Chapter 229 Tianyu's Guidance

"Sure enough, it is a spiritual root that was cultivated after birth, a method used by the Saint Clan."

After getting Chu Lingyu's approval, Tianyu extended his spiritual sense to check her spiritual roots and soon came to a conclusion.

"Can spiritual roots be cultivated later in life?"

For the people present, the impact of this was no less than that of the seven attributes of the spiritual roots, and they all looked at Tianyu.

Even Long Jia looked curious.

He is not a human being and does not have spiritual roots, so he does not have a deep understanding of human spiritual roots, and what he knows is not much different from Fang Chen and the others.

"Do you know what spiritual roots are?"

Everyone at the scene shook their heads.

Tianyu looked at the people around him and sighed.

But it's normal. Only by ascending to become an immortal can one understand the essence of spiritual roots. And these people in front of him are not even beginners, so it's normal that they don't understand.

Anyway, there is no time to waste, so he explained to them: "For the creatures in the world to give birth to offspring, the yin and yang must combine. When the yin and yang combine, a wisp of innate energy will be produced. The so-called spiritual root is transformed from this wisp of innate energy.

“However, after a living being is born, its innate energy will be polluted. Due to the different degrees of pollution, the spiritual roots will be divided into high and low levels.

"Innate Qi is the key to the birth of spiritual roots. As long as you get the innate Qi, it is not difficult to cultivate spiritual roots. The Saint Clan is a big family with a great business, so it is not surprising that they have the means to obtain innate Qi."

"Senior, I was also born from the union of yin and yang, why don't I have spiritual roots?"

Long Jia raised another question, and this question was not just asked to himself.

Except for humans, most living creatures in this world are born from the combination of yin and yang, so why do only humans have spiritual roots?
What about other animals?
Fang Chen was also very curious about this. Compared to other people, he knew that many plants also had male and female pollination. Was this considered a combination of yin and yang?
If that counts, why doesn't this plant have spiritual roots?
"Of course they also have this innate energy, but it has not been transformed into spiritual roots, but something similar to spiritual roots. You should be very clear about this, Long Jia."

Tianyu looked at Longjia with a look that said, "You know what I mean."

Hearing him say this, Long Jia lowered his head to think, and after a moment he suddenly raised his head: "Senior, are you saying that our innate energy has been transformed into spiritual wisdom?"

"That's right. The function of the innate energy is to make up for shortcomings. Humans are born with spiritual intelligence, but they have no affinity for spiritual energy, so the innate energy turns into spiritual roots. Other creatures have a much stronger affinity for spiritual energy than humans, but they are born without spiritual intelligence, so the innate energy will enhance spiritual intelligence."

Tianyu nodded and explained the mechanism of innate qi in detail.

"The affinity of other creatures to spiritual energy is much stronger than that of humans? That's not right. Everyone in the world has spiritual roots, but most animals and plants will explode and die quickly after coming into contact with spiritual energy."

Fang Chen immediately objected.

Not to mention plants for now, Yuehua Fairy City raises a lot of livestock, hoping to train them into spiritual beasts, but most of these livestock explode and die after absorbing the spiritual energy.

Where does the spiritual affinity come from?
"Of course. Their affinity with spiritual energy is stronger than that of humans, but they have no intelligence and cannot control the spiritual energy they absorb into their bodies. Naturally, they will explode and die. Even if a human with spiritual roots absorbs spiritual energy and does not actively convert it into mana, this will happen."

Tianyu also gave an explanation for this.

Fang Chen didn't say anything else. He couldn't find any fault with this paragraph.

When he guides mortals onto the path to immortality, the first step is to use spiritual fruits or spiritual grains to allow them to absorb spiritual energy. Then he will teach them how to practice and transform the spiritual energy into magic power.

Otherwise, it would be just as Tianyu said, these mortals would explode and die after absorbing the spiritual energy.

"Wait, if you want to cultivate a mortal beast into a spiritual beast, after feeding it spiritual materials, you also need to help it transform its spiritual energy?"

After hearing what Tianyu said, Fang Chen immediately realized the correct way to cultivate spirit beasts.

The previous attempts at Yuehua Fairy City had always failed because they lacked the crucial second step. "Huh? Why are you all standing here? Are you welcoming me?"

Just when Fang Chen was thinking about when to put this method into practice, a familiar voice broke the silence at the scene.

Everyone was attracted by the voice and turned to look, and it was Lin Qingshan who came.

"Dragon Armor—Senior!"

Thanks to this, Lin Qingshan also saw clearly the dragon armor that was originally facing away from him, and immediately exclaimed.

However, he reacted quickly and realized that since Fang Chen invited Long Jia to Taiji Immortal City, it meant that the other party could be trusted, so he quickly added a respectful title at the end.

"City Lord, what's the matter with you?"

Lin Qingshan also knew how to assess the situation. Seeing so many people standing here, and all surrounding Tianyu, a stranger, he immediately sent a telepathic message to ask Fang Chen.

"Now that Deputy City Lord Lin is here, let's not just stand here. Lingyu, let the immortal soldiers patrol or train downstairs first. You, Lingyu, and Dingtian will come with us to have a meeting."

The matter of spiritual roots is easy to talk about, it can be considered as popular science, but Chu Lingyu's situation is related to the plan of the Demon Cultivator Alliance, the fewer people who know about it, the better, it is not convenient to talk about it in public.

It just so happened that Lin Qingshan was here too, so he could find an excuse to ask Tianyu to move away.

"Yes, City Lord."

Chu Lingyu received the order, then turned around and said to the female immortal soldier behind him: "Han Xue!"

"To!"

"Lead the team in daily training!"

"Yes!"

After the two of them completed the handover, Han Xue led the immortal soldiers away for training.

Fang Chen and his companions were the only ones left on the platform. He turned to look at Xu Qiyun and asked, "Is there a place to discuss matters in Taiji Immortal City?"

"Of course there is. City Lord and two other seniors, please follow me."

Xu Qiyun nodded. He knew Long Jia, but had never seen Tian Yu. Since Long Jia and Fang Chen both called Tian Yu "senior", he had to be consistent.

A group of ten people, led by Xu Qiyun, stopped in front of a cave, or to be more precise, a cave dwelling.

As mentioned before, many buildings in Taiji Fairy City are built on the mountains, and cave dwellings are naturally among them.

"This cave is not simple."

Stopping at the entrance of the cave, Tianyu looked around and came up with an idea in his mind.

He had already seen through the mystery of this cave, but out of politeness, he did not explore it further.

However, when Lin Qingshan heard Tianyu's praise, he immediately became excited and said, "Of course, this is my latest masterpiece. It perfectly integrates the immortal residence with the mountains and rivers, and then turns the entire mountain forest into the core of the protective formation. Even if there are no foundation-building cultivators in Taiji Immortal City now, it can easily defend against cultivators who have completed their foundation-building."

"There is generally no problem, but this protective formation also leaves a loophole here. If the enemy finds out, I'm afraid they can easily break through."

Tianyu looked at Lin Qingshan with a smile and gave his own evaluation.

　I have a lot to do today, so I will probably only update twice, each chapter will be 2,000 words.
