After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 1 Handyman
Netherworld Sect.

The annual Ascension Ceremony has ended.

Of the countless mortals who came from the seven countries outside the mountains, only 3000 people finally crossed the mountains and were brought back to the mountain gate by the monks of the Netherworld Sect and settled in the "Eryi Jiangshen Peak".

"All new disciples will start as menial servants. Regardless of which hall you are assigned to, you will have three months to practice the 'Book of the Dead' and the 'Twenty-Four Sections of Qigong'. After three months, the first divine descent will take place. The only one who can help you is yourself!"

"The assignment list has been posted. After reviewing it, please take your ID badge and report to your respective branch office."

A middle-aged man in a blue uniform announced loudly.

in the crowd.

Qi Sheng tried hard to adapt to the overwhelming amount of information and tried his best to hide his identity as a time traveler, which he had not yet warmed up to.

"...No. 1024, Qi Sheng, Tuntian Hall, Engineering Academy."

Beside Qi Sheng, a girl with a baby face and big breasts cried out, grabbing Qi Sheng's hand and jumping for joy: "We are all in the Engineering Courtyard."

Her name is Liu Rongrong.

Next to her was a boy and a girl, both about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The man's name is Feng Qing and the woman's name is Ju Ying.

Feng Qing is noble and arrogant.

Ju Ying is capable and tall.

In Qi Sheng's original memory, the four of them all came from Lizhou, Yue State.

The elders are on good terms with each other, and the younger generations also have a good relationship with each other.

The four of them came to the Netherworld Sect to seek immortals and learn skills. They crossed mountains and rivers and had no dangers along the way. They were successfully accepted as disciples by the Netherworld Sect.

But what Liu Rongrong and others didn't know was -

"The original Qi Sheng is dead."

"The one standing in front of them now is me, Qi Sheng from Earth."

Qi Sheng didn't know why he put it on.

After a car accident, this is what happened when I opened my eyes again.

"Rongrong is in the needlework studio."

"Ju Ying is in the Bell and Drum Hall of the Rites Court."

"I'm at the Baiguotang in the dining hall."

Feng Qing smiled bitterly: "Who would have thought that after entering the immortal sect, we would have to work as farmers, embroiderers, musicians and fruit growers."

Ju Ying didn't care: "There are also people on the list who are assigned to the laundry hall and the night fragrance hall. Compared to washing clothes and cleaning out excrement, we are considered good."

She looked at the three of them and said in a clear voice, "The first three months of initiation are very important. Everyone, during this time, carefully familiarize yourself with the subject and concentrate on your cultivation. Don't gather unless it's important."

After saying that, she stretched out her long legs, swung her ponytail, and strode straight to the Bell and Drum Hall to report.

"Ju Ying is right."

Qi Sheng felt guilty.

The original body's memories were fragmented, and not seeing each other for three months was just what he wanted.

He felt relieved and followed Ju Ying to report.

Liu Rongrong hurriedly followed: "Qi Sheng, wait for me."

Jumping and skipping, so cute.

Feng Qing looked at the three men from behind, and his fighting spirit ignited in his heart: "Alright! Let's see who will be the last one standing in three months!"

……

"have to!"

“This is the treatment you get if you don’t have money!”

After most of the day, Qi Sheng looked at the snow and ice ahead and couldn't help shivering.

He was assigned.

To be more precise, he was exiled!
Because he had no money to bribe the head of Tuntian Hall, he was assigned to the "Great Cold Zone".

The immortals of the Netherworld Sect used their great magical powers to change the celestial phenomena and climate of this farming area, making it always in the coldest season of the "Great Cold" among the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms".

This is also one of the two most difficult areas in the military farm area, the other being the 'Great Heat Area'.

Qi Sheng trembled and cursed his bad luck.

Fortunately, there was another unlucky guy with him, named "Di Yong", who was from Chu, which was more than 108,000 miles away from Yue.

The two looked at each other, their faces bitter, but they dared not say anything.

Ahead of them, there was an old man leading the way. Although he was dressed in gray and worked as a menial worker like them, he was a senior who had entered the art world long ago. His temples were completely white, and he could still stride nearly a meter in one step.

This is a master!

"okay!"

"Now that you're here, don't be so reserved. You're all unlucky. At best, I came here 21 years earlier than you. I'm the old unlucky one!"

Yu Huaishan led the two newlyweds straight to their residence, and only after they entered the red brick and tile house did they feel warm.

