Chapter 53: The Rotation of the Five Elements

"Then you have to tell me what this so-called wood gold essence is used for?"

Having not been with Guitou for a long time, Xiao Mian already knows the principle of asking for a higher price, which makes Guitou quite angry.

"You..., hum! Listen carefully, kid! This wood gold essence is precious, but it is useless if you don't have it - it has only one function, which is to make up for the lack of innate spiritual roots. And because this wood gold essence is of gold attribute, it can only make up for gold spiritual roots. For cultivators who lack gold spiritual roots, it is a natural treasure, but it is useless for spiritual roots with other attributes."

After listening to Guitou's explanation, Xiao Mian was silent for a while, and then compared Li Mudao's words and the mutation of the Firelight Beast. It is obvious that the Firelight Beast caused its own mutation because it completed the gold spiritual roots, which led to the current cocooning advancement.

But he has all five elements of spiritual roots, so it seems that he can't use this wood gold essence.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian raised the porcelain bottle and wanted to drink a sip of wood gold essence to soothe his stomach first.

Guitou was horrified and hurried to stop him.

"You are starving! Why do you eat everything?"

"Didn't you say this thing is useless?"

"No...useless? Did I say that? Okay! Even if I said it, I'm wrong, right? This thing is very useful to you!" Seeing Xiao Mian's face full of disbelief, Guitou had to tell the truth: "If there is only this kind of wood gold essence, the value is naturally greatly discounted, but if you can find this kind of spiritual material belonging to the five elements, I can help you set up a five-element rotation array to replenish your five-element spiritual roots."

"Replenish the five-element spiritual roots? What do you mean?"

"Huh..." Seeing that Xiao Mian's mouth finally left the mouth of the porcelain bottle, Guitou breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: What the hell am I worrying about? But he still explained: "Five elements spiritual roots belong to the five elements. Ordinary practitioners are divided into qualifications by spiritual roots. The best ones are single-attribute heavenly spiritual roots; followed by earthly spiritual roots, human spiritual roots, and mixed spiritual roots. You should already know these. If you have no five elements spiritual roots or have all five elements spiritual roots, it is generally considered unsuitable for cultivation - but there is an exception! That is, the five elements spiritual roots are evenly distributed, with no difference between the best and the worst!"

"What's the use?"

"What's the use? Humph! A frog in the well! The five elements spiritual roots are evenly distributed, which means that the five elements rotating body can absorb the spiritual energy and energy belonging to the five elements at the same time for its own use. In theory, the cultivation speed of such people will be five times that of heavenly spiritual roots!"

"According to what you said, isn't the cultivation speed of earthly spiritual roots also twice that of heavenly spiritual roots?"

"How can it be that simple? The reason why heavenly spiritual roots are called heavenly spiritual roots is that they only have spiritual roots of one attribute, which can absorb the spiritual energy and energy of the five elements without distraction. The earth spirit root absorbs the spiritual energy of a single attribute without worrying about the impurity of the attribute; the earth spirit root absorbs the spiritual energy of two attributes at the same time, so there is a problem of complexity, which needs to be carefully separated; as for the human spirit root and the mixed spirit root, this problem is even more serious; therefore, for the general five elements of the spirit root, there is no future for cultivation, except for the five elements rotating body! "

"Five elements rotating body?"

"Yes! If you can achieve the five elements rotating body, plus the three pure return body, if the opportunity is coincidental, it is not impossible to point directly to the avenue."

"Point directly to the avenue? How easy is it! Let's think about how to survive first! Besides, I got this wood gold essence by chance, how do I know where to find the other four spiritual materials?" After saying that, Xiao Mian looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand and drank a big sip. He ignored the ghost head's scolding after being stunned. Xiao Mian was content to taste the sweet pleasure after extreme hunger. Guitou was not stupid. After a few curses, he noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice: "You kid, do you have a lot of wood gold essence?"

"So what? As a soul, you can't use it!"

"Do you really have it?"

Xiao Mian was too lazy to talk. He turned around and threw a porcelain bottle full of wood gold essence to Guitou. Anyway, there were a lot of this stuff in his storage bag - Yuanxu gave Xiao Mian a lot of elixirs at the beginning, and he carefully preserved the remaining porcelain bottles. That day, he used them to store unknown gold liquid, that is, wood gold essence.

Although Guitou was a soul, he could condense it as it was. After holding the porcelain bottle, he pulled out the cork in a daze, and suddenly a sweet fragrance wafted out, but Guitou couldn't smell it.

After confirming that what he had in his hand was indeed wood gold essence, Guitou looked depressed. Just as Xiao Mian said, as a soul, he couldn't smell or drink it, so it was useless to have this wood gold essence!

After shaking his head, he returned it to Xiao Mian, and then ignored Xiao Mian's extravagant wasteful behavior, and slipped back to Xiao Mian's Qihai acupoint without any movement.

As drops of wood gold essence flowed into Xiao Mian's body, Xiao Mian's body quickly recovered its energy. While the hunger subsided, Xiao Mian even felt that the wood gold essence seemed to nourish the injured meridians in his left hand. This discovery made him overjoyed. If the wood gold essence can really alleviate the damage caused by the operation of the elixir, it would undoubtedly be the greatest blessing for Xiao Mian now. After all, no one would seek trouble for no reason.

Why not practice the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" with less pain?

After a rest, Xiao Mian practiced the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" again.

However, this time, Xiao Mian deliberately held a large mouthful of wood gold essence in his mouth, and when the poison was circulated through the meridians, he separated a trace of wood gold essence and transferred it to the meridians of his left hand.

Although this wood gold essence is a gold-attributed spiritual material, it is produced by wood-attributed spiritual plants and inherently contains the biochemical properties of wood. It is this biochemical property that nourishes Xiao Mian's injured meridians and relieves his pain.

However, this wood gold essence is a gold-attributed spiritual material after all. Xiao Mian only focused on absorbing the spiritual energy of the wood attribute, but ignored the spiritual energy of the gold attribute. By the time Xiao Mian noticed it, the power of the gold attribute had become so huge that it was almost out of control.

"Hmph! Brat! You are so smart!"

The ghost head hiding in the Qihai acupoint always paid attention to the cultivation situation inside Xiao Mian's left hand. He knew from the beginning that Xiao Mian's wishful thinking would lead to this outcome, but he did not remind him. He wanted to teach Xiao Mian a lesson so that the boy would not always take himself seriously.

The metal element has the characteristic of killing. The damage caused to Xiao Mian's meridians by a large group of abandoned metal energy is almost comparable to the harm of the poison. Fortunately, Xiao Mian tried to do two things at the same time, so that he could suppress the metal energy as much as possible while ensuring the continuation of the poison. However, this is not a long-term solution. If he is not careful, whether it is the runaway of the metal element or the spread of the poison, Xiao Mian will be severely injured. At this time, Guitou was waiting for Xiao Mian to ask him for help.

Xiao Mian also thought about asking Guitou for help. After all, in the face of injury or even serious injury, there is no need to save face. But just before he asked for help, an idea flashed through Xiao Mian's mind, and Xiao Mian decided to take a risk.
