161. The path of cultivation
The three big men who were still ridiculing Dai Mingdao just now had no soul at this time, their eyes were round, and the hara in their mouths was flowing to the ground, and they didn't come back to their senses. When Jin Yezhen saw Zhao Fatzi's pig brother-like appearance, she was so angry that she was beaten back by a women's singles, which brought his soul back.
Deming Dao was really amazed when he saw Blaney's new image, but he saw more beautiful women, and his immunity was naturally much higher than that of the three big men, and the surprised look did not last long on his face before returning to normal, and he quietly rated Blaney with a high score of 95 points in his heart, second only to the perfect little Lori Meng Yuanyun.
Blaney unleashes the "Mirror of Water" magic she has just learned, summoning a giant water mirror and posing for it in various poses. The girls also gathered around and kept praising her beauty.
"Well, although this is just the effect of illusion, it won't be long before it will be lifted, but this little girl will look like this after she transforms." The old man stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.
"Transfiguration!?" Blaney was so sensitive to these two words that he didn't even look in the mirror, so he quickly jumped up and grabbed the old man's arm and shook it vigorously, pleading in his mouth: "Old man, did you just say the transformation?" Is there anything you can do to make me shapeshift? ”
"You mean Transfiguration?" The old man naturally knew what Blaney wanted, and laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a copy of "Transfiguration", I see that your little girl is so similar to my Tipraia, this "Transfiguration" will be given to you as a welcome gift. As he spoke, the old man took out a jade slip out of nowhere and handed it to Blaney, and said earnestly: "Cultivate well, and when you succeed in cultivation in the future, you can become a cultivator and practice more powerful cultivation techniques." ”
Blaney hurriedly accepted the unexpected joy, thanked the old man for his kindness, and then stepped aside and put the jade slip on his forehead, read the exercise information inside, and began to study it carefully.
"Hehe, old man, you can't be partial, you see that we have so many people here, do you say ......" Deming Dao's eyes rolled and began to rhythm.
"You kid is counting again. Seeing each other is fate, even if you don't say it, I will give you benefits. The old man slanted a glance at Dai Mingdao and said with a straight face: "This cultivation thing needs to be done steadily, and you must choose the path you will take in the future at the beginning." There are three types of spiritual paths in the world of Pridas:
The first is the path of physical cultivation, which is to practice the muscles and bones on the outside and breath on the inside, while constantly polishing and strengthening one's body, gradually accumulate and run the 'true qi' through meditation and exercise, and then exert the ultimate strength of the body, specialize in the mystery of martial arts, and be able to split mountains and break waves, and become a martial artist;
The second is the spiritual path of cultivation, giving up physical training, specializing in one's own spiritual power, and communicating with the elements through accumulated meditation, so as to master the infinite elemental power, move towards the peak of magic, and become a mage;
The third is the path of spiritual cultivation, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, constantly polishing one's body and spirit, and becoming a cultivator.
The above three different paths are what you need to choose before cultivating, have you thought about it? ”
"What are the advantages and disadvantages of these three paths?" Demingdao asked what everyone thought in a timely manner.
"Among the three, the cultivator is the most powerful, and after the cultivation is reached, he can go to heaven and earth and be omnipotent, almost equivalent to the 'immortals' that you call on the earth. However, this path of cultivation is closely related to 'spiritual power', and once you leave the environment of spiritual power, you will become weaker and weaker because you cannot get the replenishment of spiritual power;
Although the spiritual path of cultivation also depends on the elements, the elements exist in the entire space, and they are almost inexhaustible, so there is no need to worry about losing them, but as a magical profession, his body is very fragile, which anyone with a little common sense should know;
As for the path of physical cultivation, it is even more unrestricted by the environment, as long as there is water, food, and air, you can go anywhere, as for the weaknesses...... Just think of the average soldier on the battlefield. The old man introduced to everyone.
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Lu Rong, William, Zhao Dianlai and Jin Yizhen and said, "I suggest that it is better for you four babies not to take the road of cultivation." The four of you broke down before the foundation building period was consummated, and you basically lost your qualifications to become cultivators. Forcibly cultivating is like crossing the sea in a lonely boat, and there are thousands of difficulties. ”
"And this kind of statement? Why didn't the cultivation exercises I read before say anything about this? Lu Rong and William were not happy. After learning that they couldn't cast magic, they had been dreaming of going to the "Brustein Interstellar Alliance" to test whether they could practice spiritual power, and now the old man's words dashed their hopes.
