Chapter 26: Are spiritual roots also considered plants?

Judging from the name, it sounds like a weapon refining technique.

In fact, it is indeed deeply related to refining equipment.

This is a very strange weapon refining technique.

It is necessary to fuse the magic weapon with one's own spiritual roots. Every time one devours other people's blood to improve the qualifications of one's spiritual roots, or when one's cultivation level is improved, the strength of the magic weapon can also be improved at the same time.

It is similar to the innate magic weapon that can only be used in the Jindan stage.

The only thing is that it can be cultivated during the Qi training period. Considering that the average age of cultivators when they condense the golden elixir is around two hundred years old, it can be said that it is two hundred years ahead of the immortal techniques of the same level.

"Although these demon cultivators have a bad reputation, they have really developed a lot of good things."

Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh.

But on second thought, it's understandable. Those people have always been unscrupulous and don't take human life seriously. They must have done dissections on living people more than once, and they have probably never stopped experimenting on living people. It's normal that they can make these discoveries.

After all, Fang Chen’s modern medical progress in his previous life also benefited from the two world wars with heavy casualties.

As for the Immortal Sect, although they are not good people either, they still have to at least do some surface work and not do it openly.

When Fang Chen left Lianyunfang City, he also heard the two major sects describe the half red caused by their blood sacrifice as a naturally formed fire cloud.

Compared to the demon cultivators, they were at least willing to turn off the lights.

Due to the constraints, many research projects are lagging behind others.

"In fact, both attitudes are undesirable. If research on the human body can lead to progress, then there is nothing wrong with this kind of research. It should not have too heavy a psychological and moral burden, but it should not violate ethics either."

To Fang Chen, he holds a critical attitude towards both the demonic cultivators and the righteous sects.

One side appears hypocritical because of its heavy moral burden, while the other side is too brutal because of its unscrupulousness.

He is not against human experimentation, which is the only way for human progress.

It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

For humanity as a whole, to know oneself, one must understand the structure and mysteries of the human body in order to go further in the future.

However, basic moral ethics are the proof of what makes humans human. If we abandon these, the species that goes further can no longer be called human.

So the degree must be struck well.

Of course, it is too far-fetched to talk about these things now. Fang Chen is not the leader of all mankind, and it is meaningless to think about such questions. Therefore, he quickly turned his attention back to the Soul Fusion Forging Method.

Fang Chen wants to use the soul fusion and weapon forging method to merge the second-generation immortal palace with his own spiritual roots.

By then, the second-generation immortal palace will have the potential to grow and will be basically exactly the same as the real immortal palace.

"First, we need to find the spiritual root."

This is the first step in the Soul Fusion and Weapon Forging Method.

Fang Chen felt a little funny when he said this.

Although everyone has spiritual roots, and there are instruments in the world of cultivation to detect the properties of spiritual roots, the location of each person's spiritual roots in the body has always been an unresolved issue.

It sounds ridiculous. Spiritual roots are the foundation for cultivators to embark on the path of cultivation, but these cultivators don’t even know where they are.

However, things in the world are sometimes just so trifling.

The main reason is that knowing the location of spiritual roots is of no use to cultivators who have mastered the mainstream discourse in the world of cultivation.

Those who can hold high positions in the world of cultivation, needless to say, are all geniuses. Such people do not need to find ways to improve the qualifications of their spiritual roots, they only need to rely on their own spiritual roots to practice.

However, demon cultivators are different.

Do they take such radical actions because they want to?
of course not.

Their spiritual roots are too poor to join a decent sect, but they don't want to waste their lives on the path of cultivation like most casual practitioners.

So he went astray.

I hope to speed up my cultivation through various methods.

Improving spiritual root qualifications is a path that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

Since we want to improve our spiritual roots, we need to know where the spiritual roots are located in the human body.

Otherwise it's all just talk.

The reason why the demonic cultivators are hated by mainstream cultivators is that they have killed countless lives in the process of finding the answer to this question.

