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, Gaode raised his head and 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?" Gaode was surprised.
Having worked in the library for most of his life, he knew what Gothe was curious about without asking, so he introduced it directly:
"The cultural customs on the Zhongting Continent are completely different from ours, and most of the names of the practice methods are mysterious and mysterious."
"Not to mention culture, the mage system on the Zhongting Continent is actually unique, and is very different from our Norland and Terra continents."
"On their side, there is no unified political power, no standing army, and only one There are magic schools and various monasteries one after another. "
"Their magic school concepts are even more bizarre, and some are even contradictory to each other. Although there are no national disputes there, school disputes are common."
"The Midgard Continent was originally the place where magic was born, so on that continent, there are the largest number and variety of native magical creatures and magical plants in the entire plane."
"Even the legendary dragon's lair is located on the archipelago in the sea around the Atrium Continent."
"The mages of the Atrium Continent have always regarded themselves as part of nature, not the masters."
"Their way of life is to coexist harmoniously with these magical animals and plants. With this interdependent relationship, they have thrived for countless generations."
h "Therefore, the practice methods they developed are often related to all things in nature."
h "Because Zhongting Continent is located in the east of the mage plane, their practice methods there are often related to ours. "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 distinction between Eastern and Western practice methods. It can only be said that the concepts are different."
"This [Aoki Changsheng Sutra] is one of the practice methods of a monastery called the Balance Temple on the Zhongting Continent."
"I heard that the masters of this monastery practice five methods in total." In addition to the Life Sutra, there are also the Black Water Heavenly Sutra, the Platinum Seven Kills Sutra, the Red Flame Yinghuo Sutra, and the Loess Carrying Things Sutra, but the only one that has been passed down is the Aoki Sutra of Immortality. ”
The old mage smiled slightly, "Of course there is a reason for this practice. You have also seen the requirements of this practice. In addition to holy objects, you also need to absorb the essence of grass and trees."
"So, under normal circumstances, the mages who practice this method are fanatical nature lovers and will take the initiative to plant vegetation and create sacred grasslands."
"From this aspect, the more mages who practice this method, the better the world will be. The essence of the grass and trees in the world will become stronger, and there will be more holy places for practice. "
"So the masters of the Balance Temple not only do not keep the "Green Wood Sutra" secret, they even take the initiative to make this practice public."
“This is also the reason why the redemption of other rare cultivation methods requires 50 credits, but the [Aoki Immortality Sutra] only requires 25 credits. After all, it is not difficult to obtain.”
Monasteries, monasteries, schools of magic, mysterious and mysterious names of skills.
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] do not seem to be high. Compared with the powerful abilities it can bring, many people should choose this cultivation method, right?" Gothe asked again.
Handspan 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] that combines all three.
And the requirements for practice are so low.
Who can’t do this by choosing a plant as a sacred object and absorbing 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 masters who choose this practice is not only small, it can even be said to be very small."
"It is the one with the lowest selection rate among the practices collected by the academy."
"Huh?!" Gothe was puzzled, "Why is this? Is its effect fake?"
He could not understand.
At least not many mages can resist the temptation of longevity, right?
"The effect is real, but this is just a rough introduction without a detailed description."
"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 pitfall."
"If it is really so powerful, this practice method does not need to be taught so laboriously by the masters of the Kung Fu Temple."
“How do you say that?” 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 sacred object, and then use the plant to increase the life span. Once the sacred object dies, all the increased life span will be dissipated." This is how the practice method is reflected. "
"[Aoki Immortality Sutra] There is an implicit requirement for choosing a sacred object. Before selecting a holy object, you must first communicate with the plant."
"Only after receiving the approval of the plant can you form a contract with it and designate it as a sacred object, and obtain an increase in lifespan through it."
"One-tenth of the lifespan of a holy object can be converted into your lifespan, and the conversion ratio is only 10%."
"In other words, a plant with a lifespan of a thousand years can only use a hundred years of life to increase your lifespan by ten years."
"The problem is that the lifespan of general plants is also limited. It is rare to live for hundreds of years. This will only increase your lifespan by a few years at most. Life is of little significance."
"The only truly long-lived plants are magic plants."
"And they must be high-level magic plants, preferably tree-type magic plants."
< br/> "But why would a high-level magic plant agree to be your sacred object and give you 10% of its lifespan for nothing?"
h "Unless the benefits you bring to it can outweigh the 10% of its lifespan it loses."
“So, generally speaking, if you want to practice this method, the most practical way is to obtain a seed of a high-level magic plant and plant it yourself. With the instinctive admiration of the plant, you can form a bond with it without any effort.”
"But there are two problems with this method. One is that the seeds of high-level magic plants are difficult to find. They are extremely precious and may not be bought even if you have money."
"The second is that you need to spend a lot of resources. Cultivate a high-level magic plant outside. "
"If a high-level magic plant wants to grow, spiritual land is essential. High-level magic plants generally require high-level spiritual land, which can stump countless mages."
Gothe nodded silently.
Spiritual land, not to mention high-level spiritual land, the lowest level first-level spiritual land, is a cornucopia, how can it be owned by ordinary mages.
"In addition, if magic plants want to grow quickly, they also need a lot of resources, as well as corresponding cultivation techniques and careful care."
"It is difficult for most mages to support themselves, and how can they have the ability to raise a high-level magic plant."
"Finally, the concept of holy objects is not only the magic of [Aoki Immortality Sutra], but also its shortcomings. "On the one hand, you can gain many benefits by relying on holy objects."
"But on the other hand, as long as your sacred objects are destroyed, the extra lifespan you gained through this method will dissipate, and the ability to practice the method obtained by relying on the holy objects will also disappear."
"This is equivalent to your life gate."
"Magic plants need to be planted on spiritual ground, and once planted, it is difficult to transplant them at will, let alone carry them around."
"Your enemies may not be able to do anything to you, but they can bypass you and attack your sacred objects."
"There is no way in the world to guard against thieves for a thousand days? Unless you can always stay by the side of the sacred object, or rely on a big force to help you protect the sacred object."
"There are many prerequisites, and there are also such congenital defects, so even though this [Aoki Immortality Sutra] can both extend life and speed up cultivation, "It has three great magical effects: walking and improving mental strength, but there are really very few people who choose this practice."
“Which practice method do you like?” the old master 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.”
