"The other type is people who can cultivate, that is, monks in the immortal cultivation realm," Yuan Miaozi and Shi An digested what they had just said, and continued after a while, "Monks also have birth, old age, sickness and death, but this process is not a cyclic process of vitality, but a cyclic process called reiki. Reiki, also known as spiritual power, is the main indicator of a monk's level. Every move of the monk consumes aura, so it is necessary to constantly replenish aura, just as mortals need to replenish their vitality with food every day, mortals will starve to death if they do not eat for a long time, and monks will consume themselves until they die if they do not replenish aura. The amount of aura stored, the speed and amount of absorption and release, will vary greatly depending on the level of cultivation, and it is called a realm or cultivation. The improvement of cultivation depends on the accumulation of aura. The passage through which the aura enters and exits the body is the spiritual root, or root bone, which has branches throughout the body, and is divided into five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each monk's qualifications are different, and the number of spiritual roots they contain, their shape, and thickness are also quite different. The thicker the spiritual root, the easier it is for the spiritual energy to enter and exit, and the easier it is to improve cultivation. ”

"Reiki is different from Yuan Qi, and like Spiritual Root, it is also divided into five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is very particular about the entry and exit of spiritual energy in and out of the monk's body, and the same kind of spiritual root only enters and exits the same kind of spiritual energy, so the more types of spiritual roots there are, the more kinds of spiritual energy in and out, and the easier it is to cultivate and improve. Speaking of this truth, it is also completely thanks to the exploration of a peerless giant repair in ancient times," Speaking of this, Yuan Miaozi showed a look of reverence, "According to rumors, this giant cultivator's surname is Han, and he is a monk, and now I don't know how high his cultivation was back then." I only knew that at that time, the immortal cultivation world generally believed that the fewer spiritual roots, the better. Now that I think about it, it may be because of the single aura in various places in ancient times, so no matter how many types of spiritual roots there are, they can only absorb one kind of aura at a time and in one place. And the fewer types of spiritual roots, the thicker they are, and the faster they absorb a kind of spiritual energy, which may also be a balance of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the strength of the single spirit root is better than the number of multiple spirit roots, and the faster the cultivation will be. In fact, there are more and more spiritual energy required for the improvement of cultivation, and a single monk with a strong spiritual root is definitely not comparable to a monk with a weak spiritual root, but there are many types. ”

"According to legend, Grandmaster Han entered the immortal cultivation realm with the four spirit roots to cultivate penance, and in order to ascend to the upper realm, he didn't know what secret method he used to transform into a five-spirit root cultivator, and finally became an immortal cultivator. He informed the entire immortal cultivation world of this theory, causing a huge sensation, at first no one believed it, but about 13,000 years ago, after a sudden upheaval in heaven and earth, all the spiritual energy in the world was mixed together, and a monk surnamed Qi and the word Ling reiterated this theory, and also passed down a set of methods that allowed the multi-spiritual root monk to absorb multiple spiritual qi at the same time, and since then, after continuous practice, it has been proved that what Grandmaster Han and Grandmaster Qi said is completely correct. ”

"Han Li, Qi Ling" Shi An firmly remembered the names of these two people, "They are indeed very remarkable, they can overturn the cultivation theory at that time and form a system of their own, they are really immortal geniuses." ”

"Since then, there has been a reversal of joy and sorrow among the monks in the immortal cultivation world, the so-called 'Heavenly Spirit Root' in ancient times refers to the single spirit root, which now seems to be just a joke, and the so-called 'Miscellaneous Spirit Root' of the multi-spirit root monks who were abandoned at that time have become fragrant and sweet, and the various sects do not hesitate to fight for talents. Do you know, the current Heavenly Spirit Root refers to the Five Spirit Root. Alas, it's far away, and then talk about this spirit stone," Yuan Miaozi hurriedly brought the topic back, "The immortal cultivation world is divided into the secular world where mortals live and the immortal cultivation world where monks live and cultivate according to the amount of spiritual energy, and there is no direct geographical boundary between the two worlds. The secular realm is nothing more than a division of the enchantment and the mustard seed space technique, and you don't need to figure these out if you don't cultivate. To put it simply, this place is the secular realm of mortals, but a certain point in the meantime is the entrance to the immortal cultivation realm. ”

Shi An listened a little ignorantly, but it was not good to interrupt Yuan Miaozi's explanation, so he continued to listen.

"For example, there are ninety-four counties under Jinzhou, with a radius of only two thousand five hundred li, but there are several entrances to the immortal cultivation realm, and the area of the immortal cultivation realm corresponding to these entrances is incalculable. Forget it, don't talk about it, you won't understand it. Let's go on to talk about this secular world, the secular world lacks aura, and there is no spiritual stone or spiritual vein that can store aura, so when we monks come to the secular world, we must bring spiritual stones in order to replenish the consumption of spiritual energy at any time, and spiritual stones are divided into grades and attributes, and the common sense of these immortal cultivation worlds is too complicated, it doesn't matter if you don't cultivate immortals or not. Now you probably understand the purpose of spirit stones. ”

Speaking of this, without waiting for Shi An to pick up, Yuan Miaozi's eyes lit up suddenly, and said, "Shi An, your family's medicine field is a spiritual vein." ”

Shi An said: "Yuan Miao Dao Chief, are you planning to go there to replenish your aura?"

