In Zhao Qing's view, since this method of using demonic energy to improve one's skills can be used in evil ways to harm people, it can also be used on the right path. Appropriate methods can be adopted to reduce its harm and transform intelligent demonic species into It is a "spiritual root" without intelligence, similar to Dantian.
The vitality life of demonic energy is most likely only equivalent to the level of microorganisms. Because the "Dao Xin Demon Planting Technique" allows it to imitate and copy the soul, group consciousness appears. As long as the cultivation method is not biased towards this, in theory, it is completely It allows a small amount of demonic energy to symbiosis with the human body and be controlled by the person.
Just like those "ghost cavalry" in front of us, even a ray of demonic energy has an almost innate state, and can be "shared" with others. When the number is sufficient and sublimated, it is not a big problem to enter the unity of heaven and man. ;
Therefore, if demonic energy can be used as the characteristic of vitality life to cultivate the so-called "spiritual root" and fully combined with it, a new martial arts practitioner can sense the existence of vitality in advance, and even do not need to practice the inner strength of the true energy. To the point where he can directly control the vitality of heaven and earth, he has changed from an orthodox warrior to a cultivator of immortality in his previous life.
The more feasible method of cultivating "spiritual roots" is undoubtedly a large-scale deletion, modification and simplification of the original "The Great Method of Planting Demons", which makes it lose the possibility of giving birth to consciousness of demonic energy, and at the same time greatly reduces the difficulty of getting started, making it easier to get started. A considerable number of acquired warriors have the ability to successfully cultivate.
However, considering the astonishing difficulty of "The Great Technique of Planting Demons", which only one person among tens of millions of people has the qualifications to master, I am afraid that after simplification, it is still far from being accessible to ordinary people. Geniuses who can get started may not necessarily need the bonus effect of "spiritual roots" , it seems a bit tasteless.
If it can be regarded as an inner elixir cultivation method according to "The Great Method of Planting Demons", then it should be possible to refine a special "spiritual root" elixir based on the characteristics of the inner elixir and enter it into the body by taking it and refining it. feasible.
Simulating Xiaoyaozi's meridian transplantation method, cultivating and selecting demonic energy with a high degree of fit and inputting it into the body, after going through complex guidance and thousands of iterations, it is integrated with a small number of tissue cells, and then extended to a larger range. It is equivalent to a long-term "surgery", which is not a problem in theory.
However, both methods need to be presided over by people with extremely advanced cultivation. The former is a master of alchemy and the latter is a master of medicine. They are also difficult to promote on a large scale and have great limitations.
Therefore, compared to starting with a "spiritual root" cultivator, Zhao Qing is more inclined to cultivate special demonic life, so that it has the ability and tendency to enter the human body and symbiosis with it, similar to how certain germs infect people. There is no harm in the end, but a beneficial situation.
At that time, in theory, as long as a highly contagious "Vital Virus Epidemic" is created, all ordinary people in the world can obtain "spiritual roots" and enter the era of universal immortality from the era of martial arts.
Considering that basically the same "spiritual root" has different compatibility in different people, just like the intestinal environment will affect the number and type of symbiotic flora, it is best to develop several "vital energy" with different preferences. "Epidemic" to prevent some people from being too in tune with a specific "epidemic" and having difficulty sensing their "spiritual roots".
As for the exact location of the spiritual root, according to Zhao Qing's deduction, its main part should be located at the life and death orifice in the Dantian, which is called the Huiyin point in traditional Chinese medicine and the life and death root and Xuwei point in alchemy practice. , Guigenqiao, the location of Fumingguan.
Dantian is the sea of qi, which is subdivided into four heavens. The top level is the Huangting, followed by the Golden Furnace, Qi Cave and the Guan Yuan at the bottom which leads directly to the seminal vesicle or uterus. The life and death orifice refers to the air cave. If the air moves within it, it becomes the life and death orifice. Otherwise, it is just an ordinary air cave.
The cultivation of demonic energy requires a large amount of life and death energy. As the intersection point of the changing energy of life and death in the whole body, where the three meridians of Ren Du Chong originate and the total source of the eight extraordinary meridians, the "life and death orifice" is the natural source of evil energy. The petri dish, and the center where the cultivator relies on the "spiritual root" to inhale and refine the vitality of heaven and earth, then stores it and disperses it into the meridians.
As it is said in "Eight Meridians of Qi Jing": "Mortals have these eight meridians, and they all belong to Yin and God. They are closed but not opened. Only gods can open them with Yang Qi, so they can achieve the Tao. The eight meridians are the roots of the innate Dao. , the ancestor of Yiqi. Only when it is collected in Yin first, then this channel will move and all the channels will be connected." Therefore, it is called "always the source of the creation of meridians";
Because "it is connected to the mud pills at the top and the springs at the bottom. If you can understand this and make the true energy gather and disperse, all of them will be closed from this point, then the gates of heaven will always be open and the doors of the earth will always be closed. The Ji meridians flow all over the body, connecting up and down, harmonizing the qi." In the morning, the yang grows and the yin disappears, fire blooms in the water, flowers bloom in the snow, the so-called Tiangen Yue Cave is leisurely coming and going, and the thirty-six palaces are all spring."
