Chapter 329 Golden Spiritual Root (Part 2)

This essence of Geng metal is entirely golden, radiating a dazzling light.

Xu Changqing dared not delay, using fire elemental power in his left hand and earth elemental power in his right.

While being tempered.

Refining it at the same time.

Fire melts gold, and earth generates gold. With the continuous cooperation of these two spiritual forces, the essence of Geng metal, the size of an infant’s fist, began to melt away at a visible speed.

Xu Changqing channeled it into his Qi Sea, then enveloped it with fire elemental power to further remove the trace amounts of corrosiveness remaining in the Geng Metal essence, while simultaneously keeping it in an active state.

Next, he mobilized the earth elemental power to form a layer of earth-yellow spiritual power barrier around the essence of Geng metal. This barrier could both restrain the energy of Geng metal and prevent it from running rampant in the sea of qi.

Then, it draws upon the wood elemental power, transforming it into countless fine green threads that entwine the essence of Geng metal.

The vitality of wood can nourish the essence of metal, promoting integration and allowing the body to gradually adapt to this external metal force, reducing rejection reactions.

Under the synergistic effect of the three spiritual roots and spiritual energies, the essence of Geng metal gradually contracted and condensed, transforming into a golden light spot the size of a grain of rice.

Although it is getting smaller and smaller, the light it emits is getting stronger and stronger.

It seemed to cover the entire body from the inside out, expelling all impurities in an extremely domineering manner.

Finally, with a “clang,” the light disappeared, and the Golden Spiritual Root was fully born.

Almost instantly, Xu Changqing sensed the faint golden spiritual energy around him. Because he had not yet mastered the techniques for this, he allowed his golden spiritual root to absorb it naturally, and was unable to forcibly refine it.

At this point, he possessed four spiritual roots.

The five elements are wood, fire, earth, and metal, with only water remaining to complete the set of the five elements.

But at that moment, Xu Changqing’s expression changed slightly.

The fire elemental power surged again, attempting to devour the wood elemental power.

The situation is alright when you have a single spiritual root, two spiritual roots, or three spiritual roots.

After obtaining the Golden Spiritual Root, an imbalance occurred.

The five elements’ generating cycle is broken, and the vitality of the wood element root is lost.

In the Five Elements theory, water nourishes wood. The warmth and moisture of water allow the vitality of wood to continue to flow, just as plants need rain and dew to stay green.

The other three spiritual roots are now very stable because they are rich in earth and contain a lot of nutrients.

Fire elemental root is irritable and unruly, and will break out into conflict at the slightest opportunity.

The metal elemental root is unstoppable; without water as a buffer, it directly counters the wood element.

Therefore, the current situation is that wood is too yang and has lost its gentleness.

Xu Changqing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “In this situation, we can only use soil to plant trees to temporarily replace the function of the water spirit root.”

At the same time, the property of fire melting gold is utilized to slightly reduce its sharpness.

In fact, he had anticipated this situation long ago.

There’s nothing we can do about it; that’s just how elemental relationships work.

Only when the five elements are in balance can they avoid imbalance and maintain their cycle.

Of course, whether it’s planting wood in soil or melting gold in fire, these are just temporary measures.

The best way is to quickly cultivate a water elemental root and achieve the perfection of the five elements.

The good thing is that even if he can’t find any treasures to cultivate water spiritual roots, he can still cultivate them through dual cultivation.

Although it takes two hundred years for the second spiritual root to grow.

But for Xu Changqing, it was only a mere two hundred years.

He can afford to wait, and he can afford to prolong the wait.

Coming to his senses, Xu Changqing turned to look at the Dragon-Transforming Insect Mother and found that it had completely sucked up the sclerotium, leaving only a shriveled empty shell.

Now it has moved to another location, nibbling at venom sacs in another corner.

It’s clear that they were extremely hungry after eight days without food.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing frowned: “Five fire crows are not enough to keep it alive. Perhaps we should put it in our personal space and use the characteristics of the earth elemental root to provide a continuous supply of earth energy.”

For the dragon-shaped insect mother, she can only reproduce if she can eat.

Therefore, eating is an instinct.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing did not urge him, but instead wandered around while waiting.

The entire nest of the Corrosive Fungus King is neither very large nor very small.

If compared to the previous nest of the Dragon Queen, it certainly can’t compare.

However, compared to normal beast caves, it is already considered quite large.

However, there are only so many things to dig and explore around there.

Mycelium, venom sacs, gold dust, and nothing else.

It’s unclear how much time has passed, but the dragon-like insect queen, having devoured all the venom sacs, is finally full, or rather, satisfied, and her movements become sluggish.

Xu Changqing shook his head, then with a thought, he put it into his ring and turned to walk back to the cave he had come from.

Fortunately, the route wasn’t complicated, so we didn’t get lost.

As he returned the way he came, he was also pondering to himself.

Now that the metal spiritual root has been awakened, it is necessary to learn metal-attribute cultivation techniques and spells.

Fortunately, I currently have a bone sword pellet, so I don’t have to spend money to buy another one.

I’ve always heard that Xuanxin City is superior to Dongqing City’s independent cultivator market in every aspect.

I’ll take advantage of this once-in-a-century grand sailing competition to go and check it out, and maybe buy some more powerful and effective cultivation techniques.

Moreover, Xuanxin City has a wider variety of water-attribute techniques and spells, and their effects are better.

I bought it while I was there, so I won’t have to make another trip later.

It was already evening when Xu Changqing came out from underground.

It’s late summer and early autumn now.

The night always carries a lingering summer heat and a crisp, early morning chill.

The moon hung high in the sky, not the bright white round moon of midsummer, but more like a piece of jade soaked in autumn water, appearing even more warm and lustrous.

The night was hazy, as if shrouded in a faint mist, making the distant scenery appear and disappear.

The wind is blowing gently.

The canal water flowed “gurgling”.

The insects and frogs seemed a bit lazy, and their calls weren’t as energetic as they were in summer.

Xu Changqing activated his earth elemental power, which healed the pit in front of him, and then turned and walked towards the stone house.

他没有做饭的想法，毕竟旺旺、咯咯，甚至连池塘里的龟和鱼，如今都在惬意的休息。

来到二楼，整个人躺在柔软舒适的楠木床上，随后闭上眼睛，几乎瞬间就睡着了。

……

……

也不知过去多久，身上的某个东西，突然震动起来。

徐长青睁开双眼，随后扭头看去，发现震动的来源并非碧青葫芦，居然是培灵使的令牌。

这让他倍感意外，忙不迭拿起来，而后将木灵力注入其中。

然而刚一催动，火、金两种灵力就变得异常活跃。

不得已，徐长青只好同时催动土灵力，用来中和一下。

这时，令牌里传来花老的声音。

“小徐~”

“我在！”

“正式弟子大比已经结束了，下个月归墟秘境将会开启，上面的意思是能参加就参加，你呢？”

“我没兴趣，也不打算参加。”

“很好，那你找个机会去统计一下，看看灵田里的正式弟子都有谁想参加归墟秘境，我们得提前做好准备。”

“是！”
