My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration Chapter 206

Lu Qingdai's situation was not complicated. She had only absorbed the spiritual qi that she could not withstand and caused her meridians to be blocked.

If it was an ordinary cultivator, even if it was an initial-stage Qi Refinement cultivator, he could slowly circulate and refine them with the spiritual qi of his cultivation method.

It was not a problem at all.

Unfortunately, Lu Qingdai was just a mortal. Not to mention spiritual qi, she did not even have a spiritual root.

Jiang Li reached out and pressed her forehead, and pure wood attribute spiritual qi carefully entered.

As expected, the meridians in this body were densely packed with tiny crystals. These were the spiritual qi accumulated in her body.

This was because the quality of high-grade spiritual qi was too high. After pouring in a large amount of it, it could not be expelled, so it directly condensed into a crystal, becoming a life-threatening thing.

Jiang Li flipped Lu Qingdai over again and pulled open the back of her collar a little. He looked at the back of the young woman and saw that there was no longer any fairness or smoothness. Indeed, there was already blood clots there.

If this was on a dead person, it would be called livor mortis.

It was precisely that spiritual qi that blocked her meridians and caused this phenomenon because her blood qi was weak.

As a mere mortal, she could survive after soaking in the spiritual qi of the Heaven-grade room. This girl was really lucky.

It was actually very simple to save her. As long as he removed all these spiritual qi crystals, this person would be fine.

However, the problem was that her body was too weak. If he used a spell to forcefully strip it, it would hurt her. This would cause her life, which was already on the verge of death, to directly wither away.

Therefore, at this time, he could change a method. He could give her a spiritual root and let her become a cultivator.

He opened his mouth and stuffed the precious spiritual root seed into Lu Qingdai's mouth.

The small seed disappeared the moment it entered her stomach. There did not seem to be any obvious changes on Lu Qingdai's body, but in this body, a brand new spiritual root was growing healthily.

The growth of the spiritual root required spiritual qi. Without spiritual qi, one would be like those children back then and directly fall unconscious.

Now, the spiritual qi crystals in her body were the best nutrients for the spiritual root seed to sprout.

However, wait what?

Through the senses of the Nine Nether clone, Jiang Li seemed to have discovered something.

When this artificial spiritual root grew, it seemed to feel a little different.

It did not feel like it was planted in a useless seed. Instead, it felt like the time Jiang Li had consumed the spiritual root seed and made his spiritual root grow.

Could it be that Lu Qingdai's body actually had a spiritual root?

The Nine Nether Wood's main body was right beside him. It could sense the seeds that he had distributed. It was not to the extent where it would make too much of a mistake.

There was clearly another spiritual root where the artificial spiritual root took root.

Was this Lu Qingdai not a useless seed? Or rather, she was not completely useless.

However, from the blurry perspective of the spiritual root, he discovered that the spiritual root in Lu Qingdai's body seemed to be broken…?

Was this a congenital deficiency, or was it torn apart by someone after birth?

Jiang Li had the Nine Nether clone, so he knew that there was actually a way in this world to seize a cultivator's spiritual root.

When the Nine Nether Wood created a spiritual root seed, it could absorb the spiritual root of cultivators to greatly increase this speed.

This was the first time he had seen a spiritual root break. Perhaps there was a secret behind it.

However, this temporarily had nothing to do with Jiang Li. The broken spiritual root was clearly of no value. If she could not cultivate, she would still be a useless seed in the end.

In order to have an immediate effect, Jiang Li even provided a cultivation base at the first level of Qi Refinement into the spiritual root.

Although this bit of cultivation was not enough to condense the Nine Nether Earth Fruit, it was enough to help her directly become a Qi Refinement cultivator.

As long as she had the cultivation level of the first-stage Qi Refinement realm, this originally fatal spiritual qi crystal would no longer cause any problems.

The only problem now was that after consuming the spiritual root seed, the artificial spiritual root would grow from nothing and convert its energy into the host's cultivation. This process would take a few days.

