Chapter 304: Since when did improving spiritual roots become so easy?
【 Spirit Plant: Five Elements Fruit Tree 】
【 Grade: Fourth Order 】
【 Description: Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree, bears fruit after three hundred years, matures after five hundred years. After consumption, it can condense mana, solidify the foundation, greatly increase the probability of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, and also has the effect of enhancing Core Formation cultivation mana. 】
“Five hundred years to mature, that’s too slow.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the introduction of the Five Elements Fruit Tree in the system space and couldn’t help but shake his head.
Even though he knew that it took a long time for the third and fourth-order Heaven and Earth Spirit Fruit Trees to mature, often hundreds or thousands of years.
But looking at his own fruit tree taking five hundred years for one cycle, he still couldn’t help but sigh.
After all, it has only been thirty-two years since he embarked on the path of immortality.
He hasn’t yet adapted to the true timelessness of cultivation.
“Five hundred years later, will I be a Nascent Soul by then?”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
He felt that by the time this fruit tree bore fruit, he would probably have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so where would he need this Five Elements Spirit Fruit?
He was destined not to eat this Five Elements Spirit Fruit himself, and could only give it to his wives, concubines, sons, and daughters in the future.
“Yun’er previously refined the ‘Spirit Light Treasure Tree’ into a ‘Natal Spirit Root’, which can stimulate ‘Spirit Light Essence’ through her own mana.”
“Although the amount is not much, it can obviously make it bear fruit in advance.”
“So, if I give this ‘Five Elements Fruit Tree’ to my family to refine into a Natal Spirit Root, maybe I can stimulate one or two fruits in advance.”
Lu Changsheng thought of some of the effects of his wife Lu Miaoyun cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Art.
Although this Heaven and Earth Longevity Art has no combat ability.
But besides longevity, it is not without its merits.
Practitioners can sacrifice the growth of spirit plants and their own cultivation progress to stimulate the fruits of spirit trees.
“However, it may not be easy to plant and keep this fourth-order Heaven and Earth Spirit Root alive.”
“At least it must be planted on a third-order spirit vein and carefully cultivated.”
Lu Changsheng immediately realized that what he should be considering now was not the matter of the Five Elements Fruit Tree bearing fruit.
But whether his family could keep it alive!
After all, theoretically, fourth-order spirit plants must be kept alive on at least third-order spirit veins.
Moreover, a third-order spirit vein can only barely keep it alive, and wanting to raise it well is another matter.
A poor spirit vein not only affects growth, but also, if one is not careful, it may kill the spirit tree.
“Bi Yun Peak is only a second-order high-grade spirit vein now, wanting to advance to the third order will probably take forever.”
Lu Changsheng sighed softly.
It is very difficult for spirit veins to advance.
He spent two Spirit Source Pearls to upgrade his spirit vein from second-order middle-grade to high-grade.
Moreover, this was because his spirit vein was already at the upper limit of second-order middle-grade.
If he wanted to quickly upgrade the current spirit vein to second-order top-grade, it would probably take seven or eight Spirit Source Pearls, let alone advance to the third order.
Even if he was rich, he couldn’t play like this.
Unless he was lucky, and the system lottery happened to get one or two Spirit Eye items.
“However, it may be possible to keep it alive in the Sumeru Cave Heaven.”
Lu Changsheng pondered secretly.
Although there are no spirit veins in the Sumeru Cave Heaven, Sumeru can control the heavens and the earth on its own and distribute spiritual energy, forming small areas similar to spirit veins in the cave heaven.
So, planting it in the Sumeru Cave Heaven may be able to keep this Five Elements Fruit Tree alive.
“However, Sumeru’s current mana, relying on Bi Yun Peak’s spirit veins and the Spirit Eye Spring, it may be very difficult to raise this Five Elements Fruit Tree well, and the consumption will be quite large.”
“Forget it, I’ll think of a way later.”
“I don’t know how Sumeru is doing now after absorbing the Emperor Flow Ooze, and whether the natal spirit plant has been nurtured.”
