Chapter 157: Five Elements Spiritual Root
The five colors displayed on the Spiritual Root Ruler represent the five Spiritual Root attributes and qualification points.
They are gold, wood, water, water, fire, and earth.
When she first used this ruler that day, Hua Ying didn't care about these points, and this time she tested the spiritual root again to figure out what the words that appeared on the spiritual root ruler meant.
At the same time, her right hand flicked and gently opened a book lying on the table.
"Cultivating the Truth and Secrets".
This book is extremely heavy, and the book records in detail all kinds of secrets in the cultivation realm, and there are countless complicated things, big and small.
When she first read this book, Hua Ying was quite attentive, and she was studying it almost word by word.
Among them, the first thing that attracted her attention was the chapter on the 'Spiritual Root Theory', which is described in the first few pages of the book.
Different from the "Miscellaneous Records of the Cultivation of Immortals" obtained in Dongshanfang City, the explanation of the monk's 'spiritual root' recorded in this "Cultivation of Truth and Secret Concealment" is very comprehensive, not only covering the explanation of the attributes of the big five elements and the small three strange spirit roots, but also analyzing in detail the qualifications of various waste spirit roots and hidden spirit roots.
Even the many 'spirits' that exist only in legends have been written a little.
Hua Ying was greatly surprised, and read through this 'Linggen Theory' chapter several times in a row, and only stopped after she was thoroughly familiar with it.
At this point, she finally had a preliminary understanding of the cultivation qualifications in the immortal cultivation world.
The so-called spiritual root is not only the root bone that cultivators use to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also gather in their own roots.
Root bones are born long, born with them, and with root bones, they also have the qualifications for cultivation.
Among mortals, there is not one in ten thousand who has this root. Therefore, every person who has a spiritual root is a rare existence in the secular world.
The spiritual roots of monks are mostly divided into five attributes: 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth'. These five kinds of spiritual roots are known as the Great Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
Wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, water produces wood, and the five spiritual roots grow together.
In addition to attributes, there is a difference in the quality of the spiritual root.
Normally, whether it is a single, double, or multi-Root Monk, there will be a cap on the number of qualification points they can have. Moreover, everyone is different, and when they are born, they will be as much as they are, just like the spiritual root attribute, which will not change for the rest of their lives.
The Heavenly Dao is constant, and the upper limit of a monk's spiritual root qualification is one hundred points, and even the most talented people cannot break this shackle.
Although the upper limit of the spiritual root qualification is 100 points, not all monks can reach this upper limit.
For example, if a monk with the three attributes of gold, wood, and water has 30 qualification points, 20 wood points, and 40 water points, then his total qualification is 90 points, which is not up to the upper limit of 100 qualifications.
Although this kind of monk is lacking in the avenue, and the spiritual root qualification is inherently incomplete, although it is much stronger than the mortal who has no spiritual root, it is not the most suitable cultivation material, and it is much worse than the Heavenly Spiritual Root Monk who is called the pride of the sky.
A Heavenly Spiritual Root Monk is a Monk who is born with a Spiritual Root qualification of one hundred points and a single attribute Spiritual Root.
For example, if the monk of a single fire spirit root has a fire spirit root qualification point of one hundred, it is a fire attribute heavenly spirit root. The same goes for the Monk of the Single Water Spiritual Root, the Monk of the Single Earth Spiritual Root, and the monks of other attributes.
In addition to these, even a monk with a single spirit root with ninety-nine qualification points cannot be called a Heavenly Spirit Root monk.
Although it was only a little bit of qualification, it was far from the Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator who had a true spiritual root perfection. The difference between them is not only reflected in the difference in cultivation speed, but also in the power of casting spells of each system and the difficulty of comprehending the Heavenly Dao.
What's even more terrifying is that the Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators don't have any bottlenecks when they are cultivating, and they can easily break the middle and late stage of Qi cultivation that ordinary cultivators are struggling with, and their daily cultivation is as smooth as flowing water.
Even, the Heavenly Spirit Root Monk did not need to take any additional pills to assist in the breakthrough, and he was able to successfully break through to the Zhuji and Jindan realms.
For them, as long as they cultivate steadily and don't die halfway, building a foundation and forming a pill is like probing for things, it's just a matter of time.
The Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators were so rebellious that they couldn't be described as rare, and in the entire Qiushui Country Cultivation True Realm, for a hundred years, two hundred years, it was difficult to find a single Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator.
And every time the Heavenly Spirit Root Monk appears, he will inevitably be contested by the major immortal sects, and no sect will give up such a genius monk who is rare in hundreds of years to others.
When she saw this from the book, Hua Ying's heart suddenly struck.
At this time, she suddenly thought, gold, wood, water, water, fire, and earth and twenty, doesn't it add up to a hundred?
Am I also a Heavenly Spirit Root Monk?
