He Pingsheng had a five-element spiritual root!
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth-all five were present.
When he had first embarked on cultivation, Senior Brother Hao Yun had explained with an example that the more spirit roots a person had, the thinner each individual root would be, and the slower they would absorb spiritual energy.
But that did not matter.
I don't need to use my spirit roots!
By swallowing pills, he could send spiritual power through his esophagus directly into his internal meridians and dantian, delivering spiritual energy where it needed to go without passing through his spirit roots.
The same principle applied to Qiao Huizhu's current situation.
Since my spirit roots haven't been activated, I simply won't use them.
I can cultivate just as well by swallowing pills directly.
That raised a question: according to this theory, couldn't ordinary mortals without spirit roots cultivate too?
The answer was no!
Because the meridians that refined spiritual energy were not the same as the ordinary meridians of the human body!
Without spirit roots, a person would not have these cultivation meridians.
Without cultivation meridians to refine spiritual power, swallowing pills would be useless.
"Here..." He Pingsheng took out a supreme-grade [Qi-Gathering Pill] and handed it to Qiao Huizhu. "Senior Sister, try cultivating first... let's see whether you can do it."
"Mm..."
Qiao Huizhu accepted without ceremony, swallowed the Spirit-Gathering Pill, and began circulating her cultivation technique.
To He Pingsheng's astonishment, Qiao Huizhu's cultivation immediately began to build.
From nothing at all, she instantly reached the first layer of Qi Refining Stage.
Then, half an hour later, she reached the second layer of Qi Refining Stage.
After one day, Qiao Huizhu had absorbed all the spiritual power within the Qi-Gathering Pill, and her cultivation had reached the third layer of Qi
