Chapter 14 Attributes and Grades
On the first day, Tianyi Zhenren started teaching early in the morning, and taught from shortly after the rooster crowed three times until the third pole of the day.
He Lingfeng was very enthusiastic and listened to it with relish, and he didn't forget to review it after he went back, eagerly looking forward to the coming of the second day.
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, He Lingfeng got up early, got dressed, finished washing, and hurriedly ate some snacks and other things sent by a disciple of the First Sect of the Heavens. When the rooster crowed for the third time, He Lingfeng couldn't wait to run to Tianyi's real residence.
When he arrived outside the house, He Lingfeng was worried that the time had not yet come, so he couldn't help but linger outside the door for fear of disturbing the real person's retreat.
Tianyi Zhenren was meditating on the futon, closing his eyes and recuperating, listening to the movement outside the house, knowing that He Lingfeng had arrived, and he appreciated the diligence he showed in his heart.
He smiled slightly, opened his eyes, and there seemed to be many celestial phenomena such as the sun, moon and stars flashing in his eyes.
"Come in," Tianyi Zhenren said lightly without hurrying.
When He Lingfeng heard this, he hurriedly pushed the door gently, and after giving a salute to Tianyi Zhenren, Wu Zi sat down on the futon directly opposite, looking at Tianyi Zhenren with anticipation.
Tianyi Zhenren smiled, stroked his long beard, and spoke directly.
"Yesterday, we finished talking about the magic weapon, and today I will tell you about the spiritual root attributes.
As I said last time, cultivation is to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and store and run it with exercises. The aura of heaven and earth has various attributes, and what attribute the spiritual root is, it is affinity with the aura of heaven and earth with the corresponding attributes.
If a person with an innate spiritual root wants to cultivate, he first needs to identify his own spiritual root grade and attributes, and those who have an acquired spiritual root are determined according to the attribute level of the substitute spiritual root body. Then, you can choose the right thing to open according to your attributes.
After the enlightenment is completed, you can choose the exercises corresponding to the spiritual root attribute to cultivate.
Generally speaking, the spiritual root attribute determines the attribute of the practice to be cultivated, and the spiritual root level determines the affinity for a certain attribute aura, the higher the affinity, the higher the rate of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth when cultivating. In other words, the grade determines the level of a cultivator's qualifications.
And the spiritual root grade, like the division of the magic weapon grade, is also divided into heaven and earth Xuanhuang and one to nine grades.
Let's talk about the spiritual root attribute first, which is mainly divided into five elements, yin and yang, and no attribute. In addition, there are rare attributes derived and mutated by the fusion of the five elements and yin and yang. Such as wind, thunder, ice, etc.
The so-called five elements refer to the five basic elements that make up all things: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There is a principle of mutual growth between the five elements, and there is also a principle of mutual restraint.
Aquatic wood begets fire, fire begets earth, earth begets gold, and gold begets water, which is called mutual birth.
Water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, and soil overcomes water, which is called mutual restraint.
Yin and yang, the two qi of the beginning of heaven and earth.
Yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, and everything starts over and over again. It is divided into five elements, evolves gossip, and changes endlessly.
These two are both opposites and unified, the principle of yin and yang exists between all things and all things, and all things are negative yin and embrace yang.
The five elements of yin and yang, combined with each other, are the foundation of the avenue of heaven and earth. ”
Tianyi Zhenren said this, stopped, but saw that with a wave of his right hand, He Lingfeng sat up cross-legged, and out of thin air there was an extra book with a yellowed skin that looked extremely old, and he looked down, but it was a "Commentary on the Tianhua Dao Sutra".
Tianyi Zhenren had a serious face and said solemnly, "Ling Feng, do you know that ordinary people cultivate the Tao, as long as they know their own spiritual root attributes and have corresponding exercises, they will bury their heads in penance, blindly cultivate and strengthen their spiritual energy, and do not pay attention to integrating the principles in it. For this kind of person, the Divine Soul Realm is basically the end.
However, the latter realm is confused and difficult to cross for the rest of his life. Do you know why? The reason for this is that we don't want to understand it. After the divine soul, it is the realm of the earth, and from then on, each advance must have enough Dao comprehension accumulation. The perception of the avenue must be deduced on the basis of theory.
