I saw that the bad old man opened his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Wanfeng. Then he rubbed his red nose and said.

"Come on, do whatever you want. ”

After saying that, he turned around and fell asleep again. Lin Wanfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, since he came to this scripture pavilion, he hadn't seen this old man get up and sleep on the recliner all the time, sometimes Lin Wanfeng was really afraid that he would sleep to death.

After Leng Feng brought Lin Wanfeng back to Tianji Peak that day, he entrusted him to this Li Lao, and left it alone, although he didn't have to worry about three meals a day, but he was always very lonely.

Fortunately, the books in the Scripture Pavilion are as vast as the sea, and Lin Wanfeng's daily reading is not lonely.

After a long time, Lin Wanfeng was embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing on Tianji Peak, so she came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion every day to clean.

Although I don't know what the reason is, even if Lin Wanfeng doesn't clean it, the entire Scripture Pavilion is spotless. But it is always Lin Wanfeng's heart.

Today, Lin Wanfeng sweated like rain, and finally finished sorting out the entire scripture building.

Then he went about flipping through the shelves as usual.

Among them, all kinds of travelogues are Lin Wanfeng's favorite to read.

The various anecdotes recorded in the book, as well as some rare beasts, made Lin Wanfeng even more amazed.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Wanfeng finally finished reading another book.

I saw him stretch and put the book back on the shelf.

But one of them didn't pay attention, but touched an adjacent book.

Lin Wanfeng hurriedly picked up the book, flipped through it left and right a few times, and was relieved when she saw that the book was not damaged.

I was about to put the book back in its place, but I casually glanced at the cover, but the hand that wanted to put the book back stopped.

I saw a few big words written on the cover

"Basic Qi Refining Sword Technique"

"Is this the so-called method of cultivation?"

Lin Wanfeng said to herself.

When I opened the cover, I saw a few mantras written on each page, and there were corresponding meditation postures and handprints.

The book was very thin, not a few pages, and Lin Wanfeng quickly read it.

The content is not complicated, Lin Wanfeng is not only a little eager to try.

Then he sat down on the spot and returned the content in his heart.

Then, his eyes closed, and his hands began to pinch his handprints according to the first page of the illustration of his memory.

At first, there was no reaction, but as Lin Wanfeng kept typing out the handprints, she kept reciting the mantra in her heart.

Gradually, Lin Wanfeng felt an invisible force, like a stream, flowing lightly around.

Is this what the book calls Reiki?

Lin Wanfeng thought secretly in her heart. Then, according to what the book says, the law in his hand is changed, and he tries to introduce the aura into his body.

However, then the situation poured cold water on him, because no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't introduce the surrounding aura into his body.

What's going on?

Repeated failures made him not only a little impatient in his heart.

With a ruthless heart, Lin Wanfeng simply typed out the handprint on the second page.

At this time, the surrounding aura finally reacted. But it's not as stated in the book, slowly entering from the Baihui acupoint,

but like a great river bursting its banks, it drowned him in an instant.

Lin Wanfeng wanted to call for help, but it was like drowning in the water, and she couldn't make a sound at all.

"Wake up"

Just as the last moment, a loud shout sounded in Lin Wanfeng's ears like thunder.

Lin Wanfeng was shocked, and she woke up suddenly.

I found myself still sitting cross-legged on the ground, but my back was already wet with cold sweat.

Lin Wanfeng, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but gasp for breath, as if she had just had a nightmare.

At this time, I only heard someone behind me say slowly.

"You dare to practice without a spiritual root, you kid is not a little brave. If it weren't for the old man, I would have found out in time. I'm afraid you're done, kid. ”

Lin Wanfeng hurriedly turned around, but she didn't know when Li Lao was standing behind her.

Lin Wanfeng hurriedly got up, her face a little ashamed.

"Elder Li, I ......"

I saw Boss Li wave his hand.

"Needless to say, you just need to know that without a spiritual root, these cultivation sword techniques are no less than poison to you. Once you cultivate, you will definitely go crazy. ”

"This time, I saved you, and next time you may not be so lucky. ”

After speaking, I saw Li Lao pick up the gourd and take a sip, then dragged his rickety body and walked slowly towards the recliner. Only Lin Wanfeng was left to think in place.

"Elder Li, is it really impossible to practice without a spiritual root?"

Seeing that Li Lao was about to lie down again, Lin Wanfeng still asked with some reluctance.

Li Lao yawned and lay lazily on the recliner.

"What's so fun about practicing is either retreat or fighting, killing, and killing. If you have this time, you might as well drink two sips of wine and get some sleep. ”

As he spoke, Li Lao rubbed his red nose, then closed his eyes and went back to sleep

"My father died with the demon in order to protect me, and Uncle Feng went to the evil sword array for me, and his life and death are still unknown. ”

"I don't want to drag others down like this anymore, I don't want anyone to happen to me again, I don't want to be so powerless anymore. ”

Lin Wanfeng clenched her hands into fists, looked at Li Lao with firm eyes, and said seriously.

"Cultivation is not such a simple thing, not to mention the difficulties and dangers, and it is more likely to die at any time, you have this realization. ”

Li Lao stretched his waist and said casually.

