Chapter 176.

Heavenly Spiritual Root, is the limit of a cultivator’s qualifications.

Once a cultivator reaches the Heavenly Spiritual Root, then no matter what clan he is in, he can immediately be recruited as a true disciple, a shut-in disciple, and the first disciple of the Patriarch……. It is a cultivation qualification that countless cultivators can only dream of.

tan san’s own qualifications were extremely low, so of course he was quite obsessed with this.

Nor did he hesitate, he directly swallowed a Star Origin Spirit Fruit.

At that instant, a special feeling of coolness quickly surfaced in his heart, and then he felt that since the spirit fruit, there was a special energy that quickly passed through the layers of obstacles and directly entered the depths of his mind, pouring into his meditative ‘God’.

Immediately after that, in the next moment.

He directly saw his spirit roots through that dash of ‘God’.

Five spiritual roots of almost equal length rose up into the sky.

Below them were jagged spirit roots of other attributes.

And those five spirit roots that almost ascended to the sky were none other than his origin spirit roots, the Five Elements Spirit Roots.

“Last time, after continuously swallowing the Star Origin Spirit Fruit, my Five Elemental Spirit Roots had already risen to ‘forty-two’ points, steadily reaching the level of a dual-attribute Spirit Root Qualification.

It’s just that I don’t know what level it will be raised to this time.”

With this thought in his heart, tan san hurriedly controlled this special energy and poured it into one of the Attribute Spiritual Roots.

Buzz!

In an instant, that one Spiritual Root belonging to the Wood Attribute was rapidly pulled up.

Forty-three, forty-four, forty-five ……

“It only increased to forty-nine?”

tan san was slightly stunned and was not surprised.

Continuing to eat the second, the third, until he ate the sixth Star Origin Spirit Fruit, wanting to increase his five elemental spirit root qualifications in a balanced manner, he suddenly realized.

It wouldn’t increase!

The special energy poured on top of the corresponding spiritual root, and it simply couldn’t be fused in, instead it naturally dispersed and then surged into the other spiritual root qualifications in a balanced manner, being absorbed by the other spiritual roots.

“This ……

In other words, the limit of Spiritual Root Qualification is forty-nine points?

After reaching this limit, it can no longer be increased and absorbed by external forces?”

tan san’s brows furrowed deeply.

The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Diffusion is forty-nine, and one of them is vanished?

“Perhaps, it’s because I boosted the five elemental spiritual roots at the same time.

If I had only upgraded a single attribute spiritual root, I might have been able to raise it to over seventy and truly be on par with other Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivators until it was transcendent.

Now, because of the simultaneous enhancement of five attribute spiritual roots, this is why I was unable to break through the ‘forty-nine’ and reach above fifty?”

tan san’s heart quickly produced a glimmer of clarity, and he had no choice but to control this trace, this strand of Star Source Spirit Fruit, to surge towards the other Attribute Spirit Roots.

After a brief moment of reflection, he quickly came to a decision.

Thunder attribute spirit root!

The Thunder Technique could be said to be his strongest spell tactic nowadays.

Whether it was the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, the Lesser Five Elements Thousand Thunders Technique, or the Five Thunders Blast, they were all thunder-attribute spells of unparalleled power.

It would also inevitably be his main cultivation method for the next long period of time to protect the enemy, so it was naturally impossible for him to give it up.

Thus, once his thunder attribute spirit root was upgraded, then the power of his thunder spells would inevitably be upgraded as well.

Even the speed of the corresponding cultivation of thunder attribute spells would thus take a qualitative leap.

Thus, he hurriedly controlled that special energy and quickly surged it into the thunder-attribute spirit root.

Immediately, it made the lightning attribute spirit root, which only had four points, climb rapidly, quickly reaching ten points, eleven points, twelve points, and finally fifteen points before coming to a stop.

“This Spiritual Root Qualification, it’s easy to raise it at first, but later on, if you want to raise it, it will be much harder.”

tan san had known this, and looking at the two Star Origin Spirit Fruits that were still left, he did not hesitate, and likewise quickly entered his stomach.

And poured that special energy, all of it into the top of the Thunder Attribute Spirit Root.

