Chapter 2: The Theory of the Spiritual Root

"Hello Liubo!" Ye Ming smiled at Ye Yuanrui.

"I know that you kid is waiting for me, let's talk about it in my cave! The lark brewed by you is very much to my liking and has some effect on my wounds, is there anything else? Bring me three more altars. Ye Yuanrui smiled at Ye Ming and asked Mimi.

"If you had told your nephew earlier, maybe you could have kept more, I have two altars left here, both for you!" Bailing Brew needs dozens of precious elixirs, and my nephew has also worked hard to get them together, and it will probably take a long time to find the medicine. Ye Ming took out two clear gray wine jars from the storage bag and handed them to Ye Yuanrui, explaining.

"Two altars are barely enough." Ye Yuanrui accepted the spirit wine, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Ye Ming, "Take it, next time you encounter the elixir, these spirit stones may be useful." ”

Ye Ming waved his hand and said, "Sixth Uncle, how can I collect your money!" ”

"I'll let you take it, you will accept it, it's not easy for you to find the elixir, and it takes time to make wine, next time you brew some, remember to leave two more jars with me."

"Yes, then I'll take it..."

The two of them walked through a section of mountain road and entered Ye Yuanrui's cave.

The cave is not big or small, ten zhang square, and on the west side there are some jade ore the size of a grinding plate, as well as dozens of unknown minerals and wood, these objects occupy almost half of the space.

Ye Ming had been here several times and was very familiar with the furnishings of the remaining space in the house.

There are two stone beds, one large and one small, placed against the north wall, and in the center of the large bed rests a round futon made of awakening grass, and nothing else.

The cot was softer, with a jade pillow and several carved wooden ponies and a slingshot at the head of the bed; Next to the small bed stood two small bookcases, neatly stacked with all kinds of thread-bound books.

In the center of the room is a stone table with an oil lamp and a set of white porcelain tea sets; Four stone chairs were placed next to the stone table.

Ye Yuanrui beckoned Ye Ming to sit down at the table, and then took out two pieces of green and shining tea leaves from the storage bag and put them into the teapot on the table.

I saw the light flickering between his fingers, and a small cloud of mist appeared in mid-air, and then a cloud of hot and smoking water fell into the teapot.

This hand-level spell rain transformation technique was extremely smooth, and it was as natural as flowing clouds and water in Ye Ming's eyes.

I only heard Ye Yuanrui say to himself: "Come on, come on, taste my newly obtained Ming and Qing Ling tea!" It's been a while since your spiritual sense transformed into divine consciousness, and it just so happens that this spiritual tea can give birth to divine consciousness, I have three new tablets, these two tablets are now drunk by our uncle and nephew, and the other one is reserved for Xuan Ye to use in the future. This kid in my family doesn't have much patience, and he has only cultivated to the second level of Qi cultivation, which is far worse than you! In the future, if you can, help me take care of him. ”

Ye Ming looked intently at the tea set on Ye Yuanrui's tinkering table, and subconsciously replied: "I also like Brother Nineteen very much, he is still young, don't you often teach us that cultivation is water grinding kung fu?" ”

"That's right, it's me who is in a hurry, I always think he can be faster, and I don't want him to follow my old path."

After a while, the entire hall was filled with a faint fragrance of tea, and Ye Yuanrui pushed a cup of spiritual tea in front of Ye Ming and motioned for him to use tea.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu!

Ye Ming picked up the white porcelain cup and looked at the turquoise spiritual tea floating in the cup in front of him, which was covered with uniform leaf vein lines, which was very beautiful.

A faint fragrance came to my nose, I took a deep breath, and felt that the exhaustion was swept away.

Ye Ming drank the spiritual tea in one gulp, closed his eyes and recuperated for a while, feeling a clear mind in his head.

"How? Let's get a catch! ”

Ye Ming nodded, he still didn't remember the purpose of this trip, and then asked with a straight face: "Sixth uncle, nephew wants to hear your opinion on the spiritual root?" ”

Ye Yuanrui pondered for a moment and said: "Regarding the popular saying about the five elements spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, everyone is the same, so I won't be verbose here." ”

Ye Yuanrui saw that Ye Qiming nodded in agreement, and continued: "In addition to the Five Elements Spiritual Root, there are also three or two kinds of Spirit Roots that have been sublimated and mutated by the Five Elements attributes. For example, there are three mutated spirit roots: the ice spirit root with water attribute derivation, the wind spirit root with wood attribute derivation, and the thunder spirit root with metallic derivative change. In addition, there are innate special spirit roots, such as dark spirit roots, hidden spirit roots, and instrumental spirit roots...... In addition, there are also growth-type fusion spirit roots, five elements chaos spirit roots that can awaken bloodlines, and so on. ”

"After the cultivation of these spiritual roots has been completed, all of them are powerful characters in the same level of existence. I remember fifteen years ago, when I had just cultivated to the ninth level of the Qi cultivation period, I was sent by my family to the Meteoric Immortal Sea south of Linhai County to carry out a mission. Ye Yuanrui said that he was rising, and his face also showed a hint of fascination.

