Infiltrating the world of cultivation

Hiss!

The old man was horrified, because a suction force came from Wang Chao’s hand, which was trying to suck away the spiritual power he had cultivated for a hundred years!

He had reached the eighth stage of Qi Refining, and his cultivation was already extraordinary, but now he was unable to resist the suction force in Wang Chao's hand.

This strange suction force came and went quickly, without causing much damage. The old man withdrew his hand with lingering fear. This miner had a secret!

The old man's mind raced, instantly conjuring up a multitude of possibilities. He was capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of someone at the eighth stage of Qi Refining.

Wang Chao's distorted face gradually relaxed. Just now, he felt a warm spiritual energy coming from the back of his hand and reaching his dantian. He vaguely heard the sound of breaking the shackles, as if a giant beast trapped in the abyss had suddenly been released.

Without much thought, Wang Chao slowly raised his head and saw the old man place his hand on the back of his own hand. He naturally assumed that the old man was transmitting spiritual energy to him.

"It's lit up! Another one has lit up!" A gasp rippled through the crowd once more. It had been many years since anyone with spiritual roots had appeared, yet two had appeared in quick succession today.

The miner standing behind Wang Chao looked rather grim. He had impatiently urged Wang Chao to light up the pearl when he saw that Wang Chao hadn't done so.

Now that the dynasty is very likely to become an immortal, his previous remarks are dangerous. If the dynasty holds a grudge, his days ahead will be very difficult.

After all, people with spiritual roots are rare and hard to come by, and they will definitely be sought after by various powerful forces.

"One flash, two flashes, three flashes, four flashes. It seems he has the four elemental roots, just like an immortal." After learning how to determine the elemental roots, everyone had some understanding.

Those with three elemental roots have already entered the ranks of geniuses. How could they appear in the mine? Once discovered, they would be sent directly to the sect and cultivated as key talents.

The old man also had the idea of ​​finding a bargain. As long as he found a three-elemental spiritual root in the mine and handed it over to the sect, he would receive a generous reward.

The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties, and he has already encountered a bottleneck. At his level, it is no longer something that can be solved by hard work alone; Dharma, land, companions, and wealth are all indispensable.

"Four attributes are not bad, given time—no! Five attributes of spiritual roots!" The old man was about to say some encouraging words, but when he saw the change in the color of the pearl, he exclaimed in surprise.

"It's a five-elemental spiritual root! Isn't it said that five-elemental spiritual roots are extremely rare?" In an instant, many people's expressions became extremely interesting.

In ancient times, these five spiritual roots were undoubtedly geniuses. As long as they did not die prematurely, each of them would be an extraordinary figure.

But the old man had already made it clear that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now scarce and no longer as glorious as it was in ancient times. Five elemental spiritual roots are now useless, basically no different from ordinary people, and may even be inferior to some powerful martial artists.

"May I ask, Immortal, is it hopeless to cultivate immortality with these five elemental roots?" Wang Chao was not too discouraged, after all, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of having no elemental roots.

Now that he knows he has five elemental roots, he feels relieved. Having a root is better than having none. Even if he's useless, it's still better than having no root at all.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the dynasty will not give up. There will always be a way. Can a living person be killed by holding in their pee?

"It's not entirely hopeless, but others can draw Qi into their bodies with just one Spirit Gathering Pill, while you'll need at least five, or even more, just to draw Qi into your bodies. Every step you take in the future will require more resources than others."

The old man stroked his long beard, not bothering to dwell on the matter of absorbing his spiritual energy earlier. These five elemental roots were considered extraordinary talents in ancient times, so it was only natural that they might exhibit some abnormalities.

"This is a Spirit Nourishing Pill, a rare treasure even for cultivators like us. I now bestow it upon you, hoping you will cultivate diligently." The old man took out a celestial pill from his sleeve, eliciting a chorus of exclamations.

The miner who ascended to immortality in broad daylight took this Spirit Nourishing Pill. Just one pill is enough to reach the Innate Realm. Many people looked at the Dynasty with envy.

The old man also had his own calculations. Cultivators are all self-centered and will not act without benefit; they would not give away anything for no reason.

Firstly, the Spirit Nourishing Pill wouldn't be of much use to him, and secondly, these five elemental spiritual roots were, after all, unparalleled talents in ancient times, so his actions could be considered an investment.

"I will remember your kindness today, Immortal. I will repay you handsomely when I achieve success in my cultivation." Wang Chao bowed to the old man. Although he had already consumed five of these Spirit Nourishing Pills, he was aware of their value.

This is a magical elixir that many miners would fight tooth and nail to obtain; a single pill can allow an ordinary person to ascend to the primordial realm in broad daylight.

"Hmm, next." The old man didn't care. Cultivating these five elemental roots was too difficult. He had only made an investment and didn't have high hopes.

The path of cultivation is extremely difficult; it is nothing more than stepping on the corpses of those who came before and forging ahead.

Wang Chao was filled with thoughts. From the old man's words, he learned that his Five Elements Spiritual Root had become useless, and that cultivating it would be much more difficult than for others. It turned out that the problem wasn't with his own body.

With only four spirit stones on him, Wang Chao lost interest in continuing his stroll and left the market, intending to return to his residence and take the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

He had a premonition that after taking this Spirit Nourishing Pill, he should be able to draw Qi into his body.

Not long after leaving the market, Wang Chao frowned slightly; someone had followed them!

The saying "possessing a treasure is a crime" applies everywhere. When the dynasty was unknown, no one even paid attention to him. Now that he has obtained a Spirit-Nourishing Pill, he has immediately been targeted.

Wang Chao slowed down, wanting to see what the newcomers' purpose was.

After taking five Spirit Nourishing Pills, although he had not yet achieved the Qi Induction Technique, he was not afraid of ordinary Innate Realm cultivators. However, if he encountered an Innate Realm cultivator of the level of the White-Robed National Master, he would have to resort to firearms.

The dynasty does not want to use firearms unless absolutely necessary. There are too many people and too many eyes around, and it would be troublesome if they were mistaken for extraterrestrial demons.

"Kid, we both saw clearly what happened when the immortal gave you the Spirit Nourishing Pill. If you know what's good for you, hand it over or I'll have to take action."

Two people followed behind: one with a full beard and dark skin, and the other with a handsome face and refined manners. It is said that birds of a feather flock together, so it is strange that these two people could come together.

"There's only one Spirit Nourishing Pill, but there are two of you. Who should I give it to?" A smile crept onto Wang Chao's lips. "Trying to rob me? I'll show you what five thousand years of wisdom is all about in a minute."

Sure enough, after Wang Chao finished asking his question, the two looked at each other and remained silent.

“Brother Li, this fellow is trying to sow discord between us. Why waste words with him? Let’s kill him first, get the Spirit Nourishing Pill, and then we can talk about the distribution.”

The refined middle-aged man noticed something odd about the bearded man's expression and couldn't help but offer a word of advice.

After listening to their conversation, Wang Chao's gaze turned slightly cold. They were quick to threaten to kill, so it seemed that the two of them often engaged in such murder and robbery.
