Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

Inside Qingping Palace.

By the time Zhang Yao finished his meal, finished his work, and returned to the small courtyard of his dormitory, the night was already dark.

"Herb mastery has increased a bit? Not bad."

He looked at the panel, but found a surprise.

Herbal medicine is proficient in this skill, which includes a series of processes such as identification, picking and processing, which is also of great help to him.

"call……"

He separated his feet, adjusted his breathing, and took advantage of the abundant energy in his body to start practicing Taiyi Zhuang Gong again.

If he actively promotes the talent of essence transformation, his digestion ability will be far superior to that of ordinary people, and he will eat a lot. Fortunately, Qingping Palace does not lack his little rice, so he will not be rejected by others.

This rehearsal lasted for half an hour. After Zhang Yao felt that his strength was exhausted, he stopped slowly, adjusted his breath and breathed out.

"Junior Brother Qingxu, you are really hardworking."

An older Taoist boy came out of the dormitory, saw him practicing Zhuang Gong in the courtyard, and said with a smile:

"However, this Taiyi Zhuanggong is useless after practicing to the end."

"It's a pity that we are not from the Shangqing Pavilion, so we can't learn the secret martial arts in the palace."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao didn't take it seriously and said:

"If you can't learn, you can't learn."

"It's worth it if you've practiced this Taiyi pile, let alone live an extra ten or twenty years."

In the Qingping Palace, there is a real secret Taoist Xuan Gong. It is said that the power is astonishing, but the requirements for talent are very strict.

This group of Taoist boys were all brought up the mountain when they were around ten years old. They were basically orphans with a clean fortune, and their talents had already been tested by the palace lord.

Among the dozen or so Taoist boys, there was only one little Taoist boy named "Qing Zhuo", who had a high level of aptitude, and was admitted to the Shangqing Pavilion, the head of the three pavilions and four halls, and stayed with the palace lord to teach him personally.

Zhang Yao did have the idea of ​​stealing lessons, but unless a god-given opportunity appeared, he would never act hastily, and would rather practice Taiyi's skills slowly.

"You're right, you're right."

The older Daoist laughed, and didn't intend to chat too much, went to the hut to drain the water, and then went back to sleep.

Zhang Yao also went back to the dormitory, found his bed in the corner of Datong shop, quickly took off his clothes, got in, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

…………

Three days passed in a flash.

That night, Zhang Yao was still practicing Taiyi Zhuang Kungfu hard, and he didn't notice a trace of strangeness in his body until the exercise was over.

"Could it be..."

A guess surged in his heart, and he quickly called out the panel.

Name: Zhang Yao

Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence

Skills: Mastery of Medicinal Materials (38%), Taiyi Zhuanggong (30%)

Surprise welled up in Zhang Yao's heart, and he secretly said:

"After practicing hard for so long, this Taiyi Zhuanggong is finally a small accomplishment."

The progress of martial arts in this world is relatively rough. After getting started, there are only three stages: small success, great success, and perfection.

According to Zhang Yao's comparison and guess, the panel proficiency corresponding to the Xiaocheng stage should be around 30%. The special feeling in his body now obviously confirms his guess.

"Small accomplishments are a new level."

Zhang Yao's face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

According to his master Guanlu Zhenren, even if the state of Zhuang Gong breaks through, there will be no immediate qualitative change.

But when the realm is reached, the limbs, tendons, flesh and bones will all be subtly affected by it, and there must be some changes.

"Next, let's see how miraculous the martial arts in this world are."

Satisfied, Zhang Yao went back to his room to sleep, and finally had a glimmer of expectation for the life ahead.

Soon, his curiosity had an answer:

For half a month, he found that his body gradually produced new and all-round changes.

The first is that the strength grows extremely fast, and soon becomes not inferior to adults, and the muscles and bones become stronger. The second is that the eyes and ears become sharper, the senses are sharper, and even the memory seems to have improved to a certain extent.

"This Taiyi Zhuanggong is indeed very miraculous."

"If you practice to a great degree, or even a perfect state, your body's physical strength and various senses should exceed the limits of the human body."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao felt a little pity.

Even the Taiyi Zhuanggong, which focuses on health preservation, has such effects, so how powerful should the Taoist Xuangong secretly passed down in Qingping Palace be?

It's a pity that the fundamental aptitude of this body is just a middle-of-the-road appearance, and cannot enter the eyes of the palace master. Under normal circumstances, he would never be able to touch that profound art in his entire life.

