“The eighth rank…” Luo Ying silently repeated, his heart filled with longing. Ever since he learned from Jiang Li that there were beings comparable to eighth rank enhancers, his goal had become to reach that rank.

Luo Zhu, on the other hand, didn’t feel much of anything. Whether it was first rank, second rank, seventh rank, or eighth rank, they were all just numbers to her.

“Before achieving immortality, one must pass through seven stages: Qi

Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Body Integration, and Tribulation Crossing. Finally, one ascends to the status of Immortal. These seven stages roughly correspond to your enhancer system.”

“Cultivation requires three prerequisites.”

“First is the Spiritual Root. Everyone has a Spiritual Root. The difference lies in whether it’s a Five-element Root or a Heavenly Root. Among all Spiritual Roots, the Five-element Root is the lowest, whereas the Heavenly Root is the most prime. However, the type of Spiritual Root is not a decisive factor. Today in the Nine Provinces, there are cultivators with Five-element Roots who have managed to reach the point of harmonizing three elements, attaining the Body Integration Realm.”

“Follow my instructions, clear your minds, and sense your own Spiritual Roots.”

During Ming Zhong’s time, Jiang Li was able to directly guide him, but this time he could only rely on spoken words to indirectly guide the siblings to find their Spiritual Roots.

Luckily, both of their Spiritual Roots were of exceptional quality, making them easy to locate.

Luo Ying closed his eyes, continually imagining himself sinking deeper and deeper. It felt like days, or possibly only seconds, until he felt as though he had fallen onto a soft cotton, a sensation so gentle and comfortable.

He sensed a deep heat and dampness within his body. The two sensations were intermingled, coexisting harmoniously.

This indicated that his Fire and Water spiritual roots were balanced.

Luo Zhu had nearly the same feeling as her brother, but inside her body, it felt like an icy cave. However, she didn’t feel cold.

This indicated that she had a mutated single Spiritual Root, an Ice Spiritual Root.

“Second is the Spiritual Energy. Although the Spiritual Energy on this planet is thin, it’s enough for cultivation.”

Jiang Li had noticed early on that compared to the apocalypse of the future, the Spiritual Energy of the present time was incredibly pure. It wasn’t contaminated with any zombie virus and was safe to use abundantly. “Close your eyes and feel the Spiritual Energy.”

The siblings lightly closed their eyes, but their vision was not submerged in darkness. Instead, they saw many small points of light flickering with a blue glow.

“It’s so beautiful.” Luo Zhu couldn’t help but exclaim.

Because they had already found their Spiritual Roots, their sensitivity to the

bpmncual Energy was mucn snarper man average people.

Once they attained a certain level of cultivation, they would be able to clearly sense the Spiritual Energy even without closing their eyes.

While Luo Zhu was immersed in the beauty of her first encounter with Spiritual

Energy, Luo Ying opened his eyes in confusion. “If everyone has Spiritual Roots, and there is an ample amount of Spiritual Energy, does that mean everyone can cultivate?”

“Not exactly, there’s one most important factor in cultivation: the pathway through which Spiritual Energy circulates within the body. This process is known as the Circulation Cycle. One complete cycle is called a ‘Circulation’.”

“But you must remember, the Spiritual Energy cannot circulate randomly within the body. It must follow a specific route, otherwise, the slightest mistake can lead to internal injuries, or even death.” Jiang Li solemnly warned the siblings. His words were by no means an exaggeration.

In the schools of the Nine Provinces, all teachers would warn their students to never practice cultivation by themselves without a proper understanding of the Circulation Path.

Once the students were capable of initiating a Circulation, the teachers guided them one-on-one during their practice to prevent any accidents.

“The Circulation Path is not singular but adaptable according to the quality of the Spiritual Energy, the speed of circulation, the points it traverses, and so

“

In the Nine Provinces, there’s another term for the Circulation Path: the Cultivation Technique.

Since every beginning cultivator is unaware of their strengths and weaknesses, they often regret their choice of Cultivation Technique later on. For example, a cultivator with a Fire Spiritual Root who chooses an aggressive Fire-attributed Cultivation Technique may later discover that they are actually inclined towards beast taming. They will feel regret, as beasts are sensitive to fire and don’t favor cultivators with a strong fire attribute. This forces him to switch to a gentler Fire-attributed Cultivation Technique, which can waste years of progress while his peers advance far ahead.

That’s why the Nine Provinces has a universal Cultivation Technique called ‘Spiritual Energy Chart’. This is the first Cultivation Technique that all cultivators learn. Its limit is not high, only up until the Foundation

Establishment Stage, but its advantage is that it doesn’t conflict with any other

Cultivation Techniques.”

Once a cultivator reaches a certain realm and realizes their affinity and preferences, they can select a more specialized Cultivation Technique. For instance, if they discovered that they were capable of discerning medicinal herbs by their smell, they would choose a Cultivation Technique that leans towards Alchemy. Or if they found that they had a good affinity with plants, they would choose one leaning toward Spirit Plant cultivation. If they fell in love with women without wanting to get married, they would choose a Cultivation Technique leaning towards dual cultivation; if they discovered they didn’t feel guilty after killing, they would choose to turn themselves in.”

Of course, the latter scenario was only likely to occur in the Zhou Dynasty.

This general populace of the Nine Provinces who were at Qi Cultivation Stage 3 could practice the ‘Spiritual Energy Chart’ for their entire lives without having to worry about switching Cultivation Techniques.

Right now, Jiang Li was teaching the siblings the ‘Spiritual Energy Chart’. As for which Cultivation Technique they would practice in the future— that would depend on their progress.

“You should try to draw the sensed Spiritual Energy into your body and circulate it through the path I’ve taught you, but at a slow pace.”

Luo Ying made contact with the Spiritual Energy with his intent and tried to draw it into his body. After a long while, he finally managed to infuse a few blue points of light into his body.

“Phew, the next step is to draw in the energy.”

Jiang Li praised him from the side: “Your talent is not bad, you’ve reached this step so quickly.”

This was quite rare. Luo Ying opened his eyes and said shyly: “No, it’s just that He stopped midway when he realized that Mister Jiang was not praising him, but his sister.

Luo Zhu had already circulated three Circulations.

After a while, Luo Ying proudly announced: “I’ve also done three Circulations.”

Jiang Li muttered an ‘oh’ and continued passionately teaching Luo Zhu, excited by her progress.

Fan Tian comforted him, “Your cultivation talent is not bad. It’s just that your sister’s cultivation speed is extraordinary. However, you also have an area where you’re faster.”

“Like what?” Luo Ying asked expectantly. After all, as a rebirther, he was destined to be outstanding, and cultivation wasn’t solely dependent on the speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy. He must have other outstanding qualities.

“You were born faster than your sister.”

…Buzz off!”

“Young man, don’t be too aggressive. Here, let me teach you some prayers. You see, the essence of our Buddhism lies in these scriptures. As long as you chant day and night, you can surely progress in cultivation.” “Can praying help me surpass my sister?”

“…Being aggressive as a young person is quite good.”

Jiang Li was quite satisfied with the progress of both siblings. “Now, both of you can be considered Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators. Take some time to consolidate your cultivation. Later, I’ll teach you the Gathering Water Technique and the Immovable Ming King Law..”
