The higher the rank of a cultivation technique, the quality of spiritual energy absorbed is higher, the converted battle qi is stronger.
In the Immortal World, the ones practising high-rank cultivation techniques were capable of jumping levels to challenge stronger opponents, it was due to this factor.
Spirit roots and Spirit souls determine a person's strength and future achievements, and the quality of cultivation technique was equally important.
Time flies and soon one week passed.
In this one week's time, apart from practising cultivation Knave also started learning practical alchemy.
The only difference was, that instead of reading books he was being taught how to control the flames first.
After replacing his pills with the new one Knave's practice speed increased tremendously. One week after talking with the elder, he had reached the peak of forth shackle, anytime soon he would be able to break through to the fifth shackle.
In the bewitching darkness of the night, silvery moonlight streamed down.
Knave sat cross-legged on the ground mat, spiritual energy from the environment poured down from the void and was devoured by the spirit root.
The spirit energy within Knave's body kept swirling violently like raging waves crashing, the same way he felt when he was in peak-third shackle breaking through to fourth shackle.
However, breaking through to fourth shackle was much harder, the resistance barrier was thicker but Knave persisted.
His Spiritual energy continued to crash against the barrier, not knowing how much time had elapsed, suddenly a minute crack appeared in the fifth shackle.
Aware that the fifth shackle was loosening, Knave felt excited and pushed against the shackle more aggressively as the shackle's minute crack grew bigger when, finally, a sound of explosion resounded inside his body.
Like a flash flood, spiritual energy rushed into the fifth shackle in triumph!
Fifth shackle! Finally, he broke through to the Fifth shackled realm.
Knave opened his eyes, unable to hide the jubilation in his heart. Once breaking through fifth shackle, the seventh shackle wasn't far away!
"Once I advance to the Seventh shackle, I can start practising battle skills; and once I reach the seventh shackle, my green flame core will evolve. At that time, a skill from my cultivation technique will appear!" Knave thought inwardly.
When students selected a cultivation technique it was very important for them to select one which would not only suit them but also can have beneficial results when reaching a certain stage.
This was the reason that Vanessa was happy when the elder had said that he would select a cultivation technique for Knave.
As the elder was the one looking after the cultivation manual hall he would know the best techniques that a cultivation disciple should have that could not only increase his cultivation speed with a proper foundation but also pave a better future for him.
Take Knave, for example, he was not only given a cultivation technique that would match his aptitude and give him a good foundation for his future breakthrough but that was not the only part
This was a technique that would provide him with an auxiliary alchemy technique that would not only help him in his alchemy journey but also give him the right to travel the cultivation world without any difficulty as nobody would want to become enemy with a good alchemist.
Seeing all this one could tell that the elder who had selected the cultivation technique for him had given Knave a very beneficial cultivation manual.
The Seventh shackle was only a general indication. People with low-grade spirit roots ranging from grade one, two due to their spiritual roots' natural limitation, more often than not, failed to break through to the Seventh shackle and without some fortuitous adventure, breaking through to this shackle would be a tedious challenge.
That was why people with low-grade spirit roots never gained any cultivation skill in their life for they were unable to reach the seventh shackle and truly enter the cultivation world.
