Fantasy: Immortality starts with absorbing demons

Thinking of this, Zhong Yunxiu sighed. If it were changed to the past, this matter would not be a problem at all.

In Yunzhou, Yuanmiao Sect is undoubtedly the strongest and suppresses everything. Under the Yuanmiao Sect, the five major forces, Wanhua Palace, Sanshan Sect, Jingtianzhuang, Shouyi Temple, and Yunzhou Prefecture Army, were equally divided. Each had its own peak period, and all had their glorious moments.

Jingtian Village has had the upper hand before and has been the leader among the five major forces.

However, since that incident, Jingtian Village has declined year by year and is not as strong as the Sanshan Sect.

But Zhong Yunxiu, who is one of the Seven Elites of Jingtian, is not as effective as Chen Ying in terms of strength and status.

In addition, Chen Ying, the Eagle Claw King, has a close friendship with the deputy owner of Jingtian Village.

If this matter comes to pass, there is no doubt that it will greatly bring the relationship between the two sects closer, allowing the sinking ship of Jingtianzhuang to breathe again and have the opportunity to rise again.

Therefore, the deputy sect leader Fang He not only agreed, but also personally came to persuade Zhong Yunxiu many times, and even used the power of the deputy sect owner to limit the resources of Jiuquyuan, hoping to force Zhong Yunxiu to bow his head and agree to submit, and betroth his daughter Zhong Han to Son of Chen Ying.

This matter has been going on for a while. A year ago, Fang He personally brought Chen Ying here to propose marriage.

But Zhong Yunxiu still resisted the pressure, resisted life and death, and never relented and agreed.

"Oh, Brother Tian, ​​it would be great if you were still here..." She looked at the sparkling water. Under the lake, there were swimmers spitting bubbles and making ripples. The fish frowned and sighed.

With this frown, two ravines suddenly appeared on his forehead, which seemed inconsistent with his bright and beautiful appearance.

After a martial artist opens his meridians and enters his energy, his lifespan will be increased by more than twenty years, and his youthful appearance can be maintained for decades.

It stands to reason that Zhong Yunxiu is very powerful. She has been able to connect her veins and energy many years ago. Now she is only one step away from becoming a master. She is only in her forties, so she should not be so old.

But now, under the worry and worry, the wrinkles on the forehead appear, which is obviously caused by too much worry and distress.

Whoosh!

At this time, the bird with black beak and white feathers took advantage of the moment when the fish swimming in the lake were breathing and foaming, and swooped down like an arrow. When it was about to approach the water, it grabbed hard. In an instant, it was as long as a small arm, The big fish was caught with its tail swung and splashing water.

Zhong Yunxiu watched the big fish thrown on the shore struggling at first, but gradually lost its vitality due to lack of air, and remained silent.

She felt like she was similar to this fish, with huge pressure coming from all directions, squeezing her without any gaps and no chance to breathe.

But she still has to be strong and remain as strong as she has been for the past ten years.

She cannot fall, because behind her is her daughter...

--------------------------------------------------

In the early morning, the scorching sun seems to have not yet risen, and the delicate petals still covered with dew are shaking under the influence of gravity.

Tick ​​tock!

As the morning dew accumulated, soon the little red flower was overwhelmed and bent down, and the colorful dewdrops suddenly fell and hit the little flower.

There was a snap.

Before the black bug could absorb the dew, a big black boot hurriedly kicked it, crushing the bug and the dew.

Han Yi kept walking and walked quickly. After leaving his residence, he followed the path by the lake and walked towards the outer courtyard of Jingtianzhuang.

The reason why he was so anxious was because the disciples in the outer courtyard distributed cultivation medicine soup every morning. If he arrived late, not even the dregs of the medicine would be left.

Time flies.

The years of practice seem to have left no trace.

More than two months have passed since he passed the exam that day. During this time, he found a house in Tianjing Town and lived temporarily.

Tianjing Town is a gathering place for common people near Jingtian Village. It is a village formed by serving the many martial practitioners in Jingtian Village and the foreign martial artists who come to become apprentices.

The outer disciples are not really members of Jingtian Village. Only when they obtain the approval of the head of the academy and officially join the inner academy can they be considered as one of their own in the true sense. Only then will many inner benefits be paid out.

