Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 126 Inside Story
Zhao Lin grinned inwardly, the great sect is really extraordinary.

In the entire Qinghe County, only master Zhu Huaishan and the old head of the Lingshan sect branch are masters of the blood realm, and none of the young and middle generation warriors have trained to the blood realm.

However, Xingyunzong has an inner courtyard, which only recruits disciples who have broken through the blood realm before the age of 25, and the gap between them is simply incalculable.

I just heard Zhu Huaishan continue to say: "There are many disciples in the outer court, and their cultivation levels are also uneven, so the sect has established a dance hall, which is specially used to select the talented and outstanding disciples in the outer court."

"Basically all the disciples in the inner courtyard come from the Dancing Elephant Academy."

The outer courtyard, the dancing elephant courtyard, the inner courtyard...

Zhao Lin roughly understood that the outer court disciples were ordinary disciples, while the inner court were elite disciples, and the Elephant Dance Academy selected young and potential disciples from the outer court to train them to become future inner court disciples.

"Master wants me to enter the Elephant Dance Academy?" Zhao Lin said with a tacit understanding.

"Not bad!"

Zhu Huaishan smiled slightly, and said with a twist of his beard: "The threshold for the Dancing Elephant Academy is extremely high. Apart from the high talent, there are two strict conditions: the age before entering the academy must not exceed twenty, and the cultivation base must be at least the second level of Qi."

"The reason why the teacher wants you to cultivate to the second level of the Qi state before returning to the sect is to hope that you can enter the Dancing Elephant Academy, and you will have a high starting point when you enter the door."

"If you start from the outer courtyard, you will have no one to rely on, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble."

Zhao Lin asked suspiciously, "Master, according to this requirement, I'm still in the first level of energy, so I can't enter the Elephant Dance Academy, right?"

"Not quite."

Zhu Huaishan waved his hand and continued: "Do you still remember when I asked you whether the realm is important or the combat power is important?"

"Yanzhou is located in the frontier, and it has been fighting with nomadic tribes since ancient times. Everyone is brave and good at fighting."

"Because of this reason, Xingyunzong pays great attention to actual combat. If someone can defeat two disciples from the outer courtyard with third-level aura in a row, and the age is not more than 20 years old, he will be eligible to enter the Dancing Elephant Academy."

"I originally thought that your realm was improving too fast, and you must be lacking in actual combat, so I wanted to wait for you to cultivate to the second level of the Qi realm before leaving."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on his face, "Now it seems that I may be worrying too much. Whether it is in the strength realm or the aura realm, your actual combat ability is far superior to that of warriors of the same realm."

"Taking a step back, even if you can't get into the Elephant Dance Academy, you can only stay in the outer courtyard for half a year at most, and the conditions are much better than here."

Zhao Lin was stunned, and then thought of a problem that he was very concerned about.

"Master, what is the realm above the blood realm?"

He knows that there are higher realms above the blood realm, but he has never been ashamed to ask. After all, his previous cultivation base was too low, so asking these questions inevitably seems too high.

Zhu Huaishan laughed and said, "As a teacher, I've actually been waiting for you to ask this question for a long time. It's good to be ambitious. Which martial arts practitioner doesn't want to cultivate to a higher level?"

"The next realm of the blood realm is the Yuan realm."

"When you reach this level, you can cultivate a strong vitality, and your strength is not the same as that of a blood-level warrior."

"How long can Yuan Realm warriors live?"

Zhao Lin hesitated for a moment, and almost asked the question, "Can I live forever?"

That's what he's most concerned about.

He had been thinking about it since his rebirth.

I have a spirit beast map, and it is not difficult to break through the realm with the body transformed by the spirit, but it would be a pity if I only live to be seven or eighty years old.

Zhu Huaishan took a deep look at Zhao Lin, and felt that his apprentice was only practicing martial arts for longevity, so he couldn't help smiling.

