Chapter 5 – Technique to enhance spiritual roots


When Ding Jinglue announced the end of class, everyone in the classroom rushed to the practice room. Chen Mobai pretended to fall behind and didn’t catch up with the first group, then stomped his foot and sighed, using the excuse of going to the bathroom to sneak into the teacher’s office.

In the Immortal Gate teaching, there were only morning classes and self-study in the afternoon. After class, students crowded into the practice room, and teachers were no exception. Except for the old cultivators like Ding Jinglue who had exhausted their potential and were destined not to establish a foundation, others like Chai Deyun were practicing outside of class, racing against time.

However, even so, only Ding Jinglue gave up his spot in the second-stage Qi Refining practice room. Chen Mobai thought that there should only be Ding Jinglue in the teacher’s office at this time, but when he arrived at the door, he found that there was already a classmate inside besides himself. It was not Song Zheng, the inheritor of Ding Jinglue’s teachings, but Yan Bingxuan, another genius in their class who had reached the later stage of Qi Refining.

With a beautiful face without makeup, long hair down to her shoulders, and a school uniform that couldn’t hide her tall figure, Yan Bingxuan lightly frowned when she saw Chen Mobai standing at the door, then bowed slightly to Ding Jinglue and left. Chen Mobai nodded at Yan Bingxuan as she walked out, and she hesitated for a moment before responding with a nod as well. Although they were in the same class, they only had a nodding acquaintance.

However, Chen Mobai felt that compared to last semester, Yan Bingxuan’s personality and temperament seemed to have become colder. Like matching her name, this genius cultivator made herself more and more indifferent.

“Chen Mobai, why are you here instead of waiting at the practice room? Why do you have time to come to me?” Ding Jinglue thought he was a relatively humorous person. Chen Mobai smiled and walked in with him.

“Well, my mother hired a tutor to teach me how to apply spells in practice in order to get a good score in the college entrance examination. Yesterday, he left me with a homework assignment to crack a water-like defense prohibition, but I am really dull and have no way to do it, so I came to ask for your help, Mr. Ding.”

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Ding Jinglue didn’t doubt him. After all, the best way to improve spell cultivation was through continuous practice. Although the school taught a wide range of content, it was indeed not as good as some private tutors in specific spells and prohibitions.

“Your mother is quite generous. Private tutors are not cheap.” Ding Jinglue searched for the origin of the water prohibition in his spell database according to Chen Mobai’s description, while casually asking.

“My mother has high expectations for me, and I can only work hard. Thank you very much, Mr. Ding.” Chen Mobai couldn’t say much, he could only be evasive, and then told Ding Jinglue in detail about his attempts to test the water prohibition with coins in the Water Palace.

“According to your description, it is very likely that this prohibition is formed by solidifying these three spells.” After Ding Jinglue gave up on establishing a foundation, he focused all his energy on education. He was very attentive to Chen Mobai, who took the initiative to seek advice. He pulled out three spells from his spell database and sent them to Chen Mobai’s personal database address.

Flowing Water Cover, Surging Wave Curse, and Scale Wave Art.

“I have sent the specific spell content and cracking methods to your personal database. Go home and try it out yourself. If it still doesn’t work, you can write a report and send it to me.” Chen Mobai saw that Ding Jinglue had packaged the documents of these three spells and sent them to his interface address, and thanked him repeatedly.

If you wanted to download the information of these three spells from the Immortal Gate spell database, you would need to pay thirty points of Good Deed.Moreover, without Teacher Ding Jinglue, who is extremely knowledgeable in spell research, Chen Mobai would have to search the vast ocean of the internet by himself, not knowing how many days and nights it would take.

The school’s benefits are really great!

Chen Mobai sighed from the bottom of his heart, which is why they attach so much importance to the college entrance examination.

If one can be admitted to those great academies, not only can they obtain spells, but even secret methods for breaking through realms, divine abilities, and immortal techniques can be obtained for free.

On Earth’s Elemental Star, due to the influence of a previous mechanical civilization, there is basically no barrier to knowledge.

As long as one’s cultivation reaches the late stage of the Elemental Infant, they can obtain the Deification secret method passed down by the Immortal Gate for free.

It is precisely because of this atmosphere that the Immortal Gate can still give birth to Deification ancestors in the resource-depleted domain of Earth’s Elemental Star.

“By the way, Teacher Ding, was Yan Bingxuan also here to consult you on spells just now?”

Before leaving, Chen Mobai thought of what had just happened and asked subconsciously.

“Her? After entering the late stage of Qi Refining, she seems to have decided to transform her dual-attribute True Spiritual Root of Gold and Water into an Ice Spiritual Root and is consulting me on the insights of purifying and upgrading her spiritual root.”

Chen Mobai didn’t expect to get an answer, but Ding Jinglue said it directly, causing the former to widen his eyes in shock.

“This… can spiritual roots be transformed and upgraded?”

“Oh, you haven’t reached that level yet, but it’s not a problem to tell you in advance.”

Ding Jinglue tapped on his keyboard a few more times, selected a document, and sent it to Chen Mobai.

“The reason I was able to be admitted to the Pure Yang Academy was that I had secluded myself in the Danzhu Academy for twenty years, transforming my spiritual root into the Three Yang Body, which is a variant of the mutant spiritual root.”

“However, after twenty years of hard work, although my spiritual root has become top-grade, the time left for me to achieve the perfection of Qi Refining was insufficient.”

“You all know the story of my later years. Even with the Three Yang Body, I failed to establish my foundation twice and exhausted my potential.”

Chen Mobai briefly skimmed the document on spiritual roots sent by Ding Jinglue and understood the reason.

On Earth’s Elemental Star, due to the lack of resources, the powerful figures of the Immortal Gate can only devote themselves to researching spells and cultivation techniques, hoping to improve the overall quality of Immortal Gate cultivators.

Six thousand years ago, Master Tianbo created the “Gold Pointing Technique”, which could enhance the Gold attribute of spiritual roots. When cultivated to the peak, it could transform an ordinary pseudo-spiritual root below 20 into a Gold 【Heavenly Spiritual Root】.

Up to now, the Immortal Gate has more than a dozen secret techniques that can purify and enhance spiritual roots.

Even secret techniques for transforming into Ice Spiritual Roots, Thunder Spiritual Roots, and Wind Spiritual Roots are widely circulated in various academies and colleges.

“The better the spiritual root, the faster the cultivation. But if you spend time on improving your spiritual root, the time for Qi Refining will be reduced accordingly. I am a negative example.”

“Therefore, the Immortal Gate has regulations that this content will not be taught in classrooms before college to prevent you from being distracted.”

“After entering college, all the major academies and colleges have secret techniques for purifying and enhancing spiritual roots suitable for their own inheritance, but whether to practice them still depends on the individual.”
