He met everyone's gaze.
Ye Chen took a deep breath in and said slowly, "I told you earlier that no matter if it's ancient martial artists, Spell Masters, or people with supernatural abilities, they develop the human body's potential.
For example, ancient martial artists train their vital energy and blood, as well as their muscles, bones, and skin to strengthen themselves. It's an extremely long process.
Meanwhile, ancient martial artists have very strict requirements for cultivators. They usually train from a young age because once a person reaches a certain age, their bones will be fixed and their vital energy and blood will start to be depleted. Even so, they still need a good internal cultivation method or a master's guidance. It's extremely difficult. "
Ye Chen spoke confidently, "Therefore, many ancient martial artists can only step into the beginner stage their entire lives. If their family is well-off and they have the help of medicinal herbs, they might be able to step into internal energy and Illuminating Pulse. Only those who are talented and have an inheritance can break through the acquired shackles and step into innate stage master."
"Mr. Ye is right!"
Old Master Gu nodded in agreement and said while forcing a smile, "The path of ancient martial arts is just too difficult. I've been cultivating my entire life, but I've only reached internal energy. Fortunately, I was fortunate to meet Mr. Ye, and that's how I stepped into innate stage master."
He sighed softly as he spoke to this point, "I have an old friend who was obsessed with martial arts. He spent his entire life on Martial Dao, but he was still stuck at Illuminating Pulse when he died of old age."
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, everyone felt as if a new door had been slowly opened. They also truly understood the cultivation system of ancient martial arts practitioners.
"Xiaochen, according to what you said, ancient martial arts have an age requirement, resources, a master, mental cultivation methods, and so on."
Ye Hai shook his head and said, "It seems like mom and I aren't fated with this!"
"Dad's right!"
Wu Lan shook her head too, "Dad and I are in our 50s. Not only are we lacking in vital energy and blood, but our bodies aren't strong either. We're not meant for cultivation at all."
Even Ye Ming and Yang Hui looked disappointed.
"Dad, don't panic!"
Ye Chen shook his head in between tears and laughter, "Didn't I tell you earlier? The path I'm taking is different from ancient martial arts. My cultivation method isn't as complicated as ancient martial arts. "
"What's the difference?"
This time, everyone looked at him with great interest.
Ye Chen stood with his arms behind his back and said confidently, "Because I'm an immortal cultivator, the only immortal cultivator on Earth!"
"Immortal Cultivator?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Ye Chen knew that they did not understand, so he chuckled softly and said, "The so-called immortal cultivation is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine one's body. It's to refine energy into qi, refine qi into spirit, refine spirit into void, and then achieve unity of heaven and man, immortality!"
He then added, "In fact, there have been people in China who have been pursuing the Art of Immortality since ancient times. These people are known as Qi Refinement Cultivators. However, the Art of Outer Alchemy and Inner Alchemy that they've been pursuing is still unrefined. They're somewhat similar to ancient chemists."
This time, it was Old Master Gu's turn to be shocked, "Mr. Ye, does that mean that the so-called immortal cultivators can truly cultivate to become immortals?"
"You can say that!"
Ye Chen nodded and said while smiling, "However, the path of cultivation is a hundred times more difficult than ancient martial arts. To an ancient martial artist, a year or two might be long, but to an immortal cultivator, a year or two aside, even 10 to 20 years is just a blink of an eye."
"However, Immortal Ascension is especially easy. Along the way, it takes thousands and tens of thousands of years. After experiencing so many hardships, there is always the possibility of death at any time."
"Thousands of years …"
Everyone's mouths were wide open.
According to their understanding, an ordinary person would be considered old if they could live to 100 years old. The average age of an ordinary person was 70 to 80 years old.
Seemingly sensing their disbelief, Ye Chen said, "This is the benefit of being an immortal cultivator. It's normal for low-level immortal cultivators to live to over 100 years old. Meanwhile, for high-level immortal cultivators, it can be as short as a few hundred years, or as long as a few thousand years, or even as long as ten thousand years."
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, trying to digest the shock in their minds.
After a while, a weak voice was heard, "Mr. Ye, are you saying that we can all become immortal cultivators like him?"
The person who spoke was Gu Yingying, who had been silent all this while.
As soon as she said that, everyone shifted their gaze to Ye Chen. They even held their breaths subconsciously.
Ye Chen said calmly, "If you want to become an immortal cultivator, you need to have the aptitude to cultivate. To put it bluntly, it's the spiritual root because only those with the spiritual root can sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, the spiritual root is classified according to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the mutated elements such as wind, thunder, and ice. In other words, the spiritual root contains one element or even many elements. "
Ye Chen began explaining to the people in detail, "Among them, the spiritual root with a single element is called the heaven spiritual root. It has the best cultivation aptitude and the fastest cultivation speed. Meanwhile, the spiritual root with two elements is called the earth spiritual root. Those with more than three elements are called the mixed spiritual root. They have a weaker cultivation aptitude and a slower cultivation speed …"
Hearing his explanation, the people had a rough understanding of immortal cultivation. Gu Yingying could not help but ask, "Mr. Ye, do I have a spiritual root?"
She sounded a little nervous when she spoke.
"Yes!"
Ye Chen sensed and said while smiling calmly, "You have a metal and water dual spiritual root. Your aptitude isn't bad. It's suitable for you to cultivate metal and fire cultivation methods."
Gu Yingying was thrilled. "That's great!"
Ye Wen looked at him in anticipation. "What about me, brother?"
Ye Chen said, "You have a wood, earth, and water dual spiritual root. Your aptitude is slightly weaker."
Ye Wen was not disappointed when she heard that. Perhaps to her, she would be happy even if she had the worst cultivation aptitude like a penta spiritual root, let alone a triple spiritual root.
At that moment, even Ye Hai could not help but ask, "Xiaochen, what kind of spiritual root do we have?"
Old Master Gu, Ye Ming, and the rest looked at him.
Ye Chen's expression turned grim as he said with a soft sigh, "Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Old Master Gu, among all of you, only Shaokun has the aptitude for immortal cultivation. Moreover, he has a quadruple spiritual root."
He had checked his parents and Second Uncle's aptitude. Unfortunately, the two brothers did not have the aptitude for immortal cultivation. He had no idea why they had it in his and Ye Wen's generation.
That was the only thing that disappointed him.
Ye Ming and the rest could not help but be disappointed when they heard that. They shook their heads and said, "It seems like we can't step onto the path of immortal cultivation!"
On the other hand, Ye Hai was more optimistic. "It's alright. As long as Xiaochen, Wenwen, and the rest can do it, it's fine. We're old. Even if we have a spiritual root, we won't achieve much!"
"Dad, Second Uncle, you don't have to be so pessimistic!"
Ye Chen said slowly, "Although a spiritual root is something you're born with, it doesn't mean that it can't be created later on. It's just more troublesome. Coincidentally, I wanted to talk to you guys about this!"
