Start from the Martial Arts

There is also a ‘spiritual root enlightenment technique’ recorded in the spiritual root repairing the sky technique, which can also be practiced by mortals.

Mortals can sense the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth starting from the master level.

After that, every time you break through a realm in body refining, you can increase your spiritual root value through the spiritual root enlightenment technique, with the upper limit being 20 points.

In the world of immortality, most of the spiritual objects that can increase the spiritual root value are extremely precious, and the effect is not obvious.

Practicing the spiritual root repairing technique and spiritual root enlightenment technique can enhance the effect of taking these spiritual objects.

This skill is equivalent to opening up a path to heaven for mortals.

The spiritual energy of Yan State has been exhausted, and almost all of them are mortals.

If the descendants of the Han family enter Taoism through martial arts, even at an advanced age, they can still hope to seek immortality by relying on the Eight Phases of the Universe and the Spiritual Root Enlightenment Technique.

It's a pity that the Han family's descendants failed to live up to expectations and lost the original Hunyuan Qi Jue.

The cloth that records the Hunyuan Qi Jue is the most important treasure.

[Name: Fang Xiu]

【Lifespan: 23/45】

Fang Xiu sighed inwardly and checked his attributes.

Thanks to Shirahoshi.

Without the [Resurrection from the Dead] talent, he would be dead this time.

Although he has lost half of his lifespan, he still has the [natural longevity] life quality, which can add 100 years to his lifespan.

Moreover, once you break through to the Grandmaster realm, your lifespan should be increased.

[Spiritual Roots: Metal 3, Wood 4, Water 4, Fire 3, Earth 5]

"Before going to the world of immortality, first increase your spiritual root points and complete the balance of the five elements."

Fang Xiu felt that his goal was instantly clear.

Whether or not to practice the Eight Phases of the Universe is a matter of two opinions.

But the spiritual root enlightenment technique must be learned.

...

Fang Xiu spent the next month recuperating.

On this day, while Fang Xiu was practicing with the help of the Pure Yang Orb, he was also sending Qi to Ye Jin'er.

Seeing that Fang Xiu was in a daze, Ye Jin'er said softly: "Master Fang..."

"Well..." Fang Xiu came back to his senses and looked at Ye Jin'er.

"What's wrong with you? I see you've been looking a little haggard these days." Ye Jin'er noticed Fang Xiu's expression.

"It's nothing. I've been studying some ancient books recently, and it's quite troublesome..." Fang Xiu smiled. The spiritual root enlightenment technique is quite difficult to learn.

In addition, the content on the piece of cloth that recorded the Hunyuan Qi Jue had changed after being watered by the blood of the strange demon in the water ghost's body.

What is recorded above are some formations that can be used in the future, the simplest of which is the 'Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation'.

Fang Xiu knows nothing.

Maybe he doesn't have any talent in this area.

[Skill: Spiritual Root Enlightenment·Uninitiated (10%)]

The spiritual root enlightenment technique is not difficult, and you can probably get started within a year.

However, in order to transform spiritual roots and increase points, one needs to break through to the Grandmaster realm.

"Cultivation is important, Mr. Fang should also take care of his body..." Ye Jin'er said with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, I will remember it."

Fang Xiu nodded.

"What ancient book can stump Young Master Fang? I wonder... if I can let the little girl read it..." Ye Jin'er asked curiously.

"This..." Fang Xiu was slightly startled.

Ye Jin'er pursed her lips and chuckled, "If it's difficult, forget it."

"It's not difficult at all. I just hope that Miss Ye won't tell others about this matter."

Fang Xiu pondered for a moment.

Ye Jin'er likes reading and never lies, so she doesn't have to worry about leaking secrets.

"Definitely..." Ye Jin'er nodded softly.

"Please look."

Fang Xiu took out the cloth from his arms.

Ye Jin'er took the cloth, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Fang Xiu didn't bother her and continued to send her true air to nourish her body.

After a moment, Ye Jin'er looked up at Fang Xiu, "This cloth seems to record a formation, including the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Not bad." Fang Xiu nodded, his eyes brightening.

Ye Jin'er continued: "When it comes to the Five Elements, it is inseparable from the Eight Diagrams, and the Five Elements Formation implies the principle of the Eight Diagrams.

The eight trigrams are Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui.

Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Xun represents wind, Zhen represents thunder, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Gen represents mountain and Dui represents lake.

