Chapter 16 – Spiritual Root has upgraded
**Thousand Trials and Tribulations (A-Rank):** Just as jade must be carved to become a vessel, a person must be honed to become talented. Only through enough trials can one become truly strong... Often encountering difficulties and life-threatening crises, but crisis and opportunity coexist. As long as you overcome the crisis, you can gain equivalent benefits. (Cannot be copied!)
**Survival Against All Odds (A-Rank):** Favored by the heavens, always able to turn danger into safety and find life in desperate situations! (Cannot be copied!)
**Formation Basics (C-Rank):** Has a certain talent for formations, can easily get started, quickly learn formations, and skillfully use them. (Cannot be copied!)
**Low-Grade Spiritual Root (D-Rank):** Barely possesses cultivation talent, but not much, destined to be a servant disciple for life! (Can be copied!)
"I can still only copy D-Rank talents!"
"Wait, can I actually copy a Low-Grade Spiritual Root?"
Qin Yu's spirit lifted.
"What happens if a person has two Low-Grade Spiritual Roots? Will the cultivation speed double?"
Without hesitation, Qin Yu chose to copy the "Low-Grade Spiritual Root" again!
**Copy Successful!**
Qin Yu immediately opened the personal panel of the system.
**Name: Qin Yu**
**Talent: Mid-Grade Spiritual Root (C-Rank)**
**Progress: 0% (Note: When progress reaches 100%, you will gain a chance to copy a talent!)**
"My spiritual root has actually become a Mid-Grade Spiritual Root, two Low-Grade Spiritual Roots can actually merge into one Mid-Grade Spiritual Root!"
Qin Yu was overjoyed, as if he had discovered a new use for the system.
"Then can two Mid-Grade Spiritual Roots also combine into a High-Grade Spiritual Root?"
"In other words, I just need to gain two more chances to copy talents to have a High-Grade Spiritual Root."
"After having a High-Grade Spiritual Root, gaining four more chances to copy talents will give me a Supreme Spiritual Root."
"From no spiritual root to a Supreme Spiritual Root, I only need eight copying opportunities."
"If I get a chance to copy every time I break through a level, I only need to reach Qi Refinement Stage Seven to have a Supreme Spiritual Root."
Only then did Qin Yu realize he had underestimated the system before.
The system is truly amazing.
"You go rest first, I'll head out!"
Qin Yu said to Li Zhengtong, easily climbed over the wall, and returned to his room.
He couldn't wait to try out what it felt like to have a "Mid-Grade Spiritual Root."
Li Zhengtong scratched the back of his head, "He tells me to come over, then tells me to go back, what's Yu Ge up to?"
"Wait a minute!" Li Zhengtong suddenly widened his eyes, "Yu Ge just flipped over the wall in one go?"
"When did Yu Ge become so awesome?"
"No, Yu Ge has always been this awesome!"
......
Qin Yu returned to his room, activated the formation in the room, and hurriedly sat cross-legged.
Soon, a large amount of spiritual energy surged into Qin Yu's body, rapidly circulating through his meridians, completing one complete cycle in no time.
The smooth cultivation made Qin Yu extremely comfortable, and he quickly entered a state of selfless cultivation.
The night was quiet, with occasional chirping of insects, particularly serene!
The tranquil moonlight streamed through the doors and windows, casting on the young man's handsome face, like a masterpiece of art.
Time ticked by second by second!
Until the sect's bell rang, Qin Yu reluctantly exited his cultivation state.
He noticed that the flow of spiritual energy in his meridians had grown stronger.
Qin Yu was very excited.
"My cultivation speed is at least three times faster than before!"
With anticipation, Qin Yu opened the personal panel of the system.
Seeing the progress bar, Qin Yu suddenly felt a bit disappointed.
After cultivating all night, the progress only reached three percent?
If Qin Yu only had a Low-Grade Spiritual Root, it would only increase by one percent overnight.
