Practice Remembering You

---Day 2---

As soon as the two of them left the house, Zheng Qianli was waiting for them outside.

"Master Zheng." The two of them saluted.

Zheng Qianli looked at Zhang Yu's tired face and said, "I know what happened yesterday. You don't have to worry about An Ruhua. She won't be here again in the short term. I have arranged for her to carry out a mission far away."

"A short time?" Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly swore in his heart that he must become a cultivator as quickly as possible and leave here.

Zheng Qianli took the two people away, but this time they did not go to the martial arts training ground, but came to the southern edge of the top of Qiuling Mountain. Looking down from here, they could see the huge martial arts hall building below.

At the edge of the right-angled cliff, there were two cushions, obviously prepared for Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie.

Zheng Qianli began to explain to the two children: "There are three kinds of spiritual energy in this world, namely natural spiritual energy, alien spiritual energy, and pure spiritual energy.

Natural spiritual energy fills the space between heaven and earth, and exists almost everywhere in this world. Although natural spiritual energy is huge and available everywhere, its quality is thin, and it is generally used by small secluded sects and independent cultivators. "

"What does mass scarcity mean?" Zhang Yu asked.

Zheng Qianli pondered for a moment: "Suppose you want to condense a strand of true qi, then if you use natural spiritual energy, you will need hundreds of strands to condense it. In contrast, if you use pure spiritual energy, you only need half a strand, or even less, to condense a strand of true qi."

"The quality of natural spiritual energy is poor. Will the true qi after refining be affected?" Wu Mengjie was a little worried about this.

Zheng Qianli shook his head: "First of all, I want to correct something. It's not that the quality is poor, but that the quality is thin. The two meanings are completely different. The purity of the quality depends only on how much spiritual energy you need to consume to condense a strand of true qi. As for whether your true qi is strong or not, it only has to do with you, and has nothing to do with spiritual energy."

Zhang Yu asked: "Although the quality of natural spiritual energy is thin, it is abundant. Why do only independent cultivators and small sects use it more?"

"The amount of natural spiritual energy is indeed large, but you have to know that it takes time to gather spiritual energy during cultivation. Can the time and energy required to gather one portion of spiritual energy be the same as the time and energy required to gather hundreds of portions?

What's more, when you gather natural spiritual energy, you have gathered hundreds of them around, so it will take about a day to refill the gap. At this time, if you want to practice, you have to go to another place, and going back and forth will take even more time.

Therefore, if you use natural true qi to practice, the practice speed will be greatly reduced.

As for why only small sects and independent practitioners use it, it is because small sects generally only cultivate themselves, have a small number of people and do not fight with the world. There is plenty of natural spiritual energy anyway, and there is no need to fight for it, so one person occupies a mountain and practices freely to his own satisfaction.

The casual cultivators simply think highly of themselves and are unwilling to bow their heads. However, in this world, unless you cultivate yourself like the people in the small sects, you will not be able to obtain good cultivation resources if you do not bow your head. Without pure spiritual energy resources, you can only use natural spiritual energy. "

"What do dynasties and large sects use? Is it the alien spiritual energy and pure spiritual energy you mentioned? How do they obtain it?"

"Don't be anxious, take it one step at a time. First, let's talk about the alien spiritual energy. This kind of spiritual energy is also a kind of natural spiritual energy, but it is formed in a special place, causing the spiritual energy to mutate.

For example, in an extremely cold place, an extremely cold aura will be born in the extremely cold core, gravity aura will be born in the deep sea where there is heavy pressure, and blazing aura will be born in the lava active volcano, and so on...

The concentration of alien spiritual energy is equivalent to that of pure spiritual energy, and it also has attribute bonuses. If the spells you practice in the future have the same attributes as the alien spiritual energy, then your spells of the same attributes will be stronger.

However, there are pros and cons. The alien spiritual energy is very extreme. For example, the extremely cold spiritual energy has a strong water attribute. Apart from that, the other attributes are extremely poor. To what extent are they poor? You can understand it as sacrificing the other nine attributes and only providing this one attribute.

Normally, a person can choose two attribute spells in his lifetime. If you use the alien spiritual energy, you can basically say goodbye to the second spell. Large sects generally use this kind of alien spiritual energy.

