In the year of Yichou, on the third day of the second lunar month, at Mao hour, Jun Guan School
All the three hundred or so students who entered school this spring stood neatly in a square with lush green grass.
These schoolchildren, a total of 156 boys and 149 girls, are divided into five groups and stand in the shape of a large five-pointed star.
Geng Supervisor stood on a high platform in front, his eyes coldly scanning below. When he spotted Yang Zhen and Zhao Yuer, his eyes couldn't help but stay for a moment.
He had no good impressions of Yang Zhen and even hated her, but he would never dare to do the same to Zhao Yue'er.
Not only because of the little girl's Zifu family background, but also because of her qualifications.
In the entire Xu Kingdom, it takes an average of five years for a single spirit root to appear. This time, it actually landed in Zhuyang County. It landed on this little girl. How could he not be happy and excited?
The length of schooling for each class of students in Junguan is two years. Two years later, the best two thousand schoolchildren from seventy-two counties in the world gathered together to compete for the four hundred places to enter the sect. Naturally, there was a competitive mentality among them.
Zhuyang County now has a genius with a single spiritual root, and his performance will definitely be the same when the time comes, and he may even be able to feel proud.
Therefore, he was not bored with the little girl at all, and was even eager to keep her as an offering.
As for Yang Zhen, her one-inch-long spiritual roots are nothing more than the fire of a firefly compared to others.
Beside Geng Prison, at the highest point of the high platform, stood the kind-faced Chief Yuan Shan.
He looked at the group of children below and nodded with satisfaction.
Junguan School is not big. As the head of the mountain, Chief Yuan Shan is in charge of teaching. This is his first lecture at the beginning of the school year, so he naturally has to do his part.
He cleared his throat and spoke slowly:
"Yesterday, you all paid homage to the founder of my Yunxiao Sect. From now on, you are a member of our Yunxiao Sect. You will also get the permission of your ancestor to learn the skills of our Yunxiao Sect..."
"What I teach you today is the "Yunxiao Qi Movement Technique". This is the technique that my ancestor practiced when he first entered the immortal world. After thousands of years, after many revisions, additions and deletions, the technique has become more and more perfect. Now I am Yunxiao. The cultivation method that every entry-level disciple of the sect must learn..."
"If you want to achieve greatness, you must introduce Qi into the body, refine your own essence, penetrate the meridians, circulate the heavens, refine the impurities in the body, and strengthen the meridians and the body..."
"To introduce Qi into the body, the first step is to sense the spiritual energy. The first thing you will learn today is the [Induction Chapter] of this technique. The key points are as follows..."
Yuan Shanchang's voice was not loud and his speech was steady, but even the children farthest away from him could hear him clearly.
His explanations are easy to understand, and even children who have never been to school can understand them clearly.
"... Close your eyes slightly, relax your whole body, keep your mind clear and your eyes clean, keep your mind on your Dantian, and look inside your internal organs..."
As he recited the mantra, every child in the square slowly closed their eyes and started moving one by one.
…
Yang Zhen stood on the lower left side of the five-pointed star. Nearby were several members of the Zhao family, including Zhao Yuzhu and a boy named Zhao Lian.
Zhao Lian is the class monitor among the 31 children in Geng Zhai. This was an appointment just made by Chief Bai Sheng last night.
Among the three hundred children in Shuyang County this time, except for Zhao Yue'er who has a single spiritual root, there are 14 with three spiritual roots, and the others have four or five spiritual roots. As for double spiritual roots, on average there is only one child in every thousand children with spiritual roots, and there is not one in Shuyang County this time.
Therefore, Zhao Lian was appointed as the squad leader by Bai Sheng without any suspense based on his qualifications and Zhao's background.
In accordance with the requirements of the exercise, Yang Zhen closed her eyes slightly, focusing on her Dantian while looking at her liver.
He can't absorb spiritual energy now, lest his spiritual roots solidify and stop growing, but there is no problem in sensing spiritual energy.
The inner view of the internal organs in the formula differs from person to person. For people like Zhao Yuer and Yang Zhen who already know the attributes of their spiritual roots, there will be no mistakes in this one. They can just choose to look at the internal organs to which their spiritual roots belong. For example, Zhao Yue'er needs to look at the location of the kidneys. Kidneys belong to water. Yang Zhen is the place of the liver, and the liver belongs to wood.
As for those four or five spiritual roots, it is impossible to determine which spiritual root is the main direction of cultivation. It takes many trials and errors to find the most suitable spiritual root for you.
Because the spiritual root does not mean whichever root is the longest during the test must be the most suitable for you.
Although there is the word "root" in the name of spiritual root, there is no such thing in the body. It is invisible, parasitic on the five internal organs, and occurs throughout the body.
According to Yang Zhen's understanding, she prefers to think of it as a microorganism, or a substance similar to hemoglobin.
This "microorganism" is activated because of the heaven and earth formation. It is divided into five types, corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in aura.
The naturally existing spiritual energy in the world of immortality is composed of the five series of spiritual energy. When the spiritual roots absorb the spiritual energy, they also sense it according to the corresponding attributes.
For example, wood-type spiritual roots sense the wood-type part of every trace of spiritual energy, thereby absorbing the entire spiritual energy, capturing it, taking it into the body, and refining it.
However, the five attributes of external spiritual energy are not exactly the same. Their approximate proportional relationship is:
Water: Earth: Wood: Fire: Metal = 3:3:15:15:1
Therefore, for a monk with five spiritual roots, if his longest spiritual root is of the wood type, it is four inches long; his second longest spiritual root is of the water type, which is a little over two inches long.
Can you say that the best spiritual root for him to cultivate is the wood system? I'm not sure, maybe the water system is more suitable and can be practiced faster.
…
Yang Zhen emptied her whole body, and while continuing to run the magic formula, she focused on her liver.
After an unknown amount of time, a subtle green light suddenly lit up in the liver, like a spark, lighting up the entire body.
He hurriedly followed the requirements of the technique, and with his mind focused, he sensed countless stars in an instant. Everywhere is shining with faint green starlight, and small green light spots are circling and dancing, as if entering the world of fireflies.
This is the aura that exists everywhere in this world!
This is how countless immortal cultivators cleanse their marrow and body, refine their energy and transform into gods, and even achieve greatness and pursue immortality——
Reiki!
At this time, if she followed the requirements of the "Yunxiao Qi Movement Jue", Yang Zhen should continue to recite the technique silently, run the exercises in her body, absorb these starlights, and then introduce them into the body for practice.
But he couldn't do this. He stopped at this step and continued to sense the spiritual energy, as if he was chasing the beating elves.
This feeling was very wonderful. These auras with a slightly cool plant flavor enveloped him, making him feel as if his whole body was radiating endless vitality!
This must be the power of the wood element, he thought quietly.
…
"Take it!" A powerful voice sounded, it was Yuan Shanchang.
All the schoolchildren opened their eyes, stopped sensing, and looked at the mountain chief on the high platform, waiting for his next order.
ps: This chapter is about the practice of martial arts, as well as some of my own settings for spiritual roots and spiritual energy. It was a bit laborious to write, but I felt pretty good after finishing it.
I wonder what you think of comparing spiritual roots to microorganisms?
