Chapter 456: Spiritual Root Disease, Wind Spirit Body

"What? Someone has already succeeded!"

Lin Shan was suddenly surprised and asked immediately.

"Of course, although the acquired spiritual body is still a little bit inferior to the innate spiritual body, it is much stronger than ordinary people."

When Patriarch Honglian saw the shocked expression on the boy's face, he couldn't help but start talking again.

It has been suppressed for ten thousand years, it is so lonely!

It's rare to meet someone who is willing to chat, so I tried every means to keep this guy.

"Come down first and let me check your pulse!"

Lin Shan: “???”

Check your pulse?

What the hell.

Didn’t you just yell at me to stay away from you?

When the Red Lotus Patriarch saw that he didn't move, he patiently told him not to be afraid. The ancestor just wanted to check the blood in his body so that he could give him some targeted guidance.

Lin Shan landed doubtfully, his foot stepping on a giant lotus leaf, but he was still on guard, as he had to be careful and cautious.

Although the Red Lotus Ancestor has been sealed, if he really lets it infuse the demon essence into his body to investigate, he's afraid something might go wrong, and by then it would be too late to regret.

"You can only feel my pulse, but it's only on the surface. If you use the demon essence, I will run away!"

He held the Wind Escape Talisman in his hand, and his distrust was almost written on his face.

The Red Lotus Patriarch didn't take it seriously, he just laughed and scolded the little guy for being a little naughty, what is my identity? What intentions can I have for a little guy like you?
He just paused for a moment when he saw the Wind Escape Talisman.

Then a lotus core stretched out from the center of the lotus, and gently approached about three feet in front of Lin Shan. It didn't need to stick to his body, but just tapped a few times from a distance, as if sensing something.

Lin Shan inexplicably felt as if there were ripples scanning his entire body, somewhat similar to the ultrasonic detection in the hospital in his previous life.

After all, people in the technological world can use instruments to detect conditions inside the patient's body without contact, so there's no reason why the old monsters in the immortal world can't do the same.

That's why when Patriarch Honglian heard Lin Shan say something about demon energy entering his body, he let out a disdainful laugh.

At the mere Jindan stage, he naturally didn't know how to use the methods of the top powers. He thought that the ancestor's casual pulse diagnosis was really the same as that of an ordinary doctor?

You underestimate me too much!
In less than three breaths, the detection ripples disappeared, and the pistil returned to the lotus heart and disappeared.

"Well, your innate talent is quite ordinary, but you have many ways to improve it."

"Grade A wind spirit root, first-grade golden elixir, star body"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

The Red Lotus Ancestor was indeed powerful, and he figured out some of his background in just a few moves.

Lin Shan was neither surprised nor panicked.

These things can be displayed, there is nothing to hide. The Red Lotus Patriarch's detection is only for some characteristics of the physical body, and he cannot understand many secrets in the soul, which is far from the mysterious man in the bamboo hat in the cliff forbidden area.

Of course, the man in the bamboo hat is a true immortal, and Patriarch Honglian is obviously far from reaching the level of an immortal.

But it is amazing to be able to dig out to this extent.

"Although I don't know what method you used to improve your spiritual root aptitude to such a high level, but since I am a kind-hearted ancestor, I will kindly give you some advice."

"Right now, only one-fifth of your wind spirit root is solid, and the vast majority of the rest is floating on top of the mysterious orifice, extending and growing later."

“If you encounter some enemies in the cultivation world in the future, they can use special means or magical powers to specifically target and weaken your qualifications. You must be careful!”

"It is very likely that all your previous efforts will be wasted, your spiritual roots will be broken and you will regress to the past. Don't blame the ancestor for not reminding you."

"what?"

Lin Shan had never heard of this before. One’s aptitude could be reduced and one’s spiritual roots could be weakened. Was there such a thing?
This kind of magical power is something I have never seen or heard of before!

"Hmph, I've told you a long time ago that the detours I've taken are more than the meals you've eaten. Um, I don't think I've taken any detours, otherwise I wouldn't have been easily fooled by that guy from Penglai in the East China Sea."

Perhaps Patriarch Honglian was a little confused as he was getting old, and he went back to the same sentence.

Lin Shan was unknowingly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He had only focused on improving his qualifications before, but he had no idea that there was a hidden danger of being reduced to his original form!
Who could have predicted this?
In the world of cultivation, opportunities and surprises are often accompanied by accidents. You have no idea what weaknesses and secret doors you have, which may become your weak points someday!
If you are not careful, you will get caught and die in various inexplicable ways.

Imagine if, in the middle of a life-and-death duel, the spiritual root above the acupoint on the top of your brain suddenly broke and collapsed.