The other is pure spiritual energy, which is the spiritual energy used by the Dayan Dynasty. Pure spiritual energy, as the name suggests, is spiritual energy that is a hundred times more concentrated than natural spiritual energy, and has no side effects. This spiritual energy is born from the dedicated primates of all things, and it only appears in the dedicated primates of all things. "

"On the devoted primate?" Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie were both a little confused: "What is that?"

Zheng Qianli replied: "The most primate of all things is human beings. There are two types of human beings, one is the giving type and the other is the predatory type.

The dedicated primates, that is, mortals without spiritual roots, or those whose spiritual roots are not sufficient to support cultivation, will naturally radiate pure spiritual energy as long as they are alive.

The predatory primates, that is, the monks with spiritual roots, do not emit spiritual energy. This is due to the predatory nature of the monks. If the monks want to become stronger, they must meet two points.

First, protect your spiritual energy from leaking out. The method of protection is to transform the "spiritual root" into a "furnace" for refining spiritual energy. After that, as long as spiritual energy appears in the body, it will be refined into true energy, and no spiritual energy will leave the body.

The second point is to plunder spiritual energy outside of your own body, refine it, and store it in your own body. The more you can naturally store, the stronger you will be.

Every time the storage reaches a certain level, there will be a bottleneck. Breaking through the bottleneck will lead to a new realm, and the amount of spiritual energy that can be contained and absorbed will have a qualitative leap. This is the basic logic. Of course, it is definitely not easy to do in practice. "

Zhang Yu thought about it and asked, "If a cultivator absorbs the spiritual energy emitted by a mortal, will it cause harm to the mortal?"

"Don't worry about that. As long as it's not absorbed like the evil cultivators and demons, mortals won't be affected at all."

"Evil cultivators and demons? What are these?" Wu Mengjie asked.

"Evil cultivators are beastly cultivators who kill mortals to gain a large amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time to improve themselves; demons are animals with spiritual roots in the mountains and forests. Over the years, they absorb natural spiritual energy and become spirits.

After they have gained intelligence, they will definitely not be able to resist seeing the crazy and pure spiritual energy aggregates of mortals, and will go out to eat mortals. Occasionally, cultivators like me will receive similar tasks, such as when an evil cultivator sacrifices a mortal and asks us to punish him, or when a demon comes out to hurt people and asks me to deal with it. "

Zhang Yu was a little puzzled: "If it's demons, I can understand, they are not very intelligent and don't know how to live a long life, but those evil cultivators should all be human, why would they kill mortals?"

"Because it can obtain a large amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time." Zheng Qianli said: "Assuming that a person can provide one pure spiritual energy every day, and his life is calculated as 70 years, he will produce 25,550 pure spiritual energy, which is a lot, but it will take 70 years.

And what if he sacrificed himself? This mortal would be in extreme pain, and in less than an hour, he would be able to squeeze out the spiritual energy that he could contribute in a year! That is, more than 360 shares.

Normally, according to the normal way of cultivation, it is impossible to absorb all the pure spiritual energy that suddenly appears, but the evil cultivators have a secret method that can pay the cost of wasting 30% of the pure spiritual energy and absorb the rest into the body.

In this way, the time for cultivation can be greatly increased, which is about three hundred times faster than the cultivation speed of upright cultivators. This is a huge temptation."

Zhang Yu frowned, "But isn't this just killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? Although I can squeeze out 365 strands of pure spiritual energy for a year in a short period of time, if I don't squeeze it, there will be more than 20,000 strands!

Wouldn't it be better to keep the mortals to provide pure spiritual energy for cultivation? And this is only for one person, if you want more, then can't you just increase the number?

If you want a year's supply, then you can find 365 mortals, isn't that the same? Even if it's not enough now, the mortals will continue to multiply and the number will increase. After becoming a monk, they already have such a long lifespan, so can't they wait for a few years?"

"You have the standard thoughts of a decent cultivator. You don't have greed in your heart, or you don't have that much greed. But the reason why evil cultivators are evil cultivators is because the greed in their hearts is like a bottomless pit.

And you said that finding 365 mortals would have the same effect, but the example I just gave only had one person. What if we sacrifice 100 people? How many people would we need? How would we fill the gap?"

Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie were both silent.

"I don't need to tell you about the realm, your two brothers have already told you." Zheng Qianli pointed at the futon: "I have also told you about the spiritual energy. Now your task is to sit on the futon, empty your body, and concentrate your attention to find the spiritual energy."
