Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 82 Practice
"Oh, isn't this Taoist Priest Li? He's buying the groceries himself."

In the street market on the west side of the town, a fish vendor saw Li Kunshan passing by with a basket of vegetables and joked with him.

Li Kunshan had only been in Hehuan Town for a month, but almost all the townspeople already knew him.

In Zhuge Kongping's town, a Taoist priest came to the town to catch ghosts. Isn't that like selling coal to Shanxi? If it were just a coincidence, it would be fine, but to even claim to be the best Mao in the world is simply ignorant of the world's immensity.

Li Kunshan doesn't care about this. Being black and red is also being red.

"Today's fish is quite fresh, and I just bought some tofu."

Li Kunshan suddenly stopped, looked at the splashes of water in the pool, smiled and nodded.

"Caught two crucian carp."

"okay."

The fishmonger picked up the scoop net and caught two fat ones.

After killing the fish, he carefully removed the scales, strung it with a straw rope and handed it to Li Kunshan.

"Thank you."

Li Kunshan took it and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, paid and left.

"He's a nice guy, but he likes to brag a bit."

The fishmonger weighed the copper coins in his hand and muttered to himself as he watched Li Kunshan walking towards the old lady's vegetable stall.

The townspeople's impression of Li Kunshan was mostly similar to that of a fishmonger. At first, they laughed at him, but as they got to know him more, they found that Li Kunshan was actually a nice person.

After buying groceries and returning home, Li Kunshan stewed a pot of crucian carp and tofu soup. The soup was milky white and the fish meat was delicious. He also fried some small green vegetables, which was perfect with rice.

After eating, I sat in the yard and drank tea for a while. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, I got up and went to the study.

Picked up from a used furniture market, there was an old mahogany table with a dozen yellow papers, a brush, cinnabar and other tools on it. Li Kunshan picked up the brush and began to practice drawing talismans.

Just as Fang Yazi said, no one asked Li Kunshan to catch ghosts.

This month passed and he didn't get a single business deal.

However, Li Kunshan was not in a hurry. It was impossible for a place to be haunted every few days. His business was based on the principle of not opening for three years and making a profit for three years after opening.

What's more, there is a Zhuge Kongping living in the north of the town.

When I have nothing to do, I use all my time for cultivation.

Practice Thunder Secrets in the morning, practice talismans in the afternoon, refine essence into energy in the evening, and read the Huangting Waijing Sutra again before going to bed.

In this way, after a month, I have made progress in all aspects.

Especially the Thunder Art, which takes up the most time. Moreover, although the experience of Lightning Thunder Fist has been reset to zero, it has been practiced for a year after all, so the improvement of Thunder Art seems to be faster.

Just two days ago, it was rebuilt to the third floor.

As expected, a new magical power was derived.

[Thunderbolt: Using its own magnetic field, it can trigger the Nine Heavens Thunder at any time to instantly strike the target!]

The fusion of Longhu Mountain's Crimson Palace Thunder and Lightning Thunder Fist combines the advantages of both, integrating lightning into fists and kicks while also unleashing medium and long-range attacks. It possesses both the powerful force of Lightning Thunder Fist and the flexibility of Crimson Palace Thunder.

But overall, the Lightning Thunder Fist is still the main one.

Therefore, this third level of magical power is similar to the previous "Heavenly Thunder Attraction".

But the difference is that after being integrated into the Crimson Palace Thunder, this move has almost no pre-swing while its power remains unchanged!
In this way, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to avoid it.

After all, who can be faster than lightning?

This alone made it worthwhile for Li Kunshan to reset his previous thousands of experiences and start over again.

However, the attack range is still limited by Li Kunshan's cultivation level, and is now only about a hundred meters.

It’s not too far, but it’s enough to deal with general situations.

"It's done."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Kunshan put down his pen, picked up a drawn talisman to suppress corpses, and nodded slightly.

Compared to the previous few days, this talisman is better drawn.

Although it also takes half a day, compared to the Thunder Technique, the Talisman requires practicing three talismans at the same time: the Soul-Calming Talisman, the Corpse-Calming Talisman, and the Corpse-Controlling Talisman.

