Chapter 20: Spiritual Root Transformation, Yuanying Realm Monk
The night sky is silent, with only the occasional cry of birds, and the mountains and forests are silent in the darkness.
Gu An meditated in the longevity barrier, admiring the moonlight.
The moon is so beautiful tonight, just like his mood.
His cultivation had already reached the fourth level of the Jindan realm, and he was getting closer and closer to the end.
He planned to keep spending money until he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, and then acquire another unique skill, because the Gale and Shadow Legs could no longer satisfy him.
How can a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage use his legs?
It has to be a sword!
Gu An decided to favor the Seven Swordsmen of the Li Family. Now that he had the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Realm, he also needed the attack methods of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Well, assuming that Cheng Xuandan's master is a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm! Gu An should overestimate his opponent as much as possible, so that the chance of defeat will decrease.
The cultivator who had fought before never came back after leaving, which made Gu An feel completely relieved.
He was already a Jindan realm cultivator, and he was able to walk sideways in the outer gate area. Even if someone suddenly broke in, they would not be able to withstand his kick! Jindan realm fifth level! With the improvement of cultivation, Gu An's consciousness also became stronger! Jindan realm and foundation building realm are completely different.
There is a huge difference in spiritual power and consciousness. Gu An's consciousness can now be condensed together to form a powerful impact force.
Only after reaching the Jindan stage did he feel like an immortal cultivator.
If the Jindan realm is so strong, how much stronger must the Yuanying realm be? Gu An couldn't wait to get his life back.
He was forced to wait, and only after his cultivation reached a breakthrough to the sixth level of the Jindan realm did he call up the attribute panel.
His eyes were involuntarily attracted to the spiritual roots.
He once tried to improve his spiritual roots, but failed, which left him with a psychological trauma. He was afraid that this was a bottomless pit, so he transferred his life span to other directions, and deduced that the exercises could also improve the qualifications of his spiritual roots.
Now that he was strong enough and had plenty of life left, it was time to try to improve his spiritual roots.
After a while, when Gu An's cultivation level stopped increasing, he directly invested two thousand years of life into his spiritual roots!
[You invest 2,000 years of your life into your spiritual roots to practice evolution]
[You have comprehended the nature of heaven and earth for a hundred years, and your five elements spiritual root perception has improved]
[You have comprehended the nature of heaven and earth for two hundred years, and your five elements spiritual root perception has improved]
…
[You have comprehended the nature of heaven and earth for a thousand years, and finally caught a glimpse of the true meaning of heaven and earth. Your spiritual roots have been baptized by heaven and earth, and the aptitude of the five elements of spiritual roots has begun to transform. Your five elements of spiritual roots have all transformed into second-rate mortal bodies, among which the wood spiritual root is more prominent.]
[You have comprehended the nature of heaven and earth for 1,200 years, and your five elements spiritual root perception has improved]
…
[You have comprehended the nature of heaven and earth for two thousand years, and finally caught a glimpse of the true meaning of heaven and earth. At the same time, you comprehended the rivers and streams of the earth. Your spiritual roots have been baptized by heaven and earth, and the aptitude of the five elements of spiritual roots has begun to transform. Your five elements of spiritual roots have all transformed into first-class mortal qualities, among which the wood spiritual roots and earth spiritual roots are more prominent.]
Lines of prompts popped up in front of Gu An one after another.
When he saw the first five lines of prompts, his heart began to bleed.
I was careless!
This thing is really a bottomless pit! Seeing that all five elements of spiritual roots had reached the first-class level in the end, he felt better, but he still felt distressed. After all, his previous understanding of the Divine Wood Pure Yang Skill had also allowed his wood spiritual roots to reach the first-class level.
You can't think like that! You should think that it took the Divine Tree Pure Yang Power a thousand years to make one spiritual root reach the first-class level. If you want all five spiritual roots to reach the first-class level, it will take at least five thousand years.
