Chapter 9 Spiritual Roots, Bottlenecks

Especially that set of "soft water tricks", if you let a monk with a water attribute spiritual root cultivate, not only will it greatly increase the cultivation speed, but also can cast some incredible magic spells.

Hao Feng was fascinated by it, and he couldn't wait to try it immediately.

But when he carefully analyzed the movement techniques of each set of exercises, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and was disappointed. He was proud of it, and the nine internal cultivation meridians that he had opened up with great hardship had actually become the leeches of all the immortal cultivation methods.

The other sets of immortal cultivation techniques left by the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" have their own merits, and Hao Feng can't tell which is better or worse. However, no matter how ever-changing the exercise routes of these sets of exercises are cultivated, without exception, they are all circulating on the primitive meridians in the human body.

However, there were other eight meridians in his body. Even if only the original main meridian is run, God knows if the other eight meridians will have any effect on the exercises?

What's more, even if there is no impact, the rest of the meridian channels are also opened up by him through great difficulty. Among them, the hardships are not enough and outsiders, Hao Feng is really unwilling to let it slowly wither and disappear!

After thinking about it, he finally decided to cultivate the "Nine Yuan Holy Decision"!

As for the lack of follow-up exercises after the "Jindan" period, Hao Feng didn't even think about it. I'm not even a rookie in the Qi refining period, and I think those are too far away.

"The key is whether you have a spiritual root?" Hao Feng really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

In the past ten days, Hao Feng has carefully read the three books of the ancient book of animal skins, the basic exercises for cultivating immortals, and the introduction to the cultivation of immortals. I also have a basic understanding of the immortal cultivation world.

Immortal cultivators are also known as cultivators.

The world they live in is beyond the reach of mortals. What is pursued is no longer the hegemony of the world, glory and wealth. It is a group of people who pursue the way of heaven and seek eternal existence.

Although they are not out of the category of "people".

But generally speaking, immortal cultivators rarely appear among the secular people. Basically, they are hidden in the mountains and forests, hiding in the wilderness, and cultivating hard, in order to break through the exercises and increase their longevity. Idle and secular people are rare to see in their lives.

There are many sects in the world of cultivating immortals, and there are many methods of cultivating immortals, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, which cannot be enumerated.

However, all the exercises, without exception, are divided into five major realms, as far as is known, namely: "Qi refining period, foundation building period, Jindan period, Yuan infant stage, and God Transformation period." ”

Each major realm is divided into ten layers of small realms, with the first, second, and third layers being the early stage of the exercises, the fourth, fifth, and sixth being the middle stage, and the seven, eight, and nine being the later stage. The tenth layer is the Great Perfection of the exercises, which is actually the peak state of the ninth layer, which proves that you have the qualifications to break through to the next great realm.

A breakthrough in the great realm of the exercises will bring earth-shaking changes to the monks. This change is not only an increase in magical powers, but also more importantly, it brings more longevity to the monks. This is the ultimate goal of all monks.

Qi refining period cultivators, although they can also cast some magical spells that make mortals awe and envy, are already unsurpassable existences in their eyes. But it is at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world, and it is also the existence with the largest number of people, and it is basically still in the category of mortals.

They also need to eat, drink, and sleep, and they are also indispensable for the survival of mortals. But the most important thing is that their longevity is not much different from that of mortals, even if they are good at health preservation and live to be one hundred and twenty or thirty years old, it will be the end.

However, if you are lucky enough to enter the foundation building period, it will soar to the sky, officially enter the threshold of the immortal cultivation world, and become the real darling of God. Not only has the strength of the divine power increased tremendously, but it can easily crush and kill all Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

Moreover, eating morning dew in the morning, inhaling the colorful glow in the evening, and breathing in the aura of heaven and earth can meet all the needs of the body. Everything that is mortal has become dispensable for them, and it is no longer a necessity.

The most enviable thing is that their longevity has also skyrocketed, at least they can live to be two hundred and forty or fifty years old, even if they live to be three hundred years old, it is not a new thing.