Twenty, twenty-five, thirty ……

After reaching thirty-three, it actually reached its limit once again, and could no longer be raised.

The remaining attribute energy, he simply poured into the yin and yang two spiritual roots above, all from three points, raised it to five points.

“It’s over.

This time, the Five Elements Spiritual Roots were raised to the limit of ‘forty-nine’ points by me, and even the Lightning Attribute was raised to the limit of ‘thirty-three’ points by me, although I can still continue to raise the other attribute Spiritual Roots with the help of the Star Origin Spiritual Fruit.

But it’s too late.

And it’s completely unnecessary.

Continuing to raise other attribute spiritual roots will only result in waste.

Spirit Roots, not the more the better.”

tan san lamented and finally opened his eyes.

Then almost in an instant, he sensed the difference between the heaven and earth around him.

There was a special sense for everything, the five elements of heaven and earth.

It was as if, the world that was originally shrouded in a layer of mist had suddenly become clear.

The five elements of aura that drifted disorderly in the heavens and earth were even more clearly visible in his eyes.

He only slightly beckoned.

The five elemental auras, like moths to a flame, quickly surged towards him.

He only slightly operated the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique, and these Five Elements Spiritual Qi, swiftly surged into his body, as if a thread, a wisp of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, rushed towards his body on its own.

So smooth and silky.

“At this time, my cultivation speed, surprisingly, can still be more than doubled from the original base.”

tan san took a deep breath and came to this conclusion almost instantly.

One must know that this time, his Spiritual Root Qualification had actually not been raised by much.

Forty-two to forty-nine only.

But forty-nine, was the limit, so that his mind was enlightened, and he couldn’t help but have a special feeling for the five elements of heaven and earth.

So that the five elements of aura, all natural affinity to him, will involuntarily surge toward him.

“No wonder.

No wonder Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivators are so different.

As if ‘Heaven and Earth’ were helping them, how can their cultivation speed not be fast?”

tan san really felt some emotion.

Then he tentatively cast a five element spell.

Fireball Spell!

In an instant, a fireball surfaced in front of his eyes and was thrown forward.

Surprisingly, there was no need for him to continue injecting spiritual energy at all, and the fireball that he made was naturally absorbing the fire-attribute spiritual energy in the heavens and earth, spontaneously burning up.

Although the Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi injected was far less than what he had consumed.

However, it was enough to extend the sustaining time of his fireball by 30%.

In other words, the power of the same fireball was actually correspondingly increased by about thirty percent.

“Moreover, in this way, when I learn the corresponding Five Elemental Spells, my introductory speed will also be much faster.”

As if he had thought of something, tan san hurriedly came to the Spell Cultivation Square, immersed his mind, and began to cultivate the Second Grade Beginner Level Spell, Hell Flame.

There were also one hundred and thirty-seven runic structures for the Hell Flame spell, because he had mastered fewer runic structures of the same attribute due to his majoring in Thunder, only thirty-two of them in fact.

After tan san familiarized himself with it, he directly began to cultivate.

With his mind immersed, his spiritual sense condensed one rune structure after another.

One, two, three ……

An ease was clearly felt.

Originally complex runic structure, at this time condensed, as if already familiar with the general, a little thought, will be able to understand the true meaning.

Then, when it was condensed, it was very smooth.

For the first time, thirty-five of them were condensed before failing directly due to a structural ordering error.

The second time, forty-seven.

The third time, fifty-four.

The fourth time ……

Though again, it would constantly fail.

But after failing, he was often able to quickly realize what was wrong with it, and as if with divine help, he was often able to quickly clear his thoughts.

Half an hour, one hour, one and a half hours ……

Two hours later, tan san successfully condensed the last spell structure, successfully.

The spiritual energy in his body quickly surged into it.

Hell Flame +3

As the spell took shape, tan san quickly threw it forward.

Boom!

Above the ground, a hot black flame erupted in an instant, and as soon as it appeared, it scorched the air with a burst of distortion, and the scorching heat baked the earth, causing the hard and incomparable mud and rocks to melt and thicken.

The temperature of the surroundings, moreover, continued to rise, and in the blink of an eye, it rose by dozens of degrees.

