It’s too difficult to cultivate immortality, so I used a strange beast to clone myself into a Taoist

Chapter 98 Testing Spiritual Roots (Including Introduction to World View)
  The next day, Li Qinglin went to Wulao Qingxinzhai.

Last night, the Rakshasa Sect suffered heavy casualties, including the young sect leader Hai Qiu, and three warriors of Marrow Refining level and above were killed.

Even the spiritual master who was invited by Hai Dakuo to help him died at the hands of Wen Shoufei.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the gym today was particularly lively.

The students seemed to be immersed in the scene, vividly recounting the fight in the deserted house last night.

"That battle! Meteors fell from the sky, fire dragons sprang from the earth, and with just a snap of a finger, Hai Qiu and the others were buried in the sea of ​​fire!

When the people nearby rushed over, they only saw a ferocious figure like a yaksha passing through the dark night sky, with wings, and disappeared in the blink of an eye! "

"Such a god? Are there really Yakshas in this world?"

"Well, I said it's like, like, roughly! Pay attention to your wording!"

Li Qinglin passed by the students who were talking about each other and stopped for a moment.

It seems that Li Qinglin was wearing night clothes yesterday and his back was glimpsed by some people who got up at night.

Wings?

Could it be the bow bag hanging on his back?

Li Qinglin muttered silently and didn't care.

After all, it was Yasha who committed the murder. What does it have to do with him, Li Qinglin?
  As long as no innocent people are hurt, the government will not pay much attention to this kind of fighting between gangs and gyms.

now,

Wen Shoufei was waiting behind the hall. When he saw Li Qinglin, he told Pei Zhang,

"Go and get one or two spiritual powders."

Pei Zhang was a little surprised when he heard this and said,
  "Master, do you want to test your spiritual roots for your junior brother?"

Wen Shoufei nodded and walked towards the quiet room.
  "It's better to test it first."

After Hua Mu settled down her kidnapped family, she returned to the martial arts school today.

At this moment, when Hua Mu, Xiao Changyi and others heard that the master was going to test Li Qinglin's spiritual roots, they also showed curiosity and went all the way to the quiet room.

Although they have all tested their spiritual roots, facing the methods of this immortal family, they still want to join in the fun and feast their eyes.

After a while, Pei Zhang took out a piece of jade the size of his fist.

Wen Shoufei took the jade and turned it open. He saw that there was a thin layer of white, transparent, almost colorless crystals in the jade that looked like a small Gu.

Every grain is extremely beautiful and ingenious. From any angle, it looks so flawless.

"This is the powder of a formless spirit stone. Immortal cultivators generally use the powder of this spirit stone to measure their spiritual roots."

Wen Shoufei explained slowly and unhurriedly.

For those who practice immortality in this world, their spiritual roots and spiritual stones all have the saying that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other.

There are metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and there are also some alien spiritual roots and alien spiritual stones, but they are basically all extensions and changes from the five elements.

The phaseless attribute is actually the balance of the five elements, with metal, wood, water, fire, and earth each accounting for 20%, and ultimately mutual generation and mutual restraint to form a phaseless spiritual stone.

The spiritual root qualifications are divided into low grade, medium grade, high grade, top grade, earth spiritual root and heaven spiritual root.

It doesn't matter whether one has a single spiritual root or multiple spiritual roots, and there is no saying that the Five Elements Spiritual Roots are the worst.

If you have multiple spiritual roots, just choose the one with the strongest qualifications.

Because even if there are multiple spiritual roots of the same grade, if you carefully distinguish them, there will still be slight differences in strength and weakness, and they cannot be constant.

It can be handled flexibly according to the immortal cultivation techniques, different environments, and the amount of spiritual energy in the zodiac.

"Hold this powder at the base of your tongue, try to empty yourself, feel the changes in the powder, don't resist, don't be afraid, just let nature take its course."

Li Qinglin took a handful of the spirit stone powder and held it on the base of his tongue with some anxiety.

Pei Zhang and Xiao Changyi were also full of curiosity, wondering who Li Qinglin was.

