Chapter 6: Dharma Instruments
In the morning, everything was quiet, and the rising sun slowly rose high in the sky. The golden sunlight poured down all over the sky, and the scattered sunlight evenly shone on the body. The golden sunlight felt warm on the body, making people feel lazy and a little sleepy. At this time, Leng Youran was sitting on his mother's flying magic weapon and basking in the sun.
Shangguan Ruoshui's flying magic weapon is a mid-grade spiritual weapon. It looks like a leaf and has a space formation engraved inside. It looks only the size of a person from the outside, but the space inside is very large. Shangguan Ruoshui said that it can be as large as more than 200 square meters and can be larger or smaller according to the owner's wishes. However, the more monks ride on it, the slower it goes.
When Leng Youran first boarded the flying boat, the scenery outside was still very fresh to her. It was similar to the time when she flew in the sky on an airplane in her previous life. Moreover, the window of the airplane was only a little big, and she could not see the scenery outside clearly. But it was different on this flying magic weapon. She could clearly see the scenery outside by lying on the edge of the flying magic weapon. Moreover, her mother slowed down the speed and lowered the altitude of the flight when she saw that she was looking at the outside world with interest, just to let her watch it carefully and relax. Shangguan Ruoshui was not afraid that she would fall, and the protective cover on the magic weapon was turned on. The transparent cover did not hinder the people inside from seeing the outside.
But after a while, Leng Youran felt that it was not so fresh anymore. With nothing to do, she simply started to stare at the magic weapon. Her mind involuntarily recalled what happened a few nights ago; Leng Youran was sitting in the yard eating the spiritual fruit she had just bought today. Shangguan Ruoshui walked over and said to her, "Youran, come here, let your mother test your spiritual roots. Since you can practice, you must have spiritual roots. I want to see what kind of spiritual roots you have so that I can prepare the corresponding exercises for you so that you can practice quickly." Shangguan Ruoshui took something like a plate, walked in front of Leng Youran and explained to her in a gentle voice. Leng Youran also wanted to know what kind of spiritual roots she had. In fact, she was also looking forward to it. She heard from her mother that her father and brother both had single spiritual roots, and her mother also had a single spiritual root. How could she not look forward to it? But what if her spiritual roots were not good? Would she embarrass her mother then? Would they dislike her then? Thinking of this, her heart suddenly became uneasy. Shangguan Ruoshui saw her daughter so nervous and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, baby, relax and hold your hand." Put it on the spirit-testing plate, don't be nervous. No matter what spiritual root you are, you are mother's treasure. " Leng Youran calmed down her nervous mood, took a deep breath, walked to the table and put her hand on the spirit-testing plate, only to see a red beam of light appear on the spirit-testing plate first, then golden yellow, followed by blue, green, and orange. Five beams of light of five colors flashed at the same time, not giving in to each other. It looked beautiful for a moment, but Leng Youran's heart sank to the bottom. She was a useless spiritual root among the five elements. She had seen in the introduction to immortal cultivation given by her mother that five spiritual roots were the worst and were called useless spiritual roots. Slightly better than five spiritual roots were four spiritual roots, three spiritual roots, double spiritual roots, and single spiritual roots. Better than single spiritual roots were mutated spiritual roots. The fewer spiritual roots, the faster the cultivation, because a cultivator with a single spiritual root had only one cyclone in his body. If he wanted to improve his cultivation, he had to fill up the cyclone, while a cultivator with five spiritual roots had five cyclones in his body, which was why cultivators with five spiritual roots were invincible among their peers.
However, the cultivation time for cultivators with five spiritual roots is five times that of cultivators with single spiritual roots. If there is no opportunity, cultivators with five spiritual roots will basically be stuck in the Qi training stage. Even if they have elixirs, they can only cultivate to the foundation building stage at most. How could this be? She is a cultivator with five spiritual roots. It will be embarrassing for her mother if she returns to the sect. Will her mother like her after a long time? Thinking of this, she felt uneasy.
