This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 257 Where to Find Immortality

On the misty mountain peaks, the pine forests sway gently in the wind, and the sound of pine waves is like the sound of nature.

A stone staircase winds up, with endless green bamboos on both sides. As you go up the stairs, the clouds and mist gradually become thicker.

On the top of the mountain, a large area of ​​quaint buildings are half hidden and half visible in the clouds, with ancient trees and vines entwined on them. Green smoke rises from the Taoist temples, interweaving with the clouds in the mountains, like a fairyland.

This is the Daluo Sect, one of the three Taoist sects. It is also recognized as the head of the Taoist lineage and the ancestral home of Taoism!
There are no thousand-year-old empires in the world, but there are thousand-year-old families and thousand-year-old sects.

For example, the Buddhist holy land Pudu Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, and the Daluo Sect, as the ancestral home of Taoism, has existed for more than eight hundred years!

Ailiangshan walked out of a Taoist temple and walked quickly to the place near the cliff.

The mountain breeze blew on his face, making his Taoist robe rustle.

There are more than a dozen iron pillars on the edge of the cliff, and iron chains as thick as wrists are locked on the iron pillars.

The other end of the chain extended beyond the cliff and was hidden in the clouds.

The Daluo Mountain sect covers a total of more than a dozen peaks, and each peak is connected by such iron chains.

If you want to go from this mountain to another mountain, the fastest way is to go directly through this chain.

When Ailiangshan arrived at the edge of the cliff, disciples wearing the Taoist robes of Daluo Sect kept jumping down from the iron chains and landing steadily on the ground.

They all just came from the opposite mountain.

This is one of the daily tasks for the disciples of Daluo Sect!

The iron chains between the mountains are as short as two hundred meters at the shortest and over five hundred meters at the longest.

Moreover, the mountains are filled with clouds and fog, and the mountain wind is strong. The iron chain itself will shake constantly. The fog also blocks the view, so people can only see the scene within a few meters, making it much more difficult to walk on the iron chain.

If you are not careful and fall off the iron chain, there will be a bottomless abyss below. No matter how strong you are in the Dao Foundation Stage, you will be reduced to nothing!
The Daluo Sect requires all disciples who have entered the Body Breaking Stage to "cross" between the mountains at least twice a day.

Every year, disciples of the Daluo Sect lose their lives because of this subject!
This is the difference in education between the Jianghu clan and the twelve universities.

In twelve universities, it is impossible to allow such a course to exist.

Most of the students who can enter the university are the children of the rich and powerful. This one is the daughter of a certain inspector general, and that one is the son of a certain chief minister.
People send their children to university to become successful and to get a "gilded reputation". Do you dare to let these students "walk on a tightrope"?
Who is responsible if something goes wrong?
However, Daluo Sect set up such exercises not simply to torture disciples.

Through this training method, the disciples of Daluo Sect can first develop good lower body skills and control over body balance.

This is very helpful for practicing martial arts.

What’s more important is that it has honed my courage and developed strong psychological qualities!
For a warrior, this is something more precious.

To go from the Body Breaking Stage to the Qi Transformation Stage requires tempering one's mind and possessing sufficiently strong mental power. Not everyone can pass this stage.

As for the disciples of Daluo Sect who survived in the end, more than 70% of them were able to successfully break through to the Qi Transformation Stage.

This "success rate" far exceeds that of twelve universities!

This is what the cabinet minister questioned at the beginning, and it is also the reason why the prime minister of the current dynasty was determined to change the education method of the university's Zhige Department.

Ailiangshan chose a chain that was going to go, jumped on it in one step, and then walked quickly on the chain.

Soon, he disappeared in the clouds.

The mountain wind blew, and the iron chain under his feet kept shaking, but Ailiangshan looked calm and walked on the iron chain as if it were flat ground.

The iron chain from Luoxia Peak to Daluo Peak is actually relatively easy to walk on. He still remembers the first time he walked on the iron chain from Daluo Peak to Feiyun Peak.

The mountain wind there is like a tiger's roar, blowing the surrounding clouds and mist in from all directions like a tide!

That scene was truly terrifying, and Ailiangshan still remembers it vividly.

Soon, Ailiangshan successfully passed through the iron chain and arrived at Daluo Peak, the main peak of Daluo Sect.

Most of the important figures of Daluo Sect are on this peak.

Ailiangshan continued to climb along a stone staircase and soon reached the summit of Daluo Peak, entering a huge square paved with marble.

The square was also surrounded by mist, and dozens of disciples in Taoist robes were practicing sword skills.

Ailiangshan walked across the square and came to a secluded pond.

He stood by the pond and bowed respectfully.

In this deep pool resides the Daluo Sect’s guardian beast, the Bishui Tianyun Beast.

