Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 105: Strength Improvement, Sword Carrying Man, Corpse Raiser (Two Chapters in One, Please Subscribe)
Chen Yushu wants to study!
He hadn't been to school for several days in a row, and he felt inexplicably guilty.

Of course, the most important thing is that he knows very well how much reading helps him.

It’s true that reading can make you stronger!

Reading: Enlightenment (485/800)

After taking a look at the attribute panel, if the progress is improved by 50 to 60 points a day, it will take about eight days to upgrade again.

Chen Yushu calculated in his mind and successfully entered the Wenchang Pavilion of the academy. He picked up a few books and started reading.

Reading +1
Feeling that his reading experience had been improved, Chen Yushu felt happier and read faster.

One eye and ten lines.

Basically, a page of a book can be turned over in two or three breaths, and this cycle can be repeated. Basically, a book, even a thick one, can be finished in one or two incense sticks.

Of course, after finishing a book, Chen Yushu does not start reading the next one immediately. Instead, he will pause for half an incense stick of time to quickly think about the problems and gains in the book.

Often, this is when he gains the most reading experience.

Generally speaking, reading a book can increase one's experience points by three to five points, and this half-incense stick of pause time for thinking can increase another three to five points of experience points.

Sometimes, if you have some understanding, you can even reach seven or eight, or eight or nine points.

"Little brother, you read so fast, can you understand it?"

At this moment, a voice came.

Chen Yushu looked up and saw that it was the old teacher he met last time.

"I understand!"

Chen Yushu nodded and casually pulled out another book.

"Understand?
Then let me test you!"

The old man seemed very surprised. He picked up the book that Chen Yushu had just finished reading and asked, "What is the main content of this book "Nong Yan"?"

"Collect wind!"

Chen Yushu replied.

"Collecting wind?"

The old man looked surprised.

"A literary leader passed by a field and asked a few questions to the farmers, and then used these questions to derive a lot of answers for high-rise buildings. Isn't this collecting folk songs?

Well, of course, this Yang Xingye is worthy of being the top scholar, his writing is extraordinary, his words are gorgeous, and every word is a pearl. "

Chen Yushu said with a smile.

"This... you..."

The old gentleman was stunned at first, and then suddenly froze. Of course, he could hear that Chen Yushu did not think highly of this work.

But if you think about it carefully, it is true.

This article does not provide answers to the fundamental problems facing farmers.

He just used farmers' words to satirize the officialdom, and what he ultimately involved was still the official struggles.

Nong Yan was just a tool for his struggle.

However, most literati would never dare to say this.

They only analyze his literary talent from the words and sentences, and deduce his thoughts from the content. Many people even use this to guess his preferences and try to curry favor with him... Just like him, before he was demoted, didn't he also try to curry favor with the powerful several times?

Chen Yushu ignored it and looked at the article in his hand instead.

Unlike other Confucian articles, this book actually talks about ghosts and monsters.

It tells the story of a scholar who encountered some strange and bizarre things while traveling abroad. Among them, he described vividly that he saw a dragon in the river, a firebird in the forest, and a demon in an ancient temple...

However, it does not mention how he resolved the problem or escaped from it afterwards.

It only records the reactions of the people around him after he saw these things, and lists in detail the abilities of these beings, as well as the possible impacts and harms they may cause.

After reading the whole thing, Chen Yushu felt a little lost, and then he couldn't wait to look at the signature.

The abandoned disciple of Confucianism, Xue Heng!
Abandoned Confucianist?

Chen Yushu blinked, very curious about the identity of Xue Heng.

If he is not an incredibly powerful martial arts expert with astonishing strength, then he must be someone who has made great progress in the way of the Yin people.

After all, according to the calculations of ghosts, evil spirits, disasters, and calamities... the demon dragon among them is at least a disaster, or even a calamity level.

Without extremely powerful means, how could one escape unscathed?

"Little brother, do you have any questions?"

At this time, the old teacher saw that he was frowning and couldn't help but ask.

"is a bit.

I wonder if you, old man, know this Xue Heng?"

Chen Yushu thought about it and asked quickly.

