Chapter 416: Chapter 33: Chief True Inheritor

Upper Grade Wood Spirit Root, Upper Stream!

This already meets the basic criteria for a true disciple.

If the subsequent entry trials for heart nature and comprehension are both superior, becoming a true disciple is practically assured.

Qualified to study the highest level cultivation techniques within the Sect.

And if the Fire Spirit Root could reach Earth Grade, it means Li Ji’an’s cultivation before Core Formation would be smooth with no bottlenecks.

Zhao Qi of those years attained his status as a true disciple with Earth Spirit Root talent, passing the Foundation Establishment First Barrier with no need for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Li Ji’an continued sensing the Spiritual Qi.

Soon, a water charm lit up on the Spirit Testing Stone, followed by sixteen threads of blue Water Spiritual Qi appeared.

"Fourteen threads of Water Spirit Root!"

In the past life, Water Spirit Root had nine threads, but in this life five more, not as much as the increase in Gold Spirit Charm.

"From this, it seems the Spirit Roots delayed before the age of eight were not alike."

With twenty-eight threads of Wood Spirit Charm leading, the fourteen threads of water were not as eye-catching.

However, Li Ji’an was looking forward to the Fire Spirit Charm to come.

Whether in the past life or the previous life before entering the cultivation realm, his Fire Spirit Root was always the highest.

Theoretically, after compensating for the losses before the age of eight, the Fire Spirit Root in this life should also increase greatly.

"Buzz~"

As the Spirit Testing Stone quivered.

A small flame slowly rose, after which strands of fiery red spirit charm began to appear.

"One thread, two threads..."

"Hmm?" When the Fire Spirit Charm stopped, Li Ji’an couldn’t help but be surprised.

After checking repeatedly, there were only twenty-two threads!

Compared to the past life’s nineteen threads, it only increased by three threads.

"Could it be that before the age of eight, the Fire Spirit Charm was not very deficient?"

Li Ji’an was momentarily stunned, and his mind began to race.

However, others were very satisfied with this result; with five elements spirit roots, having two elements reaching upper grade was already outstanding.

Meanwhile, the spirit charm of the last Earth Spirit Root had also surfaced.

Earth Spirit Root, eleven threads!

"Hmm? Surprisingly, there’s no change from the last life." Seeing the number of Earth Spirit Root threads, Li Ji’an was even more surprised.

In the past life, his Earth Spirit Root was eleven threads.

"This seems to imply that before the age of eight in the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land, both Earth and Fire Spirit Roots were not very delayed."

"Is it because the Earth and Fire Spirit Charms in the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land were not completely severed?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Suddenly, he was even more curious about the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land.

Before reaching Foundation Establishment in this life, he had already planned to return to the Immortal Dynasty, now he’s even more determined.

"Alright, Ping’an, with your dual Upper Grade Wood and Fire Spirit Roots, given your heart nature, securing a place among the true disciples should be stable. Participate in the sect’s entrance trials in half a year." Xiao Changfeng was quite satisfied.

"Elder Changfeng, what is the attribute of the newly added Earth Grade Upper Cultivation Technique in the sect?" Master Jade Pill continued to inquire through sound transmission.

"It’s precisely the Wood Element, the ’Evergreen Wood Technique’!"

"Excellent!" Master Jade Pill immediately rejoiced.

At this moment, Li Ji’an also came around, though the outcome wasn’t exactly as expected, it was acceptable.

Originally in the past life, his plan for this life was for the Fire Spirit Root to reach Upper Grade, become a true disciple of the sect, and study the sect’s Earth Grade Lower Fire Element Technique, using the numerous Core Formation Spirit Treasures and Core Formation experience accumulated from the past life to reach for Upper True Pill or even the Immortal Golden Core.

Now having an Upper Grade Upper Stream Wood Spirit Root surpassed his expectations.

However, the Earth Grade Techniques amassed by the sect over millennia were numerous, and although there was only one Earth Grade Upper Water Element Technique like the sect’s foundation technique, other elemental true disciple techniques were all Earth Grade Lower, enough to attempt Core Formation, which is still much better compared to the Profound Level Technique from the Yan family in the past life.

Moreover, during the relic exploration of the Great Marsh Mountain in the past life, there was a rumor from the Immortal City that an ancient supreme cultivation technique was acquired by the upper sect, and it seemed to be Wood Element.

The Wood Element Technique excels in vitality, promoting longevity, and though it lacks sharpness and offensive power compared to techniques of the same level in other attributes, it is more robust and enduring, making it the first choice whether for Medical Dao or Talisman Dao.

After all, he never intended to engage in direct magical combat with others.

It just so happens, he also obtained two unusual Wood Magic Techniques in the past life.

’Illusory Leaf Clone’ can utilize flying leaves as a medium for teleportation amidst a flurry of leaves; in the past life, Li Ji’an only reached a superficial level in this technique due to his Wood Magical Power merely being late-stage Qi Cultivation, but now he can research it further.

According to the technique’s description, mastering it beyond the third layer might involve an initial understanding of Spatial Law, making it superior for hiding and survival even if it lacks in offensive power.

The other technique, ’Vine Silk Hand’, not only has the capability to bind, paralyze with toxins, but also to draw life’s vitality, making it an effective control method.

Xu Xiaochun stared at the final results on the Spirit Testing Stone, experiencing both delight and a bit of melancholy.

He had Middle Grade Spirit Roots and fortunately good talent in Alchemy Dao, barely becoming an inner sect disciple.

But without a special opportunity, this life was destined to halt at Foundation Establishment, and even forming a Fake Pill would be overly ambitious.

Seeing his junior brother with such extraordinary talent, he couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

"Enough, enough, without expectations, there’s no room for disappointment." With a self-mocking smile, he returned to his playful demeanor.

When he was young in the mortal area, becoming aware of the cultivators, he thought he would be content if he could just become a Qi Cultivator.

Unexpectedly, he became a member of Biyun Sect and due to his talents in the Alchemy Dao, even became an inner sect disciple.

With his master’s gift of a Foundation Establishment Pill, he was fortunate enough to establish a foundation, becoming what he could only gaze upon from afar as a child.

But as his understanding grew, so did his desires, even harboring ambition for a Fake Pill in recent years.

Nevertheless, he also knew clearly that with his spirit root talent, sticking to the conventional path would limit him to late Foundation Establishment, and achieving a second-tier senior Pill Master would be his utmost limit.
