"Master, shall we return to the Heavenly Dao Sect now?"
After the simple apprenticeship ceremony, Shen Yue asked this suddenly appearing, albeit nominal, master a question.
"No, I'll wait another ten days before going back."
"Is Master worried that someone will try to steal my precious disciple from you?"
Mu Hanyue rolled her eyes at Shen Yue, thinking that her disciple seemed to have a rather thick skin!
But it's not annoying.
He nodded and said, "Yes, so I must first teach you the techniques and pass on my skills."
"So, others won't compete with Master for it?" Shen Yue asked, puzzled.
"Yes, the law should not be passed on lightly, and techniques should not be learned indiscriminately. Different lineages have their own differences, and if one learns them indiscriminately, one will inevitably ruin one's foundation."
"Just as fire cannot exist without water, I follow the lineage of the Ice Spirit. Once I have inherited this lineage, I cannot follow any other lineage."
"And within the entire Heavenly Dao Sect, only I, the original owner, cultivate Ice- attribute technique."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yue asked, "Master, is the attribute of Spiritual Root related to the cultivation technique one learns?"
"Right!"
This is different from the online novels I've read before!
In most fantasy novels, Spiritual Root have ranks and attributes.
What is the best single- Spiritual Root, and what is the worst Five Elements Spiritual Root?
Isn't that how it's always written?
" The Final Master, do Spiritual Root not have a surname?"
" Spiritual Qi itself has no affiliation, so where does Spiritual Root come from?"
Hmm? That makes sense.
If Spiritual Root have attributes, then Spiritual Qi must also have corresponding attributes.
Wood Spiritual Root can only absorb wood-related Spiritual Qi, Water Spiritual Root can only absorb water-related Spiritual Qi.
However, most fantasy novels rarely mention that Spiritual Qi has attributes.
Spiritual Qi has attributes, then Spirit Stone must also have attributes.
Spirit Stone have attributes, then weapons and elixirs should also have attributes.
However, these elements are basically absent in fantasy novels.
This is very unreasonable.
The world's concept of Spiritual Root and Spiritual Qi is much more reasonable.
Furthermore, the distinctions between the grades of Spiritual Root that Mu Hanyue mentioned before are now clearer and more explicit.
This cultivation of immortality feels kind of real now!
"Master, can't I hide my Divine-Grade Spiritual Root?" Shen Yue asked again.
Mu Hanyue shook her head. "It can't be hidden."
"Any knowledgeable cultivator could recognize it at a glance."
So, was that incompetent teammate just ignorant?
"To most cultivators, your Spiritual Root is like the full moon in the night, its brilliance dazzling and impossible to conceal."
"Therefore, once you return to the Heavenly Dao Sect Dao Integration, you must not leave the sect until your cultivation reaches the Dao Integration stage."
"Oh my god!" Shen Yue was dumbfounded.
Isn't this tantamount to locking her up?
" The Final Master, how long will it take me to reach the Dao Integration Realm?"
Mu Hanyue said with some envy, " Divine-Grade Spiritual Root, reaching the Dao Integration, takes at most ten years."
"Ten years?"
"What, you're still not satisfied after ten years? Do you know how long it took me to reach the Unification Realm?"
Before Shen Yue could guess, Mu Hanyue continued, "It took two thousand five hundred years."
"But I only possess Heaven Pin Spiritual Root; reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm in another hundred years will be my Limit."
"You can Dao Integration in ten years, what more could you possibly want?"
Ten years is indeed an incredible amount of time compared to two thousand five hundred years.
Can one cultivate in seclusion for ten years?
Shen Yue couldn't handle it.
Ten years is impossible.
Thankfully, she had a cheat code.
At worst, we can prepare more mutated foods that can enhance our Spiritual Root.
For the next nine days, Shen Yue randomly found a secluded mountain Old Lin.
They set up Concealment Formation and taught Shen Yue martial arts techniques.
On the tenth day, which was also the last day of the Heavenly Dao Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, Mu Hanyue finally prepared to return to the sect with Shen Yue.
At this time, Shen Yue's cultivation had already broken through to the Qi Refining Realm.
However, he encountered the same problem as Ling Yi.
