Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 1144: Inheritance of Qualifications

From that day on, Cui Ying would log in to the "Q&A" section of the secret network every time she had free time.

One point asks a question, and she has many points to ask as many questions as she likes.

For example, she asked questions: "Where is the coldest environment in the universe?" "What are the most precious animals and plants in the underworld?" "Who has the flower of the other side, or its seeds?"

While raising questions, she began to think about questions that she had not wanted to think about before, such as what was the magic circle in the Netherworld Cave? How did Mrs. Dong upgrade the Netherworld Cave? What is the relationship between Yin Ming Dao patterns and Yin system runes? How does the Great Monk build the Yin Ming Cemetery?

The Four Arts of Cultivation include the Alchemy Talisman Formation. In the past, Cui Ying had only been exposed to Yin talismans, and had a little dabbling in Yin-type elixirs, but had not yet touched on talisman arrays and magic weapons. As her skills continued to improve, these things began to enter her field of vision.

As an immortal monk, how do you pass the long years? That is to constantly explore new things, infinitely expand your horizons, infinitely improve your abilities, enrich yourself step by step, and unknowingly become a big shot that is admired by others.

Cui Ying accepted Dong Xiaowan's suggestion and began to learn the "Yin Ming Dao Pattern".

She discovered that the Dao pattern is a combination of a single Yin symbol, an upgraded version of the Yin symbol. The Dao pattern is an intermediate between the runes and the magic circle.

To put it simply, some runes are simple and some are complex. Simple ones have 50-200 strokes, and complex ones have 1000-2000 strokes. But there are at least tens of thousands of Dao patterns. It is equivalent to 10-100 Yin talismans, which together form a Dao pattern. A magic circle often requires hundreds or thousands of Dao patterns to be composed.

Dao patterns are alive, like long snakes, which can entangle and strangle enemies. They can also form restraints and compress one's own essence, thus improving the realm of skill.

The Dao pattern itself is divided into different levels, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and other colors. Some Dao patterns are very simple and appear in red; some Dao patterns are very complex and appear in blue or purple. In addition to these seven colors, there are also colorless and transparent Tao patterns, which are invisible to ordinary people and can only be seen by opening the Third Eye. The immortal formation is mixed with transparent Dao patterns, which can greatly enhance the killing effect.

The formation of Dao patterns requires special laws and conditions, and those laws require learning to master.

She is a person from the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms. Although she graduated from Langya University, her mathematical foundation is still very weak. There are too many branches of mathematics. Geometry alone is divided into projective geometry, analytic geometry, Riemannian geometry, Euclidean geometry, differential geometry, topology, etc.

It doesn't mean that hundreds of runes randomly combined together can form a Dao pattern.

For this reason, after Cui Ying consulted Dean Lu Jinya, she went to Langya University to take courses related to Dao pattern, and even took some geometry, algebra and analytical mathematics.

She gritted her teeth and studied these courses, which unknowingly broadened her horizons and improved the depth and breadth of her thinking.

Cui Ying discovered that learning mathematics can not only improve intelligence, but also expand the marrow sea and spiritual consciousness, which is similar to entering the spiritual cultivation array. Therefore, she specially purchased a batch of restorative tea and drank tea while taking online classes.

As a result, her spiritual consciousness expanded at a very fast speed, gradually leading the master Bu Xu at the same level.

Cui Ying wrote a short article about her realization and published it in the "Small Cultivation Experience" section of the secret network. Unexpectedly, such a small article actually won many people’s rewards! Although each person's reward was not much, the points accumulated one after another, bringing her a profit of 280 points in just two years.

And three years later, this article was seen by a certain Immortal Lord located in Yuxu Peak, who was affiliated with the Academy of Life Sciences, and selected it as a topic to conduct deeper research. He didn't want to take advantage of his juniors, so he gave a one-time reward of 1500 points! Cui Ying beamed when she saw the points and returned home to share her joy with her husband. She returned to her ancestral home during the holidays and bought some gifts for her parents, nephews and nieces.

After Lu Chenjun's younger sister Lu Ning'er advanced to the Golden Pill, she worked as an alchemist at the "Spiritual Pill Hall" affiliated with Langya City.

The finished products of "Spiritual Elixir Hall" are mainly elixirs. The elixirs are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. The elixirs of the heavenly level are higher up. The elixir is for monks below Xuanxian level. The elixir is given to immortals and is divided into levels one to nine. Beyond the elixir, there are two realms: the divine elixir and the holy elixir. The elixir is suitable for Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors. Holy elixirs are elixirs that the Immortal Emperor swallows when he becomes a saint or when a saint advances.

The key to alchemy is skill and mastery of medicinal properties. If you don't have enough skill, you can only refine low-level elixirs. High-level elixirs involve runes. Higher-level god-level and holy-level elixirs even involve Tao patterns and talisman formations. If the alchemist has not become an immortal, he will generally not be able to make an elixir, unless he is extremely lucky and gets help from heaven, and occasionally gets an elixir.

For this reason, the Lu family attaches great importance to cultivating high-level elixir masters.

Lu Ning'er had just entered the "Spiritual Pill Hall" and could only refine yellow-level elixirs. Despite this, her salary is much higher than that of ordinary people, which is enough to support her cultivation and live a comfortable life.

Comparatively speaking, her second brother Lu Chensheng and her third brother Lu Chenheng have not established a foundation. Without a foundation, they cannot be regarded as cultivators. They live a secular life on weekdays. Although the materials in this era are extremely rich, they are no longer Hunger and hardship, but everyone's living conditions vary greatly.

To give a simple example, as a Jindan master, Lu Ning'er usually eats spiritual peaches, spiritual grains, and monster meat rich in spiritual energy, but the second and third brothers rarely get to eat these things. One is that the salary is low and one cannot afford spiritual food; the other is that one’s skills are low and one cannot digest the food. As a result, as time goes by, the quality of life of the two types of people becomes further and further apart. One is on the road to immortality, while the other can only live for a few hundred years before his soul is separated.

The Lu family's soul lamp can only summon the souls of monks with a golden elixir or above, and it can also summon the souls of outstanding scientists among mortals. If they are mediocre mortals, even recalling the souls is meaningless.

The population of the Lu family is already large enough. If it doubles every 25 years, what's the point of having more people?

Furthermore, the spiritual energy in the world of Datong is limited. Even in a super cultivation world, cultivation resources cannot be wasted at will.

Although the Lu family can carve fairy jade balls and evolve them into fairy spirit veins, the number of fairy spirit veins that each planet can carry is limited. If you want to increase the number of fairy spirit veins, you can only rely on the constraints of the magic circle, and there are too many fairy spirit veins. If so, it is not suitable for mortal existence. The fairy spirit veins provide fairy energy, which is an isotope of oxygen. If the content is too high, it will cause harm to the mortal body.

Lu Chensheng and Lu Chenheng had poor qualifications. Even if they practiced hard, it would be difficult to improve their level, so they got married early and had children, placing their hopes on the next generation. However, the qualifications of the next generation may not be that good.

In the final analysis, it is still the old saying, God helps those who help themselves, and those who help themselves will always help. You, a mortal, can't marry a well-qualified wife, so how can you give birth to excellent children?

If you are a great monk, it is easy to marry a wife with excellent qualifications, and there will be more cultivators among your children.

This is completely in line with the laws of genetics.

Based on this rule, some heirs of cultivating families, whose own qualifications are not very good, would rather give a large amount of betrothal gifts and rely on their wealth and power to select the best among the best and choose a suitable partner for marriage. Only in this way can talented people appear in the next generation.