"You must know: the exercises circulating on the Puridas Internet are all things that were researched by the human race 40,000 years ago, and after such a long time, and countless wars, many precious secret techniques, points and knowledge have turned into dust. How many cultivators of all races who are still cultivating on the 'Planet Brustan' can be called powerful? They themselves don't know why their cultivation is progressing so slowly, and you still expect them to teach you these unknown knowledge? The old man seemed to sneer at those cultivators, and his tone was full of disdain.
Then the old man explained to everyone the reason why it is not recommended for the four of them to cultivate the truth: "The body that the monks have exercised in the first stage of cultivation, the forging period, is like a bowl in my hand; The second stage - the aura of heaven and earth absorbed during the Qi training period is like the wine in this bowl; The third stage, the foundation building period, is to continuously ferment the wine in the bowl to make it more fragrant and mellow, and at the same time, the mellow wine also stimulates the bowl of wine, so that it gradually transforms, becomes larger and has a better texture. The foundation building period is the critical period of transformation from a mortal body to a cultivator, and by constantly stimulating the spiritual power in the monk's body and combining with his own body, he will continue to strengthen and make the final preparations for the 'transcendental'. Breaking through the foundation building period and breaking before reaching the fusion period, it is equivalent to digging a big hole at the bottom of this bowl, and the heaven and earth aura absorbed before has leaked, where is the combination and strengthening? ”
The old man's words directly disappointed the four of them, and secretly regretted that they shouldn't be young and frivolous.
"You don't have to be so disappointed, didn't I say it, Xiuzhen is just one of the paths, you have two other paths to choose from, don't you? What's more, I just said that it is extremely difficult to cultivate after breaking the body, and I didn't say that it is absolutely impossible. The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "There is a way to help you bypass this 'broken bowl' and go directly to the 'basin' of the fusion period." The way is to find a cultivator of the opposite sex who is at least in the Jindan stage and you to double cultivate, and use his or her own powerful spiritual power to help you build a foundation. This bowl was directly stretched to the size of a basin, and even if there was such a small hole in the bottom of the basin, it would be harmless compared to the large amount of spiritual energy obtained from daily cultivation. However, no matter what kind of cultivation you are, you should be down-to-earth and gradual, and this opportunistic approach will cause your foundation to be vain, which will be harmful to your future practice. I said that your future path to cultivation will be extremely difficult, not only in the fact that the difficulty of upgrading your level has greatly increased, but also in the fact that the probability of being annihilated under the Heavenly Tribulation has also increased exponentially when you break through the realm. ”
"We're not going to take the path of cultivating the truth anymore." Jin Yizhen grabbed Zhao Dianlai's arm and said categorically, "If you dare to double cultivate with other women behind my back, see if I don't clean you up!" Not even for the sake of forming a golden pill! ”
"Hey, you've only been working for a few days, and you've been in that relationship so soon? Isn't that too fast, was your first time yesterday or the day before yesterday? Demingdao teased ambiguously.
"Get out of the way, how can we tell you the secret?" Zhao Fatzi swept away his previous depressed color, and said with a smile on his red face, with a proud posture of a person who came over.
"What about you?" Demingdao turned his head and teased Lu Rong and William again.
"Hehe, I'm much more colorful, at that time, with my parkour skills, didn't those girls in my hometown take the initiative to give them a hug? Lao Tzu was already a hundred people at the age of sixteen! William boasted smugly.
"Come on, look at what you blow, if it's really like what you said, let alone parkour, it's hard for you to stand and tremble." Demingdao despised William.
"Hey, one misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, young and crazy! At that time, I was depressed, so I went to find stimulation to numb myself, you know. Lu Rong shook his head in annoyance and sighed. Dai Mingdao patted Lu Rong's shoulder sympathetically, and began to think about how to use Lu Rong's appraisal to rectify the Wa Kingdom.
