In his free time, Li Xiu also read Yu Tong's collection of experiences and travel notes about the world of immortality. Speaking of it, the Yu family is quite an interesting little family. Their children who go out must collect several books of knowledge or biographies about the world of immortality. This rule is still Yu Tong's.
The ancestral precepts established by the ancestors of the family are for the long-term prosperity of the family.
Although the Yu family did not understand their ancestor's intentions, they still carried on the habit of collecting secrets and biographies of the world of immortality.
There are several books that record the mortal countries that immortal cultivators have visited, the customs and specialties of various places, the secret shops and markets of immortal cultivators, as well as the customs and taboos of some immortal cultivating sects and families in various places.
The most common one is about the introduction of a certain monk who killed demons and evil spirits, and a certain monk who got a supreme opportunity.
One of the interesting biographies Li Xiu also read was the story of a mortal man who fell in love with a female cultivator from the world of immortality.
A mortal talented man fell in love with an octogenarian female nun. The talented man did not like beauties but old women. The two slept together, but they were caught red-handed by the female nun!
The Immortal Cultivation Sect deprived the old woman of her magic power, tied her to the torture platform, and made the talented man suffer the torture of the seven ghosts eating his soul. The talented man was originally a mortal, but he gained short-term magic power because of the seven ghosts eating his soul and being haunted by ghosts.
The talented man used the magic power he briefly obtained to save the female cultivator and moved the female cultivator's disciples. It turned out that all of this was a test of the talented man's sincerity.
The female cultivator's master cured the talented man, and the octogenarian female cultivator also took away a mortal woman who was as beautiful as a flower. This time, the talented man and the beautiful woman finally became the envy of the gods.
Li Xiu also enjoyed reading this story that was like a Shakespeare novel.
When Li Xiu asked how many such biographies of cultivating immortals there were, Yu Tong told him that it would take a hundred rooms the size of the Chuncaotang to contain all the information and biographies in the Yu Family. Li Xiu's mind was filled with thoughts.
The sense of déjà vu in the library of the previous life.
…
These days, Li Xiu not only learned about the spiritual roots of monks, he also learned about the realm of cultivation in the world of immortality from Yu Tong.
Refining qi - building foundation - forming elixir - Nascent Soul - transforming into spirit.
It is said that there is a higher realm beyond the realm of transformation, but that is after ascension.
From refining qi to transforming into gods, these are the lower realms for cultivating immortals. As long as you practice to the stage of transforming into gods, you can ascend to the upper realm.
There are still several great realms in cultivation. Once the monks have completed all cultivation, they will become true immortals and ascend to the immortal world to live freely and live as long as heaven.
…
After understanding the basic levels of the world of cultivating immortals, Li Xiu had a very good imagination. From Qi training to ascension, it was just a few levels. What was the difference between it and the King of Pesticide level? You were done after practicing!
It's a pity that cultivating immortals is not as simple as he imagined? Even with the help of Yu Tong's Qi, Li Xiu couldn't feel the slightest bit of spiritual energy at all.
…
Late that night, Li Xiu practiced the first level of the Burning Fire Art to no avail. Yu Tong, who was injecting spiritual power into Li Xiu, told him to stop meditating.
"Stop it, Li Xiu. In the past three months, I have helped you practice Maotu Jin, Yuantan Gong, Changchun Gong and the Burning Fire Technique. My own qualifications are not high, and I have mixed spiritual roots of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wood.
What is given to you is the first level of these basic exercises.
Based on the guidance I gave you, it stands to reason that as long as you have spiritual roots, you will be able to sense the Qi of a series of spiritual roots. But you don’t have any spiritual Qi sensing. Alas! You should practice the Yuansha Jin Neigong and Mind Method.
!It is a top-level internal skill that people in the world are crazy about!" Yu Tong shook his head and sighed.
Li Xiu has been sensing spiritual energy with the help of Yu Tong these days. Yu Tong has used the four spiritual energies of earth, water, fire, and wood together with the four basic exercises to induce Li Xiu over and over. What is disappointing is that Li Xiu has no ability at all. There is no sense of anger at all.
As for the last metal spiritual energy, although Yu Tong cannot help Li Xiu sense it, the chance that Li Xiu has the spiritual root is very slim. Li Xiu insists on practicing Qi every day. Yu Tong has already seen through that he has no spiritual root. Yu Tong didn't want to say anything to hurt Li Xiu, who was full of confidence.
"Oh! Why can't I sense it? Brother Yu, there are also gold, wind, ice, thunder, and dark techniques. Let me try other ones!" Li Xiu said with some annoyance.
"I don't know about the techniques with the attributes of the foreign spirit roots. In fact, none of my family has the techniques of the foreign spirit roots. However, even the foreign spirit roots can more or less sense a little bit of their mutations corresponding to several types. If you don’t have the spiritual power of the Five Elements or the spiritual roots of water, fire, earth, and wood, it’s definitely impossible for you to have supernatural spiritual roots!
As for the metal-based exercises, I do know one kind, the mid-level exercise, the gilding method. But there are only the first three levels of exercises, so you can only rely on yourself to feel the metallic spiritual power!"
Yu Tong stood up, and without lighting a lamp, he picked up a pen and started writing silently on the paper Li Xiu was writing the prescription for.
It was pitch dark inside the Spring Thatched Cottage, but in Yu Tong's eyes it looked like daylight.
Li Xiu watched silently from the side as Yu Tong memorized the first three levels of the Gilding Technique for him. Although Li Xiu had practiced the four techniques in the past few days, he had now forgotten what he had learned before.
The previous few exercises were all conducted under the guidance of Yu Tong. He just did what Yu Tong said. At that time, he was so focused on sensing and attracting spiritual power that he could not remember the secret techniques at all.
This time, it was Yu Tong who gave him a technique that he could learn on his own. When Li Xiu held up a stack of paper filled with small words, he was so excited that he felt like he had found a treasure.
Yu Tong, who was looking at Li Xiu from the side, sighed and shook his head. A mortal without spiritual qualifications who wanted to become an immortal was simply a fool's errand. Li Xiu saved his life, and Yu Tong simply let him do whatever he wanted to do to repay Li. Xiu’s life-saving grace.
…
Another six months later, Li Xiu collected medicinal materials during the day and, according to the list given by Yu Tong, purchased the medicines that Yu Tong needed to replenish his vitality and heal his injuries in batches.
At night, he practiced the Gilding Technique under Yu Tong's guidance. In half a year, Li Xiu didn't even develop a single hair of spiritual energy. He had no spiritual roots at all, and Li Xiu completely lost hope in cultivating immortality.
Yu Tong's injuries have recovered, and he used the Blood Spirit Grass to refine a batch of elixirs that can break through the upper levels of the Qi Refining Stage and successfully reach the eighth level of Qi Refining.
These days, Yu Tong has been consolidating his realm and refining elixirs. Li Xiu knew that he would leave Chuncaotang when Yu Tong's realm was stable.
Li Xiu remembered the small space of the World of Warcraft map in his brain again, and he came to ask Yu Tong for advice while he was eating.
"Brother Yu, do you think my soul can leave my body? Or that my soul can enter my brain!" Li Xiu asked.
"This... Li Xiu, don't take that biography seriously! Most of it is just imaginary jokes! Seizing bodies can only be used by high-level immortal cultivators against low-level immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators must die when seizing bodies by mortals. Undoubtedly!" Yu Tong thought that Li Xiu had read the biography of the world of immortality that he gave him, which made him have wild imagination.
