Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 31 Return to Childhood
"Greetings, Master Li. I am entering the academy to study martial arts. This is my ID badge."

At the entrance of the Sutra Library, Li Ji'an sat on the armchair that Old Shi had sat on, with his eyes closed, resting. A young man with no hope of becoming an immortal was respectfully paying his respects.

Without opening his eyes, he casually waved his hand: "The evening drum is the signal, don't miss the time."

"This is what I saved. Thank you, Mr. Li."

After the young man disappeared into the Sutra Library, Li Ji'an slowly opened his eyes, smiled and shook his head.

"I've unknowingly gotten the word 'old' mixed up..." Unlike the 'old' in Li Laoguai's previous life, the 'old' now is a respectful title, a title of utmost respect.

When Prince Yun ascended the throne, Li Ji'an was exactly thirty years old. He successfully avoided the possibility of becoming an immortal seedling and stayed in the Immortal Palace Sutra Pavilion because of his relationship with the Crown Prince.

Seven years later, the old King Yun died on the dragon throne because of the recurrence of his old injury during the "serving the king" campaign. He was unable to wait for the elixir promised by the immortal master.

Zhao Yunsheng's biological father succeeded to the throne smoothly, and Zhao Yunsheng naturally became His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

At that time, Li Ji'an was concentrating on practicing internal energy. He had already made some progress in marrow cultivation and it would take another three years to reach perfection. He then focused on refining his internal organs, which he completed after eight years. At the age of 41, he successfully entered the ranks of Qi and Blood Masters.

Just at that time, Lao Shi died and successfully took over the position, from being a guard of the Sutra Repository to being the elder of the Sutra Repository.

In the following twenty years, he took over the Sutra Repository and collected all the martial arts in the world. On the one hand, he continued to cultivate his qi and blood to reach the Grandmaster level, the pinnacle of martial arts in this world. On the other hand, he studied martial arts based on the top martial arts on the martial arts list. In total, he went out twice.

The first time was ten years ago. Relying on the convenience of his position, he possessed the most top-level martial arts in the world. After ten years of intensive research, he unexpectedly realized that all top-level martial arts that could stimulate more than 70% of the power of Qi and blood had something in common - they could feed back one's own Qi and blood in that instant.

The stronger the power of stimulation, the better the feedback effect.

Although they are very weak and fleeting.

But this still surprised Li Ji'an and gave him some wild ideas.

He secluded himself for three months, neglecting sleep and food.

Finally, when my head was about to explode, I caught a fleeting inspiration!
If the methods of stimulating Qi and blood corresponding to the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians in top-level martial arts could be integrated into one, theoretically it would be a peerless martial art that could stimulate Qi and blood to almost 100%, and could greatly enhance the practice of internal strength.

Unfortunately, although there are as many as seventy-nine books of top-level martial arts collected on the top floor of the Sutra Library, there are many duplicate methods for stimulating the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians, and there are still two top-level martial arts books that can stimulate different meridians missing.

So he took the opportunity to attend the funeral of Qing Wang Ning Haichan and went to Qing Wang Mansion. While paying tribute to Ning Haichan, he got the inherited boxing skills left by Chen Xiaosheng and the Su family's "Heavy Rain of Pear Blossom Needles".

It just corresponds to two different methods of stimulating qi and blood in the meridians.

Three years later, he successfully created this top-notch martial art, which not only stimulated his Qi and blood to 99% of his own Qi and blood, but also greatly fed back to his own Qi and blood training, doubling his internal strength training.

With this magical skill, just six years later, his blood and energy were as strong as a dragon, and he successfully reached the realm of the grand master of blood and energy.

In addition, the supreme martial arts he created himself can unleash 99% of his own energy and blood power. He is also in his prime years with his energy and blood at their peak, and he is also proficient in the innate martial arts of other great masters in the world... He is almost certain to be number one in the world.

It was a year ago that he went out for the second time.

