Cultivation Of Immortality

Author: Misty Liebisch

Chapter 1: Passing the Examination and Worshiping the Ancestors

Dongxuan Shenzhou, Daqian, Fengxi County

The moon is like a hook

Dark and windy night

In the Zhang family ancestral hall, the lights were brilliant.

A young man with fair skin and a delicate face took the lead and walked out of the moon door next to him. He was wearing a sapphire blue gauze straight skirt and looked calm.

Zhang Jian looked at the solemn and solemn ancestral hall in the night with something strange in his eyes.

This is not the first time he has set foot on the most sacred place in this clan.

In a flash he waved.

Boxes of treasure money were carried in by healthy servants in green clothes.

Not far away, a brazier was set up by the family's temple in the ancestral hall.

This temple priest was dressed in black, dressed as a Taoist priest, and looked serious.

Brother Jian, everything you need is ready!

After a slight pause, the black-clothed Taoist frowned again and said, Actually, Brother Jian doesn't have to be so diligent, as long as you get what you want!

Zhang Jian waved his hand: Uncle Yi, our ancestors overcame thorns and thorns, and only then did we have the Zhang family's current foundation. We should serve our ancestors diligently!

Hearing this, the black-clothed Taoist glanced up and down at Zhang Jian and said nothing, but there was something strange in his eyes.

But he just thought Zhang Jian had a weird temperament.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Zhang Jian walked directly across the solemn clan temple.

This time, it turned out to be true, because he finally passed the provincial examination and was awarded the title of Leader of the Five Classics.

Wu Jingkui is not the leader of the provincial examination.

The third to fifth placers in the provincial examination are the top five candidates. In fact, it is just a name, not much different from other candidates.

But the people who have been elected can already become officials, which can be regarded as honoring the ancestors.

It is also appropriate to worship ancestors and thank our ancestors for their care.

Although the Zhang family has already sacrificed their ancestors for this...

Zhang Jian looked at the solemn ancestral hall in front of him, but in his eyes it had become a huge cornucopia. His eyes were shining, but he remained serious and calm.

Zhang Jian is a time traveler, and it can also be said that he has awakened his Suhui.

Now he is the eldest son of Zhang Yi, the head of the Zhang family's Ao clan. He is young and promising, and is a well-known child prodigy. He passed the provincial examination at the age of fourteen or fifteen and is highly regarded by the clan.

The Zhang family is also a well-known and large family in Fengxi County.

Since the sixth uncle became a Jinshi, the Zhang family has gradually transformed from a simple country squire to a scholarly family.

As for being so enthusiastic about serving his ancestors, it was entirely because Zhang Jian found that he could harvest wool from these ancestors.

At this time, in the corridor on the other side, there was another Luo Shang woman with fair skin and a charming face, looking at this scene with cold eyes. She was wearing a flying phoenix golden hairpin on her head. When she saw the movement at the door of the ancestral hall, she said dissatisfied:

He will actually please the master, the elder of the clan!

There were two figures, one tall and one short, beside them. One of them was a young man in green clothes. He hesitated slightly, but couldn't help but said.

My dear, my mother said this is called filial piety! Our country has always governed the world with filial piety and brotherhood. The elder brother is diligent in offering incense in the clan ancestral hall and respects the elders. It is also a good story to spread...

Seeing that the young man in green became more upright as he talked, a female messenger in pink beside her couldn't help but pouted and said: Brother Min, you crawled out of your mother's belly, why are you helping outsiders!

Hearing this, the young man in green became angry and looked unhappy. Seeing this, the woman Luo Shang scolded: Lu'er, this is what you should say. If others hear it, do you still want to die?!

Hearing this, Lu'er's pretty face turned pale and she quickly lowered her head.

Zhang Min hesitated to speak, but looked at Aunt Zhou's unhappy expression, and suddenly became unhappy. He didn't like this kind of intrigue, and always found it disgusting.

He simply apologized slightly to Aunt Zhou, turned around and left.

Aunt Zhou looked unhappy and her eyes were a little gloomy.

Although the Zhang family is not a family of hairpins for generations, they have been strictly cultivating their children according to the standards of the hairpins family since they became successful. Although Zhang Min was born to her, she has been raised by the eldest lady since she was born.

Even though she was unwilling to be alone in this situation, she was unable to do anything about it.

At the moment, I can only be supported by Lu'er and return to Chunyuan Xiaozhu on the left.

Inside the ancestral hall

Zhang Jian glanced directly ahead.

At the top are rows of blue lacquered tablets of the God.

Mr. Zhang, Youren's spiritual throne!

Mr. Zhang, the spiritual throne of immortality!

Mr. Zhang, the spiritual position of Linghui!

…

There are also lifelike portraits of ancestors hanging on the walls, which look solemn and solemn.

But there is a strange golden statue standing in the center of the ancestral hall.

It was a female golden body.

It looks very majestic and sacred.

This golden body also holds a stone mirror engraved with countless patterns of birds and animals in front of it. It looks extremely simple and its entire body is gray.

This is an heirloom of the Zhang family. Zhang Jian was a little strange. He once wanted to touch this thing, but Zhang Yi stopped him, saying that it was an heirloom of the Zhang family. It was solemn and sacred and could not be desecrated.

As for this golden body, it is rumored that it is not the ancestor of the Zhang family, but the benefactor of the Zhang family. It is said that he had a kindness to the Zhang family, so he set up the golden body and invited it to the ancestral hall. The descendants of the Zhang family have kept the incense and worship it for generations.

Zhang Jian's eyes were extremely solemn at this time, and there was some hope in his eyes. He had discovered very early that there seemed to be a chance of receiving feedback when sacrificing this 'ancestor' under certain conditions.

He had received feedback seven or eight times before, but the most precious three were a spoonful of golden luck, a golden gold ingot of luck, and a golden bead of luck.

This luck was mysterious and unusual, but it allowed him to pass both the government examination and the provincial examination in a short period of time, and once he saved the life of an important person.

