Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Tianyi Heart Method is an internal Qi heart method that directly targets the Xiantian realm. Chu Chen has no interest in practicing it. Compared with Shuiyuan Jue, Tianyi Heart Method is inferior.

Compared with Tianyi Heart Method, Chu Chen cares more about Qishang Zhengjin Meridian.

Qishang Zhengjin Meridian.

This is a method that can improve the root bone. If it is practiced to perfection, it can improve the root bone qualification of the practitioner to the top level in the world.

But this method has a huge flaw. If you want to practice this method to perfection, you will lose 70 years of life, or even more.

The life of a mortal is no more than a hundred years.

Except for a few long-lived people, few people can live to more than a hundred years old.

Birth, aging, illness and death are inevitable for ordinary people.

As for the Xiantian Grandmaster, because he opened the bridge of heaven and earth, closed the pores, and the essence no longer leaked out, he can theoretically live for two hundred years, but the purpose of improving the root bone is not to break through the Xiantian realm?

If an ordinary person loses 70 years of life, the best case scenario is that he still has 30 years of life left, provided that he practices the Seven Injury Straightening Meridian when he is born.

This is obviously impossible.

Therefore, most people will not practice the Seven Injury Straightening Meridian to the Great Perfection Stage. Basically, they will use the Seven Injury Straightening Meridian to improve their own bones by one or two levels, and stop after losing 30 or 40 years of life.

But for Chu Chen, who is immortal, these are not a problem. He is not afraid of losing a hundred years of life.

In addition to these two techniques, Pei Zhixuan also left a map on the back of the human skin scroll. This map points to a cave, which contains various resources accumulated by Pei Zhixuan throughout his life, enough for later generations to practice to the Xiantian realm.

According to Pei Zhixuan, those who can get this human skin scroll are all destined people.

If you are interested, you can take away the many resources he left behind. You only need to send a treasure called the Sacred Heart Relic in the cave back to the Wusheng Sect.

"Looking at the terrain, this cave should be in the Yunwu Mountains not far from the Imperial City?"

Chu Chen carefully studied the map and came to a conclusion.

So.

He decided to put the human skin scroll away and would not go to this cave in the short term.

Chu Chen was not uninterested in the many resources left by Pei Zhixuan. It was precisely because of his interest that he chose not to explore this cave for the time being.

Is Pei Zhixuan a good man?

Obviously not.

Pei Zhixuan could become the leader of the Wusheng Sect and was once expected to open up a dynasty. He must be extraordinary and a true hero.

He left Tianyi Heart Method and Qishang Zhengjin Jing on the human skin scroll. It seemed kind and might lure some greedy people to go there, but in Chu Chen's view, there were only two bright words.

Conspiracy.

Before he had enough confidence and strength, Chu Chen would not go to this cave at will.

...

After carefully studying Qishang Zhengjin Jing several times, Chu Chen immediately decided to practice this technique.

Boom!

The moment he started practicing this technique, Chu Chen felt his internal organs suddenly tremble, as if a hot flame burst out from his internal organs, sweeping across his limbs.

In an instant, there was no part of Chu Chen's body that didn't hurt, and the piercing pain spread throughout his body.

The pores all over his body opened up, and along with the fishy and unpleasant smell, strands of black impurities were expelled from his body.

The fundamental principle of changing the Seven Injury Meridian is to use the five elements of qi from the internal organs and the yin and yang qi to cleanse the marrow and meridians of the body.

Because of this, every time the Seven Injury Meridian is used, it will cause damage to the internal organs and shorten lifespan.

Chu Chen doesn't have to worry about this problem. The Longevity Dao Fruit trembles, dropping infinite vitality, and can instantly restore the damage caused by the Seven Injury Meridian.

A month later, Chu Chen practiced the Seven Injury Meridian to perfection, and his bones were raised to the top level in the world.

As long as you don't care about the loss of lifespan, you can easily practice the Qishang Zhengjinjing to perfection with more practice. There is no need for any skills.

