Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

“Shattered the thought of cultivating immortality!”

As soon as these words came out, the four people's expressions changed drastically, especially Zhu Linxian.

“What do you mean by that?”

Feeling the sudden change in the four people's emotions, Chen Zhaohu hesitated slightly, reflecting on whether he had been too direct.

His younger brother, Chen Qingling, was straightforward: “Cultivating immortality requires spiritual roots! In that kind of hellhole you were in, the spiritual energy is completely exhausted. Even if you were born with spiritual roots, they would have withered long ago without spiritual energy to nourish them for so many years!

Wanting to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots? Wishful thinking!”

“Spiritual roots?” The four looked at each other, their faces visibly panicked.

“Spiritual roots are… are bridges on the dantian that connect to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Without this bridge, even if you are surrounded by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you cannot sense, absorb, or even refine it into your own mana!”

“Absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's own mana? Is this cultivating immortality?” The four of them were naturally gifted to become immortal seedlings, and they quickly understood the principle of cultivating immortality.

“Yes, this is cultivating immortality! With mana, you can practice immortal techniques. Of course, mana can also nourish the body and prolong life.” Chen Qingling was eager to teach and quite satisfied.

Seeing the dim faces of the few people, their eyes dull, Chen Zhaohu glared at Chen Qingling: “Go, go, go, you've only eaten spiritual rice for a few years, and you think you know everything?”

“Everyone, don't listen to him.”

“The cultivation of immortality that you want is indeed different from body refining. It's not something you can enter by stimulating your own energy and blood. Instead, you need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As for spiritual roots… they are indeed necessary.”

“However, in this world, we humans are the masters of all living beings, born with all five elements. As long as you can be born here, you all have spiritual roots.”

“The only difference is the degree to which the spiritual roots sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.”

“The more spiritual rhymes an element spiritual root senses, the higher the efficiency of absorbing and refining that element's spiritual energy. If the spiritual rhyme senses less than ten strands, it is relatively slow, which is considered a low-grade spiritual root. From ten strands to twenty strands, the speed of absorbing and refining spiritual energy is faster, which is a medium-grade spiritual root. More than twenty strands is a genius, a high-grade spiritual root. If there are no accidents, foundation establishment is within easy reach, and the golden core can also be expected…”

“Like me, I was born with a metal element spiritual root that senses only two strands of spiritual rhyme, a wood element spiritual root that senses three strands of spiritual rhyme, a water element spiritual root that senses four strands, and fire and earth element spiritual roots that both sense one strand. I am considered the bottom of the low-grade spiritual roots and belong to the vast majority of this world.

But even so, it is by no means impossible to cultivate immortality. It's just a little slow, but… the cultivation world is ever-changing, who dares to guarantee that I won't encounter some kind of opportunity?”

After Chen Zhaohu finished speaking, he looked at everyone again: “So, even if your spiritual roots are poor, you still have a glimmer of hope, it's just… you may need a little bit of luck.”

“You're so sure that our spiritual roots are poor?” Zhu Linxian stood up, hands on the table, shoulders trembling, unwilling to accept it.

Chen Zhaohu smiled awkwardly: “This… those who come from a place devoid of spiritual energy are naturally not good. It can be said that they must be very poor. My brother is right about this.”

“Human beings are born with spiritual roots that have a growth process like the body's muscles and bones. They are not fixed at birth. In addition to innate inheritance, the most important thing is postnatal nourishment and growth, and spiritual energy is the nutrient.

The spiritual roots are truly fixed at the age of fifteen, and if there is no spiritual energy to nourish them during this period, and there is no autonomous sense of energy affinity, the growth of the spiritual roots will definitely not be too good.

In particular, the heaven-forsaken land is not only without the pure spiritual energy of the spiritual veins and dojos, but it is even worse than our spiritual barren land. It is a truly spiritually devoid land without a trace of spiritual energy. Even a super genius with a heaven-born spiritual root will definitely degenerate and even wither completely if they live in that kind of place for a long time.”

