Linggen: "Pan Long has heard of this thing. It is said that among the immortal sects, there is a school of thought that the foundation of cultivation lies in exercising and cultivating one's own spiritual roots, promoting their growth, and finally completing the evolution of life.

According to that school of thought, people's qualifications are determined innately, and only those who have spiritual roots can cultivate and achieve results, while those who do not have spiritual roots will only be in vain in their cultivation no matter what kind of cultivation they have.

There are no theories fabricated out of thin air that can be popular, and all theories that can be widely accepted by people are all based on facts, and the same is true of the spiritual root theory.

Since ancient times, people have found that when different people cultivate, the effect is very different. The level of effort is about the same, the resources invested are about the same, some people can successfully cultivate, and some people can only have very poor results.

If this is a gap in qualifications, it obviously doesn't make sense—everyone has hands and feet, no physical disabilities, and there is no significant difference in wisdom, so how can the qualifications for cultivation be so poor?

In particular, there are some people, no matter how they cultivate, whether they work hard or consume a lot of resources, they are never able to achieve much practical effect in their cultivation, at most they enter the door, and then they get stuck in this step of entry, and they can no longer progress.

In order to explain this situation, the theory of spiritual roots was proposed, and it was widely accepted for a time.

However, this set of theories has long been outdated.

Because later cultivators found a way to make the kind of "spiritless root" also be able to cultivate, through the assistance of elixir and their own efforts, combined with the exercises corresponding to their own physique, and spend enough time and cost, they can make the so-called "spiritless person" also have a good spiritual root.

Such a person is probably not as good as those with outstanding talents, and the cultivation results are not only not worse than ordinary people, but even better.

In the face of the hard facts, the spiritual root theory soon lost the market, and now no one is entangled in this anymore, it is said that even the people in the immortal sect, when cultivating, they must first do the step of "forging the spiritual root" - simply just default to the fact that everyone has no spiritual root.

After all, the spiritual root cannot be easily measured. Instead of spending huge resources or asking the Immortal Buddha to identify the spiritual root, it is better to forge the spiritual root directly, the cost is much lower and more cost-effective.

Pan Long's understanding of the spiritual root theory is so much.

He couldn't even confirm that his understanding was definitely right, because some of these came from the old master who learned from Dingfeng Town, some came from the idle books at home, some came from the stories of the gossip of the Jianghu guests, and some even came from the drama.

These pieces of knowledge from different sources are a mess, and no matter how hard you try to piece them together, you can only piece them together like this.

But now, he has a more intuitive judgment.

The saying of "forging spiritual roots" does exist!

The evidence was naturally the acquired spiritual root he had just obtained.

Judging from this acquired spiritual root, he should also be the kind of person who has no congenital spiritual root, at least his innate spiritual root should not be outstanding.

Otherwise, it is said that the power of the immortal peach should be activated by the innate spirit root, not the forging of the acquired spirit root for him.

But in fact, it doesn't matter, not to mention that the acquired spiritual root can be sublimated to the innate spiritual root in the future, even if it is only the acquired spiritual root, it is enough for cultivation.

There is a play in the play called "The Legend of Seeking Immortals", which tells the story of a mortal with a very poor spiritual root who stumbles and bumps all the way to seek immortals, goes through countless hardships and hardships, and finally cultivates the story of growth and immortality.

The drama is not necessarily true, but in the absence of counterexamples, he has no reason to deny the narrative of the play.

After all, the author of this drama is Wen Chaogong, who is a super bull who created the cultural history of Daxia.

There's no reason for people to make it up.

Pan Long rested for a while before walking out of the wooden house.

I don't know how long it has been, the crowd in the square outside has long since dispersed, only the four washed peaches on a large plate next to the door prove that everyone has not forgotten him, and the peach banquet also has his share.

When he saw these peaches, he suddenly felt a little hungry, so he sat down on the steps and ate them all, as if he had eaten a meal.

While he was eating peaches, the door of the wooden house next to him was also pushed open, and Fan Yan walked out.

He saw Pan Long sitting on the steps eating peaches, stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"What a coincidence. He said, "You and I have absorbed the medicinal power of Xiantao almost at the same time, and it is also fate." ”

As he spoke, he wiped his hand on his waist, and then he added a delicate silver wine jug and threw it at Pan Long: "If you are fated, you should have a drink, I have a treat." ”

Pan Long smiled, took the flask, unscrewed the lid, and took a big sip.

This wine is mellow and slightly greasy, the aroma is rich, drink it in one sip, the sweetness is filled with chest, it is really a rare good wine!

"Good wine!"

"Nature is a good wine. Fan Yan also took out such a wine jug and took a big sip himself, "One of the main livelihoods of my Qingge Club is to make wine, and all flowers, fruits, grains, and honey can be used to make wine, each with its own merits. ”

"And my favorite is this osmanthus nectar wine. This wine is made of osmanthus honey and a variety of autumn flowers and fruits, with specially selected suitable spring water, and it is about more than 10,000 catties in a year. Often before leaving the cellar, people have already blocked the door and ordered most of it. ”

Saying that, he sighed: "This is the wine that came out of the cellar last year, and there is not much left." ”

Pan Long smiled: "Since there are not many, then you have to taste it carefully." ”

"That's right, good wine is for drinking!"