The difficulty of cultivating to Qi Refinement Stage Two is five times that of Stage One!
"Cultivation is indeed not that simple, luckily I already have a Mid-Grade Spiritual Root, otherwise the next breakthrough would be far off!"
Feeling a bit hungry, Qin Yu took out a Fasting Pill and swallowed it.
"It feels like my mouth is dry!"
Qin Yu smacked his lips, initially finding the Fasting Pill convenient, but after relying on it for a week, he was starting to feel overwhelmed.
He felt like his stomach was about to degenerate.
In the small town, Qin Yu could still catch some fish, rabbits, and pheasants to improve his meals, but unexpectedly, life in the cultivation sect was less comfortable than before.
"I need to find a way to improve this!"
Qin Yu felt he had a lot to do!
After tidying his clothes, Qin Yu called Li Zhengtong to go to Maple Leaf Plaza together.
"Yu Ge!" Li Zhengtong asked, "Don't you need to clean your own plaza?"
These days, Li Zhengtong was so busy he had no time to find Qin Yu.
So he didn't know that Qin Yu's Bright Moon Plaza already had a "Under Construction" sign.
Qin Yu casually lied, "Whether I clean it or not doesn't matter, let's finish yours first."
"Yu Ge, you're so nice!"
"If I were a girl, I'd definitely repay you with my body!"
Qin Yu: "Do you believe I'll hit you?"
......
Arriving at Maple Leaf Plaza, Li Zhengtong handed a long wooden stick to Qin Yu.
"Yu Ge, you knock the leaves, I'll sweep the ground."
In Li Zhengtong's view, sweeping was more tiring than knocking leaves.
"Using a stick is too troublesome!"
Qin Yu threw away the stick and directly walked to a maple tree.
The maple tree was about as thick as an adult's thigh, and Qin Yu hugged the trunk, channeling spiritual energy to shake it vigorously.
Rustle!
The maple leaves fell like a rainstorm, and in no time, a tree full of red leaves was half bald.
Only a few scattered leaves still stubbornly clung to the tree tips.
Qin Yu didn't intend to leave these leaves either.
He wanted a once-and-for-all solution, to root out the problem!
Qin Yu handed the stick back to Li Zhengtong.
"Stop dazing, knock down all the remaining leaves!"
"Oh... okay!" Li Zhengtong immediately got busy.
Li Zhengtong: "Yu Ge, how are you so strong, how do you do it?"
Qin Yu: "Work, don't ask what you shouldn't."
Li Zhengtong: "Yu Ge, please teach me, how can I become as strong as you?"
Qin Yu: "Work hard on your cultivation!"
......
With the two working together, all the maple trees turned bald.
In just a few minutes, it went from early autumn to deep winter.
Once the trees were dealt with, they just needed to sweep up all the fallen leaves on the ground.
"You keep sweeping, the beasts from Beast-Taming Peak should be coming soon, I'll go hide for a bit."
"Okay!"
Li Zhengtong didn't think much of it, picking up the broom to start sweeping.
Qin Yu wandered around the area, looking for any wild chickens or rabbits to improve his meals.
Soon, Qin Yu discovered a small wild river, and there were no signs prohibiting fishing around it.
"Where there's water, there are fish, I can come and catch some fish tonight to improve my life."
Qin Yu rubbed his hands together, feeling eager.
In his previous life, he was an avid fisherman with rich fishing experience.
As long as there were fish in this river, he would never return empty-handed.
"After finishing the work, I'll go to the marketplace to buy a fishhook, dig some worms, and come try it out!"
In Xuantian Sect, there was a marketplace where disciples traded with each other.
Some disciples sold elixirs they refined, spiritual herbs they dug up, or unused spiritual tools there.
In addition, many disciples sold daily necessities, various snacks, and so on.
Currency could be the sect's contribution points, or the Cultivation World's common spirit stones, or Liang Kingdom's copper coins, gold, and silver, etc.
As long as it was valuable, it could be traded there.
