Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

Yunzhou, among the mountains.

Zhang Yao didn't leave too far. After traveling hundreds of miles at night, he got into an old forest deep in the mountains.

When it was dawn, Zhang Yao climbed to the top of the peak, sat down cross-legged, and impatiently flipped through the classic.

"Reiki, breath, spiritual roots, cultivators..."

He scanned word by word, not daring to miss a single word, and soon immersed himself in it.

This book revealed to Zhang Yao a brand new vast world - the world of immortal practitioners.

Immortal cultivators, relying on their own spiritual roots, operate profound arts, breathe out spiritual energy, and cultivate mana, so that they can live forever and at the same time possess various magical powers.

In this tome:

The ancestor of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion recorded a book called "Thick Soil Jue" on cultivating immortals, and also left a lot of his own records.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is..."

After reading his description, Zhang Yao suddenly realized in his heart, and had a complete understanding of Lu Kingdom's world of cultivating immortals.

The State of Lu, or the former Great Wei, was a desert of cultivating immortals.

This place is located in the corner of the "Hundred Kingdoms of the Central Plains", and the spiritual energy is very thin. In addition, it is close to the southern border area, and the number of immortal cultivators is very rare, only about a dozen.

"With such a small number, compared with the huge territory of the nineteen states, it's no wonder that they will become legendary figures."

Zhang Yao's heart was full of emotions.

The ancestor of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion called himself "Lunan" and was the ninth generation heir of the Houtu Sect.

The Houtu Sect is a miniature sect of cultivating immortals. There are at most two or three people in each generation, and even a single lineage for a long time. It is said to be a sect, but it is actually more like a casual cultivator.

The situation in the world of cultivating immortals in Lu country can be said to be that there are few fish and shrimps in the pond. There is only a small cultivating family, and the rest are casual cultivators.

Probably decades ago:

A cultivator enshrined by the royal family of the Wei Dynasty died of old age, and there was no successor. In addition, the royal family and the court were already decayed, and the conflicts in the world had accumulated for many years.

The rebel vassals and martial arts masters from all over the country divided the entire Wei Dynasty, and no one had the power to rule the world, which led to decades of chaos.

Until a small foreign cultivating family "Liu's family" arrived in Wei.

This small cultivating family has only five people, an old lady, a couple, and their son and daughter.

The youngest daughter of the Liu family doesn't even have a spiritual root, so she can't cultivate immortality, so several people in the family discussed and planned to find a good home for her, so that she can enjoy all the glory and wealth, and live happily for the rest of her life.

They picked Yu Wenze and supported him secretly, and only then did they become the founding emperor.

"Good guy."

Seeing this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but look weird:

"After a long time, this emperor is still a son-in-law of a fairy family."

The one who picked Yu Wenze was the youngest daughter of the Liu family, who was later the Empress of the State of Lu.

As for the reason why he fell in love with Yu Wenze, apart from his high talent in martial arts and good skills, it is mainly because of Yu Wenze's outstanding appearance.

In the description left by Lu Nan, the lines are full of indifference and contempt for ordinary people, but he has focused on describing Yu Wenze, praising him as "a dragon and a phoenix, a watch of the sky and the sun".

Even cultivators can't help admiring. It can be seen that when Yu Wenze was young, he probably had an appearance that was unique among a million people.

"It turns out that being good looking is a huge advantage."

"This Yu Wenze was poor and white back then, and wandered around the village with Zhang Yong, and became the founding emperor just by virtue of his face."

Zhang Yao secretly laughed in his heart, and continued to read.

In the second half of this narration, after introducing Lu Guoxiu's world, Lu Nan began to describe in detail his connection with the "Liu family" of the Xiuxian family.

Decades ago:

Because Lu Nan could not find a successor, and his cultivation had no hope of improving, he was disheartened and prepared to go north to "protect the country" and continue to look for successors while serving as the royal family's enshrinement.

But he didn't expect that when he was about to leave, he would run into his descendant by chance—the child who was left behind after a certain drunk before cultivating immortality, and he didn't even know about it.

The descendants of Lu Nan had a very miserable life. After he confirmed his bloodline with the help of magic, he burst into tears, and finally chose to stay in Lu State to earn a family business for his descendants.

For this reason, he took the initiative to approach the Liu family and put forward his conditions, hoping to get a share of the pie.

The Liu family readily agreed to him, so Lu Nan helped Yu Wenze to rule the world, secretly killed many masters and high-ranking officials, in exchange for the title and fiefdom of King Zhennan.

"Fortunately, I was cautious and didn't go to spy on the camp of King Pingliang's army."

Seeing this, Zhang Yao couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat:

"If I really ran over, I'm afraid the grass on the grave would be three feet high."

At that time, Yu Wenze was surrounded by people from the Liu family, besides the master who had turned to him.

Compared with the monks of the Liu family, Lu Nan had the lowest cultivation level, but even so, killing an ordinary master with preparation was like killing a dog or a chicken.

"It's a pity, the future generations will not live up to it!"

Zhang Yao saw the end and found the earnest instruction left by Lu Nan.

According to the time calculation in the records, Lu Nan actually died two years ago, but the Zhennan Palace has been concealing the news, using tiger skin as a banner, and did not act until Yu Wenze really confirmed it.

And Lu Nan deliberately replaced the exercises from the jade slips to books, hoping that after the descendants of the descendants would flourish, someone would be able to practice the "Thick Soil Jue" and inherit his mantle.

According to the thoughts in the narrative, he must have confessed before his death that the lineage of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion gave up their glory and wealth, and passed on the family incognito.

Unfortunately, they didn't listen to Lu Nan.

Born with mud legs, he was treated like an ox or a horse for others, and he was poor for half his life. Once he became a high-ranking prince, he enjoyed decades of prosperity and wealth with a beautiful wife and family. Who can give up just by giving up?

Even if Zhennan Wang is willing to give up, his children may not agree.

"The Zhennan Wang family is finished, and Yu Wenze will never let them go."

Zhang Yao took a deep breath, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and carefully read the "Thick Soil Jue" from beginning to end several times.

Cultivating immortal skills requires spiritual roots.

But this thing can only be measured by an immortal cultivator, and he himself does not know whether he has the soil attribute spiritual root required by the "Thick Soil Jue".

If not, it would be a waste of decades of painstaking dormancy, and you have to find a way to get other cultivation techniques.

"Hope it works!"

Zhang Yao slowly closed his eyes, calmed down, and started his first practice.

According to the method recorded in the "Thick Soil Jue", he maintained an ethereal state of mind and tried to capture the "sense of air" in the dark.

If you have spiritual roots, you must have a sense of energy.

With a sense of Qi for a lifetime, you can guide and capture the spiritual energy of the corresponding attribute with your mind, and take the first step of "refining Qi and cultivating immortality".

"Buzz!"

Almost instantly, Zhang Yao's mind was clear, and he felt a thick and boundless artistic conception hidden in everything around him.

This is the heaven and earth aura of the earth attribute!

The door to cultivating immortals is finally opened!

I finally cultivated immortality, the weak dare not make bubbles