However, the couple outside might not have the patience to wait for so long.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li controlled the spiritual root seed that had yet to completely take root and slowly crawled to the center of the broken spiritual root. He connected both ends and connected the two spiritual roots.

When the spiritual roots connected, a different aura immediately emitted from Lu Qingdai's body.

A suction force emerged from her Qi Sea, slowly and firmly absorbing the spiritual qi crystal in her body.

The two broken spiritual roots greatly accelerated the process of the artificial spiritual root taking root, making it much easier.

Jiang Li was still afraid that she would absorb the cultivation base too slowly. The Nine Nether clone was still assisting from the side, accelerating the growth and absorption of the spiritual root seed.

15 minutes… 30 minutes… 45 minutes passed…

Swoosh!

In a short period of time, this originally useless seed directly entered the Qi Refinement realm without cultivating any cultivation methods or even consciousness, becoming an initial-stage Qi Refinement realm cultivator.

In fact, after absorbing the remaining spiritual qi crystals in her body, her cultivation level had already reached the second level of Qi Refinement.

After waking up from her sleep, she would realize that she had reached the Qi Refinement realm. This was really a miracle. Truly, one would definitely be blessed after surviving a calamity.

"Mm~ Xiao Die~ Xiao Die~ I want to drink water."

At this moment, such a weak voice sounded from the bed.

The originally unconscious Lu Qingdai's eyelids suddenly twitched. She called out to her maidservant and was about to wake up.

Jiang Li was sharp-eyed and agile. With a wave of his hand, his spiritual qi swept over and restored the other party's clothes to their original state. After that, he stood at the side like an otherworldly expert.

The senses of a Nascent Soul cultivator were extremely sharp. Lu Zhengyang, who was outside, heard his daughter's voice immediately.

The couple was immediately overjoyed. They did not care about anything else and directly broke in, stirring up a gust of wind as they rushed to the side of the bed.

"Ah, Father, Mother, what are you doing?"

Lu Qingdai was captured and checked for a while. Her expression was dumbfounded. Clearly, she did not understand the situation.

She did not even know that she had been unconscious for four days and three nights. She only knew that she had gone to Green Mountain Residence behind her family's back and that she felt refreshed after waking up.

"Qingdai, Qingdai, you're awake. You're really fine. We were really frightened to death these past few days!"

Tears immediately flowed out of the City Lord's wife's eyes as she hugged Lu Qingdai and explained what had happened after she fainted.

There was concern and anger. Clearly, they had deep feelings for this daughter.

Jiang Li did not want to disturb their family reunion, so he tactfully retreated from inside.

On the other hand, Lu Zhengyang was quite calm. After checking that Lu Qingdai was indeed safe, he walked out of the room and cupped his hands in thanks to the Nine Nether clone.

"Benefactor, you are a great talent. I, Lu Zhengyang, thank you for saving my daughter's life. I hope that Benefactor will not take my previous disrespect to heart."

A Nascent Soul cultivator bowed to a Golden Core cultivator. This scene stunned the group of medical cultivators outside.

What… What was going on?

Green Mountain Ascetic had really cured Lu Qingdai! He actually had this ability! Unbelievable!

The group of medical practitioners wanted to know what method Jiang Li had used to save such a troublesome patient.

However, now was not the time to disturb him. In this era, lineage was very important. It was very impolite to pry into other people's secret techniques.

"City Lord Lu, you praise me too much. This is my duty."

Jiang Li was very humble in the face of City Lord Lu's gratitude.

"You're too polite. However, why does my daughter have this cultivation level?"

With the ability of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was naturally not difficult to see Lu Qingdai's current situation. However, what method could allow a mortal without a spiritual root to possess a Qi Refinement cultivation in such a short period of time? It was simply unbelievable.

This was clearly not the effect of some secret technique.

"Actually, it's nothing much. City Lord, do you remember the two cultivators who discovered the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm first?"

