I rely on length to cultivate immortality

Li Xiuchang was originally a cook, but now he is a martial artist. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon become an immortal cultivator.

"I'm leaving, Master."

Li Xiuchang waved his sleeves and said goodbye to the old boxer of Nanshan Martial Arts Hall.

"A Chang, when you become an immortal in the future, don't forget your master."

The old boxer took a puff of a pipe, paused, and couldn't help but say: "If the immortal gate doesn't accept you... the door of Nanshan Martial Arts Hall will always be open to you!"

You old man, can't you hope for me?

Li Xiuchang complained in his heart, but his steps became more determined.

It is impossible for him to come back to this Nanshan Martial Arts Hall. He will live again in the world of immortal cultivation. He must cultivate immortality no matter what!

Li Xiuchang is a time traveler. His name in his previous life was Li Xiu, and his name in this life is Li Chang. After crossing over, he thought about it and combined the names of the two lives into one, giving himself a new name "Li Xiuchang".

A new name means a brand new beginning.

Li Xiuchang walked briskly, and each step seemed to be towards the immortal path, heading straight to the City Lord's Mansion of Baiyun City.

Today is the day when the immortals of the Xianchen Sect come to Baiyun City to recruit disciples. All boys and girls over eight years old and under eighteen years old can go to the City Lord's Mansion to test their qualifications.

Those with decent qualifications can follow the immortals to practice in the immortal gate.

Li Xiuchang is still a few months away from turning eighteen, which is considered to be stepping on the threshold.

Those over eighteen years old have completely lost the innate energy brought from their mother's womb, and it will be difficult to start, and their future achievements will be limited.

Those under eight years old... the immortals don't want to take care of children!

Of course, the age limit is not absolute. If you are really talented and have a fairy cloud covering your head, no matter whether you are eight months old or eighty years old, you will be accepted!

The eight months here do not refer to eight months of birth, but to eight months of pregnancy.

It is rumored that some children of destiny who are favored by heaven can attract strange phenomena in the world in the womb. When they are about to give birth, a group of immortals will wait outside the delivery room to rush to accept them as disciples.

However, these have nothing to do with Li Xiuchang. He only hopes that he can successfully join the immortal sect, and he does not have too high expectations for his qualifications.

"It is not a big problem to start with the 'mortal flow'. After all, I have a cheat. As long as I can step into the immortal path, it doesn't matter if I start low." He thought to himself.

When Li Xiuchang arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he found that there was a long queue here. He had to stand at the end of the queue, but he was not anxious.

I have waited for half a year, so it doesn't matter if I wait for a while.

As early as half a year ago, Li Xiuchang heard that there was an immortal from the Xianchen Sect in Baiyun City who was recruiting disciples, so he quit his job as a cook and rushed here from his hometown.

When he arrived in Baiyun City, he found out that it was still half a year before the immortal recruited disciples.

Since he was here, he certainly couldn't just wait for half a year. In the end, he joined Nanshan Martial Arts School and prepared to learn some martial arts.

At first, Nanshan Martial Arts School didn't want him because he was too old and missed the good opportunity to strengthen his bones.

Only after he took out two heavy silver ingots from his bosom did the oldest boxer in the martial arts hall accept him, and treated him more dearly than his own son.

His own son may not be able to provide for his old age, but the silver Li Xiuchang gave him can!

Another reason why Li Xiuchang decided to practice martial arts was because in the mortal cultivation novels he read in his previous life, there were always some settings such as martial arts masters who practiced innate skills were equivalent to Qigong cultivators. He thought that if he had to fight with others in the future, he could also increase his combat power.

But after practicing, he realized that the novels were all lies!

Two months ago, the owner of Nanshan Martial Arts Hall, who claimed to be invincible in Baiyun City, was attacked by a wild boar while outing outside the city, and he still can't get out of bed.

But then again, Li Xiuchang felt that there were also some good points in the cultivation novels he had read, such as the "God of Immortality" and "Steady Immortality" advocated in them, which were very much to his liking.

In the future, when he ventured into the world of immortal cultivation, he also planned to follow the God of Immortality and put stability first.

…

Li Xiuchang had been in line for a while, and the line in front of him didn’t shorten much, but there was another long line behind him.

Because the line was too long, he couldn’t see the situation in front of him. He only saw a dejected boy and girl walking out of the City Lord’s Mansion every once in a while, and the line would follow the front one step further.

