Episode 67: Beginner Mana
Thank you Fantasy, I’ll give you thousands of rewards to children’s shoes. The first helm leader in this book, and I’ll give you a congratulations!
That night, in Yizhuang, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed in his room. In front of him was the Shangqing Taoist Scripture that Uncle Jiu sent to him. Under his internal force, the pages of the book were flipping themselves, allowing him to read them quietly.
Well, although he had some other expectations, this so-called Shangqing Taoist Technique has neither the Golden Pill Yuanying nor any transformation of gods and ascension. As Uncle Jiu said, it is just a basic exercise to teach people to meditate quietly and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their own magic power.
Only with magic power can one use Taoism, just like internal power and moves. The same is true for the principle of Taoism. This is why the blood of Uncle Jiu and Taoist Master Simu can subdue the walking zombies, because when they made seals, they had already melted their magic power into their blood.
After reading it over and over again, Jiang Chen imprinted every word and every symbol in the book in his heart, trying to memorize it as if he was to memorize it, and then he began to first comprehend and practice.
When practicing Taoism, you are different from practicing martial arts, and you value your own talent and opportunities more. There is usually a saying that building a foundation for a hundred days is usually the saying, which means that within the first 108 days of practicing Taoism, the practitioners do everything possible to accumulate magic power, condense a spiritual root, and lay the foundation for their practice!
Generally, the spiritual roots must have at least nine wisps of magic power as the foundation to condense. The higher they go, there are twelve earthly branches, twenty-four heavenly beings, thirty-six heavenly beings, seventy-two earthly evil spirits, one hundred and eight small circumferences, and the more magic power you accumulate, the better the condensed spiritual roots.
Spiritual roots, also known as immortal roots, are extraordinary and extremely important in the future achievements of practitioners. Therefore, every practitioner will pay special attention to the 100th day of cultivation and complete the 100-day foundation building as best as possible. Jiang Chen is naturally no exception.
Because of his experience in cultivating internal skills, the first step toward meditation was not difficult for him. The next step was to understand the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This was not difficult for Jiang Chen, who reached the level of innate master martial arts. Even the link of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body was very simple, but refining the spiritual energy that entered the body into magic power was a realm that he had never touched before.
Fortunately, although he had no chance to contact the immortal world in the first two reincarnation worlds, he also practiced ancient martial arts and internal martial arts to the innate realm. Whether it was refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into true energy, or transforming it into flesh and blood to enhance the power of the gyrus, it was all considered experience. Therefore, after some hard work, he finally successfully condensed his first magic power!
For ordinary practitioners, even if they are talented, they have no foundation. It is already amazing to be able to condense a wisp of magic power for the first time in practicing Taoist techniques. However, for Jiang Chen, this is just a beginning. After all, as a master of martial arts, his foundation is more than ten times more than ordinary practitioners.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. With the condensation of the first ray of magic power, Jiang Chen's cultivation soon came on track. As he used the Taoist techniques, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was pulled and gathered by him, and 480 million pores from his body were poured into his body continuously, and he condensed into his own magic power.
In one night, Jiang Chen condensed thirty-six strands of magic power. If he wanted, he could even melt it into his own spiritual roots and then start practicing Taoism. But how could he be a short-sighted person? Naturally, he would not ignore the importance of foundation building in order to achieve temporary speed.
The next morning, Jiang Chen got up early and practiced in the morning as usual, and the same was true for Uncle Jiu and Wencai. However, Qiu Sheng, because the master was at his aunt's house in the town, he rarely came here so early.
After all, Uncle Ninth has been practicing Taoism for many years, and he knocked out the changes in Jiang Chen's body at a glance. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Junior brother, have you condensed your magic power?"
Jiang Chen naturally had nothing to hide in this regard, and immediately responded truthfully: "Yes, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I worked hard to cultivate and successfully condensed my magic power."
