Chapter 303 The Secret of Spiritual Roots
Luo Yan smiled and said, "Dan Linggen, as the name suggests, is also a kind of spiritual root."
"I'd like to hear more about it." Lin Mu stood aside and listened attentively.
"Spiritual roots, you already know that." Luo Yan smiled and said, "Spiritual roots are very important to the aptitude of a cultivator. Compared with other spiritual root cultivators, a cultivator with only one spiritual root can achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation, and encounters far fewer bottlenecks in cultivation than ordinary cultivators. Even if they encounter bottlenecks, the difficulty of breaking through is far less than that of ordinary cultivators."
"On the contrary, mortals without spiritual roots have extremely weak sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If they rely solely on their own hard work, they have almost no hope of building a foundation. Even if they are lucky enough to build a foundation, it will be difficult to achieve great success in the future. Moreover, the difficulty of cultivation for mortals without spiritual roots is also several times that of those with spiritual roots. It is extremely difficult to break through the bottleneck. Cultivation is not easy and thankless. Therefore, no matter how rich the resources of a sect are, they are unwilling to recruit a mortal without spiritual roots."
Lin Mu nodded: "Indeed, spiritual roots have a great influence on people."
Both Lin's father and mother are mortals without spiritual roots. The difficulty of cultivation is several times that of ordinary people. Lin Mu has a deep understanding of this.
He and Shitou took a third-grade elixir, which was only one-third of his parents', and successfully reached the peak of the foundation-building period. Moreover, the two of them had to spend a lot of time refining the elixir. Lin's father and mother spent almost all their time on hard cultivation, and they had a huge supply of elixirs, but even so, they still have not reached the peak of the foundation-building period.
The gap is more than ten times!
Lin Mu and Shitou's qualifications are only mid-level among the cultivators.
Compared with the genius of a single spiritual root, the gap between Lin's father and mother is difficult to measure.
"But, what is Dan Linggen?" Lin Mu asked in confusion: "What is the connection between it and Linggen?"
"Of course it is related." Luo Yan smiled and said: "Spiritual roots are divided into innate spiritual roots and acquired spiritual roots. Innate spiritual roots are what we usually call spiritual roots. There are five types: single spiritual roots, double spiritual roots, triple spiritual roots, quadruple spiritual roots, and five-element spiritual roots. Innate spiritual roots are born with and will not change throughout life. The aptitude is fixed. Mortals are people who do not have innate spiritual roots."
Lin Mu seemed to understand: "What is acquired spiritual root?"
"This is the point I want to make." Luo Yan said: Yan smiled and said, "Just because a mortal has no spiritual roots by nature does not mean that he cannot cultivate. If he has acquired spiritual roots, his cultivation progress is not inferior to that of a person with spiritual roots. In fact, if his acquired spiritual roots are good enough, his cultivation aptitude can be comparable to that of a genius with two spiritual roots."
"Dan spiritual roots are a type of acquired spiritual roots. These two golden pills are of good quality. If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to refine two Dan spiritual roots. As long as a mortal takes one, he will immediately have a spiritual root, and his aptitude can at least be comparable to that of a person with three spiritual roots." Luo Yan looked at Lin Mu with a smile on his face.
Lin Mu was overjoyed: "According to the elder, these two golden pills can be refined into Dan spiritual roots?"
Luo Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes. These two golden pills, one fire and one water, if they are refined into Dan spiritual roots, they are just right for your parents. In the future, the hope that they can both reach the golden pill level will also increase greatly!"
Lin Mu smiled immediately after hearing this.
If this is true, he can put down a big stone in his heart.
His parents' cultivation has always been a concern for him. Although he has made a lot of efforts, the results are not satisfactory. Now if each of his parents can have a Dan Linggen, not only will the speed of cultivation increase greatly, but it will be just around the corner to advance to the peak of the foundation-building stage, and it will be many times easier to impact the golden elixir stage in the future!
Looking at the two shining golden elixirs in Luo Yan's hand, Lin Mu realized the value of these two golden elixirs.
"What I said is naturally easy, but the fact is not so." Luo Yan changed the subject: "Dan Linggen is extremely difficult to refine. Not everyone can refine it. This matter still requires Elder Hanbing to take action before there is hope."
Lin Mu couldn't help but look at the Hanbing Fairy.
Hanbing Fairy looked indifferent: "Dan Linggen is also a kind of elixir. The grade is fourth grade. I can naturally help you refine it, but the success rate is only 70%. The required thousand-year-old spiritual medicine and a group of materials need to be found by yourself."
Lin Mu nodded hurriedly: "Disciple thanks the elder here."
Hanbing Fairy nodded slightly and said no more.
"The rarity of Dan Linggen is beyond your imagination." Luo Yan said: "The value of the Jindan cultivator alone is difficult to measure, and it is not easy to obtain. It is even more difficult to refine it into Dan Linggen. Moreover, even if it is refined, it is only to improve the mortal's qualifications to the level of three spiritual roots. Under normal circumstances, very few people will do this."
Lin Mu nodded, he naturally understood this.
Jindan cultivators are rare in a century, but three spiritual root cultivators are everywhere.
Unless there are special circumstances, very few people will refine Dan Linggen.
"But nothing is absolute." Luo Yan said: "In many sects or immortal cultivation families, some descendants of Jindan cultivators do not necessarily have innate spiritual roots. The appearance of spiritual roots is extremely strange and there is no way to guess. The descendants of Jindan cultivators may also be mortals without spiritual roots. At this time, Dan Linggen is extremely important. Some Jindan cultivators will kill a Jindan master at all costs in order to refine a Dan Linggen."
