Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 38 High Grade Spiritual Root
When Ji Chang looked out the window, he found that it was already bright outside.

He walked to the window and pushed open the slightly old wooden window.

With a slight creaking sound, a fresh air mixed with the fragrance of soil and grass blew towards me.

The sunlight fell on him unhindered, as if covering him with a thin layer of golden gauze.

"Has a day already passed?"

Ji Chang stretched and stretched his muscles.

"It seems that my talent for cultivation is definitely not low."

"At least it is definitely a true spiritual root. Considering the influence of the thin spiritual energy of the mortal world, it may even be a high-grade spiritual root."

Ji Chang began to estimate the quality of his spiritual roots based on his own cultivation speed.

"Why think about these things?" Ji Chang shook his head.

"Why don't we just use magic to test it and find out?"

Ji Chang suddenly smiled, walked to a corner of the bedroom and stood in front of a table.

There were several yellowed papers scattered on the table, covered with densely written words.

These words were exactly the various kinds of cultivation knowledge that he had copied down when he was spying on Chen Qianyun before.

These materials can be divided into four volumes in total, the most important of which is the "Snake Taming Art", a practice method of the Cangling Chen family.

In addition to "The Art of Taming Snakes", there are three other volumes of information.

One of the volumes is titled "The True Explanation of Basic Magical Spells", which records many common spells in the world of immortal cultivation. Each spell is explained in great detail, including the casting gestures, formulas, the routes of magic power circulation, etc.

Although these spells are just common stuff in the world of immortal cultivation, for Ji Chang, this book is extremely valuable.

At the very least it can help him better understand and practice magic.

The other volume is "Secret Records of Snake Breeding", which is a secret skill passed down by the Chen family.

It talks about how to capture, tame and cultivate snake monsters. It involves a lot of knowledge about snake monsters, of which breeding knowledge accounts for more than half.

This book "Secret Records of Snake Raising" is also very important to Ji Chang.

This is of great help to Ji Chang in practicing the "Snake Taming Art".

The last volume is titled "Giaozhou Fengwuzhi", which records the customs and people, immortal cultivation families, immortal cultivation markets, and types of monsters in the Jiaozhou area of ​​Zheng State.

There are also some scattered common sense about cultivation, such as the division of spiritual roots, the division of realms and so on.

Although this knowledge seems trivial, it is extremely important to Ji Chang.

Because they can help him better understand the rules and common sense of the world of immortal cultivation.

At this moment, Ji Chang's gaze fell on "The True Explanation of Basic Magic Spells".

He remembered that this book contained the spell he needed now, which could test the quality of his spiritual roots.

He picked up the paper gently and looked carefully for relevant content.

Soon, he found the spell he needed.

Spiritual root testing technique.

This spell is not complicated. For a monk, it usually only takes two or three practices to master it easily.

However, although this method is easy, it also has its limitations.

It can only detect the approximate quality of spiritual roots, but it is powerless against those cultivators with extraordinary talents and special physiques.

Ji Chang took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He began to circulate the magic power in his body according to the methods described in the book.

The next moment, a red light appeared in front of him.

"Red spiritual light is a true spiritual root." "And this dark red spiritual light should be a top-grade spiritual root."

Ji Chang was delighted.

When using the spiritual root testing technique to detect the quality of the spiritual roots, four colors of spiritual light will appear: white, red, blue and purple.

They represent false spiritual roots, true spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots and heavenly spiritual roots respectively.

And based on the depth of the color of the spiritual light, one can further understand the quality of the spiritual root.

For example, dark red spiritual light represents high-grade spiritual roots, and light red spiritual light represents low-grade spiritual roots.

Ji Chang undoubtedly possesses a top-grade spiritual root.

In the world of immortal cultivation, top-grade spiritual roots are second only to cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots and earthly spiritual roots. Their cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary people, and they can refine more spiritual energy in a shorter time.

Such qualifications are rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

As long as one can practice with peace of mind, does not encounter any major accidents, and the resources for practice are not too scarce, one can at least successfully build a foundation and become a true foundation-building practitioner.

"It seems that even if I just started practicing in my twenties, there is still hope that I can successfully build a foundation before the age of sixty."

"It's a pity that the spiritual energy in the mortal world is too thin and not conducive to cultivation."

"Cangling Mountain is the residence of the Chen family. It should have spiritual veins. It is a good place for cultivation."

Ji Chang walked to the window and looked towards the direction of Cangling Mountain.

"However, immortal cultivation families like the Cangling Chen family generally do not recruit cultivators from other races."

"Unless they are craftsmen with special skills, such as alchemists or talisman masters."

"Or it could be used as a breeding pig to produce offspring with spiritual roots."

In the world of cultivating immortals, if both parents possess spiritual roots, there is a chance that their offspring will inherit their parents’ spiritual roots.

It is said that the descendants of powerful monks are born with special physiques.

But correspondingly, the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more difficult it is to conceive offspring.

Therefore, some immortal cultivation families would recruit independent cultivators as breeding pigs to produce offspring with spiritual roots.

In this regard, male and female practitioners each have their own advantages.

Since male cultivators do not need to give birth themselves, they can father more offspring without having to endure the pain of childbirth.

Female cultivators have the opportunity to integrate into the family and become a member of the immortal cultivation family.

But no matter what, joining a family of immortal cultivators as a breeding pig will definitely not have any future at all.

Moreover, once they lose their usefulness, they will be ruthlessly abandoned by the immortal cultivation family.

Unless one is in a desperate situation with no other options left, even a casual cultivator would not make such a choice.

Ji Chang possesses a top-grade spiritual root, so naturally he would not make such a choice.

Then, there is only one thing Ji Chang can do.

Ji Chang picked up a map. The map was not very detailed, but it marked the locations of various immortal cultivation families in Jiaozhou, and also marked the locations of two immortal cultivation markets.

Just as Ji Chang had guessed before, each of the eight counties in Jiaozhou has a family of immortal cultivators. These families each have their own bases and do not invade each other, forming the basic pattern of the immortal cultivation world in Jiaozhou.

In addition, together with the Wang family located in the capital of Jiaozhou, there are a total of nine major immortal cultivation families in Jiaozhou.

Among them, except for the Wang family of Jiaozhou, the other eight immortal cultivation families are all Qi-refining families, and the one with the highest cultivation level in the family is only in the late stage of Qi-refining.

But even so, Ji Chang, who had just broken through to the Qi Refining Stage, was not someone he could provoke.

Ji Chang's gaze lingered briefly on the locations of these immortal cultivation families, and then he looked at the two immortal cultivation markets marked on the map.
