In the southwest corner of Qingniu Town, there is a small courtyard, in the courtyard, a young man sits at the stone table, holding a somewhat yellowed and old book, reciting seriously, the sound of the book is loud, even through the courtyard can be heard. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With a creak, the wooden door of the courtyard opened, and an old man walked in with a basket containing some freshly picked herbs, only half full.

The old man had white hair and beard, and was wearing a coarse cloth robe that had been washed a little white. Looking at his age, but between his walks, he does not see the slightest old state, his steps are steady, his waist is straight, and a pair of cloudy old eyes occasionally show fine light, revealing a kind of wisdom and vicissitudes of seeing through the world.

The young man put down the book in his hand when he heard the sound and looked up: "Grandpa, why did you come back so early." He couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"When I went up the mountain to collect medicine, I met Niu Er, who was hunting, and he told me that tomorrow the immortals would come to hold the enlightenment ceremony, I estimated that this was not a trivial matter, it was a big deal, and the notice was so hasty, so I came back early to prepare." The old man replied.

When the young man heard this, he was stunned at first, but after reacting, his face remained unchanged, but a look of disapproval flashed in his eyes.

The old man noticed his expression and frowned: "Ah Jiu, you don't seem to be paying much attention to this matter. What, don't you want to cultivate immortals?"

"Grandpa, I don't believe that there are any immortals in this world, they are all tricked and abducted, so I don't believe it." The young man, Ning Cheng (nicknamed Ah Jiu), said disdainfully.

"Ah Jiu, you are wrong to think so, it is true that there are some liars in the world who pretend to be gods and ghosts, but the immortal master in the spirit initiation ceremony is indeed a person with real magic power."

Ning Cheng was very surprised when he heard this, but he still couldn't believe it.

The old man seemed to see his expression: "Why, you still don't believe your grandfather and me?" His beard shook angrily, "You know, our family is not a native of Qingniu Town, but we moved from other places.

In fact, my father, your great-grandfather, Ning Feng, was a monk. A monk, also known as an immortal cultivator, as the name suggests, is a person who cultivates in order to pursue immortal attainment. Of course, most mortals call them immortal masters, immortals, immortals, and the like, which is a bit exaggerated, after all, there are very few monks who can really cultivate into immortals, and the vast majority of immortal cultivators are far from becoming immortals.

Your great-grandfather is just a low-level casual cultivator, Shouyuan is no different from a mortal, after he died, I, a mortal with no mana, had nothing to rely on in the immortal cultivation world, so I moved to this mortal town with his belongings."

Ning Cheng's eyes were full of surprise, although the experience of the 21st century told him that these were not credible, and they were all feudal superstitions in backward areas. But when these words came from the mouth of his grandfather in this life, he had to believe it.

He knew very well that his grandfather Ning Qingshan was a knowledgeable and wise old man, and unlike ordinary mountain farmers, he would not be able to talk nonsense, nor would he be deceived by the tricks of those gods.

Moreover, he died in a car accident in China in the 21st century, but when he woke up, he found that he had come to a world that had never been seen before in history, somewhat similar to ancient China, and became a baby in a mother's body, but he still had the memory of his previous life.

Since such an incredible thing as soul wearing and reincarnating with memories can happen, it doesn't seem entirely impossible for this other world to have a Xiuzhen civilization that is different from the technological civilization of the 21st century.

Although he is no longer a helpless orphan in this life, there is only one relative in the family, his grandfather, who depends on him for his life. His mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to him, and his father disappeared when his mother was pregnant. But he was already very satisfied, and his grandfather's kindness to him made his indifferent and cold heart feel the warmth of home.

"Grandpa, if there really is an immortal cultivator, I want to be one of them. Can you tell me about immortal cultivators? Ning Cheng's eyes lit up with curiosity, and finally showed some colors that were in line with his age.

Because he was an adult when he died in his previous life, and because he was an orphan, he had experienced the world since he was a child, so he often showed a steady life that did not match his age.

