I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 91 - 89: Devouring Spirit Root, Mountain Moving Body Refining Skill

Chapter 91: Chapter 89: Devouring Spirit Root, Mountain Moving Body Refining Skill

Lin Chen’s thoughts were rapidly turning in his mind.

Jiang Liqian with her mysterious identity, the cultivation method for Anomalous Spirit Roots, Body Refining Dharma Gate, exploration of ancient ruins, Ancient Secret Techniques...

Each of these temptations would give ordinary cultivators no reason to refuse.

But for Lin Chen...

"Five years later, huh, by then I might already be in Core Formation..."

Lin Chen thought silently, for him, the five years mentioned by the girl was equivalent to ten years.

"If I’m already in Core Formation by then and can’t enter the ruins, then it shouldn’t be considered a breach of contract, right?"

"At worst...I’ll offer her some compensation."

"Both the method for Anomalous Spirit Roots and the Body Refining Dharma Gate are too useful to me..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen took a deep breath and said:

"I agree."

Seeing Lin Chen agree, a hint of joy appeared in Jiang Liqian’s eyes, and she no longer hid anything.

"Senior brother’s Spirit Root is actually not as simple as an Earth and Wood Dual Spirit Roots..."

"It’s a very rare Anomalous Spirit Root known as—Devouring Spirit Root!"

Devouring Spirit Root?

"I see, no wonder the Spirit Stones consumed in my cultivation are so vast...the name itself corresponds perfectly!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, roughly believing that Jiang Liqian was not lying to him.

Jiang Liqian continued to introduce what the Devouring Spirit Root was.

"The so-called Devouring Spirit Root may not be strong initially, but it becomes stronger as you progress."

"Just because...after continuously devouring Spiritual Energy, the quality of the Devouring Spirit Root can be continuously enhanced! In the end, it might become a powerful Spirit Root surpassing the Celestial Spirit Root."

Devouring Spiritual Energy to enhance the quality of the Spirit Root?

Lin Chen felt a twinge in his heart upon hearing this; does this mean his Spirit Root can keep upgrading?

Eventually surpass the Celestial Spirit Root? Then his cultivation speed must be extraordinary!

Seeing Lin Chen lost in thought, Jiang Liqian added:

"However, this process requires too many Spirit Stones and resources...ordinary cultivators can’t possibly afford it."

"Senior Brother, you must have noticed too, your cultivation speed is very fast...but the Spirit Stones consumption is astronomically high."

Though Lin Chen appeared calm, he privately agreed.

Indeed, his cultivation speed was fast, but he consumed ten times, or even tens of times more Spirit Stones compared to cultivators in the same realm.

Since breaking through to the Second Layer of Foundation Establishment, Lin Chen required twenty Spirit Stones daily just for cultivation.

Such a rate of Spirit Stone consumption causes pain even for Core Formation cultivators.

But fortunately, he was backed by a High Martial World, no matter how many Spirit Stones were consumed, he could still afford it.

"Here is a Jade Scroll recording the cultivation insights of an ancient cultivator possessing a Devouring Spirit Root..."

Lin Chen took the Jade Scroll but didn’t rush to read it, cupping his fists in gratitude:

"Thank you, Junior Sister Jiang."

Jiang Liqian nodded slightly and then retrieved an ancient manuscript to give him.

"I once saw that Giant Stone Body Refining Technique you practiced; it was modified by a cultivator based on ancient cultivation body techniques..."

"And I happen to have that ancient body refining technique, it’s the ’Mountain Moving Body Refining Skill.’ You should practice it well...Body Refining Cultivation will be very useful for exploring the ruins later!"

"If you can cultivate this technique to the Core Formation Realm within five years, it will be of great use..."

Mountain Moving Body Refining Skill...

Lin Chen took the ancient manuscript, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"This Mountain Moving Body Refining Skill will be greatly beneficial for the Blue Star Martial Path!"

"Perhaps...it could even pave the way for the Ninth Generation Breathing Technique!"

His thoughts were quickly turning.

