Yang Xian, who has experienced this catastrophe, now feels refreshed. The tenacity of his immortal veins has become three times stronger, the spiritual energy flow channel has nearly doubled, his body meridians are also three times stronger than before, and his physical fitness has improved significantly. , the body is full of strength. Yang Xian subconsciously circulated the spiritual energy in his Dantian. This spiritual energy ran rapidly in the three immortal veins and Dantian like a wild horse. Compared with before, the current immortal veins were as wide as a broad road. The three immortal veins, Tiantong Immortal The Tianyin Immortal Veins, Tiancheng Immortal Veins, and Tiancheng Immortal Veins are completely opened, forming a small circulation around the Dantian. The spiritual energy moved as he pleased. Unconsciously, the speed of Jian Yuan Zhenjie's technique was accelerating, and the spiritual energy was stirring in the immortal veins.
With Yang Xian running "Jianyuan Zhenjie" at such a high speed, the spiritual energy was rising and shrinking, and Yang Xian caught a mysterious and mysterious feeling. Yang Xian immediately entered the state of cultivation, "Mysterious and mysterious, it is Tianxuan. "As soon as the sword energy comes out...", Yang Xian immediately started to use the fourth level of sword energy refining technique. The fourth immortal vein, Tianxuan immortal vein, was mysteriously and mysteriously opened, which meant that Yang Xian After breaking through to the fourth level of Qi refining, the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi refining was passed by, and the middle stage of Qi refining was naturally entered. Tianxuan Immortal Veins, mysterious and mysterious, this is a hurdle. Many monks are stuck at the bottleneck, unable to understand such an artistic conception.
Open the Tianxuan Immortal Veins and enter the fourth level of Qi Refining. The spiritual energy in the body increases five times compared to the third level of Qi Refining. The spiritual energy in the body increases and the changes are huge. The energy is gathered into a sword. The separation of the sword energy from the body is proof that the sword energy can be emitted. Combat power increased dramatically.
Entering the fourth level of Qi Refining, Yang Xian was overjoyed, because it had only been more than a year since Yang Xian broke through the third level of Qi Refining, and now he had directly entered the fourth level of Qi Refining. This luck was simply astonishing, because Yang Xian estimated that with his own cultivation speed, It will take at least three to five years to accumulate enough spiritual energy to hit the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi refining, and it is important that this bottleneck is not stuck, otherwise it will take more time. After turning his mind around, Yang Xian immediately found that the clothes on his body had been completely solidified by black stains, and there was a stench. The entire place where he lived was already stinky. Yang Xian immediately took off his clothes and used his spiritual power to cast a spell. Xiao Yunyushu took a cold shower and changed into clean clothes. Because Yang Xian's four spiritual roots and five elements were short of water, this little cloud and rain spell was a bit weaker. Fortunately, a bath was enough.
For Yang Xian, he was just the lowest-ranked outer disciple of the Lingjian Sect, and he had the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots, so his qualifications for cultivating immortals were low. Because as a cultivator, spiritual roots are a necessary condition for cultivating immortals. Without spiritual roots, you cannot guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into your body, open up the immortal veins in your body, and you cannot practice Qi and immortal cultivation techniques. You can only become a mortal or follow the path of mortal body training.
Normally, spiritual roots are divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In addition, there are also other spiritual roots such as ice, wind, thunder, yin, and yang. The best spiritual root is a single spiritual root. This kind of spiritual root is the heavenly spiritual root, which is known as the darling of heaven. This single spiritual root qualification can easily feel the corresponding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and because it only absorbs one attribute The spiritual energy enters the body, is refined and absorbed quickly, and the purity of the spiritual energy is extremely high. It is as easy as a fish in water to open up the immortal veins in the body and break through bottlenecks. Although Tianling root cultivation has an advantage, Dou Fa is only good at a certain type of spiritual root attribute spells, and other attribute spells are extremely weak. This is because immortal cultivators who practice other spiritual root-type spells that do not have it are easily affected by a single spiritual root attribute. However, the heavenly spiritual root cultivators who practice the corresponding spiritual root spells are three points better than the ordinary immortal cultivators because of the high purity of the spiritual energy. It can be regarded as a gain and a loss! This kind of Tianlinggen qualification is rare in thousands of years.
