Chapter 21 The Theory of Spiritual Roots
The Imperial Medicine Palace had done a lot of research on the relative relationship between Spiritual Roots and cultivation speed. In the end, the book “The Theory of Spiritual Roots” was published and became a treasured medical book.
Research showed that Spiritual Root attribute points were proportional to cultivation speed.
Every cultivator who was born normally would have 100 attribute points allocated to their Spiritual Root when their innate essence was sufficient. Then, the attribute points would be divided into five elements according to their luck, which was the “Spiritual Root” that every cultivator had.
Furthermore, the number of attribute points in each of the five elements determined the efficiency of their cultivation techniques.
Take a genius with astonishing luck, who had all 100 attribute points allocated to the wood attribute, as an example. This was the legendary perfect wood-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root. As a result, their efficiency of cultivating wood-attribute cultivation techniques would be twice that of ordinary people. Originally, it would take 100 years to master it. However, this person would only need 50 years.
Chen Mobai’s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, and Earth 10.
With his Spiritual Root, which had the most attribute points in the water attribute, as an example, if he cultivated the Black Water Technique and brought in the formulae in “The Theory of Spiritual Roots”, his efficiency of refining spiritual energy would only be 1.3 times that of ordinary people.
Of course, the specific efficiency of cultivation depended on the concentration of spiritual energy, the mental state of the cultivator, and whether there were any auxiliary spiritual objects.
With Chen Mobai’s talent, it would take at least half a year for him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6 with the Five Elements Technique.
However, the water mansion was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land. The concentration of spiritual energy was five to six times that of a superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual land. Thus, the efficiency of cultivating here was like riding a rocket compared to at school and home.
However, even so, due to the limitations of his Spiritual Root, according to Chen Mobai’s previous calculations, he still needed 100 days to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6. This was just before the college entrance examination.
This was before he watched the video of Master Qing Ping’s lecture.
Then Venerable Nascent Soul was indeed Venerable Nascent Soul. Even though he was only explaining the most basic Five Elements Technique and had talked about a lot of unimportant things in the beginning, when he really entered the dry content of the cultivation technique, Chen Mobai instantly felt enlightened.
It turned out that when the spiritual energy circulated to this meridian, it could easily soar without any obstacles by rotating it counter-clockwise seven times in the aperture.
When absorbing spiritual energy from the three orifices of the mouth and nose, it was necessary to repeatedly go back and forth between the 12 sections of the throat. This way, the impurities in the spiritual energy of the outside world could be intercepted by the 12 sections and not enter the meridians in the body. When it was time to stop, the waste gas at the throat would be expelled.
Another example was that after the spiritual energy was refined and gathered in the dantian’s sea of Qi, it could enter the body in the right direction.
This was because a rotation to the right resulted in a clockwise rotation, allowing for a smooth entry. This helped to condense spiritual power. Furthermore, when one reached the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future, they would turn this spiritual power into liquid. By taking this step, one could increase the success rate of achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future by 10%.
By the same logic, a rotation to the left was the reverse and was done to dissipate the spiritual power. As a result, the spiritual power would not be able to rush through some of the more blocked and narrow meridians. It needed to spread out and turn into a thin soft aura that slowly advanced.
After cultivating, Chen Mobai watched the videos of the Qi Refinement Level-1 and Level-2 of the Five Elements Technique. Only then did he realize how crude his understanding of this basic cultivation technique was.
He saw that it was almost morning. Only then did he reluctantly lock his form.
However, during his cultivation that night, he had already used the offline download function to download all 28 videos of Master Qing Ping explaining the Five Elements Technique to his phone. This offline download function was also a privilege that only users above Level-3 had. Chen Mobai was now a Level-5 user, so it was naturally not a problem. However, just in case, when he went to class today, he turned off the mobile network on his phone to avoid being found by the operators of the Auxiliary Cultivation app.
“Did you know that Yan Bingxuan dropped out of school?”
In the morning, before the teacher came in, his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, had already mysteriously approached Chen Mobai. However, he still couldn’t hide the matter and directly revealed the explosive news.
“Eh, why? The college entrance examination is coming soon. Is she going to drop out because she lost to Song Zheng and couldn’t take the blow?”
“It’s very likely. She’s usually cold and aloof. This time, she lost and couldn’t keep her face, so she simply dropped out.”
“Shouldn’t be. It’s not like she hasn’t lost before.”
“Maybe she used dropping out of school as an excuse to secretly work at home.”
The two beautiful deskmates in front also came over. The tables behind him were not empty either. In an instant, a gossip circle with Chen Mobai and Lu Hongsheng at the center was formed.
Chen Mobai could only roll his eyes. In the past, he would have participated as well, but now that he was in his third year of high school and needed to risk his life, he couldn’t be bothered to waste time on gossip.
He wanted to amaze the world and soar into the sky…
At this moment, Yan Bingxuan walked in. Instantly, the gossip circle fell silent.
A cold gaze looked over. Chen Mobai expressed that he was innocent and did not participate in the discussion at all. However, Beauty Yan only looked at him coldly for two seconds before returning to her seat. She silently packed her things, picked up her blue school bag, and left the classroom.
There was silence for perhaps ten seconds. Then, everyone began to speak in high tones and whisper to each other.
The students who had been skeptical about Lu Hongsheng’s news could not help but look at them in surprise, causing Chen Mobai’s deskmate to raise his chest proudly.
There was a click.
Then, Chen Mobai stood up and dragged his chair across the floor, making a noise.
“Where are you going? Class is starting soon.”
Lu Hongsheng asked curiously.
“I forgot my textbook. I’ll borrow it from the library.”
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he avoided the even more ridiculous gossip conjecture that began to be discussed next. It couldn’t be helped. The tables at the back had already imagined the love-hate relationship between the two geniuses, Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan. It was enough to make a 20-episode television series.
He couldn’t bear to hear any more.
It just so happened that he was planning to borrow a textbook from the library, so he decided to slip away.
The Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect had a small library with a collection of about 3,000 books. This included some commonly used biographies, books about the local conditions and customs of Danxia City, as well as some small spell manuals, cultivation technique books, medicinal pills, artifacts, array formations, and other materials that could be self-learned.
Although the book of the highest grade was only a superior-grade Rank-1 book, the basic content in all aspects was perfect. If a diligent person finished reading all the books in the library and comprehended them, it would not be a problem for them to become a Rank-1 array master, alchemist, and appraiser.
Unfortunately, not many people came to this library.
After all, who read paper books in this day and age?
Only those who forgot to bring their textbooks would come here to borrow books with their student card for half a day. Then, they would return the books after school.
If not for the fact that Chen Mobai did not want to spend 10 points to download the electronic version of the Five Elements Technique from the National Electronic Library of the immortal sect, he would not have borrowed it from this library.
He had benefited greatly from Master Qing Ping’s lecture yesterday. However, when he watched the previous content, he realized that his knowledge was already a little blurry. He felt that it was necessary to take the original textbook of the Five Elements Technique and compare it with the content of the videos.
“That’ll be one copy of ‘Five Elements Technique’. Using your student card to borrow the book, it’ll be free as long as you return the book within a month.”
The person who ran the library was a teacher with round glasses. She deftly took Chen Mobai’s student card and swiped it.
Just as Chen Mobai thanked the librarian and was about to leave, someone suddenly walked into the library.
