Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

“However, due to the massive spirit Qi within the Water Spirit Essence, if a mortal were to use it, they would explode and die as a result.”

“Therefore, the Water Spirit Essence can only be used by cultivators and cannot be applied to mortals, making it impossible to mass-produce Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators.”

“The Water Elemental Root that grows through the Water Spirit Essence does not have a high affinity for spirit Qi, essentially equivalent to the spirit Qi affinity of a cultivator with four spiritual roots.

“At most, at most, it’s equivalent to a cultivator with three spirit roots.”

Images from the jade slip he had seen in his mind flashed through, and the light in He Song’s eyes flickered uncertainly.

The existence of the Water Spirit Essence.

Shook He Song to the core.

Especially when he had first learned of the existence of the Water Spirit Essence, a multitude of thoughts suddenly flooded his mind.

If there was Water Spirit Essence, could there be Fire Spirit Essence? Or Metal Spirit Essence? Wood Spirit Essence? Earth Spirit Essence?

Where did these things come from, after all?

This sort of thing, once refined, could actually allow a cultivator to grow a new Spirit Root within their body, truly existing in the Cultivation World.

If such a thing were used on mortals, wouldn’t it be possible to create Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators in large quantities?

However, this thought merely lingered briefly in He Song’s heart before he discarded it from his mind.

If it were truly possible to mass-produce Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators, the Cultivation World would probably turn into a realm where Golden Elixirs were as common as dust and Yuanyings were as plentiful as stray dogs.

Unfortunately.

As He Song saw it, even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Cultivation World could be considered quite remarkable.

Let alone the Golden Elixirs and Yuanyings.

They were the true recluses of the world, whom ordinary people might not even have the chance to meet.

In such a case, He Song’s imagination must be incorrect.

That is to say, there must be something preventing this from happening.

And what he subsequently saw and heard in the jade slip also enlightened him.

The Water Spirit Essence could indeed cause a new Spirit Root to grow within a cultivator’s body, but if a mortal used it, they would certainly explode and die.

Moreover, the quality of the Spirit Root formed by the Water Spirit Essence was at best that of a cultivator with three spirit roots.

Under these circumstances.

It was completely impossible to mass-produce Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators.

This was also the fundamental reason why the Cultivation World He Song lived in would not witness a situation where Golden Elixirs were abundant and Yuanyings were as plentiful as dogs.

But what slightly puzzled He Song was.

In the Cultivation World, wasn’t it always better to have fewer Spirit Roots?

Single Spirit Root cultivators are called Heaven Spirit Root, possessing extremely fast Cultivation speeds and virtually no bottlenecks on the path to the Golden Core Realm.

Double Spiritual Root cultivators are known as Earth Spirit Root; although they do not Cultivate as fast as Heaven Spirit Root cultivators, they are still very fast.

Triple Spirit Root cultivators are already the backbone of major Sects and Families; although they Cultivate slower than Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots, advancing through Foundation Establishment is relatively simple for them.

As for cultivators with four and five Spirit Roots.

Cultivators with four spiritual roots do not have a special name in the Cultivation World; they merely have one chance to attempt Foundation Establishment, and whether they can successfully break through afterward depends on their own fate.

Five Spirits Roots, however, are called false spirit roots; aside from having the slowest Cultivation speed, they hardly have any chance to attempt Foundation Establishment and need a great deal of luck to catch up.

In a world where everyone desires fewer Spirit Roots.

If one were to use the Water Spirit Essence.

Heaven Spirit Root would drop to Earth Spirit Root.

Earth Spirit Root would drop to Three Spirits Roots.

Triple Spirit Roots would drop to Four Spirits Roots.

Four Spirits Roots would drop to False Spirit Root.

Probably no one would do such a thing, lowering their own talent for Spirit Roots, right?

Therefore.

This thing that could cause a new Spirit Root to grow within a cultivator’s body.

Who exactly is using it?

Are they really not worried about changing from Triple Spirit Roots to Four Spirits Roots, or from Four Spirits Roots to False Spirit Root?

Taking out the small water-blue ball he had found earlier in the miscellaneous items of Fallen Snow True Monarch from his storage bag, He Song swept his gaze over the small ball.

He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Fallen Snow True Monarch left no record of this matter in the jade slip.

Therefore, He Song could only rely on his own conjecture.

However, after pondering, He Song still had no definitive conclusion about it.

The existence of the Water Spirit Essence was, in fact, like a chicken rib, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.

At least.

In He Song’s view.

He would definitely not use this Water Spirit Essence to grow another Spirit Root within his body.

If he did so, his Four Spirits Roots would become Five Spirits Roots.

Although his Cultivation had reached the Golden Core Realm, and Spirit Roots no longer had as great an impact on Cultivation speed as they did in the Qi Refining stage,

the disparity between Spirit Roots still existed, only it was no longer so obvious.

In the Golden Core Realm.

The difference in Cultivation speed between Three Spirits Roots and Four Spirits Roots cultivators was no longer significant.

Relying on numerous heavenly materials, spirit elixirs, and dense spirit Qi, He Song was confident that his Cultivation speed would not be weaker than any cultivator with three spirit roots.

So why would he choose to turn his Four Spirits Roots into Five Spirits Roots, slowing down his own Cultivation speed?

As such an idea flashed through his mind, He Song was about to put the Water Spirit Essence back into his storage bag.

But at that moment, his brows suddenly twitched.

The description of the Water Spirit Essence in the jade slip once again appeared in He Song’s mind.
