Urban Invincible Overlord

On the fifth day after Yang Fei and the other two returned to the Yunwu Mountain's Base, everyone within the base who possessed spiritual roots was almost entirely identified with precision under the search of the 'Innate Eye' magical artifact.

Originally, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang thought there would be many people with spiritual roots.

In their view, at least among the masters who had once stepped into Martial Arts, many would possess the talent of cultivation spiritual roots.

However, the result was greatly beyond their expectations.

Among these martial artists, the vast majority did not have the so-called spiritual roots.

Ultimately, out of more than a hundred thousand people in the base, 173 individuals were detected to possess spiritual roots, of which only 33 were martial artists. On the contrary, it was the elite from the Military Department and special forces who mainly possessed spiritual roots.

Even many ordinary people were detected to have cultivable spiritual roots.

Compared to the huge base of tens of thousands of people, this proportion was pitifully small.

Yang Fei questioned: "Are there so few people with cultivable spiritual roots? Why are there so many martial artists then?"

Qin Yanyang was also very curious about this.

Ye Wuya patiently explained: "Martial Artists are a profession that does not require any spiritual roots to train. As long as a person has a martial arts secret manual, they can become a Martial Artist. It's just that with different talents, the ultimate achievement varies. But anyone who practices martial arts can achieve some degree of effect.

But cultivation is different. To cultivate mana, one must have the talent of spiritual roots. Those without spiritual roots cannot control mana.

And detecting 173 people with spiritual roots here is already a very high proportion. In the Central Great World, across major worlds, the proportion of cultivators is also extremely low, so you don't need to be discouraged or upset."

Yang Fei furrowed his brow and asked, "What exactly is the difference between martial arts and cultivation? Why do I feel there's no difference?"

Ye Wuya said: "The difference is that cultivators can use spells, while martial artists cannot. Even at the peak of martial arts, though one's personal combat power is strong and their physical body is powerful, they cannot use spells. However, a cultivator, even the lowest level one, once they have mastered spells, can make even the most fundamental spells hard for a powerful martial artist to cope with."

Yang Fei thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "That can't be. Our martial artists here, once they enter the Innate Realm, can also manipulate the elemental forces of heaven and earth, achieving very potent attack effects."

Ye Wuya said: "Indeed, martial artists above the Innate Realm are very powerful, but the means they have are only equivalent to a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator's level among cultivators."

Yang Fei was silent for a moment, then asked: "Can martial artists, through their own efforts and cultivation, also enter the ranks of cultivation?"

Ye Wuya pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "In theory, it's not possible, but in the vast cultivation world, there indeed have appeared special beings who enter Tao through martial arts and step into the realm of cultivation. According to records, some martial artists without spiritual cultivation roots, after reaching the peak of martial arts, entered Tao through martial arts, and their physical aptitude reversed, revealing spiritual roots, making cultivation possible, though such cases are rare."

Qin Yanyang couldn't help but say: "It shouldn't be so rare, right? According to this monitoring, I found that all Divine Travel Realm martial artists have the talent of spiritual roots without exception. Could it be that only those with cultivation spiritual roots can break through the Innate Realm in martial arts and successfully step into the Divine Travel Realm?"

Ye Wuya, who had some understanding of the so-called Divine Travel Realm cultivators on Earth, knew that these people, relative to Innate Realm martial artists, developed divine sense telekinesis.

This was somewhat startling.

Because in the cultivation realm, only those with true spiritual roots talent, capable of cultivation, could nurture divine sense telekinesis after reaching the late-stage Qi Refining.

Yet, a batch of martial artists on Earth could also nurture divine sense telekinesis.

This was simply bizarre.

Ye Wuya was a bit stumped by Qin Yanyang's question.

After pondering for a long time, he said: "Perhaps these people originally had the talent of spiritual roots, which allowed them to break through to what you call the Divine Travel Realm. Or perhaps, they changed their body's functions through cultivation, thus developing spiritual cultivation roots post-birth."

"Develop spiritual roots post-birth?" Yang Fei suddenly thought of a possibility, eyes lighting up, and said: "Could it be that through medication, one can change a person's spiritual root aptitude and talent?"

Ye Wuya nodded: "Indeed, it's possible, but only with a certain probability. Because a person's talent is destined from birth, it is nearly impossible to change post-birth, but then everything is not absolute. In the cultivation realm, there have been cases where post-birth stimulation through medication led to the growth of cultivation spiritual roots."

Yang Fei then explained about the genetic liquid medicine.

Ye Wuya first learned about the explanation of the human genetic chain structure on Earth, and finally, upon hearing that genetic liquid medicine has a certain probability of changing the human genetic structure, his expression changed with surprise: "You can really produce such a special drug that can change the innate genes of humans?"

Yang Fei exchanged a look with Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang left and quickly returned with a large bottle of genetic liquid medicine in hand.

Ye Wuya gazed at the sky-blue genetic liquid medicine, opened it, and merely sniffed, detecting a rich vitality, and couldn't help but praise: "This is good stuff. Even in the cultivation world, this kind of thing is very beneficial to cultivators."

Yang Fei said in surprise: "Really? Your Lingxiao Sect is so powerful, can't produce all kinds of spiritual elixirs, yet actually think the genetic liquid medicine is good stuff?"

Ye Wuya, with a solemn expression, said: "This truly is good stuff. Although the medicinal effect in it isn't very significant for cultivators, it contains special energy that can change the body's post-birth potential. That's its real value. I finally understand why out of your tens of thousands of people, you could find 173 seedlings with cultivation spiritual roots. It turns out it's due to the genetic liquid medicine that developed them post-birth."

Yang Fei looked at Qin Yanyang and asked: "Think carefully, have those with spiritual roots all taken the genetic liquid medicine?"

Qin Yanyang gave him a white glance, speechless: "I'm not immortal, how could I remember so many people's names, I'll go ask."

With that said, she went out to inquire.

Ye Wuya, carefully examining the genetic liquid medicine in his hand, with a solemn expression said to Yang Fei: "Fellow Daoist Yang, from what you say, can this be mass-produced here?"

Yang Fei nodded: "Yes, but the output isn't very high."

"Why not?"

"Shortage of raw materials."

Ye Wuya's face showed a hint of regret, but he quickly returned to normal and asked: "So if given enough raw materials, could you massively produce this genetic liquid medicine?"

Yang Fei nodded: "Yes, what's the matter, Fellow Daoist Ye wants to do this business?"

Ye Wuya made no secret of his intent, nodding: "That's right, Fellow Daoist Yang may not know, but this genetic liquid medicine is practically a divine pill in the cultivation world."
