The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Hong Qigong was stunned. In just a moment, the bowl in his hand had disappeared.

He is one of the Five Greats.

Who in this world can be so strong?
Turning around, I saw Qin Hao, who was holding a bowl of porridge and taking a few sips.

"Seventh Brother, hurry up and drink it. Rong'er put a lot of effort into making this frog porridge."

Moreover, this was made with peach blossom wine, which is unique to Peach Blossom Island, right?

The aroma of peach blossoms is wonderful, Rong'er! Your frog porridge is a masterpiece of your culinary skills, I give you a thumbs up!

Hong Qigong and Qin Hao had never met, but they had been in contact through Huang Yaoshi's words.

At this time, Hong Qigong's strength was much greater than before, and if he were to face Ouyang Feng, they would be evenly matched.

"So it's the banished immortal who has arrived." Hong Qigong smiled and bowed.

From their brief encounter, Hong Qigong knew that he was far inferior to the other party.

Moreover, the other party possesses superhuman abilities.

He had seen that enforcer before; he was extremely powerful.

Even he is no match for him.

The enforcer can also use magical artifacts and spells, and he is often restrained by them.

Huang Rong now understood who the person in front of her was.

Although the other person appears to be the same age as me.

But the other party is a banished immortal.

Moreover, this appearance must have been preserved using magic.

"Uncle Qin."

Huang Rong acted coquettishly, and Qin Hao almost lost control.

Of course, he looked at Huang Rong as a junior, not from the perspective of a woman.

At that moment, Guo Jing had just finished practicing one of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and was about to return to share it with Huang Rong.

Of course, we should also share it with Master Qi.

He has met the requirements for the seventh rank.

But suddenly, he saw the back of a young man, and without thinking, Guo Jing knew who it was.

Although Huang Rong was standing close to the other person, they seemed very intimate.

But Guo Jing also felt that this was a kind of filial piety.

"Master, when did you arrive?" Guo Jing asked, overjoyed.

Now Huang Rong was even more certain that this was Uncle Qin, who gave her many gifts every year on her birthday and who loved her very much.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "I came here right after Master Qi finished explaining the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to you."

After saying that, Qin Hao said to Hong Qigong apologetically, "It was really a coincidence, but I saw Jing'er practice a palm strike and deduced it from there. Don't worry, I definitely didn't eavesdrop or watch."

Although Hong Qigong had some doubts, he did not suspect Qin Hao.

After all, the other party was a banished immortal. Although these martial arts were extremely powerful in the martial arts world, they could be considered the strongest martial arts in the world.

But in other worlds, especially in the presence of this immortal, he should be nothing.

The other party's comprehension is astonishing.

Over the years, he has also met some disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, and their martial arts skills have improved considerably.

This year in particular, the martial arts skills of the Quanzhen Sect disciples have improved considerably.

His martial arts skills and internal energy have both improved significantly.

Hong Qigong laughed heartily: "If you want to see, I can show you everything."

This time, it's all eighteen palm strikes, not the fifteen palm strikes promised to Huang Rong and Guo Jing.

Qin Hao hadn't expected the other party to be so generous.

Of course, it's also possible that Hong Qigong considered his own comprehension and felt that even if he didn't teach or demonstrate, he could still achieve his goal.

Qin Hao could learn it by watching it once.

Or perhaps it also carries a sense of testing.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have said they would show everything.

But Qin Hao didn't care about this. Instead, he laughed and said, "Let's hurry up and try Rong'er's frog porridge. Otherwise, it will get cold and the taste will be much worse."

Huang Rong's eyes darted around, and she asked, "Uncle Qin, do you know how I make this frog porridge?"

Qin Hao glanced at her with amusement, how could he not know Huang Rong's little scheme?
He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not difficult. Just find high-quality frogs in the fields."

You can't just find any frog; there are strict selection criteria regarding whether it's fat or lean.

Then, infuse the best peach blossom wine from Peach Blossom Island into the dish, and cook it. The resulting drunken frog meat is tender and flavorful. For a long time, this dish lingered in my mind.

I've drunk alcohol and eaten frogs, but what does drunken frog porridge taste like? My stomach rumbles with cravings.

