The furnishings in the room are very simple, there are no tables and chairs, two futons are placed at random, a ceramic incense burner is placed in the center, and the lilac smoke rises in the middle, and the room is filled with elegant fragrance. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)
The only decoration in the room is a jade carved crane, with its neck bent to the sky, fluttering its wings and looking vivid.
Tuzhen pointed to the futon and motioned for Yin Jian to sit down. Immediately shook the sleeves of his robe, a porcelain bowl appeared out of thin air in his hand, walked up to the crane and patted its head, and the crane's beak immediately spewed out a thin stream of water into the porcelain bowl.
Tuzhen waved his hand, and the porcelain bowl hung in the air and floated in front of Yin Jian.
Yin Jian is now not surprised by the supernatural powers of Tuzhen, he is just thirsty, he took the tea bowl and drank it all, and suddenly felt a cool feeling flow from his throat to his abdomen, and the pores of his body opened comfortably, thinking that this bowl of water might be an elixir such as the legendary "empty bluestone milk".
Tuzhen sat on the futon opposite and smiled slightly: "Disciple, how much do you know about the way of cultivating the truth?" ”
Yin Jian scratched his head, very embarrassed. "Cultivating the truth, isn't it just cultivating to become an immortal? Living in the deep mountains and meditating all day long, scattering beans into soldiers, spitting flying swords, soaring clouds and fog or something......"
In the interstellar age, Xiuzhen was classified as a myth and legend, symbolizing a dead culture, and it would be nice for Yin Jian to be able to say this.
Tuzhen shook his head and smiled: "The purpose of cultivating the truth is to 'attain the Dao', and the embodiment of attaining the Dao is immortality. ”
Imperishable? If someone had said this to Yin Jian yesterday, he would definitely think it was ridiculous! Even the universe has a lifespan, atoms will perish, how can flesh and blood be immortal? However, after coming to Wuxing Village, he had already seen too many magical things, all of which could not be explained by science, so he didn't think that the words of Tuzhen were foolish dreams.
Tuzhen people looked at his expression attentively, and secretly praised the son for being teachable. "The path of cultivating the truth can be divided into four stages, refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to emptiness, and refining void and merging the way."
Yin Jian's face was full of bitterness: "Teacher, this, this...... I don't seem to understand. ”
He didn't even know what essence, qi, and god meant, so naturally he couldn't understand the realm of cultivation.
Tuzhen people saw him at a loss, obviously they didn't have any common sense of cultivation, and it would be too time-consuming to start from the beginning. After thinking about it, he had a compromise solution, and said with a smile: "Disciple, can the world you live in have a system of dividing forces?" ”
This was difficult for Yin Jian, and he hurriedly replied: "Of course there is zài!" In our world, as soon as everyone is born, there is a 'spiritual power seed' in the sea of qi that is smaller than an atom, referred to as 'spiritual son', and practicing various exercises can promote it to gradually grow and split into more spiritual sons, and the stronger the spiritual power, and when it reaches a certain level, it is called a 'spiritual warrior'. ”
Tuzhen nodded frequently and said with a smile: "Say it slowly, don't rush." With a wave of dust, the crane spewed out spring water and filled the teacup in front of Yin Jian.
Yin Jian took a sip and continued to introduce: "According to the generally accepted rules, the strength of a warrior is divided into seven stars from low to high, and each star is divided into ten stages, at least reaching the standard of one star and one stage, that is, only a thousand spirit sons can be stored in the sea of qi to obtain the title of 'spiritual warrior'. ”
In this era, everyone is cultivating spiritual power, but due to the limitations of talent and exercises, it is very good to be able to find a spiritual warrior among ten people.
Yin Jian is now the strength of one star and three stages, with three thousand six hundred matt spiritual power, which can be regarded as one in a hundred in terms of the average level of human beings, but as a military cadet, it seems relatively mediocre.
Matt is a psionic unit, named after Dr. Sylvis Matt, the creator of the Psionic Principle. One mat corresponds to a spirit child, which is equivalent to the energy consumed to move a ton of objects by one meter in a standard gravity environment. But don't think that with a thousand mattrin energy you can pile up a thousand tons of objects by a meter, that's impossible!