“This is the second grade early stage fire technique, Hell Flame.

In terms of power, although it is not as powerful as the Five Thunder Blasts.

However, its scorching heat, and continuous splattering and burning ability, is definitely more frightening and headache-inducing than the Thunder Technique.”

tan san felt somewhat surprised.

To a certain extent, this spell was actually more intimidating than the Thunder Law.

Not to mention, this spell, could also be used for alchemy.

Of course, he also knew that the Inferno Flame was powerful enough, and the temperature of the flame was extremely high, enough to melt second-grade and third-grade spirit materials.

Unfortunately, its stability was slightly weak, requiring him to control it at all times, and the consumption of spiritual energy was horrifying, not the best alchemy fire.

“The best alchemy fire is only heaven and earth spirit fire.

Such as the Nanming Li Fire, the Earth’s Mind Fire, the Red Fire in the Water, and the Yin Yang Fire …… Unfortunately, all of these spiritual fires are very rare, and it is very difficult to collect them.

It’s not that good to obtain.”

tan san shook his head with emotion.

Three days later.

The sky had once again darkened.

After tan san packed up his things, he closed the large formation tightly and left the door once again.

“This time, the black market is surprisingly situated in the Tianhu Mountain region.

It’s more than three hundred miles away from my place.”

tan san lamented, naturally not giving up on traveling there.

He had his own purposes for traveling to the black market this time.

For one, it was naturally to get the Foundation Condensation Pill formula that he had ordered from that alchemist named Wang Tianshuo last time.

Secondly, it was to inquire about the Foundation Establishment Dan formula, and if there was one, naturally, he would need to order it as well.

As for the third, it was from within the mission hall to see if there was any news about the five five elemental spirits for which he had set a bounty in the first place.

In this way.

After tan san exited the Little Peak Mountain Spiritual Land, he executed the Divine Traveling Technique and traveled all the way, quickly rushing towards the direction of the black market.

One hour later.

From afar, tan san saw a huge and incomparable lake.

It was none other than the largest lake around the Divine Wind Valley’s workshop, the Heavenly Lake.

If he remembered correctly, their Water Cloud Pavilion had properties here.

When Tang Yuyan took over as the pavilion master, she sent Shen Xinyue to sit here and deal with the disputes with the Lai family, just because the Lai family is a foundation cultivation family, in terms of absolute strength, far superior to the Water Cloud Pavilion cultivators, so it has been losing out, losing a lot of spirit stones.

“Now, this Lai Family, Lai Yongsheng, has already fallen, and many of the Lai Family disciples have been lost in the Divine Wind Valley.

It is estimated that nowadays, the surroundings of Tianhu Mountain should have fallen into the hands of my Water Cloud Pavilion as much as possible, right?”

tan san optimistically estimated, and with a slight discernment of direction, once again headed in the direction of the black market.

After the burning of an incense stick.

tan san’s figure appeared in a mountain pass.

Then he stepped on a clearing.

In the next moment, he only felt a flash before his eyes, and he had already appeared at the entrance of a bustling marketplace.

It was the black market.

Nowadays, he was very familiar with the black market.

First, he strolled around the outer bazaar.

Familiarizing himself with the prices of various types of spirit materials in the market.

“The prices of magic weapons, spirit materials, spirit pills, and even talismans have all been lowered quite a bit.

As expected, once the Divine Wind Valley siege ended, everyone harvested a lot, and in the hands of many cultivators, there were more ‘dirty things’, so naturally, the prices of the corresponding treasures have all decreased.

However, this is also a normal fluctuation, no need to worry about anything.

Unfortunately, most of them I can’t use.”

tan san lamented and also looked for a guard to receive the voucher for the stall.

As for that alchemist Wang Tianshuo?

He had actually seen the other party, who seemed to have just arrived as well, and was also fiddling with the stall at this time, placing bottles of spirit elixirs and dan formulas, all on his stall.

However, tan san did not directly look up.

Since the other party had already come, he didn’t need to worry too much, and could just look for them afterwards.

Then, he looked for a direction where he could see the other party’s stall and similarly set up his stall. Only then did he place all the things he was planning to sell, one by one.