Thanks to the benefits, Zhang Jian changed from an ordinary boy to a well-known filial son!

Even in order to establish this persona, he worked hard to create a filial son persona.

Loads of cinnabar treasure coins were taken out from the servants' baskets, and then divided into piles and burned with the help of temple blessing rituals.

Wisps of light bloomed from the brazier in front of me.

In Zhang Jian's eyes, countless cinnabar treasures in the brazier in front of him turned into ashes, including a cinnabar pagoda he bought from a nearby paper shop.

This is the soul-crushing tower. It is said to be a new product of the paper-making shop.

I also asked a virtuous old Taoist priest to consecrate it.

It can appease the souls of the dead and save the ancestors from suffering.

Very popular.

Zhang Jian watched the treasure notes and the soul-suppressing tower turn into ashes with bright eyes. There was nothing strange about him. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and then looked forward to it.

The seed has been planted, now comes the harvest.

And this time he successfully passed the provincial examination and ranked first in the Five Classics, which should be a surprise.

As far as he knew, every time his identity changed drastically, the things he got from worshiping his ancestors would be better.

After everything was completed, Zhang Yi stepped forward.

Brother Jian, it's late at night, let us clean this place!

Uncle Yi, I leave it to you!

Zhang Jian nodded slightly. He couldn't wait to go back. He believed that after he fell asleep, there would be feedback.

Zhang Jian left in a hurry.

Midnight came, outside Zhangjia'ao, at this time, in the darkness in the distance, fire gradually appeared in the mountain wind. A group of people and horses raised dust, and the sound of horse hooves roared. In the rush of night, they were close to the outside of the walled city., on the city battlements, after the patrolling strong men confirmed the identity of a group of people, they quickly released them!

Chapter 2 Appearance

Inside the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall

As the piles of treasure money turned into blue smoke, it penetrated into the blue clouds.

At this time, there was a magnificent power of incense lingering in the ancestral hall, penetrating the heaven and earth.

The Immortal Gate is vast, and within a majestic and ethereal huge holy realm, an extremely beautiful existence has been waiting quietly.

This is Qingxin Hall

She is the goddess Qingxia and the leader of the guards in Yaochi. In terms of status, she ranks among the top among the many female fairies in Yaochi.

Goddess Qingxia's beautiful eyes were filled with beauty at this moment. She raised her gaze and looked at the Two Realms Pond in front of her.

The nine-color pool water is like a mirror.

A moment later, a large ball of intense divine light appeared, and countless golden ingots could be seen emerging, falling into her body in an instant.

Three thousand incense from the Zhang clan!

Qingxia Goddess's phoenix eyes moved slightly.

This little bit of willingness has very limited effect on a female fairy of her level.

Even if its quality is flawless, it is an extremely rare flawless incense that contains the charm of heaven and earth.

But in the boring position, it is also a rare adjustment.

At this moment, Goddess Qingxia's eyes moved, and she saw huge waves suddenly blooming from the two realms pool, and the nine-color pool water was bubbling.

The strings of music escape and the sounds of heaven linger.

In an instant, a golden light flew into her hand.

It was a golden seven-story pagoda.

The golden light is moving, and there are seven golden bells swaying in the wind. However, the sound of these bells has a strange tranquility and peace, turning violence into peace and eliminating all kinds of delusions and distracting thoughts.

Is this a meritorious instrument, born innately and nurtured by heaven?

Goddess Qingxia stood up immediately and looked at the pagoda slightly.

Don’t use too many words to describe the rarity of meritorious treasures!

Merit instruments are also extremely rare in the fairy world.

Especially for some special immortals, such as some immortals who are plagued by calamities and have deep karma, they may be life-saving straws.

Even if you don't use this thing yourself, it will be extremely valuable if you sell it.

I didn't expect that such a change could occur?!

Goddess Qingxia's Taoist heart fluctuated, and hundreds of flowers bloomed in the divine realm. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Let’s not mention the value of this soul-suppressing tower to her.

For her sister, this thing can be regarded as a timely help.

Her sister is suffering from a demonic calamity and is about to re-enter the mortal world. This treasure can protect a ray of true spirit. After reincarnation, there is also hope of returning.

It can be described as a life-saving straw.

Goddess Qingxia put away the golden tower casually, with some thought in her eyes.

Since this is the case, then she, as the ancestor, naturally has to show something, and she cannot take advantage of it in vain.

It is also a proper gift to repay one or two.

Just looking at the narrow heavenly passage in front of her, Goddess Qingxia's mind changed. There were some things in her way that were too powerful and she couldn't get through them for the time being.

It's also illegal.

Although she has some privileges as a Yaochi Fairy, she can't go too far.

So as not to be caught by the opponent and hurt your feet.

Currently, she can only send some small items or invisible treasures, such as giving a cup of luck, or small treasures such as luck gold beads.

Golden beads? By the way, some time ago the Southern Sky Vulcan asked me to do something and he sent me a few treasures. After giving away a few, I seem to still have one on me!

While the goddess was deep in thought, there was a sudden smile in her eyes.

As she thought, an invisible ball appeared in her white jade palm. It floated out in an instant and fell into the Tianjie Pond. Afterwards, a blue bird messenger took it away.

At the same time, she hurried to another fairyland with the soul-suppressing tower!

…

Fang Lin lives in the Zhang family. Zhang Jian fell asleep after returning to his room.

In his dream, he saw a huge blue bird flying out from the direction of the clan temple, and suddenly a ray of light fell outside his window.

In his dream, Zhang Jian felt a blazing fire falling from the sky and falling into his heart.

After a moment, a goddess with golden light all over her body appeared. She was tall, graceful, and sacred.

Zhang Jian sat up from the bed in a daze.

In a moment, I could see a blue bird in my arms!

As she waved her hand, a ray of fire turned into red light and flew out, reaching Zhang Jian in an instant.

Mr. Zhang Jialang, this is your reward for offering sacrifices in your clan's temple. It is a rare treasure of the Immortal Family. I hope you enjoy it well!