Next, there are two kinds of spiritual roots, which are divided into associated spiritual roots and non-associated spiritual roots. The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Spiritual roots such as metal producing water, earth producing metal, etc. are associated spiritual roots. If they are associated spiritual roots, then the cultivation will be more Smoothly, if it is a non-associated spiritual root, it is not much different, but the emphasis is different. If there are opposing spiritual roots such as metal, wood, and water and fire, you need to have a dominant five-element practice method. For example, the metal and wood spiritual roots are mainly metal, or the water and fire spiritual roots are mainly fire, which inhibits the absorption and refining of the opposing wood spiritual energy or water spiritual energy. Although Hua is the two opposing spiritual roots, it only senses two kinds of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbs them into the body for refining and absorption, and the cultivation speed is also very fast, and it is easier to open the immortal veins.
Next is the Three Spiritual Roots. This type of spiritual root is relatively average. As long as it takes time, you can still feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and open up the immortal veins. It is neither very bad nor very good. The cultivation speed is also average, but the Three Spiritual Roots monk But it is the foundation of a sect. There are often more people with such spiritual roots. Such spiritual roots have greater cultivation value. As for the remaining four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots, they are the most common because the spiritual roots are mixed. , the spiritual energy that needs to be sensed is mixed, the slower the spiritual energy is absorbed, the longer it takes to open the immortal veins, and the slower the cultivation speed.
If you are a mortal, if you want to practice to become an immortal, you cannot open up the immortal veins. You can only take the path of body training, use body training techniques to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or nourish yourself with things containing spiritual energy, improve your physical quality, and gradually use spiritual energy to Open up the meridians throughout the body and enhance the body's potential. Physical training is extremely difficult and cumbersome, especially when it comes to breaking through bottlenecks in large realms, which requires more resources.
The resources invested in cultivating the body for immortality can be said to be astronomical. Low-level mortals who can cultivate the body for immortality can still manage to cultivate high-level immortal cultivators who have no spiritual roots. Perhaps even the legendary immortals cannot do anything because they are not in line with the way of heaven. , but I heard that there are treasures from heaven and earth that have acquired spiritual roots. I don’t know if they are legends or they actually exist.
For mortals with spiritual roots, in theory, no matter what kind of spiritual root qualifications they have, they can open up the immortal veins and practice to become immortals. Cultivation of immortals, cultivation of immortals, if you have spiritual roots and immortal veins, you can become an immortal through cultivation. You can also become immortals by cultivating spiritual beasts, spirits, monsters, ghosts, etc. However, theoretically speaking, those with good spiritual root qualifications can practice quickly. It takes several years or decades. It only takes time to cultivate and become good, and less resources are consumed at each cultivation stage and bottleneck. The cultivation speed of those with poor spiritual root qualifications is slow, and they will not be able to cultivate for decades or hundreds of years. It takes too long and consumes a lot of resources. Even if the immortal cultivator has a longer life span than ordinary mortals, it is not enough.
Generally speaking, the maximum lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi refining stage is about 120 years, the foundation stage is about 240 years, the golden elixir stage is about 800 years, and the overhaul in the Nascent Soul stage is about 1,600 years. As for the above Whether there is or not is not something Yang Xian can know at the moment.
The Qi refining period is divided into ten levels. Each level needs to open an immortal vein. Levels 1-3 are the initial stage of Qi refining and need to open the Tiantong Immortal Vein, Tianyin Immortal Vein and Tiancheng Immortal Vein. Levels 4-6 are for Qi refining. In the middle stage, you need to open up the Tianxuan Immortal Veins, Tianyin Immortal Veins, and Tianyang Immortal Veins. The 7th to 9th levels are the late stage of Qi Refining. You need to open up the Tianguang Immortal Veins, Tianxuan Immortal Veins, and Tiandu Immortal Veins. The 10th level is the Great Perfection. Also called half-step foundation building, it is necessary to open up the last divine vein. After the foundation is established, I heard that it is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection (the Great Perfection is also called half-step golden elixir, and the golden elixir stage is called half-step Nascent Soul). Breakthroughs in each stage will extend the overall lifespan. one tenth. For example, the lifespan of the Qi refining period is about 120 years, the mid-term breakthrough will be extended by 12 years to 132 years, and the later breakthrough will be 144 years. The Dzogchen breakthrough is generally included in the later realm, and the Dzogchen realm breakthrough will not increase the lifespan. , if there are elixirs that increase lifespan or are properly maintained, the lifespan can be appropriately extended. If the cultivator is injured or has his origin damaged, the lifespan will also be shortened.
