Journey To Longevity

The two talked for a long time on the top of the nameless green hill in the Chongling Mountains, and then Zhang Shiping headed towards the White Ape Palace of Xuanyuanzong, practicing in a quiet room.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, meditated for a moment, waited for his mind to be at peace, and then practiced the "Liujia True Strategies".

Practicing this technique for hundreds of years has almost become a kind of instinct. I saw that during the cycle of the sky, the gathering spirit formations distributed around the quiet room turned thousands of middle-grade spirit stones into billowing waves. Spiritual energy swarmed towards his physical body, entered through thousands of acupuncture points, then traveled along the meridians, condensed in the dantian, and transformed into strands of pure mana between the swallowing and exhaling of Yuanying.

Although there is no increase, it can grow day by day.

And under the nourishment of mana, the little golden crow spirit that had already been refined in the heart seemed to turn into a ball of flames, emitting a little golden and red aura, feeding back its own vitality. The chambers, limbs and body, three gates and nine orifices, one hundred and eighty shutdowns, three hundred and sixty joints, etc., all benefit from it.

To this day, he has practiced this noon fire scroll to the body of the acquired fire spirit. To a certain extent, he is no longer a simple mortal body, but more like tangible flesh and blood and an invisible fire spirit. blended together.

With the deepening of this practice, Zhang Shiping has realized that he will hardly have children in the future.

In fact, when a monk cultivates a certain skill to a certain level, in the long run, he will always be affected to a certain extent and become an independent individual.

For example, what Qing He and Du Yu practiced is the method of weak water, and they will gradually lean towards the body of water spirit, and Ji Fengna's "Blood Soul Illustrated Record" also transformed himself into that ordinary magic weapon In short, the blood soul that is difficult to hurt is fundamentally different from the mortal body of ordinary people, and there are some differences between monks who practice the same kind of skills.

Cultivators are immortals, the more they practice, the more difficult it is to have children. It can be said that most of them are due to this change.

There are permanence in the world, and there are trade-offs between gains and losses. But in fact, the vast majority of those who have achieved success in cultivation are not as anxious about the matter of the offspring as ordinary people. After all, spiritual roots are a gift from heaven, and most of the offspring are ordinary people. Occasionally, those with three or four spiritual roots cannot inherit their mantle and help them. Instead of working hard, it is better to use this thought On top of self-cultivation.

Although there are occasionally one or two talented people in the family's ten or even dozens of generations, the blood relationship between them has long been weak, and they are not much different from ordinary clan members. Furthermore, after hundreds or even thousands of years of waiting, with just a few juniors in this area, it is impossible to expect that some of them will definitely have a baby.

People with high cultivation bases can endure hundreds of thousands of years of boring practice, and their rationality is far better than their sensibility. Naturally, they have to weigh this, and thus they are more inclined to the approach of "what you say is lucky, and nothing is left to you".

But this is not an absolute thing. Among Mahayana practitioners, such as the Qinglong Aoguang, who has realized the magic of the transformation of heaven and man, and the growth of all things, and reached the state where yin and yang converge, and the dragon and the tiger can help each other, they can break free from the shackles. Therefore, there is a saying that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons were different.

Of course, this realm is not limited to such trivial matters as reproduction and breeding. Its essence is the way of evolution, and it is the tireless pursuit of true knowledge of practice.

...

...

After a few days.

A teleportation circle that had not been used for a long time in a stone cave at the bottom of an inconspicuous valley in the Baimang Mountains suddenly glowed with a white aura.

As the brilliance flickered, two figures suddenly appeared in it.

Du Yu and Zhang Shiping walked out of it one after another.

"I don't think there is an ancient teleportation circle hidden in a random unnamed valley near the Demon Town." Zhang Shiping looked around and sighed.

"Actually, this was not set up to guard against the Demon Lord, but for the Barbarian Domain. After reading many secret books in the sect, Shiheng must also understand that the Demon Lord is a certain Mahayana from the Linglong Realm. With his The identity of the "Xuanji Kui Fighting Sword Formation" in the "Wan Jiansheng" is self-evident. Even the ancestors of my sect should be extremely cautious when confronting such ancient venerables, let alone me Wait for these humble juniors." Du Yu said.

"It's been almost two hundred years since Mingxin Peak first set up the guarding of the barbarian border, so it's almost time for us." Zhang Shiping asked.

"In the beginning, there were two Taoist friends Zhongzhiyi and Hongyi in Hongyuelou. Later, they went through the three tribes of Diao, Jindao, and Jinlang, and those six small tribes. Now they are members of the five surnamed clans. Rotation, the next one should be Wanjianmen and the Eight Sects, or a certain Taoist friend who was born as a casual cultivator, and the last one is our five sects on rotation. After one round, there will be a total of 390 years. What, if you It's not impossible to go over there in advance for the sect, and it's not impossible." Du Yu said.

In the past, there were nine sects in the hinterland of Nanzhou, but in recent years, the Hall of Nine Demons has been removed, leaving only eight sects.

"In recent years, compared with the past, the mana I obtained by refining the spiritual energy has been greatly reduced, and there has been little progress. Instead of this, it is better to go to that barbaric area and take this opportunity to condense the mana into essence. Pure. Although it is a waste, but in the long run, it is quite beneficial to practice." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.

"You should send a direct message to the Wanjianmen and the Mingxinzong and other sect friends about this matter. They will not refuse if you want to come." Du Yu said.

Then he flipped his right hand, and there was an extra folding fan in his hand, he smiled lightly and said:

"Let's go, let's meet up with Yu Rui and the others. Yi Xuedan, who has been thinking about you for this trip, is also here."

"Forget it, I don't have the good fortune to benefit from these four pillars of pure yin body. Once I get infected, I'm afraid I will lose all my energy and my mana will flow back." Zhang Shiping shook his head and said.

"You can't say for sure. Now you are in the body of fire spirit, and there is also the phenomenon of yin and yang between water and fire, which may be more wonderful." Du Yu shook lightly to himself, approached and patted Zhang Shiping shoulder.

"This place is as cold as an ice cave. Shaking a fan is more useless than lighting a lamp in the daytime. It's better to put it away." Zhang Shiping glanced at him and said.

"In life, apart from spiritual practice, the word 'demeanor' is the most important word. How can it be said that it is useless to be happy and carefree? It has been more than five hundred years since I saw you. You are wearing black clothes. That's blue, it's just two colors, don't you think it's boring?" Du Yu said calmly.

"Your question is even more boring. Since you are interested in this romantic matter, if Yi Xuedan still has any entanglements during this trip, I will leave it to you. After all, you are now the head of the sect, and you are in the right family." Zhang Shiping said with a smile .

"Okay, stop talking and joking, the four of them should wait." Du Yu's expression was slightly restrained, and he flew out of the cave, and the two of them headed towards Yuran Mountain.
