More than two months later, Li Qiao followed the family's flying boat back to the clan's territory.
Although he was already very disappointed with the prospect of cultivating immortals in his heart, Li Qiao still practiced again the night he returned to his clan.
I originally thought that it would be a little different after not practicing for two months, but the result was still the same as before, and the progress was slow.
Normally, you need to rest after practicing, but I couldn't sleep, so I took out the low-grade spiritual stone given by my father from my arms.
After thinking about it, Li Qiao directly began to try to absorb the spiritual energy in the low-grade spiritual stone. Absorbing it from the spiritual stone was much easier than practicing directly. It was very easy for Li Qiao to absorb a weak spiritual energy into his body.
This spiritual energy was much stronger than the spiritual energy he usually absorbed, but it was a little worse than the pure spiritual energy he had condensed.
Although the quality is good, the quantity is very small, and it feels like it’s gone as soon as you smoke it out.
I want to use the spiritual energy in this spiritual stone to try to warm and nourish the acupuncture points, but I can't get in even the little spiritual energy I absorb from my usual practice, let alone these?
After many failed attempts, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone can only linger in the meridians, because it has not reached the level of refined spiritual energy. Careful induction can reveal that part of this spiritual energy will dissipate every time.
After his attempt to use spirit stones to speed up his cultivation failed, Li Qiao was not disappointed. Instead, he thought that he was someone who had used spirit stones.
As for the spirit stone? Don’t be afraid to use this thing!
Monks and monsters can absorb spiritual energy for cultivation, and some elixirs can also grow based on spiritual energy. There are also some substances in the world that can absorb and store them, and spiritual stones are the most common and widespread among them.
Spiritual stones, also known as the essence of jade, can slowly absorb spiritual energy in an environment where spiritual energy exists. They are usually divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade according to their quality.
Because of this ability to absorb spiritual energy, once the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is used up, it can be restored after a period of time. The speed of recovery depends on the quality of the spiritual stone and the spiritual energy environment in which it is located.
Therefore, spirit stones have become the common currency of the world of immortality. If it were not for the ability of spirit stones to be used repeatedly, they would have long since disappeared in the long history of the world of immortality.
Therefore, Li Qiao didn't feel bad about using the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, and he had no intention of spending this low-grade spiritual stone.
As for why he would rather let this spiritual energy dissipate in the body than open new acupuncture points, it is because the practice strictly prohibits this.
As for why, Li Qiao didn't understand!
Acupoints and meridians are both integrated and relatively independent. Warming and nourishing acupoints is also a process that is separate from and unified with the meridians. If you start warming and nourishing the next acupoint before successfully warming one acupoint, it is easy for the acupoints to block the meridians.
Legend has it that in ancient times, many techniques for warming and nourishing acupuncture points throughout the body were circulated and became very popular. As a result, most monks in the world of immortality at that time had so-called bottlenecks during the Qi training period. The way to advance was to open up the acupoints of blocked meridians. , and then perform a weekly cycle.
In fact, their process of opening up the acupuncture points is to warm and nourish the acupuncture points, which only makes one thing more difficult.
The result of this incident is that most monks who practice in this way have limited achievements.
First of all, the speed of cultivation has been delayed a lot. Secondly, many monks have become accustomed to taking various realm-breaking elixirs, which accumulates a large amount of erysipelas in the body. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the impact.
Even in some corners of the world of immortality cultivation, this technique still remains popular among some monks.
This is also the benefit of a family that has a long history of cultivating immortals. Even if you just pick out a basic popular technique, you can avoid some of the big pitfalls that are popular in the world of cultivating immortals.
"I don't see you coming out usually. Are you still practicing?" A few days later, Li Qiao met another young man, Li Chenggong, who had chosen to accept the spirit like him.
Like him, this person chose to cultivate on impulse. After discovering that the speed of cultivation was very slow, the two of them also had a brief chat, but it was only half a pound and eight ounces, and no one could help the other.
"It's already like this, why don't you practice? It's also good to practice Qi on the first and second levels!"
Li Qiao heard that the other party meant to give up cultivation, or even gave up cultivation, but he didn't want to.
"Level 1 or 2 of Qi training?" After Li Chenggong said these words, a self-deprecating expression flashed across his face, and then he asked: "What is the biggest difference between monks and mortals in your opinion?"
"One can fly, one can't." It didn't say that the difference was whether one could cultivate spiritual energy, or the length of one's lifespan. This was the boy.
"Do you have a hundred spirit stones?" the other party asked again.
"No!"
"It was only after I returned home that I realized I was wrong. To be able to fly, a monk must have spiritual consciousness. If you want to have divine consciousness, you must either reach the foundation building stage and naturally form true spiritual consciousness, or you must take Qiling during the Qi training period. Dan, forming secondary consciousness.
If you can't afford the Ling Qi Pill, one hundred spirit stones, you can only have spiritual consciousness after your cultivation reaches the foundation level. Without divine consciousness, you can't fly even with a flying sword..."
After this conversation, both of them were a little quiet. After a while, Li Qiao asked, "Have you given up?"
"What kind of monk is he without spiritual consciousness? I give up!" After a moment of pause, Li Chenggong continued: "The family does not approve of reaching the second level of Qi training, and the fourth level of Qi training is not something that family members like you and me can achieve. Yes, it’s not worth spending so much time.”
Although his words were categorical and his emotions were clear, standing face to face, Li Qiao still saw something glistening in the other person's eyes.
Although Li Qiao didn't say much on the surface, his various experiences since practicing cultivation made these words the straw that broke the camel's back.
Although I knew the result in my heart, there was always a trace of fantasy in my heart, and now, this fantasy was shattered by the real words of another teenager in the same situation.
Perhaps thinking of saving it, Li Qiao dug out the mysterious cold stone that he had buried before.
After being fine for such a long time, he wasn't as worried as he was at the beginning. He thought that this might be something for monks and might help him practice.
But after trying this thing, no use has been found to help improve his cultivation. However, its somewhat cold temperature is very suitable for Li Qiao's cultivation situation at this time and is suitable for the situation.
Is that it? accept the truth? After decades of practicing in the clan, you can reach the first level of Qi training, and then you may be promoted to the second level of Qi training when you are old and weak.
Thinking this way in my heart, I feel somewhat unwilling to do so.
If you are a dying old man, you can accept the reality calmly, but a teenager in his teens sometimes doesn't know what the world is and what the world is.
Although practicing this technique is not a dead end, it is almost like a dead end. The techniques are all written down. Since this book is not suitable for me and I have no way to obtain other techniques, why not try to change it?
It’s already like this anyway, why not give it a try?