Lu Changsheng sighed softly.
He planned to temporarily put this Five Elements Fruit Tree in the system space and release it for planting and cultivation when conditions were right.
Bi Hu Mountain.
Lu Family Mansion.
“Oh, Quanzhen, you’re back?”
Qu Zhenzhen was very happy to learn that her son Lu Quanzhen had returned.
“Mother.”
Lu Quanzhen looked at his mother in front of him, thinking of his uncle who had just left, his heart was slightly heavy.
He understood his uncle’s thoughts.
Regardless of whether the Immortal Dao is successful, he only hopes that his mother can live a carefree and happy life forever.
He sat down to chat with his mother to relieve her boredom, telling some interesting stories.
Then he took out the Heaven Mending Pill given by his uncle and said: “Mother, this is a gift I bought for you, it has the effect of nourishing the skin, beautifying the face, and increasing cultivation.”
“Hehe, Quanzhen is so thoughtful.”
Qu Zhenzhen’s face showed a happy smile when she heard her son’s words.
After all, her son not only knows how to call her mother, and the younger brothers and sisters in the family go out to play.
Now he also knows to take the initiative to go home to see her, she is very gratified.
However, looking at the ink jade porcelain bottle, she said gently: “Quanzhen, mother doesn’t need any pills now, you don’t need to waste spirit stones.”
“If you really want to make your mother happy, get married sooner and don’t delay any longer, let your mother hold a grandson at home, your brother Yun has already conceived his seventh child last month.”
Qu Zhenzhen’s voice was a little aggrieved and envious as she spoke.
She and Lu Miaoyun have a very good relationship.
So, seeing that Lu Yun is very obedient and has already had one wife and four concubines and six children under Lu Miaoyun’s arrangement, she is very envious.
Lu Quanzhen: “…”
Hearing this, Lu Quanzhen suddenly had a headache.
The reason why he usually avoids his mother is that she likes to mention this as soon as they meet.
And with Lu Yun as a comparison, he doesn’t know how to refute it.
“Mother, I know, take this pill, I still have something to do, I’ll chat with you later.”
After Lu Quanzhen put down the pill, he immediately found an excuse to leave.
“Quanzhen, Quanzhen.”
Qu Zhenzhen looked at her son leaving in a hurry, with a few grievances on her face.
However, looking at the ink jade porcelain bottle on the table, there was still a hint of gratification in her eyes.
In previous years, her son would also give her, his mother, some small gifts, but rarely pills.
On the one hand, the price of pills is relatively expensive.
On the other hand, Bi Hu Mountain does not lack her any pills.
She even gives her share of pills for cultivation to her son Lu Quanzhen and daughter Lu Caizhen every month.
Lu Quanzhen’s cultivation speed is also due to the contribution of her mother.
“What a beautiful pill.”
Qu Zhenzhen opened the porcelain bottle and saw the Heaven Mending Pill inside, her gentle and lovely face showed a look of surprise.
Although she is not very interested in cultivating immortality, she has learned a lot about cultivating immortality over the years.
She knows that this kind of pill is not ordinary, and is very rare and precious.
“Quanzhen, Quanzhen!”
She hurriedly got up to call her son, saying that the pill was too precious and she didn’t need it.
But her son Lu Quanzhen had already disappeared.
“Mother, are you urging brother to get married again? I saw brother escaped as soon as he drove his flying sword.”
At this time, her daughter Lu Caizhen, wearing a goose-yellow dress and with a lovely face, came over with a smile.
“Hmph, your brother is so old, can’t mother mention it? Look at your brother Yun…”
Qu Zhenzhen said somewhat aggrievedly.
“Okay, okay, mother, don’t be angry, this is the spirit honey produced by the jade bees I just raised, it’s very sweet, sister and brother all say it’s delicious, try it.”
Lu Caizhen didn’t take up this topic, and took out a beehive like a treasure, diverting the topic.
