Chapter 59: Xiaobai's Entry Into Taoism (I)
Li Yan didn't know how his cleverness could be hidden from people who had lived for hundreds of years.
At this moment, his seventh senior brother was popularizing basic knowledge for him. Lin Daqiao didn't know that there was no suitable person to talk to here in the past few years, and he said that he was very responsible. He conscientiously implemented the task assigned by Li Wuyi and told all the common things he knew about the world of immortal cultivation. This approach also made Li Yan learn a lot of unknown things.
First, he told Li Yan about the level division of the world of immortal cultivation, the attributes of spiritual roots, and divine consciousness, which Li Yan already knew. Of course, Li Yan couldn't show that he knew it, otherwise the previous words would be exposed. Now he was a blank sheet of paper, but after listening carefully, he had a new understanding and learned a lot of new knowledge.
Lin Daqiao said it one by one, from the division of realms to the practice of fasting, etc., which made Li Yan fascinated.
For example, after the division of levels, there is a difference in the honorific titles between immortal cultivators. This is not based on the saying of the mortal world that whoever is older is the elder. For immortal cultivators, everything is divided only by strength, and the one who is one level higher is the elder. When an 80-year-old Qi Condensation Stage disciple meets a 20-year-old Foundation Establishment Stage youth, he must respectfully call him "Senior". If the two belong to the same sect, they must call him "Uncle Master" or "Uncle Master", otherwise the other person may destroy you with a single move. The strict hierarchy is several times more cruel than that of the mortal dynasty.
When you meet people of the same generation, you cannot use your spiritual sense to scan them randomly, which is very impolite. If you meet someone with a bad temper, it is common for parents to take action immediately; if you meet a senior, you must not use your spiritual sense to scan them randomly or look around with your eyes, unless you have a strong backing, or the senior happens to be magnanimous, otherwise it is basically a death sentence.
In the world of immortal cultivation, if one reaches two realms higher, he must be called "Old Ancestor", and if one reaches three realms, he must be called "Grand Ancestor". As for the fourth realm, there are still no cultivators in the mortal world who have reached the stage of transformation of spirits. It is said that after reaching the late stage of Nascent Soul, if one wants to go further, the rules of heaven and earth and the concentration of spiritual energy here can no longer support it, and one must ascend to the world of immortals.
The Wuliang Sect currently also has five Nascent Soul Grand Elders. It is said that two of them are old monsters in the late stage of Nascent Soul with super combat power. Why did these two not ascend to the world of immortals? With Lin Daqiao's low level of cultivation, he is not qualified to know these secrets of the sect.
After hearing these, Li Yan realized how reckless some of his actions in the main hall in front were today. After entering, he arbitrarily explored everyone. Although it was not a divine consciousness, this was just one in the open and one in the dark, what was the difference?
These levels are also reflected in the matter of apprenticeship. Generally, only those who are one level lower will be accepted as apprentices, unless you are extremely talented and favored by the elders. In that case, they will accept you into the sect across several levels. But at most, you will be a nominal disciple like Lin Daqiao and Li Yan. Until one day, you have cultivated to a certain level, then you will be formally accepted as a disciple. Therefore, the skills are generally taught by senior brothers who entered the same level earlier or masters who are one level higher. It is rare to teach skills across levels.
This made Li Yan understand why Senior Brother Lin of the Steward Hall was surprised when he heard Li Wuyi call him "Junior Brother". He also
Knowing that this fat master was quite caring for him, but this made him a little surprised. He didn't know why the master he was worshipping now cared so much about him. He couldn't help but think of everything in the military advisor's mansion, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
Lin Daqiao did not notice Li Yan's uneasy expression and continued to tell Li Yan in a fluent manner, which forced Li Yan to temporarily put aside his wild thoughts.
Next, he talked about spiritual stones. The three stones in Li Yan's storage bag were them.
Spiritual stones are a kind of mineral born between heaven and earth. They are part of an entire spiritual vein. Spiritual stones contain spiritual energy of different attributes required for cultivation by immortal cultivators. Of course, a spiritual stone generally has only one attribute. Only in very few special spiritual stones can spiritual energy of different attributes coexist in different areas.
