The Wonderful Way

Chapter 5 Detecting Spiritual Roots
Most children in the world of cultivating immortals will test their cultivation aptitude at the age of five, because the spiritual root will only be revealed at the age of five.

The monks in the late Yuanying period don't need to use magic tools such as spirit measuring disks or spirit measuring beads. They only need to scan their spiritual sense to see how qualified their spiritual roots are.

At this time, Niubei Village was bathed in the morning light, and Chu Miao was standing in the damp yard that hadn't cleared up in the early morning, surrounded by a burst of gentle consciousness.

Although Chu Yi knew that her daughter must be a person with spiritual roots, she was still a little cautious and explored Chu Miao's aptitude.

But for a moment, Chu Yi withdrew her consciousness and hugged Chu Miao, feeling such joy never appeared in her heart since He Rumeng's death.

"Miao'er, you are the rare mutant Thunder Lingen! Now you can rest assured!" After speaking, Chu Yi could not stop smiling.

When Chu Miao heard that she was actually Lei Lingen, she was also overwhelmed with excitement. Cultivator Lei Lingen has always been extremely powerful in combat, and more importantly, Lei Lingen doesn't need to care about the catastrophe that the monks will change their colors when they hear about it!

In the world of cultivating immortals, spiritual roots are divided into eight types: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, and thunder. Among them, monks with five spiritual roots are the most difficult to cultivate.

Due to the need to cultivate five kinds of spiritual energy at the same time, it is often the case that the spiritual power of several systems has not been cultivated to the advanced stage when the life span is approaching.

The Three Spiritual Roots and the Four Spiritual Roots are the most common ones in the world of cultivating immortals. Although they are slightly better than the Five Spiritual Roots, it takes more effort and a firm mind to go further.

Most of the elite disciples of the various sects and the highly valued descendants of the families have dual spiritual roots, especially the wood-fire, fire-earth, earth-metal, gold-water, and water-wood spiritual roots that complement each other.

Single spiritual roots are not uncommon even in large sects. There are almost no bottlenecks for monks with single spiritual roots in the Qi refining period and foundation building period.

A monk with a single spiritual root has pure aura, and it is easier to form a golden pill of the seventh, eighth or ninth rank.

There must be gains and losses. Once a monk with multiple roots becomes a high-level monk, he will have more fighting methods than a monk with single roots.

However, the three mutated spiritual roots of ice, wind and thunder are different from monks with single spiritual roots. Theoretically, there is nothing that can be completely restrained by these three spiritual roots.

These three are very domineering attributes, so they are generally stronger than monks with five elements of spiritual roots in fighting.

In addition, the three-line spiritual root of ice, wind and thunder will not coexist with other five-element spiritual roots, and the speed of cultivation is naturally similar to that of a monk with a single spiritual root.

Often when the mutated spiritual root is in the world, it will definitely be cultivated by the sect or family.

Although a monk's heart and understanding are also very important, if he cannot advance within a limited lifespan, no matter how good the heart is, no matter how high the understanding is, he will only regret to fall.

When Chu Miao detected the fire and wood spirit root of Xiangsheng in her previous life, she was already regarded as the No. 1 key cultivation in her family. Although she did not practice hard, she can be regarded as a leader in the sect.

Thinking of such a rare mutated Thunder Lingen in this life, Chu Miao felt both excited and sour.

Before, she was still complaining in her heart about the injustice of the heavens, favoring Jiang Chan favorably, but she forgot that she wasted all her life in exchange for the ending like her previous life.

In fact, the way of heaven has never been unfair. The aptitude in the past life is accompanied by the incomprehension of the world, and the good aptitude in this life will definitely be accompanied by a more difficult road full of hardships.

Because the reason why the way of heaven lasts for a long time is that it is fair and does not interfere with anyone or anything in the world.

After it evolves these dark beings and let everything go with the flow, monks can rely on their own groping to go further.

It's a pity that I didn't understand these truths when I had an alchemy cultivation base, and I never even thought about it.

In this life, you can no longer live in such a muddled way, you must make your own strength worthy of such a good qualification.

Ever since Chu Yi finished testing Chu Miao's aptitude, she has been rummaging through the storage ring to find suitable Qi-refining exercises.

Cultivators almost always practice "Qi Yang Sutra" and "Qi Yin Jue" during the Qi-introduction and Qi-refining phases, and they will only find suitable exercises for their spiritual roots when they build their foundations.

High-level exercises can even be practiced from the foundation-building stage to the stage of transforming gods, and after the stage of transforming gods, monks will ascend to the spirit world. There will naturally be better choices of exercises, and even talented people create their own. Suitable for their own exercises.

Now what Chu Yi needs to decide is the kung fu that Chu Miao will use during the Qi refining period, and after the establishment of the foundation, there will be almost no thunder system kung fu in other than the big sect.

Considering that Chu Miao already had practice experience, Chu Yi chose a qigong method called "The Sutra of Fetal Breath".

