Cultivation of Immortality: Refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure at the beginning

Tianyuan Crypt Gathering Point, the Third Initial Academy, a class every five years.

"Dang Dang Dang, students, the awakening ceremony for a while is very important. You must remember what the teacher said. You must be calm and calm, and you must not be impatient."

A tall male teacher knocked on the blackboard and roared.

Below him were rows of children about ten years old.

At the back of the class, there was a child with a lazy expression. He was boredly watching the teacher in front of him perform hard.

The child's name is Li Yang and he is an orphan. Not only him, but most of the students in the entire class and even the entire school are orphans.

However, Li Yang is different. He awakened the memory of his past life a few years ago.

The world here is called Shenyuan Continent, and it is a world with a history of millions of years.

Two hundred thousand years ago, the Shenyuan Continent was invaded by giant beasts.

The human race was outmatched and eventually dispersed. Some are hiding in the mountains and forests; some are establishing bases on floating islands in the sky; and some humans are hiding underground, becoming the last refuge of the humans;

Of course, it was not only the human race that was defeated, but also other races such as the demon race and the spirit race, all of whom had avoided the world and did not dare to compete head-on with the giant beasts.

Li Yang didn't have deep memories before he was four years old. He only remembered that one day a fire suddenly burst into the sky. Then, he and many people were teleported underground, and came to this gathering point.

On the second day after arriving here, he awakened his past life memories.

In his previous life, he was a young Taoist priest in the Earth Star Republic. He grew up in a Taoist temple and later went down the mountain to resist foreign invasion.

On the second day after he came down from the mountain, he snatched a treasure from the intruder. Just when he opened the box and wanted to take a look at the contents, his blood was absorbed by a transparent film in the box and died.

After awakening his memory, Li Yang began to practice according to some Taoist techniques from his previous life, but in the end he was unable to get started. Only the Taoist visualization method of cultivating spiritual power can still be used.

After more than five years of practice, Li Yang's mental power seemed to have reached a certain extreme and could no longer be improved.

In Shenyuan Continent, cultivation requires awakening the spiritual root attributes first, and then cultivating the spiritual roots. After this, you can absorb a large amount of external spiritual energy through your spiritual roots.

And August 15th is the day when the human race gathering place once a year awakens the spiritual root attributes.

When the time came, the teacher on the podium finally stopped teaching. Li Yang listened to these contents at least a hundred times.

All the students followed the teacher in a line to the playground and stood on the far left.

The rostrum, where people often played and played, was already covered with fifty futons. On the ground, there are still mysterious formations looming.

"That column comes up and begins to awaken."

Suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard on the podium pointed to the class on the right and said.

As the old man pointed his finger, the first class who used to be the first in everything became the last this time.

Students from Class 20 walked onto the podium one by one and sat on the futons. Following the old man's soft drink, a milky white light rose from each futon.

Five minutes later, the light of a futon suddenly turned white-gold. After the golden color gradually disappears, the milky white light becomes pure white again, giving people a sense of vitality.

"Wow, it's a good start. The first person to awaken is the metallic single spirit root! And there is still room for vitality."

"I'm so envious. I wonder what attribute spiritual roots I can awaken?"

"That person seems to be Zheng Yan from Class 20. I didn't expect him to be so lucky."

"I have no requirements for spiritual roots. Just give me a living space."

It's still a long time before the awakening starts here, and groups of young students are discussing the awakening ceremony on the stage.

Li Yang knew Zheng Yan. The dormitory they lived in was not far away, and the two had conflicts before.

Since the Shenyuan Continent was invaded, when the human race awakens, there will be a small space accompanying the awakening.

There are only two kinds of space in this space: those that contain life, or those that are completely dead.

There is no flow of time and no life in the dead space, and it can only be used as a storage space. Over time, this space will slowly dissipate.

A space that contains vitality can also be called a space for growth. By adding various materials in the later stage, various spaces can be cultivated, such as those dedicated to growing plants, specializing in producing ores, etc.

The reason why the human race can survive underground is that it relies on the materials provided by various growing spaces.

As time passed, each student's futon on the stage lit up. The five element attributes of white, green, blue, red and yellow are mixed, and occasionally there is cyan for wind attribute, purple for thunder attribute, etc.

But the colors are all mixed together.

In other words, there will never be a single attribute like the first Zheng Yan.

After showing the spiritual root attribute, the color of the futon instantly became dim. It proves that the spaces in which they awaken are all dead spaces.

Ten minutes later, all the futons extinguished their light instantly, and the awakening ceremony of Class 20 was completed.

Six of the fifty students have not awakened their spiritual roots, and only one has awakened the space containing vitality.

Time passed slowly, and it took nearly four hours before it was Li Yang's turn to go to class.

Lining up with a group of classmates, he walked up to the podium and sat on the futon. Li Yang entered a state of tranquility.

As the futon rose to a milky glow, he felt himself immersed in a strange energy that brought him into a state of complete relaxation.

Suddenly, the Dantian area swelled, and five light spots of white, green, blue, red, and yellow appeared, and then a dim ball appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness on the head.

