Cultivation Begins with Cultivating Spiritual Roots

The sky was getting dark, and all the servants completed their tasks one after another and returned to the prison.

In the dead of night, everyone was already sound asleep.

Inside a log cabin.

Yang Buyi did not sleep, but sat cross-legged, opened his clothes, revealing his chest full of lean flesh.

On the chest, there is a tattoo that looks like a real glass bowl.

With a thought, the tattoo on the glass bowl instantly lit up, and then turned into a flash of spiritual light and rushed towards his right hand.

The aura dissipated, and there was a solid glass bowl in the palm of his right hand.

It is only the size of a palm, showing the color of glass, and there are eight mysterious spirit patterns on the bowl.

At this time, except for a small part of the spirit patterns in the entire glazed bowl, most of the spirit patterns were shining with a faint aura.

With the bowl in the palm, a magical scene appeared.

Suddenly, many dots of spiritual light burst out around, the color is like moonlight, floating towards the glass bowl.

Every time the glazed bowl absorbs a bit of spiritual light, the small part of dim spiritual patterns will be lit up.

Yang Buyi once suspected that it was spiritual energy, but after several years of experimentation, he discovered that it might be something more advanced than spiritual energy.

This kind of aura would only appear every time he took out the glass bowl, and when the glass bowl turned into a tattoo and returned to his chest, it would silently absorb the aura without any abnormality.

The glazed bowl came with him through time travel, and it was his companion spirit creature, connected with his mind.

Holding the glass bowl, with a thought, he opened the data transmitted by the glass bowl in his brain.

【Name】: Yang Buyi

[Cultivation base]: Acquired peak

[Cultivation method]: Tiger Fist

[Glass Bowl Grade]: Eight Patterns

[Culture]: Waste spiritual root (99.99/100)

[Progress of cultivating energy accumulation]: 92%

"The cultivation energy is almost full, and the glazed bowl will light up again. Whether we can cultivate spiritual roots depends on this time."

Yang Buyi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

But his trembling body showed that he was not at peace.

The glazed bowl can be cultivated every day, but tonight's cultivation makes Yang Buyi the most concerned. Will this determine whether his fate can be changed?

Whether to embark on the fairy road from now on, or to pack up and go home at dawn, depends on tonight!

He was apprehensive and excited, staring intently at the dots of spiritual light floating into the mouth of the bowl bit by bit.

"92.23%...92.32%...92.45%..."

He looked at the beating data and muttered silently.

The glass bowl can automatically absorb and cultivate energy, and it will be fully charged every night at twelve o'clock.

Time passes little by little, and the energy is cultivated little by little.

An hour later.

[Progress of cultivating energy savings]: 96.56%

"96.89%..."

"97.12%..."

"98.24%..."

"99.98%..."

The closer the cultivation energy was to being fully charged, Yang Buyi's breathing became more rapid, and he kept staring like this for another half an hour, and finally...

"100%, it's done!"

[Progress of cultivating energy accumulation]: 100%

The eight spirit patterns of the glazed bowl are all lit up, and the whole bowl is surrounded by spiritual light.

"Cultivate spiritual roots!"

Yang Buyi shouted without hesitation.

【Waste Spiritual Roots are being cultivated】

Yang Buyi felt tense when he saw this reminder.

Lingen!

Something that can make mortals cultivate immortality, something that can change the status of mortals drastically.

Can such a baby really be cultivated?

he......

[Spiritual roots are successfully cultivated,

Upgrade waste spirit root to ordinary spirit root]

"Spirit root! Is it done?"

Thousands of thoughts in his heart have not yet unfolded, and his uneasy state of mind has not yet reached its peak, so the spiritual root has become?

Yang Buyi pinched his thigh hard, the pain brought him back to reality, his eyes fixed on——

[Culture]: Fanpin Linggen (0/100)

After staring at it for dozens of breaths, a brilliant smile finally appeared on his face, and even though he was always calm, he couldn't help roaring in his heart, "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! !"

"I finally have spiritual roots too!?"

Yang Buyi could hardly suppress his excitement, his fists were clenched tightly, his whole body was shaking.

After more than ten years of training, the hope he had always placed in his heart did not disappoint him in the end.

Lingen!

Even the lowest-grade mortal spirit root is enough to change his fate.

"Practice, see if you can practice!"

Yang Buyi raised his heart again.

The spiritual root only gave him the conditions to practice, and only by cultivating spiritual energy can he truly change his fate against the sky.

With a thought, a strange yet familiar exercise appeared in his mind. It was the basic immortal cultivation exercise "Yinling Jue" that the handyman disciples could watch and remember.

Sink your mind into the Jue and recite the mantra silently, in order to communicate with the aura around you and draw the aura into your body.

The first step in practice is to lead the spirit into the body.

Guiding spirits requires inspiration, and only by sensing the aura between heaven and earth can one be able to guide spirits into the body.

The spiritual root is the bridge to receive the spiritual energy.

"Calm your mind, be as humble as you are, in an ethereal realm, draw spirits into your body..." Yang Buyi recited the mantra silently, sensing the changes around him.

