When he opened the jade box, he saw a thin book as white as jade lying quietly in it. On the title page, there were several familiar Chinese characters of the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture, which gave him a sense of familiarity.
Holding the heavy and cool book in his hands, Ye Kong was also excited. He knew that this book was like a key that would open the door to the immortal realm for him.
Ye Kong took out the scripture book, closed the jade box and locked the lock. He then turned his head around to take a look. He grinned and excitedly exclaimed "Yay!" before scurrying back to the futon at the corner of the ancestral hall.
To prevent others from noticing, Ye Kong put the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Sutra in the book, just like reading a novel in class.
With a flick of his finger, the thin book page opened …
Ye Kong had never been so engrossed in reading a book. He had been reading since the afternoon. In the evening, he ate a few mouthfuls of rice with the soldiers, and then went back to reading.
Finally, he put down the book and closed his eyes to meditate.
According to the words of this fellow from Earth who called himself Five Element Loose Cultivator, all the travelers from Earth should have five spiritual roots. According to the concept of Cangnan Continent, this was the worst aptitude, but Five Element Loose Cultivator did not agree with this view.
He believed that the Penta Spirit Roots were actually the most stable and most natural Spirit Roots. Just think about it, this world was composed of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the human body was also a small universe. It was also inseparable from metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Therefore, the Penta Spirit Roots would definitely be stronger than the other Spirit Roots.
The Five Elements Loose Cultivator's view was the opposite of the popular view in Cangnan Continent. According to him, the heavenly spiritual root was the worst and most unstable aptitude.
However, Ye Kong felt that it made some sense. The world was originally made up of these five basic elements. Cultivating them together would definitely be stronger than cultivating just one. Moreover, these five elements were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. If he were to fight against an enemy in the future, he would be able to use the appropriate element at will to restrain his opponent.
For example, if the enemy practiced the fire element, he could use the water element, because water restrained fire. If the enemy practiced the water element, he could use the earth element, because earth restrained water.
Ye Kong felt that this brother who came first was really a talent. If it was him, he would definitely not be able to create his own cultivation technique. However, this 《Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture》 was a cultivation technique created by the Five Elements Loose Practitioner based on his five spiritual roots.
According to the Loose Cultivator of Five Elements, the advantages of this Cultivation Method were its great power, strong Divine Sense, and the storage of Spiritual Qi in the body was several times more than that of cultivators of the same level. The second advantage was that the bottleneck phenomenon of this Cultivation Method was not too serious. Maybe it was because the five Spiritual Roots were relatively stable, or this Cultivation Method had a solid foundation. In short, the bottleneck that troubled other Cultivation Methods was not very troublesome in the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Sutra.
Daoist Master Five Elements could also say that regardless of whether it was Foundation Building, Core Formation, or Nascent Soul, as long as you took one medicinal pill, you would be able to guarantee success in one try. There would never be a situation where you couldn't build your foundation even after taking seven or eight Foundation Building Pills.
Some people wanted to ask, "Since this cultivation method is tailor-made for the five spiritual roots and even solves the bottleneck problem, Ye Kong should hurry up and cultivate it. What's the point of wasting time?"
The key problem was that this Cultivation Method also had shortcomings. First of all, it was slow in cultivation. Why was the Celestial Spiritual Root good? It was because it could cultivate fast and get twice the results with half the effort. However, the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Sutra aggravated the slow cultivation of the five spiritual roots. It was so slow that it was unimaginable. Of course, it was precisely because of the slow cultivation that it could build a solid foundation and weaken the bottleneck. It was also because of the long cultivation period that the power of the Cultivation Method was far greater than that of cultivators of the same level.
Second, the Spiritual Qi of the Metal Attribute was scarce. According to the Loose Cultivator of Five Elements, the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Sutra was to absorb the Spiritual Qi of the five elements in the world to achieve balance and stability. The Spiritual Qi of the five elements cooperated with each other and balanced each other. Therefore, after reaching the Foundation Building Stage, the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth must be balanced in the body. Everything else was fine, but the most troublesome thing was that there was no Spiritual Qi of the Metal Attribute in the air, nor in ordinary places.
The Loose Cultivator of Five Elements suggested absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the Metal Attribute Spirit Stones. Ye Kong smiled bitterly. He had never seen a Spirit Stone before. If he absorbed the Spirit Stone of the Metal Attribute to cultivate, how many Spirit Stones would he need? It would definitely be an astronomical figure.
The Loose Cultivator of Five Elements also knew that it would be difficult to get so many Spirit Stones of the Metal Attribute. He gave a second suggestion, which was to refine a vein of Spirit Stones of the Metal Attribute. That way, he would have an endless supply of Spiritual Qi of the Metal Attribute.
Ye Kong shook his head. If he dug up the vein of a Spirit Stone Mine and cut off their source of wealth, wouldn't he be courting death? He might as well think of a way to get Spirit Stones.
"Should I cultivate or not? The advantage is that it's powerful and has no bottlenecks. The disadvantage is that it's slow and requires a lot of Spirit Stones. "Ye Kong lowered his head and pondered.
