Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

The green hills are green and the valleys are secluded.

In the dense forest, a young man in a gray jacket wiped the sweat from his forehead, showing a trace of relief:

"Today's work is over, you can take a rest."

He skillfully threw the herb with soil in his hand into the bamboo basket behind him, sat on the spot and rested for a while, but he was not in a hurry to go back.

"panel."

Zhang Yao muttered silently in his heart.

A light cyan light curtain emerged, and many words washed down like a waterfall:

Name: Zhang Yao

Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence

Skills: Mastery of Medicinal Materials (37%), Taiyi Zhuanggong (29%)

"This Taiyi Zhuanggong has been practiced hard for so many days, and it has only made such a small progress. It is really too slow."

Zhang Yao sighed, feeling a little melancholy.

It has been a month since his soul traveled to this world, and he replaced the identity of a little Taoist boy in Qingping Palace, and his life is quite stable.

Especially the attribute panel and two talents that come with time travel are even more satisfying to him.

But he is habitually prepared for danger in times of peace, especially when he heard that the world at the foot of the mountain is not peaceful, there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters, and he hopes to be able to protect himself a little more.

"take it easy."

"It's a great fortune that I can live a whole life again, and I have a talent comparable to longevity. There is no need to rush for a while."

Zhang Yao quickly calmed down, stood up, found a clearing in the forest, removed the basket, and began to practice Taiyi Zhuang Gong.

This Taiyi Zhuang Gong is a skill that everyone in the Qingping Palace knows. It is not a method of fighting or fighting, but a pure method of nourishing and longevity.

But it is said that after practicing to perfection, the physical strength of muscles and bones is far superior to that of ordinary people, so Zhang Yao practiced quite hard.

"call……"

He separated his feet, dropped his shoulders and dropped his elbows, with his chest in his chest and back, controlled his breathing, and practiced little by little.

Taiyi Zhuanggong combines movement and stillness, and there are twelve changes in total. The most fundamental essence lies in breathing, so it takes a lot of energy to practice, and it is not the kind of slow-moving show.

Zhang Yao practiced for less than half an hour, and he was already out of breath, his body was limp, and his strength was exhausted.

He adjusted his breath and breathed out, and after finishing his work, he reached into his bosom and took out the cut white dry tuber, threw it into his mouth and began to chew.

"There are not many medicinal materials, so I have to secretly prepare some more."

In Zhang Yao's mind, thoughts turned slightly.

After entering the stomach, a few pieces of vital energy-replenishing medicinal materials quickly turned into a warm current, flowing through his limbs and bones, replenishing his exhausted physical strength.

"This talent is really good!"

Zhang Yao took a deep breath, showing a hint of satisfaction.

His two talents are both related to essence, and it took him quite a while to understand the functions of the two talents after traveling.

Essence, the root of the human body!

Separated from the word Jingyuan, it is Jingqi and Yuanqi, and these two together govern human life, old age, sickness and death.

Essence Qi comes from transforming the essence of five grains and cultivating the Qi of nutrition and health. Every moment of human activities requires sufficient support of Essence Qi, otherwise it will be exhausted.

As for vitality, it is the innate vital energy, which is closely related to the lifespan of a person. It is brought out from the mother's womb, and it consumes a little every day of life, and there is no way to replenish it.

The way to keep in good health is to slow down the depletion of innate qi and make oneself live as long as possible.

Once a serious illness cannot be cured for a long time, or a serious injury needs to be recuperated, it will severely deplete the original qi and lead to a short life. This is the so-called "serious injury of vitality".

At the same time, the loss of original qi will also lead to the decline of essence, and the body will gradually age and become weak and sick, until the original energy is exhausted, and the yin and yang are separated and died.

His first talent - the source of vitality, can replenish the original energy at all times, and if it makes him have an immortal body, there will be no trouble with longevity.

His second talent - essence transformation, can greatly increase the transformation efficiency of essence, and at the same time control essence to a certain extent, and can accelerate the healing of injuries, cure diseases and other effects.

a month ago:

When he just came here and inherited the body and identity of the little Taoist boy, the progress of Taiyi Zhuanggong was only 24%.

Now in one month, the progress has increased by 5%. In fact, the speed has far exceeded that of all the Taoist priests and Taoist boys in the palace, mainly relying on the talent of "transformation of essence and energy".

"It's time to go back."

After Zhang Yao regained his strength, he put on the bamboo basket again and rushed towards Qingping Palace.

After passing through the mountain forest, I soon saw a familiar path, and after walking for about two quarters of an hour, I came to the mountain road in front of the palace gate.

