic Vine Technique also made his mana, grow a little more.
“Not bad spell.”
At this moment, a figure landed in front of him with a sword, it was Wei Mingyuan who had finally rushed back.
He looked at Chen Fan with an emotional expression.
“I expected that you would most likely break through to the seventh level of qi cultivation in the near future, but the fact that you developed a new spell was something I did not expect.”
Generally, only Immortal Cultivators with upper-grade Spiritual Roots would be able to have an epiphany and metamorphose and sublimate their spells every few months.
For Immortal Cultivators with middle-grade spiritual roots, it would be considered good if they could have a flash of illumination once a year and figure out the beginnings of a spell.
And Chen Fan actually just broke through to the seventh level of qi cultivation, and hadn’t even completely left the Demon Wood Forest yet, and right here in his place, he completed the metamorphosis of a spell ……
Worthy of being a Growth Spirit Root.
Wei Mingyuan could only shake his head with emotion.
Such a talent, it was him who felt envious.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Wei Mingyuan seemed to have thought of something and asked Chen Fan, “How is your Spiritual Root Qualification, do you feel that it has improved?”
“Unsurprisingly, my Spiritual Root Qualification has probably already involved the Upper Grade One Star.” Chen Fan opened his mouth and said.
“Really?”
Wei Mingyuan’s eyes immediately lit up, “Come, you come over and take a measurement!”
As he spoke, he took out a Spirit Measuring Pillar.
This Spirit Measuring Pillar was the same one that Xu Shida had brought with him last time.
After Xu Shida left, Wei Mingyuan kept this Spirit Measuring Pillar.
A hint of helplessness appeared on Chen Fan’s face.
However, he could only walk forward and place a hand on the Spirit Measuring Pillar.
“Boom!”
In the next second, five colors of light bloomed, and the scale on the Spirit Measuring Pillar began to soar.
“Upper grade one star!”
Instantly, Wei Mingyuan’s gaze froze.
Before this, only two of the Qi Practicing Stage disciples of Cangwu Mountain possessed Upper Grade Spiritual Roots.
But from now on, it was going to become three.
Moreover, Chen Fan’s spiritual root might not necessarily reach the upper grade, which was its limit.
“Chen Fan.”
Suddenly, Wei Mingyuan looked at Chen Fan and inquired, “You have broken through to the seventh level of qi cultivation this time, can you prepare to go to the Foundation Building Mound Domain?”
“Indeed, I intend to make a trip.”
Chen Fan calmly said, “However, I have just broken through, so I am prepared to stay in the sect for another three months to stabilize my cultivation before heading there.”
The Heaven and Earth Evil Tide was coming, and before that, he had to raise his cultivation as soon as possible.
Previously, he didn’t go to the Foundation Building Mound Domain because his own strength was insufficient.
But as he advanced to the seventh level of Qi cultivation and possessed a certain level of self-protection, he no longer intended to settle down like before.
“Good, then I will go inform the Sect Leader now.” Wei Mingyuan spoke.
If it was someone else who wanted to go to the Foundation Establishment Mound Domain, naturally, there was no need to notify Xu Zhouji, but not Chen Fan.
“Whoosh!”
After saying this, he explained a few words with Chen Fan and flew towards the Cangwu Mountain Sect Master’s Hall with his sword.
……
Cangwu Mountain’s main peak.
The Sect Master’s Great Hall.
“Jiang Xuexian is going to the Foundation Building Mound Domain?”
Xu Zhouji sat in the Sect Master’s seat, deep in thought. “Now that there are still two years until the Foundation Building Mound Domain closes, it’s about time for her to go for a fight!”
Previously, he had not allowed Jiang Xuexian to go to the Foundation Mound Domain because it was too dangerous, especially since Jiang Xuexian’s cultivation level had only just reached the fifth level of Qi Practicing when the Foundation Mound Domain first opened.
But now, with Jiang Xuexian advancing to the seventh level of Qi cultivation, it was possible to go to the Foundation Building Mound Domain.
“However, she has only just made a breakthrough, so you should first let her consolidate her cultivation and practice a few more life-preserving spells, and then send her forward after three months.”
“That’s how it should be.”
Elder Wanchuanhe nodded.
She then spoke out and inquired, “By the way, Senior Sect Leader, I wonder if Chen Fan of the Demon Wood Forest is permitted to travel to the Foundation Building Mound Domain this time?”
“I’ll ask Senior Wei to mention it, depending on his own wishes.”
Xu Zhouji spoke.