"They actually still have other goods hidden. A few days ago, someone came to Green Mountain Residence to secretly sell me a spiritual material. It's a spiritual root treasure that can change fate."

"However, this matter cannot be revealed to others. City Lord, please keep it a secret for me."

Jiang Li pushed the effect of the spiritual root seed to the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm. That place could grow something like a Dao Foundation Fruit, so it was easier to accept a spiritual root fruit.

In addition, even if outsiders knew, it was actually nothing.

After consuming it, one could grow a spiritual root.

Although it could change one's fate, it was not as popular as one could imagine.

After all, it could only help mortals, so cultivators did not need it much. How much could mortals pay?

Only this kind of useless people in a cultivator clan had a strong demand for this kind of spiritual material and could offer a certain price.

However, with the status of a Golden Core cultivator, it was enough to obtain this benefit.

Of course, if he exposed the effect of increasing cultivation base and adding lifespan, he would be in big trouble.

City Lord Lu naturally did not disagree with Jiang Li's request for secrecy. He even took the initiative to express his thanks to Green Mountain Ascetic to make up for his loss.

Consuming a spiritual root seed resolved the trouble in the City Lord's Mansion and obtaining the support of a Nascent Soul cultivator was not a loss.

However, in a corner not far away, the servant of the City Lord's Mansion revealed a vicious gaze.

On the flying ship of the Scripture Storage Valley, Jiang Li opened his eyes. This matter was resolved unexpectedly smoothly.

City Lord Lu did not go back on his words. Then, he held a grand apprenticeship banquet in the Nightless City. Green Mountain Ascetic immediately became the esteemed guest of the City Lord's Mansion after that problematic ordeal.

Jiang Li was still satisfied with such an outcome. The situation was unstable these days, so having more friends was better than having more enemies.

Later on, when dealing with the underwater graveyard, a Nascent Soul cultivator was also a huge help.

Just as Jiang Li was calculating how to deal with the other Spiritual Root Branch…

Beside him, the light coming through the porthole suddenly dimmed. Jiang Li turned around and saw a shattered wooden board floating past the porthole.

Floating wooden planks?

Jiang Li realized something and immediately ran to the deck.

There were already quite a number of people standing here. The sect elders were also staring at the front. Everyone's expressions were solemn and worried.

In front of the flying ship was the wreckage of the flying ship floating in the sky.

However, not many cultivators came from Nightless City.

The flying ship slowly approached, and the ominous feeling finally became reality.

The flying ship had already completely disintegrated, but because of the floating runes carved on the ship, before the spiritual qi was exhausted, these remains would float in the air like now.

On top of these ruins were the markings of the Scripture Storage Valley!

The air was still filled with the sharp aura of metal attribute spiritual qi. It had not been long since the attack.

"It's those two sword cultivators again!"

The elder beside him gritted his teeth in anger. The disciples and flying ship of the sect had been killed just like that.

How many years had it been since someone dared to challenge the authority of the Scripture Storage Valley like this!

"This place was attacked not long ago. The murderers might be nearby. Search for the injured and quickly pass through!" One of the elders ordered.

Although he wanted to kill the other party and avenge his fellow sect members, from the intelligence, the other party were two Golden Cores.

It was not something that the current members of this ship could deal with.

Jiang Li and his fellow disciples flew into the wreckage and quickly searched the nearby ground.

Unfortunately, they did not find any survivors. In fact, they did not even discover the existence of the corpse.

Wherever Zuo Mo and Zuo Luo, two Golden Core cultivators, wreaked havoc, they were usually accompanied by mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and the remains of severed limbs. They had never had the habit of cleaning up corpses, so this phenomenon was a little abnormal.

While Jiang Li was puzzled, the Wood Dragon Rayquaza beneath him suddenly felt uneasy, as if it had discovered something.

The wooden dragon carried Jiang Li and circled around a few pieces of wood.