Just the Giant Stone Body Refining Technique enabled the development of the Eighth Generation Breathing Technique.

The true Ancient Body Refining Technique can only be imagined in its potential...

"Thank you, Junior Sister Jiang."

As Lin Chen spoke, he grew even more curious about Jiang Liqian’s identity.

Possessing a wide knowledge and able to casually gift rare Ancient Body Refining Techniques to others...

Jiang Liqian’s identity was becoming increasingly mysterious.

"Please keep this Mother-Child Sound Transmission Jade well, I’ll transmit voice to you if anything comes up later."

Jiang Liqian handed over a Jade Scroll.

After taking the Jade Scroll, Lin Chen didn’t linger much longer and rode back to Pill Peak on the Purple Jade Gourd.

Not long after Lin Chen left, a silhouette appeared beside Jiang Liqian.

"Young Master, with your strength, do you really need this brat’s help to explore that ruin?" an elderly voice questioned.

Jiang Liqian chuckled lightly at the question.

"That ruin is peculiar, after manifesting, it might cause quite a stir on Qing State’s land, those places might send people to explore too..."

"And now that I’m hiding within the Changchun Sect, I don’t have many hands to mobilize, Lin Chen is an asset worth using."

"It’s just an Ancient Body Refining Technique, if he truly can assist me once the ruins open...what does a bit of technique matter?"

The old man nodded at this, not speaking further.

...

On the other side, upon returning to Pill Peak, Lin Chen immediately examined the Jade Scroll.

As Jiang Liqian mentioned, the Jade Scroll recorded an ancient cultivator’s notes on cultivating with a Devouring Spirit Root.

Lin Chen pored over it multiple times and gained some understanding.

Devouring Spirit Root, devours the essence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, embodying it as personal power.

Those with this Spirit Root can not only use Spirit Stones to cultivate but also offer Spirit Stones to the Spirit Root.

At the same time, the Devouring Spirit Root is divided into several stages:

The first stage of Devouring Spirit Root: Full compatibility with the Five Elements, and the cultivation speed of each element rivaling True Spirit Root.

The second stage: Full compatibility with the Five Elements and cultivation speed rivalling Earth Spirit Root.

The third stage: Full compatibility with the Five Elements and cultivation speed rivaling Celestial Spirit Root.

Fourth Stage...

In the Jade Scroll, that ancient cultivator only reached up to the third stage.

Due to the terrifying amount of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Energy needed for the fourth stage.

"To reach the first stage, according to that ancient cultivator, requires an offering of...ten thousand Spirit Stones?"

"The second stage requires a consumption of...one million Spirit Stones?"

"The third stage consumes an entire Spirit Vein..."

Even with Lin Chen’s substantial wealth, such astronomical figures left him powerless. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"The previous multiple transactions, plus that windfall...my entire fortune amounts to only five thousand Spirit Stones."

"Ah, worse still...before reaching the first stage, none of the consumed Spirit Stones will have any benefit."

Lin Chen sighed lightly, realizing that unless he amassed ten thousand Spirit Stones, he couldn’t even hope to reach the first stage of Devouring Spirit Root.

"Given the current situation, perhaps I can gather ten thousand Spirit Stones within half a year, meeting the requirements for the first stage of Devouring Spirit Root..."

Lin Chen murmured.

This Devouring Spirit Root, though its potential is frighteningly high, is also a bottomless pit for Spirit Devouring Stones!

For Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, or even Nascent Soul cultivators, this Devouring Spirit Root is far less tangible than the Celestial Spirit Root.

However, for those above the Divinity Transformation Stage, the Devouring Spirit Root is an unparalleled qualification.

Because they can allocate more resources in Spirit Stones, enhancing the Spirit Root quality becomes easier.

In other words...this Devouring Spirit Root is an unbeatable qualification for the late stage.

"For now, the only option is to first accumulate Spirit Stones..."

"With the support of a High Martial World, pushing the Spirit Root to the third stage shouldn’t be too difficult though."

Lin Chen thought silently; in any case, knowing his type of Anomalous Spirit Root is certainly not a bad thing.
