Chapter 3: The Seven Spiritual Roots and the Steady Spiritual Mantra
Hu Jiu curled up on the ground in pain! his fists clenched! he kept writhing and struggling back and forth, his fingernails were embedded in the flesh of his palms, full of blood, but he was still biting his lip!
After a period of intense pain, a wave of warmth hit him, like a fresh breeze blowing on his face in spring, with the vitality of all things, constantly repairing his limbs and bones.
Hu Jiu felt as if he had returned to the arms of his mother who had fantasized countless times, it was so warm, so intoxicating, and he wanted to snuggle up and sleep. It's just that in the corner of his eye, a line of tears quietly flowed.
"Such a drastic medicinal effect, at his age, he can actually hold it!It seems that this stupid boy's patience is very good!" Yu Lao said secretly in admiration.
Suddenly, Hu Jiu's abdomen, who was lying on the edge of the cave, began to glow!
The seven colors of gold, green, blue, red, yellow, cyan, and purple flashed, and the breath of the spiritual root continued to circulate back and forth from the lower grade, the middle grade, the upper grade, to the earth spirit root, and the heavenly spirit root, and finally turned into a seven-colored spirit root, and the brilliance slowly disappeared.
"Seven Spirit Roots!! this kid is actually the legendary Cultivation Waste Spirit Root--- Seven Spirit Roots!" Yu Lao looked up and sighed, his face full of frustration and disappointment.
If the spiritual root is the threshold of cultivation, then the level of the spiritual root is related to the speed of cultivation in the later stage, and the spiritual root of the practitioner is divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder. Seven spiritual roots. Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the spiritual roots of the five elements, and wind and thunder are the spiritual roots of alien spirits.
When the spiritual root has enough innate energy and mixed energy, the spiritual root can be formed, and it can affect and perceive things in the outside world through the spiritual energy, which is the fundamental difference between those who have spiritual roots and ordinary mortals, so they are called cultivators.
Therefore, the fewer spiritual roots, the less constraints on the perception and manipulation of external things, the higher the efficiency of absorbing pure spiritual energy, the faster the speed of cultivation will be, and the less likely it is to encounter bottlenecks in cultivation.
Among them, the cultivators of the single spirit root and the double spirit root are the most outstanding.
The single spirit root is known as the heavenly spirit root, which can perceive the pure heaven and earth vitality, and the cultivation qualification is against the sky, and it can quickly absorb the heaven and earth aura to improve cultivation without too many cultivation resources.
The dual spiritual root is called the earth spiritual root, which can perceive the vitality of heaven and earth after being differentiated by the dual-attribute spiritual root, and the cultivation qualification is slightly inferior to that of the single spiritual root, but the cultivation speed is also not to be underestimated, and many powerful cultivators in the heavens and ten thousand worlds are dual-attribute spiritual roots.
Three or more spiritual roots are called pseudo-spiritual roots, and the spiritual root attributes are chaotic and insufficient, and the cultivation speed is very slow, but there are also people with great perseverance or cultivators who have the opportunity to defy the sky, and become strong and powerful with pseudo-spiritual root qualifications.
The less spiritual roots, the stronger the perception of heaven and earth, and the faster the cultivation will naturally improve, but there will usually be fewer means of exercises.
The more spiritual roots, the more chaotic the perception of heaven and earth, and the more difficult it is to improve cultivation, but the means of practice are usually varied, and the cultivation is more concise and solid.
Therefore, when cultivators of the same level compete, usually the cultivators with more spiritual roots will be slightly stronger.
The Seven Spirit Roots have only appeared in legends, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and progress will be very slow.
Even if there is a large supply of cultivation resources, the improvement of cultivation is extremely slow, and it is not much better than that of mortal martial artists, and it is never heard of in history of a strong man with seven spirit roots.
Yu Lao's expression changed from the excitement and expectation at the beginning, to the current face like ashes, and he sighed with a desperate face:
"Is the deity really gambling? or is he deceiving himself!?"
However, he quickly calmed down, as if he had expected this scene, but he was not willing to compromise with reality.
When Hu Jiu woke up again, he immediately found that there seemed to be something unknown in his lower abdomen, and he felt light and comfortable all over, but there was some more sticky and fishy black liquid on his abdomen.
Hu Jiu slowly stood up, looked at his hands in surprise, the wounds on his hands disappeared completely, and the hands that were still bleeding just now were all healed in an instant, which was just like a myth!
He looked around and it seemed that everything was different, that everything had changed dramatically!
The sound, the color, and the perspective were all enhanced, and he could see all the surroundings and sounds clearly, which was ten times more deaf and clear!
It seems that even the speed of thinking has been smoothed up too much, and many questions that he couldn't figure out before can now be figured out with a single thought, and he is even more curious about the world of cultivators!
