Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

In the courtyard, Zhang Yao calmed down, feeling the changes after Taiyi's achievements.

The body changes this time are much more obvious than the last time, especially the warm current in the chest and abdomen.

"What exactly is this? True Qi, inner strength?"

Zhang Yao tried to explore the characteristics of this warm current, but he didn't gain much.

For the warm current swimming in his chest and abdomen, his mind can't actively control it, he can only exert a little influence.

Apart from making his body warm and comfortable, this warm current doesn't seem to have any additional effect.

"No, there must be some mystery in it that I don't understand."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao couldn't help sighing.

If he was still in Qingping Palace, he would be able to ask Master Guanlu for advice.

It's a pity that a big change that night shattered his old life, and he could never go back.

"Continue to explore tomorrow."

After Zhang Yao washed up and returned to his bedroom, he fell asleep early.

the next day.

After Zhang Yao woke up, he was surprised to find that it was still dark.

"It's an hour earlier than usual..."

His heart moved, he got up and moved around, and suddenly noticed something strange.

His energy was very strong, even if he only slept for two hours, he was still full of energy and did not feel tired at all.

Not only that, he tried a set of twenty-four postures carrying the tripod, and found that the warm current between the chest and abdomen flowed with his movements, which greatly reduced his physical exertion.

But at the same time, after finishing a set of the twenty-four styles of carrying the tripod, the warmth between the chest and abdomen seems to have been reduced by about one-third.

"This inexplicable warm current may be called the activation of qi and blood."

In Zhang Yao's heart, a trace of excitement suddenly surged.

With the help of activating qi and blood, coupled with his talent for transforming qi and qi, his martial arts speed can be further increased.

Moreover, judging from his experience at the stage of minor accomplishment, this activated qi and blood itself should also be able to strengthen his muscles and bones.

"After the completion of the pile, there has really been a qualitative change."

Zhang Yao was in a very good mood:

"From today onwards, you can temporarily stop the Taiyi Zhuanggong and focus on practicing the "Golden Cauldron Gong" with all your strength."

…………

An hour later.

"Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Yao had just arrived at Jinding Martial Arts Hall when he was stopped by Zhang Yannian.

"Master let you go there."

"oh?"

Zhang Yao couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this.

After he entered the Jinding Martial Arts Hall, he only received Zhou An's personal guidance for the first three days.

Three days later, he could only see Zhang Yannian or Meng Zongwei, and never saw this nominal master again.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what is Master looking for from me?"

Zhang Yao asked a question.

Zhang Yannian responded with a smile: "You will know when you go."

"……All right."

Zhang Yao thought for a while, but couldn't figure out a reason, so he followed Zhang Yannian into the inner courtyard of the martial arts hall again.

Soon, he saw the owner Zhou An in the main hall.

"Master."

After he bowed and saluted, he heard Zhou An's gentle voice: "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down and talk."

"Yes, Master."

After Zhang Yao was seated, Zhou An sized him up a few times and asked, "How is your progress in practicing the Golden Cauldron Kung Fu?"

"Thank Master Hong Fu, the entry is not slow..."

After the two exchanged a few words, Zhou An finally got to the point: "Zhang Yao, I'm here today because I want to ask you something."

He looked at Zhang Yao with a trace of exploration in his eyes: "Where did you inherit your health-preserving skills? Or is it a family tradition?"

"this……"

Hearing this, Zhang Yao suddenly showed a hint of hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhou An immediately added a sentence: "If it is inconvenient to answer, you don't have to answer, the old man will not force you."

Zhang Yao was silent for a while, but finally chose to tell the truth.

The Qingping Palace has been destroyed, and it is impossible for him to hide his true identity for the rest of his life, and there is nothing to hide.

As the master of a martial arts school, this famous Vajra God Fist couldn't covet his Taiyi skills, right?

Besides, even if you covet it, it doesn't seem to matter if you hand it over to him.

"I used to be a Taoist boy of Qingping Palace."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou An and Zhang Yannian were taken aback: "Are you from Qingping Palace in Lianhua Township?"

Zhou An was stunned for a moment, and said, "But I heard that the Qingping Palace was captured by the rebel army, and there was not a single person left alive in the whole palace..."

"The message is wrong."

Zhang Yao explained briefly: "I was born in the Danding Hall of Qingping Palace. When the incident happened, I escaped by luck."

"I wandered all the way, and even when I arrived in Changping, I kept my name incognito and dared not speak up."

"As for whether anyone else escaped from the palace, I don't know."

"I see……"

Zhou An and Zhang Yannian looked at each other, stroked their beards and said, "It turns out that your health-preserving skills were taught by the Qingping Palace, which makes sense."

"Palace Master Guanhai of Qingping Palace is also a well-known master. I have met him once."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao's expression changed slightly: "Master has seen the old Palace Master?"

"right."

Zhou An nodded and said, "About ten years ago, I left Changping City to work, and by chance, I met Palace Master Guanhai."

"He is a Youdao true cultivator with complete martial arts in the inner family, and his Taiyi splitting lightsaber can be called the pinnacle, and his strength is even stronger than mine."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but said, "The old palace master is so powerful, how could he be killed by the rebel army?"

Over the past few days, he has also inquired about the inside story of the military uprising that day, but unfortunately he didn't gain much.

Lianhua Township is 50 or 60 miles away from here, and a lot of news is based on rumors and rumours, and the heat has long since passed.

"Why……"

Hearing this, Zhou An couldn't help sighing: "The battle formation is dangerous, if you don't have excellent armor or hard work to protect your body, no matter how good your martial arts are, it's hard to be comprehensive."

"Besides, that group of rebels was originally an elite frontier army from Feihuguan in the west. They have strict military discipline and fierce military might, which are far beyond the comparison of ordinary rebels and rebels."

"Because the court owed them salaries for many years, and they were oppressed by the superiors wantonly, they killed the generals and rebelled in a rage, which led to all kinds of tragedies..."

Zhang Yao finally understood after hearing this.

The strength of Qingping Palace is indeed not weak, which was personally admitted by Zhou An.

But that group of rebellious troops, originally an elite frontier army with a large number of people, made a surprise attack at night and hit the Qingping Palace by surprise, so they were destroyed.

"Why……"

Zhang Yao could only sigh: "Time is fate, so what can I do."

Zhou An looked at Zhang Yao, showing a hint of apology, and said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have rashly inquired about your martial arts history, and involved your sadness..."

"Master's words are serious."

Zhang Yao shook his head and didn't say much.

Zhou An looked at him, his eyes flickering, and he thought secretly.

After Zhang Yao was obviously not from a famous family, the origin of the health-preserving skills became clear, there is no doubt about it.

Obviously, after he narrowly escaped death in the Qingping Palace Incident, he came up with the idea of ​​practicing martial arts hard, and all the doubts before and after were explained.

"Zhang Yao."

Zhou An finally made up his mind, and said in a gentle voice: "Your talent is extraordinary, and your character is also good, especially your persistent belief in martial arts, which is deeply in my heart."

"Are you willing to officially worship under my sect?"
