Chapter 25 The Basics of Immortal Cultivation
At sunset, Wang Hong gathered several people at the gate of the city. The three of them reported the information they had obtained to Wang Hong as they walked.
Qingxu Immortal City is extremely large, with four gates in total, east, west, north, south. What they entered was the east gate, and it took three days to walk from the east gate to the west gate. They only explored a small area today.
The city is not full of immortals, there are also a large number of mortals. Most of them are descendants of relatives of some immortals, and there are not many foreign mortals like them. After all, with the power of a mortal, it is extremely difficult to pass through the Qingxu Mountains. It is estimated that most of them have filled the belly of a certain beast on the road.
Ordinary people in the city can help the immortals with some chores, go to the store to do odd jobs, or take care of the medicine garden, spiritual fields, etc. You can earn about half a piece of Lingshi a month.
The common currency in the city is Lingshi, gold and silver are useless here. Food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city need spirit stones, even ordinary people in the city use spirit stones. If you only buy mundane things, half a piece of Lingshi can buy a lot.
Wang Hong took out a spirit stone from his bosom, held it in his hand and played with it carefully. He got the spirit stone in the city just now and didn't dare to take it out to see more.
The three of them saw the spirit stone in Wang Hong's hand, their eyes lit up, the general was different, he just got the rare item of spirit stone just after entering the city.
Wang Hong threw the spirit stone in his hand to the three of them to watch. The three of them were amazed for a while, this thing is definitely regarded as a top-quality gemstone in the mortal world, and it is priceless.
The four of them walked for more than ten miles, and came to a small hillside. Several camps stood on the hillside, and a small group of people with long guns patrolled the surrounding area.
Several people saw Wang Hong and saluted one after another. Wang Hong waved his hand and asked them to call the chief ministers to his tent for discussion.
This is their temporary camp. The situation was unknown before, so Wang Hong took a few people to the city to investigate first.
In a relatively spacious tent, Wang Hong was in the middle, with ten people standing at the bottom.
"Zhao Ning, tell everyone about the news you found in the city today."
One of the three people who went to the city today stood up and explained in detail all the news he had inquired about today.
Seeing that everyone had finished digesting the information, Wang Hong said, "Everyone followed me through untold hardships, narrowly escaped death, and sacrificed a lot of brothers on the way. Now that we finally arrived in Xiancheng, I still want to ask one more question, should you continue to follow me? Or do you want to find your own way out?"
Everyone hurriedly said: "I will follow the general to the death."
Wang Hong waved his hand to stop him and said: "Don't answer me first, I am no longer the general of the empire, but I am not much better than you when I first arrived in Xiancheng. Opportunities are equal for everyone, maybe you can also stand out here, Break out a piece of the sky. This is also completely possible."
"I hope you can think about it carefully. This is a major matter related to the fate of your life. If you want to leave, I will never stop it. Let everyone get together and leave. Once you have made up your mind, I will not be half-hearted."
"Everyone go down and pass my original words to all the soldiers, think about it for a day, and give me an answer tomorrow."
After everyone left with different expressions, Wang Hong took out a copy of "The Basics of Immortal Cultivation" and looked through it carefully.
It turns out that the immortals in their mortal eyes, to be precise, should be called immortal cultivators, and they are far from real immortals.
It is all practiced by mortals, gradually discarding the false and retaining the true, and retiring from the mortal to become a fairy. Therefore, a cultivator can also be called a cultivator.
Practice from shallow to deep, can be divided into several major realms. They are: Qi training, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen. It is said that there are still many realms behind, and the specifics are not known to ordinary people.
Each large realm is divided into ten small realms, from the first floor to the tenth floor. For example, the first to third floors of the Qi training period are the early stages of Qi training, the fourth to sixth floors are the middle stage of Qi training, the seventh to ninth floors are the late stages of Qi training, and the tenth floor is the Great Perfection of Qi training, which can also be called the peak of Qi training.
The lifespan of the Qi training stage is about the same as that of ordinary people, up to 120 years old, 240 years in the foundation building stage, 500 years in the Jindan stage, 1,000 years in the Nascent Soul stage, and 2,000 years in the Spirit Formation stage .
