Chapter 17: Cultivating Everyday Life
It took a short time to set up a tent, get some stones to make a simple stove, and then go to collect fuel.
After picking up enough firewood, Xiao Tian sat down and counted today's harvest, and He Shou Wu obtained 13 and 5 ginseng. It's a pity that the highest year of ginseng is only the 110-year-old, and the others range from 10 to 30 years, but He Shou Wu has a little more than 100 years, a total of 5.
Originally, he was still thinking about whether he could find the spirit grass, probably because this was the periphery, so he didn't touch any of them, which made Xiao Tian very depressed.
Listening to Xiao Yin, He Shou Wu can be eaten raw, cooked, or stewed, but under the current conditions, it can only be eaten raw and cooked. So he got a hundred-year-old He Shou Wu to taste the taste, eat part of it raw, the taste is sweet and slightly bitter, you can satisfy hunger; the other part is set on fire and burned inside, the technique is not good, and part of it is burned, but the taste of cooking is very sweet, even the bitterness is gone, and the aftertaste is endless after eating.
Such delicious food, when the time comes, bring it back to my mother to taste, and by the way, give a little to the goddess Fu Yuanyuan, maybe she will rely on me, haha...!
The food in the cultivation realm tastes many times better than that on the earth, because it is primitive, and it is full of spiritual energy everywhere, so it's no wonder it's not good!
It's just that when you eat the rice you cooked, you don't need to mention how bad the taste is, and in the spirit of not wasting it, you can finish the rice in one pot. Fortunately, the processed pickled beans and bamboo shoots that I bought, similar to the pickles of Lao Gan Ma and Rice Sweep, taste good and are very effective with rice.
After dinner, when he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Tian found that there was not much water. There is no puddle or anything in the forest, and there is no place to even take a bath, and some sea salt particles will condense all over the body after bathing in the seawater, which is very troublesome.
"Xiao Yin, where can I get clean water? I'm running out. ”
"Oh, master, it's a very simple question, you see!"
After Xiao Yin finished speaking, she waved her hand, and a burst of blue light flickered. Soon after, a cloud coalesced in mid-air, and then the cloud grew smaller and smaller, until it finally formed a small water mass, about the size of a bowl. When Xiao Tian saw it, he immediately took out a basin and caught the water ball.
It turns out that it is so easy for cultivators to get water! In the future, there is no need to worry about running out of water to drink.
Xiao Yin's many abilities also need to be developed, and after she becomes a cultivator in the future, she will also have to learn more awesome spells!
When there was water, Xiao Tian refilled the kettle, not only that, but he also got some more water and prepared to take a refreshing bath.
There is no one around, and you don't have to worry about what you are ashamed of or not, just come to the open air to bathe.
No, there is also a beautiful Xiaoyin with a magic weapon change!
"Xiaoyin, I want to take a bath, you are not allowed to peek!"
"Master, your body has no secrets in front of me, and besides, I am a magic weapon and have no interest in your human body. ”
Xiao Tian is amorous, and at the same time he is not attractive to other beauties, and he has no secrets to speak of, which makes him very strange.
"Is there really no secret to speak of? Don't you know how big my Tintin is?"
"Ice Spirit Silver Needle!"
"Hmm..."
Hearing Xiao Yin tell the fact that his little brother was very small, he quickly covered the important part with his hand.
"Hehe, it's useless to cover it with your hands!"
Poof, Xiao Tian wants to vomit three liters of blood, he can't live anymore, he even knows his most important secret, and is there any private privacy? Is there a royal law? Is there a heavenly reason???
"Cough, Xiaoyin, as long as you know this secret, don't talk nonsense everywhere, I'm going to take a shower, you better avoid it!"
Xiao Tian was embarrassed to let a creature of the opposite sex stare at him in the bath, so he still let Xiao Yin fly away. When he was taking a bath, he gently flicked his little brother a few times, not angry, this is a hard injury!
At night, the weather cools down, and after taking a bath, the body is also very comfortable. For Xiuzhen, he still thought in his heart, although he didn't get any results from practicing in the morning, but Xiuzhen relied on perseverance, so he still had to practice at night.
Xiao Tian found a flat place to sit down cross-legged, calm down, and then began to cultivate.
The environment at night is very quiet, there are some insects chirping, and the other is the sound of one's own breathing. Xiao Tian adjusted his breathing rhythmically, and the moonlight fell, and a very shallow shadow was imprinted on the ground.
At this moment, he silently recited the mantra in his heart: plant beans in the south of the mountain, and the grass is full of beans and seedlings. Morningside is desolate, and returns with the moon and lotus. The road is narrow and the grass and trees are long, and the evening dew stains my clothes. It is not a pity to stain the clothes, but the wish is not violated.
As he recited the mantra over and over again, he became more and more familiar with the mantra, which faintly felt some charm, and there seemed to be a flow of air surging in his abdomen, which was very mysterious.
The easiest way to get started with cultivation is to exhale the free aura in the air, and then store it in the dantian yu and refine it for your own use.
However, the way of heaven is ethereal, and not everyone can successfully store the spiritual energy in the dantian, which also requires qualifications, which is what cultivators often call the spiritual root.
There are many kinds of spiritual roots, common gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and five element attributes. Other special spiritual roots such as light, darkness, thunder, ice, etc., will not be listed here.
Monks rely on these spiritual roots to cultivate, and some people do not have spiritual roots, so they are naturally unable to cultivate, and those who have spiritual roots are judged to be able to cultivate to that point according to their grades.
The grades of spiritual roots are divided into inferior, inferior, medium, middle, upper, superior, superb, and spirit.
For example, if you are inferior, you can only cultivate to the Qi cultivation period at most, and there is no special reason, and you don't want to build a foundation for the rest of your life. Superior, superb, spirit body These are the top spiritual roots, as long as there are no accidents, there is no problem with Mahayana. If something goes wrong in your cultivation, then don't talk about it.
People with good spiritual roots are naturally easy to absorb spiritual energy, so what kind of spiritual root is our protagonist Xiao Tian?
I won't sell Guan Zi here, in fact, his spiritual root is formless, colorless, and attributeless.
There is no spiritual energy on the earth, and it is impossible to give birth to a spiritual root, and there is no way to talk about a spiritual root, after all, a spiritual root is not created out of nothing. Only where the aura is strong can more spiritual roots be born.
Just like the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect, the first sect in the Heavenly Dome Continent, it occupies the best territory in the world, and its aura is unimaginably strong, and it can naturally give birth to many extremely high-quality spiritual roots. Therefore, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect is full of talents, even if it is the Six Springs Sect of the second sect in the world, they have spring water to improve their qualifications, and the talents in the sect are not comparable to the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect.
Xiao Tian didn't have a spiritual root, why could he cultivate? Because he had been specially transformed by Xiao Yin, and the cultivation technique he had obtained was very rebellious, he was able to cultivate. It's just that without the assistance of the spiritual root, how slow the speed is, everyone can imagine it.
At this moment, he is trying to recite scriptures, maintain the rhythm of breathing, relax his body organs, and comprehend the universe, hoping to intercept a trace of spiritual energy from the vast ocean of spiritual power and turn it into his own use.
Huang Tian lives up to his wishes, and where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you work hard, seize the opportunity, and persevere, there is still a glimmer of opportunity.
In the dark night, the melodious sound of insects wafts in the air, as if because of their chirping, the night here is more secluded, away from people.
Time was spent unconsciously in cultivation, and at a certain moment, he opened his eyes, stumbled slightly when he got up, and hammered his thigh a few times before gently entering the tent to sleep. No loud talking, no howling, as if unwilling to break the silence of the night...
