Spirit Root Enhancement Technique

Once Ding Jinglue announced the end of class, everyone in the classroom hurried toward the Cultivation Rooms.

Chen Mobai deliberately lagged a step behind and missed the first wave. Then, stamping his feet and sighing, he used the excuse of needing the restroom to turn into the teachers' office.

In Immortal Sect education, classes were only held in the mornings, while afternoons were reserved for self-study.

After class, the students crowded into the Cultivation Rooms, and the teachers were no exception. Aside from veteran cultivators like Ding Jinglue, whose potential had already been exhausted and who were destined never to achieve Foundation Establishment again, the rest—such as Chai Deyun—seized every second outside of teaching to cultivate.

But even so, among the Second Grade spiritual energy Cultivation Rooms, only Ding Jinglue had given up his own allotted slot.

Chen Mobai had originally thought that at this hour, Old Man Ding would be the only one in the teachers' office.

Yet the moment he reached the door, he discovered that another classmate had arrived before him.

It was not Song Zheng, Old Man Ding's Legacy Disciple, but Yan Bingxuan, another genius in their class who had reached Late Qi Cultivation.

Her bare face was lovely, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and even her loose school uniform could not conceal her tall, slender figure. Seeing Chen Mobai standing at the door, she lightly furrowed her brows. Then she gave Old Man Ding a slight bow and took her leave.

Chen Mobai nodded to Yan Bingxuan as she came out. After hesitating briefly, she nodded back.

The two belonged to different circles within the class. Though they were classmates, they were truly no more than nodding acquaintances.

Still, Chen Mobai felt that compared to last semester, Yan Bingxuan seemed even colder in both temperament and disposition this semester.

As though to match her name, this gifted cultivator had made herself increasingly aloof.

"Chen Mobai, why aren't you waiting over at the Cultivation Rooms? What brings you here?"

Old Man Ding considered himself a rather humorous man. Chen Mobai smiled obligingly and walked inside.

"It's like this, Teacher Ding. My mother wanted me to get good results on the College Entrance Exam, so she hired a private tutor to guide me in the practical application of spells. Yesterday, he assigned me homework after class and told me to break a water-wave-like defensive Restriction. But I'm truly too dull-witted and had no solution, so I could only come seek Teacher Ding's guidance."

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Old Man Ding did not grow suspicious.

After all, the best way to improve one's spell cultivation was through continuous practical training.

Although the school taught a broad range of material, when it came to certain specific spells and Restrictions, it truly could not compare with some private cultivator tutors outside.

"Your mother's certainly willing to spend. Private tutors don't come cheap."

As Old Man Ding searched through his spell database according to Chen Mobai's description to trace the origins of this Water Wave Restriction, he asked casually.

"My mother has high hopes for me, so I can only work hard. Sorry to trouble you, Teacher Ding."

Chen Mobai did not dare say too much and could only answer vaguely. He then told Ding Jinglue, in meticulous detail, about how he had repeatedly tested the Water Wave Restriction in the Water Mansion with coins.

"Mm. Based on your description, it was very likely a Restriction formed by solidifying these three spells."

After giving up hope of Foundation Establishment, Ding Jinglue had thrown himself wholeheartedly into education. He was also exceedingly attentive toward Chen Mobai, who had rarely come to seek guidance of his own initiative, and pulled up three spells from his spell database.

Flowing Water Shield, Surging Wave Curse, and Scale Ripple Art.

"I've sent the specific spell details and methods for breaking them to your personal database. Go home and experiment more. If you still can't do it, write up the problem in a report and send it to me."

Seeing Ding Jinglue package the documents for the three spells and send them to his interface address, Chen Mobai thanked him repeatedly.

If he had downloaded the materials for these three spells from the Immortal Sect Spell Library, it would have cost him at least thirty Merit Points.

And without a teacher like Ding Jinglue, who had studied spells so deeply, Chen Mobai alone would have had no idea how many days and nights he would have wasted searching through the ocean of the internet.

The school benefits were truly excellent!

Chen Mobai sighed from the bottom of his heart. This was also why they placed such importance on the College Entrance Exam.

If one could enter one of those Great Dao Academies, not only spells, but even Secret Methods for breaking through realms, divine abilities, and immortal arts could be obtained for free.

On Earth Origin Star, due to the previous mechanical civilization, there was basically no hoarding of knowledge behind closed doors.

The Immortal Sect's inherited Spirit Transformation Secret Methods could be acquired free of charge so long as one's cultivation had reached Nascent Soul Late Stage.

It was precisely this kind of atmosphere that allowed the Immortal Sect, in the resource-depleted Realm Domain of Earth Origin Star, to still produce Spirit Transmutation Ancestors.

"By the way, Teacher Ding, did Yan Bingxuan come to consult you about spells just now as well?"

Before leaving, Chen Mobai recalled what had just happened and asked instinctively.

"Her? After entering Late Qi Cultivation, she seemed to have decided to transform her dual metal-water True Spirit Root into an Ice Spirit Root. She was asking me about my experience with purifying and enhancing Spiritual Roots."

Chen Mobai had not expected an answer, but Ding Jinglue answered directly, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.

"This... Spiritual Roots can be transformed and enhanced?"

"Oh, you haven't reached that level yet, but there's no harm in telling you in advance."

Ding Jinglue tapped his keyboard twice more, selected a document, and sent it to Chen Mobai.

"The reason Pure Yang Academy made an exception and admitted me back then was because at Vermillion Cinnabar Academy, I went into seclusion and cultivated bitterly for twenty years, transforming my Spiritual Root into the Three Yang Body. It can also be considered a variation of a Mutated Spiritual Root."

"However, although those twenty years of bitter work turned my Spiritual Root into a high-grade one, there was not enough time left for me to charge toward Qi Cultivation Perfection."

"You all know the story of the rest of my life. Even with the Three Yang Body, I failed Foundation Establishment twice, and my potential was exhausted."

Chen Mobai skimmed through the document Ding Jinglue had sent him regarding Spiritual Roots and understood the reason.

Because Earth Origin Star lacked resources, the great powers of the Immortal Sect could only devote themselves to developing spells and cultivation techniques, hoping to improve the overall caliber of Immortal Sect cultivators through them.

Six thousand years ago, Skywave High Person created the "Gold Transmutation Art," which could enhance the Metal Spiritual Root Attribute. Cultivated to its peak, it could turn an ordinary False Spirit Root with a value below twenty into a Metal Heaven Spirit Root.

By now, the Immortal Sect possessed more than a dozen Secret Methods capable of purifying and enhancing Spiritual Roots.

Even Secret Methods for transforming one's roots into Ice Spirit Roots, Lightning Spirit Roots, or Wind Spirit Roots had spread widely through the various Great Dao Academies and Academies.

"The better your Spiritual Root, the faster you cultivate. But if you spend your time enhancing your Spiritual Root, your time for Qi Refining will decrease accordingly. I am a negative example of this."

"Therefore, the Immortal Sect has a rule that this subject will not be taught in class before university, lest you become distracted."

"After entering university, every Great Dao Academy and Academy has secret techniques for purifying and enhancing Spiritual Roots that suit its own inherited great methods. But whether to cultivate them is still up to the individual."
