Chapter 182 - 100 Spirit RootsAfter a long time …
The moment Xiang Yun opened his eyes, his eyes shone like torches, and an aura akin to a rainbow unwittingly emanated from his body, becoming several times stronger than before."I"ve advanced!"
Xiang Yun stood up, his face filled with disbelief!
Although Xiang Yun had predicted that he would soon advance in cultivation a few days ago, he had estimated that it would take at least two months. However, he had not expected that he would suddenly advance in cultivation today."Congratulations, you have succeeded in breaking through, your strength has improved quite a bit." Xiang Yun raised his head to look at Luo He, who was cupping her hands and smiling at him.
"I don"t know either. How did he advance in such a muddled manner?" Xiang Yun was currently a little lost. His advancement this time had been too sudden.
Seeing this, Luo He could not help but chuckle: "This is not strange, the skin of a king level profound beast already contains a lot of energy, and it is even more powerful than some miraculous pills. Adding to that, you are already on the verge of a breakthrough, so after eating this piece of Cloud Beast meat and absorbing the energy, you naturally broke through ahead of time.""Ah, so that"s how it is!"
As expected, a king level Cloud Beast"s entire body was a treasure. Just a single piece of Cloud Beast meat had such immense energy.
The moment Xiang Yun thought of his own storage ring, which contained a small mountain of Cloud Beast meat, he felt that it wouldn"t spoil. From now on, not only would he be able to cultivate while sleeping, he would also be able to cultivate after eating.
"Brother Wei, forgive me for being so bold as to ask you a question." At this moment, Luo He spoke with a serious expression.
"If Brother Luo He has anything to say, feel free to ask."
"I wonder if Brother Wei is the disciple of one of the seven great sects of the Tianxuan Continent, or the senior disciple who had retired from the martial arts world?""Huh?" Xiang Yun"s face was blank. He had no idea what Luo He was talking about.
"Brother Wei, I know that it is a bit impolite to ask a disciple of a sect for permission. If Brother Wei has any inconvenience, there"s no need to answer."
Xiang Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Luo He, that is not what I mean. It"s just that I have never joined any sect, nor have I ever had any master? I have never even heard of the seven great sects that you are talking about. "
"How is this possible?" Luo He"s heart was filled with suspicions.
He was very clear about the situation in the Profound Sky Continent. In the entire continent, there were very few heaven-step cultivation techniques.
If they weren"t the direct disciples of the seven great sects, they would certainly be the heirs of the three sects.
Those who possessed a Heaven Tier cultivation technique were all well-known experts on the continent. However, they were still extremely rare, and were known by the top powers on the continent.
Where did this young man learn from? Could it have been bestowed to him by a certain recluse, or by a supreme expert who roamed the other continents?
Luo He quickly ran through all these speculations in her mind. In the end, she could roughly guess that it was the last two that had the greatest chance of success.
Luo He solemnly said to Xiang Yun, "Brother Wei, if you ever want to use your cultivation method in the future, it"s best to find a secluded place where no one can see you cultivating. Otherwise, you might bring disaster upon yourself!"Luo He"s sudden warning caused Xiang Yun to be a little confused. However, due to his trust in Luo He, he still nodded in agreement.
Xiang Yun"s own physical condition was something he did not understand. Everyone thought that he could not cultivate Yun Li, that he was a body pract.i.tioner. Thus, Xiang Yun was usually cultivating in seclusion at home and was not known to anyone.
Luo He couldn"t help but sigh in her heart as she looked at this young man before her who was radiating with vitality and had sharp eyes.
"Father is right, the world is big and there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I never would have thought that the human we meet for the first time at the northwest border of Merak Continent would be so extraordinary!"
"If I can bring him back to the clan and raise him at the highest level …" Luo He"s eyes lit up as a bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.
"Brother Wei, forgive me for asking, but how many spiritual roots do you have in your body?"
A martial pract.i.tioner of the Tianxuan Continent who cultivated clouds and mist needed to have their spirit roots as the foundation, bridging the bridge between the martial pract.i.tioner"s body and heaven and earth. This was the foundation of a martial pract.i.tioner.