Spiritual veins are divided into living spiritual veins and dead spiritual veins. Living spiritual veins are the spiritual energy that travels between heaven and earth by itself, just like what Li Yan felt in the Wuliang Sect. They are emitted by huge spiritual veins buried deep underground. The spiritual energy is continuously produced due to the cycle of the five elements. As the sun and the moon continue to grow, the spiritual energy will become more and more dense, and finally gather in the air. Similarly, spiritual veins also have attributes. For example, there is a huge living spiritual vein with earth spiritual energy at the foot of the Four Elephants Peak, which allows people who practice earth attribute exercises to practice faster. Xiaozhu Peak is a living spiritual vein with water spiritual energy.
The dead spiritual vein is due to the change of the rules of heaven and earth, so that the original living spiritual vein can no longer continue to breed new spiritual energy. With the passage of time, the spiritual energy in these spiritual veins slowly settles and stabilizes in the vein stones, and these vein stones are spiritual stones. Of course, living spiritual veins are also composed of spiritual stones, but the spiritual energy in those spiritual stones is abnormally active and difficult to absorb and master.
The spiritual stones are divided into four grades, low grade, middle grade, high grade and top grade, because of the different concentration and purity of spiritual energy in them. As long as the cultivators hold the spiritual stones, they can practice in places without spiritual energy, and they can also quickly restore their spiritual energy in the battle. Of course, the spiritual stones have many other functions, such as driving magic arrays, driving spiritual tools and magic tools, using puppets, refining tools, etc., all of which require spiritual stones.
Therefore, it is a must-have for cultivators. First, it can be used for cultivation, refining tools, and refining pills; second, it is a common exchange currency in the world of immortals. The yellow and white things in the mortal world are useless here.
In addition to being divided into fire and water veins according to their properties, the spirit stones of these spirit veins are also divided into low-level, medium-level, and high-level spirit veins due to the different qualities of the spiritual energy they contain. The spirit stones mined from the same spirit vein are generally of similar quality, but it is not ruled out that high-quality spirit stones will appear in the core of the spirit vein.
Generally speaking, living spirit veins will not be mined, and who would do such a thing as killing the chicken to get the eggs.
Lin Daqiao said that the best spirit stones he had seen were the several middle-level spirit stones from several senior brothers, and each of them was hidden like a treasure. High-level spirit stones are probably only available to Jindan Daxiu like his master and the great ancestors of the sect. As for the top-grade spirit stones, they have only been heard of in legends, and it is estimated that the entire sect may not have one or two.
Speaking of spiritual tools and magic tools driven by spiritual stones, Lin Daqiao picked up the storage bag on the table and slapped it. A ray of light flashed, and a small mini sword and a shuttle-shaped boat-like thing flashed in the air.
A glimmer flashed in Li Yan's eyes. This was the third time he saw a storage bag being used, but he was still curious. He didn't know what was in this small bag. He had to ask for clarification later.
"Little Junior Brother, look, these two are spiritual tools, both made by tool refiners."
The Laojun Peak of the Wuliang Sect not only refines elixirs, but also has a group of tool refiners and talisman refiners. This is something that every second-rate sect or above will have more or less, but the four major sects have many top-level tool refiners and talisman refiners on this continent.
The instruments used by immortal cultivators are not weapons that ordinary people can use. They must be able to input spiritual power of different attributes. In this way, even if it is a divine weapon among ordinary people, once the spiritual power of immortal cultivators is injected, it will immediately break into pieces or even turn into dust, not to mention using it to fight against the enemy.
And the instrument refiner is a special type of immortal cultivator. They can refine some natural treasures into instruments used by immortal cultivators. The instruments refined by the instrument refiner are divided into spiritual instruments, spiritual treasures, magic instruments, magic treasures, immortal instruments, and immortal treasures from low to high. It is said that there are also holy instruments and holy treasures in the upper realm.
But in this world, it is very rare for a Qi Condensation disciple to have a spiritual weapon. For example, it is impossible for Qi Condensation disciples of third-rate sects to have a spiritual weapon.
Spiritual treasures are higher than spiritual weapons, and they are several levels higher in power and quality. They are inferior to magic weapons, which are generally only used by advanced Qi Condensation disciples and disciples in the early stage of foundation building;
Magic weapons are generally owned by powerful cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and their power is enough to shake the world;
Magic treasures can only be used by Jindan masters and Yuanying ancestors. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can turn rivers and seas upside down and turn the sun and moon upside down. As for immortal tools and immortal treasures, Lin Daqiao doesn't know if the sect has them. They are all legendary immortal objects, and one thing can destroy this world.