After reaching the top level of root bone, Chu Chen's speed of practicing Shui Yuan Jue increased greatly.

In the past, it took more than ten days to condense a strand of internal force, but now it only takes one day to condense a strand of internal force. The speed of practice is more than ten times faster!

The progress of internal energy practice will catch up with the progress of external body training. It is just around the corner.

The improvement of root bone has the greatest increase in the practice of Shui Yuan Jue. Although it has an increase in the practice of Soul-stealing Body-building Sutra, the increase is not too large.

The biggest limitation of practicing Soul-stealing Body-building Sutra is not root bone, but the number of precious medicinal materials.

Of course, with the improvement of root bone, Chu Chen's speed of practicing Suifeng Body Method and Dianxing Sword Jue has also increased a lot.

...

March 6, the sixth year of Hongguang.

The court of Dayan, which has been peaceful for several years, has once again shown signs of turmoil.

Because Concubine Zhang broke the beloved glass star flower cup of Emperor Hongguang, Emperor Hongguang was furious and sent Concubine Zhang to the cold palace.

This incident seemed to be a matter of the harem, but everyone knew that it was a test of the Empress Dowager by Emperor Hongguang.

Since ancient times, there has been no two suns in the sky and no two masters in the country.

It has been six years since Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne. He is getting older and when he can take power, how can he be willing to continue to be a puppet?

The Empress Dowager is in power and is reluctant to give power to Emperor Hongguang, so conflicts are inevitable.

There is no family affection in front of the imperial power. Even between biological mother and son, there will be opposition because of the power above ten thousand people.

"The little emperor is still too impatient. The Empress Dowager has been in control of the court for six years. There are people from the Empress Dowager in the six ministries inside and outside the imperial capital. With the current foundation of the little emperor, fighting with the Empress Dowager is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg."

Chu Chen is not optimistic about Emperor Hongguang.

Soon.

The counterattack of the Empress Dowager came.

Five days later, the Queen Mother punished Emperor Hongguang for being disrespectful during the ancestral worship and offending the ancestors, and punished him to stay in the library for a month to reflect behind closed doors.

After Emperor Hongguang came out of the library, he went to the Cining Palace in person to apologize to the Queen Mother, saying that he had received the teachings of his ancestors and would no longer be distracted by external affairs. He was willing to follow the Queen Mother day and night to fulfill his filial piety.

The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this and praised: "My son, the most filial son in the world."

It seems that the storm has been resolved, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is only temporary.

Is the little emperor really willing to be a puppet in the hands of the Queen Mother?

The answer is naturally no.

Emperor Hongguang acted rashly this time and was suppressed by the Queen Mother. He suffered a great loss. When he makes a move next time, he must be more fully prepared.

Of course.

How Emperor Hongguang fights with the Queen Mother is none of Chu Chen's business.

Instead of caring about the power struggles in the palace, it is better to practice more.

This year, Chu Chen completed his first blood transfusion.

October 11, the seventh year of Hongguang.

The southern rebel army suddenly sent out 100,000 troops, broke through dozens of cities, and marched straight to the imperial capital with an unstoppable momentum.

For a time, the whole court was shocked.

If the rebel army broke through the natural barrier of Humen Pass, the rebel army would be at the gate of the imperial capital.

The empress dowager immediately convened a court meeting to discuss strategies to deal with the rebel army with the ministers.

At the court meeting, none of the ministers dared to speak, and no one dared to take the responsibility of suppressing the rebel army.

The reason for this situation is because of the leader of the rebel army.

Zhenbei Tianwang.

Although the 100,000 rebels are numerous, they will not make the court officials too afraid.

The imperial guards, city guards, five city soldiers and horses in the imperial capital, as well as the private soldiers raised by various families, together, can make up a 150,000-strong army.

But it’s different with the addition of another Heavenly King of Zhenbei, because this Heavenly King of Zhenbei is an innate master.
