Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 125: The finishing touch, the change of skills

"Only when you have the vitality of immortality can you be called an immortal. When the universe enters your body, the way of Taoism will come naturally."

Does it feel strange?

Have not heard?
It's right that you haven't heard of it.

Because it was written by Li Rui himself.

He created his own "Changchun Kung Fu". Although it was derived from the White Ape with a Sword, he had to take every step by himself afterwards.

It's hard.

But the benefits are also huge.

It fits me perfectly and there is almost no stagnation. Although the pace of progress will slow down, every extra step I take will be extremely solid.

“Only by laying a solid foundation can we go further.”

I heard from Han Qin.

Some talented disciples of Huaqing Sect deliberately suppress their own realms, and temper themselves to the extreme in each realm before breaking through to the next realm.

It is like this in every situation.

There is a good example around us - Jiang Yan.

As Jiang Linxian's only daughter, this girl has all the necessary skills and elixirs.

Fifteen or sixteen years old, eighth rank.

It's amazing, but it's not comparable to the young dragons in the world. Even in the Huaqing Sect, there are quite a few who have reached the eighth rank at this age.

Is Jiang Yan too untalented?
Or maybe not working hard enough?
neither.

Jiang Linxian did it on purpose. His requirement for Jiang Yan was not just a seventh-grade or sixth-grade one, but something higher.

Want to climb higher.

We must lay a solid foundation.

It’s the same principle as Li Rui building skyscrapers in his previous life.

Self-realized exercises.

The Xuanqing Qi in the body also gradually changed as the exercises were practiced. Although it was weak, Li Rui could feel it.

The most intuitive manifestation.

Even in the Dantian, the dragon shape wrapped around the chaotic round bead was more vivid than before, as if it was about to fly away with the wind.

Observe carefully.

You can also see that there are two black spots above the dragon's eyes.

“The finishing touch.”

"In ancient times, there were painters who always painted dragons without drawing their eyes. They said: 'Painting the eyes of a dragon brings the dragon back to life'!"

The dragon's eyes are the source of its vitality.

The most important part.

Li Rui is looking forward to seeing what miraculous changes the true qi cultivated through Changchun Gong will bring.

he does not know.

Maybe no one in this world knows.

This is the drawback of self-created martial arts. There are no fellow practitioners to learn from each other. Perhaps this will only be possible after Changchun Gong is passed down to future generations.

Finished practicing.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Li Rui opened the door early and washed his face.

Suddenly.

There was a crackling sound of firecrackers in the distance.

He was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips slightly: "The end of the year is approaching."

There were also rumors that the Nian monster existed in the State of Yu, so they used firecrackers to scare the monster away. Now there is still some time before the end of the year, and it is obvious that some playful child lit firecrackers in advance.

After the New Year, in a few months, he will be seventy-two years old.

But he was getting further and further away from the end of his lifespan.

An ordinary seventh-grade cultivator can live to 150 years old. He practices Changchun Gong, so his life span is estimated to be even longer, to 170 years old.

"So, I am also a young man of forty?"

Li Rui smiled faintly.

After he turned sixty, he no longer liked celebrating the New Year, because with every year that passed, he was one step closer to death.

It doesn't matter now.

Are you not afraid of death?
No.

I don’t have to die for the time being, but I’m still afraid of death.

"Lao Li, come and eat dumplings."

Yang Yong saw Li Rui walking out of the room and greeted him happily.

Li Rui was stunned. He saw Yang Yong and Wang Zhao getting up early as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.

Although the two of them had developed the habit of getting up early when they were at the Zhu family, they had never gotten up so early.

While slurping the scallion noodles with three big slices of meat.

Yang Yong said vaguely: "If you don't pay attention to the New Year, your luck will not be good for the whole year."

"Don't worry about New Year's Day this year. Xiaozhao and I will take care of it."

He fled from the north and became a guard for the Zhu family in Qinghe, so he kept the habit of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

The Yu State called the end of the year "New Year's Day".

The calendar of the Yu State was established by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.

The calendar used is not the Gregorian calendar, but a combined lunar and solar calendar.

That is to say, there are twelve months in a common year, six long months of thirty days each, and six short months of twenty-nine days each, for a total of 354 days in a year. The first day of each year is New Year's Day.

So New Year’s Day is what this world calls the Spring Festival.

Of course, the word "Chinese New Year" is also commonly used among the people.

Yang Yong is ten years younger than Li Rui, but he is not young either. The old man attaches great importance to the Chinese New Year.

When I was at Zhu's house.

He often asked Li Rui to secretly use the money he saved to improve his meals. At that time, he also said: "New Year, New Year, of course we have to pray for good luck, otherwise after the New Year, if we still look poor, the God of Wealth will despise us and we will definitely have no fortune."

Now people start buying New Year's goods early and are busy for a long time.

Li Rui smiled faintly: "It's up to you."

Finished eating noodles.

Li Rui went straight to the armory.

When he stepped through the door, he saw that Liang He had already cleaned the armory.

"Master, good morning!"

Liang He looked at Li Rui and greeted him with a smile.

Li Rui looked Liang He up and down and asked, "Are you close to a breakthrough?"

Liang He was shocked.

He originally wanted to break through quietly and give Li Rui a surprise, but he didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.

Somewhat frustrated: "Yes, Master."

Although he came to the armory and became a soldier of An Ning Wei, he still liked to call Li Rui "Hall Master", and Li Rui had no intention of correcting him.

Li Rui chuckled: "Since you are about to break through, you can use this bone-building pill first."

talking.

He took out a small jade bottle from his arms and threw it to Liang He.

Liang He was stunned, and hurriedly caught the small jade bottle, his heart warmed: "Thank you, Master."

The Bone Strengthening Pill is a genuine eighth-grade elixir that costs a full five hundred taels of silver.

This is a great favor!
Seeing that Liang He was so moved, Li Rui laughed and scolded, "What a shame. You've been calling me hall master for so long, I can't let you call me that for nothing."

"I will definitely not let the Hall Master down!"

Liang He was about to express his gratitude.

Li Rui waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Friendship is friendship. One thing is one thing, and the bone-building pill still needs to be returned."

"."

Liang He's face flushed, and he finally managed to utter, "Master, I will pay it back."

Li Rui then walked into the room leisurely.

Why not just give Liang He a bone-building pill? Can't afford it?
of course not.

Considering Li Rui's current wealth, giving him an eighth-grade elixir is really nothing.

But giving it away for free will often only harm one person.

Some things are obtained too easily, so we don’t know how to cherish them. When we are in financial difficulties again in the future, we will inevitably worry about losing them.

Being too attached to external things will shake your will.

Therefore, many large families will also formulate strict rules to prevent their members from losing their fighting spirit because they gain things too easily.

If you want it, you have to fight for it.

Liang He is still young and needs to hone his mind more. He can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor every day.

"It's just right to leave this kind of thing to an old man like me."

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

Just as he was about to open the "Donghua Daojie" that he had not finished reading yesterday, a familiar voice sounded outside the door:

"Senior Li, junior Han Qin is here to visit you."