Corresponding to the five elements, Qian and Dui are gold; Zhen, Xun is wood; Kun, Gen is earth; Kan is water; Li is fire.

Bagua arises from Tai Chi, Liang Yi, and Four Symbols. It is said that Four Symbols produce Bagua. Understand this principle..."

"..." Fang Xiu's lips moved. No, you really know how to do it!

"Therefore, it involves the theory of yin and yang and the five elements. The two complement each other..." Ye Jin'er stopped when she saw Fang Xiu looking at her blankly.

"Master Fang, what's wrong?"

Fang Xiu paused: "...Can you speak a little slower? I only remembered a rough outline."

"What didn't you remember?"

Ye Jin'er looked at him.

Fang Xiu: "..."

Ye Jin'er blinked: "Start from the beginning?"

"Uh-huh!"

Fang Xiu nodded.

"Okay, let's start with the basics..." Ye Jin'er picked up the tea cup on the table, dipped her finger in water, and started drawing on the table.

Fang Xiu listened with rapt attention.

He didn't come back to his senses until Ye Jin'er stopped.

"Jin'er, how do you know so much?"

"I stay in the room most of the time, so I have to kill time with various books. In fact, doing business also coincides with the principles of the Five Elements and Bagua... It is Jin'er's honor to be able to help Mr. Fang." Ye Jin'er Yanran A smile.

"Jin'er, you are too kind." Fang Xiu bowed his hands. His sense of superiority as a modern man was completely shattered at this moment.

It's nonsense to say that you can get a good reputation by reciting poems and essays in the past.

Through Ye Jin'er's ability to learn from idle books, we can see how smart those scholars who specialize in imperial examinations are.

Even if all the poems of Li Bai, the poet, were copied, it would probably only force out a second Li Bai.

"There are some books of this kind at home. Since Mr. Fang likes them, I will ask Xiaolu to send them over later." Ye Jin'er smiled gently, and her peach blossom eyes, which were originally foxy, became even more attractive.

"Thank you, Jin'er!" Fang Xiu looked at her twice more.

......

Half a year passed quietly.

In Nanli Prefecture, the war was in a stalemate.

The war in the north was not good.

Before the war, the barbarians would always humiliate Emperor Taihe and Emperor Tianyou, causing the morale of the Yan army to plummet.

Zhuge Ting proposed to take the initiative to attack and recapture the two emperors.

If it really doesn't work, just kill the two in front of the battle to avoid affecting morale.

But the new emperor didn't want to bear the crime of patricide and hesitated.

On the other hand, the Western Rong Kingdom, which had retreated to the desert, returned and united with the barbarians in the north.

With the two masters joining forces, Zhuge Ting also fell behind.

Emperor Taihe and Emperor Tianyou were too cowardly, causing more than half of the eight surnames to wait and see.

In the past six months, the court has successively lost Yingtian Prefecture, Tianyuan Prefecture and Yunlan Prefecture.

In addition to the previously lost Kaiyuan Prefecture and Henei Prefecture, half of the thirteen prefectures of Yan State have fallen into the hands of foreign races.

......

[Skills: Hunyuan Yiqi Jue (230 years of skill), Changsheng Jue·Perfection (100%)]

[Skills: Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array·Not yet mastered (16%)]

That day, Fang Xiu walked out of the prison.

Half a year had passed, and the Spiritual Root Enlightenment Technique had stopped improving.

The progress of Hunyuan Yiqi Jue exceeded his expectations.

In addition, he had recently captured two Changsheng Sect guardians who were causing chaos in Tianze Prefecture, which gave him another ten years of skill. His lifespan was also restored a little.

If there were a few more, he estimated that he would be able to enter the Xiantian realm within three to five years.

However, he did not want to attract the attention of Changsheng Sect, so he did not take the initiative to look for Changsheng Sect warriors.

Ye Jin'er seemed to be very talented in the comprehension of the formation, and Fang Xiu followed her to learn and also found some tricks.

......

Afternoon.

As usual, Fang Xiu transferred Qi to Ye Jin'er.

"Jin'er, your body..."

Fang Xiu frowned, he found that Ye Jin'er's health had deteriorated a lot.

She was obviously getting better half a year ago.

"I feel good..." Ye Jin'er said with a smile.

After Fang Xiu finished transferring Qi, he absorbed the coldness in her body as usual.

"Cough cough cough!"

Ye Jin'er suddenly coughed violently.

Her face was full of pain, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed up blood.
