Chapter 5 Cultivation System
"Iron Bamboo Forest? That's a place where there are few people. Senior brother, your situation is different from that of the people in the mountains, living in the iron and bamboo forest, it is better to lay a foundation alone. Tomorrow may be Senior Brother, I will send you everything you need for cultivation. ”
"Senior brother, what is foundation building, is it a realm of the cultivation system?"
"That's not it, there's no complete cultivation system. No avenue can be completed by one person, and building a foundation is only a requirement of the Tianxin Northern Sect. The Tianxin Northern Sect requires all disciples to reach a certain state of physique, qi, and spirit before they can begin formal cultivation. Senior Brother Wang taught Jiang Lin some more common sense.
"Like the Tianxin Southern Sect, it doesn't have to be like this, the Tianxin Southern Sect requires the disciples to formally practice as soon as possible, saying that it is to retain the remaining innate qi in the body."
"How long does it take to build the foundation, what kind of state do you want to achieve, and what factions will you divide into after you reach the foundation?"
"Building a foundation depends on everyone's potential, and people with great potential can reach it in a year and a half without bottlenecks. People who don't have potential can only grind up slowly, and they can always achieve it in ten or eight years. As for what state, the strength is up to a thousand catties, the anger rushes to the entrance, and the eyes are transparent, it's fine. ”
"As for the factions after the foundation is built, they are divided according to the main attributes. Attributes, that's too many. The five most basic elements: wind, wood, water, fire, and earth. Mutated elements: wind, snow, rain, ice, electricity, poison blood, etc., as well as mystical systems: light and darkness, space-time poison spells, etc. There are also indescribable attributes: cause and effect, fate, life and death, and so on. There are also other paths: talismans, danding, exercises, formations, and so on. Generally speaking, the so-called cultivation qualification refers to this, and whatever attribute the body is close to, what attribute will be cultivated. When this attribute can no longer move forward, then it is necessary to cultivate both, so as to help this attribute move forward again. ”
"There is a guess that if someone can comprehend their true attributes to perfection, then it is possible to become an immortal. However, this speculation is a bit unrealistic, how can someone truly comprehend an attribute to perfection. ”
"The sect master said that my qualifications are average, what kind of attribute will I have?" Jiang Lin thought of the means by which the Great Elder brought him back, it should be the empty system.
"The qualifications are average, and those should be some of the five basic elements. When you choose a faction in the future, you will know the details through the test. ”
"Senior brother. Is the degree of faction attribute reflected in the strength of the corresponding spell?"
"That's not true, spells are strong and weak, but that's not fundamental. It's all about how well you understand the property. Spells can only benefit your life or fight. Only by understanding and understanding attributes can we improve the level of our own lives, thereby improving our lifespan. Of course, through spells is also a way to deepen the comprehension of attributes. Sometimes a small spell can greatly increase your attribute comprehension. It's also possible that a powerful spell has an effect on your attribute comprehension. This has nothing to do with qualifications, it depends on your understanding. It's up to you to make your own choices, to say the only purpose, to see who lives the longest. There are two reasons why they died early: they didn't understand the attribute enough and their lifespan expired, or they didn't learn the spell in place and died before the lifespan expired. ”
"Understand, spells are means, and attribute comprehension is fundamental. The choice of attributes is determined by qualifications, and the depth of comprehension of attributes is determined by understanding. The qualifications are high and low, so it seems that different attributes also have high and low, is it reflected in the improvement of life expectancy?"
"Smart, the talismans, danding, training tools, etc., which are different paths, are another path, I think you must be able to understand, junior brother, these are also the choices after not choosing them"
"Understand that people who don't have cultivation qualifications or whose cultivation qualifications are too low will definitely create other paths. There are thousands of roads, and the length is different."
"Heh, it's really a pleasure to chat with you, junior brother. As soon as you say it, you will understand. There are also those factions that can't be explained, and they don't look at qualifications, they all look at understanding. It is also the most incomprehensible and intangible. If you can comprehend one or two, it is equivalent to picking up a money bag, and you don't have to continue to dig deeper. Throughout the ages, there are not many people who waste their talents on it. ”
"Is this attribute the only one that adds to life? whichever comprehension is deeper, which one will become this attribute? That's right, it's unlikely that the attribute of concurrent cultivation is deeper than the comprehension of this attribute. ”
"There are also those who change their attributes in the middle, for example, those who initially comprehend the origin of the fire system have a bonus to their lifespan. If you have a preliminary understanding of the origin of water, it is also a bonus to lifespan, but it is very weak. Then first deeply comprehend the water origin, the water origin has a bonus to lifespan, and the influence of the fire origin on lifespan has become weak."
Jiang Lin nodded, and had a preliminary understanding of the cultivation that followed. "What is the origin of what Senior Brother just said?"
"Hehe" Senior Brother Wang laughed a few times, "It seems that the junior brother's comprehension is really good, is the junior brother really out of the wasteland? Origin is a vague measure word for the degree of comprehension of some attributes." After all, everyone's cultivation status is also known to them. There are those who divide the level of comprehension of the faction by several orders of magnitude. The first level is: Initial Entry, Small Success, Middle Success, and Great Achievement; The second level is: Initial Enlightenment, Initial Enlightenment, Origin Small Success, and Origin Dacheng; and the third level is: Perfection"
"Oh, that's a good division. It's a bit like looking at the mountains as mountains and the water as water, the mountains are not mountains, the water is not water, the mountains are still mountains, and the water is still water. Level 1 is deeper than level 1 comprehension. Jiang Lin remembered a common saying again, and felt very reasonable.