Li Xiuchang lined up from the rising sun to the sun at noon, and finally stepped into the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, and finally saw what the "immortal" looked like.

It was not the old man with a fairy-like appearance and white hair and a childlike face as he imagined, but a young man who looked very energetic and didn’t seem to be much older than him.

And he was not arrogant at all, but friendly and smiling to everyone.

Li Xiuchang was not surprised, he knew that "immortal" was just a respectful title for ordinary mortals to cultivators, and this young immortal might just be a disciple with a little experience in the Xianchen Sect.

Li Xiuchang’s attention was quickly attracted by the next child who was testing his qualifications.

On the table in front of the young immortal was a fist-sized, round, white stone, which was a prop used to test qualifications.

The child, who looked about eight or nine years old, took the white round stone with both hands under the guidance of the young immortal and placed it three inches below his navel.

The next second, the white round stone glowed slightly, but then it became silent, without any movement.

The young immortal shook his head: "The spiritual orifice is not open."

The child's eyes dimmed immediately, and he put down the round stone dejectedly. Seeing this, the young immortal even leaned over to comfort him.

"This immortal is approachable, but... no wonder the queue is so slow." Li Xiuchang complained in his heart.

Fortunately, there aren't many people in front of him. As for the long queue behind him, I'm afraid it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Li Xiuchang didn't understand the process of testing his qualifications, and he didn't know what the "spiritual orifice" was, so he continued to observe.

Not long after, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old held up the round stone. The round stone lit up slightly, and then the light became brighter, and a stream of white air was injected into the girl's abdomen.

The girl snorted softly and frowned slightly. After a breath, the white air flow stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a pillar of air slowly rose above the round stone, rising to a height of more than two inches before stopping.

"Not bad!" The young immortal nodded, "With moderate qualifications, you can enter the outer sect."

There was an uproar all around. In this long time, someone with a spiritual aperture finally appeared!

The onlookers looked at the girl with envy in their eyes. The girl herself was also full of joy as she was welcomed into the palace by the servants of the city lord's palace.

"Hey! It's just a middle-grade spiritual aperture. It's still barely achieved. There's nothing to make a fuss about."

The sound was not loud, but Li Xiuchang happened to hear it, because the person who spoke was lined up in front of him, and there were only two people between him and him.

Li Xiuchang looked at the man and saw that he was a tall, fat young man dressed in fine clothes. Judging by his clothes, he knew he must have a good family background and seemed to know a lot about this spiritual orifice test.

Li Xiuchang pondered for a moment and then asked for advice: "This... fellow Taoist, I don't know what this spiritual orifice is, and how to distinguish good from bad?"

The young man in fine clothes originally had a look of impatience on his face, but when he heard Li Xiuchang call him "fellow Taoist", he suddenly laughed.

Being called this way, it seems that he has become a cultivator who is flying high in the clouds. He said happily: "You are an interesting person to talk to. This is the right person to ask this question. Master Dao, I am in a good mood today, so I will talk to you." "

After hearing what he said, several people turned their eyes over and their ears perked up.

The vanity of the handsome boy was greatly satisfied, and he proudly said: "The round stone used to test the qualifications is called the orifice stone. It is a magical weapon specially refined to detect the spiritual orifice. As soon as it is close to the spiritual orifice, a stream of spiritual energy will be injected into it. Entering the spiritual orifice can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the Dantian. Without the spiritual orifice, it is impossible to practice. "

"What does the air pillar rising from the orifice stone mean?" Someone asked Li Xiuchang what he wanted to ask.

"There are naturally three, six or nine levels of spiritual orifices. The high-grade spiritual orifices have a high affinity with spiritual energy and absorb spiritual energy quickly. The low-grade spiritual orifices absorb spiritual energy slowly. The orifice stone judges the spiritual energy based on how much spiritual energy the spiritual orifice absorbs in one breath. Qualifications.

"In one breath, no matter how much spiritual energy the spiritual orifice absorbs, the orifice stone will condense the same amount of spiritual energy into a pillar of air that floats above. If the air pillar is less than two inches, it is a low-grade spiritual orifice; if the air pillar is more than two inches, it is less than four inches. , it is a middle-grade spiritual orifice; if it exceeds four inches, it is a high-grade spiritual orifice!”

So that's it... Li Xiuchang only hoped that he would have a spiritual aperture and be able to practice it, but he didn't have any extravagant expectations for his spiritual aperture qualifications.

