Gu Ling 'er then spent 120 spirit stones at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to buy a pill furnace that was said to have been used by the genius alchemist Zhu Xiaofan 5,000 years ago. Speaking of Zhu Xiaofan, he was a legend among alchemists, and was respectfully called the " Alchemy Ancestor " by alchemists.
It was said that before he was fifteen, he was a good-for-nothing in the family. His cultivation had been stuck at the early stage of the Aura Refining realm. The lowest cultivation among his peers was already at the sixth level of the Aura Refining realm, but he was still stuck at the second level of the Aura Refining realm. There was no hope for him to advance, and he was not even as good as a ten-year-old child. His father, the Zhu Clan's Patriarch, had also given up on him and didn't hold the slightest hope for him.
One day, he was attacked by an unknown person and fell into a coma for a month. After he woke up, not only did his personality change drastically, but he had also changed his previous cowardly and incompetent image. He even possessed the ability to refine pills. At the age of 16, he was already able to concoct Spirit Pill Grade pills. Moreover, his success rate was above 50%, which was even higher than the success rate of the most outstanding alchemists at that time.
At that time, it was much easier to obtain spirit herbs than it was now. With the help of the pills, Zhu Xiaofan's cultivation soared and he reached the peak of the ninth qi layer in three months. After taking three Foundation Building Pills, Zhu Xiaofan broke through the Qi Refining Stage and successfully built his foundation. Later on, he actually refined the Nine Revolutions Essence Cultivating Pill. After taking it, he would be able to advance from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Nascent Soul stage without any bottlenecks.
Before he was twenty years old, Zhu Xiaofan had already become a late-stage Golden Core expert. At the age of sixty, he entered the Nascent Soul Stage. He transcended the tribulation and ascended at the age of 157. He was taken in as a disciple by the Grand Supreme Elder and guarded Tushita Palace…
After listening to Shopkeeper Liang's story about the life of the owner of the pill furnace, Ling 'er gently stroked the pill furnace in front of her. This pill furnace was about 30 centimeters tall and was completely red in color. There were some special patterns on the wall of the pill furnace, which were carefully carved. There was a special luster on the surface.
The most special thing about this pill furnace was that there were nine fire dragons coiled around the outer wall. They were vividly carved, and the dragon's mouth just happened to be nine fire entrances. Therefore, it looked as if these nine dragons were spitting flames into the furnace.
At the top, the lid could be moved. That was where the spirit herbs were put in. On the four sides of the lid, there were seven small holes arranged in a special pattern. That was where the air came out. No matter how one looked at it, this pill furnace was no ordinary item. Especially when Ling 'er touched it, she felt that the pill furnace was emitting a faint heat wave!
Although Ling 'er had never come into contact with an alchemy furnace in her previous life, she clearly recognized that this exquisite alchemy furnace in front of her was no ordinary item. She could not help but feel a little excited. One had to know that a good pill furnace was of great help to an alchemist.
A good start was half the battle. She had unexpectedly obtained a top-grade alchemy furnace, and the price was so cheap. Perhaps it was the will of heaven that she would eventually walk the path of an alchemist.
Ling 'er felt as if she had found a treasure. She used her spiritual sense to put the pill furnace into the heaven and earth bag. She patted the heaven and earth bag with satisfaction and smiled like a cat enjoying its meal.
Yu Haibo looked at her satisfied smile and could not help but smile as well. "Ling 'er, don't you want to know what kind of spirit root you have?" Let me test you."
Ling 'er revealed a look of realization. How could she have forgotten about this?
She smiled at Yu Zhenghuan and said sweetly,"Grandpa Yu, I'll have to trouble you.”
Yu Zhenghuan smiled and nodded. He took out a white crystal the size of an adult's palm from his storage pouch. The crystal was like a crystal without any impurities. It shone with a faint luster and there were some difficult to understand symbols carved on it.
"Come, just put your hand on it.”Yu Zhenhuan lowered the crystal so that Ling 'er could put her hand on it.
Shopkeeper Liang had planned to go to the storeroom to collect the two treasures he had received today. Seeing this, he stopped in his tracks and looked over expectantly.
Ling 'er obediently placed her small hand on the crystal. She suddenly felt a cool feeling flowing from the crystal to her right hand and then to her entire body. A moment later, the crystal shined with a colorful light. Gold, green, blue, red, and yellow flickered in turn, but the green light was more dazzling.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Liang's face revealed a faint disappointment. He shook his head gently and walked towards the storeroom.
" The five elements are wood spiritual roots…" Yu Zhenhuan looked at the crystal with pity and sighed.
Yu Haibo looked at the flickering five-colored light and looked at Ling 'er sympathetically. He wanted to say something but hesitated, but he did not know how to comfort her.
"Wood element? Is it a penta spirit root?" In her previous life, she had read many Xianxia novels. Ling 'er naturally knew that spiritual roots were divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Fake spiritual roots referred to spiritual roots with four or five elements. This kind of spiritual root was very slow to cultivate and was the most useless kind. Ordinary cultivation sects would not accept such a person with no future as a disciple. True spirit roots were spiritual roots with two or three attributes, and their cultivation speed was faster.
The best ones were the Heaven Spiritual Roots, which were spiritual roots of one attribute. The cultivation speed of such people was several times faster than the True Spiritual Roots, and there was no bottleneck in the Core Formation realm. There was also a type of strange spiritual root, which was a combination of two or three attributes that had mutated and transformed into lightning, wind, ice, darkness, and other attributes. Its cultivation speed was not inferior to that of a heavenly spiritual root. Usually, disciples with the latter two attributes were the targets of the sects.
For example, the third son of the Azure Dragon City's City Lord, when he participated in the general election of the Immortal Academy, the number one cultivation sect, the Ten Thousand Marsh Sect, almost fought with the number two Sword Immortal Sect, just to win him over. Disciples with heavenly spiritual roots were equivalent to a Golden Core expert. One had to know that a large cultivation sect like the Ten Thousand Marsh Sect only had eight or nine Golden Core experts, and there were even fewer Nascent Soul experts.
The competition between the Ten Thousand Marsh Sect and Sword Immortal Sect for the number one sect was not something that had happened for a hundred or two years. Taking in a disciple with a heaven spirit root was equivalent to strengthening the sect's position in the cultivation world, and it was possible for them to win or consolidate the title of number one sect. Do you think the two sects would not go all out to fight for that Heaven Spiritual Root disciple?
Yu Zhenhuan coughed lightly and put away the crystal. He comforted her in a pale voice,""Diligence can make up for incompetence. As long as you work hard and cultivate diligently, you will definitely succeed.”
Ling 'er did not show any disappointment or negative emotions in front of this news that others thought was very tragic. In his previous life, he had read some Xianxia novels. There were many people with penta spiritual roots who finally cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm and transcended the tribulation to become immortals. Even if she sadly failed in her cultivation, she still had a spare tire ambition-to earn a lot of money so that she could live comfortably and happily like a god…
