Chapter 193 [Aoki Immortality Sutra]
“This [Aoki Immortality Sutra] seems to be a little different from other cultivation methods?”
After reading the introduction about the Aoki Immortality Sutra, I feel highly virtuous. At first, I couldn't help but ask.
In fact, the name of this practice method was too "fairy", and it almost gave him the illusion that he had traveled through time all over again.
“Oh, this is the Eastern practice method from Zhongting Continent.” The old mage said indifferently.
"Eastern practice method?" Gao De was surprised.
Having worked in the library for most of his life, he knew what Gao De was curious about without asking, so he introduced directly:
"The cultural customs on Zhongting Continent are different from our own. It’s completely different, and most of the names of the practice methods are this mysterious and mysterious thing.”
“Not to mention culture, the mage system on the Zhongting Continent is actually unique, and it is different from our Nolan Continent and Tai. There is a big difference between them."
"On their side, there is no unified political power, no standing army, just one magic school after another and various monasteries. ”
"Their magic school concepts are all kinds of weird, and some are even contradictory to each other. Although there are no national disputes there, school disputes are common."
"Zhongting Continent was originally a magical place. The place of birth, so that continent has the largest number and variety of native magical creatures and magical plants in the entire plane."
"Even the legendary Dragon's Nest is located in the Midgard Continent. On the islands in the surrounding seas."
"The mages of Zhongting Continent have always regarded themselves as part of nature, not the master."
"Their way of life is to be with them. These magical animals and plants coexist harmoniously, and have thrived for countless generations in this interdependent relationship.”
"Therefore, the practice methods they developed are often related to all things in nature."
"Because Zhongting Continent is located in the east of the mage plane, their practice methods there are very different from the common practice methods here. Different.”
“So, in order to distinguish the two schools of practice, the practice in Zhongting Continent is generally called the Eastern practice, and the practice here is the Western practice.”
"There is no obvious difference between Eastern and Western practice methods. It can only be said that the concepts are different."
"This [Aoki Immortality Sutra] is the practice of a monastery called the Balance Temple on the Zhongting Continent. One of the laws."
"I heard that the masters in this monastery have five methods of practice."
"In addition to the [Aoki Immortality Sutra], there are also the [Heishui Tianyi Sutra], [Platinum Seven Kills Sutra], and [Chi Yanying Sutra]" "Fire Sutra", "Loess Sutra", but only this one "Aoki Sutra" has been passed down. "
"The practice method of Zhongting Continent will be passed down to us?" Gao De said in surprise. : "Things like practice methods are generally secretly passed down by various mage forces, and they need to be kept strictly confidential, right?"
The old mage smiled slightly, "Of course there is a reason why this practice method requires you. I have also seen that in addition to holy objects, it is also necessary to absorb the essence of plants and trees."
"So, under normal circumstances, the mages who practice this method are enthusiastic nature lovers and will take the initiative to plant them. Grass and trees, create a sacred place of grass and trees.”
"From this aspect, the more masters who practice this method, the more powerful the essence of grass and trees in the world will be, and the more holy places for their practice will be."
"So the balance of the Temple of Balance will be Not only did the Master not keep the [Aoki Immortality Sutra] secret, he even took the initiative to make this practice public directly."
"In addition, they also sent the Master across the Emerald Sea, from the Courtyard Continent to our Nolan Continent. , just to promote this [Aoki Immortality Sutra]”
“This is also the reason why the exchange of other rare cultivation methods requires 50 credits, but the [Aoki Immortality Sutra] only requires 25 credits. It’s not difficult.”
After the introduction of the old mage to Zhongting Continent, Gothe was suddenly full of curiosity about this different continent.
Temples, monasteries, magic schools, mysterious and mysterious names of martial arts.
It seems that the cultural system of Zhongting Continent is somewhat similar to where he was in his previous life?
“The cultivation requirements of [Aoki Immortality Sutra] don’t seem to be high. Compared with the powerful abilities it can bring, there should be many people choosing this cultivation method, right?” Gothe asked again.
The lifespan is increased, the speed of practice is increased, and the mental power is increased.
Any one of these three abilities is infinitely attractive to the mage when taken alone, let alone the [Aoki Immortality Sutra], which combines all three.
And the requirements for practice are so low.
Who can’t choose a plant as a sacred object and absorb the essence of the plant to speed up cultivation?
