Chapter 26 -26: The Spiritual Root is Forced to Have a Baby!
After Wang Zijia had made sure everything was in order, he swiftly began to search the room.
This was a cultivation room—the most likely place to hide something.
He first checked the bookshelves, which held only ordinary books. Many were biographies and miscellaneous records from the cultivation world, some of which could broaden Wang Zijia’s knowledge.
He did not deal with them right away, but continued his search.
Fortunately, the room was simply furnished. He swept through it quickly, and finally, in one place, he found a hidden compartment. He thought it was some secret room switch, but inside was a small cloth bag, the size of half a palm, like a small sachet.
“Could this be… a storage bag?”
A look of joy spread across Wang Zijia’s face. Even his father had only heard of them, but had never seen one. None of the menial workers on the ground floor of the Wanyu Pavilion had one, at least not openly.
He carefully held the small bag, letting out his True Qi expectantly. A void of about five cubic meters appeared in Wang Zijia’s perception.
The bag contained many items, none of which were treasures.
There was a bit of Spirit Rice, some talismans, and various low-level spiritual materials that together were worth about two to three hundred magic money.
A small pile of magic money, probably worth over a hundred, testified to their poverty!
It seemed that the devil cultivator who had exploded had taken a lot of things with him before he left. At least the things in the bag did not match the assets of a peak sacrificial wine devil cultivator.
Or perhaps they belonged to the two people who died in the room—in which case, they were quite wealthy.
After rummaging through the bag for a moment, Wang Zijia was excited to find two secret books tucked into one corner.
“Spiritual Energy Shaping” and “Clay Control”.
Both were first-grade advanced techniques!
However, according to the secret books, they did not seem like offensive, defensive, or escaping techniques, or even methods for solo cultivation, regrets not getting the full inheritance of that devil cultivator!
Having spotted the books, Wang Zijia once again lamented their loss.
After packing up the items, he turned back to the bookshelves and stuffed in all the books related to cultivation, healthy or not, including several treasured dual-cultivation books.
Then Wang Zijia started to search through other courtyards again. He searched through half of the night, turning the mansion upside down, and found nothing more.
“That’s it. If there’s anything I missed, I guess it wasn’t meant for me!” Wang Zijia murmured, preparing to leave.
After taking a few steps, he came back.
The sect hadn’t sent anyone over for several days, clearly not prioritizing this matter. They seemed to be letting the city handle it. But this evening’s incident involved the Mysterious Domain, and Wang Zijia didn’t know if this was significant or not.
Even though the Mysterious Domain had been fortuitously dispelled by him, he believed he should inform someone, rather than let the city guards overlook it as a normal occurrence.
Even if the chance was small, he needed to take precautions. After all, he had drained the sinful origin of those dead people, turning them into ordinary corpses.
He returned to the cultivation room, which now stank horribly.
Most of the chunks of flesh had rotted, and the blood that had leaked out was thick. The half-rotten blood looked like tar.
Wang Zijia’s True Qi surged, carrying a bit of blood. Out of caution, he specifically used the blood stained by sin. On the floor, he wrote, following the conventions of the high-level cultivators of this realm:
“Wandering freely with joy, my belly full and my heart inebriative.”
“Dao Jie of Shu Mountain Sect passed by your sect, destroyed a Mysterious Domain, cut off the sinners, and left this note. Do not forget!
Because the matter of the Evil Spirit is not to be taken lightly, the fear is great, so there is no need to worry about being tracked.
Of course, it is needless to mention the level of importance attached to this matter, which the sect hadn’t bothered to send personnel to handle for days.
If a fourth realm guru were to come and trace the matter, Wang Zijia would be quite honored to try to curry favor with them!
Looking at the gradually drying black blood words on the ground, Wang Zijia nodded and slipped away.
He hadn’t deliberately made a lot of noise or anything, since even if there were few people patrolling here, there would certainly be people who would discover the dead body of that guard on the main street in broad daylight!
······
After wandering around for a while to make sure he wasn’t being followed, Wang Zijia quietly drifted back to the courtyard.
After changing into a fresh set of clothes, he entered the secret room in his study, eagerly taking out the small wooden box and the “Wanyu Basic Cultivation Method”.
Taking a deep breath, he started to read.