"In the eyes of the late Jindan, the early Jindan cultivators are just a resource, just like the thousand-year-old elixir and the inner elixir of monsters, which are obtained by the strong." Luo Yan said: "Without absolute strength, once bad luck, you are very likely to die in the hands of others. Before you are strong enough, don't be ostentatious and keep a low profile to avoid jealousy."
Lin Mu was awed and said hurriedly: "Disciple will keep it in mind and dare not overstep the line."
The early Jindan cultivators can be killed at will, which deeply touched him.
Before, he thought that as long as he became a Jindan, he could at least have a foothold in the Tianxiao Realm and no longer be afraid of others.
Now it seems that everything is not as good as imagined.
"Of course, there are only a few people who need Dan Linggen after all." Luo Yan smiled and said, "As long as they don't provoke others and don't have rare treasures, Jindan cultivators are relatively safe. Jindan late cultivators dare not wantonly kill Jindan early cultivators without reason. Otherwise, in the eyes of the righteous sects, this action is considered to have fallen into the devil's way, and they should be killed together! Sword cultivators claim to be famous and upright, with great spirit. The entire Tianxiao world is famous and upright, and the devil cultivators have long been extinct."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
What Luo Yan said was just a comforting word.
What famous and upright, great spirit, are all just words.
He has seen countless things of killing people for treasures, and it is not uncommon, and he has long been accustomed to it.
Even among these Jindan cultivators, which one is righteous and which one has great spirit?
Fangshan and Chengfeng, for the sake of the blessed land, will not come to destroy Nongyanmen.
Fen Ning was not a generous person. When he seized the opportunity, he was like a thunderbolt, and he killed the two people and their disciples with all his strength.
In the final analysis, strength is the most important and the most reliable.
Looking at the golden elixir in Luo Yan's hand, Lin Mu asked curiously: "Why are one of these two golden elixirs red and the other green? Moreover, what is the relationship between the golden elixir and the elixir spirit root?"
Luo Yan glanced at Lin Mu and smiled: "Who told you that the golden elixir must be golden. The golden elixir of the golden elixir cultivator is the same as the five elements spiritual power. Only the golden root cultivator will be golden, the fire element will be red, and the water element will be green. The golden elixir is the spiritual power in the body condensed into an elixir, solidified like gold. As for the elixir spirit root, it is directly related to the golden elixir. The fire element golden elixir refines the elixir spirit root. After taking it, you naturally have the fire element spirit root. The water element golden elixir refines the elixir spirit root. After taking it, you naturally have the water element spirit root."
So that's it.
Lin Mu seemed to have some understanding. If that were the case, the stone had four spiritual roots, but the missing one was the wood spiritual root. If he could obtain a wood-type Jindan-stage cultivator's golden elixir in the future and refine a wood-type Dan spiritual root, the stone could also become a five-element spiritual root. In this way, the effect of practicing the Five Elements Heart Sutra would naturally be better than now.
However, Dan spiritual roots were too difficult to obtain.
Killing the golden elixir was impossible for him.
"I wonder if there are other ways to obtain Dan spiritual roots?" Lin Mu looked at Luo Yan.
"Dan spiritual roots are just a kind of acquired spiritual roots." Luo Yan smiled and said, "Of course there are other ways."
There really are!
Lin Mu was overjoyed and listened carefully.
Fairy Han Bing and Yin Xin stood aside, looking indifferent, and neither of them said a word.
Luo Yan smiled and said, "There are many kinds of acquired spiritual roots, and I don't know much about them. In addition to the golden elixir of cultivators, the inner elixir of monsters above level 7 can also be used to refine elixir spiritual roots. However, the level 7 monsters are deep in the misty forest, and the golden elixir cultivators dare not go there, let alone kill the level 7 monsters. If three or five ordinary golden elixir masters enter the misty forest, they will definitely not return, and the monsters will definitely attack them in groups."
"Golden elixir and inner elixir are the essence of the lifelong cultivation of cultivators and monsters. It is not surprising that they can refine elixir spiritual roots. In these two In addition to the species, some natural treasures also have this effect. I have even heard of a kind of spiritual spring, which is a sixth-grade spiritual spring that is rare in a thousand years. Drinking a mouthful can give you water spiritual roots, practice water mental methods and sword techniques, and your qualifications are no less than those of a single water spiritual root cultivator! "
Luo Yan recalled: "Some strange thousand-year-old spiritual medicines also have such effects. It's just that such encounters are hard to come by and often only exist in legends. Ordinary people don't even think about it, it's impossible. "
Lin Mu nodded gently, thinking.
These possibilities do not necessarily not exist.
Before he obtained the Xuanyue Pei, he had never thought that there would be such a rare treasure in the world.
Compared with the above natural treasures, the Xuanyue Pei is undoubtedly much more valuable.
It's hard to say about encounters.
If it weren't for the Xuanyue Pei, how could he be what he is now, with no rivals in the Lingji period, and Luo Yan, Yinxin, and Hanbing Fairy valued?
Encounters are opportunities for people, not completely unearned.
After owning the Xuanyue Pendant, the efforts he made were still far better than those of ordinary people, otherwise he would not have achieved what he has now.
Now, after hearing Luo Yan's careful guidance, he also has a deep understanding of the secrets of spiritual roots.
Since his parents are practicing the "Five Elements Heart Sutra", Lin Mu has an idea that he himself dare not believe, that is, try his best to obtain ten Dan spiritual roots, so that both parents have five elements spiritual roots!
If this is true, the hope of the two people to impact the Golden Core Stage will definitely soar many times!
Lin Mu naturally knew the difficulty of this, which was simply unimaginable.
But he was still willing to try his best.
People's hearts are always like this, they are greedy and want more after getting something.
It is precisely because of this that the strength of cultivators can continue to grow and not be killed at will.
