I am not a demon because I have the equivalent scale

Hearing this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar glanced at Wang Zijia and said: "Although this news is not a secret, it will involve a lot of spiritual matters, so it requires three dharma coins. Well, just a reminder, the cabinet does not negotiate prices."

Without saying anything, Wang Zijia took out three French coins from his pocket and handed them to the other party.

"Before answering this question, you need to understand two pieces of spiritual root knowledge." After receiving the money, the middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at Wang Zijia and said slightly:

"First of all, the well-known five levels of spiritual roots are actually not entirely correct. The spiritual roots are seven levels. In addition to the five levels of immortal, top, top, middle, and low, there are also lower-level fake and incomplete ones."

"It's just that most sects, at least the sects that can recruit people in this Wanyu Immortal City, only accept upper-level five people, and they rarely even mention lower-level people."

"In addition, fellow Taoists must understand that spiritual roots are completely different from other physical talents." As he spoke, he looked at Wang Zijia and said: "For example, martial arts roots are actually a kind of constitution and a kind of bloodline, and everyone has it to some extent. , just different in strength and weakness.”

"But the spiritual root is different. It is an extraordinary characteristic, the key to extraordinary mortals. Only by possessing this characteristic can one practice law. And its lowest unit is the residual spirit root!"

"In layman's terms, if the residual spirit root represents some extraordinary characteristics, then a person either has this or not, and there will be no situation where there is even the slightest. Do fellow Taoists understand what I said?"

Wang Zijia nodded and summarized: "I understand, there are seven levels of spiritual roots, the lowest is residual, that is, the most basic extraordinary characteristics can no longer be divided."

"Then let's go back to the question of how fellow Taoists practice the Dharma." The middle-aged Confucian scholar nodded slightly when he saw that Wang Zijia summarized it very concisely, and then continued: "The known Dharma practice for mortals is divided into three categories."

"The first category is the Condensation Technique. Since the innate warriors are barely transcendent, they can actually practice the method, but they can only practice the technique."

Wang Zijia was stunned and said directly: "You mean, I can practice magic?"

The middle-aged scholar looked at Wang Zijia and nodded. Apparently both parties understood that the other party had seen through his cultivation.

"And if you want to continue and successfully practice Kung Fu, you need to use martial arts to enter the Tao." The middle-aged Confucian scholar paused for a moment before continuing: "But a hundred years of Kung Fu can defeat innate skills, but to use martial arts to enter the Dao, you don't need hundreds. Years or thousands of years of skill, but thousands of years of skill.”

"Uh..." Wang Zijia said in astonishment: "Thousands of years? The lifespan of an innate warrior is hundreds and fifty years old. What kind of elixir do you need to take?"

When the middle-aged Confucian scholar heard this, he said: "It is said that many years ago, there was a man who was astonishingly talented and beautiful. He had no spiritual roots, but refused to accept his fate and turned to practice martial arts."

"After the other party broke through the innateness, he created a magic skill that can swallow other people's true energy. It stirred up the world for decades, swallowed countless people's true energy, and finally used the true energy to condense an extraordinary characteristic. : Martial Arts Spiritual Root, Start Cultivation."

"After that, people entered the Tao through martial arts. However, this path was not only incredibly difficult, but the condensed spiritual roots were not necessarily good things. At least that being, because of the mixed true energy he swallowed, the condensed spiritual roots were almost even broken. The inferior product has not yet arrived.”

‘Ha, thousands of years of skill and cultivation can produce something that is not even as good as a low-grade spiritual root? ’

‘As expected, the rules of this world are heavily biased toward immortality. ’

The middle-aged Confucian scholar paused for a moment and gave Wang Zijia some time to digest. After all, he was innate. Then he continued: "The second category is the warming and nourishing method, searching for the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, innate treasures, etc."

"Such strange objects are spiritually generated by themselves. Once they are obtained, they will be planted into the body, start practicing, and gradually warm and cultivate their own spiritual roots. However, these things are all huge treasures."

Wang Zijia was silent for a while, frowning.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar continued: "As for the third category, it is called the grafting method. Due to the special characteristics of spiritual roots, the embalmer can extract the spiritual energy from the deceased's body, and the alchemist can mix it into medicine and use special methods to refine the spiritual root grafting pill. This It is the most widely used method in Taoism at present.”

Um? grafting?

Could it be that spiritual roots can be passed down from ancestors?

So this is why the sect recovered the corpses of its disciples?

"However, the spiritual root is difficult to obtain, and the grafting elixir is even more difficult to refine. It is often less than 10%. Even if it is successful, the quality of the spiritual root will plummet. So although this method is the most common, the medicine is not cheap."

"The lowest-grade Remnant Pill is also a bit expensive, with almost no value for money. The high-end Grafting Pill is undoubtedly not sky-high in price, and has attracted countless families to compete for it."

Wang Zijia was relieved when he heard this. Compared with the thousands of years of skill and innate treasures of the first two, this third person was at least more reliable.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, there is another method known in the pavilion, the pollution method. This is the inheritance method of the demonic path that all demon cultivators are afraid of, so I won't explain it."

Wang Zijia nodded, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar waited for a moment before continuing to ask, "Is there anything else I want to ask?"

When Wang Zijia heard this, he looked hesitant.

Seeing this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar said very familiarly: "Fellow Taoist, you can rest assured that there are very few questions that cannot be asked in Wentian Pavilion. Even the secrets of Wanyu Sect can be asked even in Wanyu City. As long as But the prices vary.”

"As for the confidentiality of customers..." The middle-aged Confucian scholar paused for a moment and said: "Let's put it this way, this is the fundamental principle of our store. If we want to open Wentian Pavilion, we care about this more than you. "

Wentian Pavilion is the property of Wentian Sect, which is spread throughout the cultivation world. It is mainly engaged in information sales and item identification, including but not limited to various secrets, secret realms and other information.

Even the predecessor, this little newcomer, had heard of it.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia reached out and took out a transparent mask that looked like plastic wrap. Although the mask was very thin, it was very elastic. After spreading his hands, the mask stretched out directly.

The middle-aged scholar frowned slightly at first, then his eyes flashed slightly, and then he didn't touch it, and said: "One faqian."

From his appearance, it seems that he is unwilling to touch it.

Without saying a word, Wang Zijia took out another jade disk and handed it over.

"There is a beast in the world called the shape-changing spirit lizard. It has no fixed shape throughout its life and is constantly changing, making it extremely difficult to find. Kill it and take its skin. After undergoing special preparation by alchemists, you can get a high-quality beauty gel."

"First, choose a target, or imagine it, and use the gel to make a face, and shape it into a mask. Wear it on the face and don't take it off for ten years. After the gel is completely absorbed by the face, it will be completely grown and natural."

"This thing... is quite rare. If you find the right target, you can even sell it for a certain sky-high price. Many female cultivators like it."

"But the expensive thing is the gel. The value of the mask after shaping is greatly reduced. If it has been used, it will be half-wasted, because... the facial shaping may not be completed, and it can only make a few resemblances, which is neither fish nor fowl!"

"And the thing in the hands of Daoyou has been used for at least eight or nine years, and the medicinal power is almost exhausted. Unless you meet an alchemist with special needs, it is almost worthless."
