The boy was the Jinquan who entered the Tiannan Su family four years ago.

Today, with sufficient preparation, he hit the first major bottleneck of the condensation period and failed again. And this is already his thirtieth shock in the past three years, the bottleneck of the early stage of the condensation failed.

"Could it be that my spiritual root qualifications are really so bad? Could it be that on the path of cultivating immortals, diligence really can't make up for the difference in my qualifications? Could it be that my four-attribute miscellaneous spirit root can't even reach the fourth layer of condensation? But if that's the case, then why did even Mao Xiaoliang, who has a worse qualification than me, successfully break through the bottleneck and entered the fourth layer of condensation in the last month? His five-attribute spiritual root is called the worst waste spiritual root!"

After Jin Quan let out a long sigh, his palms slapped heavily on the stone couch under him.

Although Jin Quan did not inject spiritual power into his palms at this time, two faint palm prints still appeared on the erected stone couch again. If anyone could take a closer look at the stone couch where Jin Quan was sitting, they would be surprised to find a strange place, and there were countless small palm prints, deep and shallow, around the two palm prints that had just been taken.

In these four years of cultivating immortals, Jin Quan has not given up his practice in martial arts, no matter how hard and tired his daily cultivation is, Jin Quan will still take a little time to practice and consolidate the martial arts taught by Master Song.

After four years of systematic study, Jin Quan is already very familiar with some basic common sense of cultivating immortals. In particular, the situation of various spiritual roots and the relationship between spiritual roots and monks in cultivation have long been well understood.

To put it bluntly, the spiritual root is a kind of life source, although it cannot be seen or touched, but it is real. At the same time, it is also the most basic and critical factor that determines whether a person can cultivate immortals. Because only those who possess spiritual roots can sense all kinds of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy that is beneficial to them into their body through a magical cultivation method, and then continuously attract these spiritual qi to their own use. A person who does not have a spiritual root cannot feel the existence of spiritual energy at all, and even if he forcibly infuses spiritual power with external force, he will not be able to absorb these spiritual energy.

In addition, spiritual roots are not something that everyone will have. I heard that there can only be one person with a spiritual root for every ten thousand mortals, and it can be said that every person with a spiritual root is a darling of the heavens.

Of course, there is also a very obvious distinction between the spiritual root and the spiritual root. In general, spiritual roots can be roughly divided into six categories according to the number of attributes contained in them, and different spiritual roots have a decisive impact on the monk's future cultivation and future achievements.

A spiritual root with one and only one attribute is called a heavenly spiritual root. The people who possess the Heavenly Spiritual Root are all true Heavenly Prides, because of the singleness and purity of their spiritual root attributes, the monks who possess this spiritual root are not only very fast when cultivating, but also have quite amazing combat effectiveness. What's even more rebellious is that the Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator Ning Dan has no bottleneck, it can be said that as long as they don't fall halfway, then they will definitely be able to become a Ning Dan Stage Monk. This alone was enough to make all immortal cultivators jealous and crazy.

With such benefits, no matter which sect accepts a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Root, then it is almost a sure thing that a Ning Dan monk will appear in that sect after a hundred years. Therefore, the appearance of every Heavenly Spirit Root will cause a bloody storm in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and in the end, the young people of the Heavenly Spirit Root will be accepted by the most powerful sect.

It's just that mortals who can possess the Heavenly Spirit Root are very rare. It is said that among the tens of thousands of immortal cultivators with spiritual roots, there is a chance that there will be such a one.

Spiritual roots with two attributes are called Earth Spiritual Roots. Although the monks with the Earth Spirit Root are far inferior to the Heavenly Spirit Root, they are better than the number of them. As long as you can cultivate hard and your luck is not too bad, there is still a lot of hope for you to become a condensation stage cultivator with the help of the medicinal power of the Spirit Condensation Pill. Therefore, the two-attribute Earth Spirit Root Cultivator is also the most valuable resource in the immortal cultivation world today, and every sect will never have too many disciples when recruiting disciples. You must know that the Tiannan Su family also has only two condensation stage monks. Moreover, even in the Great Gate Sect, the Condensate Cultivators are all core disciples, the absolute backbone of the sect.

Spiritual roots with three attributes are called human spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots with four attributes are called miscellaneous spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots with five attributes are called waste spiritual roots.

The spirit roots of the third, fourth, and fifth attributes are all very ordinary, and generally speaking, those who do not have great opportunity and great perseverance will not be able to go far on the road of cultivating immortals. To be a condensate monk is already to snicker.

In addition, in addition to the most common five element attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, there are also some people who have mutated spirit roots. However, any monk who possesses a mutated attribute beyond the five elements, regardless of whether he has a second attribute, can be collectively referred to as a Monk of the Alien Spirit. The common alien spirit roots generally include thunder spirit roots, ice spirit roots and wind spirit roots. Of course, there are also a very small number of blood spirit roots, light spirit roots, dark spirit roots, and so on.

Although the qualifications of these monks with alien spirit roots are not as rebellious as those of the Heavenly Spirit Root, they are still far superior to other types of spirit roots. As long as there are exercises that suit their own attributes, generally speaking, it is very possible for the Alien Spirit Root Cultivator to successfully advance to the Ning Dan Stage. Even if they don't have a good chance and can't go any further, the higher-ups of each sect will still give priority to cultivating them. Because the combat power of all Alien Spirit Root Monks is better than that of monks of the same rank.

As early as when he learned that his spiritual root was the four spiritual roots that accompanied the last seat, Jin Quan didn't really care. He has always believed in the saying that diligence makes up for clumsiness. In fact, Jin Quan has always insisted on this since he was a child, and his cultivation in the Nameless Heart Sutra and secular martial arts is a good proof of this?

So since the day he entered Tiannan Su's house, Jinquan has never slept again. Every day during the day, he would study all kinds of knowledge in the immortal cultivation world with his heart. In the evening, he meditated silently on the stone couch and practiced the "Aoki Jue".

In the end, the cruel truth still dealt a heavy blow to Jinquan.

"It's no wonder that the Immortal Cultivation Realm will divide the monks into three, six, nine and so on based on the merits of the spiritual root. It turns out that this gap in qualifications is really irreparable. Otherwise, why would the first major bottleneck in this condensation period be stuck with me for three years......" Jin Quan couldn't help laughing at himself when he thought of this.

The basic exercises of the Qi Condensation Period are divided into twelve layers, and each third layer is divided into a realm. It is divided into four realms: the early stage of condensation, the middle stage of condensation, the late stage of condensation and the great consummation of condensation. When cultivating, one layer is more difficult than the other, and each layer is a small hurdle, and every third layer is a big hurdle.

This hurdle is also commonly known as a bottleneck in the immortal cultivation world.

When cultivating, monks must constantly break through one bottleneck after another, large and small, in order to continuously improve their cultivation. And it was in this situation that Jinquan suddenly fell into the bottleneck of the early stage of condensation. In the blink of an eye, he went from a genius that everyone envied to a despicable waste.

Three years ago, just when everyone took it for granted that Jinquan would rush to the fourth layer of condensation in one fell swoop, a nightmare suddenly struck. Jin Quan, who had stayed at the peak of the third layer of condensation for a while, failed to break through to the middle stage of condensation in one fell swoop after making sufficient preparations, and then tried a few more times, and found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cross the bottleneck from the third layer of condensation to the fourth layer of condensation.
