Attribute Addition, Heavenly Spiritual Root!

Another month slipped by unnoticed.

During this month, Han Feng still hadn't set foot outside the courtyard. His days were filled entirely with cultivation and martial arts study.

He was like a true ascetic, pouring all his focus into the pursuit of power.

The Yellow Dragon Pills and Golden Marrow Pills that Han Li had given him were long since consumed.

Even the batch of precious pills that his master Wang Juechu later sent had been converted into pure energy.

The numbers on the attribute panel had finally accumulated to an astonishing level.

50 points!

A full 50 Attribute Points, and Han Feng hadn't used a single one.

His Positive Yang Force remained at the sixth layer, not yet breaking through to the seventh.

The other two martial skills, however, had seen some progress.

During this time, Han Feng had mainly trained in the Elephant Armor Skill, an External Martial Art.

This was because Li Feiyu had visited Han Li last time, and Han Li had him deliver the Elephant Armor Skill's cultivation method.

As for training in the Elephant Armor Skill, Han Feng had talent—after all, he was already at the sixth layer of internal cultivation, with a solid martial foundation. In one month, he had reached the entry level.

His height had even grown noticeably.

He looked like a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old youth!

Finally, after absorbing the last bit of medicinal energy from the pills, Han Feng checked his attribute panel and discovered a change he had been waiting for.

Behind the Spiritual Root column, the plus sign that had always been grayed out was now flashing with a glaring red light.

He could add points!

Han Feng's breath caught in his throat, and an indescribable excitement surged within him.

Martial arts had its limits. Only immortal cultivation could grant eternal life!

Without hesitation, he focused his mind on that plus sign.

Code
[Select Attribute Addition!]
[Please select the Spiritual Root attribute for addition (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth)]

He could choose on his own?

This discovery thrilled Han Feng.

The Evergreen Art was a Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique. The answer was obvious.

He silently thought, "Select Wood Attribute!"

The next moment, the numbers on the attribute panel spun wildly, and all 50 Attribute Points vanished in an instant.

A mysterious, profound sensation flowed through his entire body, as if every cell had been remade and cleansed.

He quickly opened the attribute panel again.

Code
Host: Han Feng.
Level: Second-rate Realm.
Age: 10.
Spiritual Root: Wood.
Cultivation Technique: Positive Yang Force (Layer 6), Elephant Armor Skill (Layer 1).
Martial Skill: Thunderous Saber Technique (Minor Success), Smoke-Mist Steps (Minor Success).
Attribute Points: 0.

It worked!

Seeing the Spiritual Root column change from "None" to a simple "Wood" character, Han Feng nearly laughed out loud.

In the world of immortal cultivation, this was called a single-attribute Spiritual Root—the mark of a genius!

A Heavenly Spiritual Root!

The more mixed one's Spiritual Root, the slower the cultivation speed.

But with a single-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root, cultivating a corresponding attribute technique would progress at a lightning-fast pace!

Haha!

Not only was he an unparalleled martial prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years, but once he set foot on the path of immortality, he would also be a favored child of heaven!

Suppressing the wild joy in his heart, Han Feng immediately sat cross-legged, took out the papers recording the Evergreen Art from his bosom, and began earnestly studying them.

According to the system's rules, he had to first comprehend it on his own and train the technique to the "Not Yet Started" state before the plus sign would light up.

As long as he could get started, he could once again blaze a trail of godlike speed by popping pills and adding points!

But reality doused him with a bucket of cold water.

Three days straight.

He had thrown himself into it, memorizing the first-layer chant of the Evergreen Art until it rolled off his tongue, trying to sense the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth.

Yet no matter how hard he tried, there was no movement inside his body.

That so-called "Spiritual Energy" was utterly imperceptible, let alone something he could draw in.

On the attribute panel, the Cultivation Technique slot still hadn't shown the words Evergreen Art.

"Looks like I need to ask Brother Er Leng for some cultivation experience..."

Han Feng made up his mind.

Without guidance from someone who'd been through it, starting from scratch was way too hard.

And it just so happened that the day to meet Han Li had arrived.

In a clearing in the woods.

Han Feng's figure appeared silently.

Han Li had been waiting for a while; seeing him arrive, he immediately stepped forward.

"A Niu, you're finally here. You feel different again this time."

Han Li circled around Han Feng, clicking his tongue in amazement.

It had only been a month since they last met, and his cousin had shot up another notch in height.

"I've been training in the Elephant Armor Skill lately, so my body's growing faster," Han Feng casually explained.

He didn't bring up his martial arts progress again but instead shifted the topic and cut straight to the point.

"Brother Er Leng, I had my Master take a look at that Cultivation Technique you gave me..."

Han Feng launched into the carefully prepared story.

"My Master couldn't make heads or tails of it either, but over this past month, I've combed through every ancient text I could access in the sect, and I finally found some clues."

Han Li's expression immediately sharpened.

"What did you find?"

Han Feng deliberately paused, lowering his voice to create a mysterious, weighty atmosphere.

"Based on the scattered records I found, combined with my guesses... Brother Er Leng, what you're cultivating is most likely not a mortal martial art."

"Instead... it's a technique from the legends—the cultivation method of immortals!"

Boom!

Immortals?

A cultivation technique for immortals?
