Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 92: Soul Devouring Spiritual Root, Mountain Moving Body Refining Technique
Lin Chen's mind was racing at this moment.

The mysterious Jiang Liqian, the cultivation method of spiritual roots, the method of body refining, the exploration of ruins, the ancient secrets...

For ordinary monks, there is no reason to refuse any of these temptations.

But for Lin Chen...

"Five years later? By then I might have already reached the state of Dan..."

Lin Chen thought silently, the five years the girl mentioned was ten years for him.

"If I have already reached the Dan stage by then and cannot enter the ruins, then that shouldn't be considered a breach of contract, right?"

"At worst... I can just give her some compensation."

"Whether it's the method of cultivating different spiritual roots or the method of refining the body, they are both very useful to me..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen took a deep breath and said:
"I agree."

After seeing Lin Chen agreed, Jiang Liqian's eyes showed a little joy and she no longer concealed it.

"Brother's spiritual roots are not as simple as the dual spiritual roots of earth and wood..."

"It is an extremely rare spiritual root called the Soul Devouring Root!"

Soul-devouring root?

"I see. No wonder the amount of spiritual stones I consumed in my practice is so huge... The name makes sense!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, believing in his heart that Jiang Liqian had not lied to him.

Jiang Liqian then introduced what the Soul-Devouring Root was.

“The so-called Soul Devouring Spiritual Root may not be very strong at the beginning of cultivation, but it will become stronger as time goes by.”

"It's because... after continuously absorbing spiritual energy, the quality of the Soul Devouring Spiritual Root can also be continuously improved! In the end, it may become a powerful spiritual root that surpasses the Heavenly Spiritual Root."

Devour spiritual energy and improve the quality of spiritual roots?
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this. Doesn't this mean that his spiritual roots can be continuously upgraded?

Finally surpassing the Heavenly Spiritual Root? How fast must his cultivation be!
Seeing Lin Chen fall into deep thought, Jiang Liqian added:
"However, this process requires too many spiritual stones and spiritual energy resources...it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to supply them."

"Brother, you should have noticed it, right? Your cultivation speed is very fast... but your spiritual stone consumption is also ridiculously high."

Lin Chen appeared calm on the surface, but he secretly agreed in his heart.

Indeed, his cultivation speed was very fast, but the spirit stones he consumed were also ten or even dozens of times that of cultivators at the same level.

Since breaking through to the second level of foundation building, Lin Chen needs twenty spirit stones every day just for practice.

This speed of consumption of spirit stones is so fast that even the cultivators who are in the stage of Qi Refining and Foundation Building would feel a bit painful.

But fortunately, he has the support of the high-level martial arts world behind him, so he can afford it even if he consumes more spirit stones.

"Here is a jade slip that records the cultivation experience of an ancient cultivator who possesses the Soul Devouring Spiritual Root..."

Lin Chen took the jade slip and didn’t rush to read it. He bowed and said:
"Thank you, Junior Sister Jiang."

Jiang Liqian nodded slightly and took out another ancient book and handed it over.

"I have seen the Giant Stone Body Refining Technique that you practiced. It was adapted by a cultivator based on an ancient body cultivation technique..."

"And I happen to have that ancient physical training book, which is the "Mountain Moving Physical Training Book". You should practice well... Your physical training will be very useful when you explore the ruins later!"

"If you can cultivate this body-refining technique to the Dan-forming stage within five years, it will be of great use..."

Moving Mountain Body Refining Technique...

Lin Chen took the ancient book and a look of joy flashed across his eyes.

"This book of the Mountain Moving Body Refining Technique will be of great use to Blue Star's martial arts!"

"Maybe... it can promote the emergence of the ninth generation breathing method!"

His mind raced.

A mere book of Giant Stone Body Refining Technique can introduce the eighth generation breathing method.

The effect of the real ancient body refining technique can be imagined...

"Thank you, Junior Sister Jiang."

As Lin Chen spoke, he became more curious about Jiang Liqian's identity.

He is knowledgeable and can easily give away precious ancient body-refining techniques to others... Jiang Liqian's identity is becoming more and more mysterious.

"Please keep this mother-and-child sound transmission jade. If there is anything in the future, I will send you a message."

Jiang Liqian handed over a jade slip.

After Lin Chen took the jade slip, he did not stay for long. He stepped on the purple jade gourd and returned to Danfeng.

Not long after Lin Chen left, a figure appeared beside Jiang Liqian.

"Young Master, with your strength, do you still need this boy's help to explore the ruins?" An old voice came.

Jiang Liqian chuckled after hearing this:

"That relic is weird. I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble in Qingzhou after it appears in the world. People may be sent to explore those places..."

"And now I am hiding in Changchun Sect, and I can mobilize few people. This Lin Chen is a useful talent."

"It's just an ancient body-refining method. If he can really help me after the ruins are opened...what does this little thing mean?"

After hearing this, the old man nodded and said nothing more.

……

On the other side, after Lin Chen returned to Danfeng, he immediately explored the jade slip.

Just as Jiang Liqian said, the jade slip records the practice of an ancient cultivator on the Soul-Devouring Root.

After Lin Chen read it carefully several times, he had a general understanding of it.

Swallow the spiritual root, swallow the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and return the great power to one's own body.

Those who possess this spiritual root can not only use spiritual stones to practice, but also offer spiritual stones to the spiritual root.

At the same time, the Soul Devouring Root is also divided into several stages:

In the first stage of the Soul-Swallowing Root, all five elements are complete, and at the same time, the cultivation speed of each root is comparable to that of a real root.

In the second stage, all five elements are complete and the speed of cultivation is comparable to that of earth spiritual roots.

In the third stage, all five elements are complete and the speed of cultivation is comparable to that of natural spiritual roots.

Stage 4…

According to this jade slip, the ancient cultivator had only cultivated to the third stage at most.

In fact, the spiritual energy of the spirit stones required for the fourth stage is too terrifying.

"To reach the first stage, according to what the ancient cultivator said, one needs to offer... 100,000 spirit stones?"

"The second stage requires... a million spirit stones?"

"The third stage consumes an entire spiritual vein..."

Even with Lin Chen's strong financial resources, he was powerless in the face of such astronomical figures.

"After several previous transactions, plus that windfall... my entire fortune is only 50,000 spirit stones."

"Alas, what's even more difficult is... before reaching the first stage, you won't get any return for the spiritual stones you consume."

Lin Chen sighed lightly. Before he had 100,000 spirit stones, it was impossible for him to even think about reaching the first stage of the Soul Devouring Spirit Root.

"According to the current situation, I may be able to save up 100,000 spirit stones within half a year and reach the standard of the first stage of the Soul Devouring Spiritual Root..."

Lin Chen murmured.

Although this Soul Devouring Root has a terrifyingly high upper limit, it is also a bottomless pit that can swallow soul stones!
For cultivators who are at the foundation-building stage, forming a golden core, or even the Nascent Soul stage, this Soul-Devouring Root is far less practical than the Heavenly Root.

But for cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage, this Soul-Devouring Root is a supreme qualification.

Because there are more spirit stone resources that can be mobilized, it is also easier to improve the quality of spiritual roots.

In other words... this Soul-Devouring Root is the qualification for being invincible in the late stage.

"Right now, I can only accumulate spirit stones first..."

"With the support of the high-level martial arts world, it shouldn't be difficult to at least push the spiritual roots to the third stage."

Lin Chen thought silently, no matter what, it is never a bad thing to know that he has a special spiritual root.
