Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 252 Deduction
After leaving Xianyun Hall, Zhao Lin went straight to the main hall on the top of the mountain, passed through a secret door, and entered the underground Zongku.

Important classics, exercises and rare medicinal herbs are stored in the Zongku, and there is a secret escape route in case of crisis.

The important place of the sect is guarded by deacons day and night, and only the head and elders can enter.

"Elder Zhao, please!"

Before Zhao Lin showed his badge, the four deacons guarding the Zongku said respectfully one after another.

In recent years, the development of Xingyun Sect has been going smoothly, the ancestral treasury has been filled, and the pills are all available, most of which are due to Zhao Lin's contribution, so everyone in the sect respects him very much.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhao Lin nodded slightly and stepped in.

Although the Zongku is located underground, its design is very ingenious, with good ventilation and lighting, so you don't feel stuffy after staying for a long time.

Walking into the corridor, there are five stone rooms lined up in a row.

The yearbooks are stored in the third stone room, neatly arranged according to the year from near to far.

The two masters before Lu Yuanxiu were named Chen Tunan and Xu Yuan. Zhao Lin remembered the approximate time when they left the sect, and quickly found two related almanacs.

Go under the long burning lamp and flip through the pages one by one.

After a while, he paused and found the record of the Taoist priest's visit.

"A Taoist priest again!"

Zhao Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the words in the book, thinking: "As I expected, these things are not coincidences!"

It's a pity that the deacon who was in charge of recording thought the matter was not important and just mentioned it briefly. As for the origin of the Taoist priest and what he said to the master, there was no record at all.

"Why did the Taoist come to the door after reaching the master level, and then the master left?"

Zhao Lin muttered to himself, his heart full of doubts.

Then I thought again: "Liang Song is not a master, so how come there are Taoists looking for him?"

Zhao Lin intuitively believed that the two were based on the same reason, but he couldn't figure out why.

And he had a vague feeling that these Taoist priests might not have malicious intentions.

Because whether it is Grandmaster or Liang Song, judging from what they did before they left, they were all voluntary.

"What is so attractive? Is it worth leaving their relatives and friends in their homeland?"

……

Yongning City, Zhen Guogong Mansion.

"Duan Gui, Tao Zhuang, take people to Xuanyue Mountain and invite the Taoist priests there. I want to see them."

Zhao Lin called the two guard leaders and arranged a task for them.

Originally, the Duke of the state could restrain [-] guards from the government according to the regulations, but Zhao Lin felt that it was unnecessary, so he only had [-] guards. He usually patrols the streets and alleys to maintain law and order, but it is rare to use them today.

Duan Gui was the head of the guard, and Tao Zhuang was Zhao Lin's subordinate when he was the chief arrester in Qinghe County, that is, the arrester named Tao Erleng.

Tao Zhuang's mind was weak and he had no one to rely on, so Zhao Lin transferred him to Yanzhou to be Duan Gui's deputy.

Duan Gui lifted his spirits when he heard the words, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Duke."

Tao Er raised his head in a daze and asked, "Boss Zhao, are you looking for Taoist priests to do the magic? My father said before that those things are all lies."

Zhao Lin was speechless and gave Duan Gui a wink.

Duan Gui understood, and hurriedly dragged Tao Erzhuang out of the mansion.

"By the way, invite people here, don't use force."

Zhao Lin warned again.

Thinking silently in my heart, more than 100 years have passed, the original Taoist priest must have passed away. I wonder if there is a successor?Can the Taoist temple still exist?
……

Xuanyue Mountain is located in Yanzhou, only a few hundred miles away from Yongning City. Duan Yu and Tao Erleng led the soldiers and hurried back and forth in less than ten days.

Bringing the news disappointed Zhao Lin.

"Reporting to the Duke, there is no Taoist temple in Xuanyue Mountain. We asked the people in the surrounding villages and towns, and they said that there have never been monks on the mountain."

After Duan Gui finished speaking, Tao Er Leng also added: "There is not even a temple for monks or a nunnery."

Zhao Lin knew in his heart that the Taoist priest named Pu Yuanqing probably made up his background casually, maybe even his name was fake.

With a sigh, he dismissed the two of them.

"It seems that it is impossible to find out the truth. Only if I have cultivated to the Xiantian state, maybe the Taoist priests will come to me."

Next, Zhao Lin sat in the meditation room every day, burying his head in the pile of old papers, and devoted himself to studying martial arts.

It took nearly three months to finally deduce the Body Tempering Technique.

He first followed the general outline of martial arts and combined his own situation to create a kung fu method: condense the six true qi of water, fire, earth, wind, ice, and thunder, and blend them with the blood.

Qi is the king, blood is the minister, the flesh and blood are complementary, and the viscera and meridians make it.

Yi Jin, wash the marrow!
Then run the exercises in the body, only stop at the key breakthroughs, and constantly adjust the formulas of the exercises according to the effect of the exercises, and finally complete it.

In the end, the exercise was run hundreds of times until it was completely consistent with the expected effect before it was finalized.

In fact, although the deduction of the exercises is exhausting, every warrior who has cultivated to the original state is a generation with outstanding talents and high intelligence.

As long as they are willing to work hard, most people can deduce the exercises that can hit the innate realm.

However, there is only one out of a thousand warriors in the Yuan Realm who cultivated to become a master. The real reason lies in their age.

The physical peak of a warrior is at the age of 24 or five. If he can break through to the blood level before that, the peak can last for 20 years, that is, to around 40 years old.

Once the age of 40 is over, even Yuan Realm warriors will begin to decline physically.

Although extremely slow, it is unstoppable.

Because reshaping the physical body requires extremely high physical fitness, every year after the peak, the difficulty of breaking through will increase by one point.

However, there are very few people who can cultivate to the Yuan state before the age of 40, and after another ten years of cultivation to perfection, even if the cultivation method is deduced by then, it is absolutely impossible to break through.

The four masters of the Xingyun Sect in the past are all amazingly talented and brilliant people. They all cultivated to the perfection of the Yuan Realm around the age of 40, and only then broke through to the Xiantian Realm.

Zhao Lin broke through the Blood Realm at the age of 19, and reached the Yuan Realm at the age of 30, which can be said to be unprecedented, so there is no need to worry about age at all.

With everything ready, Zhao Lin decided to attack the Xiantian Realm and see what would happen afterwards.

Before breaking through, he compiled his cultivation experience over the years into a book, and revised the wind, ice, and thunder exercises he created earlier.

The Xingyun Sect didn't have many different types of skills, Zhao Lin thought that if he failed to break through, he could leave something for the sect.

Although the exercise has been deduced thousands of times, it is a deduction after all, and there is no guarantee that there will be no problems when passing the level.

Breaking through the Yuan Realm is not as risky as the Qi and Blood Realm before, and there have been Yuan Realm warriors who died in the past because they failed to pass the pass.

Two days before the customs clearance, which happened to be New Year's Eve, Zhao Lin returned home to have a reunion dinner with his mother and brother's family.

The father in this life was in deteriorating health due to the root cause of his illness in the past. Although he had been taking medicine for recuperation, he was unable to recover after all and passed away two years ago.

After the New Year's Eve, Zhao Lin went back to the sect to discuss the matter with Yang Lin in the inner courtyard.

Lu Chaohuan happened to be there too, playing chess with Yang Lin under the tree in Hongrong Pavilion.

Seeing Zhao Lin approaching, Lu Chaohuan picked up a chess piece and said with a smile, "Guardian Zhao, I heard that you have been bored reading in Xianyun Pavilion, why are you free today?"
