Chapter 15 Pure Yuan Gong and Spiritual Roots

Shi Feng picked up the thin book and saw the words "Pure Yuan Gong" written on the cover, and said, "Then this Pure Yuan Gong is also the lowest-grade entry-level technique."

Chang Qing chuckled, "That's right and that's not the case. Supposedly, this is indeed the most basic introductory technique, but if you dare to say that, I will keep you going to the torture hall to receive punishment tomorrow."

Shi Feng looked at Changqing, a little confused.

Chang Qing explained, "Junior brother, when we practice qi, the techniques we practice are ever-changing, but the purpose is always the same, which is to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and store it in the sea of ​​qi. The spiritual roots of monks are different, so the vitality they absorb is also different. It’s different, just like I have a golden spiritual root, so I naturally have to absorb golden spiritual energy. The so-called technique is how to absorb the vitality.” He patted the Pure Yuan Kung Fu and said, “The same is true for this Pure Yuan Kung Fu, but since it’s named. It’s called Chunyuan, which means to purify the vitality of heaven and earth, so it also records the absorption techniques of the five vitalities of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.”

Shi Feng said blankly, "Then, wouldn't that be better?" Changqing said, "What's so good about this? Although the methods of absorbing five kinds of vitality are recorded, how can you still absorb five kinds of vitality at the same time? Besides, the five elements are in conflict with each other. , if you absorb both water and fire energy at the same time, the two kinds of energy are intertwined in the body. If you are lucky, they will offset each other. If you are not lucky, you will go crazy on the spot. In addition, if you have a golden spiritual root, you will not have any other energy at all except the golden spiritual energy. May absorb other attributes of spiritual energy."

Shi Feng asked, "Then why does this Pure Yuan Gong record five different methods of absorbing Yuan Qi at the same time? Isn't it useless?" Chang Qing said, "It's not useless. The biggest advantage of this technique is Everyone can practice it, no matter what spiritual root you have, you can find a corresponding technique in it. Therefore, if you are a new disciple of the inner sect, you can get a copy. However, this technique absorbs and transforms the world. The speed of spiritual energy is very average, and almost no one practices it.”

Shi Feng was puzzled, "What does it mean to absorb and turn into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Chang Qing said, "In general, there are three types of cultivation: body, method, and function." Shi Feng was suddenly confused.

Chang Qing said, "The so-called Kung Fu is your physical and spiritual roots; the so-called Kung Fu is the way you absorb and transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the function is your magical power to fight with others." Shi Feng nodded.

Chang Qing continued, "Pure Yuan Gong is a skill. It is a method that absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and coexists in the Dantian, and converts it into one's own magic power. When comparing the level of a skill, it depends on the speed at which it absorbs and transforms the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The more it absorbs, the better. The faster the transformation, the higher the grade naturally. Some high-grade exercises are more than a hundred times more effective than low-grade exercises. Our Taiji Sect has been established for thousands of years. Over the years, the sect masters have created and collected from outside. There are more than a hundred kinds of techniques, including some top-grade techniques.”

Shi Feng couldn't help but ask, "Since there are so many high-grade exercises, it would be great if everyone practiced the high-grade exercises. Why should we practice low-grade exercises?" Changqing laughed, "You think well. Although there are high-grade exercises It is faster to absorb and transform spiritual energy, but it is also more difficult and risky to practice, and most of the high-grade exercises require the foundation building stage or even the golden elixir stage to practice. Qi-refining disciples who have just started to practice have no way of practicing, they can only slowly start from the low-grade exercises. Start practicing."

Shi Feng said, "Since Chunyuan Gong is indeed a low-grade skill, why does senior brother say that it is also not?" Changqing said, "The reason is actually very simple. In terms of effectiveness, Chunyuan Gong is indeed low-grade. The technique is true, but it was created by the founder of the sect himself. It is said that the ancestor founded the Taiji sect with his bare hands. At the beginning, he accepted many disciples in the Qi refining period, but they had no technique at that time. His cultivation level is already very high, but his techniques are not suitable for beginner disciples to practice. In addition, the spiritual roots of beginner disciples are different and multifarious, so the ancestor created this Pure Yuan Gong, which covers five kinds of spiritual roots, making people Everyone can practice.”

Shi Feng suddenly understood and Chang Qing said, "Since the Patriarch personally created this technique for the entry disciples, it will naturally be passed down from generation to generation, because all inner disciples must receive a copy." Shi Feng nodded repeatedly. , "That's it," Chang Qing said, "Although no one will practice this technique, junior brother, you have to be careful. After all, it was given by the ancestor. You must not lose it, let alone pass it on to others. , Otherwise, if those old guys from the sect know about it, you will be in bad luck."

