Chapter 1380: 1016: The God Who Governs Spirit Roots (2)

Adding to the fact that this corpse is indeed extraordinary, the original owner practiced Earth Element Technique. I’ll give you a top-grade Earth Spirit Root to match it, allowing your cultivation to advance faster after borrowing the corpse for resurrection. There’s another crucial point: both your residual soul and this body lack accumulated lifespan. Without additional help, you’d still die three days after resurrection due to exhausted lifespan.

Therefore, I can take out three hundred years from my own lifespan and give them to you, which is the limit. Whether you can ascend to a higher realm and gain new lifespan after three hundred years depends on your own efforts."

Everyone: ???

Top-grade Metal Spirit Root they treasured? What does that mean?

Can spirit roots be extracted and treasured? Reinsert them when needed?

Also, lifespan can be gifted? How come we haven’t heard of this?

If not for the backing of the Cloud Concealment Sect, the nine Sect Leaders present would suspect Mr. Jiang might be crazy.

Wei Ting was also baffled, buy one get one free spirit root?

Are you a god overseeing spirit roots? Giving spirit roots to whoever you wish, any amount, even freely combining them?!

"Don’t just stand there, get closer to the corpse." Jiang Yuan clicked to select one body and one soul, then clicked to gift 200 points of Life Origin.

In the past, gifting three hundred years of lifespan would be heart-wrenching. But now... his clone harvested many evil cultivators in Snow Cloud Valley, so three hundred years is just an addition; it’s worth spending generously.

"Buzz—"

The small hall of the Menghua Treasure Ship suddenly swirled with wind.

A mysterious, strong power descended from the sky, enveloping the chosen two.

Wei Ting only felt his ethereal soul becoming heavier, then blood surged within his body, and his heart beat firmly and powerfully, surrounded by stars, with endless life force permeating and nourishing his soul and body.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt alive again! He had a heartbeat, breath, body warmth!

He carefully felt the indescribable revival, the body in the crystal coffin started to breathe again, and soon its complexion became rosy...

"Gulp!" Even Cang Rui, who deeply trusted Jiang Yuan, couldn’t help swallowing saliva, barely suppressing inner excitement and shock.

A miraculous technique unheard of! Could it be anything other than an Immortal Technique?!

The members of the small courtyard were used to such grandiose scenes, only wondering who was lucky enough to receive the gift of creation from Mr. Jiang.

In no time, the progress bar in Jiang Yuan’s view moved rapidly.

After the gifting ceremony, the whirlwind disappeared. The person in the crystal coffin opened his eyes and stood up, first thanking Mr. Jiang for recreating him, then his master for great kindness.

"See these two top-grade spirit roots? One metal, one earth, they are yours now." Jiang Yuan took them from the Storage Bag and deliberately showed them for everyone to see before patting the other’s shoulder to plant them.

Ah! The still pending human support plan actually counts, adding one to the spirit root gifting task.

"The- the spirit roots can be taken out and put back in?!"

"Shouldn’t the spirit roots be integrated with the body? Flourishing or failing together should be the way!"

"The Metal Spirit Root turns out to be so gorgeous? The Earth Spirit Root is kind of cute."

"You beauty-lover, is this the time to discuss appearances? Those are spirit roots! Taken out and put back in!"

"Hiss... Mr. Jiang, could you tell us where these spirit roots come from? How are they preserved?"

"Mr. Jiang being able to manipulate spirit roots easily, doesn’t it mean he could effortlessly extract anyone’s spirit root?"

.........

Facing everyone’s puzzled expressions, Jiang Yuan smiled and gestured. "Everyone, don’t misunderstand. Those two spirit roots were grown in the Cloud Field, not casually extracted from anyone.

Moreover, the replacement and implantation of spirit roots are highly restricted, and only with a new body can this be done easily. If you all wish to change, you’d have to die once and wait for the chance of resurrection. I can’t extract spirit roots growing on living people for preservation."

This statement shocked everyone even more.

Spirit roots are actually grown! They can be grown?!

From requesting the Soul Revival Technique until now, the entire process took less time than a cup of tea.

The ten Sect Leaders were shocked over and over, learning lesson after lesson, finally looking at each other suspiciously, wondering if they’d fallen into an Illusion Realm.

Fortunately, Wei Ting quickly adapted to the new body. Aside from changes in height and appearance, the soul and body were highly compatible, seemingly original!

Especially with Mr. Jiang gifting two top-grade spirit roots, making him both fresh and excited. Sensing spiritual power flowing in his body again, the combination of newly acquired Earth and Metal attributes opened up a new world.

