Chapter 95 Strengths and Weaknesses of the Five Spiritual Roots
Wang Daoyuan was about to switch to the Five Elements Hunyuan Kung Fu. The Five Elements Kung Fu of the Jindan monk was beckoning to him. If the clan leader had not been there before, he would have started to switch to the practice.
Before starting to practice, he studied the techniques carefully.
The Five Elements Hunyuan Gong is based on the common basic exercises, and adds the content of transforming the spiritual power of the Five Elements and nourishing the body.
The five internal organs of the human body correspond to the five elements: the heart belongs to fire, the liver belongs to wood, the lungs belong to metal, the kidneys belong to water, and the spleen belongs to earth.
The Five Elements Hunyuan Gong cultivates the spiritual power of the five elements, uses the spiritual power to nourish the internal organs of corresponding attributes, and plays a role in strengthening the body.
Therefore, this exercise has a certain body-training effect, and it can be regarded as a relatively advanced body-training exercise.
General body training methods simply strengthen the physical body and ignore the internal organs.
Compare the human body to a tree, with the innate Qi and internal organs as the roots and trunk, and the muscles and bones as the branches and leaves.
Regardless of whether the roots and trunk are alive or dead, as long as the branches and leaves are strengthened, a gust of wind may blow the tree down.
The Five Elements Hunyuan Gong strengthens the roots. When the roots and trunk of the tree are strong, the branches and leaves will naturally flourish. Only when the roots are deep-rooted can the tree resist diseases.
In the early stage, the physical training effect of Five Elements Hunyuan Gong is not significant, but the body is stronger, the qi and blood are more abundant, and the physical strength is incomparable with those physical training methods that temper muscles and bones.
But in the long run, general body training exercises overdraw the body's potential, while Five Elements Hunyuan Gong strengthens the physical body in all aspects.
However, the physical body and cultivation level are improved at the same time, and the speed is simply appallingly slow.
Wang Daoyuan has unlimited resources, and it will take him ten or twenty years to reach the level of Dacheng, unless he gets lucky and obtains a high-level spiritual object.
It is conceivable that ordinary monks cannot be satisfied even if they eat spiritual grains. How much time it takes to practice this cheating technique.
However, since there is a spirit bead space and there is no shortage of resources, there is no need to worry about other people.
After more than ten years of practice, he was already in his thirties.
At the peak of Qi training in his thirties, even in a large sect, he is not considered the top, but he can still be considered to be at the upper level.
After basically understanding the Five Elements Hunyuan Gong, Wang Daoyuan officially started practicing it.
Because the Five Elements Hunyuan Gong can transform the attributes of the five elements, he does not need to practice it from scratch.
You only need to run the exercises to convert the water spiritual power in the Dantian into the attributes of the five elements.
Then the spiritual power of the five elements is condensed into true essence and integrated into the blood to form essence and blood, which nourishes the five internal organs respectively, thereby strengthening the whole body.
Wang Daoyuan practices the exercises for several hours every day, and spends the rest of the time refining spiritual talismans and practicing the soul-chasing whip technique.
Wu Xing Zhenren's set of whip techniques are not all for close combat, but draw lessons from sword cultivators' sword techniques.
After building the foundation, use the soul-chasing whip method. When the whip comes out, it will be a strong wind, just like the sword spirit of the sword cultivator, it is a long-range attack.
Although the whip itself is not suitable for sword control, and it cannot fly with the whip, its power and attack range are no less than that of sword control.
The unique skill of this whip technique is called the Hunyuan Soul-Chasing Whip. One whip can produce five types of spiritual power, and its power can overwhelm most second-level spells.
Zhao Baoguo's five consecutive whips can be said to have used a clever method. He could not bring out all five elements with one whip, so he could only produce one attribute of spiritual power with one whip.
Although the power of this move is far from being exerted, it is still not difficult to defeat a monk of the same level.
If he hadn't relied on the Soul-Destroying Bell, he might have fallen into the hands of Zhao Baoguo.
After practicing in Lingquan Cave for more than two months, Wang Daoyuan converted the spiritual power in his body into the spiritual power of the five elements, and completed the cultivation of the five internal organs, meridians, and Dantian.
Although his cultivation level has not changed, his overall strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The total amount of spiritual power in the Dantian is twice that of before, the physical strength has also been greatly increased, the strength of the meridians and internal organs have increased a lot.
