Since it is best to practice exercises in a place with abundant spiritual energy and to be as undisturbed as possible, his mother proposed to practice in her cave, so Jiang Yun and his mother went straight to his mother's cave after returning home.
The mother's name is Yu Wenqing, from another cultivating family. But my mother rarely mentioned her previous family origins.
The Jiang Yun family's mansion is not small, with more than a dozen rooms. In addition to Aunt Mei, there are nearly ten male and female attendants. In the clan area, only immortal cultivators can apply to the Government Hall to serve as servants.
Most of the families in the clan are descendants of the second and third generations of Jiang family immortal cultivators. According to clan rules, if a cultivator dies and his descendants within three generations have no spiritual root qualifications, they need to move away from the clan. Based on the cultivator's previous contributions to the family, the family will give preferential treatment to his descendants.
Most of the officials and wealthy people in the dozen or so towns outside are descendants of these immortal cultivators.
Although he never asked about the specific area of his mansion, it would definitely not be easy for Jiang Yun to walk the entire area with his short legs.
Yu Wenqing's cave is located to the north of the mansion. After passing through many houses and pavilions, he came to the edge of a small lake. I saw a five-story pagoda in the center of the lake hundreds of meters away. This is the cave where my parents practiced.
Jiang Yun had been sensible since he was a child and did not let his mother worry. Every time before his mother retreated, she would tell Jiang Yun that she was about to retreat and not to be disturbed. If she had anything to do, she could contact Aunt Mei, and Jiang Yun did it.
Therefore, although Jiang Yun knew the location of his mother's cave, he had never entered his mother's cave.
"Mom, how should we get there? There are no boats nearby." Jiang Yun glanced at the lake and said.
"I'm usually a ghost, but why have I become stupid today? Your mother and I are cultivators of immortality." The mother teased:
After speaking, he patted the storage bag at his waist, and a mini boat with shimmering light floated in the palm of his hand.
I saw my mother waving her hand in the direction of the lake, and the boat flew towards the lake. It gradually grew in size as it flew. In one breath, it turned into a two-foot-long and five-foot-wide flying boat, floating half a meter high on the lake. .
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment when he saw the flying boat in mid-air, and seemed to think of something. His little face puffed up and he said to his mother: "Mom, you have such a good thing, why didn't you take it out before, knowing that I was anxious to go home and practice! "
Seeing that Jiang Yun no longer acted like a little adult like usual, his mother couldn't help pinching Jiang Yun's bulging cheeks and explained with a smile:
"It's very interesting how Xiao Yun'er is anxious to go home. He usually looks like a little adult, but it's rare to see such a child. My mother couldn't help but want to see more."
Jiang Yun rubbed the pinched area on his face and returned to his usual serious look. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the flying boat.
Mother followed with a smile.
The two of them stood in, and the flying boat flew towards the cave at an extremely fast speed, and it only took ten breaths.
When I got close to the pagoda, I realized that the pagoda was very huge. When I walked to the gate, my mother held out a small flag and flew to the gate. Then a burst of blue light flowed through the gate, and then the flag flew back to my mother's hand.
The mother put away the small flag and said: "Okay, the formation is set up here. The flag just now is the formation flag that controls the formation. You can go in now."
After speaking, he walked inside. Seeing this, Jiang Yun quickly followed.
Entering the small building, I found that the interior was not filled with tables, chairs and furniture, but a large spiritual field and bamboo forest where many kinds of medicinal herbs were grown. There were also spiritual insects traveling through it during this period.
Jiang Yun looked up into the sky and saw a small sun.
"Mother, aren't we in the same building? What's going on?" Jiang Yun was surprised for a while, and then asked hurriedly:
The mother patiently explained: "Is it different from what you imagined? In fact, for us cultivators, gorgeous furniture decoration is useless, and we don't have to deliberately pursue cave cultivation. Only the adequacy of cultivation resources and spiritual energy is the most important. .
The miniature spiritual vein below here was given to you by your ancestors after they made contributions to the family. Although it is not large in scale, these five acres of spiritual land were developed with this spiritual vein. After hundreds of years of care, it has now become Top grade spiritual field.
Your great-grandfather was the family's senior weapon refiner. He spent all his wealth to refine this top-quality magic weapon, the Spirit Gathering Tower, before his lifespan expired.
In addition to its strong defense, this tower is also equipped with a spiritual gathering array, which makes the spiritual energy in the tower far exceed that of the outside world. The top of the tower is equipped with a medium-grade magic weapon, the Hui Guang Bead, which has the effect of condensing sunlight from the outside, so that elixirs can be planted inside."
After speaking, her mother walked to Jiang Yun and knelt down, touched Jiang Yun's head and said softly: "Xiao Yun'er, these are the heritage left by your father and ancestors.
Unlike casual cultivators who pursue killing people, seizing treasures, and getting rich overnight, cultivating families consider sustainable development, so most cultivating families in the clan will develop private spiritual fields, spiritual insect gardens, and spiritual animal gardens.
These five acres of high-grade spiritual fields may not seem big, but they are of great value. Without sufficient spiritual nourishment and care, the low-grade spiritual fields will never be able to turn into high-grade spiritual fields.
It is also thanks to the spiritual energy condensed in this Spirit Gathering Tower. Otherwise, relying solely on this miniature spiritual vein will always be a low-grade spiritual field. Even so, it took nearly a hundred years to become a high-grade spiritual field. . "
Jiang Yun nodded after listening. Although he had learned some about it in the book before, he also knew that immortal cultivators have a hundred skills of cultivating immortals to assist them in their cultivation.
However, Jiang Yun felt that cultivating immortals and various arts were just hobbies and were just a supplement and would not play a decisive factor. He had always thought that the focus of cultivating immortals was to insist on breathing and exhaling, pursuing enlightenment with one move and making great progress in cultivation.
But seeing his mother's solemn words, Jiang Yun now realized that immortal cultivators' requirements for resources far exceeded his imagination.
"Mother, since the spiritual field is so important, why not develop more of it?" Jiang Yun asked doubtfully:
Hearing Jiang Yun's question, his mother patiently explained: "The number of spiritual fields that can be developed by different spiritual veins is limited. Although this miniature spiritual vein is enough to develop nearly ten acres of low-grade spiritual fields, we immortal cultivators also need to cultivate. Sufficient spiritual energy, this part of the spiritual energy must be reserved.”
Seeing Jiang Yun's understanding, she continued: "In fact, even if there is no private spiritual vein, the spiritual energy of the clan is already much higher than that of the outside world. This is why the descendants of the family without spiritual roots are unwilling to leave the clan.
Although you will still be rich and noble in the outside world, you will live longer and healthier in places with sufficient spiritual energy, and the probability of your children having spiritual roots will be 10 to 20% higher. "
After saying that, he took Jiang Yun to a bamboo building. The bamboo building was small and only had four rooms, two in the middle and one on each side. Jiang Yun touched the bamboo curiously and found that the material was not like wood but like jade.
The mother saw this but didn't say much. She walked to the room on the right in the middle, opened the door and went in. Jiang Yun quickly followed.
There was only a set of tables and chairs in the room, and a screen. Behind the screen were two futons and a couch. Nothing else.
Mother walked to the futon and sat cross-legged. Jiang Yun also sat cross-legged. They sit like this in the Enlightenment School, and Jiang Yun has long been used to it.
Seeing Jiang Yun sitting upright with a serious look on his face, his mother's eyes showed a trace of satisfaction.