He looked at the two young men, rubbed his face, and smiled. "You two can sit wherever you want, and don't be afraid of me bullying you. That's not the case. I've stayed in the Great Cold Region for 21 years. Why? Just so I could bring a few new people to guide me, so I could establish a good relationship with them. In the future, when you are prosperous, you can say a few good things about me and come back to help me, so that I can return home with honor!"

"..."

"..."

Qi Sheng and Di Yong never expected that this senior would be so honest.

Qi Sheng hurriedly said: "We will have to rely on the seniors for more guidance in the future."

Di Yong wasn't very good at speaking, but Qi Sheng's words touched his heart, and he quickly said, "Right, right, right! Brother Qi is right!"

Yu Huaishan waved his hand: "Don't call me senior, it makes people laugh. I'm thirty-eight years old, not much older than you. Just call me Brother Yu."

38?

Qi Sheng was stunned.

These wrinkles! These white hairs!

83 is about right.

Are you kidding?
Di Yong hesitated to speak, half believing and half doubting.

Yu Huaishan waved his hand: "You will know in a few months."

He didn't explain further and continued, "The first three months are crucial. Have you received the 'Twenty-Four Sections of Qigong' and the 'Book of the Dead'?"

"I got it."

Qi Sheng suppressed his thoughts and took out two volumes of secret books from his bag, and Di Yong also took out his.

Yu Huaishan asked again: "Do you know the difference between these two techniques?"

Di Yong shook his head.

Qi Sheng's memory contained some information on this aspect: "I heard that the immortal sect is divided into two paths: immortality and martial arts. The 'Twenty-Four Solar Components Qigong' is the martial arts path. After mastering it, one's skin will be as tough as a drum, tendons as tight as strings, bones as hard as steel, and blood will be as strong as mercury. One will be able to fly over eaves and walls, and even break monuments and crack rocks. The 'Book of the Dead' is the immortal path. It cultivates longevity, but is not good at fighting. In terms of combat power improvement, it is far inferior to the 'Twenty-Four Solar Components Qigong'. However, if one can master it, one can live for three to five hundred years!"

"hiss!"

"Then I will definitely practice the Dead Man's Sutra!"

Di Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he held the secret book of immortality in his arms. What's the use of being able to fight? His father said that if you win, you will go to jail, and if you lose, you will go to the clinic, and you will lose money whether you win or lose.

It’s better to live forever!

Yu Huaishan laughed: "If you can really master the Dead Man's Sutra, that would be amazing and your future is limitless. But I'm afraid that after three to five years of studying, you won't even be able to get through the door."

Qi Sheng was surprised: "Is The Book of the Dead so difficult?"

He was just thinking about focusing on studying the way of immortality and seeking immortality!
Yu Huaishan said, "I also got the 'Twenty-Four Solar Hours Qigong' and the 'Dead Man's Sutra' at the same time. 21 years ago, I practiced the 'Twenty-Four Solar Hours Qigong' to the fifth solar term, 'Qingming', but I haven't been able to master the 'Dead Man's Sutra' yet."

So outrageous?

"That's outrageous," Yu Huaishan said. "I suggest you put the 'Book of the Dead' aside for now and focus all your energy for the next three months on the 'Twenty-Four Sections of Qigong.' After all, the 'Book of the Dead' is obscure and difficult to understand, and it's extremely difficult to get started. Furthermore, the first descent of spirits in three months will be extremely dangerous. Only by mastering the first level of the 'Twenty-Four Sections of Qigong' can you hope to survive safely."

Qi Sheng swallowed his saliva. "What exactly is 'Deity Descending'? If I don't learn martial arts in three months, will I die?"

Yu Huaishan shook his head: "I will die, and I won't die."

???

Qi Sheng's mind was full of questions.

Yu Huaishan explained, "The so-called 'descending gods' is actually the opposite of 'inviting gods' in the lower realms. Believers in the lower realms sincerely worship and invite gods to descend to the earth to eliminate demons and monsters."

"We, the monks from the upper realm, responded to the believers and came down to the mortal world to manifest. In the process of exorcising demons and monsters, casualties are inevitable."

"However, the deaths and injuries in the lower realm during the 'descending' process are not real deaths and injuries. They will only have a toll on our true bodies, shortening our lifespan and life."

"Therefore, if you can survive the descent of the spirit, try not to die."

"How can I avoid death?"

"The only way is to diligently practice the Twenty-Four Solar Nodes Qigong!"