Her voice was gentle, as if she wanted to say more, but suddenly she felt a strong divine light in the dark void that seemed to be overflowing. She frowned and immediately sat on the blue bird and soared into the sky.

The world here is extraordinary and contains many taboos. Even they cannot cross it. They must abide by the laws of heaven, otherwise there will be unexpected dangers.

At this time, in his dream, Zhang Jian vaguely felt a giant blue bird coming from the sky that blocked out the sun. When it passed by him, a fairy apricot flew and fell into his hand.

Countless inexplicable sounds appeared in his ears. He felt dizzy and couldn't hear clearly. He vaguely sensed a few words, which were probably responses from an ancestor after offering sacrifices in the clan temple.

Give him a Southern Fire Immortal Apricot.

At the same time, he also informed him of the origin of the apricot.

After a while, Zhang Jian suddenly woke up and sat up from the couch. At the same time, Zhang Jian noticed a foreign object in his hand.

That's a fiery red 'bead'!

The whole body exudes a magnificent fiery red light!

There was a strong fragrance that came through vaguely, tickling his taste buds and making his mouth salivate.

That's a fiery red apricot!

Zhang Jian didn't know the origin of this thing, but he vaguely knew that it was not extraordinary.

In fact, the Southern Fire Immortal Apricot in his hand is a descendant of a certain generation of the Wind and Thunder Immortal Apricot, the god of heaven and earth. Although it is four or five generations different from the Wind and Thunder Immortal Apricot, which is the spiritual root of Heaven and Earth, it is still a treasure. Eating it can strengthen the foundation and strengthen the body. Nourish the wisdom and strengthen the soul.

Zhang Jian couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. This was the first time he had obtained a real object.

There are still some differences between physical objects and intangible objects.

Looking at the fairy apricot in his hand, Zhang Jian thought for a while and ate it in several mouthfuls.

This fairy apricot tastes very good, crisp, sweet and juicy. After eating it, a refreshing taste goes straight into the limbs and bones, as if the whole person suddenly becomes complete.

There is a warm current flowing through the body from the stomach to the limbs.

Zhang Jian raised his hand. His eyes were slightly hazy and swaying. For a moment, he slowly saw the depths of his own flesh and blood, as if a hazy light was born, hot and warm. Gradually, he seemed to be deeply drunk, his face turned red and slow. He slowly fell to the ground. Fortunately, the servant outside noticed the movement in the house and quickly called for someone to lift him to the collapse.

…

The next day, in the faint morning light

In the yard, many Zhang family nurses were playing with swords, or showing off their fists and kicks during morning exercises. The killers who licked the blood from the blades still valued the fists, kicks and swords in their hands.

This is the guy who eats.

In particular, many transactions of the Zhang family are indispensable without the escort of force.

Although there were no lights or shadows of swords in the yard, there was the sound of whimpering blades from time to time, which brought a bit of chill and made people feel uncomfortable.

Under the pavilion corridor, Zhang Jian has a slender figure. He is dressed in blue casual clothes today, and only uses a black jade hairpin to tie his hair. The personal servant Zhang Lu behind him has a strange look. Zhang Jian has been standing here for a while, and he seems to be worried today. The skills of these killers are particularly interesting.

Chapter 3 Miraculous

Zhang Jian glanced around. Although these bankers had extraordinary skills, his eyes mainly fell on three figures.

He couldn't tell the strengths and weaknesses of these bankers before, but now he can see some tricks.

The same punching style and leg strength seemed to be extremely fierce, but there seemed to be a difference.

It's just this difference that makes Zhang Jian see flowers in the fog.

This is what an outsider looks at.

It should be the effect of the fire apricot, it is worthy of the immortal family!

His eyes were very strange, which alarmed some of the dealers. However, after realizing that it was Zhang Jian, they didn't care, relaxed and continued their morning exercises.

Zhang Jian is not an outsider.

Anyone else would not be allowed to peek.

For these fighting men, rules are rules, which need to be maintained with blood. There is no way to change them. Only power can make way for these rules.

But he saw a figure quietly arriving in front of Zhang Jian.

The man in black clothes wore a lotus crown, and his face was sinister, but his expression softened slightly as he looked at Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian just turned around and smiled gently.

His eyes were smiling now.

Uncle Yi, I think these great masters are all very skilled in their crafts and are very powerful. I want to learn a skill or two, do you think it will work?

Hearing Zhang Jian's words, the other dealers obviously paused slightly.

Zhang Yi glanced at everyone, frowning and saying nothing.

Zhang Jian is a literary star of the Zhang family. He has already passed the provincial examination at a young age. In the future, he will definitely take the official entrance to the imperial court. He is worried that practicing martial arts will distract Zhang Jian's energy. If it affects the examination of the Ministry of Rites, it will be more gain than loss..

Besides, he has no right to comment on this matter!

Zhang Jian saw Zhang Yi's hesitation at a glance and took the initiative to dispel his concerns.

Uncle Yi, you know that I almost crawled out of the examination room for this provincial examination. My body is too weak. Even if I become an official for one of my parents in the future, I'm afraid it will be extremely inconvenient. I don't ask for my skills to be able to fight with those who have been fighting for many years. Compared with military men, at least they have to have a healthy body, not just to live a long life!"

Zhang Jian looked serious.

It was not that he had never thought about practicing martial arts before, but he was indeed limited by his limited energy and could only choose the best solution. Now after eating fire apricots, he felt full of energy and could try martial arts.

Zhang Yi nodded slightly and said, So, which master's craftsmanship do you want to learn?

Zhang Jian said, I think Uncle Yi seems to have some kung fu in his hands. How about I take Uncle Yi as my teacher?

This is an idea that Zhang Jian has had in his mind for a long time

Zhang Yi was surprised. He looked at Zhang Jian strangely and said, Brother Jian, why do you want to worship me as your teacher?

Zhang Jian made no secret of his thoughts: Because I think these masters seem to be afraid of Uncle Yi!

