Volume 2 The Talent of Entering the Flowing Clouds Begins to Appear Chapter 102 Spiritual Flow
Qi Inducing Pill, as the name suggests, is an elixir that helps beginners to induce qi into the body.
Although it is said that people with spiritual roots, in principle, as long as the conditions are right, they can cultivate immortals, but the agility and degree of spiritual roots of different attributes are fundamentally different.
For example, the owner of the water-attribute heavenly spirit root, even if he does not have the cultivation of immortal exercises, when he is in a famous mountain or river with a general or even sparse aura, he will naturally feel the existence of the water-attribute aura.
However, if it is a dual-attribute spiritual root and other spiritual roots, it is almost impossible to feel the existence of spiritual energy without deliberate cultivation.
And even if it is a practice, the spiritual root of each attribute is only easy to feel the aura of the corresponding attribute, and it is almost unresponsive to the aura of other attributes.
For example, at the beginning of cultivation, the dual-attribute spiritual root of water and wood will only be sensitive to the aura of water attribute and wood attribute, and will not feel the aura of other attributes.
Therefore, the function of the Qi Induction Pill is to help people with poor spiritual root attributes to more easily feel the presence of the spiritual energy and introduce it into the body to operate according to the requirements of the exercises.
Once you feel the aura, and can absorb the aura in the air into the body, and guide the aura to complete the operation in the body according to the running route and method required by the exercise, and finally compress it in the dantian, it belongs to refining the absorbed aura.
This kind of spiritual power stored in the dantian of the body is called mana.
The amount of spiritual energy absorbed and refined at one time is usually called the spiritual flow, but the spiritual qi flow absorbed and refined for the first time by people with different spiritual root attributes is often very different.
Taking an ordinary person, that is, an ordinary three-attribute spiritual root owner, as an example, assuming that the spiritual qi flow of his first absorption of refining is doubled, then the spiritual qi flow of the dual-attribute spiritual root owner absorbing refining for the first time is at least twice as much.
The owner of the Mutated Spirit Root is at least four times, the owner of the Heavenly Spirit Root is at least eight times, the Holy Spirit Root is sixteen times, the Fairy Spirit Root is thirty times, and the Strange Spirit Root and the Bitter Spirit Root are at least sixty-four times.
The reason for these differences is mainly due to the role of the spiritual root.
Taking the Bitter Spirit Root as an example, it is equivalent to the mana cultivated by its owner is sixty-four times purer than that of ordinary Three Spirit Root cultivators, which is why the difference in strength between the owners of different attribute spirit roots when practicing the same exercises and spells will be particularly huge.
Of course, within the same small realm, every time the same monk absorbs and refines the spiritual qi, there will actually not be much change.
However, the criteria for judging a Qi Refining Cultivator's cultivation realm did not depend on the different spiritual qi flows absorbed and refined each time, but on the contrary, there was a unified standard.
When the spiritual qi stored in the dantian reaches nine bundles, it is entering the ranks of the first-level cultivators of qi refining;
If it reaches the ninety-nine bundles, it is to enter the ranks of the second-level cultivators of qi refining;
By analogy, the third layer of gas refining requires 199 bundles, the fourth layer of gas refining requires 299 bundles, the fifth layer of gas refining requires 399 bundles, and the sixth layer of gas refining requires 499 bundles;
The seventh layer of qi refining requires five hundred and ninety-nine bundles, the eighth layer of qi refining requires six hundred and ninety-nine bundles, the ninth layer of qi refining requires seven hundred and ninety-nine bundles, and the tenth layer of qi refining is the Great Perfection, which requires eight hundred and ninety-nine bundles.
The realm of the Great Perfection is the end point of the accumulation of spiritual energy during the Qi refining period, and it is the intermediate stage of the transition from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period, and it may break through to the foundation building period at any time.
However, due to the extremely large amount of aura required to break through the foundation building stage, monks will generally continue to accumulate in the Dzogchen stage until they break through the 950 bundles.
Nine hundred and fifty bunches ago, there was a high probability that the monk could break through and enter the foundation building period at any time, and if he relied on the pill, he could almost reach a 10% probability.
After nine hundred and fifty bundles, it will definitely be able to break through and enter the foundation building period, and there is no need to rely on pills.
But this is a very difficult thing, and for a cultivator with a three-attribute spiritual root, it is already a rare thing to be able to enter the Great Perfection realm and consolidate it, let alone accumulate nine hundred and fifty spiritual qi streams.
Even a dual-attribute spiritual root cultivator could only accumulate a maximum of nine hundred and fifty spiritual qi streams. Only monks with mutated spiritual roots and above spiritual roots could accumulate more than nine hundred and fifty spiritual qi flows.
