Chapter 101: The Spiritual Root Theory of Cultivators

  After recalling Liu Yue's affairs, Yang Aiqian decided to immediately heal Jiang Tian Gong's injuries and then let him start expanding his power, so as to help Liu Yue with business matters in Hong Kong. Of course, if Fang Xuanlin has any business dealings in the future, he can also ask for their help.

  BOOM!

  The blue lightning changed direction and flew towards the hospital where Jiang Tian was located.

  Now he wants to cure his injuries and then start consolidating and expanding the power of the Hung Hing Society, as soon as possible to establish the influence of the Hung Hing Society in Hong Kong.

  The speed of the blue lightning was truly unmatched, and under Yang Ai's incredible operation, it took only five minutes to arrive at the hospital's parking lot.

  As soon as she walked into the ward, Yang Aifeng found Jiang Tian lying on the bed, tossing and turning restlessly.

  "What? Big brother, you're here?" Tian Gong was very surprised when he saw Yang Ai.

  "How's your injury?" Yang Aiqian asked.

  Big brother, that damned doctor took your money and naturally took good care of me, now I'm fine.

  Today I come to send you a fortune.

  Wealth and honor? Tian Gong was somewhat perplexed.

  "Not bad, I won't hide it from you either, I'm planning to establish an underground force in Hong Kong, and you're the spokesperson I've chosen." Yang Aiqian said bluntly.

  Big brother, my life is yours, you tell me to do what and I'll do it. Jiang Tian Gong was a rough man but not a fool, he understood the advantages of following Yang Ai, knew that following Yang Ai would definitely lead to a good future, plus his own life was saved by Yang Ai, so naturally he chose to follow Yang Ai.

  That's good, from now on I'll be the behind-the-scenes big shot of Hong Xing Society, and you'll be my spokesperson, listening to my commands, fighting for me. Yang Ai said these few words with a particularly strong momentum, revealing an overbearing aura.

  I'd be honored to serve you like a loyal horse! Tian Gong exclaimed excitedly.

  "Alright, now I'll heal your wounds and increase your strength first, then we can start expanding the Hongxing Society." Yang Aiqian said.

  Thank you, big brother.

  Tiangong, you sit up first. Yang Aiqian said.

  Tianguo endured the pain of his wound splitting open and sat up, facing Yang Ai and saying: [Big brother, you come, I can endure it.]

  Good fellow!

  Yang Ai said, raising his hand to guide the mixed yuan true energy in his body towards the back of Jiang Tian's heart.

  *sigh*

  At the moment when the mixed yuan true energy poured into the body through the back, Tian Gong couldn't bear the pain of the true energy tearing apart the meridians and let out a loud cry.

  Tiangong, you must hold on, it will be beneficial for your future cultivation path. Yang Aiqian saw Tiangong's face full of pain and was afraid that he couldn't bear it for a moment, so she reminded him aloud.

  Big brother, you go on, I'm fine. Tian Gang endured the pain and said to Yang Ai in front of him.

  "En!" Yang Ai responded with a sound, then withdrew her mind.

  His actions are no longer just for healing injuries, but also for cleansing and tempering the body of Jiang Tian, laying the foundation for his future training.

  The heavenly work is clearly felt, the fine "qi" running inside the body like a silk thread becomes stronger and stronger, gradually forming a thin line.

  Just as the last link of this fine line was connected, he suddenly felt a rumbling sound in his body, and it seemed that there was thunder on top of his head, flashing lightning, and rumbling sounds.

  BOOM! Like an explosion, it suddenly burst forth in Jiang Tian's mind.

  Wow! Tian Gong's body shook violently, and he suddenly felt as if he had lost all his weight. His soul floated and fluttered about, and he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood that sprayed far away. Immediately afterwards, he fainted.

  This mouthful of fresh blood sprayed onto the snow-white bed sheet, surprisingly presenting an inky black color, as if it were a solid, and didn't flow at all. It looked just like a piece of pitch-black coal. After he fainted to the ground, his body slowly convulsed, and from within his skin, tiny droplets of inky liquid slowly seeped out again, gradually wetting and blackening the bed sheet beneath him... This was precisely what was known as "washing the marrow" in Cultivation.

