Chapter 1279: Chapter 971: Try Dying Once?
It’s still the familiar loop, Jiang Yuan was already used to it.
Just as he was about to move to a new place and start major construction on the second home, Conch Island, he turned and saw Yun Mo squatting under the Divine Tree, lost in thought. His enormous wings drooped, his expression was melancholic, as if weighed down by heavy thoughts.
Back in spring when they first met, he was the leader of the Ice-winged Eagles in the Foundation Establishment Realm;
Later, he was betrayed and rescued, bound to become a mount. After helping him find a suitable Thunder Element Technique, his cultivation speed indeed increased significantly, and now he was already a Demon Cultivator in the second layer of the Body Forging Realm.
But in the small courtyard, he was always the one at the bottom.
"Yun Mo, what’s wrong?" Jiang Yuan pondered that he might have been too busy and hadn’t communicated emotionally with his mount for a long time, so he stepped forward to ask: "Have you encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation?"
He considered whether to use the Upgrade Card for his mount first, to cheer him up a bit.
The members of the small courtyard all cultivated at a speed that seemed like cheating, so it was inevitable that the big eagle felt pressured.
"Sir, you’re back!" Yun Mo indeed had something on his mind, so much so that he didn’t notice when he walked up to him, and hurriedly greeted him. Then he looked afar at the Divine Mountain where Spiritual Energy swirled, and said sadly: "It’s not a cultivation bottleneck, it’s just that...
Thanks to your kindness, you specially found a compatible Thunder Element Technique for me; and Miss Hu has never despised me, taking me to train in Carefree City, so in theory, my cultivation speed is countless times faster than before, I should be satisfied.
But... sigh! It’s just that my talent is mediocre and my bones are poor. Even with your frequent help, I still feel inadequate.
The elders often say to cultivate with a common heart, and not to compare with others. But in your small courtyard, I am always the one at the end, it’s so embarrassing to think about."
Jiang Yuan glanced at his average quality Spirit Root and lowered his voice: "Well, if you’re not afraid, you could try dying once?"
Yun Mo: !!!
Am I really so useless that the sir wants me to die?
On second thought, no, that shouldn’t be it! The sir has never been the sarcastic or mean type, there must be a reason for saying such a thing.
Seeing his confused face, Jiang Yuan hurriedly explained: "I happen to have a top-grade Thunder Spirit Root here, and I’ll pair it with a top-grade Fire Spirit Root for you, so you can have top-grade Dual Spirit Roots, which will definitely increase your cultivation speed."
However, the prerequisite for changing Spirit Roots is to die once. I’ll revive you after replacing them, but the process of dying might require some courage.
Yun Mo: !!!
Am I still drunk from drinking too much Spiritual Wine?
Or did I accidentally fall asleep while cultivating, and I’m dreaming?
Demon Cultivators dying and disappearing can still come back to life? How is that possible! Spirit Roots aren’t cabbages grown in the ground; how can they be replaced? Absolutely impossible!
No, I must be dreaming. Wake up and stop fantasizing.
"I’m seriously looking for a solution, not lying to you." Jiang Yuan saw he was clearly brain-dead, lowered his voice more, and leaned into the big eagle’s ear and said: "You can quietly ask Xiao Bai, he died once. I replaced his Spirit Root with top-grade Dual Spirit Roots and revived him, apart from the process being a bit painful and scary, there are no other side effects."
Yun Mo remained dumbfounded.
The amount of information in just a few words was too much, his already small bird brain couldn’t process it all at once.
"It’s also okay if you’re afraid of pain or death, it just means your cultivation speed might be slower, and there’s no rush, maybe when Xiao Chuanzi comes back, there will be other ways." Jiang Yuan thought the big eagle might be afraid of pain, which was normal. He himself was bound to the system and had cheats but was still afraid of death despite holding a bunch of Resurrection Talismans.
When the grand disciple, Wan Mingchuan, returns with the Time Pavilion, there will be more training scenarios, and Yun Mo will get more chances to go in. With Cultivation Techniques and Elixirs, and his hard work, the rest is just a matter of time.
The Time Pavilion just compensates for this; with many treasures assisting, who says an ordinary Spirit Root can’t reach the peak?
"I..." Yun Mo felt dry in his mouth, stretched his neck, swallowed saliva to soothe his throat, and barely could make a sound, "Sir, I need to mentally prepare myself, it might take a few days before I can take action."
That Spirit Roots can be changed, he blindly trusted that if the sir said so, there must be miraculous means.
Who doesn’t want top-grade Dual Spirit Roots?
Something one wouldn’t dare dream of, with the sir here, just one death and a revival, and it’s possible to change! Thinking this way, it seems dying is... still a bit scary.
Yun Mo decided to ask Senior Bai first, to learn from his experience, then mentally prepare. At worst, just be more aggressive in a battle with a Great Demon Beast, and get smacked to death.
"No rush, try it when you think you can overcome the mental barrier." Jiang Yuan comforted: "It’s really fine if you can’t make up your mind, the most important thing is, never lose respect for death."
I can indeed bring you back to life, but it comes at a significant cost. It’s not like you can revive every time, so don’t be reckless."
The system rewarded him with a whole set of Resurrection Cards for all members, plus occasionally getting one or two Resurrection Talismans from the Treasure Forging Workshop, he was only willing to reveal the method of trading death once for a different Spirit Root.
If the big eagle becomes reckless and wanders off, where would there be so many Resurrection Talismans to use?
"Rest assured sir, I understand the importance, I would never treat death lightly." Yun Mo thought to himself that dying once was terrifying enough, would one dare to die a second time just because they can live after dying?
Not to mention, being beaten to death would hurt so much! Unless absolutely necessary, a good death is still not as good as living clumsily.
