After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

The purple lightning whip trembled slightly, emitting a crisp buzzing sound.

immediately--

It transformed into a streak of purple-gold light and disappeared into Lin Fengmian's dantian!

Lin Fengmian internally focused his gaze on his dantian.

The purple lightning whip was quietly suspended in the center of his dantian, echoing the five flying swords.

The lightning on the whip flowed slowly, intertwining with the sword energy in the dantian, forming a strange scene.

"It's done."

Lin Fengmian's lips curled into a smile.

With this rare spiritual treasure in hand, his confidence increased even more.

Although with his current cultivation level, he cannot unleash the full power of the Purple Lightning Whip, it is more than enough to deal with cultivators of the same level.

even--

He was confident he could fight even cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage or the Pseudo-Core stage!

"My dear wife, wait for me."

Lin Fengmian stood up, a resolute glint in his eyes.

-

The next two months.

Lin Fengmian cultivated as if he were insane.

He worked almost non-stop, spending all his time cultivating, except for his daily routine of "checking on" Li Bao with his divine sense chains.

He picked the spiritual herbs from the jade pendant space one by one and put them directly into his mouth.

Purple-leaved Ganoderma lucidum.

A century-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum).

Ambergris.

Seven-star flower.

Those rare and precious medicinal herbs, seldom seen in the outside world, were now being stuffed into his mouth like snacks, without any regard for the cost.

The medicinal power exploded within the body, transforming into pure spiritual energy that surged into the dantian.

however--

No matter how many spiritual medicines he swallowed, his dantian was like a bottomless pit, accepting everything but never being able to be filled.

Lin Fengmian finally experienced firsthand how terrifying the Five Elemental Roots were.

Ordinary cultivators only need to absorb one type of spiritual energy to cultivate, which naturally makes their cultivation more efficient.

And he-

Five spiritual roots require the absorption of five different spiritual energies simultaneously.

Although his total spiritual power is several times that of cultivators of the same level, the speed at which he needs to cultivate is also several times that of cultivators of the same level.

even more.

"This is too slow..."

Lin Fengmian frowned as he watched the slowly increasing magical power in his dantian.

At this rate, let alone forming the Core Formation, it would take several years or even more than ten years to break through from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late stage.

He can't wait.

Just when he was extremely anxious, the daily spiritual chain "care" finally took effect.

Unable to endure the repeated torment any longer, Li Bao finally relented and revealed a secret technique.

"Young friend, I have a secret technique that might solve your problem..."

Li Bao's voice was so weak it seemed as if it might dissipate at any moment, and the spiritual light in his remnant soul had dimmed to the point of being almost invisible.

The torment he endured for the past two months made him realize that this young man in front of him was truly not going to show him any mercy.

Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow: "Speak."

Li Bao quickly said, "This secret technique is called the 'Spirit Sealing and Root Locking Technique,' which can temporarily seal off other spiritual roots, allowing you to focus on cultivating only one spiritual root."

"Once this spiritual root has been cultivated to a certain level, the other spiritual roots will be unlocked one by one and cultivated in sequence."

"Although this will prevent the advantages of the five spiritual roots from being fully utilized in the early stages, it will greatly increase the cultivation speed."

Lin Fengmian's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Isn't this just like the "skill reset" in those games from my past life?

First, allocate all points to one attribute, and then redistribute them later.

Although some flexibility will be lost in the early stages, the cultivation speed can be several times faster!

"Go on."

Seeing that he did not refuse, Li Bao quickly continued:

"This secret technique has another advantage—the sealed spiritual root does not truly disappear; it is merely temporarily unable to absorb the corresponding spiritual energy. When it is unlocked in the future, it will not have any impact on the foundation."

"Furthermore, you are free to choose which spiritual root to keep."

Lin Fengmian pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Lightning Spirit Root".

He did not hesitate.

The reason is simple—Li Bao has the Thunder Spirit Root.

Although this old man is now down on his luck, he was once a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Spirit Realm.

Most of the techniques and supernatural abilities he possesses are of the lightning attribute.

As long as one cultivates the Thunder Spirit Root, one can directly learn his techniques, and one's combat power will naturally increase rapidly.

"Okay." Li Bao quickly taught Lin Fengmian the complete method of "Sealing Spirit and Locking Roots Technique".

Lin Fengmian circulated his spiritual power according to the method, using his divine sense as a blade to construct a series of sealing restrictions within his body.

The other four spiritual roots—

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire —

They were blocked one by one.

Only the Thunder Spirit Root remained, shining brightly in his dantian like a drawn sword.

The moment the seal was completed, Lin Fengmian felt the speed of the spiritual energy circulation within his body suddenly increase several times!

The feeling was like a river that had been blocked for a long time suddenly being dredged, with water flowing freely and unimpeded!

"good!"

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed and immediately began cultivating frantically.

He studied all the lightning-attribute cultivation techniques that Li Bao had contributed, and combined them with the remaining spiritual herbs in the jade pendant space, he cultivated day and night without stopping.

During the day, he sits cross-legged under a willow tree, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

At night, he studied the techniques and practiced his supernatural powers.

When hungry, swallow a few medicinal herbs.

When I get sleepy, I use my spiritual power to keep going.

The little earth spirit felt heartbroken seeing its master working so hard, but dared not disturb him. It simply picked the spiritual herbs from the spiritual field one by one and placed them beside him.

Li Bao was even more terrified by Lin Fengmian's madness.

In all his years of life, he had never seen such a reckless cultivator.

That desire to become stronger was like a flame burning from the very core of their being, so intense that it was almost unbearable to look directly at them.

Time flies.

The flow of time within the jade pendant's space differs from that outside.

Two months in the outside world, but more than a year has passed in the jade pendant space.

This day.

Lin Fengmian sat cross-legged under the willow tree, surrounded by lightning. Purple-gold arcs of electricity danced on his body, making crackling sounds.

His aura was rising at an astonishing rate.

Peak of early Foundation Establishment stage —

Mid-stage Foundation Building

boom!

A deep, rumbling sound emanated from his body!

The surrounding spiritual energy suddenly surged and rushed into his dantian!

Lightning exploded, and arcs of electricity shot out, turning the entire willow tree a purplish-gold color!

a long time.

Lin Fengmian opened his eyes, a flash of purple-gold lightning in them.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

Do not--

To be precise, it's the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

In just over a year of frantic cultivation, his cultivation level broke through from the early stage of Foundation Establishment all the way to the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

"call--"

Lin Fengmian let out a long breath and clenched his fist.

The surging spiritual power within his body was several times stronger than when he was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The spiritual energy surged through his meridians like a mighty river, flowing endlessly.

The advantages of having five spiritual roots finally became apparent at this moment.

Although his cultivation speed is slow, his total spiritual power is several times that of other cultivators of the same level every time he breaks through a realm!
