When Gu and Lu passed the critical test, and after thoroughly refining the medicinal power of century-old ginseng, the sky turned from black to white, and it was the early morning of the next day.

This century-old ginseng absorbed the vitality and good fortune contained in the beautiful mountains and rivers. Chu also got 20% of it, and the remaining 80% was shared equally between Gu and Lu.

During this short retreat, everyone's skills have improved. Among them, Chu Yi's skills have increased the most, and Gu and Lu are already people with profound skills, and they have made further progress this time.

In the days that followed, Chu Yi and Gu Zezhi made a deal, and the two taught each other their family kung fu.

Chu also learned a new internal training method from him, called the "Shen Shen Qi Refining Method".

However, Taoist Master Lu scorned this method and said that it would be hard to exchange such an ordinary thing for "True Interpretation of the Five Elements", let alone "Qing Nang Xiang Er Zhu".

In fact, the method of preserving the spirit and refining qi began in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Because of its strong universality, it has been widely spread among the people.

The upper limit of this skill was originally in the realm of earthly immortals. However, as the cultivation environment became increasingly harsh, Taoism declined, and creation was cut off, the upper limit of this skill became lower and lower. By the Northern Song Dynasty, it was even difficult to achieve the realm of human immortality.

To this day, this method can only allow people to cultivate true Qi, and it will only reach the level of immortality.

The evolution of cultivation techniques, from ancient times to the present, has evolved from simplicity to complexity with the changes in the general environment.

In ancient times, at the beginning of the great road, spiritual energy was strong and full of vitality; those with great luck were born to be divine; those with great opportunities could get a share of good fortune by eating spiritual grass and spiritual fruits by mistake; those with great perseverance, relied on the simplest

The crude technique of breathing, breathing and guiding has also yielded some magical results.

The immortality at that time was truly immortal, and there was no need to practice diligently all day long like a Qi practitioner, constantly turning yin into yang to maintain one's immortality.

In essence, every time a qi refiner turns yin into yang, it is equivalent to living a new life, which is far less relaxed than the ancient gods.

At that time, although the treasures of heaven and earth were rare, they were not nearly extinct like they are now. As long as you work hard to find them, you will eventually gain something. Therefore, the most popular method is the 'Water Alchemy Method'.

With the help of the vitality of heaven and earth, I refine the elixir of immortality and swallow a golden elixir into my belly. My fate is determined by me and not by God.

At that time, the road was close to people and the gods were easy to achieve.

Until two major events happened one after another, which caused great changes in the world, the stars changed, the dragons were dormant, and even two dragon veins in the mountains and rivers of China were severed. Since then, the general environment of cultivation has gone from bad to worse, and the path of cultivation has almost been cut off.

To be successful in cultivation, you must fundamentally improve the method of cultivation.

The most important turning point was the emergence of Taoist ancestors. Lao Junye replaced gods with immortals, creating a framework for cultivating inner Qi to become immortals, and pointed out a broad road for future generations of practitioners.

Therefore, the external elixir method, which was most popular at the beginning, gradually became a side path to assist cultivation. The internal method of becoming an immortal began to become popular, and the methods of cultivation gradually became more complicated and numerous.

It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that the rise of the "Inner Alchemy Method" completely announced the perfection of the internal alchemy method, and the completion of the Immortal Dao system. The practice of Inner Alchemy was at its peak, and it actually bucked the trend and opened up a new world.

But I never thought that this kind of prosperity was just a false appearance. After the death of the Song Dynasty, the practice of cultivation and refining Qi completely fell into decline. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, no one has achieved the fruit of immortality.

Until now, there are only a handful of people left who have gained Qi through practice.

Therefore, today's laws may not be inferior to those of the past. The pioneering spirit of today's people has never been weaker than that of the ancients. It's just that the way of heaven is irreversible.

If the method of preserving the spirit and refining Qi was placed in the pre-Qin period, we might be able to try to obtain an immortal Taoist fruit, which would still allow people to practice Qi refining even now.

And those magical secrets that sound very high-end, although the upper limit is very high and can achieve the immortal Taoist fruit, the lower limit is also high. In such a world of declining Taoism, there is no way to practice it and can only be shelved.

Therefore, the simpler the exercise, the more effective it may be in today's era.

......

Let’s get back to the main story.

After being ridiculed by Lu Zhanyuan, Gu Zezhi was not annoyed and said that the Shen Qi Refining Technique was just an add-on. What he really wanted to exchange for was the Five Elements and Bagua technique passed down by his family and a piece of important news.
p>

In fact, in this era of decline, magical powers and spells are just nonsense. Although it is said that you can cast spells with your true energy, basically no one will do this.

Putting aside the effectiveness and power of the spell, the price alone is enough to make the monks feel pain.

True energy is related to one's own life. Once the loss is irreparable, it is equivalent to exchanging one's life for magical power. Maybe if you use it once or twice, you will die suddenly because the true energy is exhausted.

To give a simple example, a spell is like a pistol, and the true energy is the bullet. In the era of Dao decline, the production capacity of bullets cannot keep up. After one or two uses, the gun will be useless, and the fire stick will not be used.

