Chapter 135: The True Value Of Innate Spiritual Roots
It is said that in the eyes of consumers in big cities.
Whether the star quality ratio can reach one to two is equivalent to the passing line for high-quality scroll paintings.
If it can reach that, it is a high-quality scroll painting; if not, it will be classified as an ordinary scroll painting.
After all, the painted spirit level is at most ten stars, but otherworldly monsters far exceed level ten. In the depths of various other dimensions, level thirteen to twenty monsters are everywhere, and it is said there are even level thirty to forty monsters.
Many top-tier scroll paintings’ star quality ratios can even reach one to three, or even one to four.
Currently, the scroll paintings in Wu Xian’s hands have star quality ratios basically above one to two, meaning one painted spirit level corresponds to more than double the monster level.
Among them, Winged Fire Snake, Zhen Water Worm, and one other can reach above one to three.
The God of Wealth’s is at least at the level of one to four.
Of course, this ratio is based on the situation where neither side has a clear restraint relationship; restraint and special attack type ratios are calculated separately.
Additionally, the star quality ratio is not fixed; subsequently, with the divine diagram（ system） and scroll painting material（ hardware） improvements, the 【star quality ratio】 will also improve.
From the current performance of the Laurel Branch, it has the power to fight against level nine and level ten elite monsters.
But once it exceeds level ten elite monsters, it becomes very hard to break defenses.
As for ordinary small monsters, those within level fifteen can basically be easily broken through in defense, and the damage output can keep up.
With a slight intention, the Day and Night Patrol Gods emerge, and under each other’s bond effect, they split into countless tiny roaming souls that disperse, conducting large-scale exploration of the surroundings.
At the same time, relying on the Natal God of Wealth’s innate wealth scent, they search for traces of wealth.
Along the way of exploration, they harvest a few spiritual grass and herbs containing special spiritual fluctuations, and incidentally slay two level seven to eight elite monsters.
Not long after, they successfully find a fresh mine vein.
“What mine is so valuable?”
Feeling that dense to frightening aura of wealth, Wu Xian inwardly felt doubt.
He immediately released Brother Pillar to dig downward on the spot; the deeper they dug, the more shocking that aura of wealth became.
After digging nearly thirty meters, dense spiritual energy fluctuations had already seeped out from the rock layer.
No way~no way?
Wu Xian kept swallowing saliva, somewhat dared not to believe it.
Finally, the moment the mine vein was revealed, Wu Xian completely lost his composure.
It was actually a Spirit Crystal Ore Vein!
I’m rich, I’m really rich this time.
Spirit Crystals, as hard currency in this world, are equivalent to gold mines in this world.
“Huh~the Laurel Tree also has a reaction?”
In his excitement, he hurriedly released the Laurel Tree.
The Laurel Tree, shining with ethereal light, without any hesitation, plunged its massive roots into the Spirit Crystal Ore Vein. Vast and majestic spiritual energy was rapidly absorbed through the roots into the Laurel Branch.
However, the reserves of this Spirit Crystal Ore Vein were average, and in less than half an hour, the Laurel Branch had sucked it dry, leaving nothing behind.
“So, it needs to absorb Spirit Crystals to improve its rank?”
Seeing the Laurel Tree’s aura transform into Silver Scroll, Wu Xian was somewhat lost in thought.
【Remnant·Innate Laurel Tree】
Version: Original（ Gold Embroidery Border）
Rank: Silver Scroll
Painted Spirit: ★★★★★☆
Spirituality: 69
Talent Trait: Taiyin Spiritual Root
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t directly absorbing Spirit Crystals work?”
While pondering, he took out a few Spirit Crystals from the Qiankun Bag and tried letting the Laurel Tree absorb them.
However, it had no effect.
This shows that what the Laurel Tree absorbed was not the Spirit Crystals themselves, but the special “spiritual vein” behind the Spirit Crystal Ore Vein—the special power that formed this Spirit Crystal Ore Vein.
