Chapter Eighteen: The Secret of the Spiritual Root

  Where is the place to collect spiritual medicine?

  Wang Fei was shocked in his heart, and indeed, the drunkard's intention was not on wine. He actually wanted to ask Wang Fei about the location of the spiritual medicine, but how could Wang Fei just tell him? After all, that was his own secret garden, a place where he had finally found a spiritual medicine den, and he couldn't just give it away for nothing.

  But if you say you don't know, the other person obviously won't believe you.

  Then, Wang Fei's mind turned around and he put on a respectful expression, saying: "Elder Brother Li, I only obtained it by chance from the body of an elder brother who died fighting against a demonic beast. As for the origin of the spiritual medicine, I really don't know."

  "Really don't know?"

  Li Mu was clearly dissatisfied with Wang Fei's words, his face sank, and he spoke in a somewhat threatening tone.

  Wang Fei plucked up his courage and looked straight into Li Mu's eyes, nodding firmly.

  Li Mu thought to himself, "Hmph, what he got from another senior brother, most likely didn't want to tell me. No matter, since he won't say, next time I'll follow him and naturally find the place of the spiritual medicine."

  Seemingly calm on the surface, he said to Wang Fei with a humble attitude: "If that's the case, then it's Li who is disturbing us."

  Having said that, he turned and left.

  Looking at Li Mu's departing figure, Wang Fei felt a little faint in his heart. From his expression just now, it was clear that he didn't believe his words. As soon as he thought of what Li Mu had done in the forest, Wang Fei felt a chill run down his spine.

  Fortunately, Wang Fei was within the sect, and the sect had rules. Formal disciples were not allowed to fight each other freely, so as long as they weren't alone together, there wouldn't be any danger.

  With a relieved heart, Wang Fei headed towards Jingwen Pavilion.

  Since obtaining the Swallowing Spirit Root and becoming a formal disciple, Wang Fei's horizons have broadened considerably. Now he urgently needs all sorts of knowledge about the Cultivation Realm to fill his brain.

  He has well-developed limbs but a simple mind, which is something Wang Fei would not be pleased to see.

  The Scripture Pavilion is located in the middle of Dan Pavilion, and Wang Fei doesn't need to spend much footwork to get there. Although it takes one or two hours, for a cultivator, it's nothing.

  Before he knew it, Wang Fei arrived in front of Jingwen Pavilion.

  The Scripture Pavilion is the core of Danfeng Sect's knowledge, with a total of five layers. The first layer is for early-stage Lingyue disciples to read, as they do not have spiritual awareness and can only read books. The second layer is for mid-to-late stage Lingyue disciples, who have gained spiritual awareness after the middle stage and can read jade tube scriptures. The third layer is for seated town disciples, while Wang Fei does not know about the fourth and fifth layers.

  Outside the Scripture Pavilion, there were two gatekeeper disciples. They saw Wang Fei approaching and, seeing that he was only a low-ranking disciple with a cultivation of Lingyue Second Layer, they looked at him with disdain. One of them walked over, his face icy cold, and blocked Wang Fei's path.

  Wang Fei was slightly stunned, but immediately understood that this scripture pavilion was not a place to enter and exit at will, and must have credentials. Fortunately, Wang Fei had made preparations earlier and took out the formal jade token of his disciple, handing it over.

  He took the jade token, and the disciple inserted a thread of spiritual power into it, nodded, and returned it to Wang Fei, continuing to stand in his own position, from start to finish, without saying a word to Wang Fei.

  People are like this, if you don't have real power and status, don't think about getting respect from others.

  Wang Fei's emotions did not show on his face, he just took care of himself and went in, with the two spiritual roots he had, he only needed to secretly cultivate and improve his cultivation.

  As he entered the scripture pavilion, Wang Fei saw dozens of disciples browsing through books. Those people looked up and saw Wang Fei coming in, took a glance, found that he was only at the second layer of spiritual overflow, and flashed a hint of disdain in their eyes, continuing to bury their heads in research.

