Incomplete Five Elements Detailed Explanation

Zhang Wan asked curiously again.

"How much spirit stone does this inheritance sell for outside?"

Xu Mao smiled and said, "If sold to rogue cultivators, the incomplete inheritance you have would be worth at least thirty low-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wan understood. Rogue cultivators were definitely easy marks.

Holding the Five Elements Spirit Planter inheritance, Zhang Wan returned to his small courtyard.

He had already checked the spirit fields and found no issues. The remaining time could be fully dedicated to comprehending the Five Elements Spirit Planter inheritance in his hands.

His divine sense entered the jade slip. As expected, much of the spirit plant knowledge in this inheritance overlapped with the Extreme Spirit Planter inheritance.

Only about twenty percent of the content recorded the growth habits of new spirit plants.

"No wonder it was so much cheaper than when I bought the Extreme Spirit Planter inheritance," Zhang Wan muttered.

Then, Zhang Wan focused his attention on the unique cultivation methods of the Five Elements Spirit Planter.

Unlike the Symbiotic Art of the Symbiotic Spirit Planter and the two techniques of the Extreme Spirit Planter.

The unique cultivation methods of the Five Elements Spirit Planter did not include special secret arts.

Instead, it was filled with lengthy "Five Elements Detailed Explanation."

It explained in detail the role of the Five Elements in cultivating spirit plants, how to mobilize the Five Elements spiritual energy, and some tips for manipulating it.

This was very basic martial path knowledge, and also content Zhang Wan had not studied before.

"So that's how it is. By comprehending this part of the Five Elements Detailed Explanation, I can at least mobilize the Five Elements spiritual energy to cultivate spirit plants."

"If my comprehension is deep enough, I can also comprehend some Five Elements secret arts or Five Elements martial skills based on this."

"However, the latter is quite difficult. Ordinary martial artists can't do it at all."

After quickly flipping through the inheritance, Zhang Wan opened his status panel. The Five Elements Detailed Explanation had indeed appeared on the panel.

Host: Zhang Wan (Fourteen years old)
Realm: Third Level Postnatal (7.9/120)
Realm Bottleneck: None
Cultivation Techniques & Martial Skills: Bronze Iron Body Sixth Level Postnatal cultivation technique (48/114, Third Level Postnatal cultivation technique comprehended), Stacked Force Palm (61/155), Bone Piercing Finger (103/103, 20/46), Nine Step Movement Technique (60/127), incomplete Vitality Catalysis Technique (89/89, 11/11)+, incomplete Extreme Growth Technique (83/83, 10/10)+, Spirit Plant Knowledge (20/27), incomplete Five Elements Detailed Explanation (0/21), incomplete fire talisman inheritance (891/891)
Available EXP:

Zhang Wan noticed that the original Spirit Plant Knowledge had changed from "Spirit Plant Knowledge (20/20)" to "Spirit Plant Knowledge (20/27)," and the plus sign at the end had disappeared.

"It seems that the new spirit plant knowledge from the Five Elements Spirit Planter has been incorporated. I haven't comprehended this part yet, so the plus sign representing deduction has disappeared."

Zhang Wan made a note of this. His understanding of the Experience Point System grew little by little through these changes.

And after nearly a year, his EXP had broken through the 10,000 mark again, which Zhang Wan found very satisfying.

"However, the incomplete Five Elements Detailed Explanation only costs twenty-one EXP?"

"The difference in EXP required compared to the two techniques of the Extreme Spirit Planter is too great?"

"Are those two techniques really that difficult, or is it because there are no specific secret arts or martial skills, so the required EXP is drastically reduced?"

Zhang Wan felt that both possibilities were likely.

But no matter which it was, the Extreme Spirit Planter ultimately seemed somewhat special.

Looking at the twenty-one EXP, Zhang Wan maxed it out directly!

Instantly, a large amount of comprehension regarding the Five Elements Detailed Explanation surged into his mind, which Zhang Wan digested and absorbed.