"No, no, that spiritual vein is so small to me, it's not enough for my ten-day cultivation. It was I who suddenly thought that an inconspicuous medicinal field could be favored by the surnamed Sun, and he took great pains to obtain it, presumably he also saw that it was a spiritual vein, then he should also be a monk!" Speaking of this, Yuan Miaozi paused, "If he can look at such a small spiritual vein, then his cultivation must be extremely low." ”

"I understand, if he is really a monk, then my martial arts practice will have no effect, after all, mortals can't compete with monks, so I have to cultivate, so I have the opportunity to take his life to avenge the teacher. Shi An understood the current situation through a little bit.

"Alas, if he is a monk, it is really useless for you to learn martial arts, and you can only cultivate. Yuan Miaozi sighed and said.

"Then how do you know if he is a monk or not?" Shi An couldn't help but be a little anxious, after all, this result directly affected his follow-up plans.

"I'll be sure when I replenish my aura and get to his gang as soon as possible. Yuan Miaozi said.

"Then if he is a monk, would your old man be willing to take me as an apprentice?" Shi An asked as he looked at Yuan Miaozi.

"It's not too late to discuss this matter after Sun Lang's identity is confirmed, Shi An, you go and rest, I should meditate too." After Yuan Miaozi finished speaking, he casually threw Shi An a grain of Bigu Dan, and then quickly settled down with the spirit stone in his hand.

After taking Bigu Dan, Shi An still lay on the ground with his head resting on the half of the broken futon, but this time he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. For a while, I thought about all the love that my master and mother had for me before her death, for a while I thought about Jin Huan and Sun Lang's poisonous plan to kill my master's whole family, and for a while I thought about how to kill the murderer, and I fell asleep in a daze.

The next day was the first day of the first lunar month, and when Shi An woke up, it was already noon, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yuan Miaozi staring at him with a smile, and hurriedly asked, "Daoist Yuan Miao, when will we set off to explore Sun Lang?"

Yuan Miaozi said, "I've already been to the Wolf Head Gang while you're sleeping. Now there's good news and bad news, which one are you going to hear first?"

Shi An was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood that Yuan Miaozi must be afraid that he would help him if he didn't take him, so he said curtly: "Oh, you've already been there?" Alas, it's been bad news recently, so tell me the good news first!"

"The good news is that Sun Lang is just a new monk who just opened his soul yesterday. Yuan Miaozi said.

It seems that Sun Lang is really a monk, Shi Anxin said, then it seems that I have to cultivate, and hurriedly asked: "Kailing? What is Kailing?"

"Yesterday, I told you that monks should absorb and release spiritual energy through spiritual roots, but I didn't tell you that there is an important step in order to let spiritual energy enter and exit spiritual roots, which is to open the spiritual energy. Enlightenment is also called enlightenment, which is to open up the occlusion of the spiritual root. In fact, except for a very small number of people with special physiques who are born with unobstructed spiritual roots, everyone else who has spiritual roots, no matter how many spiritual roots there are, is closed at birth, and they must rely on external or internal forces to open the occlusion, and if they don't open it, there is no way to absorb the spiritual energy. That's why some people with good spiritual roots can't end up cultivating. ”

"There are two ways to open the spirit, one is to use external forces, to rely on a monk with high mana power to slap the qi sea acupoint with a powerful aura, which is what your medical Tao often says about the lower dantian, and use the power of rebound to break through the occlusion. Another method is to use the Enlightenment Technique, and by running the Enlightenment Technique, it will generate its own endogenous power and impact the occlusion outward. This Sun Lang was enlightened through the Enlightenment Technique. Taeko explained.

"Which method is better?" Shi An asked.

"There are pros and cons to both methods, but using the Enlightenment recipe is simple and easy to do, and it can be done quickly, and if you have a high level of understanding, you can complete it with just one meal. This method will not harm the spiritual root, after all, it is more peaceful and easy to control through external forces than internal forces. But the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, because the endogenous power is too small, it is not convenient to expand the spiritual root, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy in the future may be a little slower. If you're on the safe side, I suggest you use the Enlightenment Technique as well. ”

"The method of using external forces is more complicated, and it requires a monk after the foundation building period to run the spiritual energy in the body to assist, and the advantage is that when the spirit is opened, it also expands the spiritual root by the way, laying a good foundation for absorbing the spiritual energy in the future. However, the process of enlightenment is complex and slow, and it is often difficult to work at one time, and it often needs to be repeated many times. At the same time, it is extremely painful to open the spirit by external force, and if the person who applies the force is not careful, it may cause permanent damage to the spiritual root. This method is rarely used, not because there are no monks with high cultivation, but because the pain and the damage that can be caused are prohibitive. Moreover, the success rate of this method is not high, and many people who have been enlightened will often end up with great success due to permanent damage to the spiritual root, even if they suffer great pain, so it is best not to use this method. ”
