Chapter 3 My lingling roots are as big as turnips
Immortals are different, this is an ancient saying that has been spread in Kyushu for thousands of years, mortals without immortal fate can only look up to the immortal road. And mortals cultivating immortals, this is something that has only happened in the past thousand years. What was able to break through the barrier between immortals and mortals was a miracle founded by the people of the immortal path a thousand years ago.
That is, the famous Liuhe Linggen.
The so-called Liuhe Linggen is the invention of Liuhe Zhenren, the ancestor of Shengjing Xianmen, thousands of years ago. With the unique heart method and the refining of the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Treasure, and taking it for forty-five consecutive days, even mortals can also have the spiritual root of cultivating immortals, breaking the iron law that there is no one in ten thousand talents in cultivating immortals.
It's a pity that the Six Harmony Spiritual Root is even inferior to the pseudo Spiritual Root of the Five Elements Spiritual Root, and even if the Five Elements Spiritual Root practices are practiced, it is expected that the foundation will be built after practicing for fifty years. But even if the Liuhe Spiritual Root has been cultivated for a hundred years, it is often struggling to wander at the ** level of Qi cultivation, and is often jokingly called the "experience version of the spiritual root", "castrated version of the spiritual root" or "Akarin spiritual root".
This kind of artificial spiritual root broke the common sense that lasted for 10,000 years and caused a great sensation, but the spiritual root itself could not be put on the table after all, even if the immortal cultivation world could obtain thousands of newcomers because of this, what was the use of asking a group of waste people who couldn't build a foundation? To be a slave is inefficient. So people put the matter down after a moment of heat.
But Liuhe himself did not put it, Liuhe Linggen is just the beginning, and what is hidden behind is a great opportunity, which others can't see, but the ancestor of Liuhe, as the inventor, is clear.
At that time, the ancestor of Liuhe had the cultivation of the peak of the body, and he was only one step away from the Mahayana period, and the immortal Dao Mahayana, the life span was almost endless, and he stepped into the immortal gate with half a foot, but the Liuhe Taoist did not take this step until his death and Taoism, and he dedicated the last hundred years of his life to the artificial spiritual root.
Therefore, there are seven clever spiritual roots, eight treasure spiritual roots, nine spiritual roots, and ten spiritual roots...... The effect is getting stronger and stronger, until it is comparable to the natural dual-attribute compound spirit rootβsecond only to the Heavenly Spirit Root, the Earth Spirit Root, and a few Alien Spirit Roots, which can be called the best. With these, the artificial spiritual root finally gained a firm foothold in the immortal cultivation world, and gradually promoted, and finally transformed the entire immortal cultivation world. The Liuhe Patriarch is also famous for eternity, and is as famous as the Immortal Qin Emperor who unified Kyushu in the old days, and the Desheng Taizu who led the Immortal Demon War, and has become the only "true immortal" in the immortal cultivation world who has not ascended.
Then, a thousand years have passed, artificial spiritual roots have become the most common things in the world of cultivating immortals, ten cultivators, there are ** people who are artificial spiritual roots, Jindan, Yuanying cultivation is not uncommon, even in the realm of gods, there are many people who have cultivated to it for thousands of years.
But it's not that cultivating immortals has rotten the streets, Shengjing Immortal Gate has led the immortal cultivation world to transform artificial spiritual roots for thousands of years, but the cost of high-quality spiritual roots is still astronomical, and artificial spiritual roots only solve the problem of whether mortals can cultivate immortals, and it is inconvenient That's another matter. Of course, after thousands of years of development, the cost of artificial spiritual roots has dropped a lot compared to the beginning, but it has not been reduced to the point that you can buy a prosperous future with a mere hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and this price is only six and spiritual roots.
That's right, Old Man Wang regards it as a treasure of ascending immortal powder, of course, it is Liuhe San, once it is taken once, the six and spiritual roots are in hand, and from then on you can say goodbye to the immortals - except for the pheasant cottage like Qixingmen, it is impossible for any decent righteous path immortal gate to accept the six and spiritual roots to get started, and it is not good to be a hard worker!
And the Spirit Sword Sect is still a rare ancient school in the world of cultivating immortals today, as the name suggests, it is to practice in accordance with the ancient law, the explanation of this ancient method is very cumbersome, and to put it clearly, the artificial spiritual root is not to be discussed.
That's right, the Spirit Sword Sect does not accept artificial spiritual roots, even if it is comparable to the legendary compound spiritual root, and the twelve-story building spiritual root that can be compared with the earth spiritual root, the door must be a pure and natural monk, and there is a chance given by heaven and earth, referred to as an organic monk.
If you want to say that the reason is simple: the artificial spiritual root is defective after all, and it is inferior to the natural spiritual root in the same realm, and now in the Kyushu Continent, there are many masters of artificial spiritual roots, and there are very few top masters, so many high-end sects are a little taboo about this.
However, the Spirit Sword Sect's dedication is no longer a beautiful talk in today's immortal cultivation world, but a strange talk or even a joke, because there is a clear reason here, the quality is not enough to make up for the quantity! Even if the strength of the artificial spirit root of the same realm is slightly inferior, the quantity of ten times can make up for all quality defects. The survival of the fittest in the immortal cultivation world, the power of the artificial spiritual root is placed here, and if others use it, you don't use it, that is self-destruction. Within the sect, there is a system within the sect that distinguishes between organic and inorganic monks, but keeps out artificial spiritual roots? That's fundamentalism.
