Eternal Life by Daily Divination

’As expected, Cultivators born with the Five Spirit Roots are the ones best suited for cultivation.’

Li Chang’an had known for many years that the more Spiritual Roots one had, the better.

Cultivators with multiple Spiritual Roots could practice Cultivation Techniques and Magic of various elements, and their Magical Power could be freely converted between them.

For a Cultivator with a single Spiritual Root like him, using Magic of other elements required first casting the Five Elements Mutual Production Method.

’According to the description in this technique, if one’s Spiritual Roots don’t include all Five Elements, they must be supplemented.’

’The methods for supplementing Spiritual Roots differ among the Nine Great Sects. The Pill Cauldron Sect uses Alchemy to refine Pseudo-Spirit Roots, the Profound Artifact Sect uses Artifact Refining techniques to create them, and the Ten Thousand Arrays Sect carves Array Patterns into the body...’

The various methods were a real eye-opener for Li Chang’an.

Of course, the methods of the other Eight Great Immortal Sects were not recorded in detail in this technique.

This technique only detailed the method of the Ancient Wood Sect: forming a Spirit Contract with a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root!

’For a member of the Ancient Wood Sect who wishes to achieve Five Elements Unification, the best method is to form Spirit Contracts with five Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots, each corresponding to one of the Five Elements.’

Reading this, Li Chang’an was secretly astonished.

The first three scrolls of the technique he had obtained back then stated that each Cultivator could only form a Spirit Contract with a single Heaven and Earth Spirit Root.

For this very reason, he had only formed a contract with the Eternal Green Vine.

But the Divinity Transformation Scroll was very clear: a Divinity Transformation Cultivator was strong enough to bear the pressure of being contracted to five Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots simultaneously.

’The Eternal Green Vine is a Wood Element Heaven and Earth Spirit Root. The Spirit Charm it gives back as it grows only enhances one’s Wood Spirit Root.’

’If I want to enhance my other Spiritual Roots, I must form contracts with those of different elements. For example, the Spirit Charm provided by the Gold Element Heaven and Earth Spirit Root, the Nine-leaf Sword Lily, can enhance my Gold Spirit Root...’

According to the technique’s description, it didn’t matter if a Cultivator didn’t have a Gold Spirit Root to begin with.

After receiving the first wisp of Spirit Charm from the Nine-leaf Sword Lily, one would be considered to possess a Gold Spirit Root.

However, a single wisp of Spirit Charm would only grant the most inferior Gold Spirit Root.

As the Nine-leaf Sword Lily grew, it would provide more and more Spirit Charm, strengthening the Spiritual Root until it eventually reached Celestial Grade.

The same logic applied.

To enhance the Water, Fire, and Earth Spiritual Roots, one needed to form contracts with Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots of the corresponding elements.

’I see.’

After reading everything, Li Chang’an was deeply shaken.

According to the description in the Jade Scroll, the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique’s method for handling Spiritual Roots was superior to the Magic Gates of the other Eight Great Immortal Sects, claiming to be the most perfect in the world.

Of course, that was likely an exaggeration.

Besides, the requirements for this method were simply too high, as it required finding five Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots of different elements.

Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots were extremely rare.

An ordinary Cultivator would be lucky to find even one, let alone five.

Although Li Chang’an didn’t know the specific methods of the other eight Sects, the brief descriptions he’d read gave him a vague feeling that their approaches were simpler and more practical.

’If I get the chance in the future, I’ll find a way to obtain the methods of the other Eight Great Immortal Sects. Thankfully, the Divinity Transformation Realm is still a long way off. My priority right now is breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.’

Li Chang’an mused to himself.

Another method meant another path to a breakthrough.

Even with his heaven-defying luck and Divinations to guide him, he wasn’t confident he could find all five types of Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots.

’I already have the Eternal Green Vine, and the Mu Family’s Heaven and Earth Spirit Root is a Nine-leaf Sword Lily. I can’t let it stay with the Mu Family any longer.’

With this in mind, Li Chang’an immediately took control of his Mu Yuanchen clone, which he had left with the Mu Family.

As the Mu Family Ancestor, he was entitled to use all of the Mu Family’s resources.

He went to the Mu Family’s Spirit Medicine Garden and, with a wave of his hand, activated the local Array to block the view of any outsiders.

Then, he turned his gaze to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root in the center of the garden.

’This is indeed a Gold Element Spirit Root, but it has never managed to recover.’

Li Chang’an released a thread of Evergreen Magical Power to carefully inspect the condition of the Nine-leaf Sword Lily.

Soon, he determined that with his current abilities, he was still unable to restore the Nine-leaf Sword Lily.

Even if he used the special methods from the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique and exhausted a thousand years of his own lifespan, it wouldn’t be enough. At best, he could only grant the Spirit Root a little more vitality.

’I’ll need a special Treasure.’

After a moment’s thought, Li Chang’an dug up the Nine-leaf Sword Lily along with the Spiritual Earth beneath it and transplanted it to Changqing Mountain.

Just because he couldn’t restore it now didn’t mean he couldn’t in the future.

Afterward, he announced to the Mu Clan Members that the Nine-leaf Sword Lily’s life force had completely dissipated and he had disposed of it.

The Mu Clan Members were not surprised.

To them, the Nine-leaf Sword Lily had always looked sickly and frail, as if it might wither at any moment.

"It’s better that it’s dead."

"We had to spend a fortune in Treasures every year just to maintain its life force, but it never brought the family any benefits."

"With it gone, the family will save a lot of Treasures."

"..."

There wasn’t much discussion within the Mu Family regarding the Nine-leaf Sword Lily’s death.

And just like that, the Nine-leaf Sword Lily officially became part of Changqing Mountain.

The Eternal Green Vine extended a few vines, gently touching the Nine-leaf Sword Lily’s leaves as if trying to communicate, but it received no response.

’I suppose I now have Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots for the Wood and Gold elements. I’ll have to keep a sharp eye out for the other three from now on.’

After some thought, Li Chang’an continued to read the rest of the scroll.

After the Divinity Transformation Scroll was the Void Refining Scroll.

But after the Void Refining Scroll, there was no more of the Cultivation Technique.

’Only three scrolls again.’

Li Chang’an’s brow furrowed slightly.

He gripped the Jade Scroll tightly and poured his Evergreen Magical Power into it, hoping to trigger some kind of connection.

After a moment, he faintly felt a vague connection.

That location.
