Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 8 Spiritual Materials
Mother Li came to the spiritual planting area and saw Father Li monitoring the situation in the spiritual planting area.

Although the extraction of spiritual energy from the spiritual plant area had been carefully calculated by the intelligent housekeeper Mei Yun, accidents must still be prevented.

"Have you asked about your son's spiritual roots?" Father Li asked softly when he saw Mother Li. He did not mention this matter yesterday when they celebrated Li Zhen's success in drawing Qi into his body.

"Zhen'er didn't say anything on his own initiative, so his spiritual roots probably aren't that good. It's better not to ask, so as not to make him sad!" Mother Li replied with a sigh.

The fairyland's spiritual root confidentiality law is nothing more than human feelings. It is not against the law for parents to find out their children's spiritual roots. Of course, this also requires the child to be willing and cannot be forced.

"As long as my son can become a monk, there is nothing I can't be satisfied with!" said Li Fuqiang with a smile.

Of course, he was somewhat unwilling to accept this. The highest value of his spiritual roots that he had measured back then was 10 points. One point higher would have been a low-grade spiritual root. However, it was this slight difference in spiritual roots that prevented him from breaking through to the middle stage of Qi training.

"Don't mention the matter of spiritual roots in front of Zhen'er!" Li's mother instructed.

Li Zhen was unaware of his parents’ conversation. He was sitting in the practice room, beginning his first practice at home.

As he opened the spiritual energy supply, he discovered the huge gap between the spiritual energy of a first-grade low-grade spiritual vein and that of a first-grade high-grade spiritual vein.

After one hour of practice, the effect at home is about one-third of that in school.

"Li Zhen, you still have thirty seconds to practice!" Mei Yun's voice appeared in the practice room.

Li Zhen stopped practicing. Although the effect of his practice was only one-third of that in school, if he practiced one-third more every day, it would be a lot after accumulating over time.

He went to take a shower, and while doing so he opened the personal information on his identity bracelet and saw that the total amount of spiritual energy had increased to 0.13.

"Mei Yun, verify your identity and connect to the monk network!" After returning to his room at night, Li Zhen instructed the smart butler.

The bedroom wall immediately showed the login status. Li Zhen stared at the wall, and the world of the monk network was about to open to him.

As he successfully landed, the picture on the wall spread out and turned into a virtual three-dimensional image, placing him in it.

He was in a virtual street lined with shops.

There are multiple modes to choose from when logging into the monk network. Currently, Li Zhen can choose between anonymous state, invisible state and real state.

In an anonymous state, others will see him with a universal face and figure, and his own information will not be exposed, but he can communicate with other monks.

The invisible state blocks all monks on the monk network and only communicates with intelligent systems in the network, such as smart sales in stores.

The real state is to use the identity of Li Zhen to appear in the cultivator network, and even enable information detection of others to let other cultivators know their own public information.

Li Zhen chose to remain invisible. He was too young and had not even reached the first level of Qi Refining. Besides, he did not want others to know what he was going to do.

He stood on an empty virtual street, the result of shielding the rest of the monks.

His first target was the library, where he could find information about the monks.

As he was thinking, his figure disappeared from the spot and then appeared in front of a table with a display screen inside the library.

"Query the information related to spiritual roots!" Li Zhen issued an instruction to the library's intelligent system.

Soon, a lot of information about spiritual roots appeared on the screen in front of him. Perhaps the information about spiritual roots was not confidential. Even though he had the lowest authority among the cultivators, he could still query a lot of relevant information.

After selectively looking through the information about spiritual roots, he finally learned about the 'Seventeenth Edition of the Basic Qi Training Method' for practicing medium-grade wood spiritual roots on 21.17. In a first-grade superior spiritual vein environment, the effect of his one-hour practice seemed to be much stronger.

That is to say, in terms of cultivation, his speed of cultivation exceeds that of cultivators with the same spiritual roots.

He was not satisfied and found a way to improve the effect of his practice in the library. It turned out that ordinary spiritual veins usually contained the five elements of spiritual energy.

There is a formation called the Qi Gathering Formation, which can transform the five elements of spiritual energy into a certain specific spiritual energy.

