Chapter 13: The Secret of the Spiritual Root

Being treated so rudely, the more Yin Ning thought about it, the more inexplicable he felt, the more he thought about it, the more unreasonable he felt, Yin Ning didn't dare to speak out on Aoki Peak, and he didn't dare to attack, but after re-sitting on Lu Xingcai's "Xingyun", flying into the sky, and staying away from Aoki Peak, Yin Ning still couldn't help but ask Lu Xingcai questions.

"You're talking about the old man Lou who guarded the treasury, right? Alas! I can only blame the senior brother for forgetting and not reminding you that the old man Lou and the old man Dou have a vendetta, when the two of them were competing for the position of the head of the Aoki Merit Pavilion, in the end the old man Dou won by bribing the upper echelons, and the old man Lou has always been angry and has always hated this matter, you call the old man Dou uncle, you must have annoyed the old man Lou. ”

On the way to Kuzhu Peak, after listening to Yin Ning's narration, Lu Xingcai, who was manipulating "Xingyun" in front, said with a little apology.

"Is Old Man Lou a Zhuji monk? I can't see his breath. Yin Ning asked questions again.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Yin, the southeast region where our Kuzhu Peak is located is a remote place in the Tibetan Cuo Mountain Range, the quality of the spiritual veins is not high, it is not an ideal place for cultivation, it can break out of the encirclement, and the proportion of promotion from outer disciples to inner disciples is far less than that of other regions, and it has never been taken seriously, do you say that the sect will send a foundation building monk who is the middle force of the sect to come to a small merit pavilion in this region to garrison?"

"They are all Qi refining cultivators like you and me, the reason why you can't observe the breath of the old man Lou is because the old man must have practiced some kind of secret technique, and he covered up his breath, pretending to be profound, among the items you were assigned to the new disciples, there is a book called "Basic Spell Encyclopedia", learn the 'spiritual eye technique' inside, you can judge the monk's cultivation realm by observing the spiritual light emitted by the monk, and you will not be confused by the old man Lou's blinding method. ”

After listening to Lu Xingcai's explanation, Yin Ning's heart was a little calmer, and he no longer had a sense of awe and fear for the old man Lou who had previously felt mysterious, but was more and more curious.

"Why is it that when I first got started, the temperaments of the two old cultivators I met were so strange, and the temperaments of the other old men in the sect were also the same as Old Man Dou and Old Man Lou, which were unpredictable, unpredictable, and difficult to communicate?"

Surprisingly, this time, Senior Brother Lu Xingcai, who had been answering Yin Ning's questions briskly before, almost answered every question, but after pondering for a long time, he said leisurely: "Senior Brother Yin, don't laugh or resent those old Qi refining cultivators, maybe in another seventy or eighty years, you and I will probably be the old man Dou and Old Man Lou, treating people meanly, and bullying the new disciples to alleviate their resentment and helplessness about the failure of foundation building." After all, you, Senior Brother and I, both only have the cultivation qualification of the mid-grade Huang Linggen, although you are a corpse refiner, you will have the natal corpse refining corpse to feed you back mana in the future, and the cultivation speed may be slightly better than that of the senior brother, but the probability of building a foundation is still desperately low. ”

After listening to Lu Xingcai's words in a tone of intent and excitement, Yin Ning also fell silent and fell into deep thought.

The spiritual root is shadowless and formless, rootless and groundless, but it does exist, it is the medium of cultivation of the cultivator, and it can help the cultivator to better sense the aura of heaven and earth.

In the cultivation world, according to the strength of the spiritual root's main attribute to the aura of heaven and earth, the spiritual root is divided into four levels, heaven and earth, Xuanhuang, as well as the legendary holy spirit root and fairy spirit root, and subdivided into three grades on each level, that is, the lower grade, the middle grade and the upper grade, a total of six grades and eighteen grades, each grade of the spiritual root, the ability to sense the aura is different, the cultivation speed, and the perception when practicing magic and magic powers are also different, this is the so-called cultivation qualification.

Huang Linggen: One person was born out of ten thousand, although it is the only one in ten thousand, it looks precious and abnormal, but in the cultivation realm, the yellow-level spiritual root is a chicken-rib-like existence, and the highest high-grade Huang Linggen is also cultivated to the foundation building period at most, and it is extremely difficult to condense the golden pill.

Xuan Linggen: If the monk works hard, is determined to improve, and has enough luck, there is hope to break through the barrier and advance to the Golden Pill stage.

Earth Spirit Root: At the time of the knot, there is no bottleneck, and the top-grade earth spirit root also has no bottleneck in the advanced Yuan Infant Realm, and the person who has this spirit root is the real pride of the sky, but it is extremely rare, and only one or two can be born in a million people.

Heavenly Spirit Root: The cultivation speed is extremely fast, there was a record of those who had a Heavenly Spirit Root getting married in a hundred years, and the top-grade Heavenly Spirit Root did not have any bottlenecks when it hit the Transformation God Realm.

Holy Spirit Root: Peerless Spiritual Root, it is rumored to have a super strong sense of heaven and earth aura, can sense the purest origin aura, even if you don't practice any exercises, you can also refine the mixed heaven and earth aura into pure spiritual power, is a person who is truly born with the luck of heaven and earth, and there may be such a person born among hundreds of millions of people.

Immortal Root: Only exists in the legendary Spiritual Root, the legend can communicate with the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Immortal Qi cultivation of the Immortal Root exists, but it only exists in the legend, and there has been no person with the Immortal Spiritual Root in Wanluo Continent for at least a million years.

In the cultivation realm, people like Lu Xingcai and Yin Ning who have a middle-grade yellow root, and a person who has a lower-grade yellow spirit root, it is difficult to join a major sect like the Corpse Nightmare Sect, most of them are like ordinary mortals, they are born, old, sick and die, and live an ordinary life, a few of them become casual cultivators by chance, struggling at the bottom of the cultivation realm, and only a very few are likely to join those regular cultivation sects with Taoist inheritance.

