There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

time flies.

Ten days passed quickly.

During these ten days, although Xu Changshou seized every moment to practice breathing techniques, he gained nothing except being exhausted every day.

Seeing that Xu Changshou was so diligent, Zhang Zhengyuan ignored him and let Xu Changshou practice the breathing method on his own.

In addition, during this period, Zhang Zhengyuan basically did not go out except for eating, and meditated in a dark room every day.

Xu Changshou vaguely guessed that Zhang Zhengyuan must have suffered some serious internal injuries, so he needed to meditate every day to recuperate. Once his injuries healed, it would probably be the day he left.

Xu Changshou didn't know when Zhang Zhengyuan would leave, so he practiced breathing techniques every day, not daring to slack off for the slightest.

A month later, Xu Changshou still didn't feel the energy and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Two months later, there was no sense of energy, and Xu Changshou was extremely anxious.

Soon, three months passed, and Xu Changshou still did not feel the qi that Zhang Zhengyuan mentioned. He was almost in despair.

During dinner one day, Xu Changshou finally couldn't help himself and asked, "Master, is your belly-deflation skill reliable? I've been practicing for three months, and there's no effect at all."

Because practicing the Six-Character Breathing Technique requires a flat stomach, Xu Changshou secretly gave it a name that means flat stomach. Zhang Zhengyuan was furious when he heard this. His face turned serious and he said angrily, "Nonsense! The Six-Character Breathing Technique is a key skill of the Xuanmen Sect. How could it be fake? You can't sense the Qi and blame my technique for not working? That's ridiculous. You're just stupid."

"Oh!"

Xu Changshou nodded dejectedly, and suddenly felt a little disappointed with himself.

I am just a cowherd boy, how can I be qualified to practice the superior immortal method? I can only blame myself for being too stupid and not having the chance to learn this superior immortal method.

Hey, a cowherd is a cowherd, how could he want to become an immortal?

wishful thinking.

Xu Changshou felt unhappy and ate silently with his head down. Zhang Zhengyuan shook his head slightly and said in a slow tone, "Changshou, haste makes waste."

Xu Changshou scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Zhengyuan: "You are too anxious."

"Am I too anxious?"

Yeah.

Xu Changshou nodded in agreement.

Zhang Zhengyuan was right. He was indeed too anxious. He had been anxious since he started practicing breathing techniques, fearing that he would not be able to sense the qi before Zhang Zhengyuan left.

After that day, Xu Changshou calmed down, practiced for two hours every day, and ate and drank as usual.

It would be best if you could sense the energy, but if you can’t, there’s no loss. At worst, you can just continue to be your own cowherd.

One morning three days later.

Xu Changshou sat in meditation facing the east, with the golden sunlight shining on his body. He felt warm all over, and this warm feeling turned into a stream of warm energy and entered Xu Changshou's body.

At this moment, Xu Changshou entered a state of enlightenment. The surrounding environment gradually faded in his perception, and he only felt that he was getting warmer and warmer, even a little burning.

At the same time, more and more heat entered Xu Changshou's body.

Soon, the heat condensed at the Baihui point on the top of the head, forming a golden thread about an inch long.

The golden thread happily traveled through the meridians, starting at the Baihui point, then from the top of the head to the body, sometimes to the shoulders, sometimes to the palms, and sometimes to the soles of the feet. It went around the body and finally lay dormant at the Guanyuan point in the abdomen, turning into a golden light spot like a star.

The golden light spots emitted a faint golden glow, constantly shining on Xu Changshou's body, like a miniature sun, baking his entire body warm.

Boom~

Suddenly, the light disappeared, and Xu Changshou's consciousness returned to reality, and he found himself sitting cross-legged in the yard.

What just happened? Could it be...

It feels energetic.

Xu Changshou was ecstatic and immediately tried to visualize the golden light, but found that he could not sense it no matter what.

What happened? Did the energy disappear?

"No? Why did my strength get stronger?"

Xu Changshou was surprised to find that his strength had increased significantly for no reason and was actually comparable to that of an adult.

This is very incredible. You know, Xu Changshou was only twelve years old. Although he often did hard labor, his strength was definitely not as good as that of an adult.

"It must be the feeling of Qi, there's no doubt about it. Let's go ask the Taoist priest."

Xu Changshou knocked on Zhang Zhengyuan's door, pointed at his stomach and said, "Master, I just felt a golden light here. Is this the Qi?"

"impossible!"

Zhang Zhengyuan blurted out, his face full of surprise...

Xu Changshou asked doubtfully, "What's impossible?"

Zhang Zhengyuan quickly put away his surprised expression, put his hand on Xu Changshou's pulse, and for a long time showed a look of surprise: "Strange, strange, this kid actually has spiritual roots."

"Not bad, not bad, not bad, tsk tsk tsk."

Suddenly, Zhang Zhengyuan's eyes became bright when he looked at Xu Changshou, and even his tone of voice suddenly became very friendly.

Xu Changshou was frightened by his gaze and urged, "What is a spiritual root? Taoist priest, please tell me, is this my Qi?"

Zhang Zhengyuan said in an enigmatic manner, "That's right, this is the feeling of Qi."

Xu Changshou was overjoyed: "I feel the energy, that's great, I finally feel the energy."

Zhang Zhengyuan said with a serious expression, "I saw that you have spiritual roots, so I passed on the Six-Character Breathing Method to you. Otherwise, do you think that a cowherd like you would be qualified to practice this supreme immortal method?"

In fact, whether one has spiritual roots or not cannot be seen with the naked eye, but there are special testing tools.

Whether you have spiritual roots and what kind of spiritual roots they are can be determined by using magic tools.

The reason why Zhang Zhengyuan taught the breathing method to Xu Changshou was because he saved his life and he still needed Xu Changshou's help while he was recovering from his injuries.

Therefore, he simply passed the six-word breathing method to Xu Changshou. Regardless of whether Xu Changshou had spiritual roots or not, giving him the breathing method was a way of repaying his gratitude.

I never thought that Xu Changshou really had spiritual roots. The probability of this happening to ordinary people is less than one in ten thousand.

"Thank you, Taoist priest, thank you for your cultivation." Xu Changshou was grateful and secretly rejoiced.

"You still call me Taoist priest? Have you forgotten our agreement?" Zhang Zhengyuan said seriously.

"Agreement, what...disciple greets master."

Xu Changshou suddenly understood and bowed down.

Only then did he remember that Zhang Zhengyuan once said that once he could sense the Qi, he would accept him as his disciple.

"Okay, okay, my good disciple, you should rest early today. Tomorrow morning, I will teach you the real immortal method." Zhang Zhengyuan couldn't help but smile.

"The real immortal method! That's great, Master. Once I practice the real immortal method, I won't have to starve anymore." Xu Changshou looked expectant.

Boom!

Zhang Zhengyuan casually slapped Xu Changshou on the head and said angrily, "You unambitious boy, you only know how to eat."

"True immortal skills can allow one to ascend to heaven and descend to the earth, ride on clouds and mist, exorcise demons and monsters, and even fly on a sword..."

"Flying with a sword?"

Xu Changshou was full of expectations.

Zhang Zhengyuan waved his sleeves and said disdainfully, "Stepping on a flying sword, I can gallop across heaven and earth. How free and easy is that?"

Xu Changshou was so excited that his mouth was watering at the thought of being able to fly with a sword one day.