…
As far as Zhao Qing knows, there are more than 100,000 types of vitality in the world, and they have many different properties. They can be subdivided into general categories through mental induction. The finer the division, the harder it is to perceive. Therefore, for ordinary practitioners, Only describe in broad categories.
For example, the golden energy used in Dream Citation and "Heavenly Soldiers Refining Form and Entraining Method" is actually not an ordinary metal energy, but a relatively rare and high-quality essence energy with a touch of spirituality. The full name is "Qiantian is endowed with golden energy", if there are no suitable breeding conditions, even a single ray of the vitality of billions of square meters of gold will not come out.
There are subdivisions of major and minor categories of vitality. Substances similar to the same chemical formula can also have hundreds of variations due to allotropes, isotopes, etc., and generally speaking, the most widespread one is the general Five Elements. Although Yuan Qi has various internal subdivisions, it can all be integrated under the five major categories of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Therefore, similar to the spiritual root system in books such as "The Biography of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality", Zhao Qing is also planning to design a series of Five Elements Spiritual Roots that are biased towards the Five Elements' vitality, as well as yin-yang, light and darkness, wind and thunder and other types of spiritual roots, which are biased towards different This is achieved through the aggregation of demonic energy in the vitality category.
Speaking of which, since "spiritual roots" reduce the requirements for spiritual realm and spiritual cultivation when sensing the vitality of heaven and earth, it is not suitable for absorbing mixed vitality. Otherwise, the five elements will conflict with each other and affect the progress of cultivation. In other words, in the early stage of practice, it is best if a certain spiritual root is particularly prominent.
Theoretically speaking, the so-called "single spirit root", the vitality breathed out has been screened by attributes, the purity will be higher, the accuracy of controlling the vitality will be slightly higher, and it will be easier to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation. In essence, It’s almost the same reason as internal strength and mental methods are generally incompatible.
Practitioners who are not particularly outstanding among the various "spiritual roots" and who are generally evenly distributed do not need to worry about lagging behind others. If they can reach a higher level in spiritual and mental cultivation, they can sense different vitality and add it. Screening and smoothing, making positive use of the reaction between the vitality, and in turn surpassing the former.
Generally speaking, cultivators under this spiritual root system have lower requirements for mind cultivation than martial arts in this world. In the early and middle stages, the degree of absorption and utilization of vitality is increased, the lower limit of combat power and the diversity of methods are increased. It is a clear winner, but the difference in the upper limit is not big, and it is still affected by one's own talent and understanding;
The main advantage is that it provides a guarantee of an almost innate state for those with ordinary martial arts qualifications, and can forcibly upgrade a large number of people to a higher state through the accumulation of resources. When Zhao Qing explores in the main world or the new world, time, you can quickly harvest a group of passable subordinates.
Of course, the above is a pure idea. If such a "spiritual root" can be cultivated, the difficulty of communicating with the "spiritual root" and using it to practice will not be lower than that of normal martial arts, and there will be no advantage. If so, it would have gone astray, and her detailed verification test would definitely be needed.
However, in her opinion, the potential ability of vitality life is far more than just the cultivation of "spiritual roots". A "vitality epidemic" can give people the birth of "spiritual roots", sense the vitality of heaven and earth, and can also make people cultivate deeply. Their true energy was scattered and their skills were greatly lost, similar to Xiang Yutian's current poisoning situation.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Qi refining in the main world is not very popular in various countries. Qi refining practitioners basically stay in the deep mountains and old forests, and almost all the army practices the strength system?
After all, because the Gang Qi field cultivated by Jin Li is highly resistant to interference, the power mainly comes from one's own body and is not affected much by external vitality. It will not cause a decline in cultivation due to infection with "vital energy disease".
As for the technology of creating "Vital Disease", although Zhao Qing has only heard of it in his own place, there are countless people with astonishing cultivation in the main world, and some of them can develop such epidemics or even more terrifying "Law Diseases". "Plague of Tao" was not something beyond her expectation.
Speaking of which, Zhao Qing heard that King Chu Zhao, who had reached the "Six Qi" level, could actually fall seriously ill and die like ordinary people. If it weren't for a great wizard cursing him from a distance, it might have really verified the effects of certain high-level diseases. Existence... The water in the main world seems to be much deeper than she originally imagined.
…
In just the blink of an eye, Zhao Qing roughly understood the current situation and found out that the men controlled by the evil spirits were mainly masters of the Huihe Daming Zunjiao, Jiubu Sect, Moxiang Sect and other forces, as well as a large number of people who had been planted The Huihe Jingqi of inferior demon species.
To be honest, when he first learned about the existence of this evil spirit from Yutian, Zhao Qing's attitude was more towards communication and cooperation. After all, he did not see any grudge between the other party and him, and he had never seen the evil spirit. He really did something evil.