……

"I see."

That night.

Qi Sheng lives alone in a room.

Looking at the first two volumes of the secret book, he roughly understood what Yu Huaishan meant.

"The Dead Man's Sutra, if practiced, can lead to longevity, but it is extremely difficult to get started."

"Furthermore, it can't improve your martial arts skills, which is not conducive to dealing with 'demons'."

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Qigong is a martial art that practices killing and destruction.

When facing demons and monsters, one must be strong and powerful, with powerful fists and feet, and be able to protect oneself, so as not to be killed by the demons and monsters, and thus not to shorten one's lifespan.

As the saying goes, listen to persuasion, and eat a full meal.

Qi Sheng decided to listen to Yu Huaishan.

He put the "Book of the Dead" aside and opened the "Twenty-Four Sections of Qigong" first.

This was the Netherworld Sect's guardian deity skill, divided into 24 levels based on the 24 solar terms. These menial servants only had the first six levels.

"Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, Waking of Insects, Spring Equinox, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Grain Rain."

Qi Sheng read it over and over again and had a general idea of ​​the first six levels.

The first layer is 'Lichun', when all things revive and become full of vitality.

This level is the basic kung fu practice.

Standing still and doing boxing.

Train the muscles all over the body to be strong and full, train all the strength in the body to flow freely and thoroughly, then when you punch you can mobilize the strength of your whole body and deliver a full force attack.

This first level is considered to be mastered.

"In my original body's memory, the top-level boxing techniques in the secular world, when practiced to perfection, are roughly on the same level as the first level of 'Lichun'."

"The immortal family's magical power is truly extraordinary."

Qi Sheng sighed with emotion. He closed the secret book and thought to himself: "I have already died once. I am lucky to be able to live again and be exposed to the cultivation of immortals."

When it comes to hard work, the small town test-takers are no less capable than anyone else.

"The next step is to study martial arts diligently."

"But we can't completely ignore the Book of the Dead."

Qi Sheng flipped open another secret book, with some hope in his heart: "I am a time traveler, maybe my talent for cultivating immortality is maxed out."

With this expectation, he flipped through the secret books of immortality and studied them with great difficulty.

……

A month later.

"Seeing you is like seeing myself back then."

"I remember that Brother Li also advised me to focus on martial arts for the first three months."

"But who doesn't want to live forever?"

“Who doesn’t think they are the most special one?”

"I was thinking to myself, maybe I have a different talent in the immortal way, maybe I can cultivate both immortality and martial arts."

"As it turns out, it didn't."

"Wait until the first séance in three months—"

"Immortal, I haven't become an immortal yet."

"Wu, Wu is not well trained."

"I died as soon as I came down to earth, shortening my life by three years."

"One step slow, every step slow!"

Yu Huaishan was instructing Qi Sheng and Di Yong in standing and practicing boxing in front of the house.

Whenever he saw that the two of them were not in such a good state, he would mutter about it, recalling the past, feeling sad, regretful, and remorseful.

But as he said, once you enter the immortal gate and have the immortal magic in your hands, who can resist such temptation?

Even Qi Sheng, who has lived two lives as a human, fantasizes about being the protagonist of the immortal path and rising to the top.

However, reality hit him hard.

For the past month, he practiced martial arts during the day and cultivated Taoism at night.

However, apart from wasting energy and affecting sleep, there is no other benefit to practicing Taoism.

As for getting started?

No shadow can be seen.

"That's it!"

"From today on, concentrate on practicing boxing."

Qi Sheng was practicing martial arts in front of the house in the freezing cold.

Beginning of Spring Fist!
The purpose of the exercise is to revive the body and achieve a vibrant state. The best place to practice this level is the "Lichun District" of Tuntian Hall. It is always in the beginning of spring there, and if the mood is right, it is extremely beneficial for practicing "Lichun Fist".

And the 'Great Cold Zone'——

“It’s so bitter!”

Qi Sheng was in great pain.

After coming here, not only do you have to practice boxing in the snow and ice, but you also have to farm in the freezing cold environment.

One hundred acres of land in the 'Great Cold Zone' is planted with a medicinal herb called 'Snow Teng Root'. After it is dried and ground into powder, it becomes as white as snow and can be used with other herbs to make medicinal food.

Drying the medicine, grinding it into powder, and making medicinal food are all done by people from other halls. All Qi Sheng and his team have to do is hoe the land, sow seeds, and dig.

