Chapter 177 Appointment as Governor
Zhao Lin was secretly happy. Normally, there were deacons patrolling the medicine mountain, and even Xingyun Sect disciples were not allowed to set foot on it. However, when sweeping the mountain, they could hunt and kill strange beasts openly.
"Elder, I wonder which mountain is being swept this time and what kinds of strange beasts are there?"
Elder Shui Jing thought for a while and said: "Which mountain has not been decided yet, I will just follow the master's instructions. As for the strange beasts, they are mostly pig beasts, armored beasts, iron-spined lizards and the like."
Shehao, armored beast, and iron-spined lizard respectively correspond to the wild boar, armadillo and lizard among wild beasts. They are exotic beasts with low level but strong reproductive ability. They often kill one crop and give birth to another one every few years.
.
Zhao Lin was certainly not interested in these kinds of strange beasts, so he asked in a casual tone: "Elder, are there any strange beasts that live particularly long?"
"Thousands of thousands of years ago." He added another sentence after finishing speaking.
Elder Shui Jing was slightly startled when he heard this question, and said in a funny tone: "Why do you ask this?"
Zhao Lin said seriously: "I'm just curious."
Elder Shui Jing didn't think much about it, and twirled his beard with his hand and said: "Alien beasts are also beasts. It's amazing if they can live for hundreds of years. For example, the earth spinner turtle can live up to five hundred years. The black stone mirror may live longer.
But it absolutely cannot exceed a thousand years."
The Spinner Turtle is a turtle-like exotic beast, and the Black Stone Mirror is a small alienated jellyfish. Both exotic beasts are famous for their longevity.
At this point, Elder Shui Jing suddenly changed his tone, "Every gain must come with a loss. Longevity comes with a price. The Earth Spinner Turtle remains motionless for many years, as if it were a dead thing. The black stone mirror is only about the size of a fingernail, and its body is thin.
Like paper, it dies when it is separated from water."
"What is the use of such longevity?"
Zhao Lin sighed in his heart, the elder's words were precise and pointed to the essence of things.
Yes, there is no immortal animal.
Each animal has some special abilities, such as running fast, jumping high, having a keen sense of smell, etc., but it is impossible to have the ability to live forever.
The so-called eternal life is mostly based on rumors.
I heard Elder Shui Jing continue to say: "To put it bluntly, humans are the spiritual beings of all things. Even humans cannot live forever. How can those strange beasts be so good?"
Zhao Lin thought that since this road was blocked, he could only start with martial arts, and asked: "Elder, I heard that there is an innate realm above the Yuan realm. I wonder how long a warrior in the innate realm has a lifespan?"
He asked his master Zhu Huaishan a similar question, but Zhu Huaishan cultivated in the blood realm and had a low status in the Xingyun Sect. He certainly did not know as many secrets of martial arts as Elder Shui Jing, so he might have different answers.
Elder Shui Jing shook his head and said simply: "I don't know."
Zhao Lin was surprised: "Has no one ever cultivated to the innate realm?"
He remembered that his master had said that a warrior in the Xiantian realm could live one hundred and twenty years. Why did the elder say he didn't know?
Elder Shui Jing smiled casually, "That's not true. There are indeed people who have cultivated to the innate realm and lived to be a hundred and twenty years old."
"But there are three levels of the Xiantian realm. No one has ever been able to achieve this third level, so no one knows how long a martial artist can live after he has completed the Xiantian realm!"
"I see."
A glimmer of hope ignited in Zhao Lin's heart. No matter what, he should cultivate to this point first.
There is no end to the sea of learning, and there should be no end to martial arts.
…
Water mirror department, practice room.
Zhao Lin fell to the ground, hugged his chest with his hands, and raised his shoulders slightly, which was exactly the posture of "embrace the sun and moon, and carry the mountains on your shoulders" in the Guihai Jue.
At this moment, he was closing his eyes tightly, driving two strands of energy to flow through his meridians.
A stream of energy goes up along the perineum, Qugu, Zhongji and Guanyuan of the Ren channel, and comes to the vicinity of the Shimen point.
Another line of energy travels along the length of the Governor Vessel, Yaoshu, Yangguan, and Mingmen, to the left and right sides of the Xuanshu point.
Two strands of energy are constantly probing and grinding the acupoints.
After an unknown amount of time, the two acupoints trembled slightly at the same time, revealing a tiny gap.
The energy that had been waiting outside for a long time immediately poured in from the gap, tearing a hole...
Shimen Cave is open!
Xuanxu point is open!
Zhao Lin slowly opened his eyes with a clear gaze.
"It is said that the third level of Qi is difficult to cultivate, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. It seems that practicing this kind of thing is like a pony crossing a river. The old cow said it was easy, but the little squirrel said it was difficult to do so."
The two meridians of Ren and Du are significantly different from the six Yang meridians and the six Yin meridians.
Ren meridian governs blood and is the boat of yin meridians; Du meridian governs qi and is the carriage of yang meridians. It can be said that these two meridians are the main hubs of qi and blood in the human body.
Once these two meridians are opened and the qi and blood are full and smooth, you can further break through to the blood realm.
However, correspondingly, the acupoints on these two meridians are also difficult to open.
The human body is symmetrical, and acupoints are also distributed in pairs, such as temples and Jianjing points.
The Ren and Du meridians are located on the central axis of the human body, and all acupoints exist independently.
The location is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack!
After Zhao Lin had his epiphany by the stream, it had only been ten days since he had already broken through ten acupoints.
At this rate, it will only take two months at most to achieve triple perfection. The speed is simply unbelievable.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
His body has been transformed by the spirit animal diagram, and tempered by seven sets of menstrual cleansing soup, and his talent has reached a higher level.
It’s normal to practice faster.
"No one has ever been able to cultivate to the third level of Xiantian Realm? I want to try."
…
"Brother Xiang?"
Zhao Lin pushed open the stone door and walked out of the practice room. He was surprised to find Xiang Bao standing outside the door, pacing back and forth, as if waiting for someone.
"I guess you're right here!" Xiang Bao walked over excitedly and said.
"Long time no see." Zhao Lin smiled.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiang Bao pretended to be mysterious and said: "Who do you think will come first in this spring competition?"
Zhao Lin blinked and understood somewhat. This person was here to show off to him.
"Is it you?"
"Exactly!"
Xiang Bao was very proud, "After losing to Zhong Yewu last year, Qiucai lost his place as an adult again. This time I finally regained some face."
Zhao Lin praised a few words and asked: "What is Chunbi's reward? It must be very good, right?"
Xiang Bao looked disdainful and snorted: "It's far worse than Qiucai! I only gave him a blood-restoring pill. It's like sending a beggar away. Is it possible that I have to wait until my thirties before entering the blood realm?"
"The sect is the same. After we were beaten to a pulp in the martial arts competition, we began to withhold rewards from us Qi Realm disciples, so as not to let the elders tighten..."
In the middle of speaking, I realized that I had let slip and immediately stopped talking.
"What is a martial arts tournament?"
When Zhao Lin returned to Longwan last time, he heard Elder Shui Jing say these words, but it was not convenient to ask at that time. Now that Xiang Bao mentioned it, he couldn't help but ask immediately.
"Did I say it? Did you hear it wrong?"
Xiang Bao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said as if nothing had happened.
"The same applies to the sect. If you compete in martial arts, you will be beaten to pieces..."
Zhao Lin stared at him and repeated the words he just said word for word, "I have heard people talk about it before, so I will never hear it wrong."
"who?"
"Elder Shui Jing."
Xiang Bao looked hesitant, and Zhao Lin didn't rush him and looked at him quietly.