Therefore, before that, Han Yi, as an outer disciple, needed to take care of his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he chose to rent a small yard in the nearby Tianjing Town.

Of course, it is not that there are no free rooms inside Jingtian Village. Most of the outer disciples live near the outer courtyard. This is convenient for daily practice and they can receive the practice medicine soup without having to get up early.

Secondly, it is convenient to make friends. Maybe if you meet a good friend, you may have a relationship with the inner courtyard. It is also possible that if you take a walk at night, you will meet a high-level person like the head of the courtyard, which will make it easier to get started.

It's not that Han Yi doesn't want to live near the outer courtyard, but in terms of price...it's not a little bit expensive.

The poor are educated and the rich are practicing martial arts. When martial artists practice, they really spend money like water.

There is no salary or welfare for the disciples in the outer courtyard. Everything here has to be bought with money and one's own savings.

But most of his money was lost in Yuanmiao Sect, and none of these things, such as eating, drinking, and drinking, did not require money?

All expenses can be saved as much as possible, but there is one thing that he cannot save on the maintenance of the martial artist's energy and blood.

For the past two months, he had to buy a certain amount of monster meat every day to keep the total amount of Qi and blood stable and prevent decline.

He couldn't save money on food, so he had to save money on clothing, housing and transportation as much as possible, and could only choose to live in Tianjing Town.

In this way, despite such frugality, his wallet became drier day by day, with less and less money, and more and more boredom in his heart.

Spending without earning, eating up the mountain, is the best description of him now.

Han Yi quickly passed by the fragrant red flowers on both sides of the road, startling a flock of birds by the lake.

There are two conditions for the outer courtyard disciples to be promoted to the inner courtyard disciples. One is to cultivate to the level of martial arts master, and the second is to practice a special body-building method, the real body-building method.

He has already met the first condition. What is lacking is the second requirement.

This body-building method is not a martial arts method, and does not involve strength and Qi and blood. It is just an external skill that develops the body's flexibility, dexterity and strength by moving the muscles and bones of several parts of the body.

This is also a necessary condition for outer disciples to enter the inner courtyard and practice true skills. If you can't master this method, it means that this person's physique is not compatible with Jingtian Manor's true skills and cannot enter the inner courtyard.

Although the money is almost gone, fortunately, it's not all bad news. He is vaguely about to find the trick of this true skill body-building method.

Following the crooked lakeside path with small flowers and grass on both sides and paved with cobblestones, soon, a large gray building complex surrounded by the lake on three sides came into view.

This is the headquarters of Jingtian Manor, the lineage of the manor owner, and most of the core buildings.

Because it is surrounded by the lake on three sides, there are many kinds of flowers called string red growing on the lakeside, densely packed, surrounding a circle, it is very lively, with water and flowers, so this place is given a very literary name, Huahu Bieyuan.

Huahu is the lake outside Jingtian Manor. There are seven lakes of different sizes connected to each other, like a flower bud opening, sparkling like pearls, and there are seven courtyard heads occupying one place each.

In the courtyard beside Huahu, on the right side close to the lake, there is a dojo paved with gray floor tiles, which is considered the place for the outer courtyard disciples to practice and cultivate.

At this time, a long line was formed in the dojo, and a large wooden barrel was placed at the front of the line. In the line, each outer disciple held a container in his hand, waiting for a bowl of medicine soup every day.

Seeing this, Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Without holding a knife, he quickly took out a bowl from the locker beside him and lined up.

The person in charge of the medicine soup was a middle-aged aunt. She took a round wooden spoon and scooped the steaming red liquid in the bucket into everyone's bowl. Although the bowls brought by everyone were large and small, she always filled it with two spoons, no more and no less.

Soon, the line in front was finished, and it was Han Yi's turn.

The red liquid was steaming and swirling in the bowl.

Han Yi took a breath, picked up the medicine soup while it was still hot, and drank it all.

This medicine soup cannot be savored carefully, it must be drunk while it is hot. If it is cold, it will have a foul smell, and I don’t know what ingredients are used to make it.

The liquid went down the esophagus into the stomach, and soon, waves of itching appeared inside the body.

"One go!" While the medicine was still effective, Han Yi decided to master this body-building method thoroughly today.

