On the second floor, there were also sect disciples on guard.

Besides watching over the Inheritance Hall, these guards were also responsible for collecting spirit stones and making copies of inheritances for sect disciples who wished to obtain them.

Zhang Wan stepped forward and asked for the location of the Spirit Planter inheritance, which happened to be on the second floor.

Zhang Wan then went to find it.

He found the inheritance easily, but seeing an entire shelf of jade slips, Zhang Wan had a bad feeling.

These jade slips were all labeled as Spirit Planter inheritances, but for fifteen low-grade spirit stones, he wouldn't be able to exchange for all of them, would he?

He stepped forward, picked up a jade slip, and scanned them one by one with his divine sense.

He could only see a portion of the content from each, all of them being introductions to the inheritance.

It took Zhang Wan quite a while to flip through all the jade slips on the shelf.

"So that's how it is. Even the inheritance for cultivating Postnatal low-grade spirit plants is divided into different schools, with different cultivation methods."

"Moreover, besides the differences in cultivation methods, there are countless types of Postnatal low-grade spirit plants. Each jade slip here only records a very small portion of them."

Even so, according to the introductions visible in the jade slips, each one contained no less than a million characters, with some reaching four to five million characters.

Let alone mastering the cultivation methods in the inheritance, just memorizing the characteristics and cultivation methods of the Postnatal low-grade spirit plants recorded within would be quite challenging.

"Just looking through them takes a considerable amount of time. Memorizing them all would test not only memory but also patience," Zhang Wan clicked his tongue, having made his judgment.

After breaking through to Postnatal, his memory had improved, but memorizing all of this would still require a significant amount of time and effort.

He couldn't dedicate all his energy to this.

Completely memorizing the knowledge within the inheritance would have to be a slow process.

Initially, it would be enough to master the cultivation methods recorded in the inheritance and the characteristics and cultivation methods of common Postnatal low-grade spirit plants.

As for completely mastering the cultivation methods of all Postnatal low-grade spirit plants, that was just a thought, not a reality.

There were countless spirit plants in the world, and the number of Postnatal low-grade spirit plants was too numerous to count.

It wasn't just that the Jade Bone Sect hadn't collected information on all spirit plants; he might not even be able to familiarize himself with all the spirit plants recorded on this shelf of jade slips.

Shaking his head, Zhang Wan reined in his wandering thoughts and began to consider which school of Spirit Planter inheritance he should choose.

"Some inheritances require cultivating corresponding attribute-based cultivation methods, otherwise, the cultivation techniques within will be twice as effective."

"The Bronze Iron Body cultivation method doesn't have any special attributes, so I don't have to worry about attribute conflicts, but it also doesn't have the boost of matching attributes."

"It's best to choose a Spirit Planter inheritance that doesn't require attribute compatibility and has the best universality."

After some searching, Zhang Wan found three inheritances that met his requirements.

They were the Five Elements Spirit Planter, Symbiotic Spirit Planter, and Extreme Spirit Planter.

The Five Elements Spirit Planter, like the Five Elements Cultivation, could be practiced by anyone and had no special requirements. It was suitable for the general public, but correspondingly, it had no special features, and its method of cultivating spirit plants was a steady and solid type.

The Symbiotic Spirit Planter was more peculiar. It included a Symbiotic Art that could enhance the Spirit Planter's perception of spirit plants, allowing them to instantly sense the growth status of a spirit plant and then cultivate it accordingly, doubling the efficiency of cultivation.

The Extreme Spirit Planter, on the other hand, took a radical approach, pursuing the goal of ripening spirit plants in the shortest possible time. This method of cultivation consumed a great deal of earth power and spiritual energy, and the spirit plants cultivated would also lose the possibility of further advancement.

Normally, spirit plants could continuously improve their grade and medicinal properties with long-term cultivation, but the extreme cultivation method greatly depleted the spirit plant's potential, and while ripening the spirit plant, it also cut off its possibility of further improvement.

The three types of Spirit Planter schools each had their advantages and disadvantages, and Zhang Wan wanted all of them, but his financial situation didn't allow him to have his cake and eat it too.

After some thought, Zhang Wan chose the Extreme Spirit Planter inheritance.

Compared to the steady approach of the Symbiotic Art and the Five Elements Spirit Planter inheritance, Zhang Wan was more curious about the cultivation methods of the Extreme Spirit Planter.

Ripening spirit plants, despite its many drawbacks, allowed him to obtain the most spirit plants in the shortest amount of time, which was most suitable for accumulating cultivation resources in the early stages.

It also served as a suitable excuse to conceal his use of EXP to improve his cultivation.

Others would attribute his cultivation improvement to the abundant cultivation resources he obtained through the Extreme Spirit Planter inheritance.

With this inheritance in hand, he could slightly relax his restrictions and use more EXP to improve his cultivation realm.

Having made his choice, Zhang Wan took the jade slip inheritance, found the guarding disciple on the second floor, paid fifteen low-grade spirit stones, and the guarding disciple took out a formation disk.

The formation disk was covered with dense runes, which formed two rune circles connected by rune chains.

The guarding disciple placed the Extreme Spirit Planter inheritance in one of the rune circles and took a blank jade slip, placing it in the other.

Then, he activated the formation on the formation disk.

Immediately, the runes on the rune circles crawled onto the two jade slips. The Extreme Spirit Planter inheritance jade slip shone brightly, and its content was continuously copied to the blank jade slip through the rune chains.

After about a hundred breaths, the Extreme Spirit Planter inheritance was completely copied.

Once the inheritance copying was complete, the guarding disciple took out a round mirror and had Zhang Wan face it to swear an oath that he would not privately impart the Extreme Spirit Planter inheritance to others.

The aura of this round mirror was powerful, making Zhang Wan feel a sense of oppression.

Its aura made Zhang Wan suspect it was a Prenatal magic tool.

If he made an oath before such a magic tool and broke it, with his cultivation, it would be very difficult for him to resist the backlash from the mirror magic tool.

Zhang Wan certainly didn't want to take an oath and strongly wished he could just make a verbal oath like when he obtained the first six layers of the Bronze Iron Art Postnatal cultivation method.

Unfortunately, the sect's Inheritance Hall was not like a classroom.

The rules here are stricter than in the academy.

Fortunately, Zhang Wan didn't have an urgent need to spread the Extreme Spirit Planter's legacy.

As for his second and third siblings, if they wanted to pursue a career as Spirit Planters in the future, they could come to the sect themselves to obtain the legacy.

Besides, Zhang Wan had asked in detail. He was only forbidden from leaking the special cultivation methods within the Extreme Spirit Planter's legacy. The knowledge about spirit plants recorded within could be discussed.

This oath didn't have overly strict requirements.

Zhang Wan faced the round mirror and took the oath under its radiant glow.

Afterward, the disciple on duty handed Zhang Wan the imprinted Extreme Spirit Planter's legacy.

Having received the legacy, Zhang Wan didn't leave the Inheritance Hall immediately.

He and the disciples who came with him had requested three days off in total, and it was only the first day. There was no rush to leave.

The others who came with him were also still selecting their legacies. They had come together, so they would naturally leave together.

After storing the legacy in his storage talisman, Zhang Wan simply went to the first floor. There, he browsed through the sect's collection of interesting anecdotes from the Wu Kingdom's martial arts world and biographies of famous powerful figures from Wu Kingdom history.

Although these texts didn't record specific cultivation techniques or martial skills, they were interspersed with the martial insights of predecessors.

While carefully reading to broaden his horizons, he also gained some insights into the martial path.