Huang Rong was taken aback: "Uncle Qin, how do you seem to know how I make this frog porridge? My mother has never made this frog porridge before; I figured it out myself."

Moreover, this peach blossom wine was brewed by myself using the finest peach blossom petals selected from Peach Blossom Island.

This is from "The Chef..."

Okay, Huang Rong remembered.

The brewing method itself was learned from the secret manual given to them by Qin Hao.

It makes sense that Qin Hao can also brew this wine.

Speaking of which, the new peach blossom trees on Peach Blossom Island were obtained from Qin Hao.

The peach trees that Huang Yaoshi originally owned were among the best in this world.

But how could it possibly compare to the treasures Qin Hao found in the Qianyang Realm and the Swallowed Star World?
"Here, this is my homemade Star Wine. Go pour some for Seventh Brother. After we've eaten, we'll come back to watch Seventh Brother's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."

Huang Rong understood and immediately stepped forward to pour wine for the two elders.

As for food, of course we'll have to wait a while.

What Qigong meant was that he would teach all eighteen palm techniques to Jing-gege.

Moreover, this Uncle Qin is Jing-gege's master, and he's also a banished immortal, so he can easily optimize the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

The power of this martial art increases rapidly with each level.

Hong Qigong clearly enjoyed the meal this time.

"This Starry Night Wine really does taste like there are countless stars in it."

Qin Hao chuckled and said, "Of course, it's called Star Wine because its raw material is the power of stars."

This stuff was originally made by collecting the power of stars.

Qin Hao's Zhou Tian Star Chart was originally a treasure for collecting the power of stars. After absorbing it, he refined a portion of it into Star Essence.

Qin Hao used the remaining portion to refine Star Wine.

This thing is also considered the best equivalent.

It's the kind of item that's priced but unavailable.

People from all over the world enjoy drinking alcohol.

Starry Night Wine isn't something just anyone can drink.

Hong Qigong was startled, but considering the other party's identity as a banished immortal, he didn't doubt it.

"Jing'er, Rong'er, sit down too. I'll share a cup with you."

Guo Jing and Huang Rong each received a cup. After drinking it, Huang Rong was about to say that Uncle Qin was too stingy.

This Starry Night Wine was brewed by Uncle Qin himself, and he only gave himself a cup.

She was spoiled by Huang Yaoshi since she was a child. If it weren't for Feng Heng playing the role of a strict mother, she probably would have been so arrogant that she would have stood shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

That's exactly what I wanted to say right now.

It felt like the Starry Night Wine had just entered my stomach, and the taste was undoubtedly excellent.

She even saw a sky full of stars.

Then, the Starry Night Wine transformed into internal energy, and surprisingly, it even spontaneously circulated along with her own internal energy.

When she opened her eyes, half an hour had already passed.

Huang Rong discovered that she had advanced to the first-class level and possessed a very profound foundation.

"this?"

Qin Hao looked at Huang Rong with amusement and asked mischievously, "What were you thinking just now? Were you thinking that Uncle Qin was very stingy, that he only gave you a cup of wine to get rid of you?"

That was what Huang Rong was thinking, but she was too embarrassed to say it at the moment.

"Uncle Qin."

Guo Jing looked at Huang Rong with such intense admiration that his eyes seemed to pierce her.

Qin Hao shook his head slightly. Even this blockhead has a day when he gets it.

Hong Qigong watched from the side. He couldn't drink much of the Starry Night Wine either. After a dozen or so cups, his internal energy became a bit more refined.

Moreover, the number has grown considerably.

Huang Rong finally overcame her shyness and looked up at Hong Qigong in a daze.

Hong Qigong asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Guo Jing also looked over at that moment, and stared blankly at the same time: "Seventh Master, your hair."

Hong Qigong quickly pulled his hair up and saw that some of his white hair had actually turned black.

This?
Qin Hao said with a grin, "I used some of the Southern Dipper Star Power to make this pot of Star Wine."

With just this one sentence, Hong Qigong understood.

He also knew a lot about Taoist theories. There is a saying in Taoism that the Big Dipper governs death and the Southern Dipper governs life.

Moreover, the legendary Antarctic Emperor of Immortality is actually in charge of the seven stars of the Southern Dipper.