He stood in the corner, took a deep breath, stood up straight, put his hands together in front of his chest, and slowly squatted down.

As the waist and hips stretched, gradually, the hip muscles began to feel a tearing sensation, but the medicine soup immediately took effect and soothed the muscles.

Han Yi endured the discomfort and continued to pull down, finally his elbows against the inside of his knees, maintaining three breaths, and then slowly closed the exercise and changed his posture.

This kind of body-building method is similar to the so-called yoga in the previous life. It exercises small local muscles or fine muscle groups that normal people can't even think of or use.

At the beginning, Han Yi could only do one movement, and mobilized many small muscle groups that were not used in daily life, and felt sore and painful, and could not last long.

Not only that, the tricks and steps recorded in this body-building method are also very strange. In each step, you have to exert force in the most difficult place to exert force, and if you are not careful, you will cause muscle strain.

Although he has Qianyang Gong, after the rejuvenation characteristics are activated, the force can be restored by circulating in the broken small muscle groups, but the fatigue generated in the body still exists. This is also an important reason why he still hasn't mastered it after more than two months.

In fact, Han Yi's progress in body-building is not slow in the entire outer courtyard, and even belongs to the upper-middle level.

After all, most of the people in this outer courtyard are casual cultivators who practice different martial arts, basically at the bone and blood refining levels.

There are also martial artists, but not many.

Among the nearly 100 people in the outer courtyard, there are only a few who can reach the level of a second-level martial artist, like Han Yi. The others have just broken through to the level of martial artists.

The main reason is that Han Yi is too impatient. He has to be so impatient if he wants to master the real bodybuilding method quickly.

There is no other way. He doesn't have enough money. If he continues to rely on this, he will really have to eat dirt!

"Spread your knees slightly wider than your hips, concentrate your mind, calm your mind, and swirl your qi into the void..." Han Yi silently recited the formula in his mind and took a stance.

This is the last move of the bodybuilding method. If you can do it in one breath, it can be considered a preliminary mastery.

He crossed his palms, clasped them outwards, and bent his waist backwards, making a weird twisted movement.

Crack, crack.

The joints of the bones in his body and many tiny bones that could not be touched suddenly made a sound of being overwhelmed.

He took a deep breath and kept this posture.

After just a moment, his body began to sweat, and he felt his skin and flesh tightening, and the soreness in his body accumulated rapidly.

He maintained this for a while, and the blood in his body also flowed with difficulty with this weird posture, and even made a low humming sound like an old car climbing a hill.

Han Yi moved again, and his body began to slowly press down. At this time, he felt his heartbeat faster and faster, banging, and it was almost jumping out of his chest.

But he had no expression on his face and continued to twist his body into a weird posture.

A lot of hot sweat flowed out, flowing down his forehead, blurring his eyes, and there was a mist in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

But he didn't need to see, and he couldn't see.

Because there was nothing in his sight, only darkness.

The humming sound of the surging blood and qi became louder and louder, more and more obvious, as if someone stepped on the accelerator, and if he used more force, it would burst out.

Han Yi's mind was also in chaos, and he felt a little dizzy. He had only one thought, to master the real body-building method.

Bang!

He changed his hands, supported himself on the ground, and suddenly pressed down, and his entire upper and lower body formed a right angle of almost 90 degrees.

Boom!

The large amount of blood and qi entangled at the end of the blood vessels suddenly burst out, and a large amount of blood and qi quickly flowed throughout the body, and an indescribable feeling of comfort spread throughout the body.

"Finally... it's done..." Han Yi's eyes regained normal vision, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground, breathing in the fresh air by the lake.

It took more than two months, and he finally met the basic requirements for entering the inner courtyard.

"The body is already built, and the next step is to see if the head of the hospital who signed up before accepts it. If everything goes well, the rest is to enter the inner courtyard..." After a break, he sat up and thought about his future plans.

In the Flower Lake, the mist was dancing. The mist had not completely dissipated. The layers of ripples were constantly rippling on the lake surface, and the grass by the lake was a little wet.

But he just liked this environment. He was still like a child, and he liked playing in the water. He had a natural closeness to the Flower Lake, and he also liked to take the fresh breath of water vapor into his nose and empty his brain.

He liked this place, and he also wanted to enter the inner courtyard and stay here.
