Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Sometimes he would stop and communicate with the villagers to learn about the unique local customs and habits.

On the way, he occasionally came across some Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, and he would visit them one by one.

If the host does not welcome him, he will not force it and will turn around and leave; if the host welcomes him, he will happily enter and discuss Buddhism, Taoism, scriptures and martial arts with the monks or Taoist masters in the temple.

Sometimes, Jiang Weichen would encounter vicious bandits who burned, killed, and looted, and innocent people would suffer at their hands. He would also act angrily and show no mercy.

Peace and tranquility are one aspect of the heart, and anger is also one aspect of the heart.

The human heart has seven emotions and six desires, including greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, separation from loved ones, and failure to obtain what one desires. These are all states of the mind.

Jiang Weichen does not indulge in his inner desires, but he does not reject this emotion either.

In this way, although Jiang Weichen's pace was slow, he gained a lot. Every time he arrived at a new place, he would stay for a while to appreciate the local mountains and rivers, visit local sages and scholars, and listen to folk stories and traditional customs.

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Weichen's soul seemed to have experienced a baptism, constantly being purified and sublimated.

Jiang Weichen had a vague understanding that if one's heart is narrow, the world will be narrow. Just like an old farmer who has stayed in the village all his life, all he cares about is his family and those few acres of land.

The world in his heart is just that small village, which cannot accommodate a wider world. What happens in the outside world has nothing to do with him.

Similarly, if your heart is broad, the world will be wide. A big heart can accommodate everything in the world, just like Su Dongpo, whom he visited. He had home and country, mountains and water in his heart. Even though he was demoted, he remained optimistic and positive.

It is worth mentioning that the Su Dongpo in this world has achieved some cultivation. He is actually a master who has inherited the Taoist way of inner alchemy.

It's a pity that he didn't focus on cultivation, and mingled with officials and civilians. He didn't choose places with rich spiritual energy to cultivate, otherwise he might have become a great master.

When Jiang Weichen met him in Huangzhou, he was in a period of decadence. The reason for his decadence was naturally that he lacked the strength to save the Song Dynasty.

Now, all the members of the Zhao royal family of the Song Dynasty have been converted. There was once a loyal minister who tried to restore the Song Dynasty, but he was reported by His Majesty and became one of those who were converted.

Su Dongpo was powerless to do anything about it. Even his younger brother, who held a high position in the capital, was one of them, and his younger brother would never help him again.

But fortunately, his family was not in any danger, which was his only comfort.

When Jiang Weichen disguised himself and visited him, he was in distress. After a conversation, he seemed to open up and confessed his distress to this stranger.

Jiang Weichen listened attentively, occasionally giving him some advice, and then after getting to know him, he discussed with him the practice of inner alchemy, tasted delicious food together, and traveled to Huangzhou together.

Before leaving, he asked Jiang Weichen to take off his disguise. The moment he knew that Jiang Weichen was the big devil in the world, he was stunned for a long time.

Chapter 351 Willing Power

Jiang Weichen thought he was going to walk away, pretending he didn't know him, but he said, "You are very different from what the rumors say."

The rumored Jiang Weichen was simply the incarnation of the devil, having killed countless people, but the Jiang Weichen he met was polite, knowledgeable, and calm, completely two different people.

After bidding farewell to Su Dongpo, Jiang Weichen continued his travels. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Jiang Weichen finally summarized his feelings along the way and summed up a set of visualization methods: Lingyu Tuoxin Guan.

Ling means mind, Yu means everything in the universe, and Tuo Xin means to develop and strengthen the mind.

Contemplate everything in the world with your heart, strengthen your mind, and open up a void space in your heart. Jiang Weichen named it: Heart Palace.

Then strengthen the mind, and eventually the source of the soul will be born within the heart palace. If the source of the heart does not dry up, the power of the soul will not diminish.

Essence resides in the lower dantian, qi resides in the middle dantian, spirit resides in the upper dantian, and the mind naturally resides in the heart palace.

Now, with his spiritual realm, he has visualized the heart palace in his mind. Although the heart source has not yet been born, his spiritual power has become even stronger. Now he does not need to practice visualization, but can directly enter the state of meditation and introspection.

But in order to give birth to his heart source, he needs more experience and knowledge, he needs to take in all the mountains and rivers, and experience all kinds of life. This may take several years.

He was traveling and understanding the world, while using medicinal liquids to practice and improve his realm.

But now he needs to stay for a while because he has arrived at Qingyun Temple.