Hua Ying thought to herself.
However, before she could be happy, she was suddenly disappointed when she saw the passage about other spiritual root qualifications recorded at the back of the 'Linggen Theory'.
Generally speaking, the amount of spiritual energy that a monk can absorb over a period of time basically depends on the intensity of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the place where he is located. A monk who meditates and cultivates in a place where the aura is strong will increase his mana at a significantly faster rate than a monk who cultivates in a place where the aura is thin.
And under the condition that the aura of heaven and earth is the same, the spiritual root qualification points are the second factor that affects the cultivation speed.
For example, a single-fire spiritual root cultivator with a qualification of eighty who specializes in fire-attribute exercises, only needs to use his skills to absorb and refine the fire-attribute spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and his mana true yuan can grow rapidly, and his cultivation speed can often reach several times that of a monk with mixed spiritual roots.
For another example, if a monk with a dual-attribute spiritual root of gold and wood has a qualification point of 50 gold and 30 of wood, the vast majority of monks will choose the metal exercise with the highest qualification point of a single spiritual root. This is the most efficient, and it can even reach the cultivation effect of a medium single spirit root cultivator.
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, there are very few people who have both dual spiritual roots and both attribute exercises.
You must know that although the Twin Spirit Root Cultivators can absorb the aura of two attributes at the same time, in total, they are actually not less than the Single Spirit Root Cultivators with the same qualification points. However, after absorbing, the two kinds of spiritual energy still need to be refined separately before they can be converted into true yuan, which greatly reduces the cultivation speed, and is far less smooth than the practice of cultivating one attribute alone.
Therefore, most of the monks of the Twin Spiritual Roots and the Multiple Spiritual Roots will only practice a single exercise. Under the restriction of the spiritual root qualification points, it was inherently difficult for them to compare with the single spirit root or even the heavenly spirit root cultivators in terms of cultivation speed.
However, there are exceptions, and there are also cases where the distribution of qualification points among the Dorlingen monks is extremely uneven.
Although it is rare for a certain kind of spiritual root to have more than 90 points, and several other spiritual roots have only a few points, it is not uncommon. Even if such a monk is a mixed spiritual root, he can still be called extremely talented, and once he appears, he will be sought after and recruited by the major immortal sects.
And for ordinary monks with ordinary qualifications, it is obvious that they cannot hope for such a very extreme situation to happen.
Therefore, in most cases, those who have the qualification of Heavenly Spirit Root, no matter where they are in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, are absolute heavenly pride. They are favored by the heavens alone, as long as there are no accidents, and they cultivate normally, it will be extremely easy to break through to the Dan stage and even the Yuan Infant stage in the future.
And second only to the Heavenly Spirit Root, is a single Spirit Root Cultivator with extremely high Spirit Root points, and anyone with more than ninety points of qualification can still be named a genius. This kind of cultivator, even if it is placed in a vast area like the Qiushui Country Immortal Cultivation Realm, with a population of hundreds of millions, is an extremely rare existence, even among the six great immortal sects, the number is only a handful.
It is precisely because of this that any monk who can have a single spiritual root qualification point of more than sixty can be called excellent, if they want to worship the six immortal gates of the Qiushui country, it is not a problem at all, and they can even be selected by the six immortal gates without passing the assessment.
You must know that most of the backbone disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect are just monks with double spirit roots and three spirit roots. With a little training for a few decades, such a highly qualified single spirit root cultivator could easily add a high-level disciple to the sect. Given time, it will not be a problem at all to train them to become elders in the Dan period.
And after the double spirit root and three spirit root monks, there are the four spirit root monks who are the least popular among the major sects in the immortal cultivation world.
The Four Spiritual Root Monks, also known as the Pseudo Spiritual Root Monks.
There are a large number of such monks, accounting for more than eighty percent of the number of monks in the immortal cultivation world, and they can be seen no matter where they are.
The reason why the Four Spiritual Root Cultivators are not treated well by the various sects is because the qualification points of each spiritual root of these monks are extremely low, and few of them can exceed thirty points.
Their cultivation prospects are slim, even if they cultivate hard all their lives, at most they can only reach the realm of the late stage of Qi cultivation, and it is almost impossible to break through to the foundation building stage without any chance.
Therefore, most of the Four Spirit Root Cultivators were the lowest level of casual cultivation, and few of them could be looked down upon by those immortal sects. Among these people, if they are lucky, they may be able to join which family. If you are unlucky, you can only be a casual cultivator for the rest of your life, and live a life in various fairy cities and markets.
As for the Five Spiritual Root Monks, they are an outlier.
According to the chapter 'Spiritual Root Theory', a person who possesses the five spiritual roots is a monk with a full spiritual root.
People with such qualifications can not only practice single attribute exercises, but also practice the Five Elements Exercises, which can only be practiced by those with five spiritual root qualifications.
