123: Chapter 123 Creating Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Veins

"Young Master Zhao, in order to protect your internal organs, has been nourishing your body with Spiritual Power every day. I have thought it over carefully, and it must be that during this time, some kind of peculiar change occurred, causing you to develop a Spiritual Root." Lv Zhu said with some emotion, "If this is true, Young Master Zhao must be careful."

Zhao Feng was shocked by this news, "Spiritual Roots can be created?" From known Cultivation knowledge, Spiritual Roots are Innate and fixed; how could they possibly be changed in an Acquired manner?

However, the so-called Spiritual Root is merely a function where certain parts of the body can attract Spiritual Qi and, after long-term contact, gradually master it to refine it into Spiritual Power. The Spiritual Root is not a fixed organ or part, but they all share one common point: they attract Spiritual Qi.

It just so happened that Zhao Feng's Spiritual Power was very special; it also possessed Life Qi. Staying in Liu Xuan's internal organs for a long time, it was only natural for this Spiritual Power to take root and sprout there. And in the world of Spiritual Qi, this densely existing Spiritual Power would automatically attract surrounding Spiritual Qi, which formed the Spiritual Root phenomenon.

After reasoning this out in his mind, Zhao Feng accepted it calmly, revealing an unsurprised appearance.

"It seems Young Master Zhao anticipated this long ago. Such an ability would definitely be a great enemy to the Yao Race. Young Master Zhao must be careful and cautious, and never let it leak out." Lv Zhu looked at Zhao Feng with admiration and said.

"Oh! You two, so you are both cultivators! You've lied to me for so long, I'm angry!" Liu Xuan listened for a while, finally understood the fact, and said, pretending to be angry.

"Little Xuaner, be good. Look, what is this?" Lv Zhu took an object from her bosom and said with a smile.

Both of them looked over, but Zhao Feng knew that this was a Jade Slip.

"What is this?" Liu Xuan did not know; she only felt that this jade piece was very beautiful, looking smooth and round—it was clearly good jade at a glance.

Lv Zhu glanced at Zhao Feng, pointed casually, and the Jade Slip stuck to Liu Xuan's brow, with threads of spiritual fluctuation rippling. Liu Xuan showed pain at first, but after a short while, she recovered.

"It's truly magical. A lot of knowledge suddenly appeared in my brain." Liu Xuan opened her eyes and said happily.

"This is the most basic 'Swallowing Spirit Technique'. I don't understand the knowledge of you Human Race cultivators too well. Little Xuaner, if you have any questions, you should ask Young Master Zhao." Lv Zhu smiled and said.

"Okay. Hmm? What do you mean by 'you Human Race'!" Liu Xuan replied casually, then immediately reacted and said loudly.

"You never asked, did you?" Lv Zhu laughed coquettishly, turned around, and walked out the door, "If you have any questions, ask Young Master Zhao. Come eat something delicious later, same place."

Liu Xuan stared at Zhao Feng with her beautiful eyes, waiting for Zhao Feng's explanation.

Zhao Feng coughed dryly and said, "As you heard, Manor Master Lv Zhu is indeed a Yao cultivator, and I am also a cultivator."

"Benefactor, you actually hid it from me." Liu Xuan said coquettishly.

"You never asked, did you." Zhao Feng mimicked Lv Zhu's reply. Watching Liu Xuan's arched eyebrows and feigned anger, he laughed repeatedly, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Zhao Feng then told Liu Xuan the story of Lv Zhu and Master Guangji. Thinking of Lv Zhu's longing for Master Guangji over the past few hundred years, her fear of the Yao Race identity had disappeared; instead, she felt pity. Hearing the emotional parts, she couldn't help but shed tears and feel saddened.

"That's enough. Since Lv Zhu has already introduced you to the door of Cultivation, let me clear up your confusion." Zhao Feng saw she was sad, so he quickly ended Lv Zhu's story and changed the subject, "Currently, there are two ways of Cultivation that I know of: Buddha Cultivation and Truth Cultivation. Their strength should be about the same, but their foundations are different."