He comprehended the Five Elements Detailed Explanation completely in an instant.

"Hmm, although the required EXP wasn't much, the Five Elements Spirit Planter does have its unique advantages."

"Its cultivation method is steady and reliable, suitable for all martial artists to learn and master."

"The spirit plants cultivated are also of good quality, although it takes a lot of cultivation time for the spirit plants to mature."

On the panel, the incomplete Five Elements Detailed Explanation (0/21) had become "incomplete Five Elements Detailed Explanation (21/21)+."

However, the plus sign that appeared this time gave Zhang Wan a slightly different feeling.

With a thought, he clicked the plus sign, and a line of explanatory text appeared.

"Can consume EXP to deduce subsequent content, or consume EXP to deduce related Five Elements secret arts or Five Elements martial skills."

"Hiss! That's quite impressive!"

Zhang Wan had just received the inheritance and mentioned that the Five Elements Spirit Planter inheritance didn't have corresponding secret arts or martial skills, and immediately the system indicated that related secret arts or martial skills could be deduced.

Amazing!

After giving the system a thumbs-up, Zhang Wan closed the panel.

Deduction was out of the question. He had finally managed to get his EXP back over ten thousand, so he couldn't just use it carelessly.

Not to mention that the deduction function consumed a lot of EXP, but he also didn't urgently need Five Elements secret arts or Five Elements martial skills right now.

Whether he had them or not wouldn't make much of a difference to him.

We'll discuss it later if the need arises.

With one worry resolved, Zhang Wan was in a much better mood.

For the next few days, he tended to the Water Fragrance Rice in the spirit land with renewed vigor.

As it happened, Water Fragrance Rice was a water-attribute spirit rice, and cultivating it using the Five Elements Spirit Planter's methods was perfectly suited.

He channeled the five elements' spiritual energy, gathering it in these two mu of spirit fields. The Water Fragrance Rice growing there seemed even more spirited.

However, before Zhang Wan could happily farm for a few days, Xu Mao called him over, saying that the Fourth Branch had prepared a test and wanted him to take it.

Zhang Wan was filled with confusion.

Hadn't he already been admitted to the Spirit Planter Hall? Why was there another test?

He didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked Xu Mao. After several encounters, they were acquainted.

Xu Mao didn't explain, merely hinting that this was a good thing and that Zhang Wan should give it his all. If he did well on the test, he would certainly be rewarded.

A good thing? What a darn riddle!

Zhang Wan grumbled, but seeing that Xu Mao wouldn't elaborate, he didn't press further, though he remained full of doubt.

Upon receiving the test, Zhang Wan found that it contained two parts.

One part consisted of questions related to spirit plants, ranging from basic knowledge to diagnosing and resolving spirit plant ailments, and even identifying plant diseases from complex descriptions.

All sorts of questions were included.

Some of the content involved highly advanced knowledge, requiring years of experience as a Spirit Planter or a thorough understanding of the spirit plant inheritance for cultivating postnatal low-grade spirit plants to answer correctly.

The other part covered martial path knowledge and cultivation common sense, touching upon cultivation challenges and insights into cultivation.

"This test is quite interesting."

"Are they assessing my current knowledge accumulation in both the martial path and spirit plants through this written exam?"

"But what is this for?"

"Is it to analyze my talent in these two areas?"

Zhang Wan wasn't foolish. Combining this with Xu Mao's words, he realized that the Dust Bone Branch might want to cultivate him, but before doing so, they wanted to reconfirm his aptitude.

"It truly is a good thing," Zhang Wan muttered.

Just like when he was in school, he desired a low-key and stable development. However, he didn't want to be so low-key that he was treated like a pig. Instead, he wanted to be someone who wasn't overly scrutinized but also someone few dared to provoke.

To achieve this, appropriately revealing his strength was necessary.

The Sect was more complex than school, with more powerful individuals. In such a situation, finding a backer wouldn't be a bad idea.