It seemed to hate those few pieces of wood very much.

Jiang Li also felt that it was strange. Rayquaza usually had the typical Wood Demon personality. It was slow-witted and loved to sleep. If it did not have Jiang Li's orders, it could sleep in the soil until the end of time.

However, at this moment, the wooden dragon became abnormally irritable.

Jiang Li grabbed a wooden board and was about to study it.

However, the place that Jiang Li grabbed was like tofu residue. With a light squeeze, it directly shattered into wood residue.

The materials needed to build the flying ship were all hard spiritual wood materials. It was true that Jiang Li's strength was great, but it was definitely not so easy to achieve this.

Jiang Li grabbed a slightly larger piece of debris. After grabbing it with his hand, he gently broke it open, and the entire piece of debris immediately shattered into more than ten pieces. Moreover, a strand of smelly black qi floated out from within!

This matter was indeed not so simple!

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment before the black mist vanished, and he leaned forward and sucked it into his mouth.

[Absorbed the Fire Poison Pill Qi. Added Status: Five Internal Organs Pill Flame.]

[Due to Golden Core Protection, Detoxification, Fire Resistance, and Poison Resistance statuses, the effects of the Five Internal Organs Pill Flame are resisted.]

[Five Internal Organs Pill Flame: Burns the five internal organs with Pill Flame. 2 Health Points will be deducted every second. Duration: 30 minutes] (− +)

A familiar burning sensation arose in Jiang Li's internal organs, and it was accompanied by intense pain that was like a poisonous fire burning his organs!

Logically speaking, Jiang Li had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm and had a Dao Foundation to protect his body. His resistance should be far greater than before. However, the fire poison qi that had previously been unable to injure him at all could already burn his internal organs at this moment!

When he saw this situation, Jiang Li immediately understood that they had been too presumptuous earlier.

Due to the frequent attacks of the two Shu Mountain cultivators and the golden attribute spiritual qi, they subconsciously thought that it was the so-called sword cultivators of the Zuo family.

However, the truth was that everything here was not done by Golden Core sword cultivators. It was all done by one of the top righteous path disciples, the Hundred Tempering Mountain!

Accompanied by the vicious pill fire, Jiang Li's anger was also burning fiercely!

Needless to say, this sect's merchant ship had blocked a calamity for them.

In the Nightless City, when they captured these Golden Tooth Sect cultivators, they were indeed a little careless.

At that time, when he had heard that news, he had only thought that stalling would lead to trouble. He had to quickly report it to the sect.

However, now that he thought about it, this had happened in public. These disciples had been captured by them, and one of them was the son of the sect master. However, until they took him away, no elders of the Golden Tooth Sect came to negotiate.

Evidently, they had reported this to the Hundred Tempering Mountain. They planned to use their own methods to solve this problem.

That was to silence the group!

Without evidence, they only had to deal with the Scripture Storage Valley. If Jiang Li and the others brought the witnesses back to the sect and convinced the other two sects, that would be the true trouble.

Therefore, at the price of completely offending the Scripture Storage Valley, the people of the Hundred Tempering Mountain still decisively chose to attack.

They had cleaned up the scene very well and even forged many traces of sword techniques.

Even the elders of the Scripture Storage Valley and Jiang Li were kept in the dark at the beginning.

However, the Wood Dragon Rayquaza was born from the pill poison of the Hundred Tempering Mountain's alchemist. It was extremely sensitive to that aura. Even though there was only a trace of poisonous gas left at the scene, it was still found.

After removing the poison status, Jiang Li relied on Rayquaza and found a few pieces of the ship that were still filled with poison. He carefully gathered these things and returned to the flying ship.

Due to the fact that the enemy might still be watching them covetously, Jiang Li and the others could only abandon the wreckage and leave.

In the subsequent journey, they changed their route and would rather slow down and fly in the clouds than fly above them.

Fortunately, there was no danger. The flying ship they rode finally arrived at the sect safely.