Shangguan Ruoshui looked at the disappointment on her daughter's face and felt a pang of discomfort in her heart. She also knew her daughter's worries and couldn't help thinking: Well, my daughter has five spiritual roots. When she returns to the sect, give her more pills and some rare treasures. Let her practice to the Jindan stage, and then she will have a lifespan of 800 years. Even if she can't reach the Jindan stage, the foundation-building stage is also possible, and she will have a lifespan of 500 years at that time. Let her do something she likes! Let her live a worry-free life. Thinking of this, she comforted her daughter, "Don't be sad, Youran. When you return to the sect, your mother will refine more pills for you, and let your father and brother find some treasures to improve your cultivation, plus suitable exercises.
It won't be much worse than others, my baby is the best! And cultivation is not only about having good spiritual roots, but also about character. You know, no matter how good your spiritual roots are, if your character is not good enough, it won't work."
Thinking of what happened that night, she felt very depressed. Leng Youran calmed down and fell into deep thought. She thought that in her previous life, no one practiced cultivation, let alone immortality. Life was only a few decades long. Even some of the long-lived ones were only over a hundred, not more than a hundred and twenty years old, and many died early. In this life, she had the opportunity to practice cultivation, and after practicing, her lifespan would increase with the higher her cultivation level. She had so much more life than in her previous life, so many more relatives than in her previous life, and so many people who cared about her. Why should she worry about it? There was a saying in her previous life! When God closes a door for you, he will leave you a window. There is always a way out, so what was she worrying about? After figuring this out, she began to think about the path she would take in this life and why she should practice cultivation! What was the purpose of their cultivation? Was it just to achieve immortality? No, it shouldn't be like this. If you practice just for the sake of immortality, what is left in life? No, practice is not just for the sake of immortality. Practice is to make yourself stronger, to make yourself live better, to protect the people you want to protect, and to prevent yourself from becoming a burden and drag on those who love you. Practice is also for immortality, to work hard for the path of ascension. How can you know you are not good enough if you don't work hard? What's wrong with the five spiritual roots? The five spiritual roots mean you have to work harder than others. Instead of complaining about yourself here, you might as well work hard to make yourself stronger and practice hard. Even if you can't ascend in the end, you won't have any regrets. At least you have tried, and you won't have any regrets. And my mother also said that practice requires not only good spiritual roots, but also working harder than others, and having a tenacious mind. So why is she still silent here? What else is she not satisfied with!
Leng Youran was immersed in her own thoughts and had not noticed that the knot in her heart was being untied bit by bit. Unconsciously, flashes of spiritual light began to appear around her body. Obviously, this was the breath of enlightenment. Shangguan Ruoshui watched her daughter's aura, which had been very depressed since the spiritual root test yesterday, gradually dissipate, and a strong expression slowly emerged on her face. She felt relieved in her heart. Her daughter was really great. Although her spiritual roots were not very good, her character was still good. You must know that cultivation does not only look at spiritual roots, but also at a person's character. If the character is not good, no matter how good the spiritual roots are, the cultivation will not be good. Moreover, if she can have enlightenment in the Qi training period, her daughter may also be able to reach the top position. Such a daughter makes her proud.
When Leng Youran woke up again, it was several hours later. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his state of mind had improved. Not only that, his cultivation had also reached the peak of the first level of Qi training. He believed that it would not take long for him to break through the second level of Qi training. He couldn't help but feel excited with this discovery.
She trotted to her mother, slowly sat down in front of her, and began to act coquettishly to her beautiful mother, "Mom, tell me about the world of cultivation! This way I can learn more about the world of cultivation, so I won't be ignorant." Leng Youran pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly. She wanted to take advantage of this time to learn more about this strange world from her mother, and Shangguan Ruoshui also wanted to talk more with her daughter, so she slowly said, "The world of cultivation is actually not as good as you think. The world of cultivation is full of the law of the jungle. Some people may seem good to you at ordinary times, but you never know when they will sell you out for profit, so... "The mother and daughter talked and listened, and slowly disappeared under the sky in the flying magic weapon.