Zhao Feng told Liu Xuan about the two Cultivation methods and let her choose. If she chose Truth Cultivation, she could continue practicing the 'Swallowing Spirit Technique', though with her five Spiritual Roots, the speed probably wouldn't be very fast.

If she chose Buddha Cultivation, her Cultivation could progress rapidly, but Buddha cultivators must keep the precepts, otherwise, they cannot calm their true heart.

"I will choose Truth Cultivation." Liu Xuan looked at Zhao Feng and nodded without hesitation.

Zhao Feng had no doubts; for a young woman, keeping precepts and becoming a nun was undoubtedly very difficult.

"The so-called Truth Cultivation generally divides the Realm into nine stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Emergence, Divided Soul, Body Integration, Undergoing Tribulation, and Mahayana. Each Realm is divided into three grades: early, middle, and late stages. As for me, I am currently at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."

Zhao Feng told her the basic situation of the Cultivation Realms. Watching this woman who was listening seriously, Zhao Feng suddenly thought of Luo Ying in his mind, "At that time, she also told me like this."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhao Feng continued to explain. Fortunately, Liu Xuan was a martial artist and understood Meridians very well. Of course, this kind of teaching by Zhao Feng was unique on Yaoling Planet at this time. Cultivators on Yaoling Planet rarely thought about why they should do this; they only practiced rigidly according to the Cultivation Technique.

After a morning's work, Liu Xuan's 'Swallowing Spirit Technique' was considered to have entered the door. Under concentrated intention, wisps of warm feeling gathered in the Dantian; this was a necessary step for Qi Refining.

"Alright, there are already signs of Spiritual Qi gathering. As the saying goes, haste makes waste; Cultivation also requires a balance of tension and relaxation. Let's go, let's go eat." Seeing that Liu Xuan was starting to lose focus, Zhao Feng signaled her to stop and not to Cultivate anymore.

The lunch Lv Zhu made herself was very delicious. Although it was all vegetarian, it made both of them eat to their heart's content and exclaim that it was satisfying.

After having the little maid clean up, Lv Zhu brought the two of them to a quiet place.

Liu Xuan felt nothing, but Zhao Feng could feel that the density of Spiritual Qi nearby had suddenly increased by a level, "Where is this?"

Lv Zhu smiled and said, "Little Xuaner just happens to need Spiritual Qi for Cultivation. Although Young Master Zhao has profound Cultivation, you are not in a Bottleneck period right now and can still quickly absorb Spiritual Qi to make a Breakthrough, so this Spiritual Vein is temporarily lent to you two."

"Spiritual Vein?"

"Yes, although this Spiritual Vein is not very large, it is more than enough for a few people. The two of you can go in and Cultivate, just don't destroy the Spirit Stones inside. It's not that I'm stingy; once the Spirit Stones are removed, the Spiritual Vein will gradually wither." Lv Zhu explained.

"Many thanks to the Manor Master for your kindness."

"Thank you, Sister Lv Zhu."

Both expressed their sincere thanks.

"Don't be polite, go in quickly. Every day, I will have the little maid send food over. You two should hurry up and Cultivate." Lv Zhu waved her hand.

This Spiritual Vein was undoubtedly located within the mountain range. The gathering of Spiritual Qi for a thousand miles made the animals and plants here shimmer with spiritual light; perhaps in a few hundred years, these creatures might have the possibility of becoming Yao.

The Spiritual Vein was located underground, but stone chambers for Cultivation were built inside, which could provide people with rest and convenience. Although the road was rugged and dark, in the world of Spiritual Qi, this was a vibrant green world.

It seemed that this was a Wood-element Spiritual Vein.

Practicing Wood-element Cultivation Techniques here was most suitable; it was a paradise for those with Wood-element Spiritual Roots. Both Zhao Feng and Liu Xuan had multiple Spiritual Roots, so it was quite suitable. After all, it was an opportunity kindly provided by Lv Zhu, so the two did not waste time and began to Cultivate against the clock.
