“Thank you for your reminder, Elder Shen.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and thanked him.

However, inside, he was a little surprised.

Originally, he thought that when Shen Changnian saw that he had chosen the Five Elements True Technique and the Divine Light of the Arctic, he would more or less say something.

He thought that Shen Changnian might even persuade him to choose something else instead of the Five Elements True Technique.

In the end, he did not say anything and only reminded Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan had even thought of a reason to explain just now.

In the end, he didn’t need to use it.

It was not until he returned to his cave abode with the jade slip that he understood.

Cultivation techniques and spells were the most private things for cultivators.

It was a huge taboo to probe.

Unless your relationship with each other was extremely good.

Otherwise, people might take offense.

Shen Changnian had lived for more than 170 years, so he naturally knew this basic unspoken rule between cultivators.

After understanding this, Jiang Chengxuan did not dwell on this anymore. Instead, he focused all his attention on the jade slips.

According to what Shen Changnian reminded him previously, if he wanted to cultivate the Five Elements True Technique and the Divine Light of the Arctic, the first thing he had to do was to swear an oath that he would not spread these techniques.

He gently placed the jade slip on his forehead.

Immediately, a message appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.

[To cultivate this technique, one has to make a mental oath with their Dao heart before they can see the complete content.]

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately swore with his Dao heart that he would not impart this technique to anyone.

At the same time, the layer of restriction that was branded on this jade slip immediately disappeared.

What appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind was the complete content of the Five Elements True Technique.

He tried to cultivate.

Jiang Chengxuan was surprised to find that this Five Elements True Technique was indeed one of the most moderate cultivation techniques.

In just a few days, Jiang Chengxuan had already familiarized himself with this cultivation technique.

Then, he started to cultivate this technique according to the system’s instruction.

Because he was a guest elder, the Shen Immortal family would not assign Jiang Chengxuan any mandatory family missions.

Unless the Shen family was in dire danger, Jiang Chengxuan could stay in his cave abode as long as he wanted.

However, if he didn’t do anything, he wouldn’t be able to get anything other than his annual salary.

Therefore, if he wanted to obtain cultivation resources, he still had to take on some missions.

Of course, if he wanted to travel outside and find ways to obtain cultivation resources, the Shen Immortal family would not stop him either.

It was all up to him.

Jiang Chengxuan naturally would not choose a peaceful life.

If he really wanted a peaceful life, he would not choose the Shen Immortal family. Instead, he would find a safe place, or even a mortal city, where he would marry a lot of wives and have a lot of children.

However, before he completed the system’s mission and cultivated the Divine Light of the Arctic to Perfection, he would not choose to go out at this time or take on any missions.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

On this day.

Jiang Chengxuan had just finished circulating the Five Elements True Technique.

At this moment, a long-lost system notification suddenly sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have completed the mission of cultivating the Five Elements True Technique a hundred times! You have obtained the Yin-Yang Five Elements Spiritual Root.]

[The Yin-Yang Five Elements Spiritual Roots are respectively the Yang Wood Spiritual Root, the Yin Wood Spiritual Root, the Yang Fire Spiritual Root, the Yin Fire Spiritual Root, the Yang Earth Spiritual Root, the Yin Earth Spiritual Root, the Yang Metal Spiritual Root, the Yin Metal Spiritual Root, the Yang Water Spiritual Root, and the Yin Water Spiritual Root. They are also known as the ten Spiritual Roots. This is the best aptitude for cultivating the Five Elements True Technique.]

There were five Yang Elements Spiritual Roots and five Yin Elements Spiritual roots.

Most of the time, the so-called False Spiritual Roots were caused by the imbalance of Yin and Yang. Cultivators like Jiang Chengxuan who had False Spiritual Roots tended to have more Yin or more Yang in their body.

The imbalance of Yin and Yang would make it twice as difficult to cultivate.

This was the reason why False Spiritual Roots was considered a low-grade aptitude.

In addition, there were also the five-element Pure Yang Spiritual Root and the five-element Pure Yin Spiritual Root, which were considered excellent cultivation aptitudes.

However, cultivators with such aptitudes needed to cultivate corresponding five-element Pure Yang technique or five-element Pure Yin technique to bring out the maximum potential.

Unfortunately, in the current Nine Essences Immortal Cultivation World, there were almost no cultivation sects and families that had such a cultivation technique.

Therefore.

In the current cultivation world, the five-element Pure Yang Spirit Root aptitude and the five-element Pure Yin Spirit Root aptitude were actually considered the lowest-grade spiritual roots.

This information was instilled into Jiang Chengxuan by the system after it gave him the Yin Yang Five Elements Spiritual Root.

Now that he had the best aptitude for cultivating the Five Elements True Technique, he did not know how different it would be from before if he cultivated it now.

At this thought, Jiang Chengxuan closed his eyes and tried to circulate his True Essence.

Half a month later.

Jiang Chengxuan opened his eyes in surprise.

He realized that at this moment, the Five Elements True Technique he cultivated was different in nature from the one before.

First of all, the quantity and quality of his True Essence was already more than three times that of before.

It was almost equivalent to the quantity and quality of an ordinary third level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Moreover, it would continue to increase as his cultivation increased.

In addition, the True Essence he cultivated through the Five Elements True Technique could at least increase the power of five element spells he cast by one to two times.

This was unimaginable in the past.

Normally, cultivation techniques could at most increase the power of the spells of the same nature by half.

For Jiang Chengxuan, it was double.

This was simply insane!

Moreover, he had a feeling that what he had discovered now was probably only a part of it.

There should be something special that he had yet to discover.

“Haha… Hahaha!”

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan could no longer hold back his excitement and immediately laughed out loud in his cave abode.
