I am cultivating both immortality and martial arts

Chapter 9 The First Practice of "The Secret of Longevity"

After walking around outside, Lu Xian went back to his room to practice in seclusion.

On the bluestone table, a scripture was spread out, and it was "The Secret of Longevity". After reading the whole chapter carefully again, Lu Xian thought he was fully prepared.

He is not like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling who stumbled into the door by mistake, but after reading the whole article, combined with pictures and texts, he recited the Xuanjing silently, began to visualize himself, and meditated quietly.

The entire text of "The Secret of Longevity" is mysterious and mysterious, and there is no specific method of cultivation, but Lu Xian already has the successful experience of his predecessors, but he can find a way out.

Practitioners can start to practice according to a certain picture, and then start to practice other images one by one according to the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, until the five elements are perfect, and finally practice the yin and yang dual pictures to be considered complete.

Lu Xian cleared his mind and decided to start with the image of wood. This picture is a sitting picture, with densely packed arrow points on it, running through the whole body, like a big tree growing in the human body.

True Qi circulated endlessly according to the direction of the arrow, and the acupoints in the body were opened one by one. The effect of this "Longevity Formula" in the spiritual environment of the world of cultivating immortals is even more astonishing.

Soon, Lu Xian forgot both things and me, and entered a strange state where he seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, and he was about to wake up. In his sea of ​​consciousness, there emerged the image of a giant tree that looked like an ancient building tree, illusory In the faint, the spirit is fixed at an indescribable level.

What surprised Lu Xian even more was that the surrounding aura swarmed in at an astonishing speed, and he didn't need to absorb it at all, but actively poured it into his body.

This feeling was like the first rain on the long-dried land, and like being soaked in the spring water full of life, which made Lu Xian almost groan in comfort.

Time passed by in a blink of an eye, and the night passed in a blink of an eye. Lu Xian woke up from the state of not knowing the flow of time, and couldn't help stretching.

Fresh air circulated all over the body, and a burst of vitality came out through the body.

At the same time, a real energy different from spiritual power circulated in the dantian energy veins. Although this power was not of high grade, it was transformed by Lu Xian's own energy, and it was not limited by the amount of spiritual energy.

In addition, Lu Xian suddenly discovered that the cultivation base that had regressed to the second level of Qi training had actually recovered to the third level of Qi training, and it was even only a small difference from the fourth level of Qi training in the middle stage.

He couldn't help but think of the scene where the spiritual energy swarmed in just now. This was a feeling he had never experienced before. The reason why the five spiritual roots were called pseudo-spiritual roots was because their efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy was far lower than that of monks with better qualifications.

Could it be that practicing the "Secret of Longevity" also has the effect of improving aptitude and speeding up the absorption of spiritual energy?

Do whatever you want, Lu Xian immediately started to run the "Qingmu Jue", and felt that the speed of the small hole flooding in the original practice was much faster, as if the diameter of the hole suddenly increased by a circle.

The situation just now was not an illusion. Lu Xian felt it carefully for a while, and finally confirmed the result.

There is such an improvement in just one picture, if it is completely cultivated and perfected, can it go further.

Lu Xian was eager to verify this point, so he dug out another picture from "The Secret of Longevity", and began to try to practice according to the picture.

But after a while, Lu Xian chose to give up, probably because as soon as he summoned the longevity qi, he suddenly felt the qi and blood surging, the zhenqi was disordered, and there was a faint risk of going crazy.

"According to the book, you need to practice the previous picture until you can't make progress before you can practice the next picture again. It seems that you need to follow the steps step by step and don't rush it."

"It's a pity that with my current aptitude, it's not enough to improve just one picture, not to mention geniuses like Tianlinggen and Dilinggen, even Miscellaneous Linggen is much inferior."

Now that he has come to this prosperous age of immortality, Lu Xian is absolutely unwilling to stop at mere qi training. With such an opportunity, he naturally wants to fight for a long life and a long-term vision.

"Those two boys seem to have mastered the two pictures of water and fire, maybe they can learn from them."