"As long as you can practice, you won't be afraid of any hardships"

Lin Wanfeng said categorically.

Li Lao looked at Lin Wanfeng, who was full of seriousness, and then said.

"Actually, it's not impossible for a spiritless root to want to cultivate. ”

I saw Li Lao stand up, beckoned to Lin Wanfeng, motioned for him to follow him, and then said while walking with his hands behind his back.

"Cultivation is essentially to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, refining it for one's own use, and the role of the spiritual root is like a magnet, absorbing the aura around it. ”

"And if there is no spiritual root, it is naturally unattractive to the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and if it is forcibly absorbed, it will cause the spiritual energy to run wild, making people go crazy. Naturally, I can't practice."

"So how do you fix that?"

Lin Wanfeng kept climbing up with Elder Li and asked.

In fact, this problem was not unsolvable in ancient times. ”

Li Lao said as he climbed the stairs.

"You must know that in ancient times, people originally had no spiritual roots. ”

"Ahh

Lin Wanfeng exclaimed, and was not lightly surprised by the ancient secrets, but then asked.

"Why is that?"

"According to legend, after the beginning of chaos, the era of flood famine came, and between heaven and earth, all kinds of flood beasts were rampant. ”

Later, the two powerful clans of the Lich competed, and the world was in chaos. ”

"But my human race is born weak, and it is not as good as other races, and it is inherently capable of overcoming mountains and seas. It is the weakest race in heaven and earth. ”

They are often killed and plundered by other tribes, or enslaved by other tribes, and are bullied by all tribes.

can only struggle between the strong clans. It was a period of complete darkness for the Terrans. ”

Li Lao paused slightly when he said this, as if he was lamenting the tragic experience of the human race in the past, and then continued with a straight expression.

"Later, there were some geniuses among the Terrans who finally came up with a way to make the Terrans strong, and that was the method of cultivation. Later, countless martyrs of our human race went forward and fought desperately. The era of the flood has finally ended. To put it bluntly, the current situation of our human race is all the result of the ancestors' hard work, and the founding patriarchs of the six sects of my righteous path are all outstanding in that era. ”

"The cultivation paths of the human race in the era of the flood can be summed up into four kinds. ”

"The first type is a person who has great perseverance and wisdom to perceive the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and finally, he senses the Dao of Heaven and creates his own exercises.

However, this method is too difficult, after all, the avenue is vast and boundless, and ordinary people can't comprehend it at all. There are very few successful people from ancient times to the present, and the number of successful people does not exceed ten fingers at most. This shows how difficult this method is. ”

"However, those who succeed in practicing this method are all people with unlimited potential, and if there is no accident, there will be a day when they will ascend to immortality. ”

"However, the lack of avenue makes the first method even more difficult. ”

"The second is that someone swallowed the anti-heaven elixir of the flood era by chance. The powerful medicinal power produced by it forcibly opens up the eight veins of the strange meridians in the whole body, so that people have all kinds of strange abilities and strange methods. ”

However, the disadvantage is that the ability to produce is limited by the medicinal power of the swallowed elixir, and the ability generated cannot be cultivated and strengthened. ”

"Moreover, since the end of the flood era, this anti-heaven elixir has become less and less after continuous consumption, and by now, it has basically become extinct. Therefore, this road has long been cut off. ”

"The third type is that people who have great fortune are enlightened by the Gu Immortals. In the flood era, although our human race was the weakest, it was born intelligent and intelligent.

"And at the beginning of the chaos, a group of Gu Immortals came into being. All of them are supernatural and powerful, and their mana is boundless. Some intelligent people of our human race were valued by the Gu Immortals, and they were included in the disciple to practice. ”

And this method was the most common in the flood era. But with the end of the flood era, all the immortals have flown to the immortal realm, or retreated to the small world they have opened up. It is now difficult to find a trace. So this approach doesn't work. ”

Later, it was discovered that the offspring born from the combination of cultivated people had a chance to be born with a strange talent, which made them inherently capable of cultivating, which people called spiritual roots. This is the fourth method. ”

"This approach is much less restrictive than the previous three. The first three methods, on the other hand, are cut off because the conditions for practice are too harsh, or because the conditions that arise are severe. And gradually disappeared in the long river of history. ”

"To this day, only the fourth method has survived. Therefore, now there is a saying that there is no spiritual root and no immortal cultivation. ”

"Then what should I do, Old Li?"

"The roads ahead are not suitable for you, they are either cut off or too difficult. So, I'm going to let you try the fifth way. ”

"Fifth way? Didn't you say there are only four roads?"

Lin Wanfeng asked suspiciously.

"Actually, I don't know if this fifth way can be passed. ”

At this time, the two of them had already reached the highest floor of the Tibetan Scripture Building unconsciously.

I saw that there was nothing else in this layer, only a scroll hanging in the center.

A long sword is outlined on it, extremely expressive, and a sharp intent rushes towards it, as if it were real.

"This painting was left by Ling Xiaozi, the patriarch of the founding school. ”

According to legend, there is a lifelong learning in this painting, and if someone understands it, they can get his full inheritance. ”

"And the patriarch Ling Xiaozi is also a spiritual root. ”