Legend has it that the limit of a person"s spiritual roots is one hundred and eight, which is the number of Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns and Earth Fiends. Of course, so far in the continent, there had never been a single person who had full spiritual roots.
Luo He wanted to take Xiang Yun away, but the requirements for his family to recruit talents could be described as strict. The a.s.sessment of spirit roots was also extremely high, so he had to ask first.
However, from Luo He"s perspective, it didn"t matter whether it was Xiang Yun"s skill or his cultivation technique, as well as the aura he exuded when he broke through earlier.
The number of spirit roots Xiang Yun had was definitely not less than thirty. Otherwise, how could there be someone who would teach him such a mysterious cultivation method?However, upon hearing Luo He"s question, Xiang Yun once again fell silent, his expression clearly somewhat stiff.
Luo He felt somewhat apologetic, but she had no intention of stopping. He looked Xiang Yun straight in the eyes and spoke in an extremely sincere tone.
"I"m sorry Brother Wei, I should not have asked about these secrets, but please believe me. This will be very important to you and it might change your life. You will not regret it."
Luo He had the confidence that as long as Xiang Yun could enter her clan and receive training, he would definitely not be inferior to any direct disciple of any sect on the continent. He might even surpa.s.s them!
"Sigh!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but let out a long sigh, smiling bitterly as he shook his head, "Brother Luo He, right now, we"re still within this Setting Sun Forest. Whether or not we can travel from day to night tomorrow is unknown, and there"s no need to talk about secrets. It"s not that I don"t want to tell you about my spiritual roots. It"s just that it"s a little hard to say."Regarding the number of spiritual roots within his body, Xiang Yun was truly powerless to retort.
If he could be like his big brother and second brother, a genius with 40 spiritual roots, he would only say, "Not much, I only have 40 spiritual roots."
Moreover, even if he didn"t have a single spirit root, he could still arrogantly say, "I don"t have spirit root and I don"t know martial arts."Yet it was as though the heavens had purposely teased him by bestowing him with a pitiful spirit root. This was simply more shameful than not having a single spirit root at all, making him unable to answer Luo He"s questions.
Luo He was slightly startled when she heard this. She immediately said, "It"s alright, Brother Wei. You just need to give us a rough estimate."
Luo He had already made her preparations. As long as the number of spiritual roots within Xiang Yun exceeded the family"s minimum requirements, he would immediately apply to the family for a place in the cultivation of Xiang Yun!
Faced with Luo He"s insistence, Xiang Yun had no other choice. However, he did trust Luo He, and he did not want to cower in the face of a manly man. So what if he had a spiritual root?In the end, Xiang Yun gritted his teeth and simply extended a finger towards Luo He!
"Brother Luo He, I have one spiritual root!"
Before Xiang Yun could finish speaking, the opposing side had already opened their eyes wide, the shocked Luo He had already opened her mouth!"What? One hundred?!"
Although he had already mentally prepared himself for this, when he saw Xiang Yun stick out that finger, Luo He was still shocked. She was a little dazed!A total of three digits of spiritual roots. In the entire Profound Sky Continent, other than the known "monster" of the Divine Sword Sect, the "Young Clan Master" of the Heaven"s Illumination Sect, and the "Demon Emperor" of the Myriad Demon Sect, the total number of spiritual roots in the entire continent would not exceed one hand!
Could it be that he was really lucky to meet a three-digit talent in the Silvermoon Forest?
As Luo He thought about it, if she brought him back to the family, a genius with a hundred spiritual roots might not be Xiang Yun"s fortune, but the luck of her family instead!
For a moment, even with Luo He"s calm nature, she was unable to contain herself. She grabbed Xiang Yun by the shoulder and exclaimed in excitement!
"Brother Wei, I"ll send you back to your homeland first. After you"ve settled all your matters, I"ll take you to see my father!""Huh?"
Xiang Yun was a little dumbfounded. He had only raised a finger, but before he could say anything, he saw Luo He cry out in alarm, her face full of excitement. She was shaking his shoulder, saying that she wanted to bring him to see his father."What are you doing? Brother Luo He, when did I say that I have a hundred spiritual roots?"
