Thank you Huanmeng, for giving me a thousand prizes for children's shoes, I am the first author of this book, and I would like to congratulate you!
It was night in Yizhuang. Jiang Chen was sitting cross-legged on the bed in his room. In front of him was the book of Shangqing Dao Jue that Uncle Jiu had passed down to him. Under the control of his internal power, the pages of the book were turning over on their own. Let him read it calmly.
Well, although he has some other expectations, this so-called Shangqing Dao Jue contains neither the golden elixir Yuanying nor any spiritual transformation. As Uncle Jiu said, it is just a book that teaches people to meditate and absorb. A basic skill that converts the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's own magic power.
Only with magic power can you perform Taoist magic. Just like internal strength and moves, the principle of Taoist magic is also the same. This is why the blood of Uncle Jiu and Taoist Master Four Eyes can subdue the walking corpse, because they are forming seals. At that time, his own magic power had been integrated into the blood.
After reading it over and over several times, Jiang Chen imprinted every word and symbol in the book in his heart, making sure to memorize it every time, and then he began to comprehend and practice for the first time.
Cultivating Taoism is different from practicing martial arts. It pays more attention to one's own talents and opportunities. There is usually a saying of "hundred days of foundation building", which means that in the first 108 days of monasticism, the ascetics do everything possible to accumulate mana, condense a spiritual root, and lay down a spiritual foundation. The basis of spiritual practice!
Generally, spiritual roots must have at least nine strands of mana as the foundation. The higher up, there are twelve earthly branches, twenty-four heavens, thirty-six heavens, seventy-two earth evils, one hundred and eight small heavens, three hundred and six heavens. The more mana accumulated, the better the condensed spiritual roots will be.
Spiritual roots, also known as fairy roots, are related to a cultivator's future achievements. They are extraordinary and extremely important. Therefore, every cultivator will pay special attention to the first hundred days of cultivation to achieve the best possible results. After completing a hundred days of foundation building, Jiang Chen was naturally no exception.
Because he has experience in practicing internal strength, the first step into meditation is not difficult for him at all. The next step is to comprehend the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is not difficult for Jiang Chen, whose martial arts has reached the realm of an innate master. In fact, the process of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body is also very simple, but refining the spiritual energy entering the body into mana , but it was a realm he had never been exposed to before.
Fortunately, in the first two reincarnation worlds, although he had no chance to contact the immortal way, he also practiced the ancient martial arts and internal martial arts to the innate realm, whether it was refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into true energy, or transforming it into flesh and blood to enhance his power. , is considered experience, so after some hard work, he finally succeeded in condensing his first ray of mana!
For ordinary Taoists, even if they are extremely talented, they have no foundation after all. It is already extraordinary to be able to condense a ray of magic power when practicing Tao Jue for the first time. However, for Jiang Chen, this is just the beginning. After all, as a martial arts master, his foundation is ten times or a hundred times better than that of ordinary practitioners
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but with the condensation of the first ray of mana, Jiang Chen's practice soon got on the right track. As he rotated the Taoist formula, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was drawn and gathered by him, and 480,000,000,000,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,800,000,800,000,00,00 pieces of 480,000,000,000 pieces of magic energy flowed from his body to his body. Thousands of pores poured into his body continuously, and he condensed it into his own magic power.
In one night, Jiang Chen gathered thirty-six rays of mana. If he wanted to, he could even directly smelt it into his own spiritual root, and then he could start practicing Taoism. But is he a short-sighted person? Naturally, you will not ignore the importance of foundation building just for the sake of quick success.
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen got up early for morning exercises as usual, and so did Jiu Shu and Wen Cai. Qiu Sheng, on the other hand, rarely came over so early because he was at his aunt's house in the town.
After all, Uncle Jiu had been cultivating Taoism for many years. He could tell the changes in Jiang Chen at a glance. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Junior brother, have you already condensed your magic power?"
In this regard, Jiang Chen naturally had nothing to hide and immediately responded truthfully: "Yes, I stayed up all night last night and practiced hard, and I have successfully condensed my magic power."