First of all, it was the many trophies that he had obtained in the Divine Wind Valley this time.

Most of them were magic weapons of various grades, adding up to 50 or 60 pieces, making them very eye-catching.

Then there were spirit pills.

Although most of them were low-rank spirit pills, they were large in number, complete in all categories, and affordable, definitely attracting a large number of low-rank cultivators over.

Finally, he took out some spirit talismans.

Most of them were actually the loot he had acquired, which of course included the Sealing Thunder Talisman and Summoning Talisman that he had drawn himself.

However, the number was not large, there were only three Sealing Thunder Talismans, and the Summoning Talismans were relatively more, but they only added up to fifteen, all of which he had placed a ‘high price’ on, directly marking them up to the auction price from the last auction.

Because of the small number, there was no need to worry about anyone suspecting his identity.

Instead, they would think that he was a cultivator who had been lucky and had purchased the spirit talisman from the ‘Fenghua Superior’ before.

As a matter of fact, in the black market, he had seen more than one person who had taken out a spirit talisman made by ‘Master Fenghua’ and sold it for a rather high price.

And when he took it out, it was actually mainly to attract attention and guide some cultivators over to buy it.

In fact, the effect was good.

Cultivators who walked by would inevitably ask about it when they saw it.

Although most of them were scared off by the high price, but his stall is not only sealing thunder talisman and summoning talisman, other magic weapon spirit elixir spirit talisman, can be beautiful and cheap.

More or less, can always sell some.

Moreover, among the asking price, there are also a lot of luxury customers.

Even the sealing thunder talisman, he was last auction price, sold out two.

So.

One hour later.

tan san saw that it was getting late, and although most of the spirit pills had not been sold, and there were still a few magic weapons left, he also closed the stall.

Then first, he naturally walked out of the black market.

After half an incense stick, it took on a different face and re-entered the black market.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, good to see you again!”

tan san revealed his appearance from the last time he entered the black market and stood at Wang Tianshuo’s stall.

“It’s Fellow Daoist Changwang.

I’ve been waiting for a long time, and I thought you wouldn’t come over this time.”

Wang Tianshuo was also overjoyed to see tan san and said happily.

“Something delayed me, and this place is rather remote.”

tan san smiled and explained, and then without hesitation, directly asked, “Fellow Daoist Wang, I don’t know that Base Condensation Dan Dan formula ……”

Of course, before asking, he had since put on a soundproofing spell in passing.

“It was prepared a long time ago.

A Foundation Condensation Dan Dan formula is priced at ten thousand lower grade spirit stones.

Last time, I received a deposit of 3,000 lower-grade spirit stones from you, this time, you only need to make up 7,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and this Foundation Condensation Pill formula will be yours.”

Wang Tianshuo was also prepared, with a flip of his hand, he directly took out a jade slip.

What was recorded within the jade slip was thought to be the Foundation Condensation Dan formula.

tan san wasn’t afraid of the other party’s deception, and directly took out seven thousand lower grade spirit stones.

Then he also got the Foundation Condensation Pill formula.

There was no hesitation at all, his mind immersed, directly into the formula.

At this moment, tan san after a long time of alchemy, even more many spirit dan upgraded to the realm of perfection, for the dan Dao, medicinal theory and alchemy when all kinds of changes and techniques of understanding, has long reached a very high level.

This was evident from his alchemy rank at this point.

Alchemy: Alchemy (Minor Achievement 11/400)

Rescue Dan Perfection, Rejuvenation Dan Perfection, Energy Storage Dan Perfection, Nourishing Yuan Dan Perfection, Rejuvenation Dan Perfection, Healing Dan Perfection, Shun Qi Dan Perfection, Bright Eyes Dan Perfection, Gong Yuan Dan Perfection, Blood Concentration Dan Perfection, Blood Creation Dan (Introductory 23/100)

Ten Spirit Pills consummated, plus one Spirit Pill Introductory.

Directly, his alchemy cultivation was raised to the realm of minor accomplishment.

Naturally, he was able to easily recognize whether the Dan formula was correct or not.

