Chapter 39: The Fusion of Five Elements, Setting a Precedent for All Time
When Shen Rugo saw Qian Youdao's head stuck in the stinking ditch, his legs kicking in the air like fluttering moths, she couldn't help but laugh.
Laughter, like silver bells, echoed across the entire hillside.
Everyone else stared with their mouths agape, especially Zhang Shiduo's lackeys, whose expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.
They waited outside Shen Rugo's villa for many days, hoping she would come out so they could test her skill level and abilities.
This was a task assigned to them by Zhang Shiduo, but they never expected such a thing to happen, and no one dared to step forward anymore.
Shen Rugo hurried to the canteen, carrying ten days' worth of steamed buns, and rushed back.
As soon as she entered the villa, a figure suddenly appeared beside her, and then, with a "rip," the person tore off her colorful dress.
Shen Rugo was startled. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was none other than Qinghe Daoren.
"Uncle-Master, what brings you here? And why are you pulling on my skirt?"
Qinghe Daoist didn't care about any of that and was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Little Ancestor, Zhang Shiduo has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. Many inner disciples are betting on him to win, and some inner disciples are even doing their best to help him."
In addition, he has a cultivation family behind him, with resources so abundant they could be piled up like mountains.
He has a very good chance of reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining before the competition.
"Look at you, you're still only at the second level of Qi Refining, not even at the third level yet."
As the colorful skirt was torn off, Shen Rugo's cultivation level was exposed to Qinghe Daoist.
Qinghe Daoren jumped up like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.
"It's just the third level of Qi Refining, Uncle-Master. Don't worry, I'll break through soon!"
Shen Rugo blinked and looked at Qinghe Daoren, who was so anxious he was about to burst into tears, and calmly comforted him.
"But my little ancestor, that little rascal is already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he's going to try to break through to the fifth level!"
"Fifth level of Qi Refining, is that impressive?"
"Whether he's powerful or not, it's not something someone at the third level of Qi Refining can win against! After all, there are two levels between them."
"Uncle-Master, rest assured, for our grand plan to make a fortune, I will not let my guard down. I will go all out and defeat him!"
Shen Rugo remained calm and composed.
"Are you really confident you can cross two realms?"
There are many geniuses who can fight across realms, and some can even fight across two realms.
But it seems that no one has ever defeated a Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator who is two levels above the Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator.
"Uncle-Master, I am absolutely confident. You can go ahead and do it without worry."
"Really?"
“It really works!”
"That's great! I knew you were the most amazing child."
"Uncle-Master, tell me about the task I entrusted to you. How is it going?"
Qinghedao immediately became overjoyed, gesturing wildly and recounting his recent exploits as if presenting a treasure:
"You have no idea, this time I've dragged the sect leader into this mess. In the past twenty days or so, he's led several peak masters to practically traverse the entire northwest corner of the Tianyuan Continent..."
After listening, Shen Rugo gave a thumbs up: "Well done, Martial Uncle! I have high hopes for you, you have a bright future!"
This hype will definitely cause a sensation and arouse the curiosity of countless people, and she will definitely make a fortune.
There is strength in numbers, and money is easier to make with a large group.
"My little darling, you absolutely mustn't let your martial uncle down! You have to win this time, you absolutely have to win!"
Qinghe Daoren looked at Shen Rugo with a hopeful expression, appearing pitiful.
"Alright, Uncle-Master, continue preparing as I instructed. I'll give you a surprise! It's just the fifth level of Qi Refining!"
Shen Rugo smiled and pushed Qinghe Daoren out of the small villa.
Now, we must focus on cultivation and break through to the third level of Qi Refining, lest we fail and all our efforts be in vain.
After so many days, the spiritual energy of the five spiritual roots has basically reached a balance, and each attribute has reached the peak of the second level of Qi Refining.
"It's time to break through. Let's break through to the third level of Qi Refining first!"
Shen Rugo was incredibly generous, devouring five steamed buns and two spirit fruits, and even holding one of the top-grade, glittering spirit stones that Chen Tianba had given her in each of her left and right hands.
These top-grade spirit stones contain a large amount of spiritual energy, and all five elements of energy—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are present.