Qin Hao used the power of the Southern Dipper, which included some life-extending abilities.

After drinking this Star Wine, Hong Qigong was rejuvenated, wasn't he?
Qin Hao smiled and tossed out a gourd, which Hong Qigong caught immediately.

He was still a little confused.

Guo Jing exclaimed in surprise, "Is this Master's wine gourd?"

He turned to Hong Qigong and explained, "This is a wine gourd that my master crafted. Although it's different from the Sun and Moon Magic Treasure in the storage pot, it can store a large amount of wine."

Hong Qigong was taken aback and turned to look at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao shrugged indifferently: "It's just a few hundred vats. Seventh Brother, drink slowly. I rarely have fellow Daoists to drink with, so I hope I can lend you a hand."

Hong Qigong was caught off guard.

People usually pay for their drinks by the pot.

Those who are more extravagant will order as many jars as they want.

Qin Hao gave him a gourd, and the capacity inside was measured in jars.
Three to five hundred cylinders?
This really terrified him.

Qin Hao casually tossed another gourd over: "It's just a gourd vine that I planted in the yard, and the gourds that grew from it. There are hundreds of them every year. I just casually refined some. The storage space isn't big, about the size of a room."

It's really not that big, only about a hundred cubic meters, really not that big.

And he didn't lie.

It's just a gourd vine that I planted casually, and it really produces several hundred gourds a year.

But these hundreds of quantities are actually the yield of just one gourd vine.

And the gourd vines he planted, if not a hundred, then a thousand.

He certainly doesn't lack storage gourds like these.

Of course, he has many world rings with large reserves, like the one in the Swallowed Star World.

But I won't take it out casually.

Hong Qigong has indeed witnessed the arrogance of the banished immortal today.

He casually tossed out even this legendary storage treasure that could hold the sun and moon within a pot.

And that Starry Night Wine.

It can increase internal energy, purify internal energy, and prolong life.

Such good stuff, hundreds of vats arrived easily. Each vat can hold at least a hundred jars.

A jar of good wine can be divided into twenty or thirty jugs.

A pot of wine probably wouldn't cost even thirty or fifty taels of gold, right?
Then what?

Hong Qigong suddenly felt that he should no longer be the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Because he is not poor at all.

Are there even beggars who are extremely wealthy?

Of course, there are also these storage treasures, which cannot be bought with any amount of silver.

Hong Qigong smiled bitterly.

Qin Hao laughed heartily: "Seventh Brother, we are all men and women of the martial world, and we get along well, so why be so childish?"

Hong Qigong was taken aback for a moment, then he and Qin Hao exchanged a smile, displaying great generosity.

Suddenly, Hong Qigong felt that his state of mind had improved.

The circulation of internal energy seemed to have become more skillful.

Qin Hao smiled and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Seventh Brother! Your mental state has greatly improved, and your path to enlightenment is promising."

Hong Qigong also cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Qin... um, thank you for your guidance, Brother Qin."

He knew, of course, that Qin Hao was doing this on purpose.

Besides, who knows how old the other person is?

Although age is probably not important to immortals.

They had no constraints on lifespan, and they even made wine to prolong life.

Qin Hao is probably quite old.

Little did he know that Qin Hao was actually not that old.

Of course, if you have to put everything together, he is a bit bigger than Hong Qigong.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Hong Qigong brought Qin Hao out to demonstrate the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Hong Qigong originally intended to test Qin Hao with this palm technique.

However, Hong Qigong felt there was nothing left to test him.

"Brother Qin, I'm about to begin."

Qin Hao nodded.

Hong Qigong then began to demonstrate on his own: "This is the first move, 'The Dragon Regrets'."

"Not bad. This move uses seven-tenths of its power and only three-tenths, leaving room for error."

"This is the second move..."

Qin Hao watched as Hong Qigong demonstrated each move.

He opened his Primordial Spirit Eye and looked into each one.

Although these martial arts are not considered advanced in this low-level martial arts world.

However, Qin Hao discovered that the level of these martial arts was quite profound.

The masters who created these martial arts techniques were all extremely intelligent geniuses.

