The Five Elements Spiritual Root represents Lin Jing's Spiritual Root, incorporating the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Born with the Five Elements, one's fate is sealed for life.
The subsequent Medium Grade, then, is an assessment of the Spiritual Root's talent.
The most direct manifestation of this is in spiritual energy perception and cultivation speed.
Normally, under ordinary circumstances,
the more diverse and numerous the attributes combined in a Spiritual Root, the poorer its quality becomes.
Just as it was for Lin Jing before.
Conversely, the fewer the attributes a Spiritual Root combines, the better its talent.
The best, of course, are the single-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Roots.
Such cultivators are naturally inclined to cultivate a single attribute and their cultivation speed is considerably faster than that of other cultivators.