However, he quickly made up his mind. "Cultivate! Do I have any other choice? According to Immortal Wan Xuan, with my aptitude, I will be stuck at the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm for the rest of my life. The Five Elements Immortal Ascension Sutra has guaranteed that I will successfully reach the Foundation Building Stage. It's okay if I'm a little slow. "
Since Ye Kong had made up his mind, he didn't delay any longer. He immediately sat cross-legged and recited the cultivation method again. Then, he stuffed the book into his inner pocket, closed his eyes, placed his palms flat, and started cultivating.
The lower realms were Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Yuanying, and Soul Formation. The middle realms were Void Refinement, Unity, and Mahayana. The last realm was Heavenly Tribulation. If a cultivator successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation, he would be able to ascend to the Immortal World and live as long as the heavens and the earth.
Every realm was further divided into ten levels. The first, second, and third levels were the early stages. The fourth, fifth, and sixth levels were the middle stages. The seventh, eighth, and ninth levels were the late stages. The tenth level was the peak stage.
At this moment, Ye Kong didn't think too much about it. He could only focus on his first goal … Foundation Establishment. He was like a marathon runner who had finally taken the first step. He didn't know what path he would have to walk in the future. He only knew that since he was on this path, he had to bury his head, grit his teeth, charge forward, and never look back.
Cultivation and meditation weren't the same, but they were still related.
Last time, Ye Kong had carelessly cultivated by himself. After expending a tremendous amount of effort, he was finally able to enter a meditative state. However, it was different today. The moment he started cultivating, he could already feel the spiritual energy in the air gathering towards him. That chilly wind and cold feeling immediately disappeared. It was as if he was enveloped by a warm stream of water. It was extremely comfortable. Very quickly, he naturally entered a meditative state.
What was inconceivable was that the first part of his body to absorb the spiritual energy … was actually his palm! Ye Kong originally thought that he would breathe in the spiritual energy and then move his limbs and bones.
But who knew that it was actually the palm. But thinking about it again, it was normal. The palm was an extremely sensitive and flexible organ. The palm was the place with the most acupoints in the human body. In the future, when he had immortal energy, it would also be sent out from the palm.
Ye Kong could clearly feel the water and wood attribute spiritual energy penetrating into his palm. He felt as if the skin and flesh of his palm had become a sieve, filled with countless fine and neat holes. Then, the spiritual energy flowed into his body from the small holes like water, slowly moving through the meridians of his arm into his body.
Fortunately, the first stage of cultivation, the Qi Refining Stage, did not require the absorption of spiritual energy to be balanced. As long as there was spiritual energy, it was fine. Ye Kong was like a greedy baby, constantly trying to absorb spiritual energy from the air.
However, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed was not all stored in the Sea of Qi. In fact, after the spiritual energy entered the body, it would circulate through the eight extraordinary meridians for eight cycles. Finally, the amount of spiritual energy returned to the Sea of Qi was very little.
A part of the spiritual energy was used to nourish the various parts of his body and meridians. There was also a part that escaped from the inside of the body through the skin. The other part was impurities. These impurities stayed in the body's muscles and were slowly pushed out of the body as he cultivated.
Many cultivators, after meditating for a long time, would leave a circle of black and gray dust around their body. The black dust was the undesirable substances in the human body, and the gray dust was the impurities in the spiritual energy.
Therefore, in the later stages, the dust excreted by the cultivator's body would only be gray and no longer black.
Ye Kong did not dare to slack off. He cultivated for an entire night before he felt a faint trace of spiritual energy in the Sea of Qi.
This already made Ye Kong overjoyed. He knew he had taken one step into the door. From now on, he was also considered an immortal cultivator. However, this level was still very low. Ye Haoran could still make him dizzy with one slap.
However, he was already in the door. How far could his ability increase?
What made Ye Kong even happier was that his spirit was a lot better. It seemed that absorbing spiritual energy was good for the soul. Not long after, the damaged soul would recover to its original state.
When his soul became stronger, opening the Encyclopedia of Charms wouldn't be a dream. Who knew what surprise the charms book from Earth would bring him?
"Eighth Young Master, time for breakfast." Liu Changqing's call came from outside.
"Ah, I'm coming." Ye Kong got up and patted his clothes before walking out the door.
"Eighth Young Master, you meditated all night last night. Aren't your legs numb?" Liu Changqing asked as he handed over the breakfast bun.
Low-key, he still had to be low-key! People's eyes were very sharp. Just a little bit of a situation was seen by others.
"Numb, why wouldn't I be numb? But there's no bed here. I can only meditate and sleep. "Ye Kong sighed and smiled." General Liu, why don't we change? "
"Haha." Liu Changqing laughed. "I feel sorry for Eighth Young Master. I want Eighth Young Master to sleep more comfortably. However, if the general finds out, I won't be able to bear the consequences."
From then on, Ye Kong moved the mat to the back of the ancestral hall. It was better to be cautious in everything. However, Liu Changqing wasn't a bad person and had the intention to curry favor. Ye Kong was a straightforward person. Everyone got along well. Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, Ye Kong had already reflected on the Ye Clan's ancestors for a year.
