Chapter 31: The Relationship between Spiritual Roots and Alchemy
The successful conclusion of the auction led to the improvement of Fengyun Wuji's status in the Four Seas Pavilion, from the original self-refining alone, equipped with refining disciples, all of whom were cultivators of the third or fourth level of Qi refining, mainly doing some unskilled work, such as selecting materials, refining materials, etc., often these jobs took up half of the time of refining, so that Fengyun Wuji's time was much looser, and when he was fine, he chatted with a few guests from the Four Seas Pavilion to discuss his cultivation experience.

On this day, the four of them got together again, and in the private room of a restaurant, several people sat opposite each other, and there were spiritual wine and spiritual vegetables on the table.
"Senior Brother Fengyun, I heard that you are looking for Zhuji Dan, I don't know what news there is, the brothers have been staying at the peak of Qi cultivation for more than five years, and they are getting older and older, if you don't build the foundation again, the possibility of Jindan in the future will be even lower, if you have any news, don't forget to be a few brothers!" One of the oldest people was fifty or sixty years old, his name was Xi Hai, he was cultivating a formation, he was wearing a purple robe, his face was slightly dark, he couldn't say how handsome he was, but he could still be regarded as the right audience, he spoke first.
"Don't hide it from Brother Xi Hai, I have been in Fang City for more than three months, there is no news at all, I just want to learn alchemy and refine it myself, and there is no way, it seems that it is very difficult for our Keqing to build a foundation in the Four Seas Alliance, and you don't see that many disciples at the peak of Qi cultivation in the Four Seas Alliance have not been assigned to the Zhuji Dan!" Fengyun Wuji also said with a sigh, and there was nothing he could do about the current situation.
"Senior Brother Fengyun, do you want to practice alchemy?" another guest in a loose robe answered, his name was Ma Shang, he was in his forties, and the years had left wrinkles on his face early.
"Yes, Senior Brother Ma Shang, I'm still young, if I can cultivate alchemy, then it is estimated that within ten years, I will be able to successfully refine the Zhuji Dan. Fengyun Wuji replied confidently.
"Senior Brother Fengyun, you don't know the difficulties of alchemy, I also planned to do so twenty years ago, but now you see that I am still at the peak of Qi cultivation. Marchand said a little lonely.
"Please also ask Senior Brother to solve your doubts!" Fengyun Wuji was suddenly a little puzzled, so he asked
"Alchemy is different from refining, refining you will, you need earth fire to refine and hammer the material, then quenching, and finally seal carving formation, which has almost no requirements for the spiritual root, any spiritual root may become a refiner, which is also the reason why the refining sect dominated our area thousands of years ago, but there are advantages and disadvantages, the refiner relies too much on the refining magic weapon, resulting in the cultivation realm can not keep up, so this is also the reason for the ups and downs of the refining sect. Marchand said with a very good look.
"You know what it says about the Linggen!" Marchand took a sip of wine and continued.
Fengyun Wuji never thought that alchemy had anything to do with the spiritual root, and recalled the information about the spiritual root recorded by the sect.
Most immortal cultivators don't know what the "spiritual root" is, but they all know that if a person doesn't have a "spiritual root", then don't even think about cultivating immortals, because you can't sense the spiritual energy at all, let alone cultivate spiritual power!
But people who are born with "spiritual roots" are too few among ordinary people, and they can even be said to be one in ten thousand, one in tens of thousands. But that's it, the people who have the spiritual root and can embark on the path of cultivating immortals still only account for a little bit of it, and the vast majority of people still live a mediocre life. Because it is really difficult to select people with spiritual roots, they are too loosely distributed, which makes those immortal cultivation sects that want to recruit disciples feel a big headache. This is also the reason why it is difficult for the Refining Weapon Sect to recruit disciples in the secular world.
And it is not that as long as there is a "spiritual root", it must meet the requirements of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. Because the "spiritual root" and the "spiritual root" are still very different, and there are good and bad.
Generally speaking, the "spiritual root" is divided into five elements such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, etc., and most people's spiritual roots are mixed with these five or four multiple attributes, although these people can also sense the aura of heaven and earth, but the effect of cultivation can be said to be miserable, basically can only practice the five elements of the basic exercises in the stage of refining qi, practice to the third or fourth layer, and then move forward an inch, and generally have no hope of crossing the foundation building period in their lives.
Therefore, spiritual roots with five or even four attributes are also called "pseudo-spiritual roots" in the immortal cultivation world, to show that they are different from "true spiritual roots" that only have two or three attributes and can be cultivated relatively quickly. The general test is to test the external performance of the spiritual root attributes, such as the test of the refining sect, in fact, Fengyun Wuji is also the owner of the five elements of the spiritual root, but the earth attribute is particularly prominent, so the test is the lower grade of the earth spirit root, only the top grade spirit root or the best spirit root will be a single spirit root.
As for a single spiritual root with only one attribute, and it is of super-grade spiritual root quality, it is called "Heavenly Root" by the Immortal Cultivation World, which means the darling of the heavens. Because a person with this kind of spiritual root, no matter what kind of attribute it is, his cultivation speed is two to three times that of an ordinary spiritual root person. Moreover, when cultivating to the peak of the foundation building period, there is no need to face the bottleneck that should be faced when entering the golden pill stage, and you can easily start to form a pill.