Now that he finally encountered something that he was really interested in, perhaps some of them were also affected by his young physical condition, Ning Cheng behaved a little like a little hairy child who was curious to listen to the old man tell legends and stories at this time, looking impatient.

Ning Qingshan shook his head a little amusedly when he saw this, the anger just now also disappeared, and after putting down the back basket, he came to the stone table and sat down, and spoke seriously:

"Cultivating immortals is the process of absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world to strengthen one's own body, so as to break through the level of life again and again, and finally seek immortality. Legend has it that cultivating immortals to the end, they can live forever, live with heaven and earth, and even become immortals.

But this is just a legend, whether there are people who have cultivated to become immortals, it is impossible for me, a mortal, to know. However, I estimate that even if there are not many, it is too difficult and difficult to cultivate immortals, and it is a long time.

However, it is true that cultivating immortals to a high depth can increase longevity, many high-level immortal cultivators have hundreds or even thousands of years of longevity, and their mana is profound, and they can move mountains and reclaim the sea, even if they are not immortals, they can also be called land immortals. “

"I won't say much about that, because I don't know much. I'll tell you about our family line. Our Ning family was originally a very large family of cultivating immortals, cultivating immortals for generations, and had experienced a very prosperous period, and it was said that it was very famous at that time, and it was powerful all over the world, shocking the heroes.

However, due to the age of time, many records have been lost, and I don't know exactly how strong they are. I only know that the family prospered and declined later, and experienced an unknown number of changes, and moved from a far, far away place to settle here. Despite this, the momentum of family decay cannot be suppressed, and one generation is not as good as the next. ”

"Now, the originally huge Ning family is the only one left of our ancestors and grandchildren. Your great-grandfather is still a monk, although he is only a low-level monk, but relying on the alchemy and pharmaceutical techniques passed down from our Ning family's ancestors, he can live a fairly nourishing life. But in my generation, I didn't even have a spiritual root, so I couldn't cultivate at all, and I was reduced to a mortal. “

Speaking of this, Ning Qingshan's face was extremely lonely, but since he had let go of it for so many years, and he was an open-minded person, his expression quickly relaxed.

When Ning Cheng heard this, he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but interrupt Ning Qingshan's words and asked, "Grandpa, what is the spiritual root?"

"The spiritual root represents the qualifications and qualifications of the spiritual path, and not everyone has a spiritual root. Without a spiritual root, you can't absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, so you can't cultivate. There are very few people who possess spiritual roots, and they can be said to be unique among mortals.

Of course, the descendants between monks and monks have a relatively greater chance of having spiritual roots, which is also the reason why the immortal cultivation family can exist. Your grandfather and I don't have a spiritual root, but your great-grandfather told me that a spiritual root is a tangible thing, which exists in the dantian and can be seen when you look inside. ”

"There are also good and bad spiritual roots. The spiritual root is generally the attribute of the five elements, that is, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The more spiritual root attributes, the more mixed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi absorbed, the more difficult it is to purify and separate, and the more time it takes to cultivate, and the worse the qualifications.

On the contrary, the fewer spiritual roots, the better the qualifications. The fourth and fifth spiritual roots are also known as pseudo spiritual roots and waste spiritual roots, due to the extremely poor cultivation speed, it is not suitable for cultivation, and the sect rarely recruits people with this kind of spiritual roots as disciples. In addition to these five, there are also three mutated spirit roots of wind, thunder and ice, and the spirit roots of the mutation attribute cannot be matched with other attribute spirit roots, and can only be a single spirit root.

The spirit root of the mutation attribute is also called the spirit root, the spirit root is rare, and the cultivation speed is equal to that of a single five element attribute spirit root, but the spell power is greater and more subtle after practice. Therefore, monks in the same realm are often stronger than those of the Alien Spirit Root. ”

"Above the alien spirit root are the heavenly spirit root and the earth spirit root, of which the heavenly spirit root is better. There is no distinction between heaven and earth spiritual roots, and they can absorb the aura of all attributes in the outside world, and quickly transform into pure aura in the body.