As the two of them were talking, the sky was getting dark. Shi Feng couldn't help but feel a little hungry and asked, "Brother, I wonder where we will eat tonight?" Chang Qing was stunned, and then remembered, "We cultivators It’s not common for ordinary people to go without food for dozens of days. When you’re hungry, you’ll take some Bigu Pills. Today, I forgot to pick up some for my junior brother. I happen to have a bottle here. Take it first, and you’ll be able to have fasting pills for four to five days. . Don’t be polite, we inner disciples can get this stuff at the Deacon Hall at any time, it’s completely free.”

After hearing this, Shi Feng thanked him and accepted the vial. Chang Qing said, "Okay, it's getting late. You've had a hard day, so go to sleep first. We'll talk about things tomorrow. There are no monsters or poisonous insects on this mountain, so you can rest assured." After that, he said goodbye and left.

Shi Feng sent Chang Qing away, sat down, and looked around. Although the walls were empty, he was very satisfied. After all, he was less than fourteen years old and had been wandering for a year. He was already content to have a place to stay.

Shi Feng poured out a Bigu Pill from the bottle. The pill was about the size of a broad bean and slightly yellow in color. When he smelled it, it had no smell. Put it in your mouth, you can chew it once your saliva is moist, but the taste is really ordinary, like eating cotton wool, and it is difficult to swallow. Shi Feng went back and forth twice during the day and remembered that there was a mountain spring not far from the house. He went out to find the spring and drank some spring water. As soon as the elixir entered his stomach, he immediately felt full and actually burped.

When he returned to the house, it was completely dark. Shi Feng searched the house but found no oil lamp or candle, so he had no choice but to sleep with his clothes on. He slept until midnight, but was woken up by the cold. There were no quilts in the room, so Shi Feng could only find the blue robe issued by the sect to cover himself. The strange thing was that the green robe was only a thin layer, but the coldness was greatly reduced when it was covered with it. Shi Feng simply took off the rotten cotton-padded jacket on his body, put on the green robe directly, and slept soundly until dawn.

Early the next morning, Shi Feng got up and had nothing to do, so he opened the book of Pure Yuan Gong. It was filled with small regular scripts, such as "How to perform the Kung Fu, you still need to use the three words of concentration, forgetfulness, and cessation", "Qi flows outside" "Xi, the spirit also travels outside; the spirit returns to the roots, the Qi also returns to the roots." "How it is fire, it is breathed the day after tomorrow; how it transports fire, it breathes down and inhales up." Shi Feng couldn't understand it at all.

At this moment, Chang Qing's voice outside the room said, "Seventh Junior Brother, are you up?" Shi Feng hurriedly put down the book and said, "Good morning, Senior Brother." Chang Qing had already walked in, and saw Shi Feng looking at the Pure Yuan Kung, and smiled. He asked with a smile, "How is it? How is your understanding?" Shi Feng said, "Senior brother laughed at it, but I can't understand it at all."

Chang Qing said "hehe", "Don't worry, this pure Yuan Gong is not difficult to understand. I will explain to you slowly in the future that the rules of our Tai Chi Sect and the basic exercises of the beginner disciples are generally those of the senior disciples." Come and teach me, you can come to me from now on." Shi Feng said in surprise, "How can I practice this technique without spiritual roots?"

Chang Qing said, "Who said you can't practice without spiritual roots? You just can't absorb and transform the spiritual energy. Once you practice this technique, although you won't be able to produce magic power, you can still live longer and have nothing to do. There's no harm in practicing. "Shi Feng said, "I keep hearing from my senior brother about spiritual roots. What exactly are these spiritual roots?"

Chang Qing said, "The so-called spiritual root refers to a person's natural constitution. There are many types of spiritual roots, which are generally classified according to the five elements, including gold spiritual roots, wood spiritual roots, water spiritual roots, fire spiritual roots and earth spiritual roots. Does a person have spiritual roots? Spiritual roots are destined by God and have nothing to do with wealth, poverty, height, fatness or thinness. There are billions of people in the world, but only one in a million can possess spiritual roots."

Shi Feng said, "Senior brother said yesterday that if you have spiritual roots, you can absorb the spiritual energy of transformation. If you don't have spiritual roots, you can't absorb the spiritual energy of transformation?" Changqing said, "That's right. In fact, the world is full of vitality. The differences are some. Some places have denser vitality, while some places have thinner vitality. Even ordinary places still have vitality. The breath of ordinary people also contains vitality, but people without spiritual roots cannot extract this vitality and transform it into their own. "

Shi Feng said, "The so-called golden spiritual root means that the body can naturally absorb golden spiritual energy?" Changqing said, "Exactly, people with golden spiritual roots absorb golden spiritual energy through exercises and store it in their Dantian. This golden spiritual energy will not be lost and can gradually It thickens and turns into one's own magic power. However, no matter how much spiritual energy is absorbed, it will disappear in an instant."