She was initially interested in beekeeping, and Lu Changsheng naturally agreed to her and got her a few nests of flower bees.
Although many nests died, but her parents had money and she was determined not to admit defeat, now she is considered a formal beekeeper.
She can usually produce some honey for the family to eat.
“Mother, try it.”
Qu Zhenzhen heard this, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, putting her son Lu Quanzhen’s matter behind her.
The reason why she has been happy for so many years and came out of the shadow of the extermination of her clan, in addition to the people around her, is also due to her forgetful and optimistic personality.
“It’s really delicious!”
Qu Zhenzhen drank a cup of honey water, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.
Then she looked at the ink jade porcelain bottle in her hand and said: “Caizhen, this is a pill that your brother sent, saying that it has the effect of preserving beauty and increasing cultivation, mother doesn’t need it, you can take it and take it.”
This pill looks precious, and she is reluctant to use it herself.
And she also knows that her son sends things like her husband, and he basically won’t take them back once he sends them.
So, she gave it to her daughter to take.
After all, this daughter is like her, usually playful and doesn’t like to cultivate, and her cultivation has only broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining.
“Wow, what a beautiful pill.”
Lu Caizhen was also a little surprised when she saw the Heaven Mending Pill in the porcelain bottle.
After all, this pill is not only crystal clear, but also seems to have life, its luster is sometimes bright and sometimes dark, as if it is breathing, and wisps of light flow on their own.
She declined: “Mother, since brother gave it to you, you can use it.”
“It’s okay, mother doesn’t need it, you can take it.”
Qu Zhenzhen said with a look of love.
“Thank you, mother!”
Lu Caizhen did not decline any further, and held her mother’s arm affectionately.
“By the way, Caizhen, how are you and Xuanji now?”
Qu Zhenzhen stroked her daughter’s hair and asked.
She knows that her daughter Lu Caizhen and Hong Yi’s son Hong Xuanji have a good relationship and are very close.
“Mother~”
Lu Caizhen immediately acted shy and coquettish when she heard this.
“Mother is just asking.”
Qu Zhenzhen held her daughter’s arm and said somewhat coquettishly.
Green Luan Immortal City.
“Huff, finally arrived.”
Lu Changsheng and his wives Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan looked at the Immortal City in front of them and walked down from the ‘Ancient Moon Spirit Ship’.
They had to wait another two months for the spirit ship from Green Luan Immortal City to return to Qingyun Workshop.
However, Lu Changsheng still planned to return by spirit ship instead of piloting a spirit boat himself.
After all, he wasn’t in a rush for these few months, and traveling by spirit ship was much more stable and comfortable.
The three of them rented a courtyard in the inner city, and then strolled around, picking out some gifts for their wives, concubines, and children at home.
Lu Changsheng also planned to purchase a large quantity of demon beast skeletons, demon beast blood, demon beast crystal cores, and other materials.
Because of its proximity to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and the large number of wandering cultivators, the demon beast materials in Qingluan Immortal City were generally thirty to forty percent cheaper than in other places.
Whether it was for making talismans, crafting beast-type puppets, or the medicinal baths Hong Lian mentioned, most of the raw materials came from demon beasts.
Just then, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of rich, profound, and subtle throbbing throughout his body.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng paused slightly.
The newest novels are available first at Six/9/Book/Bar!
He knew that this was the throbbing of a spiritual root.
However, he didn’t have any children being born, and even for his grandchildren, unless they had top-grade spiritual roots, there wouldn’t be such spiritual root effect enhancements.
His mind stirred slightly, and he looked at the system. There were grandchildren added, but none with spiritual roots.
“Could it be Quan Zhen again?”
Lu Changsheng looked at his son, Lu Quanzhen.
The attribute panel showed no changes.
This made him somewhat surprised, and then he began to check the attribute panels of his sons and daughters.
After looking for nearly a quarter of an hour, he finally found out which of his children had their spiritual root enhanced.
