Fairy Tree

Hearing this, Xiao Lin felt speechless. He now had nothing but a dozen or so taels of silver, and his original idea of ​​going to the inner city to see something was completely given up.

The next day, Xiao Lin left the inn early in the morning and headed towards Fangshi in the east of the city.

As soon as he arrived at Fangshi, Xiao Lin heard all kinds of cries, which made him very curious, but he also really understood what Luo Shou said about the difficulty of cultivation for low-level cultivators. These low-level cultivators The sellers are like market vendors, constantly hawking, and when they see someone coming, they introduce their items with a smile on their faces. If the visitor leaves without interest, they will shake their heads dejectedly, and then start again. Cheer up and continue hawking.

Xiao Lin walked around for a while. Although he always felt that his memory was good, he was a little dizzy from the dazzling array of products.

He came to a stall selling basic exercises. The stall owner was a strong man about forty years old, with a beard and a body as strong as a calf. What surprised Xiao Lin even more was that he brought Xiao Lin a Amazing pressure.

Although Xiao Lin couldn't tell the strong man's cultivation level, he knew with this pressure that the strong man's cultivation level in front of him must be much higher than his own.

A piece of oilcloth was spread out in front of the strong man, with several books placed on it.

Xiao Lin came up and picked up a book.

"Fire Yang Kung Fu?" Xiao Lin flipped through a few pages and put down the book. This is the basic fire-attribute technique, and the Dry Water Sutra he practiced is the water-attribute basic technique. He has no intention of changing his training methods until he finds one that is truly suitable for him.

Picked up another book.

"Dry Water Sutra?" Xiao Lin was slightly stunned when he saw these three words, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Fellow Taoist, are you interested in this Dry Water Sutra? This is the complete version of the basic exercises of the Dry Water Sutra. It records in detail the cultivation techniques from the first to the sixth level of Qi refining. All you need is two low-grade spiritual stones. But..." Seemingly seeing Xiao Lin's expression, he felt that the business was in trouble, and the big man said to Xiao Lin with a smile.

Xiao Lin's heart moved, but his face remained calm. Only now did he realize that the Dry Water Sutra he practiced should be a fragmented copy, with only one to three levels of magic formulas in it. For him now , there is no impact yet, but once you reach the peak of the third level of Qi refining, you will encounter the embarrassing situation of having no skills to practice.

"Are there only basic skills?" Xiao Lin asked lightly.

Hearing this, the strong man's eyes lit up: "I still have two basic skills books here, but they are a little more expensive. One book costs 20 low-grade spiritual stones."

"I'll take another look." Xiao Lin put down the technique in his hand and walked towards the other stalls, ignoring the disappointed man.

Soon, Xiao Lin came to another stall. When he glanced at it, he actually saw a spirit mist grass on the stall. However, the mist of the spirit mist grass on the stall was very thin, and it obviously did not have its own. That plant is old.

The person setting up the stall was a girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. She had two braids and scaly golden ornaments on her hair. She had thin eyebrows and big eyes. When she saw Xiao Lin coming over, she smiled slightly and showed her two eyes. An intoxicating little dimple.

"Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy spiritual grass? This spiritual mist grass has a medicinal effect of twelve years. It can be used to refine spiritual pills to improve the cultivation of our Qi refining period cultivators. If It’s not that I’m in urgent need of spiritual stones, I’m reluctant to sell them.”

Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile. The girl in front of him was about the same age as himself, but she looked very experienced in doing business.

"How can I sell this Spirit Mist Grass?" Xiao Lin said expressionlessly.

"Twenty-two low-grade spiritual stones. If my fellow Taoist sincerely wants it, I will take the twenty low-grade spiritual stones."

Xiao Lin shook his head, and then continued to walk towards the market. He walked around for a while and looked at several stalls selling talismans and materials. He even saw a magic weapon in a larger stall. It is exactly the same as my own ebony shield. There is a piece of paper next to it with an introduction written on it [Ebony shield, an elementary magical weapon, can defend against one hit from an intermediate attacking magical weapon, and more than ten hits from an elementary magical weapon. It is worth sixty yuan. Low grade spiritual stone. 】

Seeing the introduction really surprised Xiao Lin for a long time. He didn't expect the price of the magic weapon to be so high. He even had the urge to take out the ebony shield in his arms and sell it, but after thinking about it, he gave up. , Although I have just embarked on the path of cultivation, I still need some means to protect myself. Although I am short of money and can't come up with half a spirit stone, there is nothing that I urgently need at this stage.

"Huh?" Xiao Lin suddenly made a sound of surprise. He saw a few miscellaneous books placed on a stall selling basic exercises in front of him. One of them was called "Complete Explanation of Common Sense of Cultivation". Xiao Lin hurriedly left. I went over and picked up the book and flipped through a few pages.

"Hey, fellow Taoist, could it be that you are a casual cultivator who has just come to Wuyin Immortal City? This book [Comprehensive Knowledge of Cultivation] is most suitable for fellow Taoists. It can avoid you from taking many detours. My father spent ten years compiling this book. It only costs ten taels of silver, and you don’t even need spiritual stones. It’s an absolutely reasonable price.” The stall owner is an old man in his fifties or sixties, with a goatee, a small nose and small eyes.

