The first ray of dawn pierced the darkness.
Li Zhuo stretched, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
He went to the river to wash his face, then put on his tiger skin skirt again.
After checking the status of the hundred-poison bramble ball and the calming spirit rose, Li Zhuo nodded in satisfaction.
He started cooking.
On the branches of the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan, several Scarlet Snakes were still tied up.
Ever since Li Zhuo left the Safe Zone, Little Red would bring food to feed the Scarlet Snakes every now and then.
—Of course, it wasn't out of kinship.
Rather, Little Red knew that the Scarlet Snakes on the tree were Li Zhuo's food.
If the Scarlet Snakes starved to death and its master returned with nothing to eat, wouldn't that be a great sin?
Therefore, Little Red frequently fed the Scarlet Snakes.
After such a long time, the Scarlet Snakes on the tree had been fattened up by Little Red, making them perfect for slaughter and roasting.
Li Zhuo took down a plump snake, skillfully butchered it, and started a fire to roast it.
The aroma quickly spread.
Little Red smelled the roasted meat from afar.
It was excited, but dared not disobey Li Zhuo's command.
It could only hide its massive snake body among the withered branches and fallen leaves, slowly crawling towards the Safe Zone.
Only when it entered the Safe Zone did Little Red dare to reveal itself.
Li Zhuo had naturally spotted Little Red long ago, and at the same time, he was quite disdainful of Little Red's ridiculous disguise.
However, when Little Red crawled before him, Li Zhuo still praised its caution and prudence.
This made Little Red even more excited, wagging its tail non-stop.
Li Zhuo, meanwhile, happily enjoyed the roasted meat.
Despite the lack of seasoning, it had a unique flavor.
After eating his fill, Li Zhuo finally recovered his full state and began to inventory the various gains from his trip down the mountain.
He had to admit, the harvest was quite abundant.
Even without counting the Spirit Stones and Divine Abilities given by Zhao Xier and her group of Human Race Cultivators, the Cultivation Techniques and seeds purchased at the market alone far exceeded Li Zhuo's expectations.
Now, as he laid them out one by one, Li Zhuo was overjoyed.
【Individual Information: Cultivation Technique — Azure Wood Life Record ★】
【Individual Information: Plant — Seed】
【Individual Information: Magic Treasure — Fine Iron Cuirass】
【Individual Information: Divine Ability — Qing Ying Kui Bing ★★】
Besides these, there was also a large pile of Spirit Stones, enough to support Li Zhuo's Cultivation for the foreseeable future.
In addition to Cultivation, Li Zhuo naturally had to modify Wanshou Mountain as planned, clearing land and planting crops.
Li Zhuo had brought back many seeds this time, and the small plot of land he had originally cleared was completely insufficient, so he needed to expand the cultivated area.
Also, Little Red had been dormant for so many days, quietly investigating some plants, and had made some discoveries.
Of course, the matter of the Safe Zones also needed to be put on the agenda.
According to Li Zhuo's plan, the first Safe Zone would naturally be Crimson Luan's territory.
Crimson Luan had a high affinity for him, and it was powerful and capable of flight, making it the best choice.
"Let's begin the next stage of Cultivation in a relaxed and enjoyable life~"
Having arranged his plans, Li Zhuo began to use his Golden Finger to modify the treasures he had acquired.
The most important of these was, of course, the «Azure Wood Life Record».
Only by thoroughly modifying the Cultivation Technique could he begin his Cultivation.
Therefore, he did not hesitate and started immediately.
【Individual Information: Cultivation Technique — Azure Wood Life Record ★】
【Special Effect】
Azure Wood Life (White): Allows the Cultivator to obtain powerful vitality. Attribute resistance +20%, Qi and blood value +20%, recovery effect after injury +20%.
【Attributes】

Carefully observing the various attributes and effects of the «Azure Wood Life Record», Li Zhuo chuckled.