Therefore, not to mention the fast cultivation speed, he can also maximize the power of any attribute of spells, and a monk with this kind of spiritual root is simply the darling of heaven and earth. However, the better the qualifications, the smaller the chance of the appearance of the spirit root, even if the average person has a spirit root, it is only four or five spirit roots, and the cultivation speed is extremely poor, and it is difficult to cultivate to a high level. ”

"Our Ning family made a fortune from alchemy medicine. And alchemy needs to be fire and wood, two kinds of spiritual roots are the best, any of the two attributes can be used, or they can coexist or be matched with other attribute spiritual roots. Pharmaceutical is the best wood and water spirit root, and it must be wood and water spirit root, one is indispensable, and more than one is indispensable.

Needless to say, alchemist is the most noble profession in the world of cultivating immortals, there are very few of them, and they have a wide range of contacts, they are quite respected, no one wants to be easily offended, and this is why your great-grandfather, as a low-level casual cultivator, can live so nourishingly with it.

If you have the opportunity to step into the realm of cultivating immortals, you will naturally understand. And only those who have spiritual power can do alchemy. If you don't have a spiritual root, it's useless to tell you, I can't cultivate spiritual energy without a spiritual root, so I can't refine the pill, and I don't know much. “

"Pharmaceuticals are the foundation of our Ning family's existence, and it is also the biggest secret of the Ning family. For our Ning family, there are two kinds of pharmaceuticals. One is to make medicines, and the other is to make potions.

Among them, making potions is the real key, and the rise and fall of the Ning family is closely related to this, and making potions must also require a certain amount of cultivation to be feasible. Medicines are very different from medicines, and the pharmaceuticals mentioned in the immortal cultivation world generally refer to making medicines, and there are very few people who know such things as medicines, and refining potions is much more difficult than alchemy.

The number of pharmacists is much rarer than the number of alchemists. Your great-grandfather can only refine some low-grade pills, and it is too difficult to refine potions, and he will not either. I won't talk much about the specifics, and I'll talk about it after you enlighten your spirit. “

"Our Ning family also has some particularities in the spiritual root, which should be the result of bloodline inheritance. The children of our Ning family have a very high chance of having a spiritual root, even much higher than other ordinary immortal cultivation families.

However, the bloodline is passed down from generation to generation, and it will become thinner and thinner, except for the occasional bloodline atavism, which may be abnormally rich or even reach the level of the first generation, but this probability is too low and can even be said to be equal to zero.

Therefore, this generation has degenerated from generation to generation, and in my generation, I don't even have a spiritual root, and your father Ning Changqing also has no spiritual root. However, compared to other mortals, your chances of obtaining the Spirit Root are still very high. The bloodline inheritance of the children of the Ning family, in addition to the most basic function of increasing the chance of having a spiritual root, also has other wonderful uses. “

"For example, most of the children of the Ning family have a high talent for alchemy and cultivating elixirs, and they are naturally close to and compatible with natural creation, especially plants, wood, fire, and water, even mortals like me who don't even have spiritual roots.

Generally, the richer and purer the bloodline, the better the inherited talent. Moreover, most of the spiritual roots that the children of the Ning family have enlightened are not separated from the three spiritual roots closely related to alchemy and medicine, such as wood, fire, and water, and have a certain degree of spiritual root attribute fixity. “

"In addition, the judgment of the Ning family's disciple Linggen's talent is different from that of ordinary people. The talents of the Wood Fire Twin Spirit Root and the Wood Water Twin Spirit Root are better than the single spirit root talent of any of these three attributes, violating the principle that the fewer spirit roots, the better. And the Wood and Water Twin Spirit Roots are generally better than the Wood Fire Twin Spirit Roots.