If they were taken to a world of advanced martial arts, they would surely experience tremendous growth and attain unparalleled enlightenment.

Moreover, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms did indeed draw on the concepts of the I Ching.

However, the person who created this martial art was still somewhat lacking in skill.

Although it is excellent in this field, it is still somewhat lacking.

When Hong Qigong finished delivering the eighteen palm strikes and turned to look at Qin Hao...

Qin Hao had already begun on his own: "This is the first move, 'The Dragon Regrets Its Ascent'."

If it weren't for the fact that this was the first time Hong Qigong had met Qin Hao, he would have thought that the other party had already learned this martial art long ago.

His skills were far superior to Guo Jing's.

Then comes the phrase "The dragon soars in the sky," "The dragon appears in the field," and "The dragon lies hidden, do not act"...

Qin Hao demonstrated each of the eighteen palm techniques, and his skills were even more refined than those used by Hong Qigong.

This?
Huang Rong also came from a family with a long tradition of martial arts. Although she was lazy and young, she still knew this martial art.

When she saw Qin Hao use it, her mouth dropped open.

You should know that when Master Qi just demonstrated, he only explained the moves of the martial arts, but he didn't say how to practice them.

Moreover, it is said that this martial art had some omissions, which were filled in by Master Qi himself based on the principles of martial arts.

Even if Qin Hao had received other inheritances, he wouldn't know the moves that followed.

But at this moment, what Qin Hao practiced was extremely similar to what Qi Gong demonstrated.

But it will exceed that by a large margin.

After Qin Hao finished demonstrating once, Hong Qigong was about to express his praise.

Qin Hao began practicing for the second time: "First move, 'The Dragon Regrets'..."

Ok?
What is Qin Hao trying to do?
Qin Hao practiced again and again, and each time he perfected his technique.

Gradually, it even deviated from the routine that Hong Qigong had initially practiced.

"Is this a way to innovate?"

Qin Hao practiced the martial art twenty times, innovating and developing it to an extremely high level.

Each time, he explained the method of practicing this martial art.

Hong Qigong wanted to tell him not to listen, but he couldn't control his ears.

By the time Qin Hao withdrew his fist and stood up, the martial art had been completely altered.

It looks somewhat similar to the previous one.

But its concept already goes far beyond that.

"This?" Hong Qigong was somewhat at a loss for words.

Qin Hao laughed heartily, "It's alright, it's just a martial arts fist technique that leads directly to the peak of the second realm. It still needs careful refinement. This martial arts technique cannot break through to the third realm. Once you reach the third realm, there is no more path. From now on, you and I will need to study it carefully."

Hong Qigong understood Qin Hao's meaning: "Then thank you very much, Brother Qin."

Qin Hao agreed that this martial art could be passed down as a technique within the Beggars' Sect.

Qin Hao smiled.

At this moment, Guo Jing suddenly asked, "Master, I think this boxing style has now incorporated the concepts of the I Ching? Every move and every stance seems to anticipate the enemy's moves and seize the initiative."

Qin Hao nodded: "That's right. In fact, the creator of this martial art had already incorporated some of the concepts of the I Ching, but it wasn't enough. I've incorporated the principles of the I Ching into it, and it can even be used as a geomantic method to probe for the opponent's weaknesses and break through their defenses."

Hong Qigong naturally saw this too, and even laughed, "It seems that I need to read more Taoist classics in the future, otherwise I'll even become rusty in my basic skills."

Qin Hao smiled and then discussed it with Hong Qigong for a while.

Huang Rong prepared another delicious meal, which the two of them thoroughly enjoyed.

Huang Rong started to whine: "Uncle Qin, you're being unfair to me."

Qin Hao then understood that Huang Rong wanted him to teach her martial arts.

"Then tell me, what should I do to avoid being biased?"

"Since you've already accepted Brother Jing as your disciple, why don't you accept me too?"

cough cough.

Qin Hao almost misunderstood.

Fortunately, his Dao heart was extremely firm. He was only born for the Dao, and all external things, including women, would only affect the speed at which he drew his sword.

He would observe Guo Jing and Huang Rong's romance from the sidelines, but he would never experience it himself.