It was precisely the Cultivation Technique Li Zhuo needed most~
If it weren't for the high damage level of the Cultivation Technique, making it impossible to Cultivate, this «Azure Wood Life Record» should have been placed in the treasure vaults of small Schools and low-level Cultivation Families, inaccessible to anyone other than Core Disciples or those with great contributions.
How could it have fallen to Li Zhuo to pick it up for thirty Spirit Stones?
Fortunately, Li Zhuo had the All Things Modifier.
Whether it was 【Comprehension Difficulty】, 【Damage Level】, or 【Cultivation Technique Flaw】, none of them were problems for him.
He added points directly!
The Cultivation Technique in his hand changed accordingly.
【Individual Information: Cultivation Technique — Myriad Wood Evergreen Technique ★★】
【Special Effect】
Myriad Wood Evergreen (Yellow): Allows the Cultivator to obtain powerful vitality. Attribute resistance +50%, Qi and blood value +50%, recovery effect after injury +50%.
【Attributes】
Cultivation Technique Effect: 48
【Distributable Attribute Points】 0
"There's no comprehension difficulty, no flaws~ I've obtained another super Cultivation Technique~"
"Let me see… Cultivating the Myriad Wood Evergreen Technique requires a Wood-attribute Spiritual Root, good thing I have one!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, my Spiritual Root attribute, ah…"
The so-called Spiritual Root is the medium through which a Cultivator communicates with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
During Cultivation, a Cultivator can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi through their Spiritual Root and transform it into their own magic power.
Moreover, Spiritual Roots possess various qualities and attributes.
The most common of these are the Five Elements attributes.
Generally speaking, the fewer attribute values a Spiritual Root possesses, the purer and more powerful it is.
A Spiritual Root with only a single attribute is a First-Grade Spiritual Root, also known as a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Cultivators with a Heavenly Spiritual Root have excellent Spiritual Qi affinity and extremely fast efficiency in absorbing and transforming Spiritual Qi.
And generally speaking, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has no attribute.
When Cultivators breathe and absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, these Spiritual Qi will be transformed into magic power through the Spiritual Root and acquire the corresponding attribute of the Spiritual Root.
For example, a Cultivator with a Fire-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root will have pure Fire-attribute magic power within them.
Cultivating Fire-attribute Cultivation Techniques, and casting Fire-attribute spells and Divine Abilities will naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.
Of course, Genius Cultivators with First or Second-Grade Spiritual Roots have extremely high demands on Cultivation Techniques.
Only top-tier powers are qualified to Cultivate such Genius Cultivators.
In addition to the Five Elements attributes, there are also some special Spiritual Roots, such as Sword Spiritual Roots, Lightning Spiritual Roots, Pure Yang Spiritual Roots, and so on, possessing various profound mysteries.
Cultivators who can possess these special Spiritual Roots are all peerless Prodigies, destined to be the future pillars of the cultivation world.
As for Li Zhuo, he possessed a Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root, with all five attributes of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
Other people's Spiritual Roots could be said to have primary and secondary attributes, but Li Zhuo's Spiritual Root could all be called secondary attributes.
Even if he could absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and transform it into his own magic power, the various attributes in his magic power would intertwine and repel each other, making it impure.
Such Aptitude, even in a typical medium-sized School, would not be deemed worthy of any Cultivation.
But the Li Family was different.
Not to mention his Great Grandfather Li, who doted on the original owner, even his strict grandfather and father wholeheartedly helped the original owner Cultivate.
Among his peers in the Family, there were occasional taunts and jests, but they were without malice.
Even amidst their teasing, they would sometimes offer their own Cultivation resources to the original owner.
Even an arrogant peer would admonish, "Take this Body Tempering spiritual liquid of mine, and Cultivate quickly, so you don't make a fool of yourself outside!"
Recalling the faces of the Li Family members, Li Zhuo chuckled.
"A leftover of the cultivation world, the little pride of the Li Family~"
After a moment of emotion, Li Zhuo began to read through this Cultivation Technique.
After a while, Li Zhuo closed the Myriad Wood Evergreen Technique and began to guide Qi into his body.
