The Way of The Dao

"Spirit Root?" Long Yuyin asked in confusion when no one understood what Ling Tian was saying. Everything Ling Tian had said was a new world for them.

Ling Tian turned to see Long Yuyin as he frowned.

After thinking about it for several seconds, Ling Tian extended his hand and said to Long Yuyin, "Extend your hand."

Long Yuyin felt nervous and her heart began to beat nervously, while a slight blush began to flood her white, tender cheeks. However, she nervously extended her hand towards Ling Tian's hand.

Ling Tian proceeded to check her body.

"Indeed..." Ling Tian whispered when he finished checking Long Yuyin's body.

Releasing her hand, Ling Tian spoke with some surprise to Long Yuyin: "You too have a Spirit Root like little Shuiruo."

Long Yuyin and the others were surprised to hear this again.

Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin?

Although Ling Tian was not surprised that Long Yuyin also had a complete Spirit root, it still surprised him a little.

This was a lower plane!

Long Yuyin had a Metal Spirit Root.

If that wasn't enough, Ling Tian also knew other people who had spiritual roots.

Zhang Xinya and Tang Wanying!

The first time that he rescued Zhang Xinya and helped her refine the medicine pill to cure her body, Ling Tian found a natural affinity within her body, but he didn't take it into account at the time, as spiritual roots are rare in cultivators as well.

Ling Tian remembered this when he confirmed the spirit root of Mu Shuiruo.

He was sure that Zhang Xinya had a Fire Spirit Root!

And Tang Wanying had a Wood Spirit Root!

Ling Tian proved this when he rescued her and verified the internal wounds in her body when Tang Wanying escaped to make the demon beasts chase her.

Now it all makes sense. No wonder their rapid increase in internal energy is faster than others and they have this level of power at this age.

It was all because they had a Complete Spirit Root!

"Will we have a spirit root too? What do you say?" Mu Shen asked expectantly and looked at Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin with envy.

Ling Tian turned to him and said, "Usually it is women who have spirit roots more than men. Although it is a bit rare to find it in men, it is not impossible."

Ling Tian proceeded to check the meridians and Dantian of Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly as he noticed the affinities of both.

"You have a slight affinity with the spiritual elements, but you don't have a spirit root per se, unlike the two of them." Ling Tian explained in a nutshell, "But you will still have a slight advantage over other average cultivators."

Mu Shen had a slight affinity for the Earth, like his sister. While Tang Jingtian had a slight affinity for Wood as his sister too.

However, this was not really a Spirit Root. Just a slight affinity for that element, but even so, it would still be a little beneficial to them.

Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen were disappointed, but let it go when Ling Tian told them they would still have an advantage over the average.

"Don't worry, if you can satisfy me with your efforts and results, I will help you cultivate faster." Ling Tian encouraged them not to be disappointed. Everyone would be depressed knowing that others have better resources or skills than one.

Fwoosh

A slight disturbance in the air caused everyone to turn around to see Lan Yin.

Lan Yin's whole body was once again filled with black dirt, causing her to open her eyes in panic and run out to wash.

Giggles

Ling Tian laughed tenderly at the sight of Lan Yin.

"Once you advance each stage in the first realm, your body will expel black impurities, as you are washing your bodies from within, cleaning the residues and dirt, improving one's physical health." Ling Tian told them when they watched Lan Yin run away.

"Yinyin is cultivating too?" Mu Shuiruo asked in amazement as she saw her little sister and related what Ling Tian said.

"Um, she just broke another stage and so her body expelled the black impurities." Ling Tian replied to Mu Shuiruo.

"As I said, we cultivators also have our own way of classifying the power of ourselves or others. These are divided into States, Stages, Ranks, or mostly known as Realms." Ling Tian proceeded with the above.

"The first Realm, is the State of Chi Gathering, and is classified into 9 Stages." Ling Tian spoke seriously: "For now I will tell you only that... if you make it to the Eighth or Ninth Stage, you will be stronger than the Lord of the City, stronger than the Legend rank."

What!

Stronger than the Legend Rank!

The words stirred up emotions and euphoria in knowing that they could be stronger than the Legend rank.

Ling Tian preceded the sending of an information packet to their heads, surprising them once again by all that was happening.

"Those are the meridians, acupuncture points, as well as the functionalities of Dantian and everything related to the Chi spirit. You have to learn it all very well."

Ling Tian let them understand that information for a long time.

"Master!" Lan Yin arrived in front of Ling Tian with a big smile. Her skin was getting brighter and brighter with time.

"Good, Yinyin. Now stabilize your cultivation." Ling Tian patted Lan Yin's head lovingly, making her smile.

"En!" Lan Yin nodded and then sat down in the cultivation position and began to stabilize her Chi.

A long time later, everyone managed to understand the information Ling Tian gave them. Ling Tian also answered their questions.

"By the way, little Shuiruo, do you have any clothes you can lend Yuyin?" Ling Tian asked Mu Shuiruo.

"Mn." Mu Shuiruo understood instantly what Ling Tian wanted to tell her, so she nodded and then smiled at Long Yuyin.

"Good." Ling Tian nodded and then addressed Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian.

"I will give you a high-level technique to start cultivating. If you can satisfy me, I will give you a special technique."

Ling Tian shared a low-level Immortal Secret Art with them for a while, but that was more than enough for them to start. No one would be lucky enough to obtain Immortal Techniques easily when they start to cultivate.

Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen separated and positioned themselves to cultivate once they finished understanding the technique that Ling Tian taught them.

Ling Tian then searched his memories for cultivation chants that would be very compatible with the Spirit Roots of Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin.

"Yuyin, you have a Metal Spirit Root, so I will give you a technique according to your affinity. If you can also surprise me, I will give you a special technique for your spirit root." Ling Tian also imparted a low level immortal technique.

Long Yuyin understood this and also took space to be able to cultivate quietly.

"And as for you." Ling Tian went to Mu Shuiruo. Mu Shuiruo was smiling lovingly at him, waiting for what Ling Tian would say to her.

Ling Tian held back the urge to take Mu Shuiruo and leave everyone else in place when he was lost in her gaze and her beautiful eyes as if they were a shining diamond without impurities.

"Little Shuiruo, this is a high level chant. With this, your cultivation will be very fast." Ling Tian taught her a High Level Immortal Secret Art.

It was obvious that he would give Mu Shuiruo the best. She was his woman after all. The stronger she is, the more chance she has of defending herself from any situation.

Mu Shuiruo nodded and also positioned herself to cultivate.

Everyone, except Lan Yin, who was stabilizing his cultivation, was trying to cultivate for the first time and enter the First Stage of Chi Gathering.

Long after, Ling Tian was training Lan Yin to comprehend her strength herself, when there was a slight disturbance in the air.

Ling Tian turned to see who had entered the First Stage of Chi Gathering and smiled happily.
