Chapter 43: Condensing the Roots of Heaven and Earth
The description of immortality in "Five Spirits and Qi Techniques" made Li Fan feel more and more creepy the more he read it.
Before the golden elixir stage, it was relatively normal, with the ability to absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, fake the wonders of heaven and earth, and peek into heaven and earth.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the painting style gradually became crazy.
Seize the essence of heaven and earth, extract the marrow of heaven and earth, sacrifice the soul of heaven and earth...
Even to the final defiance of heaven and earth.
Just reading these words can make people feel terrified.
The way of heaven is high above, giving birth to and nourishing all things.
Those who practice immortality in this way are tantamount to turning against heaven and being treasonous.
Don’t the immortal cultivators know what this means?
However, this kind of practice makes progress too fast.
The book records that since the Immortal Lord preached the religion, a large number of mortals who were originally unable to practice have suddenly emerged in just a few decades.
Monks with Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen and other cultivation levels have sprung up one after another.
At that time, the world of immortality was so prosperous that golden elixirs were everywhere and Yuanying was not as good as a dog.
As for the immortal cultivators who originally insisted on cultivating immortals through ancient methods, seeing their cultivation levels being easily surpassed by mere mortals, how many of them can stick to themselves and not try the methods of the Immortal Lord?
As a result, the practice of ancient methods gradually declined; new methods gradually took their place.
Thousands of years after the new method became popular, the world of immortality has also reached its peak.
It's a pity that the laws of nature are clear and the best will inevitably decline.
Countless monks greedily plunder the resources of heaven and earth like wolves and tigers, without any restraint.
Even the increasingly frequent catastrophes cannot suppress the growing number of monks.
So, finally one day, Heaven's counterattack came.
The world changes dramatically, and a catastrophe comes.
From now on, the immortal method cannot be practiced together!
The prosperous and prosperous world of cultivating immortals felt like a blow to the head.
The monks fell into endless killings of each other for a chance of survival.
For a long time, the world of immortality has been in decline.
It took thousands of years to slowly ease up.
Today's monks have become accustomed to the malice of heaven and earth.
They summed up their experiences and lessons, and established a new order of immortality in the wasteland of immortality after the great catastrophe.
…
After introducing the origins of today's world of immortality, the rest of the book is about the method of "Five Inspirations and Qi".
If a mortal who has eliminated the miasma cannot easily introduce the qi into his body, he can cultivate his own five spirits, forcibly absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and then refine it, breaking through to the qi refining stage.
The so-called five spirits refer to the five emotions that humans are born with.
Greed, fear, rage, hatred, egotism.
These five emotions are hidden in the human heart and are inexhaustible and endless.
The Five Spirits Qi uses these five spirits as power and fuel to cultivate the [roots of heaven and earth] in the Dantian.
The root of heaven and earth connects the monk's Dantian with heaven and earth. Once formed, the monk can use it to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turn it into his own use.
Compared with the ancient method of cultivating immortals, which all depends on qualifications, the Five Spirits and Qi method highlights one stability.
Those with excellent qualifications can cultivate the roots of heaven and earth in one day and one night and embark on the road to immortality.
And even those who have no qualifications for cultivating immortals can still form their own roots of heaven and earth within ten years at most through hard work day after day.
After mastering the method of introducing Qi into the body, Li Fan lived in seclusion every day and practiced the "Five Inspirations and Qi Method" at home.
Even though he was mentally prepared, his path to immortality might not be so smooth.
But just like this day after day, three full years have passed, and Li Fan still hasn't succeeded in attracting energy.
Li Fan is very clear about his talent in cultivation. He is not a genius with his talents, but he is definitely not bad either.
There is actually another reason for this situation now.
"Xuanhuang Heart Refining Curse... It's really unpredictable." Li Fan felt helpless.
These five spiritual qi need to use the five emotions as fuel to promote the formation of the roots of heaven and earth.
However, Li Fan practiced the Xuanhuang Heart Refining Mantra and had very little accumulation of these five emotions.
Even if he didn't deliberately run the Heart Refining Spell, it was like instinct, spontaneously shattering these negative emotions in his mind.
It was equivalent to moving forward with a heavy load, which also caused Li Fan's extremely slow progress.
Li Fan also tried to introduce Qi into his body without using the roots of heaven and earth.
But he obviously doesn't have Xiao Heng's talent.
The aura outside his body seemed to completely ignore him.
Without the guidance of others and relying on his own exploration, Li Fan really wasn't sure how long it would take to introduce Qi into his body.
Therefore, Li Fan decided to use the Five Inspiration Qi method to break through to the Qi refining stage.
Slow is a bit slow, but the best thing is stability.
What Li Fan lacks most is time.
At the beginning of the three years, He Zhenghao occasionally sent people to inquire about Li Fan's cultivation status.
But after Li Fan made no progress for a long time, he didn't send many people here.
On the Tianbao Tower side, because of Li Fan and Xiao Heng, although the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce is no longer the backstage, the business situation on the surrounding islands has actually improved.
No one wants to offend a company that may have a fairy background, so they try to avoid conflicts with Wanbaolou as much as possible.
Therefore, Wanbaolou has vigorously expanded its market in the past three years, and it is booming.
Yin Yuzhen's confidence increased even more, and she was gearing up to try to return to Yelan Island to regain control of the Tianbao Tower headquarters.
…
Li Fan only occasionally cared about external things.
Most of his energy is focused on cultivating the roots of heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, this matter cannot be rushed.
Li Fan estimated that if nothing unexpected happened, it would take him about two years to succeed.
Having been bored at home for a long time, Li Fanjing was very restless on this day and wanted to go out for a walk.
Without alerting anyone, he changed his clothes, put on a felt hat, and came to the market on Liuli Island.
Nothing seems to have changed here from three years ago.
There are sounds of bargaining, shouting and soliciting customers, and sounds of playing and fighting.
Here, Li Fan felt the long-lost "human touch".
All kinds of thoughts in my mind popped up in large numbers like dry saplings being nourished.
In this moment, the root of heaven and earth has made more progress than if he had practiced hard at home for three days.
Li Fan suddenly realized.
For ordinary monks, retreat and meditation are necessary, because ordinary people do not lack the five spirits as fuel.
Li Fan was in a special situation, and the heart-refining spell was running in his mind all the time, and these distracting thoughts turned into nourishment for his strong spirit.
And this five-spirit energy method is obviously not as advanced as the Xuanhuang Heart Refining Curse, so you can't rob many of them, you can only pick up some missing ones.
Li Fan can't change this situation yet. If he wants to speed up the formation of the root of heaven and earth, he needs to increase the number of distracting thoughts in his mind every day.
It is obvious that daily retreat is not enough, and one needs to join the world.
After understanding this truth, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little happy.
It seems that it may not take two years for him to enter the Qi refining stage.
…
"Elder Li?" At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.
Li Fan turned his head and saw the other person's appearance clearly. He paused for a moment before remembering who it was.
Surprisingly, it was Zhang Haobo, the captain of Liuli Island Cangyuan, whom he had met once before.