The head hurts, the mana is out of control, the supernatural power is weakened, the power of the magic weapon drops sharply, the meridians are disordered, and the mind suddenly becomes confused.
The consequences are simply unimaginable!
Only then did he realize the benefits of being a true disciple of those top sects, where there are elders who teach by example at all times, and where he can take one step at a time, steadily and steadily.

The difference between having someone behind you and having no one behind you shouldn’t be too big!

An independent cultivator can never compare with the second generation.

However, even in the top sects, there may not be a powerful person with the cultivation level of Ancestor Honglian, who can even see the hidden dangers of spiritual roots.

He is worthy of being the prominent figure of the Wanhui Year and the top giant of the demon clan.

Even if he is not as good as a real immortal, he is still a real boss.

"Then, old ancestor, is there any way to remedy this hidden danger of mine?"

Lin Shan didn't care about bloodline or spirit body. He just wanted to make up for his shortcomings first. He only had one life, and he could think of other things later.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's just a trivial matter. I'm here with you, isn't it? It's not a big deal."

The Red Lotus Patriarch suddenly changed his tone and became very arrogant, he was actually pretending!

Lin Shan hastily apologized with a smile, his mouth as flattering as it could be, and bowed to ask for advice.

Since it concerns yourself, there is no shame in licking the boss!
"That's right, that's right. What kind of person is this ancestor? He once single-handedly fought against the entire Penglai Holy Land in the East China Sea. He was able to escape unscathed after being shamelessly attacked. Who could have done that ten thousand years ago?"

There was approval in the Red Lotus Patriarch's laughter. He was not in a hurry to instruct him, but instead gestured for him to continue, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Shan swallowed his saliva and continued to output immediately.

"Zang Yan, the Holy Lord of Penglai in the East China Sea, is a despicable, dark, and shameless villain!"

"No matter how much he schemed and planned, and how much effort he put into sending me here, in the end, he still died at the end of his life and turned into a pile of dirt!"

"And the ancestor didn't move a finger, he just took a nap in the lake, and when he woke up, he calmly waited for his opponent to die of old age, without any effort."

"How carefree and relaxed this is!"

The Red Lotus Patriarch still responded cheerfully with laughter, without saying anything else. He was obviously very pleased with Lin Shan's flattery and motioned for him to continue.

Lin Shan racked his brains and could only bite the bullet and continue praising.

"The ancestors of plants and trees became immortals, roaming the world, riding the wind and waves, watching the vicissitudes of life, and watching the clouds roll and unfold in the sky. Ten thousand years ago, this was the only clear stream in the world!"

"Well, continue."

"The ancestor inherits the spiritual will of heaven and earth, the essence of mountains and rivers, and the surging destiny of the vast world. The red lotus descends to the world to cleanse the world of filth, enforce justice on behalf of heaven, and supervise all living beings!"

"Yes, Not Bad."

"It grows out of the mud but remains unstained, it washes in the clear water but remains untainted, it is straight inside and outside, it has no vines or branches, who can share the same respect as me!?"

"Wow, tasteful."

"The geniuses have gathered, the heroes have gathered, the human race's fortune is at its peak, only the ancestor is alone on the edge of the abyss, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the race, and carrying the last banner of the demon race!" "Alas, you still understand me"

"Ten thousand years ago, the elder of the former Sword Sect was slightly inferior in literary talent, the ancestor of Zixiao was slightly inferior in charm, and the great saint, Penglai Zangyan, was only good at sneak attacks and double standards! All of them are gone, and we count them as heroes."

"Ok?"

"Still looking at the ancestor!"

“Ah, ah, ahhahahahaha~~~”

Ancestor Honglian laughed heartily, the sound was heard for a hundred miles, the whole lake was boiling and bubbling, the sound of gurgling was frightening.

Lin Shan followed the swaying underwater, thinking that this wave should be stable, I have flattered the man to this extent, it should be enough.

As a result, after the Red Lotus Patriarch laughed, he tasted the sweetness and was still not satisfied, so he just threw out a sentence.

"Keep going, don't stop!"

"I..."

Lin Shan really wanted to curse, "Are you ever going to stop?"
But the ancestor wants to show off, what can you do?

As a result, even the centipedes, red tapirs, and blue raccoons in other directions of the Demon Lotus Pond, who were diligently cultivating themselves and ignoring the outside world, could faintly hear that there seemed to be an old man and a young man in the lake who were constantly praising
"The ancestor has infinite magical powers and boundless magic power!"

“Keep a low profile.”

"The ancestor has longevity and a long life span!"

"Wherever there is."

"The ancestor is so righteous and loyal to us!"

"should"

"The old ancestor's eyes can see through millions of miles. He once looked at the immortal world, the Buddhist sect, and the banished immortals from the mortal world from a distance!"

