Purple Vine Wood Heart Fluid's Astonishing Effects, Spiritual Root Transformation

Inside the Cultivation Room, Spiritual Energy was as abundant as ever.

Multiplied Spiritual Energy formed clouds and mist, shrouding Han Yuan's body.

Han Yuan took the Jade Bottle from his Storage Pouch and examined it closely.

This Jade Bottle was no ordinary item—it was actually a second-tier Magic Tool!

Magic Tools were divided into tiers: the first tier corresponded to Qi Refinement, the second to Foundation Establishment, the third to the Golden Core Stage, the fourth to Nascent Soul, and so on.

Spiritual Tools were likewise tiered, but they began at the second tier, with the rest following the same pattern as Magic Tools.

Magic Treasures were also tiered, with the lowest tier being the third, corresponding to the Golden Core Stage!

As for Spiritual Treasures, their lowest tier was the fourth, corresponding to Nascent Soul!

Within the same tier, there were distinctions in both type and quality. In terms of type, Spiritual Treasures surpassed Magic Treasures, which surpassed Spiritual Tools, which surpassed Magic Tools. But across tiers, it depended on the situation. Generally speaking, a fourth-tier Magic Tool was still more powerful than a third-tier Magic Treasure!

As for how Magic Tools and Spiritual Tools were distinguished, that would not be explained one by one here.

Han Yuan sent mana into the Jade Bottle, and its mouth opened on its own.

A refreshing fragrance immediately rushed into his nose.

He tipped the bottle upside down, and a crystalline Purple-Green Droplet slowly fell.

Han Yuan tilted his head back and swallowed the drop of Purple Vine Wood Heart Fluid.

He sealed the Jade Bottle again, then began refining the Wood Heart Fluid he had swallowed.

A large amount of cool energy spread from his abdomen throughout his entire body.

Han Yuan carefully sensed the condition within his body.

He was very curious—what exactly was a Spiritual Root?

A Spiritual Root was the most important thing in the early stages of cultivation. Without one, a person could not even absorb Spiritual Energy.

And since Spiritual Roots could be tested, cultivators themselves should be able to sense them as well.

Following the Purple-Green energy, Han Yuan saw that it was actually surging toward his vertebrae!

It had gone into his bones!

Han Yuan was stunned!

His Spiritual Sense followed it, but he only saw the Purple-Green energy vanish for no apparent reason. He could not make heads or tails of it!

At that moment, his Wood Spirit Heart began to throb faintly.

Somehow, Han Yuan seemed to enter a special state. In the place within his Spiritual Sense that had originally been completely empty, a glowing green object suddenly appeared, embedded in the center of his spine and shaped like a series of segments.

He saw ten small segments at the very bottom, forming one complete large segment. Yet on the second large segment, there were only three small glowing green segments!

Spiritual Root!

This was actually a Spiritual Root?

Han Yuan clearly saw the Purple-Green energy enter the fourth small segment of the second large segment, accelerating the growth of that section of his Spiritual Root!

So this was what a Spiritual Root looked like... If one large segment meant a low-grade Spiritual Root, then two large segments meant a Mid-grade Spiritual Root! Mine only had one large segment and three small ones—among Mid-grade Spiritual Roots, it could only be considered low-grade!

Seeing the state of his own Spiritual Root so clearly, Han Yuan was extremely excited.

Under his gaze, the Purple-Green energy filled a full... one-tenth of the fourth small segment!

That's a little too little! This is the first drop, when its effect is at its strongest. Even after drinking a hundred drops, it would probably only fill the fourth small segment. Even so, it would be worth over a million Spirit Stones, and there wouldn't even be any for sale.

Han Yuan felt that this kind of treasure was best suited for geniuses who were only one small segment away from advancing in grade. After taking it, they would have a chance to rise to the next grade.

But clearly, in Ancestor Ziyun's eyes, Han Yuan was far more important than even someone with a High-grade or Top-grade Spiritual Root!

But I have a Golden Finger. The effect it brings out won't be ordinary!

Han Yuan opened his eyes and looked ahead.

Sure enough, a die was spinning.

The instant his gaze swept over it, the die stopped spinning.

7!

As soon as the number seven appeared, the die vanished, replaced by several lines of text.

Random Buff Multiplier: 7

Purple Vine Wood Heart Fluid Effect Increased *700%

The Purple-Green energy that had already been completely consumed reappeared out of thin air within his Dantian, and there was far more of it than before!

Just as before, the Purple-Green energy slowly flowed into his Wood Spiritual Root.

His Wood Spiritual Root was growing at an astonishing speed.

Han Yuan watched the scene in delight.

When the Purple-Green energy vanished, the fourth small segment of the second large segment of his Wood Spiritual Root was already eight-tenths full!

That was the allure of a sevenfold enhancement!

Terrifying indeed!

Han Yuan could not help marveling at the power of the Golden Finger once more.

This method of conjuring additional energy out of thin air was simply heaven-defying!