And then they actually figured it out.

The Bloodthirsty Divine Art was one of the results. In addition, many secret spells that matched the spiritual roots were developed, such as the Soul Fusion Forging Method.

Calming his mind and concentrating his attention, Fang Chen probed his spiritual thoughts into his body.

Li Ji did not practice the Soul Fusion Weapon Forging Method, not because he did not want to, but because he had no spiritual thoughts and could not find the spiritual roots in his body.

It was no different from the scene I had seen before. There were intertwined meridians, starting from the dantian, which looked like a jade plate emitting a faint colorful light, and spreading to every part of the body.

Among the countless meridians, three and a half are already emitting colorful colors.

It represents Fang Chen's cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi training, and he is steadily moving towards the fifth level of Qi training.

This scene gave people a sense of mysterious beauty, but Fang Chen had no intention of appreciating it at the moment and mobilized his spiritual thoughts into his dantian.

According to the research of the magic practitioners, the spiritual root is in the dantian.

Traditional monks believe that Dantian exists independently of the human body.

The evidence is that after practicing to the Purple Mansion Stage, the amount of true energy increases greatly, exceeding the carrying capacity of the Dantian. At this time, the capacity of the Dantian must be expanded.

If Dantian is located in the human body, after the capacity of Dantian expands, the lower abdomen of the human body should also expand.

However, this situation did not occur to those cultivators at the Purple Mansion level and above.

Therefore, the monks believed that Dantian was independent of the human body, located in a special space, and the meridians were the bridge between Dantian and the human body.

Another piece of evidence is that destroying only the flesh and blood in the lower abdomen will not affect the circulation of magic power or true energy.

This has been verified in many battles.

For this reason, traditional cultivators believe that the spiritual roots are also in this independent space, so they cannot be found in the Dantian which can be detected by spiritual thoughts.

This can also explain why spiritual roots will appear in the Dantian after a cultivator breaks through to the fusion stage. This is because the range of the Dantian has expanded to include the original location of the spiritual roots.

However, through repeated cruel experiments, the demon cultivators discovered that digging out the flesh and blood from the lower abdomen did have some effect on the circulation of magic power or true energy.

The speed at which mana or true energy is circulated will be twice as difficult as normal.

If the Dantian was in an independent space, there shouldn't be such an obvious impact.

So they put forward a new hypothesis that Dantian exists in the human body, but the space inside it is independent.

After the flesh and blood in the lower abdomen disappeared, the outer shell of the Dantian was broken, but the magic power or true energy was stored in an independent space, so it could still operate. It was just that without the restraint of the outer shell, it became difficult to control.

Therefore, they also discovered that the spiritual roots had actually always been in the Dantian, but they were in the space that had not yet been expanded.

And while the iron was hot, they developed a method to allow spiritual thoughts to enter this space.

Fang Chen concentrated his mind, the seals in his hands kept changing, his spiritual thoughts condensed into a shape of a root, stabbed at the edge of the currently perceptible Dantian range, and then continued to strengthen the intensity of his spiritual thoughts.

Finally, with a "click", his spiritual consciousness arrived at a place he had never reached before.

Everything here was shrouded in gray fog, rendering Ling Nian's 360-degree vision useless.

However, Fang Chen still found two places emitting faint colorful light.

One is where his five elements magic power is located, and the other is far away in the southwest.

So he controlled his spiritual thoughts and went there.

After walking for about five or six minutes, Fang Chen's spiritual sense saw a ball of colorful light.

"Is this the spiritual root?"

He thought curiously, and focused his mind on it, wanting to see it clearly.

Then a series of information came into his mind.

Name: Five Elements Spiritual Roots

Level: First-level lower grade

Features: Aura affinity (Yang)

Aura Affinity (Yang): Can slowly absorb the spiritual energy (Yang) of heaven and earth and store it in the body.

"What the hell? Spiritual roots are considered plants?"

Fang Chen couldn't help but cry out after sensing this information.
