Chapter 267: Chapter 250 Autumn Gathering
The Five Elements Spiritual Root represents Lin Jing’s Spiritual Root, incorporating the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Born with the Five Elements, one’s fate is sealed for life.
The subsequent Medium Grade, then, is an assessment of the Spiritual Root’s talent.
The most direct manifestation of this is in spiritual energy perception and cultivation speed.
Normally, under ordinary circumstances,
the more diverse and numerous the attributes combined in a Spiritual Root, the poorer its quality becomes.
Just as it was for Lin Jing before.
Conversely, the fewer the attributes a Spiritual Root combines, the better its talent.
The best, of course, are the single-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Roots.
Such cultivators are naturally inclined to cultivate a single attribute and their cultivation speed is considerably faster than that of other cultivators.
Additionally, because of their Spiritual Root’s nature, they are more attuned to the spiritual power of a single attribute.
Cultivating such techniques becomes much easier for them.
Of course, cultivators with single-attribute Spiritual Roots are extremely rare.
It’s possible to encounter just one such individual among hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
They are exceptionally rare genius-type cultivators.
On the other hand, Lin Jing, who possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Root, naturally belongs to the worst kind.
Yet, Lin Jing managed to elevate his talent to Medium Grade with the aid of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid.
Although he still has the Five Elements Spiritual Root, it’s already much better than before.
The Cleansing Spirit Liquid is indeed a rare and precious natural treasure.
Lin Jing couldn’t help but think of the disaster that occurred in the land of spiritual cleansing.
“Could it be that the priest of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan attacked them because of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid?”
Soon after, Lin Jing dismissed this thought.
Since the Cleansing Spirit Liquid couldn’t be taken away, attacking them would be futile.
Truth be told, those who entered the realm of spiritual cleansing were important disciples from the three great Sects and from various families.
The likelihood that the Demon Cultivator Priest controlled the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants for revenge seemed more credible.
If that were the case, then it’s possible that the Cleansing Spirit Liquid was seized from this Demon Cultivator Priest.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Jing, and knowing the truth wouldn’t be of any use.
……
Sometime later,
Lin Jing gathered his thoughts, stood up, and left the System Space.
After exiting the System Space, Lin Jing left his room, ventured into the yard, and stretched out lazily.
He took a deep breath.
Lin Jing felt that the Spiritual Energy inside Immortal City seemed much denser now.
Previously, limited by his Spiritual Root, the Spiritual Energy he could sense was not so dense and even somewhat thin.
Now, after the enhancement of his Spiritual Root’s talent, his perception was completely different from before.
This is the benefit of having an increased Spiritual Root talent.
This uplifted Lin Jing’s spirits tremendously.
It was nearing October at this time.
The afternoon sunlight wasn’t blinding.
The weather was no longer as sweltering as summer, and a gentle breeze was blowing, stirring the yellowing leaves and bringing a hint of cool autumn air.
Every deep autumn season, for some reason…
It always seems to evoke memories of hard-to-part waysides, making one unable to resist reminiscing…
Lin Jing looked up at the yellowing plane tree in the courtyard, his thoughts drifting far away as if returning to times past…
…
…
At that moment,
a series of knocks sounded on the door.
This knocking brought Lin Jing back from his complex reverie. After regaining his senses, he got up and walked towards the entrance.
Today,
who could the visitor be at the door?
Approaching the door, Lin Jing reached out and opened it.
Standing outside at this moment was Li Tangyu.
He was dressed in a snow-white robe with a straight collar, standing serenely with a gentle smile on his face.
“Brother Lin, sorry to disturb you…”
Li Tangyu began, his voice as amiable as ever.
This had always been his manner since Lin Jing knew him.
Describing him as ‘gentle and refined’ couldn’t be more fitting.
“Brother Li, it’s been a while,” Lin Jing greeted.
“Please, come in…”
With that, Lin Jing invited Li Tangyu into the yard.
Upon seeing the plane tree in the yard, Li Tangyu looked up and paused for a moment. After a short while, he said,