However, it is basically impossible to accumulate nine hundred and ninety-nine spiritual qi flows, and in the past and present, the immortal cultivation realm in the outer regions of Qianzhou has never heard of anyone who has reached it.
As for the legendary thousand spiritual currents, they were even more unheard of, as if a legend had floated from ancient times.
Don't underestimate the difference between a thousand beams and nine hundred and ninety-nine bundles is just a beam of spiritual airflow, according to ancient records, a thousand beams of spiritual air flow has surpassed perfection, representing an extreme, a possibility that can achieve the pinnacle of the human world.
Not to mention that it is not completely impossible to use the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period to fight against the monks who have just entered the foundation building period, even if they use cultivation purely to fight against the monks who have just entered the foundation building stage.
The ascension of each level of cultivation is, in principle, the number of spiritual currents to meet the conditions, but the reality is often more complicated.
Because once the cultivation is improved, the amount of spiritual energy flow absorbed and refined again will be much higher than the amount of spiritual energy flow in the previous realm, so it is necessary to stabilize the realm.
After refining and compressing all the spiritual qi flow accumulated by the previous layer of cultivation to make it conform to the spiritual qi flow of the latter realm, the realm can be considered to be stabilized.
For example, when a cultivator on the first level of qi refining accumulated ninety-nine spiritual qi flows in the dantian, in principle, he entered the second layer of qi refining.
However, if you don't refine and compress the original ninety-nine spiritual qi streams to conform to the spiritual qi flow that you absorb and refine every time you improve your realm, your realm will be unstable and may fall at any time.
After the realm is stabilized, with the current absorption and refining of the spiritual qi flow as the standard, as long as the number of spiritual qi accumulated in the dantian reaches one hundred and ninety-nine bundles, it is to step into the third-layer realm of qi refining, and so on.
In addition, there are obstacles to the ascension of small realms, such as the initial stage entering the middle stage, and the ascension of large realms, such as the Great Perfection of Qi refining entering the early stage of foundation building, and the barriers must be broken in order to continue to accumulate spiritual qi flow and be promoted.
Under normal circumstances, after stabilizing the realm, the amount of spiritual qi flow of the previous level of cultivation would be drastically reduced by at least three times, but correspondingly, the power of the cultivator to cast the same spell would be increased by at least three times.
In other words, every time a cultivation level is raised, if it is a small realm, that is, a three-level cultivation, the amount of spiritual qi absorbed and refined will increase by at least twenty-seven times, and if it is a large realm, it will be calculated by at least a hundred times.
The more excellent the spiritual root attributes, the higher the increase multiplier, and correspondingly, the total amount of mana and its purity of the monk are also increased exponentially.
Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, under normal circumstances, unless it is the qualification or potential of a dual-attribute spiritual root or above, it is impossible to skip the challenge.
The reason why monks with dual-attribute spiritual roots and above qualifications were able to leapfrog the challenge was because from the beginning of their cultivation, the spiritual qi they absorbed and refined was much larger than that of ordinary three-level spiritual root cultivators, and naturally the more mana they accumulated in each realm.
With this continuous accumulation, combined with the exercises, understanding, weapons and other factors, it is necessary to develop the strength to challenge the next level.
Similarly, under normal circumstances, the mana of a monk of the later level of cultivation is often at least twice as strong and pure as that of a monk of the previous level.
Taking the Qi Refining Period as an example, under the same cultivation conditions, the mana strength of a third-layer cultivator in the Qi Refining Period should be at least equivalent to the mana strength of three second-layer Qi refining monks, that is, ideally, they can fight against at least three second-layer Qi refining monks without being defeated.
If it is a difference in the great realm, it is completely different, for example, a monk in the early stage of foundation building, even if he has just entered the first level of foundation building, when facing a monk of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, one person can fall to the ground and slaughter a hundred people.
Unless the number of opponents exceeds 100, or there are well-trained people who know the formation, within 100 people, all the early stage monks can win it.
Of course, the actual battles are often brutal, and there are many factors that affect victory or defeat, but on the whole, it is basically no problem for the monks of the latter level of cultivation to be able to fight against ten monks of the previous level of cultivation.
If it is separated from the Great Realm, such as the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in the early stage of foundation building, it will be at least a ratio of one to thirty, and so on.
It is precisely because of such a huge disparity in combat power between the various realms that the level of the Immortal Cultivation Realm with strong barriers has been created.
It should be noted that this comparison of combat power is only for ordinary three-spirit root monks, that is, for those who are both fighting against three-attribute spiritual roots and worse spiritual roots, if the spiritual root attributes are more excellent, this proportion will be magnified.