For the next period of time, Lu Xian stayed in the sect and practiced bitterly. During this period, he showed up several times, and once he really couldn't get away, he had a drink with the neighbor's Senior Brother Yan.

What's worth mentioning is that he suddenly found that his drinking capacity has improved a lot. It should be known that although the wine brewed by Senior Brother Yan can't be regarded as real spiritual wine, it is strong enough to overwhelm ordinary monks.

"Refining and transforming qi is really good, but I don't know whether it is stronger or weaker than the physical training in this world." Knowing that this is the change brought about by "Longevity", Lu Xian is even more eager to go there world.

After drinking and eating, Lu Xian released the news to go out by himself, but actually sneaked back to the residence, closed the door tightly, and chose to travel again.

……

Great Sui world
Lu Xian pushed open the door, and bright light came in from outside.

"Master." The servants at home learned of the movement in the inner wing room, and after receiving the news of Lu Xian's return, Uncle Fu rushed over immediately.

"How is everything at home?" Lu Xian asked calmly after wiping his hands with the towel handed over by Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu hurriedly replied: "Go back to the master, everything is fine at home, but some time ago, the general manager's mansion sent someone to deliver a message, please come to the mansion to explain."

"General Manager's Mansion? Have we contacted there?"

Uncle Fu thought for a while and replied: "My lord doesn't know something. Many officers and soldiers inspected our shop before, saying that the business of the shop disturbed the nobles in the city. Afterwards, the old slave sent a message to the city guard, and it didn't take long for the general manager's mansion to Contacted the government."

"Oh?" Lu Xian glanced at Uncle Fu, "Master, I have always sought stability. I am not a pedantic person. Have you taken care of everything that needs to be done?"

Uncle Fu had a bitter look on his face, "The relevant officials in the city have given away all the money that should be sent according to the master's instructions, but the reply from the other side is that the master is rich and should share more of the court's worries."

When Lu Xian heard this, he sneered suddenly. It seemed that he had exposed his wealth some time ago, and some ghosts and monsters came to him after smelling the fishy smell.

Some secular officials in the area were too lazy to talk to each other, but they didn't expect to deceive themselves. It seems that they want to let them see what is different from ordinary people.

"Oh! Since that's the case, I think I have to go there." Lu Xian ordered lightly, and then walked towards the training ground.

Trivial matters are not worth his mind, it is better to practice more martial arts if you have this kind of kung fu.

Ever since he started cultivating immortals and practicing martial arts, Lu Xian has a feeling of being addicted to it. Whenever he has free time, he practices martial arts and Qi. Maybe this is because he does not forget his original intention!
Two days later, the general manager's mansion sent someone to send an invitation card, saying that a banquet will be held in the mansion, and Lu Xian will be invited to the mansion for a banquet.

A few days later, on this day, Lu Xian was wearing a silk dress and a sword bought at a high price on his waist, and went to the general manager's mansion by car.

Along the way, there were many cars and horses, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. Passing by a market, there were stalls of all sizes on both sides, and people came and went very lively.

From ancient times to the present, Yangzhou City has always been economically prosperous, and most of the people live in affluent and wealthy families, which also creates a prosperous scene here.

However, under such prosperity, there are beggars with ragged clothes and starvation. These people have fled from other places and become beggars because of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Natural disasters are nothing but droughts, floods, earthquakes and locust disasters, which have not been uncommon since ancient times. Although they are difficult, they are not completely unbearable. This is the case with soldiers passing like grates.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, with Turks staring at it outside, and rebellion inside.

These people lost their land and could only become refugees. Some simply started a bandit business, some joined the rebel army to start a rebellion, and more fled to the surrounding wealthy cities to survive.

However, when there are more people from outside, it is more likely to cause a mixed situation. Lu Xian sat in the carriage to check with his spiritual sense, but found some abnormalities.

"Hey! These beggars are all muscular under their tattered clothes. They seem to be deliberately or unintentionally avoiding the route of official patrols. I'm afraid they sneaked into the city deliberately to wait for an opportunity."

This group of people is most likely the enemy of the government. This time sneaking into the city may have other demands, but this is not Lu Xian's business, so it is completely ignored.
