Chapter 58 Yuzhi Drunk
Chapter 58 Yuzhi Drunk
Seeing the atmosphere was so heated, Wei Zhong bowed and said, "Please let me know, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Miaoli Shan was somewhat helpless, he lifted up Wei Zhong with his sleeves and said:
"It's no use for you to worship me. If you want to ask, just ask Qin'er!"
Wei Zhong looked at Shan Qin, whose expression changed, and finally he said:
"Never mind. It's just some information. It doesn't involve any specific methods. I'll tell you. Anyway, you'll know it sooner or later."
"The aptitude of a cultivator is mostly determined by his spiritual roots, which are innate and difficult to change. Or maybe it's because we are so shallow and don't know the right method.
At least Aunt Miao and I have never heard of methods to change spiritual roots in all the years we have been practicing. Of course, taking over another person's body does not count as such. In addition to spiritual roots, there is also the concept of spiritual body."
"Spirit?" Wei Zhong had heard of this kind of talk, but he didn't know how profound it was, so he let him continue.
“The origin of the theory of spirits is so old that it is hard to trace it back.
However, the mainstream view in the current cultivation community is that spirits have different attributes and levels just like spiritual roots, and are even rarer than spiritual roots.
Among the cultivators with spiritual roots, those with spiritual bodies are extremely rare. All of these cultivators are outstanding at the same level. Some of them practice faster than ordinary people, and some are born with extraordinary attainments in a certain skill...
In short, people with spiritual bodies always show talents far beyond ordinary people in some aspects."
Seeing that Wei Zhong was listening attentively, he said the key point:
"Most spirits are born with us, but some can also be created later."
Wei Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "Could it be that Yunji Chamber of Commerce possesses a method to create an acquired spiritual body?"
Before Shan Qin could reply, Miaoli Shan answered, "Of course there are, but don't expect too much."
Wei Zhong's heart sank, and then he heard Shan Qin add:
“The creation of a spirit body is against the will of heaven, and the price required varies according to the strength of the spirit body being formed.
But even the price of some ordinary spirit bodies is too high for most cultivators. For example, Aunt Miao once saw a technique for cultivating a postnatal spirit body, but she has not yet been able to master it. "
After hearing this, Wei Zhong looked at Miao Lishan with some curiosity, only to see the latter said with some resentment:
"It's not that I didn't work hard enough, it's just that the method is too demanding. I've only seen that kind of treasure in storybooks, so where can I find it?"
"The rare treasures in the storybook? Could it be the legendary treasures such as the one-yuan heavy water and the Tongtian Jianmu?"
“It’s not that outrageous, but it is a rare treasure that has not been seen in the cultivation world for many years. It is only occasionally found in some secret realms.
In short, most acquired spiritual bodies require the assistance of rare treasures and the corresponding spells to be cultivated. Daoist friends, instead of thinking about these things, it is better to practice hard and wait until you reach the Jindan or even Yuanying realm before considering this matter. "
When Wei Zhong heard Shan Qin's words, he knew that she didn't want to reveal more, so he didn't ask any more questions.
'It seems that I still have to wait until my qualifications are improved a bit and I become what they call a guest official before I have the opportunity to inquire about this method.
There is no time to rush now. Even a Yuanying senior like Miao Lishan has no way to obtain the method, so what can I do when I am just building a foundation? I can only practice hard.'
After the banquet, Wei Zhong and Shan Qin finalized the cooperation on Yulinqing, and the profits of the spiritual wine would be split 50-50 between the two parties.
Then he took out a golden spiritual contract, which looked much more high-end than the one Wei Zhong signed with the Li family. Wei Zhong signed this contract with him, which was considered to have settled the matter completely.
"Then I wish you great wealth and prosperity. Aunt Miao and I will leave first."
"Congratulations, senior!"
Seeing the two men leaving on the auspicious clouds, Wei Zhong ordered his servants to clean up the mess and then returned to the cave.
"Whether it is improving spiritual roots or creating a spiritual body after birth, these are not things I can consider right now. It is better to practice, it is better to practice."
Wei Zhong went to get another chalcedony mushroom, intending to brew another jar of Qingzhi wine and then practice in seclusion again, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned and the brewing failed. 'Could it be that he was upset after listening to the spirit's talk?'
"Forget it, let's start practicing."
Holding two jars of spiritual wine, Wei Zhong immersed himself in practice again.
This practice lasted for two years.
[Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique - Master (1%)]
He successfully cultivated the Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique to the master level, and during this time he consumed several chalcedony ganodermas to refine green ganoderma wine for his practice.
But after two years, he still failed to break through the first level of foundation building. After another four years of cultivation, Wei Zhong broke through to the second level of foundation building, and he consumed countless spirit stones during this period.
"You really are practicing by smashing spiritual stones!"
Wei Zhong felt very distressed when he saw the chalcedony ganoderma on the spiritual tree decreasing one by one. Anyone who saw Wei Zhong's behavior would say that he was a spendthrift.
However, all this is worth it for Wei Zhong. The improvement of his foundation-building skills means a higher level of Jindan combat power for Wei Zhong, and it is also the basis for increasing his lifespan.
"If you retreat from the second level of foundation building to the first level of foundation building, you can gain 18 years of lifespan."
"Is the early stage of foundation building 18 years? It is more than the late stage of Qi refining, but the increase is limited. However, it is still a gain for me."
After picking a chalcedony ganoderma that was more than 500 years old, Wei Zhong planned to see how much stronger the green ganoderma wine brewed from this ganoderma could be.
After a series of careful operations, fortunately there were no accidents and a jar of Qingzhizui was successfully brewed.
However, the Qingzhizui at this time was not green in color, but a milky color like white jade.
It seems more appropriate to call this wine "Yuzhizui".
After taking a sip, a spiritual energy far stronger than before went straight to his head. The richness of this spiritual energy far exceeded the mid-grade Qi-combining pills that Wei Zhong had bought before.
Wei Zhong didn't even have time to speak. He could only sit cross-legged to refine the surging spiritual power.
By the time the refining was completed, four hours had passed, but the effect was almost the same as one day of normal practice.
"This spiritual wine is surprisingly effective. If I can continue to use it to practice, my practice speed can be increased by another 30%."
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Wei Zhong began to feel heartbroken as he looked at the only chalcedony ganoderma that was over 500 years old on the spiritual tree again.
The spiritual wine is powerful, but it is very expensive. Not counting the price of the chalcedony ganoderma, just considering the various auxiliary spiritual objects, it cost a total of six or seven thousand low-grade spiritual stones, which Wei Zhong had collected with great difficulty.
A rough calculation showed that this jar of spirit wine cost over ten thousand spirit stones, and its price was only slightly lower than the soul-nourishing pill sold at the auction.
Looking at the spiritual wine in his arms, the effect of the 500-year-old chalcedony ganoderma is so good. What will it be like if it is waited until it is completely turned into jade?
Wei Zhong made up his mind that he would not use this Ganoderma lucidum in the short term and just let it grow.
Looking at the panel,
[Second level brewing skills: proficient (2%)]
This skill has successfully progressed from entry-level to proficient, thanks to my own efforts in brewing Qingzhizui in recent years, as well as the help of this new wine "Yuzhizui".
The brewing of this wine has pushed the progress forward by more than 10%, and its effect is even stronger than the second-level Qingluozui.
