Chapter 044 A Rich Harvest

In addition to these topics, the topic about speculation about spiritual roots was brought up again, and many people were enthusiastically discussing various things about spiritual roots.

[Do you think the people who were left behind need to undergo spiritual root testing? 】

[Absolutely. Who knows if there will be any top-grade spiritual roots? If they are let go, the loss will be huge.]

[Fuck, I’m so jealous]

[I hope there will be a live broadcast. I really want to see what kind of spiritual roots they have washed out.]

[Live broadcast is probably impossible, as it involves personal privacy]

[I wonder if there are many rare and mutated spiritual roots besides the five common spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, such as ice, wind, and thunder]

[There should be, that's the dragon vein marrow cleansing]

[Although it is a mutant spiritual root, I personally don’t think it is much stronger than ordinary spiritual roots]

[I also think that it is just a rare attribute. If we really want to talk about strength, it should be the purity of the spiritual root. The best quality is definitely better than the inferior quality.]

[When the Thunder Spiritual Root faces demons and monsters, it should have a special attack, after all, it is thunder.]

[When you are going through the tribulation, you can also absorb the heavenly tribulation, purify your spiritual roots, and temper your own □□. From this perspective, the thunder spiritual root is very advantageous.]

[You've read too many novels, and you've absorbed the heavenly calamity. I'll chop you into pieces when the time comes]

...

Chu Yi and Juzi were watching with great interest, finding this interesting and that funniest at the next moment, running around in the hot topics, having a lot of fun.

The more they watched, the more excited they became, and they played like this all night long.

Looking at the time on the screen, Chu Yi and Juzi couldn't help but look at each other. It felt like they had only been looking at it for a while, so how come it was already 8 o'clock in the morning?

"Fortunately, I don't have a high demand for sleep." Chu Yi said half thankfully and half proudly. If she still needed enough sleep, she would have to go on strike today.

"Okay, Orange, let's go back to the virtual space. We have to start working."

"Okay~"

Orange disappeared in the room in a flash, and then the voice rang in Chu Yi's mind.

'What are you going to do today, Bell? '

'I need to go back and check on Hashihime's body. She supported herself with the vest all day yesterday. I wonder if there is anything wrong. Besides, Long Jun’s vest is not suitable for playing, and I don’t want to sit there with an air of arrogance all day long. '

Long Jun's vest can be ignored for the time being. This great god is too big, and the leaders of the flower-growing group dare not disturb him at will, and she dare not drag Long Jun to do other things at will. So she placed the Dragon King's vest and let him pretend to be an expert in the Taishan Hall to deceive the world.

The Dragon King's companion dragon also has its own intelligence, which is enough to handle some situations without her having to keep an eye on it all the time.

Juzi had no objection to Chu Yi's arrangement, and it would follow whatever she said.

After putting the Dragon King's vest in place and instructing him and the dragon on some precautions, Chu Yi rushed to Qiao Ji.

Putting on Qiao Ji's disguise again, Chu Yi took in yesterday's memories. After a quick tidying up, she found that nothing unexpected had happened and everything was as she had planned.

After organizing her memories, Hashihime opened her eyes and came out of her meditation state.

She silently sensed the situation of the Dragon Team members and found that except for Liu Jimeng who was still meditating, everyone had already gotten up and was busy with their own work.

So she tidied herself up and floated into the yard.

Duan Shi was sitting at the stone table in the middle of the yard, checking something. When he saw her appear, he asked with concern, "Senior, how do you feel now?"

Yesterday, the Dragon King and the God appeared in the world together and activated the power of the dragon veins. Although they were not targeting anyone in particular, their own attributes alone made Qiao Ji, the ghost cultivator, and Liu Jimeng, the half-demon, feel very uncomfortable.

They persisted until the end of the festival yesterday, and both of them were not in good condition, so the Dragon Team immediately took them back to the homestay at the foot of Mount Tai and let them meditate and adjust themselves.

So until now, Liu Jimeng is still meditating in her room. If it were any other day, she would have gotten up and exercised long ago.

“It has recovered.”

