You’re Cultivating Immortality, So Why Use Your Fire Spirit Root to Upgrade Your Wood Spirit Root?

Xu Bing transmigrates to a world of immortal cultivation. As a student at the Arcane Academy, he refuses to let his dream of cultivating immortality be crushed by his Five-Element Spirit Root.

If the Five-Element Spirit Root is broken, then he will reshape it.

Xu Bing, a cultivator himself, understands the interactions between the Five Elements better than anyone.

He uses his Fire Spirit Root to ignite his Wood Spirit Root and burn it to ashes. Fire generates Earth, strengthening his Earth Spirit Root. But why can the spiritual energy of the Earth Spirit Root explode?

He compresses his Earth Spirit Root, then washes and filters it with his Water Spirit Root. Earth generates Metal, strengthening his Metal Spirit Root. But why is his Metal Spirit Root an alloy?

Then Water overcomes Fire, and Fire overcomes Metal. With the energy of Lesser Yin, Metal generates Water. He burns his Metal Spirit Root with his Fire Spirit Root to strengthen his Water Spirit Root, and ends up with a Molten Iron Spirit Root?

He repeats the process with all five elements.

Many years later.

When Xu Bing fires a sword aura that blows an entire continent to pieces, a mighty cultivator looks up and asks, "What kind of spirit root is that?"

Xu Bing replies, "The formula for electrolyzing water gives you hydrogen and oxygen. I merely modified my spirit roots while undergoing tribulation. There's no need to panic."

The mighty cultivators of the immortal world are completely baffled.
