Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 59 The Competition Begins

Before coming to the trade fair, Zhang Yan had more than 10,000 spirit stones on him.

After the trade fair, he had less than three thousand spirit stones left. These three thousand were his reserve spirit stones, which he could not easily use.

Although the expenses were staggering.

But the harvest was equally touching, not to mention the things like the evergreen bamboo that could nourish his spiritual roots.

There were also more than ten ritual implements, as well as several jade slips and other items.

These monks are so incredibly enthusiastic.

He'd sell anything for money, and some shameless female cultivators even secretly passed him notes.

Zhang Yan threw the notes away without hesitation.

joke.

Who are you tempting?
Dude, you're a practitioner of the Pure Yang Boy Technique!
If you're so capable, wait until you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage before giving it to me!
We'll see if we do it or not when the time comes.

……

After leaving the trade fair, Zhang Yan, wearing a bamboo hat, merged into the crowd. When he came out, he had changed his clothes.

Although this is at the Palace of Flowers.

Even though it's the territory of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it's always good to be cautious.

Having acquired a considerable amount of equipment, Zhang Yan was naturally eager to return to the base. The outside world was far too dangerous, and he only felt safe with Zhuge Wan by his side.

There was no danger along the way, nor did we encounter anything unusual.

We returned to the rest area prepared by the Palace of a Thousand Flowers.

Zhang Yan first reported to Zhuge Wan before returning to his room.

Activate the array that comes with the room.

Zhang Yan immediately took out the Bamboo Shoots.

The evergreen bamboo is not very tall, only about four feet long, and is entirely emerald green with faint specks of gold visible in the background.

Moreover, this ancient bamboo looks vibrant and doesn't appear to have been cut off at all.

"Spiritual Essence~"

Holding the Ten Thousand Year Bamboo, Zhang Yan made a specific gesture. Instantly, visible to the naked eye, wisps of emerald green energy continuously flowed into his body from the Ten Thousand Year Bamboo.

As the emerald green spiritual energy entered his body, Zhang Yan felt as if he were being electrocuted. Although it was painful, there was a strange sense of pleasure in it.

In just a few dozen breaths, it was all over.

The bamboo in Zhang Yan's hand had changed from its original emerald green color to a withered bamboo.

I gently touched the ring on my hand.

Suddenly, a flame erupted, burning the bamboo in his hand to ashes.

"That's it?" Zhang Yan looked at the pile of ashes, his face showing disbelief. A spiritual root!

This can enhance one's spiritual root.

It's that simple?
It was so simple that he could hardly believe it.

"Let's feel what changes are happening first." Zhang Yan sat cross-legged on the futon and began to meditate and cultivate. As the cultivation technique circulated, a large amount of spiritual energy began to surge in.

This was a feeling of exhilaration he had never experienced before.

"My spiritual root compatibility..."

Zhang Yan's eyes widened suddenly, somewhat incredulous.

Spiritual roots are crudely divided into inferior, low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

The compatibility of spiritual energy is measured by using top-grade spiritual roots as the benchmark.

Among them, those with a compatibility level of 1 or higher with spiritual energy are considered inferior spiritual roots.

This kind of spiritual root is impossible to cultivate, so it is not counted in the cultivation world.

The range for low-grade spiritual roots is 21-50.

The range for a medium-grade spiritual root is 51-70.

The highest grade spiritual root is 71-99.

The highest quality spirit is 100.

Among them, the best spiritual roots are also called heavenly spiritual roots, and the superior spiritual roots with a compatibility of 90% or more are also classified separately as earthly spiritual roots.

Zhang Yan previously had a low-grade spiritual root.

Among them, the wood element has the highest compatibility, approaching that of a mid-grade spiritual root, around forty.

Now that he has absorbed the Bamboo Tree, his spiritual root compatibility is estimated to have reached over 60%.

It's only one step away from being a top-grade spiritual root. "This..."

"so amazing!"

Zhang Yan was somewhat shocked by the Spirit Gathering Technique. He had long known that the Spirit Gathering Technique was very effective, but this was far too powerful.

"Moreover, my Spirit Gathering Technique has only just reached its peak. If I were to cultivate it to its strongest state... and then repair other spiritual roots. Or, after I establish my foundation, would refining the Spirit Gathering Technique into a divine power be even more powerful?"

I currently possess a wood-type spiritual root, so absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Bamboo strengthened it. What would happen if I didn't have a wood-type spiritual root? Would it regenerate the corresponding spiritual root for me?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan's heart pounded violently.

What would happen if he used the Spirit Nourishing Technique to replenish his spiritual root?
The five elemental spiritual roots: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth?
Then, in addition, he mastered all the elemental arts of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, evolving them into supernatural powers.

Wouldn't Zhang be able to call himself the Immortal Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws then?

He can use and perform any kind of supernatural power.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

"Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, you can really give it a try."

All you need to do is find the corresponding spirit object.

Although these spiritual items are precious, they can still be obtained as long as you have spirit stones.

As for those spells...

Sorry, but he's least afraid of practicing magic.

His diligence and hard work, coupled with the slight help from his equipment inventory, made it very easy for him to practice magic and similar things.

Improving one's spiritual root is extremely important for Zhang Yan.

He could feel that his cultivation speed had increased by more than 30%.

If someone with only a mid-grade spiritual root can grow this fast, it's hard to imagine what it's like for those geniuses with high-grade spiritual roots to cultivate.

And then there are those top-grade spiritual roots.

I'm so envious I could cry.

……

These past few days, Zhang Yan has been experiencing the changes in his spiritual root.

Soon, two and a half days later.

Zhuge Wan summoned everyone.

"The Spirit Plant Competition is about to begin. Are you all ready?" Zhuge Wan said, her eyes fixed on Zhang Yan.

appear.

Zhuge Wan was most looking forward to Zhang Yan.

"Ready!"

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and then spoke to Zhuge Wan.

"Alright, in that case, let's go!"

As Zhuge Wan spoke, she waved her hand, and the magical ribbon reappeared, enveloping the disciples in its magical power, transforming them directly into a stream of light.

It's not just them.

The sky was filled with flowing light.

These are all Golden Core Ancestors.

As for the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, they could only follow slowly behind in their flying magical artifacts.

The most miserable are those rogue cultivators who don't have flying artifacts, or who are only at the Qi Refining stage and have no elders.

Although they could also participate in the Spirit Plant Competition, they could only rely on their own two legs to get there.

It's safe to say that having someone to rely on makes life much more comfortable.

The method of the Spirit Plant Competition is very special; it is not simply a competition of theories.

Instead, they competed in farming.

Indeed, the competition among plant masters is this simple and unpretentious.

The Palace of Myriad Flowers will provide each spirit plant master with one acre of spirit field, and will also provide spirit plant seeds to all spirit plant masters.

Then each person chooses a seed to plant.

In the end, the evaluation is based on the rarity and value of the spiritual plants in the spiritual field of the spiritual plant master.

This competition will only last for three months.

With the aforementioned rules in place, this greatly tests the plant grower's ability to select and cultivate plants.