Duan Shi looked at Qiao Ji's expression and thought it was quite convincing, so he did not continue asking.

"Xiao Liu is expected to break through to the late stage of fusion this time. I saw she absorbed a lot of energy yesterday." Qiao Ji also sat down at the stone table and started chatting with Duan Shi.

"Can't break through to the Jindan stage?" Duan Shi was a little surprised. He thought that after absorbing so much energy from the dragon veins, he could at least break through to the Jindan stage.

Qiao Ji laughed, "It's not that simple. In the path of cultivation, each level of advancement is like sailing against the current. If you want to successfully advance, you can't just rely on the accumulation of spiritual energy."

Duan Shi was taught. He thought everything before the Nascent Soul stage was easy.

"Then according to Xiao Liu's current progress, how long will it take to break through from the late fusion stage to the golden elixir stage?" He asked humbly.

Now that they have the opportunity to practice, Duan Shi is very interested in the various precautions in practice and wants to understand everything clearly.

"It depends on one's understanding. Starting from the Golden Core stage, a cultivator's breakthrough depends on his understanding of the great path he pursues. If his understanding is good enough, then there will be no problem breaking through immediately."

Qiao Ji did not say how long it would last if the comprehension was poor, but Duan Shi was not a fool, so he naturally understood what the consequences would be if there was no comprehension.

Qiao Ji explained to them at the beginning the hardships and cruelty of the path of cultivation.

However, Duan Shi was not discouraged. No matter how difficult it was, he just had to work hard.

The two of them were silent for a while, and it was Qiao Ji who interrupted the silence.

"Any plans for today?"

"Oh, yes." Duan Shi said as he turned the information he had just viewed to Qiao Ji, which contained some task arrangements. "The chairman visited Lord Long last night and got the test stone for testing spiritual roots. Lord Long said that this requires spiritual energy to activate, so we need Senior and Xiao Liu to go to the square to help in the afternoon and test the spiritual roots of the audience."

Qiao Ji read the plan quickly and got a general understanding of the situation.

Of course she knew about the test stone, as she had handed it to the Chairman personally last night.

This stone was temporarily refined by her using the Dragon King's vest. There is no material on Blue Star now for refining such equipment, so they can only use the minerals in the Dragon King's territory as an emergency measure.

The Dragon Lord's domain is the background that comes with the suit. It is a mountain range that looks like a thousand-mile landscape of rivers and mountains. It contains all kinds of ancient resources, from minerals and magical herbs to exotic beasts and birds. Moreover, these resources will automatically regenerate after being taken away, so she has no regrets digging them.

However, due to various restrictions, this thing can only be activated by cultivators. To mortals, it is just an ordinary stone. Therefore, she and Liu Jimeng are indispensable for this testing activity.

"Okay, I got it." Despite so many thoughts running through her mind, Qiao Ji still accepted the arrangement calmly.

"Then wait until Xiao Liu wakes up. We can set off to the square in a little while. Right now the logistics staff are renovating the square and installing some testing equipment. It will probably take until noon to complete the setup."

After talking about work, the two sat beside the stone table and did their own things. Duan Shi continued to work on his various task reports, while Qiao Ji opened the virtual screen and browsed the social platform.

Usually, after Qiao Ji finished a period of training, she would quietly browse around various platforms, and Duan Shi and the others had long been accustomed to it.

About an hour passed like this, and Liu Jimeng finally finished the treatment.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, exhaled the turbid air from her dantian, and then smiled with joy.

This festival was truly a huge gain for her. After absorbing the energy from those dragon veins, she unexpectedly broke through to the late stage of fusion in one fell swoop. You have to know how long it took her to break through from the enlightenment stage to the fusion stage. Even the ancient monsters with outstanding bloodlines in her memory did not have such a fast speed.

Although it was a pity that she couldn't reach the Jindan stage in one go, she was very satisfied with this result.

In fact, she had already recovered, and the reason she continued to meditate was to try to achieve the golden elixir.

Of course it turned out that she was just wishful thinking. The barrier of the golden elixir was so stubborn that it didn't move at all when she crashed into it. She tried hard for a long time and exhausted all the spiritual power in her body, but she still couldn't shake the barrier at all.