After just flipping through a few pages, Xiao Lin closed the book again and said without any expression on his face: "Although this book contains detailed records of some common sense, many of them are familiar to us. Some special records are actually It’s not much, the minimum price for this book is.”

"How is it possible? If you are a cultivator who encounters immortal fate by chance, I dare say that you don't know most of the common sense here. Seeing that the fellow Taoist is somewhat sincere, I will take away the eight taels of silver."

"Five taels." Xiao Lin said lightly.

The stall owner had a troubled expression on his face: "This price doesn't even cover the original cost. Fellow Taoist, please add more."

"Just five taels, or I'll leave." Xiao Lin said decisively, then turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, fellow Taoist, don't leave. Okay, let's do a loss-making business today. Just treat it as a friend. Five taels is just five taels."

After paying the silver, Xiao Lin left Fangshi. In this Misty Immortal City, he learned from a chat with the shopkeeper yesterday that there was a place where silver and spiritual stones could be exchanged. One hundred taels of silver could be exchanged for ten taels of gold, and ten taels of gold. It can be exchanged for a piece of low-grade spiritual stone, which is why there is still gold and silver circulating in the world in this Mist Hidden Fairy City.

Indeed, as the old stall owner said, this [Complete Knowledge of Cultivation Knowledge] is indeed what he needs most at this stage. When he flipped through a few pages, he saw a word that interested him very much - spiritual root.

After returning to the inn, he closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed and read the book "Comprehensive Knowledge of Cultivation".

After reading for three or four hours, Xiao Lin closed the book with a thoughtful expression on his face.

According to the book, not everyone can cultivate. If you want to cultivate, you must have a basic condition, which is spiritual roots. Spiritual roots are divided into two types: manifest spiritual roots and hidden spiritual roots. The manifest spiritual roots include metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There are five kinds of hidden spiritual roots, including four types of ice, wind, thunder and darkness. The manifested spiritual roots are easy to detect. There is a special place for testing spiritual roots in Wuyin Fairy City. As long as you pay a certain amount of spiritual stones, you can measure them, while the hidden spiritual roots are very easy to detect. It is difficult to measure, at least it cannot be measured in this Mist Immortal City. Only when you enter the five major sects and enter the sect, you will have a chance to measure it, because it costs a lot to measure the hidden spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots are divided into five types according to their quality, namely pseudo spiritual roots, mortal spiritual roots, true spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots, and heavenly spiritual roots. On top of the heavenly spiritual roots, there is also the legendary fairy spiritual root. , Pseudo-spiritual roots are those with more than four types of manifested spiritual roots, and the spiritual light points of the manifested roots are all less than ten. Although such people can practice, their cultivation speed can only be described as a turtle crawling. If they are not lucky enough to encounter them, The great opportunity is that basically he can only linger below the fifth level of Qi refining for his whole life. Not only is there no hope for the road, but even building the foundation to become a true cultivator is a luxury.

Those with ordinary spiritual roots have less than four types of spiritual roots, and at least one spiritual light point is between ten and twenty. Although such people are better than pseudo-spiritual roots, even if they practice until death, they will only be able to cultivate to the late stage of Qi refining at most. It is basically impossible to build a foundation.

True spiritual roots are not limited to the number of spiritual roots. As long as there is a spiritual root with a spiritual light point of more than 20 and less than 60, it will be classified as a true spiritual root. Such people only need to work hard to cultivate in line with their spiritual light point of 20. Even if the aura-attribute skills mentioned above cannot be perfected at the end of the practice, there is still some hope for foundation building.

Earth Spiritual Roots are considered geniuses among cultivators. Such people are not limited to the type of manifesting spirit roots. As long as there is a kind of manifesting spirit root with a spiritual light point of more than 60 and less than 80, they will all be classified as Earth Spiritual Roots. Such people are cultivators. The speed is relatively fast. Of course, you must practice the exercises that match the highest attributes of your aura points. As long as you practice hard and don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days, there is still great hope for building a foundation in this life. If you work harder, By chance, it is not out of reach to form a golden elixir and live a five-hundredth birthday. There is even a glimmer of hope that one day the Nascent Soul will be fully realized.

As for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, it is a certain kind of Manifestation Spiritual Root whose spiritual light points have reached an astonishing level of more than eighty. The cultivation speed of such a person can only be described as astonishing. The cultivation speed is at least ten times that of ordinary True Spiritual Root practitioners. What makes people even more crazy is that cultivators with Tianling roots have a natural probability of breaking through the bottleneck of more than 30%.

On top of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, there is also a legendary spiritual root, which is the Fairy Spiritual Root. The Fairy Spiritual Root refers to single spiritual root cultivators whose spiritual root aura points are above ninety. This type of people are also considered It is called the Immortal Body, and its cultivation speed is so fast that it takes a hundred years to form a baby. However, the number of cultivators with the Immortal Spirit Root is also so small that the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains have established sects. It has been at least thousands of years now, but I have never encountered more than one palm cultivator with the Immortal Spirit Root. Moreover, this kind of people are easily jealous of God. Although they practice extremely fast, they are also prone to accidents. They can really practice alive. There are very few who have reached the Nascent Soul stage.
