"The auxiliary cultivation function is working properly. Now, each of you can choose a spell you haven't learned before and try it out."
Seeing that the group's cultivation speed had increased significantly with the help of their Spiritual Root, Li Xingkong prepared to conduct the next experiment.
The few cultivators who weren't chosen were heartbroken. If they had known they would face this fate, they would have washed their faces, prayed to the gods, and come back later.
Although judging from the scale of this experiment, it's likely to be rolled out nationwide in the future, but this is a cheat code, and getting it a day earlier means improving your cultivation a little sooner.
Moreover, Li Xingkong personally assembled the equipment for them during the experiment, which was far better than having those incompetent doctors in the army operate on them after it was rolled out.
As everyone knows, in the military, not only do drivers treat people like pigs, but the emergency medical staff also don't treat them like human beings. Just keeping them alive is considered okay; as for more meticulous care for each individual, don't even think about it.
After the cultivation experiment was completed, several cultivators who participated in the experiment came forward and each chose a spell.
When the spell's contents entered their minds, a voice that only they could hear rang in their ears.
"A new spell has been detected. Do you need assistance in learning it?"
This was the effect of the Spiritual Root. The group nodded in agreement and entrusted the cultivation of magic to the Spiritual Root.
At this time, the Spiritual Root transmitted the matter of cultivating magic to the Hexagram Server and began to deduce the magic.
Since no one else has connected to the server yet, only the few people participating in the experiment, the computing power allocated to them is naturally at its maximum.
Within minutes, the calculation results related to the spell were fed back into the Spiritual Root of the individuals.
The Spiritual Root was equally impressive, using a wisp of Magic Power to condense a guiding structure within the cultivator's body.
"The spell structure guide is now open. Simply follow the guide to construct the Spell Seed to complete the spell. Do you wish to activate the auxiliary construction?"
The cultivators were astonished. They hadn't even finished reading the contents of the spell; they had only roughly grasped its function and effects. Before they could finish, their Spiritual Root had already transmitted back the spell's construction method.
"Enable build assistance."
Since I'm participating in an experiment, I naturally need to fully experience the functions of this Spiritual Root.
"Assisting with the construction requires temporary access to Magic Power. Please maintain a stable Magic Power supply and find a safe location."
After Spiritual Root gave them a hint, the group confirmed it again.
Then they realized that the Magic Power within their bodies seemed to have a mind of its own, and began to rapidly build Mana Seed along the guiding structure.
Throughout the entire process, they did not perform any operations, nor did they need to do anything. Manipulating Spiritual Qi, they watched as an unfamiliar Spell Seed took shape within their bodies, like bystanders.
" Spell Seed construction complete, spell introduction complete. Shall we begin spell casting tutorial?"
Less than half an hour later, the new spells that the group had just chosen were already completed. By using Spiritual Qi and Magic Power to touch the Spell Seed, the seed was just as easy to use as if it were their own.
However, they haven't used or cast this spell yet and still need to experiment with it.
But in any case, its function of assisting in the cultivation of magic has been achieved.
"That's amazing!"
A cultivator awoke from his meditation, raised his hand, and a blazing flame appeared in his palm.
"I actually learned the Fireball Spell directly!"
He was somewhat delighted and tossed the fireball in his hand around.
Wow, that's amazing!
The cultivators watching the experiment were even more envious; they really wanted this kind of aid.
"Hehe, this spell is even easier to use than some of the ones I've learned before..."
The fireball in the cultivator's hand was still spinning, but just as he threw it out again, it landed directly on his shoulder, and in an instant, his entire upper body was engulfed in flames.
Li Xingkong's reaction speed was naturally exceptional; with a flick of his wrist, he absorbed all the flames from the man's body.
The upper body of the cultivator who played with fire was completely blackened.
"What's going on..."
The cultivator was somewhat confused; how could his own spell have injured him?
"Since this spell is cultivated with the aid of Spiritual Root, your control over it is not yet sufficient. Until your control improves, this spell is essentially self-inflicted, causing damage to yourself or your teammates."
Unlike spells that one has painstakingly cultivated, which are already thoroughly mastered during practice and therefore unlikely to cause harm, spells that one has already mastered during practice are not prone to causing harm.
Having tested the auxiliary functions of the spells, Li Xingkong withdrew from the laboratory.
There was still a lot of data to be recorded, but the subsequent experiments would be relatively safe, leaving only tedious data recording. Li Xingkong was naturally too lazy to keep an eye on these matters, so he handed them over to the lab members for recording.
Li Xingkong himself turned around and slipped back into Old Tang's office.
Although Old Tang was not present for this experiment, he was closely monitoring it remotely.
"Looks like the experiment went well?"
"It's going quite smoothly, and so far, no adverse reactions have been observed."
As Li Xingkong reached out his hand, and the office water dispenser automatically poured a glass of water, which floated into his hand.
"So I guess your next step is to popularize this thing?"
It's obvious that Li Xingkong didn't prepare this for himself; it's clear who it's meant for.
"I do have that idea, but I'm still a little unsure."
"What? If this thing can really aid in cultivation, that would be an absolutely fantastic thing! What's there to hesitate about?"
"Tell me, is this kind of mindless approach of blindly increasing cultivation and combat power without considering the underlying principles really suitable for most people?"
Li Xingkong this aspect. The various cultivation civilizations that the system had told him at the beginning were still vivid in his mind. When everyone stopped studying and researching the principles, wouldn't cultivation eventually just become about how to utilize Spiritual Root?
Old Tang had a clearer understanding of this issue, after all, he had witnessed Divine Land's journey from weakness to strength.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to accelerate your cultivation, the inability to grasp the underlying principles is the price. But everything must be considered in the context of the times. You can't make a decision by just analyzing the pros and cons from this one particular point."
"Our main problem right now is dealing with the Snail People. Faced with this primary challenge, research-related issues can be considered later. Besides, it doesn't conflict with Divine Land's education system."
"Our education system only begins to seriously teach things that involve the most advanced theories of modern science at the university and even postgraduate levels. Before that, the knowledge taught is mainly for cultivating and selecting people with learning abilities. It can't be said that the knowledge is full of errors, but it is mostly common sense."
"For someone with mediocre learning abilities, exploring principles is torture, but for someone with a research mindset, even with the aid of Spiritual Root, they will explore spontaneously, so there's not much to worry about."