After a while, Li Qinglin felt a strange fresh air coming from the base of his tongue and rushing straight to his heavenly door.

He suddenly felt as if he was in a state of ecstasy, intoxicated and dreamy. His whole body seemed to be standing on white clouds, forgetting all worries and worries.

"Cultivation of immortality is so fun? It's much better than practicing martial arts!"

In a daze, Li Qinglin still had this idea in his heart.

Pei Zhang and Xiao Changyi saw Li Qinglin standing there, and no other vision happened for a long time.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, junior brother, you have no spiritual roots!"

"Okay, okay, it's okay if you don't have spiritual roots!"

"It's almost the same as us. Just looking at Junior Brother's appearance, why do you enjoy it so much?"

The spirit stone powder was exhausted and melted with Li Qinglin's body fluid.

Li Qinglin woke up immediately and looked at the senior brothers with some confusion. He always felt that this situation was a bit inconsistent, which was very different from what he expected.

Isn’t it true that the stronger the spiritual root qualification, the better?
  Why did everyone feel relieved that he had no spiritual roots?

Li Qinglin received a spittoon from Hua Mu and spit out the fluid in his mouth.

Pei Zhang seemed to see Li Qinglin's doubts and smiled happily.
  "It is naturally good to cultivate immortality. Drink the dew of the magnolia in the morning, dine on the fallen chrysanthemums in the evening, and watch for a long time. It is far more elegant than a warrior."

However, junior brother, your martial arts qualifications are so good. With a body and a heart, you are born to be the material for martial arts training.

If you still have the qualifications to cultivate immortality..."

When Pei Zhang said this, he hesitated and looked at Wen Shoufei, wondering whether he should speak or not.

Wen Shoufei saw this and suddenly spoke,
  "Immortal martial arts cannot be practiced together!"

This time, Wen Shoufei did not hide the secret anymore, but told everything.

In the journey of martial arts, you must first lock your essence and then rest your mind.

On the way to immortality, you first refine your qi and cultivate it with the help of qi. The magic power is generated by itself, without strengthening the essence or nourishing the mind. It is not until you reach a higher level in qi training that you can make up for the weaknesses of the body and soul.

It’s not that immortal cultivators don’t want fellow practitioners to cultivate Jing Qi Shen, it’s just that they can’t.

Manpower is also limited, and if you live for hundreds of years, you naturally have to refine your Qi to live forever, and then slowly work on it.

The warrior, however, has temporarily given up on long-term vision and focused on polishing his body and soul.

Once the immortal martial arts practitioners are together, the three elements of essence, energy and spirit will nourish each other and interlock with each other to form a tripartite force.

What is strong will become weak.

What is weak will be strengthened.

Until the three are balanced.

But it is precisely because of this that it has become an unbreakable natural chasm. There is a certain shackles between the three of Jing, Qi and Shen. That is, it is impossible to improve Jing, Qi and Shen alone, let alone practice all three at the same time. Fellow practitioners of Xianwu!

Realms will lock each other!

This is true for warriors, and it is also true for cultivators.

Of course, for the warriors who are just locking the essence, as long as the internal organs are not completely harmonious, they can still waste all their skills and turn to the path of immortality, and they will regret their mistakes.

But once the five internal organs are rounded, and even enter the realm of spiritual nourishment, there is no possibility of going back.

Li Qinglin was a little confused when he heard this.

"But the world is vast, the path to immortality is endless, and there are countless magical techniques. How can we not completely cover up the traces of martial arts or immortality cultivation, not to mention that fellow practitioners can also change their cultivation?"

Hearing this, Wen Shoufei slowly shook his head,
  "No matter what the magic is, my martial arts even has the method of condensing Qi and blood."

Speaking of this, Wen Shoufei took a deep look at Li Qinglin.

"But no matter what method is used, it is impossible to achieve the point where something is created out of nothing, and something is created out of nothing. Existence must have traces, and everything has a cause and effect.

Immortal martial arts cannot be practiced together, they act on cause and effect. "

Li Qinglin was silent for a long time after hearing this.

He suddenly thought of the records in the "Old Book of Jiwu" in Tianyi Pavilion, so he asked,
  "Then...who created martial arts at the beginning?"

