I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 81 Menghu's precious medicine, Jingjin Pills
Wei Dian stood quietly under the eaves, staring at Xie An in the wind and rain with his bright eyes.

In his impression, Xie An was always cautious, steady, low-key and taciturn, and rarely showed any interest in making a name for himself.

But I didn't expect that it actually contained such great perseverance.

Stab forward, chop horizontally, chop vertically...

He practiced these three sword techniques for half a month, rain or shine, day and night, failing hundreds of thousands of times and repeating them hundreds of thousands of times.

Wei Dian asked himself if he had such perseverance.

Few people can persist in repeating failure hundreds of thousands of times without any positive feedback.

What's more, he is an old man over fifty years old.

He finally couldn't help but speak.

"Xie An!"

Xie An, who was practicing his swordsmanship, heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Wei Dian, "Master Xiang, you're up."

"Well, after you finish these sets, come to my room."

After leaving a word, Wei Dian turned and walked into the living room, passed through the archway and returned to the bedroom.

He walked to the head of the bed, stretched out his dry and black right hand, turned over the pillow, and found a small red wooden box underneath.

The things that are pressed under the pillow by their owners are usually extremely precious items.

Wei Dian stared at the box for a moment, then covered it with the pillow again and turned away.

Before he had taken two steps, Wei Dian turned back again, turned over the pillow, and grabbed the small red box in his hand.

After opening it, there was a emerald green pill inside.

It is the size of a little finger and round. Although the color is not very pretty... it emits a rich and refreshing fragrance that is refreshing.

Wei Dian looked at the pill with great care, and was reluctant to part with it.

"When I first started working on the black market, the sect leader, mindful of my outstanding achievements and aware that I had gone astray in my practice of the Heavy Mountain Blade, specially gifted me two Jingjin Pills. I took one, and not only did the symptoms of my obsession disappear, I even managed to master the first level of the Heavy Mountain Blade.

I originally wanted to wait until I had completed the first stage before taking the other one to reach the second stage. But I didn't expect... to be poisoned by the Corpse Refining Hall's unique poison, the Corpse Poison Pill... Now that I don't have much time left, I won't be able to enjoy it."

"If Fang Baiyu hadn't tricked me, I wouldn't have been poisoned. Fang Baiyu..."

Eh.

As he spoke, Wei Dian let out a long sigh of helplessness.

While he was in a daze, Wei Dian saw the ginseng on the Eight Immortals Table again, and his mind was in turmoil.

"Originally, I intended to leave this Jingjin Pill to Lin Yun, but it is undoubtedly more appropriate to give it to Xie An..."

"Never mind. Xie An is a man of great perseverance... If I give him a push, perhaps he can really master the Heavy Mountain Blade. His future achievements will surely surpass mine. The better he develops, the safer Lin Yun will be."

At this moment, Xie An walked in with a knife.

"Incense Master."

Wei Dian looked at Xie An, who was soaked like a drowned chicken, and couldn't help laughing. "Go to the room next door where Lin Yun lives, take a shower, put on Lin Yun's clothes, and then come over."

Xie An also felt that this was not a very decent appearance, so he did as he was told. About a quarter of an hour later, Xie An returned again.

"Don't be shy, sit down and talk." Wei Dian stood up and pulled Xie An to a seat. "I saw you practicing your sword in the rain just now. I also saw your dedication to the Chongshan Blade over the past two weeks. You must have repeated the technique tens of thousands of times. Do you have any experience?"

Xie An felt a little embarrassed, but he gritted his teeth and said the truth, "When I put the knife away, the force of the knife also dissipated. I always feel like there is something missing."

Wei Dian, however, was not disappointed. "This isn't your problem, but the mystery of the Heavy Mountain Blade... that's the secret. This is why so few people in our Tiger and Wolf Sect have been able to master the Heavy Mountain Blade over the years. It's because the initial pressure technique is too difficult to practice. Now that your foundation is sufficient, I can tell you something. Do you know why the Sect Master spent ten years learning horizontal training?"