"Don't worry, take your time, I have plenty of time."

Zhang Yao's mood quickly returned to calm.

"The current life is pretty good, there is no need for greed and twists and turns."

…………

A peaceful life always goes by very fast.

More than two months passed, and Zhang Yao dutifully became a Danding boy, picking and processing medicinal materials every day, practicing Taiyi Zhuang Gong when he had time, and completely integrated into the Qingping Palace.

have to say:

Being able to intuitively digitize the progress of Taiyi Zhuanggong is an intangible incentive in itself.

The reason why Zhang Yao's Taiyi Zhuanggong can progress so quickly is mainly due to his talent, and secondly due to the attribute panel.

Name: Zhang Yao

Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence

Skills: Mastery of Medicinal Materials (41%), Taiyi Zhuanggong (43%)

"not bad."

In the forest, Zhang Yao looked at the data on the panel and nodded in satisfaction.

Most of the skills are easy to learn but difficult to master. The deeper the progress of Taiyi Zhuanggong, the more difficult it is to further improve.

But Zhang Yao found that with the deepening of his stance practice and the strengthening of his muscles and bones, the total amount of energy seems to have increased a lot, and the talent for transforming energy has also been strengthened.

Although this slowed down his cultivation progress a little, it was not obvious.

"It's time to go."

Zhang Yao put his back on his back and set foot on the mountain road back to Qingping Palace.

Compared with three months ago, his legs and feet are obviously lighter and more flexible. Although he still has no fighting skills, at least he can escape much faster when he encounters danger.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yao returned to the Danding Palace, and was about to put down his basket to eat, but he saw Master Guanlu suddenly said:

"Qingxu, you stay first."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Yao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly responded, and obediently stood where he was and waited.

"Um……"

Master Guanlu considered it for a while, and said:

"Today, a younger brother from Hongfa Hall came over and asked me for two Taoist boys to accompany me down the mountain to perform rituals."

"This is a rare good job. I prefer Yiyou and Qingyu. I will go to the Hongfa Hall tomorrow to help out."

"ah?"

Zhang Yao was a little surprised when he heard this, and subconsciously said:

"There is actually a shortage of people in the Hongfa Hall, so come to our Danding Hall to ask for it?"

Among the four halls, the Hongfa Hall is responsible for praying for laymen and benefactors outside the palace, as well as exorcising evil spirits and killing ghosts. It is the most noble and best treated among the four halls.

However, in normal days, there are not many opportunities to go down the mountain to do things, and there is often a lot of competition inside the Hongfa Hall. Now there is a shortage of people?

"Yes, the Hongfa Hall is short of manpower."

Master Guanlu nodded and explained a few simple sentences:

"Recently, there have been rumors of ghosts in several villages and towns below the mountain, causing panic among the people in the village."

"This time, several big families in the vicinity took the lead, raised money, and came to invite us to perform rituals, open a dojo, pray for disaster relief, and suppress evil spirits."

"Several ceremonies collided at the same time, and the manpower of the Hongfa Hall was completely empty. They had to come to my Danding Hall, wanting to top it up temporarily."

Zhang Yao was stunned, but he was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but said:

"Master... There are really ghosts in this world, right?"

He didn't believe in ghosts and gods originally, but he traveled to a new world, so it's hard to say.

If the mountain is really haunted, then he is absolutely unwilling to go down and take risks. He would rather hide on the mountain until the mountain subsides.

"..."

Immortal Guanlu was quite speechless:

"I think you've always been smart and smart, why are you so stupid today?"

"If there were ghosts and ghosts in the world, the people in Hongfa Hall would have died long ago. The Taiyi Zhuang Gong we practiced can't deal with ghosts and ghosts!"

"Master, forgive me, I was stupid."

Zhang Yao laughed twice, then asked curiously:

"Then why did Master choose me and Junior Brother Qing Yu?"

Master Guanlu looked at him and said seriously:

"Of all the Taoists in the hall, when it comes to appearance and appearance, you are the most important, followed by Qing Yu."

"Only if you two go forward, you won't lose the face of my Danding Palace, and if you go down the mountain, you won't shame my Qingping Palace."

"……I see."

Zhang Yao nodded, and said righteously:

"Then I will definitely share my worries for Master, and go to Hongfa Hall tomorrow morning."
