I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

What! ! !

"Impossible, this is the most basic stuff, it's something you should learn during the Qi Refining Stage. If you don't know how to gather Qi, how could you have reached your current level just by meditating and enduring?"

Shan Yunhe was confused. She wondered if Tangtang was the legendary ascetic monk?

But the little girl eats and drinks well every day, which doesn’t look like it at all.

“It wasn’t that hard.”

The girl recalled her own practice experience and said with a smile: "Tangtang has been traveling everywhere and has become more powerful without realizing it."

Yes, is it?

Shan Yunhe still didn't quite believe it, but the art of gathering qi had already become a common thing, and since the little girl wanted to learn it, he might as well teach her.

With some difficulty in letting go, the crane demon casually taught the art of gathering energy to Tangtang.

The Qi Gathering Technique has an ordinary name, and its effect is also ordinary in the eyes of today's cultivators.

Isn't it just about absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to increase your cultivation?

No one thought it was surprising.

But in Tangtang's opinion, this strange skill is simply amazing and is definitely the key to opening a new door.

After receiving instruction from Shan Yunhe, she was so excited that tears came to her eyes.

"Tangtang, you are exaggerating. Why are you crying for no reason?"

"Amazing wisdom. Suck it. Tangtang, Tangtang feels the amazing wisdom of the ancient sages."

The little girl's tears kept streaming down her face. After she bowed deeply to Shan Yunhe, she immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and concentrated on comprehending the Qi-gathering technique.

...........

Is this, entering into a state of meditation?

Shan Yunhe was busy until noon and returned to the room. He found that the little girl was still sitting cross-legged, as if she had completely lost all sense of the outside world.

She thinks this kind of concentration has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it greatly improves gas extraction efficiency, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to deal with sudden attacks.

When Shan Yunhe was gathering energy, he never dared to be so focused.

'Strange, why does it feel like Tangtang's energy-gathering state is different from mine?'

It's not just a difference in concentration, there's a deeper difference.

She was not in a hurry to call the little girl to eat, but found a stool to sit down and looked at her curiously.

The more he looked at it, the more Shan Yunhe felt a sense of peace in his heart.

At this moment, a few sparrows chirped and flew in from outside the window, and they naturally landed on the little girl's shoulders.

After playing for a while, the sparrows jumped onto Tangtang's head.

The little girl didn't move at all, but the amplitude of her breathing became slower and slower, eventually maintaining a fixed frequency.

After her eyelashes fluttered slightly, Tangtang opened her eyes.

She looked at Shan Yunhe and didn't speak for a while.

After a cup of tea, the playful sparrows flew away from the little girl's head.

She then stood up and stretched her arms and legs, but still did not speak.

Shan Yunhe noticed that Tangtang's breathing rate did not change, whether she opened her eyes or moved her hands and feet.

A slightly absurd thought emerged in Crane Demon's mind, and she couldn't help but ask, "Tangtang, are you still gathering energy now?"

"kindness"

After uttering a brief syllable, the little girl seemed to have adapted to her current situation.

She smiled and said, "It's troublesome to meditate all the time. It's better to do it this way now."

...........

Shan Yunhe was just in a daze when he heard the little girl's puzzled voice: "Even though you have been meditating for such a long time, Tangtang doesn't seem to be hungry or thirsty at all."

"That's right, Qigong can significantly reduce the body's need for food."

The crane demon said tentatively: "If you can reach the legendary state of 'not being bound by form' and 'being able to increase your cultivation with every breath', then you can go without food or water for your entire life."

"Eh"

The little girl showed a troubled expression when she heard this: "Tangtang can't eat delicious food anymore? This won't do."

As she spoke, her regular breathing rate suddenly became disordered.

Shan Yunhe was stunned for a long while before she excitedly grabbed the girl's shoulders and shook her: "Don't be chaotic, don't be chaotic, hold on! I said it's okay not to eat or drink water, I didn't say you can't eat or drink water! Can you find the feeling again?"

"Yes, it's okay."

The little girl felt dizzy from being shaken, and she quickly re-entered the state of the twelve-hour Qi-gathering technique.

Chapter 020: Destined Lifespan

"Tangtang, please teach me!"

Before, the little girl asked Shan Yunhe for advice, but now the situation is completely reversed.

Tangtang naturally did not hide anything and shared her experience enthusiastically.

"Just keep the frequency? I've already managed to keep my breathing steady, why not!"

Shan Yunhe was very anxious and even a little out of control.

“It’s not just the breathing rate, but a state and feeling of the whole body and mind.”

Tangtang tried hard to explain, but after explaining for a long time, the crane demon still couldn't get the point.

She was so anxious that she couldn't even maintain her breathing rate.

