Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 251 Suspicious Clouds
The picture of the Nine Palaces on the wall was drawn by an artist after Zhao Lin dictated the picture of spirit beasts in his mind.

Compared with ten years ago, there is only one more soul of Huoyun Silkworm.

In fact, he has been looking for strange beasts all these years in order to absorb the spirit and improve his cultivation.

But strange beasts are easy to find, but suitable ones are hard to find.

The seven alien beasts in the picture of spirit beasts: bear, wind raccoon, silver-winged bat, smelling mink, ice silkworm, thunder catfish, and gold-eating mouse are already leaders in their respective fields. If they want to "upgrade" further, they basically impossible.

There are only two vacant grids left, and he must choose carefully, so he has yet to make a decision.

Until last year, when Zhao Lin heard that Wei Zi's Raging Flame Sect had a Fire Cloud Silkworm over 100 years old, he started thinking about it.

It happened that Wei Zi had to pay a large amount of rare medicinal herbs to Dayue because of his poor record in recent years, so Zhao Lin proposed to let them "pay off the debt" with Fire Cloud Silkworm.

Although Lie Yanzong was reluctant to give up, in order to keep the last keel tree blood, he could only reluctantly hand over Huoyun Silkworm.

The fire cloud silkworm is a fire-type zerg, Zhao Lin absorbs its spirit, and naturally there is a fire-type true energy in his body, and his cultivation is directly promoted to the perfection of the original state!

Yuan Realm is not divided into three levels like Strength Realm, Qi Realm, and Blood Realm. There are only two states of "Unfulfilled" and "Consummated".

The cultivation process of Yuanjing warriors is to absorb the vitality of the world and replace the original energy in the body.

Originally stepping into the Yuan Realm, it would take at least ten years of hard work if one wanted to cultivate to perfection.

But Zhao Lin won four consecutive martial arts competitions and earned a lot of training resources for himself.

Take the keel tree blood as an example, it is extremely difficult for anyone to get even one drop, but he has hundreds of drops!
With these resources, it only took him three years to reach the perfection of Yuanjing.

Next, he has only one goal: Xiantian Realm!
……

Early the next morning, Zhao Lin left the mansion and went out of the city to Xingyunzong.

Although he is the Duke of the state, he still likes to travel lightly and travel alone.

"Morning Elder Zhao."

"Meet the law enforcement elder..."

Walking into the mountain gate, the disciples on the road stopped to salute respectfully when they met Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin broke through the Yuan Realm at the age of 27 and became the youngest Yuan Realm warrior in Xingyunzong's history.

At that time, the law enforcement elder Fan Wenshu was old, and the head and other elders unanimously elected him to take over his position.

Zhao Lin didn't intend to do this at first, but the elder has the authority to read all the sect's exercises, and can also consult the yearbooks of past dynasties, so he readily agreed.

Not long after, he came to the Xianyun Hall on the top of the mountain, walked through two long corridors, and walked into a meditation room.

The room is spacious and bright, the floor is paved with blue stones, there is a table and a chair under the skylight on the right side of the door, and there are two thick stacks of books on the table, but there is nothing else.

This is Zhao Lin's exclusive retreat, where he usually studies martial arts.

Walking to the table, he skillfully pulled out more than a dozen books, opened them all, and read them in comparison.

These books include classics of exercises, notes of predecessors, yearbooks of past dynasties, and his own cultivation experience...

From the first day he stepped into the Yuan Realm, Zhao Lin planned to break through to the next realm—the Xiantian Realm.

If you want to break through the innate realm, you must deduce the skills.

The human body is as vast as the sea. Although the basic meridians and acupoints are exactly the same, there are also many subtle differences.

For example, the position of the atrium, the shape of the arch of the foot, the length of the meridians, and the "hidden orifices" all over the body.

These subtle differences can be ignored in the three realms of strength, qi, and blood, but when it comes to the innate realm, you can no longer turn a blind eye to them. The exercises must vary from person to person!

This is also why warriors in the Xiantian Realm are called masters. A toddler in Handan can't become a master. He must have the ability to deduce the skills that suit him.

Zhao Lin started to practice martial arts in Xianyun Hall at the age of 19, and after 12 years, he has already developed a solid foundation in this area.

After Yuan Jing was consummated, he began to try to deduce the exercises.

However, it was soon discovered that Yuanjing warriors were already at the limit of what the human body could achieve.

The vitality spreads all over the body, the power of the exercises is multiplied, and the vitality can be separated from the body.

For example, Zhao Lin's practice of splitting the air can truly live up to its name, he can chop out a vitality wind knife, and its power will not decrease within three feet.

Further deduction, there is no progress in the cultivation method, there is only one way to go: reshape the physical body, reborn!

In order to confirm his conjecture, Zhao Lin looked through the notes left by the sect's past masters.

Although other people's exercises cannot be used directly, the general direction of cultivation can still be seen and used for reference.

These notes also confirmed Zhao Lin's conjecture: Yuan Realm is the end of martial arts, and if you want to go further, you must temper your body and body.

When reading the notes, it is inevitable to refer to the almanac of the sect, and Zhao Lin found another problem.

Xingyun sect has been established for 600 years, and there have been four masters in total.

Except for the first grandmaster who spent his later years in Xingyunzong, the other three left the sect around the age of 40, and then disappeared.

"Strange, 40 years old is the prime of life, why did they leave?"

Zhao Lin was puzzled, could it be that there is no way to advance in the sect because of the extreme cold?

Impossible, even if you travel around the world and practice cultivation, you still have to come back.

These three people never returned.

Murdered?

Less likely!It is extremely difficult to kill a Yuan Realm warrior, let alone a Grandmaster.

Zhao Lin couldn't figure it out. He asked the head of the sect and several elders about this question, but he couldn't explain why. After all, it happened hundreds of years ago.

"It's weird, is it possible that after cultivating to the master level, you will enter another world?"

Zhao Lin shook his head and sighed, picked up a Zongmen Yearbook on the case and read it.

The Zongmen Yearbook is written by the Zongmen's executives and deacons, and records the big and small things that happened in the Zongmen, as well as the activities of important figures such as the head and elders.

Since there is more than one author, there may be multiple yearbooks at the same time period. After hundreds of years, the Zongmen's yearbooks have been overwhelming.

Zhao Lin continued to read it for more than a year, but only read less than one-third of it.

Because I am interested in the experience of several masters recently, I borrowed the almanacs of these people before and after they left the sect to look through them, hoping to see if they would find anything.

Turning to one of the pages, a record came into view.

"June 32th, Yanhe [-], Xuanyue Mountain Taoist Pu Yuanqing visited the head..."

Zhao Lin's eyes froze, why did another Taoist appear?

If it was before yesterday, Zhao Lin would definitely ignore this record when he saw it, but since he learned about Liang Song, when he saw it again, he became suspicious!

Lu Yuanxiu is the senior who left the words on the chair in the Lianhuashan courtyard. In the 32nd year of Yanhe, he was already the master of the Xiantian realm and the head of the Xingyun sect.

In the same year, Lu Yuanxiu resigned as head of the sect and traveled the world!
Before Liang Song disappeared, he met Taoist priests, and so did Lu Yuanxiu... Where did these Taoist priests come from?
Zhao Lin stood up abruptly and walked out of the retreat room quickly.