Senior Brother Wang pondered for a while, clapped his hands and said, "Good metaphor, the more I think about it, the more profound it is. The junior brother is really perceptive. "Senior Brother Wang especially admired the Great Elder's vision at this moment.
"Here we are, junior brother. Qiannan is an iron bamboo forest, you can go in by yourself. There is a thatched hut inside, and there will be some no-eat pills on the table. I'm going back to report to the suzerain. It should come back tomorrow. After Jiang Lin separated from Senior Brother Wang, he walked into the Iron Bamboo Forest alone.
The bamboos of the Iron Bamboo Forest are indeed as hard as iron and purple in color. It's a bit of a Guanyin purple bamboo forest. In the future, this will be my territory, so let's explore it together. Jiang Lin's cautious attitude has not changed.
The area of the purple bamboo forest is very large, with tens of thousands of square meters. There is a distance of one or two meters between the bamboos. Each bamboo is five or six meters tall. The thatched hut is located in the middle of the iron bamboo forest, and similarly, there is a pond next to the thatched hut. There is a weeping willow on the edge of the pool. There were a lot of things in the thatched house, a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk. There are several calligraphy pictures hanging on the wall, and there are pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the desk.
On the wall opposite the entrance is a painting of a river. Is this a study of water? On the right side hangs a picture with four words: "Good is like water." It seems that it is really the water of research, and this sentence is a sentence in the Tao Te Ching. There is also a Tao Te Ching in this world?
After walking around the iron bamboo forest for a long time, there were no other plants or animals in the iron bamboo forest.
Well, go back to sleep. I still woke up several times during the night.
The next day, he was still woken up by Senior Brother Wang. This made Jiang Lin puzzled, he could wake up several times without movement at night, why did he wake up twice, it was only after Senior Brother Wang pushed him to wake up.
"Hehe" Senior Brother Wang is a person who loves to laugh, "Senior Brother, guess what main attribute I am cultivating"
"Senior brother loves to laugh so much, it can't be dark."
"Of course not"
"That's supposed to be the wind"
"No, it's okay, let me tell you, my main attribute is rain. ”
"Rain? I can't guess ten times that the rain can come in without any movement?"
"Of course, each attribute can be continuously extended, senior brother, after a spring rain, I thought for many days, and finally understood what it means to moisturize things silently, since then, no matter where I go, it is silent. ”
"It's so powerful, then the water attribute can also be done," Jiang Lin couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Of course, this is the role of the secondary attribute when the primary attribute enters a bottleneck. ”
"Let's get up first, the task of the sect master has been assigned to me" After Senior Brother Wang got up in Jianglin, he threw Zhang Jing characters at him again. This Jing'an charm is really convenient to use, and it really saves a lot of trouble. No need to wash your face and brush your teeth, let alone take a shower and wash your clothes.
"Trouble Senior Brother," Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.
"You're welcome, I didn't come here for nothing. All tasks can have sect contribution points. ”
"Sect contribution points, in exchange for exercises, spells, or something?"
"Yes, everything in the sect does not fall from the sky, there is a reward for paying. But junior brother, you don't have to worry, with the relationship of the Great Elder, you don't need to contribute points in the sect. ”
I thought that the old way didn't leave me anything, but it turned out that he left such a big fortune. Jiang Lin thought beautifully in his heart.
"Then senior brother, what if you need something, I'll exchange it for you?"
"Senior brother has received it with good intentions, but there is a reason for the existence of the sect for so long, and the exercises that anyone receives cannot be said in private. Every time you receive a sect exercise, you will recite an oath before it. ”
"Then all the disciples on the mountain rely on contribution points to receive the exercises?" Jiang Lin was a little surprised.
"That's not it, everyone will always have a few more or less exercises that don't belong to the sect. Besides, the exercises are also comprehended by people, but once the exercises they comprehend are handed over to the sect, they will also need to take an oath, and they will get a large amount of contribution value. ”
A large amount of contribution? Jiang Lin suddenly reacted, the shadow left by the old Tao may not be as good as he just thought. In addition to one's own normal cultivation, as for some luxury goods, it is definitely impossible to supply them in unlimited quantities. Not to mention private dealings with other disciples. It seems that you still need to contribute points.
It's still a little early to think about this, so let's listen to the orders given by the sect master.
"Learn words for an hour every day, can my brother and junior know words?"
"I think I know, but I don't know how to write"
"That's still something to learn, this is indispensable. Cutting iron and bamboo in an hour is a laborious task. Practice boxing for an hour, I-shaped Tiger Boxing" Senior Brother Wang made arrangements for the whole morning according to the instructions of the sect master.
"In the afternoon, I practiced qi for two hours, and I was born with qi and breath. An hour pile work, round pile. Three hours in the evening's mental arithmetic."
Jiang Lin felt a slight headache, this is full of arrangements every day. It's a lot of pressure.