Therefore, after his mind sank into the jade slip and carefully compared it to confirm that the pharmacology was correct, he revealed a smile on his face and said, “Fellow Daoist Wang is indeed a trustworthy person.

This Foundation Condensation Pill Dan formula, there is no mistake!”

“On this point, Fellow Daoist Changsheng actually doesn’t have to worry at all.

I, Wang Tianshuo, have never acted in an open and honest manner in my life.

Naturally, I won’t take out a fake Dan formula to cheat people.”

When Wang Tianshuo heard this, he also smiled, then he planned to pack up his stall and leave directly.

His stall was very good to pack up, it was all Spirit Pills and Dan Formulas and other things, with a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, soon one item after another, they were all included in his storage bag.

“Fellow Daoist Wang.

Don’t be in a hurry.

Last time, Dao friend mentioned the Foundation Building Dan Dan formula …… I don’t know if it is accurate.

If you can really get it, I, here, do have some interest in it.”

Seeing this, tan san quickly opened his mouth and asked.

“Hmm?

Fellow Daoist Changsheng still wants the Foundation Establishment Dan formula?

It seems that the person behind you, is also not simple ah, and the figure is even not small.”

Wang Tianshuo was stunned, then his face revealed a seemingly smiling color.

“Could it be that when Daoyou Wang sells something, he still has to investigate the background?”

tan san’s face sank as he asked in a cold voice.

“That’s not true.

But the Foundation Establishment Dan formula, after all, is different from the Foundation Condensation Dan formula.

Even if it’s me, it’s not that easy to get it.”

Wang Tianshuo’s face, slightly concentrated for a while, before he gritted his teeth and said, “The Foundation Building Dan Dan Formula, I can get it for you.

But it requires a deposit of ten thousand lower grade spirit stones.

Also, in terms of time, it can’t be as fast as this Foundation Condensation Dan formula.

It will take at least three months.

After three months, I will definitely help you get the Foundation Building Dan Dan Formula in your hands.”

tan san’s heart was overjoyed at the words, but his face did not show the slightest bit, and he hurriedly asked, “Where is the trading place, or the black market?

In addition, ten thousand lower grade spirit stones is not a small amount.

How can I guarantee that you won’t just take my spirit stones and leave, never to return?”

Although there had been a successful transaction between the two of them, one could not be too defensive.

Ten thousand lower grade spirit stones were also not as good as the three thousand he had before, so he naturally needed to guard against one or two of them.

“This jade tablet, called the Substitute Jade Tablet, is a disposable defense artifact that can block the full force of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator’s blow, and is worth far more than 10,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

I’ll leave this jade token with you for now.

Three months later, when I return with the Foundation Establishment Dan formula, you will return this substitute jade token to me, and then we will complete the transaction normally, how about it?”

Wang Tianshuo pondered briefly and finally gritted his teeth and said.

This was the only thing of value he had on him.

A previous encounter had caused him to suffer heavy losses, and he had also lost everything.

It was only then that he had no choice but to sell some Dan Formulas in exchange for spirit stones.

Anyway, the formulae could be copied and sold for a sum of spirit stones, so he had nothing to lose.

Now in order to get his blood back and exchange for enough spirit stones, he had since wanted to facilitate this transaction as well.

“A substitute jade token?

Good!”

tan san’s gaze flickered and he also quickly agreed.

He had heard of this Body Substitute Jade Medallion, which was able to block the full force of a cultivator at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and it was indeed a treasure that could save one’s life.

Even if he took 10,000 lower grade spirit stones to exchange it, he would not be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, he did not hesitate and directly took 10,000 lower grade spirit stones over.

Of course, he also took this substitute jade token in his hand.

After slightly sensing it and confirming its authenticity, he was also slightly relieved.

Only then did tan san bid farewell to Wang Tianshuo and walked slowly to the middle of the mission hall.

“Steward Du.

I wonder if there is any news about the mission I set out last time?”

tan san then quickly found Steward Du Ping Du in the black market and asked with a straight face.

“Five elemental spirits?”

Cultivators all had good memories, and Steward Du Ping Du also quickly remembered the task Zhou Chang Wang had enacted last month, so he first replied back, and then also rummaged within a jade slip, quickly opening his mouth to say, “In fact, last month, there was a cultivator who gave a reply.