"Immortal. Immortal who refines Qi."

Wen Shoufei's eyes were a little deep, thinking of that night decades ago.

He has grown from being a mat weaver to what he is today, and everyone in the world thinks that he has received the inheritance of an immortal.

Actually... they are right. When I heard that Shoufei was young, he had a dream from an immortal who taught him martial arts.

A mediocre Qing Xin Ming that can't even be considered a superior martial artist.

"I don't know when, practicing qi and cultivating immortals will be plagued by disasters. Some cultivators, for various reasons, do not want to suffer such disasters, so they have learned a new way of cultivation: martial arts."

"So they taught martial arts to the mortal world, hoping to use it to deduce and perfect it. However, after several dynasties such as Dajie, Dashang, and Datie, they could only perfect it to the point of nourishing the mind and the three thoughts. The road behind... was dark. Vague."

Hearing Shoufei's plain voice, Li Qinglin could faintly glimpse the blood and cruelty under the thick history from those words.

Any reform is accompanied by sacrifice.

A piece of history buried with tens of thousands of bones.

Along the way of martial arts, any wrong movement of the muscles, blood, and blood can lead to serious injury and disability, to death on the spot!
  Each step of locking the five levels of essence and nourishing the mind and three minds was taken by the predecessors with painstaking efforts and corpses.

And contemporary warriors such as Li Qinglin and Wen Shoufei are the people who inherit the Xinhuo inheritance, and are the next 'corpses'.

Li Qinglin's heart suddenly became heavy, and he felt a little breathless.

After a moment, he said in a difficult tone,

"Then... in superior martial arts, what are those methods that gather the three flowers of energy and spirit to break through to practice qi?"

Wen Shoufei heard the words, and there was sarcasm in his eyes.

"Of course it was added by a group of immortal cultivators who were afraid of disaster and death, in order to leave a glimmer of hope for their own survival!"

"The purpose is to evolve and find a path to disaster!"

Tribulation...

Li Qinglin has seen and heard this word countless times.

But it's still like trying to catch the moon in the water.

What is a tribulation, where does it start, how does it manifest, and how can it be overcome?
  It's a pity that these secrets seem to involve the foundation of the immortal cultivator.

Wen Shoufei didn't know clearly, and the immortal in his dream was even more vague.

Pei Zhang, Xiao Changyi, and Hua Mu were secretly surprised when they listened to their discussion.

Wen Shoufei took the initiative to inform them of this information after they broke through to the realm of five internal organs.

Unexpectedly, I explained everything to Li Qinglin today.

It seems that Master values ​​this new junior brother very highly.

Pei Zhang and the others thought silently in their hearts.

Pei Zhang suddenly thought of something and asked,

"Master, during this period, the Shuihengliu in the wild mountains outside the city, but..."

Wen Shoufei nodded and said,
  "That's right. That's the way for Taoist Liquan to seek tribulation."

When Pei Zhang heard this, he was immediately stunned.
  "But isn't that the Tribulation Domain? Isn't it an old shadow of history? It stands to reason that Liquan Taoist should have died long ago!"

Xiao Changyi and Hua Mu also had the same doubts in their hearts.

Only Li Qinglin's heart moved and he understood something. He tentatively said,

"Some kind of illusion or formation?"

Wen Shoufei glanced at Li Qinglin in surprise, but thought he saw it in Liaozhai Biography, so he nodded and said,
  "That's right, we didn't notice it at first, but among the immortal warriors in this city, each warrior's strength has greatly increased, and there are many who have broken through to the point of cultivating the spirit. Basically, they all have spiritual roots.

Taoist Liquan, no matter how ancient he is, is clearly a contemporary cultivator of immortality. He has arranged an illusionary formation and is raising pigs and sheep... He has even harvested a batch. "

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the quiet room fell into a state of confusion for a long time.

There was silence, and a pindrop could be heard.

Xiao Changyi said with a bitter tone,

"Then what is the origin of this Liquan Taoist? Why, why has the government been standing by and watching without much movement?"