Aren’t plants everywhere, and aren’t the essences of vegetation everywhere?
Anyway, Gaode was moved on the spot.
"Wrong," the old mage shook his head ruthlessly, "In fact, the number of mage who choose this practice is not only not many, but even very few."
"It is the one with the lowest selection rate among the cultivation methods collected by the academy."
"Ah?!" Gothe was puzzled, "Why is this? Is its effect fake?" He Incomprehensible.
At least the temptation of longevity, not many mages can resist it, right?
“The effect is real, but this is only a rough introduction and does not describe it in detail.”
"In fact, after you see the complete practice method, you will understand that the unique ability of this practice method looks beautiful, but in fact it is a trap."
"If it is really so powerful, this practice method The Dharma does not need to be taught so laboriously by the masters of the Kung Fu Temple."
"What do you mean?" Gothe couldn't help but frown.
“First of all, the way this practice increases the life span of a mage requires the mage to choose a specific plant as a holy object, and then use the plant to increase the life span, and once the holy object dies, the increased life span will be fully Dissipate."
"As I told you, the mages of Zhongting Continent coexist harmoniously with the animals and plants, and this is how this practice is reflected."
"[Aoki Immortality Sutra] has an implicit requirement when choosing a sacred object. Before selecting a sacred object, you must first communicate with the plant."
"Only after obtaining the approval of the plant can you communicate with the plant. Make a contract with it and make it a holy object, and gain an increase in lifespan through it."
"10% of the lifespan of the holy object can be converted into your lifespan, and the conversion ratio is only 10%."< br>
“In other words, a plant with a lifespan of a thousand years can only use a lifespan of a hundred years to increase your lifespan by ten years.”
“The problem is that ordinary plants Your lifespan is also limited. It is rare to live for hundreds of years. This will only increase your lifespan by a few years at most, which is of little significance. ”
"The only truly long-lived plants are magic plants."
"And it must be a high-level magic plant, preferably a tree-type magic plant."
"But why should a high-level magic plant Agree to become your sacred object and give you 10% of its lifespan for nothing?”
“Unless the benefits you bring to it can outweigh the 10% of its lifespan it loses.”
< br>"So, generally speaking, if you want to practice this method, the most practical way is to obtain a high-level magic plant seed and plant it yourself. With the instinctive admiration of the plant, you can effortlessly interact with it. ”
"But there are two problems with this method. One is that the seeds of high-level magic plants are hard to find. They are extremely precious and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money."
"The second is that it represents You also need to spend a lot of resources to cultivate an additional high-level magic plant.”
“If a high-level magic plant wants to grow, spiritual land is essential. High-level magic plants generally require high-level spiritual land. This can stump countless mages."
Gothe nodded silently.
Spiritual lands, not to mention high-level spiritual lands, the lowest-level first-level spiritual lands, are all a cornucopia. How can they be owned by ordinary mages?
"In addition, if magic plants want to grow quickly, they need a lot of resources, as well as corresponding cultivation techniques and careful care."
"It is not easy for most mages to feed themselves. How can they have the ability to do so? A high-level magic plant."
"Finally, the concept of holy objects is both the magic and flaw of [Aoki Immortality Sutra]."
"On the one hand. , you can get many benefits by relying on holy objects."
"But on the other hand, as long as your holy objects are destroyed, the extra life span you gained through this method will be dissipated, and you will gain from relying on holy objects. The ability to practice Dharma will also disappear.”
"This is equivalent to your life gate."
"The magic plant needs to be planted on the spiritual ground, and once planted, it is difficult to transplant it at will, let alone carry it with you."
" Your enemies may not be able to do anything to you, but they can bypass you and take advantage of your sacred objects.” Beside you, or rely on big forces to help you protect the sacred objects."
"There are many prerequisites, and there are also such congenital defects, so even though this [Aoki Immortality Sutra] has the ability to extend life, It has three great magical effects: speeding up practice and improving mental strength, but there are really very few people who choose this technique.”
Gothe thought slightly
"After talking so much and looking at it for so long, have you decided which practice method to choose?"
"I have decided."
"Which practice method do you like?" the old mage asked curiously.
"I want to go back and think about it carefully before making a decision," Gothe said seriously: "As for now, I want to buy one or two copies of the one-level spell formula first."
