Mortal: I have a gathering technique

Fang Qing left Jin Guang's body exposed to the scorching sun for an entire day.

As dusk fell, once it was confirmed that Jin Guang had no chance of rising from the dead, Fang Qing moved Jin Guang's body back into the cave.

After that, he did not leave, but continued to study the "Mysterious Gold Sword Technique".

The day passed quickly.

The next day, the gathering technique was refreshed, and Fang Qing came to Jin Guang's side once again.

[Fire Spirit Root - Gather!]

Fang Qing used the gathering technique again.

This is an experiment.

Having used the Collection Technique for many years, Fang Qing has gained a deep understanding of this cheat.

According to his summary, the collection targets can be divided into "tangible" and "intangible".

If the target of collection is something "intangible," such as human memories, the person whose memories are collected will not lose their memories after the collection is successful.

At this point, the collection is more like a copy, so it can be repeated multiple times.

However, if the target of collection is a "tangible" object, such as gold or silver, the collection results will be exactly the opposite.

For example, if Fang Qing tries to collect a gold ingot, and successfully collects one tael of gold, he will lose one tael of the ingot.

However, among the many subjects Fang Qing experimented with, the elixir was different.

Fang Qing once conducted an experiment using an "antidote pill".

If he were to collect the antidote pills directly from the antidote pills, the result would be no different from collecting gold or silver.

However, if he collects the herbs needed to refine the antidote pill, he can successfully collect a complete herbal plant.

The price was that the antidote was completely destroyed, turning into ashes.

On the surface, exchanging a finished pill for a single herb seems like a loss.

However, it should be noted that the herbs used in one detoxification pill can be used to make more than one detoxification pill.

As long as the alchemy technique is advanced enough and the quantity of pills produced is sufficient, the harvesting technique can be used to continuously produce pills.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Qing had absolute confidence in his future cultivation.

That's why he didn't rush to the Seven Mysteries Sect to seize the Heavenly Bottle.

Although he is unlikely to defeat Han Li.

Let's go back to the topic of spiritual roots.

At this moment, Fang Qing specifically used the "Fire Spirit Root Gathering" technique.

One reason was to verify whether spiritual roots were "intangible" or "tangible".

Secondly, I also wanted to see if I could collect a single type of spiritual root.

Fortunately, the gathering technique did not disappoint Fang Qing.

Under Fang Qing's eager gaze, a familiar golden ball of light floated out from the golden corpse.

Fang Qing grabbed the ball of light and looked closely. Inside, he saw a fiery red cloud of vapor rising continuously.

Without a doubt, spiritual roots are "intangible" things, which can be repeatedly collected or a single attribute can be collected.

At this moment, Fang Qing actually wished he didn't have any spiritual roots.

Thus, he only needs to use one spiritual root to become a cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root that everyone envies.

Thinking of this, Fang Qing stood up, walked to the side, and continued to study the "Mysterious Gold Sword Technique".

……

Time flies like water, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the cave.

Fang Qing opened her eyes, a complex and indescribable expression on her face.

"Han Li, with his four spiritual roots and no prior cultivation experience, spent three months figuring out how to cultivate on his own before barely managing to grasp the basics of the [Eternal Spring Technique]."

"I have the memory experience of the Golden Light to guide me, but after more than half a month, I still haven't been able to sense any spiritual energy. If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably because I don't have a Golden Spiritual Root."

"Therefore, only wood, water, and earth remain uncertain."

Fang Qing muttered to himself.

The reason fire was excluded is that Fang Qing already possessed a fire-attribute cultivation technique.

The origin of this skill is quite convoluted and intriguing.

Four years ago, after Fang Qing awakened his cheat ability, he couldn't resist collecting and experimenting with it everywhere.

One day, he suddenly had an idea: what would happen if he used random collection on the sky?

He acts on his ideas.

And indeed, the collection was successful.

However, the cost is not low; the gathering technique will be unavailable for three years!

This was also the first time Fang Qing had learned that the Gathering Technique had a cooldown period.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Qing only came to find Jin Guang four years after awakening his innate wisdom.

At the same time, it also made Fang Qing dare not to arbitrarily collect things from the sky anymore.

As for the item he collected that time, it was the fire-attribute cultivation technique in his possession.

To be precise, it is a fire-yang attribute cultivation technique.

This skill is called the "Great Sun Divine Illumination Record," and it has fifteen levels, leading directly to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although the fire elemental root can be cultivated, it can only be fully unleashed when combined with an extremely yang body.

Having such a top-tier cultivation technique in hand, Fang Qing couldn't possibly not give it a try.

Unfortunately, he did not have a fire elemental root.

"Should we use the fire elemental root directly, or go to the Seven Mysteries Sect, obtain Han Li's Everlasting Spring Technique, and test our wood elemental root?"

At this moment, Fang Qing was in a state of great inner turmoil.

If he happens to have one or more of the three spiritual roots of "wood, water, and earth", it is equivalent to his spiritual root aptitude deteriorating once he uses the fire spiritual root.

Even with a cheat code, even a pseudo-spiritual root wouldn't necessarily be cut off from one's path to enlightenment.

However, the more mixed the spiritual roots, the more difficult it is to cultivate. Nothing beats the ease of cultivating with heavenly spiritual roots.

"Judging from the timeline, Doctor Mo passed away less than half a year ago, and Han Li is still very young. If he plans properly, he may have a chance to obtain the Everlasting Spring Technique."

"We might even be able to get our hands on some pills."

Fang Qing rubbed his chin, his thoughts racing.

A moment later, he clapped his hands and made a decision.

……

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

Seven Mysteries Gate, Divine Hand Valley.

On this fine day, Han Li lay on the armchair where Doctor Mo often sat, holding the Changchun Gong manual and watching with great interest.

suddenly,

"Clang—clang—" A deep bell sound came from outside the valley.

Han Li frowned, casually put the Everlasting Spring Skill into the cabinet behind him, and got up to head towards the valley entrance.

He established a rule that anyone seeking medical help could simply ring the bell.

When Han Li arrived at the valley entrance, he saw a senior disciple dressed in brocade robes pacing anxiously back and forth under the large bell, as restless as an ant on a hot pan.

Upon seeing Han Li, his expression lit up with joy, and he quickly approached him:

"Dr. Han, you've finally arrived! My master has suffered severe internal injuries and has been poisoned. The doctors in our sect are all helpless, and we are counting on you now."

Han Li's expression was solemn. Although he did not recognize the person in front of him, he could tell from the uniform that his master was no ordinary person, at least an elder.

Faced with a patient of this caliber, Han Li dared not be negligent and immediately asked him to lead the way before hurrying off.

Once Han Li and his companion had disappeared from sight, a cyan figure flashed past the valley entrance and disappeared into Divine Hand Valley at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.

"Plan is in place!"

The figure in cyan glanced in the direction Han Li had left, a smile on his face.

Qingying was none other than Fang Qing.

"It wasn't in vain that I guarded outside Luofeng Mountain for seven or eight days..."

"Han Li, no matter how cunning you are, you still have to drink my foot bath water."

Fang Qing couldn't help but look smug.

The person who was injured and poisoned was his doing, with the aim of luring Han Li out of Divine Hand Valley.
