This Female Celebrity Comes from the Cultivation World
Chapter 86: History of the Cultivation of Truth
Chapter 86
“You take me with you when you go to Z City,” Shen Feixian said suddenly.
Song Jixing nodded.
Shen Feixian turned to look at Song Jixing, with a smile in his eyes, and asked, “Junior sister, aren't you going to ask why I want to go?”
Song Jixing’s reply was very simple. “Senior brother wants to go, so naturally senior brother has his reasons for wanting to go.”
Shen Feixian didn’t say much more. He tapped the keyboard a few times to pull up another model he had made for Song Jixing.
“Junior sister, I have some things I want to tell you.”
“That day when we went out for a walk, I took note of all the places overflowing with spiritual energy, and I also made a mathematical model. From the information I collected, the place currently overflowing with the most spiritual energy is Y City. I thought it would be the creatures of Y City that would cause trouble first...”
“But now I can confirm it’s Z City. I suspect the spiritual gathering array at the school has drained some of the spiritual energy from Y City, reducing Y City’s spiritual energy and causing the creatures of the entire Y City to slow down compared to those in other cities, allowing those other cities to take the lead."
"Although mathematical models can calculate the growth rate of spiritual energy, they can’t calculate various coincidences and opportunities. Places with spirit stone mines have more spiritual energy seeping from underground, and creatures have a greater chance of gaining intelligence there.”
“The current level of spiritual energy here can only give intelligence to a small number of creatures, or strengthen something like that rat’s teeth, still far from enough to pose a threat to humans. So I suspect there must be something under this reservoir, such as a spirit stone mine or some heavenly treasures. Plus being underwater gives it some conveniences...”
Shen Feixian’s inference made complete sense to Song Jixing, and she found it very convincing.
“Then let’s just go directly take out whatever is in the reservoir and have a look,” Song Jixing said.
Although animals that take shape relying on heavenly treasures can get ahead of humans, they still need continuous cultivation and growth. There is no such thing as succeeding overnight.
Although Song Jixing’s current body hadn’t cultivated before, with the augmentation of the Divine Cauldron, she had no problem using techniques at the Golden Core realm.
It could be said that there wasn’t a single being on the entire planet that could fight her, not just now, but even in the next thirty years.
Shen Feixian closed his laptop screen and tapped his fingers lightly on the outer case of the laptop.
“It’s possible, but Junior Sister, do you plan to keep doing things this way forever?” Shen Feixian asked, looking to Song Jixing beside him.
Song Jixing was also looking at this senior martial brother from the same sect but different master.
In over a hundred years in the cultivation world, she hadn’t interacted with this senior brother much, but she could still understand the implicit meaning in his words.
Song Jixing nodded. “If I can do a little, I’ll do as much as I can!”
If it could be easily handed over for someone else to accomplish, Song Jixing naturally wouldn’t lift a finger.
Not all intelligent beasts were like the old rat in Jiyu Town that could be rendered harmless by smashing its teeth.
Although there were special weapons like guns and ammunition here, once animals cultivated to a certain level, they had absolutely no deterrent effect and the bullets couldn’t penetrate their skin.
In over a hundred years of life in the cultivation world, Song Jixing had learned a lot of things, not just techniques, but also some general knowledge of the cultivation world.

Those with spiritual roots were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
When the major sects selected disciples, they would generally go to mortal towns and cities overflowing with spiritual energy. They rarely went to places with scarce spiritual energy, because such places almost never had children with spiritual roots.
First there must be spiritual energy before spiritual roots can be nurtured.
Song Jixing was quite certain that the spiritual energy in this world had appeared around the time she transmigrated back. Right now those with spiritual roots were mostly still babbling infants, let alone cultivating.
There were always exceptions. Spiritual roots could occasionally appear even in places without spiritual energy, but such exceptions were extremely rare.
The cultivation of non-human creatures was completely different from that of humans.
Most plants went through cycles of flourishing and wilting each year. For rodents it was slightly longer, one to three years. The Heavenly Dao filled what was lacking, so because their lifespans were short, they had the chance to awaken their intelligence as soon as they came in contact with spiritual energy. But awakening intelligence was different than having spiritual roots.
Those who awakened their intelligence didn’t necessarily have spiritual roots, but those with spiritual roots would definitely awaken their intelligence in the later stages of cultivation.

Song Jixing had read history books from the cultivation world, so she knew that before humans had developed the powerful cultivation world, there was a difficult period where cultivators coexisted with ordinary mortals.
Demonic beasts reproduced and matured quickly back then, and the land was filled with beasts who had awakened their intelligence. They consciously nurtured young beasts with spiritual roots, competing for the cultivation resources of the time. They wantonly hunted mortals, especially those with spiritual roots who would be swallowed alive by demonic beasts.
For a town to thrive and multiply at that time required cultivators to reside there long term, otherwise ordinary people would end up as meals for the demonic beasts. This was the bloody history passed down by predecessors of the demon tribes.
The era Song Jixing transmigrated back to was one where humans were prosperous and powerful, but that didn’t mean they could arbitrarily hunt demonic beasts.
It was normal to cook, boil, braise, or stew food. But gratuitously stewing an awakened chicken who could understand human speech would damage the moral character of righteous cultivation paths.
However, if that chicken had committed wrongdoing, that would be another matter altogether.
If it was a chicken with spiritual roots, that would again be a separate issue not subject to the previous rules.
Song Jixing wasn’t very clear on the specifics, only that this is what her seniors had told her.
Don’t deliberately kill innocent beasts who have awakened intelligence but lack spiritual roots. Killing them was no different than harming innocent mortals, and would damage one’s own cultivation.
The Heavenly Dao permitted all living things to compete and grow, but it didn’t allow them to disregard the existence of ants or arbitrarily slaughter ants.

Crows stealing snacks wasn’t a huge crime. Rats awakening intelligence yet having the fate to die like cats were destined for short lives. Creatures in the pond eating humans was punishable by death.
Shen Feixian smiled. “Junior sister, you alone won’t be able to keep up if all the demonic beasts fully mature.”
“It is the duty of us cultivators to safeguard human peace.” Song Jixing quoted a famous thought and moral character quote from the classics of the cultivation world.
It wasn’t impossible to hand this matter over to the people here to deal with, it would just be rather difficult, and there would be some casualties. The only person who could easily resolve this was Song Jixing, so she had to go.
Song Jixing said, “Didn’t senior brother want to lend me a hand?”
Shen Feixian nodded and crooked a finger at Song Jixing. “Junior sister, come here. I have something to tell you.”
Bai Ling, who was sitting on the rooftop of a small villa drinking and scrolling through her tablet, suddenly couldn’t hear any sounds. She twisted her lips and casually kicked an empty can off the roof.
The little bastard was using spiritual energy soundproofing. Did he not trust this elder, or was he bullying her for not being able to use spiritual energy!
