Companion Spirit Root, Creating a Cultivation Method Together

Looking at the palaces Wu Chu had built atop the tree, the two couldn't help but sigh inwardly, especially at the Main Hall adorned with Merit Divine Patterns, which left them speechless.

Looking at the Spirit Root, Hong Yun exclaimed in surprise, "How much Merit did you give it? It actually grew from a high-grade Innate Spirit Root to a top-grade Innate Spirit Root. It's not much worse than your Ginseng Fruit, brother!" He was referring to Zhen Yuanzi with the last sentence.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's lips twitched involuntarily. He wanted to rub his forehead and pretend he didn't know this person, but in the end, he could only offer a wry smile.

Wu Chu simply smiled. Hong Yun was straightforward and outspoken; these words came out without warning. Perhaps, in his view, there was no need to hide anything. However, wasn't that ginseng Ginseng Fruit Tree said to be Chaos Spiritual Root? How could this Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple fruit compare to it?

"Nine-tenths of my Merit was devoured by it." Wu Chu gave a wry smile, not following up on the topic of the Ginseng Fruit Tree with Zhen Yuanzi, but instead said, "However, I did establish some connection with it; it seems to have become my alter ego."

Upon hearing this, Hong Yun laughed heartily and said, "It's not an avatar, but Companion Spirit Root. This means it also feels guilty for absorbing too much of your Merit and is taking the initiative to befriend you. With this Companion Spirit Root, your cultivation speed will definitely be much faster than before, and you should already have experienced that."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu suddenly realized: So this is what Companion Spirit Root is!

The three chatted as they reached the Summit of the Sacred Tree. Seeing the Main Hall, especially the central Main Hall, Hong Yun couldn't help but ask curiously, "My Fire Cloud Palace was also built in a similar style, so why hasn't Heavenly Dao bestowed Merit upon me? How did you manage to do it?"

Although Zhen Yuanzi felt that Hong Yun's question was somewhat impolite due to its directness, he couldn't help but prick up his ears; he was also very curious.

He even decided to build a palace complex on his Longevity Mountain.

Wu Chu asked, "I wonder how you built your Fire Cloud Palace?"

Hong Yun was taken aback upon hearing this. "How else could it be forged? Just fuse all the precious materials together with magic power and then embed an array of restrictions within it, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Wu Chu smiled and shook his head, "My Main Hall wasn't forged from magical power, but rather pieced together from individual blocks. Fellow Daoist, you can take a closer look and see the differences."

Zhen Yuanzi, standing to the side, suddenly realized, "I wondered why there were no traces of formations or restrictions in these palaces! It turns out they were pieced together from individual sections."

The two scanned the palaces with their Divine Sense, and after a while, Hong Yun exclaimed, "Indeed extraordinary! Although these palaces are pieced together, they are interlocked and fit together perfectly, looking as if they were forged into one with magical power. The only thing missing is an array or restriction."

"I don't understand array formations or restrictions either!" Wu Chu shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Little Moon Spirit and I have very low cultivation levels. Little Moon Spirit has only recently Transformation Form and hasn't yet comprehended array formations or restrictions. No Human Sect us those, so we can only use this primitive and foolish method."

"Fellow Daoist, you are too modest!" Hong Yun shook his head and laughed, "If I had known that such a foolish method could gain the favor of Heavenly Dao, I would have used such a foolish method as well."

Zhen Yuanzi also laughed and said, "As for array formations and restrictions, as long as your cultivation is sufficient, and you study those Spirit Treasure and the various Innate restrictions derived from Spirit Root, you can comprehend them on your own. It's not a difficult task."

Perhaps Zhen Yuanzi, deep down, also accepted Wu Chu's previous theory of "All Selves as One," so his demeanor and words were now less distant.

Upon entering the Main Hall, Wu Chu began his cultivation. Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi's Divine Sense then landed on Wu Chu's body and began to travel along his meridians within his body.

As they looked around, the two secretly began to communicate. "Brother, why don't we stay here temporarily and help him create an Earth Immortal Cultivation Method? What do you think?"