Different from the one that Lu Wenzhen prepared for Xu Jing, the Blue Water Sky Cloud Beast of Daluo Sect is a seventh-grade superior exotic beast with the ability to control water. Its combat power far exceeds that of ordinary martial arts masters and is infinitely close to that of a grandmaster!
This strange beast was tamed by the fifth generation leader of the Daluo Sect and has been the guardian beast of the Daluo Sect for more than three hundred years.

Every disciple of Daluo Sect would stop and salute to the water when passing by this secluded pool to express their respect for the beast that guards the mountain, and also to express their respect for the Sect Master of Daluo Sect at that time.

"More than three hundred years, that's really amazing."

Every time Ailiangshan paid his respects by the lake, he couldn't help but sigh.

The average life span of a person is about 70 years old. Incorporating the five implants can extend life span to 120 years. After that, every time a major realm is broken through, life span can be extended by 60 years.

Therefore, the theoretical maximum lifespan of a martial arts saint who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts is three hundred years.

Three hundred years is the maximum length of human life. Even a martial saint cannot surpass this limit.

However, many exotic beasts that are not as powerful as a Martial Saint or even a Grand Master can easily live beyond three hundred years, reaching four hundred years or five hundred years. There are even legends about exotic beasts that have survived for thousands of years!
This Bishui Tianyun beast of Daluo Sect had lived for more than a hundred years when it was subdued by the fifth generation sect master of Daluo Sect, and then stayed in Daluo Sect for more than three hundred years.

By now, the lifespan has almost exceeded five hundred years!
Buddhists seek afterlife, Taoists seek immortality.

As a Taoist disciple, Ai Liangshan naturally cares about longevity, so every time he passes by this secluded pool, he would sigh at the longevity of the Bishui Tianyun Beast.

I am very envious.

After passing the Youtan pond and crossing several halls, Ailiangshan arrived at the gate of a Taoist temple.

He stood outside the door, bowed respectfully towards the door, and said loudly:
"Disciple Ai Liangshan, on the orders of Master Qingxia Zhenren, comes to receive the elixir!"

In the Daluo Sect, only great masters who have reached the foundation stage of martial arts practice, or the possession stage of magic practice, can have their own Taoist names and independent Taoist temples.

The Taoist temple in front of Ailiang Mountain belongs to Qingding Zhenren.

Practice to develop your own magical weapon, let the weapon possess true spirit, and step into the realm of true spirit, then you can be called a true person.

Zhenren Qingding's natal magic weapon is a medicine cauldron, and he is the best alchemist in the world!

Taoists seek immortality and not only have techniques and skills that can preserve youth and prolong life, but also various recipes for elixirs that can prolong life.

The elixirs that involve longevity are of the highest quality and the most difficult to refine. In the entire Daluo Sect, only True Man Qing Ding has the ability to refine them.

Every August, Qing Ding Zhenren would prepare a pot of "Songyun Henian Pill" that could prolong life.

This pill was not for him to take himself, nor was it for the rest of the Daluo Sect to take. Instead, it was to be sent to the palace and given to the current emperor!

Taoism is highly valued by the imperial court, and the Daluo Sect receives various rewards and titles every year, which is also closely related to the 'Songyun Henian Pill'.

Luoxia Peak has always been responsible for connecting with the imperial court and many external affairs of Daluo Sect, so every year the 'Songyun Henian Pill' is collected by the disciples of Luoxia Peak and then handed over to the people of the imperial court.

This was the first time that Ai Liangshan received this assignment, and also the first time he came to the Taoist temple of Qingding Zhenren, so he was a little curious.

"come in."

A steady voice was heard from the Taoist temple.

"Yes."

Ai Liangshan walked into the Taoist temple, crossed the courtyard, entered a lobby, and stood there waiting.

He looked around curiously. There was nothing unusual about the furnishings in the lobby, except for a hanging scroll in front of him with a few powerful characters written on it:
When Ai Liangshan saw this words, he was stunned and then looked confused.

Yes, where can we find immortality?

The limit of martial arts practice is to live only three hundred years at most. As for magic, the bodies of many magicians are not even as good as those of ordinary people. They cannot even live to be seventy years old, and many die young.

Although Taoism has the "art of longevity" that can use the spirit to nourish the body, the longest-lived True Lord in the history of Daluo Sect only lived for more than two hundred years.

Even the emperor who holds the greatest power in the world can only prolong his life by taking elixirs such as "Songyun Henian Dan" every year.

But except for the founding emperor of the Great Blue Dynasty who reached the level of Martial Saint, none of the subsequent emperors lived beyond the age of 100.

The Martial Saint, the True Lord, the Son of Heaven. None of these great men at the pinnacle of the human world can truly seek immortality.

"This senior brother."

A voice interrupted Airayama's thoughts.

He came to his senses, looked up, and saw a very young Taoist priest with delicate features walking towards him holding a wooden box in his hand.