So this led to the vast majority of Taoist priests starting to practice martial arts to protect the Tao, and replaced their pistols with red tassel guns, which are durable, cheap and sturdy.

Chu Yi was originally quite speechless about this. The magic used in the era of decline was very fancy and not practical at all. If he really started to fight with others, he would just cast a fireball spell and not burn the other party to death first. Instead, he would be because of the real

It would be funny to die after running out of Qi.

But the news that Gu Zezhi revealed next made Chu Yi and Lu Zhanyuan freeze in place at the same time.

The two dragons of the north and the south are resurrected, and a great era of spiritual practice is coming! In this life of my life, I hope to attain enlightenment and become an immortal!

Just because methods such as magic and magical powers cannot be used now does not mean that they cannot be used in the future!

After Lu Zhanyuan came to his senses, he said on the spot that this news was the most valuable!

Those who are born in this world and take advantage of the opportunity are expected to be called ancestors!

Times make heroes. If you stand in the wind, even a pig can take off. As long as you don't die in the middle, your future achievements will be at least like a canopy marshal!

......

After Gu Zezhi got what he wanted, he left in a hurry. In the days that followed, Chu Yi followed Daozhang Lu, recovering from his injuries and practicing his martial arts.

During this period, Lu Zhanyuan also specially taught him some boxing techniques so that he could use them to protect himself.

The boxing technique is very simple. It just extracts some essence from Xingyiquan. There are five moves in total, and they are very consistent with the "Five Forms True Explanation". They are the black tiger pulling out the heart, the old bear shaking the tree, the ape hanging seals, and the white crane spreading its wings to tease the vagina.

Feet... Because there is no deer shape among the twelve Xingyi postures, Daoist Lu created his own move on the spot, "Chasing the Deer in the Central Plains".

With these five moves of Sanshou at his side, plus the assistance of his inner energy, Chu Yi can be considered a little master. Next time he meets those enemies, even if he can't defeat them, he still has a little more room for maneuver.

I will be as helpless as before.

......

Time flies, and soon it is early June. It has been more than a hundred days since Chu Yi went up the mountain. The changes in these more than a hundred days can be called a rebirth. His body is stronger and stronger than ordinary people. He has built a foundation in a hundred days.

It’s not a lie.

Although the inner energy has been trained to the thickness of wool, it still cannot see the soul, connect the life, and unite the three treasures into true energy.

In this regard, Gu Zezhi said that there was no need to rush, and he could only take his time. Maybe one day he would have a flash of inspiration and he would see it naturally.

Since there is no use in cleaning up the mountain, Chu Yi also plans to say goodbye and leave. After all, it is a bit embarrassing to eat and use other people's things for more than a hundred days, not to mention that he still has a very important thing to do, and

The earlier the better, before the news of the Dragon Vein's recovery has spread, go to a mountain gate to change the method quickly, otherwise it will not be so easy to change it when they notice this.

Although "The True Interpretation of Five Forms" is good, it is not a method of immortality after all. As the dragon veins recover, it will become more and more depreciated! It is better to exchange it for maximum benefits while there are still rare goods available.

......

At the foot of the mountain, Chu Yi and Lu Zhanyuan said goodbye.

Lu Zhanyuan looked at the now energetic Chu Yi and couldn't help but joked: "Hey, are you finally leaving? If you don't leave, I will really be poor."

Chu Yi replied sincerely: "I have been harassing the Taoist priest for many days, and I am very grateful. If you have any missions in the future, just say a word and I will definitely come."

Lu Zhanyuan waved his hand and said: "You'd better take care of yourself first. I'll tell you a fortune. If you go down the mountain this time, you may inevitably end up in jail."

When Chu Yi heard this, he looked bitter and said in astonishment: "No way! I'm going to jail again! Can I avoid it?"

Lu Zhanyuan shook his head and said: "Unless you stay on this mountain until next year, there is no way to avoid it. Once you go down the mountain, you will definitely suffer disaster, but there is no need to worry too much. Judging from this hexagram, there is no fear of life. Squat down.

It will be out in ten days and a half."

"That's good." Chu Yi nodded, cupped his fists and saluted again, then turned and left.

At this moment, Lu Zhanyuan looked at Chu Yi's retreating figure, suddenly thought of something, and called him to stop.

I saw Taoist Master Lu pointing to the top of the mountain behind him and saying loudly: "Fellow Taoist Chu, do you want a magic weapon that Pindao gave you?"

When Chu Yi heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately responded: "Yes, of course! What magic weapon? Take it out and have a look!"

Director Lu smiled happily and said: "But not now, when the time comes, we will find out."

Chu Yi nodded, clasped his fists and saluted again, then turned and left.

After watching him go away, Taoist Master Lu turned around, looked far into the distance, looked at the peach and jujube trees on the top of the mountain, and murmured: "The grace of enlightenment should be repaid with the foundation of enlightenment. If a poor Taoist takes advantage of it,

If he goes to Aotou, he should be called his ancestor... It's just that when he comes down from the mountain this time, it will inevitably cause some waves, but I really want to see what happens to the major mountain gates when his plan is successful.

What an expression, hahaha..."

The Taoist laughed, his body was like a startled giant, he soared up and disappeared into the forest.
Chapter completed!