He then sensed the spiritual energy transformed by the Laurel Tree: not only was its quality extremely high, it could even nourish his Natal Flying Sword【 Laurel Branch】.
Even more outrageous was that while cultivating with the Laurel Tree’s spiritual energy, it could also bring slight insights into the Heaven and Earth Laws.
“Is this the value of an Innate Spiritual Root?”
Wu Xian unconsciously swallowed, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
In the future, while cultivating spiritual power, he could also gain insights into the power of Heaven and Earth Laws, thereby improving and optimizing the Law Network of all his divine diagrams.
One word: Invincible——!
Crucially, this was still just the remnant version of the Laurel Tree; if the 【Remnant】 label is removed later, the effects would be even more heaven-defying.
No wonder Shakyamuni was able to achieve enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree back then.
Innate Spiritual Roots are inherently a BUG-level existence.
While Wu Xian was excited, the Day and Night Patrol Gods soon sent a series of abnormal alerts.
After checking through the divine diagram’s shared vision, Wu Xian felt his scalp tingle.
The Laurel Tree had undoubtedly stirred up a hornet’s nest, or rather, taken away the food bowls of numerous dimensional monsters nearby in one go.
At this moment, numerous elite monsters and even commander-level monsters were surrounding him.
“Run~run~!”
Wu Xian hurriedly collected up the Laurel Tree, stepped on his flying sword, flew out of the deep pit, trying to escape the scene.
However, just after takeoff, he heard a buzzing sound like an engine from behind—it was a ninth-tier elite insectoid monster, entirely green, resembling a giant Flying Mantis.
Its flight speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced in front of Wu Xian.
Its powerful scythe legs aimed straight at Wu Xian’s vital points.
Fortunately, Wu Xian reacted quickly enough and had Aura of Wealth Protection; while narrowly dodging, he released the 【Wasp Marshal】 to counter.
The Wasp Marshal’s phantom darted, stinging a 【Soul Devouring Sting】 into the Flying Mantis’s back.
The Flying Mantis instantly fell into a brief soul disconnection state, its wings stopped vibrating, and it plummeted downward.
The Wasp Marshal raised its Insect Catching Net, turning it into a net condensed from Yin Souls, binding it in mid-air.
Then the Laurel Branch shot over, cooperating with the Wasp Marshal to cleanly end the battle, and conveniently collected the Flying Mantis’s corpse.
Looking below, dozens of high-tier monsters were already charging.
Rumble…
A tremor came from deep underground.
Boom!
Bucket-thick vines burst out of the ground, swaying around like tentacles.
Upon closer inspection, they were not mere vines, but more like a “hybrid” fusion monster of vines and worms, with each vine tentacle ending in a ferocious maw like petals.
“Lord-level?!”
Wu Xian inhaled sharply and hurriedly fled.
From its aura, at least level ten, possibly even eleven or twelve.
If forced to fight, it wasn’t impossible—he had massive Aura of Wealth Protection, plus the super-strong form with God of Wealth possession, and a bunch of powerful scroll paintings; he could grind it to death.
But there was no need.
Who knows how many more high-tier large monsters were rushing over nearby, and such a big commotion would inevitably attract powerhouses from all sides of Yaoyang City.
“Get lost!”
Facing the vine worm tentacles coming to intercept and entangle him, the God of Wealth appeared beside him first.
Bolts of thunder descended, repelling the vine worm, and successfully escaping.
The ground behind erupted with plowing-like booms.
The lord-level vine worm churned the ground, still chasing him, but it couldn’t catch up to the 【Laurel Branch】’s speed.
A few flying plant insectoids were chasing closely.
At the same time, many people nearby noticed the disturbance and rushed over to investigate.
Upon seeing the scene, they turned pale with fright and ran faster than anyone.
Among them was a main team from the Elf Club.
While fleeing madly, they didn’t forget to report to their master, “Hurry, contact the president quickly; this level of fusion lord, that young master from the dojo will definitely be very interested.”
