Chapter 194 Lure the snake out of its hole

"The longevity limit mentioned here refers to the limit of the golden elixir. It means that after four hundred and eighty-seven years, the monk's golden elixir begins to collapse. After the golden elixir collapses, the monk's physical body will decay and die. "

Empress Shiji said, "If the golden elixir does not collapse, then you can continue to live. However, the golden elixir's lifespan is only five hundred years. If you cannot cultivate the Nascent Soul, you can only live five hundred years at most. Can you see "The fact that you died after four hundred and eighty-seven years shows that you are good at refining the golden elixir."

She quite praised it. Most of the monks who refined the golden elixir lived less than 500 years. Some died at the age of 200, some died at the age of 300. Those who reached the age of more than 400 years were considered to be in the golden elixir realm. Master.

Chen Shi is twelve years old this year, plus 487 years, his life expectancy is 499 years.

The golden elixir has almost reached its limit after five turns, which shows that Chen Shi's golden elixir cultivation is extremely solid. If he continues to practice, he will definitely reach the limit of five hundred.

Chen Shi was still in a daze. After a long time, he suddenly said: "My grandfather faked his death and deceived Yinzai. He wanted to live a few more years and watch me grow up. Zen Master Kuzhu's golden body locked the vitality and soul, allowing Yinzai to It is impossible to get close. These powerful beings just want to live a few more years, but even Zen Master Kuzhu only lived for more than one hundred and thirty years, and he also did such outrageous things as demonic transformations."

He thought about it again. He had refined the golden elixir and had a lifespan of nearly five hundred years. If these people knew about it, his heart would be broken.

"It's normal for Jin Dan to live five hundred years."

Empress Shi Ji said, "The purpose of a monk's practice is to live forever. If he can't live forever, what kind of immortality would he practice? The purpose of cultivating Buddhism is also to free himself from life and death and transcend reincarnation. Otherwise, what kind of Buddha would he practice?"

Chen Shi was stunned.

But since the end of the True King Era, everyone has practiced this way.

Even those who have cultivated to the Mahayana realm only live a hundred years.

From the end of the True King era to the present, what has gone wrong so that the realm of monks has improved but their longevity has not increased?

Is it a problem with the exercises?

"Azure! Azure!"

Chen Shi immediately stood up, found Li Tianqing, and said quickly: "I will teach you a skill. You practice it first. When you have some success, you can see how many years you have left!"

Li Tianqing was tired from refining the elixir and was washing clothes by the well. Hearing this, he said: "I already have the skills to practice. My Li family's Six Yin Moon Wheel is the foundation. When I reached the golden elixir realm, I began to practice " The clan leader said that my talent was extraordinary, so he taught me the "Nancheng Zongyi Collection".

"Nancheng Zongyi Collection" is a technique left by Li Zongyi, the ancestor of the Li family. It is so profound that it cannot be passed down to anyone other than the sect leader. The fact that it can be passed on to Li Tianqing shows that the Li family attaches great importance to him.

Chen Shi handed him the Baji Golden Tower Divine Seal that he had silently written and said, "You take a look first."

Li Tianqing wiped the water on his hands, took the book, flipped through a few pages, and let out a sigh.

The starting point of the Baji Jinque Divine Seal is the cultivation method of the Jindan realm. It has no previous methods and is extremely concise. But judging from the method of the nine turns of the golden elixir, the golden elixir obtained through cultivation is actually much more profound than the golden elixir method recorded in the "Nancheng Zongyi Collection"!

Li Tianqing gained a lot from going to the Sanren gathering this time, and his understanding of the Jindan realm became deeper and deeper. He even noticed the shortcomings in the Li family's exercises and planned to make slight modifications.

But when Chen Shi took out the volume of the Eight-pole Golden Tower Divine Seal, he realized that no matter how much he cultivated, he could never improve the "Nancheng Zongyi Collection" to a level comparable to it!

"Where did you get it?" Li Tianqing asked without raising his head as he continued reading.

"Don't ask, just practice and watch!" Chen Shi said.

Li Tianqing watched all the way. When he saw that this skill had been cultivated to the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul, it stopped abruptly. He couldn't help feeling disappointed and said: "It's a pity that it is a fragment."

Even the fragments made him realize that this technique was far superior to the Li family's ancestral secrets.

If he practices it, the foundation laid by his golden elixir and Nascent Soul will be extremely solid!

Only with a solid foundation can you go further!

While thinking about the content of the technique, he washed his clothes. After the clothes were washed and dried, Li Tianqing had thoroughly understood the technique and started practicing it immediately.

Chen Shi waited for a few days, and Li Tianqing achieved some success in cultivating the Baji Golden Tower Divine Seal, and said in surprise: "Sure enough, you can see longevity!"

Chen Shi quickly asked: "How long do you live?"

"Eighty-four years later, my golden elixir collapsed and I died." Li Tianqing said.

