Chapter 14: Spiritual Practice

In the early morning of the second day, in order to hurry, the two got up early, sorted out their things, and started on the road, talking as they walked.

The two first asked each other about the situation, and then got to know each other a little and were no longer informal.

Li Bufan also gradually let go of the pretense at the beginning, and indirectly asked the young man in white a lot about cultivation and the cultivation realm, but the young man was easy-going and knew everything.

Li Bufan learned a lot about the cultivation realm from the young man's mouth, and re-recognized the world he was in.

For example, the most basic cultivation realm is divided, and the lowest realm is the realm of qi cultivation that the youth is in now, and then there is the foundation building mentioned earlier, and then there are the five realms of Jindan, Yuanying, and Huashen.

The realm of refining qi is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to strengthen the primordial spirit, and to practice the realm of tranquility and acceptance of qi in order to seek immortality, and the monks in this realm can condense the aura, although it is generally no different from mortals, but it can prolong life, and can even use the aura to cast some spells.

In this realm, you need to store your own aura in your limbs, and then gather it in the dantian, cycle back and forth, cut the marrow and wash the veins, solidify the true yuan, cast the Dao foundation, refine the mortal fetus, and there is a world of difference between mortals.

Then the Jindan monk can be called the strong man who occupies one side of the cultivation realm, standing on the foundation of the Dao, gathering the aura of the Quartet to knot the golden pill, inscribed the golden text, the golden pill is now the knot, in the Jindan realm, you can use the fire of the human soul to refine the natal magic weapon, the power is endless, and the control of the magic and aura has also reached the point of perfection, this realm is already a height that countless immortal cultivators cannot reach.

And then the Yuan Ying and even the gods, the specific cultivation methods of these two realms are not known by young people, they only know that if they can reach that height, they can have a trace of resonance with heaven and earth, and have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

But now, the Yuanying monks in the cultivation realm are already rare, each of them is a pivotal figure in the cultivation realm, and the god monk has never heard of anyone being promoted successfully in the past five hundred years, and I have heard many Yuan Ying monks try to transform into a spirit baby, but most of them have died in the thunder tribulation of promotion, or they can't touch the threshold of the god at all.

Even so, the pursuit of transforming into a god is enough to make many monks crazy. Especially in a situation like today, almost everyone thinks that there is only a primordial infancy in this world, and everyone wants to be the first person in the world.

But according to the young man, there are rumors in the cultivation realm that there are other mysteries above these five realms, but no one has ever reached those realms, at least they have never known about them.

And all the cultivators are for a legend that has been handed down from thousands of years ago - the cultivation is perfect, immortal, and void, and you can be called immortals. Those who cultivate to the highest level can break through all limitations, climb their cultivation to another level again, or even enter a higher stage, and eventually live with the heavens and transcend reincarnation.

Although this is just a legend, but it is this legend that has become the common goal of all cultivators, who doesn't want to be proud of the world, but thousands of years after this legend, the cultivation world has not heard of anyone who can do it, and even some people say that all this is just a hoax and can never be achieved.

With each level of realm, the strength and even lifespan of the monk will increase significantly, but the difficulty and danger in the process of ascension will also increase exponentially.

And the reason why everyone aspires to a higher realm is precisely because of the effect of immortality it brings, as well as the wealth and vanity brought by strength, that there are many people in the cultivation realm who seek wealth and kill people, taking away other people's treasures to improve themselves.

Li Bufan also felt deeply, the two robed men he met in Surabaya seemed to want to kill people for some unsightly reason, but they were still easily killed by women, which made Li Bufan feel the danger of the cultivation world and the harvest of cultivation at the same time.

His own expectation for cultivation is just that he wants to live a long life and live happily.

In addition to these, Li Bufan also learned some information about the destination of this trip, Yishan Sect.

The Yishan Sect is one of the five major immortal cultivation sects located in the territory of the Jinrui Dynasty, located on the Tianshan Mountains of the Qinglian River.

The other four factions are Linxian Mountain, Star River Valley, Moon God Valley, and Phantom Spirit Gate.

There has been no shortage of secret rivalries between these five factions over the years, but because the strength of each sect is almost the same, there has been no result.

As its name suggests, the Yishan Sect is built near the mountain, based on the Tianshan Mountains, opening up a thousand-year-old Taoist system, it is said that the current Taishang Elder of the Yishan Sect is a Yuanying monk, sitting in Yishan for a hundred years.

In the cultivation realm, there is an unwritten rule, that is, with the sect as the center, it expands outward for 8,000 miles, and is the territory of each sect, although the cultivation realm is not allowed to interfere with the secular realm, but if people from other sects or casual cultivators enter the territory, they must be controlled by the territorial sect.

