Chapter 48: Cultivation Aptitude, Water and Wood Dual Spirit Roots!

Not long after, Yu Yang felt a numbing sensation on the spot where the Jade Marrow Dew was applied.

“Master, I can feel a warm current flowing through the meridians in my arms. I can feel the strength in my hands!”

“I’m no longer a cripple who can’t lift a hand or chop firewood!”

Yu Yang’s eyes shone brightly as he said excitedly.

“Junior brother, thank you so much! To be honest, I don’t even know how to thank you!”

Yu Yang turned his head to look at Victor, his eyes filled with tears.

He had just crushed his meridians, but he did not make a sound.

When he saw that there was hope to treat the meridians in his arms, coupled with his gratitude towards Victor, he unconsciously shed tears.

“Senior Brother Yu, we are all from the same sect, why do you have to be so courteous? Rest assured and heal, don’t think too much!” Victor said with a smile.

Yu Yang felt a warmth in his heart, and his eyes could not help but become moist again.

“As long as it works.”

Zhang Lingren smiled and said, “However, no matter how magical the Jade Marrow Dew is, it will still take a long time to heal your meridians. Be patient!”

“Master, I know!”

Yu Yang nodded.

Seeing that Senior Brother Yu’s matter had been settled, Victor’s gaze towards Zhang Lingren suddenly became fiery.

“System, open my master’s attribute panel.”

He wanted to see what kind of spiritual root Zhang Lingren had.

Name: Zhang Lingren

Cultivation method: Qingyun Mantra, Qingyun sword technique, Seven Stars Sword technique, Qingyun Mystic Wood technique, Eight Extreme Palms, Gale Palms…

Cultivation Talent: Earth-grade beginner stage

Swordsmanship talent: Xuan-grade beginner stage

Enlightenment talent: Earth-grade advanced stage

Spiritual root: Water and wood

Cultivation Realm: ? ? ?

“Water and wood spiritual roots?”

Looking at Zhang Lingren’s attribute panel, Victor’s eyes lit up.

“System, can you tell me about spiritual roots and how they are classified?”

“Ding! Spiritual roots, just like what the host imagined.

“With a spiritual root, one has the qualification to cultivate immortality.

“Host, you can consider it as a talent for cultivating immortality…”

Under the detailed introduction of the system, Victor quickly understood what a spiritual root was.

The so-called spiritual root was a cultivator’s natural connection for certain attributes of heaven and earth.

Spirit roots were divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, space, time, and other elements.

Most people didn’t have spirit roots.

In other words, most people didn’t even have the qualifications to cultivate.

Those who had spirit roots were also different.

They were generally divided into heavenly spirit roots, true spirit roots, and mixed spirit roots

Heavenly spirit roots only had one type of single spirit root. They had abundant spiritual qualities, and their cultivation speed was several times faster than ordinary spirit roots!

True spirit root had two or three types of spirit roots. Each type of spirit root had plenty of qualities, and its cultivation speed was faster.

Mixed spirit roots had four or five types of spirit roots. They are varied, but not abundant. The spiritual quality of each type of spirit root was incomplete, and their cultivation speed was very slow.

For example, Zhang Lingren only had two types of spirit roots, water and wood, which were also known as True spirit roots.

They were spirit roots that belonged to the upper middle class.

As for whether the heavenly spiritual root was the ceiling of the spiritual root level, the system did not mention it.

However, Victor guessed that there should be more.

As for what it was, if he encountered it in the future, he would definitely know.

Right now, he was more concerned about one question, which was whether he could absorb only one spiritual root after downloading it.

What he cultivated was a top-grade wood element cultivation method, and he could even generate fire.

“If I absorbed the water spirit root, wouldn’t it greatly suppress my firepower?

“It would be best if I only absorbed one type of wood spirit root. It would be a perfect match for my wood building technique!

“Moreover, even if I didn’t use the water spirit root, I could still paste it for my own people. It wouldn’t be a waste.”

“System, if I want to download my master’s dual-attribute true spirit root, water and wood spirit root, how long would it take?”

Compared to his martial arts talent, his spirit root was more advanced. Victor would not simply think that downloading a spirit root and cultivating talent required the same amount of time.

Although he also wanted the time to be the same, his reasoning told him that it was impossible.

“Ding! It will take about two years!”

“Uh…” Victor was stunned. He wondered if he had heard wrong.

“Two years?”

When the system confirmed it again, Victor was completely stunned.

He knew that the time would be much longer than downloading the cultivation talent, but..

Wasn’t this too long?

Thinking about it again, Victor slowly understood.

There are reasons as to why it takes so long to download the dual-attribute true spirit root, water and wood spirit roots.

Firstly, the spirit root was indeed more advanced than the cultivation talent.

Secondly, he did not have a spirit root at all. From nothing, it was equivalent to breaking through from zero to one.

Of course, there was definitely a difference in strength and realm, but relatively speaking, the impact was relatively small.

There was one thing that Victor was very glad about.

Zhang Lingren spent almost all his time in closed-door cultivation, which gave him a very favorable download condition.

“System, download the dual-attribute true spirit root now, water and wood spirit root!”

He had spent three to four months on this trip. Wasn’t he rushing back just for this spirit root?

The only thing he needed to do was to move his closed-door cultivation location to Zhang Lingren’s courtyard.

“Victor, come…”

At this moment, Zhang Lingren walked over and pulled Victor over. Then, Zhang Lingren chatted with Victor about the gains he had gained from his closed-door cultivation for the past half year.

What surprised Victor was that the hypothesis he had raised with Zhang Lingren previously about the cultivation method that could devour the true qi in another person’s body had actually made some progress.

Looking at the silver-haired old man in front of him, he was now as excited as a scientist who had developed a new invention.

Victor was inexplicably shocked and moved!

From Zhang Lingren’s words, he learned that in order to develop a cultivation method similar to the Asura technique, he had almost lost his life.

Once, as he wanted to try to reverse his true qi, his meridians were messed up, and in the end, his core was almost damaged.

Zhang Lingren was indeed a master in the cultivation world. Even in such a crisis, he was still calm enough to completely control the true qi in his body.

“Victor, you won’t be going down the mountain for a while, right?”

Victor nodded. “Yes, I plan to go into seclusion for a period of time. At the very least, I want to break through to the advanced stage of the Xiantian Realm.”

Zhang Lingren nodded slightly. He stroked his beard with his right hand and said with a smile, “I happen to be going into seclusion. Victor, why don’t you come with me?”

Zhang Lingren invited Victor.

Although Zhang Lingren had accepted him as a disciple, their interaction felt as if they were grandfather and grandson.

Victor was unsure if it was his own misconception.

Zhang Lingren was always so kind, and would always follow his advice on everything.

For example, he would now invite him to go into seclusion with him.

Zhang Lingren didn’t say, “Victor, come with me and go into seclusion with me.”.

Instead, he asked for Victor’s opinion first.

“Okay!”

Victor nodded and agreed.

Even if Zhang Lingren didn’t mention it, he would still bring it up.

Next, Zhang Lingren and Victor instructed Yu Yang.

Especially on the things to be careful of when using the Jade Marrow Dew.

Then, Zhang Lingren and Victor went into seclusion together.