"Xue Heng?
Xue Heng, one of the eight rangers?
Although this man claimed to be a Confucian scholar, he was actually a martial artist.

I just wrote an article based on my own experiences. I am a good student, but I broke my promise and did not go to see the emperor. Instead, I went to learn martial arts. It is really a waste of my studies. I don't know what I am doing."

The old instructor looked at Xue Heng with disdain, even a little contempt.

"You were born a scholar? And later you used martial arts to travel the world?"

Chen Yushu knew that this Gongshi was actually someone who had already passed the imperial examination and then passed the joint examination. Generally speaking, after passing the Gongshi examination, one would almost certainly be able to go one step further, pass the palace examination, and "meet the emperor" to obtain the Jinshi title.

If the article is outstanding and wins the emperor's favor, he can even be awarded the title of No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3...

It can be said that this person has studied to his core. He can directly serve as an official in the court and become a great civil official. If he continues to specialize in academic studies, he can even become a great scholar, come in and out of the powerful, and have students all over the world.

However, he turned away from literature and martial arts, and even earned a reputation as one of the eight great heroes.

I have to say, he can be called a remarkable man of his generation.

“Reading can make you wise.

Only with fame and achievements can one obtain the grace of the emperor.

With the grace of the emperor, you can be protected by the imperial court, and no demons or monsters can get close to you.

This person must be mentally ill to choose to take risks by learning martial arts."

The old teacher scolded him, then looked at Chen Yushu and said, "I see that you are very talented in studying.

But don't let it go to waste.

I heard that you have no official title yet, and haven't even taken the exam for boys. This is such a pity.

As a teacher at the academy, I also have the ability to recommend you. Next February, there will be the boy's examination held every three years. You have a good foundation in reading, so you can take part in this county examination. What do you think?"

The old teacher seemed to feel really sorry for Chen Yushu's knowledge, and quickly spoke with enthusiasm.

"Will this cause some trouble, old man?"

Chen Yushu did not refuse after hearing this.

He knew that in the ancient context, identity was actually a very important thing.

Boys who are students, scholars who are masters, and juren who are successful in the exam can all become officials.

If he was still the poor student he was in his previous life, he would naturally stay away from these things and would not think that he really had the ability and skill to study.

But in this world, it is completely different.

Because of the attribute panel and his level of study, he is indeed relatively high. In terms of knowledge and experience, he is not worse than many teachers, and may even be better.

After all, the Wenchang Pavilion had a rich collection of books. He had a general understanding of astronomy, geography, the Four Books and Five Classics, and various academic knowledge, and he almost understood them all.

I thought passing the county exam shouldn't be difficult.

"No trouble."

The old teacher waved his hand, then smiled and said, "Now, you have to tell me what your name is, right?"

"Student, Chen Yushu!"

Chen Yushu stood up, bowed and said.

"Okay, okay, from now on, you can call me teacher.

By the way, my name is Li Wenshu."

As he said this, he looked at Chen Yushu expectantly.

"Meet Teacher Li."

Chen Yushu bowed, but his face looked calm.

Given his level of reading, it is difficult for him to be moved by ordinary things.

"The policy paper you read last time was written by me!"

Seeing this, Li Wenshu became anxious and quickly reminded him.

“That article is well written.”

Chen Yushu nodded and affirmed.

Li Wenshu was delighted at first, but when he saw that the other party had no more to say, he felt depressed. However, he was too embarrassed to ask the other party to praise him more, so he could only say sullenly, "You continue reading. I'm leaving now."

Having said that, he walked out with a bit of displeasure.

Chen Yushu didn't take it seriously. All he wanted to do was read books.

As for the examination for students, it is just a matter of going with the flow.

If everything goes well, he will take the exam and nothing will be lost. If he really cannot pass the exam, he doesn't care.

Ever since he knew that there were ghosts and martial arts in this world, he had already made his own decision.

Reading is just an alternative.

At most, I can use my identity to provide some convenience and comfort to my family.

Reading +1
Reading +1
Reading +2
……

time flies.

The sky also darkened.

Only then did Chen Yushu reluctantly leave the academy and rush to his home.

When he got home, Chen Yushu immediately started to light the fire and cook.