  The dark stains that previously seeped out of the body only excluded most of the impurities from the skin or muscles, and the last black liquid that was discharged was truly from within the bones. As for the thick black blood clots that were coughed up by Tian Gong, they were even more so the impurities from the five internal organs, and are the hardest to eliminate of all bodily impurities.

  Finally, it's done! Yang Ai let out a sigh of relief and thought to herself that she had finally completed the Tian Gong's marrow-washing and bone-refining technique.

  Now Tian Gong's state, if using the words of a cultivator to describe it, is called "leaving the mundane realm", which means that from now on, he has formally broken free from the shackles of his mortal body and stepped into the ranks of a true cultivator.

  To know that every cultivator wants to achieve the transcendent realm, they must go through a period of considerable pain and length. The time it takes is short for some, months, long for others, years or even decades, and there are those who cannot reach this realm in their lifetime. And yet, Tian Gong has completed this transformation in just a few moments.

  As for the matter of washing his marrow, Yang Ai suddenly found that he had previously thought it was too simple. With his current entry-level perfect strength, he almost failed due to insufficient true energy. Fortunately, the first ability of the Hunyuan Sacred Body - Devouring Spirit and Swallowing Origin - had awakened, and under this ability, he finally managed to get through.

  At the time when Yang Tian was in a coma, Yang Ai also did not idle. He recovered his true energy on one side and searched for suitable exercises for Yang Tian on the Financial God Exchange Platform. After considering that Yang Tian had a fire attribute spiritual root, he decided to exchange the low-level Cultivation Method of the Financial God Platform - Black Fire Great Law.

  The Xiu Zhen Gong Fa is divided into four levels: Tian, Di, Xuan and Huang. The Tian level is the highest, while the Huang level is the lowest.

  According to the information left in his mind by that wicked old man, there is an even more powerful technique above the heavenly level, but the old man didn't elaborate. However, Yang Aiqing can be certain that the mixed yuan divine art he cultivated should be the top-level technique above the heavenly level.

  Linggen is an innate gift.

  As the name suggests, Linggen, the root of spiritual energy.

  Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves. The existence of a spiritual root is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The better the spiritual root, the more and faster the spiritual energy absorbed, and the easier it is to break through boundaries. As for why there are different spiritual roots, this is related to the innate qualities of one's parents, which are determined before birth, but not absolutely unchangeable.

  It all comes down to luck, and of course, luck is also a part of strength.

  Spirit root, the "spirit" character, most people generally have attribute spirit roots, which are divided into lower spirit roots, middle spirit roots, upper spirit roots, heavenly spirit roots, and unusual spirit roots. Different spirit roots can absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy to transform it into true energy of the same attribute as oneself. The higher the spirit root, the faster and more spiritual energy that can be absorbed during cultivation.

  Generally speaking, the spiritual root is divided into five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Most people's spiritual roots are a mixture of these four or five attributes, which can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the effect of cultivation is generally poor, usually only reaching the third or fourth layer of the Qi Refining stage before stagnating. In general, it is impossible to cross the Foundation Building stage in one's lifetime. Therefore, spiritual roots with four or five attributes are also called "pseudo-spiritual roots" in the Cultivation World, while those with two or three attributes that cultivate relatively quickly are called "true spiritual roots".

  There is only one attribute of the single spiritual root, it is called - Tian Linggen. People who possess this spiritual root, regardless of their attributes, have a cultivation speed that is 2-5 times that of ordinary spiritual root people. Moreover, when cultivating to the peak of the foundation period, they do not need to face the bottleneck that should be faced when entering the golden elixir period and can easily form an elixir.

  So-called heteromorphic roots, in fact, are variable spiritual roots, referring to two or three five-element attributes mixed together, being transformed and sublimated spiritual roots.

  For example, the Leiling root produced by the variation of Jinxing root and Shuiling root, the Bingling root produced by the variation of Tuling root and Shuiling root, and other variant Ling roots.

  The cultivators of the Heterogeneous Spirit Root, although they do not have the innate talent to exempt the bottleneck of forming the Golden Elixir like those with the Heavenly Spirit Root, their cultivation speed is in no way inferior. Moreover, if they can find a suitable technique that matches their attribute, most of them will become extraordinary masters, generally comparable to three or four ordinary cultivators of the same level.