"Tangtang, can't you just not deliberately maintain that state or feeling you mentioned?"

This was originally a complaint from Shan Yunhe in a hurry, but the little girl fell into deep thought after hearing it.

After a long time without any response, the crane demon apologized, "Ah, I was too anxious just now. If it doesn't work, I'll try again. Tangtang, don't take it to heart."

"No no"

Tangtang waved her hands and said, "Sister Shan, what you said makes sense. Since it is 'not bound by form', there seems to be no need to deliberately maintain a certain state."

As she spoke, the little girl's breathing became disordered again, but she was still practicing the Qi-gathering technique all the time.

"Haha, don't be deliberate. You should integrate practice into your life."

"..."

Shan Yunhe stared at the little girl blankly and suddenly became distraught.

Tangtang can comprehend new realms while chatting and laughing. Such talent is absolutely beyond my reach.

Therefore, what the little girl can do easily, I may not be able to do no matter what.

"What's taking you so long? I've finished eating, come and eat now."

The proprietress came hurriedly over, urged a few words, and then quickly went back to the stall to continue working.

.....

After Mo Mo finished his meal, Shan Yunhe regained his spirits.

At this time, the little girl asked her about the true relationship between her and the proprietress, and the crane demon answered truthfully.

"I used to be her employee. After getting along for a long time, she was afraid that I would be bullied by others because I was helpless, so she told me to call myself her distant niece."

What Shan Yunhe meant was that he had never revealed his identity as a demon to the old lady.

But this is not the point!

"Sister Shan, a powerful practitioner like you would work to earn money. This is the first time Tangtang has seen this in all her long travels." The little girl said in amazement.

Working to make money?

That's not the case.

Shan Yunhe shook his head and said, "Tangtang, you misunderstood. I don't work for the little money every month, but I want to experience a different life in the end."

What does "most" mean?

Tangtang asked hurriedly, but the crane demon smiled and said, "Sister, I am already 120 years old this year. The life span of a great demon is only 150 years. Unless you make another breakthrough, you will die in at most 30 years."

Shan Yunhe had already realized his limits, and making further breakthroughs... was almost impossible.

So why not be happier, escape from the barbaric, bloody life where you do everything for the sake of self-cultivation, and enjoy the worldly life?

A great demon who is no less powerful than Xiaobai, has a lifespan of only 150 years?

Although, although it was quite a long time, the little girl's mood suddenly became depressed.

"Haha, it's not like you only have three days left to live. It's thirty days. Sister still has thirty years to live!"

Shan Yunhe said cheerfully: "I want to experience all the life that I have never experienced before. I want to get married, take care of my husband and children, read a lot of books, and yes, I also want to learn embroidery."

embroidery?

"Tangtang knows how to embroider. Tangtang will teach you!"

.....

Shan Yunhe's words deeply touched the little girl. She felt that no matter whether one is human or not, one should not waste time on meaningless things.

After returning to the shabby house, Tangtang did not see the scholar, but saw a note on the table.

[I'm going to visit my classmates and will be back later.]

Should he be going to visit the scholar named Yao Xi?

It seemed as if he had been badly harmed by the two book demons.

"Well, Tangtang knows!"

The little girl said something to the note and began to call out to Xiaobai.

After a long time, the relic with a dragon pattern on its surface floated out slowly.

"Tangtang thinks that since we have come to this strange place together, we should unite together."

The little girl said seriously: "Stop fighting and doing meaningless things."

With a flash of green light, a dragon flew out.

A white light flashed, and the White Bone Goddess vigilantly stood in front of Tangtang.

The green dragon roared at the little girl a few times, which could be summed up in two words - freedom!

"Tangtang didn't restrict your freedom."

Hearing this, Qing Jiao roared a few more times in annoyance.

[It's useless. As long as you can force it to do something, it will feel like it has become your slave.]

Xiaobai's evil spirit formed words, and these words were the characters of the Dajin area.

In order to suppress Qing Jiao, she has had little presence recently.

But what Tangtang experienced was actually also experienced by the White Bone Goddess.

So she not only learned the writing of the Great Jin Dynasty, but also learned the art of gathering qi.

[No more fighting, let's stop the war first! ]

Xiaobai stared at Qing Jiao and said that he really wanted to try the effect of Qi Gathering Technique.

The dragon hesitated for a moment, then nodded decisively in agreement.

When Shan Yunhe was teaching the little girl the art of gathering energy, not only was Xiaobai listening, but she was also listening with great interest.

How can you learn such a strange skill but not try out its effects?

.....

After the two sides agreed to stop fighting, Qing Jiao first assumed a comfortable position and began to concentrate on trying to gather energy.

Seeing this, Xiaobai was stunned.