The Five Elements Exercise is not only a kind of exercise that absorbs the aura of heaven and earth with five attributes at the same time, but also integrates it into one, and cultivates it through the theoretical cultivation of the five elements of heaven and earth.
Unlike those multi-spiritual root cultivators who also practice several exercises, when the five-spirit root cultivators practice the Five Elements exercises, they do not need to refine the absorbed five attribute spiritual qi separately, and they can directly condense the heaven and earth spiritual qi they have absorbed into the true yuan like the single spiritual root cultivator, and will not delay time in this regard.
At first glance, it seems that those who possess the Five Spiritual Root Cultivators are also extremely talented, and they should be like those Single Spiritual Root Cultivators, who have extremely fast cultivation speed.
However, a monk who practiced this kind of Five Elements Exercise, even if he was born with a hundred qualification points, could not compare to the cultivation speed of a single spirit root cultivator. Even the most common Four Spiritual Root Cultivators can't compare.
This was due to the fact that cultivating the five spirit roots at the same time required the need to absorb and refine the heaven and earth spiritual qi was too large.
Different from other spiritual root cultivators, the Five Spiritual Root cultivators who practice the Five Elements Exercise must condense the true essence of the five attributes in the dantian at the same time, and they must all reach the level of consummation of the current realm in order to make a breakthrough in their own cultivation.
In other words, the Five Spiritual Root Cultivators need to meditate and cultivate five times as many mana true elements as ordinary cultivators in order to break the current cultivation bottleneck and enter the next realm.
This means that two Five Spiritual Root Monks and Heavenly Spiritual Root Monks who are also one hundred points of qualification, and the Five Spiritual Root Monks need to meditate several times the number of years and months of the Heavenly Spiritual Root Monks, in order to be on a par with the Heavenly Spiritual Root Monks and be in the same cultivation realm.
If a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator can attain a pill after cultivating for fifty years, then a Five Spiritual Root Cultivator with perfect qualifications and points will need two or three hundred years of penance to do so.
However, the longevity of a monk is always limited, and an ordinary monk in the foundation building period, even if he cultivates to the later stage, is at most more than 200 years old. In contrast, the Heavenly Spirit Root Monk and the Five Spirit Root Monk are afraid that they will survive until death, and it will be difficult to break through to the Dan Formation Period.
Therefore, it seems that the Five Spiritual Root Cultivators can use all the qualification points of the Five Spiritual Roots to cultivate at the same time, but none of the Five Spiritual Root Cultivators will cultivate the Five Elements Exercises.
As a result, the vast majority of the Five Spiritual Root Cultivators in the Cultivation Realm would only specialize in a single attribute of cultivation like other Multi-Spiritual Root Cultivators.
It's just that, in this way, the qualifications of the Five Spiritual Root Monks have become the bottom existence, and even the most common Four Spiritual Root Monks can't compare.
It is precisely because of this that the already rare Five Spirit Root Cultivators are about to disappear in today's immortal cultivation world. Even, today's Five Spiritual Root Monks will be jokingly called Miscellaneous Spiritual Roots and Waste Spiritual Roots by some people.
Seeing this, Hua Ying's heart was extremely lost.
Now she finally understood why her cultivation speed was so slow, after all, she had to cultivate five times the mana true yuan of ordinary monks to break through, even if she ate so many spirit grass elixirs, it was still very difficult.
Actually, Hua Ying is not bad, at least she is still full of qualification points, if it is only half, I am afraid that the cultivation speed will be even more desperate.
But in general, this kind of qualification is still quite helpless.
After a moment of distress, Hua Ying muttered to herself:
"No wonder I always feel that the mana in the dantian is much more abundant than others, it turns out that the spiritual root qualification is doing the trick."
Hua Ying thought back at this time, that day she controlled the pangolin beast to chase and kill Steward Zhu, and she was able to release wave after wave of spells effortlessly, forcing a monk who practiced qi at the sixth level to kneel and beg for mercy, obviously also due to her strong mana.
The Five Spirit Root Cultivators can also handle this, although they need a huge amount of mana true yuan to break through the realm, but it has also created a mana stock in their dantian that is several times that of a monk of the same level.
And with such a strong mana in his body, within the same level, when the means of the two sides are very similar, the mana of the Five Spirit Root Monks is more abundant, and he can cast various spells according to the battle situation, and he can easily restrain the enemy, and he has a great advantage in hand-fighting.
Therefore, if the Five Spiritual Root Monks have enough opportunities to grow up smoothly, their future achievements may be worse than that of the Single Spiritual Root Monks.
"In other words, this book of "Mixed Spirit Decision" that Master taught me is actually a secret book of the Five Elements Exercises?"
Thinking of this, Hua Ying took out a book, looked puzzled, and slowly opened it.