They are both blood-licking killers. If the two were so different, how could there be any reason to be afraid? Only when the gap reaches a huge disparity would these dealers show such expressions.

Another thing is that in Zhang Jian's eyes, he can somewhat 'see through' the spirits of other dealers, but the Zhang Yi in front of him always gives him a sense of ambiguity.

There was a smile on Zhang Yi's sinister face.

He glanced at Zhang Jian up and down, then shook his head.

The threshold for entry into what I have learned is extremely high and cannot be easily accessed by ordinary people. This requires special fate!

Special fate?

Zhang Jian was a little dazed. He had never heard that practicing martial arts required any special fate, but it didn't look like Zhang Yi was just perfunctory with him.

Is it qualifications?

Zhang Jian was curious and said, Uncle Yi, can you tell me something?

Zhang Yi pinched his beard and smiled softly. His originally sinister face looked at Zhang Jian with a bit of tenderness: Brother Jian, do you understand the two paths that people who practice martial arts should take?!

Zhang Jian nodded: I've heard of it, physical training and internal training!

Could Uncle Yi be practicing internal refining?

Zhang Jian's eyes moved and he became solemn.

Although he took the imperial examination route and wanted to become a civil servant in the future, he still knew something about martial arts.

And also inquired carefully.

When a time traveler learns that there is martial arts in his environment, how can he restrain himself from taking action?

After weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to study for the imperial examination.

This is Zhang Jian's regret all along.

A person's energy is limited after all. Zhang Jian knows very well where a person's limits are. He can only choose the path that is easiest to succeed. As a question writer in a small town, it is undoubtedly easier to succeed by taking the road of studying and taking the imperial examination.

This is of greatest value to the entire clan.

As for practicing martial arts, it can only make a limited improvement in personal strength in a short period of time. It cannot bring more practical benefits to the Zhang family, nor can it consolidate his status as the eldest son of the Zhang family.

In fact, the Zhang family also has people who practice martial arts. The fact that the Zhang family can recruit so many good players as dealers shows everything.

Not short of a killer.

Zhang Jian also knows that if he practices martial arts, he may not be able to achieve anything famous.

In addition, it is not easy to stand out in martial arts.

Practice in the winter and practice in the summer!

It also requires famous teachers and resources, both of which are scarce.

Zhang Jian had long ago learned that there are two types of martial arts practitioners: physical training and internal training.

The former forges the skin, beats the muscles and bones, and refines the internal organs and cleanses the marrow.

The latter focuses on internal Qi cultivation.

He found out the pros and cons of both.

Physical training is easy to learn but difficult to master, but the benefits are obvious, the threshold is relatively low, and the actual combat ability is relatively strong.

Experts who exercise externally are more likely to develop combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

As for internal qi practice, in the early stage of internal qi cultivation, the main purpose is to nourish one's own internal organs, and it is difficult to intuitively form explosive power.

But if you practice to a profound level, you also have incredible power.

But there are very few such existences.

Moreover, internal Qi cultivation is different from external physical training. The requirements for internal Qi cultivation are higher and require more understanding.

In fact, it’s all about logical thinking. Many inner-qi cultivation methods have too many terms and deep traps. If you practice them in a haphazard way, you will easily die young before hurting others.

Zhang Jian guessed in his mind that Zhang Yi might be talking about the method of internal refining.

After all, only condensing inner energy requires qualifications.

Zhang Yi glanced at Zhang Jian in slight surprise, his eyes fluctuated, and he nodded.

Refining within, so to speak!

However, the fate I am talking about is more special than ordinary internal cultivation. You have to think about it. Martial arts is just like studying literature. It is also a brand new subject. It is not an ordinary tedious task. If you feel It’s hard, you can give up at any time!

Zhang Yi didn't take it seriously. He just thought that Zhang Jian wanted to practice martial arts on a whim.

After all, Zhang Jian is already so old and it is too late to practice martial arts.

Uncle Yi, I want to try it!

There was a glimmer of light in Zhang Jian's eyes, his eyes were filled with light!

He was not as excited as he was when he passed the provincial examination, because passing the provincial examination was only because of his family's needs, and practicing martial arts to strengthen himself was the deepest desire in his heart.

What's more, knowing the existence of immortals, Zhang Jian has a deep curiosity and yearning for spiritual practice.

In that case, then come with me!

But when Zhang Jian entered Zhang Yi's study, he was suddenly in a daze.

In Zhang Yi's study, there are countless maps densely packed with complicated meridians, as if you have entered the territory of a master in a certain subject...

I still have to do the questions...

Chapter 4 Health Preservation

Zhang Jian stopped at the door of the study and looked at the countless messy maps in front of him. In the middle, there were a dozen scrolls filled with countless strange rune lines.

There are piles of ancient books scattered around in a mess!

Is this the case for martial arts training as well?

Zhang Jian's expression was a little frozen, but suddenly he felt a chill in his vest.

There were several clanging sounds, accompanied by the dull friction sound of the mechanism opening.

The faint morning light hangs down from the skylight.

What he saw was a completely opened secret compartment in the study room, and Zhang Yi entered it directly without any concealment.

There were piles of bones inside.

This uncle seems a bit unserious...

Zhang Jian's face was a little stiff at this time, but his expression remained calm.

There was some murmuring in my heart.

Judging from Zhang Yi's usual behavior and appearance, Zhang Jian can easily contact the evil sect and the big devil.

But Zhang Yi has always treated him well.

There shouldn't be any negative thoughts towards him.

Zhang Yi had been secretly observing Zhang Jian's expression. When he saw that Zhang Jian's eyes were slightly startled, but then his expression calmed down, he immediately nodded secretly.

Zhang Jian is indeed outstanding.

His original thoughts suddenly changed slightly. His eyes fell on a few dark cells and he said casually.

Brother Jian, don't underestimate martial artists. Martial arts practice is the same as the Four Books and Six Classics in your imperial examination. Any classic is worth a lifetime of exploration!

