Yun Xiu Niang’s words made Chen Lin’s heart tremble.
I didn't expect that it would actually affect my advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. This must be treated with caution.
But he immediately asked in confusion: "I don't know much about condensing the Nascent Soul, but now that I have switched to practicing the thunder attribute technique, I shouldn't need the five elements of spiritual roots to condense the Nascent Soul, right?"
Under normal circumstances, cultivators only use the spiritual roots that correspond to the techniques they use. The other spiritual roots only affect the practice of spells and have nothing to do with breaking through realms. Otherwise, how could a cultivator with a single spiritual root be promoted, and how could they be sought after and be called a heavenly spiritual root!
The Five Elements Spirit Cultivation Technique given to him by the Silver Fairy does require the Five Elements spiritual roots, but what is needed is the Five Elements Qi, not the spiritual roots themselves. He doesn't know if this will have any impact.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and did not say anything about this matter.
The Five Elements Spirit Cultivation Technique is a secret of the Silver Fairy, and he cannot tell anyone about it without her consent, so he will ask the Silver Fairy directly about this doubt later, and verify whether Yun Xiu Niang's statement is correct.
Yun Xiu Niang knew everything and answered Chen Lin: "Condensing the Nascent Soul is a process of qualitative change. Your aptitude is low to begin with, and your lightning root is an acquired root, which is worse than your innate root. If you don't use some other means to assist, you basically don't have to dream about it."
Chen Lin's face turned black. This female ghost must be holding a grudge and did it on purpose.
Yun Xiu Niang smiled and said, "There are only a few ways to assist in forming a baby. One is to use extremely special natural treasures. Unless you are extremely lucky, you can never get them in this world. Another way is to use special energy to nourish the golden elixir. The power of the five elements is the most widely used method."
At this point, she sighed and said, "It's a pity that our methods of cultivation are different. I have never been involved in this kind of secret method, otherwise you wouldn't have to collect them everywhere."
Chen Lin said, "It doesn't matter. No matter how rare this kind of secret technique is, as long as it exists, I can find a way to get it. But according to what you said, after using this defective earth spirit bead to form a spirit root, the energy generated by it to nourish the golden elixir is also harmful, right?"
This is what he focuses on.
Yun Xiu Niang nodded and said, "Although it can't be said to be harmful, how can a golden elixir nurtured with such a flawed five-element power condense a Nascent Soul? Unless you can find the earth element energy that contains the innate yin attribute to make up for it, don't even think about advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."
Then she immediately added: "As for the treasures containing innate energy, it is hard to say whether there are any in this world, let alone the innate earth energy of yin attribute, so you should give up this earth spirit bead and find another basic spiritual object."
The other party was talking incessantly, but Chen Lin was stunned.
He stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.
Then he put the things away and said to Yun Xiu Niang, "I'm going to see my master to see if I can find a solution. After all, earth-attributed spiritual objects are hard to find. If I don't use this, I don't know when I can grow earth spiritual roots. It will delay things too much."
Yun Xiu Niang pouted immediately and returned to the wooden hairpin reluctantly.
She was still very wary of the Silver Fairy and never dared to show any of her feelings in front of her.
Chen Lin put the wooden hairpin and the Tianji umbrella back into the box, pasted the talisman on them, put them away, and then left the cave.
But he did not go to the City Lord's Mansion, but came all the way to Sun Caiyi's cave.
A spell was cast on the cave door, and soon the door was opened, revealing Sun Caiyi's pretty face.
"Ah, Elder Chen, you're here. What's the matter?"
When she saw it was Chen Lin, Sun Caiyi immediately became a little nervous, pinching the corner of her clothes and asking in a low voice.
"I have something to ask you."
Chen Lin replied and strode into the cave.
Sun Caiyi subconsciously wanted to stop him, but in the end she did not move. Instead, her face blushed slightly, she closed the cave door, and walked into the cave.
Chen Lin sat down in the main seat without any hesitation, then looked at Sun Caiyi.
"Don't be nervous. I won't do anything to you. I just want to ask you, is the earth energy born from your earth spirit body yin or yang?"
After saying that, he waited quietly for the other party's answer, and cast a small mental spell so that he could detect if the other party was lying.
"ah!"
Sun Caiyi screamed, and then covered her mouth, as if she was afraid of making Chen Lin unhappy.
Although she had the foundation-building skills and was naturally intelligent, she was still young after all, and had always been under the protection of her family. She rarely came into contact with strangers and didn't quite know how to get along with Chen Lin.
But she immediately calmed down and said, "My innate earth spirit body also gave birth to innate earth energy. Because I am a woman, my nature is yin."
Having said this, she seemed to have thought of something and her face turned slightly red again.
Chen Lin, however, showed a look of realization.
It turns out that the Sun family was waiting for him here!