Claiming that he had news of the Golden Origin Spirit.

Then it was this time in the black market, there were also two people who claimed to have news of the Earth Core Fire and the Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil.

Among them, the cultivator who left a message from that Golden Origin’s Prana said that he needed to meet with you formally before he could tell the specific news.

As for the news of the Earth’s Heart Fire and the Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil, each copy of it will require a payment of two thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones from you, Dao Friend.

Does Fellow Daoist wish to extract them?”

“The Spirit of Golden Origin? The Fire of the Earth’s Core? Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil?”

tan san was stunned, not realizing that there were actually three copies of the news about the five elemental spirits, his heart couldn’t help but rejoice before he hurriedly opened his mouth and said, “Extraction!”

“According to that cultivator, he had seen the Earth Fire Heart appear on Tianming Island.

It’s just that the Heart of Earthly Fire appeared within the volcanic magma, and the internal temperature was extremely high.

And the heart of the earth’s fire is not fixed, he is only three years ago, saw that once, after a few times in the past, and once a full guard for more than half a month, have not seen again.

So in the end whether there really is the heart of the earth’s fire exists, in fact, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

I here have that friend of the road marked the specific location map, friend of the road paid two thousand lower grade spirit stone, this jade, is your.

Don’t worry, above the jade slip was deliberately left a sealing prohibition, except for the marking of the friend, and no second person to see.

Our black market’s reputation is still trustworthy.”

Steward Du flipped his hand and took out a jade slip, and said in a hurry.

tan san nodded, confirming that the sealing prohibition was still intact, and handed over two thousand lower grade spirit stones.

Although it was impossible to confirm whether it was true or not, at least having a piece of news was much better than him being at a loss before.

“As for the news of that Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil ……”

As Steward Du spoke, seeing tan san directly handing over another two thousand lower grade spirit stones, his face was a smile as he continued, “Actually, just last month.

There was a cultivator who, in the process of betting on a treasure, opened a treasure weapon.

According to that cultivator, while that cultivator opened the treasure weapon, the clay that sealed the dusty treasure weapon was in fact not an ordinary thing, it was precisely the Xuan Huang Spirit Clay that you, Taoist Friend, had placed a reward on.

You only need to find the cultivator who bet on the treasure in the first place, there should be a high probability, to find that Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil.

On this, there is the specific information and image of that cultivator labeled by the fellow Daoist who provided the information, so I believe that it will be able to provide you with some help.”

With that, he handed over another jade slip.

When tan san heard it, his heart was struck with oddness.

Unexpectedly, this so-called news of the Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil had originated from himself.

In other words, I’m looking for myself?

Last time in the black market, wasn’t he the one who participated in the treasure betting and obtained a treasure weapon along with a share of Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil totaling seven taels.

Because he had put away the Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil in the first place, and most of the cultivators’ attention was on the treasure weapon, there weren’t many cultivators who realized that the soil was precisely the Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil.

Only ……

Almost in a flash, he thought of Xu Zhisheng and that Water Moon Cave cultivator Gu Qingfeng who had come up to ask for the price.

Could it be that the one who provided the information this time was one of those two?

However, he didn’t look deeper into all this, as these two thousand lower grade spirit stones would be wasted if they were wasted.

He didn’t know beforehand that the source of the other party’s information was himself.

He could only eat this dumb loss, then asked with a calm expression, ”What about the Golden Origin Spirit?

That cultivator said he wanted an interview, but what is the reason for that?”

“In today’s black market, that cultivator did show up and specifically approached me to mention it.

If Fellow Daoist Everlasting asked, he agreed with you to discuss it after the auction.

I wonder if you are willing to wait until the end of our black market auction?”

Steward Du didn’t hesitate and spoke directly.

“Good! I hope the other party’s information is accurate enough.”

tan san nodded, then glared at Steward Du and said, “Otherwise, my Spirit Stones aren’t that easy to take.”

“Please rest assured on this point, fellow Daoist.

This cultivator, who is extremely strong and has always had an excellent reputation, the information is bound to be accurate.”

Steward Du hurriedly explained.