Of course, he did not forget to light the stove and boil the medicine.

The ones that are decocted are Qi and Blood Soup and Yang Yuan Soup.

However, this time, in addition to adding these two kinds of decoctions, he also started another stove and added some blood-replenishing herbs. Finally, he took out the Red Cloud Ganoderma from the room, cut off a small piece from the top layer of Ganoderma leaves that had a large piece missing, put it into the medicine stove and began to boil it.

"Red Cloud Ganoderma is a holy medicine for replenishing blood. Just a small piece of it can bring life back to a dying person with blood loss.

It does not require any special treatment, and only needs to be combined with a few auxiliary medicines to fully exert its blood-replenishing effect. It is also the best precious medicine and magical medicine for the martial arts and physical training stage. "

The description of the Red Cloud Ganoderma flashed quickly in Chen Yushu's mind, and he suddenly became extremely excited.

The physical training stage for warriors is divided into very detailed categories: standing practice to strengthen the body and cultivate strength, external training of the skin, flesh, tendons, and marrow, and internal training of the internal organs.

But all of this requires the nourishment of qi and blood, and a large amount of nourishing substances to lay a solid foundation.

And the Red Cloud Ganoderma, in his opinion, is the most suitable spiritual medicine and precious medicine for him at this moment.

This is also the reason why he did not sell this precious medicine but planned to take it himself.

Had dinner.

Chen Yushu then quickly poured the Qixue Decoction and Yangyuan Decoction into his stomach.

Afterwards, he began to practice the Medicine King Posture.

As soon as the great success level of Medicine King Posture was performed, endless heat and strength surged out of his body, constantly accumulating and consuming the energy in his body.

Once, twice, three times...

After feeling that the strength in my body has become extremely abundant.

Chen Yushu quickly started practicing the external training technique, Medicine King Locking Strength Technique.

The tenacious and abundant strength immediately followed the route of the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique and rapidly washed over the surface of his membrane.

One Sunday, two Sundays...

After feeling the lack of strength, he immediately turned to practicing the Medicine King Posture, and then the Medicine King Locking Strength Exercise, over and over again until he felt a lack in his body.

This is because after continuous practice, the medicinal properties of Qixue Decoction and Yangyuan Decoction have been exhausted.

Only then did Chen Yushu pause slightly.

"After I cultivated the Medicine King Pillar to perfection, the effect of the Yang Yuan Decoction also weakened. I can only practice it seven times in a row.

But I have gained a lot of experience.”

Regardless of whether it is Qixue Decoction or Yangyuan Decoction, the main thing that is increased is the number of times the Yaowang Zhuang Gong is practiced.

As for the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique, the source of its power comes from the strength developed through the Medicine King Posture Technique. It is a continuation of strength and an application of the same strength. There is no direct relationship between the two.

Chen Yushu then took a look at the attribute panel.

Yaowang Zhuang Gong: Great Accomplishment (457/800)

Medicine King Locking Power: Minor Success (301/400)

“The Medicine King Pillar Technique is only 300 experience points away from a breakthrough and reaching perfection.

As for the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique, it is much faster to reach the state of perfection, and it only requires less than 100 experience points.

It can be achieved in two days at the slowest and one day at the fastest."

Chen Yushu was slightly excited.

He indeed felt that his skin had become extremely tough, just like cowhide. Even if it was scratched by a knife, it would only leave a mark without breaking the skin.

In fact, at this point, when he practiced the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique, what he tempered was no longer just his own skin membrane, but began to temper his flesh and blood, and slowly extended to the meridians.

Although the training of Yaowang Locking Power begins from the skin membrane, it is also a process of penetration in essence.

When the membrane is strengthened to a certain extent, it will naturally transform into flesh and blood. When the flesh and blood are strong, they will enter the meridians and acupoints, and then start to strengthen his bones, until it goes from the bones to the marrow...

The stronger the strength, if it is enhanced, the most obvious thing is that the standing meditation will advance from great success to perfection, or his Medicine King Locking Strength Meditation will advance from small success to great success. Then the membrane is also the first part that is tempered when the strength is enhanced.

In this way, it goes through another layer of penetration.

