After entering the Small Thousand World and occupying the Biyuan Realm, Su Ping had learned from the memories of Mu Cangtian about the Five Elements Realm possessing the art of grafting spiritual bodies.
Thinking of his relatives and disciples on Water Blue Star,
Su Ping started to pay attention to this inheritance.
After obtaining the Mu Family’s knowledge of clan inheritance, Su Ping understood the underlying principles and various techniques.
And after acquiring the Primordial Spirits of several ancestors, including the Mu Family Ancestor,
upon returning to the Biyuan Realm, Su Ping then placed the Primordial Spirits of these ancestors into the bronze pagoda to suppress them.
He also used the Nightmare Giant Snake to help with the Dream Entry Technique to continuously extract fragments of their memories, from which he learned more detailed grafting techniques.
Although he had not yet practiced,
with the collective heritage of so many families at his disposal, just in terms of theoretical knowledge,
Su Ping was already the foremost expert in the Five Elements Realm.
The technique was in place, and the materials were ready.
This time the disciples of several major families he had collected in the Five Elements Realm,
were, strictly speaking, his captives.
It was common in the Immortal Cultivation World for descendants to be implicated when ancestors were punished.
After all, if those descendants had ever benefited from clan resources, no matter how little, they were considered to have accepted the clan’s benevolence.
Naturally, they should also bear the clan’s disasters.
For these once-high-ranking family descendants in the Five Elements Realm,
among them, there were not a few who had grafted Lower Realm Spirit Roots.
This meant that there was a significant absolute number of those with Middle-Upper Grade Spirit Roots among them.
Others had Spiritual Bodies, though very few, each family still had several.
Su Ping wasn’t surprised by this.
These big families, when encountering cultivators with Spiritual Bodies but poor backgrounds, aside from considering cost-effectiveness for grafting, would also offer to marry them into the family.
Later, they would provide them with a mass of special Spiritual Medicines and unique cultivation methods.
At the expense of degrading their Spiritual Body and Spirit Root qualities, they would exhaust the cultivator day and night, manufacturing offspring for the family.
These cultivators, who would naturally live hundreds of years or even a thousand years if they achieved a high enough level of cultivation,
would, under such exploitation, mostly be exhausted and die within two to three hundred years.
Their Spiritual Bodies and Spirit Roots would degrade to even worse than Low Grade.
Under such methods, it was quite common for the family to acquire one or two descendants with Spiritual Bodies nearly equivalent to the original.
In the records of the Mu Family, in the last hundred years, there were even born four Mu Family geniuses with Spiritual Bodies,
which made the Mu Family Ancestor laugh heartily for a long time, which was quite rare for him.
Su Ping maintained a smile about this.
After all, these Mu Family geniuses had now become raw materials in his hands.
Of course, compared to the even more brutal traditional methods of dealing with enemies in the Immortal Cultivation World,
Su Ping was relatively more merciful.
By taking away these geniuses, who are currently only in the late stages of Foundation Establishment to the early stages of the Golden Core,
he had promised to spare their lives, allowing them to work with other disciples in the Artifact Refining Factory and in the Refining Room.
As long as they accepted their fate, they were likely to live out their natural lives and then be reincarnated in the Netherworld to continue working...
"According to the introduction, this act of defying the heavens and changing fate will cause anomalies between heaven and earth, even prompting the consciousness of the Small World to instinctively unleash thunderbolt."
"However, I am doing this in the Pot Cave Heaven."
"It seems that it is not considered a problem here."
Su Ping activated the grand grafting array and looked at the sky, which remained clean and pure.
Reassured, Su Ping then stripped the Spiritual Body and Spirit Root from one of the Mu Family geniuses.
Then, like performing a surgery that must be absolutely precise, he grafted it onto Zhou Xuan’s Divine Soul.
The entire process involved over nine thousand steps and tens of thousands of magic and Taoist knowledge.
No wonder it was required that only a cultivator with at least a Primordial Spirit was capable of performing this secret technique.
It looked complicated.
But with Su Ping’s Primordial Spirit exhibiting the Thousand-Armed Thousand-Handed Divine Power,
almost ten thousand hovering arms simultaneously went into action,
as if thousands of Su Ping’s Primordial Spirits were operating at the same time.
Within the time it took to burn one joss stick,
the Mu Family genius’s Spiritual Body and Spirit Root had been successfully grafted onto Zhou Xuan.
"This Mu Family genius possessed a Fire-controlling Spirit Body and top-grade Spirit Root."
"He was the most talented cultivator among those who survived the Mu Family."
"After being stripped by me, he has now become an inferior spiritual root cultivator, and his cultivation has also fallen from the early Golden Core to the Middle Period of Foundation Establishment."
inferior spirit root, he should not even think about breaking through in cultivation in this lifetime, and even the speed of accumulating mana is not sufficient to perform Foundation Establishment spells."
"Fortunately, the physical strength hasn’t reduced much, so he should still be able to be a good laborer."
Although thinking this, for these outstanding enemies among the captives, Su Ping habitually injected them with the now enhanced version of the Netherworld Blood Divine Seal,
as a precaution, in case he encountered any Child of Destiny, it would be better to be aware early and strike preemptively.
The grafting performed by Zhou Xuan this time was also considered a great success.
The Fire-controlling Spirit Body retained 70% of its original capabilities, and the Spirit Root was of top-grade leaning to upper quality.
Compared to many others recorded who fell one or two great realms, this was very good.
Only after actually operating it,
did Su Ping realize that this grafting technique, if seriously discussed, did not fundamentally change the original body of the recipient as he had imagined.
It was more like turning someone else’s Spiritual Body and Spirit Root into an item, then equipping it onto the recipient’s body.
This grafted Spiritual Body and Spirit Root, therefore, lost all potential for growth.
From then on, their limit was fixed, and no matter how many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were used, they could only reduce wear and slow the decline in quality.
Naturally, it was not recognized by the Star Spirit Fish as a genuine Spiritual Body.
