I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 430: The Way of the Walker and the Way of the Enlightened
Among these martial arts practitioners, most of them started practicing after adulthood, while a small number of them inherited the skills from their childhood.

In his thirties, those who have cultivated the dark power will naturally become the most capable senior brothers in the gym. However, it may take a lifetime for those who want to reach the threshold of the transformed power.

Moreover, practicing hidden power is somewhat similar to the "Seven Injury Fist". You have to experience it first before you can release it, which is not beneficial to your health.

Therefore, among these thirty people, except for two who have reached the level of Hua Jin, the others, no matter how immortal they look, are also suffering from old injuries. Fortunately, modern medicine is advanced and they can suffer less.

Among these two people, one is Dong Erchuan from Bajiguan, the authentic Baji successor, and he is the one who went to see Wang Dong earlier.

One is Chen Zhenze, who is said to be related to "Chen Zhen". He learned Chen-style Tai Chi and integrated Chen-style Tai Chi with grappling techniques.

As for the "Ma Baoguo, the master of Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi" praised by the yellow-haired man, he is not on the list because he is very popular on the Internet and has returned to China to develop his career due to his old age.

Although the two old martial artists admired the way of immortals and were even more devoted to the art of flying swords, they were still "mortals" after all. They might know something about the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, and learn a little bit of Chinese medicine and traumatology, but they could not recognize the "real people".

Seeing Xu Jia's young face but boasting so much, he couldn't help but murmur, "Could it be that Li Rentai is also using some kind of sleight of hand? That flying sword might actually be some new high-tech thing. Has this place turned into a cult?"

It's not their fault for thinking too much. Cults are rampant in America, so the movies are made more conservatively, and there are many people who wish to become immortals. At this time, the only thing in their minds is the little girl in "Double Pupils", who feels very similar to Xu Jia.

As soon as they thought about it, they saw endless illusions. The image of Xu Jia in front of them changed rapidly, from a young boy to a golden corpse, and then transformed into a zombie ancestor...

This change in their mental state actually frightened them. Some of those with poor concentration even shouted, "Ah?"

Xu Jia said: "If you are afraid, then you are afraid. Calm down and listen to me."

However, he used some of his magical powers and chanted the sound of Tao, which calmed down all the doubts in their hearts and showed his small achievement in cultivation.

Li Rentai can also use these small achievements, which are called "small supernatural powers" in Buddhism. They are abilities that come naturally with practice.

People in all the martial arts schools practice martial arts. Although they may not have blood and qi, they have abundant yang energy. Practicing martial arts is a great way to train one's will. Their essence, energy and spirit are consistent and unwavering. Practicing internal martial arts for a long time can help prolong life. Even if they don't have true qi, they can still feel the warm current flowing in their bodies and know the natural power of the human body.

Hearing Xu Jia's words, Dong Erchuan felt that they were like mountains and flowing water, but not like human beings. He thought to himself, "Is this the unity of man and nature in martial arts legends?" Perhaps Zhang Sanfeng, the living immortal who lived hundreds of years ago, was no more than this.

After Xu Jia pacified them, he injected a Lingbao Taoist talisman into the two masters of Hua Jin. As soon as the talisman entered their bodies, they felt a change like their spirit was sublimated. A lot of knowledge, cognition, and accumulation of martial arts poured into the talisman, and then deduced and changed into a "Lingbao Xingzhe talisman".

This traveler's talisman evolved from the "human immortal talisman".

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong is called "Walker", who practices the way of dual cultivation of sex and life, one movement and one stillness, and the movement corresponds to Sun Wukong, so he has seventy-two transformations and an indestructible body.

Those who sit in meditation, breathe in and out, make elixirs and artifacts are the so-called "enlightened ones".

This Lingbao Practitioner's Talisman is different from the "Lingbao Taoist Soldier Talisman" in the Sanqing Mountain Realm. Although both are biased towards the physical body, the Taoist Soldier Talisman requires uniformity and convergence.

The direction of the Practitioner's Talisman is more about exploration and breakthroughs, and the pursuit of personal mechanisms. It does not need to cooperate with others to form one's own path.

As for why only these two people were given the ordination and not given to others, it can only be said that they had not reached the required threshold and it would be useless even if they were given the ordination.

After teaching the talisman, Xu Jia began to talk about how to cultivate the acquired Qi through martial arts. This is the rule of the swordsman world. The original earth star could not be cultivated directly, but now there is an external object called "spiritual Qi", so it is not so inconvenient. Besides, the human body itself has Qi, so it is unreasonable to cultivate magic power but not acquired Qi.

Soon, under Xu Jia's guidance, the two of them cultivated the first strand of acquired Qi. One person cultivated the Eight Extremes, so it was naturally the acquired Eight Extremes Qi, and the other cultivated Tai Chi, so it was naturally the acquired Tai Chi Qi.

"From now on, the two of you are far superior to those so-called martial arts masters of the Republic of China. I hope you will abandon your sectarianism, teach others, bring forth new ideas, and develop martial arts that are more in line with modern times, such as the combination of martial arts and firearms, the combination of martial arts and Taoism, and teach more masters of Huajin. At the same time, you can also go further in traditional martial arts and cultivate acquired true qi without affecting the honing of strength. When you can cultivate Gangjin and Danjin, it will also be a great way to reach the sky."