When Zhen Yuanzi heard Hong Yun ask Wu Chu if he could see how Wu Chu cultivated, he had already suspected Hong Yun would meddle, but hearing it now still left him somewhat helpless. So he voiced his thoughts, "Brother Dao wants to lend a hand, and I have no objection. However, what if the Dragon Clan comes here seeking revenge in the future?"

"Brother's worries are somewhat unnecessary. The Eastern Sea is so far from here that, even at the Dragon Clan' flying speed, it would probably take at least a hundred or two hundred years to reach it, unless the dragon that comes here is True Dragon of the Daluo Realm. But I believe that True Dragon of the Daluo Realm will not appear for a mere Golden Immortal."

Hong Yun smiled confidently, "In a hundred or eighty years, if we are still unable to develop a cultivation method suitable for beings at the Earth Immortal Realm, then we are truly incompetent."

"..."

When Hong Yun revealed this confident expression and started doing things capriciously, Zhen Yuanzi was completely helpless against him. Although this kind of capriciousness was obviously annoying, Hong Yun's confidence had an undeniable charm, making it hard for Zhen Yuanzi to dislike him.

Besides being deeply indebted to Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi was also greatly influenced and attracted by Hong Yun's free-spirited and unrestrained personality. Even though Hong Yun was sometimes outspoken and said things that caught people off guard, her flaws did not outweigh her virtues.

And so, Wu Chu became the experimental subject of these two great predecessors.

Of course, this was done voluntarily by Wu Chu.

Moreover, from another perspective, it can be seen as these two senior figures tailoring a cultivation method to suit him personally, which is an unparalleled honor.

Autumn harvest, winter storage, spring goes and autumn comes again.

And so it went, day after day, year after year.

In the third year since Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi arrived in this place, Wu Chu, with their help, went through countless attempts and finally developed a cultivation method that suited him.

There were successes and failures along the way. In fact, there was more than one method he created. Sometimes Wu Chu felt that he had done a very good job, but the other two felt that it was not perfect enough and could not fully utilize Wu Chu's own advantages, which was somewhat unworthy of their current cultivation level.

In his interactions with them, Wu Chu also discovered that although Hong Yun had a carefree personality, she was a perfectionist who wanted to do everything perfectly.

On the contrary, Zhen Yuanzi, who had a serious and dignified appearance, seemed somewhat indifferent to many things, giving people the feeling that "good enough is good enough".

The cultivation method they created for Wu Chu incorporated the Golden Core theory that Yibao secretly provided to Wu Chu. Yibao might not be very good at fighting, but she is a master at data analysis.

Based on the acupoints within Wu Chu's own bodies, and combined with the theories of "Three Flowers Gather at the Crown" and "Five Qi Returning to the Origin to the Origin," the three of them jointly created a cultivation method that leads directly to the Golden Immortal realm.

After reaching the Golden Immortal, there is no longer a need for specific cultivation methods; that is enlightenment, comprehending the Great Dao of Nature of Heaven and Earth, which depends solely on each person's comprehension. This is something that cultivation methods cannot solve.

Just after this first Alchemy Cultivation Method in the Primordial World was completed, a massive amount of Merit descended from the sky, splitting into three parts and falling on Wu Chu and the other two.

This surprised both Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi. They then exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

Wu Chu was also somewhat bewildered, unable to understand why creating a law would Merit.

However, the amount of Merit he received made Wu Chu very happy.

Although a large portion of it was quietly taken by Yibao, the feeling of being drained after saving Sacred Tree has finally disappeared quite a bit.

After devising a suitable cultivation method for Wu Chu, Hong Yun flicked her wide sleeves, sending out specks of spiritual light that flew towards the Flower Valley beneath the Sacred Tree.

Zhen Yuanzi was puzzled and asked him what he was doing.

Hong Yun laughed and said, "I am passing on the cultivation methods we have researched to these flowers so that they can try them out and see how effective they are. At the same time, we can continue to improve them and see if we can create a basic cultivation method suitable for the vast majority of Earth Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu blinked, glanced at Zhen Yuanzi, and thought to himself: If Hong Yun hadn't died, would the title of Ancestor of Earth Immortals have ever fallen to Zhen Yuanzi?
