Chapter 21 Aura Energy Level

Spirit stone, the crystallization of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, contains abundant spiritual energy!

As we all know, spiritual energy is the existence that cultivators rely on for cultivation and absorption. It can even be said that everything in the pursuit of truth is based on spiritual energy.

And spiritual stones are divided into about four grades according to quality, low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and the legendary top-grade.

Originally, Lin Chen thought that the reason for the division of quality was that the amount of spiritual energy contained in spiritual stones of different qualities was different.

But later he found that this was not the case.

And through observation, Lin Chen found that the quality of spiritual stones seemed to be linked to the realm of cultivators.

For example, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage will only use low-grade spiritual stones for trading or cultivation. If it involves a large amount of transactions, they will use artificial spiritual stone equivalents for trading, such as the Qingyun Spirit Leaf of the Qingyun Sect, the Corpse Soul Pill of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect, the Bihai Spirit Pearl of the East Sea Sanxiu Alliance, etc.

In the foundation-building stage, cultivators generally use medium-quality spirit stones for trading and cultivation, and occasionally use low-quality spirit stones.

Although the two are in the hundred-based system in the market, only when you reach the corresponding realm can you exchange for spirit stones of corresponding quality in the market.

And cultivators of different realms use spirit stones of different qualities, which seems to have formed a custom in this world!

"There must be a reason behind the formation of the custom. I believe that it is not impossible for no one to integrate medium-quality spirit stones into the Qi Refining stage market to facilitate trading operations, but it was not done after all..."

"Is the number of medium-quality spirit stones scarce? No, it is unlikely. Maybe the number is indeed small, but it is not so precious. Otherwise, the exchange ratio would not be one to one hundred..."

Lin Chen pondered.

"Spirit stones are not only used for trading, but also for cultivation. The reason why medium-quality spirit stones are not used in the Qi Refining stage market is probably not because they do not want to use them, but for most Qi Refining stage cultivators, the spiritual energy in this kind of spirit stone cannot be used..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen looked at the medium-quality spirit stone on the experimental table.

It is a milky white jade, the size of a teacup, emitting a faint white light. There is a faint warmth in the hand, which is different from the ordinary jade-like low-grade spiritual stones. There is an indescribable strangeness.

Lin Chen mobilized the true qi in his body and wanted to guide part of the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone into his body, but he found that such an operation was as difficult as lifting a boulder.

"Sure enough, just like in the previous life, primitive barbarians could only use fire, while modern people can use electricity and nuclear energy. Do different levels of energy require different realms?"

Lin Chen thought.

With the in-depth research over the years, Lin Chen gradually discovered that this world composed of spiritual energy not only has a gap in realm of cultivation itself, but also has a difference in level of everything.

This divides the natural materials and treasures that can only be used by cultivators of different realms.

If used beyond the realm, unless it is specially treated, most of the effectiveness will be wasted at best, and at worst, the body may explode and die!

Lin Chen also speculated that perhaps the world was the same for mortals and low-level cultivators, but for high-level cultivators, the world they saw might be different.

For example, strange things like morning glow purple air and moonlight of the moon, for mortals and cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, they were just ordinary morning glow moonlight, but for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they were moonlight all over the sky and purple air coming from the east.

Lin Chen felt that the reason for all these differences should be the spiritual energy of this world, which, like the particles in the previous life, has energy level divisions!

The difference in different energy levels of spiritual energy has created the essential difference in this world!

"Of course, all of this is just speculation. I can't be sure whether it is because of the energy level or some other reason that it is difficult for Qi-refining cultivators to mobilize the spiritual energy of medium-grade spirit stones. So we need experiments..."

"But I can first assume that it exists, and then use the existing phenomena to disprove it. If there is no problem, it means that spiritual energy does exist in energy levels."

"But according to the existing information, cultivators are divided into [Qi-refining], [foundation-building], [golden elixir] and other realms. It is impossible to just change the state of the spiritual energy that has been refined in the body from gas to solid, which also involves qualitative improvement. Rise...

"This may prove that spiritual energy has energy levels, maybe I can start from this aspect..."