However, for a major sect like the Corpse Nightmare Sect, the minimum standard for recruiting disciples is the top-grade Huang Linggen, because only those who have the qualifications of the top-grade Huang Linggen cultivation have a high chance of succeeding in building a foundation and have at least cultivation value.

Although Yin Ning only has the cultivation qualifications of the middle-grade Huang Linggen, he is extremely talented and meets the harsh conditions for cultivating the secret method of the Corpse Nightmare Sect "Xuanyin Corpse Control Technique", and he can become a corpse refiner in order to be lucky enough to be recruited by the Corpse Nightmare Sect.

"Senior Brother Lu Xingcai said that he only has the cultivation qualification of the mid-grade Huang Linggen like me, so how did he join the Corpse Nightmare Sect?"

Yin Ning looked at Lu Xingcai's slightly rickety back, although he had many questions in his heart, but he didn't say anything to ask, Yin Ning knew that only Senior Brother Lu Xingcai, who was a middle-grade Huang Linggen cultivator, could join the Corpse Nightmare Sect, he must have had a sad experience of hardship! It is not easy to share and discuss with outsiders.

When it came to building the foundation, the two people with inferior cultivation qualifications were both uncovered and worried, no longer speaking, and were silent all the way.

It wasn't until he flew over the green mountains and came to the top of a strange black mountain peak that Lu Xingcai regained some enthusiasm, pointed to the black mountain peak below, and began to introduce to Yin Ning: "Senior Brother Yin, this is our destination, Kuzhu Peak, before Senior Brother joined, there were a total of three hundred and fifty-eight Qi Refining Stage disciples cultivating in this spiritual land, and Senior Brother was three hundred and fifty-nine. ”

"There are only Qi Refining Cultivators, and there are no Foundation Building Cultivators?" Yin Ning asked a little stunned as he looked at the black mountain peak that seemed to have been burned by fire.

"Ha! Senior brother asked really funny, the sect stipulates that as long as the disciples in the Qi refining period succeed in building the foundation, they will automatically be promoted to the inner disciples, and they have the right to choose their own cultivation place, and people go to high places, those disciples who have successfully built the foundation, of course, they all go to the central area of the Tibetan Cuo Mountain Range, a place with abundant spiritual energy, to open up their own caves, who will stay in this remote place and continue to suffer. ”

"Oh, the foundation building monk you are talking about, there is really one person who belongs to this Bitter Bamboo Peak, that is the owner of this Bitter Bamboo Peak Spiritual Land, Master Gu, but he does not live on this Bitter Bamboo Peak all the year round, and most of the time he is in the cave mansion in the central area. ”

Lu Xingcai finally walked out of the haze in his heart and began to explain to Yin Ning diligently.

"Isn't the spiritual land used by the sect to reward those Jindan ancestors? Why is it that only Gu Shibo, who has cultivated in the foundation building period, can also get a piece of spiritual land, although it is only a ninth-level spiritual land. ”

Yin Ning looked at the towering Kuzhu Peak, which covers an extremely wide area, and thought that the elixirs and spiritual things produced on this mountain were all owned by the master alone, and his heart was salivating, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Senior brother is misremembering! The sect does not explicitly stipulate that the spiritual land must be rewarded to the Jindan Ancestor, and all those who have made great contributions to the sect or have a great role can be qualified to be given the spiritual land. ”

"Then why did Master Gu get the spiritual land? Did he make a great contribution to the sect, or did he have a huge effect on the sect?"

"It's the latter, Senior Uncle Gu, like you, is also a corpse refiner, and his natal corpse refining corpse is a one-star medicine corpse. ”

"Medicine corpse!"

"As for the medicine corpse, Senior Brother Yin, as a corpse refiner, shouldn't have no impression of this kind of corpse refining that is extremely rare among the rare auxiliary corpse refiners!"

"No wonder! No wonder! With a medicine corpse, a corpse that can have a keen perception of elixir, can search for elixir, and knows how to cultivate elixir, Gu Shibo is indeed a person who is extremely important to the sect, no wonder he is still a foundation building monk, and he was rewarded with a ninth-level spiritual land by the sect. ”

Yin Ning nodded yes again and again, and after learning that Uncle Gu actually had an extremely rare medicinal corpse, he no longer had any doubts in his heart that Master Gu, who he had never met, could be given spiritual land, and he only had endless envy.

At this time, Yin Ning thought of Zhong Yao, who had the two-moon array corpse, and then thought of his chicken-like bronze armor after refining the corpse, and a burst of inexplicable irritability surged in his heart.

At this time, Lu Xingcai, who was already preparing to land, did not notice Yin Ning's sudden silence, he carefully drove the "Xingyun" and landed on a bluestone platform on the shady side of Kuzhu Peak.

Jumping off the "Xingyun", Yin Ning, who was down-to-earth, looked at the black land all around, and the thick black bamboo growing densely on the black soil, and asked Lu Xingcai with some confusion: "This place doesn't look like a spiritual land." ”

At this time, Lu Xingcai, who had already put away the "Xingyun", looked at Yin Ning's blank look and looked around, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yin, just like the Tibetan Cuo Mountain Range, there are all levels of spiritual land, in this Kuzhu Peak spiritual land, the spiritual energy is not evenly distributed, naturally there are good and bad, abundant and scarce places, senior brother will take you to the real cultivation area with abundant spiritual energy now, and it is also where I live, senior brother." ”

After speaking, Lu Xingcai pulled up Yin Ning's sleeves and walked from a bamboo forest path to the depths of the dark bamboo forest.