I gave you this book because I didn't want you to go astray, so that you could lay your foundation early. ”
He Lingfeng's gratitude was overflowing, and after thanking him, he took the book in his hand, and before he could read it, Tianyi Zhenren said: "You take it with you, and then read it carefully after you go back, and if you are confused, you can come to me in private." The detailed discussion of the five elements of yin and yang is available in the book, so I will not repeat it. Remember, don't let the second person know. ”
He Lingfeng hurriedly nodded heavily, temporarily hid it in the pocket of his underwear, and then continued to listen attentively to Tianyi's lecture.
“...... The human body is also composed of many elements of the five elements, but it has become one and does not distinguish from each other. As I briefly told you yesterday, the innate spiritual root is born from the qi of heaven and earth, and is formed in the body during the fetal period.
However, if we talk about it in detail, the qi of heaven and earth that forms the spiritual root is very encompassing, and the qi of the five elements of yin and yang is the source and root of it. The spiritual root attribute is manifested by the more or purer of them, so there are also single-attribute spiritual roots and multi-attribute spiritual roots.
A single attribute spiritual root is one of the attributes that accounts for a large number of attributes and is relatively pure and single. Among them, those with yin attributes are called yin spirits, and so on, there are various types of spirits such as yang spirits, fire spirits, and wood spirits.
The multi-attribute spiritual root follows the principle of yin and yang and the five elements of shengke, and manifests the two attributes that are not mutually reinforcing.
Such as gold and water or gold and earth, this is called a dual-attribute spiritual root. Because the yin and yang attributes are easy to restrain each other, but it is difficult to give birth to each other, the yin and yang dual attribute spiritual roots are extremely rare in the world.
And there are also dual-attribute spirit roots in mutant spirit roots, and there are two main types of such spirit roots.
One of them is the combination of one of the five elements of yin and yang and mutated attributes, such as thunder and wood, thunder and fire, etc. The second is a combination of two mutated attributes, such as wind and thunder can coexist, so there is a wind and thunder dual-attribute spiritual root. However, this kind of mutated dual-attribute spiritual root is even rarer than it.
On top of the dual-attribute spiritual root, one of the yin, yang, and mutated attributes is added, which is the three-attribute spiritual root. For example, the three spiritual roots of fire, wood, and yang, or the three spiritual roots of gold, water, and thunder, and so on, are even rarer.
As for the existence of the four attribute spiritual roots, the cultivation realm has its own opinions, arguing endlessly, but there is no record.
And the so-called non-attribute spiritual root is actually an outlier in the multi-attribute spiritual root, and the blame is that it is a person who has all five elements and coexists in balance. There is no attribute spiritual root, and the proportion of various single attribute qi in it is extremely close, and all of them are not pure enough, so none of them can be prominently manifested. Therefore, it is called the attributeless spiritual root.
However, those who have an innate spiritual root, generally their spiritual root attribute is mostly non-attribute, which is also the most common attribute, and six or seven out of ten cultivators are this attribute.
The single attribute and multi-attribute spiritual roots of the five elements and yin and yang add up to about 20 percent, of which the five elements are the majority, close to 20 percent, and yin and yang only occupy about half of it. Less than half of the remaining ones are derived and mutated from special attributes, which are rarely seen in the world. ”
When Tianyi Zhenren talked about this, he paused slightly, took a sip of Yunshan Mist Spirit Tea, and continued to speak.
"As mentioned earlier, the spiritual root level determines the affinity for a certain attribute aura. The grade is determined by the specific value and overall situation of the proportion and purity of each manifestation attribute in the spirit root.
Single-attribute spirit roots, and yin spirit bodies, fire spirit bodies, etc., because they are simply one attribute prominent manifestation, the proportion and refinement purity are better, so generally speaking, the grade is also good.
Dual-attribute and multi-attribute spiritual roots are affected by two or even above two manifestation attributes, and each manifestation attribute will be uneven in proportion and refinement purity, so the grade is affected by it, and the level is also different.
Finally, let's talk about the non-attribute spiritual root, because its five elements are balanced, it has no strengths, and it is not pure enough, so the grade is generally ......."
After saying these words, Tianyi Zhenren suddenly smiled mysteriously and asked He Lingfeng:
"Do you know your fairy jade body, where does the name come from?"
