After entering the Qi Refining Period, Qin Tian had been constantly consolidating his realm and accumulating spiritual energy.

During the Qi refining period, the amount of spiritual energy determines the strength of the strength, and the spiritual energy required for each promotion is several times more than before, and each spell is cast, and a lot of spiritual energy is consumed. This determines that during the Qi refining period, continuous accumulation and refining of Spiritual Qi is an indispensable lesson for every cultivator.

While Qin Tian was constantly accumulating spiritual energy, he spent a lot of time studying the exercises and Taoism in the inheritance jade slips.

He found that although he had now reached the minimum requirements for cultivating these exercises, he could not practice them all. There are many reasons for this problem, but one of the main ones is the property problem.

When a cultivator cultivates, he can only choose exercises and Taoism that are consistent with his attributes to cultivate, otherwise he will not only fail to succeed, but may even cause attribute conflicts and go mad.

There is a saying in the inheritance jade slip: "Heaven and earth are chaotic, yin and yang are born and the five elements are derived, and those who have the root of the innate five elements are the spiritual roots." ”

Therefore, the spiritual root has the theory of the five elements of the spiritual root, which belongs to the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. In fact, strictly speaking, in addition to these five elements spirit roots, there are also some xenomorph spirit roots such as ice, thunder, light, darkness, etc., but these xenomorph spirit roots are extremely rare, and they are produced by very chance, and there may not be a single case in the cultivation world for hundreds of years, so they are not well known to people.

Only those who have spiritual roots can become cultivators. Although the spiritual root belongs to the five elements, not everyone has the spiritual root of the five attributes.

Cultivators with ordinary qualifications will generally possess three of these attributes. These three attributes are strong and weak, the strongest of which is its main attribute, also known as the main spiritual root, and the other two are its secondary attributes, also known as the auxiliary spiritual root.

Cultivators with high-grade qualifications generally only possess two attributes. These two attributes are also strong and weak, of which the stronger one is its main attribute, also called the main spiritual root, and the weaker one is the auxiliary attribute, that is, the auxiliary spiritual root.

A cultivator with the highest qualifications only has one attribute, and this only attribute is the main attribute. The reason why the spiritual root with the only attribute is rated as the best qualification is mainly because of its single attribute, and it will not be affected by other attributes when cultivating, so it has a very high affinity for the spiritual power of the same attribute, and the cultivation speed will be several times faster than that of ordinary multi-attribute cultivators.

With the same cultivation time, a cultivator with a single attribute will advance several times faster than a cultivator with multiple attributes, and when breaking through the bottleneck, he will be less affected by other attributes, and the probability of breaking through is greater, so the strength of a cultivator with a single attribute is generally several points higher than that of the same leader.

Since the monks of the xenomorph spirit root are also a single attribute, the xenomorph spirit root is also one of the best spirit roots, and the probability of their appearance is less than that of the five elements spirit root, and there are fewer people who are familiar with it, so it will be more difficult to deal with.

Of course, multi-attribute spiritual root cultivators are not without their advantages, in fact, the biggest advantage of multi-attribute cultivators is that there will be a lot more cultivation options, and the means of opposing the enemy can also be more varied. Moreover, the attributes of the five elements are mutually reinforcing, and cultivators who have the attributes of mutual growth are mostly positive, and the cultivation effect is not much weaker than that of a single attribute.

However, if there are more than three attributes, then its impact on the cultivation effect is very obvious, so the spiritual root with four attributes is called the secondary spiritual root, and the spiritual root with five attributes is simply called the pseudo spiritual root.

The problem Qin Tian was encountering now was that he didn't know how many attribute spiritual roots he possessed, which made it impossible for him to choose a specific cultivation method.

Usually, the formal cultivation sect will have a magic weapon for testing the attributes of the spiritual root, and before the cultivator enters the school, it will be tested so that it can be cultivated according to different levels. But Qin Tian didn't have a sect at all, no, it should be said that he was the head of the sect, but unfortunately, he couldn't return to the sect's station, and was accidentally thrown into this unfamiliar area, so he couldn't test his spiritual root attributes.

However, these difficulties were not difficult for Qin Tian, and after some thought, he came up with the stupidest but most effective method to test his spiritual root attributes.

He first selected five kinds from the many Taoist secret books, which were the basic defensive Dao technique of the gold system "Golden Bell Jar", the basic binding Dao technique of the wood system "Mu Teng Technique", the basic attack Dao technique of the water system "Water Dragon Technique", the basic attack Dao technique of the fire system "Huo Jiao Technique", and the basic escape Dao technique of the earth system "Earth Escape Technique".

Then, Qin Tian began to spend time trying to cultivate, his logic was very simple, since only Dao techniques with the same attributes could be successfully cultivated, then, I would spend some time cultivating all five Dao techniques with different attributes, which one could be successfully cultivated, it would indicate which one of his attributes was, or which ones.

As a result, after nearly half a month of cultivation, the results finally came out. However, after getting the results, Qin Tian's face was not good-looking, because he had successfully cultivated all five primary Dao techniques, and the time he spent on each Dao technique was actually the same, which showed that Qin Tian's spiritual root belonged to the pseudo-spiritual root with all the attributes of the five elements, and it was also the best among the pseudo-spiritual roots, that is, the pseudo-spiritual root of the five elements balance that had no primary and secondary attributes. With such a result, how could Qin Tian's face be so good?

"How could this be?" Qin Tian was puzzled, it stands to reason that his cultivation speed was no worse than that of ordinary cultivators recorded in the exercises, but why was the result of the test like this?

When Qin Tian took out the inheritance jade slip again and studied it carefully, he finally discovered the problem, which turned out to be due to the question of the exercise "Twelve Meridian Wheels".

The Twelve Meridian Wheels secret method is the core cultivation method of Jian Chen's sect, it is one of the top cultivation techniques in the Tianyun Continent, and it can make the cultivation speed of monks who practice this exercise twelve times faster than ordinary monks.

And after Qin Tian cultivated, his cultivation speed was not as fast as in the exercise records, and the speed he showed was only a little faster than that of ordinary monks. Qin Tian hadn't noticed this problem before, but now when he found out that he was actually carrying the Five Elements Spirit Root, he realized that something was wrong. It turned out that his own spiritual root attributes were too mixed, so that they slowed down his cultivation progress, otherwise with the help of the "Twelve Meridian Wheels" exercises, his strength would have improved rapidly.

After accepting the fact that he had the Five Elements Spiritual Root, Qin Tian's mood calmed down again, and he now had to think about his next plan.

First of all, although his theoretical cultivation speed was several times slower than that of ordinary cultivators due to the drag of the Five Elements Spiritual Root, due to the power of the "Twelve Meridian Wheels" exercises, his true cultivation speed was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators, and he could even compete with cultivators with dual-attribute spiritual roots, so he didn't have to worry about the fact that he had the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.

Secondly, in fact, the Five Elements Spirit Root is not without benefits to him, the more attributes, the more choices he has, and the more abundant the means against the enemy.