"Hmm?" Luo He"s excited face suddenly froze. "You don"t have a hundred spiritual roots?"
"Of course not!" Xiang Yun nodded with absolute certainty.
Luo He"s expression immediately became somewhat dull upon seeing Xiang Yun nod his head. After staring blankly for a few seconds, he looked at Xiang Yun with doubt. He carefully asked about the index finger that had yet to be retracted.
"Don"t tell me you only have ten Spiritual Roots?"
"Ahem. More accurately speaking, there should be less than ten of them!"
"Ugh …"Hearing Xiang Yun"s words, Luo He felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face paled and her legs gave way. She almost fell to the ground.
From the ecstasy of a hundred spiritual roots to less than ten spiritual roots, the difference appeared to be huge, but in reality, the difference was f * cking huge!
Possessing a hundred spiritual roots, whether it was the Tianxuan Continent or the five continents of the Seven Stars Continent other than the Light-Shaking Continent, they were all absolute super geniuses. As long as they lived and cultivated, they would definitely be able to grow into hegemons in the future!
And less than ten spiritual roots, in the world of cultivation, was called "Lower Spiritual Roots". Such talent, in some ordinary cultivation sects, could only be considered service disciples or the lowest level of outer court disciples.And in those big sects, these kind of warriors with spiritual roots didn"t even have the qualifications to be service disciples.
Therefore, Xiang Yun was destined to have no fate with Luo He"s family. The requirements of their family were only higher than those of the super sects. A talent like Xiang Yun did not even qualify for them to look him in the eye.
The number of spiritual roots and the level of the cultivation technique greatly determined a martial artist"s future height.
And the number of spiritual roots was the foundation of a martial artist. If the number of spiritual roots did not meet the requirements or was too low, then this martial artist"s achievements in life would not be too high.Luo He looked at Xiang Yun with a complicated expression. He had never thought that a person with less than ten spiritual roots would be able to cultivate such an extraordinary and mysterious cultivation technique.
Fortunately, the fact that he was able to cultivate such a high level technique in his life was not in vain. Unfortunately, his spiritual roots were limited too much, and he would never be able to reach the top of the Great Dao in his lifetime.
What he didn"t know was that the explanation Xiang Yun had given him was already tactful enough. The difference between "less than ten spiritual roots" and "one spiritual root" was still a distance away from a mountain.
Even though Luo He tried her best to conceal it, the look of disappointment on his face was obvious."Ahem, about that, my Heaven"s Soul Root is rather rare. It seems that my talent is not that great." Xiang Yun saw the disappointment on Luo He"s face and said somewhat embarra.s.sedly to himself.
"Brother Wei, your words are wrong. Although you don"t have many spiritual roots, in the path of cultivation, aside from focusing on talent, luck, and perseverance!" One of the three is indispensable. "
"Brother Wei, you should be someone who does not lack luck. I believe that as long as you can persevere and persevere and persevere, there will be a day when you can achieve something. Perhaps you can even break through the shackles of life and become at least a Mystic One!"
"Oh, a Earth Cloud Realm martial artist."
Luo He originally wanted to say that she wanted to become a Mystic Cloud martial pract.i.tioner, because breaking through to the Yellow Cloud Realm after having ten spiritual roots was extremely difficult. It was even rarer to reach the Mystic Cloud Realm.And with this talent, if one wanted to advance into the Earth Cloud and overcome heavenly tribulation, it was a rare occurrence in the Profound Sky Continent.
Luo He"s words carried a sense of comfort.
However, as soon as Luo He finished speaking, the purple dragon hovering inside Xiang Yun"s dantian opened its tightly shut eyes.
It looked at Luo He from within its dantian before raising its head to look at the sky. The mist was hazy, like a laurel tree in the middle of a moon. It hung high in the sky and connected to the golden spirit root within the dantian!"Ang!"
The latter let out a light moan, and within her eyes, there was actually a look of contempt. That golden spirit root seemed to have sensed something, and with a flash of golden light, the radiance disappeared, and it seemed to have gone through a vicissitudes of life!