He glanced at Hong Qigong, who had originally intended for Hong Qigong to take on disciples so that Huang Rong could then lead the Beggars' Sect.

Now that Huang Rong wants to become his disciple, what will happen to the Beggars' Sect in the future?

Well, anyway, Hong Qigong is already close to achieving the Dao of martial arts, and is destined to live forever.

He can keep the Beggars' Sect under his own control.

Hong Qigong also felt as if he had lost something, but at this moment Huang Rong wanted to become his disciple, and he really couldn't stop her.

With the immortal immortal present, how could he possibly bring it up?

Qin Hao nodded and said, "Then kowtow."

Qin Hao isn't someone who pays much attention to formalities, but he can't be so hasty in accepting disciples.

Three bows and nine kowtows are absolutely essential.

Although Huang Rong was delicate, she certainly wouldn't be short of gifts when she became an apprentice.

After she bowed and kowtowed three times, Qin Hao looked at her with a grin and took out a handkerchief for her: "This was originally for Jing'er's future wife, but since you've become an apprentice first, I'll give it to you."

After Huang Rong took it, she was a little surprised: "Master, why do you still have a woman's handkerchief?"

When Qin Hao mentioned Guo Jing's wife, Huang Rong blushed for a moment.

However, she quickly realized what was happening and changed the subject.

Qin Hao laughed and said, "This is a silk handkerchief, but it is also a magic weapon. After you bind it to your blood, if you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, you can throw the handkerchief out, and it will wrap up the enemy."

Seeing Huang Rong's eager expression, Qin Hao wondered if she would use Guo Jing as a test subject.
This?
Could it be that Huang Rong will just snatch away her eldest disciple, Guo Jing, in this world and make him her husband?

Oh well, it's all been agreed upon anyway, and the marriage will happen sooner or later.

Suddenly, Huang Rong asked, "Can this handkerchief trap my father?"

cough cough cough.

Qin Hao looked at Huang Rong with a dangerous gaze. You rebellious daughter, you don't mean to try to harm Huang Yaoshi, do you?

Then, will you turn around and attack your teacher as well?
Huang Rong said shyly, "I'm just afraid that when Brother Jing comes to my house to propose marriage, my father will lay a hand on him."

She's still a rebellious daughter.

Are you really that filial?

Hong Qigong was somewhat speechless: "With Brother Qin and I proposing marriage for him, how could Brother Yao possibly refuse us?"

Huang Rong's eyes lit up: "How could I forget Master? But I'm afraid my father really won't give you face, Seventh Master. He's been experimenting with new formations on Peach Blossom Island, and he'll keep you out of there."

Hong Qigong: ...

But considering Huang Yaoshi's personality, it's quite possible.

But Huang Yaoshi would not dare to refuse the face of this banished immortal before him.

Moreover, Huang Rong genuinely loved Guo Jing, who was also the disciple of the immortal.

Brother Yao, you wouldn't look down on me, would you?

After the matter was over, Qin Hao passed on the Shaoyin and Shaoyang internal cultivation techniques to Huang Rong.

"You can practice both methods at the same time. I will then devise a set of the Yin-Yang Diagram for you. Your future will be limitless."

Although these people are all protagonists in their own little worlds, they are indeed quite talented.

If the world can be upgraded, the abilities of these people will also be improved accordingly.

This is the protagonist, favored by the world.

After saying this, Qin Hao turned to Hong Qigong: "The sect alliance we agreed on before, the Central Qilin Cave Heaven belonging to your Beggars' Sect, should also begin preparations. I've already had Brother Huang make preparations for the Eastern Azure Dragon Cave Heaven, and the next step will be further adjustments."

The Northern Xuanwu Grotto-Heaven has also made progress.

The secret realm will be fully formed in about three months.

At that time, the world will improve to some extent.

You'll all feel it then.

It's time for Qilin Cave Heaven, which is under the central government's control, to begin preparations.

Of course, I think you're still missing a set of mental techniques, Seventh Brother.

I have a set of "Qilin Paintings" here; you can take it and study it.

This belongs to the Earth element of the Central Plains, and it is actually a good match for the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Moreover, at a high level of skill, one can stand on the earth and continuously draw power from it to replenish their own energy. (End of Chapter)