It is estimated that the other party already knew that he did not accept Sun Caiyi, so he sent such a set of treasures. As long as he used the Earth Spirit Pearl, he basically had no other choice but to take Sun Caiyi into the room.
And they have to continue to rely on each other until their spiritual roots are completely formed or their Nascent Soul is condensed.
This is an open conspiracy by the other party. Even if he finds out in advance, there is no way to hold him accountable, because the other party can be said to have prepared a way to make up for it for you a long time ago, so you don't have to blame anyone.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin stopped hesitating and took out the three treasures and placed them in front of Sun Caiyi, then told her the whole story.
Under the current situation, he has neither the possibility nor the time to find a treasure to replace the Earth Spirit Pearl, so he has no choice but to consider accepting the other party.
But he will also give the other party a certain degree of choice, and if the other party strongly resists, he will not force it.
Firstly, this goes against his usual principles. Secondly, if the person next to you has such an intimate relationship with you and hates you to the core, you will not be able to sleep well.
To Chen Lin's surprise, Sun Caiyi did not show any anger or grievance after listening to his story, but seemed very calm.
She said quietly, "From the moment my family sent me here, I have been Elder Chen's person. I am mentally prepared. Elder Chen does not need to consider my feelings. If I cannot become Elder Chen's person, then my family will come a second or third time. Otherwise, they will not feel at ease."
"And I can't possibly leave you." Sun Caiyi continued, "My family has provided me with the best resources since I was a child, which has enabled me to reach the foundation-building stage at a young age. Now is the time for me to repay my family. This is what I should do, and it is also my destiny."
After saying this, Sun Caiyi suddenly became less nervous and less shy.
At this moment, she instantly completed her transformation from a young girl to a real female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Chen Lin couldn't help but look at this girl with new eyes. Although she seemed immature, she could get to the heart of the matter and was calm enough.
"I'm glad you understand."
He nodded, and after a pause, he said, "But you don't have to worry. You can find out how I, Chen Lin, treat the people around me if you go out and find out. Although following me won't make you soar to the sky, it will definitely not be worse than when you were in the Sun family. Since you don't have any objections, then pack up and go back to my cave with me!"
Sun Caiyi's face flushed again, but she nodded generously and said, "Okay, my dear husband, I will clean it up now."
Chen Lin brought the other party back to the cave and did not stay there. Instead, he got up and went to the City Lord's Mansion.
After asking the Silver Fairy for advice, he went to Qin Lingyu's cave to sit for a while, had a brief communication, and finally returned to the cave.
Then he hung a sign indicating a retreat above the cave entrance.
One month later.
Chen Lin sat upright in the spacious training room. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened and a look of deep joy appeared on his face.
After a month of hard work, the Earth Spirit Pearl was finally completely refined and fused.
This speed is also much faster than when he first merged with the spirit of Lei Xing. In addition to the fact that his cultivation has changed a lot, it is also thanks to the great help of Sun Caiyi. His innate earth spirit body is indeed extraordinary!
Only then did he realize that the Sun family had really spent a huge amount of money to send Sun Caiyi away.
After the Earth Spirit Beads were fused, it was equivalent to forming an Earth Spirit Root. Although it could only be considered a pseudo-spiritual root, it could be used to practice the Five Thunders Bombardment technique.
As for the Five Elements Spirit Cultivation Technique, it had already been started. With Sun Caiyi's innate earth element, it didn't matter whether she had earth spiritual roots or not.
After checking the newly emerged pseudo-earth spiritual root again, Chen Lin stood up with satisfaction and walked out of the training room.
"My husband, you are out of seclusion now. Do you want to take a bath and change clothes?"
Sun Caiyi was also practicing. After hearing the noise, she walked out of another practice room and asked with concern.
Chen Lin stroked the other's hair and said, "I won't bother you anymore, my lady. Let me, your husband, serve you today!"
After saying that, he took out a large pile of high-quality spiritual food ingredients from his storage bag and started cooking.
This skill was brought over from the previous life, and the level has been greatly improved in this world. Soon the fragrance filled the air.
Sun Caiyi began to clean the table, put the tableware in place, and found a pot of spirit wine.
The saying "love grows with time" is very true. After a month of getting along with each other, he and Sun Caiyi have gone from strangers to close friends, just like an old married couple, and their every move is in perfect harmony.
The two of them ate a sweet and affectionate meal, and then entered into a state of cultivation again.
A year has passed in a flash.
During this year, Chen Lin stayed at home and rarely went out. Except when summoned by the Silver Fairy, he was always in a state of cultivation. Occasionally, he would stay in Qin Lingyu's cave for a night to prevent the other party from feeling neglected.
As his cultivation level improved, his comprehension of various spells also continued to increase. He finally reached the entry level of the extremely mysterious spell of Five Thunders and could perform it.
And this spell gave him a great surprise!
