Chapter 155 Yellow Maple Valley, and the Special Waste Spirit Root
Soon, the "Blue Frost Sword" caught up with the horse-faced man, broke through his defensive spell with a few hits, and beheaded him.

But the man with the square face escaped too quickly, and stuck several "Shenxing Talismans" on his body, and he disappeared in a hurry, so Jiang Hu had no choice but to let him go for the time being.

Afterwards, Jiang Hu unceremoniously searched the corpses of the four people who had been beheaded, and made a small fortune.

In addition to the talismans and magic tools they just used, Jiang Hu also found more than 40 low-level spirit stones.

After finishing these, Jiang Hu and Mo Fengwu each posted the "Shenxing Talisman" that Zhang just found, and performed the "Wind Control Art", and stepped on the "Lingbo Weibu" to go to the "Huangfeng Valley". The journey was much faster than before.

……

Located in the northwest of Jianzhou, the Taiyue Mountains are vast and majestic. Not only are various wild animals and birds of prey appearing in the mountains from time to time, there are even occasional woodcutters and hunters claiming to see gods, monsters, and ghosts. a veil of mystery.

Ordinary people can't imagine that most of the entire mountain range has already been occupied by the "Yellow Maple Valley", one of the seven sects of cultivating immortals in the Yue Kingdom, with a mysterious magic circle. It has been thousands of years, and the entire mountain range is only exposed A small corner is reserved for ordinary people.

It seems that the "Yellow Maple Valley" is no different from other mountains. The mountains are steep and the trees are lush, but in fact they are all illusions. Countless towers, halls, and some magic tools in the shape of pedal leaves have been built in it. The immortal cultivators were flying around at low altitudes, constantly busy.

The current head of Huang Fenggu, named Zhong Lingdao, is over 100 years old, but he still looks middle-aged with three long beards.

His cultivation level is in the late stage of foundation establishment, he is calm in nature, good at organization and management, and has a high prestige in the valley, and the elders in the valley and his brothers all trust him very much.

Now, the head of the sect, who was usually calm and unhurried, with the appearance of a "master of Taoism", was pacing up and down the hall, as if waiting for something.

"The last time someone came to visit our 'Huangfeng Valley' with the 'Decree of Immortal Ascension', it was hundreds of years ago. I didn't expect to see it again in my lifetime. It's strange, strange!" The elder said.

"I don't know how qualified that baby is..." said another elder whose surname was Murong.

After a while, a young monk came in and reported, "Master, the aptitude test has been completed."

Master Zhong asked: "How is that person's qualifications?"

The young monk said: "Pseudo-spiritual roots have five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

When Master Zhong and the elders heard this, their expressions were a little sad. They originally thought that the person who could come up with the "Order of Immortal Ascension" should have a strong background, and even if his aptitude was not good, it would not be too bad. It is the worst pseudo-spiritual root, mixed with five attributes!
Generally speaking, "spiritual roots" have attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Most people with spiritual roots have mixed five or four attributes.

This kind of spiritual root, collectively referred to as "pseudo-spiritual root", is regarded as the worst qualification by the immortal cultivation world in the human world, and most immortal cultivators are unwilling to accept immortal cultivators with this kind of qualification.

In their view, immortal cultivators with "false spiritual roots" are almost no different from ordinary people, and the difficulty of cultivation is unimaginable.

The spiritual energy they have absorbed with great difficulty in cultivation needs to nourish four or five attributes, which undoubtedly greatly slows down the progress of cultivation.

Therefore, "pseudo-spiritual root" cultivators basically spend their entire lives, and can only cultivate to the third or fourth level of qi refining, and there is no hope of building a foundation in their entire life.

Contrary to "pseudo-spiritual roots", there are only two or three attributes of spiritual roots, which are called "true spiritual roots". Immortal cultivators who have "true spiritual roots", as long as they are not too old, are mostly interested in various sects of immortality Received.

The spiritual root with only one attribute is called "Heavenly Spiritual Root", and it is the genius of immortality that all the major sects of immortality want to compete for!

After all, the spiritual roots of "Tian Linggen" cultivators are pure and single, so the speed of cultivation is much faster than that of ordinary cultivators, and when they reach the peak of the foundation-building stage, they don't need to face the problems of entering the alchemy stage. Faced with the bottleneck, the ultimate confidence in forming a golden pill is great.

It can be said that every time the Cultivation sect grabs a "Tianlinggen" fairy seedling, it is almost equivalent to booking a future alchemy master for the sect!
In addition, in addition to the "false spiritual root", "true spiritual root" and "heavenly spiritual root", there is also a "mutated spiritual root".

The so-called "mutated spiritual root" refers to a mixture of two or three basic five-element attributes, mutated and sublimated spiritual roots, such as "Thunder Spirit Root", "Ice Spirit Root", "Wind Spirit Root", "Dark Spirit Root" root", "Holy Spirit root"...

Immortal cultivators with "mutated spiritual roots" are not immune to the bottleneck of alchemy formation like "heavenly spiritual roots", but their cultivation speed is comparable to "heavenly spiritual roots".

The young monk continued: "However... that person's 'pseudo-spiritual root' seems to be a little different..."

Master Zhong sighed: "It's just a 'pseudo-spiritual root', what else is different..." The tone was quite disappointed.

The young monk said: "That person seems to be in his 20s, but the 'pseudo-spiritual root' in his body has the immature feeling that a child of a certain age should have.

Moreover... the 'pseudo-spiritual root' in his body not only nourishes the five attributes, but also separates a part of the aura to nourish the body, which makes his cultivation more difficult than the general five-attribute 'pseudo-spiritual root' . "

Of course he didn't know that Jiang Gourd's "spiritual root" was formed after "introduction to Taoism through martial arts", and it has only been a few years since then.

When Master Zhong and the elders heard this, although they were a little curious, their disappointment deepened.

"Hey, what's the point... the 'pseudo-spiritual root' that nourishes the five attributes has already cut off the idea of ​​the Dao, and his spiritual root has to allocate part of the aura to nourish the body. What is the practice? , How difficult it is to ascend to the realm...I'm afraid...I'm afraid I will stay on the second or third level of Qi Refining for the rest of my life..." Elder Ye couldn't help sighing.

Headmaster Zhong asked: "What is that person's cultivation level now?"

The young monk said: "The tenth floor of Qi refining."

"Huh?" Elder Ye was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to be slapped in the face with "pa, pa" when he just said it...

Master Zhong was also surprised, and said: "It's not easy, the 'pseudo-spiritual root' of five attributes can actually be cultivated to the tenth level of Qi refining."

The well-informed Elder Murong said indifferently: "This doesn't explain anything, maybe it's just because his family forcibly poured a lot of cultivation resources into him... Hehe, burning mountains of gold and silver, and raising a 'false boy who is doomed to be hopeless' Lingen', what a waste..."

Elder Ye nodded, and said: "Yes, our Huangfeng Valley must not do such a stupid thing, I am afraid that it will consume the cultivation resources of the entire Huangfeng Valley, and it will not be enough for this 'pseudo-spiritual root' to form alchemy."