"necessary"

"Ancestor"

"Uh-huh?"

Ancestor Honglian suddenly woke up from his dream and quickly told him to shut up.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. I just looked at her from a distance. When did we look into each other's eyes?"

The old guy couldn't help but panic. After all, there really were immortals living in seclusion in this world. If the news got to others' ears, wouldn't they come and settle the score with him personally?
"Ahem, forget it, let's stop here."

Lin Shan then breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was a good thing that he was smart and finally ended this round of flattery.

"Old Ancestor, it's time to talk about my business."

"Where were you talking about?"

The Red Lotus Ancestor was still in shock and hadn't recovered from Lin Shan's words just now. Perhaps the duel that year left a big impact on him psychologically, so the closer he was to that realm, the more he could realize how terrifying the big shots above were.

"As I said earlier, most of my spiritual roots are superficial and can be easily cut off and beaten back to their original form by someone targeting me."

"Well, this is actually very simple. You just need to train and solidify your spiritual roots. I have a secret technique for forging the spirit here. If you go back and practice diligently, you will be able to solve it within two months."

The giant lotus below threw out a ball of light, which contained a jade slip and delivered it directly into his hands.

【Lotus Leaf Visualization Picture】

Quality: Third-level secret technique

Introduction: The Red Lotus Patriarch had a flash of inspiration and temporarily invented a secret technique that can train and condense spiritual roots without any side effects.

Enhancement required: 32 points

An improvised invention?
That’s too hasty!

Lin Shan held the jade slip in disbelief: "Is it that simple?"

The Red Lotus Patriarch had a puzzled tone and asked him directly, "What else?"

"."

The scene was quite awkward for a moment.

This is normal. Things that seem helpless to others are, in the eyes of an existence like Red Lotus Ancestor, who can simply draw a cultivation method for you as easy as drinking a sip of water.

Just a little effort.

"Thank you very much, ancestor!"

Lin Shan put the jade slip away. He didn't expect that this matter would be so simple. He was almost scared to death at first, and thought that he had an irreparable shortcoming from then on. However, the Red Lotus Ancestor solved it in just a few moves.

With a reinforced panel as a backup, there will most likely be no problem.

"Where were we talking about?"

Ancestor Honglian returned to his leisurely state. In the long years, not many things could move him, except for the duel between Penglai in the East China Sea and the True Immortal.

"Ancestor, after you took my pulse, you asked me to check if I have any blood or spirit."

Lin Shan thought that he had finally caught a sealed boss, so he might as well squeeze him dry all at once and do a comprehensive check to fill in the gaps.

After all, he is essentially a casual cultivator. He has not practiced systematically and step by step since childhood, so he is actually unsure about many things.

Today, we will take this opportunity to solve this problem once and for all in the depths of the Luosong Mountains.

Ancestor Honglian did not hesitate to give advice and continued along the same lines as before.

"You now have a kind of acquired star body, which can be regarded as a kind of pseudo-Zhoutian star body. I think you must have taken some top-level fifth-level spiritual medicine, or a treasure close to Tongtian Lingbao for transformation."

"At least for now, this transformation is a gradual and steady growth, and it's relatively mild without any hidden dangers. It's a pity that you haven't been able to make use of it at all, and this spirit has been wasted."

"When you have time, find some books on star power and study them carefully. Don't just eat what's already in your bowl and eat what's already in the pot. Don't always think about taking on new work before you digest what you already have."

This is a very pertinent and insightful statement.

But Lin Shan had no choice. The key was that there was no relevant clue in the classics related to star power, and he was still counting on the secret treasure of Master Yuxing!
The Red Lotus Patriarch stopped there and didn't say much about the star body. Perhaps he didn't know much about this aspect.

"Next, let me tell you about the blood in your body."

"You do have some wind-related blood in you, but it's too thin to be of much use. It can basically be ignored."

"If you don't have the right method, you will never be able to purify your bloodline and gain a wind-type acquired spirit body in this lifetime."

"But it just so happens that I, the ancestor, actually know how to help ordinary people cultivate into acquired spiritual bodies!"

When Lin Shan heard this, he was so excited that his heart started beating wildly.

Wind-type acquired spiritual body!

This is different from the star body which can only be looked at but not used. No matter his mana, golden elixir, or magical powers, they are all closely related to the wind system.

If one could really possess a corresponding spiritual body, one's strength would definitely increase dramatically!
The most important thing is that this is a kind of magic that is well-known in the world of cultivation but has very demanding requirements. It cannot be learned just because you want to. You must have a corresponding spiritual body to learn it.

Those are the various escape techniques of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, including wind escape techniques!