Especially the internal training method is more complicated than the external training method!

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he found three books from a pile of miscellaneous books, namely a medical book Yi Mai Shu, a Brief Introduction to Internal Refining Terms, and finally a Taoist scripture Yun Yuan Health Preservation Jing!

Health Sutra...

Zhang Jian looked at Zhang Yi with a strange expression.

To his surprise, Zhang Yi didn't give him any evil-looking evil scriptures, but it was very 'orthodox'!

Zhang Jian took the three books. He noticed that the handwriting on these three books had been smoothed, and it seemed that they had been read many times.

This discovery made his heart feel a little warmer.

Zhang Yi didn't care at all about the pile of white bones covered with rune lines next to him. He said with a gentle smile on his sinister face: Try it. Although this Yunyuan Health Sutra is mild, it is better than the internal energy it cultivates. It is peaceful and nourishing.!"

Gentleness and peace have always been linked to high fault tolerance.

In other words, no matter how hard you practice, there won't be any serious consequences.

Zhang Yi added another point.

The most important first step in internal training is to sense Qi and develop the first bit of Qi strength. This alone stops most people from trying to take the road of internal training. However, this Qi feeling requires a sudden flash of inspiration. You There’s no need to rush.

In addition, you can learn some health-preserving Kungfu from Jian Yao, such as Sanyang Zhuang, and cooperate with fellow Jinggong practitioners. This will be good for you!

Jian Yao was one of the three people Zhang Jian had noticed before that his aura was far superior to that of Zhuang Ke. He was good at swordsmanship and was known as the Yum Knife.

Zhang Jian was shocked and nodded. He glanced at the secret compartment of Zhang Yi's study and glanced at the dozens of strange runes and meridian scrolls hanging in the center.

The dozens of strange rune scrolls were hung in the center, which were obviously extremely important to Zhang Yi.

After watching Zhang Jian leave, Zhang Yi also turned his gaze back to the dozens of paintings on the wall of the darkroom, with a gloomy look on his brows.

No matter how hard he studied, the mysteries contained in these dozens of ancient paintings could never be solved.

…

in wonderland

The goddess Qingxia went straight into the fairyland made of ice. In a huge glacier cave, she saw a huge ice sculpture.

The ice sculpture exudes a strong chill, as if it freezes all space, time, and stops the world. There is another graceful figure in the ice crystal, but there is a layer of strong black air poison inside. At a glance, the black air poison seems to be able to Let people vomit out three souls and seven souls from their mouths, and the boundless world will be polluted.

It's gotten so bad?

Goddess Qingxia frowned slightly.

In her divine eyes, the toxins from these heavenly demons were already approaching the female fairy's soul within the ice crystal. If the soul was infected, it would be difficult to reincarnate.

Her friend was indeed at the end of his tether.

Sister Qingxia!

At this time, an ethereal voice emerged from the huge ice crystal.

Her voice is smart and graceful, like the sound of a clear spring, moving people's hearts.

Goddess Qingxia said solemnly: Don't say too much, my sister has found a meritorious instrument for you, you can take it with you and reincarnate now!

As she waved her hand, she saw the seven-story golden pagoda fly out of her hand, and suddenly turned into golden light and fell into the depths of Baihua Fairy's eyebrows. Countless terrifying demon toxins encountered this layer of golden light of merit, and in the pure and peaceful sound of wind chimes, It seemed that most of the filthy black air that filled the sky had been cleared away, and the countless chaotic demonic sounds suddenly stopped, and their voices became much weaker.

The soul-suppressing tower obviously had an effect.

This made Goddess Qingxia nod secretly.

Within the ice crystal, the true form of the inexplicable female fairy was clearly clearer at this time. She felt that the boundless calamity of death had finally opened up with a ray of light, and she also felt a trace of joy. Her eyes were agile, and her voice came out: The magic weapon of merit has always been precious., to be able to borrow this treasure, I think it cost my sister a huge price, Baihua really doesn’t know how to repay her for saving her life!

You and I are sisters, why do this!

After a slight pause, Goddess Qingxia continued: However, seriously speaking, this meritorious instrument was not made by my hands. If you refine this treasure, you will inevitably have to repay it when the time comes. You should think about it!

This is a trivial matter! Within the ice crystal, Baihua Fairy's exquisitely beautiful face smiled, and the black energy on her temples seemed to be dissipating.

These are good causes and good consequences, which are much easier to unravel than bad causes and bad consequences.

After thinking about it, she said again.

In addition, after my reincarnation, my sister can dispose of those collections in Baiyuan!

Sister, there is no need to refuse. Rather than letting these things sit idle and attracting others' covetous attention, it is better to hand them over to my sister, or they may be able to contribute to her success!

Goddess Qingxia's eyes flickered. Fairy Baihua was previously the top female fairy in Yaochi. She was in charge of Baihua and had a large net worth. This move was obviously a reciprocal move.

Goddess Qingxia thought for a while and did not refuse.

Part of Baihua Fairy's collection is indeed of great benefit to her.

And she will also help Baihua Fairy return in the future, and she will need to help even more then.

…

In the Zhang family, something strange happened to Zhang Jian.

After simple identification and teaching, Zhang Jian found that the level of sensing Qi Jin seemed a little different.

Under the scorching sun, the sun is scorching

Zhang Jian stood still, his eyes were bright, and he was recalling the process of sensing Qi in Yun Yuan Health Preservation Sutra in his mind.

According to Zhang Yi's teachings, sensing Qi requires a combination of movement and stillness, constantly adjusting the breathing method, and exercising the internal organs with a certain proportion of exercise methods. Finally, a weak rhythm that resonates with the internal organs and breathing is found, and a bit of Qi in the rhythm is captured. sense of existence.

This is internal refining of Qi.

But something is wrong with him now.

He exhaled and breathed according to the secrets in Yunyuan Health Preservation Sutra.

It felt like my whole body was filled with anger.

There is nothing blunt or obscure about what Zhang Yi said.