"Wei Ting thanks Mr. Jiang for creating me anew! You saved my residual soul; borrowing a corpse to return to life again and gifting me top-grade Dual Spirit Roots, my gratitude is beyond words, and from now on, I am willing to serve Mr. Jiang like a dog or horse!" He knelt down and his sincerity soared.

Hall Master of Qingfeng Hall reacted quickly, stepped forward to express gratitude, using the reason of a definite reward as an opportunity to inquire about how to join the small courtyard as a Guest.

Witnessing a miracle firsthand, what’s there to hesitate about? Hesitating even for a moment now would be irresponsible to the entire Sect!

Divine Mountain still has eight massive ruined city walls awaiting restoration, and Jiang Yuan accepts any willing sects to help with construction.

Despite this, not all can start at once—the Qingfeng Hall’s Inner Sect Disciples are few in number; the Black Tortoise Pavilion originally had many people, but suffered severe losses from fierce battles with the Demon Race over the years. Even combined, they can’t fill a city.

Finally, Chenxi Valley was included as well, the three sects jointly building one city wall.

After negotiating the details of cooperation, the nine Sect Leaders notified their sects to relocate in seclusion, all eyes fell on Yun Shu and Yun Ying, called back by Jiang Yuan, and they started calculating silently.

Finding a suitable fresh corpse is the simplest first step in the entire soul revival process;

Next, be it requesting and waiting for Mr. Jiang to perform the Soul Revival Technique under auspicious conditions, or implanting spirit roots and gifting lifespan, it’s all invaluable!

How much is a spirit root worth?

What is the value of three hundred years of lifespan? What price must be paid to perform Secret Techniques?

Righteous Cultivators always ensure fairness and responsibility, and careful calculation shows making an Inner Sect Disciple borrow a corpse for revival entails enormous costs without favoring some over others.

Moreover, the waiting for Secret Technique performance is troublesome. How long to wait? Can the residual souls withstand it; these are all unknowns.

But living on as a puppet is comparatively less troublesome.

Simply find refining materials requested by the Puppet Master, patiently wait for the finished product, customizing appearance as desired. Although one can’t cultivate within a puppet body, there’s no need to cross Thunder Tribulation anymore. With enough Spirit Stones, one can live forever!

Rather than waiting an unknown period in the scroll for the chance of resurrection, it’s better to live on as a puppet body.

Of course, these are the thoughts of Sect Leaders weighing options, actual implementation requires detailed talks with each disciple to obtain their opinion.

Some may want to survive more securely, while others would rather let their residual soul wither away entirely, preferring to gain a human body again for cultivation, even if it means bearing immeasurable gratitude.

After concluding secret talks and sending off the nine Sect Leaders, dawn had already broken slightly.

Jiang Yuan stood on the deck of the Menghua Treasure Ship, gazing at the dawn light reflecting on the still unmelted snow, feeling time seemed to move faster. In a blink, half of the three-month-long winter had already passed.

"Mingchuan, come here for a moment." Seeing the Wilderness about to ascend, he waved as a signal.

The first disciple swiftly flew over, eagerly asking, "Master, what are your instructions?"

"On this occasion, you traveled to Yingtian Star for exploration, and after leaving for a while, you’ve significantly improved your strength. You should visit Celestial Sword Sect to meet your grandfather and share the joy with the elder."

Jiang Yuan spoke with a smile forming, "Also, check if Celestial Sword Sect has any thoughts of migrating to the Wilderness above. Snow Cloud Valley is a great place; we should keep the benefits within the family. If Celestial Sword Sect is unwilling to take risks relocating, inquire about Haoyue Sect instead, as this needs to be settled quickly to avoid delays."

Wan Mingchuan’s eyes lit up immediately!

The Human World lacks Spiritual Energy, which heavily restricts cultivators. But suddenly relocating above the Wilderness risks demon beasts overpowering them, demon cultivators out-competing them, and venturing out for resources would be a suicidal task for Celestial Sword Sect currently.

But Snow Cloud Valley holds two Spirit Stone Veins; there’s already an existing Valley Protection Array; and having recently risen to become a high-level cultivator, Mingchuan can manage and assist without constantly troubling the master.

Once Celestial Sword Sect relocates, just mining by the Inner Sect Disciples can ensure self-sufficiency! Nourished by the rich Spiritual Energy endlessly flowing day and night in the Wilderness, the entire sect can retreat into cultivation, certainly boosting strength significantly and establishing stability in the Wilderness!
