Journey To Longevity

Zhang Shiping took his fingers out of the flames, rolled up his sleeves, and slashed lightly on his forearm with a finger knife, creating a wound less than half an inch.

A trace of blood like lead and mercury just came out of the wound, and then he immediately picked up the brocade handkerchief and wiped away the blood, so how can there be any wound?

In just one or two breaths of time, the wound was completely healed, and the wound was completely invisible. Of course, this was also related to the small wound. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the lamp didn't respond to any external objects, Zhang Shiping wouldn't have experimented with his own body.

After ignoring the miraculous effect of the bronze lamp on wound healing, its most important thing is to greatly increase the speed of Zhang Shiping's absorption of refining spiritual energy and help him practice. As for the speed of a monk's practice, regardless of external spiritual energy, medicine pills and other foreign objects, it almost depends on his own spiritual root aptitude.

Therefore, Zhang Shiping felt in his heart that the wick was very likely to be the so-called spiritual root, and this was only his speculation.

In the world of cultivating immortals, Zhang Shiping has never heard of anyone seeing the spiritual root with his own eyes, and even in ancient books, there is no actual record of it.

As for spiritual roots, there are more endless debates, that is, in ancient times, when the world of cultivating immortals was at its peak, and great powers emerged in large numbers, everyone had their own opinions, and there was no final conclusion.

But when Zhang Shiping read many ancient books of Xuanyuanzong, he once read an anecdote. What is recorded above is the life of a famous blood demon at that time. The man once said, "The soul is united, and the one is inseparable." Zhang Shiping especially remembers it deeply.

This 'yingpo' means 'soul'. In ancient and modern times, this kind of small word meaning change is nothing more than normal. Some of the names of the medicines written in the ancient prescriptions have never been heard of by monks today, but it is very likely that they have just changed their names not because the elixir is extinct.

However, if the meaning of the word is slightly different, it will be lost by thousands of miles. Therefore, if the monks have obtained some ancient cultivation method, they will practice it after studying it thoroughly. Therefore, those who are reckless and vulgar, lacking in knowledge, and only know how to fight and kill, are in the world. There is no long way to go on the road of longevity.

Zhang Shiping read it carefully, and it can be seen from the lines that the senior Xuanyuanzong who recorded this matter obviously agrees with what the blood demon said. Then the senior of the sect speculated that the reason why the blood demon made such a statement may be because it has something to do with ghost cultivation and seizing the house.

Because if a monk encounters unexpected events and his physical body is destroyed, but his spirit and soul are lucky enough to survive, then he can turn to ghost cultivation in the future, or he can take his body and be reborn.

It's just that no matter how you choose, the practice of these monks has almost become extremely difficult, and it is difficult to make any progress in the realm.

Therefore, the blood demon deduced that the spiritual root is a kind of connection between the soul and the soul, and it is a thing of reality, life and death, and disillusionment. Both ghost cultivation and seizing the house, the "soul" remains unchanged, but the "spirit" is lacking, which damages the spiritual root, so that the practice will be slow in the future, and the realm will be difficult to rise.

In fact, the first half of the statement is quite normal in the world of cultivating immortals, and there is no suspicion of deviant. However, the second half of the words recorded next opened Zhang Shiping's eyes, saying that this person's thinking is really unconstrained.

This person imagined that if he used his own soul and blood as a guide, he could avoid the mystery of the womb with secret methods, regain the mystery of giving birth to a living being, and then embrace everything without separation, then he would be able to recreate himself and divide into thousands.

According to the Gorefiend, this avatar is exactly the same as the deity in terms of spiritual roots, personality, and memory, and there is no hidden danger of turning away from others, so that one can achieve a different kind of longevity without becoming a fairy, which is the secret of immortality.

At that time, this person was called a blood demon because he used all means to complete this method and provoked the anger and resentment of the heaven and earth in the world of cultivating immortals at that time. In the end, it was recorded that this person did not know what he did, which caused the true spirit phoenix to be furious. Since then, the whereabouts of this blood demon have been unknown.