But an hour passed.

His mood was not calm, but he became more and more upset, his brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally he opened his eyes and sighed helplessly:

"After all, I am not a saint. The excitement brought about by the promotion of the spiritual root level has made me unable to calm down, unable to achieve peace of mind. Instead of practicing forcefully, why not have a happy night and try again tomorrow!"

He also thought about it, and simply stopped suppressing it, and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

 …

Boom boom boom!

"Brother Buyi, wake up, we should go through the formalities of leaving the sect, the family's motorcade is here to pick us up."

The next day, Lin Yuxuan got up early and woke up Yang Buyi.

"Yuxuan, you go home first, I plan to go to Chuan Dao Peak again!"

Yang is not easy to open the door.

"You want to go to Chuan Dao Peak again?"

Lin Yuxuan was startled, and thought of something, "Yes, three years have passed, and the sect has recruited new disciples. Do you want to go to Chuan Dao Peak to listen to the elder's preaching?"

"But...you don't have a spiritual root, and you can't sense the spiritual energy. Even if you listen to it a hundred times, it's useless."

"Even if you can't sense the aura, you can't miss the elder's preaching. After all, the elders in the Jindan state only give a public lecture once in three years." Yang Buyi laughed.

"Okay, then I'll go back with the family team after completing the formalities, and I won't wait for you." Lin Yuxuan said.

"By the way, when you leave the sect, tell my family team, so that they don't have to wait for me." Yang Buyi said.

"Okay!" Lin Yuxuan responded, and then left the wooden house.

Yang Buyi slowly raised his head, looked at the stretch of mountains in front of him that was dyed red by the rising sun, pulled the wooden house up with his hands, and walked there with a hint of longing.

After an hour of walking, he finally came to the bottom of the rolling mountains.

Looking around, some peaks are full of flowers, some peaks are flying birds, some are flowing springs and waterfalls, and some palaces are undulating.

The most eye-catching thing is the mountain peak in the middle, which is like a sharp sword piercing into the sky, and the water of the Tianhe River on the top of the peak roars down like a jade dragon, which is extremely spectacular.

That is Chuan Dao Peak!

Yang Buyi walked up the stairs.

Along the road, I saw many disciples wearing white Xuanyi Yujian flying past, all of them were outstanding talents, wearing long gowns fluttering in the wind, with a personable demeanor, quite the demeanor of a great school.

I also saw many handyman disciples who had just started and newly promoted outer disciples walking between the roads.

When Yang Buyi rushed to the top of the mountain, he found that there were already many people sitting in disorder.

Those veteran outer disciples and inner disciples were all sitting on the tall and independent stone pillars in the middle, looking aloof.

As for the newly promoted outer disciples and handyman disciples, they were divided into two groups, inner and outer, and sat around those stone pillars.

Yang Buyi found a corner and sat down.

The morning glow was born, and the golden light fell on the top of the mountain, shining brightly.

The floating mist shuttled around the body, looking peaceful, like a fairyland.

The crowd talked and waited.

Suddenly!

brush.

With a flash of brilliance, a long rainbow flew in front and landed on the tallest stone pillar on the top of the mountain.

The light faded away, and an old man with white beard and hair appeared.

"See the elders." Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

"Hehe, there's no need to be too polite, let's sit and discuss, there is no distinction between high and low."

The elder sat cross-legged, with the cool wind blowing through his beard, his half-closed eyes couldn't be opened in shock. He was dressed in a white robe, surrounded by clouds and mists, as if he wanted to ascend to the Tao.

It is a rare opportunity for the elders in the Golden Core Realm to teach. Everyone cherishes it. They all refreshed, calmed down, and waited quietly for the lecture.

"What do you think is cultivation?" The elder asked when he saw that everyone was quiet.

"Cultivate exercises, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and achieve immortality." Someone replied.

"Cultivation is fighting skills."

"Cultivation is self-cultivation."

...

"So, what do you want to cultivate?" the elder said again.

"Slender."

"Fix invincible."

"Xiu Xiaoyao."

...

"Is this the way you want to cultivate?"

"Elder, what is your way?"

"The way I practiced is called 'fighting'. If you want to survive in this world, you must learn to fight. If you want to have no taboos and avoid evil, you must learn to fight with yourself. If you want to have no taboos in life, you must learn to fight with yourself. Learn to fight with others. If you want to stand up to the sky in your life, you must learn to fight with the sky. Fighting with yourself, fighting with others, fighting against the sky, the joy is endless!"

The elder Gu Jing was speechless, his voice was calm, without any emotion, it seemed that at this moment he had already integrated into his own practice life, and everyone heard it in awe.

"The essence of practice is actually to borrow strength from heaven and earth to strengthen one's own body."

"Cultivation is nothing more than the process of absorbing qi. Longevity is nothing more than the process of spiritual transformation. The peak of cultivation is not only the quantitative change of qi, but also the transformation of the human body."

"The first level of practice is the Qi training level."

"If you want to practice qi, you have to sense qi first, use exercises to sense the aura of heaven and earth, and make it resonate with yourself."