The mountain road winds up, and there are hundreds of stone steps at the end. On the two-foot-high gate tower, the three characters "Qingping Palace" shine faintly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The scale of Qingping Palace is not small, covering an area of ​​30 to 40 mu. It is also a well-known Taoist temple in Shili Baxiang, and the incense is at its peak.

"Brother Qingxu."

"Junior Brother Qingxu, you are back."

The two Taoist priests who were guarding the gate greeted Zhang Yao who had returned from collecting herbs.

"Senior Brother Qinglang, Senior Brother Qingzhao."

Zhang Yaoji saluted first, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he entered the Qingping Palace.

On the mottled old red wall, the wall skin has peeled off a lot, and the gaps in the blue bricks are covered with moss, showing that this Taoist temple has been around for a long time.

Since Qingping Palace was founded, it has a history of hundreds of years and has been passed down for four generations. Now there are forty or fifty people in the palace including real people, Taoist priests, and Taoist boys.

After Zhang Yao entered the palace gate, he walked through a Chudian Pavilion with ease, and came to the Danding Palace.

"came back?"

A Taoist in the hall, wearing a black Taoist robe and a lotus crown, was reading a classic by candlelight, and glanced at Zhang Yao:

"Put down the pannier. Cleaning and cooking will be done later. Let's eat first."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Yao saluted respectfully, put the basket in the corner of the hall, then turned and left in a hurry.

When he came to the dining hall, it was almost dark, and there were not many people alone in the dining hall. Fortunately, there were still some meals left, so it would not be a cold stove.

Today's meal is ordinary white water noodles and pickles, not much oily water, Zhang Yao quickly finished a bowl, and went to fish for another bowl.

"Brother Qingxu!"

He just sat down at the long table when a younger Daoist came over and said excitedly:

"Have you heard? Reverend Guanyuan is about to return to vulgarity, even though the position of Reverend will be vacated soon!"

"Of course I know that."

Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows and said casually:

"But what does this have to do with us?"

"We are just ordinary Taoist boys, we haven't received the talisman yet, so it's not our turn to worry about it."

"How can you say it's okay?"

Xiao Daotong disapproved, lowered his voice and said:

"If our master can be elected as Duguan Daoist, wouldn't we all go up with the tide?"

The scale of the Qingping Palace is not comparable to those of the Taoist temples with hundreds of people, and the internal power distribution is not as complicated as "three capitals, five masters and eighteen heads", but it is also strictly hierarchical.

Under the palace lord, the two real people who are all in charge and all talk about are the highest, followed by the real people who are in charge of the fourth palace.

These little Taoist boys are all affiliated to the Danding Hall, and they are nominally the disciples of "Guanlu", the real person in charge of the hall. If the real person Guanlu can be promoted, they seem to be able to benefit.

"You think too much."

Zhang Yao saw through his naive thoughts at a glance, shook his head and said:

"We are only master's registered disciples, not disciples entering the house."

"Even if the master really becomes the real person in charge, we are still affiliated with the Danding Palace. At that time, the master will be replaced by a new real person in charge of the hall."

"ah?"

When Xiaodaotong heard this, his face immediately turned down:

"That's right... I thought I could follow Master to guard the Tibetan Pavilion and escape the drudgery of the Danding Palace."

There are no idlers in Qingping Palace, even Xiaodao Tong, there is a clear division of responsibilities.

These boys of the Danding Palace often go to the mountains to collect herbs on weekdays, and they are also responsible for the processing, storage, and maintenance of medicinal materials, which is a hard job.

After all, the sale of panaceas for prolonging life and strengthening the body is an important source of income for the Qingping Palace. They must not be sloppy, and they will be reprimanded and punished if they are a little slack.

Among the three pavilions and four halls of Qingping Palace, the hardest ones are the boys and Taoists in Danding Hall and Shuwu Hall.

"Do you want to leave the Danding Hall?"

Zhang Yao took a sip of noodles, glanced at him, and said vaguely:

"I advise you to stop thinking about it as soon as possible, it's too difficult."

Several Taoist boys of the same age as him complained about the hard work in Danding Hall, but Zhang Yao didn't think much of it.

The world at the foot of the mountain is very chaotic, natural disasters and man-made disasters occur frequently, and many ordinary people are forced to live, sell their sons and daughters, and even starve to death.

They are Taoist boys in the Qingping Palace. They don't have to worry about their lives. They can work and eat well, and they have the opportunity to practice health preservation skills.

"Why……"

Xiao Daotong sighed, frowning:

"Then I really hope that I can grow up and receive the talisman sooner, so that I can stay in the palace and refine the elixir, without having to travel so hard."

Zhang Yao smiled, finished eating the noodles in the bowl, got up and said:

"Growing up, in fact, may not be a good thing..."

Mengxin has just entered the rivers and lakes, and I hope that all the book friends in the starting point will give some support.