Suddenly, Dai Mingdao seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at An on the side with an ambiguous face, and said in a slurp: "I don't know who said that he was experienced, and he looked down on people, it turned out to be a paper tiger!" ”
Ann's face was obviously red, but she immediately retorted: "Yo, the little fart kid ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to provoke the old lady?" Is the old lady experienced, don't you come to try it and know? I'm afraid that you have the heart of this thief but not the courage of this thief! ”
Ann's counterattack killed Demingdao and abandoned his armor, and he immediately retreated, shouting that he couldn't afford to provoke this violent woman possessed by the salty and wet uncle.
The old man naturally laughed when he watched them bickering. He hadn't been happier in a long time. After laughing, he suggested: "This little doll with strong body and endurance has no spiritual roots, and the elemental adaptability is only one and two grades, and there is almost no future for taking the magic route, I suggest you take the route of martial arts cultivation and focus on sharpening your martial arts; This white-skinned kid has more than five grades of light and dark elemental adaptability, and it is just in a state of balance, if you take the route of magic alone, you may bury your talent in speed, I suggest you take the path of combining magic and martial arts such as magic swordsman; This girl is amazing, a super-grade fire spirit root, if she cultivates the truth, she is a rare fire cultivation genius, it is a pity to break her body so early, but your fire element adaptability is also extremely strong, and you can also reach the height of the fire demon god by cultivating this system; As for you little fat man...... Miscellaneous spirit root, I think the equipment on your body is very interesting, and it is also a good choice to take the road of equipment and armament, if you can cultivate hard, and then cooperate with strong armor, maybe you can go out of a different path, you can be happy to come no matter what. ”
It is not until now that everyone finally knows why the "Pan Min" in front of him is drowning, and he will be weak when he encounters water, and he can't learn to swim, which is restrained by the water!
The old grandfather gave Lu Rong, William and Zhao Fatzi their own martial arts cultivation techniques, and taught William about the methods of cultivating light and dark magic, and finally took out a piece of jade slip that recorded various fire-based magic and handed it to Jin Yizhen, telling her to practice hard. The four of them thanked Dade for accepting the exercise and stepped aside.
The old man glanced at the others again, and then pointed out their attributes one by one: Li Lifei is an eight-rank fire spirit root; Xiao Wei is the water and soil dual spirit root of the five-grade water spirit root and the six-grade earth spirit root; Meng Yuanyun is a super grade (more than nine grades) wood spirit root and a three-grade gold spirit root; An is a six-grade earth spirit root, a three-grade gold spirit root, and a first-grade wood spirit root; Xiaolan is a seventh-grade wood spirit root and a second-grade golden spirit root; Blaney, without exception, is the Seven Rank Water Spirit Root; Their spiritual roots are all strong and strong, and they are very suitable for cultivating the True Cultivation Method. Mu Xiaodie is more special, it is said that it is the miscellaneous spiritual root of the five series, and it is not like the general miscellaneous spiritual root that only has one or two grades, and it is extremely difficult to improve, say that she is a powerful spiritual root, although each department is a spiritual root of the fifth grade, but each spiritual root is mutually reinforcing and canceling each other, which is as entangled as her magical affinity. As for Dai Mingdao, he was not within the scope of these three kinds of cultivation at all, he was completely different, and the old man didn't explain anything at all.
The old man first distributed exercises suitable for each person, and then said to Mu Xiaodie: "Little girl, your situation is quite special, whether it is taking the magic route or the cultivation route, this beginning is the most difficult. If you don't show affinity, you can't mobilize the elements into the body, and if you don't show the spiritual root, you can't collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, only by breaking these inherent balances in your body can you really embark on the path of cultivation, once your cultivation is on the right track, then the future path of cultivation will be much more stable than that of ordinary people. The exercise I gave you is called "Five Elements and Nine Turns to Awaken the Divine Formula", which is a high-grade exercise of the Hong Ladder, and there are eight articles in it, in addition to the first general article, the second awakening chapter and the eighth magic chapter, the remaining five articles You can choose your favorite four articles to practice, and then practice the remaining one after you succeed in the Dan, but you must remember: Taste it shallowly, and do not be greedy for merit. Otherwise, the spiritual power in your body will be balanced again, and then you will become a flowery frame with empty cultivation and no spiritual power. Only when you reach the integration period can you make up for your shortcomings and prepare for future tribulations. ”
