The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Chapter 45 Basic Knowledge of Immortal Cultivation

After Guangyuan entered the world of immortal cultivation.

He only went to one place where immortal cultivators gathered, that is, Changyuan Immortal Cultivation Market.

However, Guangyuan did record several sects that existed near Xiaoguo.

‘Spirit Beast Sect’, ‘Cloud Water Sect’, ‘Miaoyin Temple’.

Guangyuan had seen the cultivators of these sects from afar.

The notes recorded his envy of these sect cultivators.

Unfortunately, these sect cultivators looked down on independent cultivators and were unwilling to have much contact with independent cultivators.

Sects were protected by mountain protection formations, and independent cultivators were not even allowed to approach their sects.

Therefore, Guangyuan did not know them well.

Because of the lack of spirit stones, Guangyuan did not stay in Changyuan Immortal Cultivation Market for a long time, and returned to the mortal world to cultivate alone.

Occasionally, he would get a spirit stone and go to the Immortal Cultivation Market for another year.

This repeated.

After a lifetime, he was only at the second level of Qi Refining Stage.

Finally, he found this cave and closed himself in the dead end, hoping to break through to the third level of Qi Refining Stage.

He failed to break through and died of old age in the cave.

In this way, Cao Rui's cultivation level of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage is already considered a good level of cultivation.

After all, not everyone can repeatedly absorb the innate true qi like Cao Rui.

"My talent for cultivation may be worse than Guangyuan's. I can cultivate to this level now by my own diligence and continuous accumulation of experience points." Cao Rui thought to himself.

The giant octopus monster was the original owner of the cave.

Guangyuan relied on his strength to share the cave with it "peacefully".

There was not a single spiritual stone in Guangyuan's storage bag.

Fortunately, there was a book that recorded several spells.

In addition, there was a Qi Refining Stage technique.

A 0-level magic sword.

A 0-level talisman.

Several empty pill bottles and several empty spiritual stones.

Empty spiritual stones are spiritual stones that have used up all the spiritual energy inside.

Because they store spiritual energy perfectly, they are an excellent tool for cultivators to store information and data, so empty spiritual stones are also called jade slips.

"Well, why does Guangyuan's Qi Refining Technique only have nine levels?"

Cao Rui discovered a big problem.

Cao Rui carefully compared Guangyuan's Qi Refining Technique.

It can be found that Guangyuan's Qi Refining Technique is generally simpler, and its ninth level can be used to build a foundation.

Cao Rui carefully looked through the notes.

Finally, in a sentence in the corner, Cao Rui found Guangyuan's casual sigh.

It turns out that in ancient times, the Qi Refining Techniques of immortal cultivators were all twelve levels.

At that time, the spiritual energy in the immortal cultivation world was rich, there were many spiritual veins, and spiritual objects were everywhere, so it was easy to cultivate immortals.

But now in the immortal cultivation world, the spiritual energy is shrinking, the spiritual veins are fading, and it is difficult for ordinary immortal cultivators to cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

If you continue to cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi Refining and then advance to the foundation building, then there will be few who can really build a foundation.

With no successors, the immortal cultivators are even on the verge of collapse.

So a great cultivator took the lead and changed the Qi Refining Technique to nine levels.

With the help of external objects such as foundation-building pills, one can also advance to the foundation-building stage.

Since this move, the originally declining world of immortal cultivation has regained its vitality.

The ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage has become the mainstream today.

The ancient Qi Refining Technique Mingyu Gong that Cao Rui practiced was when Guangyuan broke through the third level in seclusion.

He wanted to see if this ancient Qi Refining Technique could help, so he tried to practice it.

So he carried it with him at that time.

Unexpectedly, by chance, it became Cao Rui's entry-level immortal cultivation technique.

"It's not a bad thing for me."

"The mana cultivated by the ancient Qi Refining Technique is more refined, and the mana of the same level is deeper."

"With the help of experience beads, I may be able to cultivate it to the twelfth level."