"As long as I master the secret of the cultivator's advancement, I can verify whether the spiritual energy in this world has energy levels..."

Lin Chen pondered for a while, and then picked up the [Spirit Condensing Liquid] purchased from Yunlai Market.

[Spirit Condensing Liquid] can promote the liquefaction of the true qi in the cultivator's body and is one of the three treasures of the foundation-building period.

But Lin Chen found that simply liquefying the spiritual energy only forms spiritual liquid, and cannot achieve the improvement of energy levels.

"So, do we still need a primer or a catalyst? "

Thinking of this, Lin Chen pressed his hand on the stage, and the formation of the entire laboratory was immediately activated!

The dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing prohibitions exuded brilliant spiritual light. Under the traction of the formation, the spiritual energy of a large number of low-grade spiritual stones around swarmed out, directly forming a spiritual energy vortex in the room!

This is based on the idea of ​​the cyclone state of the Qi Refining Period, which helps liquefaction by rotating the spiritual energy.

Lin Chen took out a portion of [Spirit Condensing Liquid] and threw it into the spiritual energy vortex without hesitation.

This scene is enough to drive the casual cultivators crazy. For them, the foundation-building spiritual objects that they may not be able to get even if they work hard, are just thrown away and wasted!

But for Lin Chen, these so-called foundation-building spiritual objects are just auxiliary, and the evolution of the essence of life still depends on itself.

If he can't even have a clear understanding of the direction of his own evolution, and just relies on elixirs and spiritual objects to force a breakthrough, what is the difference between him and a barbarian who has power but no brains?

You know, what he seeks is the great way of the world, and what he seeks is immortality, not to become a cultivator who can break through as long as there are enough elixirs and spiritual objects!

After the [Spirit Condensation Liquid] came into contact with the spiritual energy vortex, it directly disintegrated, and in Lin Chen's [Spirit Viewing Formation], a milky white spiritual energy with a faint glow was formed.

It swam in the pale white spiritual energy, and then began to dim little by little.

"Hmm?" Lin Chen frowned.

The liquefaction of spiritual energy has begun, but the high-energy spiritual energy obtained from the [Spirit Condensation Liquid] seems to be downgraded!

"Not enough? No, that's not right. It's not a matter of quantity, but that there is no energy level transition at all." Lin Chen looked at the middle-grade spirit stone beside him, waved his hand, and part of the spiritual energy in his body flowed into the formation.

But even so, the spiritual energy in the formation still did not have any energy level transition phenomenon!

'The spiritual energy of the middle-grade spirit stone was originally stable, but under the influence of the spiritual energy of the low-grade spirit stone, it began to slowly degrade. It seems that the decline of the spiritual energy level is easier than imagined...'

'And, not only is it easier for the spiritual energy level to decline than to increase, but it is also the same from active to inert. Although the two can be converted to each other, the difficulties they face are different...'

'But it's normal to think about it. The spiritual energy is to form everything and thus serve as the foundation of the world. The decline of energy level and the transformation from active to inert must be several times easier than its reverse increase...'

This characteristic of spiritual energy reminded Lin Chen of the entropy increase and entropy decrease theory in his previous life.

‘Of course, these are not the key points now. The key point is that I have referred to the environment of the foundation-building breakthrough, but why has there been no transition in the spiritual energy level until now? ’

“Or... my guess is wrong. The spiritual energy does not have energy levels, but has other characteristics?”

Looking at the milky white spiritual energy in the [Spirit Observation Formation] fading little by little, Lin Chen frowned deeply.

What went wrong...

Suddenly, Lin Chen realized that the breakthrough in the foundation-building period, as far as he knew, seemed to only happen among practitioners!

And all practitioners, whether they are human immortals, monsters returning to their ancestors, or those strange creatures practicing, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have self-awareness and wisdom!

After all, Lin Chen has never heard of a stone or a dead object being able to complete the evolution of its own life essence!

"So the breakthrough in the foundation-building period, or the transition of the spiritual energy level, still requires the creature's own... consciousness, or wisdom?"

"So, do we still need to conduct cultivator experiments?"

Under the bright light, Lin Chen sighed softly, but his eyes became more and more profound.
