Journey To Longevity

The cave is quiet and cool, there are no wall lamps on both sides of the mountain, and there is still some light near the entrance of the cave. Zhang Shiping walked about ten feet away, and the outside light could not shine in. Firelight went on.

After walking more than a hundred feet, there was a faint silver light in front of him, and there was a faint voice of conversation. He immediately walked forward quickly, and when he turned a corner, the scenery in front of him suddenly brightened.

Looking around, there is a huge karst cave inside, brightly lit, and the walls are inlaid with pearls the size of pigeon eggs or even eggs, all of which exude a faint light. The light group ranged from three to five to as many as seven or eight. Zhang Shiping saw how many people were walking inside.

Zhang Shiping looked at it, and walked quickly, not thinking that there seemed to be a transparent wall in front of him, and he bumped into it all of a sudden, causing pain on his face.

It's a pity to go blind at a young age!

An old voice came to Zhang Shiping's ears. He turned his head and saw that there was a notch near the entrance of the cave, and there was a long bluestone chair. Yellow skin wine gourd, sipping the wine, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked contented.

Junior Zhang Shiping, meet senior. Zhang Shiping said hastily.

Those who can be in the Sutra Pavilion are all high-level immortal cultivators. This is his first impression after entering. The gatekeepers and guides were already two foundation-building monks, and this old Taoist priest was at least an old-fashioned foundation-building monk.

Worship what kind of predecessors, everyone is a fool. Do you know who I am, do you know what my name is, I don't know what to say! The old Taoist may have drunk too much, and his temper is extremely weird.

Zhang Shiping was not annoyed, he still had a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said to this person: Then the junior will not bother the senior for the time being.

Gu Binghua, you can call me Gutou, I want to find something. The old man turned his head away, holding the wine gourd and said in a muffled voice.

The juniors want to find a practice that can hide their mana, and it is best for fire attribute monks to practice. Zhang Shiping replied:

This kind of exercise has nothing to do with the monk's attribute. It relies on spiritual consciousness. You don't know who is your master. If you don't even teach this common sense well, you are simply misleading your students. The old man said without hesitation.

The younger generation is a disciple who has just started recently and has not yet apprenticed to a teacher. Zhang Shiping said.

I see. Go to the third shelf on the left on the second floor and have a look. I remember that there are several books there, and there should be something suitable for you. But don't expect too much. Seeing that you are still polite, talk to you more. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of high-ranking monks, this kind of exercise is useless. said the old man.

Zhang Shiping thanked repeatedly, even if this senior said so, he still wanted to go in and take a look, why not find some other exercises to practice.

The old Taoist priest didn’t know how many young monks like Zhang Shiping he had seen, and he didn’t say any more. He flicked his fingers lightly, and a faint light floated away, and the array shield at the door scattered towards the two, revealing one side that was just enough to Extraordinary portal.

Zhang Shiping thanked him again, then walked in quickly, walked through the corridor of bookshelves, found the stairs, walked up to the second floor, and went straight to the third shelf on the left. He only has three incense sticks of time in the Sutra Pavilion, and he can't waste any time.

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is located inside the mountain, with a large space and five floors.

There are thirty-six huge white jade pillars standing on each floor. The first four floors are 'Miscellaneous Notes', 'Spells', 'Tales' and 'Pillions'. wooden frame. This kind of iron and wood frame has six layers up and down, on which are placed jade slips of martial arts, which are guarded by formations, forming light balls of different colors one after another.

As for the monks who want to copy the jade slips, they only need to write down the name and location of the exercises, and then find the steward on the first floor to deliver the corresponding spirit stones, and this person will copy the jade slips of the exercises.

...

...

Up to the second floor.

Zhang Shiping walked to the shelf the old man said, and the first thing he saw was a yellow ball of light. He subconsciously reached out and touched the jade slips inside to take a look. Then there was a muffled sound, and he looked at his fingers again, the fingertips were already pitch-black, and there was a slight bit of pain.

It seems that you can't touch the jade slip directly!

There is a written record in front of this ball of yellow light, it says Hunyuan Shouxin Gong, and then there are two lines of small characters, which roughly describe what kind of exercise it is.