When the self-created unique technique was activated, the rich spiritual energy seemed to have found its home, flowing from the spirit stone into the palm and along the meridians into the dantian.
Within the dantian, the five spiritual energies, based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, rapidly circulated, continuously decomposing and absorbing their respective attributes.
Half an hour later, the two spirit stones turned to ashes.
"He still hasn't broken through?"
Shen Rugo felt a pang of regret, "Two top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to two thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
But no matter how painful it is, cultivation cannot stop.
He then took out two more top-grade spirit stones and held them in his left and right palms.
An hour later, the Five Elements Diagram in his dantian suddenly trembled.
A flash of white light appeared, and the metal-attribute spiritual root was the first to break through to the third level of Qi Refining, and began to circulate on its own in the dantian.
This is the sign of the third level of Qi Refining, where spiritual energy circulates automatically within the dantian.
Then, a crimson light emanated, and the fire-attribute spiritual energy began to circulate on its own.
Subsequently, the wood, earth, and water elemental energies all began to circulate on their own.
Five beams of light spun rapidly in accordance with the five elements pattern, creating a truly spectacular sight.
As Shen Rugo watched the five beams of light spinning rapidly, a thought suddenly struck her.
What color would it be if these five rays of light were mixed together?
With this thought in mind, he tried to merge the five rays of light.
She was also prepared to quickly separate if things went wrong.
After all, she had suffered a great loss last time; the clash of opposing attributes caused her to spit out blood and faint.
Just as she was trembling with fear, she saw the five rays of light merge together instantly, transforming into a purple light.
At that moment, Shen Rugo felt her limbs filled with boundless power.
"The five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) merged to form a purple light?"
"Could it be another nuclear fusion? This purple light far surpasses the others."
Shen Rugo watched as the purple light within her body circulated on its own. With a thought, she drew spiritual energy into her body.
The spiritual energy flowed along the meridians into the dantian and was rapidly absorbed under the circulation of the purple light.
There was no need for her to decompose the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth attributes of the spiritual energy to their respective spiritual roots. The various attributes contained in this spiritual energy were mostly absorbed by the purple light, exceeding 55%.
"that is really good!"
Shen Rugo cheered immediately.
This is absolutely a big surprise.
As a result, her cultivation speed almost doubled.
After all, cultivating five spiritual roots simultaneously required decomposing attributes to the spiritual roots to draw spiritual energy into the body. Although the absorption rate was high, it was still mentally and physically exhausting.
Now that the five spiritual energies are combined, there is no need to break down their attributes; they are directly absorbed by the purple spiritual energy, which is both refreshing and more than twice as fast.
"Isn't it just the fifth level of Qi Refining?"
"With my current cultivation speed, plus the spirit stones and fruits given by my third and fourth senior brothers, breaking through to the fifth level shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
The hard work and innovation we put in have finally paid off.
Three days later, all the spirit stones were used up.
With a loud boom, Shen Rugo broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!
This is not a case of one spiritual root breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining, but rather five spiritual roots simultaneously breaking through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
In just three days, five people with different spiritual roots broke through to a higher realm simultaneously. If this were to get out, it would surely shock the entire Tianyuan Continent.
Shen Rugo was extremely satisfied.
Overjoyed, Shen Rugo's heart stirred once more.
"The five elements within her body—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—have been blended together, turning her body purple! But she has to go to the arena on the day of the competition. If someone notices this, it will definitely cause trouble."
"The tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind!"
Moreover, there's my cultivation technique, which pioneered the entire Tianyuan Continent's path to cultivation, and my purple spiritual energy.
"It would be best to separate the five spiritual roots when I go into the arena, using only one spiritual root, so that everyone will think that I have only cultivated one spiritual root."
"Even the greatest genius only becomes a true genius when they truly grow up."
Shen Rugo deeply understands the principle of concealing one's talents and developing strength through atrophy.
In a moment of inspiration, he further decomposed the purple spiritual energy into five colors: red, yellow, black, cyan, and white.
Just as she expected, five kinds of spiritual energy circulated in her dantian according to the Five Elements Diagram.