For the children of our Ning family, the Wood and Water Twin Spiritual Roots are the best spiritual roots, and they are more suitable for us than any kind of spiritual roots. This was not only because of its fast cultivation speed, but also because it contained the Ning family's bloodline and the talent and secrets of making potions. And the Wood Fire Twin Spirit Root is only suitable for alchemy. “

"The mystery of this should be related to the bloodline, because the stronger the bloodline of the Ning family, the more likely it is to have the two dual spirit roots of wood fire and wood water, especially the double spirit root of wood and water, and the better the bloodline, the higher the qualification, and the bonus of the bloodline promotes the cultivation speed of the double spirit root to exceed that of the single spirit root, and even as long as the concentration and purity of the bloodline are high enough, the talent of this spirit root may reach or even exceed the heavenly spirit root.

When the bloodline reaches this level, it is very likely to have some memory experience and talent inherited from the bloodline. You must know that only those top-level demon beasts can do it if they can carry out bloodline inheritance, and it is simply remarkable that the Ning family can do this as a human race.

However, if the bloodline is thin, the bonus of the bloodline is also very limited. Like your great-grandfather, the Wood Fire and Gold Three Spirit Roots, due to the thin bloodline, it is not much stronger than the ordinary Three Spirit Roots. “

It can be seen that the importance of bloodline to the Ning family. In addition to the bloodline, the Ning family's alchemy medicine, cultivation elixir, and magical powers are also equally important. The Inheritance of Words and the Inheritance of Bloodlines together form the vast and complete foundation of the Ning family's inheritance, and among all the inheritances, the inheritance of the same potion is the most important. It's just that the inheritance has been passed down to the present, and the bloodline has become thinner and thinner, and the written inheritance has also been lost a lot. After all, the current Ning family is no longer the Ning family of the past, and it is not even as good as scattered cultivation. ”

Speaking of this, Ning Qingshan sighed. Seeing this, Ning Cheng could only sigh, just listening to his grandfather's description, he could imagine how strong and brilliant the Ning family was back then, but time can always wear out many things, and it is impossible to have a forever prosperous and undefeated force, and the Ning family is the same.

He wanted to comfort his grandfather, but he felt that with his grandfather's mind, it was not necessary. Sure enough, after a while, Ning Qingshan's tumbling mood slowly calmed down automatically.

"Grandpa, what is a loose cultivation?" Ning Cheng asked puzzled.

"Speaking of loose cultivation, I have to mention the three types of forces of the sect, the immortal cultivation family and the state. For these three types of forces, in general, the sect is the strongest, followed by the Xiuxian family, and the weakest is the state.

The sect can be said to be a large, tight, and complete organization, with a clear division of labor, and a strong binding force on the monks in it. The disciples of the sect need to obey the orders of the sect, put the interests of the sect first, and contribute to the sect.

Sects generally recruit disciples within their sphere of influence, and disciples come from a wide range of sources, so geniuses are constantly emerging, and the cultivation resources they occupy are also abundant, which can better support the existence and development of the sect. ”

"The Immortal Cultivator family is a family force, but most of the family members are Immortal cultivators. Of course, the family will also provide shelter and resources for the children of the family, and the family members should also contribute to the strength of the family.

However, unlike the sect, the family pays more attention to the relationship between blood and kinship, the distinction between the descendants and branches is strict, and the tilt and distribution of resources are sometimes unfair, while the sect is relatively more objective and fair, thus providing a broader platform for the growth of true genius monks.

In addition, the Immortal Cultivation Family rarely recruits children from the outside world, and is almost entirely based on the children of the family, the children of the family are already limited, the source of geniuses is also narrow and closed, and the cultivation resources occupied are also limited, which is not enough to support the strong development of the family. It can be seen from this that the power of one family is difficult to compare with the sect composed of thousands of families after all. ＇’

"National power mainly refers to the power built around the imperial family, but it is generally weak. To mortals, they are high-level, but in fact, there are very few high-level cultivators, most of them are low-level casual cultivators who come to defect. In fact, most of the state forces are controlled by sectarian forces behind them, so as to maintain the balance of the secular world.