He glanced over dozens of words, and immediately understood that this was a technique practiced by monks in the Qi refining period, which could restrain part of his breath. However, this exercise has only five levels, and it is a residual copy with limited usefulness.

Zhang Shiping had no interest in this, and immediately walked down the bookshelf to look at the next exercise. But he read 20 or 30 short exercises in a row, but he couldn't find a suitable one. These exercises are all fragments, and none of them are complete.

From initial anticipation to unbearable disappointment. The boy still couldn't hide what was on his mind, it was all on his face.

If I can't do it, I can only go to the store in Fangshi to look for it. I don't know if the price is high. But I'd better take a look at the classics on talismans first. Zhang Shiping thought to himself.

Just at this moment, a monk dressed in black came over. He saw that this person was dressed as an outer disciple, so he first bowed his hands and saluted, and then asked softly: This senior brother, please stop.

The man stopped when he heard the sound, looked towards Zhang Shiping, and asked a little puzzled: What's the matter with this junior brother?

Senior Brother, this is the first time for Junior Brother to come to the Cangjing Pavilion, and I would like to ask for advice, why are the exercises on this bookshelf all incomplete. Zhang Shiping asked doubtfully.

He read so many, but he didn't find a complete one. As a great sect of cultivating immortals, it's not like this.

Seeing what Zhang Shiping was probably thinking, that senior brother was also very enthusiastic, and said with a smile: Of course there are complete exercises in the Sutra Pavilion, but most of them are on the fifth floor, and only cultivation Uncles who have reached the foundation can only go up. The younger brother is here to find some hidden aura exercises, which are more precious, and naturally most of them are incomplete.

Cultivators seldom carry exercises outside. The Qingxuan Yuhuo Jue practiced by Zhang Shiping has a total of nine layers and more than 5,000 words, which he has already memorized fluently. Most of the storage bags carry notes about cultivation, recording experiences or doubts.

As for the Jade Slips of Cultivation Techniques, they are all placed in the family, and many family monks do this.

Only casual cultivators who live in no fixed place will bring all their wealth with them. Therefore, some mortals in the secular world encounter fairy fate and obtain cultivation skills.

The disciples of the Zhengyang Sect obtained the exercises, but most of them were broken, and it was not easy to practice, so they had to sell them to the sect in exchange for merit points.

However, most of the complete exercises on the fifth level are low-level exercises contributed by each generation of Jindan and Nascent Soul cultivators of the sect.

Thank you, senior brother, where do I need to copy the jade slips? Zhang Shiping thanked.

The disciple pointed to the left downstairs, There is a small room on the left of the first floor, ask the steward inside to copy the jade slips.

The disciples of the outer sect only had three sticks of incense in the Sutra Pavilion, and that senior brother didn't have much time. After Zhang Shiping thanked him, he hurried back and forth among the bookshelves, looking for the exercises he needed.

In the end, Zhang Shiping picked and picked a skill called Changing Yuan Gong, which has only four layers. As for whether it can change the size of his spiritual pressure, Zhang Shiping is not half sure, but he is interested in the skill. There is a formula for exercising spiritual consciousness attached to it.

When the cultivator's spiritual consciousness becomes stronger and stronger, he will be more handy when casting spells.

At this moment, the time has just passed two sticks of incense.

Seeing that there was still time, he went up to the talisman vessel on the third floor to take a look around. There were not many bookshelves there, only fifteen, and there were only six or seven jade slips on each shelf.

Zhang Shiping turned around quickly and found that there were some talisman formulas and production methods that could only be used during the foundation building period. As for the few in the Qi refining period, there are only a few three or five schools, all of which are entry-level methods.

In addition to the methods of talismans, there are also some methods of forging weapons.

He didn't know how to refine weapons, and he didn't intend to learn more. The elders, patriarch, and father of the clan have repeatedly warned that monks have limited energy, and it is okay to learn about some cultivation skills, but they cannot study in depth, otherwise it will only delay the cultivation.

