Chapter 2: The Three Realms of the Star Dome
The fire scale armor and the three-color and Tilan are two-flavor elixirs, which have a good effect of generating bones and tendons, and together with some herbs that neutralize the medicinal properties and replenish qi and blood, they form the decoction that Su Qian drank.
After three days of recuperation, Su Gan's injuries have basically healed. In these three days, he figured out a lot of things.
At this time, Su Gan had already determined that he had traveled to his own book and settled in Su Gan's body in the novel. As for where the former Su Gan's consciousness and soul went, he didn't know. At this time, he was a teenager, only fourteen years old, and he was the eighth son of the Su family, a big family in Dongshi County.
Su Gan's mother in this world died early, and his father was the strongest person in the family in the Mesozoic generation, with great talent and profound cultivation, and he was currently cultivating in retreat in the forbidden place of the family. Su Gan also has a very cute sister named Su Beibei, who is obedient and sensible, and is very clingy to him.
His physique is the same as that designed in the novel, he was born without spiritual roots, unable to cultivate, and is a mortal. However, Su Gan didn't care about this, and in his novel, Su Gan faded out of the reader's sight after that family rivalry and almost never appeared again.
Although he replaced Su Gan in this world, he also had no grand ambitions and no desire to compete in the world. He is not the main character in the book, nor is he obligated to bring a great story to the reader. In his opinion, it is also extremely good to spend an ordinary life.
"Beibei, help me put this "Mainland Explanation" back on the shelf. Su Gan closed the book in his hand, summoned Su Beibei, who was sitting next to him, and commanded.
"Oh, good brother. The little girl took the thick book from his hand very obediently, and went to the study with small steps. She had a golden Ling hanging around her waist, and when she walked, the ringing of the bell made a pleasant sound.
"It's so cute. Su Gan couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart, it was hard to imagine that this little girl like an elf was actually his sister.
"The Continent Explained" is an encyclopedia describing the humanities of National Geographic, and in the records in it, this continent is millions of miles long, and it is called the Wind Dragon Empire. The Wind Dragon Empire was divided into nine states, each of which was relatively autonomous and ruled by the 'Emperor'.
The place where Su Gan is located is called Nanze, which resembles the right forelimb of a giant dragon in the map, and is located in the southernmost part of the empire. There are many rivers and lakes in Nanzeju, and it is a land of Ze, and the imperial surname that rules here is Shui, and it is called Zehuang.
There are tens of thousands of large and small rivers in Nanze, which run through the entire state, and these rivers flow from north to south, and finally converge on the right front paw of the dragon, forming a magnificent sea.
This sea is more than 3,000 miles long, 1,000 zhang deep, and there are many islands in it, and it is called Kasazawa. In the eastern part of Kasazawa, there is a mountain range with more than 100 mountains, and the highest peak is 1,000 zhang, like a huge stone monument, and it is called 'Higashi Stone'. And Dongshi County, where Su Qian lives, is built on the mountain and surrounded by Dongshi.
This is a world that is different from the earth, and does not develop science and technology, but develops another civilization, the immortal civilization. Rely on the cultivation of heaven and earth aura to strengthen the body and soul, gain great strength and prolong life. The ultimate goal of these people's cultivation is to be 'flying immortals' in order to live forever. All monks who practice the supernatural powers of the Tao are called 'immortal cultivators' by mortals.
In the worldview of Su Qian's novel, this world is extremely vast, not only the continent of the Wind Dragon Empire. Outside the Wind Dragon Empire, there are boundless Terran habitats, vast and endless sea tribe worlds, and savage and wild demon domains. Combined, these worlds are collectively known as the Firmament Realm.
Beyond the Firmament Realm, there is an endless starry sky that hangs above the heads of living beings, where the Celestials and Protoss live, known as the Celestial Realm. At the foot of the Firmament Realm, there is a realm that is far dozens of times larger than the Firmament Realm, where there is Senluo Hell, where there are demons and ghosts living in it, and there is a 'Xudu' that is in charge of the reincarnation of living beings.
The Heavenly Realm, the Earth Realm, and the Firmament Realm make up this vast and boundless world, known as the Three Realms of the Star Dome.
