There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Chapter 1287 Spiritual Root Evolution, Triploid Form

After Wanyan Zun and Xiao Changsheng left, Feng Chenglong and the others also returned to their respective dojos.

Xu Changshou sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering what to do next.

After what happened today, there's no need to worry about Xiao Changsheng's threats for the time being. With the Seventh Patrol Team protecting him, the master and apprentice will definitely not dare to cause him any more trouble.

Now, Xu Changshou can focus on his own business.

There are many things to do next: cultivate, earn merit points, and practice the two Heaven-level spells, Thunder Needle and Blue Stone Seal.

In addition, Xu Changshou has broken through to the Mahayana realm, and many eighth-grade spirit talismans also need to be deduced.

"Let's go exchange some Greater Spirit Pills first!"

Xu Changshou had an idea. He took out his identity token and glanced at it. At this moment, there were still thirty-two merit points on his identity token.

After breaking through to the Mahayana realm, one can no longer use the Void Spirit Pill for cultivation; one must use the higher-grade Rank 8 Great Spirit Pill.

The Greater Spirit Pill requires even more merit points; one Greater Spirit Pill requires ten merit points to exchange.

Thirty-two merit points can only be exchanged for three Great Spirit Pills.

The main task now is still to earn merit points.

"Never mind that, let's exchange for the Great Spirit Pills first!"

Xu Changshou stood up and flew towards the direction of Right Assistant Peak. The place to exchange for Great Spirit Pills was also in the Void Spirit Hall on Right Assistant Peak.

Soon, Xu Changshou arrived at the Void Spirit Hall on Right Bi Peak. He entered the hall and took a look. The person in charge of guarding the counter was still the same old man surnamed Xu with gray hair.

After glancing at the old man, Xu Changshou discovered that his cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm.

People like them usually don't have a cultivation level higher than the late Mahayana stage. People at the late Mahayana stage can be granted the title of Venerable, so they wouldn't hold such a position.

At this moment, there was no one in the Void Spirit Hall. As soon as Xu Changshou entered, the old man surnamed Xu naturally focused his attention on him.

The old man surnamed Xu looked at Xu Changshou with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He felt that Xu Changshou was unfamiliar and he had never seen this Mahayana cultivator before.

"Hello, Senior Brother Xu!"

Xu Changshou stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and greeted him with a smile.

"Um... This old man's eyesight is failing. May I ask how this junior brother is addressed?" the old man surnamed Xu asked uncertainly.

"Your younger brother is Xu Changshou!"

"Xu Changshou..."

Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Xu paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "I know you. You are the servant disciple from Sima Jian who broke through to the Mahayana stage."

Xu Changshou broke through to the Mahayana stage from a menial servant. During this time, the entire Donghua Immortal Sect was discussing this matter. Basically, everyone knew about Xu Changshou, but many people had never seen him.

Xu Changshou nodded: "It's me."

"It really is Junior Brother Xu, hehe. May I ask, Junior Brother Xu, what is your position?" the old man surnamed Xu asked again.

Xu Changshou smiled and said, "Seventh Group, patrolmen."

"Ok!"

The elderly man surnamed Xu smiled and nodded: "Although the patrolman's salary is not high, it's a leisurely job, so it's not bad."

"That's it."

Xu Changshou smiled and asked, "Senior Brother Xu, is the Great Spirit Pill exchanged here?"

"Great! How much do you want to exchange?"

Xu Changshou took out his identity token and handed it to the old man surnamed Xu, saying, "I only have thirty-two merit points. How many can I exchange for?"

The old man surnamed Xu said, "Ten points of merit equal one great elixir."

Xu Changshou smiled wryly: "I want three."

"Ok!"

The old man surnamed Xu deducted thirty merit points and then handed Xu Changshou a white porcelain bottle.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu. Farewell!"

"Junior Brother Xu, take care!"