"As the saying goes, people have life, and spirit has spirit. Only with the approval of the spirit of heaven and earth can it be guided into itself."

"It's hard to get the Tao, it's hard to get the Tao! It's the first step to resonate with the aura of heaven and earth, which is very difficult to do. Although some people have spiritual roots, it took several years to sense the aura, and some I can't even feel it for a lifetime, it's sad!"

"Sometimes the old man is very envious of all kinds of innate bodies in the legend. Those people's soul is the sky, the body is the earth, and they are in the state of psychic all the time. The spiritual energy is competing to come, the mother's womb is the heavenly pregnancy, and the birth is the master, it is really the favorite of the heavens."

"hiss......"

"The innate body is so powerful?"

"Those innate bodies possess innate spiritual roots that are unparalleled in the world, and they can practice rapidly, so they are naturally powerful." The elder laughed and continued to preach.

...

An hour later, the sermon ended.

The elder looked down and said, "Now is the time for answering questions. If you have any questions, you can ask them."

Several people hurriedly asked questions, and the elders answered them one by one.

As the number of questions decreased, everyone slowly immersed themselves.

During this process, Yang Buyi listened attentively and learned a lot, and many things that he didn't understand became clear.

All of this opened a new door for him, and he seemed to have a clear understanding of the world for the first time.

It took half a day in a flash, and the people on the top of the mountain seemed to be unable to feel the passage of time, and were completely immersed in thinking about practice.

Suddenly.

The elder interrupted everyone's contemplation.

"Seeing that you have all realized something, now you can try to communicate the aura of heaven and earth."

"Inscribed on the stone wall in front of the cliff is the "Ling Ling Jue", which is the basic skill of throwing stones to ask for directions. You must have memorized them when you came here. Now you can try to use the skills to see if you can attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into your body."

"Although the new handyman disciples don't have spiritual roots, they can still memorize and comprehend exercises, which will be of great benefit to your mental state improvement in the future."

The elder said slowly.

Hearing this, some newly promoted outer disciples didn't sense the aura, but directly pulled out the aura with a smile and played with their fingertips.

They all come from cultivating families, and they have been exposed to cultivation very early, and most of them have reached the third or fourth level of Qi training.

Only a few disciples with spiritual roots have never practiced before, and some have spiritual roots but cannot sense spiritual energy.

As the elder's words fell, this group of people closed their eyes like Yang Buyi, recited the mantra silently, and carefully sensed the aura of the day.

 …

An hour later.

"Oh! I can't sense the aura of heaven and earth again!"

The sound was not far away, and Yang Buyi, who also didn't sense the aura, couldn't help but opened his eyes, and saw a dejected young man in black black clothes, and lamented to himself.

"Even the members of the Xiuzhen family failed?" Yang Buyi was startled.

"Be calm, don't be impatient, you have spiritual roots, you will be able to do it." The elder noticed him and comforted him.

 …

"Ah! Elder, I have sensed the aura of heaven and earth."

"That's right, you just keep motivating, and when it's over, I'll get to the bottom of it for you."

"Ah! I also sensed it. The aura of heaven and earth is attached to my skin, as if it wants to penetrate."

"Not bad! Not bad!" The elder smiled and nodded.

"Hey, could it be that I'm the one who has spiritual roots but needs several years to sense the aura? Why can't the aura be sensed that day?" Someone sighed.

There are people around who succeed and fail, and Yang Buyi's mood also fluctuates slightly.

"You have spiritual roots, but you can't sense the spiritual energy. It's because you haven't entered the ethereal realm, and you can't calm down, so you failed!" the elder said.

"Unsettled mind? Ethereal realm? Is tranquility the key?" Hearing the elder's words, Yang Buyi fell into deep thought.

The spiritual root that has been cultivated for more than ten years has already made his state of mind reach the state of neither arrogance nor impetuosity.

Now that he has a spiritual root, it has brought his state of mind to a higher level, reaching a state where his mind is like still water.

From having no hope to having hope, after more than ten years of development, he has become calm and confident.

At this moment, he simply put aside everything, thinking about it, and slowly, he calmed down.

The wind blows gently, as if dancing on the shoulders, taking away the sleeping Chen'er, and blowing away the moisture on the face...

He felt that he was the air, sometimes floating, sometimes still.

At this moment, his mind was empty, following the wind, he merged into the heaven and the earth.

He sensed that there seems to be a mysterious atmosphere between the heaven and the earth, they are sometimes naughty, sometimes cute, sometimes domineering...

They are dancing and joyful like elves, but they can't be touched when they reach out, and the sense of spiritual knowledge is extremely clear.

slowly.

Yang Buyi felt his head was wrapped by something, that feeling was like wind blowing over his face, the touch was so real, but he couldn't see it when he opened his eyes.

"Huh? It's interesting. The aura of heaven and earth is concentrated, and flowers grow three feet above the head. I didn't expect that there is a seedling that can cultivate among the handymen?"

On the stone pillar, the eyes of the elder couldn't help but brighten.