Closer to home, Yang Xian has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots. Because the metallic spiritual roots are relatively prominent, he chose a single metallic technique "Jianyuan Zhenjie". Generally speaking, the cultivation methods of immortal cultivators will be biased toward one of their own. One spiritual root attribute is used to take advantage of it and speed up cultivation. Almost every immortal cultivator will choose this. Mortals who become immortals will generally choose multi-attribute or even non-attribute body training techniques to balance themselves to the greatest extent. Utilize resources containing auras of various attributes. In most cases, the end point of cultivating immortals for mortals who become immortals is basically the limit of the initial stage of body refining, which is the third level of body refining. Generally speaking, the third level of body refining is comparable to the third level of Qi refining monks, but the combat effectiveness of the same level of body refining monks is far greater than that of the third level Qi refining monks, because in the battle during the Qi refining period, physical fitness is extremely important.
Because mortals do not have spiritual roots as a medium for cultivation, they cannot rely on spiritual roots to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become immortals. They can only rely on external spiritual resources to supplement and strengthen them. Theoretically speaking, the third level of body refining is the limit that mortals can achieve. If you want Breaking through means going against the will of heaven. The difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck is extraordinary, ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times more difficult than that of a cultivator with spiritual roots.
In the early stage of Qi refining, Qi refining monks actually change the body's tendons and marrow to open up the immortal veins. It's just that the cultivation of ordinary people is not called the Yi Jing cutting marrow, but called refining the body to become an immortal. The gap is so big that it cannot be calculated. However, any immortal cultivator with spiritual roots can open up the immortal veins through cultivation and enter the Qi refining stage, because the first immortal vein is called Tiantong Immortal Vein, which is the immortal vein carried by those with spiritual roots, so every Any mortal with spiritual roots can cultivate immortality, and the follow-up cultivation of the immortal requires the use of spiritual energy to continuously open up other immortal veins. Different spiritual root qualifications can open up the immortal veins and the speed of cultivation will be different.
Yang Xian has four spiritual root qualifications and started practicing at the age of eight. Yang Xian is now 16 years old. Eight years have passed so far. He is still extremely lucky and hardworking. He is still willing to spend the spirit stone and this life and death adventure is incredible. Entering the middle stage of Qi refining.
The first step for a mortal with spiritual roots to cultivate immortality is to start practicing the skills to sense the Qi, sense the Heavenly Tong Immortal Veins, guide the spiritual energy into the Immortal Veins, and officially start the practice of Tiantong Immortal Veins. Because Yang Xian has four spiritual roots and is extremely weak in sensing spiritual energy, it took Yang Xian five months to successfully enter the first level of Qi refining by introducing the spiritual energy to open the Tiantong Immortal Veins. After opening the immortal veins, he introduced the spiritual energy into the body and started the first level of Qi Refining. Through practice, slowly open up the Tiantong Immortal Vein until it is completely opened. It took three years to complete this stage of practice. Then, it hits the second level of Qi Refining to successfully open the Tianyin Immortal Vein and enters the second level of Qi Refining, and then introduces spiritual energy to completely open the second one. Immortal Vein Tianyin Immortal Vein, the second level of Qi Refining took almost the same time as the first level of Qi Refining. It also took more than three years to continue to attack the third level of Qi Refining. Everything went well and the third Immortal Vein Tiancheng Immortal was opened. Once the pulse enters the third level of Qi Refining, the practice of opening up the Heavenly Immortal Veins begins. Before this sect mission, it took Yang Xian more than a year to open up the Tiancheng Immortal Vein, his third immortal vein, and it was still in its infancy. However, this speed of cultivation is already among the best among the miscellaneous spirit root monks. It is all thanks to Yang Xian's eight years of training. It is supported by completing sect tasks without interruption and obtaining resources.
After Yang Xian opened the Tiancheng meridians, according to the progress of his cultivation, if he did not encounter bottlenecks, he originally expected that it would take at least five years to open the Tianxuan Immortal Veins and break through to the middle stage of Qi refining. Unexpectedly, swallowing the dragon-marked spiritual grass after a life-and-death battle with the Dark Wind Snake turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It only took more than a year to open the Tianxuan Immortal Veins and enter the fourth level of Qi Refining. This is really great luck. Because once the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi refining is broken, entering the fifth and sixth levels of Qi refining is the process of continuous accumulation of spiritual energy. As long as you are willing to spend time and resources, it will be a matter of course, because as long as you accumulate enough, you will definitely be able to achieve it. , in fact, one of the important factors that restricts the improvement of the cultivation of immortals is the breakthrough of bottlenecks, so Tianlinggen, which has no bottleneck restrictions, is favored. There is a jingle: "The only way to succeed in cultivating immortals is to avoid the bottleneck." It can be seen from this that it is general.