“Creak~” Zhu Linxian slumped back into his seat, his face pale.

The other three also looked ashen.

Chen Zhaohu felt a little bitter and wanted to say something to comfort them, but he was too clumsy.

Until he saw Li Ji'an, he was greatly surprised.

He saw that Li Ji'an was still calm and composed, and his eyes were even full of hope…

Seeing Chen Zhaohu looking over, Li Ji'an returned a smile.

Of course he wouldn't be disappointed, and even had great expectations.

If the spiritual roots were fixed at birth, then he should be disappointed, but if they needed to grow, then for him, the hope was great.

This life was already twenty-eight years old. According to Chen Zhaohu, the spiritual roots must be very poor, but it didn't prevent him from starting to nourish the spiritual roots from the age of eight in the next life.

What's more, there are many supernatural powers in the cultivation world, all kinds of immortal techniques, as well as the hundreds of arts of alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and formation, as long as he goes on life after life, there are too many possibilities!

“Tiger, you actually came to patronize my shop again, congratulations.” At this moment, the owner of the food shop walked over with a smile on his face.

Chen Zhaohu retracted his gaze from Li Ji'an and the others, and greeted him with a smile.

“I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. My mission at Tianxian Tower this month is not enough. I really can't afford to supply you anymore. However, my brother caught some good goods, and I introduced them to you as soon as possible. You have to give me a good price.”

“Hahaha, why are you being so polite between brothers? It's a blessing to be favored by Tianxian Tower of Xianfang. Maybe one day you will get a reward from the family.” The shopkeeper patted Chen Zhaohu on the shoulder with a smile, and then picked up the purple-gold sable.

“Two spirit stones! How about it?”

Chen Zhaohu looked at Li Ji'an and nodded with a smile: “This has to be asked of my brother.”

Li Ji'an returned a smile: “Thank you, shopkeeper, I'll give it to you.”

The shopkeeper smiled and asked the boy to take the purple-gold sable away, and then took out two pigeon egg-sized, emerald green spirit stones from his pocket.

“Why don't you exchange it for spirit sand for my brother.” Chen Zhaohu said again.

The shopkeeper looked at Li Ji'an, and when he saw Li Ji'an nodding, he put away the spirit stones again and took out a small bag of spirit sand from his pocket and handed it over.

After the shopkeeper said goodbye, Chen Zhaohu explained: “You are new here, and you probably won't need spirit stones for a long time. Spirit sand is enough to meet your living needs.”

After that, Li Ji'an ate a delicious meal. In addition to the unique flavor, the energy and blood contained in the monster beast meat was several times richer than the treasure beast eaten in the Immortal Dynasty, which made him have unlimited expectations for refining his body in this immortal cultivation world.

As for the other four, they only felt bitter and hard to swallow.

After the meal, Li Ji'an accepted Chen Zhaohu's invitation and returned to his residence with him.

“How is it? It was built by a mid-stage Qi training cultivator from the Huangshan Wei family who is proficient in earth-based spells, and it cost a full ten spirit stones.”

Covering an area of ten acres, the two-story building has a total of ten rooms, as well as a beast pen and a practice yard. The overall earth and stone structure looks very solid and imposing.

“Brother Li, if you don't mind, stay here for the time being. As for whether you want to join us, don't worry, take your time to consider and learn more. There are often cultivators coming and going in the square, and you can also ask for advice. However, it's a mixed bag, so be careful not to be fooled.”

“In addition, there is a spirit measuring stone set up by Xianfang on the north side of the square, which costs ten taels of spirit sand to measure once. If you are not reconciled, you can go and measure it.” Chen Zhaohu said very generously.

Hearing this, the other four immediately couldn't sit still and looked at Li Ji'an.

“Okay, then let's go and measure it.” Li Ji'an understood their eagerness and didn't hesitate. He took the four people to the square again.