There is no doubt that those five light spots are his own spiritual roots, or the five spiritual roots with all five elements. The sphere is space. This space is only dim, not completely dead.

Is this a dead space or a living space?

At this moment, a sudden change occurred in his body, and a transparent film suddenly flew out of Li Yang's sea of ​​consciousness, and it was gently placed on the ball.

In the end, the film completely covered the ball, and the excess transparent film fell off on its own, leaving it in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Isn't this the treasure that I grabbed in my last life, but ended up dying on it?"

Looking at the familiar film, Li Yang suddenly thought of how miserable he was when he saw it in his last life.

Suddenly, Li Yang's body was shaken and he retreated from Gujing Wubo's state.

The awakening ceremony has been completed, and I followed my teacher and classmates back to class.

During this process, Li Yang was still thinking about what the transparent film was and why it was wrapped on the space bead.

"Classmates? The awakening ceremony has been completed. There are 50 people in our class, and 46 of them have successfully awakened. Don't be discouraged if you haven't awakened yet. You can save some resources to awaken alone."

"I will first explain to you how to create spiritual roots through visualization. Then I will give you basic training techniques."

……

Li Yang came to his senses and began to listen carefully this time.

The first step in cultivating immortality is to cultivate spiritual roots. This spiritual root does not exist at the beginning. Instead, the cultivator needs to visualize the items in his mind based on his awakened attributes and condense them into spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots are the foundation for future cultivation.

Visualize the spiritual roots and cultivate them to perfection. This period of cultivation is the first stage of human cultivation, called the spiritual cultivation period.

And later there are realms such as nourishing qi, sea of ​​qi, and foundation building.

No matter which realm you are in, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to strengthen your spiritual roots and then increase the strength of your physical body and spirit.

When the spiritual root is initially selected, the more the visualized object is consistent with the great road, the smoother the later cultivation will be and the more powerful it will be.

After obtaining the spiritual root technique "Basic Spirit Nurturing Technique", the teacher announced another news.

This year, the time to go to the cultivation sect is September 9st, and the time to prepare to go out early is August 1th. All these must be registered in advance.

Underground resources are limited and cannot support large personnel expenditures. Every year, the awakened ones send out most of them, which also serves as a way to replenish fresh blood to the human sects on the ground and on the floating islands.

Li Yang planned to go out in advance to see the scenery on the ground before heading to the sect. In fact, it means venturing into the wild five days in advance, and then teleporting to the sect together.

Returning to his residence, which was a standard four-person dormitory, Li Yang lay on his bed, silently thinking about what he should choose as his spiritual root.

Normally, a ten-year-old’s knowledge is very shallow. How can he know what he should choose?

Therefore, the teacher just said that you can wait until you enter the sect and let the sect give you suggestions.

But Li Yang is different. He has an extra lifetime of memories, and that world also has unique insights into cultivating immortals.

After thinking about it, among the Taoist treasures in the previous life, there were not many treasures that fit me.

"Maybe that's a good choice."

Li Yang thought that in his previous life, he saw the five-square flag in "The Romance of the Gods", and it suited him very well now. Even though the five-square flag may not be real, the five elements contained in it cannot be fake.

After confirming the spiritual root of his visualization, Li Yang put his mind on the other side and paid attention to his own space.

Concentrate and calm down, and explore your spiritual power into the space.

After a moment of trance, Li Yang saw a gray space with a small interior, spherical shape, and a radius of about 2 meters.

If it is not pure black, it proves that this space is alive and can be built into a growth space in the future.

Contrary to what was said in the book, the space boundaries recorded in the book were all energy barriers, but my own space boundaries were actually gray mist.

There is nothing in the space, and there is no other difference that can be seen. We can only explore it later.

After exiting the space, Li Yang began to lie on the bed and plan the steps for visualizing the five-square flag.

……

After dark, Li Yang got up from bed and prepared to eat.

"Li Yang, then Zheng Yan sent word today that you should go and apologize to him. If you don't go, I will make you look good."

Liu Yilong, who was also in the dormitory, said that this person usually has a good relationship with Li Yang.

"Don't pay attention to him. In another half month, everyone will go their separate ways. Who still knows him? Come on, let's go eat."

Li Yang didn't care about this.

When teleporting to the sect, it was randomly teleported to the ground and floating island sects within a radius of 100,000 miles. There was almost no chance that he and Zheng Yan were in the same sect.

"That's right, let's go eat!"

Some people really didn't mention it. Li Yang saw Zheng Yan as soon as he arrived at the cafeteria. At this time, he had just finished his meal and walked out of the cafeteria surrounded by a group of children.

Suddenly, the two of them bumped into each other.

"Ha, it's Li Yang! You're here to apologize to me!"

Zheng Yan, who was walking in the middle of the crowd, pushed aside the others and walked to Li Yang.

Since the two had a conflict three years ago and Li Yang taught him a lesson, Zheng Yan has been thinking about getting Li Yang to surrender, but in the end he never got what he wanted.

