How difficult is it to practice
Over the course of ten thousand years, those seniors who advanced to a high level used their own life experience to sum up the essential points for the younger generation to go on a path of practice.
Talent, skills, elixir, magic weapon, and money—it can be said that none of these five is indispensable in order to go to the end.
Needless to say, talent, if a person does not have a Dao foundation, he will not be able to take half a step on the road of cultivation even if he guards the wealth that is incomparable to the enemy. The strengths and weaknesses of the Dao Foundation are also the basis for advancement.
Those who have the Daoist foundation among mortals are one in ten thousand. In the splendid era of self-cultivation, Qi training period is not even considered a real monk. From qi training to foundation building, the gap in the middle will keep those qi training monks with four attributes or five attributes without special opportunities from the real threshold of practice for the rest of their lives.
Except for the core area of Dongtian blessed land with abundant spiritual energy, the monks hide in the deep mountains with beautiful mountains and clear waters. One and a half, or two, or even more... Over time, the gap between two people with similar aptitudes will gradually widen.
The elixir can make you have a little more resistance to advance when you are in a bottleneck, and can shorten the time of practice or increase the effect of practice in normal times. It is really an indispensable necessity for home travel.
As for a powerful magic weapon, it can increase the safety of the monks on the long road of practice—as long as the mortals keep going, there will always be new monks emerging, but there are some natural and earthly treasures that need to be harvested for thousands of years. As time goes by, how can it keep up with the consumption of monks? With the passage of time, disputes over a hundred-year-old spirit grass can be seen everywhere. If you use a good magic weapon, you can naturally save your life in the battle, and even grab the spiritual grass and elixir that can deepen your cultivation, it really kills two birds with one stone.
Needless to say about money, although a monk's lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people, he can't find the raw materials for alchemy and equipment every time - China has a vast territory. This is a waste of time and energy. At this time, the importance of financial resources can be highlighted. If you have financial resources, even if you wait in the cave, countless monks who need money will come to sell and exchange.
Of course, the "money" here is not the Huaxia banknotes of today!
After Lin Luoran thought that he might have poor aptitude, he didn't have the heart to practice fireball, and naturally he didn't have the energy to try refining weapons for the time being when he returned to his room.
On the contrary, the phoenix hairpin bought for 50,000 yuan lay quietly on the table, its unique shape was very attractive.
Both dragon and phoenix belong to the traditional totems of the Huaxia tribe, and they can be seen everywhere today, not to mention in ancient times. In some dynasties, they were even special patterns for emperors. It is a taboo for ordinary people to use them, right? Allowed.
But no matter how forbidden it is, it can't match the love of beauty among folk women. Gold wares are too conspicuous. Jewelry made of silver and pearls is unavoidable to see the figure of the phoenix.
It's just that the one that Lin Luoran bought looks so fake that it's an outrageous "antique". The shape of the hairpin's head is very strange, but it's the shape of a rare double-headed phoenix—maybe, one is a phoenix and the other is a phoenix? Lin Luoran has not yet had the ability to see the individual differences of Phoenix, and this idea is just a sudden thought.
The clerk in the jade shop was naturally kind, but Lin Luoran didn't feel sympathetic when he saw other people being pitiful.
Because of the special material properties of pearls, they cannot be handed down for thousands of years like jade, and the longer they are worn by people, the warmer they will be. Therefore, antiques made of pearls are very difficult to determine in the collection field—except No matter how knowledgeable you are as a collector, it is still difficult to explain the origin of a bare bead.
Even ordinary jewelry will only have a store logo on it, and there is no history to verify who wore the bead flower, so it is difficult to determine the value.
What's more, the one that Lin Luoran bought is in such a good condition, it's an antique, there's no trace of weathering, and it's so new that it looks like a pearl hairpin strung last year, it doesn't look like an antique at all!
More importantly, it's blue—hey, don't be too obvious about being fake, well, in this world, except for acquired dyed pearls, how can there be blue pearls
But Lin Luoran still bought it, not because the old man said it was an antique, but because she felt a very faint but definitely existing aura from the pearl hairpin—she is a rookie in cultivation, yes, but she just looked for it A little more, it has aura, like emerald, even if you don't know it, you can't hide the truth that it is a good thing!
So, this is considered a leak, right
Lin Luoran thought that what he spent was Huaxia banknotes, and he bought items related to cultivation, and his slightly depressed mood before was finally relieved a lot.
But, what exactly is this blue double-headed phoenix bead hairpin
Lin Luoran looked at it for a long time, and it was a unique pearl hairpin. Could it be that it was once a jewelry worn by a nun, and it has been carried around for a long time, so it has a trace of aura
Lin Luoran immediately vetoed this idea, not to mention whether female cultivators would wear earthly bead flowers, even with exceptions, ordinary materials could not keep the aura for so long without dissipating.
So what exactly is this thing
Could it be something like a jade card... Lin Luoran decided to try it out. When choosing the aura in her body, she instinctively avoided the fiery red aura. The blue bead seemed to carry a The moist feeling should not be suitable for fire-type aura.
The aura without any attributes penetrated into Fengchai without any hindrance, and as the blue light lit up bit by bit, the whole Fengchai underwent an astonishing change!
First, the double-headed phoenix was split into two, and then the hairpin body, which was originally without any cracks, slowly split open. If it weren't for the fact that both the head of the phoenix and the body of the hairpin were too neatly split, Lin Luoran thought it was a rash probing, and made a mistake. This blue bead phoenix hairpin is broken—it’s just that you’re separated, and you’re still growing up slowly, what’s the point of that
Lin Luoran frowned and said nothing, wondering if she should continue to fill it with spiritual energy, she was afraid that it was a one-time high-risk thing, and unfortunately the only condition for activation was to fill it with enough spiritual energy... she would not Do you carry it like this
Rookie Lin looked at the double-headed phoenix hairpin... Wrong, now there are two single-headed phoenix hairpins with uncertain eyes, and then looked at Commander Qin's elegantly decorated villa. Place to throw!
Lin Luoran thought about it, and decided to go to an open place to try again, so she withdrew her aura, and the two one-headed phoenixes jumped up and down, not sure if they were venting their dissatisfaction, but rather unwillingly, they moved closer and turned back into The double-headed phoenix-blue pearl hairpin with no seam can be found. From this point of view, it is really a wonderful workmanship.