If you go one step further and break through to the Jindan period, it is easy to live to be more than 500 years old, and it is not impossible to hope for 600 years old. The predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao" can reach the age of 600.

In case the ancestor manifests himself, he has taken shit luck and breaks through to the Yuan Infant Stage, it will be even more amazing. Not only does he have the great magic power of flying to the sky and the earth, turning over the river and the sea, Shou Yuan can also be called a brother and sister to the old turtle, and live to be 12,300 years old. It is a real land fairy.

As for the incarnation period, the book is vague and vague, and only the words "unimaginable" are used as annotations. Regardless of the magic powers, it is certain that they have a long lifespan, and I am afraid that the ancestors of the old turtle will also have to bow down, and they are ashamed!

The extreme temptation of the surge in longevity spurred all the monks to endure all kinds of hardships, abandon the temptations of the world, and live in the deep mountains and wilderness. Cultivating hard in loneliness and boredom, just to get more longevity, in order to one day be able to break free from the shackles of longevity and travel freely between heaven and earth.

When on earth, Taoists also had the pursuit: "Life is happiness, immortality is great happiness, and eternal life is bliss!" Ordinary people also regard health and longevity as their deepest blessings and expectations.

It can be seen that no matter where you are, as long as it is the existence of life, you will have infinite attachment to life. Immortality is the deepest wish of every living being.

Immortal cultivators may not be able to live forever, but they have undoubtedly obtained a key to explore the path of immortality, which is the hope of all people. Everyone hopes that they will be lucky enough to become an immortal cultivator.

But there is not one who can enter the ranks of immortal cultivators, and it is extremely rare!

Because if you want to cultivate the Immortal Cultivation Method, you must have a "spiritual root" in your body, and ordinary people can't practice at all.

"Spiritual root", invisible, intangible, what kind of existence it is, from ancient times to the present, without exception, no one can understand, but it does exist.

It can only be said that it is a certain physique, or qualification. This point is basically the same as the answer Hao Feng got when he asked Master Ling Xudao what kind of physique he needed to cultivate the "Nine Turns Mixed Yuan Technique", they could only be sensed, but they couldn't figure it out.

Whether there is some kind of connection between the two is not yet certain.

However, the division of "spiritual roots" in this world is very detailed.

"Spiritual roots" are roughly divided into: "five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

According to the different specific qualifications of each person, it is subdivided into: "single spirit root, such as gold spirit root, water spirit root, double spirit root, such as gold and wood double spirit root, or water and soil double spirit root, three spirit root, such as gold and wood water three spirit root, water, wood and fire three spirit roots, etc., and so on." ”

Of course, there are also four spiritual roots with four attributes, and five spiritual roots with all five attributes.

Although the quality of a monk's spiritual root is not absolute, it undoubtedly determines his future achievements to a large extent.

The more spiritual root attributes, the worse a person's immortal cultivation qualifications are. For example, the five spirit roots with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are also called "waste spirit roots" in the world of cultivating immortals.

The best qualification is the single-attribute spiritual root, which is also called the "Heavenly Spiritual Root" in the immortal cultivation world. It means that it is the meaning of "the darling of heaven", and it is a veritable pride of heaven in the world of cultivating immortals!

The cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Root cultivated exercises that matched their own attributes, not only did the cultivation speed be beyond the reach of other cultivators! Moreover, no matter what kind of attribute the Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators cultivated, there was no "bottleneck" in the exercises before the Jindan period. As long as the mana accumulation is sufficient, you can naturally enter the next level of the exercise realm. ”

That is to say: "As long as the monks of this spiritual root are willing to work hard and do not die halfway, they can basically enter the "Golden Pill" stage with absolute certainty. ”

The speed of cultivation may be that most monks are just envious. After all, diligence can make up for clumsiness, and this sentence is also applicable in the world of cultivating immortals, as long as you catch up, it is possible to catch up with the other party's footsteps.

However, there was no bottleneck in the practice before the Yuan Infant Period, and this kind of advantage against the heavens absolutely made all the monks crazy, envious, jealous and hateful!

