Chapter 7: The Spiritual Roots of Teaching

"You're doing very well, even better than I expected. How did you do that punch www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion?It seems that you haven't learned any clever martial arts, right?" While smearing the jade-colored green spirit paste in the jade box on Mo En's shoulder, Lu Qianming said lightly. This crystal-clear looking ointment is actually a collection of the best of a variety of herbs and has an almost magical effect on trauma caused by external forces. If it is taken out and sold, the value is not lower than that of some congenital stage martial artists. At this time, Lu Qianming did not hesitate to use half a box of Qingling Paste on Mo En's body.

"That punch is the last time I fought with the wolf, I realized the power method, I can exert most of my strength. I was forced to fight back today. In the end, you will be troubled by the Elder. Morn lowered his head and said in a deep voice. Mo En didn't want to say much about the strange appearance of exercises in his mind. It's not that he doesn't trust Elder Lu, but this matter is too bizarre to be trusted at all.

As for Mu Tie's matter, although in the rules of the tribe, being injured in a fair and willing battle between the two sides is to blame, and no one else is allowed to take revenge on the victor for this. But Morn also knew that rules are dead, and people are alive. For the handymen who have no power, the rules are very binding. But for the elders who held the power of the clan, the rules were not so binding. This time, Mo En seriously injured Mu Tie, and if Elder Lu hadn't come forward, I am afraid that Elder Mu Shang would soon avenge his grandson. It can be said that the main reason why Morn came to Elder Lu this time was to seek refuge.

"Is there a feeling between life and death? As for trouble, trouble is unavoidable, and if there is trouble, just solve it. And this kind of trivial thing is not a trouble. After applying the Qingling Ointment, Lu Qianming gently pressed his hand on Morn's injured left shoulder, and a warm power emitted, wrapped in the medicinal power of the Qingling Ointment, integrated into Morn's flesh and blood, and turned into the power to restore Morn's injury. In a few moments, Morn's shoulder injury was half healed. The remaining half only needs to rest for a day or two before it recovers on its own.

"Thank you, Elder, for healing me. Morn bowed his head and said respectfully. As a qualified pharmacist apprentice, Mo En was well aware of the preciousness of the Green Spirit Ointment, and he was also more aware of Elder Lu's efforts to refine his medicinal power with mana. This kind of behavior is tantamount to giving up this mana and injecting it into Morn's body. Although the mana spent refining the Green Spirit Paste may not be worth mentioning to Elder Lu, and it only takes a while to re-cultivate it back, it is a huge favor in itself to let a monk who regards mana cultivation as his life give up mana to heal himself.

"Hehe, it's too early for you to say thank you. Elder Lu shook his head and said lightly, "Because it is my intention to divide you under Mu Tie's men." ”

"You... Morn's head was clouded, and the whole person was stunned. Elder Deer's love and respect for himself would definitely not be fake, if it weren't for Elder Deer, Mo En would probably still be at the bottom of the tribe like other miscellaneous servants of the same age, doing chores such as cleaning cow dung and washing horses, and it would be impossible for him to be qualified to live in a tent alone and get along with a tribal princess like Mingzhu day and night. It can be said that a large part of Morn's current status was given by Elder Lu. And how could a person who was so good to himself deliberately let himself fall into the hands of Mu Tie, an opponent?

"Mu Tie, this kid has been under my door for nearly three years, and I know him very well. Although he is not talented enough, he does not make rapid progress in martial arts and medicine, but this kid has one advantage, that is, stubbornness. It's something he thinks of, and he will try to do it. So whether it's learning the art of a pharmacist with me, or seeking revenge on you, he will do his best. And I'm just going to give him such a chance. By the way, see how you're doing. Elder Lu stared into Morn's eyes and said lightly.

"If I lose to Mu Tie this time, won't the elders accept me as an entry?" After thinking for a long time, Mo En raised his head and asked Lu Qianming. After listening to Elder Lu's explanation, Morn vaguely understood Elder Lu's intentions.

