Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 56 Excavation
Scattering beans to create soldiers is a wood-type supernatural power.

Coincidentally, Zhang Yan's Wood Element Technique had already reached perfection.

According to the Book of Water Elements, after the Water Element Technique is perfected, during the foundation-building stage, one comprehends the Daoist principles and achieves the supernatural power of the Water Spirit Technique.

This water elemental technique can simulate water-based supernatural powers.

Similarly, after practicing Wood Element Technique, it should also become Wood Spirit Technique, which can simulate the supernatural powers of the Wood element.

However, simulation is still just simulation.

It is impossible to achieve the same level of power as the original supernatural ability.

However, Zhang Yan is now able to directly comprehend other people's supernatural abilities.

In this way, after he establishes his foundation, the power of his simulated divine abilities can be greatly enhanced. Others who use the Wood Spirit Technique to simulate his abilities may only achieve 60% of the original power.

He can achieve 70%, 90%, or even 100%.

"However, if you want to comprehend other people's supernatural abilities, you need a magical artifact. It seems that magical artifacts do not have entries recording supernatural abilities."

He had come into contact with the magical artifacts used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, but unfortunately, they contained no entries about supernatural powers.

They are all spell entries.

"Is it because the magic weapon is of too low a grade, so it can't be upgraded at all?" After all, supernatural powers are things that come from observing the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

It's possible that a ritual implement made of inferior material cannot be inscribed with the relevant inscriptions.

"If that's the case, then we need to get on the search for the Golden Element Technique as soon as possible."

Zhang Yan has three spiritual roots: metal, wood, and water. He has already learned the water element technique, but he has not yet learned the wood element technique or the metal element technique.

Once you realize that you can comprehend other people's supernatural abilities, you must learn all the spells in the Yuanshu system.

He even wanted to learn fire elemental techniques, earth elemental techniques, and all other elemental techniques.

Although he didn't have the corresponding spiritual root and didn't receive any bonuses when casting spells, it didn't matter. Geniuses are willful; if they're going to learn something, they'll learn the whole thing.

"But what about this thing?" Zhang Yan looked at the little millet man in his hand; this guy was too weak.

If you take it out to fight, one punch from someone and it might cry for a long time.

Generally speaking, the spell of turning beans into soldiers will automatically turn into seeds once the magic power in the bean soldiers is exhausted.

Before it runs out, it can act according to the caster's wishes.

"Speaking of which, this can be considered a plant, right?"

What will happen if I use Wood Element Technique to induce childbirth?

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up.

He immediately sat cross-legged to recover his magical power, wanting to try whether the Wood Element Technique could induce the growth of this thing.

Magic power has been restored.

Zhang Yan looked at the rice figure in his hand, and then used the Wood Element Technique.

As the magical power surged, the rice-like figure in Zhang Yan's hand immediately began to grow stronger.

Yes.

He simply got stronger.

His physical appearance remained unchanged, but Zhang Yan keenly noticed that the rice-like man's aura had become stronger.

"it works!"

After experiencing the effect, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up.

Continue using the Wood Element Technique.

And the Nami people began to grow stronger and stronger.

The aura grew stronger and stronger.

In the end, he even reached the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.

"It's reached its limit."

Once Mi Ren reaches the sixth level of Qi Refining, he has already reached his limit.

Using the Wood Element Technique is useless now.

"Yeah, this guy is really ugly!"

Zhang Yan looked at the rice figure in his hand.

Because this guy's size didn't increase, only his muscles kept getting stronger.

So it looks quite ugly now.

"Let's test our strength."

Zhang Yan pointed to something as he spoke.

A sword aura ripped through the sky and slashed down at the rice-man.

"Ding!" Upon seeing the sword energy, the rice-man didn't even try to dodge. It simply raised its hand slightly, and the wooden structure on its body continued to grow.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a shield.

The terrifying sword energy struck it, leaving only a deep sword mark.

"interesting."

"Try attacking it."

His sword energy was just unleashed using the Golden Bamboo Sword.

Its power is equivalent to that of a normal Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator.

Unexpectedly, the rice man easily blocked it.

"Try your skills."

Zhang Yan gave instructions to the rice man.

"Shh!"

The rice-man didn't speak, nor could it. It simply stuck its hands into the ground and lifted it up forcefully.

Instantly, a large number of trees were uprooted and began to entangle Zhang Yan.

"interesting."

Seeing the trees wrapping around him, Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes, then waved his hand, and a flash of sword light appeared, directly severing the trees.

"Swish, swish, swish."

Several more whooshing sounds rang out as wooden spears pierced towards Zhang Yan.

"besides?"

Zhang Yan raised an eyebrow, took out a flying sword, and directly deflected the wooden spears.

"nice!"

Zhang Yan was very satisfied to see the rice-like creature that had lost its magic power and turned back into a seed.

"Their defense and attack power are both quite good for the mid-stage of Qi Refining."

The only drawback is that it can only cast a few spells.

Zhang Yan picked up the seeds, observed them for a while, and came to a specific conclusion. After speaking, he casually tossed the seeds away.

Then that silly bird immediately flew over and swallowed it all in one gulp.

It was almost scared to death by that rice-man, but now that it sees food, it's come back to life on the spot.

"Although the Mi people have weaknesses, they can remain unused for several days when not casting spells. Making several of them is a good trump card."

Zhang Yan was very satisfied with this ability to shrink people by scattering beans to create soldiers.

After studying the supernatural abilities, Zhang Yan looked at the other skill on the Broken Jade Hoe: Sharpness (lv3).

He previously had many pieces of equipment that could be enhanced with sharpness, but unfortunately, the sharpness of those pieces of equipment was only level 1.

What's the difference between level 3 and level 1 sharpness?

He thought for a moment, then took out a piece of ironwood. Ironwood is hard and is a material used to make magical artifacts.

It's perfect for testing sharpness.

He first lightly struck the ironwood with his golden bamboo sword, leaving a scratch less than half a centimeter long.
"Enhanced with level 1 sharpness".

Another sword strike, this time leaving a three-centimeter-long cut.

Zhang Yan's face remained expressionless; he simply swung his sword again silently.

"Chi~"

With this sword strike, Zhang Yan actually cut Tie Mu in two.

"This power!"

Looking at the ironwood broken in two, Zhang Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.

This is ironwood!

Zhang Yan's attack just now was not accomplished using any magic power; it was solely due to the Golden Bamboo Sword itself.

"This level 3 sharpness is so much stronger than level 1?"

"No wonder the equipment slots are specially divided."

Zhang Yan sighed.

If he had six level 3 sharp weapons equipped in his inventory, even late-stage Qi Refining cultivators would probably be no match for him in a real fight.

"I remember my master saying that there seems to be an auction being held here."
