Just when Ding Qin was surprised, an elder stepped forward and saluted Ding Qin, "Thank you for helping my tribe." ”

Ding Qin was a little embarrassed, "It's just a matter of effort, the elders don't have to be polite." It's just that this girl ......."

The elder said, "Previously, Gongzi took action and saved Zou Lan's life. According to the custom of our tribe, Zou Lan should bow three times and bow nine times to his benefactor. ”

Ding Qin hurriedly stepped forward to help Zou Lan, where could he afford such a courtesy. Unexpectedly, the elder personally stopped him, "Childe doesn't have to mind. This is the rule of the tribe, if Zou Lan does not salute, I am afraid that he will not be able to gain a foothold in the tribe in the future. ”

Ding Qin still wanted to refuse, but the woman named Zou Lan had already squeezed out two words from between her teeth, "Thank you." Then, she bowed down and began to salute Ding Qin.

From her tone, it was obvious that she was also very unwilling to bow to the process.

It was precisely because of her attitude that the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat awkward. After saluting, Zou Lan got up and glanced at the elder, "After saluting, can I go?"

The elder was a little displeased, "Go ahead." Tonight, however, we have our usual banquet for your guests, and you must come. ”

Zou Lan didn't speak, turned around and left.

The elder didn't care about her, turned to Ding Qin and said, "Childe, you have been kind to our tribe, no matter how you came, according to the rules, we will thank you with a feast tonight." I hope you don't shirk this. ”

Ding Qin smiled, "Since we are going to stay in the tribe for one night, let's follow the rules of the tribe." It just so happened that I had a lot to ask the elders about. ”

The elder laughed, "Qi Pu, take the two guests to the guest room." ”

After careful preparation, when it was just dark, a bonfire was lit in the open space of the tribe, and all the people gathered together for dinner. Ding Qin and He Yan naturally sat in the center, accompanied by not only the two elders, but also those who attacked to resist the green-tailed wolf at that time, including Zou Lan.

The elder gave a brief introduction and regarded Ding Qin and He Yan as god-sent benefactors. Ding Qin learned that these green-tailed wolves had come to harass them again and again recently, and the tribe was deeply disturbed. And this time, the head wolf was injured, and it is estimated that he will not dare to come again.

The meal was based on green-tailed wolf meat, supplemented by a variety of wild fruits and vegetables from the jungle and Lake Lake fish, as well as a secret drink called bamboo silk made by the tribe.

The green-tailed wolf meat is grilled over fire, whether it is the heat or the choice of condiments, it is just right, and the grilled meat is very crispy and delicious.

All kinds of wild fruits and vegetables are fresh, and Lake Lake's seafood is also specially prepared and delicious.

In particular, the bamboo silk drink is cool in the mouth and slightly sweet, and the whole body is comfortable when you drink it.

The atmosphere of the whole dinner was very pleasant, but there was only one thing that puzzled Ding Qin. Every time the two elders asked Zou Lan to thank Ding Qin with food or drink, Zou Lan was very reluctant and impatient, and seemed to be very disgusted with Ding Qin.

even said that between her and He Yan, they behaved much more naturally than with Ding Qin.

What is the specific reason, Ding Qin didn't ask much. After the meal, Ding Qin entered the room with the two elders for a long talk, just enough to learn about the Lingyin Continent.

After a long conversation that lasted almost all night, Ding Qin finally had some basic understanding of this new area.

Regarding the origin of the Lingyin Continent, there is no way to verify. It seems to have always been there, and it has never changed.

Unlike the Xuanling Continent and the Starlight Continent, there is no empire here, and there is no centralized rule. Here, there are many large and small spiritual sects.

Each spiritual sect controls one side and forms a larger or smaller force. They have absolute dominion over ordinary people within their sphere of influence, and in fact, many times resemble the relationship between the state and the people.

At present, there are four large sects on the mainland, which are called the Sifang Gate, namely the Eastern Qinglong Gate, the Western White Tiger Gate, the Southern Vermilion Bird Gate, and the Northern Xuanwu Gate. And among them, there is no so-called Chen Lizong.

And in the remote areas outside the sect's sphere of influence, there are still some primitive tribes. These tribes are left to fend for themselves, and they are free from the world, but they are also at ease.

The tribe where Ding Qin came is called the Brother Tribe, and each elder is a member of the tribe, and two brothers with the highest cultivation and the highest prestige are selected to serve the public. The current two elders, one is called Yu Yan and the other is called Yu Yi, and Yu Yan is the elder whose spiritual power exceeds the third order.

