Chapter 64: What is Retreat?

"Since the aura of heaven and earth here is very strong, wouldn't it be very fast for me to cultivate? Martial artists in the mortal world, with their half-baked qi cultivation methods, they can enter the transformation realm in sixty years, and what I cultivate is the cultivation method of the largest cultivation sect in the Qingyu Galaxy, and with the rich aura of heaven and earth here, I think I will be able to enter the Dan realm in about ten years!" Lin Xiao raised his hand, touched his smooth head, and then said.

"Theoretically, yes. ”

Tian Xiaoying replied when she heard this: "But cultivation is not just based on strong aura and superior exercises, the most important thing is to look at the root bones, rely on talent, some people may be very persevering on the way to cultivation, others have practiced for ten years, he has cultivated for a hundred years, it stands to reason that he should surpass those who have cultivated for ten years?"

But it wasn't. Such people are not as fast as those who are gifted. That's where talent comes in. ”

"Oh, I see!"

Lin Xi suddenly realized on the side: "In the martial arts novels I used to read, I often mentioned words such as 'Bone Qingqi' and 'Root Bone Qijia', those martial arts masters walked the rivers and lakes, and when they saw the martial arts wizard, they said that his bones were Qingqi and his bones were superior, so they wanted to accept him as an apprentice."

And basically all the people who are new to the rivers and lakes dream of worshipping the master as a teacher and learning profound martial arts, but those masters are not accepted by everyone, most of them are not good, and there are even people who do not have the qualifications to practice martial arts. ”

"I also remembered that in the online novels I used to read about Xianxia cultivation, it was a similar situation, and some novels directly took out a set of processes for the root bones, and if you want to worship the entry school for cultivation, you must go through the test of the root bones, if you pass the test, it means that there is a fairy fate, you can cultivate the truth, and you have a spiritual root. ”

Lin Xiao also nodded and said: "Even in some novels, the spiritual roots that can be cultivated are also divided into levels, what are the heavenly spiritual roots, and what are the five elements spiritual roots, which are faster than those ordinary spiritual roots who can cultivate, and some realms must be understood by people with certain spiritual roots, and other people can't reach them at all." ”

Tian Xiaoying summed it up and said: "So, cultivation is not just about resources, nor is it something that can be achieved by hard work alone, it also depends on whether your comprehension is enough, if you don't have comprehension, then basically there is not much achievement." But don't worry too much, as long as it's not too outrageous with poor qualifications, there is still a chance to cultivate the Yuan Infant, the immortals can't do it, but the half-immortals can be expected!"

"Well, Master Xiaoying, if you have something to do, go ahead first, my sister and I are going to officially start the retreat!heyhehey!" Lin Xiao said with a smile when he heard this.

"Poof!"

Tian Xiaoying listened to Lin Xiao's words, and immediately couldn't stop laughing, and only after she finished laughing did she say: "You don't know what 'retreat' means, do you? You haven't practiced for a few days, so what kind of retreat are you talking about? Let people know what kind of apprentice I taught!"

"Uh...... I often read novels that describe that a retreat of the protagonist is decades, sometimes even hundreds of years, and then the cultivation is improved for a long time. Lin Xiao habitually touched his bald head again.

"Retreat, of course, does not refer to ordinary practice. ”

Tian Xiaoying shook her head, and then carefully explained: "Actually, cultivators can cultivate at any time, even if we are walking, sitting and lying down, as long as we separate a part of our minds to run the cultivation method, we can cultivate anytime and anywhere.

However, this level of slow cultivation is of course not as fast as finding a quiet place where few people disturb you and concentrating on cultivation quickly, but this kind of cultivation and the cultivation of calming down have one characteristic, that is, you can withdraw from cultivation at any time, that is, cultivation can be terminated at any time.

Retreat, on the other hand, refers to the process of cultivation, where there are some difficulties that are relatively difficult to cultivate, and the cultivator needs to find an absolutely quiet environment and then eliminate all interference to overcome them.

Even if there is no interference, the retreat does not necessarily mean that you can break through the difficulties, and if you are disturbed by the outside world and fail to break through the level, you will be seriously injured at least or go mad.

Therefore, when many practitioners are in retreat, they not only look for a quiet environment, but also find some people who are not low in cultivation to protect them to ensure that the retreat is free from any interference. ”

"I see!"

Lin Xiao and Lin Xi both nodded to Tian Xiaoying gratefully.

Lin Xiao said: "Then it's not called a retreat, it's just an ordinary cultivation! If there is anything, I will inform you through the contact between us, as long as you are not too far away from me, I can feel your presence." ”

"Well, then that's it, you guys cultivate well, and I'll also go and learn about the affairs on Tianshui Peak. ”

As she spoke, Tian Xiaoying took out two jade belts from the storage belt around her waist, handed them to Lin Xiao and Lin Xi respectively, and then said to them: "These are two storage magic weapons, they are called storage belts, and they can be regarded as low-grade spiritual weapons." You bow down to me, I haven't thought about what to give you a worship ceremony, so when you enter the realm of cultivation in the future, I'll give you some magic weapons.

You can take these two storage belts first, I put a lot of spirit stones and some simple pills in them, as well as some common cultivation items, such as spirit runes and the like. There are some things that you can use when you cultivate, just go and consume them, if you don't have enough, you can directly hold the exemption jade plate and go to Tianwu Peak to withdraw it. ”

Lin Xiao took the storage belt, looked carefully at it in his hand, and found that the appearance was no different from the real belt, but the material was not known what it was, it felt soft as jade, and it looked like nephrite, and said curiously: "Master Xiaoying, just such a storage magic weapon, can it be called a spiritual weapon?

"Spiritual weapons and magic weapons are not so distinguishable. ”

Tian Xiaoying explained: "The clothes on your body are only because the material of refining is a rare material that can be freely transformed, and the clothes can also be infused with true yuan to enhance defense, but other than that, there is no other special place, especially its interior, there is no engraved magic circle." ”

"And this storage belt in your hand is a real spiritual weapon, because when it was refined, the inside was engraved with a 'Sumeru in mustard seeds' type circle, so it would open up a space inside it where things could be stored. And being able to engrave a magic circle inside the magic weapon is a typical sign of the spiritual weapon, I have talked about this knowledge before, have you forgotten it so quickly?"