A year ago, the new emperor had been on the throne for twenty-three years and happened to be presiding over the Immortal Ceremony for the third time.

As a result, after the immortal master left, the emperor was found seriously injured and dying in the immortal palace, and collapsed before he was taken back to the palace.

No one knows what exactly happened, and the immortal seedlings of that generation were all good. The only explanation is that the emperor accidentally said something taboo and angered the immortal master.

A bloody struggle for the throne broke out in the harem.

Poor Zhao Yunsheng, the most legitimate crown prince, had the least talent for martial arts. The other princes didn't even consider him a rival. After all, when his father appointed him crown prince, he hadn't intended to pass the throne to him. Martial artists cultivate their Qi and blood, leading to relatively longer lifespans, especially with the possibility of receiving a longevity elixir from an immortal master every ten years. With the exception of the Taizu, it was traditional for the throne to be passed to the crown prince.

Originally, Li Ji'an had no idea about the fight for the throne, and Zhao Yunsheng had no interest in the throne anyway.

However, the eighth prince was cruel and ruthless. After successfully seizing the throne, he wanted to wipe out the entire clan.

So Li Ji'an left the Sutra Library for the second time.

Zhao Yunsheng was forced to sit on the throne.

Li Ji'an passively topped the Grandmaster list.

"Is my decline already starting at just 61?" After sensing it several times and confirming that it was correct, Li Ji'an frowned slightly, then smiled again.

"Forget it, this life has come to an end."

Since half a year ago, he had occasionally felt that the "rejuvenation" that he had ignored in his previous two lives actually had an advance warning.

A grandmaster with qi and blood as strong as a dragon can theoretically live to nearly a hundred years old, but his peak period is when he is in his fifties or sixties. After that, his qi and blood will slowly decline. The decline is slow before the age of seventy, but it starts to decline rapidly at the age of eighty, and by the time he reaches ninety, he is already in his twilight years.

Li Ji'an was satisfied with this.

This life has far exceeded his expectations. Not only has he made no further progress in the martial arts, but most importantly, he has created a martial art that can speed up the development of his internal strength and body. He is full of confidence in his next life.

More importantly, during the time he stayed with Zhao Yunsheng in the palace last year, he accidentally discovered the secret records of the emperor during the martial arts catastrophe, and studied the talisman for receiving messages from the immortal master.

A martial arts master can really hurt a practitioner!
This made him more determined to enter the world of cultivation in his next life.

Five days later, Li Ji'an bid farewell to Zhao Yunsheng, saying that he would travel around the world to find a destined seedling and do his part to help Zhao Yunsheng with his troubled immortal classics.

Afterwards, Li Jian went back to Qingzhou first, visited Xiao Wu's grave, and then returned to Zixiao Temple to meet Qingyun, whose hair and beard had turned white.

Finally, after paying homage to the master and senior brothers, he left.

Although he had already seen the exploration maps of senior masters and the royal family, he still walked around the Xianci Dynasty as a verification.

Until half a year later, when the feeling became stronger and stronger, he quietly returned to the imperial city and moved into the house that had been prepared long ago and was closest to the Immortal Palace.

A month later, I woke up and found myself eight years old again.

The powerful body that was as vigorous as a dragon just a moment ago suddenly became weak and powerless, which made Li Ji'an a little uncomfortable.

However, after closing his eyes and concentrating for a moment, his soul, which was more energetic and more agile than at the peak of his previous life, made him smile.

Without any further hesitation, he took out the marrow cleansing pill that he had prepared long ago from the secret compartment and swallowed it in one gulp. Then he poured the hot water that had been boiled last night and was now at a suitable temperature into a wooden barrel filled with many precious medicinal herbs that were no less precious than the marrow cleansing pill, and then jumped in.

The marrow cleansing pill flushes the tendons, bone marrow and internal organs, while the precious medicine liquid cleanses the skin, membranes, blood and flesh outside.

Li Ji'an felt as if he had been reborn in an instant.

"In this life, enter the world of immortal cultivation!"