"This should be the new disciple of Master Qing Ding, right?"

Ailiangshan didn't know the other person, and thought to himself.

"I don't know what your name is, Junior Brother?"

"This is this year's elixir."

The young Taoist priest did not answer Ailiangshan's question, but just handed over the wooden box in his hand.

Ai Liangshan was startled, then smiled and took the wooden box:

"it is good."

Then he left the Taoist temple holding the wooden box in his hands.

"Young people nowadays are so rude."

After walking out of the Taoist temple, Ailiangshan shook his head and sighed in his heart.

He looked at the wooden box in his hand. Although he was curious about what the pill inside looked like, he didn't have the courage to open the box and check.

After all, this is something for the emperor.

As he walked around a hall, he suddenly heard the sound of strong wind from behind.

"Ok?"

Out of the alertness of a warrior, Ailiangshan immediately dodged to the left, activating his body-protecting strength while turning around.

It's just to run errands and get something, so Luoxia Peak won't send a strong man in the Dao Foundation Stage.

Even in the Daluo Sect, a Dao Foundation Stage expert is an important figures.

But after all, the things we are receiving are for His Majesty the Emperor, so the people sent won’t be too bad.

Ailiangshan has reached the peak of the Qi Transformation Stage and has already entered the practice of "Return to Oneness". He is expected to become a Dao Foundation Stage powerhouse in the future.

There was no problem with his reaction and response at this moment, but the strength of the person who came was far beyond his imagination!

When he turned around, a golden palm force came towards him like a mountain!
Ailiangshan subconsciously turned sideways to protect the wooden box in his hand, and at the same time exerted his strength to transform into a cloud of mist.

This is the Daluo Sect’s defensive martial art—the Sea of ​​Clouds protecting the mountain gate.

boom--

There was a loud bang.

The sea of ​​clouds was broken by the mountains.

Ailiangshan's body flew out like a cannonball, and more than a dozen bones in his body were broken immediately!

He fell heavily to the ground, smashing the bluestone slab to pieces, and the wooden box in his arms slipped out of his hands and flew away.

Ailiangshan spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, he was subconsciously still thinking about the box of pills, and turned his head to look at it immediately.

The wooden box fell to the ground and the lid opened.

Airayama's eyes widened.

The wooden box is empty
On August 8, more than a month had passed since the "academic exchange" between Hongyi University and Wu'an University.

For more than a month, the entire Feng Province's underworld has been talking about one person - the Green-Faced Ghost King!
Not only in Feng Province, but also in the imperial capital Lanling City and the other twenty-two provinces, many people have heard of the name of the Green-faced Ghost King.

He instantly topped the overall rankings and became known to the world within a few days.

This is the real man of the hour!

However, this influential figure has disappeared for more than a month and has not appeared in public since.

Although the Green-faced Ghost King did not show up, Green-faced Villa, Qingyuan Urban Management Company and the Zhang family were very active, constantly swallowing up the industries and forces left behind by the deceased 'Knife King', 'Poison King', 'Cannon King' and 'Queen'.

Of the seven kings of Datong Prefecture, only one "King of Shadows" and one "King of Gambling" remain.

During this period, the two kept a low profile and showed no intention of jumping out to compete with the Green-faced Ghost King for food.

Not only within Datong Prefecture, but also those forces outside Datong Prefecture that were originally ready to make moves also quietly withdrew their minions.

Especially the boss named Luo Yifu in the provincial capital.

After the death of 'Beast King' Yu Longqing, he was already preparing to take over the exotic beast food market in Datong Prefecture.

But after that "academic exchange", Luo Yifu completely gave up the Datongfu market.
Although the Green-Faced Ghost King has not shown up for more than a month, his will is evident everywhere in the entire Datong Prefecture!

'The Green-faced Ghost King unifies the martial arts world', this sentence has now begun to spread in Datong Prefecture.

Wuhan University, on the hill where Shi Caiming lives.

Li Fei had just finished his practice for today.

"You will lead a team to Daluo Sect in two days."

Shi Caiming lit a cigarette and said to Li Fei.

"Go to Daluo Sect? I'll lead the team?"

Li Fei looked at the other person in confusion.

"Did you know that last year the three Taoist sects and twelve universities held a martial arts exchange competition?"

The master asked.

Li Fei was stunned and nodded.

He heard the news on the radio at the time. He remembered that Shi Caiming personally went to Daluo Sect and finalized the matter with the Sect Master Qingxu Zhenjun. (See Chapter 12 of Volume for details)
"This year's martial arts exchange competition will still be held, but the venue and specific matters have not been determined. Please go to Daluo Sect on my behalf to discuss this matter."

Shi Caiming said lightly.

A year ago, Li Fei could only learn about this major event through the radio.

A year later, he was able to participate in person, and as the team leader of Wu'an University!
