Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 38 Fire Spiritual Root

With the realm breakthrough, the physical body will also receive a thorough Yijing marrow cleansing. Gu Mo had been using the perfect level cleansing technique to cleanse himself before, which made Gu Mo's physical body stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. With the realm breakthrough, his physical body was further improved.

“It’s still three times.”

Three hours later, the effect of Yijing marrow-cutting brought by the realm breakthrough disappeared. Gu Mo felt his own situation and stepped into the second level of Qi Refining. His spiritual power and physical strength were still three times that of the same level. This meant that Gu Mo now had at least the combat power of the third level of Qi Refining.

The first level of Qi Refining is three times, and the second level of Qi Refining is also three times. This does not mean that Gu Mo has not improved. On the contrary, Gu Mo can still maintain three times the spiritual power and physical strength of the same level cultivators. This is already a very impressive improvement.

If there is no improvement, when Gu Mo enters the second level of Qi Refining, relying on his foundation in the first level of Qi Refining, he should only be able to achieve twice the spiritual power and physical strength of the cultivators of the same level.

In addition, the technique that Gu Mo practiced was just a relatively common Qi Gathering Technique, and the fact that it could produce such an effect was enough to prove that the perfect-level cleansing technique that Gu Mo had been using on himself had a significant effect.

"I was a little impulsive just now."

After successfully entering the second level of Qi Refining, Gu Mo stood up and stretched his body, feeling the slight tingling in his meridians, and secretly warned himself in his heart.

After mastering the Breath-Containing Technique, Gu Mo chose to directly complete a small circulation in one breath. This certainly allowed Gu Mo to break through to the second level of Qi Refining in a very short period of time, but this also caused tremendous pressure on the meridians.

Fortunately, Gu Mo's meridian strength was far superior to that of other cultivators due to the blessing of the perfect-level cleansing technique, which allowed him to break through successfully. If it were someone else, his meridians would probably be torn, and the spiritual power would rush out of the meridians directly, running wild in the body, eventually causing injury.

Thanks to the strong meridians, although no serious consequences were caused, the meridians were still damaged a little due to the huge pressure they had to bear all of a sudden. However, this minor injury would heal quickly, so there was no need to worry too much.

After getting familiar with the power of the new realm, Gu Mo used the breath-concealing technique, and the aura of the second level of Qi Refining in his body quickly dropped, and finally stayed at the first level of Qi Refining.

Gu Mo waited for a long time to break through the second level of Qi Refining, but for a menial disciple, this breakthrough speed was still a bit fast.

Gu Mo planned to wait until a small number of his peers had entered the second level of Qi Refining before he could display his level of Qi Refining.

Why do we say a small number of people, rather than the majority of people, because not all menial disciples can step into the second level of Qi Refining within a few years. More menial disciples need to spend more than ten or even twenty years before they can step into the second level of Qi Refining.

If one is lucky enough to save up some resources for cultivation, perhaps one can make an effort to reach the third level of Qi Refining during one's lifetime, but this is already the limit for most menial disciples.

Spiritual root talent and cultivation resources are the biggest obstacles on the road of cultivation for menial disciples. Unless they can get the opportunity, it is possible to break through the shackles and step into a higher realm.

This also makes many monks fight for opportunities without hesitation. The biggest cause of death for monks is mostly death in the fight for opportunities. Gu Mo is so cautious in order to hide his great opportunity.

"To celebrate your master's breakthrough in cultivation, I'll reward you with an extra portion of sun essence today." Gu Mo's eyes swept towards the koi in the water tank. Now Gu Mo could only find this koi to share the joy of his breakthrough in cultivation.

After these days of feeding, half of the koi's scales turned golden, and as the number of golden scales increased, Gu Mo discovered that the koi had become much smarter, which meant that it was evolving into a true spiritual beast.

"Clap clap clap!"

Seeing the two portions of sun essence in Gu Mo's hand, the koi smacked its lips happily, stuffed the two portions of sun essence into its mouth, and Gu Mo walked out of the hut. "The output of the spiritual field this time is much less." Gu Mo looked at the mature spiritual jade rice in the spiritual field. During the planting of this season of spiritual jade rice, Gu Mo was fully focused on comprehending the breath-holding technique, and he was quite lax in the management of the spiritual field, which resulted in some minor insect pests not being dealt with in time, resulting in a reduction in production.

But even if the yield is reduced, Gu Mo estimates that the final yield should be around 600 kilograms. After all, the spiritual field is guarded by an illusion array and pea shooters, which together can resist 80% to 90% of insect pests and rodent damage. Even if the yield is reduced, it is not much.

If other spiritual farmers dare to learn from Gu Mo, their production will be reduced by at least 70% to 80%.

"Swipe!"

In no time, Gu Mo finished harvesting the spiritual jade rice in the spiritual field. After his realm was raised, Gu Mo's spiritual power increased several times compared to when he was at the first level of Qi Refining. With abundant spiritual power, he could naturally cast spells with ease.

The spiritual field was harvested. Gu Mo put all ten sunflowers, five pea shooters and the koi in the water tank into the black fog space, and then rode a crane to the Lingzhi Hall to register the output.

Ling Zhi Tang.

Zhao Qiancheng, who usually rarely shows up, is now following a young girl with a warm smile on his face, "Junior Sister Yuan, why are you here just now?"

"Senior Brother Zhao, I was busy practicing before, and only now I have time to come here." The girl's words were full of politeness.

After all, although the two called each other brother and sister, this was only the second time they met. The first time was at the initiation ceremony of the inner disciples a few months ago.

In Qinglu Sect, only inner disciples have a special initiation ceremony; outer disciples and menial disciples do not receive such treatment.

As a deacon of Lingzhi Hall, Zhao Qiancheng also enjoys the treatment of an inner disciple. Therefore, he and the inner disciples are regarded as brothers based on their cultivation.

As a foundation-building cultivator, Zhao Qiancheng didn't need to be so enthusiastic towards an inner sect disciple who had just joined the sect. However, this inner sect disciple had a very rare fire spiritual root.

The vast majority of cultivators have a balance of the five elements, but there is a small group of people in which one attribute accounts for more than 50% of all attributes. This can be called an attribute spiritual root.

And according to the different proportions, attribute spiritual roots are also divided into different grades. Those with a proportion of exactly 50% are low-grade attribute spiritual roots, 60% are medium-grade, 70% are high-grade, and if it reaches 80%, it is the best grade.

As for 90%, this is almost non-existent. Even if it does exist, the baby will die soon. The extreme imbalance of the five elements will cause many problems. In the mortal world, such babies will die soon after birth.

Only those born in a great immortal cultivation sect with profound cultural heritage have a chance of surviving. Even if a baby with 90% of a single attribute appears in an immortal cultivation family with weak cultural heritage, it will not be able to survive.

This is also why the few powerful single-spiritual-root cultivators in the history of the immortal cultivation world all came from top sects.

At this moment, the person next to Zhao Qiancheng is a middle-grade fire spiritual root. The attribute spiritual root is not necessarily stronger than the spiritual root with balanced five elements. In fact, the overall situation is not as good as the one with balanced five elements.

However, attribute spiritual roots have unique advantages in cultivating corresponding attribute skills and spells. For example, the progress of this girl with middle-grade fire spiritual roots in cultivating fire-attribute skills is definitely no worse than that of high-grade spiritual roots.