"Xingqiong, I have traveled to my own book......" Su Gan pushed open the window, the sunlight from the outside world penetrated into his room, the cool spring breeze accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, and the sound of insects and birds entered his ears. Su Gan slowly raised his hands, a breeze blew, he was dressed in a robe, the white robe was flying, his hair was fluttering, and his demeanor was dusty.
"Once there was silence, I went to the star dome alone...... It turns out that the crossing really exists. There really is a place in this heaven and earth, and there is the world that I have built in my heart. Su Gan's mood at this time was indescribably complicated, and he had a feeling of revisiting the old place. He used to walk here, but at that time he used words, and now, words have become sound and color.
"Brother, your injuries haven't healed yet, you can't blow a cool breeze!" Su Beibei ran in and wanted to close the window for him.
Su Gan smiled, reached out and touched her head, shook his head and said, "Beibei, you are too cautious, my illness has basically healed, don't be so careful." ”
Su Beibei stopped in place, letting him touch his head, the little girl's eyes flashed, for some reason, she felt that Su Qian seemed to be much different from before.
"Brother, before the retreat, my father told us that you should take the 'medicinal bath' on time, calculate the time, yesterday was the time for you to take the medicinal bath, but yesterday you were injured and missed the medicinal bath. ”
"Change the medicated bath to tonight, anyway, my body is ......" Su Qian shook his head, and a wry smile hung on the corner of his mouth. Just like what he said in his novel, Su Gan in this world is a mortal, born without spiritual roots, and cannot cultivate.
Su Gan's father, Su Yuanshan, was very powerful in the Su family, and he had high expectations for him, although he couldn't cultivate, Su Yuanshan never gave up on him, and even treated him quite harshly in terms of cultivation.
On the way of cultivation, the body is first refined, and then the soul is refined, and finally the body and soul are one, and the Tao is complete. The first step in cultivating the physical body is to first penetrate the aura throughout the body, and this realm is called the martial arts realm, and there are nine realms in total.
The Nine Realms of Martial Artists: Feeling the Spirit, Seeking the Root, Inner Strength, Spiritual Flesh, Spiritual Bone, Bursting Blood, Washing the Marrow, Refining Organs, and Ventilating.
The so-called feeling of the spirit is to first feel the aura of the world, which is everywhere, generated by all things in the world, and used for all things in the world. It doesn't take much effort, no more deliberateness, it depends on understanding. I don't have enough understanding, and I still can't feel my soul after sitting for several years. Enough understanding, sometimes a casual move will unexpectedly do the soul.
Therefore, the elders of the family usually explain the spirit first, and tell the juniors some tips for the spirit of the spirit, and the children will use these tips to be moved by running and playing.
Su Gan is five years old, not outstanding, but not mediocre.
The next realm of feeling the spirit is to seek the roots, and the root-seeking realm is a big threshold, the threshold that distinguishes mortals from martial artists.
The so-called spiritual root is an aura that naturally exists in the human body. People who possess this aura are naturally destined to be extraordinary, and they can rely on this aura to absorb the aura of the outside world for cultivation.
There are many people who are born without spiritual roots, so they cannot absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world and cannot cultivate. This is predestined, innate, and cannot be changed.
According to the official statistics of the empire, one out of every three thousand people has a spiritual root, which is the so-called 'three thousand living beings, one immortal fate'. The spiritual root is divided into heaven, earth and people, upper, middle and lower nine. It is rumored that some large families or large cities have treasures that test the grade of the spiritual root, which can test the grade of the monk's spiritual root. However, this kind of treasure is not owned by Dongshi County.
Once you find the spiritual root, you can start cultivating, and you will officially step into the great torrent of cultivating immortals and seeking immortality. The road of cultivating immortals, step by step, step by step, is difficult. Without the best spiritual roots, high-quality inheritance, and ample elixir support, it is difficult to achieve great things.
The first step of cultivating immortals, 'inner strength', is also the third realm of a martial artist, which is to guide the spiritual energy into the body through the spiritual root, and simply refine the physical body. This process is very arduous, and it is necessary to practice diligently, not to slack off, and to do it year after year.