Xu Changshou glanced at his identity token and then stepped out of the Void Spirit Hall. At this moment, he only had two merit points left.

Back at his dojo, Xu Changshou took out the white porcelain bottle and looked at it. At the bottom of the bottle, three milky white pills were quietly placed.

That's right, it's the Great Elixir.

Next, Xu Changshou swallowed a large spiritual pill and began cultivating.

The Great Elixir enters the body and remains suspended within it.

Xu Changshou examined his inner self and discovered that the spiritual energy contained in the Great Spirit Pill was almost ten times that of the Void Spirit Pill.

It’s expensive for a reason.

Xu Changshou sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spiritual energy from the Great Spirit Pill.

"Ok?"

As soon as he absorbed spiritual energy, Xu Changshou realized something was wrong; his absorption speed was much faster than before.

Xu Changshou opened his eyes and couldn't help but reveal an expression of ecstatic joy.

The speed at which one absorbs spiritual energy depends on their spiritual root, which is generally unchanging.

However, Xu Changshou's spiritual root has undergone multiple transformations and evolutions.

After each evolution of his spiritual root, this situation occurs where he suddenly absorbs spiritual energy much faster.

Now he absorbs spiritual energy faster. Could it be that his spiritual root has evolved again?

Thinking of this, Xu Changshou patted his storage bag and took out a magic item for testing spiritual roots.

To test his spiritual root, Xu Changshou was surprised to find that his spiritual root had actually become a triploid chaotic spiritual root.

"Triploid! I've become triploid!"

Xu Changshou was overjoyed. Even though he was an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, he could not contain his joy. Nothing was more exciting than the evolution of spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots determine the upper limit of cultivation. Improving one's spiritual roots means that the upper limit of cultivation will also increase, thus giving Xu Changshou the opportunity to break through the tribulation in the future.

What surprised Xu Changshou the most was that he could now confirm one thing: his spiritual root was constantly improving.

As for when the improvement occurred, Xu Changshou couldn't say for sure. Perhaps it was the moment the Bloodline Jade Talisman entered his body that his spiritual root changed.

His improvement was evident after he joined the Canghai School.

Right now, he's only at a triplet size. If he can improve to a quintuplet size, a decauplet size, and keep improving like this, then ascending to the Immortal Realm in the future won't be a problem.

Suppressing his joy, Xu Changshou continued refining the Great Spirit Pill, simultaneously deducing the Eighth-Rank Sword Qi Talisman.

The Sword Qi Talisman was the talisman that Xu Changshou was most familiar with, so he decided that while cultivating, he would first deduce the method of drawing the Sword Qi Talisman.

Ten years later, the Great Elixir was completely refined.

Xu Changshou's cultivation level has improved to a certain extent. He secretly calculated that he would need about three hundred Great Spirit Pills. If all goes well, he could break through to the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm in three thousand years.

For cultivators at the Mahayana realm, breaking through from the initial to the middle stage in three thousand years is an incredibly rapid pace.

Twenty years later, all three Great Spirit Pills were refined, and at the same time, Xu Changshou also deduced the Eighth Grade Sword Qi Talisman.

The power of the sword energy talisman depends on his cultivation level.

He is currently in the early stage of Mahayana, and the eighth-grade sword qi talisman he draws can instantly kill someone in the middle stage of Mahayana.

Xu Changshou now possesses a 100,000-year-old locust tree, but unfortunately, this 100,000-year-old spiritual wood can only be used to draw seventh-grade spiritual talismans, not eighth-grade ones.

Even after deducing the eighth-grade spirit talisman, he couldn't draw it, as drawing an eighth-grade spirit talisman requires spirit wood that is 500,000 years old.

However, for Xu Changshou, that 100,000-year-old locust tree could finally be put to good use.

It can be used to draw seventh-grade sword qi talismans, and then sold to those cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage.

What does the Donghua Immortal Sect have the most of? Refinement Void cultivators!
