Ordinary person: What to do with unused treasures? (On Zhuanzhuan)

Chapter 68 Fishing for Han Li with a Straight Hook

Upon hearing Mo Caihuan's words, Han Li was at a loss for words to answer his junior sister.

From ancient times to the present, the inability to cultivate without spiritual roots is an unchanging truth. How could he possibly have the ability to change that...?

Therefore, the only option is to remain silent.

Mo Caihuan was extremely intelligent. Upon seeing Han Li's expression, her initial anticipation vanished.

Han Li was already the most powerful cultivator she could come into contact with! If even Han Li couldn't handle it, then perhaps…

Mo Caihuan's face immediately darkened, and she even silently lagged behind Han Li by a few steps, becoming quiet and composed again.

"No spiritual root..."

"Of course, one can become a cultivator!"

Suddenly, Qin Fang spoke softly.

At the sound of the voice, Han Li and Mo Caihuan were in completely different states.

A glimmer of hope immediately rose in Mo Caihuan's eyes. Because of her senior brother Han Li, she already had some goodwill towards Qin Fang, a man of few words, and regarded him as one of her own.

And Han Li...

He had a speechless expression that seemed to say, "What are you talking about?"

Others might not know, but how could Qin Fang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, not know that mortals without spiritual roots cannot cultivate immortal cultivation techniques?

If you can't even sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, how can you talk about cultivating immortality?!

The next moment, Han Li's expression turned anxious, and he repeatedly gestured to Qin Fang, his meaning crystal clear... This is my business! Don't cause trouble!

however……

Qin Fang seemed completely oblivious, continuing to speak to himself on the quiet path:

"As far as I know, there are two ways for mortals to become cultivators!"

Before the words had even finished, Qin Fang had his clone cast a soundproof talisman.

The soundproof talisman casually cast by the Core Formation clone could not be detected by Qin Fang unless a mid-to-late stage Core Formation cultivator actively sought it out.

Upon seeing the soundproof barrier, Han Li's expression changed again, becoming extremely solemn.

He... wasn't joking after all?!

Han Li was truly shocked this time!

"The first type~"

"Cultivate martial arts techniques to elevate your physique to a level comparable to an eighth-tier demon beast, which is the realm corresponding to a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Upon reaching this stage, one can use special refining techniques to replace certain spiritual objects of heaven and earth with cultivation spiritual roots, and from then on, one can cultivate like a normal cultivator."

"However, this method is highly unlikely to work in the human realm..."

"The only drawback of the body-refining path is its effect on increasing lifespan; it's far inferior to cultivating immortality!"

"It is estimated that even a martial arts body cultivator comparable to an eighth-order demon beast, without cultivation, would only increase their lifespan by two or three hundred years at most."

"If we concentrate all the resources of the human realm, perhaps there's even a sliver of a chance to create a pure mortal martial arts supreme being using massive resources!"

"However, this is simply impossible..."

Qin Fang's first words were about the cultivation methods of mortals in the Spirit Realm. A certain human emperor in the Spirit Realm used this method to not only become a cultivator with spiritual roots, but also later advanced to the Integration Stage, which was extremely absurd.

Qin Fang said this unreliable method was simply because he didn't want his method to be too conspicuous.

Even with this method, his method of "bestowing" spiritual roots is still somewhat outrageous!

"The human realm?"

Upon hearing about a realm comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, Han Li immediately dismissed this method as worthless.

Even a legendary Nascent Soul stage cultivator would find it impossible to gather all the resources!

Instead, it was a name Qin Fang mentioned that caught his attention.

"The human realm...we'll discuss that later."

"Now let's talk about the second method!"

"My ancestors practiced a 'blood curse technique,' which came at an extremely high cost!"

"However, compared to the resources consumed by the method of entering the Dao through martial arts, it is just a drop in the ocean."

"However, I'm sure you two understand the principle of 'you get what you pay for'..."

"This method can indeed allow a mortal to obtain a spiritual root, regardless of which of the five elements it is; it should be possible!"

"Even... those with celestial spiritual roots are the same!"

When Qin Fang mentioned "Heavenly Spiritual Root," he saw an extremely intense light suddenly burst forth in Han Li's eyes.

A celestial spiritual root?!

Since this method can be used on mortals, doesn't that mean...?

A possibility immediately occurred to Han Li!

But soon~

Han Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, for a very simple reason! Qin Fang was not a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator, but a True Spiritual Root cultivator with three spiritual roots.

If this method were truly that good, Qin Fang would never have missed it.

Therefore... this method is either like the previous one, which is extremely difficult to implement and cannot be accomplished by ordinary cultivators.

Either... this method has a huge drawback!

Sure enough, Qin Fang's next words confirmed Han Li's guess.

"It's just a pity~"

"The 'predecessor' who created this method originally intended it to improve spiritual root aptitude, but unexpectedly created a burden!"

"It's like I have three spiritual roots: metal, fire, and earth. If I were to add a wood attribute spiritual root... it wouldn't make my spiritual root aptitude a single wood attribute spiritual root. Instead, it would pollute my original spiritual root, causing it to be downgraded to a four-element spiritual root!"

"Our ancestors recorded that... the spiritual root obtained through this method is often inferior to even the worst spiritual root that possesses all five elements!"

"It's simply a losing proposition."

Qin Fangzi carefully considered the sentence.

These are the results he obtained through various methods and experiments.

"In this way, it would be best to use this method directly to endow mortals with spiritual roots."

"Mortals do not have spiritual roots. Even if they have spiritual roots, it will not make their situation worse."

"but……"

"Perhaps it's a matter of constitution?"

"The results are equally disappointing. According to the records, even the best Heavenly Spiritual Root, when bestowed into a mortal without any spiritual root using this method, will have a far less effective result than a Five-Elemental Root!"

"In this respect, it is completely different from the effect of a cultivator with spiritual roots adding extra spiritual roots."

Qin Fang dared not speak too directly or plainly.

Simply put... it means that after a mortal obtains a spiritual root, regardless of the number of spiritual roots they possess, their cultivation speed is far lower than that of the lowest-quality five spiritual roots.

Even for cultivators who increase the number of spiritual roots, such an absurd situation does not occur; at most, the effect is slightly less pronounced.

Qin Fang guessed that this was probably because his body had not yet fully adapted to having an additional spiritual root.

Han Li, standing to the side, immediately lost interest in the method after hearing that increasing one's spiritual root would result in an extra spiritual root attribute appearing in one's body.

He was already a cultivator with four spiritual roots. If he were to gain another metal spiritual root... would he even survive?! It was already so difficult with four spiritual roots. If he were to become someone with all five elements, the difficulty of advancing would probably rise to another level!

However, the reason Qin Fang revealed this information was not only to explain it to Han Li and the other person, but also to try his luck, even if there was no guarantee of success!

You should know... once Han Li reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, he will need to increase the metal elemental spiritual root within his body!

When that time comes... hehe! I won't do it without some kind of benefit!

"How much energy does this method consume?"

Han Li glanced at Mo Caihuan out of the corner of his eye and suddenly uttered this sentence.

coming!

Xiao Han has taken the bait!

A barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in Qin Fang's eyes...
