Chapter 8: Spiritual Element Root

After seeing the departure of the two of them, Lin Feng sat down by the bed and began to calculate the merits of the previous fight.

According to the strength, Lin Qi had tested just now, Lin Feng believed that at this time he could overcome a fifth stage junior level cultivator with ease. No matter how great the ability of the green ouroboros eyes to see the flow of energy in other people's bodies to dodge, if the reaction speed of his own body can't keep up with it then it will no longer be effective.

Lin Feng had seen Lin Qi's attack as a third-stage junior-level cultivator, his pure strength was indeed much stronger than expected. Because of that, Lin Feng didn't dare to block his attack with his fleshly body, otherwise, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Meanwhile, the absolute breaker martial art was only suitable for self-defense, which was why Lin Feng only realized it after the fight was over. It was true that the attacks from his homemade martial arts were formidable, but that was only for close combat.

“It's a bit difficult to create new martial arts with my current cultivation, maybe it's time to focus on increasing my cultivation.” Lin Feng secretly thought. If he wanted to increase his strength quickly in a short period of time, this was probably the only way he could think of.

Lin Feng had experimented with others that the people in this world only knew of the existence of natural spiritual energy, physical energy, and mental energy. It was because of this that Lin Feng had consideration for hiding some of his strength, they could only see the cultivation level but could not see the life energy that Lin Feng had obtained.

If the other party underestimated Lin Feng's strength, it would be a good thing for him. But if one senses that the power is too strong from the original cultivation, perhaps everyone will pursue to learn the secret of the power one possesses. Therefore Lin Feng had to start cultivating natural spiritual energy seriously.

"Still 5 days before the Lin family's assessment, maybe tomorrow I should just test the spirit element roots instead." Lin Feng yawned after thinking about his future plans, then he fell asleep due to both physical and mental exhaustion.

-----

In the morning, Lin Feng who had woken up from his slumber immediately moved towards the magical artifact pavilion belonging to the Lin family. From his previous memories, he knew that there was a magic item used to test spirit element roots for cultivators and could test at any time.

“Though I know that the ancient ouroboros is said to possess the 7 elements type water, fire, earth, thunder, wind, death, and life. I'm still not sure if it's true or not, that's why I want to confirm it with my own eyes” Lin Feng said in a low tone as he walked over.

Lin Feng was looking forward to it with bright eyes as if he was excited like a child who couldn't wait to get his favorite toy.

When Lin Feng came to the magical artifact pavilion in the Lin family, he saw that there were already a lot of people here. Despite being called a magical artifact pavilion, they actually only sell the lowest grade magic items. It wasn't very useful in battles between high-level cultivators, only core people in the Lin family could possess magical artifacts for battle.

It was true that some people would come here to buy magical items but some people came here to test spiritual element roots like Lin Feng. This did not mean that spirit element roots would grow suddenly, but the attributes and quantity of spirit element roots would change over time.

Hence many people hold thoughts of becoming a genius overnight, perhaps one day their spirit element roots will mutate or their spirit element roots start to double. If that happened, they would quickly jump from the nickname of a failure and become genius.

But the probability of something like this was very low, the chance was only 1/10,000. As for the mutated and dual spirit element roots, although they are not the majority that doesn't mean they don't exist at all. Once they appear, it will be a genius among common elemental geniuses.

When Lin Feng stepped into the magical artifact pavilion, he caught everyone's attention. Especially because of his silver-white hair and green pupils, it really caught their eye.

Ignoring the people present here, Lin Feng went straight to the room where the common spirit element roots were tested. There were already so many people in this room, as soon as Lin Feng entered, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.

“Do you want to test the spirit element roots?” asked a middle-aged man in charge of the test room.

“Yes,” Lin Feng nodded his head.

"What's your name?" The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Feng scornfully while looking at the notes.

“Lin Feng!” Lin Feng said it in an even tone as if he didn't care about the middle-aged man's attitude.

The person in charge subconsciously frowned upon hearing those words. Then he started checking some records, here clearly stating that Lin Feng only had one ordinary rank and lowest grade fire spiritual root. Even his cultivation talent was extremely poor, but this test was not carried out by the Lin family. Which meant the person in front of him was an outsider picked up by the Lin family.

Seeing the explanation on this note, the middle-aged man in charge immediately handed over the magical item for testing. After doing so, he no longer paid any attention to Lin Feng.

In his view, Lin Feng was just a loser who wanted to rely on an unrealistic dream.

Lin Feng also didn't really care about the middle-aged man's attitude, after picking up the magical item Lin Feng walked to a quiet place and cut off a finger. A drop of blood from Lin Feng's finger fell directly onto the testing magical item.

The most common spirit element roots in this cultivation world were wood, water, fire, earth spirit element roots. And the quality of the spirit element roots is divided into four ranks, namely heaven, earth, mortal, and ordinary. Among them are perfect, high, medium, and low.

The higher the level of a spirit element root, the faster the speed at absorbing nature's spiritual energy. And it's getting easier to break through the cultivation level without the slightest obstacle.

The magical item will automatically analyze the blood dripping on its surface. If it contained a fire spirit elemental root, then a flame would appear within it. The larger the area covered by the flames, the better the quality of the spirit element roots.

At this moment, Lin Feng stared at the testing magical item. After seeing the results, Lin Feng's facial expression immediately turned shocked and finally returned to his level expression.

As the testing magical item was returned to the middle-aged man in charge, the other party asked casually, "What about the test results?"

“Same as before, no change at all!” Lin Feng answered him with a pained expression and walked out of the magical artifact pavilion.
