Chapter 133 Spiritual Root Advancement
With the opening of the Yingxiang acupoint, half of the twelve meridians in Fang Chen's body have been opened.
That is, the three yin meridians of the hand and the three yang meridians of the hand.
In order, the next step is the three yang meridians of the foot.
However, since he had just made a breakthrough, it was impossible for him to immediately impact the Foot-Taiyang Meridian. Instead, he needed to consolidate his cultivation.
It was no different from previous breakthroughs, the mana cyclone grew to four inches, the mana doubled, and the range of the spiritual power increased by another meter.
Thanks to the fact that he was able to condense his spiritual thoughts at the first level of Qi training, Fang Chen's spiritual thoughts had a range of four meters greater than that of cultivators at the same level. Now, he was comparable to cultivators at the eleventh level of Qi training.
Taking this opportunity, my spiritual thoughts probe into my dantian to check the information of my spiritual roots.
Name: Five Elements Spiritual Roots
Level: First-class medium
Features: Aura affinity
Aura affinity: can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and store it in the body.
"Huh? Spiritual roots advanced?"
This was indeed something Fang Chen had not expected, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Is it because of a breakthrough in cultivation? But normally, isn't the middle stage of Qi training the fourth to sixth level of Qi training?"
When Fang Chen's spiritual root turned into a first-grade intermediate grade, the first thing he thought of was the middle stage of Qi training.
There may be some correspondence between the two.
But then I felt something was wrong.
The middle stage of Qi training generally refers to the fourth to sixth level of Qi training. The levels before that are called the initial stage or early stage, and the seventh to ninth levels are the late stage.
All levels above ten are called the perfection of Qi training, and the thirteenth level is separately distinguished as the great perfection of Qi training.
Fang Chen broke through the seventh level of Qi training. Logically speaking, the level of his spiritual roots should have become the first-class upper grade.
Spiritual plants can be divided into low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade.
Even if it was distributed evenly, it should have been advanced to the first-level intermediate grade at the fifth level of Qi training, not now.
For a moment, Fang Chen was very confused.
"Could it be that every time six of the twelve meridians are opened up, the spiritual roots will advance once?"
After thinking hard for a long time, he came up with a more reasonable explanation.
If you think about it this way, from the first to the sixth level of Qi training, the spiritual roots are all of the lower grade of the first order, and from the seventh to the twelfth level, they are all of the middle grade of the first order.
Only the spiritual roots that have reached the great perfection of Qi training can be of the first-class superior quality.
Then, after successfully building the foundation, it will advance to the lower level of the second stage.
It also fits Fang Chen's current situation.
"As for whether it is correct, it depends on when the next spiritual root advancement is."
Fang Chen made note of this matter and stopped worrying about it.
It will not be too late to study the mysteries in this area after verifying whether this hypothesis is true.
As for now, he is more concerned about what kind of changes will be brought to him after the advancement of his spiritual roots.
However, he noticed that after becoming a first-grade intermediate spiritual plant, the characteristics of the spiritual root had changed.
Although both have the same aura affinity characteristic, the original effect was to slowly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, but now it absorbs the aura of heaven and earth.
The word "slow" was removed.
This change is quite intriguing.
Fang Chen also planned to try out the difference.
The method was naturally the very traditional meditation practice. Before the breakthrough, he had practiced for several hours in a row and was well aware of the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy.
That is why, when trying this kind of meditation, the contrast before and after is immediately apparent.
The speed of absorbing spiritual energy is almost twice as fast as before. Not only that, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed is also twice as fast as before.
Calculated in this way, in an environment with the same concentration of spiritual energy, four times the amount of spiritual energy can be absorbed in the same period of time.
This is a terrifying improvement.
"It would be great if we could record this spiritual affinity and give it to others."
After the experience was completed, Fang Chen couldn't help but come up with this idea. Unfortunately, this was an unrealistic fantasy.
Even if you record the characteristics of your spiritual roots, you will only gain spiritual energy affinity characteristics.
The changes in the characteristic descriptions of spiritual roots are simply the enhanced effects caused by the advancement of spiritual roots.