Zhang Shiping originally wanted to go up to the fourth floor to see if there were any prescriptions for mana improvement, but the time was almost up, so he had to wait for the next time.

After going downstairs, he followed what the senior brother said, and he found a small stone door on the left side of the first floor, which was just enough for one person to enter and exit.

Boom, boom, boom. Zhang Shiping tapped lightly.

The stone door suddenly opened.

He walked in immediately, and the stone door was closed immediately after entering.

Inside, there was a tall and thin monk in white who was stepping on a flying disc magic weapon, flying around, as if looking for something.

The walls are divided into grids of different sizes, all of which were chiseled directly from the mountain wall.

Hearing the sound of Shimen closing, the man looked back, and when he saw Zhang Shiping, he turned his head and put a simple book in his hand in the stone lattice, sealed it with a red light mask, and flew down.

Zhang Shiping was about to speak, but the man asked faster: Which jade slip do you want to copy?

Change Yuan Gong. Zhang Shiping responded immediately.

As soon as the man heard this, he took out a jade slip from the second brown-red storage bag from the four storage bags of different colors on his waist, and then flew to the stone table to pick up a blank jade slip. , Pasting the two together, humming a few words in his mouth, seeing a flash of white light, he threw the copied jade slip to Zhang Shiping.

Twenty spirit stones. Zhang Shiping caught the jade slip, and the man's voice came.

this……

Zhang Shiping was stunned for a while when he heard that it would take 20 spirit stones to copy a copy of the jade slips of the remaining original exercises.

However, the tall and thin monk had already come to him and stretched out his hand. Seeing this, Zhang Shiping had no choice but to take out a pile of spirit stones with a painful expression on his face. One piece and two pieces counted twenty pieces in total. In the end, only two pieces of fire-attributed stones were left. The red spirit stone was put back into the storage bag together with the jade slip of the exercise technique.

After receiving the spirit stone, the man's tone was obviously much closer, See, this nephew is also in exchange for the spiritual consciousness training method in Yuan Gong. Although many senior brothers have practiced this method, it can really be practiced. Not many people are famous, do you know why?

The man paused and looked at Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping followed him and said, I hope my uncle will enlighten me!

Actually, when practicing this technique, the soul of a monk will experience severe pain, like the pain of a split soul. How many people can bear it? I think I have practiced it before, and although I couldn't persist, it was more or less painful. I also figured out some ways. The man said,

Then he turned his hand and took out a jade slip, and said with a smile:

This is a pill formula that can cultivate spiritual consciousness that I found from ancient books back then. I was able to persist with this prescription back then. I don't know if my nephew needs it.

Any elixir is extremely precious. Zhang Shiping took the jade slip and looked at it with his spiritual sense. He could only see one-fifth of the contents. He can't get the age of the medicinal materials. The main medicine is Ziye Yangshenhua, which is more than 500 years old, and the prescription ranges from decades to hundreds of years.

This pill formula is obviously not for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, and only high-ranking cultivators above Golden Elixir can complete the prescription.

Uncle Shi, this pill formula is really... Zhang Shiping hesitated to speak.

The man had a smirk on his face, It's really hard to collect the medicinal materials required above, but this pill recipe only needs ten spirit stones, and it won't be too late for the master and nephew to refine it after the pill is formed.

I don't know how many people this master uncle sold this alchemy to, Zhang Shiping bought it after thinking about it, after all, he was prepared for any danger, and the price of the golden elixir alchemy at the Fangshi store was more than this price.

Lingshi is really not enough, and even if the Zongmen does not assign tasks in three months, he will not be able to sit still.

...

...

After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Zhang Shiping flew the magic weapon over the mountains, and flew for about an hour. He was short of mana and had to stop to rest, but he didn't want to encounter two blue-eyed golden monkeys fighting. Both monkeys were eight feet tall. , looks like a burly man from a distance.

Both of them are male monkeys, one is old and the other is in the prime of life, and they are fighting for the position of monkey king. When they saw Zhang Shiping, the two male monkeys stopped and roared at him.

In order not to cause a siege, Zhang Shiping immediately flew into the sky with the flying magic weapon.
