Chapter 60: The Gift of the Martial Arts Life

"Golden Blade Flame Art." After hesitating for a long time, Su Fan finally chose this immortal cultivation method, a gold-fire dual-attribute cultivation method. Although the Su family had only been established for about a hundred years, there were quite a few cultivation method scrolls in the Scripture Pavilion, no less than hundreds, and there were also twenty or thirty cultivation methods.

However, there were only three that could truly be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment realm, and the rest were just Qi Refining cultivation methods.

And the "Golden Blade Flame Art" was just a Qi Refining cultivation method. The reason Su Fan chose it was because this cultivation method, when practiced to a profound level, could obtain a small divine ability, "Fiery Golden Blade," with infinite power. A cultivator of the Su family at the seventh layer of Qi Refining, relying on this divine ability, killed two cultivators at the ninth layer of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.

Of course, it was quite difficult to practice this profound art to the level of a divine ability. There were twenty or thirty Su family disciples who chose this cultivation method, but only one practiced the small divine ability of "Fiery Golden Blade."

Su Fan's spiritual roots were five spiritual roots, and he could practice gold, wood, water, fire, and earth attribute cultivation methods. However, generally speaking, those who wanted combat power were often gold and fire attribute cultivation methods.

In addition, although this "Golden Blade Flame Art" was not a Foundation Establishment cultivation method, its subsequent cultivation method, in the Yunyang Sect, could still be exchanged for subsequent cultivation methods by spending a certain amount of sect contribution points.

And those three Foundation Establishment cultivation methods of the Su family, a "Green Wood Art," "Surging Waves Overturning the Sea Art," and "Golden Radiance Profound Blade Art," were not very much to his liking.

The reason he chose the Golden Blade Flame Art was also for his future plans. In the immortal cultivation world, besides martial power, it was best to have a craft, so that one could live better.

Taihe ancestor of Taihe Mountain, the reason he could become the ancestor of the loose cultivator holy land in Zheng Guo, besides his strength of the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion, was also because he was a master of both weapon and alchemy, and his craftsmanship in refining weapons and alchemy had reached above the fourth-tier middle-grade.

Even the Yunyang Sect would give him some face.

One hundred arts of immortal cultivation, once you really have a craft, you really won't be short of spiritual stones.

In his previous life, Su Fan understood that this was even more so in this world. One hundred arts of immortal cultivation, alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, spiritual planting, animal raising, etc., no matter which one, as long as it reached the first-tier high-grade, you wouldn't be too poor when you were in the Qi Refining stage.

And Su Fan, who had a cheat, was quite confident about the craft.

Any technique is practice makes perfect. These crafts like alchemy, weapon refining, etc., need to consume a large amount of spiritual stones to cultivate. Generally, unless you show talent, the family won't cultivate you for nothing.

But Su Fan had a cheat. In his mind, the virtual evolution space could still evolve for him, whether it was cultivation methods or methods of alchemy and weapon refining.

Even in reality, he still needed to try to increase his proficiency, but this process could be shortened to the greatest extent, which meant that others might need to refine a hundred furnaces of pills to reach a certain level, but he only needed one-tenth.

He knew his spiritual roots were poor, and his cultivation speed definitely couldn't compare to those family disciples with two or three spiritual roots, so from the beginning, Su Fan didn't think about relying on the family.

He relied on himself, earning money, earning spiritual stones, earning Foundation Establishment Pills.

And Su Fan had a cheat, and his brain's virtual evolution space could still evolve for him. He could also absorb the power of the soul seed, which was the essence of his previous life, and transform it into magic power. Moreover, absorbing the power of the soul seed was much faster than his own cultivation.

Su Fan, who had been practicing for more than a month, also had a certain understanding of the cultivation method of this world.

The cultivation of internal energy in the martial arts world and the magic power of immortal cultivation in this world were actually not much different in essence; they were both a special kind of power.

The only difference might be that the levels were different, and the latter's level exceeded the former.

Internal energy is refining essence into energy, refining the human body's essence into internal true energy.

And magic power is directly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, melting the spiritual energy with one's own divine origin, and finally the magic power practiced has a destructive power far exceeding internal energy.

It is equivalent to the difference between modern gunpowder and ancient black powder.

And the two develop different parts. In the martial arts world, internal energy is stored in the lower dantian, while magic power is hidden in the middle dantian and communicates with the upper dantian Purple Mansion.

But no matter how it changes, the essence is the same: refining a kind of power into another form of power. Magic power, true energy, and internal energy are all tools for humans to control power themselves.

Having practiced for decades, he was naturally familiar with this kind of cultivation. The only trouble might be the lack of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and his spiritual roots were indeed very poor.

Spiritual roots might be a kind of talent, a talent medium that allows people to perceive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With this medium, through divine sense, one can sense spiritual energy, then absorb them, and slowly melt them in the body, finally forming magic power.

The quality of spiritual roots is the speed at which this process of absorbing spiritual energy is expressed, or it can be said to be the degree of closeness of spiritual energy to you.

Su Fan did indeed feel this process, that deep malice. He could feel the bits of spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth, but wanting to absorb them was also very difficult, requiring great mental effort.

Compared to those clan brothers with three spiritual roots, it might take an hour for them to complete a heavenly circuit and refine a trace of magic power, but he probably needed several hours, or even longer.

Others could complete more than ten heavenly circuits a day, but he could only complete one or two. Wouldn't that be several times slower?

Although, through the evolution space of the Universe Mirror, the cultivation method could be evolved, the most suitable route for him could be found, and it could be constantly optimized and upgraded, but absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world and practicing magic power was still very slow.

According to his current speed, wanting to reach the magic power of the first layer of Qi Refining, I'm afraid it would take a year and a half. This was still after evolution, after opening the cheat. If it were an ordinary waste spiritual root, I'm afraid it would be three or five years.

Reaching the second layer of Qi Refining would take five years, and the third layer of Qi Refining would take ten years.

This speed was already quite good for other waste spiritual roots. Many five-spiritual-root cultivators in the family were only at the fourth or fifth layer of Qi Refining at forty years old, and some were only at the initial stage of Qi Refining.

Of course, if there were enough massive resources, it might be possible to improve to the fourth or fifth layer of Qi Refining. However, you are a five-spiritual-root, so why would the family increase resource investment?

Su Fan would definitely not be satisfied with this speed. If he followed this speed, wanting to break through to Foundation Establishment before sixty years old would be truly wishful thinking.

Qi Refining cultivators, generally if they don't break through to Foundation Establishment before sixty years old, then exceeding this age, even with a Foundation Establishment Pill, it is almost difficult to break through.

Fortunately, heaven does not cut off all paths. Su Fan's accumulation in the martial arts world, which turned into a soul seed, could help him in the early stage.

The vital energy contained in this soul seed was comparable to some genius treasures or pills. Slowly refining the power of the soul seed could accelerate his cultivation. ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