It's like asking an ordinary person to carry sandbags, from morning to night, carrying hundreds of sandbags will exhaust all the body, but it is impossible for him to resist all these hundreds of sandbags on his shoulders at once.
It's one thing for a psionic warrior to have how much psionic energy they have, but it's another thing how much psionic energy they can wield in a single attack.
Improving strength is not only to increase the upper limit of spiritual power, but also to try to learn more clever martial arts, and the advantages and disadvantages of martial arts are mainly reflected in the amount of spiritual energy released in an attack, just like the composition of bombs and firecrackers are gunpowder, but the destructive power is not the same.
Tu Zhenren muttered: "Wait a while, make a system update for the division, and unify the power systems of the two planes......"
Yin Jian sweated: "This is really a game!?" ”
Tuzhen said indifferently: "False is true and true is also false, if it is better for you to understand Xiuzhen as a game, then it is not impossible." Ok, I've got this little case done, so let's get back to business. ”
Yin Jian continued to wipe his sweat: "Why has the tone of his speech changed!" ”
Tuzhen smiled: "By the way, the grammar system has been updated, so that the communication will be smoother." ”
"Teacher, you are so considerate!" Before, Tuzhen people were full of words, and he really didn't understand it.
Tu Zhen said: "According to my conversion, refining and refining qi is equivalent to what you call a three-star warrior, which is the entry stage of cultivation. ”
Yin Jian was shocked!
Three-star warriors are already first-class powerhouses in the civilized world, taking the graduates of Xinghai Military Academy as an example, anyone who reaches a two-star level can get a "Xinghai Medal", and as soon as they enlist in the army, they will have the rank of second lieutenant!
As for the three-star powerhouse, I am afraid that none of the 8,000 students of Xinghai Academy can be found, let alone students, there are not many instructors who have reached the three-star level, and in the field of cultivation, the three-star has just started, and the gap is too big......
Yin Jian couldn't help but get excited!
In Xinghai Academy, all kinds of resources will focus on taking care of the Department of Aircraft Warfare and the Department of Command, as a student of the Department of Mechanics, the resources he can obtain in the school are very limited, and it is difficult to reach the sky if he wants to be promoted to a three-star level before graduation.
Now that the Dao of Cultivation has helped him open another door, if he can learn the fairy-like skills of the Tuzhen people, wouldn't he be able to raise his eyebrows and surprise those guys who underestimate him when he returns to school!
Thinking of learning in the future, a wave of his hand is a thunderbolt and lightning, and a stomp is a cloud and fog, which frightened the teacher and stunned, and the girls cast admiring glances, and the female devil of Long Wu was trampled under his feet and ravaged at will, Yin Jian's classmates couldn't help but boil with blood.
Tuzhen saw that he was so beautiful that his saliva was dripping out, and he had to cool him down. "The cultivators in the world are like the sand of the Ganges River, but there are very few who have truly attained the Tao, this road is full of difficulties and obstacles, and it takes great perseverance to persevere, do you have confidence?"
Yin Jian smiled and nodded solemnly.
Since he was forced to leave the Department of Aircraft Warfare a year ago, the Yangguan Road that was open to others closed the door to him, and if he wanted to get ahead, he had to find another way, and finally seized this opportunity, even if it was a dangerous single-plank bridge, he had to go on without hesitation, and would rather die than look back!
Tuzhen people were quite relieved to see his resolute eyes. God is fair, more than 2,000 years of hard work have not been in vain, and finally he has waited for a teachable talent, and what he has learned has finally been passed on.
"At the beginning of chaos, it was for Wuji, Wuji gave birth to Taiji, and Taiji gave birth to Liangyi; Yin and yang, the evolution of the five elements, and then the evolution of all things...... "Tuzhen people waved the dust, and the five big characters of wood, fire, earth, gold and water appeared on the ground.
"The five elements are the five basic elements that make up the universe, all living beings can be decomposed into the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold, and water, and the cultivation method I teach you is to start from the five elements, once you master the five elements, you can understand the essence of all things, the mystery of the universe."
Yin Jian did not try to refute the theory of the five elements with modern atomic theory, and his tolerant attitude was due to his father's teachings. As a researcher at the Blue Star Academy of Military Sciences, Yin's father did not reject those theories that were criticized by the scientific community as heresy and feudal superstition, and warned Yin Jian since he was a child, "Science is only one of the ways to know the truth, not the only way."
