Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: I Possess the Heavenly Book of Merit

"It takes five hundred merits to be reborn, but last time it only took one hundred and eighty..."

This is a huge project that cannot be completed in a short time; accumulating merit takes time.

So Yu Yan turned his attention to the page on enlightenment in the Heavenly Book.

Ten points of merit will increase the progress by one point and improve comprehension.

To fully upgrade it, it would require a thousand merits, even more than the cost of reincarnation.

"Fortunately, even if I increase the progress a little, my comprehension will improve a lot."

Yu Yan closed his eyes and recalled, and his memory of the "Spirit Talisman Scripture" became clearer. He also gained some understanding of the scripture for the second level of Qi Refining. Things that were not clear before became clear at this time.

It only increases the progress of the Enlightenment Page by a little bit and has this effect. What if it reaches ten points, fifty points, or even the maximum in the future?

Will the limitations of spiritual roots still be so great at that time?

However, what kind of good deeds can accumulate merit?

Is it considered a good deed to guide disciples in cultivating their techniques?

There are still many disciples in the courtyard who have not yet entered the Dao; perhaps we can give it a try.

Thinking this, Yu Yan withdrew his consciousness from the Heavenly Book and looked out the window; the sky was gradually darkening.

Kong Shangji outside the door had already called for everyone to gather. Seeing that all his disciples had arrived, he began to speak:

"You have been here for a month now, and most of you have already entered the Dao, so it's about time that the Dao of Talismans of Yuanfu Peak is handed over to you."

Yu Yan stood in the crowd, reached out and took the "Basic Talismans" sent by Kong Shangji, and then heard Senior Brother Kong continue:

"The basic talismans are all first-tier low-grade talismans, such as fireball talismans, wind talismans, water talismans, etc."

"Learning talismans is related to comprehension. If one has poor comprehension and cannot remember the specific runes, then one can only copy them several times and rely on the memory in one's body to master the art of drawing talismans."

"If you want to practice, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion on the mountain and use contribution points to buy talisman paper and talisman brushes. Not only these, but also pills, magic tools and so on can be exchanged there with contribution points or spirit stones."

"Of course, we can also bring the talismans we draw ourselves to the Treasure Pavilion to sell for spirit stones."

"As for contribution points, you can earn them by accepting missions at the General Affairs Hall on the mountainside."

"Note that what I said above is on the premise of entering the Dao. Your master has given you three months. If you still cannot break through to the first level of Qi Refining after three months, then Yuanfu Peak may not be suitable for you."

Kong Shangji's words caused the expressions of those disciples who had not yet entered the Dao to change, as they all understood the unspoken meaning behind Kong's words.

If Yuanfu Peak is not suitable, then where is it suitable?

I never expected that there would be a test after joining the immortal sect. After three months of not entering the Dao, I was actually going to be expelled from the sect!

In an instant, the atmosphere in the courtyard became tense again.

However, this only applies to disciples who have not yet reached the first level of Qi Refining.

Those who chose the "Inch Sword Technique" no longer have any worries, at least they don't have to worry about being expelled from the sect three months later.

All of this is because of Qi Hao. Thanks to his patient guidance, we are where we are today.

Yu Yan noticed that many people were casting grateful glances at Qi Hao, realizing that the other party was trying to win over more people to facilitate his future cultivation.

After all, there is strength in numbers. To have such thoughts and actions so soon after entering the sect is truly worthy of a disciple raised by a mortal family. He certainly has the means.

After Kong Shangji left, Qi Hao gave an order to lead everyone to dinner, while the remaining few disciples who were fairly diligent but had average comprehension continued to cultivate.

Yu Yan opened the book "Basic Talismans" in his hand and tried to memorize the first complex rune. However, whenever he thought he had memorized it, his mind would go blank when he looked up again.

Is it because I lack comprehension that I can't remember things?

Yu Yan recalled the contents of the second page of the Heavenly Book. He decided to give it a try and came to the ancient tree. He saw that one of the disciples had just finished a round of cultivation, so he went up to him.

"Are you practicing the Everlasting Spring Qigong?"

The skinny, dark-skinned boy looked up and saw Yu Yan smiling at him.

Yu Yan bowed respectfully and continued:

"If it's alright, could I take a look at 'Changchun Gong'?"

The dark-skinned youth pursed his lips slightly. Seeing that Yu Yan meant no harm, he thought that since the "Eternal Spring Skill" was a common thing anyway, and he had already memorized the contents, and there were plenty of people who would exchange skills to read, he took out the skill book from his pocket.

"Please go ahead, but could you please move a little further away? I need to continue my cultivation and don't want to be disturbed."

"sure."

Yu Yan stepped back a few paces and saw the dark-skinned youth close his eyes again to continue his cultivation, so he focused his attention on the "Eternal Spring Technique".

In an instant, words seemed to fly out of the book and enter his mind, the words transforming into insights that kept surfacing in his heart.

He stared intently at the book and quickly turned to the next page.

The same actions, the same insights.

Yu Yan flipped through the pages faster and faster, until finally he unconsciously began to use his spiritual power. The pages seemed to be turned over in front of him as if blown by a gentle breeze.

All the way up to the last page of the first level of Qi Refining.

Yu Yan closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

But then, his mind was filled with immense doubt.

"Too easy."

"This technique is far too simple."

"How could it be so simple?"

The language is simple, the method is not complicated, and it is not difficult to understand. So why would someone not be able to even enter the path within a month?

Compared to the "Spirit Talisman Scripture" he cultivated, the two were worlds apart in difficulty.

They take so long to practice even the "Eternal Spring Skill," no wonder they decisively chose the simpler "Eternal Spring Skill" after seeing how complicated the "Spirit Talisman Scripture" was.

However, even if someone has poor comprehension, after a month of learning, they should be almost there by now.

Yu Yan looked up at the dark-skinned boy and saw that his brows were furrowed and his face showed fear. It took a long time to suppress his fear, but he soon reverted to his old ways.

It wasn't due to problems with comprehension or spiritual roots, but perhaps because they were stimulated by Qi Hao and others, as well as Yu Yan, making it difficult for them to calm down and cultivate. This caused the time it took to circulate their energy to be infinitely prolonged, which is why they haven't entered the Dao yet.

"But doesn't this Changchun Kung Fu also have a corresponding calming mantra? Didn't they discover it?"

Yu Yan thought about it more and more and it seemed possible. He saw the dark-skinned boy open his eyes again with a droopy face and come back to the other party.

"My name is Yu Yan. May I ask who you are...?"

The other person exhaled, looking at Yu Yan's face, feeling somewhat depressed.

"Luo Cheng".

"Brother Luo Cheng, I noticed that you always frown and ponder when you practice. You must have something on your mind. I have a calming mantra for you, as a reward for watching the 'Eternal Spring Gong'. It may be of some help to you."

Luo Cheng looked surprised, not only because Yu Yan had seen through his predicament, but also because Yu Yan was willing to teach him the calming mantra in exchange for a copy of the "Eternal Spring Skill".

Seeing that the other person usually doesn't talk much and rarely communicates with others, I originally thought that the other person was arrogant and unwilling to associate with others. I never expected that they would be such a kind-hearted person.

"However, we shouldn't take it completely at face value. Let's listen first. If it really works, then we can become closer friends with this person."

Thinking this, Luo Cheng cupped his hands and said:

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Yu."