The two realms of Feeling Spirit and Root-Seeking do not increase their strength, and in terms of physical fitness, the warriors of the Root-Seeking Realm are still ordinary people.
But once they enter the Inner Zhuang Realm, the mental outlook and physical fitness of the martial artist will be very different from that of ordinary people. Among ordinary people, a relatively outstanding man in the prime of life can lift a boulder of 300 catties. But in the Inner Zhuang Realm, any junior can easily do this.
Moreover, when a martial artist enters the inner strong realm, his spirit and spirit will be more abundant, and there seems to be an inexhaustible strength in his body, which can support high-intensity training, far beyond ordinary people.
Only when a martial artist enters the Inner Zhuang Realm can he truly step into the path of cultivation. At this time, the warriors no longer eat ordinary grains and meat, and ordinary food is difficult to satisfy their appetite, only the spirit valley grown in the spiritual field and the meat rich in spiritual energy in the body can make them full and meet their daily needs.
When the martial artist of the Inner Zhuang Realm feels that the aura begins to gather towards the skin and flesh, and begins to refine the skin and flesh to a large extent, it means that the martial artist has entered the next realm - the spiritual flesh realm.
In the Su family, martial artists in the Spirit Flesh Realm can receive a small bottle of Qingyuan Pill every month, Qingyuan Dan is refined with the elixir Qingyuan Fruit, which is rich in spiritual energy and can be used by martial artists to cultivate. In addition to the elixir, there is another thing that has an extraordinary effect on the martial artists of the Spirit Flesh Realm, and that is the medicinal bath.
The medicinal bath can be said to be something that every junior in the Spirit and Flesh Realm dreams of, but the resources to be consumed by the medicinal bath are really huge, and not everyone is qualified to enjoy it. Only some juniors who perform well and can be called the elite of the family will be valued by the elders of the family, and will pour more resources into them, and it is possible to spend a lot of money to prepare medicinal baths for them.
But not all people who can enjoy medicinal baths are geniuses, there is a special case in the Su family, he is not very talented, and he can't even cultivate, but he can often soak in medicinal baths, and that is Su Gan.
This is also where Su Gan makes people jealous and even hateful.
The Su family is a family of cultivators, inherited from the line of the old family owner Su Hongchuan, and the female dependents married by the men of the family are basically cultivators, so almost all the direct children of the Su family are immortal cultivators who can cultivate.
Su Gan was an exception, his mother was a mortal. In the chronicles of the Su family, his mother's name is Su Yuxin, who is the adopted daughter of his fourth master, Su Yunshuo. Before his father Su Yuanshan and Su Yuxin got married, Su Yuxin was seriously ill and died shortly after giving birth to him.
Su Beibei and he are not the same mother, according to rumors in the clan, Su Beibei is the illegitimate daughter of Su Yuanshan who brought home after an outing, Su Gan does not know who Beibei's mother is, and there is no relevant record in the clan chronicles. In addition, because of the problem of the main story line, Su Gan did not give Su Beibei a detailed introduction in the novel "The Three Realms of the Star Dome".
Su Gan is Su Yuanshan's only son, and he values him very much. Because Su Gan couldn't cultivate, Su Yuanshan once took him to visit famous doctors in the world, look for ancient books, visit masters, and finally get the method of medicine refining from a senior.
The so-called medicine refining body is to soak in elixir to forcibly inject medicinal power into his body, and then through diligent cultivation, these medicinal powers are transformed into spiritual energy and tempered flesh.
This method is a partial method, not as powerful as a martial artist through spiritual root cultivation, and the resources it consumes are extremely huge. Even after the explosion of blood, the elixir used in the medicinal bath was already terrifying, and even the Su family would have a great time taking it out.
Su Gan is now using a medicinal bath from the Spirit Flesh Realm, and every medicine is worth a lot of money, and even one main medicine is rare. Over the years, in order to help him break through the Inner Strength and Spirit Flesh Realm, Su Yuanshan didn't know how many resources he had consumed, which made some elders of the Su family complain, and even caused Su Gan to be rejected by many juniors.