"To increase strength?"

Wei Dian shook his head, "It's because the Sect Master also took the wrong path at the beginning."

Xie An was surprised that the sect leader would take the wrong path. "?"

Wei Dian smiled and said, "Before, I thought you were just a passing fancy for the Heavy Mountain Blade, so I didn't tell you. I didn't expect you to have such great determination, so I couldn't help but tell you. I only found out about this later when I had the opportunity to ask the Sect Master for advice."

Xie An couldn't help but ask, "What did the Sect Master say?"

"Initially, Sect Master Meng Hu also believed that strengthening one's strength was the foundation for mastering the Heavy Mountain Blade, so he practiced horizontal training for ten years. While it did have an effect, it wasn't the key to mastering the Heavy Mountain Blade."

"The key is the health-preserving exercise?"

"The Sect Master is also a man of great perseverance. After realizing he had wasted ten years, he didn't get discouraged. Instead, he immediately adjusted his thinking. He spent another twenty years cultivating health-preserving techniques... well, he learned them from Old Master Tang. Do you know about fetal breathing techniques?"

"I know. I've practiced."

Upon hearing this, Wei Dian suddenly became very excited, "Then do you know the internal breathing cycle in the fetal breathing exercise?"

"know."

"Have you completed your training?"

Xie An weighed the pros and cons again and again, and decided not to hide it. "I've mastered it."

"Hahaha!"

Wei Dian suddenly slammed his hands on the table excitedly, "Good, good, good. You are indeed from the Tang Family Fort. It seems that only you can master the Heavy Mountain Blade."

Xie An had been in contact with Wei Dian for more than half a month, but this was the first time he saw the old incense master so excited. He was also infected by the mood and felt a little relieved.

After laughing for a while, Wei Dian finally realized that he had lost his composure, so he put away his smile and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment:

"Back then, the sect leader spent twenty years practicing health-preserving exercises, but what he was actually practicing was the internal breathing of the fetal breathing technique!
Xie An, you've been practicing diligently for half a month, and your sword power is already established. Next, you just need to transfer the insights gained from the internal circulation of the fetal breathing technique to the sword-suppressing technique. Within three years, there is a 50% chance that you will master the sword-suppressing technique."

what?
Xie An's heart was pounding.

Meng Hu has been practicing health-preserving exercises for twenty years. Is what he practices the internal circulation of fetal breathing?
And relying on my long life span, I completed the inner cycle in about a year and a half...

Long life character, so powerful?

While feeling excited, Xie An thought carefully about the principle of fetal breathing, and it was exactly the same as the knife-pressing technique.

If the knife force of the knife-suppressing technique is compared to fetal breathing... then isn't suppressing the knife force equivalent to the internal breathing cycle of fetal breathing?
wonderful!
Wonderful!

No wonder I felt that I was destined to be with Chongshan Dao's Notes when I first saw it... It really was destined.

After a long while, Xie An finally suppressed his excitement and quickly thought of a question, "Master Xiang, did you also practice fetal breathing later?"

Wei Dian shook his head. "I don't have the patience to spend ten or twenty years practicing fetal breathing. It was only with the help of the Jingjin pills given to me by the sect leader that I was able to barely get started."

"Jingjin Pills?"

"Yes, it's a very precious elixir. It relies on the special medicinal herb Ganlin root, which contains power comparable to the human body's internal strength. After taking it, it can improve a person's fine control of strength, allowing them to precisely grasp the slightest force. It is extremely helpful for sword-suppressing techniques. It can be considered Meng Hu's unique pill.

I've been in the Tiger and Wolf Sect for so many years, and I only got two. I ate one, and the other one..." Wei Dian handed the red wooden box to Xie An.

"This is the other one. I was originally saving it for the second level of Heavy Mountain Blade, but... forget it. Now it's just the right time for you to take it. This way, your chances of mastering the Heavy Mountain Blade in the near future are almost 100%."
