Dao Seed Immortal Lord

The Great Spirit Sword Technique was the offensive technique that Li Bai focused on practicing.

This spell is an advanced version of the Spirit Sword Technique. Not only is its power greatly increased, but more importantly, it can simultaneously condense multiple sword energies for area attacks. The downside is that it consumes a lot of mana.

Li Bai specially set aside an open space in the cave and used spirit wood stakes as targets to repeatedly practice the Great Spirit Sword Technique.

At first, he could only condense two or three sword energies at the same time, and his accuracy was very poor, missing the mark seven or eight times out of ten.

But as his skill improved, he was now able to condense six sword energies simultaneously, greatly increasing their power and easily tearing apart a piece of ironwood as thick as a human head into dust.

"Six sword energies are still not enough." Li Bai frowned and pondered as he looked at the spirit wood stake that had been shattered by the sword energy.

The Great Spirit Sword Technique described in the inheritance can simultaneously condense nine sword energies when mastered, overwhelming the sky and possessing astonishing power.

He is now... not far from achieving mastery, and may even be on the verge of perfection.

However, Li Bai was in no hurry. Cultivating magic was not something that could be accomplished overnight; it required gradual refinement over time. He would make a little progress every day, and little by little, he would eventually achieve his goal.

I just don't know how powerful the Great Spirit Sword Technique at its perfect level will be.

Half a month passed quietly in the daily work and practice.

That evening, as usual, Li Bai entered the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror Cave Heaven to prepare to water the spiritual plants with spiritual liquid.

As soon as you step into the cave, a surge of spiritual energy, a mixture of water, earth, and metal, hits you, so dense it's almost tangible.

Li Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked to the edge of the spirit field.

The aquatic flowers are in bloom.

Three aquatic plants were planted in a small puddle at the edge of the spiritual field. At this moment, the petals had fully opened, turning pale blue and as thin as cicada wings, and they floated gently on the water.

Each flower is the size of a baby's palm, with fine spiritual patterns on the edges of its petals, shimmering with a soft halo under the light of the grotto.

At the center of the flower, droplets of liquid are faintly condensed; that is the most essential part of the aquatic flower – the Water Dew, which is said to nourish the body, heal wounds, and detoxify.

The Ganoderma lucidum also emerged from the sacred soil, its cap peeking out.

The three Ganoderma lucidum plants each have a cap the size of an adult's fist. They are yellowish-brown, thick, and solid, with fine lines on their surface, resembling the veins of the earth.

The edges of the cap are slightly curled, and there is a layer of fine spores on the inside. It is dark brown and has a faint earthy smell.

The roots of the golden sage grow even more luxuriantly.

Five stalks of Vajra Grass, each nearly a foot tall, with pale golden leaves, as firm as iron, and edges as sharp as blades.

The surface of the leaf has a layer of fine golden veins, like the veins of metal, which shimmer in the light.

Li Bai reached out and gently touched the leaf. His fingertips felt a cold, hard texture, and he couldn't even scratch it with a little force.

He increased his strength and barely managed to draw a shallow white mark on the edge of the leaf.

"Good heavens, this hardness is almost comparable to real spirit metal." Li Bai exclaimed in amazement, his eyes filled with joy.

The three medicinal herbs matured at the same time.

Li Bai took a deep breath, squatted down, and carefully picked a water flower.

The petals felt cool and smooth to the touch, like a piece of fine silk.

The dew in the center of the flower almost spilled out as the flower was picked and gently swayed.

Li Bai quickly used a small jade bottle to catch the dew and collected it.

This is a good thing; we might need it someday.

"I hope these three spiritual herbs can also obtain the Dao Seed."

hum.

The white light of the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror appeared and swallowed the pale blue flower.

A moment later, a Dao Seed, surrounded by a pale blue halo, condensed deep within his mind.

[Water Spiritual Seed: First-tier, low-grade Dao Seed, slightly increases the affinity of the Water Spiritual Root with spiritual energy.]

Become!

Li Bai was overjoyed and quickly picked some earth spirit mushrooms and dug out the roots of Vajra grass, which he then fed to the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror to refine.

hum!hum!

Deep within his mind, two more Dao Seeds condensed in succession.

[Earth Spirit Seed: A low-grade, first-tier seed that slightly increases the affinity of the Earth Spirit Root with spiritual energy.]

[Golden Spiritual Seed: A low-grade, first-tier spiritual seed that slightly increases the affinity of the golden spiritual root with spiritual energy.]

The five elements of Taoism—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are all complete!

Li Bai sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and calmed his excited emotions.

He closed his eyes, his mind sank into his body, and watched the five Dao seeds of different colors slowly rise and fall in the depths of his mind.

The five Dao Seeds—a pale green Wood Spirit Dao Seed, a crimson Fire Spirit Dao Seed, a pale blue Water Spirit Dao Seed, an earthy yellow Earth Spirit Dao Seed, and a pale golden Metal Spirit Dao Seed—are arranged in a circle, subtly connected to each other in some mysterious way, their auras resonating and flowing endlessly.

"Try activating them simultaneously."

With a slight thought, Li Bai caused all five Dao Seeds to simultaneously emit light.

boom!

In an instant, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the world converged on him, and the affinity of each element was greatly enhanced.

The previously dull perception of the pseudo-spiritual root has become much sharper, as if the whole world has become more welcoming.

He could clearly sense the five elements of spiritual energy floating in the air, distinguish the subtle fluctuations of each element, and even vaguely sense their direction of flow and the points where they converged.

The metal elemental energy is sharp as a sword, the wood elemental energy is gentle and long-lasting, the water elemental energy is soft and inclusive, the fire elemental energy is passionate and unrestrained, and the earth elemental energy is profound and steady.

Five kinds of spiritual energy, five different kinds of aura and spirituality.

Li Bai was immersed in this feeling, and he murmured in amazement, "The difference between just one level of spiritual root aptitude is so vast!"

This was the clearest he had ever perceived the true nature of the five types of spiritual energy since he transmigrated to the world of cultivation.

In the past, when he cultivated, he could only vaguely feel spiritual energy entering his body. He couldn't control what kind of spiritual energy it was. He had to absorb it into his body and then identify it before refining the wood spiritual energy within it. The efficiency was very low.

Now it's different. He can see the existence of spiritual energy, so when he cultivates in the future, he can accurately absorb the wood spirit technique, greatly increasing his efficiency.

This feeling is unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

Li Bai slowly opened his eyes, and a five-colored light seemed to flash in his eyes.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the resonance between the Green Wood Spirit Seed and the Wood Spirit Energy within his body, and an indescribable sense of fulfillment welled up in his heart.

"The pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements... can truly rival the aptitude of a genuine low-grade spiritual root."

Although it wasn't a true spiritual root transformation and improvement, with the assistance of the Five Elemental Seeds, his affinity and closeness to spiritual energy have now undergone a qualitative improvement.

This means that even without the help of Dao Seeds such as Qi Refining and Photosynthesis, his cultivation speed is already comparable to that of a true disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect who possesses a low-grade spiritual root.

With the assistance of Dao Seeds such as the Qi Refining Dao Seed, it was as if he was constantly consuming resources like Qi Refining Pills, and his cultivation speed increased even more than before...

Even ordinary disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect with low-grade spiritual roots would probably not be as fast as him in cultivation.