Chen Shi's eyes widened and he stood there dumbly.

Eighty-four years, which means that after Li Tianqing refined the golden elixir, he could only live more than ninety years!

But Chen Shi is four hundred and eighty-seven years old.

There is a difference of more than four hundred years!

"There must be something wrong here..."

Various thoughts were racing through Chen Shi's mind. Was there something wrong with the exercises Li Tianqing practiced when he was building the foundation?

What Li Tianqing practiced was either Tianxin Zhengqi Jue or the Li family's foundation-building technique, which was similar to the techniques practiced by other monks.

What Chen Shi cultivated during his foundation building was the Three Lights Righteousness Technique.

Could this be the problem?

Very possible!

However, Chen Shi has studied Tianxin Zhengqi Jue. This technique is a foundation-building technique created by his grandfather, so there is absolutely no problem!

It is impossible for grandpa to deliberately leave flaws in the Tianxin Zhengqi Jue so that the monks' life span will not be increased. What's more, Grandpa himself doesn't live very long.

Moreover, the lifespan of their masters, such as the Thirteenth Aristocratic Family and the Da Baoguo Temple, is only a hundred years!

"What's the problem?"

While Chen Shi was thinking, Li Tianqing asked curiously: "Xiao Shi, how many years do you live?"

Chen Shi said casually: "Four hundred and eighty-seven years."

Li Tianqing was stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly, and quickly asked: "How much?"

"There are four hundred and eighty-seven years left." Chen Shi said.

Li Tianqing was stunned and suddenly realized: "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! You must have seen it wrong!"

After a long time, he finally accepted this reality in despair.

"When you are old, I will have been dead for four hundred years." He felt a little sad.

Chen Shi's eyes flashed and he said: "What do you think the problem is? Why do I live to be five hundred, but you only live to be one hundred?"

Li Tianqing thought about it: "Let's list what you have but I don't have. The technique, you practice the Three Lights Righteousness Technique, but I don't have it."

He first thought about the technique and said, "What are the three lights?"

"The three lights of the sun, moon and stars."

When Chen Shi said this, his body suddenly shook slightly, and he lost his voice and said, "I understand, I understand! When I first started practicing the Three Lights Righteousness Art, I absorbed starlight!"

Li Tianqing asked in confusion: "Starlight? But there are no stars in the sky..."

"That's right! You can't see the stars with the naked eye, but they do exist!"

Chen Shi said quickly, "When I activated this technique, I felt the stars from the sky fall down one after another and merged into my body. Later, I practiced in the temple that emerged from the ground, and I felt the sunlight coming from the ancestral land of Shenzhou. and moonlight, and then gathered the three lights to refine the Holy Embryo Dharmakaya. I have never practiced with the sunshine and moonlight of Xiniu Xinzhou!"

Li Tianqing walked around. He is very knowledgeable. He has basically seen all the exercises collected by the Li family and is familiar with various cultivation methods.

Among these exercises, there are those that harvest the essence of the sun, those that harvest the essence of the taiyin, and those that harvest the natural energy around you, or cultivate your own righteousness. There are all kinds of methods.

The most dangerous one is to collect Taiyin essence. Even if normal people practice it, they can easily be infected by the evil energy in the moonlight and turn into evil spirits.

But when you practice Sun Essence, you don’t have this worry.

"Could it be that there is really something wrong with the sun and the moon?"

Li Tianqing raised his head and looked at the sun and moon in the sky. Although it was daytime, the moon had already appeared.

It is common sense that dead things may turn into evil spirits when illuminated by the moonlight.

If you use Taiyin energy to practice, it will turn into evil spirits over time. Not many people know this.

Even the sun has problems!

When Li Tianqing came up with this idea, he felt that he was a little rebellious.

The true God is selfless, using his eyes as the sun and moon, allowing day and night to alternate between Xiniu and Xinzhou, allowing crops to grow and humans to survive and multiply. How can he say that sunlight is poisonous?

"Xiao Shi, can you pass on your Three Lights Righteousness Technique to me?"

Li Tianqing hesitated and said, "I want to verify it and give it a try."

Chen Shi stared into his eyes and said, "Do you want to abolish the golden elixir?"

Li Tianqing hesitated for a moment and nodded.

It definitely takes a lot of courage to abolish the golden elixir and the results of these years of hard work, but he is determined to abolish the golden elixir and verify it!

"I can pass on the Three Lights Righteousness Technique to you."

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "However, there is no such temple nearby. If there is no temple connected to the ancestral land, you can only practice by gathering starlight, which is much faster than entering the ancient temple and gathering three kinds of skylight to practice."

He owns a small temple with the sun, moon and stars in it. However, the small temple only accommodates spiritual bodies. Li Tianqing has a physical body and cannot enter it.

Li Tianqing smiled and said: "There are many such temples in the fifty provinces of Xiniu Xinzhou. I will look for a similar temple that is enough to complete the penance. In April next year, I will catch up with you!"