"The foundation of the Dao technique is the formation, and the foundation of the formation is the Five Elements True Technique, and I will teach it to you now."
"Good! Well, do you have any paper and pen here, I want to take notes! Yin Jian used the "pocket light brain" to take notes in class, and Wuxing Village obviously didn't have that kind of high-tech gadgets, so he had to retreat to find a notebook.
Tuzhen shook his head and smiled: "Don't be so troublesome, what I taught you, you can't forget it even if you want to." As he spoke, he waved the dust and swept the Baihui acupoint above Yin Jian's head.
Yin Jian felt numb all over his body, and sat there dumbfounded, not daring to move. A stream of five-colored mist gushed out from the top of his head, divided into white, green, black, red, and yellow wisps, which were the phantoms of the five elements in his body.
Tu Zhenren glanced at his head, and now the red smoke was slightly thicker than the other four, so he took out a red talisman from his sleeve, threw it at Yin Jian's head, and shouted: "Go!" ”
The red talisman floated to the top of Yin Jian's head, and was immediately surrounded by the red haze, which flashed and disappeared, leaving only many golden tadpole words, rolling and dancing in the haze.
Yin Jian felt a hot current surging above his head, and a mysterious mantra appeared in his mind, no need to read it, no need to read it, and naturally memorize it in his heart. As soon as his thoughts turned, Yin Jian immediately knew that this text was called "Binghuo Jue", which was the foundation of the Yiqiē Fire System Dao Technique.
Tuzhen humanitarian: "The Five Elements Dao Recipe is divided into Gengjin Jue, Yimu Jue, Wutu Jue, Decishui Jue, and the Binghuo Jue that you just learned. ”
Yin Jian opened his eyes and said movingly: "The rest of the Tao tricks, I specialize in it myself, it doesn't matter if you slow down, the teacher doesn't use the empowerment anymore." ”
Tuzhen Zhenren smiled: "It's rare that you have this filial piety, and you are very pleased to be a teacher, but cultivating the truth is by no means so easy, if you don't need empowerment**, this Binghuo recipe alone may not be able to learn it in three or five years." ”
Yin Jian said with a bitter face: "It's all my fault for being too stupid......"
Tu Zhenren shook his head and said: "Your qualifications are already very good, it will take a long time to cultivate the truth, ten years and eight years is just a flick of the fingers, in order to comprehend a Dao technique, it is common to retreat for a hundred years." ”
"Even if you have that patience, don't forget that there are Huo Zhenren, Jin Zhenren, Shui Xiangu and Mu Xian Gu all waiting for you to go to class, if you have to learn a fire trick for a few years, it's strange if they don't go crazy in a hurry!"
Yin Jian couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect the gentle and elegant Tuzhen people to joke. He has been in Xinghai Academy for two years, and he has never had a teacher as amiable and respectable as Tuzhen, a cultivator, and his mind and bearing are indeed very human.
Tuzhen said: "Today's homework is to review the Binghuo Technique, and tomorrow I will do the empowerment** to help you inject another Method, you don't think that there is a shortcut to cultivating the truth, except for the Five Elements Method, I will not instill other Dao methods for you, how much you can learn depends on your wisdom and perseverance." ”
Yin Jian nodded again and again, but he was worried in his heart.
It often takes more than ten years to learn a Taoist technique, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish my studies when I am old, when will I be able to return to the real world......
Tuzhen people saw through his worries and comforted: "At this moment, you are just the outer incarnation of the Yuan Shen, although the physiological functions of a qiē are no different from the physical body, but the real physical body is still in the outside world, the two are located in different planes, the time is not equal, you are practicing in the Five Elements Village, a month is equal to one day in the outside world, as long as the physical body is not bad, you can stay here for as long as you want, so don't worry about lack of time." ”
Yin Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, according to this algorithm, his cultivation time was thirty times more than others!
In order to survive the long interstellar travel, modern medicine has developed a "hibernation agent", which can enter a state of hibernation with an injection, and it is no problem to lie in the nutrition cabin and sleep for three or five years.
For example, Yin Jian came to the Sigma Galaxy from Blue Star this time, and slept in the exploration ship for more than a month, which is equivalent to three years in the Five Elements Village! When others were forced to hibernate and waste their lives, he hid in the Five Elements Village and practiced secretly...... Just thinking about it makes me feel refreshed!