If we divide it evenly, the improvement speed of each talisman will naturally be much slower.

So far, these three talismans are only at the second level. As a talisman, the higher the level, the stronger the power and the better the effect.

For example, the puppet talisman can only control inanimate objects in the first three levels, but at levels four to six, it can control animals. If it reaches the seventh level, some spiritual creatures, such as humans, can also be controlled.

The same is true for the three talismans of calming souls, calming corpses, and controlling corpses. The higher the level, the stronger the effect.

It's only on the second floor now, and at most it can suppress some wandering ghosts, as well as low-level white zombies, black zombies or green zombies.

Therefore, compared to the three levels of derived magical powers, the level of the talisman itself is also extremely important.

It was getting late. After drawing talismans all afternoon, although it seemed like he had not exercised much, it was actually extremely exhausting. Li Kunshan's stomach was already growling.

There was still some fish soup left from lunch, so I used it to cook some noodles and put some vegetables in the pot, and that was enough for dinner.

When eating alone, Li Kunshan would keep things as simple as possible unless he was craving for food.

In fact, there are restaurants in the town, and the food and drinks are pretty good.

However, Li Kunshan has not opened his shop yet, and he only has a few dozen dollars in his pocket. He always has to save some money and avoid unnecessary consumption.

"Hoo~!"

After dinner, Li Kunshan sat cross-legged on a cushion in the yard, bathing in the starlight under the night sky and refining his essence into energy.

It will be a waste of time if you practice boxing without practicing kung fu. For Taoists, inner alchemy is the practice of kung fu.

However, the art of inner alchemy is a long and arduous process and cannot be accomplished overnight.

After practicing for more than two hours, although the Qi in the body has increased a little, it is still some distance away from the fourth level of refining essence into Qi.

Li Kunshan is not too anxious about this.

After all, he is a Zhengyi Taoist, not a Quanzhen Taoist. Inner alchemy is only auxiliary, and the key still depends on the ordination.

"Oh~!"

Actually, he hadn't made any achievements since he was ordained, and accumulating Taoist merits was more difficult than he had expected.

No wonder that in all these years, both Taoist Master Qianhe and Taoist Master Simu have only just begun to teach.

The road ahead was difficult, and Li Kunshan once again strengthened his heart and stopped thinking about other things.

Today's practice is almost over. I took a pot of hot water from the kitchen, soaked my feet in the yard, and took out the Huangting Waijing Sutra.

"Laojun wrote seven verses in his leisure time, explaining the body and the various gods. Above is Huangting and below is Guanyuan..."

As one of the exercises, you can improve your experience just by reciting it. It doesn't matter where or when you do it, it's really convenient.

Although we have learned the method of refining essence into energy, it may not be just that.

The Huangting Waijing Sutra has been cultivated to the fifth level. The sixth level will derive a new magical power, and there may be surprises by then.

Li Kunshan firmly remembered what Xuanyi Zhenren said, and read the outer scene scripture first, and then study the inner scene scripture after achieving success.

The so-called success now seems to be the ninth level of refining essence into qi, so before that, he had not started to study the Huangting Neijing Sutra.

"sleep."

After finishing reading it, the water for washing feet had become cold. Li Kunshan got up, washed up simply, and went back to the bedroom to rest.

It's only eight or nine o'clock now. Not to mention his previous life, even in the past two or three years since he traveled through time, Li Kunshan rarely went to bed so early.

But it’s different now. As a Taoist priest, it’s always right to go to bed early and get up early.

The next morning, Li Kunshan got up early, washed up, went out to the street to have breakfast, walked back home slowly, and started practicing as he did yesterday.

Crack~!

There was thunder in the morning. After all, we lived in the town, and the noise would be too loud and might disturb the neighbors, so there were only flashes of lightning and no thunder.

After practicing for two or three hours, Li Kunshan stopped near noon to prepare lunch.

Squeak~!

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

"Miss Ren? Why are you here?"

Li Kunshan was startled when he saw the woman walking in.