Dong Erchuan kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

Chen Zhenze asked, "Do we need to merge all the martial arts schools?"

"That's not necessary. Just join my Tongtian Temple and become an outer sect. You need to practice well and teach your disciples well. After some time, I will need you to go to Dongda to participate in the martial arts conference and spread the name of my Tongtian Temple in the Central Plains."

.........

Another month passed, and Xu Jia personally instructed the disciples of the American Ka Tianguan on their cultivation, presided over the expansion of the Taoist tradition, and the construction of spiritual veins. He also ordered his disciples to find out about the many demons hidden in San Francisco, and strive to destroy them all when they come next time, so that San Francisco can strive to become America's "civilized demon-free city" and "Taoism advanced city".

But before everything was done, there was a call, Xu Jia had stayed in America for too long and had to go back.

After explaining the work to Li Rentai, Xu Jia sat on the altar again. Gradually, the illusion disappeared, leaving the gilded mummy sitting cross-legged, and everything was the same as before.

On Mount Sanqing, Xu Jia woke up quietly and felt the suppression of the will of heaven. He could only "enter and exit the cave, and could not come down to the world at will."

This was a further improvement in Xu Jia's cultivation, and he had almost reached the "ascension standard".

Of course, Xu Jia could ignore this suppression and break free, but he was detached from the will of the world. Every move he made would bring about countless causes and effects, and these causes and effects would fall on himself.

But it doesn't matter. A great desire is a great wish. Xu Jia has never thought about ascending to heaven, and he can't ascend to heaven. If he fails to realize his ideal, the wish he made in the past will backfire.

Looking forward to it, the western part of Jiangnan has been completely governed, and on Poyang Lake, there are already large steam ships, steel ships, and concrete ships.

Construction of various official roads also began. Although due to the lack of oil technology, they were only cement roads, not asphalt roads, but they were still safe enough for pedestrians and vehicles to drive on.

Some railways were gradually built and construction started in many places, mainly in several mining industrial zones. Jiangnan West Road produces copper, silver, gold and a lot of iron ore.

With railways and trains, these supplies can be transported and production can be directly increased.

However, if development was to continue in this way, it would inevitably require cutting through mountains and building roads, and various types of pollution would gradually arise. Xu Jia could see that in addition to the spiritual inspiration, there was also a surge of evil spirits.

However, this evil spirit was actually specially collected. Those people who refined it simply used their own thoughts to combine the evil spirits of mountains and rivers. The evil spirits of mountains and rivers had been almost mined, but this kind of industrial evil spirit emerged. The evil soldiers refined from it were like steel golems, roaring like a train. It was true that technology and Taoism developed together.

At the same time, land reform was completed throughout the western part of Jiangnan, and equal distribution of land was successfully accomplished. Even in the most remote places in the mountains, there were no landlords, and instead there were production teams.

People's enthusiasm for production is very high, and with the initial achievements in chemical industry, simple fertilizer such as urea has also been produced. Once it is produced, it will be expanded at full capacity. Now we maintain a basic supply and run it in parallel with composting.

Large-scale production and industry were being carried out everywhere. Even children of a few years old had to work and earn some wages or work points after finishing their schooling.

Xu Jia implemented a work point and salary system. For doing a job, one could get two kinds of compensation. The wages could be used for consumption, while the work points could be used to exchange for various materials that could not be bought, such as "radios".

That's right, now radios have been invented, and radio broadcasts are also available. The combination of technology and cultivation of immortals, the cultivation of immortals relies on two little ghosts, Duowen and Guangmu, who already know two magic spells, "Thousand Miles of Courtyard Miniature Art" and "Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission".

If these two kinds of magic are combined with technology, it would not be difficult to make a large color TV, let alone a radio.

In addition, Jiangnan West Road absorbed nearly 800,000 disaster victims, many times more than before.

The main reason was that a coup d'état took place in the court of Daning in the north. The young emperor, in collusion with the eunuchs, wanted to strangle the empress dowager to seize power, but was reported and was imprisoned by the empress dowager for several days and starved to death. Unexpectedly, no eunuch or palace maid brought food to the young emperor.

Many of the armies in various places that came to support the emperor, those that established their own separatist regimes, and those that openly declared rebellion, not to mention those who rebelled and occupied the mountains as kings...

All these happened when Xu Jia returned to America. One can only say that the Daning Dynasty has really run out of luck. It has made a big mess of its own making, which is totally disgraceful.

As the country was about to perish, evil spirits arose everywhere. From the victims' accounts, we learned that they could not live in peace during their escape. There were often monsters eating people at night, and occasionally we saw evil spirits abducting young boys and girls.

In comparison, Jiangnan West Road is undoubtedly the "last pure land".

However, with so many disaster victims, even if we continued to reclaim land and increase grain production and ship grain from overseas, it would still not be enough to eat.

However, because of the attacks on Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang, the main route of the Yangtze River into the sea was blocked, and it was impossible to send the victims overseas.

However, it was precisely because of so many disaster victims and free labor that Xu Zhiyuan was able to plan to build a large amount of infrastructure.

There are plans to dig a reservoir, dredge the Poyang River, build the Poyang Dam, build a large canal, dredge the Ganjiang River, and even dig a canal towards the Pearl River, build roads, and lay railways...
