He Pingsheng spent the next month in such a monotonous life.
Every day, besides eating and sleeping, he Cultivated.
He diligently guided the Spiritual Qi from outside his body into his system!
However, after a month, He Pingsheng still couldn't make the Spiritual Qi circulate for a full cycle within his Meridians.
His eyes bloodshot, he stared blankly at the moonlight outside the window.
Is it really that difficult for a Five Elements Spiritual Root to Cultivate?
Senior Brother Hao Yun had said that it only took him half a month to guide Qi into his body and complete a full cycle, thereby achieving a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Stage First Level.
And those Genius Disciples could even do it in two or three days!
But it’s been a month for me.
Is the Cultivation Technique wrong?
Bang…
He Pingsheng slammed the Basic Breathing Technique onto the table.
Then, he reached under the bed and pulled out the dark, heavy clay pot.
Over the past month, He Pingsheng naturally hadn't given up exploring, using the clay pot every day to condense items.
If he put in ten catties of rice, it would become twenty catties, and the quality would be higher.
But it didn't turn into Spiritual Rice as He Pingsheng had imagined.
After a month of experimentation, He Pingsheng had basically understood some of the properties of this gathering treasure basin.
Firstly, it could only make things more abundant and stronger!
But it couldn't change their type.
For example, rice and Spiritual Rice are two different species, two completely different things.
Therefore, rice could not become Spiritual Rice.
Similarly, an axe only became much sharper and did not transform into a Magical Artifact in the hands of an Immortal due to the gathering treasure basin's enhancement.
So, the question is!
What should he enhance today?
He Pingsheng looked around the room.
Over the past month, he had almost enhanced every item in their house that could be enhanced.
Shovels, spoons, bowls, he even enhanced a pair of his own shoes.
The moonlight was like water.
He Pingsheng’s gaze, however, fell upon the Basic Breathing Technique on the table.
A bold idea suddenly surged in his mind: Could a Cultivation Technique be enhanced?
Let’s try!
Anyway, I’ve already memorized the first three levels, so it doesn’t matter if this thing gets ruined by enhancement.
Bang…
He acted immediately, tossing the book into the clay basin with a crisp sound.
However, he didn't have much expectation that the gathering treasure basin could enhance abstract things like the content of a book, so shortly after tossing the clay basin under the bed, he quickly fell asleep.
He woke up early the next morning.
He Pingsheng rubbed his eyes, then half-asleep, he habitually reached out and pulled the wooden basin from under the bed.
He took a glance: Hey… two books!
It really was enhanced.
He Pingsheng’s heart leaped into his throat, and he excitedly reached into the gathering treasure basin to pull out one of the books.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
This texture.
The previous one was handwritten by Hao Yun!
The texture was particularly touching; it was just an ordinary rough paper notebook.
Now, as he held it, the toughness of the paper was immediately apparent.
Holding it in his hand, He Pingsheng’s eyes slightly narrowed.
He discovered that the cover of this Cultivation Technique had changed.
The previous cover had the words Basic Breathing Technique written on it.
But now, it had changed to five characters: Changchun Xing Qi Jue.
Holy cow…
He Pingsheng’s breathing became rapid!
It changed!
The Cultivation Technique itself changed, so there was no doubt it had been enhanced based on the Basic Breathing Technique.
Let's take a look!
So, he opened the first page.
On the first page, originally, there was a name written: Hao Yun.
Indicating it was Hao Yun’s book.
But now, there was only one character: Heaven!
What does that mean?
He Pingsheng stared blankly at the character “Heaven,” muttering, “Does that mean this book was created by Heaven?”
Hmm…
That must be it!
As he spoke, he turned another page.
General Principles!
The General Principles stated that this was a Cultivation Technique suitable for Cultivating a wood-attribute Spiritual Root!
Then, there were detailed Cultivation Techniques for each level.
From Qi Refinement Stage First Level, all the way to Qi Refining Stage Twelfth Level.
Moreover, judging by the content, it seemed to be much more extensive and detailed than Hao Yun’s previous book.
Taking the first level, Guiding Qi into the Body, for example, the method it described was vastly different from the previous one.
And besides the Cultivation Technique, there were also two wood-attribute Spells appended at the end.
He Pingsheng did not rush to Cultivate!
He reached out and took out the second book.
He looked at the name, and it was different again.
The name of this book was: Li Fire True Method!
This…
A Cultivation Technique with a different attribute.
He Pingsheng picked up this book and began to read it.
The first page also had only one character: Heaven!
Following that were the General Principles.
The General Principles stated that this was a fire-attribute Cultivation Technique, suitable for Cultivators with a fire-attribute Spiritual Root.
Similarly, it was a Complete Manual of the Cultivation Technique from Qi Refining Stage First Level to Qi Refining Stage Twelfth Level, and it also had two small fire-attribute Spells appended at the end.
He Pingsheng took a deep breath.
Try it?
Which one to try?
His gaze fell upon this fire-attribute Cultivation Technique: Li Fire True Method.
Hmm…
Let’s try this one first!
He Pingsheng packed away all the other unneeded items, then hid them under the bed.
Finally, he sat cross-legged on the bed and picked up the Li Fire True Method!
First, read it thoroughly, then understand it!
Of course, he only needed to understand the General Principles and the first level for now.
These tasks took He Pingsheng half a day, and by the time he could Cultivate, it was already noon.
After a simple meal, He Pingsheng once again began to guide Qi into his body.
At this moment!
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth slowly flowed over the surface of his body.
The sensation became exceptionally clear.
The Cultivation Technique moved slightly, and fire-attribute spiritual power condensed, adhering to He Pingsheng’s skin.
Then, under his guidance, this fire-attribute spiritual power, adhering to the surface of his skin, slowly entered his flesh through countless pores on his body.
From the skin, it entered the flesh!
From the flesh, it entered the Meridians!
However, before entering the Meridians, there was another gateway!
Spiritual Root!
The spiritual power drawn in from outside first entered the Spiritual Root.
Only after exiting the Spiritual Root could it enter the Meridians.
He Pingsheng’s Spiritual Root was a Five Elements Spiritual Root!
When the fire Spiritual Qi he guided passed through the Spiritual Root, the Spiritual Roots of the metal, wood, water, and earth attributes naturally closed, leaving only the fire-attribute Spiritual Root open.
Although this wisp of Spiritual Qi was extremely weak, it still took him a significant amount of time to pass through the Spiritual Root.
To put it this way, the Spiritual Root is like a water pipe; if it’s too narrow, it will obstruct the flow of spiritual power, thereby affecting the efficiency of accumulating spiritual power.
This is the most fundamental reason why the Five Elements Spiritual Root is difficult to Cultivate.
If it were a single Spiritual Root, these problems would not exist.
Because a single Spiritual Root is ten times thicker than He Pingsheng's fire Spiritual Root, the speed at which Spiritual Qi passes through would definitely be very fast.
After passing through the Spiritual Root, this spiritual power was compressed once, and then it entered the Meridians.
It circulated for one cycle within the Meridians, and then it would be refined.
After refinement, it would gather in the Dantian, and only then could the Qi Refining Stage First Level be achieved.