'Snow Tenggen' is easy to care for and requires no weeding or fertilizing.

But it grows in frozen soil, and both sowing and mining are strenuous work.

Yu Huaishan said that Qi Sheng and Di Yong did not need help and asked them to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

But how could Qi Sheng bear to see an old man who claimed to be 38 but looked as old as 83 digging the ground miserably?

So he and Di Yong helped Yu Huaishan every day.

Dig the ground.

Exhausted.

It's freezing cold.

Such hard times continued for another two months.

In a blink of an eye.

The three-month period has expired.

The day of the advent has arrived.

……

Eryi Jiangshen Peak.

The tenth Tianmen Terrace.

This is a large platform located on the mountainside. A gate stands in the center of the square with the words "Tenth Heaven Gate" written on it.

now.

The square was shrouded in a halo, making it difficult for people to advance. Thousands of menial disciples were waiting outside.

Liu Rongrong was scrambling through the crowd, looking for someone, when her eyes suddenly lit up: "Qi Sheng!"

"It's my friend." Qi Sheng and Di Yong went over to greet her: "Rongrong."

After three months, Liu Rongrong was still full of energy. "Qi Sheng! I'm terrible. I haven't even started with the 'Book of the Dead' and I've only reached the 9th level of the 'Lichun Fist' in the 'Twenty-Four Solar Nodes Qigong'."

As soon as they met, she complained to Qi Sheng. She was depressed, but her sunny nature remained unchanged.

After a burst of output, she curiously asked Qi Sheng: "How about you? What level have you reached? Ninth or tenth?"

'Lichun Fist' is divided into 18 sets of boxing techniques.

Practicing to the 4th level is considered entry-level.

You are considered proficient once you have practiced the 13th move.

The subsequent courses are not compulsory, you can switch to the second solar term.

Generally speaking.

About 60% of the new menial disciples can practice the "Lichun Fist" to the 13th level within three months to one year.

Liu Rongrong March 9th Road.

Not top-notch, but average.

And Qi Sheng——

"almost."

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not Route 13.”

Qi Sheng glossed over it.

Di Yong turned his head away and pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. He hadn't expected that Brother Qi, who was always calm and composed in front of him and Brother Yu, actually had a face-saving side.

He laughed, then his mood darkened again: "What right do I have to laugh at Brother Qi? After three months of hard training, Brother Qi's 4th grade and my 6th grade are still no match for this girl."

It is difficult to cultivate immortality, and there is no way to achieve it.

Practicing martial arts is extremely hard.

But compared to those hardships, what Di Yong couldn't stand even more was that he had obviously worked very hard, but his progress was still slow.

When we were in the severe cold zone, I didn’t even notice that Brother Qi was at the bottom.

At this moment, the menial disciples who had entered the sect at the same time gathered together, and the voices of "I am the 9th" and "I am the 10th" could be heard in their ears.

Only then did he realize how big the gap was between himself and the main force.

"Are they all so fierce?"

Qi Sheng also felt bitter, but he didn't say it.

Instead, Liu Rongrong hugged his arm, immersed in the waves, and chattered about some things she had done in the needlework workshop.

Then he pulled him to find Feng Qing and Ju Ying.

Before they found anyone.

suddenly.

'Buzz~'

Accompanied by a sound similar to the sound of throat singing.

The gate of heaven is open!
……

"quick!"

"Get in quickly!"

Liu Rongrong didn't bother to look for anyone else.

She pulled Qi Sheng and said anxiously, "We have to get ahead and try to find the simplest one."

Before Qi Sheng came, he also received Yu Huaishan's advice. Knowing that this was not the time to dawdle, he also ran as fast as he could.

But now the difference in rank is revealed.

He only practiced the fourth set of boxing techniques in the first solar term.

He was dragged by Liu Rongrong, who was at 9th level. Their speed and strength were completely different.

They were dispersed in a short while.

"I'll run away by myself!"

Qi Sheng ran forward and was in the middle of the group.

As soon as I entered the square area, I saw the fairy light of the sky gate in the middle shining brightly, and rays of fairy light shot out from it, like stars, scattered all around.

There happened to be a little fairy light in front of Qi Sheng.

He quickly stretched out his fingers to touch it, his ten fingers connected to his heart.

The next moment, the believer's request immediately emerged in my heart.

But before Qi Sheng could figure it out.

Suddenly his eyes blurred, and some words appeared:

[Coordinates: Demon Realm]