"Sixth Uncle, why haven't I found any books on the root of the spirit in the family library? And what kind of spiritual root is the Melting Spirit Root? Is my nephew's spiritual root a mutated spiritual root? ”

Ye Yuanrui looked at Ye Ming's thoughtful expression, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Yes, you can find clues from the content of my preaching so quickly, you are indeed very smart." ”

"The lack of records about the special spiritual roots in the Library Pavilion is due to the lack of family heritage."

"Regarding the situation you encountered in your cultivation, the high-level family members thought that it was a bottleneck in cultivation, but after many clansmen secretly inquired, now that you have eyebrows, it is very likely that some unknown mutation has occurred in the spiritual root you have, and the biggest one may be that it is deriving from the spiritual root of the wind."

"This kind of acquired spirit root is quite rare, the family has never had a mutated spirit root since the establishment of the clan, so no one knows about the cultivation of the alien spirit root."

"Also, in the early stage, you can practice ordinary Five Elements Exercises, because the Wind Spirit Root is mutated from the Wood Attribute Spirit Root, and you also have a strong affinity for the wood Spirit Power in the early stage of Qi training, but in the middle and late stages of Qi training, this affinity will begin to decline, perhaps because your True Yuan is purer than that of monks of the same level, and there is no suitable exercise to guide the True Yuan in the body, which leads to the stagnation of cultivation, if you get the right exercises, your cultivation will also enter a period of rapid growth."

"That's great!" Hearing Sixth Uncle's answer, Ye Ming was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout.

Ye Yuanrui said again: "Those who have spiritual roots among mortals in the secular world are one in a million, that is, the probability of our kind of immortal cultivation family being born with a spiritual root is much higher, and the wind attribute spirit root is also rare to see in our entire Tianfeng territory for a hundred years, so the record of the wind attribute spirit root is only clear to some big forces that have been inherited for a long time. ”

"As for the special spirit roots such as dark spirit roots, hidden spirit roots, and melting spirit roots, they are only recorded in the scattered classics left by ancient times, and I am afraid that even fewer people know about them......"

The more Ye Yuanrui spoke, the more excited he became, he agreed very much with this knowledgeable and intelligent junior, and he couldn't wait to tell him everything he knew.

"Uncle Liu's knowledge is so broad!" Ye Ming praised from the bottom of his heart.

When Ye Yuanrui heard Ye Ming say this, he felt very useful in his heart, and laughed and said: "These insights can only be accessed if you have traveled far away and traveled in all directions, and maybe in the future, you will also have the opportunity to contact some disciples from the sect, and you can learn more common sense by interacting with them." These descriptions of special spiritual roots were the ones I heard from a disciple of the Jade Court Sect. ”

Ye Yuanrui saw Ye Ming's wistful expression, and said: "As long as you solve the problem of the exercises, your cultivation speed will come up, I believe you will not gain nothing in this year, right?" ”

"Your body cultivation is round, pure and deep, far beyond the same realm of monks, these are all necessary homework before building the foundation, I am optimistic about you!"

Ye Ming modestly replied: "Sixth Uncle is too praised!" I hope you can recover soon and advance to the foundation building period. ”

Ye Yuanrui said: "You don't have to be humble, you are the hope of the family." I'm different, I'm a four-attribute pseudo-spiritual root, and the family's ability to support me to the peak of the Qi cultivation period is already the limit, and the chance of preparing the foundation building pill for me is very small, and whether the sixth uncle can build the foundation in his lifetime still depends on chance! ”

He sighed lightly, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Our Ye family was able to save the current family business because of the lives of the ancestors of the Ye family from generation to generation. The family will still rely on you young juniors with potential in the future, there are many opportunities in the outside world, and the opportunities that should be fought for must be grasped ......"

"Ancestor Ye Hong was born in Sanxiu, and by chance, he obtained a clan establishment order in the realm of consummation during the Qi cultivation period, which created the Ye family of our Nanling lineage. He once set up: The family legend Xiangrui, Qiyuan Xuan Shixing ten generations, passed down to your generation for eight generations. ”

"For many years, the family has only produced such a Purple Mansion monk as Uncle Ruixiang, a three-attribute true spiritual root, and the family also relies on his old man's development to enable our Ye family to occupy half of the county."

"Although it is difficult to change the spiritual root qualification of an immortal cultivator, if you can meet the right opportunity, it is not impossible to build a foundation, and the deception of the immortal cultivation world is even more difficult to prevent, and building a foundation is just a starting point for moving towards a higher realm!"

Ye Yuanrui's voice was high and low, slowly narrating, Ye Ming did not interject, nodding from time to time, he also heard the persistence in the words of the sixth uncle.

Even many years later, the teachings of this family predecessor still came to his mind from time to time, and he often became a model in the mouths of generations of family children.
