"Refining spiritual roots...is there really such a secret method?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but doubt.

Ever since he entered the path of immortality, he only knew that spiritual roots were innate. He had never heard of any acquired secrets or pills that could refine spiritual roots and improve his qualifications.

But this jade is simply conclusive, and it is collected by Qingtong so preciously. Could it be true?

If this is true, it would be a bit outrageous.

Yuan Ming continued to read, his expression gradually becoming excited, then he fell silent again, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.

"Jumang Lingjue" has a wonderful idea and wonderful conception, far surpassing any wood-attribute secret technique or technique he has come across before. The specific method of this technique is to first find a Yimu spiritual plant and refine it with his own blood. Plant it and nourish it with magic power at all times, cultivating it into an existence similar to your own magic weapon.

As the spiritual plant grows, the owner is fed back by it, and the spiritual root is transformed.

It's just that "Jumang Lingjue" has strict requirements for spiritual plants. First of all, the grade cannot be too low, otherwise it will have no effect or the effect will be very poor.

The higher the grade of the Yimu Spirit Plant, the better the effect of tempering the spiritual roots.

Secondly, Yimu Lingzhi must completely match the attributes of the person casting the spell. If it is slightly different, it will fail and suffer strong backlash.

Yuan Ming picked up the green and blue seed. This thing was the spiritual plant that Qingtong was looking for for himself, Shuimu Lingnan.

Qingtong is a spiritual root with dual attributes of water and wood, which is a perfect fit with the water-wood Lingnan.

Yimu spiritual plants are not easy to find, but except for the rare spiritual species like the Five Elements Creation Tree, the higher the spiritual plants in the world of immortality, the more single their attributes are.

There are many pure wood-attribute spiritual plants, and there are also many dual-attribute ones like Shuimu Lingnan. Three-attribute spiritual plants are rare. As for the Yimu spiritual plant with four attributes, Yuan Ming has never heard of it.

"It seems that my spiritual roots are really unwelcome wherever I go. I might as well add another one to form the Five Elements Spiritual Root. I can also use the Five Elements Creation Tree to improve it." Yuan Ming sighed secretly.

He couldn't use this technique, but Xiying could. She had the Five Elements Spiritual Root, and the Five Elements Creation Tree just met the requirements.

It's just that the difficulty of practicing "Jumang Lingjue" doesn't end there. After finding a suitable spiritual plant and planting it, the difficult things begin.

The owner must participate in the entire process of the growth of the spiritual plant, and always use magic power to nourish and refine it to maintain a close connection between the two.

Therefore, practicing "Jumang Ling Jue" requires one to be trapped in a certain place for a long time without being able to leave even half a step. It is like being in prison. Only some true ascetics can persevere.

"Jumang Lingjue" has a certain ripening effect, which can greatly shorten the time required for the growth of spiritual plants. However, the more advanced the spiritual plant, the longer it takes to grow. The Five Elements Creation Tree is the spiritual root of heaven and earth. It would take hundreds of years to grow to the point where it would be effective.

Xiying seems to like to travel around. I am afraid this secret skill cannot be mastered.

However, Yuan Ming can overcome this difficulty.

He can plant spiritual plants in the Tiantian Cauldron space, and his magic power can always enter it to warm and nourish the spiritual plants without being trapped in a certain place.

"Well, these are the comments left by others..." Yuan Ming saw the end.

There are a few lines of small characters at the end of the jade slip, which do not seem to be written by the same person as the previous ones.

According to these few lines of fine print, after practicing "Jumang Lingjue", it will not only improve the spiritual roots, but also have certain benefits for breaking through the realm.

Qingtong collected Shuimu Lingnan, on the one hand, to temper his spiritual roots, and on the other hand, he probably wanted to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage with the help of secret techniques.

"It's such a wonderful secret skill, what a pity." Yuan Ming felt regretful, put the jade slip and seeds back into the jade box, and put them away.

He immediately checked another red storage bag. There was no special harvest in it, only some spiritual stones and materials.

Yuan Ming concentrated on calming his mind, took out a pill, drank it, and refined it.

At the same time, he controlled the split soul to circulate the Huanxin Jue, refining the increasing will power and improving the soul.

Xiying was the first to rescue Yan Sijing this time. Although Yuan Ming was not a dominant man, he did not want to hide behind a woman every time and had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

…

Three days later, the Fairy Fruit Fair will officially begin!

In the early morning, the roads leading from Fuso City to the outside of the city were crowded with people. The land in the city was precious, and every inch of it was valuable. The competition venue was set to be by the Lake of Flowing Fire outside the city.

In addition to the 128 islands that are eligible to compete for places in the Fairy Fruit Club, there are also nearly 500 islands that come to watch the competition.

There are at least tens of thousands of monks from all walks of life gathered from the entire East China Sea.

Fortunately, Fuso Island is the largest of the first-class islands and is strong enough in both territory and strength. Otherwise, it would not be easy to just restrain these foreign monks.

As monks from Hongzhi Island, Yuan Ming and Xiying didn't feel nervous at all before the game. They didn't even follow Bishuirou and other Hongzhi Island monks to rush to the arena. Instead, they mingled with the crowd and walked slowly.

"It is said that the sunrise beauty of Fuso Island is the best in the East China Sea. It is known as 'the blue sea is full of golden waves, and the divine birds are dancing in the sky.' But I have never seen it in the past few days." Yuan Ming said casually like a tourist.

Xiying, wearing a curtain hat and gauze covering his face, smiled and said: "Only when the Golden Crow occasionally shows a little bit of its figure, this kind of strange scene will appear. It cannot be seen at all times, but speaking of it, you Do you still care about this?"

