The Seed of Dao

In the cultivation world, the spiritual roots of most people would appear white on the Spirit Testing Stone.

However, certain special spiritual roots or physiques would display other colors.

For instance, Yan Qing's Fire Spirit Physique would show a mix of white and red on the stone.

If it were a pure special spiritual root, it would only display a single different color.

There was not much difference between a special spiritual root and a special physique.

Basically, before the Nascent Soul realm, cultivating techniques of the corresponding attribute would yield extremely fast progress.

But once reaching the Nascent Soul realm, their true uniqueness would be fully revealed.

After a cultivator reached the Nascent Soul realm, enhancing their cultivation was no longer a simple matter of accumulating and compressing magical power.

They needed to comprehend their own Dao.

This was also the reason why Nascent Soul experts could command the power of heaven and earth.

It was because they used the Dao within their own bodies to resonate with the corresponding Great Dao of heaven and earth.

For an ordinary Nascent Soul expert, comprehending a Dao was incredibly difficult.

This was why an old fellow like Wang Xuan, who had clearly reached the Nascent Soul realm at two or three hundred years old, was still stuck at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm even after seven or eight hundred years.

This was when special spiritual roots and physiques truly shined.

As long as they comprehended a Dao that corresponded to their spiritual root or physique, a cultivator could make rapid progress in the Nascent Soul realm. They could even condense a Dao Seed at a speed no slower than when they were in the Golden Core realm, reaching straight for the Soul Formation realm.

But what did Chen Changsheng see?

There were actually six different colors on the Spirit Testing Stone!

Although each color was mixed with a touch of white, this meant that Luo Hao actually possessed six special physiques!

When Chen Changsheng told Luo Hao this fact, she was also stunned.

But the next moment, she realized something and looked at Chen Changsheng.

"Wait, six special physiques?"

"After I sold the Authority 'A Golden Millet Dream', I only have six Authorities left."

"According to what you're saying, does each Authority actually correspond to a special physique?"

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng immediately opened the chat group, found the Authority Luo Hao had listed, and spent one million points to buy it.

The next moment, Chen Changsheng suddenly realized that a wondrous Dao rhythm had emerged within his body.

He had inexplicably comprehended the Dao of Harvest.

"There is actually such a good thing!?"

Chen Changsheng was greatly shocked.

Luo Hao naturally also noticed that Chen Changsheng had bought the Authority she listed in the chat group.

Not only her, but the others in the chat group also noticed this.

[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: Why did Brother Changsheng suddenly buy the Authority Sister Luo Hao listed? Isn't that 'A Golden Millet Dream' just a useless Authority?]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Xiaoxiao, you are so thick-skinned. Didn't Brother Changsheng say you are not allowed to call him Brother Changsheng?]

[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: Aren't you calling him that too? You're thick-skinned as well!]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Nonsense! Brother Changsheng only said you couldn't call him that, he didn't say I couldn't!]

[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: I will call him that, I will!]

[Yunlan Sect Master: ...]

[Emperor Through the Ages: That Authority called 'A Golden Millet Dream' is by no means useless. An Authority that can rapidly develop human civilization in a short time is simply a divine skill for a nation!]

[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: It can only develop agriculture and economy. Besides, if it loses the effect of the Authority, the development of civilization will decline. If it isn't useless, what is it?]

[Emperor Through the Ages: @Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby, you really are... simple-minded.]

Although the development of agriculture and economy would decline after losing the effect of the Authority, the knowledge and experience accumulated during that period would not disappear.

He wanted to say that Gu Xiaoxiao was simply stupid, but after thinking about how she was a member of the group and not a subject under his rule, he held his tongue.

Brother Zheng thought for a long time, and ultimately could only use "simple-minded" to evaluate Gu Xiaoxiao.

Chen Changsheng did not pay attention to the discussion in the chat group; instead, he excitedly sat cross-legged.

A massive amount of mid- and low-grade spirit stones appeared around him, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of miles around Skycloud City began to madly surge toward the Chen family's backyard.

Looking from within Skycloud City, a terrifying vortex was currently swallowing and spitting out a massive amount of spiritual energy above the Chen family estate.

And almost all the spiritual energy drawn in by the vortex surged toward the Chen family's backyard.

"What happened!?"

"It's the Chen family! All the spiritual energy in the surrounding area is surging toward the Chen family!"

"Could it be that the Chen family's ancestor has returned!?"

"With such a terrifying spiritual energy vortex, could the Chen family's ancestor have broken through again?"

"It's also possible that a powerful magical treasure was forged!"

The cultivators in Skycloud City fell into shock as they watched this terrifying scene.

Meanwhile, some smart individuals had already silently begun to meditate and cultivate.

Such a terrifying concentration of spiritual energy was something many low-level cultivators would only encounter once in their lifetimes.

Chen Kun and a group of Chen family elders, who had originally been selecting an auspicious day for Chen Changsheng, were also visibly excited upon seeing this scene.

"All cultivators of the Chen family, stop what you are doing and circulate your cultivation techniques!"

Chen Kun's voice echoed throughout the entire Chen family estate, snapping the initially shocked Chen family disciples back to their senses.

Now, because of Chen Changsheng's actions, the spiritual energy in the entire Chen family estate had become so dense that it had turned into mist.

Such a great opportunity was extremely rare.

...

As for others sharing the benefits of the spiritual energy vortex he created, Chen Changsheng didn't mind.

Three hours later, Chen Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.

Just now, the Dao of Harvest represented by the Authority 'A Golden Millet Dream' was directly absorbed by his Yin-Yang Holy Physique and transformed into a Dao Seed of the Dao of Harvest.

And his cultivation directly soared from the initial fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm all the way to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

Once that Harvest Dao Seed was completely perfected, he would be able to directly break through to the Soul Formation realm.

Luo Hao stood to the side, staring blankly at Chen Changsheng.

She saw with her own eyes that after Chen Changsheng sat down cross-legged, a massive amount of spirit stones appeared around him.

Then, in an instant, the spirit stones transformed into pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

And then the cycle repeated.

She had lost count of how many spirit stones had turned into spiritual energy and been absorbed by Chen Changsheng.

And the aura radiating from Chen Changsheng kept breaking through, breaking through, and breaking through again.

Was I trying to challenge a monster like this earlier?

Chen Changsheng did not know what Luo Hao was thinking. After adapting to his current strength, he looked at her with an excited expression.

"I think I already know the function of the Authorities."

"Wh-what function?"

Luo Hao looked confused.

"Every Authority represents a shortcut to comprehending a Dao!"

After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he flipped his hand and took out an ordinary spirit herb seed.

Magical power surged from his body, and the seed actually took root directly in the void, growing wildly the very next moment.

In just a moment, the seed fully matured, becoming a spiritual plant laden with fruit.

"This is?"

"This is a Fire Spirit Fruit, a grade-four spiritual fruit that takes a hundred years to mature. It is one of the main medicinal ingredients for refining grade-four pills."

After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, seeing that Luo Hao did not seem to understand, he did not bother explaining further. Instead, he directly uploaded the spiritual plant to the chat group's store.

Innate Wife-Taking Physique uploaded Tier 2 Spiritual Plant Fire Spirit Fruit Tree x 1, Tier 2 Spiritual Fruit Fire Spirit Fruit x 14, obtaining 80,000 points.

Luo Hao: ???

Did she just sell off an extraordinary Authority for practically nothing?