"Fetal Breathing Sutra" is a little more difficult than the general qi-training exercises, and it is considered a top-ranking exercise. The fetus is formed by the real god, and the breath is the real breath formed by the cessation of internal and external breathing.

But the true spirit is nature, breath is life, this practice starts directly from spirit, and aims at life and soul.

If it is the first time for young children to practice, almost all of them practice the first-level low-grade exercises, which are easy to learn.

Chu Miao had practiced for many years, and although she was a bit confused, her common sense foundation in cultivation was fairly clear, so she was very satisfied after seeing the "Two Breathing Sutra".

The two discussed some future cultivation. The father and daughter agreed that it is reasonable not to just try to advance quickly, but also to build a solid foundation of physical and spiritual power step by step.

Chu Miao was not in a hurry to draw the breath into her body, one was that she was going to read the "Birth Breathing Sutra" once, and only started after she had fully memorized it in her mind.

The second is that there is not enough aura in Niubei Village. Chu Yi is going to take her to Niubei Mountain where aura is a little richer. Although the aura in the depths of Niubei Mountain is not worth mentioning to monk Yuanying, it is enough to draw the aura into the body.

Chu Yi thought that she had already stayed in this mundane world for six years. Although it had no effect, if she wanted to continue her cultivation, she had to leave. When her daughter entered the Qi refining period, she could find a city of immortality to live in first.

When Chu Yi went out to teach the children in the village, Chu Miao was reading the "Breath Breathing Sutra" at home, and just as she had finished reading all of them, the jade slips in the sea of ​​consciousness shook slightly, alarming Chu Miao.

Chu Miao hurried into the house and entered the jade slips with her soul, only to find that there was also a copy of "The Sutra of Fetal Breath" floating in front of her as steadily as that novel.

Flipping through the pages, the book in front of me is even more obscure and difficult to understand. It is already a first-order super-grade exercise. This jade slip can improve the rank of the exercise!
Chu Miao finally knew the usefulness of the jade slips, although she felt that this item should have more than one purpose, but the current one is suitable for it.

After Chu Miao read through the upgraded version of the "Breath Breathing Sutra" on the jade slips, the exercises exploded into a ball of light and disappeared, and Chu Miao's soul was also kicked out of the space of the jade slips and returned to her physical body.

She tried several times outside to call out the jade slips from her sea of ​​consciousness, but all ended in failure. Chu Miao thought that it was probably because her cultivation was not enough, and her spiritual consciousness was almost non-existent.

Now that she knows that she has a spiritual root and has a jade slip that can improve the rank of her kung fu, Chu Miao is no longer impatient, and silently recites the "Fetal Breathing Sutra" that she has written down in her mind over and over again, in order to draw qi into her body for tomorrow be prepared.

The next day was not yet full light, Chu Yi pulled Chu Miao onto a small flying boat that could hide her figure, and went to the depths of Niubei Mountain.

Chu Miao looked at the flying magic weapon she saw for the first time in her life. It was much higher level than the one she used in her previous life. The boat seemed to be carved from a whole piece of white jade, not too big but very delicate.

There were many formations carved on the inside and outside of the boat wall, Chu Miao didn't know much about formations, she could only vaguely see that there were acceleration formations, defense formations and concealment formations, and she didn't know any of the other formations.

The small boat didn't fly with all its strength, and drifted forward unhurriedly above Niubei Mountain. Chu Miao watched the clouds and mist shrouded below, occasionally revealing a green mountain ridge, and felt the beauty of cultivating immortals for the first time.

After arriving at a dense forest that no one had stepped into, Chu Yi opened a small open space near the mountain wall, and after setting up a low-level spirit-gathering formation and a high-level defensive formation,
Putting a thick futon woven with pure heart grass in the middle of the open space, he nodded to Chu Miao, motioning for her to enter the formation.

Chu Miao crossed her legs and turned her heart to the sky. After taking a look at Chu Yi, she slowly closed her eyes and sensed the aura gathered by the formation.

But in a moment Chu Miao entered a state of ecstasy, and everything around Fangfo no longer existed, and gradually Chu Miao sensed the aura slowly flowing around her.

Chu Miao was not in a hurry, following her previous experience of drawing qi into her body, she let herself slowly blend into it to attract aura, and aura felt Chu Miao's existence, but only brushed past her.

After a stick of incense, the spiritual energy finally began to flow into Chu Miao's skin and into the meridians.

As soon as the aura entered her body, Chu Miao felt a comfortable coolness all over her body, and she silently ran the "Fetal Breath Sutra", allowing the aura to circulate around the meridians in her body.

As more and more spiritual energy entered the body, Chu Miao's meridians swelled up, causing some slight pain. It was the spiritual energy that was expelling impurities from the body.

Chu Miao didn't dare to be careless, endured the discomfort and ran the exercises over and over again, sweating profusely from her head.

I don't know how long it took before there was a "boom" in Chu Miao's sea of ​​consciousness. The consciousness had been initially washed away, and the spiritual energy in the body had also circulated for a small week and then returned to the dantian. At this time, Chu Miao was already training Qi. A first-tier monk.