But when she sensed the hundreds of death imps with ferocious expressions floating around Xiang Yutian, Zhao Qing immediately understood that intelligent life forms with group consciousness such as demon species were very similar to the Zerg in previous lives. He is almost absolutely rational and extremely self-interested, and does not care about the casualties of ordinary people.
The so-called mourning imp refers to the corpse poison of a minor who died ten days after the death, and mixed it with twelve kinds of toxins extracted from herbal medicine, and then refined it multiple times to cultivate a poison. A kind of ghost that can carry poison into the body.
As early as a few months ago, Ling Longjiao, an important member of the Persian Ming Dynasty Zunjiao who was exiled in the Central Plains, presented secret scriptures such as the "Wisdom Sutra on the Origin of All Dharmas" and "Yao Wang Sutra" that were more complete than what Wang Shichong knew, in which this was recorded. A strange Western poison involving ghosts.
There is no doubt that even after the improvement of evil spirits, releasing so many dead ghosts at one time must not only use normal children who died young, but also included a large number of children who were forced to die young and committed bloody crimes. .
Relying on the effect of the death poison mixed with another kind of clutch powder, even though Xiang Yutian can forcibly suppress the corpse energy in the poisonous mist with Yang Qi protection for a while, as long as he is not careful, the corpse poison will quickly It soaked into his bone marrow and turned him into a "living corpse". It was really a rare poison in the world.
He also set up various schemes and developed the effect of controlling and strengthening the possession of demonic energy. He upgraded a group of original super masters to a skill comparable to that of top masters. In a short period of time, they became no less powerful than the combined power of Buddhism and Taoism. power;
The growth potential of the evil spirit can be seen from this. Even if it relies on the supernatural power of ancient jade, as well as the profound heritage of Xie Tiao's leftover memories, such a talent is probably similar to his own. No wonder a few A recent threat threatened Xiang Yutian's life.
Of course, even if he is ambushed by evil spirits, as a former number one person in the world who has practiced cultivation for more than two hundred years, Xiang Yutian naturally does not have no hidden trump cards, and he has mastered many explosive secret techniques with less risk.
Just relying on the "Purple Blood Dao Body" he cultivated can give him amazing physical strength and recovery power, giving him a great advantage when fighting with the enemy. The "Ghost Cavalry" cannot effectively join forces to attack. Under this situation, a single weapon cannot even break through the defense.
…
When she observed the actions of the "Ghost Cavalry" under the lone rock and sensed its state of being controlled by demonic energy, so as to advance the research on "spiritual root cultivation" and obtain inspiration, she seemed to have received instructions issued remotely by the evil spirit. , three to four hundred enemies who had not been overturned by the air wave began to launch the first wave of attacks.
In an instant, the sound of hundreds of connected winds resounded through the entire stone forest. In the dark night, a very dazzling bloody halo circled and cut through the night sky, integrating with the chains connected by ring-shaped energy. It surged into a sagittal shape and stabbed straight in the direction of Zhao Qing.
Under the guidance of Daming Zunjiao as the main force and the control of demonic energy, each of these ghost cavalry is extremely good at the method of joint attack, and through the "bloody hand" luck that they are good at, they have reached an astonishing situation, just like throwing a ball together. He created a spear that was so heavy that no one could confront it head-on.
This was more than the combined blow of hundreds of innate skills in the ordinary sense, and Zhao Qing really had no intention of taking it head-on.
As if she didn't take this majestic bloody spear to heart at all, she just swayed slightly, and suddenly there were a few slender silk threads that seemed to have electric light dancing in her hand, and they were fixed on an ice frame. On the piano body, there is the sound of plucked strings. Even though it is separated by heavy air waves, the sound of the piano is still loud and clear, and the artistic conception is high.
Because he didn't bring the magic weapon with him when he went out, Zhao Qing made full use of the remaining materials for refining the magic weapon and used thunder scale iron to build a guqin that concealed the killing power. Integrated into the sound of the piano;
At the same time, she also looked at the experimental subject with eyes, calmly observing the enemy's thoughts of attack, in order to try to figure out the thoughts of the evil spirit behind it, track the specific location where it is hiding, and target it. The inner changes of demonic energy further deduced the "spiritual root" system.
Although even in the eyes of top experts, the move of locking rings into chains and gathering energy has reached the point of perfection, and each energy ring has reached the peak performance of an innate expert, Zhao Qing was still in an instant , aware of the lack of tight coordination of blood energy in the darkness.
Sure enough, thousands of pseudo-innate beings are the limit of evil spirits' control, just as the consciousness intensity of Xiang Yutian's level is only thousands of times that of ordinary people. Although the opponent's ability is weird and difficult to deal with, it is still an embarrassing blow when encountering real violence.
The faint sound of silk strings seemed to be there or not, lingering like a dream in the stone forest that should have been drowned by the ghost wind. In an instant, it aroused millions of silver snakes and golden snakes of thunder, spreading and extending to the Shita Valley. every gap in between.
