Chapter 14: Longshan Taoist Exits
Time passes slowly.

Mingwu Pavilion.

Taoist Longshan slowly opened his eyes and sighed:
“The realm of heaven and man is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven. I have been in the Yuandan realm for more than ten years, but I am still a little short of the maturity to increase my divine will and resonate with the heaven and earth.”

He smiled slightly.

More than a month ago, after teaching Ning Qi, he was quite stimulated and had a slight sense of crisis. He simply took advantage of this momentum to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop, but he did not expect that he still failed. The lack of foundation still needs time to hone.

But he was not discouraged.

The lifespan of a person in the Heavenly Man Realm is up to eight hundred years. A hundred years is very young for a person in the Heavenly Man Realm. Most of the Heavenly Man Realm masters achieve success at around two hundred years old. Some even finally break through at the end of their four hundred year lifespan.

The Taoist priest Longshan is only in his eighties and is very young.

He felt that he had been a little impatient these days, perhaps affected by the increasingly chaotic situation in the Great Yan Dynasty.

He shook his head, realizing that this was wrong.

Although he did not achieve a breakthrough during this retreat, he did gain something. At least it helped him to get his mind right.

"It's been more than a month. I wonder how Xiaojiu is doing now? Xiaojiu has just started martial arts. I am not a good enough master for him."

Taoist Longshan was a little annoyed.

Thinking of the scene of teaching martial arts that day, he couldn't help but smile helplessly. He was indeed shocked at that time, and thought he had found an opportunity to break through, so he hurriedly went into seclusion.

"Xiao Jiu is a rare gem, his talent is far superior to mine. If he is trained well, there is a great hope that he will become a martial saint!"

Taoist Longshan stood up and appeared at the door of the attic as if he had shrunk the earth. This was an extremely advanced body movement. He planned to go to Ning Qi first to take a look and fulfill his responsibility as a teacher. Even the most talented disciple would always have things he didn't understand. He had practiced standing meditation for so many years, and from a high vantage point, there would always be things worth learning for Ning Qi.

He felt that he needed to plan a suitable path for Ning Qi so as not to waste this great talent.

Although the Zhenwu Sect occupied Zhenwu Mountain, they actually only built pavilions on the essential part of the mountainside.

Taoist Longshan and his nine true disciples were in the core area, while the residences of the other inner and outer disciples were arranged outward in order.

With Taoist Longshan's speed, it wouldn't take much time to reach the courtyard where Ning Qi was.

He had a smile on his face, his hands behind his back, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, and he looked like an immortal.

He had already sensed the breath of life in the distance.

But suddenly, his expression changed.

"Yan!"

A faint dragon roar sounded from the courtyard in front, with a hint of majesty.

"This is……"

Taoist Longshan's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he appeared silently outside the courtyard. What he saw made him freeze in place.

Only in the courtyard.

The white mist was steaming and rolling continuously, with the occasional roar of a dragon audible inside, as if a young real dragon was soaring and flying.

With Taoist Longshan's eyesight, it was not difficult for him to see that this was not a young real dragon, but his little disciple with terrifying talent.

At this moment, Ning Qi's skin was as crystal clear as jade, but the flesh and blood underneath was faintly red and constantly agitated.

Compared to one month ago.

Ning Qi had grown taller and became much stronger. The most noticeable thing about him was his breath of life, which had become much stronger.

"Flesh Refining Realm?!"

Taoist Longshan's breathing became slightly rapid.

Even though he was a little nervous, the speed was too exaggerated. Although he had expected Ning Qi's cultivation speed to be beyond imagination, he was still shocked. He almost thought he had remembered the time wrong and the retreat was not one month, but longer.

But this was not what shocked him the most.

"This stance... is not the Bi'an stance!" With the realm of Taoist Longshan, he immediately saw the foundation of the Zhenwu Nine Stances in this unfamiliar stance, and could see the shadow of almost every kind of stance.

Just looking at it like this made him feel a little frightened. The domineering level of that kind of body tempering was far beyond the reach of the Nine Postures of Zhenwu.

Just watch slowly.

A flash of lightning suddenly passed through Taoist Longshan's mind, and his whole body began to tremble with excitement.

"This is... the Zhenwu Pillar?!"

His breathing was rapid and his mood was agitated, and the breath-control method that had originally merged with the heaven and earth suddenly began to fluctuate.

Ning Qi almost immediately noticed an extra presence outside the courtyard. He stopped his standing meditation and shouted:

"who is it?!"

When the sharp gaze swept over, Ning Qi was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Master, you've come out of retreat? How come you came here so quietly?"

He had just gone to ask his senior brother yesterday, but he didn't expect that the master would come out of seclusion today.

Taoist Longshan was slightly embarrassed. He originally wanted to secretly observe his young disciple's progress in martial arts so that he could be mentally prepared so that he could teach him later. However, he did not expect to see such an astonishing scene.

He didn't care about anything else.

Appeared in front of Ning Qi in an instant.

He stared at Ning Qi, suppressing his inner excitement and said:

"Xiao Jiu, tell Master, which master taught you the Zhenwu Posture? Is he still in Zhenwu Mountain now? Did he say anything else?"

Taoist Longshan asked again and again.

Ning Qi stood there in a daze.

He hesitated and said:

"Master, what is the Zhenwu Pillar you are talking about?"

"It's the Zhuang Qi you just practiced!"

Ning Qi suddenly realized that he understood something instantly. His previous guess might be somewhat close to the truth. There is indeed a more powerful stance above the Zhenwu Nine Stances, and it seems to be called the Zhenwu Stance?
However, judging from the expression on his master's face, he was afraid that the Zhenwu Pillar was not in the Zhenwu Sect.

He said truthfully:

"Master, this is the True Dragon Posture I created myself, not the True Martial Posture you mentioned."

The words fell.

Taoist Longshan's twitching goat beard froze. He looked at Ning Qi like a sculpture, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

"You said... you created this yourself?"

This is even more outrageous than if someone from the Zhenwu Sect had left behind a legacy for the world to inherit. However, Taoist Longshan knows his disciple well. Although he is young, he is definitely not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.

Ning Qi had already planned to confront Taoist Longshan, but Taoist Longshan just came to him first.

"Master, after you went into seclusion, I learned several other stance exercises from my fellow brothers and sisters. After I learned all nine Zhenwu stance exercises, I always felt that there was something in common among these nine stance exercises. Finally, I had an epiphany and deduced a stance exercise in reverse order..."

Ning Qi explained his ideas and process of creating the True Dragon Pillar.

On one side, he handed over a secret book that had been prepared long ago, which recorded the True Dragon Pillar in detail.

Taoist Longshan finally recovered from his emotional shock. He forced himself to calm down, flipping through the secret book in his hand and listening to his little disciple's explanation, his eyes still full of turmoil.

Of course he knew that there was something in common among the Nine Zhenwu Postures.

But the problem is, knowing it is one thing, but using it to reversely deduce the Zhenwu Posture is as difficult as creating a new peerless Posture Technique!
It’s simply a fantasy!
