There’s nothing interesting in the mall, so I can only try refreshing it once.
Spending 10 Reputation Points, Lu Ping initiated a refresh of the mall.
The mall interface started to flicker, and three new items appeared while the original items remained unchanged.
They were [One-Star - Inner Sect Teachings], [One-Star - Critical Strike], [Two-Star - Spiritual Root Enhancent].
One applies to all sect mbers, while the other two apply to individual sect mbers.
Upon seeing the two-star item refresh, labeled as Spiritual Root Enhancent, Lu Ping’s eyes lit up.
This thing, can it enhance spiritual roots?
There really is such an operation.
I’ll know once I open it.
Lu Ping clicked on it, and the details were revealed.
[Spiritual Root Enhancent: Two-Star]
[Effect: Enhances the spiritual root of an individual sect mber, optimizing their spiritual root and increasing it by one level]
[Reputation: 100]
After optimizing the spiritual root, it can be increased by one level...
Does that an that three spirit roots can be upgraded to dual spirit roots, and dual spirit roots can be upgraded to celestial spirit roots?!
If it really has such an effect, then that’s quite impressive!
Lu Ping felt a bit excited in his heart.
Spiritual roots are mysterious and innate talents. He had never heard of any way to enhance and optimize spiritual roots.
At least, as a Golden Core Ancestor, he had never heard of it.
And a cultivator’s achievents on the path of Dao are often determined by talent.
The better the talent, the faster the cultivation, and the higher the achievents attained.
For example, celestial spirit roots—holders of such spirit roots, as long as they don’t die prematurely, are sure to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Dual spirit roots are a bit weaker but can basically reach the Golden Core Stage.
Three, four, even five spirit roots have decreasing cultivation achievents, basically ending at Foundation Establishnt.
Defects in talent cannot often be changed by diligence, hard work, or burying oneself in cultivation.
Unless there is an extraordinary encounter, heavily favored by the heavens.
However, such overpowered cultivators are extrely rare throughout the entire cultivation realm.
Lu Ping, as a transmigrator, with three spirit roots and the mindset of living two lives, only managed to reach the Golden Core Stage level.
Further breaking through to Nascent Soul is extrely difficult.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in this state now.
"No matter whether it can truly increase a spiritual root level or not, using it will definitely be better than the current spiritual root."
"Achieving this effect is not a loss."
Suppressing his inner restlessness, Lu Ping decided not to redeem it for now and continued to check out the other two new items.
[Inner Sect Teachings: One-Star]
[Effect: Increases cultivation technique comprehension for all sect mbers by 15%, lasting for one year]
[Reputation: 10]
...
[Critical Strike: One-Star]
[Effect: Designate a sect mber, granting a critical strike boost when executing battle techniques, increasing technique damage by 50%]
[Reputation: 10]
...
Honestly speaking, while these two items might not excite Lu Ping as much as [Spiritual Root Enhancent], if used properly, they are also not bad in effect.
[Inner Sect Teachings] can be used for all sect mbers and sustain a 15% increase in cultivation technique comprehension for a year. This one requires just 10 Reputation Points and is worth redeeming.
As for [Critical Strike], it’s suitable for combat; better leave it for now.
Having made up his mind, Lu Ping imdiately redeed [Inner Sect Teachings].
Reputation Points deducted by 10, a dialog box appeared.
[Inner Sect Teachings successfully redeed, use now?]
"Use."
There’s no hesitation needed here.
[Inner Sect Teachings used successfully, all sect mbers’ cultivation technique comprehension 15%. Effect expires in 364 days 23 hours 56 minutes and 58 seconds]
After the effect took place, Lu Ping couldn’t really feel any specific changes.
anwhile, within the Cyan Mountain Sect, a few disciples were practicing their cultivation techniques and suddenly noticed that their comprehension seed to have increased sowhat.
Their comprehension of the techniques was slightly better than usual.
But this feeling was very subtle.
So much so that they mused to themselves if it was just an illusion?
Zhang Nianchuan mumbled to himself.
"Maybe today’s cultivation state is exceptionally good."
Thinking this way, he didn’t dwell on it and continued practicing.
In the cave mansion, having granted a 15% increase in cultivation technique comprehension to all sect mbers, Lu Ping felt a great sense of contentnt.
The sect’s increased strength was a welco thing for him.
There are still 121 Reputation Points left, so I can try using 100 Reputation Points to redeem [Spiritual Root Enhancent] and test its effect.
For the candidate, after careful consideration, Lu Ping decided to use it on one of his three children.
As for others, he wasn’t too assured.
If I enhance a disciple’s spiritual root, turning them into dual or even celestial spirit roots, what if they defect to another sect later?
That would be a huge loss.
This kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen; it must be prevented.
So, using it on disciples is out of the question.
And among the three children, that’s easier; they are family, not likely to abandon their own family and turn to another sect, right?
Lu Ping trusts that his children wouldn’t do such a thing.
If it really happened, they would surely regret it for the rest of their lives.
Choosing among the three children, and pondering over the candidate, Lu Ping soon reached a conclusion.
The youngest daughter, Zhiwei, had already been given [Steadfast Dao Heart], ensuring that her heart for cultivation was strong after activating.
With this pursuing Dao heart and her Gold and Wood Dual Spirit Roots, reaching the Golden Core Stage in the future shouldn’t be difficult.
And Lu Changfeng, his talent is Fire, Wood, and Gold Three Spirit Roots, using it on him can mostly only enhance to dual spirit roots.
Comparing this to the eldest son Lu Yuanshan, if used on Lu Yuanshan, his Wood and Earth Dual Spirit Roots could very likely enhance to celestial spirit roots!
Using it on Lu Yuanshan is clearly more suitable.
Moreover, Lu Yuanshan is the Sect Leader of Cyan Mountain, and his cultivation level should surely be ahead of all the sect mbers; there’s no argunt there.
Especially, Lu Ping recalled Tang Zhixian’s words in the Sect Hall at this ti.
"I co from the Tang Family. The Patriarch of the Tang Family broke through to Foundation Establishnt a year ago, and the Tang Family has thus been elevated to a Foundation Establishnt Clan, significantly improving its status in Lushan County."
"But looking at Cyan Mountain Sect, after so many years, the overall strength of the sect has been steadily declining, and even the Sect Leader is only at the Qi Cultivation Stage..."
At that ti, Lu Ping found these words quite hurtful.
A re Sect Leader of the Cyan Mountain Sect, with only Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, was really indefensible.
If Lu Ping felt hurt hearing this, imagine how Lu Yuanshan himself must have felt, surely feeling deep sha and discomfort.
Therefore, this first opportunity for spiritual root enhancent must go to Lu Yuanshan.
With a suitable candidate in mind, Lu Ping redeed [Spiritual Root Enhancent].
Before using it, he didn’t forget to communicate with Lu Yuanshan.
"Yuanshan, your father is giving you a boost."
In the Sect Leader’s Hall, hearing his father’s communication, Lu Yuanshan clearly paused for a mont.
Having lived with Lu Ping for over twenty years and frequently hearing so ’unusual’ words from Lu Ping, he was used to it.
He roughly understood what a boost ant.
"Alright, father."
Responding through communication, Lu Yuanshan was sowhat expectant in his heart.