Hearing Shou Fei's eyes reveal his ridicule,
  "Origin? Didn't he tell it himself? He is Shui Hengliu, a thousand-year-old sect, and he calls himself Taoist Liquan, so the government will regard him as an ancient in the Tribulation Territory."

"Because the government...is the largest immortal cultivating sect in Dajiang!"

……

"Master Li, where are these monster meats kept?"

"Oh, Ah Chun, please lead the way. Put it in the ice cellar in the warehouse for now. Don't eat it yet. Wait until I come back to check the properties of the medicine."

"Yes!"

Early this morning, several butchers knocked on Li Qinglin's door and brought dozens of kilograms of green fish meat.

These butchers were all from the butcher shops affiliated with Wulao Qingxinzhai, and they would deliver monster meat to Li Qinglin basically every other month.

This is the advantage of relying on a big force. Many things are done by his subordinates. Li Qinglin almost only needs to practice.

Li Qinglin glanced at the fish and felt that the green ancient fish looked familiar, and said,
  "Where does this monster meat come from?"

The butcher immediately bowed and replied,

"Young Master Hui, some of the martial arts masters from the gym killed him in the Nituo River when they were on duty a while ago to survey the wilderness and draw the latest map.

Oh, now the water area of ​​Nituo River has been greatly increased. After the last trip to the Red Wave Sea in the Tribulation Territory, the river that fell behind has opened up and merged with Nituo River...

Good guy, there are so many good things in the Nituo River. A piece of coral is a treasure for making swords! But it's too dangerous. There are water beasts everywhere. Those who go to serve there will die nine times out of ten, and many of them will be killed by the beasts. "

When Li Qinglin heard this, he nodded, took out two taels of broken silver and stuffed it into the hands of several butchers.

"Sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome, Mr. Li, this is what we should do!"

After receiving the reward, the butchers smiled even more and took the initiative to close the door when they left.

Thinking back to the butcher's words, Li Qinglin looked thoughtful.

"Since someone has already gone to Nituojiang, if I act, it won't be conspicuous."

Li Qinglin thought for a moment.

Li Xianshi packed her things and prepared to go to the dyeing shop.

Ah Huang's two servants carried the fish back and forth.

The water tank in the yard is filled with water, and the orange flowers in the corner are blooming quietly.

A magpie fell from the sky and rested on the eaves. The white striped feathers on both sides trembled, and from time to time it made a clear and sweet cry.

When Li Xian heard the cry of magpies, he couldn't help but said happily,

"Bear good news in the morning and fortune in the evening. When the magpie comes to your door, you are really happy!"

Li Qinglin heard this and followed the old lady's words.
  "I think it's my younger brother Qing Jing. He will definitely pass the exam this year in Qiu Wei! Our Li family is going to produce a great scholar!"

Li Xianshi suddenly laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Li Qinglin left home and went to the Criminal Division.

From time to time on the road, we encountered martial arts masters riding fast horses and carrying sabers, heading towards the city gate at high speed, all looking for immortals.

A few days ago, after testing my spiritual roots, I still remembered what Wen Shoufei said.

But for the so-called Liquan Taoist who spread the idea of ​​immortality and evolution in order to seek disaster, he had no intention of being a savior and forcing himself to stand out.

After all, he has no spiritual roots, and Liquan Taoist's target is not him and his family.

Just keep developing in silence.

It's just that he still has some regrets in his heart. Martial arts is rough, but now he can only rest his mind, and the road ahead is bleak.

The Immortal Way is such a great way to reach the sky, but it is impossible to experience it personally, which really makes people sigh.

"Spiritual roots? With Xin Toad in front, I wonder if he can feed back the spiritual roots. Is it really impossible to break through the immortal martial arts without practicing together?"

Li Qinglin was thinking about this issue all the way.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Li Qinglin originally planned to go to Tixing Division to inquire about news and see if Hou Huanhua was dead, but as soon as he entered Tixing Division, he heard a burst of noise.

Many people in prison uniforms were pushed and squeezed, crying and howling, their hands and feet shackled, surrounded by a group of torturers, and they were interrogating something.