In addition, he has achieved some success in the Soul Chasing Whip Technique, and now he can compete with the original Zhang Dacheng.
After practicing the Five Elements Hunyuan Gong, he finally understood why Zhao Baoguo was so difficult to deal with.
One is that the Five Dragon Soul Chasing Whip saves spiritual power, the other is that practicing the Five Elements Hunyuan Kung Fu has strong spiritual power, and the third is a major advantage of the Five Elements All-Attribute Kung Fu - fast recovery.
In terms of recovery speed alone, it is possible for Wulinggen monks who practice Five Elements Hunyuan Gong to surpass Tianlinggen monks.
The Five Elements Hunyuan Gong also records the reasons for quick recovery.
Because the five elements are interdependent, the attributes of the aura are constantly transforming, and eventually a state of balance among the five elements is reached. This state will form aura without attributes.
Unless it is near a single-attribute spiritual vein like Yulongquan, there are more water auras than non-attribute auras.
In places far away from such spiritual veins, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth basically has no attributes.
Take a monk who practices water-attribute skills as an example. To incorporate non-attribute spiritual energy into his body, the monk needs to run the skills to decompose the non-attribute spiritual energy into five attribute spiritual energy, and then use his own water spiritual roots to refine the water-attribute spiritual energy into himself.
Spiritual power.
When the water attribute aura is refined, it becomes less and less, which breaks the balance of the five elements. The aura of other attributes will be generated through the five elements and then transformed into water aura.
Eventually, all spiritual energy will be transformed into water spiritual energy, which will be refined by the monks into their own spiritual power.
It takes time to transform other attribute auras into water auras.
If only one unit of water spiritual energy can be converted into one breath of time, no matter how fast the water spiritual root can be refined, only one unit of water spiritual energy can be refined into spiritual power within this breath of time.
This is called the "bottleneck of spiritual energy transformation" by immortal cultivators.
Even Tianlinggen cannot avoid this bottleneck.
The Five Spiritual Root monks who practice the Five Elements all-attribute skills directly ignore the bottleneck of spiritual energy transformation and do not need to transform at all.
They can decompose non-attributed spiritual energy into five elements of spiritual energy, and then refine the five attribute spiritual energy at the same time. When restoring spiritual power, there is no need to convert the spiritual energy attributes at all.
If you practice water-attribute exercises alone, you usually practice at the water-attribute spiritual veins and eyes, so you don’t need to worry about it.
But there is no way to avoid this bottleneck when walking outside or facing enemies, unless you consume water-attributed spiritual items all day long.
This can also reflect the role of cultivation resources. With the support of a large number of water attribute spiritual objects, the cultivation speed is not affected by this bottleneck.
As long as the spiritual energy is sufficient, Wulinggen monks can always maintain the fastest refining speed, while Tianlinggen monks generally cannot achieve the fastest refining speed.
Therefore, in places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is dominated by non-attributed spiritual energy, without the use of spiritual objects to assist, the recovery speed of Wulinggen monks can theoretically be more than ten times that of Tianlinggen monks.
Of course, this is just the recovery speed.
In terms of improving his cultivation, Tianlinggen far surpasses other monks.
Improving your cultivation level is not just about absorbing spiritual energy and converting it into spiritual power, but also condensing spiritual power into true essence.
The improvement of a monk's cultivation is the process of improving the quality and quantity of true energy.
Spiritual power is condensed into true essence. This process mainly depends on the spiritual root and qualifications.
The spiritual power cultivated by Tianlinggen monks has only one attribute, which is extremely pure.
As for monks with multiple spiritual roots, even if they practice single-attribute exercises, during the cultivation process, the spiritual roots of other attributes will also refine a small amount of spiritual energy into spiritual power, which results in mixed spiritual power.
The purer the spiritual power, the higher the quality of the condensed true energy, and the faster the condensation speed.
The height of the spiritual root shadow directly determines the speed at which spiritual power condenses true energy. The higher the spiritual root shadow, the faster the condensation speed.
Tianlinggen monks have only one spiritual root and their spiritual power is extremely pure.
Moreover, the spiritual root shadow exceeds nine inches and the speed of condensation is fast. These two advantages are taken advantage of. This is why Tianlinggen monks are far superior to other monks.
Five spiritual root monks like Wang Daoyuan are the fastest to recover spiritual power, but the slowest to condense true energy.