"Wow! Junior uncle, you are so amazing. You have mastered your magic power in just one night!" Hearing this, Wen Cai Dang couldn't help but exclaimed: "I practiced for seven days before I could master it. It’s worth condensing the first ray of magic power.”
"You have the nerve to say that you are stupid!" Uncle Jiu snorted coldly, glared at him, and then turned to Jiang Chen and said pleasantly: "As expected of a master of martial arts, he has a strong foundation. However, junior brother, you must not slack off. , a hundred days of foundation building is very important, you must gather as much mana as possible to create the best foundation."
Facing Uncle Jiu’s kind words, Jiang Chen immediately responded respectfully: “Please remember this, little brother.”
For the next period of time, Jiang Chen practiced hard. Perhaps, as Uncle Jiu said, as a martial arts master, he had a strong foundation. Almost every time he practiced, he was able to condense thirty or fifty rays of mana. Over a period of time, he accumulated There are already two hundred and forty strands of mana.
You know, even his master Jiu Shu, who spent a hundred days building the foundation, could only gather a total of seventy-two strands of mana to smelt the immortal roots. Even so, among the disciples of the Maoshan Sect in the past hundred years, it is still considered to be nothing. Excellent qualifications!
But Jiang Chen continued to practice regardless. Anyway, he had already made up his mind, and he would not be able to condense his immortal roots until he had practiced for a hundred days.
However, although he had a good idea, after more than ten days, he had to give up the idea, because after he condensed 365 rays of mana, no matter how he practiced, he could no longer condense it. There was nothing he could do about the 366th ray of mana, so he had to ask Uncle Jiu for advice.
When Uncle Jiu heard that he had condensed 365 rays of mana, his eyes widened involuntarily, and he was stunned for a long time. Then he replied with a wry smile: "Junior brother, I forgot to tell you, There is no record in the book that building the foundation in a hundred days and condensing the immortal roots with 365 strands of mana is already the limit of my Maoshan sect's skills. Unless you can get a more profound and profound skill than our Maoshan sect, otherwise, No matter how much you practice, you may not be able to condense the 366 rays of magic power."
"I see." When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "So, senior brother, can I directly condense my immortal roots and learn Taoism now?"
"This..." Uncle Jiu hesitated for a moment, but said: "It's better to wait a few more days. You are practicing too fast. Although you have a deep foundation, it is better to be careful. These days , you can polish and refine the mana accumulated in your body, and try to make the mana as pure as possible, which is also good for condensing the immortal roots."
"Yes, senior brother." Jiang Chen did not hesitate about this. After all, he came from the era of information explosion. His vision is as broad as anyone's. Naturally, he understood what Uncle Jiu meant. Since the amount of mana cannot be increased, then increase it. The quality of mana can also improve the level of immortal roots.
"Junior brother, although you are the latest to get started and have not been here for a long time, I have to admit that you are much better than my two incompetent apprentices." Uncle Jiu looked at Jiang Chen and became more and more satisfied. He stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder, and said: "Go back and rest. Get up early tomorrow. Someone has asked me to discuss things. Junior Brother, you will also follow me. I will take you to taste foreign tea."
When Jiang Chen heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart. However, he remembered the scene in the reincarnation plot when the master and apprentice Jiu Shu and Wen Cai had an embarrassment in the cafe, but he said Said: "Senior brother, this is a bit uncomfortable, after all, it is you who are invited."
Uncle Jiu said: "What's the matter? You are my junior brother and you have seen the world, so you can give me some advice." At this point, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "I almost forgot, Junior brother, you lived in Hong Kong before, so you must have drank foreign tea, right?"
Jiang Chen responded with a smile: "Of course."
"Okay, okay!" Hearing this, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He immediately rubbed his hands and asked, "Then can you teach me what's the point of drinking foreign tea?"
"Of course." Jiang Chen responded, and then roughly told him the details of drinking coffee. Uncle Jiu frowned and went away. With Jiang Chen's hearing, he could still hear his muttering from a distance. :
"I really didn't expect that there are so many details about foreign tea. It seems that I must bring my junior brother with me tomorrow. Well, there are also literary talents. If something happens, I can let him top the vat... ..."
Jiang Chen couldn't help being speechless for a while, and cried in his heart: Senior brother, is this really okay for you