"I wasn't prepared to take you in now. Lu Qianming shook his head and said very calmly: "This is a small test for you. If you can't control your emotions, someone controls you to start a fight, and you lose. Or silently endure the insult and don't fight back a bit, which means you have not passed the test. Because the former means that you don't have enough sanity, and pure blood can only hasten your death. The latter means that you don't have the heart of a strong man. The real strong, even in the case of absolute disadvantage, will not give up the idea of fighting back, and only the weak will be willing to be oppressed and insulted. ”

"Originally, I thought you would choose to avoid the edge for a while and come to me to borrow strength, but your performance exceeded my expectations. Not only can I control my emotions, but my head is quite flexible, and I didn't wait for the person I arranged to remind me, so I took the initiative to use the rules to fight for my rights. When fighting, he has a clear understanding of his own strength, and can be ruthless and exchange injuries for injuries. This kind of mind is no worse than those disciples of the big sects. So in this test, your performance can be said to be quite good. Looking at Mo En, whose face was not very good-looking, Elder Lu said lightly. There was also a hint of gentleness in his tone.

"Is the elder willing to take me as an apprentice now?" Morn asked, a little nervous. After knowing that Elder Lu had the intention of taking him as a disciple, Morn had been looking forward to it. After all, worshipping Elder Lu as a teacher not only means that you can get rid of the status of miscellaneous servants, but also means that you can get better teachings and find a way to become stronger. Morn, who grew up in the tribe, knew very well that it was extremely difficult to become strong without someone to teach him.

"Not yet. Lu Qianming shook his head slightly, and saw that Mo En's eyes only showed disappointment, and there was no resentment, so he nodded and continued: "Do you know the most fundamental difference between a monk and a martial artist?"

"Monks and warriors, are the elders talking about the spiritual root?" Morn collected his agitated mood, thought for a moment, and replied seriously. Although Elder Lu did not promise to accept himself as a disciple, the meaning of his words was that he already had this intention, but he was not qualified enough and had not completely passed the test. So now is not the time to be disappointed and sad, but to work harder and fight for the opportunity to get started.

"Not bad. But do you know what a spiritual root is?" Elder Lu nodded and continued to ask.

"If the students don't know, please ask the elders to teach you. Morn bowed his head and replied honestly. Although among the tribes, I have occasionally heard people talk about the spiritual root, but the information I get is so messy that Mo En can't even tell the truth from the false, so he naturally doesn't dare to show it at this time.

"The so-called spiritual root is actually the qualification of whether a person can absorb and use the aura of heaven and earth. Generally speaking, this kind of qualification will be manifested when cultivating to the innate realm. People who have spiritual roots, after advancing to the innate level, can draw power from the aura of heaven and earth, refine it, and transform it into various mana, these people are called monks. And people who do not have spiritual roots, even if they advance to the innate level, they cannot refine the aura of heaven and earth and transform mana, and can only use the external aura to refine their bodies and strengthen their physical bodies, and these people are called body refiners. Because there are very few people who possess spiritual roots, the number of monks is far inferior to that of body refiners. Elder Lu stroked his gray beard and said.

"Since the spiritual root is a qualification, then different spiritual roots should also be very different, right? I heard people say that the Heavenly Spirit Root, the Alien Spirit Root, and the Miscellaneous Spirit Root before, what do these mean?" Mo En asked respectfully. As a handyman, Morn did not have many opportunities to come into contact with this kind of knowledge, and although Elder Lu had talked a lot about it in the past, he had not talked about such a detailed thing. This time there was a chance, and Morn naturally wanted to figure it out.

"You're right, the difference between the spiritual roots is also huge. According to the different attributes that can absorb and refine the spiritual energy, there are also many kinds of spiritual roots. Ordinary monks can absorb and refine the five kinds of spiritual energy: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, there are also some monks' spiritual roots that can absorb special spiritual energy such as wind, thunder, ice, darkness, and space, so these spiritual roots are called alien spirit roots. Elder Lu replied.

"What about the ordinary spirit root and the alien spirit root, which one is more powerful?" Morn asked.

"The spirit root itself is not as powerful as that, but the nature of the power represented by the aura of different attributes is different, and there is no difference in power when cultivating to a high depth. Elder Lu shook his head and said lightly: "It's just that there will be a gap between people with spiritual roots, after all, people can't have exactly the same qualifications. Moreover, there are very few people who possess a single spiritual root, in fact, the vast majority of monks have several spiritual roots in their bodies. ”

"Is it because the more types of spiritual roots on the body, the better the monk's qualifications?" Morn continued.

