Chapter 5 - Ch 5: Upgrading the Spiritual Root

As soon as Li Feng was attacked, he immediately attacked that person back. While doing his system's daily missions and practicing to become a cultivator in the future, Li Feng had managed to train his body quite well. So if compared to any other children of his same age, he was definitely stronger than most.

So in no time, Li Feng managed to dominate the person who was attacking him and made his to faint after a chop to his neck. Then he took the bucket that he was given and Li Feng needed to fill this whole bucket up with blood.

This was definitely a tough task for him who had never really killed anyone before. But in the last decade, he was able to make his mind and willpower stronger. Li Feng knew that if he really became a cultivator, he would need to be ruthless. Especially now that he was in a demonic sect, any weakness he showed could become a reason for his death.

So Li Feng took some time to compose his mind and killed this person who had attacked him. There was a chance that he would have been able to collect enough blood without killing this person but Li Feng knew that the main objective of this test was to see which disciples had the ruthless character essential for becoming a demonic cultivator.

So if Li Feng showed mercy to this person, there was a high chance that he would be judged unsuitable for the sect and would then be killed. So Li Feng decided to be ruthless in order to not put his life in any unnecessary danger.

...

After killing this person, he was easily able to gather enough blood to fill that bucket. Then he took that and brought it to a side room where that old demon was waiting. Seeing the bucket full of blood and blood on Li Feng's fists, he smiled for the first time and soaked up all the blood inside his body.

Seeing the smile of the old demon, a chill ran down Li Feng's spine. But he did his best to not react and just stood on his spot calmly. Seeing this that old demon nodded his head at Li Feng with appreciation and gave him a token.

Then he explained that this was a formation control token that would allow him to control the formation of one unused resident of the outer sect. As Li Feng was the first person of this batch to clear this test, he would be given preferable conditions and would be able to choose a house that he liked. For the others, this elder here would just randomly assign them one.

Li Feng bowed to this old demon named Si Lui and left that room from a different door. Then he followed the instructions given by Si Lui and started to go toward the residential area.

On his way he was stopped by a group of disciples but they let his go after seeing his token and learning that Li Feng had just joined the sect and had no useful resources on him.

...

After looking around the residential area for some time, Li Feng chose a house that was located away from most of the other houses in a secluded corner. This was not a very large house but after living in a one room apartment in his student years, Li Feng was already used to small rooms. Compared to that, this house was like a mansion.

Then after registering this house as his own, Li Feng changed into the official dress of the disciple which was just a black robe and went out again. He was going to the resource hall to collect the supplies that all the brand new disciples were given.

...

As Li Feng remembered how he was in this situation, his determination to survive became stronger. He was definitely going to become a great immortal with his system. With that determination in his heart he took out an Ultimate Upgradation token.

From his system Li Feng learnt that the spiritual root he had awakened was a medium grade spiritual root of fire and earth element. It was not a bad spiritual root but it was not amazing either. But that did not matter to Li Feng as with the Ultimate Upgradation card, it would definitely become an extremely powerful spiritual root.

With that anticipation in his heart, he used the card on his spiritual root. Immediately that card disappeared from his hand and his chest felt a warm feeling again. But this time there was no pain but instead Li Feng felt extremely comfortable. The system then started to report the situation in his mind.

"Upgrading the spiritual root with an ultimate grade card."

"Upgradation successful."

"Congratulations host. Your mid grade "Earth-fire Spiritual Root" had transformed into supreme grade "Divine Celestial Spiritual Root"."

Hearing this report Li Feng almost started dancing in joy. The name "Divine Celestial" sounded very awesome. It was definitely a very powerful spiritual root. So Li Feng called for the system interface in his mind and opened the detailed information section of this spiritual root.

[Divine Celestial Spiritual Root: A spiritual root of the highest order. Even great sages are envious of the talent granted by this root. It is capable of practicing any kind of cultivation method no matter what restrictions that has. The owner of this spiritual root is able to produce Celestial Origin Qi and Sacred Divine Qi in one's body. The owner will be almost invincible without a vast disparity between realms.]

After reading the description of the Divine Celestial Spiritual Root, Li Feng was even more happy. It was actually even stronger than he had expected. But he did not know what these Celestial Origin Qi and Sacred Divine Qi were. So next he started to check their descriptions in the system interface.

In the last ten plus years, Li Feng had managed to get a total of 7 Ultimate Upgradation cards from his system. There were very few things that were compatible with this card but Li Feng was looking forward to getting more and more stronger with the help of his amazing system.
