Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 121 The Five Elements of Acquisition
Although he has not yet found a way to replace the fourth-level Hunyuan Fruit, he has also found other materials needed to strengthen the spiritual roots and fuse the strengthened spiritual roots, and most of the burden in Xu Ji's heart has been relieved.

After practicing hard in the room for two more days, Xu Ji called back to his father again. After learning that his father had settled the matter with the Xu family, Xu Ji took the teleportation array from college the next day. Luo Tian returned to Fengling Mansion.

"Xiaoji."

As soon as he walked out of the teleportation array in Fengling Mansion, Xu Ji saw Xu Wuwei waiting outside and the young woman standing next to Xu Wuwei.

Seeing this, Xu Ji couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and quickly went up to say hello: "Dad, Mom, why are you back too?"

The young woman standing next to Xu Wuwei was Xu Wuwei's wife, Xu Ji's mother, and Jiang Yundan who had also reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Compared with Xu Wuwei's work, Jiang Yundan, who is also a foundation-building master, is even busier. After Xu Ji entered high school, he was conducting a special research and was isolated from the outside world. Therefore, he had previously participated in the Xu Ji Immortal League Competition At that time, Jiang Yundan did not come back.

Jiang Yundan smiled and touched Xu Ji's head: "Xiao Ji, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown so tall. I just finished my mission not long ago. I didn't expect you to be admitted to Xianda University."

Jiang Yundan also sounded a little emotional. She didn't expect that she had left home for three years for this task of studying the exercises, and even missed her child's Immortal League competition for this reason.

Hearing this, Xu Ji couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Mom, what is your job? Why do you need to be isolated from the outside world for so long?"

In fact, Xu Ji has long been curious about his mother's work, but every time he asked before, his father would give him the excuse that he was still young, needed to prepare for the Fairy League Competition with peace of mind, and that children should leave adults' affairs alone. Just pass it by.

But now that the Immortal Alliance Competition has ended and he has been admitted to the Immortal Spirit Taoist Academy, it is impossible to continue to use such excuses to kill himself, right?
Jiang Yundan thought for a while and explained: "Simply speaking, my job is to improve the exercises, but because of the special nature of the department I belong to, I need to keep it secret. I didn't tell you before because you were still young and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to control it." Shut up, it doesn’t hurt to tell you now.”

"The previous mission was to improve a universally applicable exercise. Including me, many people with in-depth research on the exercise and special talents joined this mission, and even There are also several Jindan masters taking the lead."

"It's just a pity that after three years, there is still no progress in the task of improving the technique, so it was declared a failure."

Xu Ji understood, and looked at his mother with surprise. It may not be simple to have many Jindan masters take the lead in researching the exercises. And if his mother can participate in such a task, I am afraid that there are also some problems in the research of the exercises. Not a weak talent.

However, Xu Ji is still a little confused. Since Jin Dan is taking the lead, the resources that can be mobilized for this task must be quite large, so why not call Kaiyuan directly? Even if the Kaiyuan with Yuanying authority cannot be mobilized, the Kaiyuan with Jindan authority can always be used, right?

Wouldn't it be easier to use the calculation power of Kaiyuan, who is under the jurisdiction of Jindan, to deduce the exercises than through monks?

Doubtful in his heart, Xu Ji asked about his doubts.

Jiang Yundan couldn't help but look at Xu Ji curiously as Xu Ji had learned about the Kaiyuan of the Golden Pill and Nascent Soul without just practicing Qi. Then she thought that Xu Ji had already joined the Xianling Taoist Academy and could understand these things in advance. It wasn't surprising, so I was relieved.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yundan smiled and asked Xu Ji, "Xiao Ji, do you know what the instinct of intelligent life is?"

Xu Ji was a little confused and didn't understand why her mother would suddenly ask such a question, but after thinking about it, she still answered: "It should be to survive."

Not to mention humans, even mortal beasts with only instincts will eat, drink, rest, and mate driven by instincts. This is the instinct of life, the instinct of genes, to keep themselves alive and to pass on the race.

And human beings with higher intelligence can naturally do more in order to survive. They eat cooked food, cure diseases, and nourish the body and mind, all in order to live longer. Even monks who swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth may not be ancient mortals. A way to extend life for survival.

Jiang Yundan nodded slightly after listening to Xu Ji's explanation and said: "Yes, it is survival. Survival is the ultimate instinct of all life. In order to survive better, intelligent life competes for the limited resources in the world for its own survival. Then selfish desires will be born, and then selfishness will be born.”

"In order to satisfy one's own selfishness, the creativity of intelligent life will be stimulated. If there is no wisdom, there is no way to give birth to selfishness, and then it is impossible to have creativity." Hearing this, Xu Ji seemed to understand. He understood his mother's intention, so he couldn't help but said: "Mom, what do you mean is that Kaiyuan does not have wisdom? So he cannot create?"

Jiang Yundan nodded: "Yes, whether it is the authority of Jindan or the authority of Nascent Soul, Kaiyuan does not have real wisdom, so it does not have creativity. It can only be analyzed based on the existing data. But we cannot truly create a new school of exercises and techniques from scratch.”