Then the question is, why doesn't he practice the other four attributes of skills?
As a person, you have to try to find the most perfect path.
When Gu An was summarizing himself, the spiritual energy of the earth surged again. This time it was not to improve his cultivation, but to temper his muscles and bones.
It hurts! Gu An felt an unprecedented pain, and he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
To divert his attention, he began to think about the property panel.
It seems that spiritual root aptitude is the most difficult to improve. It is normal to think about it. Spiritual root aptitude is equivalent to the maximum lifespan, and cultivation is the current lifespan. Breaking the limit is the most difficult.
Acquired efforts are never more difficult than breaking the destiny predestined by heaven.
This is why Taixuan Sect treats geniuses so well. Ji Xiaoyu, who has dual spiritual roots, is much more important to Taixuan Sect than a Jindan realm cultivator.
For ordinary people, the fewer spiritual roots one has, the higher one's aptitude. Assuming the total talent value represented by a person's spiritual roots is 100, then two spiritual roots can each be divided into 50. But if there are five spiritual roots, then the talent value of each spiritual root is only 20. Comprehensiveness sometimes represents mediocrity.
Gu An is different now. He has improved his spiritual root qualifications, which is equivalent to increasing the total talent value from one hundred.
It’s a pity that the attributes of spiritual roots cannot be used alone to improve cultivation. Now other spiritual roots are of little help to him in practicing the Shenmu Pure Yang Gong, so his cultivation speed has increased a little, but not much.
However, he noticed that the prefix of first-class qualifications in the prompt was mortal body.
There won’t be holy bodies or spiritual bodies, right?
Gu An was lost in thought. At the same time, the rate at which the lifespan barrier was consumed began to slow down. From the beginning of the breakthrough to now, one hundred and thirty-four years of lifespan had been consumed.
As his spiritual root qualifications continued to improve, Gu An clearly felt that the spiritual energy of various attributes became clearer, which also changed his perception of the entire world.
The pain is being replaced by novelty! For a long time.
Gu An's body no longer absorbed spiritual energy, and the spiritual roots in the attribute panel also changed to first-rate five-element spiritual roots. He did not stand up, but instead devoted two thousand years of his life to cultivation.
The failure of overcoming the tribulation left him with a shadow, so he decided to work hard to create a miracle. If he invested a thousand years of his life and was stuck at the ninth level of the Jindan realm, he would vomit blood.
It's really possible!
After failing to pass the tribulation, one has to waste fifty years before being able to make another attack. This is too real. In reality, if one fails to pass the tribulation, one will either die or be injured, and it does take time to recover.
Moreover, the tribulation in the Nascent Soul stage must be more difficult, and the number of failures will probably be more!
Start! [You have been practicing Qi for a hundred years, and your cultivation has reached the seventh level of the Jindan realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for two hundred years, and your cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Jindan realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for three hundred years, and your cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Jindan realm]
[You have been cultivating Qi for four hundred years. You used your great attainments in the Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique to forcibly impact the Nascent Soul Realm and began to transcend the tribulation. You did not survive the Three Mysterious Heavenly Tribulations and failed to transcend the tribulation.]
…
[You have been cultivating Qi for 1,500 years. You used your great accomplishments in the Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique to forcibly reach the Nascent Soul Realm and began to transcend the tribulation. You did not survive the Three Mysterious Heavenly Tribulations and failed to transcend the tribulation.]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 1,600 years. You have used your great attainments in the Divine Tree Pure Yang Technique to forcibly impact the Nascent Soul Realm and begin to transcend the tribulation. You have finally survived the Three Mysterious Heavenly Tribulations, and have successfully transcended the tribulation and advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 1,800 years, and your cultivation has reached the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm]
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
[You have been cultivating Qi for two thousand years, and your cultivation has reached the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm]
Damn! He actually failed twelve times! When Gu An saw that he failed six times, his heart sank to the bottom. When he failed ten times, his eyes went dark.
