Chapter 23 Master and Disciple Conversation, the Practice of the Three Elements of Spirit, Qi and Shen
The review of the battle is over, but the discussion between the two is not over. It is better to say that it is just a foreshadowing, and what is really important next is link.
"Yan, what do you think is your biggest problem now?"
You Chen knew the answer, but he would not throw it out directly. He chose to mobilize his apprentice's thinking and let him think for himself.
A teacher should not only instill knowledge into his disciples, but also cultivate his ability to learn and think, especially at this time when he is about to leave.
The information from the battle review just now still remains in Yan's mind, and his mind is most active at this time.
Unlike the usual need to think hard, he quickly gave his answer: "Teacher, is it my control over the soul power? If I can keep the Vulcan Cannon from collapsing, I won't be in trouble. You were completely at a disadvantage in the first duel, resulting in almost no backhand strength."
You Chen nodded and shook his head: "But to be precise, it's still a matter of your mental strength. ”
You Chen looked at Yan Yi With a thoughtful look on his face, he continued: "You don't have that much time to spend on continuing to improve your soul power control. At this stage, it is completely enough. The next step is to work hard."
While You Chen was explaining, he naturally used Feng Xiaotian’s story, which tells the story of a genius with innate soul power who spent too much energy on creating his own soul skills and improving his soul power control, so much so that he was in his twenties. It’s just a story about a level 44 soul sect.
And after hearing this story...
"Innately full of soul power, level 44 at the age of twenty!? Damn it, this guy won't live in the body of a dog for more than 20 years, right? This guy is really full of soul. "Teacher, you're not just making this up to scare me, are you?" It can be achieved. This story is too exaggerated! ?
You Chen silently cursed in his heart, making it up? Wait a few years and you'll be able to see this legendary myth with your own eyes.
As for Feng Xiaotian and the fact that he was extremely stupid and held down levels at his golden age because of the dog-licking factor, there is no need to say more.
He just said meaningfully: "Some things, if you invest your energy and indulge in them, you will find that you have wasted a lot of time before you know it. Especially you young people, you don't know how to exercise control, and you will regret it when you are old. "
"Teacher, why do I feel there is something in your words?" A hint of wisdom flashed in Yan's eyes. He had already discovered that his teacher sometimes liked to suddenly tell mysterious riddles with unclear meanings.
"This must be your illusion."
You Chen coughed lightly and stopped talking about the subject, saying: "In short, at your age, you have this level of soul control. It's completely enough. You don't have to spend too much energy on this in the next few years. After I leave, your daily class time in this area will be cut by four-fifths, which can almost guarantee that your condition will not decline. That's it.
But mental power is different. Once mental power is raised, it can also improve your control of soul power, but the previous training is purely about skills and proficiency, and mental power is improved. It is your basic ability. The most important thing is that soul power manipulation skills can only improve your actual combat ability, but mental training can improve your practice efficiency."
"Teacher, I have not forgotten this."
Yan nodded: "This is what you said, the practice of the three elements of essence, energy and spirit."
You Chen nodded.
The essence of this world's martial soul is the world's gifts and miracles created by the unity of the three elements of essence, energy and spirit.
The roots of most cultivation systems in the universe have the shadow of this route. What's more, "Douluo Dalu" has a certain foundation and style of old martial arts novels. After spending a certain amount of time and energy, You Chen completely confirmed the correctness of his guess.
The three elements of essence, energy, and spirit in this world refer to body, soul power, and mental power respectively. To be a little more detailed, it is the body's qi, blood, essence, soul power, and spiritual will.
The reason why you have to be 6 years old to awaken your martial spirit is not because there is anything special about the number 6, or because the rules of the world stipulate that you must be 6 years old before you can awaken your martial spirit.
But it is necessary for the body to grow to a certain level without being too weak, the mind to be initially perfected, and the essence and energy to be initially mature. Only then can the last piece of the puzzle called soul power be added, so that the three elements of essence, energy and spirit can be achieved. The relative balance promotes the awakening of the martial soul.
Otherwise, it is easy to have hidden dangers of congenital deficiencies.
For example, Huo Yuhao in Douluo II was oppressed by the Duke's Palace. He had insufficient energy for physical growth and an excess of spirit, resulting in insufficient and deficient innate soul power.
Another example is most of the original martial arts spirits. Because the martial spirit is a relatively weak body at the beginning, the martial spirit becomes the complete embodiment of the three elements of spirit, energy and spirit of the soul master. The original martial spirit is only a part of the body. This The essence attribute is equivalent to only a part of the whole, so the essence is insufficient and the innate soul power is generally not high.
On the other hand, if the physical and mental will development reaches the baseline in advance, there is no need to wait until the age of 6 and awakening in advance, and there is no hidden danger. This has been verified by Wuhun Palace.
So the practice of Wuhun is essentially the practice of the three elements of essence, energy and spirit, and the three are in a mutually reinforcing relationship.
Polishing the physical body, cultivating soul power, tempering spiritual will, any one of them will affect the overall cultivation speed, and conversely, the improvement of any one can also indirectly drive the improvement of the other two. .
However, if we only rely on one advantage to pull up the weakness that is holding us back, in the long run, there will often be some side effects, which is commonly known as an unstable foundation.
On the right path, all three must go hand in hand.
Actually, You Chen did not keep this knowledge to himself, and related works had been published in Wuhun Palace journals for many years.
It’s just that he was only 14 years old at the time, and he was simply making conjectures, and the attention he received was far less than “Don’t Use Whale Glue” which could directly benefit soul masters.
Not long after he completed the verification and published the compiled content into a book, the Pope's position changed.
The book collection that condensed his hard work disappeared for some self-explanatory reasons and was sealed up by Wuhun Palace. I am afraid that only the real senior officials of Wuhun Palace know the contents.
But the dissemination of books is prohibited, but the knowledge is hidden in his brain.
After accepting a disciple, of course he didn't hide anything, and even added new insights over the years, which he completely taught to Yan.
At the same time, he also informed Yan that most of his knowledge was written in that work. However, that work was regarded as a banned book by Wuhun Palace, so the relevant knowledge was absolutely not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. Even telling his two childhood sweethearts would definitely not do it.
Otherwise there may be disaster.