Of course, the above mentioned is the limit of life span, the body cannot reach a perfect state, and it is inevitable to get injured when fighting with people on weekdays, leaving some hidden wounds. Even some drugs or exercises that stimulate potential will affect the length of life.
Immortal cultivators practice by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and use these auras to nourish the primordial spirit and make the primordial spirit grow stronger.
It is said that after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the Nascent Spirit can leave the body directly. Without the shackles of the physical body, he can teleport and travel tens of thousands of miles a day.
Wang Hong speculates that the virtual body that enters the space every time should be his primordial spirit.
Immortal cultivators must have spiritual roots if they want to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The spiritual root is like a bridge between the primordial spirit and the aura of heaven and earth, and the primordial spirit must pass through the spiritual root to absorb the spiritual power from the outside world.
And most people do not have spiritual roots and cannot cultivate immortality. Even those with spiritual roots have to distinguish whether their spiritual roots are good or bad. Most people also only have the aptitude of the broken spirit root (that is, the five spirit roots).
After reading the introduction about the spiritual root, Wang Hong finally understood the nature of his own spiritual root, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
At Qingyang College that day, the disc used by the immortal cultivator of Taihao Sword Sect should be a magical instrument for measuring spiritual roots.
When Wang Hong measured it, four kinds of light came out: green, red, yellow, and black, which meant that Wang Hong had four spiritual roots, wood, fire, earth, and water, which were similar to the waste spiritual roots.
It belongs to the extremely poor cultivation qualifications. If there is no special opportunity, it will be wandering in the Qi training period for the rest of its life. No sect is willing to accept such disciples to waste resources.
As for his younger brother Wang Yi, all sects would scramble for it. The most talented single spirit root can directly cultivate to the Golden Core stage without any bottlenecks.
"The Basics of Cultivation of Immortals" also includes a lot of content, such as spiritual herbs, spiritual mines, geography and so on. Wang Hong got into the space and watched it all night, and only watched it for a little while.
After a whole night of thinking, starting the next morning, people came to bid farewell to Wang Hong and left, including soldiers, corporal leaders, and even chiefs.
Wang Hong never blamed them. After all, the temptation in front of Jing was too great, so he let him go with good words and gave some supplies as gifts.
These people have followed him for many years and made great contributions to him. Don't treat them too badly.
Until sunset, only the forty-five people in front of him left his original seventy-odd horsemen.
"Is there anyone who wants to leave, and now there is still a chance to choose?"
There is silence below, only the breathing of everyone can be heard. After waiting for a while, Wang Hong said again: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Since all the brothers trust me and are willing to follow me, I, Wang Hong, will never treat you badly!"
"I wish to follow the general to the death!"
Wang Hong divided the remaining people into five teams, each with a team leader and eight soldiers, a total of nine people.
Order them to be led by the squad leader, and practice in the same battle formation every day. You can also hunt some fierce beasts nearby, you can get familiar with the battle formation, and solve the food for everyone by the way. One should not be too idle. If you are idle for a long time, your mind will become loose. Wang Hong was thinking about finding something for them to do.
Everyone can only stay here for the time being. With so many people, it costs a lot of spirit stones just to stay.
Wang Hong returned to his tent and plunged into the space.
"Ah! Where's my spirit stone?" Wang Hong's miserable howl sounded in the space. He casually threw the spirit stone he harvested today into the space. Now even the hair of Lingshi is gone.
"It's so strange, I obviously put the spirit stones in this position. Why are they all gone?"
Wang Hong turned over that piece of soil and checked the space again, but he didn't even find the shadow of the spirit stone.
"Could it be that this space can eat spirit stones? Go find some spirit stones tomorrow and try."
The earliest medicinal materials growing in space today are nearly two hundred years old. There are also many medicinal materials that have been around for decades or hundreds of years.
Because it is not convenient in the army, there are still a lot of spiritual grains accumulated in the space that have not been eaten. These can all be exchanged for spirit stones, but take your time.
After all, money touches people's hearts, and this point is no exception in the world of cultivating immortals. He is currently single and weak, but he dare not be too aggressive.