Chen Shi said in a deep voice: "I deeply admire your courage. Tianqing, this is where I am not as good as you. You are already a qualified Sanren. In this case, I will pass it on to you."

He copied down the Sanguang Zhengqi Jue and gave it to Li Tianqing.

Li Tianqing did not leave immediately. He spent another two days refining the remaining resurrecting pills and fulfilling the promise of one hundred furnaces of elixirs before preparing to set off to find the ancient lost temple.

Chen Shi saw him off. Before leaving, he took out more than two thousand taels of silver notes, stuffed them into his hand, and said, "You have to eat and drink these days. You can use these banknotes for spending."

Li Tianqing hesitated but did not refuse.

When he found an ancient temple, he would discard the elixir and live in seclusion. At that time, he would be afraid that his vitality would be greatly damaged and he would need to buy some elixirs to replenish his health. The Li family's monthly money is simply not enough, not to mention that it is impossible for the Li family's monthly money to be delivered to him.

He does need a lot of money.

Chen Shi handed over another jar and said with a smile: "This is the snack I gave you. Don't look at it yet. You can look at it on the way."

Li Tianqing took it. The jar was not heavy, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Xiao Shi, see you in Xijing."

Li Tianqing hugged him, patted his back, and said with a smile, "Next April, the Xijing Conference will take place. Don't let me catch you up!"

Chen Yong patted his back hard and said with a smile: "Then you have to hurry up. My recent practice has been extremely fast. I'm afraid I will be able to cultivate into Nascent Soul in a short time!"

The two waved goodbye, and Chen Shi watched him go away. After a long time, he returned to the village.

Li Tianqing activated the magic talisman on his feet, and after a short time, he walked dozens of miles away from Qianyang Mountain.

This journey is long, and he will search everywhere to find the truth about immortality.

When he was tired from walking, he stopped to rest and opened the jar that Chen Shi gave him. He saw that the jar was full of resurrecting pills, ranging from a hundred to eighty.

"This guy..."

Li Tianqing felt warm in his heart.

Chen Shi returned home and practiced for a few more days. The golden elixir turned from yellow to purple and turned into purple golden elixir!

Golden elixir six turns!

At this speed, he can complete the Nine Transformations of the Golden Pill and enter the Nascent Soul stage in just one month!

"With the Baji Golden Tower Divine Seal, and Shiji Empress being the divine fetus, cultivation is really fast!" Chen Shi sighed inwardly.

He packed up the Resurrection Pills that Li Tianqing had refined these days, packed up his car, and rushed to Juxian Tower in Xinxiang County.

Shao Jing saw him and said happily: "Brother Chen, you came just in time. The rejuvenation pill you consigned last time was bought by a customer from the provincial capital. The customer also asked which alchemist made the pill. I He didn’t say your name. He also said that if there is any resurrecting pill in the future, he will take it.”

After that, he pushed over a stack of banknotes.

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, he accepted the banknote and said, "Do you know who the customer is?"

Shao Jing shook his head: "The forces in the provincial capital have been purged twice in just one year, and the governors have been changed three times. In normal times, I would still recognize it, but now I don't. If you count a few banknotes, there will be a total of twelve Wanliang."

Chen Shi squeezed the thickness of the bank note and said with a smile: "No need to order it, how can I still not trust you?"

This time he consigned the Resurrection Pill, and the price listed was slightly cheaper than the normal price. Each pill was 300 taels, and 400 pills were sent to him one after another. As for how much Shao Jing sold one piece, he didn't care.

He didn't expect to sell them all at once, but he didn't expect that a rich man with deep pockets actually bought all these resurrecting pills!

Chen Shi pushed the remaining three hundred resurrecting pills in front of Shao Jing and said: "This is the last batch, there will be no more in the future."

Shao Jing was quite sorry. He also made a lot of money from Chen Shi's consignment of Resurrection Pills. Without the continuous supply of Resurrection Pills, he would have lost a way to make money.

"I also have a house in the provincial capital, why not go and take a look?"

After Chen Shi put away the banknote, he suddenly thought of the house given by Governor Xu. Seeing that it was still early, he had the idea of ​​​​going to the provincial capital.

He walked out of Juxian Tower and drove to Xinxiang Province.

Not long after, the wooden cart left the county town and arrived at the post road of the provincial capital.

"Woof!" Black Pot yelled.

"I know." Chen Shi said calmly.

Behind the wooden cart, several figures followed them intentionally or unintentionally.

"Shao Jing has been selling the Resurrection Pill for so many days, and the young master from Yudu finally found it here."

Chen Shi didn't look at these people and thought to himself, "His hand is indeed very far out!"

Above the wooden cart, several birds were flying, monitoring the movements of the people behind the cart.

His purpose of selling the Resurrection Pill on consignment in Juxian Tower was to lure out this Young Master from Yudu!
