Chapter 72 - 72 The Reason Why There Are So Many Swords in the Immortal Cultivation World
Fang Jinyu’s benefits weren’t limited to it. Other than the different attributes of the spiritual roots, there were also differences in their aptitudes. There were four classes, A, B, C, and D. In addition, each class was subcategorized into two classes denoted by “+” and “-“.
Initially, after Fang Jinyu used the Mortal-Transmutation Elixir to remove the fire element from his spiritual roots, his wind attribute and lightning attribute spiritual roots were rated B-. However, his lightning-attribute spiritual roots directly upgraded to A after he refined the purple-volt spiritual fire!
Fang Jinyu even got an A+!
The improvement of his spiritual roots cleared Fang Jinyu’s mind. Everything that he hadn’t been able to understand before, as long as it was related to the lightning attribute, was now clear in his mind.
Fang Jinyu immediately understood it!
It was the benefit of having a strong spiritual root!
Not only could Fang Jinyu cultivate faster and improve his efficiency in refining elixirs, but he also had an advantage in understanding and cultivating great divine power spells that were compatible with his spiritual root. He could get twice the result with half the effort.
“Lifeless thunderstorm technique, great success.”
“I have an idea on how to refine a lightning attribute spirit tool.”
“Although I’ve wasted a lot of time refining this purple-volt spiritual fire, it’s worth it!”
Fang Jinyu was overjoyed.
Fang Jinyu had yet to master the authentic spirit bloodline’s great divine power—the thunderbolt fully, which made the great divine power lack power and consume a lot of inner energy. Although it would drain half of his inner energy, it greatly boosted his combat power.
“When I’m ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, I will consume the Six Alloy Elixir. At that time, I can fight against cultivators who rank 1 or 2 in the Core Formation stage for a while by using the authentic spirit bloodline’s great divine power!”
As someone who possessed an authentic spirit bloodline, Fang Jinyu was naturally well aware of the power of the great divine power.
Fang Jinyu thought, “No wonder the book mentioned that the Lei sisters will immediately stand out after they awakened their ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline. The Tianling Sect immediately focus on training them and they enjoy better treatment than disciples with a Tianling spiritual root!”
If a cultivator with a Tianling spiritual root wanted to fight someone beyond their stage, their chance of winning depended on their luck and whether the Core Formation stage cultivator they met was weak.
However, unless they came across Core Formation stage cultivators who had also awakened their authentic spirit bloodline, individuals who had awakened their authentic spirit bloodline might briefly exchange blows with Core Formation stage cultivators.
Things were the same for a Core Formation stage cultivator. It was the rascal aspect of the authentic spirit bloodline.
After all, for someone like Fang Jinyu, who could draw a bolt of lightning from the depths of the heavens, even someone with a cultivation base far superior to Fang Jinyu’s couldn’t ignore his power. Instead, they could only choose to avoid it or try to disperse it.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu began to refine spirit tools.
However, since Fang Jinyu possessed the purple-volt spiritual fire, he didn’t need to go to a peak that was especially used for refining spirit tools.
Initially, Fang Jinyu had only planned to use the Lightning Strike Stone given by the Tianling Sect’s Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster to refine a saber or sword-shaped lightning-attribute spirit tool. It was because this type of spirit tool would usually require fewer materials and didn’t require any profound craftsmanship.
It was why cultivators’ talismans and spirit tools were mostly made in the shape of swords.
However, Fang Jinyu changed his mind after he obtained a few more Lightning Strike Stones from the Monastic Immortal City.
Fang Jinyu could refine a powerful mountain-shaped spirit tool of any size with the Lightning Strike Stones and some Cuprites!
Before Fang Jinyu had transmigrated, the most unforgettable thing he had seen in the television series “Gods of Honour” was the Earthshaking Seal.
Moreover, if he managed to refine such a spirit tool…
It could also help Fang Jinyu greatly when he obtained the half-magic treasure that was still in the process of being nurtured.
It was Su Yier’s future opportunity and also one of the few opportunities that Fang Jinyu could use. Furthermore, the opportunity wasn’t of much use to her since she even gave it to her spirit beast as a toy. However, Fang Jinyu needed it very much!
“With luck, I can become a lightning-attribute Tianling spiritual root cultivator if I succeed!”
Fang Jinyu wouldn’t have such thoughts if his spiritual roots weren’t graded A+, because he could only sigh in admiration at the level of luck he had back then. However, he wouldn’t have to use too much luck since his spiritual roots were graded A+. Even the current amount of luck that Fang Jinyu has at his disposal is enough.
However, Fang Jinyu believed that he should increase his luck before it.
Otherwise, Fang Jinyu would have to face a lot of trouble as soon as he attained a Tianling spiritual root cultivator.
Many factors made it possible for Fang Jinyu to become the leader of the Monastic Immortal Alliance after he killed Lu Shaojun. Although he had disguised himself well, the fact that there had been no accidents so far was more or less related to his luck.
Those with strong luck would have everything go according to their wishes.
Those with weak luck would get tooth decay even if they drank cold water.
The purple-volt spiritual fire flickered and split apart a few Lightning Strike Stones without damaging its lightning power. After all, the grade of the spiritual fire was far higher than the Lightning Strike Stones.
The Lightning Strike Stone was precious only because it was a lightning-attribute spiritual item!
In terms of spiritual items, it was only below average.
Next was the Cuprite, which was also a lower-middle grade spiritual item. Although it wasn’t very precious, it was still a rare item in this place.
It was because the Cuprite was a kind of bulky spiritual item. Although it was only the size of a palm, it weighed 1000 kilograms.
It made the transportation of such spiritual items extremely inconvenient.
Moreover, the place of the manufacturer was far away from the Tianling Sect. There were six or seven desolate forbidden lands and two mortal dynasties between them. Therefore, it was difficult to find a Cuprite in the vicinity.
However, some people were still selling it. The major and minor sects, with a Core Formation stage cultivator in charge, would go there by the stargazing flying ship and bring back some Cuprite using some secret techniques.
There were many of them in the Tianling Sect.
Fang Jinyu obtained his Cuprite from the Monastic Immortal City. It was because it was convenient for him to refine spirit tools, and he wanted to take the opportunity to display his “skills” as a Core Formation stage cultivator.
Foundation Establishment stage cultivators couldn’t easily bring so much Cuprite when they left.
After all, it was one of the few opportunities Fang Jinyu could impersonate a Core Formation stage cultivator.
Two days later, the spirit tool was completed. Since Fang Jinyu only used lower-middle-grade materials, he could only refine a middle-grade spirit tool. However, the seal-shaped spirit tool was bulky, weighing over 100000 kilograms. Fortunately, he had refined it and had a high cultivation base. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to use it.
Other than that, Fang Jinyu also had a few wind-attribute spiritual items.
These spiritual items all had higher grades, which were upper-middle grades.
The only downside was that Fang Jinyu only had a few wind-attribute spiritual items. They were only enough for Fang Jinyu to refine a three feet long wind-attribute spirit sword.
Fortunately, it was a high-grade spirit tool.
...
However, it couldn’t be compared to Qin Haoyue’s previous sword. After all, the other party’s sword could release spiritual fire, and Fang Jinyu didn’t dare reveal that he had the purple-volt spiritual fire.
One’s refined spiritual fire could be seized by others, that’s why!
The only thing that couldn’t be seized was the authentic spirit bloodline.
The authentic spirit bloodline could be used to refine spirit tools. Even if one didn’t have excellent refining skills, they could still refine superior-grade spirit tools!
For example, the Lei sisters.
