Chapter 438 Seven Roots

Chapter 438 Seven Roots

Two figures slowly moved across a very long wooden bridge connecting two mountain peaks as the sun was setting in the distance while the moon was already high in the air, slowly becoming clearer.

The air, still chilly but filled with the scent of budding new life of the trees and plants around filled the lungs of the two as they walked side by side, watching the scenery of the valley below.

"I wanted to thank you once again for doing so much for me"

Song Lingfei was not oblivious to the fact that her companion in taking this evening walk spent a lot of effort for her treatment, be it traveling to another continent to get the Dew of Life, or creating techniques which made her recovery possible.

"Haha, I offered you my help the day we met, so I am only abiding by my word, Your Highness"

"But still..."

"It may be a big favor to you but it is not such a great effort for me, not to mention that it was your condition that led me to think of a way to become stronger so I should thank you instead"

"My condition... you mentioned that you wanted to create a male version of the technique. Do you also possess a rare bloodline that requires special techniques to cultivate?"

"No, but bloodlines can not only be innate like yours, but acquired as well. There are a great many ways to acquire a bloodline"

"Is one of them... taking someone's Pure Yin Qi?"

Song Lingfei's cheeks took a light rosy color as she moved her gaze from the scenery down to the wooden planks of the bridge below their feet.

Her face was covered by the usual veil, but to him it was as well as non-existent as he could see her expressions with no hardship even without using the Chaos Origin Eyes.

"Mm, that is one of the ways, taking someone's Pure Yang Qi is the same" Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Wu Long spoke lightly and softly as he nodded, without evading the subject but strangely alleviating some of the feeling that made her move her gaze down.

"Does it dilute the bloodline of the one who shared it?"

"No, not even a little.

The Root of Spirituality, otherwise known as Spiritual Qi Root, from which the Dantian grows, producing Spiritual Qi and serving as the core of cultivation.

The Root of Longevity, located in the abdomen above Dantian, governing the lifespan, and in case of cultivators nourished by the Root of Spirituality.

The Root of Awareness, located in the center part of the head behind the Niwan Palace, and serving as the crux of the human senses such as vision, hearing, taste and smell but not limited to that.

And finally, the Root of Wisdom, otherwise called the Soul Root, located in the Niwan Palace, from which springs the Soul Sea.

All seven roots are connected and are essential for our life"

Song Lingfei spoke in a calm, soft but steady voice, exhibiting her proper education as Wu Long nodded with a smile.

"You see, much like the Root of Vitality has Blood Essence, each of the other Seven Roots have their own Essence which should not be surprising to you.

But what is less known, that not only the Root of Harmony has Pure Yin or Yang Qi, or speaking in formal language, Pure Harmonic Qi.

Other Seven Roots also have innate Qi or how they are more commonly called

'Pure' Qi that, unlike essence, have no detrimental effect on a cultivator's quality of life"

Wu Long chuckled, while Song Lingfei turned to him again with rapt attention, surprised at hearing something new about such a widely known subject.

"You listed the Seven Roots in the correct order, do you know why it is ordered in such a way?"

"Because the two closest Roots in the list have the strongest connection... you mean?"

"Correct, Root Of Vitality, Root of Harmony and Root of Spirituality share a special bond, as the two are closest connections in the chain to the one in the middle and so when the Pure Harmonic Qi is released, so is the Pure Spiritual Qi and the Pure Blood Qi.

This is also part of the reason cultivating someone's Pure Yin or Yang Qi gives so much more than normal Harmonic Qi"

He smiled at the expression of wonder in her eyes at learning something she thought should have been general knowledge as well.
