My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 The sky’s the limit, and spiritual roots are vastly different.

“There are 100 catties of spirit rice and a set of formal disciple clothing inside.” Luo Bucheng glanced at everyone.

“Yes.” Everyone checked and found it to be correct.

Luo Bucheng then reminded him, “If you need to pack anything else, hurry up and do it.”

Upon hearing this, Lin An and the others turned and left.

Only Xu Changqing stood still, motionless.

Because there was nothing he cherished.

Before long, those who had left rushed back.

Luo Bucheng said half-jokingly, “You must keep the small storage bag safe. After all, it’s not a high-end item and can’t be bound by blood. Don’t come crying to me if you lose it.”

“Hahaha.” The group burst out laughing.

Luo Bucheng then said, “If there are no errors, we should set off.”

“Okay.” Everyone was eager to leave as soon as possible.

At this moment, Luo Bucheng took out a token with a flying crane pattern engraved on it, and shouted at it, “Lord Nineteen, we are about to set off.”

——Bah!

Not long after, a crane’s cry came from afar.

Then, a massive shadow approached at an extremely fast speed.

Xu Changqing and the others looked up.

It was discovered to be a huge white crane with a wingspan of over ten meters.

As soon as it approached, gusts of wind immediately swept through.

The wind blew so hard that everyone staggered and couldn’t stand up straight.

Lin An, Zhao Ying, and the others were forced to stagger backward.

Xu Changqing was alright, after all, he was in the mid-stage of Qi Refining and had five strands of spiritual power in his body.

But he still pretended to take a few steps back, looking shocked.

“monster?”

“That’s a celestial beast!”

“If we were monsters, we would have been eaten long ago!”

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Luo Bucheng said helplessly, “Your Excellency, please stop teasing these juniors.”

“Hehe.” The giant white crane chuckled in a human-like manner, and then the wind suddenly subsided.

Xu Changqing and the others finally regained their footing.

He then looked at the enormous white crane with lingering fear.

But they discovered that others were also observing them with pink eyes.

“Everyone, please follow me and climb onto the back of Lord Nineteen.” Luo Bucheng called out immediately after He Nineteen landed, and then took the lead on his way.

Xu Changqing and the others looked at each other.

No one dared to step forward.

“What are you standing there for?” Luo Bucheng urged impatiently when no one followed. “Come on up!”

At this moment, the group carefully stepped onto Crane Nineteen’s broad and sturdy back.

As soon as I stood still, I realized that the scenery around me was rushing past me.

Out of curiosity, I looked up and discovered that we had unknowingly taken to the air.

The spiritual fields and buildings below are getting smaller and smaller.

Looking down from above, the outer disciples resembled a dense swarm of ants.

Luo Bucheng laughed and said, “We should indeed take a closer look, after all, it’s the last day on the outskirts.”

“The periphery?” Xu Changqing was taken aback.

Luo Bucheng said in a playful tone, “You don’t actually think the spirit field is that big, do you?”

“Uh.” Xu Changqing and the others were speechless.

“In fact, what’s below is just the outer perimeter of the spirit field. Only those who have become formal disciples are qualified to enter the true core area,” Luo Bucheng explained briefly.

“I see.” The group realized.

“There’s still time. What do you want to ask?” Luo Bucheng shrugged.

“This…” Lin An and the others hesitated slightly.

“Senior Brother Luo, may I ask what spiritual root you have awakened?” Seeing that no one dared to ask, Xu Changqing simply spoke first.

“We are all formal disciples, so please call me Fellow Daoist Luo.” Luo Bucheng then added, “I have awakened the Water and Wood Spiritual Roots.”

“Dual spiritual roots!” The group exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Changqing pressed further, “Fellow Daoist Luo, is there a difference between a single spiritual root and a dual spiritual root?”

Luo Bucheng affirmed, “Yes, and it’s quite large.”

“How big?” Not only Xu Changqing, but everyone was curious.

Why should they be confined to the [Spirit Field] just because they awaken the Wood Spirit Root?

But this person with both water and wood spiritual roots has entered the [Spirit Beast Valley]?

“You should know that once you awaken your spiritual root, you will gain a spiritual shield. From then on, all attacks from mortals will have no effect on us, right?” Luo Bucheng asked rhetorically.

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing and the other two looked completely bewildered.

The well-informed Lin An nodded and said, “That is indeed the case.”

Luo Bucheng said with a hint of pride, “I have two.”

“Huh?” The group was dumbfounded.

“How so?” Luo Bucheng explained when he saw that the others did not quite understand. “It’s like the mutual generation and restraint of spiritual roots, especially the five elements of spiritual roots.”

For example, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, and metal overcomes wood.

“Yes.” Everyone nodded subconsciously.

Luo Bucheng continued, “Therefore, although you can restrain the earth elemental root, you will be suppressed when you encounter other types, especially the metal and fire elemental roots, and the spiritual light shield will not be able to defend against them at all.”

“Is that so?” Zhao Ying seemed to understand but not quite.

“No wonder I get scared when I encounter someone with a metal spiritual root.” Lin An suddenly realized.

Xu Changqing pondered, “So, the more spiritual roots one has, the higher one’s defense and the fewer weaknesses one has?”

Luo Bucheng shook his head and said, “Not only that, it also means that you can use more types of spells.”

Most spells have attributes.

For example, a person with a wood-elemental root can only cast wood-attribute spells.

The more spiritual roots one has, the more spells one can cast, and the better one can counter one’s opponents.

“Does that mean that the Five Elements Spiritual Roots are the best?” Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow.

Luo Bucheng revealed an appreciative look: “Currently, the mainstream in the entire cultivation world is the Five Elements Spiritual Root. It’s just a pity that there are too few such talents. Once they appear, they will definitely cause a great deal of competition among the major cultivation sects.”

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

“Online novels have ruined me!” Xu Changqing exclaimed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, what the Tianyuan Realm truly values is not spiritual root, but comprehension.

Spiritual roots are merely a necessary condition, or rather, a threshold, for cultivating immortality.

Seeing the sad expressions on their faces, Luo Bucheng couldn’t help but comfort them, “Don’t be sad. Since spiritual roots can be mutually destructive, they can also be mutually reinforcing.”

Xu Changqing quickly pressed on, “How do they generate each other?”

“It’s very simple.” Luo Bucheng revealed a meaningful expression, and then said, “After you have accumulated a certain amount of experience, you can find Daoist partners with different spiritual roots.”

By cultivating together, a new spiritual root can be born.

“I see.” Xu Changqing suddenly realized.

“Of course, you must find a compatible spiritual root, such as water nourishing wood. But you must never find a conflicting spiritual root, otherwise you will be killed before the new spiritual root even emerges.” Luo Bucheng blinked.

“How long does it usually take?” Xu Changqing was very curious about this.

Luo Bucheng replied, “It takes about a hundred years for the first spiritual root to be born, and the time doubles for each subsequent spiritual root.”

“Huh?” Lin An and the others were instantly dumbfounded.

Although cultivators with wood spirit roots have a longer lifespan than others.

Even if one cultivates to the peak of the Qi Refining stage, it will only take one hundred and twenty or thirty years.

In other words, it died of old age before it could develop a new spiritual root.

“So, you’d be better off spending this time cultivating.” Luo Bucheng shrugged, spreading his hands.

“Time?” Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, “I have plenty!”

Others can’t wait, but I don’t care.

Since I’m going to be farming anyway, I might as well gather all the spiritual roots while I’m at it.

Don’t even mention a hundred years, I can wait a thousand years!!!