After learning about this, Ding Qin's topic returned to reality and asked Elder Yuyi, "I found that the people in the tribe actually have spiritual power to cultivate. It's just that your spiritual power is only released when you make certain movements. Moreover, your spiritual power cultivation is more than the third order, and you don't have any spiritual pressure. This is not in line with my previous understanding. ”

"Actually, it's pretty simple. What you see, you think is a spiritual practice, but it's not. ”

"Isn't it?" Ding Qin was puzzled, "However, the light bands and stars are representatives of the level of spiritual cultivation. ”

"That's right. That's really a representation of spirituality. However, it is limited to spirituality. For ordinary people, it's just a way to exert force. ”

Ding Qin couldn't help but be even more confused, "What is the difference between spiritual cultivation and ordinary people? Theoretically speaking, ordinary people can become spiritual cultivators as long as they cultivate, but their cultivation will eventually have high and low. ”

"No, it's not. Ordinary people are ordinary people, and spirituality is spirituality. Ordinary people can only further cultivate into spiritual cultivation if they are selected by the sect and cut off the connection between the human body and spiritual power. Otherwise, the spiritual power is fused with the human body and can never be used at will, although the spiritual power in the body will continue to increase, but it can only be used as a way to assist in exerting force. ”

Yu Yan paused for a moment and thought about it again, "Well, originally, this is the common sense of the Lingyin Continent. You don't know, it may have something to do with the fact that you are not from the Lingyin Continent. Perhaps, your continent is different from our Lingyin Continent. ”

Ding Qin nodded, "It's really different. So, in other words, no matter how high the spiritual power reserves in your body are, you can't use it like a spiritual practice?"

"That's right. And it is precisely because of this that the spiritual power in our body will continue to increase with the forging of the body, and it will increase faster than the spiritual cultivation. In this way, the spiritual power cultivation manifested externally seems to be very high, such as me, which has reached the level of three belts and one star. But in fact, these three belts and one star are of no use except to help increase my strength. ”

Ding Qin heard of such a situation for the first time. Asked the bone soul, the bone soul said that he had a vague impression, but he couldn't remember what was going on. In order to find out, Ding Qin said, "Elder, can you have someone explore your body?"

Yu Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Ding Qin put one hand on the elder's shoulder, and a faint trace of spiritual power slowly entered. And at this time, he finally understood why these people's spiritual power could not be used.

Their dantian capacity, almost nothing!

On the contrary, their muscles have a special structure, and there are some things similar to small sacs, which can store spiritual power. It's just that these small sacs also have a small capacity, and it is basically impossible to gather a large amount of spiritual power in a short period of time.

Therefore, although the total amount of spiritual power of the elder could reach the level of the third order and the first level, because he could not explode and continue to release, he could not use his spiritual power like a spiritual cultivator.

In other words, it's really the reason for race. The people of the Lingyin Continent are different from those on the Xuanling Continent.

After figuring out the physiological structure of the metaphor, Ding Qin was about to withdraw his spiritual power, but accidentally found something else.

In the meridians of metaphor, there seems to be a disease, and it seems to be spreading.

In order to prevent misjudgment, Ding Qin confirmed it again.

Yes, the elder is indeed sick.

Ding Qin frowned. He didn't know what to say to the elders. After retracting his spiritual power, he took a deep breath, looked at Yu Yan, and said, "I have seen your body, and it is exactly as you said. This may be the peculiarity of the people on the Lingyin Continent. And those who can be selected by the sect should be the one with a cultivable physique. ”

Yu Yan nodded, "That's right. Among the sects, one is the sect's own family, which has been passed down from generation to generation and has become the core of the sect. These people can all be cultivated as spiritual cultivation. The other type is the periphery, which is selected by the locals of the Lingyin Continent. However, even on the periphery, the treatment he enjoys, and the treatment that his family enjoys, is extremely high. Therefore, all people are proud to be spiritual. ”

He added, "Including tribes like ours." Qi Pu, for example, has always dreamed of becoming a spiritual cultivator. There is also a one called Curtain Call, who left a few days ago and has not been found yet. Both of them are the best of our younger generation and the most spiritual. ”

"It's just that they don't understand that the physique is a priori determined. If you don't have the qualifications to show spirituality when you are a child, it is impossible to transform it no matter how you do it. Over the years, there has been only one devotional in the tribe. However, since he didn't want to join the sect, he could only figure it out on his own. Later, relying on his spiritual power of spiritual cultivation, he challenged the giant beast in the forest and died. ”

Speaking of which, the parable is also a little gloomy.

Ding Qin was also silent for a while, and said, "Elder, there is actually one more thing I want to tell you. ”

Yu Yan smiled slightly, "No, what you want to say is my illness." ”

Ding Qin was stunned for a moment, "It turns out that the elder knows that his body is suffering from a disease?"

Yu Yan nodded, "Yes, of course I do. Not only me, but more than half of my clan have this disease. This is also a genetic disease of our species. It is precisely for this reason that we need green water lake spirit algae even more. ”

At the mention of the spirit algae of the green water lake, Ding Qin couldn't help but think that when they first arrived, Qi Pu and the others were most afraid that they were here for the spirit algae. He couldn't help but be curious, "What is this spirit algae?"