After reading the records in the classics, Zhang Shiping saw that this person could be called a blood demon. He must have been a giant in the world of cultivating immortals at that time, and his actions should be extremely arrogant, but these are extremely ancient things. What was written about "angry with the sky and people with resentment" and "do all kinds of evil" were just a few cold words after all.

Zhang Shiping didn't want to be a sympathetic person. Instead, he subconsciously wondered whether this person has completed the magic of longevity in the end, because even if they are exactly the same person, they have different life experiences, and the heights they can reach are naturally different. . If he can become a Mahayana in this life, how can he guarantee that he will have the same cultivation level in the next life?

This method of longevity in seconds is still very early for Zhang Shiping today, he himself has not even condensed the Nascent Soul,

...

...

While he was meditating, the sky became a little brighter.

In the distance, the sun has jumped out of the gray sea, the morning glow is purple, and the sun is gradually golden.

In the quiet room, Zhang Shiping felt the yang energy rising between the heaven and the earth. He put away the bronze lamp, left the mansion, and flew towards the 'Yangxin Garden'. After a cup of tea, he fell slowly in front of the garden.

"Greetings to the elder." There were already five Jianji stewards waiting in front of the door, and when they saw Zhang Shiping flying down, they quickly saluted and said hello.

"Come in." Zhang Shiping passed the five people.

After so many years, these stewards also understood the temper of the elder in front of them, and the five immediately followed him in.

Zhang Shiping sat down on the main seat, and said lightly: "You all sit down too. What's the matter these days when I'm not here? Boxu, tell me first."

A middle-aged foundation-building monk with a sallow complexion stood up immediately. He didn't say much flattery and superfluous words, but succinctly told what happened after he left, and various panacea number.

Nothing happened in the past few days, and everything was still in order. Zhang Shiping nodded after hearing this, motioning him to sit down.

After this person finished speaking, it was the turn of the steward who was in charge of dispatching the raw materials of the prescription. This person was surnamed Chen, and he presented a jade slip. There were too many types of medicinal materials in the warehouse, and it would take too long to report them one by one. So this steward Chen directly recorded all these in the jade slips, and it was quicker to scan them with his spiritual sense.

After Zhang Shiping took it, his consciousness swept away, and after a few breaths, he looked at Guanshi Chen and said, "The three elixirs of jade sea grass, golden vine root, and black snake fruit are missing, so prepare more."

It was originally a medicinal material called 'Jade Sea Grass', and now more than half of its stock has been consumed. This material is a relatively important auxiliary drug for refining Chunfenghuashengdan.

"Back to the elders, I informed the Alliance treasury the day before yesterday that the golden vine root and black snake fruit are being transported, but there is a shortage of jade seaweed, so I am afraid they cannot be supplied."

"I remember that jade seagrass is the most common, why is there a shortage? Is it because they deliberately made things difficult for them, or is there some other reason?" Zhang Shiping felt a little strange after hearing the words, and asked.

This kind of jade seaweed grows on the reef where the tide fluctuates, and it is nothing more than a little sensitive to water quality and temperature. Compared with others, this is a kind of sea spirit grass that is easy to nourish.

Moreover, this kind of low-level spirit grass is not formed by the magic of heaven and earth spirit energy. Many cultivating families on the islands in the South China Sea are cultivating it, so how can there be a shortage?

"I don't know why, in the past six months, more and more jade sea grass has withered, and the potency of this batch of jade sea grass that has been harvested in a hurry has weakened by three to four quarters. It takes more weight to refine the panacea. , so it wears out faster." Chen Guanshi said with a look of embarrassment.

Zhang Shiping looked thoughtful, and after pondering for a while, he said, "What about seaweed?"

In the refining of many healing elixirs, the spiritual materials of Jade Seaweed and Seaweed can be substituted for each other without compromising their properties. It's just that seaweed is more expensive than jade seaweed.

"The production of seaweed has also been greatly reduced." Chen Guanshi lowered his head and responded.
