Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 443

[Chapter 442: Spiritual Roots (Update 21)]

“Everything is clear now…”

After a long while, Fang Xi sighed with regret: “My fragment of Zhutian Baojian was stolen by the demons…”

Although the Gate of the Heavenly Demon is on the Moon, Fang Xi doesn’t dare to take it.

That was the Moon Demon’s base camp, and there might be several of them even at the level of the God-Transforming Demon Lord
! The Fangxian Dao Palace could only suppress the Moon Demon on the Taiyin Star and build a Taiyin defense line, which was occasionally breached!
Fang Xi did not think that he could be stronger than the overall strength of the Fangxian Dao Palace!
This was completely unrealistic.

Moreover, the idea of summoning fragments to fly to you by just waving your hand is also very unreliable.

Because the Jiuzhou Realm Fangxian Dao Palace had already used the lives of countless cultivators to test it, the fragments that turned into the “Heavenly Demon Gate” were anchored by the demons with treasures, and could not be moved or closed at all…

“I may have a way, but I need to be able to touch the main body of the Heavenly Demon Gate…”

An idea popped up in Fang Xi’s mind, and he immediately shook his head: “My cultivation is still too insufficient…”

“It’s better to stay hidden for a while, follow this person, and get to know this world better…”

As for cooperating with local forces?
Fang Xi had no idea at all. After all, how important was the Mirror of All Heavens? A fragment of it could make the two worlds risk their lives, let alone the main body?
He shifted his gaze and looked at Jing Yi who was still sleeping and snoring…

After all, possessing a Jindan cultivator is still somewhat dangerous. The other party’s spiritual perception can already detect some clues, and it is not easy to manipulate.

And Fang Xi was quite interested in Fangxian University…

Although Jing Yi calls himself an ordinary person, he has actually always been a child of destiny in every sense of the word.

As the legitimate son of a Jindan cultivator, he was actually at the end of many people’s lives from the moment he was born.

Moreover, when his spiritual roots were tested in childhood, he was extremely lucky to have detected earth-grade spiritual roots, and now he has cultivated to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

With this aptitude, he would even get extra points in the immortal examination.

Therefore, when he said that he might be admitted to Hougosen University, he was not joking.

This is an ‘other people’s child’ in every sense of the word.

…

A few months later.

A maglev car stopped at the gate of Fangxian University.

“Okay, okay, Mom and Dad, you don’t have to send me off… I know the way myself, and I have an electronic map and an elf to show me the way!”

Jing Yi got out of his car and waved to Jing Zian and Lan Fei.

“This kid…”

Jing Zian cursed with a smile, but there was an indescribable pride on his face.

Not every child can be admitted to the best university in Kyushu.

However, a gentle-looking female cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage next to her turned her head away silently, her eyes seeming to be a little red.

Jing Yi couldn’t stand this, so he hurriedly picked up his luggage, waved back, and walked into the school gate.

“This student, is this here to report?”

A tall, muscular male student with black hair immediately stepped forward and took the luggage enthusiastically: “My name is Zhang Huohua, and I’m a sophomore in the ‘Large Space Instrument Refining Department’. What about you?”

“Hello, senior. My name is Jing Yi, and I’m from the Fleet Control Department.”

Jing Yi quickly performed an ancient ritual.

“Haha… Junior, you have a deep cultivation base. Maybe you can successfully build a foundation in your freshman year… In our Fangxian University, outstanding graduates must at least reach the Jindan cultivation base. Otherwise, it would be a shame to the cultivation of Principal Baimei Zhenjun, the ‘Endless Treasure Master’…”

Zhang Huohua said in a familiar manner: “I will take you to the registration office first. After registration, you can receive the freshman benefits, including a ‘subspace pocket’, so you don’t have to carry so many burdens…”

“Subspace pocket…”

Jing Yi has been coveting his father’s subspace pocket for a long time, but unfortunately it is a controlled item and only a few universities offer it as a benefit for freshmen: “Our university benefits are good…”

In his sea of consciousness, Fang Xi curled his lips in disdain; “Isn’t it just giving out storage bags upon entry?… Any sect in the Southern Wasteland that has any shame will do the same…”

“It’s that ‘Endless Treasure Master’…”

Fang Xi suddenly recalled the image of an old monk with white eyebrows that he had seen in his spiritual consciousness.

“Enemies always meet again…”

According to his current understanding of the Jiuzhou Realm, in the Fangxian Taoist Palace, the most respected person is naturally the Fangxian Taoist Master.

However, this person’s whereabouts are very mysterious. According to rumors, he has been in seclusion trying to break through to the realm of transformation.

Below the Taoist master are three great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage!

Among them, the “Treasure Master” is responsible for managing the secret scriptures of the Taoist Palace, and is also the president of the “Fangxian University”, known as the “Endless Treasure Master”…

The Sky Palace is where the strongest warriors gather. It is responsible for the Taiyin defense line. The Palace Master is Demon Slayer, whose hands are stained with the blood of demons. He manages many Yuanying Zhenjun and the Sky Patrol Battleship Group, and is known as the number one Yuanying warrior…

Finally, there is a ‘Master of Tiangong Pavilion’ who is responsible for the logistics and production of Fangxiandao Palace. The Pavilion Master is now ‘Master Guifu’.

However, the ‘Endless Treasure Master’ is just a figurehead. Jing Yi may not be able to see him even once in ten years since he came here to attend university!
‘If you want to learn the profound inheritance of the Nine Provinces, you still have to take some risks…’

“Not to mention the other realms, the way of refining equipment is absolutely amazing and ingenious… it can even be managed by intelligent operation… it is very suitable for me, who is not good at refining equipment…”

“Besides, I am just an outsider with no human rights… Of course I have to take the risk!”

