Chapter 228: The Five-Element Spiritual Root

One day later.

Tushan Youyou left, fully satisfied, carrying over a hundred Soul Jades.

Not long after Tushan Youyou left.

The Array outside the residence was triggered again.

When Wang Jianqiang saw that beautiful figure outside the main gate, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

With a thought, he opened the spatial portal.

A moment later.

A pure and lovely beauty appeared before Wang Jianqiang.

"Daoist Friend Wang, it is truly wonderful to see that you are safe and sound."

"I haven't been able to reach you for this entire time, and Wanxin was worried to death."

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, Yang Wanxin subconsciously grasped Wang Jianqiang's palm.

Having not seen her for several months, the aura on Yang Wanxin had strengthened quite a bit.

She had actually broken through to the Golden Core Initial Stage.

At such a young age, not only had her attainments in alchemy reached Third-tier Advanced, but even her cultivation had broken through to the Golden Core Stage.

Such a cultivation speed was simply shocking.

After the surprise.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Yang Wanxin's pure and beautiful face, smelled the fragrance wafting from her, and chuckled, "Many thanks for your concern, Wanxin Fairy; Wang merely left Shenfeng City for a trip to attend to some matters."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Yang Wanxin realized, then could not help but say, "Daoist Friend Wang, the wilderness is far too dangerous. For Alchemists like us, our combat strength is too weak, and going to the wilderness is a very dangerous thing. Please, never take such risks again in the future."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, not dwelling further on this matter, and his fingers slid gently across her palm, "It has been a long time; has Wanxin Fairy encountered any difficulties in alchemy? Wang can provide Clarification for you now."

Yang Wanxin nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Clarification can wait; Wanxin will first resolve the Karma for Daoist Friend."

Twenty hours later.

After finishing resolving the alchemy difficulties for Yang Wanxin, Wang Jianqiang took out a Soul Bead.

"Daoist Friend Wang, what is this?"

Looking at the jade-like bead hovering above Wang Jianqiang's palm, Yang Wanxin asked with some confusion.

"This item is called a Soul Bead; it can enhance Soul Power."

"Since Wanxin Fairy has already successfully achieved Golden Core, it is time to consider enhancing your Soul Power."

"Enhancing Soul Power is not only helpful for progress in alchemy, but it is also related to future Nascent Soul formation."

Wang Jianqiang explained with a smile.

Yang Wanxin came from a top-tier major sect of the region, so she naturally knew the benefits of enhancing Soul Power for alchemy, and was even clearer on how to achieve Nascent Soul.

The more this was the case, the more she understood how precious a treasure that could rapidly enhance Soul Power was.

When she took the Soul Jade under Wang Jianqiang's gesture and felt the Soul Power within the jade—which was so pure it could be converted into her own strength almost without needing much refining—she could not help but reveal a look of astonishment.

"Such pure Soul Power!"

"Cultivating using this Soul Jade is likely much faster than consuming Pills to cultivate!"

Hearing Yang Wanxin's words, Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, waved his palm, and over a hundred Soul Jades flew before Yang Wanxin.

"Wanxin Fairy, take these Soul Jades."

Yang Wanxin was stunned, and after coming to her senses, she shook her head repeatedly, "How can this be? These Soul Jades are too precious; Wanxin cannot accept them."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Wanxin Fairy is right; Soul Jades are indeed very precious. To tell the truth, these are already half of Wang's total reserves of Soul Jades."

"When obtaining these Soul Jades, Wang even went through a life-and-death struggle."

"If it were anyone else, let alone these, Wang would be reluctant to gift even one or two."

"But Wanxin Fairy is different."

"Towards Wanxin Fairy, Wang will not hold anything back; if Wang has a share, then Fairy has a share."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Yang Wanxin's face flushed red, and a touch of being moved appeared in her expression.

"Ding, Yang Wanxin's Good and Evil Value has increased. Current Good and Evil Value: 99 points."

Hearing the system notification sound in his mind, Wang Jianqiang's eyes brightened, then his face turned dark.

Stuck at the threshold again, damn it?