Not just gas, but blazing light.

This made Zhang Jian feel different.

Is it because of the fire apricot?

After a slight hesitation, he followed the breathing steps and performed his first real breath.

Chapter 5 Promotion, Refugees

In the rhythm of his breathing, the full light in his body seemed to turn into inner energy.

It was a layer of cool inner energy.

It seems that there is a steady stream of Qi arising from a certain place in the abdomen, and according to Zhang Jian's control, it trickles through the meridians recorded in the Yunyuan Health Sutra.

When you encounter a mountain, you will create a mountain.

Build a bridge over water.

The meridians that were blocked everywhere were completely opened by the flow of cool internal energy.

Tianchi, Yufu, Shenque...

The meridian diagram that had been written down in Zhang Jian's mind appeared three-dimensionally in his mind, but he was greatly surprised.

Zhang Yi mentioned it.

Sensing qi is the first level. After the first point of inner qi emerges, it is considered the beginning. The next step is the water grinding process. According to the secrets of each school, open up the meridians everywhere, and finally form a circulation around the sky. Only when the inner qi forms a circulation can Keep condensing.

Puddles of water.

This is also the destiny skill of an internal martial artist.

This process is a long one.

Many masters of internal training are stuck at this step, unable to penetrate Zhou Tian, and therefore cannot form any obvious combat effectiveness.

This process can take as short as a few years, or as long as it may take decades to complete.

But Zhang Jian felt that with each breath he breathed.

The inner Qi driven by the breathing of hundreds of subtle meridians contained in the Yun Yuan Health Preservation Sutra rolls away, and the inner Qi breaks out from the original strands and now rolls like beads in the body.

The three-dimensional meridians map in the body seemed to be all lit up, producing a strange effect.

At this time, Zhang Jian's eyes faintly seemed to have red fire thunder jumping and shaking.

Every time he exhales and inhales, it is like forcibly extracting some kind of power that is free between heaven and earth. However, some valves in the body have not mastered the method of opening and closing, so they cannot extract it.

But it was also extremely terrifying at this time.

Zhang Lu stood aside, looking directly at Zhang Jian's open eyes at this time, as if he felt a burning heat from his heart. He lowered his head subconsciously in panic, almost suspecting that he was surrounded by fire, burning, and almost fainted.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses. He slowly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was intact.

Zhou Tian was completely penetrated and began to circulate. I didn't expect to break through to the stage of physical strength so quickly!

Zhang Jian felt the mellow inner breath flowing freely in his body, and his eyes shone with wonder.

He raised his hand, and a faint jade light appeared in his eyes, seeing through the mellow inner breath condensed under the flesh and blood.

There are five stages of body training: bone training, tendon conditioning, marrow cleansing, internal organs refining, and master training.

There are also five stages of internal refining, sensing qi, strengthening the body, nourishing the essence, innate, and master.

The two are similar, but martial arts practitioners who take the path of internal refining do not have much combat effectiveness in the Qi sensing stage.

But after reaching a strong body, he began to have some self-preservation power.

The inner Qi of one's own body completes the cycle of circulation, which is the strengthening of the body.

Zhang Jian could clearly feel the surging health-preserving energy in his body at this moment.

This heavy inner breath is constantly circulating in the internal organs, tempering the internal organs, and moisturizing the whole body starting from the internal organs like a spring rain. It is indeed very nourishing.

However, his health-preserving inner breath does not have any attributes, which seems to be insufficient in lethality.

But there is still a clear difference from feeling qi.

During the qi-sensing stage, Zhou Tian was unable to penetrate, that is to say, he was mentally better and physically stronger. Compared to those who were good at physical training, they did not have much power to resist.

People who practice martial arts in the physical growth stage have gradually manifested their own magical powers. As they continue to nourish their internal organs with internal breath, their internal organs will become stronger, their hands and feet will be light and strong, their ears and eyes will be clear, their internal breath will circulate, and their breath will be longer.

But it is still in the Yangyuan stage that the lethality can be concretely formed.

Zhang Jian's eyes revealed a strong light.

The Qi sensing was completed in one day, giving him strong self-confidence.

Next, to strengthen the body, we only need to continuously circulate the inner breath, temper the internal organs, and at the same time open up more large meridians and apertures, and finally strengthen the inner breath to the point where it can break out of the body and form an external Qi force. It worked.

In martial arts, this is actually a process from the inside out, and ultimately the unity of nature and man.

Zhang Jian feels that this process should be quick for him.

Because after eating the fire apricot, he felt as if the fire in the fire apricot penetrated his body. There were not many impurities in his body. The blocked meridians had already been opened. What was missing was that he was familiar with the 'valve' of opening and closing the meridians. process.

One fire apricot has brought me so much benefit. It seems that I have to find a way to go to the clan temple more often and gather wool. No, it is to honor the ancestors!

Zhang Jian's heart is full of enthusiasm.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jian went to see his old man again.

Father, I heard that there has been a severe drought around Fengyang County for several months, and there are already refugees coming to Fengxi. I want to set up porridge shacks outside the city to help the people, and do my little bit.

Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Jian in front of him. Although it was a little strange, he still nodded.

The Zhang family is one of the largest families in the local area, and they have more than ten caravans in their hands. Needless to say, the family's financial situation is not a big deal, so setting up a porridge shed is not a big deal.

Well, my father will ask the butler to do this! You don't have to go!

Recently, there have been refugees gathering around Fengxi County to become bandits. Your fourth uncle is suppressing the bandits. It is not safe! If you go out, remember to take your servants and villagers with you.

Zhang Jian nodded when he heard this. Today's world is not a prosperous one. After several touching changes in power, Daqian's national power has begun to decline.

There are many bandits from all directions.

Zhang Jian would naturally not be careless.

Zhang Yi looked at the eldest son in front of him with some satisfaction. The eldest son was smart and had achieved fame early. What was even more rare was that he had a heart of awe. He was indeed an excellent heir.

