Two treasure maps

Jiang Shan knew that in the land of Xiuguo, cultivation must be approved by Emperor Guo Xiu. Without his approval, no matter how determined he was, it would be futile to get Guo Lin to practice. Therefore, he cleverly took advantage of Qingzhu's magic show and incorporated the knowledge of cultivation into it. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to ask Guo Xiu's incarnation Mo Yan for instructions and got his tacit approval.

In this way, Guo Xiu's family's cultivation was clear, and even if someone investigated in the future, they could not be blamed because they had been recognized by the emperor. Guo Xiu was open to Guo Lin's cultivation. After all, Guo Lin was the son of the Jade Emperor, and it was only a matter of time before he came down to earth to experience tribulations and embark on the path of cultivation. Therefore, he did not block Jiang Shan's proposal too much and acquiesced.

After getting Guo Xiu's tacit consent, Jiang Shan was no longer polite and began to explain the knowledge of spiritual roots in detail. He knew very well that spiritual roots were the foundation of cultivating immortals and the potential source of energy in everyone's body. Only those who possessed spiritual roots could sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and thus cultivate powerful spells.

He described it to everyone: "Spiritual roots are the most mysterious existence in the world. Like a seed, they are hidden in everyone's body, waiting to be awakened. Once awakened, they can feel the spiritual energy that is everywhere in the world, and then cultivate various magical spells."

Then, he explained in detail the types and characteristics of spiritual roots. He said: "Spiritual roots are divided into five attributes: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each attribute has its own unique characteristics and advantages. For example, those with gold spiritual roots will have their power doubled when practicing gold-attributed spells; those with wood spiritual roots have a natural affinity for the growth of plants and trees. Just like what Qingzhu performed just now, he used wood spiritual magic."

Hearing this, everyone showed curiosity. They had never heard of such a magical thing, and they didn't know whether they had this mysterious spiritual root.

"In addition to the five-attribute spiritual roots, there are also mutated spiritual roots, mainly three types: wind, ice, and thunder. They are called mixed spiritual roots when they exist at the same time as the five-attribute spiritual roots, and it is not easy to cultivate them. This is due to talent and cannot be changed later." Jiang Shan saw that everyone was so interested and continued. In his mind, the people here would not have special spiritual roots, let alone mixed spiritual roots. The most likely possibility was that everyone had five-attribute spiritual roots, but they just possessed several attributes at the same time.

Guo Feipeng was relatively older, and after all, he had seen immortal cultivators before. He was very interested in their realms. The sun shone through the treetops onto his serious face. He took a deep breath, walked in front of Jiangshan, bowed respectfully and said, "Senior Jiangshan, I often hear people mention the acquired realm and the innate realm, but I still don't know the key. I wonder if you can give me some pointers?"

Jiang Shan looked at the young man in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that in this country where immortal cultivators were not common, cultivation knowledge was strictly controlled, and most of the ordinary people's understanding of cultivation remained in legends and hearsay. Even people like Guo Feipeng who lived in a country of immortal cultivators often only had a superficial understanding of the way of cultivation due to lack of systematic learning and understanding.

“The postnatal realm is an important stage for practitioners, marking their initial mastery and in-depth exploration of the path of cultivation.

In the acquired realm, practitioners mainly temper their bodies and wills, gradually sensing and introducing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and transforming it into their own cultivation. This is a foundation-laying process, which is arduous but crucial. Through continuous practice, the practitioner's body is gradually strengthened, and his strength, speed and reaction ability will far exceed that of ordinary people. "

Everyone compared it with what Senior Jiangshan said. It seemed that they had always been at this stage. They were called martial artists, but they had not yet experienced the process of sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Could it be that they had not even reached the postnatal realm? Everyone was puzzled and heard Senior Jiangshan continue:

"The acquired realm can be further divided into several small realms, such as the skin refining realm, the flesh strengthening realm, the tendon washing realm, the bone quenching realm, the blood cave realm, etc. The cultivation of these realms is like tempering the body layer by layer, from the outside to the inside, so that the body is gradually cleansed and free of dirt, laying the foundation for entering a higher realm. In addition, the acquired realm also involves opening up the meridians, so that the true qi forms a small circulation, and the true qi is continuous and condensed into qi. When the practice reaches the peak, all the meridians are opened, which can further communicate with the power of heaven and earth, and prepare for entering the innate realm."

Mo Yan glanced at the people present. Some of them were thinking and pondering; some were confused and didn't understand; some were playing and simply didn't listen. In fact, Jiang Shan felt that he had explained it in great detail, but it was still too profound for those who had never been exposed to cultivation.

What made him feel strange was Guo Lingli's attitude. She was standing on the periphery, as if she was daydreaming, as if she was listening, yet as if she was not listening.

"In general, the acquired realm is an important starting point on the road of cultivation. It lays a solid foundation for the future growth and progress of practitioners. Only through the cultivation of the acquired realm can practitioners gradually move towards a higher realm and comprehend a deeper way of cultivation." After Jiang Shan finished speaking, he wanted to see everyone's reaction. Unexpectedly, the first person to ask a question was Guo Lin.

Guo Lin's legs were slightly bent, his feet were touching the ground, his hands were placed one in front of the other, his left hand was lightly raised forward, as if trying to catch the invisible wind, and his right hand was placed on his waist, as if ready to strike a fatal blow at any time. This momentum was both elegant and calm, and full of power and momentum. He could attack when advancing and defend when retreating, which was undoubtedly the result of his many years of practice.

He took a deep breath to calm his excitement, then looked up at Senior Jiangshan in front of him, his eyes flashing with expectation and desire. He asked respectfully: "Senior Jiangshan, what do you think of my cultivation level in the post-natal realm?"

Jiang Shan had rich experience in cultivating immortals. He carefully observed Guo Lin's momentum, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. His brows were slightly frowned, and he seemed a little puzzled. He saw that although Guo Lin's cultivation was not weak, it seemed that he had only reached the skin refining stage of the acquired realm, which was far below his expectations.

"Strange, with your aptitude and cultivation speed, you shouldn't have only reached the Strong Flesh Realm." Senior Jiang Shan whispered to himself, his heart full of doubts. Guo Lin should be a cultivation genius, gifted, and should be able to go further. But the reality before him made him feel incredible.

So Jiang Shan sighed, collected his thoughts, looked at Guo Lin's serious and expectant eyes, and said slowly: "Guo Lin, although your cultivation is good, you have only reached the skin refining stage of the acquired realm. However, I believe your potential is far more than that. As long as you continue to work hard to practice and break through the acquired realm, you will discover your true strength."

After listening to Senior Jiang Shan's words, Guo Lin was somewhat disappointed, but he also understood that the road of cultivation was long and difficult, and he needed to move forward step by step. He bowed deeply, thanked Senior Jiang Shan for his guidance, and then turned away silently, leaving the venue to the children.

Mo Yan saw the trick. The son of the Jade Emperor came down to earth to experience tribulations. There must be something wrong with his spiritual roots. Thinking of what his mother Xia said in the ancestral hall, offering sacrifices to Zhang Xian to beat the dog, he understood that his spiritual roots had been sucked away by someone. No wonder he was complacent after only reaching the Skin Refining Stage. Is that because he hasn't opened his mind yet?

I just don't know which Zhang Xian the Xia family worships. How dare he be so bold? Does he know Guo Lin's background, or did he do it unintentionally? It seems that I have to investigate this matter carefully. After all, it is in my territory, so as to avoid meeting the Jade Emperor in the future and letting him catch me.
