Huang and Lu exclaimed in surprise. Zhao Lin felt a little nervous and couldn't help but ask: "Two Taoist priests, what are the attributes of Zhao's spiritual root?"
Huang Zhuosong nodded and said: "A lot!"
Then he explained: "Ordinary monks usually have two or three types of spiritual root attributes, and the rare ones only have one. Six-attribute spiritual roots like the Duke of Guo are extremely rare."
Zhao Lin then asked: "Is it good or bad?"
Huang Zhuosong laughed when he heard this, "Of course it's a good thing! Each attribute has its own spells. The more spiritual root attributes you have, the wider the spells you can practice."
"For example, refining elixirs and refining weapons requires fire spiritual roots, and surveying spiritual veins requires earth spiritual roots. Without water spiritual roots, you cannot be a spiritual planter."
Lu Qing also smiled and said: "The Duke also has three spiritual roots of wind, ice and thunder, which are the dreams of many monks."
"That's good."
Zhao Lin thought that too many spiritual root attributes would affect his cultivation, but he felt relieved after hearing what the two said.
At this time, Huang Zhuosong and Lu Qing stopped talking and looked at Zhao Lin in unison.
The meaning is obvious. The two have stated their identities and intentions, hoping that Zhao Lin will agree to join the Chenghua Sect.
The reason why they are so eager is not because they are worried that Zhao Lin will not agree to practice Taoism. After all, no one can refuse the temptation of immortality.
It's because the two men's garrison period is about to expire, and they will return to the sect to report on their duties in a few months.
If you can introduce a martial artist like Zhao Lin into the sect, the rewards you will receive will be quite generous.
If Zhao Lin is not in a hurry and spends a year and a half in this world, then this "peach" will be picked by others.
Zhao Lin also fell silent, his thoughts changing.
Although I have been searching for the way to immortality since the beginning of time travel, and I really want to agree in my heart, but...every time there is a big event, you need to be calm, and there are a few things that you must be clear about.
"I would like to ask you two, what is the number of lifespans of a person who practices Taoism? Can he live forever?"
Hearing this question, Huang and Lu both laughed.
Huang Zhuosong quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "That's a good question, Duke! When we practice Taoism, don't we just want freedom and immortality?"
"However, the longevity of a monk is closely related to his cultivation level and cannot be generalized."
"The martial arts realm is divided into the powerful realm, the Qi realm, the blood realm, the Yuan realm and the innate realm. The same is true for cultivating the Tao. It is divided into five realms: Qi refining, foundation building, purple mansion, golden elixir, and spirit transformation."
"As long as you enter the realm of Qi refining, your lifespan can reach around 120 years. If you reach the advanced stage of Qi refining, your lifespan can reach 150 years."
Zhao Lin thought to himself that he was innate in martial arts and had a lifespan of 120 years, while Qi refining could only live up to 150 years, which did not increase much. It seemed that this state was far from enough.
Huang Zhuosong continued: "When you enter the Foundation Establishment realm, your lifespan starts at two hundred. When you reach the later stage of Foundation Establishment, your lifespan is extended to about three hundred years."
"After the foundation is established, the Zi Mansion can live up to six hundred years!"
When he said this, a smile appeared on his face, "The Duke must have heard it. Every time you advance to a higher realm, your life span will increase exponentially."
"So the lifespan of a Golden Core monk is about 1,200 years old, and if the lifespan of a monk in the form of a god is doubled, it can reach 2,400, 500 years old."
More than two thousand years old...
After hearing this, Zhao Lin's heart skipped a beat, his eyes flashed, and he asked: "Is there a higher realm after becoming a god?"
Huang Zhuosong didn't take it seriously at all, and replied with a smile: "Of course there is, but transforming into gods and gods is already a half-step immortal. If you continue to cultivate, you will leave Xuanyuan Continent and go to the unknown immortal world."
"The unknowable fairyland?"
Zhao Lin muttered softly, thinking that there are levels between worlds. Xuanyuan Continent is a higher level than this world, but there is a higher level world above it.
Huang Zhuosong saw that Zhao Lin had not expressed his position for a long time and asked tentatively: "Do you have anything else you want to ask? Our Chenghua Sect is a sect with a long history in Xuanyuan Continent. It has thousands of Taoist teachings and a profound foundation. It is the best place to cultivate Taoism and seek immortality." select."
Zhao Lin thought silently, in this world, he was a famous martial arts master, but when he got there, he was just a newcomer who had just started to practice, and he could not control anything.
Is it dangerous to enter Chenghua Sect?
Will he be reduced to a coolie or cannon fodder?
From the conversation just now, it is not difficult to guess that introducing himself into the sect will be beneficial to the two of them, so naturally everything will be good.
There was a great war in Xuanyuan Continent a thousand years ago, and more than half of the Chenghua Sect monks were lost, and they are still recuperating until now...
I'm afraid it may not be safe now. What if I go and be sent directly to the battlefield?
There is a saying that goes well, you care about other people's interests, but others care about your strengths.
I want to cultivate immortality, but the prerequisite is to ensure safety.