If other spiritual roots want to have this strengthening effect, they must practice diligently to the seventh level of Qi training. There is no shortcut.
No, there is a shortcut.
Fang Chen suddenly remembered a book of martial arts.
Blood-sucking magic.
Ever since he learned that it was a bait released by the Blood Demon Palace, he has been keeping his distance from it and gave up his original idea of mobilizing the entire nation to donate blood.
So far, he and Lin Qingshan are the only two people in the entire Yuehua Fairy City who know about this martial arts method.
Originally, he was curious about the mechanism of the Blood-sucking Divine Art to increase the speed at which spiritual roots absorb spiritual energy.
Now it seems that it should be using a large amount of blood to stimulate the advancement of spiritual roots, thereby achieving a faster cultivation speed.
Assuming that a Qi-refining cultivator possesses a second-order low-grade spiritual root, even if the attribute of his spiritual root is the worst pseudo-spiritual root of the five elements, he will have a cultivation speed comparable to that of a cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root.
Therefore, the Blood-sucking Divine Art can indeed be called a manual for counterattack for low-level cultivators.
No wonder it is called divine power.
At least the authentic blood-sucking magic in the Blood Demon Palace is absolutely qualified to be called that.
"However, using blood to promote the growth of spiritual plants is ultimately an unorthodox method. I have abilities related to spiritual plants, so I should research a more feasible method for advancing spiritual plants."
Fang Chen also set a goal for himself.
Since the demon cultivators were able to research the blood-sucking magic that could strengthen their spiritual roots without having such ability, he had unique conditions and should try different methods.
And he has already achieved his first results.
That is the aura affinity characteristic.
Generally, spiritual roots are either aura-affinity (yang) or aura-affinity (yin). After he bestows the spiritual roots with the aura-affinity characteristic, he allows individual spiritual roots to balance yin and yang and achieve the effect of dual cultivation.
This has been verified.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Fang Chen checked and bestowed upon other people’s spiritual roots and spiritual energy affinity characteristics.
Instead, after the residents of Yuehua Fairy City began to live in symbiosis with the Body-Refining Blood Vine, relying on the Body-Refining Blood Vine's affinity for spiritual energy, their cultivation speed became much faster than before when they only relied on spiritual roots.
Speaking of which, after becoming inspectors, the six Sea Demon Gang supervisors slowly accumulated enough contributions and exchanged them for Blood Spirit Bone Vine, which was then strengthened by Fang Chen into Body-Forging Blood Vine.
At present, they have completely turned to Dharma cultivation, since their attainments in physical cultivation are not high anyway.
However, as a result, Dian Chu was the only physical cultivator left in the entire Yuehua Fairy City.
It’s strange to say, the Blood God Vine clearly has the characteristic of affinity with spiritual energy, but Dian Chu, who is the incarnation of the Blood God Vine, still cannot sense the spiritual energy.
“I wonder when the Blood God Vine will be able to advance to the first-level intermediate grade.”
Thinking of the Blood God Vine, Fang Chen could feel that it was also constantly absorbing spiritual energy to grow, but the progress was slow.
It has always been a first-grade, low-quality spiritual plant.
The improvement that Fang Chen experienced seemed insignificant after he reached the seventh level of Qi training.
Fang Chen is also looking forward to when it can be advanced to the first-level intermediate grade like the spiritual roots, which will definitely allow him to increase his strength again.
After a while, he put aside these random thoughts and continued to practice.
I originally thought that after the spiritual roots were advanced, the speed of cultivation would also be greatly improved.
But when he began to open up the acupuncture points of the Foot-Taiyang Meridian, he immediately felt a huge obstacle.
Compared to breaking through from the sixth level of Qi training to the seventh level, the difficulty has increased by more than one level.
"No wonder my spiritual roots advanced after I broke through to the seventh level of Qi training. It turns out that the difficulty of cultivation also increased at the same time."
Fang Chen smiled bitterly, realizing that the benefits brought by the advancement of spiritual roots would be offset by the difficulty of breakthrough.
This also made him more determined to seek methods to advance his spiritual roots.