But occasionally there are some countries that are very strong, there is no sect in the country, it is completely controlled by the power of the royal family, the internal dignity and humility are orderly, and the hierarchy is strict, although the vitality is suppressed, but the power of a country is condensed in the royal family, and the strength cannot be underestimated, and some can even be compared to the sect. ”

"And loose cultivation, as the name suggests, does not belong to the sect, nor to the cultivator family and state forces, and is a completely free monk. However, the reason why most casual cultivators become casual cultivators is because of various unavoidable reasons, except that some of them are naturally free and unrestrained.

Except for some powerful lone rangers, most of the casual cultivators are very unsatisfactory, living in poverty, low status and strength, and are very eager to worship the sect. Your great-grandfather was a casual cultivator, but he mixed well. ”

Ning Cheng was silent for a while when he heard this, and then suddenly spoke: "It seems that the immortal cultivation world is not a good place, it is not a paradise as mortals think, idle clouds and wild cranes, and an immortal resort that has no quarrel with the world. ”

Ning Qingshan nodded in agreement: "My father, when your great-grandfather Ning Feng was still alive, I understood this truth. Mortals are like ants in their eyes, humble to the dust. Despite the support of my father, who was not badly mixed, I still felt the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world.

Strength is respected, the weak eat the strong, for the sake of cultivation and the improvement of strength, for the limited cultivation resources, you can kill people like hemp, and ambush millions of corpses.

Rivalry and competition are everywhere, intrigue and intrigue coexist, suspicion and rebellion coexist, and if you are not careful, the next moment you will reach the end of your life. All the high-level monks who have grown up step by step, which one has not lived to this day without stepping on the accumulated bones of others. “

Ning Qingshan's eyes were full of reminiscence, complicated to the extreme, maybe even he didn't know that becoming a mortal should be happy or unwilling, or both.

Retracting his thoughts, Ning Qingshan looked directly into Ning Cheng's eyes and asked, "After hearing this, do you still want to cultivate immortals now?"

Ning Cheng also looked directly into his grandfather's eyes and said firmly: "Yes." "There was no hesitation.

Ning Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect him to answer this question so quickly. As if he understood Ning Cheng's determination, Ning Qingshan shook his head, sighed, didn't think about it anymore, stretched out a hand and touched Ning Cheng's head, his eyes were full of love.

The reason why Ning Cheng answered so firmly, in addition to his natural unafraid of difficulties and challenges, love of adventure, and unwilling to live a mediocre life, is also related to his experience in his previous life.

As an orphan, he knows that difficulties are not avoided if he wants to, only with strong strength can he control his own destiny, protect the people and things he cares about, and have no regrets.

Under the light of science and technology in the 21st century, he is very bottomless, surrounded by panic all the time, maybe you think he is sick and worrying all day long, but he does not have a sense of security. It's technology that wins, not people who wins, he's always thought so.

Some people may say that the two cannot be completely separated, because technology is created by people. Maybe there is some truth to this, Koning City also saw the weakness of the human body. It can be killed by a single bullet, and it has a variety of ways to die.

As the mushroom cloud of the nuclear bomb rose from the sky, he thought that this earth, the earth on which he was treading and the place where he was born, would inevitably be destroyed. It's not anything else that will destroy humanity, it's humanity itself that will destroy itself.

Because human beings who are weak themselves cannot control the increasingly powerful things they have created. What a ridiculous sadness that it cannot be mastered, but abused, can only be destroyed, but sooner or later.

He has always believed that the strength of human beings themselves is the real strength, and even if they have to rely on external objects, they must be external objects that they can control. What is the good ending of simply creating powerful foreign objects and not being able to control them.

On Earth, too, he strives to change all of this, rather than rest on his laurels. He is obsessed with biological genetic engineering, researching ancient body refining methods, hoping to make human beings themselves strong. As a result, he achieved some achievements and became the youngest famous biochemist and medical scientist at home and abroad.