This time, he had awakened the single-attribute golden spiritual root, while Li Yang had only awakened the worst five-attribute spiritual root. It was a huge difference. This was the first time that he felt so close to Li Yang.

"Who are you? Why should I apologize to you? You are simply sick."

Li Yang pushed Zheng Yan back unceremoniously.

"I have awakened the single-attribute heavenly spiritual root. Be careful that I will retaliate against you in the future."

"Tch, believe it or not, I will take revenge on you now."

Li Yang glared at Zheng Yan, seeing that he had become Shuang's eggplant, and then walked into the cafeteria swaggeringly.

"You still have a way, haha." Liu Yilong, who watched the whole process, laughed.

"Ignore him. No matter what kind of spiritual root you have, before you practice, you rely on your physical body and your fists. At least recently, he can't beat me."

"Makes sense!"

"Li Yang, you said that my wind and thunder attributes are similar, which one should I visualize?" Liu Yilong asked while eating.

After awakening the spiritual root attribute, you are faced with visualizing the spiritual root, but before that, you need to decide which attribute to practice.

Like Zheng Yan, people who have awakened only one spiritual root attribute naturally do not need to choose.

However, people like Liu Yilong who have awakened multiple spiritual root attributes will choose the one with higher spiritual root attributes for visualization.

Of course, there are also many people like Li Yang who visualize all the awakened spiritual roots.

No matter which one you choose, there are pros and cons.

Just choose one attribute to practice visualization. Although the speed of cultivation is faster, it is still not as good as the awakened person with a single attribute spiritual root.

Moreover, because there are other uncultivated attributes in the body, this will cause the practiced skills, spells, and magical powers to be weakened to varying degrees.

But if Li Yang cultivates all attributes like this, he needs to spend more energy and materials to visualize multiple spiritual roots at the same time. It takes a very long time and is very likely to miss the best age to enter the Qi nourishing period.

Of course, since there are disadvantages, there are also advantages. If you have more spiritual roots, you will be the best at the same level.

Liu Yilong's wind and thunder attributes are almost the same, which makes it a bit difficult for him.

Li Yang thought for a while and said: "You need to make your own decision. Both wind and thunder attributes have their own characteristics. It depends on your own choice. Like storms, thunder and lightning in nature, and weapons with attributes, you You can choose from all. If you want to challenge yourself, you can also try dual attribute visualization at the same time, such as wind and thunder wings, wind and thunder fan, etc."

"Wind and thunder wings? What is that?" Liu Yilong suddenly asked.

Li Yang was stunned when he heard it. He had just unconsciously told what he had seen in Fengshen Yanyi in his previous life.

"This thing is something I imagined. It's just two wings, one with wind attribute and one with thunder attribute..."

……

After eating, Liu Yilong returned to his dormitory. He was still thinking about the Wind and Thunder Wings that Li Yang told him, and thinking about what he should visualize.

But Li Yang walked towards the training room at this time.

This is a place specially established by the college for people to meditate.

Each room is only four square meters in size, making it difficult to turn around.

Sitting on the only futon in the training room. Li Yang closed his eyes and began to visualize the spiritual roots according to the "Basic Spiritual Nurturing Technique" issued by the school.

The first thing is to find the light spots that represent the attributes of spiritual roots that are awakened today. Li Yang has five light spots, and he chose the khaki light spot.

Then, you need to visualize the light spots as the spiritual root image and attributes you have prepared, and at the same time slowly inject part of your mental power so that the light and shadow of the spiritual root you visualize will not dissipate.

From now on, every time you visualize, you need to inject spiritual power, and in the end, you need to inject spiritual energy to complete the creation of the spiritual root.

When it reaches a certain level, you can break through to the Qi-nourishing state.

After several years of contemplation, Li Yang's mental strength has reached a bottleneck. The accumulated mental power at this stage is massive.

As you visualize the triangular yellow flag shape, slowly infuse your mental energy into it. At the same time, Li Yang thought that the function of this flag was to gather all the laws of the earth attribute and control all the earth. Nothing could break it, all evils would retreat, and all laws would not invade.

When Li Yang injected about 10% of his mental power, he found that his mental power was no longer absorbed by the newly formed flag.

"Is this saturation reached?"

The teacher never mentioned this situation. He only said that the spiritual root will become saturated after it is about to reach its limit.

Forget it, practice another attribute.

Li Yang stared at the white light spots again and began to visualize the same triangular flag.

When injecting spiritual power this time, Li Yang gave the flag the function of gathering all metallic laws, controlling all metals, being indestructible, avoiding all evils, and invulnerable to all laws.

Like last time, only 10% of mental power can be input. Once the flag is stable, it will no longer absorb mental power.

Although Li Yang now wanted to visualize all five flags in one go, he held back in the end.

Although these two flags no longer absorb spiritual power today, what if a large amount of spiritual power is still needed in the future?

After visualizing the two flags, Li Yang did not get up and leave. Instead, he continued to sit on the futon, running the "Basic Spirit Nurturing Technique" and began to visualize the method of restoring spiritual power.

"This is too slow!"

Half an hour later, Li Yang opened his eyes again.
