Chapter 10 "Crooked Ways"
In ancient times, physical training was an alternative choice for those who had no spiritual roots but longed for strength. Literally understood, this is a set of methods to strengthen the body and strengthen the muscles and bones. In the early stage, it is also used to lift iron in the gym.
There is no difference, but if you want to have the ability to compete with an immortal cultivator, the difficulty is simply higher than that of a normal immortal cultivator.
Not only is it difficult, but it is also expensive - those who choose physical cultivation need a lot of natural materials and earthly treasures to strengthen their bodies. According to the current market situation, a pot of bath soup used to temper the body will cost hundreds of thousands of medicinal materials alone.
Even hundreds of thousands, not counting other equipment costs, labor costs and other expenses.
The rarer the medicinal materials, the higher the requirements for heat. It is easy to boil the medicine to waste. Some medicinal materials with special properties can be transformed from top-quality supplements as long as the temperature is a few degrees higher or the boiling time is more than ten seconds.
Turns into a deadly poison... In the past, the income of a master who was proficient in boiling body-tempering medicinal baths was comparable to that of a rich man digging for oil in a big food country. Now, although there are fully automatic equipment that can accurately control the heat, it is not the same.
Common people can afford it.
Especially after the emergence of artificial spiritual root technology, no one chooses physical cultivation... To advance to a certain stage of physical cultivation, you need to take at least dozens of medicinal baths. The total amount of money is enough to buy a top-notch artificial spiritual root.
Now, who would foolishly spend a lot of money to masturbate themselves to death every day?
Nowadays, those places that are called physical training institutions are actually an enhanced version of the gym. They may be useful for losing weight and building muscle, but if you want to have the power to fight against immortal cultivators, you still have to go to the streets and alleys to find old beggars and buy them for 50 cents.
This secret book is reliable.
What if, the old beggar selling the secret book is an old monster from the Nascent Soul in some game world...
At least, in the opinion of the author of this post, the probability of encountering an old monster Nascent Soul dressed as a beggar is even more reliable than the path of physical cultivation...
As for the comparison of combat power, when a first-level physical practitioner encounters a Qi-refining stage monk of the same level, he will definitely be able to beat the opponent violently... After all, in the Qi-refining stage, apart from having a slightly better physique and the initial gathering of spiritual energy in the Dantian, he is basically the same as an ordinary person.
There is no difference, even the life span is only a mere hundred years.
As for those who can successfully reach the first level of physical training, they can go to a boxing match and come back with a gold belt.
But once the immortal cultivators enter the foundation-building stage, this situation will be completely reversed - the immortal cultivators in the foundation-building stage can use their own spiritual power to manipulate magic weapons and spells, and can completely lift up low-level physical practitioners who only know boxing and kicking skills...
...From this stage, the gap between immortal cultivators and physical cultivators began to gradually widen. As for the world of immortal cultivators, a very classic ridicule later emerged: "Physical cultivators? They are just playthings for high-level immortal cultivators."
But this is the fact. Immortal cultivators only need to reach the elixir formation stage before they can fly without relying on magic weapons. As for physical cultivation, if you want to have the ability to fly without relying on external objects, it is said that you need to cultivate to the seventh level... and the physical cultivation level.
The seventh level corresponds to the "combined stage" in the level of immortal cultivation, but whether it is the seventh level of physical cultivation or the combined stage of immortality, they only exist in unknown legends.
As for whether the seventh stage of physical training can fly, there is still endless debate, and it has even become a debate experience package in some online forums...
Having said so much, in short, it is just one sentence: In this era, only fools would choose to practice physical education.
……
Lin Yi's body is equivalent to twenty-two years old in human age. He has long passed the age to go to a school for cultivating immortals. Naturally, he has no chance to test his spiritual roots for free. If Lin Yi wants to become an immortal cultivator
, they can only choose the path of casual cultivation or, like Lin Qian, hope that they will be lucky enough to be accepted by a big boss as a direct disciple...
Of course, Lin Yi will not try the latter method. In his opinion, if you really rely on luck, it is better to buy two lottery tickets. If you win the first prize, at least buy an artificial spiritual root and a lottery ticket.
You don’t have to worry about the money to practice the exercises.
"You must first test whether your body has spiritual roots..." Lin Yi thought to himself.
Although he has just come into contact with the cultivation system of this world, judging from the description, the promotion process of a cultivator is very close to that of a psyker in his original world - a psyker will lose himself because his soul is corroded by another dimension.
If a cultivator has a mental problem during the cultivation process, it is easy for him to become possessed.
Lin Yi's human body is endowed with psychic potential. Although the chance of a person with this potential awakening as a psyker is only one in 10,000, having this talent at least means that there is a possibility of becoming a psyker.
Possibility.
The same goes for spiritual roots - not everyone with spiritual roots can become an immortal cultivator, but if you want to become an immortal cultivator, the necessary condition is to have at least one spiritual root in your body.
Lin Yi checked the local spiritual root testing institution. Yuping County is a fourth-tier small city. There is no advanced immortal cultivation school. There is one three-year junior cultivation school, but the spiritual root detection device in this school only
It is open to students of our school. Young children who want to enroll have to wait until the admissions season in September each year for the opportunity to undergo spiritual root testing.
It is May 13, 2030 in the Western calendar, and there are still four full months before the admissions season.
What's more, the school only accepts children between the ages of six and ten. If Lin Yi wants to enter the school, the only way is to pretend to be the parent of a child who meets the conditions...
Lin Yi's eyes couldn't help but move to the small advertisement posted on the window: "The 25-year-old rich woman who is single and has a baby is lonely and unbearable. She is looking for a high-quality man between the ages of 18 and 30 to accompany her. She lives in a big villa and travels in a luxury car.
, please contact 137xxxxxxxx if you are interested..."
"It looks like a low-level scam. Will anyone really fall for it?" Lin Yi looked away and began to search for paid spiritual root tests without age restrictions.
Although Yuping County is not big, Lin Yi did find one. However, when Lin Yi saw the price list below, he suddenly felt the urge to dial the number starting with 137.
The impulse.
The cheapest testing item costs RMB 38,800. If you also need to test the attributes and qualifications of your spiritual roots, the price will be even more expensive.
Not to mention thirty-eight thousand and eighty, Lin Yi couldn't even take out three eighty-eight cents from his pocket now... As for Lin Qian, who was arguing with her neighbor across the wall, she looked like a owner with negative equity.
There is no hope at all.
Lin Yi subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, and his fingertips touched something smooth and cold, which was the demon elixir of the black python.
