Chapter 31 5 Spiritual Roots
"You mean... this item is a replica of some famous magical artifact?"
Nangong Wan frowned in thought.
"Yes~"
"It might even be a more powerful imitation of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure..."
"This object itself possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even if you are temporarily unable to control it, you can still withstand an attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Qin Fang did not hide this from him at all.
"When can I open this treasure chest?"
Nangong Wan then asked her the question she cared about most.
"At the very least, you need to have the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage before you can open this box."
"and……"
"When your cultivation reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, you can use this item to return to the Crimson Forbidden Land."
"At that time, the inheritance within the forbidden area will be yours for the taking!"
Qin Fang said.
"Nascent Soul..."
"It's not as simple as you make it sound!"
"I still have some confidence in the Nascent Soul stage, but the late Nascent Soul stage..."
"In the entire Tiannan region, there are only a handful of seniors with such cultivation levels. I..."
Nangong Wan frowned even more.
She possesses exceptional talent and has cultivated within the Hidden Moon Sect since childhood. Not only does the sect have high expectations for her advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, but Nangong Wan herself also has considerable confidence in this endeavor.
However, the late Nascent Soul stage is not a realm that can be easily reached simply by relying on spiritual root aptitude.
There are so many cultivators in Tiannan! Almost all cultivators who can reach the Nascent Soul stage either have a special physique or are cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.
However, among such a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators, very few are able to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage.
"Seniors should have more confidence in themselves!"
"Furthermore, if the fragments of knowledge passed down within this family are true... there might even be a chance to achieve the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Even for such an opportunity, we cultivators should strive forward."
Qin Fang encouraged him.
After that, Qin Fang told Nangong Wan everything he knew about the Crimson Forbidden Land, along with some of his guesses, as a way of thanking her for her "help".
This kind of fortuitous information really saved Nangong Wan a lot of time.
At least we no longer have to wander around like headless flies, relying solely on luck to figure things out.
...Several hours later.
A violent noise suddenly rang out outside the stone hall, causing the expression of the usually lifeless disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect to change drastically.
Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment, a figure walked out of the passage.
"Grandmaster!"
Someone recognized Nangong Wanlai at a glance.
But when everyone saw the unpredictable expression on Nangong Wan's face, the atmosphere fell silent again.
They all wondered if their grandmaster was going to investigate the matter of accidentally triggering the restrictions on this place.
Although the matter had little to do with them, the other party was a Core Formation stage master! Even if he casually killed them, the sect would probably just applaud and not hold him accountable.
Therefore, everyone fell silent and avoided Nangong Wan's gaze, like quails.
until……
"Time is of the essence! Let's go!"
When Master Nangong's clear, cold voice rang out, everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and their spirits lifted.
…………
Bloodstained Forbidden Land.
Below a cliff, a young man dressed in Huangfeng Valley attire sat cross-legged on a jagged blue stone, his eyes closed.
After a while~
Qin Fang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"Recycle!"
His tone was utterly helpless, as if he had missed some incredible opportunity.
The next moment, hundreds of low-grade spirit stones appeared in Qin Fang's rotating space...
"This whole back-and-forth trip yielded absolutely no benefit!"
"On the contrary, because of the price difference, I lost several dozen low-grade spirit stones..."
Qin Fang was utterly speechless.
It turned out that after Nangong Wan led her team away, Qin Fang, who had fought alongside her, came out of the underground stone hall.
They finally chose a general direction and began heading towards the outside of the forbidden area.
Along the way, Qin Fang could only catch a few blurry figures in the distance. Those who were walking so hurriedly were all cultivators from various sects who had come out of the crater.
At this point, it is rare to see people fighting.
After all... the journey to the forbidden area is over, and most of the survivors who entered the crater now carry some spiritual herbs with them.
To create further trouble would be an extremely unwise act.
As for the cultivators from the seven sects outside the crater, upon seeing this group of cultivators emerging from the crater, they ran as fast as they could, and certainly wouldn't approach to seek death.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
After traveling for most of the day, Qin Fang encountered a disciple of Huadaowu who had already met with misfortune.
This person...
Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have entered the crater. Rather, he was ambushed and killed by someone he knew while leaving the forbidden area.
Originally, Qin Fang didn't take it to heart at all. He just used the Zhuanzhuan second-hand platform to scan the surrounding area to avoid being ambushed by anyone with ulterior motives.
But I never expected this!
He saw something in this disciple of Huadaowu that delighted him greatly.
Spiritual Root!
Tradeable spiritual roots!
After trading the "Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique" with the senior "Remnant Soul" in the stone hall, more than half a day had passed.
In addition, the journey took some time.
You should know...
Even the fastest cultivators to reach the vicinity of the crater would need about a day to barely make it there.
So, it would take about the same amount of time to leave the forbidden area.
By the time Qin Fang discovered the body, his daily transaction count had already been broken once again...
Without hesitation, Qin Fang immediately traded away the disciple's three-attribute spiritual roots.
Who knows when this person died? If it had been any later, the option to make the deal might have disappeared again!
Moreover, the number of daily transactions cannot be accumulated, so using them directly at this moment is the best option.
The three attributes of metal, water, and wood are considered relatively common spiritual root aptitudes.
It just so happens that it contains the two elemental spiritual roots of 'water' and 'wood' that Qin Fang was missing!
After acquiring this spiritual root, Qin Fang immediately put it into use...
As expected, the result was not satisfactory!
Qin Fang's aptitude changed from a true spiritual root with the three attributes of metal, fire, and earth to a pseudo spiritual root with all five elements!
He became Qin Fang, a cultivator with five spiritual roots.
and……
Qin Fang also failed to notice that the superposition of the 'metal' attribute in his two spiritual roots made him more sensitive to the metal-attribute spiritual energy in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
There is almost no difference.
In other words...
Aside from making Qin Fang's aptitude worse, this act of fusing with someone else's spiritual root has almost no benefits whatsoever.
"This method might be okay for cultivating the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light."
"But we must wait until we reach the late Nascent Soul stage before we can consider this!"
"Until now, fusing the spiritual root obtained through trade with oneself would undoubtedly be an extremely foolish act..."
Left with no other choice, Qin Fang had to use the "Recycle" function to convert his three spiritual roots of "metal, water, and wood" into low-grade spirit stones.
It was precisely because of the existence of Zhuanzhuan that Qin Fang dared to make such a bold attempt.
"Or perhaps, when my own 'metal, fire, and earth' spiritual roots appear in the recyclable options..."
"Perhaps it's possible..."
Qin Fang also considered another possibility, but so far, he has never seen his spiritual root appear in the recyclable interface.
Spiritual roots are ethereal and cannot be materialized, extracted, or directly recycled.
"besides!"
"This method seems to be surprisingly effective at disgusting enemies!"
Qin Fang's lips curled up slightly with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