If it is said that the cultivation speed is incredibly fast, which makes other immortal cultivators envious, then the "Heavenly Root" people can form a golden pill without a bottleneck, which makes other immortal cultivators so jealous that they are about to vomit blood.
You must know that if it is said that among the ten Qi Refining Stage Immortal cultivators, only one can enter the Foundation Building Stage with the help of the Foundation Building Dan. Then one of the hundred people in the foundation building period may not be able to succeed in the Dan and enter the Jindan period.
With such a disparity in the proportion of knots, how could it not make other immortal cultivators very jealous, and the "Heavenly Root" people were blessed.
Therefore, whenever a Tiangen person appears, it is often frantically scrambling by various immortal cultivation sects, after all, this is equivalent to booking a great master of the Jindan period for the sect, which can greatly increase the strength of the sect.
However, the probability of the appearance of an anti-heaven spiritual root like the "Heavenly Root" is almost negligible, and it is basically discovered by the Immortal Cultivation Sect every hundreds of years. On the other hand, although it is not a "Heavenly Root", it is not a "Mutant Spiritual Root" that does not belong to the Five Elements Spiritual Root, and the probability of its appearance is relatively large, and one can appear every twenty or thirty years.
The so-called "mutated spiritual root" refers to the spiritual root that is mixed with two or three five element attributes and is mutated and sublimated.
Like the "Thunder Spirit Root" produced by the mutation of "Golden Spirit Root" and "Water Spirit Root"; The "Ice Spirit Root" produced after the mutation of the "Earth Spirit Root" and the "Water Spirit Root", and of course, there are other mutated spirit roots such as the "Dark Spirit Root" and the "Wind Spirit Root".
Although the immortal cultivator of the "Mutant Spirit Root" does not have the talent to be exempted from the bottleneck of the Formation Pill, his cultivation speed is not inferior to that of the "Heavenly Root" person, and if he can find exercises that match his attributes, most of these people will be great masters, and they can generally top three or four ordinary immortal cultivators of the same strength.
Therefore, people with mutated spiritual roots are also people who are extremely popular among the major immortal cultivation sects.
But in the past, not to mention such geniuses as "Heavenly Root" and "Mutant Spiritual Root", the Immortal Cultivation Sect could not easily find them, even ordinary "True Spiritual Root" people, and it was very difficult for the various sects to find them.
You must know that only one out of 10,000 people can have a spiritual root, and only one of the five or six people with a spiritual root can find out who is a true spiritual root.
As a result, under such harsh search conditions, there have even been times in the history of the immortal cultivation world, where there are only a few cats and dogs left in some small sects, which almost made the entire sect break the strange news of inheritance.
Faced with this embarrassing situation, some people with a heart finally found out after painstaking research that this "spiritual root" is very easy to appear in people who inherit the same bloodline.
For example, if one of the male and female duo has a spiritual root, then the child they give birth to will have a one-in-four chance that they will also have a spiritual root. Of course, if both parents are the owners of spiritual roots, then the chances of their offspring appearing spiritual roots are even greater, and it is not uncommon for all children born to be spiritual root owners.
The discovery of this matter made those who were interested in it very excited.
Under their encouragement, many young disciples of the sect at that time were sent out by their elders to start a family in the secular world, and when they had children, they returned to the sect to continue their cultivation.
In this way, when these immortal cultivation sects lacked disciples anymore, they directly selected children with spiritual roots from the families of their portal disciples, and the proportion of their true spiritual roots also greatly increased.
In this way, the big problem of the lack of disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect has finally been alleviated.
Although the probability of giving birth to a spiritual root among ordinary people is still so low, in general, there are more and more people who have spiritual roots, and those who inherit the spiritual root bloodline, there are endless spiritual root disciples. After a long time, after slowly branching out, the current Xiuzhen family was formed.
These high-level exercises of the Xiuzhen family may not be available, but there is no shortage of slightly shallow immortal cultivation methods, and they have gradually become the peripheral gateways of various immortal cultivation sects, and they also have a certain degree of independence.
Therefore, behind each Xiuzhen family, there is generally a sect of cultivating immortals supporting it, which should not be underestimated.
"I don't know what the connection between alchemy and spiritual root is? Thinking back to the Fengyun Wuji of the spiritual root information, he didn't find the connection with the alchemy.
"First, because the alchemist wants to extract the essence of the herbs and trees in the elixir, it is best to have the wood spirit root, of course, this other spirit root can also be refined, but the effect is not as good as the wood spirit root, second, alchemy is to extract the essence of the elixir needs to use flames, so it must have a fire spirit root, because only the fire spirit root can be possible to subdue the different fire of heaven and earth, used for alchemy, third, it is the different fire of heaven and earth, the different fire of heaven and earth is not often there, and as long as it is found that the big force will take it away, so unless the average person has a great chance, it is impossible to get the different fire, fourth, alchemy needs an alchemy furnace, and the minimum must be the spirit weapon level, fifth, Alchemists need a large number of herbs to practice, which is the most expensive place, and countless alchemists are stuck in this step. Therefore, if you want to become an alchemist, talent and opportunity are indispensable. Marchand explained.;
