Chapter 15: Chapter 15 It's So Hard to Choose from the Ten Types of Spirit Roots
[Doing sit-ups again, dead and alive?]
[Heeheehee, happy, so happy~]
Not wanting to deal with the silly 666 system, Lu Xingyan turned her attention back to Yuezheng Yan.
"Since my junior brother has invited me, I naturally agree," Lu Xingyan chuckled.
[Oh yeah, this month I can eat two spiritual meals without sponging off Master's food.]
Yuezheng Yan only knew that Lu Xingyan was an alchemist, and all the pills she refined were top grade.
Logically, someone with such skills shouldn't be so hard up that they can't even afford two spiritual meals a month.
Feeling puzzled but not wanting to ask directly, Yuezheng Yan lowered his gaze and pondered, taking note of Lu Xingyan's preferences first, which was a good way to manage relationships before making use of her.
"I still have some matters to attend to, and since you've just arrived at the Xuanling Sect, you can rest for a while. You can also take a walk around Xiaoyao Peak; tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Main Peak."
"Okay, thank you, senior sister."
After watching Lu Xingyan return to her immortal's cave, Yuezheng Yan lowered his head to look at the empty plate on the stone table and silently started to clean up.
While Lu Xingyan hadn't gone far, he could still hear her cheerful heart's voice.
[To eat delicious food without washing dishes, I'm so happy]
[Old Sixth, what do you think of me forging a dishwasher in the Immortal Spirit Realm?]
[What will you use for kinetic energy? Spirit stones?]
[Surely you're not considering charging it directly with your Thunder Spirit Root with an aptitude of ten, right? It'll explode!]
[Your suggestion isn't bad, eh.]
666 system: [...] Did it make a suggestion?
[First construct the dishwasher and then organize a cultivator with a Thunder Spirit Root to scientifically channel thunder. Whether the dishwasher works or not doesn't matter, but it's a good method for practicing control over Thunder Spiritual Power.]
[No... calm down, who taught you to cultivate like this?]
The 666 system felt that because the plot hadn't started for the previous ten years, Lu Xingyan couldn't improve her Spiritual Root Aptitude, so she focused her mind on tormenting her own cultivation methods.
[That's the plan, I'll start practicing now~]
Lu Xingyan didn't pay any attention to the 666 system as she hurried back to her own immortal's cave.
There was a cave between theirs, exceeding the range of fifty meters, so Yuezheng Yan couldn't hear heart's voice after a while and conscientiously went to wash the dishes.
The moment Lu Xingyan returned to her cave, she didn't even make it past the doorway before kicking off her shoes and leaping onto the bed in a jump.
She sat cross-legged on the stone bed, straightened her back, and seriously returned her focus to the Point Mall.
[I have 1010 points, enough to raise a Spirit Root's aptitude to full.]
Of course, if she distributed the thousand-plus points evenly, she could maintain 20 points of aptitude in each of her ten types of Spirit Roots.
But Lu Xingyan had had enough of the pain caused by her low Spiritual Root Aptitude holding back her cultivation level.
Currently, each of her Spirit Roots' aptitudes was only ten, and raising just one of them to full would cost 900 points.
The difficult choice for Lu Xingyan at that moment was between the ten types of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ice, Light, and Darkness Spirit Roots, and which one she should first enrich.
Metal Spirit Root had high damage power, Wood Spirit Root was helpful for pill refining and could be used for poison and control, Water Spirit Root had inherent healing, Fire Spirit Root was related to alchemy and artifact refining, and Earth Spirit Root was suitable for formations, artifact refining, and added defense.
Wind Spirit Root boosted speed, and most importantly, one didn't need to reach Nascent Soul stage for Wind Spirit Root; as long as one had enough Spiritual Power, one could fly.
No need to talk about Thunder Spirit Root; Lu Xingyan was struck by lightning, giving her a love-hate destiny with Thunder Spirit Root, especially with its flashy special effects, and the ability to secretly strike down oath-breaking scoundrels.
Ice Spirit Root was also good, able to strengthen one's constitution, and most suited for her role as a sword cultivator who dabbles in both alchemy and artifact refining.
Light and Dark Spirit Roots were rare, good for either purification or stealthy underhand tactics, and coupled with the adage that one should not seek the best but the rarest (and most expensive).
