Chapter 281: The Reason for Seclusion
"You don't have to be so nervous, this matter is not as you think, it will offend a few of our Supreme Elders. It's normal for you to have this kind of question, because you haven't cultivated to the level I have now, so there are many things that you don't know. Uncle Plankton said with a large piece of meat in his mouth.
I hurriedly asked, "Uncle Shi, can you tell us more about it?"
Uncle Floating wiped his mouth and said, "From your point of view, all kinds of dangers in this world have to be handed over to your younger generation to experience and grow up, and fighting against the Demon Dao is naturally part of this experience. Otherwise, when we die, who will be able to solve the crisis? There will be sacrifices in the process, but blindly compassion for others will cause greater disasters in the future. Of course, this is not the main reason. ”
I then asked, "What is the main reason?"
Uncle Floating said: "The main reason is that the normal lifespan of ordinary people will not exceed one hundred and twenty years old, so why do those of us who practice the exercises have a lifespan of two or three hundred years, and some can even live to four or five hundred years old?"
I replied, "My master told me back then, adapting to our perennial refining of heaven and earth spiritual qi into our bodies, so our lifespan will be two or three hundred years longer than ordinary people. ”
Uncle Floater nodded and said, "That's not the end, the aura is equivalent to life for us in the end." From a certain point of view, excessive consumption of aura is the consumption of life. If you often lose a lot of aura, you will continue to shorten your lifespan. Of course, death is not so terrible, but for the major forces, wouldn't it be more meaningful for a few ancestors to be able to protect their own foundation for a long time?"
Hearing this, I secretly thought in my heart, the ancestors of the major forces are equivalent to one-time weapons of mass destruction, and the main role is not to use them often, but to deter all parties from daring to come and invade.
Uncle Floating Master continued: "Also, after I cultivate like this, every fight will require you to consume unimaginable spiritual power, let alone fight to the death with your opponent. ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, the power of my own attack will naturally be proportional to the spiritual power consumed, and the greater the power, the greater the consumption." ”
"Yes, but the problem is that after the age of one hundred and fifty, the speed of the aura gathered in his body gradually slows down, and the spiritual power consumed in each fight is too huge, so it takes a long time to recover after each real fight. There are even people who have died before the aura is fully restored. Uncle Plankton said lightly.
Yue Min asked puzzledly: "But Floating Ancestor, why can't you go out and fight twice, and then come back?
Uncle Floating looked at Yue Min and smiled, "You can think this way because you don't know enough about the people who have reached our level. To put it simply, if you deplete the spiritual power in your body now, you will be in a coma for three or four days, and you will basically recover completely after resting for ten or so days at most. ”
Uncle Floating stood up, leisurely walked to a corner and sat down, and said, "But if we cultivate to our realm, even if we only consume half of our spiritual power, we will need to recover for a few months, or years, or even decades. So we can't just make a move, we have to make a move when we need it most. Otherwise, when the real crisis comes, won't we be powerless?"
After listening to this, the four juniors nodded deeply and said, "Oh... I see. This is the real reason why all the powerful people who have cultivated to the highest level are living in low-key seclusion. ”
Uncle Plankton lay on the ground and said, "Therefore, generally when a person lives to be over one hundred or sixty years old, he will remove the position of the head of the sect or family, and he will basically not participate in daily battles. I haven't seen a few people like Senior Brother Xuanzhen, and until now, the speed of recovering spiritual power is basically the same as the consumption of spiritual power during the fight. ”
"Ah?!Master Xuanzhen is so powerful!!" I said in surprise.
Uncle Floating Master said lazily: "Otherwise, what do you think is the reason why the forces in the whole world are afraid of Senior Brother Xuanzhen coming down the mountain? Senior Brother Xuanzhen and your master were known as Kunlun Shuangjie in the world back then, and when the two of them went down the mountain together, there was nothing to be afraid of in the whole world." Alright, there's nothing else to ask, right?
Over the next month and a half, Uncle Floating and Brother Lotte began intensive training for the part of the four of us that each needed to be responsible for refining treasures.
The training content assigned to me was very simple, Uncle Plankton picked a raw material for me to refine the magic weapon, and let me gradually increase from the initial use of my own aura to continuously refine materials for four hours, to the time when I could continue to output aura refining eighteen hours. You must know that it is only twelve hours a day, which means that I will have to cultivate at least until I can continue refining for two days and one night.
Despite this, Uncle Floating told me that the magic weapon I wanted to refine was far more difficult than I imagined, and his requirements for me were just the most basic bottom line.
In addition to instructing me two or three times a day on the problems that existed when I continued to output aura, Uncle Floater spent the rest of his time training Lu Chongming and Ou Yanhua. In order to give Lu Chongming a better understanding of the structure of the core, Uncle Floating Master dismantled the new weapon that Lu Chongming had made with the puppet core we had obtained in the ruins of the 100,000 Great Mountains.
That's not all, in the end, Uncle Floating Master completely dismantled the square puppet core that Lu Chongming couldn't disassemble at all. When Uncle Plankton completely dismantled the core, we all seemed to hear Lu Chongming's heartbroken voice.
However, fortunately, after Uncle Floating finished dismantling, he told Lu Chongming that the kernel could be installed back in good condition. With Uncle Floater's words, Lu Chongming was able to concentrate on following Uncle Floater to study the puppet core. Otherwise, I see that Lu Chongming's spirit is a little trance.
It seems that there is some truth in our Kunlun sect not allowing our disciples to delve into puppetry, and studying puppetry too much will indeed make people's minds unstable and obsessed with external objects.
In view of the problem that the aura in Ou Yanhua's body was running too slowly, it was impossible to improve Ou Yanhua's cultivation in such a short period of time. However, Uncle Plankton taught Ou Yanhua a set of exercises that could speed up the operation of aura in the body in a short period of time.
This kind of exercise, as long as the acceleration of the aura does not exceed the limit of Ou Yanhua's body, then there are no side effects.