Putting down the account book in his hand, he looked more concerned and said:

I heard that you recently started practicing martial arts with your righteous uncle? Practicing martial arts is a good thing, especially in this world, but you must not force it. If it is not possible, you must know the choice!

In today's world, the imperial examination is the right path. No matter how powerful a warrior's personal power is, it is ultimately limited. The world is too vast and there are too many unknown things. You can see that I, the officials and civil servants, can always occupy the mainstream. You will know that reason!

Zhang Jian nodded when he heard this, but he was thoughtful.

With the Zhang family helping to set up porridge shacks to help refugees from all over the world, Zhang Jian immediately focused again on training his inner breath.

He was still making rapid progress at this step. In only about three days, he felt that his inner breath was full, and his inner and outer dimensions were perfect. He was just a little short of breaking through the bottleneck of his inner breath and releasing his energy.

But at this point, Yunyuan Health Preservation Sutra has reached its limit, and there will be no follow-up.

Eunuch?

Zhang Jian carefully flipped through the Yunyuan Health Preservation Sutra and found that there was indeed no way to break through.

The internal refining method in this book is indeed a way to maintain health...

Chapter 6 Heroes

Yunyuan Health Preservation Sutra was originally supposed to be just a book focusing on the basics of internal training.

Zhang Jian thought about continuing to go to Zhang Yi's study to enjoy the autumn breeze.

He had noticed before that there were many secret records of internal refining in Zhang Yi's study, including many exquisite methods.

Of course, Zhang Jian is not in a hurry to break through directly. His foundation in the inner refining method is still relatively weak.

But this is a good excuse to take this opportunity to ask Zhang Yi.

…

During this period, Zhang Jian was not idle. He made a special trip to the paper-making shop and bought back a large number of cinnabar ingots to offer sacrifices in the clan temple. However, this time he only received a small cup of golden luck in return.

Obviously, the 'ancestor' on the head is also the one who does not let go of hawks when he sees rabbits, and wool is not good for mattresses.

Zhang Jian had some ideas in his mind. Afterwards, he found Zhang Yi again and handed Zhang Yi a made picture of the keel waterwheel.

Ayu, this thing is...?

Ayu is Zhang Jian’s nickname.

Zhang Jian did not get the crown, and Zhang Yi was still called by his nickname most of the time. This also shows how much Zhang Yi valued his eldest son.

This is a picture of a large waterwheel that the child found from an ancient book. This waterwheel can optimize the simple waterwheels currently in Fengxi County. It can draw water directly from the river to irrigate fertile fields and resist drought. My father can verify it with the craftsmen of the clan. One or two, if it can have some effect, even if it can save some tribesmen and people, that would be great!

Zhang Jian looked serious.

Naturally, this large waterwheel was not found in any ancient book, but an old object that had been gradually phased out in his hometown in his memory. However, it still has a certain degree of 'advancedness' here, which can reduce labor costs and improve efficiency.

In times of severe drought, it should be able to play a certain role.

Of course, he did not have nothing to gain by dedicating this large water tanker at this time. Firstly, it could enhance the Zhang family's influence around Fengxi County, and secondly, it could also enhance his own influence.

He had already guessed that as his influence increased, the more feedback he would get from worshiping his ancestors.

But being able to save the common people and the elders around me is even more what I wish for.

Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Jian in surprise. He waved to the housekeeper Zhang Hu and ordered people to go for the test.

That Zhang Hu is the father of Zhang Lu, the boy beside Zhang Jian.

Zhang Yi had a smile on his face at this moment: Ayu, if this happens, your merits will be immeasurable!

Zhang Jian smiled and said: Father, this matter is due to my Zhang family's immeasurable merit!

Zhang Yi remained calm, just stroking his beard slightly.

Zhang Jian immediately stood up and left. He glanced at Zhang Yi. He could clearly see what his father was thinking.

Zhang Yi can be said to have a heroic heart.

When it comes to Zhang Yi's generation, the Zhang family is indeed full of outstanding people. They are already local leaders in Fengxi, and they also have considerable influence in Fengyang County.

It was not surprising that Zhang Yi had his thoughts in mind at the first signs of troubled times.

Other thoughts flashed through Zhang Jian's mind. At this time, he could only say that he had read too few previous life books. He knew many things but didn't know why. Otherwise, if used properly, it would be enough to become a good medicine for the Zhang family's solid foundation.

However, there are still a few things in his mind that can help the Zhang family. One is the method of purifying salt, and the other is the method of secondary quenching of swords.

This is knowledge accidentally memorized from some entertainment channels, which may be helpful to the expansion of the Zhang family.

After all, a hero needs a huge family fortune to support his rise.

Soon after, Zhang Yi received the news from Zhang Hu.

Master, I asked several masters in the workshop to check it carefully, and I can almost confirm that the big waterwheel is indeed feasible!

Although it has some limitations and may not be able to irrigate too much fertile land, it can also alleviate some of the drought!

Zhang Hu's face was a little excited.

There is a severe drought around Fengyang County, and Fengxi is bounded by the surrounding counties and cities, so it will inevitably be affected.

The appearance of this improved large-tube waterwheel at this time can inspire people. In particular, it will greatly enhance the cohesion of the Zhang family. Doesn't it mean that the sky is looking down on the Zhang family.

It can be said that God has blessed the Zhang family with auspiciousness.

Otherwise, such a drought-fighting 'sharp weapon' would not have appeared in the Zhang family at this time!

Then what are you waiting for? Let the masters in the workshop put it into production immediately. Once this product is produced, it can be put into Fengxi County and can be leased to the local people at a large area at a low price!

Zhang Yi also realized the significance of the appearance of the waterwheel to the Zhang family.

Zhang Hu heard this and said hurriedly: Sir, if this is the case, the county magistrate will inevitably think too much about it?

Zhang Yi frowned.

The county magistrate Yang Qingnai was the eyes and ears of the imperial court. He was a smart and capable man with a vicious mind and was very difficult to deal with.

