135: The value of innate spiritual roots

Chapter 135: The Value of an Innate Spiritual Root

It is said that in the eyes of consumers in big cities, the star-quality ratio reaching 1:2 is considered the passing line for a high-quality scroll.

If it reaches that, it's a high-quality scroll; otherwise, it's categorized as a common scroll.

After all, the highest painting spirit Rank is only ten stars, but interdimensional monsters are far more than ten Ranks. In the depths of various interdimensional spaces, monsters of over a dozen or even twenty Ranks are everywhere, and it is said there are even monsters of thirty or forty Ranks.

Many top-tier scrolls even have a star-quality ratio of 1:3, or even 1:4.

Currently, the scrolls in Wu Xian's possession generally have a star-quality ratio of 1:2 or higher, meaning one painting spirit Rank corresponds to at least two times the monster Rank.

Among them, Yi Fire Serpent and Pivot Water Earthworm can reach 1:3 or higher.

As for the God of Wealth, he is at least at a 1:4 level.

Of course, this ratio is based on the premise that there is no clear restraining relationship between the two sides; restraining and special attack types are calculated separately.

Additionally, the star-quality ratio is not fixed. It will also increase with the improvement of the divine scroll (System) and the materials used for the scroll (hardware) in the future.

From the current performance of the Laurel Branch, it has the power to fight against Rank 9 and Rank 10 elite monsters.

But once it encounters elite monsters above Rank 10, it becomes difficult to break through their defenses.

As for common small monsters, it can easily break through their defenses within Rank 15, and its damage capability is also sufficient.

With a slight thought, the Day and Night Wandering Gods appeared, and under the effect of their mutual bond, they split into countless tiny wandering Souls, dispersing to conduct a large-scale investigation of the surroundings.

At the same time, relying on the inherent wealth-sensing ability of his Natal God of Wealth, he sought traces of wealth.

Along the way, he harvested several Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines containing special spiritual fluctuations, and incidentally killed two Rank 7 or 8 elite monsters.

Soon after, he successfully found a fresh Spiritual Vein.

"What kind of mine is so valuable?"

Feeling the rich and astonishing aura of wealth, Wu Xian secretly wondered.

He immediately released Pillar to start digging downwards on the spot. The deeper he dug, the more astonishing the aura of wealth became.

After digging nearly thirty meters, dense spiritual energy fluctuations had already permeated from the rock layers.

No way~ No way?

Wu Xian kept swallowing, somewhat daring not to believe it.

Finally, the moment the Spiritual Vein was revealed, Wu Xian completely lost his composure.

It was actually a Spirit Crystal Spiritual Vein!

I'm rich, I'm rich, this time I'm really going to be rich.

Spirit Crystals, as the hard currency of this world, are equivalent to the gold mines of this world.

"Huh~ The Laurel Tree also has a reaction?"

In his excitement, he quickly released the Laurel Tree.

The Laurel Tree, shining with a faint light, did not hesitate for a moment. Its massive roots instantly pierced into the Spirit Crystal Spiritual Vein. Vast and surging spiritual energy rapidly poured into the Laurel Branch as the roots absorbed it.

However, the reserves of this Spirit Crystal Spiritual Vein were ordinary. In less than half an hour, it was completely absorbed by the Laurel Branch, leaving nothing behind.

"So, it needs to absorb Spirit Crystals to advance its Rank?"

Seeing that the Laurel Tree's aura had already transformed into a silver scroll, Wu Xian couldn't help but be a little dazed.

[Incomplete Innate Laurel Tree]

Type: original (Golden embroidery)

Rank: silver scroll

painting spirit: ★★★★★★

Spirituality: 69

Innate Trait: Grand Yin Spiritual Root

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be enough to just absorb Spirit Crystals directly?"

While pondering, he took out a few Spirit Crystals from his cosmos sack and tried to let the Laurel Tree absorb them.

However, it was useless.

This shows that what the Laurel Tree absorbed was not the Spirit Crystals themselves, but the special "Spiritual Vein" behind the Spirit Crystal Spiritual Vein, which is the special power that formed this Spirit Crystal Spiritual Vein.