Finally, I could only recover my spiritual power and come out of meditation.

It seems that her understanding is still not enough. She needs to work harder.

Liu Jimeng got up from the bed and casually performed a small spell to cleanse his body, which was considered as taking care of himself.

When she first started practicing, she insisted on using water to clean her body. Later, when she got used to using the magic formula, she gradually stopped washing every day. After one cleansing technique, her body was cleaner than anything else.

When she opened the door, she saw Duan Shi and Qiao Ji sitting in the yard, both of them quietly doing their own things.

"Senior, Team Duan, good morning." She greeted them and walked over to sit at the stone table.

"It's getting late, it's almost noon, and you don't even know how to come out early to bask in the sun." Duan Shi raised his head from the endless reports and joked with her with a smile.

"Good morning." Qiao Ji still treated her the same way and replied gently.

After getting two completely different answers, Liu Jimeng couldn't help but give Qiao Ji a bright smile, then rolled his eyes at Duan Shi, disliking his teasing.

"Where are Liang Hang and Teacher Fang?"

Liu Jimeng asked about the other members of the Dragon Group. She and Qiao Ji needed to recuperate, but the others didn't need to. It was impossible that they hadn't gotten up yet.

But there was no one in the yard. What were they doing?

"I went to the square to help." Duan Shi took the cold tea on the table, poured a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

After a busy morning, he had little time to drink water.

Liu Jimeng reached out to feel the temperature of the teapot and couldn't help but look at Duan Shi with a reproachful look. This person didn’t even bother to heat up the tea even though it was cold. If you’re too lazy to run, you can tell her.

Facing the look she gave him, Duan Shi just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing his silly smile, Liu Jimeng lost her temper. She waved her hand unhappily, and the cold tea in the teapot was heated up. It's just a spell that is so small that the consumption of spiritual energy can be ignored.

"......"

Chu Yi watched the two people interacting from the side and felt that it was a mistake for him to sit here today. Her teeth are about to fall out because of the sourness.

She suddenly spoke, interrupting the two people's exchange of glances: "Liang Hang and his team have gone to the square to help the Research Department install testing equipment. You and I will also go there later. We need to be responsible for testing the spiritual roots of the audience."

Liu Jimeng's attention was immediately diverted. "Testing spiritual roots? Me and the senior? How do we test it?"

Seeing Qiao Ji bring up business, Duan Shi also returned to work. He took over the conversation: "The test stone that the chairman got from Long Jun last night needs to be driven by a cultivator, so we need you and the senior to help."

"Oh, that's fine. Shall we go there now?" When Liu Jimeng heard that it was this assignment, he became a little impatient.

Although her spiritual roots did not need to be tested, as they were definitely wood spiritual roots, she was extremely interested in other people's spiritual roots. Especially the Duanshi ones.

Duan Shi was surprised by her excitement, "The campsite hasn't been installed yet. It will probably be finished by noon."

Tsk, why doesn’t this person understand? Liu Jimeng was speechless.

"But the test stone can be used, right? Don't you want to know what your spiritual roots are? My section. Team. Leader."

"Ahem." Duan Shi felt a little embarrassed after she called him that. He coughed pretentiously and said, "Okay, shall we set off now?"

"Juzi, I don't want to see the two of them anymore." Chu Yi sighed in his heart again.

'Why? Why? Don't you want to see them fall in love? Sweet love~'

'No, it's not sweet at all, I think it's very sour. Chu Yi had a cold face. This little elf Orange didn't know anything at all.

Walking between the two people, she felt like the sun, so bright that it was dazzling.

Fortunately, the homestay they stayed in was very close to the square and only took a few minutes to walk. After a while, they could see countless people busying around like worker ants.

Duan Shi took Qiao Ji and Liu Jimeng through layers of inspection and entered the center of the square.

They were familiar with the people here. Liang Hang, Meng Zhengqi, Yu Gaoyuan and other field staff all rolled up their sleeves to help, while Fang Xiuwen and several other experts from the research institute were directing the actions of others on the side.