The biggest difference between the middle stage of Qi refining and the early stage of Qi refining is that after the middle stage of Qi refining, you can release your sword energy and use your spiritual thoughts to control objects. In the early stage of Qi refining, your divine thoughts are 1 feet high and you can look inside the body. Even if you upgrade to the third level of Qi refining, your divine thoughts will It is only 2 feet, which does not meet the conditions for controlling objects with spiritual thoughts. Once it enters the middle stage of Qi refining, the spiritual thoughts can break through to 5 feet. From this distance, objects can be driven away and attacked, but it is only a very short-term driving away, and it is not practical in battle. If it's low, it's just a one-time deal. However, if you break through to the late stage of Qi refining, your spiritual thoughts can reach more than 10 feet, and you can attack objects like a fish in water. The sharp increase in spiritual thoughts and the amount of spiritual energy in the body in the late stage of Qi refining are completely enough for the immortal cultivator to carry out object-repelling attacks for a long time. After flying with a sword for a short time, once they enter the late stage of Qi refining, the overall strength of the cultivator will undergo a huge change. However, the bottleneck in the later stage of Qi refining also makes the immortal cultivators in the middle stage of Qi refining miserable.
Having said that, Yang Xian, who had broken through to the fourth level of Qi refining, was now in a very good mood. He slowly began to examine his current situation. After more than 8 years of practice, he entered the middle stage of Qi refining, and luck was a huge factor. Yang Xian understood that his qualifications were very poor, and he must not be arrogant or complacent. Only by taking every step steadily can he move forward in a higher direction, so Yang Xian took out a yellow orange from his storage bag. The elixir, this is the Bigu Pill, is made by mixing spiritual grains and elixirs. Taking one pill can guarantee that you will not eat or drink for half a month, so mortals always say that immortals drink wind and dew. This is just They just don’t understand the actual situation of cultivators. After taking Bigu Pill, Yang Xian suppressed the joy in his heart and began to practice to stabilize his cultivation.
Time passed like water. After three days of continuous practice, Yang Xian finally stabilized the cultivation level he had just broken through. After this breakthrough, the whole person has been reborn, his cultivation is stable in the middle stage of Qi refining, and he is already comprehending the art of controlling objects. The black iron sword issued by the sect finally has a use. The black iron sword issued by the sect is The most common inferior magic weapon given to outer disciples can also be regarded as a benefit for entry disciples.
It is very simple for cultivators to practice ordinary and popular object-controlling techniques. They have become proficient in it in just two hours. The black iron sword in Yang Xian's hand can be moved within 5 feet of his heart. If it is further away, the divine mind cannot reach it and he cannot control it well. After becoming proficient in the art of controlling objects, Yang Xian organized his storage bag. The space in the bag, which was a little more than one cubic meter, only contained the jade box of the eight-leaf dragon pattern spirit grass and some empty jade bottles. Only one jade bottle was still in stock, so It is a jade bottle containing Bigu Pills. There are ten pills in one bottle. After taking one pill this time and the ones eaten before, there are still 6 pills left. If eating Bigu Pills can make you die, then the jade bottle should be all empty. On one side of the jade bottle were several sets of gray outer disciples' clothes, as well as several useless talismans such as forbidden spirit talismans and dust-avoiding talismans. Finally, only a black iron sword was left lying quietly in a corner. This is Yang Xian's entire net worth.
In order to escape the pursuit of the Dark Wind Snake, all the usable talismans and elixirs have been exhausted, and the remaining spiritual stones have also been exhausted. Among them, spirit stones are the basic currency and can be used for transactions between immortal cultivators. Spirit stones are resources for cultivating immortals and are the lifelong pursuit of every cultivator, and Yang Xian is no exception. Because Yang Xian took over the sect's mission, in order to ensure safety, he spent almost all his spiritual stones on purchasing the rare life-saving talisman, the Small Earth Escape Talisman. This talisman is worth 22 low-grade spiritual stones, which is as much as the income of an outer sect disciple in two years. Yes, the outer disciples of Lingjian Sect can receive a spiritual stone monthly gift. In order to protect his own life and this sect mission, Yang Xian spent a lot of money.