He then felt the Spiritual Qi converted by the Laurel Tree. While its quality was extremely high, it could even help him nourish his Natal Flying Sword, the Laurel Branch.

What's even more outrageous is that while Cultivating with the Spiritual Qi absorbed from the Laurel Tree, it could also bring a slight effect of comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

"Is this the value of an Innate Spiritual Root?"

Wu Xian unconsciously swallowed, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

In the future, while Cultivating spiritual power, he could also comprehend the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, thereby improving and optimizing the Law Veins of all his divine scrolls.

One word: Invincible—!

The key is that it is currently only an incomplete version of the Laurel Tree. If the "incomplete" label is removed in the future, the effect will be even more Heaven-Defying.

No wonder Siddhartha Gautama was able to attain enlightenment under the Bodhi tree back then.

This Innate Spiritual Root thing is inherently a BUG-level existence.

And as Wu Xian was excited, a series of abnormal alerts quickly came from the Day and Night Wandering Gods.

After checking through the divine scroll's shared vision, Wu Xian's scalp tingled.

The Laurel Tree had undoubtedly stirred up a hornet's nest, or rather, it had ruined the livelihoods of numerous interdimensional monsters in the vicinity in one go.

At this moment, many elite monsters and even leader-level monsters were surrounding him.

"Time to go~ Time to go~!"

Wu Xian quickly put away the Laurel Tree, stepped on his Flying Sword, and flew out of the deep pit, attempting to escape the scene.

However, not long after taking flight, he heard a buzzing sound like an engine from behind. It was actually a flying Rank 9 elite insect monster, completely green, resembling a giant flying mantis.

Its flying speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already pounced in front of Wu Xian.

Its powerful bladed legs were aimed directly at Wu Xian's vital points.

Fortunately, Wu Xian reacted quickly enough and had wealth Qi protecting his body. While narrowly dodging, he released General Wasp to deal with it.

General Wasp streaked like a phantom, stinging the flying mantis's back with a [Soul-Devouring Poisonous Sting].

The flying mantis instantly fell into a brief state of Soul disconnection, its wings stopped trembling, and it plummeted downwards.

General Wasp raised its insect net and scooped, transforming it into a net of condensed Yin Souls, binding it in mid-air.

Immediately, the Laurel Branch shot over, and together with General Wasp, cleanly resolved the battle, and conveniently put the flying mantis's corpse into his cosmos sack.

Looking down, dozens of high-Rank monsters had already arrived.

Rumble... A tremor came from deep underground.

Boom!

Thick, barrel-sized vines broke through the earth, swaying around like tentacles.

Upon closer inspection, they were not merely vines, but more like a Fusion monster formed by a "hybrid" of vines and worm. At the end of each vine-tentacle, a ferocious, petal-like mouth bloomed.

"Lord-Rank?!"

Wu Xian gasped, and hastily fled.

Judging from its aura, it was at least Rank 10, and possibly even Rank 11 or 12.

If he really had to fight, it wasn't impossible. After all, he had a massive amount of wealth Qi protecting him, plus the super form of God of Wealth possession, and a host of awesome scrolls. He could wear this thing down to death.

But there was really no need for that.

Who knew how many other high-Rank monsters were rushing towards this area, and such a big commotion would inevitably attract powerful experts from Yaoyang City.

"Get out of the way!"

Facing the vine worm that was trying to intercept and entangle him, the God of Wealth appeared beside him immediately.

Streaks of lightning descended, repelling the vine worm, and he successfully escaped.

Behind him, the ground rumbled as if being plowed.

The Lord-Rank vine worm was churning the earth, still chasing him, but unfortunately, it couldn't catch up to the speed of the Laurel Branch.

However, several flying plant-insect monsters were chasing quite closely.

At the same time, many people in the vicinity noticed the commotion and rushed to investigate the situation.

After seeing the scene, they all turned pale with fright and ran faster than anyone else.

Among them was a main team from the Elf Club.

While frantically fleeing, they didn't forget to report the situation to their master, "Quick, quickly contact the President. That Young Master from the Dojo will surely be very interested in this level of Fusion Lord."
