Chapter 304

【Ding, Ye Hei claimed your red packet.】

【Ding, Lei Yingdian claimed your red packet.】

【……】

Ye Hei: "A cup of tea? This is Enlightenment Tea."

Su Xiao: "Definitely something amazing. Does the Light Ancient Star even have stuff like this?"

Ye Hei: "Damn, lucky I drank it fast, or that damn dog would've wasted it again."

Hu Yifei: "I just gained insight into the Five Elements—I broke through to the Five Elements Realm! This tea is terrifying!"

Xiao Mai: "Even Emperors covet this stuff—it's definitely valuable. At our current realm, drinking it will yield huge benefits."

Anya: "Mom drank the tea and became super strong. 【Eyes sparkling】 Wow so cool, Brother is amazing!"

Jie Geng: "After drinking it, I fused my true qi with the Exorcism Power!"

Jia Bai Li: "Same here—I suddenly understood it, and the Angel's divine light merged with my true qi. Now I'm not afraid even if Sister comes for me. Hahaha… I never have to worry about her dragging me back again."

Huang Rong: "I feel my comprehension has skyrocketed—I've developed my own understanding of martial arts. This tea is incredible."

Xiao Wu: "+1"

Chiantian Airu: "+1"

Han Paopao: "+1"

Zhang Taixuan: "Looks like everyone gained a lot!"

Ye Hei: "By the way, do you sell this? 【Hopeful】"

Xiong Ba: "【Hopeful】"

Ying Zheng: "+1"

"…"

Zhang Taixuan: "Not for sale. But next banquet, I'll let everyone drink for free."

Lin Fengjiao: "My Lord is generous! If I drink a few more cups, my Inner Universe Technique should be complete—I'll be able to use it against enemies~"

Yue Buqun: "I don't even have a technique yet—am I wasting such fine tea?"

Xiong Ba: "Old man's Qilin Seal has just entered the beginner stage, hahaha… @Yue Buqun, Old Yue, you can save the tea until you gain a technique."

Yue Buqun: "【Speechless】 When will that ever be?"

Su Xiao: "Don't listen to Xiong Boss's stupid idea, Master Yue. Real power comes from turning good things into strength—not hoarding them to breed."

Zhang Taixuan: "Exactly. Master Yue, don't worry about this. Technique and cultivation base—cultivation base matters more. Remember, strength is the foundation; techniques are merely tools for protection. Don't chase techniques and neglect the root."

Xiao Mai: "Thank you, Brother Taixuan, for the guidance."

Chiantian Airu: "I thought it was a pity before, but now I realize I nearly went off track."

Han Paopao: "This is the truth in one sentence, falsehood in ten thousand scrolls. @Zhang Taixuan, My Lord, are you free now? I'm sending Jin Guang Shiren over."

Zhang Taixuan: "Sure, I'm free right now."

Su Xiao: "Aren't you already taking in the Light Clan? How can you still be free?!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Hah, do you think I'm their babysitter? I'm their ancestor, thank you very much."

Jia Bai Li: "Damn, here comes the Ancestor Man!"

Hu Yifei: "Terrifying!"

Yuki Yukino: "The most terrifying part? The Light Clan begged My Lord to become their ancestor."

Su Xiao: "Totally normal. Someone as powerful as My Lord—swap worlds, countless people would beg to recognize him as ancestor."

Xiong Ba: "Totally normal. Finding a strong backer—My Lord is such a massive backer, it's a dream come true."

Zhang Taixuan: "Jin Guang Shiren has been received. I've dropped him to study his spiritual root. Next login, he might even have spiritual roots for sale."

Su Xiao: "【Hopeful】"

Han Paopao: "If that's true, I'll definitely trade for a top-tier spiritual root—I want to feel what it's like to be a genius."

Ye Hei: "If it's not expensive, I'll buy one just to play around!"

Su Xiao: "Play around? Looks like Ye Hei, you've had a good haul lately—earned a lot of points, right?"

Ye Hei: "【Clever】 Call me Source Master My Lord."

Ye Hei: "I found a few Divine Source mines. Me, Pang Bo, and Liu Yiyi mined them—we made over a million points. 【Red Packet】"

Ye Hei: "Let everyone enjoy."

【Ding, Hu Yifei grabbed Ye Hei's red packet.】

【Ding, …】

Hu Yifei: "Seriously? He gave out thousands of points at once!"

Jia Bai Li: "Big Boss, take me along—I'm a professional miner."

Xiao Mai: "Xiao Mai can mine too. 【Eyes sparkling】"

Nenji Eri: "+1"

Han Paopao: "If you don't mind, count me in."

Ye Hei: "Next time—I'll wait until I find a big mine. And let's be clear: fifty-fifty split."

Hu Yifei: "｀ ¨Who's the 'five'?!"

Su Xiao: "??"

Hu Yifei: "Sorry—I've been infected by Mei Jia! 【Sweating】 Turns out idiots are contagious."

Guangming Mountain.

"Where is this?"

Jin Guang Shiren, the moment he stepped out of the portal, froze in stunned silence.

He was a person from the cultivation world, but he was merely a tiny shrimp in it, never having seen any grand scene.

The Light Clan, though not worth Zhang Taixuan's notice, also failed to rank among the powers of the universe.

But this depends on who you're comparing with!

Before Jin Guang Shangren, the Light World before his eyes seemed like a celestial realm, leaving him frozen in terror.

"You don't need to know where this is!"

A voice rang out; Jin Guang Shangren turned around and saw a young man of supreme authority, as if an Immortal King had descended upon the world. His legs went weak, and he fainted instantly.

Zhang Taixuan reached out and seized Jin Guang Shangren, bringing him close to inspect him.

Having read countless novels and confirmed with Han Paopao, Zhang Taixuan knew that spiritual roots had four characteristics: attribute, affinity, spiritual energy transmutation efficiency, and comprehension.

Attribute: Spiritual roots are categorized by elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ice, and others; cultivating techniques or spells matching one's attribute yields double results.

Affinity: The higher the quality of the spiritual root, the stronger its affinity for spiritual energy.

A genius stands still and spiritual energy surges toward him; an ordinary spiritual root, even at maximum technique output, can draw only a trace of spiritual energy.

Transmutation efficiency: With the same technique and equal intake of spiritual energy, those with strong spiritual roots transmute more, while those with weak roots transmute only a little—the rest leaks from their body like water through a bamboo basket.

Comprehension: The stronger the spiritual root, the greater the comprehension.

In the cultivation world, it is rare for someone with a poor spiritual root to possess extraordinary comprehension and rise against all odds.

Generally speaking, comprehension and spiritual root strength are proportional.