In the various territories, there are still large and small immortal cultivation families, and most of these families are established by the disciples of the local sect where they are located, and because they cannot continue to improve their realm because of their own qualifications, they leave the sect to establish their own families, and the children of these families can also enter the sect to practice in the future.

And this white-clothed young man is also a child of the Xiuzhen family, his family is called Yuwen Family, and his name is Yuwen Rui, he is already a cultivator of the fifth level of Qi cultivation, and this time he went to the Yishan Sect to try his luck and see if he could join the Yishan Sect.

The reason why it is said to be a stroke of luck is because this selection of disciples is really difficult, the first two items of each conference have not changed, but the last trial has changed from time to time, and many people have left in the last trial.

"Brother Tai, I don't know how this immortal selection meeting was held? It's not going to be a fight, is it? The more Li Bufan listened to the young man, the more worried he became, if it was really a fight, he thought that he was definitely not the opponent of a person who had already practiced like the young man.

He was worried that he would not be able to join the sect, and he would not even be able to take the first step of his dream, although he had a token given by his master who had only seen two sides, but what if it didn't work?

"Hahaha, little brother, you really know how to laugh, one of the items of this Immortal Choice Society is to test your and my spiritual roots." The young man was amused by Li Bufan's question.

"Dare to ask Brother Tai, what is this spiritual root you are talking about?"

Another novelty caused Li Bufan's doubts.

"You don't even know this? In fact, this so-called spiritual root is the foundation that you and I have in our bodies before the foundation is built, and it also reflects the talent and qualifications of the cultivator. However, this situation is very rare, and it is extremely rare, so it is called the spiritual root. ”

"That's why we have to make sure if there is a spiritual root in our body first! The quality of the spiritual root directly determines the cultivation speed of the cultivator and the achievements he can achieve in the future. The young man looked at Li Bufan in shock, but quickly and patiently preached for him.

"And if you don't have a spiritual root in your body, you won't be able to absorb spiritual energy and gather qi in your body, and you won't be able to cultivate."

"Most people don't have spiritual roots in their bodies, which is why cultivators in the world are so rare compared to ordinary people. Spiritual roots are also divided into grades, which are divided into upper, middle, and lower grades, and most of them only have five attributes, ranking among the five elements. But in addition to the non-spiritual root, there are also waste spiritual roots with more than three attributes, two attributes of human spiritual roots, one attribute of earth spirit roots, and rare heavenly spirit roots that transcend the five elements. ”

The more the young man spoke, the more fascinated he became.

"Although the Waste Spiritual Root can be cultivated, the spiritual energy absorbed is too chaotic and ultimately cannot be long-term. And the high-level spiritual root and the heavenly spiritual root are geniuses that are rare to see in a hundred years, and they are the treasures of various sects, and if these people have no accidents in the future, they will inevitably achieve the realm of Jindan, which will be the envy of countless people. The young man was a little depressed as he spoke.

"Brother Tai, you are He Linggen, your Linggen should not be bad."

"Although my spiritual root is not a waste spiritual root, it is not much better, and the bloodline of our Yuwen clan is like this." The young man shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After Li Bufan heard this, he became more and more cool, if he was like the young man said that he was a waste spiritual root or no spiritual root at all, how could he practice?

Li Bufan lowered his head and pondered, he was thinking about his future fate, he knew very well that he was by no means one of those people with outstanding talents, but he didn't want to give up, no matter what, he had to go there to have a look, even if he really didn't get anything in the end.

Subsequently, Li Bufan diverted the topic and began to talk to the young man about his parents' shortcomings.

"Having said that, you and I have known each other for more than a day, and I still don't know where you came from, little brother?"

The young man asked, seemingly intrigued by the question.

"I'm from Surabaya Town, and as I said before, I also met a senior who is also a cultivator by chance, and I came here, and I became interested in cultivation a long time ago." Li Bufan responded.

"In this way, little brother, you turned out to be a loose cultivator." The youth sighed.

"Brother Tai, what is this loose cultivation?" Li Bufan didn't pretend anymore and asked directly.

"I'll just say why you've been asking me about cultivation, little brother, but it makes sense to say that you are a casual cultivator, this casual cultivator is actually a person who has not joined the sect, or is not a family cultivator, because this kind of person has no other restraints from others, so it is called casual cultivation."

"Most of the casual cultivation is a half-path practice, and the exercises you practice are also due to some chances, but you haven't practiced yet, so you must have not obtained the exercises yet."

"What Brother Tai said is good, I really haven't gotten the exercises yet, but I just heard from that senior that you can cultivate immortals when you go to Yishan Sect, so I rushed here."

Li Bufan also felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but think that his master, why didn't he know to give himself a book of exercises, according to what the young man said, the sooner he practiced, the better, although it was not much earlier, but fortunately, he could adapt himself in advance.
