Beauty helps me achieve immortality

"The second half? You're joking, fellow Daoist. It must be the first half."

The old man gave a wretched smile, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together like a wrinkled chrysanthemum.

Seeing that Zhao Qing didn't say anything, he held up two fingers and said, "Twenty! Take them away, fellow Daoist!"

Zhao Qing glanced at him silently, then turned to look at the other side of the street, then looked at the sky...

"Eighteen!"

Zhao Qing: ...

"I don't need it because I don't have any earth spiritual roots. If you are sincere in selling it, I will take the five spirit stones. If you don't want to sell it, forget it." After he said that, he didn't even look at the old man, but squatted down to look through the other miscellaneous books on the stall.

Zhao Qing felt a little regretful the moment he finished speaking. It seemed like he had cut too much.

"How about this, I'll take this copy of 'San Tong Qi' with me, along with eight spirit stones."

……

Finally, with Zhao Qing's unremitting efforts, he successfully bought half a volume of axe techniques called "Splitting Mountains" at the price of ten spirit stones, and also got a copy of a more common dual cultivation technique.

After getting it, he flipped through it casually, and after making sure that it would not be a problem for him to practice, he put it directly into his storage bag.

Although he only bought half a copy, Zhao Qing still felt that it was worth it.

After all, this is a military strategy that requires the cultivation of spiritual roots. In the world of immortal cultivation, a higher threshold often means a higher upper limit.

He does have earth spiritual roots.

Low-grade earth spiritual roots... To be precise, all five types of spiritual roots are low-grade.

Because his spiritual roots were too mixed, the Danxia Sect simply did not have any cultivation techniques suitable for him, and even if they did, they would not give them to a menial disciple.

So to some extent, he has actually been running naked on his road to pursuing the great path.

Because he spent too much time near the street stalls, it was completely dark by the time he arrived at Beifang.

Fortunately, the rain did not get heavier, and it felt quite refreshing on this early summer night.

Most of the townhouses in Huima Lane are lit up with lights.

Zhao Qing clutched the wooden plaque with his family's spirit carved on it, listening to the faint croaking of frogs. The tension he had felt along the way due to worrying about encountering the robbers finally relaxed.

After working hard in this world for many years, I finally have a light that is lit for myself and a door that is opened for myself.

everything is fine.

Zhao Qing looked up at his temporary home again. He was moving out tomorrow and probably wouldn't be coming back...

He didn't hesitate for a moment, just took a look and pushed the door open.

Wang Shuyue had been waiting in the outer hall for a long time. When she saw her husband come back, her face instantly lit up and she stood up to greet him.

"Did my husband encounter any danger on his way back?"

Zhao Qing shook his head slightly, threw ten spirit stones on the table, and signaled his wife to put them away.

He accidentally discovered that when his wife realized that he trusted her very much, she would be in a very good mood, work harder at night, and occasionally cry.

In fact...if his wife secretly wiped away tears because of something like this, he would not only not be annoyed, but would feel a unique sense of satisfaction.

It’s nice to have been drifting alone in this world and now I suddenly have a sense of belonging and a home.

"Let's cook the meal. I'm a little hungry."

After taking a short rest in the bedroom, Zhao Qing took out his newly bought military tactics and tried to practice them.

The first half of the book mainly contains some movement essentials, the routes of spiritual energy flow, as well as the techniques of exerting force and the principles of communicating with spiritual roots, which are enough for him to use.

Since he had no axe at hand, he had to use a spatula as a temporary substitute and tried to get started according to the movements and descriptions in the military manual.

Chop, chop, hug, wipe, cloud, slice.

The basic movements can generally be performed in one go, after all, he is someone who has been using an axe for more than ten years.

After gaining a preliminary understanding, he began to study the meridian routes of Reiki and various techniques.

What surprised him was that in addition to the basic set of moves, this axe technique also included various techniques that he had never seen before.

Especially the 'Single-Armed Flying Axe', which requires the use of spiritual energy to control the axe to rotate in the palm of the hand to form a defensive posture.

Or the 'Flying Across the River', which is even more exaggerated, described like an acrobatic performance, requiring the axe to be released from the hand to attack multiple times during the entire set of moves.

Compared with spells and alchemy, military tactics do not consume much spiritual energy.

After all, the main reliance is on weapons to attack and kill, and spiritual energy only plays a partial auxiliary role.

Half an hour later, Zhao Qing threw the spatula in his hand aside, panting.

During this period, the spiritual energy route deviated more than once.

Although the whole set of exercises could be completed in just one stick of incense, he still couldn't activate the panel, probably because he didn't know how to do some of the movements.

Fortunately, it succeeded the last time.

[Li Zi·Chi Lian Jue: Entering the Hall and Mastering the Mastery (2/100)]

After taking a quick glance at the panel in front of him, Zhao Qing noticed that there was an extra "Gen" at the beginning of the new military technique, and guessed that it might be related to some characteristics of the technique itself.

However, there is no way to study it too much at the moment. I can only wait until I have practiced more techniques in the future, and then I should be able to get a glimpse of the clues.

"My husband is very brave, but please don't tire yourself out."

Wang Shuyue had already prepared the meal and had been watching by the side. When she saw her husband finally stop what he was doing, she spoke out loud.

Zhao Qing smiled, nodded slightly, and prepared to go to the table to eat.

The young woman followed her husband closely, praising him: "What kind of swordsmanship have you mastered? It's so graceful and sharp. If you could dance with a sword, it would surely be even more extraordinary."

?

Zhao Qing: ...

"Let's eat first. I picked out a technique suitable for you in the market today. I believe it will be of great benefit to you."

Which martial art is suitable for me?

Wang Shuyue wanted to ask more, but suddenly realized that her husband seemed to be in a bad mood, perhaps too tired, so she didn't say anything.

She chose to turn around and serve her husband food obediently.

After dinner, the couple sat across from each other at the table and finalized many matters related to moving tomorrow.

After midnight, Zhao Qing ended his meditation and restored his energy and spiritual power to its best condition.

Then he took out another book on dual cultivation techniques that he had bought today from his storage bag.

Compared to the tattered "Splitting Mountain Technique", this set of skills is much more exquisite.

The routes of spiritual energy circulation, the acupoints to be massaged, the techniques of strength control, and explanations of various movements are all available.

In addition, each method has a diagram to explain, which is very clever.

There are a total of sixty-nine key points, and I don’t know how long it will take to reach the ultimate level.

Zhao Qing read it carefully.

The general outline of the "San Tong Qi" says: "Yang holds Yin, and male and female need each other. The dragon and horse are ready to ride, and the wise ruler controls the time."

……

After understanding some of the key points, he couldn't wait to guide his wife and practice the newly acquired skills with him.

Since Wang Shuyue has not yet reached the innate realm, she is unable to comprehend the wonderful method at all.

I can only rely on his hands-on teaching. The key points of each movement and the secret of each posture need to be repeatedly practiced.

For a moment, the candlelight dimmed.

The sun shines on the snow-covered fields, and the spring colors dye the Xiang River.