Chen Fan was a Dharma body cultivator, especially since Chen Fan’s body cultivation had reached the seventh level of body refining.
In this situation, Chen Fan was already qualified to travel to the Foundation Building Mound Domain.
“Senior Sect Master, Chen Fan has also broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining!”
And right at this moment, a figure, stepped into the Sect Master Hall.
It was none other than Wei Mingyuan.
“Oh?”
Xu Zhouji’s expression was delighted at his words.
“And not only that, when Chen Fan made his breakthrough this time, his spirit root qualification, also grew to the upper grade one star along with it.”
“Good! Good! Good!”
When these words came out, even Xu Zhouji couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise.
Compared to Chen Fan’s breakthrough to the seventh level of qi cultivation, he was obviously more concerned about Chen Fan’s spirit root qualification improvement.
Elder Wan Chuanhe, who was on the side, also looked stunned.
“You, Demon Wood Forest, have really picked up a great bargain this time.”
She spoke with emotion.
“Haha.”
Wei Mingyuan smiled smugly.
“As for the Foundation Building Mound Domain ……”
After laughing, Wei Mingyuan then spoke, “Chen Fan is prepared to consolidate his cultivation in the sect for three months first, and wait for three months before traveling.”
“Good, then after three months, let Jiang Xuexian and Chen Fan set off together!”
“Also make another announcement to see if there are any other disciples who want to go to the Foundation Establishment Mound Domain, if there are, they will all come together three months later.”
“At the same time, you can also recruit another batch of loose cultivators and send them together at that time.”
Xu Zhouji made a decision.
……
“A top-grade one-star spiritual root is already enough for me.”
“With my current Spiritual Root qualification, in three years at most, I will be able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and start working on advancing to Foundation Establishment.”
“And that’s even if I don’t use my Little Wish.”
“So next, it’s no longer very meaningful for me to continue raising my spirit root qualification.”
Under the huge ancient tree, Chen Fan mused in his heart.
The higher the Spiritual Root quality, the better it would naturally be.
But with his current situation, I’m afraid that it would take a few years before he could raise his top grade one star spiritual root, to top grade two stars.
With these few years, he might as well use his Small Wish to allow himself to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible.
After he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would be able to make two wishes every day.
And the ability of each wish would also increase.
At that time, he would be able to single out one wish to improve his spirit root qualification, and then use the other wish to do something else.
That was his best option in the current situation.
“It’s decided!”
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
……
“You’re going to use the Heart of Demon Wood?”
After Wei Mingyuan returned, he heard Chen Fan’s request.
He nodded and said, “That’s good, otherwise it’s a waste to keep so many of your points.”
The Heart of Demon Wood was the core treasure of the Demon Wood Forest, and it was necessary to stimulate the Demon Wood Grand Formation in order to present the arcane mysteries of the Heart of Demon Wood.
Cultivating in front of the Heart of Demon Wood would make it easier for the Immortal Cultivator to comprehend all kinds of wood-attribute law arcana.
However, in order to comprehend the Heart of Demon Wood, one must pay three thousand points, and these three thousand points would only allow them to comprehend for one day.
“Not just the Heart of Demon Wood, I also want to observe the Red Flame Earth Heart Flame, enter the Heavy Xuan Space, comprehend the Ancient Sword Tablet, and use the Essence of Ten Thousand Rivers.”
Chen Fan opened his mouth.
“You want them all?”
The corner of Wei Mingyuan’s mouth twitched.
The Earth’s Heart Red Flame Fire, a foreign fire mastered by the Red Flame Peak, was different from the Heart of Demon Wood.
Heavy Xuan Space, a treasure of Heavy Xuan Mountain, had an excellent effect on comprehending gravity-related earth attribute spells.
The Ancient Sword Tablet was an exotic treasure that Gu Jian Yuan had brought back from a blessed place.
And for each of these treasures, if one wanted to use them, they needed to be inspired through a great formation.
As for the Wanchuan Essence, it is the essence of the Wanchuan River, which only produces a very small amount every year.
And if Chen Fan wanted to use them, he would have to pay double points for all of them.
After all, Chen Fan was a disciple who walked out from the Demon Wood Forest.
“Alright, you have a lot of points anyway, I’ll go apply for you later!”
Wei Mingyuan agreed.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Chen Fan’s face.
He had saved up his points for such a long time with the purpose of using these treasures.
Previously, he didn’t use them because his Spiritual Root Qualification was too low, and even if he spent the points on enlightenment, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to enlighten too many things.
But now it was different.
