Chapter 2: Testing the Root Bone
Time is a joyful white horse, leaping by.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye. This is the first year I've been in this world one day. Over the course of the year, I've learned a little bit about the world from the mouths of the grown-ups.
This world is not much in conflict with the Earth where I originally lived. It's just that there are cultivators in this world. It's just like the immortal cultivators in the novels we read.
There are cultivators here, called Yuan Qi Practitioners, and Yuan Qi people strengthen themselves by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the air. Energetics can use Heaven and Earth Vitality to cast powerful spells, formations, spells, etc. Of course, it doesn't mean that all people in this world are cultivators. To become a practitioner, you need very harsh conditions, first of all, you need a strong physique. Every practitioner has undergone brutal training before cultivating, just like in the novels we read, before resting, one must first train one's body to be vajra not bad. Before the cultivation level, there is a refining stage.
They are divided into: skin refining, meat refining, bone refining, tendon refining, and acupuncture refining. Only by cultivating these five ranks can you achieve the incorruptible body of Vajra!
According to the adults, if these five units are repaired, they will be able to resist the thermal weapons below the missile.
After cultivating these five levels, you can begin to guide the aura of heaven and earth into your body. And thus began to practice. If we compare the human body to a bucket. And the vitality of heaven and earth is compared to water. Complete the previous five levels. This is to help us expand the previous bucket so that it can hold more Heaven and Earth Vitality.
The division of the cultivation of the Yuan Qi is also the same as in the novels I have read before! Practicing Qi, Building the Foundation, Jindan, Yuan Infant, Transforming the Spirit, Practicing Void, Joining the Dao, Crossing the Tribulation, and Mahayana. For each realm, there are nine smaller realms. However, every time you cross a small realm, it is very difficult. The further you go, the harder it gets. I even heard those adults say that the highest realm in this world now is only the Transformation God Realm.
However, what I don't understand is what. Why are all my relatives incarnatable? why?
In this world, there is another profession for practitioners. They are called. Alchemist. Alchemist. Array Mage. Charmer.
Alchemist. You can use the treasures of heaven and earth to refine mysterious elixirs. A high-level alchemist can achieve a Dan of life and death, flesh and bones.
Alchemist. Also use the natural treasures to refine powerful weapons!
Array Mage. With the help of topography, spiritual treasures, weapons. You can lay out a wonderful formation.
Charmer. With the help of some spiritual treasures, you can make a powerful spell. It often plays a key role in the battle situation.
However, here are auxiliary professions. All from one star to nine stars. One star is the lowest, and nine stars are the highest. It is very difficult to reach the Nine-Star Consummation Realm. Listening to those adults, no one has ever reached the Nine-Star Perfection Realm so far!
However, these practitioners are not visible to the public. Listening to those adults, it seems that the state has restricted these practitioners. Otherwise, if a practitioner does evil, it will cause great turmoil. It seems that the state has also set up some kind of institution. Dedicated to the management of these practitioners.
These are the hierarchical divisions of cultivators in this world.
Today is my first birthday. A grand banquet was held in the village. As if it was specifically for celebration.
There were a lot of people in the house that day. But these people were very respectful of my father. Among them, I also saw a man who claimed to be a representative of the state. I wondered at the time. Is my father so awesome?
Later I knew. The village where I live is called: Maple Leaf Village.
Maple Leaf Village is the place with the most strong people in this world. Because almost every adult in our village has the strength to transform into the peak of the God Realm! And some children who are seven or eight years old also have the strength to build a foundation. Listening to those adults, there are very few people outside who have the strength to build a foundation now. This shows that my village is very good. And it seems that my dad is still a village chief.
Through this, I judged that I was much better than the second generation of rich officials.
After the banquet. What I don't understand is why none of the adults left, all of them gathered around me.
My mother was holding me while my father and grandfather were standing next to me.
At this time, Grandpa spoke. "Let's get started!"
I saw my dad hum. Then he slowly grabbed both of my shoulders with his hands, and then I felt a surge of energy seeping into my body from both of my shoulders. Slowly wandering among the bones of my limbs.
A minute passed. My father's eyes slowly widened. I think it's incredible. I only heard him mutter, "This, this, this can't be." ”
And my grandfather, seeing this. He quickly pushed his father aside, and he did the same as his father. Hands on my shoulders. It was the same energy that penetrated into my limbs.
Another minute passed. My grandfather seemed to have suddenly aged ten years. Slowly withdrew his hand. Hooked his back, he walked back to the house.
And the people around me saw the condition of my dad and my grandfather. Began to talk about it.
"This, it can't be, there are no bones, right?"
"It seems that I didn't expect the children of the village chief's family to have no cultivation roots. ”
"It's a shame, isn't it? ”
"I didn't expect the children of the village chief's family to be so pitiful. ”
"Alas, what a wreck!"
There was a lot of talk around the people. And what they said was heard by me. I was still puzzled. Later I understood. Not everyone can cultivate. The premise of cultivation is to have root bones. The root bone is divided into four levels: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang. And now, at least 80% of a hundred people have bones. Although it is generally a yellow-grade root bone. But you can also cultivate. And I can tell from their language that I don't seem to have roots.
Not having a root bone means that you can't cultivate. This is a very terrifying thing for all of us in our village, who are full of cultivators. It must be because of such a thing that my father and grandfather can't accept it. In the end, it seemed that my mother went to comfort her. I heard my mother say.
"If you can't cultivate, you can't cultivate, just let Tian'er live an ordinary life. ”
Eventually, both my grandfather and my dad came out of the gloom. But they seem to be more fond of me. I guess it's because I'm feeling a little guilty.
In this era, people who can't cultivate have no status. If you can't cultivate, it means that you may be bullied. This society is cruel.
However, I didn't seem to feel it. The whole village knew from those people at the banquet that I couldn't cultivate. However, it did not become indifferent to me. On the contrary, they cared for me more. I really don't know what's going on? Isn't this the same as the plot in the novel?
So I was treated as an ordinary person and lived in disputes. Since I couldn't do a lot of housework, my parents wouldn't let me do it. I'm afraid I'll be thrown or bumped. Because in their impression, ordinary people were very weak, and they did not possess a strong physique like cultivators. So I basically didn't do housework since I was a child.
And about that bone, I also know from the mouths of those adults. It turns out that the period from birth to one year old is when every child grows bones. When the child reaches the age of one, there will be elders who will use their strength to measure the child's bones. The method of this test is that the energy passes through the child's body and passes through the child's limbs! If the child has a bone, it will absorb this energy, and the higher the level of the bone, the more it will absorb. Then judging from this amount of absorption, what is the level of the child's root bone. However, it must have been the last time my dad and grandpa, when I was with me, their energy didn't seem to be absorbed. So I learned that I had no bones.
Over the years, my father seems to have never given up, and he has also taught me some cultivation techniques. But after I practiced. I couldn't feel the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi he was talking about at all. After a few times, my dad gave up.
And I lived in the time of the village. I've also heard a few things about the village.