"Of course not. Elder Lu shook his head, "Cultivators cultivate mana and pay attention to purity. If a monk only has one spiritual root, then he doesn't have to worry about the mixing of mana, and he will save a lot of effort when cultivating, and the resistance he will encounter when advancing will be much smaller. And the more spiritual roots, the more mixed the aura attributes absorbed during cultivation, the slower the speed of cultivation, and the greater the difficulty of advancement. Therefore, a monk who has only one spiritual root is called a heavenly spiritual root, which is a symbol of the best qualifications. And if the four spirit roots are mixed with more, it is called a miscellaneous spirit root, and there is no future. ”

"Ahh

"Yes. After glancing at Mo En in some surprise, Elder Lu continued: "Because the number of Heavenly Spirit Roots is pitiful, most of the monks have to face the problem of mixed spiritual power, so there are indeed many ways to reconcile different attribute auras and cultivate together. However, even with the help of the exercises, the cultivators of the Duoling Root were still not comparable to the Heavenly Spirit Root in terms of cultivation. Moreover, there are no more than three types of exercises that can effectively reconcile spiritual power, and the monks of the three spiritual roots may advance to the primordial infant, and the monks of the miscellaneous spiritual roots want to go to a high place, but it is difficult to climb to the sky. Therefore, ordinary sects will not accept Miscellaneous Spiritual Root Monks as official disciples. ”

"Doesn't the monk of the Miscellaneous Roots have no hope of reaching high places at all?" Morn asked.

"It can't be said that there is nothing at all. Elder Lu pondered for a moment before continuing: "If there is a suitable Heaven and Earth two-level exercise, sufficient resources, and good enough spiritual root qualifications, it is also possible to reach a higher realm if you choose to suppress part of the spiritual root for cultivation. However, if you do this, the resources consumed are absolutely astronomical, and it is not that the top forces cannot support it at all, and the success rate is not high. ”

"Linggen qualifications?" Mo En asked with some confusion.

"The so-called spiritual root qualification refers to the efficiency of the monk in absorbing and refining the spiritual energy. People with good spiritual root qualifications absorb spiritual energy quickly, and if they refine it sufficiently, they will make rapid progress. People with poor spiritual root qualifications will absorb spiritual energy slowly, and the mana they will refine will be less. However, this qualification can be changed, and top-level exercises and some spiritual pills can improve the spiritual root qualification. This is not the decisive factor. Elder Lu said lightly.

"By the way, the elder just said that under normal circumstances, the spirit root can only be awakened when you are at the advanced innate level, so is there any special situation?" Morn asked. After faintly grasping Elder Lu's thoughts, Morn continued to ask. This kind of thing related to one's own future, naturally, the more detailed the question, the better.

"Of course. Didn't I just say that everyone's spiritual root qualifications are different, if the spiritual root qualifications are good to a certain extent, or if there are special exercises and special elixirs to stimulate, you can also awaken the spiritual root before advancing to the innate level. Once the spiritual root is awakened, the cultivator can cultivate with the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the speed of advanced innate will also become extremely amazing. People who can really awaken the spiritual root in advance with their own talent are all supreme geniuses, and it is normal for them to advance to the innate before the age of ten. Lu Qianming replied.

"Is there a way to make people who don't have a spiritual root develop a spiritual root?" Morn asked with some apprehension after a moment of silence. By this time, Morn had basically guessed that Elder Lu was now unwilling to accept him as an apprentice, largely because he did not necessarily have a spiritual root. After all, as a monk, it was impossible for Elder Lu to accept a person who could not become a monk as a successor. After all, whether it is the cultivation of immortals or the art of alchemy, only monks can cultivate.

"It's not impossible, but it's not available to people of our level at all. That level of heavenly and earthly treasures is rare in the world, and even if there is, it has been collected by major forces and used to win over top body refiners. Elder Lu shook his head and sighed, "Now you know why I won't take you as an apprentice now, right?"

"The juniors know. Then what qualifications do I have for the elders to accept me as an apprentice?" Morn nodded and asked respectfully.

"Qualifications, we will wait until you awaken the spiritual root. As long as you can awaken the spirit root, even if it is a miscellaneous spirit root, I will give you a chance. Of course, this is only one aspect, and there will be other tests in my hand. Only when they all pass will they really accept you as an apprentice. Do you have an answer to the question I asked you yesterday?" Lu Qianming stroked his gray beard and asked lightly.

"I... ”

"Elder Lu, Mo Hua asks to see you!" Before Mo En could speak, Mo Hua's voice came from outside the tent.

"Come in. After motioning for Mo En to sit down on the side for the time being, Lu Qianming said lightly.