There is only one Spirit Pool. As Spiritual Root continuously improves, the Spirit Pool grows larger and larger, implying infinity.
It seems like it can never be filled.
If it cannot be filled, then naturally a second Spirit Pool cannot be created.
Mu Hanyue didn't seem to care about this.
The purpose of the Multi- Spirit Pool is to accumulate more Spiritual Power.
Whether the number of Spirit Pool increases or the number of Spirit Pool increases, the final result is the same, so there's no need to dwell on it.
However, the timing of the Spirit Tempering is somewhat uncertain.
How large the Spirit Pool should be is something only Shen Yue can decide.
However, before returning to the Heavenly Dao Sect, Shen Yue had Mu Hanyue take her to several cities and plunder a huge amount of food.
They looted almost everything that was edible.
Mu Hanyue didn't ask why; she let her beloved disciple have his way.
"Master, aren't you going to stop it?" Shen Yue couldn't help but ask.
"What am I stopping you from, buying food?"
"That's right, isn't it said that ordinary food will pollute the Spiritual Qi of cultivators?"
Mu Hanyue shook her head and laughed, "Where did you hear that from?"
"Cultivation is essentially a path of self-evolution—the evolution of body, spirit, mind, and soul."
"If mere mortal food could corrupt the body, then immortal cultivators would be far too fragile."
"Once your cultivation is complete, you will be able to swallow and absorb not only ordinary food, but even fine steel and rusty iron."
That makes sense!
The idea in cultivation novels that one can only consume Fasting Pill and cannot easily eat mortal food is, of course, complete nonsense.
For example, right now, haven't we become Big Eater?
The small cakes, weighing over ten pounds, were gone in no time, yet I felt no fullness whatsoever.
He's only at the Qi Refining Realm!
At this moment, Shen Yue took out another small cake.
"Master, aren't you worried that I'll neglect my cultivation and become obsessed with delicious food?"
Mu Hanyue reached out and took the small cake from Shen Yue's hand.
He put it directly into his mouth.
"The path of cultivation is long, and having some preferences is not a bad thing. Do you want to cultivate into ice in water or stone in the soil?"
Shen Yue nodded blankly.
His gaze, however, remained fixed on his master.
Oh no, my secret has been exposed.
She never expected that her master would snatch the food from her hands.
But it was too late to stop it.
How should we explain this next?
"Mmm, it's really delicious, I haven't had it in a long time..."
Mu Hanyue paused, stunned.
As a powerful being at the Unification Realm, she could naturally sense the Changes in her Spiritual Root.
I happened to see Shen Yue's somewhat flustered eyes.
"Is this your secret?" Mu Hanyue asked.
"Okay!" Shen Yue nodded.
"You can turn ordinary food into a treasure?"
"Yes!" Shen Yue nodded again.
Mu Hanyue gasped.
Everyone has secrets, and so does Mu Hanyue.
But this precious disciple's secret is just too incredible.
"So, this is how you acquired your Divine-Grade Spiritual Root?"
At this point, what could Shen Yue say?
"Master, you wouldn't happen to have some strange thoughts about your precious disciple, would you?"
Do you think I would steal your opportunity?
"Um!"
"I don't know. An opportunity is an opportunity precisely because it is tailor-made for you."
Those who steal from others will inevitably suffer the Karma.
"Really?" Shen Yue blinked.
"At least I, your teacher, wouldn't!"
"Master, let's make a deal!"
How so?
"Master, I'll take care of all your cultivation resources from now on, but you have to keep this a secret."
"Can I, as your teacher, also attain Divine-Grade Spiritual Root?"
"Can!"
"You've made the right choice in taking this disciple," Mu Hanyue suddenly said with a smile.
"Master, you've made a killing on this investment."
The master and apprentice exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
Next, there was the scene of Shen Yue returning to the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Just as Mu Hanyue said, she acted first and informed later, so no one could take away her precious disciple.
The sect leader ultimately classified Shen Yue's existence as a top secret of the sect.
The matter was temporarily dropped.
Meanwhile, in the center of the Demon Land, Ling Yi was staring blankly at a lump of iron.