When they reached Qingyun Mountain, Yang Shuyu and Qing Yi didn't recognize him. When Jiang Weichen took off his realistic mask, Yang Shuyu was pleasantly surprised and said, "Brother Jiang, you're finally here."

A year ago, Brother Jiang wrote back to Taoist Qingyun and then disappeared without a trace, as if he had disappeared from the world.

Jiang Weichen looked at the graceful Yang Shuyu and smiled, "Shuyu has grown up. I went out to practice cultivation before. Are you and your grandson living here happily?"

"Brother Jiang, it's great here. There's no intrigue or other troubles. We are self-sufficient. My grandfather likes this kind of life very much." Yang Shuyu replied.

"That's good." Jiang Weichen said and walked over and rubbed Qing Yi's hair.

Qing Yi struggled, but seemed to be restrained by something and could not escape. He immediately shouted, "Let me go. I am already twelve years old. How can I let you trample on me at will?"

Jiang Weichen looked at Qing Yi and said with a smile, "You are twelve years old and still haven't broken through to the Xiantian realm. It's a waste of the medicinal baths your master and I gave you when you were little.

Now that your master is crippled, how long will it take you to break through and take up the banner of Qingyun Temple?"

Qing Yi started practicing at the age of six, but at the age of four or five he began taking medicinal baths to slowly strengthen his body's vitality.

The foundation is extremely solid, and you only need to do a little exercise and stretch your muscles and bones to practice internal skills directly.

With a solid foundation and ample skills, it was easy for him to cultivate to the acquired realm.

But six years passed, and he had cultivated to perfection in the acquired realm, but he still hadn't found the energy to break through the innate realm, and was stuck at this bottleneck.

Jiang Weichen started to strengthen his body at the age of nine and began to practice internal skills at the age of ten. With the support of resources, he broke through to the half-step innate realm in more than three years. Qing Yi is the only disciple of Taoist Qingyun. If he cannot break through to the innate realm, Taoist Qingyun will surely be disappointed.

Qing Yi felt a little disappointed after hearing this, and then said: "I will definitely break through."

His words were firm and he seemed very confident.

Jiang Weichen didn't care. If he couldn't break through, he wouldn't mind using Kunlun's spiritual peach to help him like Wang Zhaohui did.

"Where is your master?" Jiang Weichen asked as he walked.

Yang Shuyu interrupted, "The Taoist priest and my grandfather are playing chess in the back mountain."

After hearing this, Jiang Weichen walked towards the back mountain. A voice could be heard from behind him, "Sister Shuyu, don't you always talk about the God of Death? Come on, follow him!"

"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll prick you with a silver needle and use you to practice my new medical skills..."

Jiang Weichen had very good hearing. When he heard this, his heart moved, but he pretended not to hear it and walked towards the back mountain with steady steps.

When we arrived at the back mountain, we saw two old men drinking tea and playing chess in a pavilion by the lake. This small pond was dug by Taoist Qingyun to plant lotus in order to practice his Qinglian visualization method.

However, it is now the first month of the lunar year and the flowering season has not yet arrived. The entire pond is deserted, with only a few fish swimming occasionally.

Jiang Weichen's arrival surprised both of them, as Jiang Weichen had been out of contact for too long.

"Finally there is news about you, old Taoist priest. I thought you were dead somewhere." Taoist priest Qingyun said with a smile.

Jiang Weichen bowed and said, "How could that be? I was just hiding to cultivate. Now I heard that the Taoist's Dantian was destroyed, so I came to take a look."

Taoist Qingyun said angrily: "What? You came to laugh at me? You provoked Murong Longcheng, and then you hid away to practice, letting me take the blame for you."

"Alas..." Jiang Weichen sighed and said helplessly, "How could I have known that he would become so powerful? I fought him outside Yangcheng more than two years ago, and he wasn't that strong.

Chu Tiange alone is no match for him, but there is also a eunuch in the palace who practices the [Sunflower Manual]. I don't think he can make any waves in the heart of the Song Dynasty."

Taoist Qingyun sighed, "You know that Murong Longcheng has grasped the state of compassion. His decades in Shaolin weren't in vain. He now seems to have mastered the use of his willpower, and his realm has returned to the late Grandmaster stage."

Today, there are statues of him everywhere in the world, and people kneel down to pray for him. There is accumulated power of vows in each statue.

He went to absorb it once a year, and through his powerful mind he forcibly controlled the wishes of all the people, and then forcibly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and locked the leakage of energy through his powerful will.