“Therefore, only if I cultivate both the Medicine King Posture Technique and the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique to perfection, I will be able to lay an extremely solid foundation.

Even though he has practiced for far less time than some veteran warriors, his physical strength and the toughness of his skin and flesh are far superior to theirs.

After all, ordinary people can't do what I do, relying on the attribute panel to practice the corresponding pile training and external forging techniques to perfection."

Chen Yushu quickly made a judgment in his mind.

Then, he walked to the last medicine furnace and drank the dried Red Cloud Ganoderma Lucidum Soup mouthful by mouthful, including the remaining medicine residue.

Almost instantly.

Chen Yushu felt as if his whole body was on fire and steam was rising from it.

The terrifying power of the medicine quickly ran rampant throughout his body.

Without any hesitation, Chen Yushu immediately began to practice the Medicine King Posture.

Under the surging power of the medicine, his speed of standing still also increased. In just one stick of incense, he completed one standing still, and then the second time, the third time...

The strength transformed through the standing meditation also accumulated in his body, making him feel stronger than ever before, as if he could break mountains and shatter rocks with just one move.

Moreover, the body also felt extremely swollen, as if there was a surge of powerful energy but no way to vent it.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

But he didn't want to waste the medicine.

"Perhaps, I can practice the Medicine King Stance Technique while practicing the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique?"

Chen Yushu thought of this point quickly, almost as if it were a sudden inspiration.

Thinking quickly in my mind.

The Medicine King Posture Exercise is a dynamic exercise, while the Medicine King Locking Strength Exercise is a static exercise. Essentially, there is no conflict between the two.

I can totally do this as long as I have distraction control.

Dual-purpose.

This may be difficult for ordinary people.

But for him, who had reached the state of enlightenment through reading and the state of great concentration through meditation, it was very simple.

Not to mention doing two things at once, even doing three or four things at once is no problem for him.

So Chen Yushu started trying it quickly.

His hands kept moving as he practiced the Medicine King Posture Technique continuously, while his mind controlled the strength, and began to flow rapidly along the route of the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique.

After finishing a set of Medicine King Posture Exercise, his Medicine King Locking Strength Exercise also completed a cycle while his strength surged.

"It really works!"

Chen Yushu's eyes lit up and he felt a little excited.

This is equivalent to directly saving him a lot of practice time.

Moreover, he did feel that he was becoming stronger.

Especially in terms of the skin and flesh, that kind of toughness and toughness, he could feel it as long as he exerted force.

Yaowang Zhuang Gong +5
Medicine King Locking Power +7
Yaowang Zhuang Gong +6
Medicine King Locking Power +8
……

Once, twice, three times...

I practiced it fifteen times.

Chen Yushu finally felt the surging power of the medicine gradually dissipating.

At this time, Chen Yushu once again turned his attention to the attribute panel.

Yaowang Zhuang Gong: Great Accomplishment (551/800)

Medicine King Locking Power: Great Accomplishment (11/800)

"The experience value of the Medicine King Pillar Technique has directly increased by nearly a hundred points.

The Medicine King's Locking Strength Technique was directly upgraded to the Great Perfection realm."

Chen Yushu suddenly felt excited.

Just now, he indeed felt that when he was practicing the Medicine King Locking Power Technique, the violent impact made his skin, flesh and blood become much stronger.

However, in contrast, a strong fishy smell also emanated from him.

These are the dregs and blood that are eliminated from the body after tempering.

He quickly fetched some water and rinsed it thoroughly.

Then, he touched his own flesh and blood again, and clearly felt that it was stronger and tougher.

Even his strength increased significantly, and he punched forward.

boom!
There was a rumbling sound in the air.

This is the sound that can only be caused when the strength and speed reach a certain level. It is the external manifestation that the martial arts strength has reached a certain level.

"I am now at least much stronger than before."

When Chen Yushu thought of this, he did not hesitate and quickly picked up a long sword and began to perform Eighteen Sword Moves.

One cut after another, finally the three cuts combined into one, and he chopped forward with force.

boom!
The air exploded, and the trees in the distance were shaking as the air wave swept across.

