Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Inside there are one hundred jin of spirit rice, and a set of Formal Disciple Clothing." Luo Bucheng swept a glance over everyone.

"Right." Everyone checked and found no errors.

Luo Bucheng then reminded: "If you still need to put anything away, hurry and go."

Lin An and the others turned and left at these words.

Only Xu Zhangqing stood motionless in place.

Because there was nothing worth his lingering attachment.

Not long after, those who had left hurried back one after another.

Luo Bucheng said half-jokingly: "The Small Storage Bag must be kept safe; this thing is after all not some high-grade item, incapable of Bond Mastery via blood. Once lost, then don't come crying to me with a runny nose."

"Hahaha." Several people laughed out loud.

Luo Bucheng added: "If there's no mistake, then we should set out."

"Good." Everyone couldn't wait to leave sooner.

At this moment, Luo Bucheng produced a token, engraved with a Flying Crane pattern, and saw him shout at this thing: "Nineteen Sir, we're setting out."

——Cry!

Not long after, a crane cry came from afar.

Then, a huge shadow approached at extreme speed.

Xu Zhangqing and the others looked up.

And discovered it was a huge White Crane with a wingspan over ten meters.

As soon as it approached, it immediately kicked up gusts of wild wind.

Blowing everyone staggering left and right, completely unable to stand steady.

Lin An, Zhao Ying and others retreated backward uncontrollably.

Xu Zhangqing was fine, after all he was Qi Refining Middle Stage, with five wisps of Spiritual Power within his body.

But he still pretended to retreat several steps, with a look of shock.

"A demon beast?"

"That's an immortal sect Spirit Beast!"

"If it were a demon beast we'd have been eaten long ago!"

Everyone discussed in a clamor.

Luo Bucheng said helplessly: "Nineteen Sir, don't toy with these juniors."

"Hehe." Then they heard this huge White Crane laugh in a human-like way, and afterward the wind force suddenly decreased.

Xu Zhangqing and the others finally steadied themselves.

Then looked at this huge White Crane with lingering fear.

But discovered the other side was also observing them with pink eyeballs.

"Everyone, mount Nineteen Sir's back with me." After Luo Bucheng waited for He Shijiu to land, he immediately greeted everyone, then went up first.

Xu Zhangqing and the others looked at me, I look at you.

Stubbornly no one dared step forward.

"What are you standing there for?" Seeing no one follow, Luo Bucheng urged in displeasure: "Come up!"

At this time, only then did several people carefully mount He Shijiu's broad and sturdy back.

Result: just as they stood firm, they sensed the surrounding scenery rapidly receding.

Curious, they looked and discovered they had unknowingly risen into the air.

Below, the Spirit Fields and buildings became smaller and smaller.

Looking down from above, those Outer Disciples were like dense Pi Fu.

Luo Bucheng smiled: "Indeed you should look more; after all, it's the last day in the Outer Perimeter."

"Outer Perimeter?" Xu Zhangqing was stunned.

Luo Bucheng said in a playful tone: "You wouldn't think the Spirit Fields are just this big, would you?"

"Uh." Xu Zhangqing and the others were speechless.

"Actually, below is only the Outer Perimeter of the Spirit Fields; the true Core Area can only be entered after becoming a Formal Disciple." Luo Bucheng explained briefly.

"I see." Everyone suddenly understood.

"There's still time; what do you want to ask?" Luo Bucheng shrugged.

"This..." Lin An and the others hesitated slightly.

"Senior Brother Luo, may I ask what Spiritual Root you Awakened?" Seeing no one dared ask, Xu Zhangqing simply spoke first.

"We're all Formal Disciples, call me Dao Friend Luo." Luo Bucheng then added: "I Awakened a Wood-Water Spiritual Root."

"Dual Spiritual Root!" Everyone was surprised.

Xu Zhangqing pressed: "Dao Friend Luo, is there a difference between Single Spiritual Root and Dual Spiritual Root?"

Luo Bucheng affirmed: "Yes, and a big one."