Fortunately, he finally succeeded in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Is it really that difficult to break through the Nascent Soul stage?
Gu An collapsed and thought about it, and he realized why the lifespan of evolutionary practice was greater than the actual consumption.
Evolutionary practice is equivalent to naked practice. Normal practice involves taking elixirs and using formations to gather spiritual energy. These two can also help one overcome tribulations, not to mention the miraculous effects of some rare treasures.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged in again, and the speed at which the lifespan barrier was consumed began to accelerate.
Gu An calmed down and began to enjoy the improvement of his cultivation.
…
The rising sun swept across the earth, and the Xuan Valley gradually became brighter. Gu An stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the autumn forest. His robe fluttered, and the sun shone on him. He seemed as if he would ascend to heaven at any time.
He has condensed his Nascent Soul and become a true Nascent Soul cultivator!
In order to praise himself, he improved his surface level by one level, reaching the fourth level of Qi training. He would move up one level every year thereafter, until he reached the ninth level, so that he would not be called up.
He couldn't help but call up his property panel again to check.
[Name: Gu An]
[Lifespan: 22/4502]
[Spiritual roots: First-class five-element spiritual roots (wood and earth attributes are more prominent) (can be used to cultivate lifespan evolution)]
[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage 3 (Can be used to cultivate lifespan evolution)]
[Kung Fu: Fire Control Technique (not yet mastered), Divine Tree Pure Yang Kung Fu (mastered), Dragon Power Divine Yuan Kung Fu (mastered), Alchemy (beginning of the art) (can be used to practice Life Evolution)]
[Secret Skills: Wild Wind Shadow Leg (mastered), Li Family Seven Swords (not yet mastered), Eight Direction Steps (not yet mastered) (can be used to practice Life Evolution)]
Gu An plans to spend more money on the Seven Swords of the Li Family, and then continue saving his lifespan until he reaches the 100,000 mark.
Now, he needs to rest for a few days to calm his excited heart.
With his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, he could definitely go to Taixuan Sect and receive a good position and treatment, but when he thought that Taixuan Sect would send him out to slay demons and fight against evil spirits, and there might even be internal strife, he calmed down these distracting thoughts.
Only by not forgetting the original intention can you achieve the right result! No one can help him, he will hide in Xuan Valley to the end! He can occasionally look for natural treasures, but he must never move his development focus away from Xuan Valley.
A higher status might increase his lifespan faster, but the risk factor would also be proportional. He had no enemies anyway, so why worry? Gu An turned around and walked down the mountain.
The Nascent Soul Stage is already capable of flying, but he did not do so. He chose to walk down the mountain.
When he arrived in the Medicine Valley, Xiaochuan and others came out one after another.
"Senior Brother, you're up the mountain so early?" Ye Lan greeted Gu An. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she inexplicably felt that Senior Brother looked even more handsome today.
Gu An smiled and said, "Go check on the seeds. You will lead them in practicing today."
Ye Lan nodded in agreement and wanted to ask more questions, but Gu An had already walked towards the attic.
Not far away, Wu Xin looked at Gu An's figure and thought to himself: "There must be a mystery in the forest! I will definitely find it!"
Gu An walked up the stairs and pushed the door open. As soon as he came in, he saw the Bai Ling Rat lying on the table. Its whole body was like a balloon, and the Cang Teng Fruit had disappeared.
Still breathing, not dead!
He immediately cast a life span probe at the white rat.
[White Spirit Rat (Level 1): 12/120/180]
Huh? The life span has increased by 70 years. The original life span of the white rat was only 50 years.
Is the medicinal effect of the Cang Teng fruit so strong? Gu An immediately walked to the wooden cabinet, took out a Cang Teng fruit, and started to eat it.
Thanks to Zhiqiu Dazizai for rewarding Gu An with 1,000 Qidian coins, making him the top brother of Gu An!