【Name: Lu Caizhen】
【Lifespan: 25 / 93】
【Talent: Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root】
【Cultivation: Qi Refining Fourth Layer】
【Ability: Beekeeping Compatibility (38%)】
“Is it because of Quanzhen…”
Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter’s attribute panel, his brow slightly furrowed, guessing that it was related to his son, Lu Quanzhen.
After all, not long ago, his son Lu Quanzhen’s eighth-grade spiritual root advanced to fourth-grade, and now his daughter Lu Caizhen’s ninth-grade spiritual root advanced to fifth-grade.
“Since when has spiritual root enhancement become so simple?”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, somewhat unable to understand what was going on.
Apart from the Hope Gu, he had not yet come into contact with any natural treasures that could enhance spiritual roots.
In order to enhance his own spiritual root, from ninth-grade to fifth-grade, he used a full twelve years, and to advance to fourth-grade, he used seventeen years!
But his children had enhanced to fifth-grade and fourth-grade in such a short period of time.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s desire to return home became even more urgent, wanting to figure out what was going on with his children.
Azure Lake Mountain.
In a courtyard, inside a cultivation room.
“This, this, this!?”
Lu Caizhen opened her eyes, looking at her hands, experiencing the speed of her just now cultivation, her whole person was astonished.
After taking the elixir given by her mother, she did not experience any increase in cultivation.
She only felt a mysterious feeling all over her body, and in the dark, it seemed that her spiritual root had been enhanced.
Then she tried to sit down and cultivate.
As a result, she found that her cultivation speed was several times faster than before, and her whole face was full of surprise.
“What is this elixir! It can actually enhance spiritual roots!”
Lu Caizhen muttered to herself, realizing that this elixir was not simple, and quickly got up to find her mother.
At the same time, Lu Quanzhen came to visit his mother.
After all, the Heaven Mending Pill was of great importance.
After his mother took it, she would definitely realize that something was wrong, and he needed to explain and advise her.
“Quanzhen, is there something wrong?”
Qu Zhenzhen looked at her son coming to find her again, and asked happily.
Her son had been avoiding her all day long, but he came over yesterday and again today, which made her a little surprised.
“Mother, the elixir I gave you, haven’t you taken it yet?”
Lu Quanzhen looked at his mother’s appearance, guessing that his mother had not taken it yet.
“Quanzhen, where did you get that elixir? It looks very precious. I thought I didn’t need it, so I gave it to Caizhen.”
Qu Zhenzhen said this.
“Gave it to Caizhen?”
Lu Quanzhen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Although his uncle had said that if his mother didn’t want it, he could give it to his younger sister or father.
But there was only one Heaven Mending Pill left, and if he really had to make a decision, he would still give it to his mother, Qu Zhenzhen.
After all, this was his uncle’s intention.
That was why he was worried that his mother would refuse, so he made up a reason.
But he didn’t expect that his mother would accidentally give the elixir to his younger sister.
“Quanzhen, what’s wrong?”
Qu Zhenzhen looked at her son, realizing that something was wrong.
“It’s nothing, I’m just asking. Since it’s given to Caizhen, then it’s given to Caizhen. I just happen to have something to say to her.”
Lu Quanzhen’s expression was calm, he smiled slightly, and said indifferently.
He knew that once his younger sister took the elixir, she would realize that the effect was wrong, and he needed to explain and advise her.
However, he had just gotten up and hadn’t walked out the door when he saw his younger sister rushing over.
“Mother! Mother!”
“Eh, brother, you’re here too. What kind of elixir did you give mother? After I took it, I actually felt that my spiritual root…”
Lu Caizhen said immediately when she saw her brother.
“Sigh.”
Lu Quanzhen looked at his reckless younger sister, slapped his forehead, and sighed.
Immediately, under the gaze of his mother and sister, Lu Quanzhen explained calmly.
He said that he had obtained this elixir by chance some time ago.
After he took it, his spiritual root was enhanced.
So, he had thought about it for a long time before deciding to give the remaining one to his mother.