Similarly, spiritual tools and magic treasures can also be divided into good and bad. Good spiritual tools and magic treasures can exert 80% to 90% of their power, or even all of their power, while the power of bad spiritual tools will be less than half, or even more.
As he said that, Lin Daqiao pointed at two objects in the air with his hand. In an instant, the mini sword grew to about seven or eight feet, and the shuttle-shaped boat grew to two or three feet. It seemed that they would occupy the entire living room. He pointed again in the air, and the two objects quickly returned to their original state and fell on the table, which made Li Yan dizzy.
The reason why Li Yan was equipped with this small sword was because Li Yan had just reached the second level of the Condensation Stage and could just practice spiritual tools. Unlike other beginners, when they entered the stage, they were at least at the fifth level of the Condensation Stage. The spiritual tools they used had been determined long ago, and they would be given out specifically when they were issued. Therefore, Senior Brother Lin could only issue this standard small sword. If you want to change to a better one in the future, you have to buy it yourself.
The shuttle-shaped boat is used for flying. It can be filled with spiritual power or spiritual stones. The flying speed is not weak. It can travel thousands of miles a day, as long as your spiritual power and spiritual stones can keep up. However, some cultivators will use their own flight after reaching the foundation-building stage, which is faster, unless they have better flying magic tools, magic treasures, etc.
Lin Daqiao said this, thought for a while, and pointed to the dark green robe and boots on Li Yan's feet and said, "These are also spiritual tools, but the level is lower. The clothes can do some simple protection, and the boots will increase the speed of the body in battle. It is a good low-priced spiritual tool. Well, in addition, the cuffs of our clothes in each peak are marked with different logos. You can wear them if you want to, or wear the clothes you like if you don't want to. However, most disciples are unwilling to wear other clothes. There are many disciples in the five peaks of the sect. Sometimes it is difficult to identify which peak the disciples are from, so basically they all wear this set of clothes. However, if there is an important matter in the sect, you must wear this set of clothes to facilitate unified dispatch and management."
Li Yan heard this and then noticed that the logo on his cuffs was a golden bamboo, which undoubtedly represented the Xiaozhu Peak.
Next, the seventh senior brother slapped the storage bag on the table again. A light flashed and three talisman papers appeared on the table. Then he began to talk again. This time he did not take the next step, because every time the talisman paper was used, the power inside would be reduced by one point.
Talisman paper can be used to attack the enemy, or to protect, or even to make a shower of rain or snow. It is also divided into spiritual talismans, magic talismans, talisman treasures, immortal talismans, and holy talismans.
Although immortal cultivators can also use spiritual power to attack the enemy, or use spiritual power to form a protective shield to protect themselves, this requires a huge consumption of spiritual power, and in some aspects it is not as fast and effective as talisman paper. They only consume their own material power and do not involve other things.
Talisman paper is roughly divided into two categories
Attack talisman paper, such as "fire bomb talisman", "wood thorn talisman", "water arrow talisman", "wind blade talisman", etc., can be activated as long as a little spiritual power is infused when used. In other words, the Qi Condensation Stage may be able to emit talisman paper with the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Golden Core Stage. Of course, this depends on the level of the talisman paper. This is something that some immortal arts cannot do. For immortal arts, you must reach the corresponding realm before you can practice the corresponding immortal arts, let alone use them.
But the rarest and most expensive talisman paper is the protective talisman paper, which is a life-saving item. It is often out of stock and cannot be purchased anywhere. For example, the three talisman papers given to Li Yan by the Wuliang Sect are all protective, which is impossible in a second-rate sect. This is the confidence of a large sect.
According to Lin Daqiao, this Lihuo Tiebi Talisman is a top-level spiritual talisman, which can withstand a full-strength attack in the early stage of foundation building. It is so precious. This is also the greatest care of the Wuliang Sect for the sect disciples outside. You should know that the refining materials of each talisman paper are made of a variety of extremely precious immortal cultivation materials.
After explaining these most basic knowledge, after taking a break, seeing Li Yan's serious and careful memorization, Lin Daqiao also felt quite accomplished, as if he had found the feeling of being a teacher.