Furthermore, he was already a late Grandmaster, and his spiritual awareness had already reached the breakthrough requirements. He had also long since grasped the realm of artistic conception. Now, all he had to do was accumulate enough true essence to achieve the breakthrough to the Celestial Realm."

After saying this, Taoist Qingyun sighed and continued, "After he breaks through, no one in this world may be his opponent."

Jiang Weichen frowned. He had already guessed that the Buddha statues scattered all over the place were used by Murong Longcheng to collect the power of vows.

Murong Longcheng used his willpower to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and also used his willpower to prevent the energy from leaking out.

The power of vows is actually a kind of spiritual power, which can only be condensed through the sincere prayers of believers.

It seems that I was right to follow the spiritual path. Murong Longcheng was absorbing other people's minds and locking their energy, while I was strengthening my body, mind and spirit.

"Master, willpower, a power born from the human mind, is strictly speaking mostly desires and is not pure. Murong Longcheng dares to absorb this power so recklessly. Could it be that he has found a way to purify it?"

The absorbed power of others will be affected by the divine will within it. For example, after Murong Fu practiced the [Northern Divine Art], his personality was affected.

This directly absorbs the power of wishes. If one is not careful with the countless desires, the consequences will be very serious.

Taoist Qingyun shook his head and said, "Of course, you can't absorb it carelessly. Murong Longcheng probably hasn't found a solution because he has been affected.

During the Battle of Xishan Island, although Murong Longcheng had obsessions, his temperament was not extreme.

But since he absorbed the power of vows, his temperament has changed. During the battle outside the city of Bianliang, according to Taoist Brother Zi Yang, his personality has changed a lot.

Now the people of the entire Dayan territory provide him with willpower, and he absorbs it once a year. If this continues, he will sooner or later have problems.

If he loses control, no one will be able to control him at his celestial level, and the harm he will cause will be even greater."

"Is Murong Longcheng playing with fire?" Jiang Weichen originally wanted to learn some of Murong Longcheng's methods, but now it seems safer to follow his own way of internal strengthening.

However, Murong Longcheng has found a way to break the limitations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and found a way to enter the realm of heaven and man.

Although I don't plan to practice using his method, I can still learn from it.

But if he breaks through to the Celestial Realm, then even if I break through to the Grandmaster Realm, I may not be able to defeat him.

With Murong Longcheng's previous strength, if he could break through to the Grandmaster level, he could easily cross the border and kill Murong Longcheng.

But now Murong Longcheng is already in the late stage of Grandmaster. If he breaks through to the Grandmaster level, he should be able to fight with his profound foundation.

But Murong Longcheng has the support of the world's willpower and no bottleneck. By the time he breaks through, he may have become a celestial being.

Murong Longcheng is at the celestial realm, so Jiang Weichen can only do so if he reaches the peak or late stage of the middle stage of the grandmaster.

But he has a profound foundation and strong true energy. If he cannot find a way to lock up the energy, he will not be able to break through to the middle stage of the Grandmaster.

"The way of the mind requires a strong mind. Only a strong mind can compete with the heaven and earth for energy, and control one's own energy so that it does not leak out." Jiang Weichen murmured.

Chapter 352 Medical Saint - Xuan Chenzi

Jiang Weichen no longer worried about Murong Longcheng's strength. For the time being, he didn't want to care about what Murong Longcheng was going to do, nor could he care.

All the helplessness in this world stems from one's own lack of strength. As long as he has enough strength, he can stop it or let it go.

"Master, let me take a look at your injuries. Maybe I can cure them." Jiang Weichen said.

Now his [Heavenly Silkworm Divine Art] has not yet entered the fifth cycle. Although he cannot regenerate severed limbs, the Heavenly Silkworm Original Qi he cultivated with all kinds of herbs and medicines is better than many medicated medicines in healing injuries.

Taoist Qingyun waved his hand and said, "No need. The middle dantian is completely broken and cannot be cured. This is also fate."

Over a year had passed, and Taoist Qingyun had long since accepted the reality and given up hope. Instead, he asked, "How is your cultivation now?"

Jiang Weichen pondered in his heart, his dantian was completely shattered, and the original true qi of the silkworm from the [Fourth Circulation] could not heal it.

As for relying on medical skills, Jiang Weichen has studied it, but not in depth. Perhaps Dr. Sun's medical skills can do it, but he cannot read the inheritance jade slip now that he has no spiritual consciousness.
