Chapter 10: The Spiritual Root

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to learn the words of this world, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to read them. ”

Tang Mian picked up a page between his fingers, and recalled in his mind the scene when No. 8 taught him to read and write on the Chase Shop. Immediately, he shook his head and concentrated on studying this immortal family technique called "Lei Yan Jue".

This "Lei Yan Jue - Detailed Explanation of the Twelve Layers of the Qi Refining Period" is really worthy of the name, and the beginning is to teach basic issues such as spiritual roots, heaven and earth aura, like an encyclopedia for the introduction to cultivation.

The slaves such as No. 8 were all mortals, and their understanding of cultivators was limited to hearsay, and Tang Mian had limited information from them, so he took the basic part of the opening chapter very seriously.

The book says that the spiritual root is the medium through which the monks incorporate the aura of heaven and earth into the body and transform it into mana, and it is an invisible thing that exists in the human body. Almost all of the descendants of cultivators have a spiritual root, and I am afraid that it is difficult to pick one among mortals, and even if there is, the quality of the spiritual root will not be much better.

Spiritual roots have quality, and the better the quality of the spiritual root, the faster it can absorb and transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even when breaking through the realm, it can have a little more chance than others, which is the so-called talent.

Spiritual roots also have attributes, but most people's spiritual roots are non-attribute spiritual roots, and their sensitivity to various spells of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth is almost the same.

"One in a thousand, and I don't know if it's good or bad. ”

Tang Mian frowned, he was quite skeptical that he had such good luck.

Reading down, Tang Mian saw more about Linggen. It turns out that in addition to the innate spiritual root mentioned above, there is also a special acquired spiritual root, which is strictly speaking a feasible way for mortals to become cultivators.

"A very small number of heaven and earth elixirs can change their physique, so that mortals have an acquired spiritual root, and then they can practice, and the spiritual root obtained in this way is likely to have an attribute spiritual root. ”

Tang Mian read these words almost word by word, and he didn't dare to omit them at all.

"Will the spirit fruit I take have this effect?"

He recalled the scene of taking the spirit fruit, and he was still deeply impressed by the burning sensation of the meridians and limbs at that time.

Tang Mian understood that no matter how much nervousness, doubt, and hesitation these emotions were, it was useless, so he simply put aside all his irritability, and directly opened the "Lei Yan Jue" Qi refining first-layer exercises, and cultivated step by step.

"According to this exercise, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is communicated, and if there is a reaction, it means that you have a spiritual root. ”

Tang Mian kept the Fa decision in mind, and then sat cross-legged on the wooden bed in the guest room according to the instructions of the exercises.

After throwing away the distracting thoughts, Tang Mian silently recited the Fa decision, and after some adjustments to his body posture and breathing, he finally met the requirements of the exercises.

His eyes were half-closed, Tang Mian was completely calm, his hands slowly pinched the Fa Jue, and gradually, his heartbeat, breathing, pulse, and blood flow became clearer and clearer in his perception.

At this time, the spirit fruit energy that was originally left in the limbs seemed to be awakened, and it entered the meridians one after another as if it had been guided by some kind of guidance, and began to continue to swim in the meridians until it entered various acupoints.

As Tang Mian continued to pinch the Dharma, the energy in the acupuncture suddenly turned into an invisible azure flame, and it actually burned.

The energy was quickly burned out in various acupuncture points, and at this point, there seemed to be no residual energy of the spirit fruit in Tang Mian's body.

With the disappearance of the spirit fruit energy, what followed was an invisible warm current that made Tang Mian particularly kind, this warm current under the control of the law was slowly running along with the meridians, and gradually gathered in the dantian after one week after another, forming a small whirlpool.

"This is mana! The spiritual fruit that remains in my body is the aura of heaven and earth!"

Tang Mian opened his eyes suddenly, and his face showed a look of sudden realization.

The mana vortex continued to rotate, forming a wonderful suction force in Tang Mian's dantian, and as Tang Mian changed his law, he gradually felt a trace of air flow around him submerge into his body.

"These air currents are the same as the spirit fruit energy nature, they are heaven and earth spiritual energy, so I do have a spiritual root!"

Thinking that he would be able to fly in the future and learn all kinds of immortal spells, Tang Mian smirked, and then thought that he even had the opportunity to become an immortal, he jumped up directly from the bed, and his joy was indescribable.

Next, Tang Mian began to greedily absorb the aura, and passed it on into his own mana by running the burning method of the Lei Yan Jue.

More than ten days have passed, except for the usual shopkeeper to send some food into the house, Tang Mian has not had any communication with the outside world, and he has put all his energy on cultivation.

Tang Mian spent ten days cultivating the first layer of Lei Yanjue and became a first-level Qi refining cultivator, but when he was about to attack the second layer of Qi refining, he found that his cultivation speed had slowed down a lot.

"At this rate, I'm afraid it will take several months to break through to the second layer. ”

Tang Mian felt a little bitter in his heart, if he really wanted to go on like this, I am afraid that he would not have the opportunity to impact the foundation building period in his lifetime. He also understood the reason for his cultivation speed, normal cultivators start cultivating at a young age, and he didn't start cultivating until he was twenty years old, of course, there may be a deeper reason: I'm afraid that the quality of his spiritual root is not very good.

"Ning Ning's little beauty can become a foundation building period monk at such a young age, and I am afraid it is also a rare genius. ”

Tang Mian couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but he wasn't too disappointed, he was already quite satisfied with being able to cultivate.

The cultivation speed slowed down, and Tang Mian had no other way, so after practicing, he picked up another book called "Elementary Spells".

When he flipped through this book, he was even more depressed, it turned out that there were very few spells that could be learned on the first level of Qi refining, and spells such as "Fireball Technique", "Ice Pick Technique", and "Earth Wall Technique" required at least three layers to practice, and more advanced spells like "Flying Technique" required more than six layers of cultivation to be barely qualified.

Faced with such a reality, Tang Mian couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed:

"Could it be that I have to take the pill from the Qi refining period?"