Han Yuan carefully sensed the Wood Spiritual Energy around him. It truly was easier to perceive than before, and he even felt that controlling Wood Spiritual Energy had become somewhat easier.

Spiritual Roots were unquestionably the most important aptitude in the early stages of cultivation. Disciples with High-grade Spiritual Roots received the treatment of Inner Sect Disciples the moment they entered a sect, while those with Top-grade Spiritual Roots received the treatment of Core Disciples. Han Yuan, with his Mid-grade Spiritual Root, likewise enjoyed benefits and was directly given the treatment of an Outer Sect Disciple.

Those with High-grade Spiritual Roots had hope of breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, while those with Top-grade Spiritual Roots had hope of breaking through to Nascent Soul! Above Nascent Soul, it was no longer merely a matter of Spiritual Roots, but that was already enough to show just how important they were!

Without further hesitation, Han Yuan took out the Jade Bottle again and dripped another drop of Spiritual Liquid into his mouth.

The second time he consumed Wood Heart Fluid, the die immediately began spinning.

He had also discovered that, generally speaking, when the die appeared for the first use of the same item, it took longer. But upon the second use, it activated swiftly.

Random Buff Multiplier: 6

A sixfold Random Buff Multiplier!

Han Yuan hurriedly refined the additional Wood Heart Fluid energy that had appeared out of thin air in his abdomen.

His Wood Spiritual Root began growing once more.

This time, the Wood Heart Fluid directly filled the fourth small segment and began advancing toward the fifth.

Time swiftly passed.

In the blink of an eye, he had swallowed the tenth drop of Wood Heart Fluid.

Before Han Yuan's delighted eyes, his Wood Spiritual Root successfully filled all ten small segments of the second large segment!

Mid-grade Spiritual Root, complete!

And strands of energy had begun to grow within the first small segment of the third large segment!

The delight in Han Yuan's eyes suddenly turned to astonishment. Wait, the third large segment of the Wood Spiritual Root consumed this much energy?

That drop of Wood Heart Fluid had consumed only a small portion of its energy. The remaining energy should have filled half of the first small segment in the third large segment.

But now, it had filled less than one-tenth. Looking closely, it was only one-twentieth!

Han Yuan suddenly understood. No wonder such an astonishing treasure was still placed on the first floor of the treasure vault. Its effect on High-grade Spiritual Roots is actually so weak! And that's even with the Random Buff Multiplier boosting it. Looks like I was overthinking things before!

Thinking about it, it made sense. This Wood Heart Fluid came from a Purple Vine Demon at the Golden Core Stage. If it were equally effective on High-grade Spiritual Roots, the Purple Vine Demons would probably have been exterminated long ago...

But for me, so what if its effect is weakened tenfold? I've only used ten drops so far!

After thinking it over, Han Yuan realized that even if he averaged a tenfold Random Buff Multiplier, ninety drops still seemed insufficient to fill the third large segment.

I hope my luck is better! It'd be great if I could roll a few huge multipliers!

Han Yuan still felt some pressure.

But he was not overly flustered. With as many as ninety drops, there would surely be chances to roll a massive multiplier. When he had tested the Spirit Gathering Array's effect before, he had already confirmed that roughly once every fifty attempts, there would definitely be a large multiplier!

Sure enough, when he swallowed the forty-eighth drop of Purple Vine Wood Spirit Fluid, an enormous numerical prompt appeared before him.

Random Buff Multiplier: 24

Purple Vine Wood Spirit Fluid Effect *24

The effect was increased twenty-fourfold!

The fifth small segment, which had originally only been one-third full, instantly became nearly full!

The increase was more than sixty times the normal amount. Clearly, a twenty-fourfold enhancement was not merely a simple addition of quantity—the quality had certainly risen considerably as well.

Moreover, the more times he consumed it, the more frequently large multipliers appeared. Multipliers of thirteen and fifteen often popped up!

Han Yuan silently continued consuming Purple Vine Wood Spirit Fluid.

Until he swallowed the ninety-ninth drop of Purple Vine Wood Heart Fluid.

A startling number appeared before his eyes.

Random Buff Multiplier: 32

Thirty-two times was the greatest multiplier Han Yuan had seen for the first time.

He had originally reached nine-tenths of the tenth small segment. After swallowing this drop of Wood Heart Fluid, it rapidly filled to completion and forcefully claimed part of the first small segment in the fourth large segment!

At that moment, his Wood Spiritual Root transformed once again, advancing from a High-grade Spiritual Root to a Top-grade Spiritual Root!

He swallowed the final drop of Wood Heart Fluid, only to find that this tenfold Wood Heart Fluid was completely ineffective. It had no effect whatsoever on the Spiritual Root in the first small segment of the fourth large segment.

Han Yuan felt somewhat fortunate. It seemed that his true entry into the ranks of Top-grade Spiritual Roots had relied on that thirty-twofold Random Buff Effect. Otherwise, he could only have reached the completion of a High-grade Spiritual Root and would have been unable to surpass it by even half a step!