If he is surrounded by wood-attributed spiritual energy while practicing, then the effect of his practice will naturally be greatly improved.

However, purchasing a Qi Gathering Array is even more expensive than purchasing a magical instrument of the same quality. Not to mention him, even his parents cannot afford such a huge expense.

Li Zhen was still thinking about the dark green branch in the storage space. He did not swallow this dark green branch. He had swallowed a dark green branch before, which increased his wood spirit root value. This good treasure was in his hands anyway, and he could swallow it at any time.

He continued to search in the library, and after comparing many sources, he still couldn't find any information related to the dark green branches.

Thinking that he could only look up information about the Qi training stage, he began to doubt whether the dark green branch was a second-level spiritual material.

In order to get the dark green branch, several monks risked their lives to go to the hospital to snatch it. This shows that the dark green branch is extremely valuable, otherwise how could several monks be willing to take the risk.

Li Zhen suddenly thought of an advertisement for a store he saw when he first entered the virtual street of the monk network. It was a magic weapon store that had an appraisal business, and the first appraisal for new customers was free.

He exited the monastic network, then took out a dark green branch from the storage space, and re-entered the monastic network holding the dark green branch.

The monk network would only scan the monk's personal belongings and could not scan the inside of space items, not to mention that his storage space was a bit weird and was not a real space item used by monks.

He held the dark green branch and found a shop called 'Jiu Tian Group Magical Instruments Store'. In his impression, Jiu Tian Group was Intercontinental Group, and the 'Jiu Tian Group Magical Instruments Store' in Yunxi County was just a branch.

Of course, as Li Zhen’s cultivation level increases, his authority in the cultivator network will also increase. At that time, he can even directly enter the Jiutian Group’s main store to visit, but now he can only log in to the stores in this county.

He first looked at the merchandise on display in the store, then he couldn't help but shook his head and gave a poor, bitter smile.

He used to have some pocket money, but he rarely bought things on his own, so he saved more than 300 credit points.

But the cheapest first-grade inferior magic weapon in the store costs more than 20,000 credit points, which is simply beyond his affordability.

At this time, he regretted that he only took the rune pistol when he was in the hospital and did not put away the knife-like magic weapon, which was worth tens of thousands of credit points.

Fortunately, the first appraisal of the item was free, otherwise he would have no choice.

"I want to identify the spiritual object!" Li Zhen said to the store's intelligent system.

Jiutian Group needs a large amount of materials to refine magical instruments, and purchasing various refining materials is one of their business scopes.

"Hello, monk, please place the spiritual object that needs to be identified on the identification table!" said the intelligent system.

Li Zhen placed the virtual dark green branch on the identification table. Although the dark green branch was virtual, it completely replicated the external features of the real dark green branch.

A ray of light flashed on the appraisal table, and after a few breaths a set of information was displayed above the appraisal table.

"

Item Category: Wood Spiritual Materials

Item Name: Black Wing Wood
Item grade: Second-level inferior

"

Li Zhen was stunned. After seeing the identification result of the lower grade of the second level, he knew that the black-winged wood was a big trouble.

It is not clear whether all the cultivators who knew about the black-winged wood were dead. Any Qi-cultivating cultivator would go crazy for the wealth of the second-grade low-grade spiritual material.

Even for cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, the same is true. The stronger the cultivator, the higher his demand for resources.

"The accuracy of this appraisal result cannot be guaranteed. If you want an accurate appraisal, please go to the Jiutian Group's magic weapon store for a physical appraisal. If the item is authentic, our group will purchase it at the best price!" the intelligent system added.

Li Zhen no longer had the heart to listen to this, and he immediately chose to log off.

A few breaths after he went offline, Manager Wang of the Jiutian Group's Magical Instrument Store in Yunxi County received a reminder.

Manager Wang set up a system whereby whenever a spiritual object reaches a certain value in the monks' network, no matter it is being appraised or sold, he would be reminded to pay attention to it immediately.

So shortly after Li Zhen took out the second-grade low-grade black-winged wood for identification on the cultivator network, Manager Wang received a reminder.
