Mortals ask the immortals

Empty spiritual root? What does that mean!

The old man's words puzzled Duan Qing. He asked Senior Sister Su, spiritual roots are generally divided into five elements, such as gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The grades are divided into heaven, earth, black and yellow, among which the heaven grade is the highest and the yellow grade is the lowest.

For example, Senior Sister Su has a middle-grade water spiritual root of the heaven grade. She practices the top water-based technique Luoshen Jue, which is like divine help.

So he was not surprised at all when the old man said that he was a top-grade black grade, because his aptitude was ordinary. Generally, the quality of cultivation aptitude is related to the spiritual root. The spiritual root grade of those with good aptitude is mostly not bad, and vice versa.

As for the virtual spiritual root mentioned by the old man, he was completely confused!

So Duan Qing asked the old man.

"May I ask, uncle, what is a virtual spiritual root?"

The old man explained with a faint smile.

"Hehe, virtual spiritual roots, that is, your spiritual roots do not have any attributes! I have been stationed in the library for many years, but this is the first time I have encountered it!"

Duan Qing was shocked. Without any attributes, what kind of skills should he practice? He was suddenly a little panicked. If he could not continue to practice, how could he catch up with Senior Sister Su!

The old man saw Duan Qing silent and smiled.

"Hehe, kid, don't be nervous. This virtual spiritual root has both advantages and disadvantages."

Duan Qing asked hurriedly.

"Please help me, uncle!"

The old man glanced at Duan Qing, slowly moved his feet, walked towards the door, and said as he walked.

"The advantage is that you can practice any attribute of the skills without restrictions."

Duan Qing was happy when he heard this. It seems that he can still practice, but when he thought of the disadvantages, he asked again.

"What are the disadvantages?"

The old man stopped at this time and looked back at Duan Qing with some joking.

"Hehe, the downside! The downside is that practicing any attribute of the skills and casting any spells will not gain any benefits. I'm afraid that the kid will be like me, and will stop at the Transcendent Realm for life!"

Duan Qing was shocked! The words "stop at the Transcendent Realm for life" echoed in his mind like thunder, making him stand there.

The old man smiled when he saw this, turned around and continued to walk slowly out the door. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly laughed at himself.

"Hehe, virtual spiritual roots, virtual spiritual roots!"

"Boy, everything is possible, go to the last bookshelf on the second floor, and take a look at the third jade slip from the top right corner!"

When the old man walked out of the door, he suddenly said this to Duan Qing lightly.

Duan Qing immediately came back to his senses, and hope ignited in his heart again.

Yes, everything is possible. Others can't do it, but it doesn't mean that I can't do it!

Duan Qing's eyes were firm, and he walked up to the second floor.

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Duan Qing felt as if there was a flash of resistance. He paused, and then stepped onto the second floor smoothly.

This should be the array barrier of the library! Duan Qing thought.

Yes, how could the library, which houses all the cultivation techniques of the sect, not have any protection and let an old man in the Transcendent Realm watch over it!

But Duan Qing didn't know what the conditions were for triggering the array, but since he had already successfully entered, he didn't bother to care about it!

There were four shelves on the second floor. Duan Qing walked around first and took a rough look.

There were probably hundreds of jade slips on the outermost shelf, all hung on the wooden shelf with red ropes, and there were even more on the second one, densely packed with no less than two hundred slips.

When it came to the third shelf, it suddenly became less, with only more than thirty jade slips.

The fourth shelf had the least, with only seventeen jade slips sparsely hung!

What was a little strange was that in the wooden trough at the bottom of each shelf, there were more or less a pile of bare jade slips.

Duan Qing was thoughtful. He started from the jade slips on the outermost shelf, and then the second one.

He found that the jade slips were arranged according to the level of the skills. The outermost wooden shelf was full of low-grade skills, and the second wooden shelf with the most jade slips was full of medium-grade skills.

As for the wooden troughs under each wooden shelf, they were all filled with blank jade slips, which were used to copy the skills. The copying methods were engraved on the wooden troughs.

After understanding, Duan Qing stopped looking at the third wooden shelf and went straight to the innermost wooden shelf.

He picked up a few of the 17 jade slips and placed them between his eyebrows in turn.

Yanyang Jue, the top-level fire-type skills.

Kuishui Jue, the top-level water-type skills.

Luoshen Jue, the top-level water-type skills.

Houtu Jue, the top-level earth-type skills.

Duan Qing didn't expect that he would get Sister Su's practice skills by just picking them up, so he put the other jade slips back and put the Luoshen Jue jade slip between his eyebrows to look at it carefully.

First, there is the introduction, Luoshen Jue, a top-level water-based technique, which can be practiced by those with lower-grade water spirit roots or above.

Further down is the complicated text of the Transcendent Realm technique, as well as several water-based spells that can be performed in the Transcendent Realm.

Duan Qing slowly took down the jade slip and hung it back on the shelf. This Luoshen Jue is indeed extraordinary. Although he didn't read the main text, just looking at the water-based spells, each one looks extremely powerful.

After reading Luoshen Jue, Duan Qing didn't want to read anything else. He just did what the old man said, found the third jade slip from the top row, took it down and stuck it between his eyebrows.

"Small Five Elements Jue!"

Duan Qing muttered softly.

Duan Qing continued to read down. The strange thing was that this Small Five Elements Jue had no other introduction except the name.

Directly below the name was the text of the technique, as well as a full ten spells, two spells of each of the five systems!

Duan Qing was a little confused. Since this jade slip was hung at the innermost part, it must be one of the top-level techniques.

But why are there no spiritual root requirements?

It stands to reason that top-level techniques require at least natural spiritual roots to practice. If one's spiritual roots are not good and one practices more advanced techniques by force, not only will the speed of practice be extremely slow, but there will even be the risk of regression, just like sailing against the current.

Senior Sister Su had already told him all this in advance.

But why did the old man recommend the Little Five Elements Jue, which should be a top-level technique, to him when he knew that he only had a Mysterious Spiritual Root?

He suddenly remembered the old man's last words, everything is possible!

No matter what, Duan Qing plans to copy the Little Five Elements Jue first, and then go back to ask Senior Sister Su before making plans.

In addition, to be on the safe side, he copied a non-attribute technique, Lingyuan Jue, from the middle-grade technique corresponding to the Mysterious Spiritual Root.

This Lingyuan Jue is the technique that he finally selected after careful selection, and it is a technique that is more suitable for him, because it is a non-attribute technique like Yinyuan Jue.

It is quite compatible with Duan Qing's non-attribute virtual spiritual root.

After copying the two exercises, Duan Qing looked at the stairs leading to the third floor, and couldn't help but feel a little curious. The second floor was full of the cultivation exercises of the Transcendent Realm, so the third floor should be the cultivation exercises of the Questioning Heart Realm!

Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to see what it looked like.

But as soon as he walked to the stairs leading to the third floor, he felt a resistance coming, and then the resistance instantly changed into repulsion, which bounced him away.

After standing still, Duan Qing sighed and understood something in his heart. It seems that if you want to go to the third floor, you must at least be a Transcendent Realm cultivator!

After the attempt failed, Duan Qing was not discouraged. Anyway, he is only in the Qi Training Stage now, and it is useless to hold the Questioning Heart Realm exercises. It is better to solve the Transcendent Realm exercises first!