"How big?" Not only Xu Zhangqing, everyone was curious.

Why they Awakened Wood Spiritual Root could only stay in 【Spirit Field】.

Yet this Water Wood Dual Spirit Root before me has entered the 【Ling Beast Valley】?

"You should know, once you awaken a Spiritual Root you obtain a Spiritual Light Shield. From then on, all attacks of mortals have no effect on us whatsoever, right?" Luo Bucheng counter-questioned.

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing and the other two wore blank expressions.

The well-informed Lin An nodded and said: "Indeed there is such a saying."

Luo Bucheng said with a hint of pride: "I have two."

"Ah?" The several people stared with mouths agape.

"How to put it?" Seeing these people didn't quite understand, Luo Bucheng explained: "Just like Spiritual Roots mutually generate and restrain, especially Five Elements Spiritual Roots.

Such as Wood Restricts Earth, Earth Restricts Water, Water Restricts Fire, Fire Restricts Metal, Metal Restricts Wood."

"Right." Everyone subconsciously nodded.

Luo Bucheng continued: "Therefore, although you can restrain Earth Spirit Roots, when encountering the other types, especially Metal and Fire Spirit Roots you will instead be suppressed; the Spiritual Light Shield simply cannot defend against them."

"Is that so?" Zhao Ying seemed to half-understand.

"No wonder I feel dread whenever I meet a Metal Spirit Root." Lin An suddenly realized.

Xu Zhangqing pondered: "Meaning, the more Spiritual Roots, the higher the defense, the fewer the weaknesses?"

Luo Bucheng shook his head: "Not only that; it also means you can use more types of spells."

The vast majority of spells all have attributes.

For example, a Wood Spirit Root can only cast Wood Attribute Spells.

The more Spiritual Roots, the more types of spells you can cast, the better you can restrain opponents.

"Then doesn't that mean Five Elements Spiritual Roots are best?" Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow.

Luo Bucheng revealed a trace of admiring gaze: "Currently in the entire Cultivation World, the mainstream is Five Elements Spiritual Roots. Only pity such talents are too few; once one appears it inevitably provokes contention among all major Cultivation Sects."

"Web novels misled me!" Xu Zhangqing cried out in his heart.

Never expected that in the Tianyuan Realm what is truly valued is not Spiritual Roots, but comprehension.

Spiritual Roots are merely a necessary condition for cultivation, or rather a threshold.

Luo Bucheng looked at the several people's distressed expressions and couldn't help but console: "You needn't be sad either; since Spiritual Roots can restrain each other, naturally they can also generate each other."

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly asked: "How do they generate?"

"Very simple." Luo Bucheng revealed a meaningful expression, then said: "Once you have accumulated enough, you can seek Dao Companions with different Spiritual Roots.

Dual Cultivate together, and you can give birth to new Spiritual Roots."

"I see." Xu Zhangqing suddenly realized.

"Of course, you must find Mutual Generation Spiritual Roots, like Water Generates Wood. Absolutely must not find Mutual Restraint Spiritual Roots, otherwise before the new Spiritual Root emerges you will have been restrained to death." Luo Bucheng blinked.

"Generally how long does it take?" Xu Zhangqing was quite curious about this.

Luo Bucheng replied: "The first Spiritual Root birth takes around a hundred years; afterward each additional Spiritual Root doubles the time."

"Ah?" Lin An and the others instantly went dumbfounded.

Although Wood Spirit Root cultivators have longer lifespans than others.

Even if they cultivate Qi Refining to perfection, it's only a hundred twenty or thirty years.

In other words, they'd die of old age before the new Spiritual Root arrives.

"So, with that time you might as well work hard at cultivation." Luo Bucheng spread his hands and shrugged.

"Time?" Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes, thinking: "I have plenty of it!"

Others can't wait, but I don't mind.

Since I have to lie low and farm anyway, might as well collect a full set of Spiritual Roots while I'm at it.

Not to mention a hundred years, even a thousand years I can afford to wait!!!