Therefore, the decline of the Spirit Sword Sect in recent years is not surprising, although it is ranked as one of the five major sects, but the actual influence is probably worse than that of the second-level Vientiane Sect and the Liuyun Sect, if it weren't for the fact that the sects that have opened the mountain gate are becoming more and more rare, the Spirit Sword Sect's Immortal Ascension Conference would not have been so popular.
However, more than half of the young talents gathered in Lingxi Town now have artificial spiritual roots, because the Spirit Sword Sect made it clear when it held a conference: under the age of twelve, there is no cultivation, and the rest of the conditions are not limited. So many people are speculating, could it be that the Spirit Sword Sect has been stubborn for a thousand years and finally opened its mind?
But Wang Lu didn't think there was such a good thing, if the Spirit Sword Sect was really enlightened, why bother to open an immortal ascension conference to screen the people, find a few people with acceptable mental intelligence, and stuff it with a panacea, and the new stars of the sect will rise one by one.
And......
"When did I say I was mortal?"
Scholar Wang Zhong is not a stupid person, and when he hears the young master talk about this, no matter how unbelievable he is, he should understand......
"Young Master, you...... Got a spiritual root? β
Wang Lu snorted and dismissed.
Wang Zhong was completely dumbfounded, smelling the fragrant bacon spirit in the room, and only felt that he was simply stupid.
ββ
At the same time, in the lobby of the inn, the princelings from Tiannan and Haibei succumbed to the obscenity of the proprietress and finally had a rare purity, but at this moment, a squeaky ox cart outside the door stopped, and the old man driving walked into the inn with a smile on his face: "Boss, the firewood you want." β
The proprietress ignored the answer: "Okay, I know the way, move the things to the back kitchen, and settle the bill at the end of the month." After saying that, he shook his hand and drove people away, and the cordial gesture of this businessman was really touching.
But the old man walked to the counter carelessly: "Boss, warm two bowls of wine and a plate of fennel beans." β
The proprietress glared at him, and the vicious gaze made many people in the lobby shudder. The old man smiled like a spring breeze, and then discharged a lot of money in front of the counter.
Staring at the nine tattered copper coins, the proprietress did not kick the old man out of the door, put away the copper coins, and brought them two bowls of wine and a plate of fennel beans, which made Wen Bao, who had spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy a jar of wine, sad.
The old man and the proprietress were obviously acquaintances, the old man was drinking wine and chatting about homely things, which were nothing more than trivial matters in the town, and the proprietress listened quietly although her face was uncertain. And the well-intentioned people in the lobby, who experienced Wang Lu's accommodation voucher incident, also pricked up their ears and tried to discover new clues.
But until the old man finished drinking, wiped his mouth and was about to leave, and no one in the audience found any inspiration, Haiyunfan's face sank like water, Wen Bao looked dazed, and a few people showed thoughtful expressions trying to fish in troubled waters.
"Huh?"
When the old man turned around to leave, he suddenly moved his nose and looked up at the second floor: "This smell...... Whose bear child? I dare to eat anything! β
The proprietress also frowned and sniffed: "Bacon Ling? Blame, how is he? β
"Huh? Who is it? β
The proprietress glanced at him: "A certain guest who lives in the upper room." β
"Hmm, live in a room? Which is the upper room? β
The proprietress snorted very disdainfully: "I have a lot of upper rooms here? Then he frowned, "No, I need to go up and have a look......"
The old man was taken aback: "So solemn? β¦β¦ Not really, right? β
The proprietress pondered for a moment: "That's right, go up like this to make a nameless, don't let people think it's harassment for no reason...... Well, I'll go up and sell my daughter red. β
After speaking, the proprietress stretched out her slender jade fingers, steadily picked up the huge wine jar, and kicked upstairs. The old man was stunned for a moment and followed behind.
The diners in the lobby looked at each other, but no one dared to catch up with them.
If you smash your face on the half-human-high wine jar, you will definitely die.
ββ
"There is indeed only one way for mortals to cultivate immortals, but when did I say that I am a mortal?"
"Young Master, you...... Do you have spiritual roots? β
When the proprietress walked outside the door, she had already heard the conversation in the upper room, frowned slightly, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
It seems that everything is just a misunderstanding, and the fierce man who cracked the chain of twelve consecutive quests will not be planted on a bacon spirit, and he is making a fuss.
Since it was a misunderstanding, the daughter of the 5,000 taels in his hand didn't have to come to the door to sell it...... Tsk, it's better to sell it to the Hai Yunfan downstairs, with a deep haze on the face of the city, not white!
The proprietress turned to leave, but she listened to the conversation in the room.
"Young Master, dare to ask, are you ...... What spiritual root? β
The pace slowed down, and the proprietress became curious.
"Heavenly Spirit Root, of course."
With a shake of his hand, the wine jar almost hit his foot.
Heavenly Spirit Root!?
Turning his head suddenly, the old man behind him was also surprised when he heard it, and the next moment, the old man glanced forward deeply, his cloudy eyes revealed a little starlight, and then laughed: "The qualifications are indeed good, but ...... Heavenly Spirit Root? β
"He thought it was a big white radish!"