At this time, Yu Lao said lightly to Hu Jiu in a low voice:
"Boy, your perseverance is very good, you can persevere in such pain! But the deity has just run out of spiritual strength! The excess innate qi in your body is only temporarily stable. ”
"If within twenty years, you have not cultivated to the foundation building stage, consumed these innate qi and stabilized the physical body and spiritual root realm, then you will suffer from the backlash of the vitality and the spiritual root body will collapse and die inch by inch!
Hu Jiu's heart trembled, his immature face suddenly became very firm, he clenched his fists tightly, and said secretly: "Twenty years? It should be enough! I will definitely be able to find out the reason for my mother's death and find my father!"
Hu Jiu nodded, then raised his head calmly and said, "Old Yu, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and try my best to fulfill our oath!"
"Boy, you can't do your best, but you must do your best!Otherwise, you will die in twenty years, and the deity will be trapped here forever!" said Yu Lao's voice with a very serious expression.
As soon as he finished saying this, Yu Lao thought about it, if he wanted to cultivate to the foundation building period in this low-level interface where the aura was thin, let alone twenty years, two hundred years would probably be difficult to do, and his gamble would not be lost again!
If you want to build a foundation in just twenty years at the advanced cultivation interface with sufficient aura, then you have to be barely able to do it by the peerless genius of the super sect, and under normal circumstances, if you cultivate to the foundation building period within a hundred years, you can be regarded as a genius!
But now he seems to have no other way but to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, let alone a blow to Hu Jiu's confidence, so he is ready to start seriously tutoring Hu Jiu's practice.
Concerning his own freedom, Yu Lao couldn't hide it anymore, he closed his eyes tightly, and then said to Hu Jiu encouragingly:
"Quietly cultivate the spiritual root qi and nourish the spirit, and Haihan spring cultivates the truth. Ye Tao's temperament is neutral, and his temperament is heavy, and he is jealous and angry. ”
"You also remember these twenty-eight characters of the Steady Spirit Mantra, this is a Dao-level method that countless sects compete for, after comprehending, it can firmly strengthen your spiritual root attributes, making your perception of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force more keen, thereby speeding up your cultivation speed. ”
After hearing this, Hu Jiu sat cross-legged, and the twenty-eight words of the steady mantra echoed in his mind repeatedly, constantly thinking about and understanding the true meaning.
Hu Jiu, who meditated for three days and three nights in a row, constantly understood these 28 words in his heart.
It was as if he had been enlightened and enlightened, and he felt like he had become a myriad of tiny molecules, integrated into everything in the world.
Suddenly, he said with a heartfelt voice:
"The spiritual root needs to be recuperated, so that the spirit can be full, set single-mindedness, concentration, will, seek inward, nourish the body and mind, change the amount of qi, in order to improve. ”
"Collect the scattered qi around the body and return it to the dantian, refine and refine the qi, practice the qi and turn the gods, and refine the gods to return to the void. ”
"When the spirit is full, the temperament is soft and leisurely, and it is tolerant and understanding. Cultivate the qi of neutrality, seek internal defense, practice mindfulness, and the physical and mental qi will be orderly and pure. ”
"When the qi is harmonious, it can open the heart and connect with the avenue of heaven and earth, and its energy is endless and endless. ”
Yu Lao on the side listened to what Hu Jiu said, his eyes widened, and he said in a sluggish exclamation: "Is this stupid boy the reincarnation of a great power!? In three days, he will resonate with the Great Dao, enlighten the twenty-eight-character mantra, and pass through the stage of clearing the void and getting rid of the realm, and go straight to the original meaning of the Dao." ”
At the interface of advanced practice, the levels of human comprehension of the Tao are divided into: "the realm of clearing the void and the realm of liberation." ”
It refers to the enlightenment of the divine consciousness as the realm of pure void, and the rebirth of the physical body as the realm of transcendence, and if a practitioner wants to comprehend the realm of pure emptiness, he needs to practice for countless years and have a great opportunity, not to mention the comprehension of the realm of transcendence, so the physical body is usually the weakness of human cultivators.
"No, it's impossible, if it's a powerful reincarnation, there will definitely be a reincarnation brand in the body, the deity can't be wrong, if it weren't for the deity's natural ability to see through the reincarnation brand, it wouldn't be coaxed to such a miserable point by the old man in white when he was wandering too empty. Yu Lao shook his head and thought to himself with regret.
"Is this kid a peerless genius!?"
"But no matter how talented it is, it's a pity! The qualifications of the Seven Spirit Roots are impossible to reverse!" Yu Lao's suddenly lit up eyes dimmed again, and then he sighed in his heart.
Hu Jiu continued to comprehend this steady spirit mantra, and the more he understood, the more he continued to deeply feel, the continuous changes in his body and mind, as if he was about to merge with this heaven and earth.
Three days later, Hu Jiu, who was sitting quietly, opened his eyes slightly, and he felt the subtle changes in himself, which seemed to be no different from before, except that there were faint bursts of rainbow-colored brilliance in the dantian.
At this moment, his heart is extremely calm, as if everything in the world has nothing to do with him, but everything is secretly connected with himself.
