Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

After calming down his excitement, Naoki Asakawa finally started practicing.

It is not advisable to open champagne at halftime. If he cannot practice the basic Qi Refining Technique, it will be despair.

According to the description of the basic Qi Refining Technique, there are also conditions for those who practice immortality, that is, spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots are not real substances, but more like something illusory like the soul, which cannot be directly observed.

But only those who have spiritual roots can embark on the road of immortality, and those without spiritual roots can only be mortals for life.

Spiritual roots are divided into ordinary five-element spiritual roots and mutant spiritual roots, namely gold spiritual roots, wood spiritual roots, water spiritual roots, fire spiritual roots and earth spiritual roots, while mutant spiritual roots are wind spiritual roots, thunder spiritual roots and ice spiritual roots that do not belong to the five-element spiritual roots.

Cultivators with gold spiritual roots are suitable for practicing gold-attributed skills and spells, and cultivators with wood spiritual roots are suitable for practicing wood-attributed skills and spells. Only skills with the same attributes as their own spiritual roots can be practiced.

Spells are similar, but not as demanding as techniques. It's just that practicing techniques of different attributes requires a lot of time and energy, and the power is weaker.

This is somewhat similar to the chakra attributes of the ninja world. The ninjutsu practiced by ninjas are basically the same as their own chakra attributes. If you want to practice ninjutsu that you don't have attributes, such as wind ninjutsu practicing fire ninjutsu, you may have to work twice as hard for half the result.

However, according to the basic Qi Refining Art, the more spiritual roots a cultivator has, the better.

In the early stages of cultivation, the fewer spiritual roots a cultivator has, the better. The fewer spiritual roots, the faster the cultivation speed.

If there is only one spiritual root, whether it is a five-element spiritual root or a mutant spiritual root, it is the best talent, called a heavenly spiritual root.

Because the cultivators of heavenly spiritual roots have only one spiritual root, they practice very quickly and can often go through the stage of refining essence into qi and step into the stage of refining qi into spirit within a few years.

The cultivators with two spiritual roots are second, but not much slower, and can often enter the realm of refining qi and transforming into spirit within ten years.

The gap between the three spiritual roots and the two spiritual roots is huge. The cultivation speed is much slower, and it may take decades, until the twilight years to enter the realm of refining qi and transforming into spirit. It is difficult to step into the third realm of cultivation, refining spirit and returning to emptiness in a lifetime.

Four spiritual roots and more five spiritual roots are also called mixed spiritual roots. There is no need to talk about the cultivation speed. It is even difficult to step into the second realm of cultivation, refining qi and transforming spirit. They can only waste time in the realm of refining essence and transforming qi.

However, in the later stage of cultivation, when the realm of refining qi and transforming spirit is perfect, if you want to break through to the realm of refining spirit and returning to emptiness, you need perfect five elements spiritual roots.

At this stage, most cultivators will use various methods to make up for their missing five elements spiritual roots. At this time, the cultivators with five spiritual roots are more advantageous.

But in fact, almost no cultivators with five spiritual roots can cultivate the realm of refining qi and transforming spirit to perfection in their lifetime.

Fortunately, the Basic Qi Refining Art records several methods to complete the spiritual roots, and Asakawa Naoki still has a long way to go to complete the Qi Refining and Spiritualization, so there is no need to worry.

The most important thing now is to determine whether Asakawa Naoki has spiritual roots and how many spiritual roots he has. The number of spiritual roots determines how far he can go on the road of cultivation in the future.

Although the origin of the Basic Qi Refining Art is unknown, this practice method has been improved by countless powerful immortal cultivators. It can be said to be the most basic practice method. Although there is no special bonus, there is no spiritual root requirement. Whether it is ordinary five-element spiritual roots or mutant spiritual roots, they can be practiced.

Asakawa Naoki repeatedly read the first-level practice method of basic Qi Refining related to refining essence into Qi, and only started the first practice after he mastered it.

"On the road of cultivating immortals, the so-called essence, qi and spirit, essence is the body of the cultivator, qi is the magic power of the cultivator, and spirit is the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator."

"In the first stage of cultivating immortals, refining essence into qi means refining essence and qi to cultivate magic power."

"Only when the first strand of magic power is cultivated can it be regarded as officially stepping into the road of cultivating immortals."

Asakawa Naoki pondered the formula of the basic qi refining formula. This first stage of cultivating immortals is somewhat similar to the chakra cultivation in the ninja world.

To refine chakra, ninjas need to extract physical strength and mental strength to merge and then form chakra.

And the cultivators refine the essence in their bodies to form magic power, which is similar to refining chakra.

However, after entering the second stage of cultivating immortals, refining qi into spirit, the cultivators can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine into magic power, obtain energy from the outside world, and cause much less damage to the body.

The reason why the first realm cannot directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world is mainly because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too violent. The first realm cultivator cannot control it well, and it is harmful.

After entering the second realm and cultivating the spiritual consciousness, it is easier to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"This point is somewhat similar to the immortal arts of the ninja world."

"The immortal arts of the ninja world are formed by the fusion of physical energy, spiritual energy and natural energy, and their power far exceeds that of chakra. "

"Is natural energy the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recorded in the basic Qi Refining Art?"

"So, if I can break through to the second realm, it is equivalent to directly cultivating the immortal mode. At that time, my strength will probably not be weaker than the shadows of the five villages. "

Asakawa Naoki guessed a lot in his mind, and shook his head to get rid of the many distracting thoughts in his mind. After his mind was completely calm, he sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and silently recited the formula to start his first practice.

At this moment, Asakawa Naoki felt that he had entered a wonderful state. Everything around him seemed to disappear. Only strands of air were like small snakes running through the meridians in his body. This was his air.

At the same time, in his world, a thunderbolt struck in the sky and fell on the ground and turned into a ball of fire.

The thunder flashed wildly, the sky was covered by thunder, and the fire on the ground became more and more intense, engulfing the earth. The two began to gradually occupy Asakawa Naoki's entire world.

I don't know how long it took, when the thunder occupying the sky and the fire engulfing the earth met, Asakawa Naoki finally woke up slowly.

"It seems that I have both fire and thunder spiritual roots. Even in the world of immortal cultivators, I am a genius. "

There was still some excitement in Asakawa Naoki's eyes when he opened them. Although he was not the top-level spiritual root with the fastest cultivation speed, he was satisfied with having both the mutant thunder and fire spiritual roots.

Both the thunder and fire spiritual roots were spiritual roots known for their fierce attacks. The cultivation speed of the dual spiritual roots was only slightly slower than that of the heavenly spiritual roots, and there was almost no pressure to break through to the stage of refining qi and transforming into spirit.

Feeling the wisp of mana flowing through the meridians in his body, Asakawa Naoki smiled.

Although this wisp of mana was still very weak, he was confident that he would definitely not be weaker than those top ninjas in the future.

Perhaps at this time, Asakawa Naoki had not yet realized that he could successfully cultivate mana in the first practice and officially embark on the road of cultivating immortals. This was not something that dual spiritual roots could do. His talent was even stronger than most cultivators with top-level spiritual roots.