  Wang Fei ignored the indifference of these people and came to a row of neatly arranged cabinets, on which were written various categories of books, such as "Alchemy", "Strange Talks on Cultivating Truth" and so on, dazzling and making Wang Fei's eyes wide with wonder.

  Wang Fei's eyes first landed on a row of cabinets for alchemy.

  Refining elixirs is a complex matter. Refining different levels of elixirs requires cultivators with almost identical realms, and apart from that, techniques are also crucial. If the technique is not right, even if the materials are sufficient and the fire is adequate, it's still uncertain whether it will be successful.

  Wang Fei flipped through various pill formulas and refining methods, while taking out yellow talisman paper from the Lingzhu, and using the talisman paper to copy down some useful alchemy techniques.

  Tàoyìn fú zhǐ, in simpler terms, refers to a large storage of information, similar to talismans or yellow or white paper strips.

  This type of paper only needs to be infused with spiritual energy, and it can activate its special printing function, allowing you to put the information you want inside. It's usually used when encountering a large amount of information that needs to be memorized. Wang Fei is now planning to record some useful alchemy formulas and cultivation methods, so he has no choice but to use it.

  There are many of these printing paper tapes on the edge of each row of cabinets, which is very convenient to take.

  After spending half a day on alchemy, Wang Fei transcribed all the information he wanted and then came to the place of Cultivation Chat.

  Wang Fei wants to find some information about Ling Gen and Xuan Bing Huo Ling.

  He was clearly disappointed, after all the first floor is for Lingyue's early disciples to see, naturally there won't be any profound content, let alone devouring spiritual roots, not even a glimpse of Xuanbing Huoli.

  But Wang Fei did see an explanation about Linggen.

  Linggen is a type of object that can manifest in a fibrous state under the impetus of spiritual power. It has both common and unusual properties, which are further divided into three, six, and nine grades based on the thickness of the manifested fibers. The common property is the most common in the cultivation world, with five types: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

  Apart from the common attributes, there are special attributes. Compared to the former, special attributes are more complex. All spiritual roots that do not belong to common attributes can be classified under special attributes: for example, light spiritual roots, dark spiritual roots, wind spiritual roots, and so on.

  In addition, the spiritual root is also divided into single spiritual root and compound spiritual root. The single spiritual root has only one attribute, while the compound spiritual root combines multiple attributes. Compared to those with a single spiritual root, cultivators who possess a compound spiritual root can be called the proud sons of heaven.

  Because the more spiritual roots contained in the body, the faster the accumulation of various attribute spiritual energy, so these cultivators can promote the realm hierarchy at a speed that is faster than ordinary cultivators in the same period.

  Especially for someone with a multi-attribute spiritual root, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and the efficiency of storing spiritual energy are dozens of times that of others. Under this talent, cultivation is absolutely smooth sailing, with unlimited prospects.

  Chewing on this news, Wang Fei secretly smiled to himself. If it were in the past, he would have had no chance at achieving immortality through the Great Dao. However, things are different now that he has swallowed a Spiritual Root. As time passes and he continues to absorb it, just how far will he be able to grow?

  Don't mention high-grade spiritual roots, even if it's a duplicate spiritual root, it's easy to capture, and now there are two spiritual roots in the body, aren't there?

  In addition to his excitement, Wang Fei took another look around the scripture pavilion and found some other things that were useful to him, such as arrays specifically set up to prevent disturbance or the refinement of low-grade talismans. Without saying more, Wang Fei memorized everything and prepared to leave.

  Wang Fei's top priority now is to improve his cultivation. According to the book, refining ordinary elixirs can be done in the early stages of Lingyuan, but the quality is not good and the efficacy is insufficient. However, when refining reaches the middle stage of Lingyuan, the effectiveness of the finished product will increase significantly, and the failure rate will be several times higher than that of the initial refinement.

  Wang Fei held only one stem of purple bamboo grass with bright leaves in his hand, he didn't want to waste it, and it was for his mother to refine, so the quality had to be good.