Cao Rui did not think of switching to the current Qi Refining Technique.

He decided to continue practicing Mingyu Gong.

"I don't know what my immortal cultivation talent is." Cao Rui learned the test division of immortal cultivation talent from the notes.

If the talent of cultivating immortals is strictly and carefully divided, it actually includes many kinds of talents, such as spiritual root talent, magic talent, and various talents such as alchemy, talisman making, and weapon refining.

However, the talent of cultivating immortals generally refers to the most important spiritual root talent.

After all, spiritual root talent is directly related to whether a person can cultivate immortals.

Cao Rui wants to know his spiritual root talent.

However, he needs to be promoted to the late stage of Qi Refining and the birth of divine consciousness before he can see the spiritual root clearly.

Cao Rui can only test his spiritual root after he is promoted to the late stage of Qi Refining.

From the notes, Cao Rui can know that spiritual roots are divided into the following levels.

First of all, most ordinary people have no spiritual roots and cannot cultivate immortals at all. They are called ordinary roots.

Mixed spiritual roots: spiritual roots that contain multiple five elements, but each attribute is not strong, which is easy to conflict during cultivation, difficult to specialize, and limited progress.

Pseudo spiritual roots: On the surface, it seems to have spiritual roots, and the attribute conflict is not fierce, but in fact the effect of cultivation is negligible, almost equivalent to nothing.

Low-grade spiritual roots: spiritual roots with a single or a few attributes are relatively clear, but the quality is not high, and the cultivation speed is slow. They are the more common qualifications in the world of immortal cultivation.

Middle-grade spiritual roots: the quality of spiritual roots has been improved, the cultivation speed has been accelerated, and the ability to perceive and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been enhanced. Under perfect conditions, it is enough to support the cultivator to reach the foundation.

High-grade spiritual roots: extremely rare talents, spiritual roots are pure and powerful, cultivation is twice the result with half the effort, and progress is extremely fast. They are the objects that major sects compete to recruit.

Heavenly Spiritual Root: A spiritual root that almost only exists in legends. It has a single attribute that is extremely pure, and has an amazing cultivation speed and almost no bottleneck. It is a peerless genius in the world of immortal cultivation.

Mutated Spiritual Root: More rare than Heavenly Spiritual Root, the spiritual root attribute has mutated, and may integrate multiple attributes or have special abilities, such as thunder, wind, ice, etc.

Cao Rui estimated that he might be a mixed spiritual root or a pseudo spiritual root. In normal cultivation, except for the steady increase in experience points, it is almost difficult to see any improvement in cultivation.

Cao Rui put the notes back into the storage bag.

Then he took out the 0-level talisman and looked at it.

The talisman is sealed with a 0-level spell - Fireball.

After activating the talisman with mana, a fireball attack can be launched.

The talisman is a weapon used by immortal cultivators, where high-level cultivators use their own mana to seal the spell on the talisman.

When Cao Rui uses it, he only needs to consume a small amount of mana to activate the talisman to fight the enemy.

The fireball spell recorded on this talisman can be used five times in total.

After being used twice by Guangyuan, there are only three times left.

This talisman is useful for Guangyuan, but not very useful for Cao Rui.

Because he has entered the middle stage of Qi Refining, sufficient mana has allowed the cultivator to practice 0-level spells on his own.

Put away the talisman.

Cao Rui took out the 0-level magic sword and the book of spells.

0-level magic weapons are magic weapons specially provided for cultivators in the Qi Refining period.

The requirements for use are not high, and the power is naturally not strong.

Cao Rui concentrated his mana and easily refined this 0-level magic weapon that had been ownerless for several years.

Looking at the magic sword floating gently in front of him, Cao Rui was also quite happy.

Although the 0-level magic weapon is 0-level, generally only cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining have the capital to buy it.

But I don’t know where Guangyuan got it from, and there is no record in the notes.

Putting away the magic sword, Cao Rui’s last look fell on the book of spells.
