The Five Spirit Roots have an exceptionally slow cultivation speed, consu a lot of resources, and face dangers such as attribute conflicts and True Qi exploding the body in later stages, leaving the future bleak.
Of course, the Five Spirit Roots are not a dead end, and there is still a glimr of hope.
In his mory, there are two thods.
The first thod is to take a Fourth Grade Creation Fruit, which can transform Five Spirit Roots into Three Spirit Roots; if a Fifth Grade Creation Fruit is taken, it can be transford into Dual Spirit Roots.
The second thod is to comprehend the principle of Five Elents Mutual Generation and Five Elents Transformation, balancing the five attributes to form Five Elents Mutual Generation.
"The forr thod is not feasible. The Fourth Grade Creation Fruit is insignificant, and the Fifth Grade Creation Fruit is too expensive. Only the second thod is left! Five Elents Mutual Generation, the first step is to balance the Five Elents!"
Lu Xuanji pondered.
Regarding his son Lu Fan’s Spirit Root talent, the Wood Attribute is five inches, Water is two inches, tal is one inch, Fire is one inch, and Earth is one inch.
In terms of attribute compatibility, Wood Attribute is the highest, followed by Water Attribute, and the rest are diocre.
The imbalance of the Five Elents leads to conflicts among the Five Elents, and Five Elents Mutual Inhibition is like having five crabs in a bamboo basket, restricting each other and progressing slowly.
To enhance the Spirit Root Attribute, only the Five Elents Pill will suffice.
The Five Elents Pill cos from Ancient Sword Island, as recorded in the mory of the Pure Yang Sword Spirit. In Ancient Sword Island, there are cultivation techniques of different attributes that require corresponding attribute compatibility. The Yin Yang Sword Scripture requires Dual Spirit Roots; the Three Talents Sword Scripture requires Three Spirit Roots; the Four Symbols Sword Scripture requires Four Spirit Roots.
But when the Sword Island disciples found their Spirit Roots insufficient, they took the Five Elents Pill to modify their Spirit Roots, adding more attributes, changing Celestial Spirit Root to Dual Spirit Root, Three Spirit Roots, Four Spirit Roots, etc., to fit the techniques and cultivate the subsequent techniques of Sword Island.
"The Five Elents Pill requires eighteen kinds of herbs. So of the herbs, my Lu Family has, but so need to be purchased externally!"
Lu Xuanji pondered, summoning the Elder of the Pill Hall.
The elder of the Pill Hall looked at the Pill Formula, nodded, and went down to gather materials.
In just less than three days, all eighteen kinds of materials were complete.
This is the benefit of having the backing of a clan.
If it were a Loose Cultivator, wanting to refine a furnace of elixir would require going outside to find the elixirs, and rely finding the materials would take three to five months; but with a powerful backing, Lu Xuanji didn’t need to personally go to collect materials, just needed to call on the people below to gather most of the materials.
Activating the Pure Yang True Fla and starting the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, he began refining the pill.
The Five Elents Pill is only a Fourth Grade Elixir, and it’s not difficult to refine.
In just three days, he opened the Pill Furnace, and inside, seven pills were shining, gleaming with brilliant light.
He summoned Lu Fan, and Lu Xuanji said, "Son, take this pill and see the situation!"
Handing over a pill.
"Yes!"
Without asking anything, Lu Fan directly took the pill.
Then, he began to refine the dicinal power.
Lu Xuanji’s Divine Thought flickered as he began to observe the change in his son’s Spirit Root.
What are Spirit Roots?
The root of spirituality!
All living beings have souls, and all souls have corresponding attributes; so souls are close to water, hence Water Spirit Root; so souls are close to earth, hence Earth Spirit Root; so souls are close to fire, hence Fire Spirit Root.
Many cultivators have souls with mixed and impure attributes, mixed with multiple attributes.
This mixture and impurity affect the speed of cultivation.
Only the Celestial Spirit Root, where the soul is pure, and attributes are pure, is most beneficial for cultivation.
At this mont, under his Divine Thought observation, in Lu Fan’s soul, green occupies half, followed by the most black, with white, red, and yellow intermingling.
But after taking the Five Elents Pill, the dicinal power began to seep into the soul, changing the proportions of various colors, with white, red, and yellow increasing.
After an hour, the dicinal power was completely absorbed.
At this mont, Lu Fan’s Spirit Root Attributes are Wood: five inches, Water: three inches, tal: three inches, Fire: three inches, Earth: three inches.
Then, taking a second pill, the soul attributes changed again.
When taking the third pill, Lu Fan felt a booming in his head.
Wood: five inches, Water: five inches, tal: five inches, Earth: five inches.
The Five Elents are balanced!
Lu Xuanji had another thought, handing over the fourth pill.
Lu Fan took it, but there was no change, still maintaining Wood: five inches, Water: five inches, tal: five inches, Earth: five inches.
"Is it the limit?"
Lu Xuanji frowned.
It’s as if a person can only be given two bowls of rice; the third bowl cannot be consud no matter what.
Evidently, his son Lu Fan’s Spirit Root limit is five inches.
This bottleneck cannot be broken by his son.
"Practice a bit and see your speed!"
Lu Fan nodded, began to operate his cultivation technique for training, and his speed increased a bit, but the improvent was not significant.
In the past, it was the speed of Five Spirit Roots, and now it is still the speed of Five Spirit Roots.
"Son, try the Five Elents Transformation, tal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates tal!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"Yes!"
Lu Fan nodded, attempting the Five Elents Mutual Generation.
Woo woo woo!
Suddenly, Spiritual Qi surged, and the speed began to increase.
The speed is comparable to Three Spirit Roots.
"Father..."
Lu Fan said excitedly.
Now the cultivation speed is comparable to Three Spirit Roots, much faster than Five Spirit Roots.
If compared, Five Spirit Roots is like a person walking, while Three Spirit Roots is like riding a horse running.
"Indeed, the Five Elents Mutual Generation is not as fast as the Celestial Spirit Root’s cultivation speed and is only comparable to Three Spirit Roots!"
Lu Xuanji pondered, sighing in his heart.
It’s like two university students, one only needs to study one major, while the other needs to study five majors, with not much difference in IQ.
After five years, the forr is more outstanding and has a higher level of expertise.
If that student finds the connection between the five majors, no longer studying them separately but instead researching them as a whole, the speed will be a bit faster, but still not as good as the forr.
"This is the ’Five Elents Sword Scripture,’ it can be cultivated to the late Nascent Soul... As for how far you can go, it depends on your creation!"
Lu Xuanji pointed a finger, passing on a Five Elents Technique.
This is a technique of the Sword Dao.
In Sword Island, there was a peerless prodigy, whose talent was not inferior to Pure Yang Daoist Monarch, Yin Yang Daoist Monarch, etc., this proud genius self-created the ’Five Elents Sword Scripture’ and advanced all the way.
When reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, they failed in creating a technique and t their demise.
This technique can only be cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Beyond the late Nascent Soul, there is no path ahead... Lu Fan has to continue on his own.
"Father, thank you very much!"
Lu Fan expressed his gratitude.
As for the lack of a path beyond the late Nascent Soul, he won’t think about it, nor can he imagine that far.
The future is too distant, and the present is too near, so it’s better to focus on the matters at hand.
Lu Fan stepped down.
Lu Xuanji, on the other hand, was lost in thought, pondering how to transform Spirit Roots and modify the physique.