Xu Ji suddenly realized that with its huge computing power, Kaiyuan's analysis of data was naturally far beyond that of ordinary monks. If there were enough data, it would be possible to correct the flaws and shortcomings in the exercises, but Kaiyuan did not. There is no way to truly create a skill or technique from scratch without data reference.

However, cultivation, exercises, spells, alchemy, talismans, formations, etc. were all developed by the ancestors from scratch little by little on their own. This is creativity, even the very essence of Kaiyuan. It is also a product of human creativity.

If you want Kaiyuan to have creativity, you must let it have wisdom. But how can it be possible for Kaiyuan to give birth to wisdom in the Immortal Alliance?

As Jiang Yundan said before, intelligent life will not only give birth to creativity, but also give birth to selfishness.

If Kaiyuan, who can extract the huge spiritual energy from the spiritual veins and convert it into computing power, has wisdom and selfishness, no one can guarantee what Kaiyuan can do with the help of the computing power converted from the huge spiritual energy in the spiritual veins.

The entire Immortal Alliance may take off with the help of Kaiyuan, but it is also possible that the intelligent Kaiyuan will give birth to a real omnic disaster.

It is naturally impossible for the senior officials of the Immortal Alliance to let Kaiyuan give birth to wisdom, but simply let it become a training auxiliary intelligence that assists monks in their practice.

Xu Ji nodded and asked casually: "Mom, which technique did you study this time? Why did it fail?"

Jiang Yundan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Originally, these news could not be spread outside, and even the personnel involved in the research had to be isolated from the outside world to avoid spreading outside. But now that the mission has failed, it is not too much to tell you about the previous mission. Big relationship.”

"The technique studied this time is the Vientiane Life Technique. This technique, which can increase vitality, is practiced by at least 50% of the people in the Immortal Alliance today. Its biggest flaw is that the cultivation speed is too slow."

"The bone refining chapter is not bad. After breaking through the foundation building, relying on the spiritual liquid to temper the bones can help people quickly pass through the jade bones and cultivate into spirit bones. However, in the viscera refining chapter, in addition to the five elements balancing spiritual roots, the five elements can be used. In addition to speeding up the refining of the internal organs, the others rely on their vitality to refine the five internal organs, but they can only rely on time."

When Xu Ji heard his mother's words, his mind couldn't help but move. Isn't he currently practicing the viscera training chapter of the Vientiane Life Skill?
Although after my own attempts, I could use heavy pressure to speed up the tempering of internal organs in the Chonghai Secret Realm, my own cultivation method did not have much reference value.

First of all, he has reached the extreme state of the Bone Refining Chapter of the Living Souls and Vientiane Technique. The vitality in his body is many times stronger than that of ordinary monks who have mastered the Bone Refining Chapter of the Living Souls and Vientiane Technique. Therefore, it is enough to sustain himself while recovering from internal organ injuries. Next, temper the internal organs additionally.

The second is the Chonghai Secret Realm. Even though the Immortal Alliance is vast, the number of secret realms is limited. Most of them are concentrated in many Taoist academies. Like the secret realms above Daluotian, unless they are students of the Xianling Taoist Academy, Otherwise, unless special, generally only Jindan Zhenren have the authority to enter, and ordinary monks naturally do not have the conditions to temper their internal organs with the help of the heavy pressure of the secret realm.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that there is no method to speed up the internal organs refining with vitality in the Zang-Refining Chapter of the Living Soul Wanxiang Gong. It can only be worn out by time.

Xu Ji couldn't help but continue to ask: "Mom, then your mission is to improve the Zang Refining Chapter of the Vientiane Creation Technique so that it can use vitality to temper the internal organs faster?"

Jiang Yundan nodded and said: "Almost, the original goal this time is to temper the five internal organs with vitality and stimulate the power of the five elements in the five internal organs, forming an acquired balance of the five elements to temper the five internal organs, and the vitality It becomes the firewood that activates the acquired balance of the five elements and tempers the five internal organs, thus greatly increasing the speed of tempering the five internal organs."

At the end, Jiang Yundan also sighed slightly and said: "If it can be done, I'm afraid it can really change the pattern of the entire Immortal Alliance and stimulate the power of the five elements in the five internal organs to form an acquired balance of the five elements in the body. I'm afraid the benefits it will bring are not only the ability to speed up Tempering the internal organs is so simple, but it’s a pity that this idea failed in the end.”

!! ?
Balance the five elements the day after tomorrow? !
When Xu Ji heard this, his eyes began to brighten unconsciously. What he lacked to be able to fuse and strengthen his spiritual roots was the power of balancing the five elements in the fourth-level Hunyuan Fruit to assist in merging his spiritual roots.

If one can rely on the zang-refining chapter of the Living Soul Wanxiang Gong to stimulate the five internal organs and the five elements in one's own body to form acquired balanced five elements, can this replace the role of the fourth-level Hunyuan Fruit? !
Xu Ji asked eagerly: "Mom, why did this idea fail?"