A small pot of wine was not much, but in a few moments, the two of them finished drinking. Fan Yan stood up, he first saluted in the direction of the immortal peach tree, then saluted towards the single-family wooden house where Ren Changsheng lived, and finally arched his hand to Pan Long, saying, "If Brother Pan passes by Jinguan City in the future, you can come to Brother Qinghui to talk about it." At that time, I don't dare to say anything else, and the wine is enough. ”

Then he walked away without looking back.

"This person is also free and easy, and the previous arrogant color is probably just a means he uses to protect himself. After all, the Qingge Club is also a famous family in Yizhou, with a big family and a big business, if he is not cold and puts on a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, I am afraid that he will not get tired of it. ”

Hearing this, Pan Long turned his head, looked at Ren Anmin who came over, and called his grandfather with a smile.

"How's the situation?" Ren asked.

"Very good, not only has the state of the meridians improved significantly, but I even felt my own spirituality awakening. ”

Ren Anmin smiled with satisfaction: "The other three have already woken up and left, and we should leave too." ”

"What about the old ancestor, don't you go and say goodbye to him?"

"Haha, if the old ancestor wanted to see us, he would have already come out. Since he closed the door, he just didn't want to say goodbye to us. Let's go, if you succeed in cultivating in the future, you can come back to see your ancestors in the future. If you can cultivate into a real person, maybe the ancestor will directly hand over this piece of Suitao Mountain's inheritance to you. ”

The two of them walked out of the formation that shrouded the clearing on the top of the mountain and blew a special whistle outside the peach forest. After a while, the two Yunsheng beasts came out of the peach forest, which was exactly what they had ridden when they came.

returned to Ren's house, and the two went to see the old lady again. The old lady asked in detail which people had obtained the immortal peach, and then after thinking for a long time, he said: "People in the Demon Gate should not be provoked; the reputation of the Jiang family in Tiantai Mountain is not very good, don't get too close to him; the origin of the scattered people in the rivers and lakes is unknown, so you should be careful; but Fan Yan of the Qingge Society and Minghe of Qingcheng Mountain are all famous and righteous, and they can make friends with one or two." ”

Seeing that Pan Long nodded in agreement, the old lady emphasized again: "My words are just one-sided words, if you get along with them in the future, remember to be careful." There are also good people in the Demon Gate, and there are also evil people in the righteous path. Good people can be your enemies for a variety of reasons, and evil people can help you in turn...... People need to grasp themselves in the rivers and lakes, and they need to be flexible in their ideas and work, and don't be old-fashioned. ”

Pan Long nodded again.

The old lady smiled and asked, "What weapons do you usually use?"

"I have a sword. ”

"Let's take it out and see. ”

Pan Long took out the dimensional bag, reached in with his hand, pretended to draw it from it, and took out the divine long knife.

The old lady carefully studied the knife and nodded with a smile: "Good knife! With such a weapon, there is no need to equip you with a blade." ”

He stood up, went to the inner room to fetch a pair of gray bracers, and handed them to Pan Long.

"Your Qiankun bag is a bit of an eyesore, just keep it for storing some bulky things, and don't put the important items you carry in it. This pair of bracers was made when I was young, not to mention the sword-proof, and there is still about a square space in the left hand, which can save some things, and it is very convenient to take and place. ”

Pan Long was taken aback, he didn't expect this bracer to be a treasure for storage, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but the old lady said: "This thing is quite precious, if you have a more suitable treasure in the future, and return it, I can take it into the coffin." ”

This blocked Pan Long's refusal.

When they said goodbye and went out, they heard the old lady's words come from the house: "If I am already in the coffin by then, pass it on to your children." You must not disturb a dead person for an object. ”

There was a smile in his voice, and it was clear that the old lady didn't take death seriously.

Back in the courtyard of Ren Anmin's family, all the uncles and children of the younger generations came to inquire about it. Pan Long told them again, and when they learned that the immortal peach tree had only grown a little bit in two hundred and forty years, and it might take thousands of years to really grow, everyone was amazed.

And when Pan Long was about to leave the next day, the farewell people crowded into a bunch.

Among these people, there are both close relatives of the grandfather's line and distant relatives of other lines. Even the elders who opposed him to visit his ancestors at the beginning, although they didn't come, the juniors in the family also came to see him off.

The wood is already in the boat, and what is the point of putting on a cold face?

In Uncle Chen's exclamation that "it's a pity that you didn't learn the secret book of Shaoqing", Pan Long said goodbye to his relatives one by one, rode on the horse given by his uncle, and went all the way away with the sound of horses' hooves, ending the peaceful and pleasant life of visiting relatives in the past few months.