This way, his mother would be able to cultivate properly, and perhaps break through to Foundation Establishment in the future, and spend more time with his father and siblings.
But considering that his mother would definitely be reluctant to let him use it, he made up a reason.
“Enhance spiritual roots, Quanzhen, actually this elixir can be given to your father.”
“Your father’s spiritual root is not good. If he can enhance his spiritual root, he will be able to cultivate much more easily in the future.”
Qu Zhenzhen’s face showed a few traces of regret.
She didn’t feel sorry for herself, she only felt that this elixir was more suitable for Lu Changsheng.
“Mother, brother.”
Lu Caizhen lowered her head slightly, clutching the corner of her clothes, feeling that she had made a mistake by taking such a precious elixir.
“It’s okay, it’s used, then it’s used. Put more effort into cultivation in the future.”
Lu Quanzhen said softly, not blaming his sister.
After all, he hadn’t done this matter well himself.
He looked at his sister, and said with a serious expression: “Caizhen, the matter of spiritual roots is of great importance, you must never recklessly tell anyone about it again, do you understand.”
“Brother, I know.”
Lu Caizhen nodded repeatedly.
She had been cultivating for so long, and had never heard of any elixirs or natural treasures that could enhance spiritual roots.
She knew that this kind of thing could easily cause trouble.
After Lu Quanzhen comforted his sister, Qu Zhenzhen was worried that her son would be unhappy, and said quietly: “Quanzhen, mother will tell you something.”
“Actually, your father gave mother a cultivation method called ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Method’. Your Aunt Yun is cultivating this cultivation method. When your father finds a spiritual plant, mother can cultivate it, so you don’t have to worry about mother.”
Qu Zhenzhen said softly, telling her son about the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.
“Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, cultivate by refining Heaven and Earth spiritual plants, no bottlenecks, double lifespan…”
Lu Quanzhen’s heart skipped a beat, somewhat surprised, he didn’t expect his family to have such a cultivation method.
But he knew that Heaven and Earth spiritual plants were rare.
His father was already very lucky to be able to find a Heaven and Earth spiritual plant for his aunt Lu Miaoyun to cultivate.
It would probably not be easy to find another one for his mother to cultivate the cultivation method.
“There are still four years before the Violet Abyss Secret Realm opens.”
“Now I’m at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, I’ll cultivate spells properly during this time, and when I go to the Violet Abyss Secret Realm, I might be able to gain something and obtain a Heaven and Earth spiritual plant.”
Lu Quanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, muttering to himself in his heart.
The Violet Abyss Secret Realm opens once every thirty years.
Before, when he learned about this secret realm, he planned to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining before the secret realm opened, and then go and try it out.
Now that he heard his mother’s words, and also had the cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi Refining, he was also confident to go.
Two months later.
Lu Changsheng took his wives and concubines on the spirit ship, embarking on the return journey to the Azure Cloud Territory.
This time, he also planned to ask Li Feiyu if he wanted to return with him.
However, he learned that the other party had been out and had not returned, and was not at home.
At this, Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.
Knowing that, as he had guessed, Li Feiyu’s mentality was still somewhat affected by him, and he was preparing for a final gamble in these few years.
“With the ‘Substitute Talisman’, presumably Feiyu can escape even if he encounters danger.”
Lu Changsheng stood on the deck, pondering in his heart.
But when he looked into the distance at the overlapping peaks and the continuous extension of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he realized a problem.
When encountering life-threatening danger, the Substitute Talisman can form a substitute puppet to block the calamity, and then move away thousands of miles.
But this teleportation is random and not controlled by the user.
Li Feiyu has been fighting and honing in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range for a long time. If he uses the ‘Substitute Talisman’, wouldn’t that mean that he might be teleported to the depths?
And in the depths of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, not to mention Qi Refining cultivators, even Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators are very dangerous.
“It shouldn’t be…”
Lu Changsheng shook his head, feeling that Li Feiyu had been here for so many years, and it shouldn’t be that his luck was so bad.