In his sea of consciousness, Fang Xi couldn’t help but complain.

At this moment, he felt that this ‘Zhang Huohua’ seemed to be a little bit off, but he couldn’t put his finger on it…

Zhang Huohua enthusiastically took Jing Yi to go through the registration procedures, received a bunch of new student benefits, and was given access to a private terminal.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

“Okay… Junior, you have now obtained the array authorization and can go to the library, cafeteria, dormitory and other areas…”

Zhang Huohua looked at the smartwatch on Jing Yi’s hand and smiled. “Our university’s dormitories are all single-family villas. The spiritual energy has reached more than 20 standard values, which is enough for building a foundation… But it’s only the standard of freshman dormitories. Now I, senior, live in the Feixian Pavilion cave residence, which has a construction area of 500 square meters… It’s bigger than my home.”

“Oh… It’s a pity that my home is different from this one, but it’s quite interesting. Except that the place is a little small…” Jing Yi said with a smile.

“Hmm? How big is your house, junior?” Zhang Huohua asked in surprise.

“Well, it’s just the Jindan spiritual vein cave within a few miles… To be honest, I also want to choose to learn the refining of a large magic weapon, so I like the place to practice to be more spacious.” Jing Yi replied.

Zhang Huohua suddenly didn’t want to talk anymore…

…

The first open class in college, in the classroom.

“Hello students, I am your lecturer ‘Tu Ming’!”

A female teacher in her forties, wearing glasses and looking like a dean, stood on the podium. Her spiritual sense swept over every student in the lecture hall, radiating a golden elixir-level spiritual pressure…

There was silence in the classroom.

“Cultivation is the foundation of everything, whether it’s flying a ship, refining equipment, making elixirs… without cultivation, it’s nothing!”

“In the realm of the path, the foundation is the most important, so the first lesson in college is ‘Spiritual Root Theory’!”

Tu Ming lectured very quickly: “As we all know, every spiritual root person must have all five elements in their body… or in other words… all spiritual root attributes, which can be called ‘chaotic spiritual roots’. In fact, it’s not just cultivators, every ordinary person who can’t practice cultivation also has ‘chaotic spiritual roots’ in their body, but the value is too low… Then the aptitude for cultivation is determined based on the most prominent spiritual root value.”

“After generations of research and summary by the Tianqing Academy, we can now accurately calculate the value of spiritual roots to nine decimal places…”

“If the value of a mid-grade spiritual root is set at 10 to 100, then the value of a low-grade spiritual root is only 1 to 10. In other words, a cultivator with a low-grade fire spiritual root has the highest value of fire spiritual root in his body, which may be 2 or 9, but the remaining water spiritual root may only be 0.1 or even 0.001! The same is true for the other attributes such as wind, darkness, thunder, underworld, space, etc. If there is another spiritual root with a value greater than 1 and less than 10, then he is a dual-element low-grade spiritual root. If the fire spiritual root is also less than 1, then he is an ordinary person without the aptitude to practice…”

“In fact, everyone present here, as well as all the people in the Nine Provinces, are already lucky enough. You know, in the ancient cultivator era, a spiritual root value had to be over 5 to be identified as a ‘low-grade spiritual root’. After generations of research in the Dao Palace, the ‘Source Heart Sutra’, ‘Chaos Qi Flowing Diagram’ and other techniques, as well as various potions and injections, have lowered the standard for identifying low-grade spiritual roots to 1… allowing many people with low-grade spiritual roots who were originally unable to cultivate to have the opportunity to enter the door of cultivation…”

Tu Ming said: “Even so… how to improve the spiritual root qualifications on a large scale and at a low cost is still the biggest problem facing Fangxian Dao Palace!”

“Moreover, it is relatively simple to upgrade low-grade spiritual roots to medium-grade or high-grade ones, and it can be done at any cost. However, it is extremely difficult to upgrade low-grade spiritual roots to earth-grade or heaven-grade ones, because the latter’s value is 10,000 or even 100,000!”

…

Offstage, Jing Yi yawned out of boredom.

He had taken this general education course several times in elementary and junior high school.

Fang Xi, on the other hand, listened with great interest, and even had his eyes light up: “This world actually has such in-depth research on spiritual roots, and there are methods to improve spiritual roots?”

“Although earth-grade and heaven-grade are difficult… it’s also great to be able to upgrade to the highest grade.”

Even though he has achieved the status of Yuanying Zhenjun, he is still a low-grade spiritual root!
With the help of the Yimu Dharmakaya, he is only slightly inferior to the Tianpin spiritual root in terms of efficiency in absorbing and transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

If he could improve his lower-grade spiritual roots, even to a mid-grade or upper-grade level… then his cultivation speed would definitely surpass that of a heavenly-grade spiritual root.

Although the Nascent Soul monsters can use their Nascent Soul to take over other people’s bodies with heavenly spiritual roots to gain better qualifications, Fang Xi will definitely not do so.

Apart from anything else… is it possible that the ‘Yi Mu Dharma Body’ is no longer needed? !
‘Now it seems that there should be a way to improve spiritual roots in the Nine Provinces. At most, it will cost more… It cannot be done on a large scale or at a low cost, but if we spare no effort and only improve one person, there should still be a chance. This is my chance…’

In Jing Yi’s sea of consciousness, Fang Xi’s Nascent Soul sat cross-legged, listening more attentively…