"I have seen such verses in books before, but now that I am here, I have this thought." Yuan Ming also responded with a smile.

"If you really want to see it, there is nothing you can do. Before leaving here, try to make some trouble and disturb the golden crow. Then you will have this opportunity." Under the gauze, Xiying frowned and smiled, as if he was really thinking about this. feasibility of things.

"No need." Yuan Ming waved his hand quickly when he saw this.

In the past few days, he had inspected the Fuso Sacred Tree several times, but the Golden Crow Monster had never appeared.

While the two of them rushed to the venue with everyone else, a large lake near the Fuso Sacred Tree was already bustling with people.

The area of ​​the lake is not too big, but the water of the lake is rippling for some reason, reflecting the fire clouds in the sky, like balls of flowing flames, hence the name Flowing Fire Lake.

There is a huge square on the shore of the lake, paved with white jade, as smooth as a mirror, but there is no arena-like building, only a blue stone platform.

Thirteen tables were placed on the stage, and behind each table was a flag with the name of an island written on it, which was exactly the location of the thirteen first-class islands in the East China Sea.

The largest flag in the center is embroidered with water waves and cloud patterns, and has the three characters "Fuso Island" written on it.

At this time, there is still some time before the Immortal Fruit Club begins. The thirteen desks are still empty, and the people in charge of the thirteen first-class islands have not yet taken their seats.

The second-level islands participating in the Fairy Fruit Club are located in front of the blue stone platform, and each family also has a flag that belongs to them.

Further ahead, there are other people who came to watch the competition, including people from the second- and third-level islands who failed to qualify.

Although they were unable to participate in the competition, their enthusiasm for watching the competition remained undiminished. They each intensely discussed the results of the previous islands and predicted the results of this competition.

At the front of the square, people from the more than one hundred participating islands have arrived one after another and sat in their seats.

Under the flag of Hongzhi Island, Bi Shuirou leaned softly on the armrest, with a calm expression on her face. There was a pot of Huaniang Spirit Wine beside her, and she poured out a cup without rushing to drink it, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Haha, why is the owner of Bishui Island alone here? Could it be that there is no one available on the island?" At this time, a rough man with a loud voice came to Bishui Rou, rubbing his full beard.

Behind him, there was a white-faced man with a feminine expression in red gauze, and a young woman in coarse cloth. The former looked like she had the habit of Longyang, and the latter looked like a fire-burning girl with rough skin.

"If there is no one available on my island, what does it have to do with Island Master Luo?" Bi Shuirou glanced at him and stopped looking, her contempt and disdain evident in her words.

"Aren't you afraid that Bishui Island Master will suffer a loss... Besides, the competition for the top 16 of the Fairy Fruit Club will take three rounds. The people who appear in the three rounds cannot be repeated. Bishui Island Master can't all appear on his own, right? Hongzhi Island If no one is available, why not join us on Luoshan Island? We are a perfect match and we will definitely get a spot this time." The bearded man didn't care at all and said with a narrow smile.

"Luo Dao mainly wants to come to our Hongzhi Island. I don't mind giving you the position of deputy island owner." Bishuirou sneered and said.

"Forget it, Deputy Island Master. If Bishui Island Master wants a guest to recommend a pillow mat, I would be very happy, haha..." The bearded man had a lewd smile on his face, rubbed his beard and went to his seat.

Bi Shuirou narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of sullenness appearing in her eyes.

After a while, Yuan Ming and Xi Ying also chatted and laughed, rushed over and sat down next to Bi Shuirou.

Xiying noticed something was wrong with her expression and asked, "Fellow Taoist Bishui, what happened?"

"Two fellow Taoists, if we meet someone from Luoshan Island in the future competition, can we be more aggressive?" Bi Shuirou did not explain, but asked softly.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming looked towards the direction of the Luoshan Island flag and saw the owner of Luo Island rubbing his beard and pointing in this direction.

His hearing was extraordinary, and he immediately recognized the vulgar words the other party was saying that sooner or later Bishui Rou would be pressed under his crotch, and he also understood why Bishui Rou made such a request.

"If you are lucky enough to encounter it, it will definitely fulfill the wish of fellow Taoist Bishui." Yuan Ming responded with a smile, and at the same time transmitted his discovery to Xiying.

After a while, the square was already overcrowded, and people from the corresponding islands were sitting under all the flags. People from the thirteen first-level islands also came together and landed on the stone platform.

Unlike other participating islands where all three people were present, apart from Fuso Island, which hosted the conference, only one person in charge was present on the remaining twelve islands, so it was impossible to see at a glance who all the contestants were.

After they exchanged greetings and took their seats, a slender figure from Fuso Island, who was the host, walked to the stage.

This person is wearing a white gauze dress embroidered with gold patterns and a white high crown on his head. He has a pale face and a gentle expression. Five long snow-white beards hang down from his chest. He looks like an overseas immortal with an immortal air.

Yuan Ming had seen this person before when he used his spiritual consciousness to explore the situation in Fusang City. Xu Fu, the deputy island owner of Fusang Island, was a middle-stage Nascent Soul being.

He raised his hand and pressed it softly, and the whole square soon became quiet.

After saying some official words to welcome the guests, he went straight to the point and announced: "This martial arts competition is to select sixteen islands that are worthy of their position and participate in the follow-up ceremony of the Fairy Fruit Club. I hope you will uphold this." Daoxin, strive for it with all your strength."

The "virtue" he refers to is, of course, martial virtue.

After speaking, he raised his hand and waved, and a wave of water rippled in the void. Immediately, mist filled the air, and a cyan water curtain more than ten feet high was suspended in the void.

I saw ripples above the water curtain, and golden characters appeared on it one by one. What was displayed was the group battle situation of this competition.