But I heard the young man in rich clothes continue to show off: "Low-level Lingqiao can only become a registered disciple after entering the Xianchen Sect. These registered disciples are also called handyman disciples. They chop wood and carry water, hoe and water the fields. All these chores are required." Work. From Si hour to Hai hour, you have to work for six hours a day, with only half an hour for eating, and one day of rest every ten days."

Li Xiuchang's body trembled when he heard this, which brought back some not-so-good memories of his previous life.

He will not be able to enjoy this "blessing" in this life, so he should leave it to others.

Li Xiuchang immediately raised his expectations: a middle-grade spiritual aperture would be enough, and he didn't want to be a handyman disciple.

"What about middle-grade spiritual apertures and high-grade spiritual apertures? What kind of disciple can one become and how are they treated?" someone asked.

"A middle-grade spiritual aperture can enter the outer sect of Xianchen Sect and become an outer disciple, and a high-grade spiritual aperture can become an inner disciple."

The handsomely dressed young man answered casually, but did not elaborate on the responsibilities and treatment of the outer disciples and inner disciples. He didn't know whether he was too lazy to say it or because he didn't know clearly.

Li Xiuchang guessed that he didn't know, otherwise with his show-off temperament, he would definitely not be able to keep it in his mouth.

But he still praised him: "My Taoist friend is knowledgeable and admirable."

The handsomely dressed young man laughed. He still felt that Li Xiuchang was the most pleasing to the eye and his words were nice. He seemed to be modest and said:

"No, no, it's just that there are elders in the family practicing in the Fairy Dust Sect."

"It turns out that Taoist friend comes from an immortal family. I'm disrespectful. I'm disrespectful." Li Xiuchang paid a lot of compliments for free. In the world of immortality, he must be kind to others and make good friends.

Li Xiuchang knew very well that the young man in Chinese robes had a clear understanding of the responsibilities of the handyman disciples, but he did not know much about the treatment of the outer and inner sect disciples. The elder in his family was probably also a handyman disciple.

Soon, it was the young man's turn to step forward to test his qualifications. Hearing a burst of exclamations from those around him, a column of air more than four inches high rose up from the aperture stone in the young man's hand!

Top grade spiritual acupoints!

The handsomely dressed young man had only pride on his face, no surprise. He obviously knew the result.

The young immortal's face was filled with a sincere smile: "Congratulations, junior brother, you have a top-grade spiritual aperture and you are expected to become an inner disciple of my Immortal Dust Sect."

The young man in gorgeous clothes was humble and polite in front of the young immortal. He cupped his hands and said, "I am Pang Yuanfu. What do you call me, senior?"

The young immortal said gently: "My name is Song Yu. I started decades earlier than you. You can just call me 'Senior Brother Song'."

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Pang Yuanfu, a young man in fine clothes, entered the city lord's palace with a round belly.

The qualification test is still going on. As expected, the two people in front of Li Xiuchang have no spiritual skills. It will soon be his turn.

Li Xiuchang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He walked to the table and stood still. He first bowed to Song Yu, then picked up the acupoint stone and put it close to his navel three inches below, which is the Dantian position.

The acupoint stone lit up, and then Li Xiuchang felt a warmth in his lower abdomen. He looked down and saw a stream of air flowing from the acupoint stone into his Dantian.

Fortunately, there is a spiritual acupoint... Li Xiuchang breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it depends on the spiritual acupoint qualification.

After a breath, the acupoint stone stopped injecting spiritual energy, but Li Xiuchang still felt warm in his abdomen and felt very comfortable.

He stared at the acupoint stone in his hand until a column of air slowly rose above the acupoint stone.

The air column quickly broke through an inch high and continued to climb.

But when it rose to one and a half inches, it seemed to be exhausted, and the rise slowed down significantly.

From this point of view, it should not break two inches, which means that Li Xiuchang is only a low-grade spiritual acupoint, and he can only enjoy the blessing of joining the Xianchen Sect.

But at this moment, the air column suddenly jumped up with a force from somewhere, and grew another inch!

The air column is two and a half inches long, with medium qualifications, and can enter the outer sect!

"Not bad, a medium-grade spiritual orifice, you can become an outer sect disciple of my Xianchen Sect."

Song Yu took the orifice stone, turned it over and over in his hand, and put it on the table again, thinking that this orifice stone might have been used for a long time and was not very sensitive.

Li Xiuchang breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at a string of numbers in the lower left corner of his vision that only he could see.

The number "2.13" originally displayed there changed to "1.13" after the air column grew one inch taller.