Seeing him drooling there, Tuzhen secretly laughed, this apprentice is good at everything, but not at all - he always loves to wander! In the future, when I meet a hot-tempered Huo Zhenren and a strict and demanding Jin Zhenren, I am afraid that I will have to suffer.
When Yin Jian came back to his senses, he saw that Tuzhen had already closed his eyes and meditated.
Yin Jian didn't dare to disturb the teacher, let alone leave Gou Chenju without permission, so he tiptoed to the crane and took a glass of water to drink. Putting down the cup, he sat down on the futon, closed his eyes and went into meditation.
I first recited the Binghuo Jue again, and felt that there was no problem, so I habitually operated the "Xinghai Jue", urging the Lingzi in the sea of qi to operate in the meridians around the body.
In the interstellar age, people had to learn psionic exercises from an early age.
After two centuries of exhibition, psionic exercises have emerged one after another, and there are tens of thousands of them that can be traced in name alone. Each of these exercises has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the exercises possessed by the major aristocratic academies and wealthy families are often more efficient, so they can cultivate more outstanding talents.
Xinghai Academy is a public military academy, and its faculty is incomparable to those aristocratic colleges, but after all, it is the first school in human history to specialize in spiritual energy courses, and the "Xinghai Jue" that has been passed down for two centuries is still considered a quasi-first-class exercise.
Yin Jian urged the Xinghai Jue, a whirlpool appeared in the sea of qi, and he inhaled a spirit son to detonate it, transforming it into spiritual energy and pouring into the meridians around his body, like a rising tide, reaching the end of the meridians. The psionic energy returned the same way, merging into the whirlpool of the sea of qi, and recondensed into a spirit son.
In this way, a cycle of practice is completed, commonly known as a "tidal wave".
Repeat the above process until all the spiritual children in the sea of qi have completed the "tide", that is, "the day of the exercise".
After a week of practice, the muscles and bones and skin become stronger and stronger after being washed by the spiritual power, and the spiritual son becomes stronger after being scattered and refined, and when it grows strong to a certain extent, it will split into a new spiritual son, and the total amount of spiritual energy will also increase by one horse.
Yin Jian had a total of 3,600 mats of spiritual energy, and one mat corresponded to a "tide", and it took sixty minutes to perform the gong for a week.
With the improvement of spiritual energy, the cycle of practicing exercises is getting longer and longer, and there will even be an embarrassing situation where you can't perform exercises for a whole day!
That means that the cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to go further unless you replace the more efficient exercises.
Yin Jian finished meditating and opened his eyes to see that the Tuzhen people were still meditating, and two thick arms of smoke erupted from his nose, like a yellow dragon, and the momentum was amazing.
Yin Jian thought to himself, according to the teacher, mana and spiritual power are essentially the same thing, so my Binghuo Jue should also be able to be used to exercise spiritual power, I don't know how the efficiency compares to Xinghai Jue.
He did what he thought of, closed his eyes and went into meditation again. This time, he was running the Propylene Fire Technique in the sea of qi, trying to absorb the spirit son.
As soon as the fire technique moved, two silky red lights erupted from Yin Jian's nose, expanding and twisting as the exercise worked.
Tu Zhenren knew Yin Jian's actions inside out without opening his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, quite satisfied with his attitude of focusing on cultivation.
After the fire technique moved, a ball of fire rose in the sea of qi, and more than 800 spirit seeds were inhaled in one breath and all of them were detonated, turning into a blazing torrent of spiritual energy and pouring into the meridians around the body!
Yin Jian had never detonated so many spirit sons at the same time, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
At this time, there was a reminder from the Tuzhen people: "Don't worry too much about it, it's okay to continue to do it." ”
Yin Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and with peace of mind, he used the C-fire Technique to urge the "Lava Flow" to advance in the meridians, completing an incomparably grand tide!
After the practice was over, he was pleasantly surprised that there were ten more spirit seeds in the sea of qi, and it only took a second.
In other words, in the future, the efficiency of exercising spiritual power with the Binghuo Technique will be more than 800 times higher than with the Xinghai Technique, and the secret techniques of those wealthy families and aristocratic academies will not be even more rebellious than this!