Sure enough, as he flipped through, the text on the book began to animate. Within moments, each character flew into his mind. When he had slowly finished reading the book, the book in his hand had turned into a bound volume of straw paper, devoid not only of characters but also any trace of spiritual light.
Read 𝓁atest chapters at fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm Only.
Meanwhile, a cultivation method appeared in Wang Zijia’s mind.
He took a deep breath, extravagantly pulled out two magic coins, held them in his hand, and began his first cultivation session.
Perhaps it was because the original owner had been in contemplation for many years, supplemented with years of preschool training. Or perhaps it was due to the impact of the innate realm and six hundred years of power. He easily achieved tranquility.
About a quarter of an hour later, a thin strand of mana was born between his meridians. The mana was faint and unstable, as if it could disappear at any moment.
Wang Zijia was joyful yet worried about its disappearance. Without waiting for it to enter his Dantian, he hurriedly let it into his Sea of Consciousness.
Sure enough, a tiny light spot was born out of a single weight.
Without hesitation, Wang Zijia grabbed it and then split the weight of his martial cultivation into two, one worth ten points and the other more than six hundred points.
He had to keep the ten points; anything less would cause his martial realm to fall, devolving him into a postnatal martial artist. By keeping this, he remained a congenital martial artist, only with a power of ten years.
“Exchange power!” he commanded swiftly.
“Collap!”
As the command appeared, he felt the surging innate true qi in his body being compressed into strands of mana, with his Dao cultivation quickly increasing.
Meanwhile, he discovered that the spiritual root, which had been continuously transforming after being cleansed of pollution, finally completed its ultimate transformation with the change in his cultivation and the birth of mana.
What stunned Wang Zijia was that two items suddenly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
One was a golden rune, forged from countless threads and felt tangible. The other was a silver-white weight.
However, it was a bit strange; there were no points displayed, and it didn’t seem exchangeable.
Weight: Demon Seeding Spirit Root
Category: Innate Technique
Description: The Evil Spirit Root’s extraordinary characteristic is to erode and pollute. You stripped its pollution. What was the extraordinary characteristic it could summon? The root stirred an innate technique to satisfy the root’s inherent erosive characteristic.
You have triggered a birth within the Spirit Root. You really are a cunning spirit. Luckily, it was a top-grade Spirit Root which theoretically could produce an innate technique, otherwise it would be impossible.
Effect: Special Talent, capable of sowing demons in other people’s Spirit Roots, use own consciousness to substitute as the demon, pollute other’s Spirit Root, control the foundation of other’s Dao law, and control even life and death. However, the degree of pollution depends on the individual’s own ability as well as other composite factors such as other’s will and cultivation.
Note: The effect will be limited if used on ordinary people without Spirit Roots!
······
Along with the birth of this golden rune’s innate technique, his Spirit Root also transformed.
Weight: Special Earth Spirit Root
Grade: Lower Grade Spirit Root
Value: 3000
Description: After stripping of the pollution, the Spirit Root automatically reconciled and returned to its original nature. Due to its special circumstances, the cultivation of the Blood and Flesh Curse magic method would also have a slight bonus.
Looking at the transformed Spirit Root and the golden rune that represented the Demon Seeding Weight, Wang Zijia had a pile of untranslated information in his mind. He carefully sorted it out for a moment before understanding the principle.
The Spirit Root itself is an extraordinary characteristic. The characteristic itself represents the transcendence in this direction, hence it’s called Spirit Root.
The characteristic of the Evil Spirit Root is pollution and erosion.
However, for the Balance Scale, the Spirit Root is the concept of the Spirit Root, and pollution is the concept of pollution. Hence, they were two separate weights, with pollution being stripped and exchanged by Wang Zijia.
The Evil Spirit Root was in a quandary. Its extraordinary characteristic was pollution and erosion. Without these characteristics, how could it be extraordinary?
Normally, this would have caused a collapse, but the Balance Scale suppressed and locked its normal operation; as a Spirit Root, it has to operate!
Then there came this accidental birth of the Special Earth Spirit Root. As for the innate technique, it was the replacement of the Evil Seed breath with pollutant and erosive effects.
But this pollution was conceptual. In practice, it was merely his consciousness replacing the pollutant, taking control of another’s body, or Spirit Root.
With his own consciousness replacing the evil thoughts, he polluted other’s Dao foundation and Spirit Root, fulfilled the Demon Seeding of the Spirit Root, and had complete control over other’s life and death.