The bottleneck of the exercises, Hao Feng is naturally very clear. Seeing this, I also secretly smacked my tongue, and my heart was hot.

The "Mixed Yuan Nine Reversal" he cultivated was only an internal strength method, but the bottleneck of the eighth layer alone took three or four years. If it weren't for the "Devil Gobi" experience, the opportunity triggered by chance, if you want to break through to the ninth layer, I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey.

Even if you can't break through in a lifetime, it's normal. In the ancient martial arts of the earth, among the cultivators of the past dynasties, those who could use this technique and finally cultivate to the ninth layer realm were only three or four out of ten.

Most cultivators basically stay at around the seventh or eighth layer in their lives.

Those who can cultivate the "Nine Transformations Mixed Yuan Jue" to the peak state of the ninth layer are even more rare, and among the people Hao Feng knows, there is only one master, Ling Xudao.

Others, because of all kinds of bottleneck leeches, have never been able to reach the peak realm for life.

Compared with the bottleneck of the internal strength and heart method, the cultivation of immortals is definitely surpassed, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Mana and supernatural powers accumulate day by day, and there is no way to figure out the bottleneck of the exercises, this is a consensus. Especially when breaking through the great realm, the leech of the bottleneck of the exercise makes all the monks think about it, like a moat!

According to the introduction of the predecessors of "Mo Chongxiao", among the hundred other spiritual root Qi refining stage cultivators, as long as their qualifications are not bad, there is no shortage of resources, and they cultivate diligently, if they have some opportunities, they can basically cultivate to the late stage of the Qi refining period, and those who have cultivated to the peak of the Qi refining period can also account for three or four out of ten.

When you reach the peak realm of the Qi refining period, those who can finally break through the bottleneck of the great realm of the exercises and enter the "foundation building" period are only two or three out of ten at most.

The probability of this breakthrough is already speechless, but compared to the difficulty from the foundation building period to the Jindan period, it is a big deal, and it is not the same.

According to the records in the book, two or three of the thousand monks who have cultivated to the peak of the foundation building period can enter the Jindan stage, which can be regarded as burning high incense. The rest are trapped in the bottleneck for life, slowly running out of life.

It's definitely a chance to vomit blood.

As for the "Yuan Infant" period, or even the "Avatar" period, hehe, 99% of the monks can only dream and think.

The monks of the Jindan period are already absolute predecessors in the world of cultivating immortals, with profound Taoism and respected status!

A monk with a heavenly spirit root, but can ignore many practice bottlenecks and directly get the golden key to enter the Jindan period, I have to say that he is blessed with a unique nature, and the creation is against the sky!

However, the chance of a person who is in the Heavenly Spirit Root is extremely rare, and it can be described as a rare occurrence in a hundred years!

Once there is a Heavenly Spirit Root in that place, it will definitely cause a sensation or even turmoil in the local immortal cultivation world. After all, a master of the Jindan period who can be predicted, that sect doesn't want to be included in the door wall!

Of course, in addition to the Heavenly Spirit Root, there is also a kind of attribute Spirit Root, which is also famous in the immortal cultivation world and is highly sought after!

That is the "Alien Root".

The so-called alien spirit root is that after several spirit roots mutate and fuse together, another unique spirit root is produced. For example, Wind Spirit Root, Thunder Spirit Root, Ice Spirit Root, and so on.

Although the spiritual root qualification of this attribute does not have the anti-heaven creation that is exempted from the bottleneck of the exercise, the cultivation speed is not much better than that of the Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator, and it will produce some unique exercise supernatural powers.

The monk who is in this spiritual root is also the object of the various sects vying to collect the door wall. The predecessor of "Mo Chongxiao" belongs to the "Lei Linggen" after the mutation of Jinmu's dual attributes.

In general: "Immortal cultivators are a group of special people who go against the sky and win longevity with the sky. This is the same as Hao Feng's initial perception.

Hao Feng is not particularly keen on immortality at the moment. He just wanted to find his brothers and sisters and find a way to go home together.
