"Actually, I don't have any so-called mentorship!"
Cao An nodded and did not interrupt.
"He is just a fisherman who got lucky. When he was a child, he studied in a private school in the village for several years and knew a few words. He was lucky enough to get this thing when he went fishing that day, and then he embarked on the path of immortality." Li Lianshan said. It was very brief. Cao An was even ready to listen to his story, but he didn't expect it to end like this.
"What are the limitations of immortal cultivation?"
"The first is spiritual roots. This is an innate condition that must be met. Only those with spiritual roots can realize the integration of spirits into the body. Otherwise, let's stop talking. Just look at those people in the world who have made extremely fast progress in martial arts practice. Except for In addition to the talent of root bones, there is a high possibility that they are people with spiritual roots. The efficiency of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth as you martial artists said is much higher than that of ordinary people, and they can easily step into the Qi Condensation Realm and advance to a more powerful realm. "
Cao An was thoughtful, and he had previously deduced that although the energy of heaven and earth is filled between heaven and earth, ordinary human beings cannot actively use this energy. They can only passively accept its accumulation, and through martial arts practice, step by step, Change your own physique and realize the sublimation of your life level until you can actively utilize this power of heaven and earth, which is the so-called heaven and human realm!
And these spiritual root owners must be an extremely special group. They are born with a "spiritual capture object" that ordinary humans do not have. It is equivalent to having half of their feet in the realm of heaven and humanity. If nothing else, they are indeed practicing. It should be faster than ordinary people, and the theory of spiritual roots also matches the 'hearsay' knowledge in Cao An's memory.
"What about the second one?"
Li Lianshan smiled bitterly, with a look of despair between his eyebrows, and said: "The second is spiritual energy. There is no spiritual energy in this world anymore. I can only feel the glory of that spiritual energy era from the inherited memories. No, I understand the reason, but in short, this world has no spiritual energy, and the path to immortality has been cut off."
"Then how did you enter the path of spiritual practice?"
"I am only at the seventh level of the Qi refining stage. I relied on some [spiritual objects] and [spiritual crystals] to barely enter the path of cultivation. It is almost impossible to continue on." After he said this, he looked like It's like accepting his fate.
Cao An curled his lips, "Then you still plan to recruit me into your gang?"
"Walking a path alone is ultimately lonely, and my strength alone is limited after all. I have been traveling everywhere these years just to find spiritual objects and spiritual crystals for cultivation, and to absorb the little bits of spiritual energy remaining inside. Otherwise, it will take too long. If you don’t find a supplement, your realm will continue to decline. It’s better to have one more person to look for together than me to look for it alone.”
"Then you must have deceived a lot of people over the years."
"There are quite a few, but they didn't persist, causing me to lose several spiritual objects."
"Have you never thought about turning to martial arts? After all, with such a long life as a support, maybe you can go further on the road of martial arts." Unexpectedly, when Cao An said this, Li Lianshan immediately became excited, and his whole body They were all so excited that they jumped up from the ground, not even caring that one of them was a prisoner and the other was a winner.
"Do you know what aura is? It is Qingling Qi, the purest power between heaven and earth. What is Yuanli? It is just turbid low-level energy. There is a natural conflict between the two. Once it is incorporated into the world, it will Yuanli, the original spiritual energy will be completely confused, unless you break the power and rebuild it, and cultivate both, how can there be such a good thing in the world."
Cao An touched his nose angrily, and roughly understood the situation. In fact, when he first felt the attack method of Immortal Dao, he was indeed a little excited. Fortunately, he was calm enough, and now he finally knows the reason.
Li Lianshan seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his attitude. He sat down awkwardly and nodded to Cao An, "Sorry, I'm a little excited."
"I understand. After all, it is something you have insisted on for a long time and it is also your own belief."
"Faith? Yes, faith. When an ordinary person tastes the sweetness of immortality, he can't stop at all. How can that kind of bitter martial arts practice satisfy his ambition? The benefits are almost out of proportion to the effort. , How can ordinary people who are the first to try the sweetness of immortality be able to persist."
Cao An asked a curious question in his mind: "Have you really practiced for hundreds of years? Can the seventh level of Qi refining allow you to live for hundreds of years? How many years specifically?"
"It's just a lie to trick you into entering the Immortal Path. However, I have indeed lived for one hundred and eighty years, and my lifespan is far longer than that of an ordinary martial artist. I guess that once I reach the foundation-building realm, my lifespan will reach five hundred. , how about it, are you interested?"
Cao An shook his head, "I'm not interested. The foundation for the existence of the cultivation of immortality is gone. That proves that the world here is not suitable for practicing the cultivation of immortality. I have always followed the way of heaven in doing things."
Li Lianshan said with a smile, "Really? Since we follow the way of heaven, we should live and die naturally, so why bother to practice martial arts?"
"That is the smallest area of freedom that conforms to the law of heaven. I like the boundary of freedom to be wider. Yours is the edge of freedom that conforms to the law of heaven. It is too far and inconsistent with my original intention."
"Smooth tongue!"
Cao An clapped his hands and stood up, "How is it? Have you done your preparations? You have confided so much half-truth and half-false information to me, which should be enough for you to do some preparations. Let's get started. What are your tricks?" Even if you use it, I, Cao An, will take over. If I can't take over, it means I'm not good at learning."
"You actually knew this a long time ago?" This voice did not come from Li Lianshan's mouth, but from a group of blood shadows behind him, which suddenly appeared there, just like the sage of the Dharma.
Cao An wrinkled his nose, "Another remnant of ancient times crawling out of the darkness!!"
Hearing Cao An's description, the blood shadow trembled inwardly. It took a long time before three words came out of his mouth: "Okay, very good!!"
"Isn't it? Haven't you realized that this era is actually not suitable for you in a certain sense? If it were me, I would rather bloom the last glory of my life in my own era than bury myself in the darkness. Avoid the disaster that you should face by yourself, and then climb out of the new era and live in old age!"
"You will pay a price you can never imagine for your words! I want you to live and die!!"
Before he finished speaking, Xueying came to Cao An with almost no trace. He opened his big mouth, which was indeed a big mouth, and swallowed Cao An's entire consciousness. The aura of the soul was so thick that it was almost impossible to see the edge. , enough to prove how powerful this blood shadow was in its heyday.