"Wow! Uncle Master, you are so powerful. You have only practiced magic power in one night!" Hearing this, Wen Cai couldn't help but scream: "I had practiced for seven days before I could barely condense the first wisp of magic power."
"You are so stupid, so why don't you say it!" Uncle Jiu snorted coldly, glared at him, and then turned to Jiang Chen and said with joy: "I am a master of martial arts, and my foundation is just a strong one. However, junior brother, you must not be lazy. Building a foundation for a hundred days is very important. You must condense as much magic power as possible to build the best foundation."
Facing Uncle Jiu's kindness, Jiang Chen immediately responded respectfully: "I'm sure."
For the next period of time, Jiang Chen worked hard to practice. Perhaps, as Uncle Jiu said, as the master of martial arts, he had a strong foundation. Almost every time he practiced, he could condense thirty or fifty strands of magic power. Over time, the amount of magic power he accumulated was as much as 240 strands.
You know, even his master, Uncle Jiu, built a foundation for a hundred days, only condensed 72 strands of magic power to melt the immortal roots. Even so, among the disciples of the Maoshan Sect for nearly a hundred years, they are considered to be of high qualifications!
But Jiang Chen continued to practice without hesitation. Anyway, he had already made up his mind and had to wait for a hundred days to condense his immortal roots.
However, although he thought well, he had to give up this idea after more than ten days, because after he condensed 365 wisps of magic power, no matter how he practiced, he could no longer condense 366 wisps of magic power. He had no choice but to ask Uncle Jiu for advice.
Uncle Jiu suddenly heard that he had condensed 365 wisps of magic power, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, stunned for a long time, and then replied with a wry smile: "Junior brother, I forgot to tell you, and there is no record in the book. Building a foundation in a hundred days and using 365 wisps of magic power to condense immortal roots is the limit of my Maoshan Sect's martial arts. Unless you can get a more profound and profound skill than my Maoshan Sect, no matter how you practice, you will probably find it difficult to condense the 366 wisps of magic power."
"So that's it." Jiang Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "So, senior brother, can I directly condense my immortal roots and practice Taoism now?"
"This..." Uncle Jiu hesitated for a moment, but said, "You should wait a few more days. Your cultivation speed is too fast. Although you have a deep foundation, it is better to be careful. In the past few days, you will polish and clean the mana accumulated in your body and try to make your mana pure as much as possible. This is also beneficial for condensing immortal roots."
"Yes, senior brother." Jiang Chen did not hesitate about this. After all, it was from the era of information explosion. His horizons were broad and not inferior to anyone. He naturally understood what Uncle Jiu meant. Since he could not improve the amount of mana, then improving the quality of mana can also improve the level of immortal roots.
"Junior brother, although you are the latest and not long, I have to admit that you are much better than my two unfamiliar apprentices." Uncle Jiu looked at Jiang Chen and became more satisfied. He immediately reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "Go back and rest. Get up early tomorrow. Someone asked me to discuss things. Junior brother, you will follow me, and I will take you to taste foreign tea."
When Jiang Chen heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but smile secretly at it. However, he remembered the scene when Uncle Jiu and Wencai and his disciples were embarrassed in the coffee shop in the plot of reincarnation, but he said, "Senior Brother, this is a bit not good, after all, they are invited to you."
Uncle Jiu said, "What's the matter? You are my junior brother and have seen the world again. You can give me a staff officer." When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise: "I almost forgot, junior brother, you lived in Hong Kong before, and you must have had foreign tea?"
Jiang Chen smiled and replied, "Of course."
"Okay, okay!" After hearing this, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Then he rubbed his hands and asked, "Can you teach me what's the point of drinking foreign tea?"
"Of course." Jiang Chen responded, and then he roughly told him about the coffee-drinking advice. Uncle Jiu frowned. With Jiang Chen's ears, he could still hear his muttering from afar:
"I really didn't expect that there were so many things to pay attention to with foreign tea. It seems that I must bring my junior brother with me tomorrow. Well, there is also Wencai. If I make a mistake, I can let him push the tank..."