He had discovered that the difficulty of increasing the Good and Evil Value grew as the numerical value increased.

Especially after reaching 99 points.

The difficulty of this final point's increase was even greater than the increase from 90 to 99 points.

"Many thanks for your deep affection, Daoist Friend Wang."

Just then, a shy voice pulled Wang Jianqiang's attention back to reality.

When he came to his senses, a pure and beautiful face was already pressed against his.

Ten hours later.

Yang Wanxin ultimately accepted the Soul Jades gifted by Wang Jianqiang.

After bidding farewell to Wang Jianqiang, she left with great reluctance.

After Yang Wanxin left.

Wang Jianqiang left his residence and took a trip to Shenfeng Pavilion.

He picked out a mission.

After returning to his residence, he went straight to the fourth floor and purchased the Medicinal Herb needed to refine the mission Pill.

Just as he was preparing to go downstairs, he suddenly remembered that all the cultivation Pills he had on him had been distributed to Wang Yuyao and Su Yutong.

So he exchanged for a large quantity of Medicinal Herb for refining the Origin Spirit Purple Heart Pill.

After returning to the third floor, he thought for a moment, and his consciousness entered his Hunhai.

He looked at his Golden Cultivation Point.

Unknowingly, the Golden Cultivation Point had already increased to 13 points.

He did not hesitate and directly added ten of them to his Root Bone.

Originally, after one enhancement, his cultivation speed could already rival that of an ordinary Four-Element Spiritual Root Cultivator.

Now, with the boost of 10 Golden Cultivation Points.

His Spirit Root instantly improved by two levels, and his cultivation speed reached a degree comparable to that of an ordinary Double Spirit Roots Cultivator.

A cool stream of air swept through his entire body.

He felt a sense of ease in his body, and his perception of the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth became much clearer.

After a period of adjustment, he was glowing with health.

He began to refine Pills.

……

Time passed in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, time had reached the eighth year since the Assessment Secret Realm opened.

On this day.

Wang Jianqiang had just finished refining a batch of Pills and was closing his eyes to recover.

In his mind, a system notification sound suddenly rang out.

"Ding, Su Yutong's cultivation has broken through, current cultivation: Golden Core Late Stage."

"Golden Cultivation Point +1, Silver Cultivation Point +1, Divine Ability Point +1, Cultivation Point +2500."

Yutong's cultivation has broken through?

Wang Jianqiang woke up from his cultivation, a smile appearing on his face.

Regarding Su Yutong's breakthrough, he did not show much surprise.

With the support of a large number of Perfect Origin Spirit Purple Heart Pills, and her own Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude.

It would only surprise him if the speed of her breakthrough were slow.

Immediately after, he closed his eyes again and entered a state of cultivation.

……

Another year passed in a hurry.

Now it had reached the ninth year since the Assessment Secret Realm opened.

On this day.

Wang Jianqiang, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, felt his body tremble, and his aura surged suddenly.

His cultivation had finally broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage.

He stood up tall.

Just as he was preparing to go out for a walk, and by the way turn in his mission and accept a new one.

A system notification sound suddenly rang out from his mind.

"Ding, Wang Yuyao's cultivation has broken through, current cultivation: Golden Core Stage Perfection."

"Golden Cultivation Point +1, Silver Cultivation Point +1, Divine Ability Point +1, Cultivation Point +2500."

Hearing the system's voice, Wang Jianqiang laughed.

Yu Yao has finally broken through as well?

Immediately after, he seemed to have thought of something, and his consciousness sank into his Soul Sea.

Seeing that the number of Golden Cultivation Points in his Attribute Panel had become 5, his eyes lit up instantly.

"System, upgrade Root Bone."

His heart stirred.

The number 5 after the Golden Attribute Point flashed and became 0.

At the same time, behind his Root Bone, the four characters "Five-Element Spiritual Root" flashed and became the five characters "True Five-Element Spirit Root".

True Five-Element Spirit Root?

Seeing the change in the Root Bone column, Wang Jianqiang raised his eyebrows.

If there is true, there must be false.

Could it be that his previous Five-Element Spiritual Root was fake?
