Chapter 39: Chapter 38: A Few Things About Cultivation (Part 2)
Beside the stone platform.
Yan Shaohua turned his palm over and examined it several times.
After a few seconds, he turned his head to Wei Fan and asked:
"Patriarch Wei, according to the grading of the Damo Realm, what kind of qualifications do I have?"
At this moment, Wei Fan’s expression was somewhat peculiar; he really didn’t expect the first person to try would detect a spiritual root. He quickly said:
"Captain Yan, Elder Wang.
In the Damo Realm, the spiritual roots of cultivators are mainly divided into five categories: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. In addition, there are variant spiritual roots like thunder and ice.
In terms of qualifications,
single spiritual root is the best, double spiritual root is second, and five spiritual roots are the worst.
To be able to cultivate normally, one’s qualifications must be at least above four spiritual roots.
Captain Yan detected gold, which represents the metal attribute, red represents the fire attribute, and another green ray represents the wood attribute.
Among them, gold and red are the most prominent, while green is relatively faint.
So, by the definition, Captain Yan’s qualification is three spiritual roots, but if further subdivided, Captain Yan’s qualification ranks in the upper-middle tier among three roots."
Yan Shaohua looked at him incredulously:
"Does this mean I can cultivate immortality?"
Heavens.
This has been the dream of countless ancestors of Huaxia, and it has fallen right onto Old Yan’s head?
Master Wang was equally excited.
This is the first local non-transmigrator to detect a spiritual root!
In terms of significance, this represents that Huaxia, this ancient Eastern nation, is truly starting to touch on the possibility of transcending life levels!
Taking a deep breath, Master Wang continued to ask:
"Patriarch Wei, what types of spiritual roots did Wei Siming and the other transmigrators detect at the time?"
Mentioning his family’s ancestor, Wei Fan’s face suddenly showed a trace of pride:
"Si Ming Ancestor’s qualification was earth-fire double spiritual root, the Chen Family Ancestor’s qualification was three roots, and the other two were four roots.
The other founders were all five roots, only able to reach the first three layers of Qi Cultivation in their lifetime.
Si Ming Ancestor’s qualification would be considered among the top for double roots. If it weren’t for the gradual thinning of spiritual energy, Si Ming Ancestor could have at least cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm.
"Nascent Soul Realm, huh?"
Master Wang’s pupils slightly contracted, he coughed lightly and said, "Patriarch Wei, generally speaking, what is the probability of cultivators appearing among ordinary people?"
Wei Fan thought for a moment:
"In the Damo Realm, the occurrence rate of four roots and above isn’t actually low, roughly close to twenty percent.
But not all of this twenty percent can become cultivators—due to the beast tides and the restriction of spiritual energy dispersion, the cultivation resources of the entire Damo Realm are depleting rapidly.
Without sufficient resources, many ordinary people who detect four roots simply cannot cultivate.
For our Wei Family members with four roots, it’s a bit easier. They can at least cultivate to the fourth or fifth layer of Qi Cultivation, go out as managers, and oversee a few industries, for instance.
But four roots from civilian households...
Either sell themselves or marry into wealthy families to gain resources, or go bankrupt supporting themselves to enter the immortal path and become loose cultivators, or they simply... waste the qualification.
In particularly harsh years, even three roots and sometimes double roots might have to be reluctantly abandoned."
Master Wang raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Really, even double root qualification could be abandoned?"
Wei Fan gave a bitter smile, showing a trace of helplessness on his face:
"Under the current grand trend of heaven and earth, merely cultivating to the perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage is considered impressive for ordinary double-root cultivators, the possibility of breaking through to Core Formation is very low.
You might not understand, the higher the spiritual root qualification, the more resources are needed for cultivation.
If a family has a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator preparing for a breakthrough, and at the same time happens to have a double root emerge within the family.
In situations where family resources can only support one person, it isn’t impossible for the family to abandon the double root.
After all, the growth of a strong individual... takes time."
Master Wang’s expression remained serene, but internally he began to calculate secretly.
According to Wei Fan’s statements.
The probability of four roots and above appearing is twenty percent, which is about 20%.
And Wei Siming mentioned a detail in the letter he left behind:
Among twenty-eight transmigrators, nine died initially, and among the remaining nineteen, four were cultivators.
If there are no surprises, the birth rate of spiritual roots in the Damo Realm also applies to Huaxia itself.
And Huaxia has over three million elite soldiers, calculated at a 20% probability.....
That would be six hundred thousand cultivators!
Even if the probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment Stage is only one-sixty, that’s still one thousand human-shaped walking missiles, right?!
Not to mention that Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly!
If someone messes with us, like dumping something at our doorstep.
Oh, haha...
A thousand flying swords appear instantly, each person carrying an RPG, and they arrive at your doorstep to peel apples in minutes!
Ssss.
Master Wang wiped the corner of his mouth, pulling himself back to reality from his fantasy.
To get a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators to peel apples, aside from awakening spiritual roots.
There’s also the matter of resources mentioned by Wei Fan.
Without cultivation resources, it’s all empty talk.
Thinking of this, Master Wang’s gaze became sharper.
The cultivation resources of the Damo Realm, the rabbits must have them!
Taking a deep breath again, Master Wang asked Wei Fan:
"Patriarch Wei, I’ve basically understood the concept of awakening now, can you tell me about cultivation resources?"
Wei Fan had already prepared drafts in his mind during the meeting, so his answer was very fluent:
"No problem.
Cultivation resources are generally divided into two types.
One is man-made resources, the other is natural resources.
The so-called man-made resources refer to commodities created by cultivators like artifacts, cultivation techniques, talismans, and ammunition.
Natural resources refer to various veins including spirit stones and fine iron, various spirit medicines, and monsters.
Simultaneously, various professions like alchemists, artifact refiners, field masters, and plant spirit masters have derived from these resources in the Damo Realm.
Take our Wei Family, for example.
Our Wei Family owns a spirit field left by Si Ming Ancestor, which has a small amount of spirit medicine planted, plus a family alchemist.
In addition, there are several apprentice artifact refiners, a few talisman apprentices, and three teams of spirit fish catchers.
All these constitute the resource supply chain of our Wei Family, but every year the resources are still in short supply."
Master Wang listened quietly, about to say something.
Director Hua suddenly tugged at his sleeve, gently leaned close, and whispered a few words.
A glint of wisdom flashed in Master Wang’s eyes, after pondering for a moment, he turned to Wei Fan and said:
"Patriarch Wei, our colleagues from the Ministry of Commerce have already come up with a preliminary plan for the exchange rate of spirit stones to Huaxia currency, shall we move on to discuss it?
Also..."
Master Wang glanced at the Spiritual Origin Ball in the stone platform:
"We have selected a group of warriors hoping to undergo spiritual root detection, but due to the large number of warriors, it is inconvenient for them to enter the Wei Mansion.
Could you arrange for someone to bring the Spiritual Origin Ball to the city wall and assist in detecting spiritual roots?
For each detection, we’ll pay you one hundred yuan."
