BXBX NOVEL Chapter 134
Chapter 134
In the cultivation world, magical treasures fall into three categories: magical tools, spiritual tools, and treasures. Magical tools were used for foundational cultivation, spiritual tools for Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, and treasures were reserved for those at the Deity Transformation level and higher. Each category has low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade items.
Among the materials Li Su acquired this time, a significant portion was perfect for refining treasures. With over a thousand years of refining experience, Li Su was confident in his ability to refine treasures. Still, he needed to lay eyes on a treasure first for a more cautious approach.
The ruins of the ancient immortal sect had no treasures, and any that might have existed could have deteriorated over the years. Li Su decided not to rush things, understanding that finding materials for refining treasures was incredibly challenging in the current era.
Back in the days of the ancient immortal sect, materials were more readily available. Thus, Li Su primarily focused on selecting these materials. While he wasn’t sure about refining other treasures, he believed he could elevate the Dayan Sword to treasure level due to the instructions he possessed. The Flying Immortal Sword required further study, but Li Su was in no hurry.
At the moment, supreme-grade spiritual weapons were sufficient. Giving treasures to lower-level cultivators like the sect leader might hinder their combat effectiveness. Li Su had spent the last few months at the Flying Immortal Sect’s refining and alchemy room, and he knew he was close to perfecting the Dayan Sword.
Just a bit more, but let’s prioritize cultivation for now, Li Su thought and decided. In recent months, he had crafted numerous pills and completed the tools for the Dayan Sword Formation. Although he couldn’t quite reach the treasure level for the Dayan Sword, he felt it was time to continue his cultivation.
“Master, these pills are specially for you,” Li Su said as he handed a bundle of pills to the sect leader. These were custom-made for her, and during the past few months, she had occasionally assisted him, checking on his progress.
The Flying Immortal Sect’s spiritual herbs were entrusted to Li Su, and he instructed the sect leader to cultivate them for future pill refinement. Li Su also presented her with upgraded Flying Immortal Swords at the supreme-grade spiritual weapon level and a rare Shark pearl he had found.
The sect leader’s reaction surprised him. She seemed dazed and asked, “Li Su, why are you so kind to me?” Li Su blinked and replied, “Master, you’re also good to me.”
Deep down, he held romantic feelings for the sect leader and hoped she would bear his children, but he understood it might be too soon to discuss such matters. He sensed that the sect leader had been feeling pressure since her aunt’s arrival, likely related to her mysterious family, which motivated her intense dedication to cultivation.
Li Su strongly believed the sect leader might experience another remarkable breakthrough within a decade. Her progress was astonishing, considering her damaged foundation, and it remained uncertain if it had fully recovered. Her cultivation had been relatively slow until she reached the Nascent Soul stage, likely due to her compromised foundation.
Curious about her spiritual root, the sect leader asked, “Li Su, do you know the best type of spiritual root?” She had taken precautions to ensure their privacy, creating a protective barrier to prevent eavesdropping.
“Is it the Heaven Spirit Root?” Li Su ventured, sensing the importance of her question. Although he didn’t possess extensive knowledge about spiritual roots, he knew that the first-grade Heaven Spirit Root was currently considered the best. While other unique spiritual roots existed, such as the Dark Spirit Root possessed by the Holy Maiden of the Shadowy Moon Sect, they were typically only suitable for dark attribute cultivation techniques like the Demonic Arts.
However, most of these unique spiritual roots were likely second grade. There were exceptions like the Sacred Spirit Root, which could be either first-grade or second-grade, depending on their attributes.
“No, it’s the Immortal Spirit Root,” the sect leader revealed, providing an intriguing answer. She continued, explaining that the top three grades of spiritual roots were Heaven Spirit Roots, which could transcend the Five Declines of Heaven and Man and become Great Dao cultivators. However, the possibility of becoming immortal depended on individual fate.
Li Su inquired about the “Five Declines of Heaven and Man,” but the sect leader advised him not to worry about it for now, as they were far from reaching that stage.
She then elaborated on the Immortal Spirit Root, which was unique and first-grade. What made it extraordinary was the absence of bottlenecks at any cultivation stage, making it almost certain that its possessor could become immortal, provided they encountered no accidents.
Li Su was deeply impressed by this revelation but also learned that Immortal Spirit Roots were exceedingly rare so they could spark conflicts and even wars among sacred places. Special sacred instruments were used to monitor the birth of Immortal Spirit Roots, leading to disputes over their acquisition.
The sect leader confessed that she possessed an Immortal Spirit Root, which left Li Su awestruck. He reacted with overwhelming joy, thinking about the remarkable offspring they could have if she bore his child.
However, the sect leader was shocked by his enthusiastic response. She had shared this information to convey the gravity of her situation. Once her Immortal Spirit Root became known, she would have to sever ties with her family, which could lead to dire consequences.
Her mother and family had planned to transfer her spiritual roots to their son forcibly. Now that she was outside the family, they might resort to unscrupulous means to hinder her growth or seek revenge. The sect leader was also wary of other parties interested in her Immortal Spirit Root.
With her current cultivation level, changing her spiritual roots was near impossible, but she contemplated the option of demonic cultivation. If her Immortal Spirit Root were discovered, she would attract demonic cultivators like a magnet.
The only haven for her would be the Purple Gold Sacred Grounds, but it would require leaving her current place. Therefore, she maintained a low profile, even changing her name. Her family saw her as a valuable asset, so she had to be cautious.
Li Su’s warm and affectionate response left her feeling somewhat helpless, unable to retract her hand as he continued to be delighted by the news. He pledged to support her in reaching the Deity Transformation stage.