He has always been extremely wary of local heroes. He looks kind-hearted on the outside, but is actually very tough.

The local big names in Fengxi secretly call him the Smiling Tiger.

Zhang Yi sneered when he heard this: Yang Qing is just trying to gain fame and reputation. He is honest and honest on the surface, but in reality he is greedy and shameless. He has already been eyeing our wealth for a long time. However, due to the influence of local wealthy families such as mine, he dare not take any action. This person is indeed difficult to deal with.!"

If it were in the past, he would definitely not sit back and watch, and would definitely interfere, but now the wave of refugees from outside Fengxi County is coming, and he still needs me and other local wealthy people to help him stabilize the overall situation. He doesn't dare to mess around!

In addition, write a book and send this map to your sixth brother immediately, so that he can present it to the court. It is so auspicious that no one can take advantage of Yang Qing!

Zhang Yi sneered.

It’s not that the Zhang family doesn’t have a mouthpiece.

Among the six Zhang brothers, in addition to the second and fifth brothers who died young, there are four other brothers, the eldest brother Zhang Yi, the third brother Zhang Yun, the fourth brother Zhang Kui and the sixth brother Zhang Duan.

Zhang Duanai was a Jinshi of the imperial dynasty, and he was now appointed as a magistrate of a state. He was responsible for the military affairs of a state and county, and he held a high position of power.

Zhang Yi still felt a little regretful. If possible, he would prefer to let Zhang Jian use this 'auspiciousness' to establish his reputation. This would definitely be helpful for the examination of the Ministry of Rites.

However, as the head of the family, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yi decided to let Zhang Duan enjoy this power exclusively.

This is of greater benefit to Zhang Duan and even the entire Zhang family.

As the head of the Zhang family, he has to weigh the pros and cons of some things.

But for Zhang Jian, he will naturally make some corresponding compensation.

After hearing this, Zhang Hu was sincerely convinced and secretly admired him.

Being able to endure the love for his son and gift such great achievements to his brothers shows Zhang Yi's magnanimity.

Zhang Hu became more and more eager.

These are troubled times, perhaps under the leadership of Zhang Yi, the Zhang family can finally transcend the gap between ordinary local aristocrats and aristocratic families, princes and princes!

…

On the other side, after hanging out in Zhang Yi's study for a while, I gained something.

The scattered inner energy in the various orifices around Zhang Jian was finally completely condensed into one stream.

This inner breath is like an arm directing it.

It seems that he can break through the shackles of his own Great Zhoutian at any time and break out of his body.

It's a pity that although the Yunyuan Health Sutra creates a peaceful and pure inner breath, it still lacks a bit of grandeur and breadth!

At this time, in the study room, Zhang Jian put down an ancient book in his hand, with some hesitation in his expression.

He looked at the many ancient books on the bookshelf.

There are many usable internal refining methods in these ancient books.

He actually still has a choice.

Chapter 7 The Correct Way to Use Qi Luck

Zhang Jian glanced at the rows of tall bookshelves.

Zhang Yi opened the study to him without restricting or prohibiting him from accessing other ancient books.

But Zhang Jian's eyes suddenly fell in the direction of the darkroom.

For some reason, he remembered the dozen or so strange rune paintings in the darkroom.

At first glance, he felt a vague sense of strangeness.

Zhang Jian secretly thought to himself that he must go in again if he has the chance.

His curiosity was still aroused.

Everyone has this kind of curiosity.

But Zhang Jian suppressed it.

Since Zhang Yi trusted him and allowed him to go to and from the study, a private place, he naturally would not pry into Zhang Yi's secret without knowing the importance.

Everyone has secrets.

Especially some people don't like people prying into their secrets.

Although the health-preserving power of the Yunyuan Health-preserving Sutra is very strange, it is a bit less overbearing and lacks the next stage of practice. I still have to find a new internal practice method to break through!

His eyes were mainly on the inner refining method on the bookshelf.

But he didn't get up and move.

He had already thumbed through it.

There are only a few internal refining classics on the bookshelf, most of which are incomplete.

It's not even as good as Yunyuan Health Preservation Sutra.

Zhang Jian looked at these vast books and could only try to find them on his own, but it was difficult for him to tell Zhang Yiming about this.

But Zhang Jian had other ideas.

That was the cup of golden luck that I gathered from the wool at the clan temple a few days ago when worshiping my ancestors.

Zhang Jian thought of the cup of golden luck given by his ancestors.

That golden luck has always been with him.

He can visualize it just by imagining it with his mind.

In his eyes, that cup of golden luck appeared at this moment.

The method of use is very simple, just make a wish on this cup of golden luck.

This kind of luck can often achieve some small wishes and take advantage of the situation.

For example, in his first college examination, he had a certain chance of being dismissed. For example, if the prefect of the county was in a bad mood when reading the papers, or he felt depressed after reading the newspaper, he might be dismissed, but after using the golden energy, he would be dismissed. After luck, there is a certain chance to avoid this situation.

Of course, if you turn in a blank, even if you use this cup of luck, it will be difficult to reverse the situation, but it will only give you a glimmer of hope.

This is the conclusion reached by Zhang Jian through many experiments.

At this time, if you use that cup of luck to make a wish, you may be able to create opportunities.

Especially Zhang Yi was kind to him.

Zhang Jian already made a decision in his mind.

Make a wish, hoping to find an internal practice method suitable for breaking through within half a month!

When Zhang Jian made a wish, he listed each of the most important keywords separately.

The first is to be suitable, the second is to break through the realm, and the third is to practice internal exercises.

As for half a month.

Zhang Jian hopes to increase this chance.

After all, the day is too tight.

After he made a wish, he immediately saw the cup of golden luck above his head evaporating at a speed visible to the naked eye and dispersing into the world.

After this cup of golden luck dissipated, Zhang Jian immediately devoted his energy to the rows of bookshelves and began to search.

dark room

Zhang Yi was playing with a red bead in his hand.

This is a rare item he got a few days ago after killing a thief who jumped into Zhang's