"The power of the Eighteen Blades has also been greatly increased."

Chen Yushu was not surprised by this.

Any martial arts requires strength to support it.

Now that his strength has increased significantly, naturally the power of the martial arts he displays will also increase greatly.

in this way.

Chen Yushu then began to practice the Eighteen-Strike Sword Technique and Eight-Step Cicada Chasing Technique. Half an hour later, he took a shower and came to the study.

He is about to start drawing talismans!

During this trip to Tianyuan Mountain, in order to deal with the ghost lady, he threw away almost all the talismans on his body at once.

Now that he is back, he naturally needs to make up for his previous consumption.

Fortunately, Chen Yushu had already learned how to draw many talismans before.

Some relatively simple ones, such as talismans for warding off evil spirits and house protection, were even practiced by him to the level of proficiency.

Drawing talismans is no longer as difficult as before.

Then, he began to spread out the talisman paper and started to draw the talisman quickly.

First, there were the house-guarding talismans, ten of which were simply drawn, then the talismans for warding off evil spirits, also ten, the talismans for calming the mind, five, the talismans for exterminating ghosts, five, and the thunder-attracting talismans, three.

It’s not that I don’t want to draw more, but my energy is limited.

Although drawing talismans is simple and there is almost no possibility of failure, the number of talismans he can draw in a day is limited.

Just this took him nearly three hours.

When he returned to his room, it was already late at night.

It is said that when the energy is sufficient, one does not feel like eating; when the spirit is sufficient, one does not feel like sleeping.

His spirit was naturally full, and his need for sleep was extremely low.

Every time you enter a state of meditation, it is the best time to sleep and rest.

So he quickly entered into a state of meditation, then took out the soul bead and began to absorb the spiritual particles inside once again.

After a full stick of incense, Chen Yushu put away the soul bead in his hand that had shrunk by half.

"The incense cultivation has increased significantly."

A look of satisfaction immediately appeared on Chen Yushu's face.

Once a day, and every time he absorbed the spiritual particles in the soul bead, his spiritual power would increase by ten points.

It may seem like a small amount, but it is equivalent to his ten days of hard training.

This was because he had reached a state of great concentration, and his practice efficiency had greatly increased.

If it is still the same as before, with only a small concentration, it will take three to five days to increase the incense and cultivation a little bit, which is equivalent to one to two months of hard practice.

"Shallow concentration, small concentration, great concentration, constant concentration... Now my state of concentration is great concentration.

After that, there is Chang Ding.

As long as I can reach the state of constant concentration, I will be able to enter into concentration at any time. In other words, I can practice visualization at any time and will not be affected in the slightest.

By then, my practice efficiency will definitely be able to improve significantly again.

The speed at which the incense and the Taoism increase will also inevitably increase exponentially."

Chen Yushu has always known it.

The state of meditation directly determines the efficiency of his practice.

During the period of minor concentration, it takes three to five days to increase one's spiritual power a little bit. During the period of major concentration, it takes one point a day. If the spiritual particles are relatively dense, such as near Tianyuan Mountain, it is possible to increase it by two points directly.

In his opinion, this level of training efficiency was actually not slow.

Li Chao's Record of Seeing Ghosts recorded many things about Li Chao's cultivation, and the time span reached more than 30 years. If he remembered correctly, it took Li Chao five years to go from the level of one incense stick to the level of two incense sticks.

From two incense sticks to three incense sticks, it took thirteen years.

Then until his death, he had not yet touched the next realm, which is the threshold to entering the Tao.

“However, if one reaches the state of constant concentration.

It will definitely allow my cultivation speed to increase significantly again.

For me, this is not as difficult as I imagined.”

Chen Yushu felt very confident.

The most important reason is that his study level has reached the middle and late stages of Mingxin, and he is not far from another breakthrough.

The longest time can be ten days, the shortest can be seven days.

can be achieved.

early morning.

Chen Yushu got up directly.

Light the fire and boil the medicine.

After some more practice, he finally went out.

However, just as he was about to go out, he paused, because at this moment, a young man with a sword on his back walked past him, and then walked step by step to the door of the last house.

The person living in that house was the corpse-raiser.