Shi Feng said, "In this case, why did Senior Brother teach me to practice this Pure Yuan Gong?" Changqing said, "Although your Dantian Qihai cannot accumulate real energy, by breathing in the energy of heaven and earth, it can temper your skin and bones, allowing you to Strengthening the body and prolonging life are also good things." Shi Feng nodded and understood.

Chang Qing's conversation became more interesting again, and he said, "Actually, spiritual roots are not only divided into five elements, but also divided into grades one to nine. The first-level spiritual roots are only slightly stronger than ordinary people. Such people have almost no chance of being on the great road. Some small sects will also accept the second-level spiritual roots." Disciples with spiritual roots, but the inner disciples of my Tai Chi Sect must have at least a third-level spiritual root. However, the spiritual roots become much rarer and more precious each time they rise."

Shi Feng said, "Senior brother, what level of spiritual root are you?" Changqing smiled proudly, "I am a sixth-level golden spiritual root, and I can rank among the top 100 disciples in the Qi refining period." Suddenly his smile faded and he sighed, "But There is an elder in our sect who is actually a ninth-level ice root that defies heaven. There are not many in Yan State."

Shi Feng asked, "How do you know the level of this spiritual root?" Changqing said, "This is simple, just use the soul measuring board you saw yesterday. The bluestone on it can activate how many spiritual roots there are. ." Shi Feng remembered pressing his hand, but not a single one came out.

Shi Feng asked, "Is there anyone who has two spiritual roots at the same time?" Changqing said, "Of course there are. Such people are called dual spiritual roots, and their number is naturally even rarer. However, there are many types of dual spiritual roots. There are theories of twin spiritual roots and twin reverse spiritual roots. The so-called twin spiritual roots mean that two spiritual roots are complementary, such as gold and water spiritual roots, and people with twin spiritual roots recover their mana faster than ordinary people and are the most durable. The so-called double reverse spiritual roots mean that two spiritual roots are in conflict with each other, such as water and fire spiritual roots, and water overcomes fire. It is particularly difficult for people with double reverse spiritual roots to cultivate, but once they are successfully cultivated, their magical powers will be particularly powerful. If you encounter them. An enemy has dual spiritual roots, so it’s best to run away.”

Shi Feng said, "It seems that people with dual spiritual roots are far more powerful than those with single spiritual roots." Changqing said, "That's not necessarily the case. There are some things in the world where more essence is more valuable than more, and dual spiritual roots absorb two kinds of spiritual roots at the same time. Spiritual energy often bites off more than it can chew, and it may not necessarily be stronger than a single spiritual root. In addition, there are many types of dual spiritual roots. Even if they are both gold and water spiritual roots, it depends on which level of gold spiritual root or water spiritual root you have. If it’s a sixth-level golden water root or a first-level water spiritual root, then it’s better to just concentrate on practicing the metal-based skills.”

Shi Feng asked again, "Are there still three spiritual roots?" Changqing said, "Theoretically speaking, there may be three spiritual roots, four spiritual roots, and even full spiritual roots. However, people with single spiritual roots are already in trouble. First, it is rare for a monk to have double spiritual roots. How likely is it to have full spiritual roots? "

Shi Feng asked, "Are the ninth-level spiritual roots already the highest? Are there any that are higher than the ninth level?" Changqing said, "You mean the tenth-level heavenly spiritual roots. This also exists in legends. It is said that heaven People with spiritual roots can absorb true energy twice as fast as those with ninth-level spiritual roots. The ninth-level spiritual roots are already incredible, and the tenth-level spiritual roots, I have never heard of, anyway.”

Shi Feng said, "It turns out that just one spiritual root contains such great knowledge." Chang Qing said, "Of course. Junior brother, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the sect today and take you to get some Bigu Pills by the way. "

The two talked while walking, Chang Qing said, "Spiritual roots are the foundation of cultivation. As you said, the knowledge is very great. If you are interested, you can go to the Sutra Pavilion and read the classics. I remember, three hundred years ago An elder of our sect wrote a special treatise on spiritual roots, which was discussed in great detail. There are many details involved, such as dual spiritual roots. It depends on which level the two spiritual roots are at, and whether to practice dual cultivation. When practicing dual cultivation, which technique should be practiced first and which technique should be practiced later, or the two techniques should be practiced alternately, how to connect them, how to prevent the techniques from backlash, etc." Shi Feng nodded repeatedly.

As they talked, they went to the Deacon Hall to receive the Bigu Pill, and by the way, they helped Shi Feng receive five low-grade spiritual stones. Inner disciples can receive five spiritual stones every month. These spiritual stones are colorful, the size of a little finger, and crystal clear.

Chang Qing explained, "Lingshi, because of its crystal shape, is also called spar. Lingshi is also divided into five elements. It contains a certain amount of spiritual power. It is a currency commonly used in our cultivation world. Of course, in addition to being used as currency, the spirit stone contains Spiritual power can also be absorbed directly by people, and spiritual stones are also indispensable auxiliary tools for formations, elixir refining, weapon refining, etc. "