"Re-tempering the physical body in Yuanjing will naturally prolong life. As long as there are no mistakes in the practice and proper maintenance, the life span can reach ninety or even a hundred years old."

"And there is another advantage, the skill declines slowly. Although the teacher is at the blood level, compared with the peak cultivation base, there are only two or three tenths left."

"Yuanjing masters can maintain their realm for a long time, and at least [-]% of their cultivation base will remain until the end of their lives!"

Can only live to be a hundred years old...

Zhao Lin was slightly disappointed, and then asked: "Master, is there still a realm above the Yuan realm?"

Zhu Huaishan nodded and said: "The next step is the Xiantian realm, but there are very few people who have achieved this level throughout the ages, and those who can reach this level are called masters."

He paused for a while, and before Zhao Lin asked, he took the initiative to say: "The life span of the master can reach 120 years, how about it?"

"Great!"

Zhao Lin praised in his mouth, but thought in his heart: "It seems that after practicing martial arts to the top, you can only live for these years. I should study carefully how to absorb the spirits of lighthouse jellyfish and sea lobsters."

"Master, are there many exotic beasts in Yanzhou?"

This issue is related to the future development of the spirit animal map, and it is of great significance.

There is such a piece of information in the memory of the spirit beast map: the higher the level of the beast, the stronger the absorption of the spirit.

After more than a year of exploration, Zhao Lin discovered that this is indeed the case.

At present, there are five spirits in the spirit beast picture: bear, leopard, chrysanthemum bat, skylark and scented mink.

Among them, the most obvious effect is strength, whether it is the degree of transformation of the body by the spirit, or the ability to release white mist on a daily basis, it must be stronger!
When absorbing the spirit of the skylark, he tried to transform his own bones, but was quickly suppressed by the bear and the leopard. This is the difference between the strength of the spirit.

Zhao Lin also found that some of his previous understandings might be wrong, for example, the inability to absorb the spirits of scorpions and spiders was due to the structure of the body.

Because he recently tested it with fleas and grasshoppers, and the spirits were also not absorbed.

The specialty of these two kinds of bugs is bouncing. It is said that there is no need to add organs, as long as they have legs.

But the flea's spirit is so thin and small that it is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, and the spirit beast picture has no response at all.

The spirit of the grasshopper was slightly better, barely taking shape, and the spirit beast picture trembled extremely slightly.

This shows that the spirit beast map cannot absorb the spirits of the two, because the spirits are too weak to transform the body.

Then think further, if there is a mutated grasshopper, or Zerg, can it absorb its spirit?
Zhao Lin is self-aware that there are so many geniuses in the Xingyun Sect, and it is impossible for him to catch up with him by studying hard and practicing alone, and he has to rely on the spirit beast map.

Now five of the nine grids of the spirit beast map have been used. In addition to absorbing new souls, it is also necessary to consider "upgrading" the existing spirits. It is necessary to find new beasts.

There are strange beasts in Baitou Mountain, but there are not many kinds, and many specialties are not suitable for me, such as the iron lizard that can change color, and the nine-ringed snake that can sense thermal effects.

There is a Yanyun Mountain in Yanzhou, which is a rare majestic mountain in the world. It stretches for thousands of miles. To be precise, it should be called the Yanyun Mountain Range. Baitou Mountain is just its aftermath.

Zhu Huaishan didn't expect Zhao Lin to ask this question, thought he was just curious, didn't think too much about it, and said, "That's natural, Yanyun Mountain is beautiful, alienated birds and beasts are not necessarily rarer than ordinary beasts."

"Xingyunzong also specially compiled an album to record these strange beasts."

"Is there an album?" Zhao Lin's heart skipped a beat.

"Why, you still want to play the idea of ​​​​a strange beast?"

Zhu Huaishan glanced at him, and said in an admonishing tone: "Although the meat of alien animals is poisonous, the internal organs of some alien animals are the best choice for martial arts prescriptions, and they cannot be hunted and killed at will."