However, Zhao Lin did not ask directly, which seemed careless and easy to be led astray.
Ask a melon seller whether the melons are sweet, and you will always get only one answer.
"Two Taoist priests, our Xingyun Sect has a senior named Lu Yuanxiu, who became the Wuzong more than a hundred years ago. As far as I know, after he reached the Wuzong, he traveled around the world. Did he also join the Chenghua Sect?"
Lu Yuanxiu was an amazingly talented person and was the youngest martial arts sect before Zhao Lin. If he did not have a satisfactory life in the Chenghua sect or even passed away, then he should be considered carefully.
After asking this question, Zhao Lin picked up the tea cup and put it to his lips.
The Adam's apple vibrated at high speed, emitting ultrasonic waves to monitor the heartbeat, breathing, and blood flow rate of the two people.
When a person is nervous when lying, his heartbeat and blood flow speed up, and his breathing is different from usual.
At such a close distance, Zhao Lin was confident in identifying whether the two men were lying.
Huang Zhuosong thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Senior Lu Yuanxiu is indeed in our Chenghua Sect and currently serves as an elder in the sect."
Zhao Lin asked again: "What is the level of cultivation of Senior Lu?"
Huang Zhuosong replied: "Purple Mansion Realm."
Zhao Lin frowned slightly. He had no idea about the realm of cultivation and instinctively corresponded to the realm of martial arts.
Zifu corresponds to the blood realm, which doesn't seem to be very high.
Huang Zhuosong saw Zhao Lin's thoughts and quickly explained: "The Duke is unaware of this. It is extremely difficult for monks to break through."
"Take the Qi Refining Realm as an example. Less than 1% of people can reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the further you go, the harder it becomes!"
"Even with the size of Chenghua Sect, there are very few monks in the Purple Mansion Realm."
Zhao Lin secretly observed the other party's speech and behavior, and found that Huang Zhuosong's expression was calm when he spoke, and there were no abnormalities in his heartbeat and breathing. Knowing that what he said was generally true, he continued to ask.
"Let me ask you two more. I have a good friend named Liang Song who suddenly disappeared a few years ago. He wrote me a letter before he disappeared. The letter was full of mist and there were many unfinished words."
"Now that I think about it, he probably entered the Chenghua Sect. Do you two know his current situation?"
"Liang Song?"
Huang Zhuosong and Lu Qing shook their heads at the same time, obviously they had never heard of this name.
Lu Qing asked: "I wonder in which year he disappeared?"
Zhao Lin thought about it for a moment and said, "It was the nineteenth year of Yuan Xi, six years ago."
"That's no wonder!"
Huang Zhuosong smiled and said: "Six years ago, the two of us didn't come to this world to station. It was probably the previous stationed monk who introduced him to the sect, so we didn't know him."
"After six years, this monk Liang should have graduated from Lingdao Academy."
Zhao Lin's expression moved slightly, "Lingdao Academy?"
Lu Qing said: "Yes. When monks enter the sect, they must first practice Taoism in the Spiritual Dao Temple for three to five years. Only after mastering the skills and spells of the sect can they actually start working in the sect."
Sounds like a good idea...
Zhao Lin thought that this would allow him to practice with peace of mind for at least a few years and have a smooth transition.
But then I thought about it, why didn't Liang Song tell him clearly when he left?
Does it mean that to cultivate immortality, one must cut off the seven emotions and cut off the six desires?
Thinking of this, Zhao Lin raised this question.
Huang Zhuosong smiled indifferently, "I guess your good friend doesn't want to cut off the friendship, but because he can't reveal his cultivation of immortality to you."
"That's why I wrote vague words and left without saying goodbye."
Zhao Lin's expression softened, "What the Taoist Master means is that the matter of cultivating immortals cannot be disclosed to others?"
"Of course not."
Huang Zhuosong said flatly, "Everyone envy those who cultivate immortality, and everyone wants to be a god."
"If ordinary people know that you can cultivate immortality, they will not care that you need spiritual roots to achieve immortality. From the princes to the common people, everyone will be thinking about how to cultivate immortality all day long."
"The only result is that hypocrisy is rampant, troubled times occur frequently, the country will be destroyed, and people's livelihood will be in ruins!"
Huang Zhuosong's eyes were burning and he said word by word: "In fact, a long time ago, Chenghua Sect did not hide the cultivation of Taoism from these nine small worlds. This was the result. Later, they had to strictly order the stationed monks to keep the secret."
The mystery in Zhao Lin's mind was solved, and he finally understood why several Xiantian realm seniors in the sect kept this matter secret. Unexpectedly, it was because of this reason.
About realm: The realm in this book is somewhat different from the traditional mortal flow. I originally wanted to use a brand new name, but considering the reading cost and everyone's acceptance, I still use the traditional setting.
In my mind, the golden elixir is basically the top combat power. The gap between foundation building and the golden elixir is too big, so I added a purple mansion.
After the golden elixir, there is only one transformation left in the realm, and there is no need to upgrade level by level. As a result, the golden elixir is bullish in the beginning, and becomes like a dog in the later stage.
