Once More In The Martial World

Chapter 17

"Wait! For real?", Liu Ye was stunned, he couldn't believe when he looked at his elemental roots. His status bar showed he has two elemental roots, Life essence root and Death essence root. He quickly looked into his body but couldn't find them.

"System are you joking? There's nothing in my body", Liu Ye immediately asked the system in his mind.

[Host, System hid those innate elemental roots with concealing arrays in your body. It's for your safety from others discovering them]

"Okay. I can understand", Liu Ye calmed down.

He can understand why system concealed his elemental roots in his body. Elemental roots are rare in this martial world. Of them Innate elemental roots are extremely rare. These elemental roots are essences of different elements condensed into a Heavenly treasure. These can further grow from acc.u.mulating Qi from heaven and earth. Being independent these elemental roots growth rate is slow, it takes years for their growth. But if it is obtained by any being, combining with them these elemental roots can grow and improve the cultivation and cultivation speed of those who obtained them. It's the best cultivation resource ever for a cultivator.

Because of their advantages many cultivators fight for them. Even if the elemental root is of low quality with time their quality can increase.

Even if the element of the elemental root they possess is different from their cultivation technique, they can exchange them with others. But there's a risk if the news leaks out.

A cultivator can remove a elemental root from a persons body directly in a rude way, but they will cause loss to the essence in the elemental root and might cause the degrading of quality. There are powerful evil skills through which cultivators can forcefully take out the elemental roots from a persons body with up to just five to ten percent of loss of essence from an elemental root.

Innate elemental roots are unique among them. They are formed within the body of a child by birth. These innate elemental roots nourishes a persons body from the starting time of their birth. Most of the time the element of the innate elemental root depends on the element in which the mother of a child cultivates. There are people who use special resources and practice special cultivation techniques to increase the chance for an innate elemental root to form. Even if an elemental root is not formed due to its extreme low rate of success rate, cultivators still try because there's nothing to lose, your child can still become a cultivation talent because of all those rare and special treasures.

Still people can remove these innate elemental roots from a persons body. It's just you can't take from a child because of the essence in the elemental root. There are cases of cultivators raising children with innate elemental roots and when the time comes the elemental root is taken away.

Innate elemental roots are unique since a cultivator can regrow an elemental root with the use of some supreme rare treasures.

And in their future cultivation the innate elemental roots can play a more special role than other elemental roots.

Liu Ye failed to get a elemental root of his own in his previous life.

"System remove the concealing array I want see my elemental roots", Liu Ye urged the system excitedly. Since the system is activated there is no need for this array. And its great luck to have a single innate elemental root, but now he has two innate elemental root and both of these can elements can be rated extreme rare. Now without care for his strength he can remove the array and see them.

[Host, System requires 5000 points for each concealing array and 2 hours time to remove them]

Liu Ye immediately opened the status bar to check for his system points.

system points: 57,692

"Hmm, system aren't my system points too low? and how many years differences is there between my previous life and my present life", Liu Ye immediately asked when he felt the system points are too low. These points are the value of energy the system absorbs every moment. Liu Ye needs this energy to use the system. Even when he is dead it doesn't stop acc.u.mulating the energy. But now they are too low.

[Host most of the points are used for placing the concealing array, it is the highest rank array for concealing and points are also used for activating the Pure Jade Body.

It's been 300 years since your death and rebirth]

"Okay,

Remove the concealing array", Liu Ye immediately asked the system to remove the array.

[Okay, Host]

[Deducting 10000 points]

[Removal of array : 1% ]

Liu Ye thinks it's too cheap for removing the array. Removing the array is too easy but it takes some time according to rank. If you try to destroy an array it might cause serious damages.

Since the system said the concealing array is of the highest rank and also the activation of his physique, he can take the high consumption of points. If his elemental roots aren't concealed, his family might have removed the death essence root and with the rarity of life essence root, even if he was from a top ranked clan he might have faced hidden dangers.

Liu Ye sat there reading a book.

After two hours system removed the concealing array from his body.

[Host the concealing array is removed]

Liu Ye immediately checked his body. He saw two pea sized seed shaped elemental roots together. One is in grey colour, strands of grey coloured Qi are spreading from it slowly corroding the body. Other is in a near transparent colour, strands of it covering the areas passed by the grey Qi and repairing the body. The grey coloured Death essence root and the near transparent Life essence root are placed side by side in his body. With the effect of two or above elemental roots, according to their nature the effects are either they oppose, nullify or nourish the other elemental roots and the body.With the increase in cultivation, flow rate from these elemental roots increases and a cultivator with their cultivation can adopt to these elemental roots with different natures.

Looking at the Death essence root, Liu Ye wondered about the broken sword of the undead beings that pierced through his mothers body when she was pregnant. Its rank should be too high for it to infuse death qi enough to form a elemental root in his body.

He felt his luck was too big for both Death essence root to form from the death qi in the broken sword and Life essence root to form from all those extreme rare treasures used to replenish the Life essence his mother lost. The luckiest thing was for him to survive during that time.

He felt it was the greatest benefit from miseries of his and his mother.