But he knew it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, and yet he didn't have a chance, and the car accident cost him his life. The root cause is that he is too weak, and it is not the destruction of a nuclear bomb that killed him, but the death of a car accident. He is not afraid of death, but he is not willing to die like this, die so poorly, and have not yet completed his career.

When Ning Cheng was about to die in a car accident, his mind quickly flashed with happiness and unwillingness, glad that he had not witnessed the arrival of human destruction, and he was unwilling to die like this. At that moment, how much he hated, hated his weakness and powerlessness, hated his own humility and incompetence, hated that he could not control his own destiny.

Now, coming to this vast different world with a cultivation civilization, how could he give up this opportunity to make himself strong.

Where no one could see, the light in his eyes bloomed brilliantly, and the fire in his heart burned brightly. It took a while for him to slowly gather his mind and return to his original calm state, but his desire to be strong remained unchanged.

"Grandpa, what's going on with the Enlightenment Ceremony?" Ning Cheng asked.

"The initiation ceremony is generally held by the sect for mortals, once every ten years, and the sect will send disciples to carry it out, and children between the ages of 6 and 18 who have not yet enlightened can participate, and once a child with acceptable qualifications is found, the sect will directly admit him as a disciple. For those who are not qualified but have spiritual roots, the sect will test them, and those who pass the test will be admitted.

Under normal circumstances, the best period for awakening the spiritual root is between the ages of 6 and 12. After the age of 18, it is difficult to awaken the spiritual root, and even if it is awakened, it will delay the best period of cultivation, in this case, unless the awakened spiritual root is really good, it is not suitable for cultivation, and the sect will rarely accept people in this situation as disciples. ”

"You've just passed your 6th birthday, so it's the perfect age. If you awaken the spiritual root earlier, you will be able to practice earlier, and the golden period of cultivation will be longer. And as long as you have a spiritual root, according to the particularity of the Ning family's spiritual root, the qualifications must not be much worse. Thinking of this, Ning Qingshan was also happy.

Ning Cheng nodded, obviously happy with this situation.

"If you awaken the spiritual root and have the opportunity to worship the sect, don't hesitate, enter the sect and cultivate well, only by entering the sect can you get more cultivation resources and become stronger. As for me, you don't need anyone's care for your grandfather, I can live well by myself, you don't have to worry.

Your great-grandfather told me before he died that he regretted not joining a sect. If he can worship the sect, with his ability to make alchemy and medicine, the sect will definitely cultivate him well, he will definitely be able to cultivate to a higher realm, and his longevity can also increase by two hundred years, at least he can bless me for a lifetime, and he will have more time to study and inherit the skills passed down from his ancestors. Ning Qingshan said earnestly.

"In addition, after you enter the sect, you must be careful not to let others discover the secrets of our Ning family, otherwise you will be killed. You don't have to think about anything about recovering my Ning family, it's too difficult and too difficult.

Even if you have this ability in the future, a family will bring you pressure and burden, and it will be difficult to cultivate to a higher level when you are distracted by external affairs. Besides, I also saw it, which force will not experience the rise and fall of glory and defeat, our Ning family has been glorious and has a place in history, and this is enough.

What the family gives to its children is shelter and fulfillment, not a drag. I, who is a grandfather, am also selfish, regardless of the family's righteousness, I just hope you can be well, so it's good. Besides, you are the only one left in our family, whether it is for me and your dead mother, or for the continuation of the family bloodline, you should be fine. ”

Ning Qingshan looked at his grandson, his eyes full of pity and open-mindedness.

Ning Cheng listened, and his eye frames couldn't help but be moist and red.

All along, because of the memories of the past life, he always treated everything in this life with the attitude of a bystander, almost indifferently, although he was moved, he still had defense and evasion, afraid of being hurt. But now, he finally really let go of the past and identified with his current identity and everything.

As for the future, he will become stronger, protect everything he cherishes, and fulfill his long-cherished wish.
