Chapter 235: Spiritual Roots and Invitation

'Damn! I almost forgot about their Will. The world of a cultivator has one main code. If you don't have the willpower to cultivate, you can never cultivate. Those main characters from novels, each one of them used to have a strong will.'

'Yeah, they do have cheats. But, those cheats weren't the main reason why they got successful and reach their peak. Of course, plot armor is also a cheat. But, some novels genuinely have less plot armor while showing the strong will of the main character to live.'

'I was comparing her with normal people. If I am not wrong, then her will is even stronger than Jenny and others. I can't simply ignore the fact that my Sex Aura works based on my target's willpower. What should I do?'

'If I force her, then it might be a little bad. Although I used Sex Aura, I am not truly assaulting them sexually. I am arousing their sexual desires. And, if she can control her sexual desires. Then, the only thing that I can do is outburst those desires.'

Mike instantly released all of Sex Aura at her. The eyes that had returned to sanity once again began to change. Seeing that change, his smile became wider but soon, her eyes once again returned to calmness.

Suddenly, Mike grabbed her shoulder with his one hand and shouted "Luo Zemin, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"

His Sex Aura disappeared along with his Hands of Pleasure. His words rang on her ears and were very loud on top of that.

"Don't scream in someone's ears!" Luo Zemin shouted as she pushed away Mike. Her eyes returned to sanity. She suddenly asked, "What happened?"

"Are you a mascot and a pervert?" Mike asked while looking at her eyes with disgust.

"What?" Only after hearing his words, she remembered what she did. She remembered herself moaning whenever he smacks her butt. After that, she started moaning even harder like bitch. That made her extremely embarrassed.

Suddenly, Mike pressed his hand on her shoulder and made a straight face "There is no need to be shy about it. Everyone has their own ideas and behavior. I felt like you were holding on for a long time. That's why your reactions were very loud and seductive."

"Next time, don't bury your desires. Let them come out. If you don't have any problems then I can help you release them."

Bang!

"Shut up! I am not a mascot." Luo Zemin shouted as she punched his stomach.

But, she couldn't even shake him. He stood there as nothing happened and said "You do realize that you can't punch an ordinary person like that."

"Alright! Let's get to the point. I tested you because I had something that I wanted to ask you." Luo Zemin spoke as she withdrew her fist from his stomach. Her eyes cast a serious look as she narrowed her pupil.

Mike nods his head as he got attentive to her. He was already attentive now his gaze felt even weirder. But, she didn't care. She took out a badge and gave it to him while saying "Join Invincible Sword Sect!"

Mike was shaken by her words. The reason was pretty simple. This plot was too darn similar to every other plot he has read. MC trying to enter the sect without talent for cultivation and got chosen to the lowest ranking sect.

Yes, Invincible Sword Sect was the lowest ranking sect. Even though nobody really can destroy this sect, people do not choose this sect. Because you need to have a strong sword belief to join this sect along with strong talent.

And, very few people can actually get a chance. In fact, this sect has no more than ten disciples which are pretty negligible to ten thousand – twenty thousand population of other sects. That's why this sect is ranked at the lowest again other sects during the Kingdom's Competitions.

Mike was pretty interested in this sect but he was skeptical about being chosen. He didn't understand her reasons but he didn't deny them at once. He thought for a moment and said "You do know that I don't have spiritual root, right?"

"Yep," Luo Zemin nods her head.

"And, you are still actively asking me to join?" Mike looked at her strangely and asked.

"Yep," Luo Zemin nods her head once again.

"You are not asking me to join you for chores, are you?" Mike gave her the same look and asked.

"Nope!" Luo Zemin shook her head.

"Then, how do you expect me to cultivate?" Mike asked because this was the same question that was bothering him for a while.

"You don't love any specific weapon, do you?" Luo Zemin didn't reply instantly instead asked him with a curious gaze.

"I do use a spear for hunting. But, most of the time, I rely on the fist." Mike asked as he clenched his fingers and raised his hand.

"Oh! That's great! Join Invincible Sword Sect and we'll teach you how to cultivate." Luo Zemin clasped her hand with a smile. Her beautiful smile was captivating but Mike was still confused.

"You can?" Mike looked at her with confused look thinking 'Don't tell me she has some artificial spirit roots with her? But, are artificial spirit roots cabbages? Man, even cabbages prices are starting to rise. Those greedy cooks! They used to put few pieces of cabbage in my chowmein.'

But, soon he shook his head as he came out to reality. He waited for the answer but Luo Zemin only nods her. He looked at me suspiciously and asked, "You won't tell me until I join, do you?"

Luo Zemin didn't say anything and just showed a big smile. Mike sighed and nods his head. Getting his answer, Luo Zemin clasped her hands and jumped up with a loud "Yay!"

"Alright, can you tell me now?" Mike asked as he saw her reaction. It felt as if he had given her a teddy bear.

Luo Zemin and suddenly released her white qi. It formed a barrier around them as she continued "Since you don't have any knowledge about the cultivation. Should I start from the beginning?"

Mike nods his head and she continued "Cultivation is the path towards heaven. Our world lies between Heaven and Earth. Heaven is the home to the celestial beings while the earth is the home of evil spirits and ghosts."

'Fuck you! Earth is my hometown. It doesn't have any evil spirits and ghosts.' Mike raised their middle finger in his mind and cursed Luo Zemin. But, he didn't stop her.

"Between Heaven and Earth, there is special energy known as spiritual qi. This spiritual qi is the source of cultivation. Every human is born with dantian. It is the most sacred place of the human body. It can hold spiritual qi and slowly evolve our body."

"It also holds special roots known as spiritual roots. Most people tend to have spiritual roots. Among them, some have better spiritual roots while some have worst. It all starts with the ability of spiritual roots to absorb qi and transform essence."

"You see, spiritual qi might be the source of cultivation. It is only the form of energy that we need for the attack, defense, or anything else related to martial arts. But, for the evolution of the human body, we need essence."

"Spiritual Roots transform spiritual qi into essence. Our body absorbs this essence and increases our lifespan. In each major realm or minor stage breakthrough, our spiritual roots release an immense amount of essence that we can absorb and use to improve our cultivation."

"But, one can't simply waste resources on a person for years to see the result. That's why people developed a way to check others' talent. When one reaches the peak of Grandmaster Realm, he can inject the qi inside other's body and sense their spiritual root."

"Of course, you can also sense your own spiritual root by the speed of absorption. But, this way is faster. There are four levels. Heaven, Earth, Spirit, and Yellow. Heaven Spiritual Roots have four roots coming out of it."

"Earth Spiritual Roots have three roots coming out of it. Spirit has two and Yellow has one. If there is not a single root, then that means he doesn't have a spiritual root. Most people have Yellow Spiritual Roots. If four is the total number of people having yellow spiritual roots then two will be the total number of people having spirit spiritual roots."

"Then, one will be the total number of people having earth spiritual roots while 0.5 would be the total number of people having earth spiritual roots. Of course, a number of people without spiritual roots is equal to the people having earth spiritual roots."

"The village near us is one of them. They nearly have a population of hundred to two hundred and do not have anyone with spiritual roots. After the spiritual roots, there is something else that you must learn. It is about cultivation technique, martial arts, and secret arts while including treasures and weapons."

"Cultivation Techniques are the manual that records different sorts of breathing and meditation moves which allows us to call the spiritual qi around us. Only then our spiritual roots can absorb the spiritual qi. Cultivation Technique also grants us specific elemental power in a certain realm."

"They also grant various powers. Cultivation Techniques can be completely different from one another. Like yours! The reason you would be able to cultivate is a cultivation technique that our sect has. It's called ...….."
